Chapter one hundred and sixty-two cool
After the game, Mark Wagner was stopped by reporters in the mixed zone, and he scored twice in this game, which was just his second Champions League group match.
Although he has only participated in two Champions League games, he has scored three goals and is now the number one scorer in the Champions League.
Those who score goals always make a big splash, so Mark is very popular with reporters.
However, during the interview, Mark was not talking about himself, but Zhou Yi.
"...I want to thank Zhou Yi for being able to win back. He is simply our spiritual pillar! During the halftime break, he shared his story with us and told us that no matter how powerful the opponent is or how difficult the situation is, as long as you don't give up, a miracle will happen. You have also seen our performance in the second half. This is the result of our failure to give up! I am very happy to be a teammate with Zhou Yi. He has helped me very much..."
"So, in fact, it is Zhou Yi's credit for being able to recover it?" asked the reporter.
Mark nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes! It's all his credit!"
Next they interviewed Subotic, and Subotic also mentioned Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi's speech at the halftime inspired us. He is a very amazing person. It's hard to imagine that he is so young but has such ability..."
Weidenfeller said that he was saved by Zhou Yi: "He is my savior! It's not an exaggeration to say that! When I was sent off and saw the team behind four balls in the locker room, I wanted to find a rope to hang it in the locker room! But in the second half... I'm glad I didn't really do that in the first half! It's so great! I'm sorry that the red card caused such a big trouble to the team..."
Everyone is talking about Zhou Yi, so what did Zhou Yi say?
"What caused the team to perform completely differently in the first and second half?" the reporters asked first.
"It was an accident to concede four goals in the first half, not our true level. It was the second half. If there were no accidents in the first half, this game would not have been played like this." Zhou Yi replied.
"But there are always all kinds of accidents in football games..."
"That's right, so I'm proud of the performance of the whole team. This shows that we are a group that has combat effectiveness no matter what accidents we face." Zhou Yi nodded.
What Zhou Yi and other teammates said seemed a little different. He did not win the most achievements, but said in a low-key and humble manner that this was all collective credit.
So a reporter told him what his teammates commented on him, and Zhou Yi laughed as he listened.
Seeing Zhou Yi laughing, the reporters asked: "Are they saying true?"
Zhou Yi scratched his head: "This... is actually nothing. I just did a little bit of work, not worth mentioning, ha! The most important thing is the team. Football is a collective sport. Without a good team support, no matter how good an individual is, it is useless. So I have to thank everyone in this game. Without them, there would be no game..."
At the post-match press conference, Klopp also mentioned a similar view to Zhou Yi. Although he also praised Zhou Yi's performance, he ended up on the team.
"Zhou Yi, Mark, Gotze, Shinji Kagawa, Sven Bend...everyone, who mentioned the name or did not mention the name, formed this Dortmund. They are the reason why we were able to equalize the score at the last moment. I am very happy that although this game was very hard, I gained a very combat-ready team, which is more important than anything else." Klopp smiled happily when he said this.

The next day, German and European media were reporting on the game last night.
"Milan Sports": "...I played an unexpected game at the Meazza Stadium last night. Dortmund's performance in the first half made everyone think that they had lost, but the situation suddenly changed in the second half... Inter Milan did not win this game at the best time, and Benitez was criticized after the game, but this time, I think Benitez must be responsible and cannot bear all the responsibility. Inter Milan players also have to bear a large part of the responsibility! They played after four goals leading, so they were too casual... Of course, we would like to congratulate Dortmund on being able to equalize the score under such an unfavorable situation. Their tenacity allowed us to see the charm of football. Nothing is impossible!"
"Kickers": "Dortmond shocked a lot of people in this away game. Who would have thought that they could get the score back in such a bad situation? I even thought that if they gave ten more minutes, would they complete an amazing reversal? You should know that in the history of the Champions League, there has never been a reversal behind four goals, never! Whether in one game or two rounds, this situation has never happened! So, Dortmund and the others played a great game!"
"Photo": "The amazing Klopp! The amazing Dortmund! The amazing Eastern wizard Zhou Yi! He is really like a wizard who knows witchcraft, directing this big reversal! In an interview after the game, almost all Dortmund players mentioned Zhou Yi's contribution to this reversal, and we can see his contribution in the game. I can even say that without Zhou Yi, there would be no 4:4 game..."
"Team News": "Last night, an amazing game was born in the Champions League group stage. Dortmund, who was facing ten people, caught up in the second half while falling behind the dead ball. At the last moment of the game, he equalized the score! The whole game process was ups and downs, heart-stirring, and it made people excited. In the end, although Dortmund was unable to win the game, they were like winners when they left Meacha..."
"Roman Sports": "Inter Milan took it upon themselves! Dortmund won applause and cheers, and left with his head high. If this is the Champions League knockout, then Inter Milan has been eliminated and they have personally ruined their own good situation. Since Benitez took over Mourinho, the Spanish tactical master has been controversial, and this game will undoubtedly continue this controversy..."
Unlike European media that pay more attention to collective reporting methods, in China, Zhou Yi has quickly become a headline figure in major media.
Whether it is traditional newspapers or online new media, Zhou Yi has been mentioned again and again and praised to the sky.
“…Zhou Yi directed this great competition!”
"Two assists and one goal, Zhou Yi conquered Meacha!"
"Who dares to take the sword and get out of the way? Only General Zhou!"
"Zhou Yi teaches the entire Inter Milan team not to show off. Pretending to be struck by lightning!"
"Hao Dong: Zhou Yi's performance is not surprising, this is his due strength."
...
On Weibo, it caused a heated discussion. This day was simply a carnival for Zhou Yi fans. Who can make the defending champion so embarrassed? Only Zhou Yi!
Zhou Jianliang and Li Cuiyun also benefited from their son. In the unit, they received countless praises and flatteries. Regardless of whether these praises are sincere or not, at least it means that their son is so strong that others cannot ignore or disdain.

But in such a hustle and bustle, Zhou Yi himself was very low-key. On the second day of the game, he slept well at his residence...and was lazy.
I slept until almost noon before getting up.
The game last night really made him tired.
He was so tired that he didn't continue training in the virtual space and slept dreamlessly until the next morning.
After rushing back from Milan overnight, he went home to sleep. As for what happened to Guo Nu treats... he has tied and what other guests are there? No one has lost or won.
After getting up, he put on his clothes and went to the bathroom to wash. He was surprised to find that Connata was still in the room.
"Huh? You didn't go to class?"
"There was no class this morning." Cortana put down the book and looked back at him.
Originally, after saying this, Cortana should have picked up the book again and continued to read her book, but this time, she was still looking at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi felt strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I suddenly want to ask, what did you feel when I scored yesterday?" Cortana asked with his head tilted.
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's hard to say it clearly, it's just that I'm very happy. Why are you suddenly interested in this question? Don't you like football?"
"Just curious, can't it be?" Cortana asked back.
"Okay, okay." Zhou Yi nodded quickly and said, "It's hard for me to describe that feeling to you in words. You may need to experience it yourself to feel it. Anyway, I feel very happy, it's so exciting. It's like a **."
Hearing his description, Cortana couldn't help but give Zhou Yi a blank look.
"Is there anything else to ask?"
Cortana shook her head: "It's gone."
"Then I'll go wash up." After Zhou Yi said that, he turned around and walked into the bathroom.
Cortana looked at the bathroom door that was closed by him and fell into deep thought.

When Dortmund resumed training, they saw banners pulled by fans outside the training ground.
It reads: "Thank you for not giving up, and we have enjoyed a great game!"
This is the encouragement of the fans to the team.
When the players are training, they can't help but glance at them and feel happy.
After experiencing such a game, they can bear any kind of praise now.
After the training, Zhou Yi surrounded him. They didn’t all come to Zhou Yi to sign and take photos. Many people don’t want to sign and take photos, but just to give Zhou Yi a thumbs up.
Fans use this simple way to express their love for Zhou Yi.
The club general manager Zorke, who saw this scene outside the court, couldn't help but plan something in his mind.
That was Dortmund's trip to Asia.
There are two Asian players in Dortmund now, and they are both very good and have high popularity. One is Zhou Yi, a Chinese player, and the other is Shinji Kagawa, and a Japanese player.
Especially Zhou Yi, who is so popular in Germany, it is hard to imagine how popular he should be in his motherland. China is a country with a large population, with a large market of 1.4 billion people!
After this season, I really have to go to East Asia for a walk. I believe I will make a lot of money!
