Champion’s Heart

Chapter 37 Lucky Angel

The game against Bochum was at home, so Zhou Yi, who was not selected for the 18-man squad, appeared in the South Stand with Mark's family again.

Before the game started, "Daddy" Bruno and the others talked about the last game with Zhou Yi. They expressed regret that Zhou Yi sat on the bench for 90 minutes but did not get a chance to play. Be more open-minded.

After the start of the game, Dortmund, who played at home, quickly gained the upper hand.

In the last game, Dortmund won Borussia Mönchengladbach in an away game. Although it was a narrow victory, the positive effect of the victory was still great. Dortmund's players recovered a lot. Now it is his home court again, amidst the non-stop cheers of the fans in the South Stand, the players are fighting for the first place.

This time, Dortmund took the lead in the 20th minute of the game, and the goal was scored by... Barrios who scored in the previous game!

"Lucas—" Westfalen's live broadcaster Norbert Dickel shouted, holding a microphone.

Behind his voice was the roar of Dortmund fans: "Barrios!!!"

Zhou Yi was among them, shouting loudly.

He was really happy for Barrios. He had failed to score a goal in seven consecutive league rounds before, but this time he scored in two consecutive league rounds!

Now, the pressure should be gone, right?

※※※

After Barrios scored, his teammates rushed up excitedly, hugged him and celebrated with him.

"Scoring goals in two consecutive rounds, well done!"

Everyone congratulates him.

Barrios was also very excited. After being hugged by his teammates, his first reaction was to struggle hard, trying to break free from his teammates and ran to the bench.

He wants someone to hug.

But after struggling a bit, he remembered that Zhou Yi did not appear on the bench in this game. Because he didn't make the big list!

A little regretful, but Barrios was even more excited in his heart - before the last game, Zhou Yi told himself that he would definitely score a goal. When he actually scored a goal in the game. What he thought was to thank Zhou Yi for his blessing. So when he hugged Zhou Yi, he shouted "thank you".

But now, for the second time in a row, Zhou Yi said before the game that he would definitely score in the game, but Barrios couldn't believe it was due to Zhou Yi's blessing...he began to feel. This may not be a simple blessing, but a blessing infused with some mysterious power. Zhou Yi is simply his lucky angel!

※※※

"Barrios scored again! After scoring the only goal in the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the last round, he scored again in this game! This is amazing! Or seven rounds in a row No goals in the game, or two consecutive rounds of league goals!" Marcel Leif also thought it was a coincidence when explaining the game. "Anyway, the cloud of distrust hanging over Barrios' head can be dissipated!"

After Barrios' goal, Dortmund played better and better, and the players' condition was restored. In terms of player strength alone, Dortmund is still better than Bochum, as long as everyone plays normally. It is very difficult for Bochum not to take away the victory from the away game.

At the end of the first half, Dortmund scored again. The person who scored this time was the central defender Subotic, who took advantage of a corner kick,

He made a contribution to Dortmund.

The cheers from the South Stand were deafening, almost deafening temporarily.

Dortmund fans haven't watched such a hearty game for a long time. Although there were only two goals, in the first half, the situation on the field was firmly controlled by Dortmund. Dortmund can play as they want.

※※※

"We could clearly hear the cheers coming from the Westfalenstadion, the Dortmund fans were cheering in the stands... Indeed. It's not surprising that they did that because it was the first time Dortmund have played together this season. Scored two goals in one game! Ha!" TV commentator Duan Xin teased Dortmund. He is a Bundesliga commentator, but he has his own home team in mind. That is Dortmund's enemy Bayern Munich. So he explained that Dortmund's game was relatively easy, and he could also tease the two teams on the field.

But Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV didn't think it was funny at all, he even sighed.

Although his son said that he did not enter the squad for this game, Zhou Jianliang finally chose to sit in front of the TV and watch this game that seemed to have nothing to do with his son.

For this reason, his wife Li Cuiyun complained dissatisfactorily about him.

In this regard, Zhou Jianliang showed his "magnificence" as a man in a rare way, and hummed: "What do you know!"

But he couldn't explain to his wife who didn't understand football why he still wanted to watch this game, because he didn't want to see if Zhou Yi could play in this game. He, a fan who never cared about Dortmund before and never watched a Dortmund game, just wanted to understand the situation of Dortmund through the recent game.

If the situation in Dortmund is still as bad as before, and the scenes and results are the same, it means that his son's chances of playing are getting bigger and bigger. Because Klopp must seek change, it is impossible to allow the situation to continue to change. For the head coach, if the team cannot win consecutively, it is necessary to adjust the lineup and try more combinations.

But conversely, if Dortmund's performance improves, then his son's chances of playing will become lower and lower. Because for a coach, if the team continues to win and the performance improves, then he has no reason to make adjustments to the current lineup anyway...

To do this, he had to watch Dortmund's games with his own eyes and learn about Dortmund's recent situation.

So he waited in front of the TV.

But in the end, what he saw was Dortmund, who performed better than the previous game, and scored two goals in 45 minutes of the half!

He began to feel that the possibility of his son wanting to play in the near future is almost zero...

※※※

In the end, Dortmund defeated Bochum 2-0 at home with two goals in the first half.

Zhou Yi and his companions in the South Stand cheered for the team's victory together, but they never thought that if the team's performance improved, his chances of playing would decrease...

The next day, the players who did not participate in the game came to the training base for restorative training, but Zhou Yi unexpectedly saw Barrios in the locker room.

It stands to reason that the players who participated in yesterday's game are not used to participate in today's training, because they need to rest, and they have this right. The coach will give them time off.

Therefore, if the coach arranges for the players not to participate in the training, they will not appear in the training base.

"Lucas?" Seeing Barrios in the locker room, Zhou Yi greeted him in surprise. "How did you come?"

Unexpectedly, Barrios grabbed Zhou Yi's shoulder: "I'm here to thank you, Zhou Yi!"

"Huh?" Zhou Yi didn't understand.

"You are my lucky angel, Zhou Yi! I must thank you face to face!" Barrios said to Zhou Yi with some excitement.

Zhou Yi still didn't understand.

"You told me before yesterday's game that I would definitely score. I did! This is the second game in a row!" Barrios continued excitedly.

Only then did Zhou Yi understand. Facing Barrios who was so excited, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Lucas, but in fact... that's your own ability, and it's up to you to decide whether you score or not. If you perform well, goals will come to you..."

"Of course, of course I also have credit. But you also have credit!" Barrios was very determined.

Facing such a stubborn Barrios, Zhou Yi had no choice but to spread his hands: "Okay, then I will be your lucky angel, Lucas."

Hearing Zhou Yi's confession, Barrios grinned, and patted Zhou Yi's shoulder: "Come on, kid!"

After speaking, he was about to leave.

"Hey. Since you're here, why don't you train with us?" Zhou Yi asked to stay.

Barrios turned around and smiled even brighter: "That's no need, Zhou Yi. I have an appointment today, so I want to celebrate it. I scored goals in two consecutive rounds! Come on and train!"

After speaking, he walked away happily.

Looking at the back of Barrios, Zhou Yi rolled his eyes...

※※※

In the next tenth round of the league, Dortmund played away against Leverkusen. As Zhou Jianliang predicted, Zhou Yi did not enter the 18th National Congress.

But before heading off to the away game, Barrios found Zhou Yi specifically. Ask him if he has dreamed divination.

Zhou Yi naturally knew what he was concerned about, so it was natural to say auspicious words at this time, and in the virtual game of Dreamland, Barrios did score a goal.

So he nodded and said, "That's right. I dreamed you scored again, Lucas."

"Okay!" Barrios looked very excited, and seemed to be bursting with confidence in an instant.

Seeing how happy Barrios was, Zhou Yi felt that if Barrios could play in a happy mood, it would be considered his contribution to the team...

But in fact, he doesn't think Barrios can score in three consecutive league rounds.

But when he was watching the live broadcast of the game at home, when the game reached the eighth minute. He stood up from the sofa in surprise!

On the TV screen in front of him, there was a picture of Barrios running towards the corner flag area. Marcel Leif, the head commentator of German Pay TV, is shouting: "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Three consecutive league rounds scored goals! Lucas Barrios, he did it!"

"Damn it..." Zhou Yi in front of the TV murmured dumbfounded.

In the end, with the goal of Barrios, Dortmund drew Leverkusen 1:1 in the away game. Although they didn't win, they didn't lose either. They were unbeaten for three consecutive rounds, which is not bad.

After the game, the score and the scorer of the game were displayed on the screen. On Dortmund's side, Barrios' name was very eye-catching.

Looking at the name, Zhou Yi felt that the matter was nothing more than three, and that Barrios' luck in the next game would not be so good...

※※※

PS, in order to celebrate the Spring Festival with everyone, tomorrow is the third watch!

Well... Actually, it's because there is a new lord to add updates... In short, there will be three changes tomorrow, and three changes on the first day of the Year of the Monkey. I hope it can bring good luck and a good mood to everyone in the new year!
