Chapter 63 Sparks in the Darkness
Duan Xin is right. For most Chinese fans, Zhou Yi's substitution means that the game is over. ←,.
Although there is about half an hour left in the game.
For example, Zhou Jianliang is the representative of it.
Seeing Zhou Yi's fate, Zhou Jianliang got up and left the sofa.
"Why are you doing?" asked his wife Li Cuiyun.
"Wash and get ready to go to bed."
"The competition is not over yet..."
"My son is over, what else can I see?" Zhou Jianliang went into the bathroom without looking back.
The outcome of this game is no longer suspense. For him, the remaining half hour is garbage time, and he cannot see his son's performance, sitting in front of the TV is just a waste of time.
It's better to go to bed early.
Seeing her husband leave the table, Li Cuiyun thought for a while and turned off the TV directly.

Although for many Chinese fans, they no longer care about the rest of the game.
But Gotze cares, very much.
After playing two games, Zhou Yi had completed three assists and one goal. When he came to the first team with him, he was given more hope than Zhou Yi himself, but he still had no achievements.
The young Gotze has a comparison object and a goal to catch up in his mind.
That is Zhou Yi.
He wants to prove that he deserves everyone’s expectations of him, that of those cool names, such as “genius who meets once in thirty years”…
So Gotze performed very hard after playing.
He and Zhou Yi are actually different types, and their styles and roles are different.
Klopp's request for him is to use breakthroughs and shots to maintain a threat to Nuremberg goal after he comes on the court, and tells him to let go of the kick and play as much as he wants. Even if he makes a mistake, it doesn't matter if he loses the ball.
Anyway, the team is leading the score now, and there is no suspense in the outcome. So players don’t have to bear too much pressure.
This is a good thing for the players.
But Gotze doesn't think so, because it also means that he has not been placed in any hope.
Even if others no longer think there is any need to work hard in this game, he still has to do his best to show himself.
For others, this is garbage time, but Gotze cherishes this half hour very much.
But Gotze was not very lucky. He had several successes and several beautiful shots. But the goal was a little bit worse.
Although commentator Marcel Leif praised Gotze's performance and the fans in the stands were not stingy with applause at him, Gotze himself was still not satisfied.
Of course, this may also be related to the fact that after Zhou Yi left the court, Dortmund led Nuremberg in a big score, and other players were relieved. After all, they just need to keep the situation and no longer need to consider taking risks to score goals.
In the end, in this game, Dortmund defeated Nuremberg 5-0 at home.
After the game, Zhou Yi was once again selected as the best player of this game by the German media.
He has made the best in two consecutive games, and Zhou Yi has already confirmed the title of "genius supernova". No one will worry that he is a flash in the pan.
Klopp was also asked questions about Zhou Yi by reporters at the post-match press conference.
"I personally decided to sign Zhou Yi. He was still an unknown person at that time. I was very happy with Zhou Yi's current performance, but I was not surprised because I knew that I had such ability."
Klopp's words were all surprised that the Chinese and German journalists were surprised that Zhou Yi was actually Klopp decided to sign?
Previously, Chinese media believed that Zhou Yi was attracted by Dortmund because of his outstanding performance in the reality show and Dortmund. German media only believed that Zhou Yi was one of the achievements of Dortmund's global excellence in poaching outstanding talents.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi's joining even alarmed the first-team head coach Klopp.
Everyone suddenly felt that Zhou Yi’s success was not accidental, but inevitable…
I also understand why Zhou Yi was transferred to the first team for only half a season in the youth team, and he couldn't play in the first team for five months, and he had not been transferred to the youth team or reserve team by Klopp.
Because Klopp has always attached great importance to and optimistic about Zhou Yi!
This guy Zhou Yi...even if he doesn't make a name for himself now, he will make a name for himself sooner or later!
Zhou Yi performed so well in this game. In fact, the person who was happiest was not Zhou Yi himself, but the Chinese journalists who were waiting in Germany all the way.
This makes their waiting and the difference fee expenditure in Germany worth it.
When Chinese football is so dark, there is still a spark in the distant Germany that can bring some warmth to Chinese fans.
Chinese journalists sincerely hope that Zhou Yi can continue to maintain this momentum in Germany.
During the post-match mixed zone interview, almost every Chinese reporter would give him a thumbs up, encourage him, praise him, and cheer him on him.
This is really similar to the Olympics, and Chinese journalists will cheer for athletes in their country.
But in the football world, Chinese journalists rarely have such opportunities.
Because in this world, no Chinese players can make them cheer without reservation.

In China, Zhou Yi's second game was also after Westphalon's first time, which triggered everyone's attention.
Zhou Yi appeared on the bench before, and it was a bit sudden, and many people might not have time to see it. But this time the TV station promoted Haole Live in advance, and more people were waiting in front of the TV.
Before the game, some people were worried that such huge attention would turn into huge pressure, which made Zhou Yi perform poorly.
But after watching the game, everyone knew that the boy on TV seemed to have no idea what "pressure" and "tension" were.
His performance on the court was as normal as breathing and eating.
Those who were worried about him before were excited and laughed and shook their heads.
Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in the second game gave the media more room for hype, and the discussions on the Internet were more lively.
In the professional sports forum, Zhou Yi's name once again slaughtered the list.
Everyone was discussing Zhou Yi's performance in this game and what level he could finally reach.
Some people also compare Zhou Yi with Fabregas. They are both midfielders and both become famous at a young age. Now, Fabregas in Arsenal is at its peak and in its best condition. They have grown into the leader of Arsenal.
Many Chinese fans hope that Zhou Yi can become the leader of the club and also the leader of leading the national team.
However, in a large number of Zhou Yi names, some people also mentioned He Ying.
When he went abroad to study abroad, He Ying was much more popular than Zhou Yi. After all, he joined a wealthy family like Barcelona. Besides, He Ying was a little famous before going abroad. In the professional fan circle, he was favored by Chinese fans a few years ago, hoping that he could become a leader in Chinese football in the future.
However, after going to Barcelona, He Ying gradually returned to silence.
On the contrary, Zhou Yi emerged and became a dark horse in everyone's eyes.
Now that Zhou Yi is incredible, He Ying naturally becomes the background board.

"Xiao Li, your son is amazing!" In the office, Lao Sun once again took the Qingyang Daily and said to Li Cuiyun. "Today, the daily newspaper used a full page to report on your son!"
When he said this, he trembled the newspaper, and there were only his voice and the sound of the newspaper in the office. But now he and Li Cuiyun are not the only ones in the office, but everyone else is present, but no one says anything.
How do you say something at this time?
A week ago, I was embarrassed to look for Li Cuiyun, but now I have been slapped in the face for two consecutive weeks.
"Qingyang Daily"! That's a party newspaper. The party newspaper used a whole page to publish news about Li Cuiyun's son. For these people who work in offices, what else is more glorious than this?
Facing Lao Sun's praise, Li Cuiyun smiled and said, "He did perform well."
Without Chinese modesty, he accepted all the praises others have given to her son frankly.

This Monday, Zhou Jianliang no longer needs to distribute newspapers to his colleagues, but when he came to the unit, he came to him and gave him a newspaper: "Old Zhou, look, your son has been on the Qingyang Daily! It's still a whole page! It's amazing!"
Zhou Jianliang took the newspaper with a smile: "Don't I mind if I take it to read it?"
"Don't mind, don't mind, just watch it!" The colleague waved his hand. "But you have to help me find your son to ask for his signature. My son is now a loyal fan of your son!"
"Okay, no problem! You can do as many servings as you want!"
Now, every Monday, the morning when you end your two-day holiday and start working, it becomes Zhou Jianliang’s happiest day.

"Zhou Yi is really amazing! He played at Dortmund! And he assisted twice in ten minutes, which was so amazing!"
"When I first watched that reality show, who would have thought that a student who became a monk could reach the height he is today?"
"I'm afraid no one can think of that show. That show is also a weird one! No one went there at the beginning, but five successful overseas students were released in one breath. I wanted to go to this second season but found that they didn't want it anymore, alas!"
"Yes, yes, it suddenly became a hot item. Everyone wants to go, and the competition becomes fierce..."
Three or five teammates walked over Liang Qiqi, discussing the recent hot events in football while walking.
