Champion’s Heart

Yan Min and Zhou Yi flew directly back to Beijing from Prague the next day after the European Super Cup. ． Fastest update

He was also selected for the training list of this national team.

The last time he was selected for the national team was only because the international player in the same position was accidentally injured.

Now that I see him in the national team again, this really makes some of his national team teammates who had laughed at him feel a little embarrassed. Who would have thought at that time that such an arrogant and second-rate young man could actually become a good guy in just a few months? Time to successfully join Dortmund?

Although he has not played a single official game in Dortmund, he can receive high-level training in Dortmund, which will definitely improve and help him greatly.

At first, everyone thought that after this accident, Yan Min would have to wait until who knows how long if he wanted to be selected for the national team again. Maybe that would be his only record of playing in the national team.

It is true that he was not selected for the national team in the East Asian Cup in July, but at that time it was because Yan Min was going to join Dortmund. Because he didn't know when the transfer would be successfully finalized, the Chinese team did not recruit Yan Min. It's not because Yan Min is not qualified to participate in the national team composed entirely of domestic players.

Now, Yan Min has not only been selected for the national team again, but he has also been selected as a returnee player. This really makes his international teammates who were not optimistic about his future uncomfortable.

However, no one dares to express their disdain to Yan Min face to face. No one dares to say to Yan Min, You are not even a substitute in Dortmund.

On the one hand, they are not even qualified to play as substitutes in Dortmund. On the other hand, it is obvious that Yan Min is following Zhou Yi. Although Zhou Yi is not on the team and has no factions, it does not mean that others can attack him casually.

You know, as the head coach, Gao Hongbo also attaches great importance to Zhou Yi's opinions.

If anyone really offends Zhou Yi,

What if he said one more thing in the ear of the senior director?

Just listen to what Director Gao said before the training camp began. Those six words were so vivid and vivid that they filled your ears with murderous intent.

Director Bu Dinggao was waiting for someone to hit his gun point so that he could kill Ji Qi to prove that what he said before was more than just that.

At this time, whoever touches this bad luck will be out of his mind.

The training period was very short. On September 4th, the Chinese national team ushered in its first warm-up opponent, Singapore, in Tianjin.

In this game, Gao Hongbo did not send out all the main lineup from the beginning, or there was no main lineup at all. During the pre-match training, the Chinese media discovered through observation that Gao Hongbo did not seem to have any intention of determining the main lineup. When the team competed in separate teams, he always let the players mix around.

It's impossible to tell who will play in the game against Singapore based on the color of their training vests.

The fixed lineup impression left on everyone in the qualifiers in the past has now been broken.

This means that Gao Hongbo does not want to fix the lineup now. The World Cup is nearly 300 days away. He has sufficient time to inspect domestic players and find the most suitable lineup.

Zhou Yi did get a chance to play in this game, but He Ying, Sun Pan and Guo Nu did not. Only Zhou Yi and Yang Muge were among the Five Little Dragons.

Zhou Yi only played for 45 minutes in this game and was replaced during the halftime break.

In the first half, the Chinese team led Singapore 3:0, and there were several good opportunities that they failed to seize.

He Ying, Sun Pan and Guo Nu all came on the field in the second half. In the 68th minute, Yan Min was also substituted.

The Chinese team scored three more goals in the second half, but also conceded one.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Singapore 6:1 and won their first warm-up match in preparation for the World Cup.

After the game, Zhou Yi accepted an interview with the TV station: ...The strength of the opponent does not matter. The most important thing is to use this game to let the players get into rhythm and find their state. Everything is for the World Cup next June...

Four days later, the Chinese team played against Malaysia. Zhou Yi was not available this time. He and He Ying were substituted in the second half.

Although the Chinese team also won this game, the winning score was not as big as the previous game.

This time the Chinese team defeated Malaysia 3:0.

Both warm-up matches were won, but the results are not what everyone is concerned about. What the Chinese team showed in the game is what everyone cares about.

Gao Hongbo tried different personnel combinations in these two games and even tried different formations. The performance of the Chinese team cannot be considered very good. After all, they have not been together for training and games for a while. Moreover, at this time, the Chinese Super League is in full swing. Many players are not in very good physical condition and appear very tired during the national team games.

After two warm-up matches, the Chinese team disbanded in Tianjin and the players returned to their respective clubs.

Zhou Yi, Yan Min, and Yang Muge took a flight back to Germany.

At the airport, Yang Muge said goodbye to Zhou Yi and Yan Min. He was going back to Schalke.

Zhou Yi and Yan Min were picked up in the car by their common manager Schulze. Instead of going back to their respective homes, they went directly back to Zhou Yi's new home.

There, his parents were waiting for them.

Zhou Yi was ready a long time ago and wanted to invite Yan Min and Schulze to his house for dinner and a taste of his mother's cooking.

Li Cuiyun has also made full preparations. The most important things she brought from China this time were various Chinese seasonings. She was afraid that she would not be able to buy such authentic ones here.

Schulze had already met Zhou Yi's parents and tasted Zhou Yi's mother's cooking, so he was very happy to hear that he could eat delicious food in Germany.

Yan Min was a little nervous. He had never met Zhou Yi's parents, and he was apprehensive about visiting Zhou Yi's house.

In the car, Zhou Yi noticed something strange about Yan Min. He asked, Why, are you feeling uncomfortable?

Yan Min shook his head quickly: No, no, I'm a little nervous...

Why are you nervous? You are visiting my house, not your girlfriend's house to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law... Zhou Yi teased.

Unexpectedly, Yan Min said: I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing...

Zhou Yi was happy when he heard this: You also know that mouth of yours?

After teasing Yan Min, Zhou Yi felt a little warm in his heart. Although Yan Min sometimes makes mistakes, he still thinks about others.

So Zhou Yi comforted him: Don't worry, my parents are very easy to get along with. Look at me. He pointed at his face.

Yan Min looked at him doubtfully, not understanding what he meant.

Look at me, can I teach parents of children like me to get along well with each other? Zhou Yi boasted.

Yan Min smiled when he heard this. Zhou Yi is the most accomplished player among Chinese players. He has achieved such high results at such a young age. Most people have already hit the sky with their tails. They will be a bit young and frivolous. It is normal to put on airs on weekdays, and even You also need to be approachable.

But Yan Min didn't see any of these things in Zhou Yi. He has no airs and never uses his performance to pressure others. He treats both newcomers and veterans equally on the team. Yan Min, a dazed young man who didn't know anything when he first came to Dortmund, was able to gain a foothold thanks to his help. Just after he broke up with his agent, he immediately and thoughtfully introduced his current agent to himself. When he faced excessive attention from reporters, he took the initiative to divert the attention of the media for him and helped him speak...

Yan Min had little contact with Zhou Yi before, and his understanding of him was limited to media reports and watching his games.

But after coming to Dortmund, he discovered that Zhou Yi was different from what he imagined. It was extremely rare for a successful player to be able to do what he did. Think about the people he met when he was playing football in China. They were also young and their achievements were not even one-tenth of Zhou Yi's, but they all had their nostrils turned upward and were extremely proud.

With this comparison, he felt that it was right for him to go abroad to play football. After broadening my horizons and seeing a wider world, I naturally can no longer be arrogant. Zhou Yi is so low-key and humble, so what qualifications do you people have?

After being treated like this by Zhou Yi, Yan Min's nervousness eased a lot.

※※※

Agent Schulze drove the car directly into the underground garage of the apartment building Zhou Yi bought. The three of them took their luggage and got out of the car. They used the fingerprint lock to open the door of the exclusive elevator. They walked into the elevator and used the fingerprint lock to verify their identity. He went directly from the ground to the top of the floor where he lived.

Yan Min was stunned by this scene. If it weren't for Zhou Yi, he and Schulze would not have been able to get in at all.

The security in this place is indeed very good. I wonder when I will be able to buy a house like this... No, isn't my goal to live in a villa?

Just when Yan Min was thinking wildly, Zhou Yi said: We're here. He woke him up.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Zhou Yi's door appeared in front of him.

Welcome to my home. Zhou Yiwan took out his keys and walked out first, dragged his luggage and opened the door, then shouted inside: Dad! Mom! I'm back!

As soon as he finished shouting, he saw his father walking out with a rag: Hey, wife! Look who's back!

However, Li Cuiyun did not respond to him. What responded to him was the sound of boiling cooking coming from the kitchen.

Seeing this, Zhou Jianliang quickly turned around and went to the kitchen, but left his son hanging at the door.

Zhou Yi didn't take it seriously. He turned around to greet Schulze and Yan Min. In fact, he mainly greeted Yan Min. Schulze had met Zhou Yi's parents, and this was not his first time in this house, so he took the initiative to take off his clothes at the door. Yan Min is a little cautious about shoes.

After entering, he looked around and was shocked by the spaciousness and brightness of the house. He had never seen such a large house in his life. He originally thought that only villas would be so spacious. How spacious can a one-story building be? Now I feel that I have little experience. This is the only apartment on one floor. How can it not be spacious?

While Yan Min was stunned, Li Cuiyun was finally called out of the kitchen by her husband. She was very happy to see Zhou Yi and wiped her hands with her apron, but before she could do it, Zhou Yi had already taken the initiative to give her a hug.

Then he introduced Yan Min to his mother. Schulze had already met him and there was no need for an introduction.

This is Yan Min, my teammate in Dortmund and the national team. Zhou Yi pointed at Yan Min.

Yan Min bowed shyly: Hello, uncle and aunt.

I've seen you, you're welcome. We've all heard Zhou Yi talk about you. Being able to play in Europe is very impressive... Li Cuiyun praised.

Yan Min did not hold his neck high this time and said that he was indeed very powerful. Instead, he said humbly that he was still far from Zhou Yi... Of course, he was also telling the truth, and it was not considered modest, because he was still far from Zhou Yi. .

Li Cuiyun exchanged a few words with Yan Min and then returned to the kitchen. After all, she was still responsible for cooking.

Before leaving, she complained to her son: The kitchens of foreigners are all open, the range hood is not good, and the room smells of cigarette smoke...

Zhou Yi smiled and sniffed hard, then looked intoxicated: It's okay, it's okay, it smells delicious!

This is the taste of my mother, the taste of home, and the taste of my hometown.

Yan Min couldn't help but sniff and nodded, it was indeed very fragrant.

Although it's not my mother's taste, but... the taste of Chinese food, for a foreigner, this is the taste of my motherland.

When eating, that feeling is more obvious.

Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, Yan Min didn't move his chopsticks in a hurry, but was stunned.

Zhou Yi thought he was worried about excessive fat and calories, so he comforted him: Professional players should strictly avoid food, but you don't have to worry, because you may only have this opportunity in the past few years in Dortmund. Thanks to you, I Just this once. Ha!

Li Cuiyun also enthusiastically picked up vegetables for Yan Min: Here, try this scrambled egg with tomatoes. I don't know if you are used to it...

Yan Min took a bite, then lowered his head and did not move his chopsticks.

Li Cuiyun was very surprised: What's wrong? Is it not to your liking? Then she took a bite and said to herself: There is salt...

But she immediately fell silent, because she guessed the reason.

This kid Yan Min is probably homesick...

No matter what, in Li Cuiyun's view, Yan Min was still a child, a child who was far away from his parents in his hometown and came to this unfamiliar place to work hard... Li Cuiyun suddenly thought of his son Zhou Yi. Although now mother and son can meet each other in this spacious and bright luxury apartment in Dortmund, happily eating home-cooked meals.

But when Zhou Yi was working hard alone in Dortmund, the thought of the two of them thousands of miles apart was a torment for Li Cuiyun. She never asked her son whether he missed home in Germany because she did not want to interfere with his determination to work hard in Germany. Now that we are all out, if we don’t live a decent life, wouldn’t it be a waste of time and karma?

Li Cuiyun didn't know if Yan Min could have such a bright future as her own son, but she thought that at this time, Yan Min's mother, who was far away in China, might have the same feelings as herself, hoping that her son could succeed, but she was missed. tortured by pain.

She wanted to comfort Yan Min, but before she could speak, Yan Min was already digging into the rice again, adding various vegetables to his bowl without politeness.

The way he was immersed in eating was exactly the same as when Schulze next to him ate the food cooked by Li Cuiyun for the first time.

Zhou Yi looked at Yan Min doing this next to him. He didn't tease him or advise him to slow down. Instead, he was just minding his own business as if no one else was around.

At this time, what Yan Min needs may not be enthusiastic greetings, but to let him eat quietly and concentrate on himself.

The taste of home-cooked food and the feeling of happiness in his stomach may be able to dilute his homesickness in a foreign land...
