Chapter 62 The Controversy Subsides

The next day, the most eye-catching scene in the Chinese media was of course the image of Zhou Yi holding the European Super Cup and celebrating with his teammates.

Zhou Yi defeated Sun Pan and won the European Super Cup, which is what the Chinese media and fans are most concerned about.

This is also something that the European media is concerned about, so there are many related reports in the European media.

However, the Chinese media still pay more attention to it than their European counterparts.

"...Zhou Yi was in a good mood after winning the game. He even became very poetic at the scene and wrote a poem for us to explain why he always scored goals against Sun Pan..."

"If the sky has feelings, the sky will also grow old. If you see Panpan, you will give a kick; thousands of rivers and mountains are always in love, just shoot when you see Panpan. Alone in a foreign land, you are a stranger. When you meet Panpan, just shoot. In the ten years of life and death, the world is full of waves and background. Wall. Panpan is speechless, only a thousand lines of tears..."

"Sun Pan refused to comment on Zhou Yi's 'poetry'. But then the reporter found that he posted a selfie of himself with his middle finger raised on Weibo, and then criticized Zhou Yi. I thought it must be his response to this... "

At the same time, on the Internet, Zhouyi's limericks also aroused the creative enthusiasm of the majority of netizens. For a time, a large number of "poems" about Sun Pan appeared on the Internet.

For example:

If you don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, Panpan will be the backdrop.

The road through Xiongguan is as solid as iron, and Panpan's face is filled with blood.

My talents are destined to be useful, so I asked Panpan whether he was successful or not.

The butterflies dance all the time, and Panpan feels miserable in her heart.

It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, but Panpan means you're having fun.

There is no grass anywhere in the world, how about one more shot?

It looks like a ridge from the side and a peak from the side, and when I meet Pan Pan Meng Yi Meng.

The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and there are two lines of tears in the background.

…

Of course, normal people actually know that this is a joke, and no one will deny Sun Pan's goalkeeping ability because of this. He is still a top goalkeeper in Europe, and his performance in the European Super Cup also won praise from almost everyone. There were two goals conceded, but if it hadn't been for him, Chelsea would have never been able to drag the game into overtime.

No matter what Mourinho thinks, everyone feels that this game fully demonstrates that Chelsea, which has just welcomed Mourinho back, is not strong enough to challenge the European champions head-on. The creativity and momentum shown by Dortmund in the offense in this game made Chelsea have to rely on Sun Pan to support them in the game.

Counting how many key saves Sun Pan made in the game, you will know how powerful he is and how difficult it is.

Zhou Yi did it out of a joke between him and Sun Pan's friends. If someone really believed it and thought Sun Pan was nothing more than this, they would probably be regarded as a fool...

In fact, after teasing Sun Pan, Zhou Yi also praised Sun Pan on Weibo, mainly for those who may misunderstand: "Don't get me wrong, what I mean is: if a goalkeeper allows you to only If he can score by relying on world waves and lucky balls, then he is invincible. Panpan pushed us so miserably in the game that we were pushed to the edge of the cliff, so after winning the game, I felt that only writing a poem would be enough. I express my respect for him!"

He posted this Weibo because he was afraid that someone would interpret the joke between him and Sun Pan in other ways. Although Sun Pan didn't think much of it, they were used to being so quarrelsome with each other. But it can’t stand up to the criticism from public opinion.

Therefore, Zhou Yi also needs to explain a special sentence.

To prevent some people with ulterior motives from exaggerating this matter.

After the game, the British media did not criticize Sun Pan for conceding the ball at the last minute. On the contrary, many media openly cheered for Sun Pan, believing that Sun Pan's performance in this game was enough to silence those who had previously questioned that he should not squeeze out Cech's main position.

Even if Sun Pan's strength is comparable to Cech, he is younger and has a more promising future, so he should be given a chance.

Although Cech has been guarding the goal for Chelsea for many years and has always performed well, he is getting older and handing over to younger players is also the normal metabolism of the team. This kind of thing happens a lot in other positions. There is no need for the same thing to happen in the goalkeeper position. I can't accept it...

Cech certainly deserves respect, but so does Sun Pan.

After the game, Mourinho also talked about the issue of Sun Pan and Cech - in fact, this issue has always been quite controversial in England.

"We have two extremely good goalkeepers now and I think that's our blessing, not our trouble."

Although he did not clearly express his support for who will start, judging from Sun Pan's several amazing performances in this Super Cup, since Sun Pan is now the starter, it will be difficult for him to return to the bench unless he makes a big mistake. Go up. The position of goalkeeper is about stability. It is not a good thing to change it casually.

When he was coaching Real Madrid last season, he dared to put Casillas, the symbol of Real Madrid, on the bench. Now that he has returned to Chelsea, he wants to put another star player on the bench. Too difficult a decision to make.

Cech has played for the team for many years, but now Sun Pan has been pushed to the bench after returning, which makes many Chelsea fans very dissatisfied. For them, although Sun Pan is also a Chelsea player, he has been on loan for many years and has never played for Chelsea's first team. They feel that Sun Pan is similar to a player who joined this summer. Emotionally speaking, of course they will be more inclined to Cech.

Especially after some media broke the news that one of the conditions for Sun Pan to agree to stay at Chelsea was to make himself the main player and ensure his main position. This somewhat makes people feel that he is threatening the club and targeting Cech. The dissatisfaction with Sun Pan is even worse. Some Chelsea fans even said that if Sun Pan wants to leave, let him go. They don't need a "professional player" who has no feelings for the club.

So Sun Pan has always been under tremendous pressure.

It's just that Sun Pan has never been afraid of pressure, and he is actually very excited about the criticism. In addition, the news that Zhou Yi may win the award has been abuzz for more than two weeks, attracting the attention of the vast majority of Chinese fans, so everyone does not pay enough attention to Sun Pan's affairs at Chelsea.

Now in the Super Cup, Sun Pan has regained everyone's attention. Chinese fans have just realized how much pressure Sun Pan has been under in the past period of time. At the same time, I have to admire Sun Pan for being able to produce such an outstanding and stable performance under such overall pressure, which shows how strong his ability to withstand pressure is. Only a goalkeeper with this kind of psychological quality can make people trust him to guard the country.

After the Super Cup, Cech also stood up for an interview and defended Sun Pan: "To be honest, those two goals conceded were not his responsibility. On the contrary, the saves he made in the game are more important. When standing on the In front of the Chelsea goal, when facing such a fierce offensive from Dortmund, no one can do better than him. There is no problem between me and Sun Pan. No matter who is guarding the goal, I hope the team can win."

This also fully reflects the demeanor of Cech, a veteran, and gives those who plan to continue attacking Sun Pan no excuse - there is no conflict between the players themselves, so why are you outsiders getting involved? Are you trying to sow discord?

A Super Cup relieved the pressure on Sun Pan and settled the question of who should start between him and Cech...or at least for the time being.

After the Super Cup, European leagues were temporarily suspended to make way for national team matchdays.

And Zhou Yi will also return to China with Yan Min to prepare for two warm-up matches.

His parents, after coming to Prague to watch the game, would go directly back to Dortmund to wait for him. The Dortmund club assured Zhou Yi that they will definitely arrange the life of the two elders in Dortmund. Not only will the transportation problems be solved, but also a Chinese translator will be hired to help the elders live in Dortmund. This translator is not just a language translator, but also a Chinese translator. Like a life assistant, they are with you 24 hours a day. If you need anything, you can call them directly to help them solve all the problems they encounter in Dortmund. From picking up the airport, everything in life will be solved for Zhou Yi’s parents. . Picking up and delivering cars, shopping in supermarkets, dealing with people... it's all done.

It is guaranteed that Zhou Yi's parents will not feel uncomfortable living in Dortmund, a place they are unfamiliar with.

The club works so hard to serve Zhou Yi's parents, of course because Zhou Yi is worthy of them. If it weren't for Zhou Yi, would Dortmund have won the European Super Cup just now?

Therefore, Dortmund is eager to help Zhou Yi solve some difficulties. If doing such a simple thing can increase Zhou Yi's favorability towards the Dortmund club and make a small contribution to his consideration of whether to leave or stay in the future, then the Dortmund club will definitely be very, very happy to do this kind of thing.

In Europe, the World Cup qualifying group stage competition has reached its final moments. Except for those teams that have already qualified in advance, other teams that are hopeful of qualifying need to make a last ditch effort for their fate.

In Asia, the top ten stages of the World Cup qualifying rounds have ended, and the only thing left is the play-offs. But this has nothing to do with the Chinese team. The Chinese team has already qualified for the World Cup ahead of schedule.

They were first in the group, and the Japanese team was second in the group, and also qualified for the World Cup in Brazil. Australia, third in the group, will have to compete with Uzbekistan, third in Group A, for a qualification to qualify for the PK World Cup with fifth-place South America in the next two national team match days.

Of course, this does not mean that the Chinese team is relaxed.

The World Cup qualifiers are over, but that is just the first step in a long journey, and it does not mean that the team can rest on its laurels and sleep.

The Chinese national team will have two warm-up matches on September 6th and 10th. This is also the first real gathering of the team after winning the right to qualify for the World Cup - in July, although the Chinese team participated East Asian Cup, but the Chinese team mainly consisted of domestic players and did not recruit any overseas players. Everyone can see that that Chinese team is not the Chinese team that will participate in the World Cup in Brazil a year later.

At that time, some Chinese fans lamented that today's national football team can actually send second-tier teams to participate in the East Asian Cup like Japan and South Korea.

You must know that the East Asian Cup used to be an important competition for the Chinese team. Every time, the national team attached great importance to it, as did the fans and the media.

Now, the East Asian Cup has become a stage for the Chinese team to train and find new players...

Having obtained the right to qualify for the World Cup, the next step is of course to prepare for the World Cup, find warm-up opponents, and formulate targeted warm-up matches and training plans. These tasks are not easy for the Chinese team's coaching staff and the Chinese Football Association.

As for the Chinese players, except for a few, who can go to Brazil depends on their performance in the national team training and warm-up matches. In order to compete for the few places, everyone must keep their spirits up and not just mess around just because it is a warm-up match.

In today's national team, there is no need to talk about qualifications.
