Champion’s Heart

The joy of defeating Bayern Munich diluted the sorrow of Gotze's injury. Some people may even not care whether Gotze is injured at all.

In fact, the Dortmund club officially issued an announcement after the game, announcing that Gotze had strained the muscle in his right leg. It is uncertain when he will return from injury. It is also uncertain whether he can make it to the Champions League final.

It stands to reason that the main player of the team is injured and may miss the Champions League final. This is definitely the focus of everyone's concern. However, in Dortmund, few people talk about this. Even if someone occasionally talks about it, someone will immediately say: What are you afraid of? We still have Zhou Yi!

Yes, we still have the Book of Changes.

After Zhou Yi's outstanding performance, many people immediately forgot about Gotze. Some people even have a revengeful mentality - don't you look down on us, Dortmund? Aren’t you going to Bayern Munich to hug your thighs? Look at now, we can still live well without you, we have Zhou Yi, he is no worse than you!

This kind of psychological trouble makes Dortmund's victory over Bayern Munich even more satisfying.

Many Dortmund fans were still sad about Gotze's departure before, but now they are not at all.

Of course, they have to be wary of Zhou Yi leaving Dortmund this summer.

A fan has already left a message on the official website, claiming that if the Dortmund club executives dare to sell Zhou Yi, he will refuse to buy season tickets for the next season. Moreover, his statement has been supported and approved by many fans.

Not only fans, but also the media did not report much about Gotze's injury.

The injured Gotze seemed to be forgotten.

But not everyone will forget him.

After the game, Klopp announced a day off. All players who played in the game against Bayern Munich did not need to participate in the next day's training.

On this day, Zhou Yi did not rest at home, nor was he busy discussing with his agent Schulze whether to leave or stay next season. He went to a place.

Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? Zhou Yi looked at Gotze sitting on the sofa and said in a teasing tone.

After reacting, Gotze shook his head and said: No,

I'm just surprised you came to see me.

Why is it unexpected? Shouldn't I come to see you? We are friends. Zhou Yi said and sat down on the sofa opposite Gotze, while Gotze's mother brought Zhou Yi a cup of coffee, and then she withdrew. Go out, and when you go out, you close the door for the two of them so that they can be alone.

Friend... Gotze murmured, and then smiled, but it was a little bitter. I thought I had no friends in Dortmund anymore.

Ha! Are you kidding me? Zhou Yi laughed. Your going to Bayern Munich does not conflict with our relationship. You know, Schalke 04 and I have a good friend!

Gotze knew who Zhou Yi was talking about, Schalke 04's difficult Chinese midfielder.

When I first found out that Zhou Yi and he were good friends, I was a little surprised, because Yang Muge's behavior during the competition did not look like he was good friends with Zhou Yi at all. He was merciless and even more difficult to deal with than others. .

There is a question I haven't asked you, Zhou Yi. What do you think of me going to Bayern Munich?

After it was reported that he was going to Bayern Munich, Gotze did not discuss the matter with anyone, not just Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi said with a smile: It's good. The biggest club in the Bundesliga, it's a good thing that you've gone.

I want to hear the truth from you, Zhou Yi. Gotze said seriously.

Um... Zhou Yi was silent for a moment, and then asked, Did you go to Bayern Munich for Guardiola?

It is no secret to Zhou Yi that Gotze admires Guardiola.

That's right... Gotze paused and said.

Do you really want to hear the truth from me, Mario? Zhou Yi asked again.

I really want it. Gotze nodded.

Then I may not be very optimistic about your choice... Zhou Yi said. Bayern Munich has too many forward players, and you will face very cruel competition if you go there. In addition, Guardiola's coaching style may not be suitable for you...Mario, are you a person who is good at taking the initiative to communicate with the coach?

Gotze shook his head. He didn't count. In Dortmund, he was not the kind of person who liked to chat with the head coach when nothing happened. If Klopp didn't find him, he wouldn't go to Klopp.

But there is no problem in Dortmund, because Klopp knows Gotze, and Gotze also knows Klopp. The two people do not need to chat to get familiar with each other.

But what about Bayern Munich?

That's unfortunate. I heard that Guardiola doesn't seem to be the kind of person who likes to chat with players whenever he has nothing to do. So I have a suggestion. If you go to Bayern Munich, you must be more active than here. By being proactive, I mean being more proactive in everything.”

Zhou Yi finished.

Gotze fell silent.

He wasn't sure whether what Zhou Yi said was correct. In fact, he didn't know whether going to Bayern Munich was a better choice.

Seeing Gotze's silence, Zhou Yi changed the subject: Your injury won't affect the Champions League final, right?

Gotze shook his head: I don't know, I hope it won't affect it.

I also hope that you are indispensable! Zhou Yi said in a half-joking tone.

Actually, the team can win without me, just like the last game...

But we'll win so much easier with you.

Well, I feel better when you say that. Gotze also laughed.

The two people looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to their initial days in the youth team. There were no worries about transferring to Bayern Munich, only a hopeful vision for the future, and carefree and simple happiness.

Zhou Yi didn't stay at Gotze's house for too long. He actually came to see Gotze, comfort him when he was injured, and chat with him casually. If he could make Gotze laugh, he would be considered successful.

When saying goodbye, Gotze did not get up to see him off, but he opened his mouth as if he had something to say, but until Zhou Yi exited his room, he did not say what he wanted to say.

He thought it would be better not to tell Zhou Yi what he really thought in his heart.

At the gate, Gotze's mother expressed her gratitude to Zhou Yi: Thank you very much for coming to see Mario, Zhou Yi.

This is what I should do. Mario is my friend and my teammate. Zhou Yi said.

He has so many teammates, but you are the only one who comes to visit him. Gotze's mother said with a slightly sad face.

Zhou Yi smiled and comforted her: I just came early, madam.

But Gotze's mother did not accept Zhou Yi's comfort: That incident caused him to lose almost all his friends and made it difficult for him to gain a foothold in this city.

Zhou Yi was silent.

He can understand the feeling that Gotze's mother said. In this city that is only crazy about the Dortmund team, if you suddenly become a traitor, of course you will be opposed and spurned by the entire city. That kind of The pressure is tremendous.

This kind of pressure is not something that only Gotze will bear. I am afraid that Gotze's family will also be implicated.

Although Zhou Yi was also hit and hurt by Gotze's sudden departure, now he has some sympathy for Gotze's family.

At the same time, under such huge pressure to transfer to Bayern Munich, there must be a reason for Gotze to go, right?

Whether it is because of his appreciation for Guardiola or because he has supported Bayern Munich since he was a child, now that he has made this decision, Zhou Yi can only wish him good luck. I hope my analysis this time is wrong.

※※※

Gotze's mother is right, Zhou Yi is the only Dortmund player who went to visit Gotze.

As Gotze himself said, the move to Bayern Munich caused Gotze to lose all his friends in Dortmund.

These people may not directly reveal their true emotions in public, but they still reveal their attitude towards Gotze in a place where others cannot see.

But we can't criticize Gotze's teammates for being too ruthless because of this. In their eyes, Gotze's decision to leave may be even more ruthless.

The gap between the two can only be slowly digested and bridged over time.

Some people may never forgive Gotze, but that doesn't matter. Everyone has the right to choose, to forgive or not to forgive.

The joy of defeating Bayern Munich is enough to keep Dortmund fans happy for a week, but Dortmund players cannot always leave their emotions behind after the game, they have to move on. Defeating Bayern Munich is only a key step to winning the championship, but it is not a decisive step.

There are still two league games waiting for Dortmund, especially the last league game. Dortmund will face Hoffenheim at home. Facing Hoffenheim, which must win to avoid relegation, Dortmund will not be able to handle the situation even if they are playing at home. optimism.

Because they are only one point ahead of Bayern Munich, even a draw in the remaining two games will allow Bayern Munich to regain the top spot in the league.

After traveling a hundred miles and a half, it’s not time to celebrate yet.
