Chapter 2 Conditions for leaving Dortmund?
Just like the reenactment twelve years ago, in the summer of 2013, the Chinese TV screen was very noisy, and the players of the national team appeared in front of the vast TV audience one after another, just like they formed a group.
Zhou Yi is not the most popular international player.
Zhou Yi didn't stay in China for long before returning to Dortmund. In China, he had too many activities, and Zhou Yi could not push them all, which made him very upset. In the end, he simply ran back to Germany early, calling it a restoration training and staying in shape.
This kind of reason is impeccable, and no one can say anything else.
After leaving China, Zhou Yi was far away from the noisy center. Although he was also a big star in Dortmund, he did not have much activity to find him. Here, football is still the main focus.
Moreover, here, Zhou Yi is better at rejecting people. Everyone has a working relationship and says whatever they have. Unlike in China, people are entrusted with favors, and it is not easy to refuse.
Zhou Yi also thoroughly saw the terrible aspects of human relationships and meetings.
Back to Dortmund, Zhou Yi really invested in restorative training. He hasn't had a good rest in the past two seasons. Now he needs a scientific and reasonable training plan to give his body a full rest. In addition, he feels that his physical fitness still has room to improve. He is impressed by the powerlessness at the last moment of the Champions League final. He can imagine that his game will increase and more in the future, and his status in the team will be more important. If he does not have sufficient physical fitness, it will become an important bottleneck restricting his development by the end of the season.
So after returning to Dortmund, Zhou Yi took a few days off and reappeared at Bracker's training base and began his physical and restorative training.
Dortmund's official account on Twitter was equipped with a photo of Zhou Yi training in the training base, with the text description: "Bortmund is the first player to start preparing for the 2013-2014 season."
Under this tweet, a large number of fans left comments: "So Zhou Yi was able to achieve such a high achievement at such a young age!"
"Zhou Yi's professional attitude really makes some players ashamed!"
"Zhou Yi is really hardworking, please give me a message next season!"
After Gotze has already transferred and left, Zhou Yi's performance has made Dortmund fans feel at ease.
However, on the German "Transfer Market" website, it is not optimistic about whether Zhou Yi will stay in Dortmund.
This website is a famous European football portal. It has more than 2 million visitors a day and provides multilingual support. The transfer market website focuses on information about the football transfer market. Data investigators from all over the world enter help information, etc. It has established an authoritative database of player background information, transfer information, and value. The player value information provided by the transfer market website is the more authoritative source for major media to estimate the player's value.
Therefore, the analysis of players' transfer trends in this media is also very authoritative and accurate.
Just after Dortmund's official account disclosed the news that Zhou Yi returned to the team early to start training, an article appeared on the homepage of the "Transfer Market" website.
Let’s not read the content for now, but the title of this article is sensational enough: Will Zhou Yi become the next Gotze?
Gotze has just left for transfer and went to Bayern Munich. The impact he brought to Dortmund has not completely disappeared. Now, the authoritative media in the transfer "Transfer Market" has compared Gotze with Zhou Yi, which will definitely make Dortmund fans worried.
The article reveals that many clubs in European football are currently interested in Zhou Yi - this is not a rare thing. However, "Transfer Market" released a detailed list of teams interested in Zhou Yi.
Of course, this is not the most important factor in this article.
The most eye-catching thing in this article is the first time that Zhou Yi will transfer and leave Dortmund!
The author of this article has indeed put in real effort in collecting information. He found that Zhou Yi once revealed to others that if he wanted to leave Dortmund and go to other teams, he had to meet a condition - he wanted to win the championship in Dortmund.
No matter what the concept of "champion" is, the requirement put forward by Zhou Yi has now met: he has won the league championship, the King's Cup and the Champions League championship. So what else can prevent Zhou Yi from leaving Dortmund?
Although the article in "Transfer Market" does not reveal what circumstances Zhou Yi asked for whom, with the consistent authority and credibility of this portal, everyone is willing to believe that they did not lie.
If this is true, it will be a bolt from the blue for Dortmund fans.
So the author of this article finally asked: "Will Zhou Yi become the next Gotze?"
This question asked Dortmund fans terrified.
For a time, this issue caused heated discussion.
The message area of this article is full of fans' discussions. Many Dortmund fans naturally don't want to believe it. They ask the "Transfer Market" website to provide evidence that Zhou Yi said.
Moreover, the fans of his team were happily discussing what Dortmund would become after losing Zhou Yi. The most enthusiastic and happy one was the fans of Bayern Munich.
※※※
In fact, this article in "Transfer Market" is not something unfounded nonsense.
Why did Dortmund’s official Twitter account post that tweet?
Isn’t it because Zhou Yi’s future is uncertain?
The negotiations for renewal between Zhou Yi and Dortmund are still in a difficult situation, and it is so difficult that if the transfer agreement collapses directly, everyone will not find it strange.
But this matter has not been revealed, and not many people know it.
Dortmund's official Twitter account posted this tweet in the hope that this action would create an illusion that Zhou Yi would definitely stay in Dortmund, so that those teams who were thinking about Zhou Yi were not sure about the real situation.
If they thought that the renewal negotiations between Zhou Yi and Dortmund were going well and were about to sign the contract and then retreated from the difficult situation, then it would be the best.
As a result, an article in "Transfer Market" made their cover-up work in vain.
A day later, Dortmund issued an official statement saying that their contract renewal negotiations with Zhou Yi were steadily advancing, and they were not aware of the so-called conditions for Zhou Yi to leave Dortmund and would not comment.
Dortmund officials don’t know, so Zhou Yi knows it?
The reporters rushed to interview Zhou Yi and asked about the matters related to this.
Zhou Yi's attitude is interesting - he neither denies nor admits that he only asked reporters to ask his agent about his future. He said that the most important job he now is recovery.
I avoid talking, but letting the reporters ask the agent, which makes people think a lot.
If this was not the case, why didn’t Zhou Yi directly deny it?
His attitude on this matter was very ambiguous, and speculations about him really leaving Dortmund suddenly became rampant.
The media listed all the clubs that were said to be interested in Zhou Yi, and then analyzed one by one how likely it is to go to Zhou Yi.
Now it seems that the club that is most interested in introducing Zhou Yi and is also the most powerful club, which is the first to be recommended by Barcelona.
After all, Zhou Yi's style is the closest to their football philosophy. If Zhou Yi goes there, it takes almost no time to adapt to it, and he can be presented with the best.
At the same time, with Barcelona's status and financial resources in the football world, it is also a good place for Zhou Yi to organize. After going there, not only will there be more honors to get, but your salary will double, but your status in the football world will also rise with the rise.
This is also the transfer that Chinese fans most want to see - in addition to China's Real Madrid fans.
Apart from Barcelona, Arsenal is the most vigorous pursuit of the Zhou Yi.
Arsenal missed the championship for several consecutive years, which put Wenger under tremendous pressure. He urgently needed a leading figure to bring new inspiration and passion to Arsenal. In his opinion, Zhou Yi is such the most suitable candidate.
A recent report has been widely circulated in the UK.
After the Chinese team obtained the right to qualify for the World Cup, they returned to the top stage of world football and attracted attention from the world. Media from various countries have launched special reports on the Chinese team. How can they avoid the name Zhou Yi when introducing the Chinese team?
The British Football Magazine "442" used half an issue to introduce the Chinese team that returned to the international football stage, and the part about Zhou Yi accounts for more than one-sixth of it.
You know, the Chinese team is not only Zhou Yi, Sun Pan and He Ying are also familiar or heard of by British fans. But they have not been able to occupy such a large area as Zhou Yi.
In the report about Zhou Yi, there is an "old thing" that attracted everyone's attention. After visiting the reporters of "442", they learned that as early as when Zhou Yi had not become a professional player, he participated in a Chinese football reality show. In this show, he represented the Chinese youth team to challenge the European team's echelons. In the UK, the Chinese youth team had the Arsenal youth team. Zhou Yi performed well in the game, attracting the attention of Arsenal scouts. In the subsequent games, Arsenal had always sent scouts to follow Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi's performance made them very satisfied and planned to sign him. However, Zhou Yi was unmoved in the face of the conditions offered by Arsenal, so he chose Dortmund.
Everyone knows what's next...
As soon as this article came out, it attracted everyone's attention.
