Chapter 35: The Truth

Barrios' goal made the Chinese fans in front of the TV excited, because they saw Zhou Yi for the first time in the live broadcast of the game, and Barrios hugged Zhou Yi after the goal, which also made everyone very happy Happy - it means that Zhou Yi gets along well with his teammates in the team. Otherwise, why would they not hug others after scoring a goal, but hug Zhou Yi instead?

But for the Chinese fans who have been waiting in front of the TV, this scene is the happiest thing for them in this game.

Until the end of the game, Zhou Yi was not able to play the game. Although he also left the bench to warm up, he finally returned to the bench after the warm-up was over and was not sent to the court.

The TV broadcast of the Bundesliga only gave Zhou Yi a few shots, which was very disappointing to the Chinese fans who had been waiting for Zhou Yi to play.

It's not all bad news, of course.

The good news is... Borussia Dortmund have finally won their first victory in nearly seven league rounds!

1:0, Dortmund took down Borussia Mönchengladbach in a difficult and thrilling away game, and won the second victory in eight rounds of the league.

"Klopp can breathe a sigh of relief! Barrios can also breathe a sigh of relief!" Marcel Leif said at the end of the game. "But we can still see in this game that there is a lot of luck in winning..."

"Alas." Seeing the end of the game, Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV sighed. After waiting for 90 minutes, the son only showed his face in a few scenes, and did not appear at all.

He felt like he wasted his time. Even if he is a fan, he doesn't watch every team's game, any game. As he gets older, he seldom stays up late to watch football. He was crazy when he was young, but it doesn't mean he will be crazy now.

Just waiting for 90 minutes in vain, both mentally and physically, was too much for him.

I didn't wait until my son's appearance. He was very disappointed.

When he takes all his energy out of the game. Only then did he realize that his shoulders were heavy, and when he turned his head, he saw that his wife had fallen asleep on his shoulders at some point.

Not only did he wait for ninety minutes in vain, but his wife also waited for ninety minutes in vain...

He turned to look at the TV screen.

Son. If you don't work hard to play in the game, don't say sorry to your father and me.

You are sorry for your mother who never watched football!

After the game, Zhou Yi celebrated the victory with his teammates and went to the locker room.

But in the mixed zone, he was stopped by a group of Chinese reporters.

This game was due to Zhou Yi's entry into the squad. So there are more Chinese journalists than usual traveling with the team. They all hope to witness Zhou Yi's first official appearance in Dortmund's first team for the first time.

It turned out that they were the same as Zhou Yi's parents and countless fans in front of the TV. Waited for a game in vain.

But they still have questions to ask Zhou Yi.

"Why did Barrios come here to hug you after scoring a goal, Zhou Yi?"

This is the question that everyone is most concerned about, because it means whether they have material to write about in this game.

Zhou Yi didn't hide this question. He didn't feel embarrassed to talk about it, he was generous. Honestly: "Probably because I told him after this morning that he's going to score in today's game..."

The Chinese reporters suddenly realized.

A reporter also took the opportunity to ask Zhou Yi if it was a pity that he was not able to play.

"Of course, everyone who can enter the squad hopes to play games. But whether they can play or not. When to play, this is the head coach's business. He must have his own considerations. As a player, all you can do is to train hard. , wait patiently." Zhou Yi answered quite maturely, not at all like an impatient young man, but more like a veteran who is used to big winds and waves...

But to the reporters, Zhou Yi's words were more like a scene, and they certainly didn't want to listen to Zhou Yi's words. Moreover, Zhou Yi is mature, and there is also a negative evaluation, that is, he is old and sophisticated, and he can't speak the truth...

"It's the truth, Zhou Yi! We know this is definitely not your truth!" A reporter yelled.

He immediately got the approval and echo of other Chinese reporters: "That's right, we all know what you said. It's up to the coach to decide whether to play or not, but we want to hear your most authentic inner voice."

Looking at these booing reporters, Zhou Yi thought of his parents at home. Although he hadn't contacted his parents after the game started, he knew in his heart that his father and mother must be in this game. I have been waiting in front of the TV during the game, hoping that I can play.

Although before the game, Zhou Yi repeatedly emphasized to his parents that the possibility of him not being able to play in this game was very high, and told them not to waste time waiting.

But after the real game, there was not a moment in his heart that he didn't want to be able to play the game.

If a player doesn't care about whether he can play, then the player must be unqualified.

Zhou Yi is obviously not such an unqualified player.

Even if it's not for himself, but just for his parents waiting in front of the TV, he still hopes to be able to appear.

After the reporters booed, seeing Zhou Yi suddenly fell silent, they knew there was something going on. So they all quieted down, waiting for Zhou Yi to speak his mind.

But what they waited for was Zhou Yi's grimace: "I won't tell you! Otherwise, you will write scribbles just to attract attention!"

After speaking, Zhou Yi made a face to the reporters, then turned and ran away.

A group of reporters didn't expect Zhou Yi to give them such an answer, and they felt like they were being tricked.

"Hey! This kid!"

"But he already told us, didn't he?" said an elderly reporter, reminding everyone.

When the others thought about it carefully, it was true—although Zhou Yi didn't say it directly, his attitude already showed that he clearly wanted to appear...

It's just that he can't say it clearly, in order not to leave any clues, he chose this way.

He really deserves to be a person who plays football with his head, smart!

Everyone praised Zhou Yi's cleverness, but they didn't know that Zhou Yi didn't think that much at all. He really didn't want to tell the reporters what he really thought. It's just that these reporters are used to brainstorming and have a good association ability. So they still figured it out...

When Barrios came. There were also Chinese reporters who stopped Barrios and asked him about embracing Zhou Yi—to confirm Zhou Yi’s statement, so that after they reported Zhou Yi’s statement, some people who wanted to find fault would say that it was the words of Zhou Yi’s family. It was Zhou Yi who was forcibly bragging.

So they need to get Barrios' testimony.

Barrios was also very happy to see that it was a Chinese reporter. Because of Zhou Yi, he feels very friendly when he sees Chinese reporters now, so he is very happy to stop and accept interviews with Chinese reporters.

"First of all, congratulations. Lucas, you broke the scoring drought. In addition, we are very emotional. Why did you take the initiative to hug Zhou Yi after scoring a goal?"

"Ah, this is to express my gratitude to him. Because it was Zhou Yi who encouraged me before the game and told me that I could score in this game. When I really scored in the game. Naturally the first one will be Thinking of him." Barrios replied with a smile.

As soon as the Chinese reporters heard about it, they got the evidence. Now that they praise Zhouyi again, those picky people probably have nothing to say.

Although it was only a narrow victory, being able to win is always something to be happy about. So after the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach. The Dortmund players are all happy.

Barrios was the happiest one, with a constant smile on his face.

This kind of joyful atmosphere also made everyone have a good appetite when tasting food in the car.

As I said before, before the game, players often can't eat too much, so it is very important to replenish energy during the intermission. A good supplement can even help the outstanding performance in the second half.

But a good time to replenish energy is not only halftime, but also after the game, and even after the game is more important than the halftime break.

Cyp Helberg, the head coach of the former West Germany team who won the World Cup in 1954, has a famous saying called "After the game, the game begins." This sentence he said may be relatively unfamiliar, and fans have not heard it very much. You must be familiar with another sentence he said, and everyone knows it-"Football is round".

Herberger's phrase "The game starts after the game" is not a slip of the tongue that Bobby Charlton said "the most important thing in a game is the 90 minutes before the game". What Helberg means is that after the game Supplementation and recovery are very important.

Because Herberger is the legendary number one in German football, his ideas are very popular in German football. Many Bundesliga coaches put a lot of emphasis on post-match energy.

For example, the former head coach of Duisburg Kohler once said: "After a large amount of physical exercise, the lost carbohydrates must be recovered. So I will definitely gather all the players together after the game to eat well. Meal."

Also holding the same view are the former Hamburg coach Doll and the former Hertha Berlin coach Goetz.

"It's better to have something to eat as soon as the game is over, so we have a lot of snacks and drinks in the locker room."

And now not only after the game, but also after daily training, the team will also provide some snacks and snacks in the locker room for the players to enjoy. Especially in a team like Dortmund that exercises a lot during training, exhausted players must eat something when they return to the locker room.

This time at Borussia Mönchengladbach's home court, after the game, Dortmund's players enjoyed the fried steak with Bologna sauce specially ordered by the team's coaching staff on the bus.

Even though Zhou Yi didn't make an appearance, he still ate a piece.

Gross Kreutz made fun of him, and said to Zhou Yi with a straight face: "Hey, Zhou Yi, have you played in the game, there is no physical consumption, how can you eat like us?"

Zhou Yi stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, and bit it down, the meat juice filled in the tender meat splashed everywhere, filling the whole mouth in an instant, and the aroma even came out from the nostrils, Zhou Yi took a sharp breath, and put those The aroma is inhaled again.

After doing all this, he said to Gross Kreutz: "I got up to warm up four times during the game and celebrated a goal once. It was also a waste of energy, okay, 'Master'."

Gross Kreutz didn't expect how Zhou Yi would answer him, and was speechless for a while: "Hey!"

Hummels, who was next to him, heard Zhou Yi say this, and almost spit out the drink in his mouth with a smile. Fortunately, he held back, covered his mouth with his hand, and his face flushed.

The other team members also laughed when they heard the conversation between Zhou Yi and Gross Kreutz, and the car was full of laughter.

The coaching staff sitting in the front seats also heard laughter from the back of the car.

"It's great to win the game, the atmosphere of the team has improved..." assistant coach Buvac said with emotion.

Klopp took a bite of the tender and juicy fried steak, wrapped it in his mouth and chewed, he nodded his head speechless, he didn't know whether he was praising the delicious steak or saying to Bouac Agree. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
