Chapter 20 Let’s Start Training Together

On the first day after the match between the Chinese team and the Dutch team, the Chinese team started their training as usual. The first fifteen minutes of training were open to the media.

Reporters from China and some Spanish reporters gathered outside the training ground, waiting to watch the Chinese team's training begin.

As the opponent in the next game, Spanish fans are of course concerned about the situation of the Chinese team, especially whether Zhou Yi can come back.

For Spain, they have been eliminated from the World Cup early. So now there is only one thing left, that is, they must not leave the World Cup with three losses. They must win a victory. This is a battle of honor, and the dignified World Cup champion must maintain his dignity.

Therefore, they are also very concerned about whether Zhou Yi can play. If Zhou Yi cannot play, of course it is best.

When the Chinese team players wore training equipment and appeared on the training ground one after another, reporters saw Zhou Yi.

In the previous training, Zhou Yi was with the team during the warm-up phase, but after the warm-up, he went to the side to train alone, and a special coach came to take him.

Would that still be the case today?

Soon, when Lippi came to the training ground with the coaching staff, physical coach Li Tie and assistant coach Madaloni began to lead the Chinese team players to warm up.

Photographers began to take photos and videos of the Chinese team’s warm-up training.

Journalists gathered together to discuss whether Zhou Yi could train with the team.

"...Actually, I think Zhou Yi hasn't practiced with the team yet. Even if he can practice together today, so what? The time left for him and the Chinese team is too tight. If I remember correctly, Our next match against Spain is on June 23rd, today is the 19th, there are only four days, what is enough to do?"

After the reporter finished speaking, many people around him nodded silently.

They also felt that even if Zhou Yi could practice with the team today, the time would be too tight.

Can he fit in perfectly with this team? Everyone starts training more than a month in advance just to shape the team. How can anyone train just four days before the game?

But there are also different views: "In any case, as long as Zhou Yi can play, it will be of great significance. The most important impact after he plays will not be reflected in tactics, but psychologically. With him or without him, for other international players Completely two feelings.

"

This statement was also agreed by many reporters and felt that it made sense.

Zhou Yi is the tactical core of this team and also the spiritual leader, so if he can play, he will definitely inspire other players in a different way.

But no matter which view is taken, it is tacitly acknowledged that Zhou Yi played little tactical role.

After all, the objective law of time cannot be changed.

Just as he said that, the warm-up on the field was over.

Then the players regrouped and listened to coach Lippi's instructions.

The training session didn't last long, and the next step was formal training.

At this time, the fifteen-minute media opening time has not ended yet, and there are still a few minutes left.

All reporters outside the training ground turned their attention to Zhou Yi.

They want to see if Zhou Yi will stay in the team, or leave the team as usual and go to the other half of the court to train.

The answer was soon revealed.

Lippi directly dragged Zhou Yi to his side, and then announced to the whole team: "Today Zhou Yi is training with us. The team medical team believes that he has reached the level where he can conduct confrontation training. Despite this, I hope everyone will take action against Zhou Yi." Be a little gentler.”

There was a burst of applause and cheers from the players of the Chinese team.

The reporters couldn't hear what Lippi said, but they could hear the applause and cheers.

The reporter who was slow to respond was still asking: "What happened?"

The smart reporter has already guessed the answer: "Zhou Yi is going to train with the team!"

There was also a burst of suppressed cheers among the Chinese reporters. No matter how effective Zhou Yi is in the next game, everyone still hopes to see Zhou Yi come back.

The Spanish reporters immediately gathered together and started whispering.

Some reporters who couldn't wait took out their mobile phones and started posting the news on their respective social network accounts.

"Breaking news! Zhou Yi is training with the whole team! He is expected to participate in the next World Cup group match against Spain!"

"Hero Zhou Yi returns before the national football team's life-and-death battle! The training ground burst into applause and cheers for him!"

"At the most critical time for the Chinese team, their core is back!"

"News! Zhou Yi is training with the team! Our reporters will continue to send you the latest reports from the front!"

Now is the Internet age. When traditional media report breaking news, their timeliness can no longer keep up with the speed of the Internet.

Soon, through the Internet, fans as far away as China knew what happened on the training ground in Brazil.

"Zhou Yi is back!"

"Zhou Yi is training with the team! This is the first step in his successful comeback!"

"Great! Great! In the first two games, the Chinese team played so awkwardly without Zhou Yi... Finally our core is here!"

"The gods have returned! The Chinese team's strongest form is coming!"

"Spain trembles! Our Zhou Yi is back!"

"So what if I win the World Cup? With Zhouyi, I can show you the same thing!"

…

Although the game is still several days away, Chinese fans seem to already feel that they have a chance to win. Excited, they began to look forward to the knockout stages.

And not only fans of the Chinese team are optimistic about this, but gambling companies in Europe and Macau have also adjusted the odds of the match between the Chinese team and the Spanish team. Previously, judging from the odds, Spain was more optimistic about winning the Chinese team. But now after adjustments, although Spain is still more favored, the odds of the Chinese team are no longer as bad as before.

The reporters have already left the training ground, and the time open to the public has long ended.

But these reporters did not leave completely, but waited outside, waiting for the Chinese team's training to end. They couldn't wait to see how effective Zhou Yi's joint training would be.

They couldn't see the training scene, they could only hear the faint sound of whistles and kicks, as well as the occasional laughter.

"There is laughter again...it seems that the Chinese team players are in a good mood..."

"That's right, as long as there is laughter. It means that the Chinese team's training is going very smoothly. Otherwise, how can everyone still laugh?"

"It makes sense!"

"In that case, the effect of Zhou Yi's joint training must be good, right?"

In order to learn the latest situation, a group of reporters suddenly transformed into Sherlock Holmes, Detective Conan and Kindaichi... They did not let go of any clues and deduce the truth of the matter from the pitiful few clues.

It’s really hard to work hard for news reports.

※※※

In fact, Zhouyi's joint training effect is indeed very good.

On the sidelines of the training ground, Lippi was exchanging views on the current training with his translator Wen Shudang.

"Zhou Yi is really a magical person, unbelievable..." Lippi said with emotion. "Can you imagine that before today's training session, he had been absent from normal training for almost a month?"

Wen Shudang shook his head: "It is indeed incredible. His performance is as if he is training with the team every day, and there is no sense of unfamiliarity. Although he has cooperated with many people in this national team, he is not the same now. Everyone is in a different state than before, and even the head coach has changed."

He also teased Lippi.

"When Klopp called me, he said that Zhou Yi would surprise me. I thought it was a tactical surprise at the time, but now it seems that I still underestimated him..." Lippi murmured.

"Isn't this great? Zhou Yi can seamlessly integrate into the team, so we don't have to worry."

"Of course, of course. It saves us the trouble..." Lippi smiled.

The two of them were talking about what everyone saw just now.

Whether it is offensive and defensive routine training or group confrontation training, Zhou Yi's integration with the team is very high. There was no discomfort at all. From the moment he stepped onto the training ground, he integrated into the team. Just like Wen Shudang said, he seems to be training with the team every day.

At first, the Chinese team players were shocked. Later, I couldn't care less about the surprise and devoted myself wholeheartedly to training.

Since Zhou Yi doesn't have any adaptation problems, they shouldn't waste time.

No one knows why Zhou Yi is so adaptable to Lippi's training sessions. You must know that this is the first time for him to participate in the whole team training after Lippi coached the Chinese team. But why does he seem to be completely unfamiliar with the training requirements of Lippi's coaching team?

In the end, everyone could only attribute the reason to Zhou Yi's amazing talent and his ability to understand tactics far beyond ordinary people.

Genius, of course, cannot be measured by ordinary people's standards...

No one knows that Zhou Yi has actually been training with the team before this, but in the virtual space. If calculated based on the time, he has been training with everyone for more than 170 days!

How could there still be discomfort?
