Chapter 35

When Zhou Yi opened his eyes, it was already a new day, and today was the day he played against Dortmund.

Last night he fought Dortmund all night, he slept for eight hours, and played eight games.

Maybe it was because I played with the La Masia Youth B team for a long time, and suddenly changed my opponent, and I was a little uncomfortable at first. But that was the reaction on the first day. Now Zhou Yi feels that this Dortmund youth team is really not as good as the La Masia youth team. The best player in their team is Mario Gotze, and everyone else is even worse than him a lot.

So it feels a little easier to compete.

At least, even Zhou Yi himself scored in the game.

After four days of repeated matches against Dortmund in his dream, Zhou Yi can be considered to have achieved the goal of "knowing the opponent".

The next step is to test his current level in actual combat.

Before logging out of the system, he specifically looked at his latest values.

The value of each attribute has increased. Among them, the short pass has improved the most, because now that he has switched to midfield, he is mainly practicing passing, especially the short and medium distance passing of five to fifteen meters. It has changed from the original twenty-two to the current sixty. This is the result of Zhou Yi spending a lot of effort on short pass training. The training effect is very significant.

The improvement of the short pass is also evident in the game of the virtual system. It is no longer like the first game against the La Masia Youth B team. First, there is no way to pass the football, and secondly, there is no way to pass the football accurately. Under his feet, he basically thought that the Chinese team's possession of the ball was over.

Getting up from the bed, Zhou Yi saw He Ying coming out of the bathroom with a towel on his head.

It is He Ying's habit to take a bath before going to bed and after waking up every day.

He Ying's expression covered by the towel was very serious and solemn. Today, bathing seems to be not just an act of cleaning the body, but a ritual for him.

It's like a warrior, about to set foot on the ceremony before the battlefield. Wash your body clean, then go into battle to kill the enemy, and finally die on the battlefield.

He Ying does have such a decisive mentality.

In this game, he didn't expect the Chinese team to win. Even if Dortmund's youth team is the weakest team they have encountered so far, it is still better than the Chinese teenagers.

But he still hopes that he can score goals in the game. This is not to prove his ability, but to give Chinese football a face.

The program team never revealed to them what their actions in Europe had caused domestic repercussions.

But He Ying has his own channel, and he knows the domestic reaction.

Many people have called their trip to Europe the "Travel of Shame", and their team is also known as the "Team of Shame". He admits he hasn't played well enough to deserve his supporters, but he won't give up.

If no one helps you, then work hard on your own, and fight to the last moment like a real fighter.

Zhou Yi noticed the subtle changes in He Ying's body. Although he still didn't know the reasons for the changes, he could tell that He Ying today was different from He Ying in the past, but also different from He Ying in a certain period. He Ying is the same - the same as He Ying every game day.

He was able to guess something from this regular change.

Either He Ying was nervous, or she cared too much about the game.

Zhou Yi wondered if he should comfort him, just like he did after losing to the La Masia Youth B team.

So he said to He Ying: "He Ying, I think you can definitely score today."

He Ying raised his head and looked at Zhou Yi: "Why?"

"I dreamed that you scored a goal."

Even if it's an iceberg,

At this time, he was also amused by Zhou Yi's serious nonsense, and He Ying couldn't help grinning.

"Thank you." He said perfunctorily, taking this as Zhou Yi's usual nonsense.

"Hey, I'm serious." Seeing He Ying's disbelief, Zhou Yi explained.

"Don't you know that dreams are always reversed?" He Ying sneered, and wiped her wet hair with a bath towel.

Zhou Yi was speechless - He Ying's words made him completely at a loss as to how to refute...

He couldn't tell He Ying: My dream is different from yours. There is a system called FIFAOL in my dream. In the system, we have played 32 games against Dortmund. You scored sixteen goals in one game, and I scored seven goals. This is a reflection of the real world, not a daydream!

In that case, He Ying might not even be in the mood to say "thank you" perfunctorily, and would just treat him as crazy.

The match between the Chinese teenagers and the Dortmund youth team was in the afternoon, and the venue was in their training base. Although it was not deliberately closed, the youth team's training ground was rarely visited by fans, and there were not many reporters. There, so in fact it is almost closed.

After eating at noon, after an hour's lunch break, all the teenagers gathered and took a bus to Dortmund's training base in the Brakel area.

Waiting for them there are the club's chairman, Mr. Raubal, and the director of youth training, Rickon.

The chairman of the club personally came to pick them up, which is the highest treatment that Chinese teenagers have received along the way. Real Madrid, a club that values ​​​​the Asian market, is nothing more than a vice chairman.

The white-haired Mr. Raubal warmly welcomed the young players and introduced Ricken, the director of youth training, to them: "This is our Dortmund hero Lars Ricken."

In the 1997 UEFA Champions League final, Dortmund and Juventus, a giant from Italy, were fighting fiercely. Borussia Dortmund coach Hitzfeld pushed a youngster to the sidelines.

The young man got a chance to counterattack as soon as he came on the field. He dribbled the ball through the midfield. There were no defenders in front of him to block, only the Italian goalkeeper Peruzzi.

Everyone is looking forward to the one-on-one duel between him and Peruzzi in the penalty area. If he can hit the ball in, it will completely seal the victory.

The young man lived up to the expectations. Facing the attacking Peruzzi, he chose a calm lob shot. The football drew a wonderful arc in the air, passed the top of Peruzzi's head, and flew into the goal!

This ball completely sealed the victory, allowing Dortmund to win the first European championship trophy in their club history, and also the only one.

The hero who helped the team lock the championship is Lars Ricken.

He was only twenty-one at the time.

Now standing in front of the Chinese teenagers, Ricken still maintains the lean body of the athlete, but the wrinkles on his face have increased significantly, which is completely different from the young man who beat Juventus in the Champions League final.

When he smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more intense.

"That was all eleven years ago." Rickon laughed. "Now I am the youth training director of Dortmund, but I have not retired and I am playing in the second team. So, welcome to Dortmund!"

Like the previous five clubs, as usual, they first visited the club's youth training camp under the leadership of the youth training director.

When Ricken introduced Dortmund's youth training, his tone was always proud.

He also has the confidence to be proud.

Although the performance of the first team in Dortmund in recent seasons has not been very good, last season it was finally ranked 13th, reaching a rare trough.

But their youth training level has always been very high. For example, Rickon himself was trained by Dortmund. There is also the midfield genius Nuri Shaheen, who was loaned to Feyenoord in the Eredivisie last season and performed well and helped the team win the Dutch Cup. He was also trained by Dortmund's own youth training system.

"Of course, our best youth training talent is this—" Rickon said proudly, pointing to a photo on the wall.

Zhou Yi looked over with the others, and he recognized the person in the photo at a glance.

Mario Gotze.

He thought to himself.

"Mario Gotze!" Rickon repeated the man's name. "He is the latest achievement of our youth training." Seeing that the Chinese teenagers are indifferent to this name, Ricken said: "Maybe you are still a little unfamiliar with him now, but you will see him in the game soon."

Zhou Yi said in his heart: I am no stranger at all...

Yes, thanks to the virtual system, Zhou Yi has fought Goetze thirty-two times. No matter how wrong they are, there will still be a head-to-head contest in the game. Sometimes it is Zhou Yi who defends Goetze, and sometimes it is Goetze. Gotze defended Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi found that this kid was similar to himself and was not good at defense, so when he was defending against Getze, Getze could easily pass him, and when Getze was defending him, he could also find confidence in him.

In this way, Zhou Yi became familiar with Getze a little bit in the process of fighting each other with him, and even had a little affection for him.

Gotze, who has a baby face, also looks more pleasing.

After visiting Dortmund's youth academy, the players came to the players' lounge to prepare for changing clothes.

Zhou Yi actively changed his jersey, and Liang Qiqi, who saw all this in his eyes, snorted. In his opinion, Zhou Yi is just like a little kid who got a beloved gift and got carried away.

He may think that being able to play in the game is a gift, but Liang Qiqi firmly believes that Zhou Yi will soon find out that he has made a big mistake!

Lost five games in a row, and all of them were big losses. This made the head coach Hao Dong have nothing to say before the game.

Continue to boost the morale of the team?

The current situation is that even if he is eloquent, it will be difficult to boost the morale of these young players.

The huge gap between them and the top European youth training made everyone feel discouraged.

One game after another, knowing that they will lose the game, what is the need to work hard?

Can you win by working hard?

Will hard work pay off?

Chicken soup for the soul has always said so, but the cruel reality tells them that drinking too much chicken soup will cause indigestion.

Efforts can't make up for this gap like a moat!

Before the game, the atmosphere in the locker room was like after losing the game, silent and depressing.

Zhou Yi was not used to this atmosphere, he was writhing in his seat, as if he had ADHD.

Fortunately, at this time, Hao Dong spoke up, saving his embarrassment.

"In this game, the opponent is also very strong. As long as you show what you have in the usual training, it will be good. Remember, showing yourself as much as possible is the greatest victory."

Hao Dong has lowered his goal to such a level, which shows how bad the team's situation is now.

Do you try your best to show yourself?

Zhou Yi thought of the thirty-two games he played against the Dortmund youth team in the virtual system.

Perhaps more can be expected?

Now that you have the opportunity to play, don't let this opportunity be squandered easily.

Zhou Yi has his own ambitions.

What He Ying said is wrong, I am not the kind of person who laughs and laughs all day long and doesn't care about anything.

I also take football very seriously!
