Chapter 119 Season Preview

With the league approaching, Dortmund has also announced the first team registration list for this season.

In the list published on this official website, Mark Wagner is impressively listed!

He finally managed to stay in the first team through his own efforts, not the help of others.

The significance of this to Mark is not only that he can stay in the first team, but more importantly, it has improved Mark's self-confidence.

Self-confidence is the most important thing.

When Zhou Yi first met Mark, he found that Mark's biggest problem was not his physical fitness or technical level, but his lack of self-confidence.

Now through his own efforts and finally staying in the first team, Mark will definitely gain great confidence, which will help him in his future.

After the announcement of each team's roster, Germany's "Kicker" magazine made a season preview during the transfer period.

Based on each team's current players, analyze their prospects for the new season.

Among them, Bayern Munich is naturally the favorite to win the championship.

In this World Cup in South Africa, although the German team finally won the third place again, their approach of focusing on young players has been widely praised.

And it is not unreasonable for the Bayern Munich club, which is a major player in the German national team, to be favored. It's just that most of their main players have participated in the World Cup, and they will definitely feel tired. Therefore, analysis believes that Bayern Munich may lose to some unknown teams in the beginning of the season. However, the article also believes that after the adjustments during the winter break, Bayern Munich should still be able to regain the lead Huangshan by virtue of its strong strength and rich experience in winning the championship.

Dortmund's mortal enemy Schalke 04 has a high level of defense. It has the main goalkeeper Neuer of the German national team and the midfield configuration of the quasi-German national team: Westermann, Pender and Jones. But the problem with Schalke 04 is their offense, Kuranyi is disobedient, and Farfan is embarrassing. The offense basically depends on Rakitic's performance, but no matter how powerful Rakitic is, he is alone, and he can't support it with one arm.

Also in the first group is Werder Bremen.

Werder Bremen finished fourth last season, just four points behind third-placed Schalke 04. Almost in the Champions League. However, "Kicker" is not very optimistic about Werder Bremen. Because just when the league was about to start, they lost the core of the team, the young German international Ozil. Real Madrid spent 15 million euros to poach him. After losing Ozil.

Werder Bremen's competitiveness in the league has dropped significantly.

And Dortmund, which ranked second last season, is also not favored by "Kicker" this season. Because they also lost the core Shaheen. Let Shaheen go. Considered stupid by The Kicker. Although Shaheen brought them 16 million, but what kind of people did they buy in the transfer market? An unknown Japanese with 300,000 yuan, and a Polish striker who is not in the top league. A back-up goalkeeper from as far away as Australia, some free agents and youngsters from the second team.

Perhaps the most familiar in the Bundesliga is the winger Piszczek who previously played for Hertha Berlin. But the Pole was also inconsistent at Hertha, good and bad, for six seasons. Three of those seasons were spent on loan to a team in the Polish First Division called Lublin.

From the 2007-2008 season, he officially played in Hertha Berlin. Played as a striker at the beginning, but there were not many opportunities. Later switched to winger.

Counted as a main player in Hertha Berlin last season, played 31 times and scored two goals. In the Europa League, he also scored a goal in nine appearances.

As a result, Hertha Berlin were relegated last season. He jumped from Hertha Berlin to Borussia Dortmund.

Looking at these people that Dortmund has signed this season, "Kicker" thinks that it is really difficult for people to have any confidence in their prospects.

Shaheen is gone, although Zhou Yi is still there. But "Kicker" believes that Zhou Yi's outstanding performance last season was based on the lack of understanding of him. And after one season of outstanding performance, he must have been thoroughly studied, so it will be difficult to think of any outstanding performance in the second season.

Moreover, "Kicker" also believes that Zhou Yi's outstanding performance last season has a lot to do with Shaheen sharing a lot of pressure for him. Now that Shaheen has left the team, the pressure is on Zhou Yi. He will be the opponent's key target in the game, but this time there is no Shaheen to form a dual core with him.

There is another very fatal problem, that is Zhou Yi's physical fitness. He was rarely able to play a full game last season. How can such physical fitness cope with the intensive league and Champions League?

Once Zhou Yi performs poorly, Dortmund's performance will also fluctuate.

Although Zhou Yi changed to play as a midfielder in the new season, and his performance in the warm-up match was not bad. However, "Kicker" believes that the intensity of the warm-up match cannot be compared with the official game at all. Moreover, Dortmund will also play the Champions League this season, and the Champions League is even more intense than the Bundesliga.

How can Zhou Yi cope?

Zhou Yi has to defend when playing as a midfielder, right?

But his defensive level is not flattering. If you don't defend, Dortmund is equal to a defensive midfielder in the midfield, and it is easy to be penetrated by the opponent.

At this time, let’s talk about Shaheen again. As a defensive midfielder, Shaheen is also responsible for defense. His defensive ability is much stronger than Zhou Yi...

So Zhou Yi switched to playing as a midfielder. It seemed that Klopp wanted to use Zhou Yi to fill the gap left by Shaheen. But Zhou Yi is not a professional midfielder after all. He has been playing as a midfielder before, so there must be some incompatibility and inadaptability.

It's too risky to put the treasure on such a person. "Kicker" is hard to see Dortmund's performance in the new season. Perhaps sometimes they can burst out with strong combat effectiveness and rank among the best in the league standings. But the league is a marathon. In this long process, Dortmund cannot maintain stability and will be left behind sooner or later.

After analysis and analysis, the final conclusion is that Bayern Munich will continue to maintain a relatively large advantage in the league. If the other teams in the first group want to pose a certain threat to Bayern Munich in the league, they may not all be given up in the European war. . Although Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 have qualified for the Champions League this season, it may not be a good thing.

Because fighting on two fronts will greatly disperse their energy. Moreover, the Bundesliga teams, except for Bayern Munich, have no experience in two-line combat. In history, there are too many examples of other Bundesliga teams participating in the European war, and the domestic league is a mess.

The most recent example is last season's Hertha Berlin, the capital team participated in the Europa League last season. Into the knockout stage. As a result, in the league, Hertha Berlin ranked last and was relegated!

Therefore, Dortmund's performance in the Champions League is also likely to drag down their performance in the league. In the end, it led to nothing this season.

As a professional magazine with a high reputation in Germany, the analysis article of "Kicker" was quickly reprinted by the Chinese media.

After reprinting. There was a big debate on the Internet.

There are quite a few people who support "Kicker" and Zhouyi.

Those who support "Kicker" believe that blind optimism should not be blindly optimistic. Blind optimism is harming Zhou Yi, and they honestly admit their own shortcomings. And improve it, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Those who support Zhouyi think that "Kicker" is purely black for black. There is no basis for it. Everyone saw Zhou Yi's performance in the warm-up match. If you perform well in the game, you can say that the intensity of the warm-up match is not enough, and it is not as good as the official game with real knives and guns. If the performance in the warm-up match is not good. Why not say that it is to save strength for the official competition?

This is simply a double standard. It must be Zhou Yi's outstanding performance that made some people uncomfortable.

The two sides quarreled upside down on the Internet in China. At that time, Weibo was launched just before the World Cup, and it was well known for using the World Cup. And this battle happened to break out on Weibo. The Weibo official is fueling the flames behind the scenes, it is a hot topic, and it is officially promoted...

Let more people know about this debate. It also took the opportunity to heat up the atmosphere on Weibo, attracting a large number of new users to enter.

For Weibo, this is a successful marketing case.

A reporter told Zhou Yi about the quarrel among domestic fans because of the "Kicker" season preview. Zhou Yi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect it.

"Can this also make a noise?" He asked the reporter in surprise.

"Well, those fans who speak for you are defined as your 'brain fans'." The reporter said.

Hearing this word, Zhou Yi laughed, and he laughed happily: "That's not bad! I also have brain-dead fans! It's good, thank you."

The reporter felt that Zhou Yi's focus seemed wrong, so he quickly reminded him: "Then what do you think about the analysis of "Kicker"?"

"This...analysis, it's the same as a stock review, just listen to it, ha!" Zhou Yi laughed, with a tone of complete indifference.

"That is to say, you think the analysis of "Kicker" is wrong?" The reporter tried to persuade.

"You can't say that." Zhou Yi was not fooled. "Their arguments are valid. But the arguments are wrong, so it doesn't matter how correct the arguments are, right?"

He asked the reporter back, and the reporter didn't know how to answer... As expected of a passer, he completed a beautiful pass in the blink of an eye.

"So you're still pretty confident?" another reporter asked.

Zhou Yi nodded without hesitation this time: "Yes. Why should I have no confidence in myself?"

It was another beautiful rhetorical pass, and the reporter was speechless.

Zhou Yi asked the reporters with a smile on his face: "Any questions?"

"..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one asked any more questions.

Zhouyi's rhetorical question has directly killed all the topics, so what else is there to ask?

"Then goodbye, everyone." Seeing that no one asked questions, Zhou Yi waved to everyone politely, and then left.

Seeing Zhou Yi's back getting farther and farther away, a group of Chinese reporters gathered together, still looking at each other, not knowing how to evaluate this matter and this person.

Zhou Yi's last sentence is actually quite reasonable-if Zhou Yi didn't have confidence in himself, he wouldn't be able to achieve the same performance in Dortmund last season.

It's just that this kind of self-confidence that is somewhat righteous and confident gives people the impression of "not being humble enough". China, on the other hand, pays great attention to personal cultivation, and humility is an important part of personal cultivation.

It would be wrong to say that Zhou Yi is rude and uneducated. He has always been very patient with reporters and fans, and rarely puts on airs. He gives people the impression that he is a very easy-to-contact young man.

But only in football, he showed a completely different side.

It really makes people wonder how to face him...

※※※

After Zhou Yi's response was sent back to the country by the media, many reporters also had the same reaction on the Internet, that is, although Zhou Yi's words were true, wasn't that attitude a little too direct?

Would you die if you were a little more humble?

Of course, Zhou Yi's supporters are very happy - why don't people show their personality when they are young and famous?

Besides, our Zhou Yi has such strength, what's wrong with being immodest?

He doesn't need to consider other people's feelings, especially those who hate him!

To be arrogant is to have no strength, and to seek truth from facts is to have strength!

Do people still consider the mood of the weak to be honest?

But football is not a game to win by lip service after all, so in the end it still has to fall to the game itself.

No matter how beautiful the words are, if you can't win the game, then those words you said before will become a slap in the face.

This is football, in fact, there are not so many empty-headed things, the winner takes all, and the winner is king. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
