Chapter 62 Stay

The interaction between Zhou Yi and Sun Pan on Weibo attracted the attention of countless netizens. Their Weibo posts were forwarded nearly 100,000 times, and were reported in newspapers and websites, and were reported as news by media reporters. The impact further increased.

But there are also careful people who discovered a problem - in this incident where almost all the five little dragons appeared, only one figure, He, was missing.

Does He Ying not have a Weibo account?

Of course there is. When Zhou Yi came out to scold the public, some enthusiastic fans were curious about which players had registered on Weibo, so they launched an online survey. At that time, everyone knew that He Ying had a registered Weibo account and had passed the officially recognized real-name authentication.

His Weibo ID is called [He Ying]. He registered very early, but has not used it much. From the time he registered during the 2010 World Cup to now, he has only posted five Weibo posts in total. He remembered to post one after a few months. , they are all reposts, nothing original.

But at least it shows that Weibo is useful.

When the Olympic team players came out to party this time, He Ying disappeared.

What is he doing?

He is discussing his future with his agent Zhang Qiang.

Unlike Zhou Yi, whose agent is a foreigner, He Ying was originally the earliest famous person among the Five Little Dragons. He was selected into the national teams at all levels very early and has always been the focus of the club's training. Naturally, he has always had an agent.

Zhang Qiang is a well-known domestic football agent and one of the first Chinese agents to obtain a FIFA agent license. Unlike those pheasant agents in China, he is a serious agent who can handle international transfers. He handled all the transfer matters for He Ying to Barcelona.

He Ying has worked with him for many years and has always had a good relationship. He always listens to him. He will go to Zhang Qiang to discuss any problems. He has great trust in Zhang Qiang.

But this time, Zhang Qiang's opinions conflicted with Zhou Yi's, which made He Ying very hesitant.

"I don't recommend that you transfer and leave Barcelona, ​​Xiaoying." Zhang Qiang crossed his arms and shook his head. "Why did you choose to rent out last season? Isn't it just to prove your ability to the Barcelona first team? Now that the Barcelona first team has moved you up, your purpose has been achieved, why do you still want to leave? You are in Valladoli Germany's performance was your stepping stone to enter Camp Nou, and now you tell me that you are leaving after knocking on the door of Camp Nou? Then why were you loaned out in the first place?"

Under Zhang Qiang’s series of rhetorical questions,

He Ying lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.

Yes, Zhang Qiang is right. He originally sought a loan in order to be able to play in games, to improve himself, and to be able to enter the first team with dignity when he returned to Barcelona...

"I know that the competition in Barcelona's first team is fierce, but He Ying, isn't it normal to be fiercely competitive? This is Barcelona! Who can play here who is an ordinary person? This is not Valladolid. , you can play as the main force when you go there. If you want to be the main force here, you should show your best form. Don’t be afraid of any opponent. You are the top scorer in the Olympics! You have this strength. The key is not to Cowardice before fighting. If you leave Barcelona now, wouldn't you become a deserter? Do you want to be called a coward who is afraid of competition, Xiaoying?"

Zhang Qiang's voice seemed to have a magical power that could infect and inspire people. When he asked, He Ying shook her head: "No."

"That's right." Zhang Qiang spread his hands. "If you want to be a successful professional player and a superstar, you can't be afraid of any competition. The opponents are very strong, so you have to be stronger. It's not a big deal, stay in Barcelona, ​​compete with them, fight with them, I Believe in your ability, Xiaoying. But the most important thing is that you must also believe in yourself! With your ability, you can definitely occupy a place in Barcelona!"

After Zhou Yi returned to Dortmund from London, head coach Klopp was a little worried about his condition. After all, he had missed Dortmund's pre-season training due to participating in the Olympics.

As the core of the team, he did not participate in the team's pre-season training at all, which is very detrimental to Dortmund's preparations.

In addition, he participated in six high-intensity games at a stage when he should have been adjusting his physical condition, which will definitely have a great impact on his physical fitness.

After returning to Dortmund, Zhou Yi underwent a comprehensive physical examination. His body was indeed a little tired, confirming Klopp's concerns.

Regarding Zhou Yi's health, Klopp and the coaching staff finally made the decision after some discussions to allow Zhou Yi to conduct restorative training and not to consider any tactical training with the whole team for the time being.

They made a trade-off.

There is nothing that can be done about this. If Zhou Yi does not have a good physical foundation, problems will occur sooner or later in the long season.

But what Klopp doesn't know is that this will not actually affect Zhou Yi's cooperation with the team, because he can also train with his teammates in the virtual space. From the night after the Olympics, he Already training with teammates from the club. Moreover, in the virtual space, he can use every hour as a day, so in fact, he does not miss anything at all.

After the Olympics, Zhou Yi returned to Dortmund. In addition to training, he also had to face various transfer rumors.

He once said before the Olympics that he would wait until after the Olympics to talk about anything. So now that the Olympics are over, he should be able to talk about his future, right?

So after returning to Dortmund, Zhou Yi attended a regular mid-week press conference. At the meeting, reporters were most concerned about Zhou Yi's whereabouts.

Facing Chinese and foreign reporters, Zhou Yi made it clear that he will not leave Dortmund this summer.

"...I am very happy living in Dortmund. Everyone here is very friendly and kind to me. I have adapted to the living climate and food here. Dortmund has always been a great team, and I have excellent teammates and coaches... I can't find a reason to leave here. So all the rumors about my transfer are not true."

He said so.

A reporter asked: "What about the future? Will you consider leaving in the future?"

Zhou Yi shrugged: "I'm only twenty-one years old, and the future is still very long. I'm not a prophet. I don't know what the future will be like. I think now I just need to be good at the moment."

He did not express his loyalty and said that he would retire in Dortmund, nor did he say that he would definitely leave. This was a very smart answer. No one would criticize Zhou Yi for being ambiguous on this issue, and no Dortmund fans would think that Zhou Yi's answer offended them.

Anyway, the matter has just settled. After a summer of transfer rumors, Zhou Yi once again stayed in Dortmund. However, I believe that speculation about when he will leave Dortmund will continue until the day Zhou Yi finally leaves Dortmund - anyway, except for Dortmund fans, no one really believes that Zhou Yi will play in Dortmund until he retires. In terms of his strength and future development prospects, it would be a bit boring if his entire career was handed over to Dortmund...

The news that Zhou Yi was determined to stay in Dortmund made Dortmund fans very happy. This summer, they reluctantly bid farewell to Shinji Kagawa. What they were most worried about was that Zhou Yi, a friend of Shinji Kagawa, would follow him. Regarding the contract renewal between the club and Shinji Kagawa, many Dortmund fans also feel that the club has gone too far, but they are Dortmund fans after all, not fans of Shinji Kagawa, and they will still consider the issue from the club's standpoint.

Shinji Kagawa is free to transfer and leave. No one will blame him, but they will not wish Dortmund bad luck because of this...

Zhou Yi's decision to stay is tantamount to keeping Dortmund's backbone. Dortmund fans believe that as long as Zhou Yi is there, there will be no big problem.

After this press conference, major sports media in Europe prominently published the news about Zhou Yi's announcement and accompanied it with Zhou Yi's photo.

Germany's "Kicker" magazine commented that Zhou Yi's decision is equivalent to giving Dortmund a blockbuster signing this summer.

Of course, there are also media conspiracy theories that Zhou Yi's attitude may not be as firm as he is when facing the media. If the decision had been made long ago, why not announce it before the Olympics and delay it until after the Olympics?

But this conspiracy theory has little market, because no matter what Zhou Yi's attitude is, the result that he finally stayed in Dortmund is enough.

As for whether he is resolute and whether he will leave in the future, it doesn't matter now.

Dortmund fans can now put their hearts in their stomachs and look forward to the new season. But first, it depends on how Zhou Yi recovers from rest. After all, he played in the Olympics. (To be continued.)
