Chapter 19 In order to stay in the first team
Zhou Yi's performance in Dortmund's first warm-up match was soon reported by Chinese journalists to return to China.
Because it is an informal game, this game is not broadcast on TV, so if domestic fans cannot watch the game on the spot, they can only understand Zhou Yi's specific performance in this game through domestic media reports.
At this time, the Internet new media fully utilized their advantage of publishing faster than traditional paper media and radio and television. At 11:30 on the same night in Beijing time, the fastest report appeared on the portal website, and was quickly forwarded by enthusiastic netizens to various forums and QQ groups.
"...In the afternoon of local time, Dortmund and Wolfsburg played a warm-up match in Switzerland. In this game, Chinese player Zhou Yi appeared on the court and was not replaced until the 57th minute. He was the longest player in the team, playing for nearly an hour... In addition to the long game, Zhou Yi also performed very well in the game. In the first half, he gave his teammates a lot of wonderful passes, creating multiple opportunities to score goals, and assisted Barrios in the 38th minute to score, completing his first assist in Dortmund!"
"...Zhou Yi was the only player in the second half who was still on the court. His performance was still outstanding in the second half. In the 56th minute, he suddenly stepped forward and received a pass from Kuba. He scored his first goal at Dortmund... We can say that Zhou Yi performed perfectly in his first game of the first team. If this is a formal game, he could be scored with the highest score in the team!"
Fang Shuai had already reposted the news to the player Zhou Yi's poster as soon as possible. He read this news many times and was very excited every time he saw it. Although there were only words, he still couldn't help but convert the words of these reporters into images in his mind, imagining Zhou Yi's heroic posture of playing football on the court.
He refreshed the web page, and under this news, there were already as many as five pages of replies. And it was not the kind of pure water-filled replies, and they were all very meaningful.
Almost most people are cheering for Zhou Yi and are happy for Zhou Yi's performance.
Of course, there are no other sounds.
After the forest grew, there were all kinds of birds.
As Zhou Yi was reported by domestic media, the number of followers of the player Zhou Yi's post bar increased sharply. The result was that in addition to the real Zhou Yi fans, some troublemakers also came.
They may be fans of other players, and they feel uncomfortable when they see the media praising Zhou Yi now. Maybe it is because of the black Chinese football. They can't stand all the good news of Chinese football.
At this time, they can't wait to jump out and show their calmness and wisdom and superiority in IQ, give guidance and rebuke everything.
"...It's just a warm-up match, the media brags so well. I'm ashamed of watching the 'highest score in the team'! Domestic media have no other skills, and they will brag, making all Chinese players like Messi and Ronaldo! I don't believe that Zhou Yi's ability is as powerful as the media brags, so why are there calmness and calmness, and how to cooperate and tacitly... I really brag and don't make drafts!"
Fang Shuai replied to him below: "Of course. This is just a warm-up match, but at least it is a good start, right? And isn't it better to perform well in the warm-up match than to perform worse in the warm-up match?"
He really thinks so. A good start is very important. It is said that everything is difficult to start, but the beginning of Zhou Yi is so smooth. It is always a good thing.

There was a goal and an assist in the game, and many times created scoring opportunities for teammates. No matter how you look at it, Zhou Yi's performance in this warm-up match was excellent enough.
So everyone will congratulate Zhou Yi when they see him.
Facing the congratulations and congratulations from his teammates, Zhou Yi had a smile on his face, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with his performance in the first game.
But after entering the virtual world that night, Zhou Yi frowned and his relaxed and proud smile in front of others disappeared.
"Chu Ling." He called out.
"Is there anything wrong? Zhou Yi?" Chu Ling said.
"Why did I play so many games with Wolfsburg in the virtual system, and I never feel exhausted for about sixty minutes?" He looked up at Chu Ling and asked.
This is a question he has been very concerned about since today's game. He has only played for more than 60 minutes in the game against Wolfsburg today and was unable to continue the game. He had to take the initiative to admit defeat and ask to be substituted.
But why did he play so many games in the virtual world? But there was no such problem once? What went wrong?
"Because I closed the punishment for physical decay." Chu Ling said.
"That's...what's it?"
"Although this system can perfectly simulate reality, I have not chosen to reflect reality in terms of physical strength." Chu Ling explained.
"Huh, why not?" Zhou Yi asked.
"If I follow reality physically, you will not be able to play one game a day in this space." Chu Ling spreads her hands. "Think about it, who can play one game a day in reality? It's like this every day?"
Zhou Yi was speechless.
"Uh, can you cancel this mechanism?"
"However, it's OK, but I don't recommend you do this." Chu Ling said.
"Why?"
"It's very simple. Why are you playing here? It's to accumulate enough game experience. So what's the significance of introducing real physical strength to your game in the virtual world?" Chu Ling asked back. "You can only play half-game in the virtual world, what helps you? Such 'real' has no value to pursue. The improvement of your physical fitness depends on your physical fitness training in reality, not on training here. You cannot improve your physical fitness. You should understand this very well."
Zhou Yi thought about it and it was true. This was originally a place to cheat, and it was really... meaningless.
"Okay, if you don't change, don't change, train!"

When Goze got up at 6:30, preparing to wash up, and then went to the team's morning exercise at 7:00, he was surprised to find that the bed next to him was empty, and Zhou Yi was not lying on it, and the quilt was lifted, which was a little messy.
"Zhou Yi?" He called out, and no one answered him.
"Are you in the toilet?"
Still no one answered him.
He rose from the bed and ran barefoot to the bathroom door, where there was no one.
Zhou Yi is no longer in the room.
Gotze scratched the back of his head.
Could this kid go to morning exercise?
But how is it possible? Doesn’t morning exercise start at seven o’clock?
Or...are you going for a morning jog?
But no matter how you think about it, Gece felt it was unlikely, because since he came to the first team to participate in the training camp, three practices a day were enough to make Zhou Yi not have the intention and strength to go to the morning jog. He had never seen Zhou Yi run in the morning jog in the first team.
So what exactly did Zhou Yi do?
Geze's doubts were revealed when he came to the gym with his teammates. Zhou Yi was indeed sweating profusely on the equipment...
"Zhou Yi?" Kevin Groschloitz was surprised when he saw Zhou Yi in the gym. He couldn't help but scream, "Why are you here?"
However, Zhou Yi ignored him, of course he didn't care about it on purpose. Instead, Zhou Yi really didn't have the strength to open his mouth and silence. He ran on the treadmill and was completely wet with the T-shirt on his upper body, tightly pressing against his body, revealing the muscle patterns inside. At the same time, a large area of it was wet with sweat on the treadmill conveyor belt under his feet.
Seeing Zhou Yi's appearance, Groschloitz couldn't continue to ask.
Not only him, but other Dortmund players were also staring at Zhou Yi who had obviously trained for a while. Gotze was in the crowd, stunned.
He didn't expect that Zhou Yi, who had woken up and disappeared, came to the gym in advance and sweated profusely!
This kid is really hard!
※ ※ ※
While having breakfast, Gece met Zhou Yi and asked him what happened during morning exercises.
Of course, Zhou Yi couldn't say that it was because of the punishment he lost with Klopp's bet, which was too embarrassing... He hoped that only the two of them knew about the gambling between him and the head coach.
So he said with a righteous look: "To stay in the first team, of course we have to put in more effort."
"Are you serious, Zhou Yi?" Goze asked in surprise.
"Nonsense! Otherwise, do you think I'm willing to get up so early? I'm getting up at 6:15 now!" Zhou Yi complained. "I want to sleep a little longer, and I want to relax, but in order to stay in the first team, if I don't pay some price now, then when the training camp is over, I may have to go back to u19. I don't want that!"
Seeing Zhou Yi’s passionate statement, Goce slapped: “Okay, I’m decided!”
"What did you decide?" Zhou Yi was surprised.
"I want to get up early and practice with you!"
Zhou Yi opened his mouth wide.
"Seeing you working so hard, I can't lose to you, Zhou Yi!" said Goce with fighting spirit.
Chapter completed!
