Champion’s Heart

“…In the just-concluded 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final, Dortmund, played by Chinese players Zhou Yi and Yan Min, defeated La Liga giants Real Madrid with a score of 4:3 after a fierce match and successfully defended the Champions League. Championship. It broke the curse that no team has been able to successfully defend the Champions League since the reform... But Zhou Yi was tackled by his opponent at the last minute of the game...

... After Zhou Yi was injured, his injury quickly affected the hearts of fans and media across the country. When the World Cup was about to come, as the absolute core of the Chinese team, he suffered an injury... We still don't know the extent of the injury. Serious. But it can be seen from the live broadcast of the game that Zhou Yi was raised by the unit price in the end... I hope there will not be too big a problem, and I hope Zhou Yi will not miss the World Cup finals because of this...

In an interview after the game, Carvajal said that he did not mean to hurt anyone. He was very sorry for Zhou Yi's unfortunate experience. He also said that he had called Zhou Yi to apologize and was forgiven by Zhou Yi... But Despite this, Carvajal's social media account was flooded with angry Dortmund and Chinese fans, who condemned Carvajal's unnecessary tackle at the last moment...

...The diagnosis result of Zhou Yi, who was injured by Carvajal at the last moment of the Champions League final, has come out. The fifth metatarsal bone of his left foot was contused - fortunately it was not a fracture or a bone fracture, otherwise Zhou Yi would have bid farewell to this World Cup completely. .Unfortunately, doctors predict that even if Zhou Yi can return from injury, he will only be able to play in the third group stage or knockout stage game...and by then, will the Chinese team without Zhou Yi reach the World Cup knockout stage? It’s hard to say. In addition, Zhou Yi will also miss all the preparation and training time, which also means that he will not be able to cooperate with his teammates and strengthen their tacit understanding. If he cannot train and compete for a long time, what state will he be able to perform even if he plays? Where are you coming? This is what everyone is worried about...

...Lippi flew to Portugal immediately after the Champions League final to meet with Zhou Yi. The two had a secret conversation behind closed doors, and no one knew what they talked about... Later, Lippi was interviewed by reporters. , saying that neither he nor the national team would give up on Zhou Yi. Although it is still unknown how long it will take for Zhou Yi to return to the court, he has decided to take Zhou Yi to Brazil. And he said that Zhou Yi also agreed to this arrangement...

...Lippi said that he would wait for Zhou Yi to pay with the team. As if to prove his determination, he has decided to hand over the captain's armband of the Chinese team to Zhou Yi. According to the country's insiders, this decision also It was approved by all the players on the team...

...Some people are worried that Zhou Yi's absence from the training and warm-up matches before the World Cup will affect the team's preparations. Lippi did not respond directly to this. There are indeed many such concerns on the Internet. The Chinese team's previous tactics are obviously It was built around Zhou Yi. As a result, Zhou Yi was unable to participate in training and warm-up matches due to injury. So should the Chinese team's tactics be adjusted and personnel arrangements need to be reconsidered? These are things Lippi has to consider... It can be said that Zhou Yi The injury caught Lippi off guard. Of course, it also caught all of us Chinese fans off guard...

...Zhou Yi showed up at the national team's training camp in Spain today.

He was dressed casually, but the crutches in his hands were very eye-catching... He wore a special protective shoe on his left foot, so he couldn't see what was going on inside. But his behavior is really worrying... The only consolation is that Zhou Yi's mood seems to be okay, not as bad as everyone thought. He even smiled and waved to the reporter's camera. He chatted with Lippi for a while on the sidelines of the training ground, and then chatted and laughed with his teammates from the national team. Judging from his expression, it was completely impossible to tell that he was injured...

...Zhou Yi then accepted an interview with the media. He said that he would meet with the team when they go to Brazil. As for whether he can make it to the World Cup, Zhou Yi expressed confidence in this. At the same time, he also responded to the Internet Some netizens believe that Zhou Yi's injury is related to Dortmund's high-intensity and high-load use of him this season. Zhou Yi expressed his gratitude to netizens for their concern for him, but he did not agree with this statement. This injury was just an accident. And accidents can happen under any circumstances, and it has nothing to do with how the club uses him...

...He Ying said in an interview that Zhou Yi's injury will definitely have some adverse effects on the team, but he is also very confident in his teammates. He said that they will definitely persist until Zhou Yi returns...

Sun Pan joked that after Zhou Yi was injured, it was his turn to steal the show... But the Chinese team really relied on him after losing Zhou Yi. There are signs that Lippi is studying to let the Chinese team play defensive counterattack... After losing Zhou Yi, After losing the core of the organization, defensive counterattack is indeed the most likely tactic Lippi can implement at present... When Zhou Yi returns to the court, it really depends on whether what he faces is his last game in this World Cup. Sun Pan’s performance...

...Zhou Yi's injury is not only the domestic media and fans who are very concerned about it, but also the foreign media. Especially the three countries in this World Cup and the Chinese team are divided into the same group. The training camp of the Chinese team happens to be in Spain, so these days Suddenly there were many Spanish reporters outside the training camp. The Dutch media also followed up and reported on Zhou Yi's injury... It can be seen that they are very concerned about Zhou Yi's ability to catch up with the World Cup, especially the match against them...

...Today the Chinese National Men's Football Team announced the final list of 23 players for the World Cup finals in Brazil. Zhou Yi is among them. It seems that the national team has high hopes for Zhou Yi's recovery... At the same time, due to Zhou Yi's accident Zheng Zhi, who was injured and was not sure whether he could go to Brazil, also remains on the list. In Zhou Yi's absence, he may have to take over the responsibility of organizing the offense...

...Today, the entire Chinese team flew to Brazil, where they will have their final training session, and there is also a warm-up match waiting for them. We saw Zhou Yi at the airport. He was using crutches with his teammates. Together, wearing uniforms. In addition, we also saw his girlfriend Cortana next to him. Cortana will also go to Brazil with the team. It is said that this is after Zhou Yi was injured, the Chinese Football Association discussed with the national team coaching staff With special approval, she will be exclusively and solely responsible for Zhou Yi's injury recovery and treatment... Because Cortana is an excellent physical therapist and team doctor at the Dortmund Club. She is also Zhou Yi's lover. With this relationship, I believe that under her loving care Next time, Zhou Yi's injury should improve faster...

...The Chinese team has arrived in Vitoria, their training ground in Brazil... The Chinese team who got off the plane were warmly welcomed by the local Chinese delegation at the airport, and they presented wreaths to the Chinese team players. Zhou Yi at the airport Interviewed by reporters again, he was full of confidence that he could catch up with the World Cup. He said: '...We are here to create history. I believe in my teammates. We will never finish two games. I went home early after the group stage...'

...The Chinese team has been in Brazil for almost a week, and it is getting closer and closer to the opening of the World Cup. In the past few days, Zhou Yi has been training alone in the gym. The Chinese team's physical coach Li Te and his 'personal physical therapist' Cortana is with him throughout the whole process... Although he can't touch the ball for training yet, he can do physical training and maintain his physical condition... But everyone is still inevitably worried about Zhou Yi, who has not trained with the ball or practiced with the whole team until now. , even if you come back by then, what kind of state can you show?

The good news is that we no longer see the protective shoe on Zhou Yi's left foot. From Zhou Yi's walking movements, there is almost no difference. It seems that Zhou Yi's injury is recovering in a way that makes us happy. The speed is recovering. But walking is fine does not mean that running and playing football are fine. After all, the little toe of the left foot is a part that needs to touch the ball frequently. If that place hurts when the ball is touched, it is obviously impossible to play...

...There are still five days until the opening game of the World Cup in Brazil, and six days before the Chinese team's first game in this World Cup. Zhou Yi has not yet conducted ball training, which makes people have to wonder whether he Being able to catch up with the World Cup is a big question mark... We interviewed several national team players, and they all avoided talking about whether Zhou Yi could catch up with the game. Zhou Yi's injury seems to have become a sensitive topic for the national team... …”

Lippi said in our interview that he still has full confidence in Zhou Yi, but he hopes reporters will not pay too much attention to Zhou Yi's injury because it is unfair to other national team players...

...The Chinese team has just concluded its last warm-up match. This warm-up match has attracted much attention. The performance of the Chinese team in this game can give people some idea of ​​how they will perform in the World Cup. It has been determined that Zhou Yi With the Chinese team missing at least two group matches, the performance of the Chinese team without Zhou Yi will directly determine whether the Chinese team can go further in this World Cup... This warm-up match may allow everyone to I saw some clues. The opponent of the Chinese team in this warm-up match was Costa Rica, the same group opponent in the 2002 Japan and South Korea World Cup... In the end, with He Ying's goal, the Chinese team shook hands with Costa Rica 1:1. This result was not It's not satisfactory, but during the game, we can still see Lippi's thoughts. He wanted to rely on defense and counterattack. During the game, the Chinese team used direct passes and long passes to launch offense many times, but made mistakes. The rate is very high. It can also be seen that this team has not adjusted well to this new tactic. After all, they have always played pass-and-control tactics before...

With only three days before the opening of the World Cup, the Chinese team ended their last warm-up match. There were a total of three warm-up matches with two losses and one draw, making it difficult to win. Coupled with Zhou Yi's injury, these are all detrimental to the Chinese team's Morale has been hit. There was no win in the warm-up match, and naturally there is no way to build self-confidence through the warm-up match... In addition, the results of the grouping are very unfavorable to the Chinese team. Now many people are very pessimistic and think that the Chinese team There is no way to escape the fate of being eliminated in three group matches... Some people even think that Zhou Yi should not play with injuries and withdraw from the World Cup directly to avoid leaving any hidden dangers. We should take a longer-term view and think about what will happen in four years. The World Cup in Russia. After all, the 'Five Little Dragons'... no, the 'Six Little Dragons' are still very young. They are far more than this World Cup... But if they force themselves to play in this World Cup and aggravate their injuries, the impact will be huge. Big...
