Champion’s Heart

Chapter 282 The smell of gunpowder

The match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund is over, but things about this game are not yet over.

There are really too many topics for everyone to talk about in this game.

In addition to the competition for the league championship, Zhouyi's hat trick is naturally one of them.

After the game, Zhou Yi was called to the mixed area for an interview.

He was asked a lot of questions, about the hat-trick and the proposal.

Is this my first hat trick? Zhou Yi pretended to be surprised after hearing the reporter's question. I had a hat-trick when I was in the youth team.

But that's not the first one in my career... the reporter explained.

Oh, but it doesn't matter. This shows that I am not incapable of completing the hat trick, I just don't want to. It was not necessary before, so I have no obsession with the hat trick. Zhou Yi spread his hands and explained.

Reporters were very curious about what Zhou Yi said.

What does there was no need before mean? Is it necessary now?

Zhou Yi continued to explain: Cortana and I have an agreement. Unless I score a hat trick in an official game, I cannot propose to her.

When the reporters heard this explanation, they all became excited - before, they were thinking about how to ask such a personal question as a public proposal, but they didn't expect Zhou Yi to tell it himself.

Is there still this agreement?

Of course. Zhou Yi nodded. He didn't think this was a private topic that couldn't be discussed, so he admitted it generously. When proposing, of course you have to be sincere. For players, I think a hat trick should be a sign of sincerity.

Everyone looked at each other, and this explained why Zhou Yi ran all the way to Cortana to propose to him after completing the hat trick...

The hat-trick was for a marriage proposal. Thinking about it this way, it seems that defeating Bayern Munich has become a side event... I wonder if Bayern Munich fans will be even more angry after hearing this explanation...

Now that the topic of privacy is over, a reporter brought the question back and asked Zhou Yi whether the victory in this game means that Dortmund will win the league championship this season.

Of course Zhou Yi shook his head and denied it: This doesn't explain anything.

It's just one game. Even if we win against Bayern Munich, we are only one point ahead of them. There are still four rounds of the league left. Anything can happen in these four rounds of the league, so it is too early to say this... …”

What do you think about Bayern Munich's comeback for two consecutive seasons? So the reporters changed their explanation.

The game is not over yet. It can only be said that we are temporarily ahead. Of course, we will not think that we are sure to win just because we are temporarily ahead. But Zhou Yi's answer was accurate.

Compared with Zhou Yi's caution and tightness, other Dortmund players are much more optimistic.

Yan Min also accepted an interview after the game. He said that Dortmund's goal is the league championship: We are all ahead! How can we spit out the fat in our mouths again? Even if we are only one point ahead, we must maintain it until Season is over!”

Royce: Few people can achieve as much as we did in Munich today. Every player in our team gave their best performance today, both offensively and defensively. Indeed. , Bayern Munich has a high ball possession rate, which we knew before the game. Therefore, it is important for us to take the lead early, and the next game will be much more comfortable. The speed of Aubameyang and Yan Min today Helped us a lot, the two wins this week in the Champions League and the Bundesliga gave us great confidence. Zhou Yi, he is the biggest contributor to our ability to win. I am very happy when we lost two teammates last summer. , he can still stay to help us tide over the difficulties...

The Bayern Munich players who lost also accepted interviews after the game. Gotze, who was active in this game, was named Bayern Munich's best player by the media after the game. He talked about the loss during the interview. As a result, his expression was painful: We worked very hard and wanted to win the game at home, but we didn't win...

A reporter asked: What are the reasons that led to not winning?

Gotze shook his head and said without even thinking: I don't know. I know we didn't win, which is disappointing...

It can be seen that Gotze is indeed disappointed and in pain. He was absent-minded during the interview.

Reporters looked at Gotze's mental state and did not continue to torture him with questions, even though they actually still had many questions to ask, such as You transferred from Dortmund to Bayern Munich. Will you be disappointed if Dortmund takes away the championship? ?”

If you ask this kind of question, given Gotze's current mental state, I'm afraid he will fall out directly...

Lewandowski, a former Dortmund player, was also interviewed. He was still upset that his header was ruled offside: I think it was definitely not an offside kick.

A reporter asked him if he had watched the game video. He shook his head and said: I haven't watched it yet, but I trust myself, a forward's intuition. There is absolutely no problem with that ball. If that ball had been scored at that time, the situation would have been completely different. …”

Because they lost, not many Bayern Munich players were interviewed. Many people ran back to the locker room as soon as the game was over. They didn’t want to stay outside at all and didn’t want to see Dortmund players celebrating their victory wantonly on their territory. Naturally, I didn’t have the opportunity to be interviewed.

However, at the press conference after the game, the head coaches of both sides had to attend. Questions that these reporters had no chance to ask would probably be thrown to the head coaches of both sides, especially Bayern Munich head coach Guardiola. .

Reporters can be gentle with players, but they don't need to be polite at all with coaches.

※※※

After Klopp came on the scene, the atmosphere at the press conference was fairly normal.

Klopp had a smile on his face that he couldn't hide, or he didn't even think about hiding it.

...Bayern Munich started the game very well, but we quickly took the lead and changed everything. If a team can score three goals at Bayern Munich's home ground, then we can say that they are perfect. I don't want to boast. , but we did it perfectly!”

At this point, Klopp laughed.

...We were very focused in the game, and we also had more determination and courage to win. Bayern Munich can always create many opportunities in front of the goal, so our defensive efforts are very important. In short, I feel good for our players I feel proud and proud of my performance. I don’t want to talk about the championship or anything, I just want to enjoy the joy brought by winning this game.”

Klopp didn't attend the press conference for long. After winning the game, Dortmund had to rush back non-stop, so he couldn't stay here for too long.

Besides...at the press conference at the Allianz Arena, he was not the protagonist.

But Guardiola.

When Guardiola appeared here, the smell of gunpowder in the air at the press conference seemed to become stronger.

We didn't find the rhythm of the game in the first half and only improved in the last ten minutes. In the second half we had a chance to change the situation, but the goal conceded and Neuer's injury were so unexpected... Then we The more we play, the worse it gets... I'm not trying to find reasons. Our performance in this game was indeed not as good as Dortmund's. It's normal to lose... I don't want to comment on the referee, that's not what I should do. Lewandowski The goal was disallowed? I haven't had time to watch the game video, but I think there should be no controversy if the game video is there...

A reporter asked Guardiola whether Bayern Munich's performance during this period was not stable enough. They were tied by Hoffenheim in the last round of the league and were defeated by Dortmund at home in this round. Is it because of the players' unstable mental quality? caused by.

They are all professional players and they know how to deal with this situation. Guardiola denied this view.

But the reporters did not want to let Guardiola go just like that. They continued to ask: Last season, Bayern Munich also lost the league championship when Dortmund came from behind at the last moment. The same is true this season, so is this the experience of Bayern last season? Has it left a shadow in the hearts of the Munich players?

Of course not. Guardiola flatly denied it. We're just unlucky...

Have you been unlucky for two consecutive seasons? the reporter said reluctantly.

Guardiola suppressed his anger and replied: I don't know what happened last season. I was not the head coach of Bayern Munich at that time...

Zhouyi has defeated Bayern Munich for two consecutive seasons. As a former Barcelona coach, do you regret that Barcelona did not sign him to La Masia? Some reporters simply started to rehash old scores.

That was something before, and at that time I was the coach of Barcelona's first team and was not in charge of La Masia.

You once said that you don't care about Dortmund, so is it because of your previous lack of concern that led to this result?

It has nothing to do with that...

The confrontation between reporters and Guardiola is still going on. After losing the game, the Munich media already had a premonition that Bayern Munich might suffer another failed season. At this time, they no longer have to save face for Guardiola and will be filled with anger. They turned into tricky questions and threw them at Guardiola, forcing him to be embarrassed.

But compared with the huge disappointment of possibly losing the league championship, this little anger is nothing...
