Chapter 127 My Name Is "Not Nervous"

Although Zhou Yi tactfully refused to answer those annoying questions when he was at the airport, he did not escape the fate of facing these reporters.

Because of the pre-match press conference, Zhou Yi was named by Klopp to attend with him.

This time the reporters laughed when they saw Zhou Yi—there was a German translator on the scene, so you can't use "you don't understand" as an excuse to escape, right?

Looking at the "bad intentions" smiles of the reporters, Zhou Yi sat beside Klopp expressionlessly.

After the press conference began, the questions were all thrown to Klopp at the beginning. As the head coach who led Dortmund to participate in the Champions League for the first time after seven years, Klopp now has huge popularity among Dortmund fans. Everyone also wants to hear what he thinks about getting the team back to the Champions League.

"...I'm not very excited because compared to the excitement, the pressure in the Champions League is greater. We have to face a lot of difficulties. If these difficulties are not resolved, there is no point in returning to the Champions League. We are not here just to Brush up on your presence." Klopp faced reporters' questions in his usual style.

"That means you have more goals?"

"Who hasn't? Which teams come to the Champions League just to play six group games and go home?" Klopp seemed ambitious and confident.

This is not the same as their collective low-key before.

Maybe Klopp thinks that the game is about to start, and it's useless to keep a low profile, so he simply... See you with a dagger.

The reporters threw the question to Zhou Yi again, and the first Spanish reporter turned over the old account as soon as he came up: "Hi, Zhou Yi, there is an interpreter on site today."

There was a burst of laughter at the press conference, and Zhou Yi also laughed, and then said: "Actually, if you spoke English with a little more standard and less accent that day at the airport, it's not like I can't understand you." Prove that your English is okay.

There was another burst of laughter at the scene, this kind of non-aggressive mutual mockery. They're still happy to take it. Everyone is joking.

The joke is over. Questions are less friendly.

"Will you feel nervous when you participate in the Champions League for the first time?"

"No." Zhou Yi shook his head, and said firmly, "I'm called 'not nervous'. Being heartless has always been my strength."

"Then the first time in the Champions League.

Does it excite you? "

Zhou Yi shook his head again, and said in a very positive tone: "No. It's just a slightly more difficult game."

"How much do you know about the Valencia team?"

"I understand very well." Zhou Yi continued to speak in an unquestionable tone.

He was right. But he knows this team very well, because he has already played dozens of games against them in the virtual space... Anyone who has played thirty or forty games in a row with a team may not be enough to describe it. up. You have to say "vomit when you see them".

But the Spanish reporters didn't think so. They thought Zhou Yi was talking big. Even Klopp dare not say that he knows Valencia very well, right?

On the contrary, Zhou Yi's performance today gave the reporters a completely different feeling. At the airport, he used "I don't understand" as an excuse. Refusing to answer any questions, the media commented that he was a guilty conscience. But now. In press conferences, he was very tough, never using uncertain questions. Every sentence ends with an affirmative tone.

Appear confident.

This change is more interesting to journalists.

Are you really confident? Or pretend?

Connecting the attitude of the head coach Klopp makes the reporters even more imaginative.

Both the head coach and the players showed a confident attitude at the same time. Is it a little... too much effort?

※※※

In the hotel room at night, Zhou Yi learned from He Ying how the Spanish media commented on his performance at the press conference.

"They say you're pretending to be confident, but it just shows your inner weakness." After He Ying finished speaking, she also sent a smiley expression covering her mouth.

"Damn!" Zhou Yi rolled his eyes.

"They are right anyway, you can't justify the media, Zhou Yi." Yang Muge kindly comforted Zhou Yi in the group. "People rely on their mouths and pens to make a living."

"It's okay, we talk with our feet. Just kick!" Zhou Yi said.

"What? You want to kick someone's crotch? Zhou Yi, you are such a person!" Sun Pan made a shocked expression.

"Get lost!" Zhou Yi replied. "What are you thinking!"

"That's right, Sun Pan, don't talk nonsense, Zhou Yi is not like that..." Yang Muge also defended Zhou Yi.

He had just sent out the words when he saw Zhou Yi's next chat content on the screen: "Of course it was kicking the crotch with our feet! We are football players, so it's too untechnical to just kick the crotch with our feet, okay! "

Yang Muge: "..."

Guo Nu: "233333333" and an expression of pounding the ground.

He Ying: "Pfft!"

Sun Pan laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Lao Yang, you should never underestimate the lower limit of this kid!"

"Well, I really still can't see through Zhou Yi..." Yang Muge said, and then sent a crying emoji.

Sun Pan comforted his roommate: "Don't cry Lao Yang, you can't see through it means your heart is still pure, and you haven't been defiled by Zhou Yi, the Lich King! This is a good thing..."

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes.

Although chatting with everyone in the group was very "happy", Zhou Yi still said goodbye to everyone in the group on time, and then went offline to sleep.

There is a game tomorrow, rest is very important.

After going to bed, Zhou Yi quickly entered... the virtual world of FIFAOL3.

In this virtual world, Zhou Yi first had a contest with tomorrow's opponent, Valencia.

Valencia's starting lineup for this game is goalkeeper Cesar Sanchez. The four defenders are Ricardo Costa, Jeremy Mathieu, David Navarro and Bruno Sarto. The four midfielders are Alberto Costa, Pablo Hernandez, Joaquin and Alberta. The two forwards are Mata and Soldado.

In today's pre-match press conference, Valencia coach Unai Emery did not announce the starting lineup, and of course Klopp did not announce it, which is the same for everyone.

However, Zhou Yi seems to have known the opponent's starting lineup in advance.

It is estimated that it is almost the same as what he sees now. Because the system selects the opponent's starting lineup based on the performance of these players in the last few games to judge their status, so as to determine who can start and who cannot start.

Under such circumstances, unless the opposing head coach insists on taking an unusual path before the game, by substituting players in good condition and starting players in poor condition, then the starting lineup predicted by the system will be completely reversed.

That's why Zhou Yi dared to say at the pre-match press conference that he knew Valencia very well.

It's just his confidence. Because the source is unknown. It was directly regarded as a bluff by Spanish reporters.

Zhou Yi is really wronged...

In the virtual world, Zhou Yi has played against Valencia many times, and there is nothing new about it.

Before the first match, he also carefully browsed the values ​​​​of every Valencia player. Use their data to infer their technical characteristics and styles.

Now you can start the game directly.

In the dozens of games against Valencia, Dortmund has won and lost with each other. In general, Valencia has a higher winning rate, after all, this is their home court.

There is a problem with realistic simulation of virtual systems. That is, it is impossible to perfectly simulate the ups and downs of morale in the game, and some rely too much on data for analysis. If the opponent's value is higher than yours at that time. Then his success rate is higher.

There are many surprises in the game, which is not reflected enough in the virtual system.

But for Zhou Yi, it was enough. Wouldn't football lose all its fun if virtual games could be exactly like real ones?

I have been using this system for more than two years. He believes that what he needs is not a perfect simulation of reality, what he needs is just a platform that allows him to increase his game experience.

In this regard, the virtual system does a good job.

First game tonight. Dortmund eventually drew 2:2 with Valencia.

Dortmund got off to a good start, they took advantage of a series of ferocious attacks in the first 12 minutes, causing Valencia's centre-back Mathieu to accidentally block the ball into his own goal, Dortmund took advantage of the own goal 1-0 leading.

Next, in the 18th minute, Zhou Yi sent an assist, and Barrios grabbed a point in front of the goal and shot the football into the goal. Dortmund lead by two goals.

This is off to a great start.

Subsequently, Zhou Yi tried to control the rhythm of the game on Dortmund's side, which was fine at first. But as the game progressed, it became more and more difficult to do so.

Because Valencia launched a fierce counterattack.

In addition, this is their home field, which has an advantage in the success judgment mechanism of some probability.

So gradually, the situation turned towards Valencia.

After the start of the second half, in the 47th minute, Valencia's midfielder Hernandez scored a goal for the team.

Then, in the 68th minute, Albelda equalized.

Valencia, who equalized the score, continued to strengthen their offense, and their overall position was also higher. The success rate of Valencia players in the system judgment also increased a little.

All this has put pressure on Zhou Yi, because as the core of the team's midfield, he will encounter the opponent's key marking in the game.

In the end, to be able to end the game with a score of 2:2, Zhou Yi had exhausted all his strength.

Although it is impossible to perfectly simulate a real game, Zhou Yi has enough experience of the level of the Champions League through such a game.

This is of great benefit to him.

Because when people analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Dortmund team, they will mention their lack of experience. It was an irrefutable attempt for a team seven seasons away from the Champions League, many of whom had no Champions League experience.

Neither did manager Klopp.

As the core of the team, Zhou Yi is naturally gone.

But this is an inference made under normal circumstances, and Zhou Yi is not a person who can use normal conditions to judge.

In terms of experience in the Champions League, he may have had 40 games now...Of course, it's all experience with the same opponent.

But at least Zhou Yi has seen what the Champions League is like.

This is very important.

He will not be caught off guard by the fast-paced Champions League when it comes to tomorrow's real game.

After the game was over, Zhou Yi started his own training in the system.

On the eve of the game, he did not forget to improve his strength. What a dedicated player he is!

It’s just that the training method to increase strength is not good for positive publicity. Others train so hard that they want to pass out on the training ground, but Zhou Yi sleeps on the soft Simmons bed... (To be continued.) Launch a new website
