Champion’s Heart

? When Gotze returned home, Jurgen Gotze keenly noticed something strange about his son.

How was your day, honey? He was reading the newspaper at the time. Hearing the sound of his son entering the room, he did not put down the newspaper, but asked casually.

But he didn't get an answer from Gotze, he only heard footsteps walking away from him.

Jurgen Gotze, who noticed something strange, put down the newspaper and looked suspiciously at the direction in which his son disappeared.

During dinner, his wife screamed many times outside, and Gotze did not come out of the bedroom.

The couple looked at each other, and then Jurgen Gotze made a I'm going gesture, put down the newspaper, got up and walked to Gotze's door. He knocked on the door: Mario, you are asleep. ?

But there was no sound inside.

So Jürgen Gotze put his hand on the doorknob: I want to come in.

Still no response.

Jurgen opened the door and found his son sitting on the bed. The room was dark with no lights on.

Jurgen walked to the bed and sat down, and said in a joking tone: It seems that today is not a good day...

They all know. Gotze suddenly interrupted his father.

Jurgen looked at his son strangely.

They all know that I am going to Bayern Munich. Gotze lowered his head and continued to mutter.

Jurgen was surprised: Who told them?

That's not important, Dad. What's important is that I became a traitor in their eyes. Gotze shook his head.

Jurgen reached out and stroked his son's head: Don't care about other people's opinions. If you really care, then you shouldn't have chosen to go to Bayern Munich in the first place. Are you going to regret it now?

Gotze fell silent.

Why did he agree to the transfer invitation from Bayern Munich in the first place?

Is it because you have liked Bayern Munich since you were a child?

Is it because Bayern Munich's head coach next season is Guardiola, whom he likes?

Or as his agent Struth said,

Can you become a world-class superstar by going to Bayern Munich?

On the face of it, these are very good reasons.

But only Gotze himself knows why he went to Bayern Munich.

Deep in his heart, there is a very secret corner. No one knows the existence of this corner, except Gotze himself.

The media often calls him, Royce and Zhou Yi the Three Young Musketeers of Dortmund. Before Mark Wagner was seriously injured, this title belonged to him, Mark and Zhou Yi.

In the eyes of outsiders, Gotze and Zhou Yi are very good friends. They have the same experience of playing for the Dortmund youth team, and they also won the youth level national championship together when they played for the youth team.

But only Gotze himself knew that his relationship with Zhou Yi was not as harmonious as the outside world thought.

Yes, he and Zhou Yi are indeed friends, and they can talk and laugh together.

But in that corner that no one knows about, there is another emotion, which can be regarded as hostility to Zhou Yi.

Before Zhou Yi came to the team, Gotze had always been the most eye-catching star of all ages. Even in the first team, he was a highly anticipated star of tomorrow.

After meeting Zhou Yi, Gotze discovered Zhou Yi's talent. He was happy to meet a peer as good as him.

Yes, Gotze has always believed that Zhou Yi is as good as him, and they are like two arrogant people.

Especially after the two of them worked together to win two national championships in the youth team, and then were transferred to the first team together.

But when he reached the first team, Gotze gradually realized that his previous understanding was wrong - he was not as good a player as Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi was better than him...

This fact was unacceptable to Gotze at first, and from that moment on he secretly began to compete with Zhou Yi.

But as time went by, he found himself being pulled further and further away from Zhou Yi.

When Shaheen transferred and left the team, Zhou Yi naturally became the core of the team, and he had just been able to become the main force...

Then the development paths of the two people gradually began to deviate. Zhou Yi is getting better and better. Although Gotze also plays the main role in the team, he feels that it is not in line with his expectations.

He began to realize that the two people who were once neck and neck in the youth team seemed to be no longer in the same world. He inevitably lived in the shadow of Zhou Yi.

All media will think that Zhou Yi is important to Dortmund, but no one thinks that he has the same important role in Dortmund.

Why go to Bayern Munich?

Because as long as Gotze is still in Dortmund, he will never be able to get rid of Zhou Yi's influence.

He is eager to go to Bayern Munich to prove himself again and prove to everyone that he, Mario Gotze, is no worse than Zhou Yi, and that he does not have to live in Zhou Yi's shadow all the time.

Yes, I went to Bayern Munich not because I like Bayern Munich, but because I want to prove myself, and I want to compete with Zhou Yi on the court!

Thinking of this, Gotze came back to his senses, shook his head at his father and said, No, I have no regrets.

Jurgen patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: Since you have no regrets, what is there to be afraid of? No matter what others think, just stick to your choice. But remember, you are still a Dortmund player, so You need to dedicate yourself to helping Dortmund win until the end of the season. Don’t leave anything to criticize.”

I understand, thank you dad. Gotze nodded.

Jurgen smiled and said: Let's go and eat. Mom should be angry... I think that is the most terrifying thing...

Gotze also laughed when he heard his father making a joke about his mother.

※※※

During the training on the second day, Klopp also had separate conversations with several players, but he avoided other players. No one knows what Klopp talked to them, and these people would not say anything when asked by other teammates.

But it can be seen that the atmosphere in the team is not as tense and abnormal as the first day.

Some have accepted the fact that Gotze is leaving them for Bayern Munich, and their day-to-day interactions with Gotze look the same as usual.

Some people still can't forgive him. They treated him as nothing when they met in the team, such as Grosskreutz. Now they see Gotze not only not saying hello, but also directly pointing his nostrils at him.

Although there are some people who are not as cold to Gotze as Grosskreutz, their relationship with Gotze is slowly cooling down.

And what about Gotze?

Within the team, he is relatively silent compared to before. Now he just trains every day and does his own thing well, and does not take the initiative to have any contact with his teammates.

Under such circumstances, Dortmund ushered in their opponent in the 29th round of the league, Fürth.

In this game, Dortmund is away from home. The opponent is not strong, but it should not be underestimated.

Let’s not talk about the current problems within the team, let’s just say that without Gotze’s transfer, Dortmund, which had just fought hard for 94 minutes against Atletico Madrid, would have been very tired. Coupled with the fact that Fürth is currently ranked last, with six rounds left in the league, they need to fight for relegation. At the end of the league, relegation teams are even more difficult to beat than championship teams.

So Dortmund may not necessarily be able to defeat Fürth easily.

Not to mention that Dortmund is still affected by the Gotze transfer incident.

The only good news for Dortmund today may be that Mark Wagner has returned from injury.

Now that Dortmund is hiring, Mark's return can effectively reduce Dortmund's dependence on Lewandowski on the front line and reduce the pressure on Lewandowski.

Sure enough, before the game against Fürth, Klopp announced the team's eighteen-man roster, and Mark Wagner was among them.

This game is held at the same time as Bayern Munich's home game against Nuremberg.

In China, the match between Dortmund and Fürth was scheduled to be broadcast live on the free channel 5. This is basically how CCTV broadcasts the Bundesliga. If you want to watch the games of other teams on the free channel, you can only watch them on the free channel. One possibility is that these teams have become Dortmund's opponents.

Because free sports channels have the widest coverage and have no threshold, such resources must of course be reserved for Chinese players. During the Bundesliga broadcasts two days a week, the free channel resources are basically taken up by Dortmund and Schalke 04. Bayern Munich, the former most popular, now has to be ranked third.

In today's situation, Bayern Munich and Dortmund's games are played at the same time, so the Bayern Munich game is arranged on the paid Fengyun Football Channel.

Of course, many Bayern Munich fans will be very unhappy with this arrangement, but more fans are supportive, especially those who don’t watch the Bundesliga very much and only pay attention to the Bundesliga because of Zhou Yi and Yang Muge. Raise your hands to support this arrangement of CCTV.

In this game, although Zhou Yi also participated in the game against Atletico Madrid four days ago and tried his best in the game and played the entire game, he still started the game today.

The importance of Zhou Yi to Dortmund is self-evident now.

This is actually the reason why Gotze wants to leave Dortmund. In Dortmund, Zhou Yi is indispensable, but Gotze is not. In some games, Gotze will be rotated, but Zhou Yi is almost never rotated. (To be continued~^~)
