Champion’s Heart

After Royce scored, it completely killed the suspense of this game-in fact, there was no suspense before, but in theory, Arsenal still had the possibility of equalizing the score. But now it's not even theoretically possible.

The remaining dozens of seconds were spent by the Dortmund fans cheering and celebrating.

When the referee blew the full-time whistle, the cheers of the Dortmund fans reached a climax.

The game is over! Dortmund won a crucial game at home for qualifying for the Champions League group! They defeated Arsenal 3:1 at home!

The TV broadcast focused the camera on Yan Min.

... Yan Min, who came on as a substitute, changed the direction and result of the game. He was a major contributor to Dortmund's ability to win Arsenal at home! Marcel Leif spoke highly of Yan Min's performance.

Yan Min in the camera raised his arms and shouted, celebrating the victory.

Then he was hugged by Zhou Yi.

What a boy, you stole my limelight! Zhou Yi smiled and patted Yan Min on the head. how do you feel?

Yan Min smiled and said to Zhou Yi: It's so cool! Haha! It's so cool!

Seeing Yan Min looking so happy, Zhou Yi originally wanted to remind him to pay attention to his speech and behavior when facing reporters later. But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense to tell Yan Min this now. Maybe this is Yan Min's style? Everyone has their own style. You can't ask others to be consistent with your own style. What he wants to do is his business and he has no control over it.

Moreover, the football world is actually not as complicated as anyone imagines. As long as you perform well, no matter how many mistakes you make off the court, you can still win the respect of others.

This is a cruel world where the winner takes all, but it is also a good place where the capable live.

So Zhou Yi just patted him on the shoulder and said to him: Come on! But don't get carried away!

Yan Min nodded: I know, I know Zhouyi!

Sure enough, Yan Min was soon dragged to the comprehensive area by reporters for an interview.

Zhou Yi watched from a distance as Yan Min stood in front of the camera lens with his hands behind his back, answering reporters' questions. There was no shy or unnatural expression on the boy's face.

This guy has a great future...

Zhou Yi sighed in his heart.

※※※

After Yan Min finished the interview, Zhou Yi was also pulled over.

Although it was Yan Min who stole the show in the end in this game, Zhou Yi's performance was actually also very good, even more important.

In the first half, his goal helped Dortmund take the lead. In the second half, when the team was in trouble, although he was deeply surrounded, his performance was still very stable, constantly helping Dortmund find scoring opportunities. In the end, he assisted Yan Min and scored a very beautiful goal.

The goal that finally sealed the victory was also instigated by him.

Without Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in the midfield and backcourt, even if Yan Min played, he would be nothing more than a headless fly.

I would like to ask Zhou Yi, after winning this game at home, has Dortmund's prospects for qualifying for the group become brighter?

It cannot be said that it has become brighter,

But it's better than losing the game. There are two games to come, and we will go all out to win just like this game. Zhou Yi replied.

Yan Min performed very well after coming off the bench. Do you think he will start in Dortmund next? The reporter then asked a somewhat tricky question.

This question seems quite ordinary, but considering Zhou Yi's identity, it is difficult for him to answer.

From a positional perspective, Yan Min has many competitors, including Aubameyang and Kuba.

After all, the number of people who can play in the game is limited. If someone performs well and gets more playing opportunities, it means that someone's playing opportunities will be weakened.

Given Zhou Yi's current important position in Dortmund, it is not an exaggeration to say that his opinions can affect the head coach's staff arrangements.

If Zhou Yi publicly supports Yan Min, what do Aubameyang and Kuba think?

Will this affect the unity atmosphere within the team, will it affect Yan Min's relationship with other teammates, will it make people think that Yan Min can occupy a place in Dortmund only with Zhou Yi's support?

Therefore, Zhou Yi cannot express his position casually.

But this problem is not difficult for Zhou Yi.

You must know what Zhou Yi is best at as a midfielder, of course passing.

So when the reporter kicked the ball, he quietly kicked it to the head coach Klopp: Is this something the head coach needs to consider? I won't think about it that much.

As for how Klopp will face such a problem, Zhou Yi doesn't care...

※※※

Klopp was indeed asked similar questions by reporters at the post-match press conference.

Yan Min performed well in this game, which is certainly worthy of joy, but Aubameyang's condition is not bad, and there is also Kuba, a veteran of the team, whose performance has always been very stable.

Now there are three players on the left, how will Klopp arrange it?

Klopp is also very cunning, not making any public promises in front of the media and not revealing any of his true thoughts.

This issue will naturally be considered by the coaching staff and I, but what I want to say is that I am very happy to see more and more outstanding players in the team, even if they are all in the same position. I believe that there is no one among my players. No one is afraid of competition. Because before this, our lineup has always been arranged like this. He said.

After the game, some media analyzed for Klopp that Yan Min's outstanding performance is definitely good news for Dortmund, which needs to fight on multiple fronts this season. Because Klopp is also implementing rotation in Dortmund anyway, in fact, except for a few people, no one is definitely the starter.

So for Klopp, he does not have any happiness worries.

As long as Dortmund performs well on all fronts this season, players like Yan Min will have no worries about not playing.

Just as Dortmund defeated Arsenal 3:1 at home, Napoli also defeated Galatasaray 3:2 at home.

As a result, Arsenal and Napoli both have nine points and are currently the top two in the group. Arsenal is temporarily ranked first because of its advantage over Napoli. With the victory in this game, Dortmund's points became six points, ranking third in the group, but they are three points away from first and second place, and there is still hope of qualifying.

If Dortmund loses to Arsenal at home, it will be very slim to advance from the group.

With two rounds left in the group stage, they will face Napoli at home and Galatasaray away.

With only three points behind, as long as Dortmund can beat Naples at home, they can tie it with Naples, and then the final round will decide whether they can qualify from the group.

This shows how crucial and important Dortmund's victory over Arsenal is now.

Yan Min, who created this crucial victory, naturally became the center of attention after the game and became famous almost overnight.

Chinese and German media lined up to interview him, and his photos frequently appeared in German media.

Being famous is a good thing, but some people worry that he will be carried away by the fame.

There are too many examples in football, especially Chinese football, of people who became famous at a young age and then fell into disgrace.

On the Internet in China, some fans even begged the Chinese media to stop praising Yan Min.

However, it can be seen from Zhou Yi's training within the team that Yan Min did not seem to be affected. His frequent exposure in front of the media did not affect his training. At least he was training very seriously and hard as before, and was full of energy. He didn't slack off in training just because of his outstanding performance in a game.

After playing against Arsenal, Dortmund welcomed Wolfsburg in the league. This time they were visiting Pisa.

Considering that he had just finished the Champions League group match with Arsenal, Klopp adopted rotation in this game.

What the Chinese media and fans are most concerned about is no longer whether Zhou Yi can play, but whether Yan Min can get the chance to start.

In the eighteen-man roster announced the day before the game, Yan Min was among them.

However, the 18-man roster is not the same as the final starting roster. Chinese fans and media believe that Yan Min's performance in the Champions League group stage is a natural choice for him to be included in the 18-man roster. There is no suspense about it.

The key is whether to start or not.

They won't know the starting lineup until two hours before the game starts.

But before that, various media can speculate on the starting lineup for this game.

Yan Min's name is among the starting lineup speculated by most media.

It's very simple. Yan Min performed very well in the last game, and he came on as a substitute. There is no problem with his physical fitness. This game does not require rest. In this way, everyone really can't imagine that Yan Min has to play as a substitute. reasons.

Finally, Dortmund announced the starting list for this game two hours before the game. As everyone predicted, Yan Min's name was clearly on the list.
