Champion’s Heart

Gotze has been confirmed to miss the Champions League final, which is a topic that the media and fans are talking about.

But for Bayern Munich, strictly speaking, this is not good news.

If it is not Gotze who misses the final due to injury, but Zhou Yi, then Bayern Munich will definitely have to celebrate - that is the real good news!

Unfortunately, there was no news before the game that Zhou Yi might miss the final.

Although he was suspected of being injured in the game against Real Madrid, and after the game against Real Madrid, he did not get any chance to rest and kept spinning.

Therefore, Bayern Munich very much hopes that Zhou Yi will be injured.

Regarding Gotze's absence from the finals, there is a conspiracy theory among public opinion and fans - it is believed that Gotze is using this method to avoid direct dialogue with his new club next season and avoid embarrassment.

Otherwise, if it was just a strain, why would it be canceled for the season?

No one knows whether Gotze really avoids fighting, and Gotze has never responded to this question on any occasion. Perhaps he feels that such questions are getting darker and darker, or he does not bother to answer such questions.

He just said in an interview that he felt frustrated and painful that he could not play alongside his teammates, but he would cheer for his teammates in the stands and hoped that Dortmund could defeat Bayern Munich and win the championship.

This is also a very common answer.

Gotze can't say he doesn't want Dortmund to win, can he? No matter how stupid he is, he can't be this stupid.

After Gotze determined that he would not be able to participate in the finals, Zhou Yi was also asked this question by reporters.

I know how important it is for a player to be able to participate in the Champions League final. So it is a real pity that Mario cannot participate in the final. We will go all out in the game and then go back to Mario with a championship. .”

Zhou Yi's answer is quite satisfactory.

A reporter asked Klopp whether Gotze's injury would have any adverse impact on the team's performance in the final.

Klopp said: Of course it will, but I believe other players will try to make up for this negative impact. We are a team, a whole.

It’s also a very official answer,

And the same,

On the Bayern Munich side, there were no outrageous remarks.

Before the most important matchup of the season, these two teams, which had been at loggerheads all season, seemed to suddenly become calm and cautious.

This makes some people feel uncomfortable.

But this may be the legendary calm before the storm.

There is relative calm among the teams, but among the fans, this calm no longer exists. Whether on the Internet in China or in small pubs in Germany. The final between Dortmund and Bayern Munich has already made fans from both sides crazy.

In China, there are many people who support Zhou Yi, but it is not 100%. There are always some people who don't care whether Zhou Yi can win the award, but care more about whether their favorite team can win the championship. So supporters of both sides started fighting online.

This kind of debate on the Internet is always the most eye-catching.

Generally speaking, those who support Zhou Yi have the upper hand. This is normal. If you think about it carefully, this is China's network. Basically, the people on the Internet are Chinese. Of course they will support a Chinese player. Even if these people don't know where Dortmund comes from, as long as it is inside If there are Chinese players, then I will support them unconditionally.

So those die-hard fans who still support Bayern Munich are really rare - in such a public opinion environment, they still support a team without Chinese players. This is true love.

In addition to the hype on the Internet, traditional media are also paying great attention to this game.

CCTV, which has the rights to broadcast the Champions League, will not only broadcast the game live, but also send a commentary team to directly comment on the game. This kind of treatment is not common. Although the Champions League finals happen every year, CCTV does not There will be on-site commentary.

The feeling of live commentary is completely different from being in a studio thousands of miles away, staring at a big-screen TV. The commentator will be affected by the atmosphere of the environment. In that noisy environment, it is easy to get excited, and the commentary will naturally be more passionate and exciting.

In addition, CCTV has been tracking and reporting from the week before the finals.

A fifteen-minute program is broadcast every day, reporting on the preparations of the two teams.

CCTV reporters and film crews are already stationed in Dortmund and Munich.

In addition, they also traveled across Europe and interviewed Zhou Yi's national team teammates in Europe. Yang Muge, He Ying, Sun Pan and Guo Nu appeared in the countdown program in order, and talked with the audience and fans in front of Chinese TV sets about their views on Zhouyi. Sun Pan has played against Zhou Yi in the Champions League, and his words are more convincing.

...Of course I hope Zhou Yi can win the championship. Otherwise, wouldn't it be meaningless if I lose to him? The person who can beat me, Sun Pan, can only be the champion! Sun Pan said in the camera with awesomeness .

Such follow-up reports, which are like a countdown, give people a feeling that the storm is about to come.

It also makes everyone look forward to this Champions League final even more.

This is a treatment that has never been enjoyed in previous Champions League finals.

The reason for such treatment is of course because a Chinese player will appear in this Champions League final. This is the first time in history that a Chinese player will participate in the Champions League final.

This influence and significance is very great.

Even UEFA's official website published an exclusive interview with Zhou Yi before the final, as well as several other articles, all talking about Zhou Yi's participation in the Champions League final.

Because of Zhou Yi, this Champions League final attracted even more attention.

Of course, Zhou Yi can get so much attention not just because he is a Chinese player. It is certainly rare for a Chinese player to appear in the Champions League final. But before him, Park Ji-sung also became the first Asian player to appear in the Champions League final. Logically speaking, isn't that an even more remarkable achievement?

Zhouyi only represents China, while Park Ji-sung represents the whole of Asia.

So why is there no such sensational effect on Park Ji-sung?

Because Zhou Yi is not just a player for Dortmund in the Champions League final, he is also the core of Dortmund and an important contributor to Dortmund's ability to reach the Champions League final. His importance to Dortmund is unmatched by Park Ji-sung. Although Park Ji-sung also played the main role at Manchester United, he is definitely not the core.

In fact, the only time Park Ji-sung won the Champions League trophy was also the only time an Asian player won the Champions League trophy. He was not selected for Manchester United's Champions League final squad.

Manchester United can win the Champions League final without Park Ji-sung.

But if Dortmund doesn't have Zhou Yi, it's hard to say whether they can even reach the Champions League final.

The day before the Champions League final, the war between Dortmund and Bayern Munich has been settled on the Chinese Internet. Bayern Munich fans who are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and who do not take advantage of their righteousness have lost. On social media like Weibo, the hottest topic is Cheer for Zhou Yi on the night of the Champions League final.

Chinese fans cheered Zhou Yi in various ways, and various companies unrelated to sports also took the opportunity to market.

Some selfies of people holding up a candy bar to cheer for Zhou Yi were posted online. An interesting roadside interview asked them what they thought of the Champions League final. There are also various marketing accounts that take the opportunity to hold lottery draws, saying that as long as Dortmund can win the championship, a few people will be selected from the people who forwarded Weibo to give away various prizes...

It was really lively. On this day, it is estimated that many people are not in the mood to go to work and go to class. Whenever they have free time, they will use their mobile phones and computers to browse Weibo and watch the excitement.

That night, only a few hours before the start of the Champions League final, CCTV broadcast the last program of follow-up reports. The protagonist of this program was Zhou Yi.

But they didn't want to ask Zhou Yi to sit in front of the camera and be interviewed like in the previous episodes - considering that the competition was about to happen, the TV station did not go to Zhou Yi for an interview, for fear of affecting his preparations. In fact, even if they go to find him, Dortmund Club will not agree, and Zhou Yi will probably not accept this interview request.

Therefore, although this program features Zhou Yi as the protagonist, it does show Zhou Yi's journey in the Champions League this season from other angles, including footage of him in the game, clips of interviews before and after the game, and interviews with Interviews with other people - CCTV really put in the effort this time. They interviewed ordinary Dortmund fans on the streets of Dortmund. They also went to interview their colleagues, the Chinese and foreign reporters who reported on Dortmund, and they also interviewed commentators from German TV stations. Marcel Leif, let him talk about his views on the Book of Changes.

Being able to find so many people shows that CCTV is still very thoughtful in this regard.

Through the narration of these outsiders, Chinese fans can have a more comprehensive understanding of Zhou Yi, and at the same time, they can review Zhou Yi's Champions League journey this season.

Later, it was said that the ratings of this program were quite high, which is of course...

This is the finale.

After this program ended, the host finally reminded everyone not to forget the Champions League final at 2:45 a.m. Beijing time tomorrow morning, and the CCTV live broadcast started at 1 a.m.

By then the live broadcast will probably start when the players board the bus at the hotel.

When the whole world began to look forward to this game, Zhou Yi and his teammates were taking a lunch break.

In fact, not all players will sleep honestly, but Zhou Yi really went to bed and fell asleep.

The purpose of his sleep is not to recharge his energy, but to seize the time to continue to discuss with Bayern Munich in the virtual world.

Since the end of the league, Zhou Yi's only opponent in the virtual space is Bayern Munich. He has played countless games with Bayern Munich here.

The results are basically 50-50, and Dortmund has almost the same probability of winning and losing.

This means that in the actual game, it will also be a close contest.

There is a lot of chance in such a game, so Zhou Yi must be prepared. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
