In the eighth round of the league, Dortmund will challenge Borussia Mönchengladbach away. Because it is a away game, the team must prepare for the away game one day in advance, so as not to rush from Dortmund to the city where the away team is located on the day of the game. That is too much trouble and the players' physical fitness cannot be guaranteed. After the training the day before the game, the players selected for the 18-man roster must set off with the team.●⌒,

Therefore, the coaching staff will announce the roster one day earlier than when they are at home.

After the training, everyone stood on the training ground, waiting for the head coach to announce the 18-man roster for the game.

Klopp did not take a piece of paper in his hands and read it, but looked at the players behind his hands, and called out the names one by one as if they were casually.

After a week of observation during training, he had already had a complete list in his mind and didn't need to be written on paper at all.

He shouted one by one, and Zhou Yi was not listening at all. He knew that he would definitely not be able to make the list.

But at this moment, suddenly...

"Zhouyi."

Before Zhou Yi could react, his teammates were in an uproar. Zhou Yi was actually included in the big roster?!

Goce turned his head and looked at Zhou Yi with a surprised look.

Klopp didn't care about the players' reactions at all, but continued to read the roster, but after he pronounced the name of the next player to enter the roster, he heard Zhou Yi scream: "Ah?!"

This is a bit funny, but no one in the team can laugh and they are all surprised.

"Coach, you called my name just now?" Zhou Yi confirmed at Klopp.

Klopp, who was interrupted, had to answer Zhou Yi: "Yes, you are included in the big list."

"Why?" Zhou Yi, who was confirmed, stuttered in surprise.

Klopp was so upset by Zhou Yi's remarks that he had never seen a player who had been selected for the roster and asked why.

"Why? Do you think you are not qualified enough, right? Then I'll pick you out of the list..."

"Oh no no no no!" Zhou Yi waved his hand quickly, "I don't mean that, coach! I'm very happy! Coach your arrangement must make sense, you are right..." Zhou Yi was so scared that he was incoherent.

Klopp snorted, ignored Zhou Yi and continued to read his list.

Zhou Yi clenched his fists and waved it slightly, venting his excitement in this action.

Seeing Zhou Yi's action, Gotze pursed his lips and finished reading the list, but he was not named Mario Gotze.

Zhou Yi was selected on the big list for the first time, and he will continue to watch from the wall.

Kevin Groschloitz patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder: "Congratulations, boy! You can watch the water dispenser on the sidelines!"

"Hey, Kevin. What are you going to have to congratulate when looking at the water dispenser?"

"Oh, you missed you so much before, but you didn't even have the qualifications to look at a water dispenser!" Groschloitz patted Zhou Yi's shoulder and smiled.

Zhou Yi frowned and said, "When I think so, it seems that this is really the case..."

"Look, being able to see the water dispenser is also amazing for you now! You should celebrate it!"

After coming out of the locker room, Zhou Yi thought about it and decided to call his parents. If he calls now, it would be less than 12 o'clock in the middle of the night in China and his parents shouldn't have been asleep.

Originally, he didn't want to play because he was just selected for the roster, which did not mean he could play, and it was very likely that he would not be able to play... If he told his parents excitedly and asked them to wait for an hour and a half in front of the TV, but did not see him appear at all, how disappointed would they be?

But he thought again. Even if he didn't tell his parents, they would know from the domestic media reports that he had entered the list. He would still be guarding in front of the TV and complain that he didn't notify them as soon as possible...

So Zhou Yi decided to tell his parents himself and make it clear to them so that they would not watch the game with too much hope.

While walking out, he took out his cell phone and dialed the landline phone at home.

Sure enough, before the phone rang three times, dad answered the phone: "Hey, who?"

"Dad, it's me."

"Hey. Son? What are you doing when you call at this time?"

"Hey, Dad, I don't seem to be happy about me calling..."

"No. When do you call your home now?... Is there anything wrong?"

"Yeah, let me tell you a message..."

"Speak good news or bad news first?"

"It's not good news or bad news, it's just a piece of news. I hope you can look at it with a normal mind..."

"You were transferred to the reserve team by the head coach?"

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes: "No!"

"Are you back to the youth team?" Dad guessed again.

Zhou Yi sighed: "Dad, can you not be so dark in your mind? I'll tell you something, and you'll guess to the bad side!"

"You said it yourself. If you look at it with a normal mind, it will definitely not be a good thing!" Zhou Jianliang felt wronged.

"I'm selected for the 18-man roster in the next game!" Zhou Yi decided not to go around with his father, so he should just say something.

"Ah?" Zhou Jianliang on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and his voice became octave higher: "Really?!"

Li Cuiyun, who was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, heard her husband's roar, and poked her head out and cast a curious look.

"What do you lie to you? It was announced at the end of training..."

Before Zhou Yi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Jianliang's excited voice: "That's great news! You're also lying to your father and playing this for your father! Hey!"

Zhou Yi sighed with his cell phone. After his father finished speaking excitedly, he said, "So I'll just say it, let you treat this news with a normal mind, Dad. I just made it into the big list, but it doesn't mean you can play. What are you doing so happy? And I have a high probability that I won't play at all, just sit on the bench for 90 minutes..."

"Then we can see you on TV too! The TV broadcasting camera will definitely sweep to the bench, right?"

Dad was stunned by Zhou Yi's question. They didn't care whether they could play or not. As long as they could see themselves appear... Whether they could play or not wasn't important to them at all, they just thought about themselves...

"After all, your mother and I haven't seen you alive for a long time..."

"Hey, Dad!" Zhou Yi's little touch just now was shattered by his father's words. "What does it mean that I haven't seen the living me anymore! Could it be that I'm dead?"

"Hey, it doesn't mean that you can only see your photos, but you can't even see you..."

Zhou Yi felt that the more his father said, the more strange he became.

"What are you talking nonsense!" Li Cuiyun, who had been listening quietly, slapped her husband and complained in a low voice. "Can you speak well?"

Zhou Jianliang felt a little embarrassed and whispered to his wife: "I'm a little excited, excited, ha..."

"Excellent!" Li Cuiyun gave her husband a blank look. "How old is he? He is not as stable as his son."

"He is heartless, okay? Didn't you say he was a flaw at the beginning? Why are you praising him again now?" Zhou Jianliang retorted.

"Dad, I can hear it!" Zhou Yi coughed.

Zhou Jianliang then realized that the phone was not hung up yet. He hurriedly said, "Anyway, son, it's a good thing to be on the roster, no matter whether you can play or not. This shows that you are one of the eighteen best performers among so many people in the first team. Let's not talk about it, your mother and I have to celebrate tomorrow, so you can go back quickly!"

"Dad, you want to drink again..." Zhou Yi found that before he finished speaking, his dad hung up the phone...

"Hey!" He shook his head and put away the phone.

※ ※ ※

When he returned to his residence, Zhou Yi was still thinking about what Groschloitz and his father said, and he always felt that something was wrong with what they said.

"Look at what you can celebrate with the water dispenser..." he muttered and pushed open the door.

"What are you celebrating?" A face suddenly appeared in front of him, shocking him.

"Wow!"

He was so scared that he jumped back and jumped out of the room. Then he saw clearly who was the person who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Hannah...you scared me to death!" Zhou Yi said, touching his chest.

"Ah, sorry, Zhou Yi." Hannah withdrew her body forward, "I..."

Before she could explain her explanation, Cortana in the living room said, "Hanna heard a strange noise at the door and thought it was a thief, so she wanted to come and have a look."

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes. How could he hear that Cortana was teasing him? Because when they came back, he said that.

"Ah. To put it this way, your German public security is really bad. You are thieves every few days..." Zhou Yi said.

Cortana didn't expect Zhou Yi to come back, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to snort.

Hannah quickly smoothed out the situation: "Zhou Yi. What did you mutter to celebrate just now? Is there anything to celebrate?"

"No, there's nothing to celebrate." Zhou Yi shook his head and walked towards his room. "It's just that I'm on the big list..."

"Wow!" This time it was Hanna's turn to scream, but her sudden scream still scared Zhou Yi again...

Zhou Yi looked back at Hannah and said helplessly: "Hannah..."

"Ah, sorry." Hannah stuck out her tongue. Then she held Zhou Yi's hand: "This is a good thing! Are you on the big list for the first time?"

"Well..." Zhou Yi was a little concerned about Hanna's hand. He looked down at him, and wanted to pull it out but was afraid that he would show his timidity instead...

"Then we're going to celebrate!"

"No... what's there to celebrate?" Zhou Yi felt so strange today. Why did everyone say they wanted to celebrate.

"Yes, it's just an 18-man roster. What's there to celebrate? It may not be possible to play." Cortana also said.

Although Cortana's views are the same as Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi felt that no matter how much he said this from Cortana's mouth, he always felt that it was wrong. He always had a sense of ridicule and teasing, so he replied in the same tone: "Thank you, thank you for your good words."
