Chapter 52 Zhou Yi Answers Questions From Reporters
After the game, Zhou Yi was held back by all reporters, whether it was a German reporter or a Chinese reporter.
Everyone can see who the best performer in this game is.
Zhou Yi, who was still wet with his jersey, stood in front of the background board full of sponsor logos, and was bombarded by the reporters one after another.
"Did you think you would play in this game? No, you didn't expect it at all, it was a surprise." Zhou Yi shook his head, "But as a substitute, don't you just be ready to play at any time?"
"What did Klopp say to me before he appeared? He didn't say anything, just told me that the stage was ready and it was time to go on stage. Yes, the tactical arrangements were told by the assistant coach."
"How did you feel when you first appear? Well, it actually feels nothing different from the warm-up match, except that the number of spectators is higher. This is just a game, one of dozens of games in a season. I don't think it has any special significance. Of course, my personal performance is pretty good, and I'm very happy."
"What are your comments on your teammates? Everyone is very good, caring for me and cooperating with me. I know that I am just a newcomer and I am very happy to be able to get the support of my teammates. Without their support and cooperation, I would not have been able to perform like this. Football is a team sport after all, and it is important for a person to show off without the team to win."
"The goal kick? Of course! Of course I did it intentionally, and it was definitely not fooled!"
"How do you think about being booed in the backcourt? Whether to boo or not is their freedom (Hoffenheim fans), but not being booed is our freedom. Of course, they can boo everything they don't like, and that's fine. But we can also continue to be booed, after all, we don't play football to please them."
Zhou Yi answered everyone's questions one by one, neither being slow nor being humble nor being arrogant, and dealing with them very calmly. The Chinese reporter who did not ask questions looked at him next to him, surprised and appreciated his performance.
Professional players, especially Chinese professional players, always give people the impression that they are not well-equipped but have a simple mind. They always speak and do things with full complaints, which can easily lead to hatred and cause dissatisfaction.
Even those who are almost thirty years old are still the same.
But as a young man who is only eighteen years old, Zhou Yi has such a demeanor. It is amazing and admirable.
Finally, a reporter suddenly raised a difficult question.
"What do you think of Shahin's injury? As far as I know, your technical characteristics are the same as Shahin's injury. So is Shahin's injury a good thing for you? After all, you can be sure of your chance to get the next game?"
As soon as this question was asked, everyone around him became quiet.
First, someone looked at the questioner, a German reporter, and then they turned their attention to Zhou Yi.
Especially those Chinese journalists, they are waiting for Zhou Yi's answer.
How should Zhou Yi deal with this question? If it is not handled well, the good image he has accumulated in his previous answers may be ruined.
Zhou Yi looked at the German reporter who asked the question and said, "First, Nori and I have different positions and technical characteristics. He is the back midfielder and I am the front midfielder. I hope you can understand the different requirements for players in these two positions. I believe you understand because you are a professional football reporter."
After Zhou Yi said this, some of the Chinese reporters couldn't help but shouted ok.
The answer was reasonable and well-founded, neither humble nor arrogant. And he secretly mocked the other party.
Someone glanced at the Chinese reporter who was applauding, but the reporter didn't feel embarrassed. He slapped hard and said loudly, "Okay!"
Zhou Yi continued to look at the German reporter and said, "Second, whether I can play is decided by the coach. If you want to know whether I can play in the next game, then you should ask Klopp. Not me. Third, I know what your question means."
After saying that, Zhou Yi smiled slightly at the German reporter and then left the mixing area without thinking.
"A big tree attracts wind. After Zhou Yi became famous, such things must be inevitable. Fortunately, he dealt with them well." Looking at Zhou Yi's back, Chinese reporters discussed.
"Yes, yes, he performed pretty well just now. He was not angry by that bitch." When someone said this, he glanced at the German reporter who asked the question.
"That person is intentional, damn it! When you are finally happy, you always have this kind of idiot that makes you feel ruined!"
Someone spat at the back of the German reporter.
That night, Zhou Yi's performance against Hoffenheim had already appeared in the TV station's sports news, and his goal was replayed over and over again.
The name of "Zhou Yi" has also begun to be mentioned frequently. Even some announcers and hosts may not be able to pronounce his name well.
Although Barrios had helped him promote the nickname "wizard", that matter was still relatively niche after all, not many people knew about it and not many people cared about it.
This is the lace of football, not everyone who pays attention to football will know it.
But now it’s different. Zhou Yi once again showed his presence on football.
And in China, the media are even more crazy about it.
Especially the online media, they fully demonstrated their quick response. Five minutes after the game, the first news feature appeared on the portal.
This late at night, I don’t know how many portals there are. The office buildings of traditional media are brightly lit, and reporters and editors are working overtime.
The excited Chinese fans can't wait to read the news reports. They have posted on some professional forums to express their excitement.
In the Dog Child Football Forum, the Bundesliga section, Dortmund area and Chinese football section were all "slaughtered" by Zhou Yi's name.
All kinds of passionate words filled people's eyes.
"I am really convinced. Zhou Yi didn't expect it to be so amazing when he first appeared! To be honest, I feel like I've experienced a beautiful dream now!"
"Are there any experts who can translate foreign forums. How did the media evaluate Zhou Yi's performance in this game? I really want to watch it!"
"Latest news, the German media has already given the score for this game. Zhou Yi, who came on as a substitute, got a high score of one point! It is the best in the game! He only played for twenty-five minutes, but won the best in the game! It's amazing! In addition, let me give you some popular science. Germany's rating is a five-point system, with the highest one point, and five points are the worst. So being able to get one point Zhou Yi's show is perfect!"! Zhou Yi is **!"
"How did the German media evaluate it specifically?"
"It is said that the German commentator who was responsible for commenting on this game was impressed by Zhou Yi!"
"That's amazing!"
"Zhou Yi! New Hope for Chinese Football!"
"To be honest, I haven't paid attention to Chinese football for a long time. But Zhou Yi has rekindled my hope for Chinese football!"
"This game is enough for me to blow for a year!"
Fang Shuai was also constantly refreshing the web pages of the forum and post bar, and the QQ group had never stopped.
He stared at his slightly red eyes. It was already the second half of the night, but he didn't feel tired at all. He had already made up his mind to spend this night in the Internet cafe. Now he was reluctant to leave the computer. His fingers kept clicking one post after another, reading it greedily.
Tonight, many people may be like Fang Shuai, who can't fall asleep for a long time in excitement.
Because the game was held in the afternoon, after the game, the whole Dortmund team did not stop in Hoffenheim, but took a bus to the nearby airport and flew to Dortmund by plane.
Tomorrow one day, the eighteen players who go out with the team can rest at home without having to train.
On the plane, the players who won the game were still excited, they joked and played endlessly.
Zhou Yi, who performed well in this game, naturally became the focus of everyone's jokes.
"To be honest, Zhou Yi. Your goal was missed, right?" Groschloitz asked Zhou Yi with a serious look.
Zhou Yi shook his head: "What are you thinking about? Uncle? I have planned that ball for a long time!"
"What? You said you were confused?" Groschloitz nodded and said, "Well, I'll just say it, this is scientific!"
"Hello!"
The others laughed.
Then Groschloitz rolled up a magazine to make a microphone and went to "interview" Subotic: "Newen, when Zhou Yi and you were passing around in the backcourt, do you really want to kick the football out with a big foot?"
Barrios imitated the camera and pretended to carry a camera to shoot at Groschloitz.
Subotic also cooperated and answered Groschloitz in his interview. He looked at Barrios' "camera" and said, "I was really sweating at that time, you know. Every time Zhou Yi passes the ball to me, I really want to shout at him: 'Why do you always pass it to me? You can pass it to Matz!"
Everyone laughed so hard that they leaned back and forth.
Groschloitz turned his face and said to Barrios: "So we can be sure that Hummels had the same idea at that time. Why should I return it to me from the return! You can pass it to Nevin!"
He exclaimed in imitation of Hummels' emphasis.
Everyone laughed even more
Even Zhou Yi was laughing. The atmosphere in the team was so good after winning the game, and he liked this feeling.
At this moment, Groschloitz handed the "microphone" to Zhou Yi's mouth: "So Zhou Yi, do you have anything to say about this debut?"
The laughter gradually subsided in the cabin, and everyone looked at him, wanting to hear what he said.
Zhou Yi looked at the faces of his teammates. He said, "Actually, I just want to officially thank you everyone. Thank you for your support and help. Without you, I would not have performed so well, thank you!"
After saying that, he stood in the cabin aisle and bowed to everyone.
Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect that Zhou Yi would be so serious today.
Groschloitz was also surprised, he rubbed his nose: "Zhou Yi, you don't play the cards according to your rules."
Zhou Yi grimaced at Groschloitz: "How can you lead the nose away by yours? I want to have my own style!"
Everyone laughed again. (To be continued.)
