Chapter 118 Zhou Sang Is Really Amazing!

Although the media fans didn't know at the beginning that Zhou Yi retreated and became a midfielder.

In terms of training, Klopp can keep it secret.

But he can't make the warm-up match completely closed, right?

Some less important warm-up matches, such as matches with local low-level league teams, may not be open to the public.

However, it is impossible to prevent fans from entering the arena in some slightly more formal warm-up matches.

Some pre-season games are even broadcast live on TV.

Therefore, the matter of Zhou Yi hitting the midfielder cannot be concealed after all. It is also impossible for Klopp to let Zhou Yi continue to play the midfielder in the game, so the meaning of the warm-up match will be gone.

The purpose of pre-season warm-up games is to allow teams to use actual combat to test what they have practiced in practice.

Zhou Yi is doing very well in training now, but it is training after all, and there is a big gap between training and actual combat.

Although the warm-up match cannot be compared with the real league, at least it is more practical than training.

So in the pre-season warm-up match, Zhou Yi appeared in the midfielder position.

In the first open warm-up match, everyone discovered that Zhou Yi's position had changed.

Not the front waist, but the back waist.

This can be clearly seen from the stance when kicking off.

Zhou Yi and Sven Bender stood on the same line, in front of the back line.

This discovery surprised the Chinese reporters. They did not expect Zhou Yi to move back. Could this be a concession made by the arrival of Shinji Kagawa?

After the Japanese journalists who were also in the media seat discovered this, they were very excited-does this mean that Kagawa has a chance?

However, as the game progressed, the excitement of the Japanese reporters gradually cooled and disappeared.

Judging from the game, the core of the team is still Zhou Yi. Although Kagawa started the game, he cannot replace Zhou Yi.

The anxious hearts of the Chinese journalists gradually calmed down.

They found that Zhou Yi also played very well in the midfielder position,

There is nothing wrong with it. Moreover, his range of activities is very large, and he will not be fixed in the backcourt. He will actively advance to participate in the offense, and sometimes even occupy the position of the offensive players in the frontcourt.

This shows that Zhou Yi is still the leader of this team. He controls the rhythm of offense and defense on the court.

Although far away from the goal. But his organizational role was not diminished.

Because the Zhouyihui they saw... a long pass!

Although I don't know when Zhou Yi will do it, at least he is using a long pass.

And judging from the actual effect, the accuracy is not too bad.

Zhou Yi's performance in the warm-up match gave Chinese reporters and fans a reassurance, and also made those Japanese reporters understand that Shinji Kagawa was telling the truth.

Game after game. Although Zhou Yi didn't play the whole game - no one could play the whole game in the warm-up match - the quality that Zhou Yi showed greatly shocked the Japanese reporters.

For a long time, Japanese reporters have believed that Japanese football is the strongest in Asia. Especially in the midfield, they have successively produced many European-level players.

Hidetoshi Nakata, who became famous the earliest, was also the most successful.

Behind him are Shunsuke Nakamura and Makoto Hasebe.

In midfield. Japanese football has always been strong. In the past, they were weak at forwards.

At that time, there was such a widely circulated view among Chinese domestic fans that the Chinese team had no shortage of excellent forwards. Yang Chen, Hao Dong, Song Maozhen, Li Bin, Li Jinyu are all outstanding forwards. The Japanese national team has a good midfielder, but no striker who can attack the city.

Now, the Japanese striker has caught up. Beyond China, Japan's midfielder is still a traditional advantage.

But now. They feel that in the midfield position, in addition to South Korea's Park Ji-sung, China also has an extra Zhou Yi...

As the German media said. The shortcomings of Zhouyi they observed are prominent, but a little more prominent.

Moreover, his shortcomings are all concentrated in the physical and technical aspects, but these can be improved through practice, and they can be gradually improved.

What makes Zhou Yi strong is his excellent vision and football awareness.

Japanese football reporters are all knowledgeable people, and it can be seen at a glance that this is the quality that determines the upper limit of a player's talent.

No matter how unwilling they are, they have to admit that Zhouyi is better than Shinji Kagawa in this respect.

Of course, Shinji Kagawa and Zhou Yi play in different ways, and there is no direct comparison.

But if you want to be the core of Dortmund, Shinji Kagawa may find it difficult to win Zhou Yi.

So after several warm-up matches, Chinese reporters discovered a new situation. That is, when they meet a Japanese reporter outside the Dortmund training ground, the other party will take the initiative to mention Zhou Yi to them, and then give them a thumbs up: "Zhou Sang, Sbarasi!!"

Hearing these words, the Chinese journalists feel like drinking a bottle of cold beer in summer, feeling refreshed from the inside out.

Everyone knows that the Japanese admire the strong, and they are willing to praise Zhou Yi so much, naturally because they are conquered by Zhou Yi's performance.

This simply greatly satisfied the national pride and vanity of Chinese journalists.

In the past two decades, in the field of football, China needs to look up to Japan. The eyes of the Japanese are not even in Asia, but in Europe. There were rumors that the Japanese Football Association was planning to leave the AFC and apply to join the European Union. Football Federation, go to Europe to participate in competitions, so as to improve your own level...

So it is not easy for Chinese football to get praise from Japanese football.

But now something like this is happening.

Because of Zhou Yi's good performance, these Chinese journalists also felt "proud and proud".

On August 10, after finishing the training camp in Austria, the Dortmund team returned to Germany to start preparing for the new season of the Bundesliga.

The first round of the Bundesliga will start on August 20. The opening game will be last season's league champion Bayern Munich vs. Wolfsburg at home.

The Dortmund game is the last game of the first round, at home against Bayer Leverkusen.

After returning to Germany, Zhou Yi received his first personal award in his career at the Braker training base-the Bundesliga Best Newcomer Award last season.

When the Chinese reporters looked at Zhou Yi through the lens, they found that Zhou Yi in the camera was holding the trophy and smiling with his mouth open. The sun hit his face and the trophy, and his cheeks and the trophy were shining in the sun.

After Zhou Yi won the best newcomer award, it also caused a wave of discussions in China.

In fact, no one is surprised that Zhou Yi won this award, because everyone saw Zhou Yi's performance in the team last season. You know, in the case of only 21 games in the league, he won the assist king last season with 14 assists!

Such a result, let alone the best rookie, is eligible to compete for the best player or the best foreign aid.

So Zhou Yi deserved to be the best newcomer, and it can be said that there is no competitor who can match it.

However, Zhou Yi won this award, which greatly satisfied the vanity of domestic fans.

This is also the highest honor individual award that Chinese players have won while studying abroad.

In the downturn of Chinese football, Zhou Yi is like a shot in the arm, making the dead hearts of many Chinese fans beat again.

Now everyone is no longer worried about whether Zhou Yi can stay in the first team as they did a season ago.

Zhou Yi's ability to secure the core position of the team is what they consider.

Judging from the pre-season warm-up match, Zhou Yi's performance in the new position is not bad, and he should be the core of Dortmund in the new season.

After becoming the core of Dortmund, how far Zhou Yi can lead this team is probably the topic that everyone cares more about.

※※※

Chinese fans and reporters are concerned about Zhou Yi's future in Dortmund, but Zhou Yi himself is concerned about Mark's future.

Judging from the pre-season warm-up match, Mark didn't seem to adapt very well at the beginning, but he is improving a little bit. By the time of the last two warm-up games, he was able to perform very well and scored beautiful goals, and more than one.

Mark's performance also attracted the attention of the media and some Dortmund fans.

After a whole summer of training, Mark looked no longer the kid who had just been transferred to the first team.

Zhou Yi believes that Mark will be able to stay in the first team in the end!

Of course, staying in the first team is only the first step in the long march, and we need to continue to work hard to be able to play.

But if you can't even stay with the first team, let alone play for the first team.

Zhou Yi was very happy with Mark's progress and performance.

You must know that Mark’s goal in the warm-up match of the first team was not assisted by himself, because he and Mark had not played in the warm-up match at the same time. When he was on the court, Mark was a substitute. After he was replaced, Mark Just debuted.

So the two never got along.

But because of this, Mark's goal in the warm-up match is very valuable, because it just shows Mark's true level. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
