Champion’s Heart

Yan Min tried his best to suppress the tears in his eyes the moment he tasted the scrambled eggs with tomatoes made by Zhou Yi's mother. ． The fastest update because he misses home and his parents.

In fact, for Yan Minlai, he thought that being homesick and missing his parents would never happen to him again. Unexpectedly, eating a home-cooked meal at Zhou Yi's house today actually opened his emotional valve.

He left his parents and hometown when he was very young, came to Shanghai, and made his own way. Although Shanghai has always been a central city, Chongming Island at that time was very deserted. He did not go anywhere except for training on the island every day, but stayed in the dormitory of the training base.

At first, he felt a little homesick for his parents, especially after his friends who came from other places like him all returned home through the godly relationship they recognized in Shanghai. All the local children in Shanghai also went home, and the training base became deserted. too much. At that time, the feeling of loneliness came like a tide and could drown him.

At this time, he ran out of the dormitory with the football in his arms and went to the field to practice passing and dribbling.

He completely immersed himself in the world of football, imagining that he was facing the entire opponent's eleven defenses on the court, and he had to get past them all. Some defensive players couldn't even get past them once, but had to get past them two or three times before finally being able to get past them. Shoot the football into the goal.

Only by immersing himself in the world he imagined could he forget his loneliness and missing his parents.

Over time, he became less homesick.

Every year except when he goes home for the Spring Festival holiday, he stays on Chongming Island to train, day after day, year after year.

But he is not training mechanically. He works so hard because he has an ambition in his heart, and it is indeed ambition. But to others, it might be a bit ridiculous, or at least it would feel that it is not commensurate with the efforts he has put in. He hopes that one day, he can buy a luxury house in prosperous Shanghai, and then bring his parents who worked hard to make money in his hometown to support him. When they come to Shanghai, they are not allowed to go out to work anymore, and they can enjoy the modernity and prosperity of Shanghai just like those Shanghainese people.

Today I came to Zhou Yi’s luxury apartment,

The ambition in Yan Min's heart began to beat again.

His requirements are not high. There is no need to buy a house in Dortmund, just buy it in Shanghai. If he could become famous like Zhou Yi and make a lot of money, buying a house in Shanghai wouldn't be a problem, right?

Mr. Schulze. Yan Min, who had been silent while sitting in his agent's car, suddenly spoke.

Um?

When can I play?

Schulze was surprised by Yan Min's question. He even turned his head three times in succession to look at Yan Min sitting in the passenger seat while driving.

In the past, when it came to whether to play, he had worried that the young and energetic Yan Min would be impatient. What surprised him about the structure was that Yan Min acted very calmly.

But why are you suddenly concerned about this issue now?

Only when you play in games can you get various sponsorship contracts, right? Yan Min asked.

This...theoretically is like this... Schulze replied.

The football world is a world that values ​​strength. If you have strength, the winner takes all. If you don’t have strength, no one will care about you. The stronger you are, the more rewards you can get. Relatively speaking, the weaker ones will naturally not make much money.

I want to play the game as soon as possible... Yan Min clenched his fists.

Schulze was in a dilemma: I'm not the head coach, so I can't solve this matter.

When Yan Min heard this, he loosened his fists in frustration. He knew that Schulze was right. Whether he could play or not, only Klopp had the final say. But from the current point of view, Klopp shows no signs of letting himself play.

He didn't know how long he had to wait. In the past, he felt that he had the patience to wait forever, but now, his heart was no longer as calm as before.

The advice I can give you is to train hard and be more active in team games. Then I hope Klopp can see your efforts and strength and give you a chance to play... Schulze drove.

Yan Min leaned back on the chair, feeling helpless. It seems that apart from this method, there is no other way...

Yan Min returned to the training field as hard and focused as ever. He couldn't work harder and focused because his attitude in training before was impeccable.

In fact, Dortmund's coaching staff sees these attitudes. But it doesn't mean you will get the right to play if you perform well in training. A team's lineup is determined by many factors. If the main lineup performs well and has no worries about physical fitness, why must substitute players be arranged to play at this time?

Even if it's a rotation, there are still people ahead of Yan Min in the starting order.

The competition in Dortmund's midfield and frontcourt is actually very fierce now. Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang, the two new players who joined the team, performed very well, and players like Kuba who have always been in the team are also very stable. Fortunately, Dortmund is now playing rotation, otherwise it would not be possible to arrange it.

If Yan Min wants to play, he may still need to wait for the opportunity.

Since Zhou Yi's parents came to the house, he has nothing to worry about in life, and he can put all his energy into training. Klopp was also very satisfied with Zhou Yi's performance in training. He knew that this was due to his parents, so he asked Zhou Yi sideways how long his parents would stay in Dortmund.

He was still a little disappointed when he heard that Zhou Yi might only last a month.

He felt that perhaps the most important thing for Zhou Yilai now was to get married as soon as possible.

As long as he has a stable family environment, he can put all his energy into play on the court.

By then, Dortmund will naturally be the biggest beneficiary.

But Klopp can't deal with this kind of personal emotional issue. Fortunately, even if Zhou Yi doesn't have a girlfriend, unlike players like Grosskreutz who like to hang out in nightclubs, he can manage his schedule and status well.

On September 13th, the fifth round of the Bundesliga will begin. Dortmund will face Hamburg at home on the evening of September 14th.

In the middle of next week, Dortmund will usher in their first game of the new Champions League season, an away game against Naples.

Considering that the game against Naples is more important, and considering that they have just played a national team game, many international players are relatively tired.

So in Dortmund's game against Hamburg, Klopp naturally used rotation.

Some of the international players who were not in very good physical condition did not appear in the squad for the game against Hamburg.

Because of this, Yan Min was put into the 18-man roster for the game for the first time.

This is Yan Min's first time since joining Dortmund.

Although Zhou Yi once criticized the Chinese media and asked them not to pay too much attention to when Yan Min will be included in the squad and when he can play.

But this news still makes the Chinese media and fans who are paying attention to the game very excited.

Before the game, for the first time, the number of Chinese reporters who went to interview Yan Min exceeded the number of reporters who interviewed Zhou Yi.

I'm very happy to be on the squad... Facing the reporters' microphones and cameras, Yan Min acted very happy just like himself.

I have just been stimulated to be selected into the squad, so of course I will be excited.

However, a reporter asked him: Do you think you will have a chance to play?

Yan Min was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: I don't know... Most of his happy expression disappeared.

At this time, Zhou Yi walked up, stood next to Yan Min, and said: I think the most important thing for Yan Min is not to think about when to appear, but to be yourself, and then wait for the opportunity to successfully seize it. Stay. Thank you everyone... Then he made a farewell gesture.

Seeing that Zhou Yi had come forward, the reporters couldn't continue to ask questions around Yan Min, so they had to step aside and watch Zhou Yi and Yan Min leave.

After leaving the circle of reporters, Zhou Yi said to Yan Min: Patience, patience, Yan Min. You signed a five-year contract with Dortmund, and the time is still very long.

Accompanied by Zhou Yi, Yan Min nodded, but had no words.

He understands the reason, but he still wants to get a chance to play as soon as possible. However, he didn't lose his temper because of this. He knew that Zhou Yi was doing it for his own good. He could be the second best, but he couldn't be ignorant.

※※※

In the match between Dortmund and Hamburg, although Klopp rotated the lineup, he would not completely send out the second team.

At least Zhou Yi appeared.

Taking into account Dortmund's lineup rotation, analysts before the game believed that Dortmund should be able to win this game at home, but the victory process will not go smoothly.

But the actual results were surprising.

In the first ten minutes, Hamburg, playing away from home, was evenly matched with Dortmund. It seemed that Dortmund was not falling behind. Dortmund also seemed to be really affected by the national team's game day and rotation. Although at their home court, the players The performance was not very exciting.

But in the 19th minute, Kuba opened the scoring for Dortmund with a beautiful long shot.

The deadlock on the field has been broken!

In the 22nd minute, just three minutes after Kuba's goal, Mkhitaryan expanded Dortmund's lead.

Dortmund leads by two goals!

However, the good times did not last long. In the 26th minute, Lin Zhijian, a German-Chinese player who plays for Hamburg, used the world wave to get a goal back for Hamburg.

This player has this oriental face, but he is not Chinese. He was born in Hamburg, Germany. His father is from Hong Kong, China, and his mother is from Germany. Although he is of mixed race, in terms of appearance, his mixed race is not very prominent.

This player has played for Hamburg's first team in the 2011-2012 season. He is not a newcomer to the Bundesliga.

Lin Zhijian was very excited after scoring the goal. This is his first goal in the Bundesliga.

CCTV commentator He Ping also briefly introduced Lin Zhijian's information and situation to the TV audience.

He also mentioned that he may play for the Hong Kong team, but he may also play for the German team. After all, he has been selected for the German U20 team.

As for playing for the Chinese national team...

In the past, Chinese fans might have looked forward to Chinese players like Lin Zhijian who were born and raised abroad and could not even speak Chinese to play for the Chinese team.

But now that Zhou Yi and others are here, everyone's interest in this kind of person has become much colder.

Moreover, after the Zhouyi, we had another Yan Min. Didn’t they have successors in the Zhouyi in the Ming Dynasty?

The great China still has to rely on itself.
