Chapter 12 The 2nd Opponent
Although there is no Zhou Yi, Dortmund's players still firmly grasp the initiative on the court. E novelWw『W. ┡1XIAOSHUO. COM
It is not that easy for Hengyuan to turn over. The gap in strength between them and Dortmund is not just a matter of Zhou Yi.
In the end, Dortmund scored another goal and defeated Hengyuan 4:0.
This is the result of the contest between the Chinese champion and the German and European double champions, but it is not a real strength gap, because this is a business game, and the Dortmund players have not yet given their best. At least Zhou Yi has not played at full capacity. Ninety minutes, otherwise, the final score would definitely not be like this, and Hengyuan would concede more goals.
Those who are dissatisfied with Hengyuan are quite happy with this result - don't you claim to be the overlord of China? Was beaten back to its original shape by Dortmund!
After the game against Hengyuan, the entire Dortmund team left Guangzhou by plane and arrived in Shanghai the next day.
Here, they will play against a team from a Shanghai club. This team is not a veteran team in Shanghai, but a young team-Shanghai Chongming Team.
This team is a complete junior in Shanghai football. They were still in the Chinese League One last year, which is the second level league in China.
This year they are new players in the Chinese League.
As for why Dortmund’s opponent in Shanghai is such a team instead of the traditional Shanghai Shenhua. There are many rumors on the Internet, and some Shenhua fans are unhappy with Dortmund, thinking that Dortmund is discriminating against Shanghai football because they did not choose the Shenhua club that best represents the history of Shanghai football.
But the reason is actually very simple - people from Shanghai Chongming gave me money!
One will give money and the other will not give money, or one will give more money and the other will give less money. The Chinese organizer responsible for organizing the Dortmund China Tour will naturally choose the generous Shanghai Chongming.
It doesn't matter what other history, heritage, derby, grievances, etc., it's just a word.
What everyone has analyzed is useless. Can Dortmund understand Chinese football? Do they know the difference between Shanghai Chongming and Shanghai Shenhua? How could they possibly know which team represents Shanghai football?
For Zhouyi, the game against Shanghai Chongming is no different from the game against Shenhua. They are all games anyway.
He is a player, not a club owner, so naturally he cannot decide on this kind of business arrangement.

When Wu Lei passed behind Yan Min, his teammate in Chongming, he glanced at the iPad_mini he was holding and found that Yan Min was not playing games or watching American TV series, but watching... a football match!
Curiosity made him stop and lay down behind Yan Min to take a few more looks. The result surprised him even more.
"Hey, Yan Min, why are you watching the match between Dortmund and Hengyuan?" He patted Yan Min's shoulder curiously. "Didn't you watch the live broadcast at that time?"
Yan Min turned around and saw Wu Lei. He quickly took off his headphones and said, "I've seen it. I want to see more. I finally found the complete game video when I went up. What other highlights are there."
"Why are you looking at this thing?" Wu Lei couldn't understand.
"I want to study Dortmund's game." Yan Min replied.
"Why study their games?"
"I want to find a way to beat Dortmund."
Yan Min's words shocked everyone around him. After hearing the conversation between him and Wu Lei, other teammates gathered around him.
"Beat Dortmund?"
"Yan Min, you kid is daydreaming again!"
"Pfft, Yan Min, are you serious?"
Everyone laughed around him.
Wu Lei also felt that Yan Min's idea was too whimsical, but he did not tease Yan Min like other teammates. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Then I won't disturb you. Come on!"
After saying that, he left.
He is not interested in studying how to beat Dortmund. It is like a primary school student studying how to solve Goldbach's conjecture.
Besides, if you really want to study your opponents, that's what coaches do. As a player, you only need to implement the tactics arranged by the coach on the court.
Wu Lei left, and other teammates gathered around and continued to tease Yan Min.
"Hey, Yan Min, have you found a way?"
Yan Min shook his head seriously and replied: "Not yet."
Everyone laughed and laughed happily. Yan Min is the pistachio in the team because he often does some weird things that make everyone feel funny. Such as this time.
Someone also kindly reminded Yan Min not to waste time: "Don't look at it, Renhengyuan lost by 0:4, Dortmund hasn't exerted its full strength yet. The strength gap is too big, we want to win Dortmund? It's impossible La!"
Yan Min obviously didn't listen to these sounds. He put on his headphones again, not caring what other teammates thought, and continued to watch the game video.
Seeing that Yan Min was stubborn again, the other teammates knew that it was useless to persuade him, so they should let him continue to immerse himself in his own fantasy world.
So they all withdrew.

Dortmund's arrangements in Shanghai are also very tight. In addition to training, the team also needs to participate in some business activities, among which Zhou Yi is the most popular. I have to be brought to almost every press conference.
At the pre-match press conference, a Shanghai reporter asked Zhou Yi why he saw that Dortmund's opponent in Shanghai this time was Chongming, the Chinese New Army team, instead of the old Shanghai team Shenhua. Can Chongming not represent Shanghai football?
Zhou Yi shrugged: "You asked me this question to the wrong person. How do I know how they choose their opponents? Whether it is Chongming or Shenhua, they are both Shanghai teams. I don't think there is anyone who can represent and who cannot." question. As a player, I only care about the match against our opponent, but I don’t care who our opponent is."
He was smart enough not to get involved in Shencheng's football feud.
Of course, this matter really has nothing to do with him. What does the grievances and hatreds of Shanghai football have to do with an outsider like him?
His image and reputation among Chinese fans are excellent, and there is no need to trap himself just to satisfy some people's infighting complex.

On the eve of the competition, Yan Min finally put down the iPad_mini he had been holding in his hands for the past few days, frowning.
Seeing him like this, his teammate Wang, who lived in the same room with him, advised him to be more open-minded: "I just said, who are they? It's Dortmund! Where are the Champions League champions! Do we want to beat them? That's what a toad wants to eat. Swan meat! Stop trying to get into trouble. It’s also great to know yourself correctly..."
"I changed my goal." Yan Min said suddenly, leaving Wang a little confused.
"Change what? What goal?"
"It's really difficult to beat Dortmund..."
"It's simply impossible!"
"But we can score against them in the game. Hengyuan didn't even score. If we can score, wouldn't it be great?" Yan Min asked.
Wang originally wanted to persuade Yan Min to be more realistic out of habit, but when he opened his mouth and the words came to his lips, he realized that this goal was not an exaggeration!
It's impossible to defeat Dortmund, but scoring a goal against them in the game... If you say it's impossible, would you be looking down on yourself too much?
"Look, you agree with me!"
"This..." Wang actually wanted to say he disagreed, but he couldn't speak out of conscience.
"I think as long as we can score against them in the game, they will stop looking down on us!" Yan Min was very excited.
"Then why were you frowning just now?" Wang asked.
"Because even if you want to score, it's still difficult..." Yan Min sighed.
Wang smiled: "Isn't that normal? If we score casually, how can we become European champions? Well, don't think so much, there is still a game tomorrow, go to bed early."
Yan Min wanted to say something else, but when he saw that Wang had gone straight to the bathroom to wash up, he had no choice but to say no more.
Tomorrow's game...
When he thought of this, he clenched his fists.
He must give his best performance in tomorrow's game.
What he cares about is not the opponent Dortmund, but Zhou Yi - this is a rare opportunity for him to compete with Zhou Yi on the same field!
He has made great progress since leaving the reality show. He wants Zhou Yi to see his progress, and he also wants to see how far he is from Zhou Yi.
Although I watched a lot of games, I also trained with the national team. But nothing illustrates the problem better than a real game!
