Soon, about three minutes later, when the dead ball appeared on the court, the fourth official on the sidelines raised the sign.

Hummels stood beside the fourth official and was ready to appear.

"Ah, it seems that Zhou Yi is going to be replaced..." Duan Xin felt a little regretful. When he said this, the TV broadcast also gave the close-up shot to Zhou Yi's face.

Even the director of the game knew that Zhou Yi was going to be replaced, so he gave Zhou Yi a special shot.

"No matter what, the performance is still very good. I think even if Dortmund loses, he can not be responsible for failure." Tao Wei said. "The first Ruhr derby was not at all stage frightened. Zhou Yi's performance is gratifying."

"But after Zhou Yi came to an end, Dortmund's attack..." Duan Xin was a little worried.

"There is no way to do this. Zhou Yi's physical fitness has always been his weakness. If you can't run on the court, it will be useless." Tao Wei said.

"Oh, this is really..." Duan Xin sighed regretfully. Although he is a supporter of Bayern Munich, when it has nothing to do with Bayern Munich's interests, he still hopes that Dortmund can win. After all, Zhou Yi is a Dortmund player.

Zhou Jianliang in front of the TV was also very sorry. It would be fine if it was a normal game, but the key was the Ruhr derby!

In such a critical game, his son had to leave early due to physical fitness reasons. How could a father not regret it?

But what's the use of regret?

Marcel Leif also summarized Zhou Yi's performance in this game: "It seems that Zhou Yi is going to be replaced. His performance in this game is very outstanding. Dortmund is now able to tie Schalke 04. It can be said that Zhou Yi has made an indelible contribution. He forced a breakthrough into the penalty area, causing Schalke 04 central defender Borton to foul. He assisted Barrios with his back to goal. This is the first Ruhr derby that Zhou Yi participated in in the first team of Dortmund. It can be said that no matter what the final result of this game is, Zhou Yi can score a high score!"

"Zhou Yi's performance is already very good! It's amazing!" Mrs. Wagner said in front of the TV, slapped her with her hands and gave Zhou Yi an applause in advance.

Mark shot louder, and nodded desperately, expressing his agreement.

Cotana, sitting on the sofa, curled her lips, and began to think to herself that after Zhou Yi was over, she should no longer hear her mother and brother betray the boy endlessly, right?

※※※

Just when everyone thought Zhou Yi would be replaced, reality surprised them - after the fourth official raised the sign, the number of Santana to be replaced was shown on it, but the number of the player to be replaced next to it was not Zhou Yi's "23", but... "15"!

This is Hummels' number!

"Zhou Yi was not replaced?" Marcel Leif was surprised.

"Zhou Yi was not replaced?!" Duan Xin was still excited while surprised.

Zhou Yi was left on the court, which means more possibilities, and it also means that Chinese fans can enjoy Zhou Yi's performance for a while!

They were not surprised that Hummels was replaced, because Hummels was not in good condition in this game. It was necessary to be replaced. Even if they expected that Zhou Yi was replaced in this substitution, Hummels should be replaced in the next substitution.

They didn't care much about Hummels being replaced, they cared more about Zhou Yi being left on the court.

"Is this what Zhou Yi communicated with Klopp just now? I just don't know whether this was Zhou Yi's decision or Klopp's decision... But no matter what, staying on the court is a good thing for us Chinese fans!" Duan Xin said excitedly.

※※※

Schalke 04's head coach Magath originally thought that Zhou Yi should be replaced. He was planning to make adjustments after this substitution and let the team siege Shahin.

But what surprised him was that it was Hummels who was replaced, not Zhou Yi!

He turned his head and looked at Klopp on the coach's seat next door.

Is this unwilling to give up the draw, and still want to win?

However, Zhou Yi’s physical fitness problem cannot be avoided...

Even if Zhou Yi stays on the court, he can't do anything in the last period of time. Is it useless?

In Magath's view, Klopp did not replace Zhou Yi at this time, obviously he had some ambitions for this game. But Magath was not afraid of anything, because with Zhou Yi's physical fitness, even if he continued to stay on the court, it would not help Dortmund. Instead, it would become a drag on Dortmund, leaving Dortmund with one less person in the game.

He even believed that the turning point of this game might be Klopp's decision. From his decision to keep Zhou Yi on the court, Dortmund would definitely lose!

Shahin was also surprised to see Hummels being replaced instead of Zhou Yi.

He turned his head and looked at Zhou Yi, who smiled at him: "Remember to pass the ball to me later, Nuri."

Shahin asked in surprise: "Can you still run?"

"I won't lose my chain at critical moments." Zhou Yi did not answer Shahin's question positively, so Shahin was still a little suspicious.

But if He Ying, Yang Muge, Sun Pan, Guo Nu and others could hear Zhou Yi's words on the scene, they would definitely not have any doubts about it.

When they were filming the reality show, Zhou Yi proved more than once that he was a reliable teammate at critical moments.

Although Zhou Yi stayed on the court, he really had to face physical fitness issues. Everyone still had doubts when they saw him, thinking that Klopp letting Zhou Yi stay on the court was a very risky behavior.

So will Zhou Yi disappoint Klopp?

In Zhou Yi’s own opinion, physical fitness is certainly a problem, but not a fatal problem.

Although there is no physical punishment in the virtual space, Zhou Yi is still demanding himself with the physical laws in reality. Improving physical fitness is not a matter of overnight, and it requires long-term accumulation. So before quantitative change causes qualitative change, should we accept the setting that only plays seventy minutes in each game with peace of mind?

Of course, Zhou Yi would not accept it like this.

He has been practicing how to extend his game time as much as possible when his physical fitness is limited.

The total amount of physical energy is fixed and the competition time is also fixed. So how to use physical energy most efficiently in a fixed unit of time? This is the topic that Zhou Yi needs to study and experiment when competing in simulated space again and again.

Simply put, it is necessary to learn to allocate physical fitness reasonably.

When should you run and when should you leave? When should you have a fast pace and when should you have a slow pace?

Didn’t physical fitness coach Bartlett also say it? The physical fitness of a football game is not simply running ability, but includes the physical recovery ability.

How to reasonably arrange your body to recover your physical fitness during the game is also a compulsory course for high-level professional players.

If Zhou Yi wants to make himself a world-class player, this lesson must be learned.

No one told him exactly what to do. He started self-study in the simulation space. Anyway, he could perform a lot of repetitive competitions in a short period of time, and there were enough opportunities for experimentation and practice.

Unlike when he was in the reality show, he was the team's midfield core at that time, and because his teammates' strength was too different from their opponents, he had to deal with the ball frequently. So he had to run non-stop.

But at Dortmund, his teammates are also at a very high level, such as Groschloitz, and Shahin. He doesn't have to always catch the ball or pass the ball. He can even keep touching the ball for several minutes.

What do he do when he doesn't touch the ball?

Jogging, or even walking.

Carry out aerobic exercise, allowing the body to break down lactic acid and glycogen through aerobic metabolism, thereby replenishing energy for the body.

In the continuous simulation competition, Zhou Yi found the right time and rhythm to supplement physical fitness.

When he was inexperienced at the beginning, he would often stay behind to rest when he needed him to speed up and rush forward. As a result, he missed the opportunity and slowed down the offensive rhythm of the entire team. Or when he didn't need a lot of sprints and ran all over the field, causing his physical energy to be consumed in vain, and when he really needed it, he was powerless.

After continuous practice, Zhou Yi has now accumulated a lot of experience in this area.

At the beginning of this game, Zhou Yi intentionally distributed his physical fitness rationally.

For example, in the first half, Zhou Yi basically didn't play well because he was always put down by his opponents.

Many people only watched the first half and would definitely feel that Zhou Yi's physical confrontation ability was really weak and almost fell down when they hit him.

This is also why Schalke 04 fans are so dissatisfied with Zhou Yi falling in the penalty area and winning a penalty for Dortmund. Because they think Zhou Yi's falls many times before were too exaggerated and suspected of a fake fall, and this time the fall in the penalty area was undoubtedly a fake fall.

But in fact, Zhou Yi is not a fake fall.

He just didn't waste his strength and physical fitness and played "wrestle" with his opponents.

If you feel that you are unable to maintain balance, Zhou Yi will basically fall to the ground. Of course, he will try to poke the football away before falling to avoid the situation where the referee does not call Schalke foul 04 and easily hand over the ball.

The disadvantage of doing this is that it makes Zhou Yi look vulnerable. But there is a hidden advantage, that is, it has saved a lot of physical strength for Zhou Yi. You should know that physical confrontation also requires physical energy consumption.

Zhou Yi kept falling down, and his physical energy consumption was less than the entire game.

So now his physical energy reserves have not reached the red line.

If Schalke 04 thinks he can no longer run and stays on the court and can only take a walk, he doesn't mind giving Schalke 04 fans a big gift package.

PS, let me tell you good news to all the friends who are in short supply of books - Zhang Xiaohua is opening a new book!

It was Zhang Xiaohua who once wrote "The First Chaos in History"! Speaking of which, when I was writing "The Godfather of the Champion", I saw Xiaohua's "The First Chaos in History". It was amazing. I watched it for two days in one breath. If I hadn't updated it, I might have kept watching it. I laughed so hard that I couldn't stop.

That might be the funniest book I've ever seen on the Internet.

Because of this book, I met Xiaohua. I have been spelling, chatting, and fucking together for so many years, and witnessed his process from a monster to not messing with me.

Now, after waiting for almost a year, his new book "The Invincible King of Iron Palm" has finally been uploaded!

This is a great blessing for me, this pollen, so I can't wait to share it with my friends.

If you like a relaxed and pleasant style, Xiaohua's books must not be missed.

PS2, I think this name makes you speechless, please remember, this name is obtained by Butterfly Blue, an unreliable person!

PS3, but I personally like this name quite...
Chapter completed!
