"...In the just-concluded 2013-2014 European Champions League final, Dortmund, played by Chinese players Zhou Yi and Yan Min, defeated the La Liga giants Real Madrid with a score of 4:3 and successfully defended the Champions League championship. It broke the curse that no team has been able to successfully defend the title since the reform of the Champions League... But Zhou Yi was injured by his opponent at the last minute of the game..."

"...After Zhou Yi was injured, his injury quickly touched the hearts of fans and media across the country. When the World Cup was approaching, as the absolute core of the Chinese team, he encountered injuries... We don't know how serious the injury is. However, from the live broadcast of the game, we can see that Zhou Yi was raised by the unit price in the end... I hope there will be no big problems, I hope Zhou Yi will not miss the World Cup finals because of this..."

"In an interview after the game, Kavajal said that he did not intentionally hurt others. He was very sorry for Zhou Yi's misfortune. He also said that he had called Zhou Yi to apologize and was forgiven by Zhou Yi... But despite this, Kavajal's social media account still poured into many angry Dortmund and Chinese fans, who condemned Kavajal's unnecessary tackle action at the last moment..."

"... Zhou Yi, who was tackled by Carvajal at the last moment of the Champions League final, has already been diagnosed. The fifth metatarsal bone of the left foot is contusion - fortunately, it is not a fracture, nor is it a fracture, otherwise Zhou Yi will say goodbye to this World Cup completely. Unfortunately, the doctor predicts that even if Zhou Yi can recover from injury, he will be able to play in the third group stage or knockout stage game... And at that time, it is hard to say whether the Chinese team that has lost Zhou Yi can enter the World Cup knockout stage. In addition, Zhou Yi will also miss all the preparation time for training, which means that he cannot cooperate with his teammates and strengthen his tacit understanding. He cannot train and compete for a long time, and what state can he do if he plays? This is what everyone is worried about..."

"...Lippi has flew to Portugal immediately after the Champions League final and went to meet Zhou Yi. One of the two closed the door and no one knew what they were talking about... Later, when Lippi was interviewing reporters, he said that neither he nor the national team would give up Zhou Yi. Although he didn't know how long it would take Zhou Yi to return to the court, he had decided to take Zhou Yi to Brazil. And he said that Zhou Yi also agreed to this arrangement..."

"...Lippi said that he would wait with the team for Zhou Yi to pay, as if to prove his determination. He has decided to hand over the Chinese captain's armband to Zhou Yi. According to the country's insider, this decision has also been approved by all the players of the team..."

"... Some people are worried that Zhou Yi's absence from the training and warm-up match before the World Cup will affect the team's preparations. Lippi did not respond positively to this. There are indeed many such concerns online now. The Chinese team's previous tactics were obviously built around Zhou Yi. As a result, Zhou Yi was unable to participate in the training and warm-up match due to injury. So should the Chinese team's tactics be adjusted and should the personnel arrangement be reconsidered? These are all things Lippi needs to consider... It can be said that Zhou Yi's injury caught Lippi off guard. Of course, it also caught all of our Chinese fans off guard..."

"... Zhou Yi appeared at the national team's training camp in Spain today. He was dressed casually, but the crutches in his hands were very dazzling... He was wearing special protective shoes on his left foot and couldn't see the situation inside. But he was so heartbreaking... The only comforting thing was that Zhou Yi's mood looked OK, not as bad as everyone imagined. He even smiled and waved at the camera of the reporter. He chatted with Lippi on the side of the training ground for a while, and then chatted and laughed with his national teammates. Judging from his expression, it was impossible to tell that he was injured..."

"... Zhou Yi then accepted an interview with the media. He said that he would gather with the team when the team went to Brazil. As for whether he could catch up with the World Cup, Zhou Yi expressed confidence in this. At the same time, he also responded to the views online. Some netizens believed that Zhou Yi's injury was related to Dortmund's use of him with high intensity and high load this season. Zhou Yi expressed his gratitude to netizens for his concern, but he did not agree with this statement. This injury was just an accident, and an accident could happen under any circumstances, and it had nothing to do with the club's use of him..."

"...He Ying said in an interview that Zhou Yi's injury will definitely have some adverse effects on the team, but he is also very confident in his teammates. He said that they will definitely persevere until Zhou Yi returns..."

"Sun Pan joked that after Zhou Yi was injured, it was his turn to show off... However, the Chinese team really relied on him very much after losing Zhou Yi. There are signs that Lippi is studying to let the Chinese team play a defensive counterattack... After losing the core of the organization, playing a defensive counterattack is indeed the most likely tactic for Lippi to implement at present... When Zhou Yi returned to the court, whether he was facing his last game in this World Cup really depends on Sun Pan's performance..."

"... Zhou Yi's injury is not only very concerned about domestic media and fans, but also foreign media. Especially this World Cup and the Chinese team were divided into three countries in a group. The Chinese team's training camp happened to be in Spain, so there were suddenly many Spanish reporters outside the training camp these days. The Dutch media also followed and reported Zhou Yi's injuries in succession... It can be seen that they are very concerned about Zhou Yi's ability to catch up with the World Cup, especially the game against them..."

"... Today, the Chinese national men's football team announced the final 23-man list of the finals of the Brazil World Cup, and Zhou Yi was among them. It seems that the national team still had high hopes for Zhou Yi's recovery... At the same time, due to Zhou Yi's accidental injury, Zheng Zhi, who was not sure whether he could go to Brazil, was also on the list. With Zhou Yi's absence, he might have to take over the task of organizing the offense..."

"... Today, the whole Chinese team set off for Brazil. They will do the final training there, and there is also a warm-up match waiting for them. We saw Zhou Yi at the airport. He was with his teammates on crutches and wearing a uniform uniform. In addition, we also saw his girlfriend Cortana next to him, and Cortana will also go to Brazil with the team. It is said that this was specially approved after Zhou Yi was injured, and the Chinese Football Association and the national team coaching team discussed. She will be responsible for Zhou Yi's injury recovery treatment... Because Cortana is an excellent physiotherapist and team doctor at the Dortmund club, and she is also Zhou Yi's lover. With this relationship, I believe that under the care of her love, Zhou Yi's injury should improve faster..."

"...The Chinese team has arrived at their training camp in Brazil, Victoria... The Chinese team got off the plane and got warmly welcomed by the local Chinese delegation at the airport. They presented a garland for the Chinese team's players. Zhou Yi was interviewed by reporters again at the airport. He was full of confidence in his ability to catch up with the World Cup. He said: '...We are here to make history. I believe my teammates, we will never go home early after playing two group games...'"

"...The Chinese team has been in Brazil for almost a week, and it is getting closer and closer to the opening of the World Cup. Zhou Yi has been training alone in the gym these days. The Chinese team's physical coach Li Te and his "private physiotherapist" Cortana accompanied him throughout the whole process... Although he can't touch the ball training, he can do physical training and maintain his physical condition... But everyone is still worried. Until now, Zhou Yi has not been training with balls and practiced with the whole team. What kind of condition can he do even if he returns?"

"There is a good news that we never saw the protective shoe on Zhou Yi's left foot again. From Zhou Yi's walking movements, there was almost no abnormality. It seemed that Zhou Yi's injury was recovering at a speed that made us happy. But walking is fine not to say that running and playing football is fine. After all, the little toe on the left foot needs to touch the ball frequently. If the ball hurts when touching the ball, it is obviously impossible to play on the game..."

"...There are five days left before the opening of the Brazilian World Cup and six days left before the first game of the Chinese team in this World Cup. Zhou Yi has not yet conducted ball training, which makes people have to make a big question about whether he can catch up with the World Cup... We interviewed several national team players, and they avoided whether Zhou Yi can catch up with the game. Zhou Yi's injury seems to have become a sensitive topic for the national team..."

"When Lippi was interviewed by us, he said that he was still full of confidence in Zhou Yi, but he hoped that the reporter would not pay too much attention to Zhou Yi's injury, because it was not fair to other national team players..."

"...The Chinese team has just finished its last warm-up match. This warm-up match has attracted much attention. The performance of the Chinese team in this game allows people to see how they will perform in the World Cup. With the fact that Zhou Yi will miss at least two group matches, what performance the Chinese team without Zhou Yi can do directly determine whether the Chinese team can go further in this World Cup... This warm-up match may allow everyone to see some clues. The opponent of the Chinese team in this warm-up match was at 20 that year.

2020. Costa Rica, the same group opponent in the Japanese and Korean World Cup... In the end, with He Ying's goal, the Chinese team shook hands with Costa Rica 1:1. This result was not satisfactory, but in the game, we can still see Lippi's idea, but he wanted to base himself on defense and counterattack. During the game, the Chinese team used direct passes and long passes to launch attacks many times, but the turnover rate was very high. It can also be seen that this team has not yet been well connected to this new tactic. After all, they have always played the pass and control tactics before..."
