Although Zhou Yi wisely refused to answer those annoying questions when he was at the airport, he was unable to escape the fate of these reporters.

Because of the pre-match press conference, Zhou Yi was named by Klopp to attend with him.

This time, the reporters laughed at the scene when they saw Zhou Yi. There was a German translation on the spot. You can't use the excuse of "not understanding" to escape, right?

Looking at the reporters' "malintentional" smiles, Zhou Yi sat next to Klopp with expressionless expression.

After the press conference began, the problems were all thrown to Klopp. As the head coach who led Dortmund to participate in the Champions League for the first time after seven years, Klopp now has a huge popularity among Dortmund fans. Everyone also wants to hear what he thinks about bringing the team back to the Champions League.

"...I'm not very excited, because compared to excitement, there is more pressure in the Champions League. We have to face many difficulties. If these difficulties are not solved well, it is meaningless to return to the Champions League. We are not here just to show our presence." Klopp faces the reporter's questions in his usual style.

"That means you have more goals?"

"Who doesn't? Which teams come to the Champions League just to play six group games and go home?" Klopp seemed ambitious and confident.

This is different from their collective low-key before.

Perhaps Klopp thought the game was about to begin, and it would be useless to keep a low profile, so he might as well... see the dagger after the picture was exhausted.

The reporters threw the problem to Zhou Yi again. The first Spanish reporter came up and found out that he had an old account: "Hi, Zhou Yi, there is an interpreter on site today."

There was a burst of laughter at the press conference, and Zhou Yi laughed, and then said: "Actually, if you spoke English more standard on the day you were at the airport and had a lower accent, I wouldn't understand it." He said in English to prove that his English was fine.

There was another burst of laughter at the scene. They were still happy to accept this kind of sarcasm for those who were not aggressive. Everyone was joking.

The joke was over. The problem was not that friendly.

"Will you feel nervous when you first participate in the Champions League?"

"No." Zhou Yi shook his head and said firmly, "My name is 'not nervous'. Heartlessness is always my advantage."

"So will you be excited to participate in the Champions League for the first time?"

Zhou Yi shook his head again and said in a very affirmative tone: "Not even. It's just a slightly more difficult game."

"How much do you know about Valencia's team?"

"I understand it very much." Zhou Yi continued to have an unquestionable tone.

He was right, but he knew this team very well because he had played dozens of games with them in the virtual space... Anyone and a team played thirty or forty games in a row. It is probably not enough to describe it. He had to say "give them when they see them."

However, Spanish journalists don't think so. They think Zhou Yi is talking big, and even Klopp dares to say that he knows Valencia very well, right?

However, Zhou Yi's performance today gave reporters a completely different feeling. When he was at the airport, he used "not understanding" as an excuse to refuse to answer any questions. The media commented that he was guilty. But now, at the press conference, he was very tough. He never used questions with uncertain tone, and every sentence ended with a positive tone.

It seems full of confidence.

This change made journalists even more interesting.

Are you really confident? Or pretending?

By connecting the attitude of head coach Klopp, the reporters even more thoughtful.

Both the head coach and the players showed a confident attitude at the same time. Are there some...the performance is too vigorous?

※※※

In the hotel room at night, Zhou Yi learned from He Ying how the Spanish media evaluated his performance at the press conference.

"They said you were pretending to be very confident, which actually just shows your weakness." After He Ying finished speaking, she also expressed a smile on her face covering her mouth.

"Damn!" Zhou Yi rolled his eyes.

"They are right from the right side, but you can't argue with the media, Zhou Yi." Yang Muge kindly comforted Zhou Yi in the group. "They make a living by talking and pen."

"It's okay, we just talk with our feet. Just kick it!" Zhou Yi said.

"What? Are you going to kick someone's crotch with your feet? Zhou Yi, you are such a person!" Sun Pan gave a shocked expression.

"Get out!" Zhou Yi replied. "What are you thinking!"

"That's right, Sun Pan, don't talk nonsense, Zhou Yi won't be like that..." Yang Muge also defended Zhou Yi.

As soon as he posted this, he saw Zhou Yi’s next chat content on the screen: “Of course, I used my feet to hit the crotch! We are playing football. It’s too technical to kick the crotch with my feet, okay?”

Yang Muge: “…”

Guo Nu: "3333333" and a pounding expression.

He Ying: "Puff!"

Sun Pan laughed: "Hahahaha! Lao Yang, don't underestimate the lower limit of this kid!"

"Okay, I still can't see through Zhou Yi..." Yang Muge said, then gave a crying expression.

Sun Pan comforted his roommate: "Don't cry Lao Yang, if you can't see through it, it means that your heart is still pure. You have not been defiled by Zhou Yi, the Lich King! This is a good thing..."

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes.

※※※

Although I was very happy to chat with everyone in the group, Zhou Yi still saw everyone in the group on time and then went offline to bed.

There will be a game tomorrow, and rest is important.

After going to bed, Zhou Yi quickly entered the virtual world of...iaol3.

In this virtual world, Zhou Yi first competed with tomorrow's opponent Valencia.

In this game, Valencia sent a lineup with goalkeeper Cesar Sanchez. The four defenders were Ricardo Costa, Jeremy Mathieu, David Navarro and Bruno Salto. The four midfielders were Alberto Costa, Paboro Hernandez, Joaquin, and Alberda. The two forwards were Mata and Soldado.

At the pre-match press conference today, Valencia's head coach Unai Emery did not announce the lineup, of course, Klopp did not announce it either, and everyone is the same.

However, Zhou Yi seemed to have known the opponent's lineup in advance.

It is probably inconsistent with what he sees now. Because the system selects the opponent's lineup to judge their status based on the performance of these players in recent games, thus determining who can and who can't.

In such a situation, unless the opponent's head coach insists on taking the ordinary path before the game, letting players in good condition be substitutes, and players in bad condition, it will completely reverse the lineup predicted by the system.

That's why Zhou Yi dared to say at the pre-match press conference that he knew Valencia very well.

It’s just that his confidence, because of unknown origin, was directly regarded by Spanish journalists as a manifestation of bluff.

Zhou Yi is really wronged...

In the virtual world, Zhou Yi has fought with Valencia many times, and there is no newness at all.

Before the first fight, he carefully browsed the values ​​of every Valencia player and used their data to infer their technical characteristics and styles.

Now you can start the competition directly.

In these dozens of games with Valencia, Dortmund and the opponent have a win or defeat. In general, Valencia's winning rate is higher. After all, this is their home court.

There is a problem with the real simulation of virtual systems, that is, it cannot perfectly simulate the rise and fall of morale in the competition, and some rely too much on data for analysis. If the other party's value is higher than you at the time, then his success rate will be higher.

There are many surprises in the game, which is not enough in the virtual system.

However, it is enough for Zhou Yi. If the virtual game can be completely the same as the real game, wouldn’t football lose all the fun?

I have been using this system for more than two years. He believes that what he needs is not a perfect simulation reality, but only a platform that can increase his competition experience.

This is done by the virtual system.

In the first game tonight, Dortmund finally tied with Valencia 2:2.

Dortmund had a good start, and they used a series of fierce offensives just twelve minutes to start, causing Valencia's central defender Mathieu to accidentally block the football into his own goal, and Dortmund took advantage of this own goal to lead 1:0.

Next, in the 18th minute, Zhou Yi gave an assist, Barrios grabbed the ball in front of the goal and shot the ball into the goal. Dortmund led the lead with two goals.

This starts very well.

Afterwards, Zhou Yi tried to keep the pace of the game at Dortmund, which was fine at the beginning. But as the game progressed, it became more and more difficult to do so.

Because Valencia launched a fierce counterattack.

Plus this is their home court. There is an advantage in the success judgment mechanism of some odds.

So gradually, the situation turned to Valencia.

After the second half began, Valencia's midfielder Hernandez scored a goal for the team in the 47th minute.

Then, in the 68th minute, Alberda equalized the score.

Valencia, who equalized the score, continued to strengthen their offense, and their overall position was even higher. The success rate of Valencia players in the system has also increased a little.

This has put pressure on Zhou Yi because as the team's midfield core, he will encounter the opponent's key defense during the game.

In the end, Zhou Yi has tried his best to be able to end the game with a score of 2:2.

Although it cannot simulate a real game absolutely perfectly, through such a game, Zhou Yi can understand enough what level of the Champions League is.

This was of great benefit to him.

Because when people analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Dortmund, they will mention that they lack experience. For a team that has been away from the Champions League for seven seasons, this is an irrefutable try. Many people in this team have no experience in participating in the Champions League.

Neither did head coach Klopp.

As the core of the team, Zhou Yi naturally has nothing.

But this is an inference made under normal circumstances, but Zhou Yi is not a person who can judge based on normal circumstances.

If you want to talk about the experience in the Champions League, he may have had forty games now... Of course, all of them are experience with the same opponent.

But at least Zhou Yi has seen what the Champions League looks like.

This is very important.

He would not have been caught off guard by the fast-paced Champions League when it came to the real game tomorrow.

After ending this game, Zhou Yi started his own training in the system.

On the eve of the game, he did not forget to improve his strength. What a dedicated player he is!
Chapter completed!
