Chapter 98 Klopp's decision
Shahin's conservative troubles of various things have affected the team's performance. As the captain, Kyle had to talk to Shahin.
In fact, whether it is transfer or renewal, it is the player's own business, and others generally do not interfere too much.
But if it affects the entire team, as the captain, you cannot sit idly by.
In the locker room at Brakel's training base, Kyle found Shahin directly.
"Hey, Nuri. Can we talk?"
As soon as Shahin looked up, he knew what he was going to talk about. He spread his hands: "I'm sorry for my recent performance, captain. But please rest assured that I can adjust it. This is not a difficult thing for me."
Seeing Shahin take the initiative to express his opinion, Kyle was so worried that he would be shut back. Finally, he was stunned for a while before nodding: "Okay, I hope so."
Then he turned around and went back.
Shahin continued to be busy with his own affairs, but Zhou Yi looked at him twice.
Just when he was sleeping last night, Zhou Yi entered the virtual system and called out the data of his teammates. He found that Shahin's data was no different from that of some time ago and there was no sign of rising.
It can be seen from the numbers that at least the virtual Shaheen state that maps reality has not been restored.
Unlike what he said himself, he can adjust...
Numbers will not lie, so Zhou Yi feels that Shahin didn't tell the truth when facing Captain Kyle.
However, it is their freedom to conceal it. Who would openly admit that they were in poor condition and were disturbed by off-site factors?
If it were Zhou Yi himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't have admitted it.
In fact, none of these matters. As long as the team can win, Shahin can perform well in the game. Even with an assist, the voices targeting him from the outside world will disappear.
In the end, the football match depends on the results.

On April 24, in the 32nd round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund challenged Nuremberg away.
When the two sides met in the first half of the season, Dortmund defeated Nuremberg 5-0 at home.
In that game, Zhou Yi first started in Dortmund's first team and played at West**** Stadium for the first time.
Zhou Yi, who had no stage fright at all, turned the first half of the game into his solo show.
Two assists were completed in just over ten minutes of the game.
The outstanding performance helped Dortmund finally defeat Nuremberg 5-0 at home.
That was the first time Dortmund defeated his opponent happily after a long period of unstable condition.
It is also the foundational battle for Zhou Yi to completely take the position of Dortmund as the main force.
But the situation is different in this game half a season later.
After the game started, both sides were in a stalemate.
It was not until the 27th minute that Dortmund broke the deadlock.
Zhou Yi gave him an assist, and Barrios took the lead for the team.
This goal ignited the passion of West****, especially the South Stand.
But just when everyone thought that Dortmund had finally opened the door to victory, three minutes later, and the 30th minute, Nuremberg immediately equalized the score!
Franz scored the goal.
No one scored a goal in the first half. Even if they were fighting at home, Dortmund could not suppress the visiting team Nuremberg amid the cheers of the South Stand.
This is inseparable from Shahin's sluggish performance.
Marcel Leif mentioned Shahing's current bad form more than once when commenting on the game.
He even thought Klopp shouldn't have let Shahin start at this time.
During the halftime break, in order to strengthen the attack, Klopp replaced Sven Bend with Gotze.
In Marcel Leif's opinion, this is a bit stupid substitution.
Because Kevin Bend is a midfielder in good shape, but now he has replaced him, leaving behind a Shahin in poor shape.
Now Dortmund's midfield can be said to have no barrier.
However, Gotze was also very active after he came on the court. He ran tirelessly in the midfield and participated in the team's offense and defense.
And the most important thing is that after Goce came on the court, he cooperated better with Zhou Yi because of his experience in cooperating with Zhou Yi in the youth team.
Even if Shahin performed poorly, Gotze was able to attack with Zhou Yi.
But in Marcel Lef's opinion, Gotze should have replaced Shahin instead of Sven Bend.
After Goze came on the court, in the 62nd minute, Barrios scored twice, and the one who assisted him was still... Zhou Yi!
"Zhou Yi!" Duan Xin shouted excitedly, "Although his midfield partner's performance is really not very good, what is gratifying is that Zhou Yi is still trustworthy! This is his second time in this game. There is news that Barrios and Zhou Yi have a very good relationship. I think if I were Barrios, my relationship with Zhou Yi would definitely be good - who has such a teammate who loves to assist him, who has a bad relationship with him? Haha!"
"Although Dortmund did not perform well on the scene, they still took the second lead now. Shahin should have breathed a sigh of relief, and Klopp could breathe a sigh of relief..." Marcel Lef sarcastically.
But in the 77th minute, Klopp's heart must have been suffocated again.
Because Nuremberg tied the score again!
"Egol! 2:2 draw! Tenacious Nuremberg! Dortmund's defense is full of loopholes, but in my opinion, the biggest loophole appears in their midfield!" Marcel Leif criticized people without any mercy. "If I were Klopp, I would have replaced Shahin!"

Klopp obviously felt a strong sense of crisis from this concealment, so he made a decisive decision, and this time he replaced Shahin.
When Shahin came out, sporadic boo sounded in the stands.
This is some Dortmund fans expressing their dissatisfaction with Shahin.
They were dissatisfied with Shahin's entanglement with Real Madrid and were not interested in fighting.
In their opinion, this is disrespectful to Dortmund's behavior.
When Shahin left the game, he lowered his head and his mood was not very high. After shook hands with Klopp very perfunctorily, he sat on the bench.

After replacing Shahin, Dortmund changed from a dual-core tactic to a single-core, and Zhou Yi became the only core. He could control the overall situation by himself without assisting Shahin.
So Dortmund's performance began to improve gradually.
His passing dispatch and Gotze's breakthrough made Dortmund's midfielder regain control and attacked the offense.
Finally, in the 84th minute, Zhou Yi passed the ball to Gotze. After Gotze replaced a Nuremberg player, he sent the football into the penalty area. Barrios successfully counterattacked and shot after receiving the ball. The football flew into Nuremberg's goal for the third time!
"Lucas Barrios! Hat Trick! He completed the hat Trick! What an amazing performance! He turned the tide for Dortmund!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly.
Barrios was also very excited when scoring the goal. He ran to Gotze, hugged him, and waved to Zhou Yi, signaling him to come and celebrate together.
Almost all Dortmund players on the court flocked to Barrios and surrounded him.
The cheers from the south stands were deafening and resounded beyond the sky.
Klopp was also excited off the court. He waved his arms vigorously and roared with biting his teeth.
The heart he had always been holding on to before was finally able to fall back...
After being excited, he looked at the players who were still celebrating on the court and set his eyes on Zhou Yi.
He thought of Zorke's words.
But to be honest, he was not very supportive of Zolk's proposal before, because the dual-core tactics he had worked hard to train had just improved and were about to be disassembled? He didn't want this.
In Klopp's plan, this season is used to run in dual cores, and next season is the time to show off his strengths. He wants to make a difference in both the domestic league and the Champions League.
But just now I have come up with some feeling, and I am about to break up the dual cores...
Klopp still hopes that Shahin can stay at Dortmund to play football with peace of mind.
But after watching Shahin's performance in this game, Klopp realized that this might be his wishful thinking.
Before this, there were rumors about Shahin's transfer, but Shahin's handling was pretty good.
But this time, when Real Madrid joined, the situation became different.
Klopp knew that Real Madrid's energy was too strong, which made people like Shahin tempted.
The previous transfer rumors may still be that the agent will use this to negotiate a bargaining chip, but this time... maybe Shahin wants to go to Real Madrid by herself.
Although everyone is a member of the G14, compared with Real Madrid, the financially tight Dortmund is obviously too small...
Now there is a direct comparison between Zhou Yi and Shahin. Zhou Yi gave two assists in this game, and he also instigated the third goal.
The team's performance in dual cores was actually very painful, and it seemed simple to change to single cores...
All of this prompted Klopp to finally make up his mind.
If someone wants to leave and can't keep him, let him go. Dortmund's team has never been able to turn around if anyone is missing.
Klopp believes that Zhou Yi can completely fill this vacancy.
Chapter completed!
