The domestic Internet has been in full swing, and even Yan Min has heard some of the wind.

So the next day when Zhou Yi went to Brakel training base for training, Yan Min took the initiative to find him and said to Zhou Yi with an apology: "Zhou Yi, did I say the wrong thing?"

Zhou Yi gave him a blank look: "That's right, the time to speak is wrong."

Yan Min looked at Zhou Yi with little clarity.

"You shouldn't say that in front of the reporter." Zhou Yi educated. "Whether the shot is determined by you. No one can make a decision for you. If you think it's appropriate and you have confidence, then shoot, even at zero angles, it doesn't matter. But in front of the media, you just lost the ball, so you should just clip your tail a little..."

Yan Min scratched his head. He didn't think so much about answering those questions. He just said whatever he thought. Losing was really unpleasant, but he really didn't regret his original choice. Shooting was a very risky thing. If he succeeded, he would become famous with one goal, but if he failed, he might be scolded. This is a risk that he had to bear to become famous with one goal...

"Then do I need to explain it to the reporter?" Yan Min hesitated.

"No need." Zhou Yi waved his hand. "It's good to maintain the current Erlangzi's setting, haha!"

After laughing, Zhou Yi said, "Okay, don't worry about this matter. The outside world doesn't matter. The most important thing is your performance. If you can show convincing performance in the future, the people who scold you now will sing praises for you, it's no big deal. So you should just follow the previous rhythm and train well."

"Oh, OK!" Yan Min became happy again after hearing Zhou Yi say this.

Although Zhou Yi asked Yan Min not to explain, Zhou Yi felt that he still needed to explain this matter, but he had to explain it himself. Because Yan Min's mouth... Maybe the more he explained it, the worse it would be.

But before he could go to the media, the media found him first.

There are two issues that everyone is most concerned about. The first is whether he can start in the Ruhr derby on the weekend. After losing the Champions League, some people think that why Klopp didn't take Zhou Yi to London? Because next is the Ruhr derby. In Klopp's opinion, the Ruhr derby may be more important than a Champions League group stage. But if Zhou Yi cannot play in the Ruhr derby, isn't it meaningless to lose to Arsenal?

The second question is naturally related to Yan Min. He asked him how he viewed Yan Min's answer when he chose to shoot instead of passing at the last minute of the game, and how he viewed Yan Min's answer when he returned to the reporter's question at the airport.

Regarding the first question, Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know if I can play in the Roulder derby. I hope I can, but this matter is not my final say. It is the coaching staff and the team doctor team. I obey the coaching staff's arrangements and if I let me play, I will not make trouble if I don't let me play."

This is very much like Zhou Yi's style - it sounds right, but it's all nonsense. It can't attract reporters at all, and the media can have room for hype. The reporters can only repeat this kind of scene according to the script, and they can't interpret it even if they can't do it.

On the second question, Zhou Yi shrugged and gave an answer that surprised the reporters: "I don't think there is anything wrong with what Yan Min said."

"Ah?" The group of people were stunned - Zhou Yi publicly supported Yan Min's statements and practices?! Didn't he always emphasize the overall view and collective interests? How did he support Yan Min?

But everyone thought about it again that they were all Chinese players, so it was normal to protect each other? Zhou Yi might have scolded Yan Min so hard that he was so angry, but in front of media reporters, he still had to give his junior brother some face...

But they were wrong. Zhou Yi did not criticize Yan Min, but instead came to criticize them.

"As an offensive player, what's wrong with choosing a shot?" he asked the reporter. "If an offensive player doesn't even dare to shoot when facing a goal, what would you think? If he passes the football out in the end but others don't score, can you still criticize Yan Min for passing the ball as a shirking responsibility and not taking responsibility?"

A group of reporters did not expect Zhou Yi to criticize them, and they couldn't even say anything they were asked back.

"It is the responsibility of the whole team to lose, and it should not be borne by one person. I think everyone understands this principle..." Zhou Yi smiled. But in the eyes of the reporters, this smile was a bit sarcastic. However, they dared to confront Yan Min in person, but they did not dare to confront Zhou Yi in person. There were reporters who did not believe in evil before and wanted to confront Zhou Yi in anger, and became famous in one battle, but they were embarrassed by Zhou Yi and threw them abroad. Since then, they have been around when they see Zhou Yi, and they don't want to follow in the footsteps...

"No one in the locker room in the team accused Yan Min of making the wrong choice in the end, and no one felt that losing was Yan Min's responsibility. I was not busy wiping Yan Min's butt. I am very grateful for your concern for me, but in fact, nothing you were worried about happened." Of course, Zhou Yi still gave the reporter some face, and the words were not too extreme.

"I hope everyone doesn't listen to the wind and rain. This is not an important matter. Yan Min's freedom to shoot or not is his freedom. Will he still have to shoot next time? I think he can clearly judge when and when shouldn't. You don't have to worry about this kind of thing - I don't worry about this issue. I lost two games in three Champions League group stages. The situation is indeed unfavorable to us, but there are still three group stages, and we still have a chance. I'm not pessimistic."

"I know some people are worried that Yan Min's last shot will affect his evaluation in Klopp's mind and make it difficult for him to get another chance... I can understand your mood, but I don't think this will happen. Jurgen Klopp is a very outstanding head coach, and he especially knows how to train young players."

Finally, Zhou Yi also flattered Klopp. If this interview report would be seen by Klopp, maybe he wouldn't really look at Yan Min with tinted glasses...

In fact, without Zhou Yi flattering, Klopp did not intend to put all the losses on Yan Min.

At the post-match press conference, he said that losing is not a person's responsibility or problem.

He did not continue to investigate whether Yan Min should shoot.

After losing the ball, he felt pressured, but there were more important things waiting for him to deal with, rather than caring about such unworthy trivial matters.

The next game is a Ruld Derby with Schalke 04.

With the current state of Dortmund, this away challenge to Schalke 04 may be a result of more misfortune.

If you lose two consecutive times, the trouble will be great.

The most critical question of defeating Schalke 04 is... whether Zhou Yi can play.

※※※

"Can Zhou Yi appear this time?" Zorke asked at Dr. Braun, his eyes as if Braun could eat Braun if he didn't give an answer that satisfies him.

Dr. Braun did not go to see Zorke, but nodded and said, "This time I can."

After hearing this, Zorke smiled and his eyes became much softer.

But it was Klopp staring at Braun.

Braun raised his hand: "I know what you want to ask. Don't worry, I didn't make a decision against my will under Zorke's pressure. Because I didn't go to London, Zhou Yi got enough rest and his physical condition could meet the requirements for playing games. But if he had gone to London, he might not be able to catch up with Schalke 04's game..."

"Can he start?" Klopp did not show a relaxed expression, and he continued to ask.

"Can start, but can't play the whole game." Braun answered.

"Okay." Klopp nodded.

With the professional advice given by the team doctor team leader, he knew what to do.

Zorke is still very happy. Even if he can't play the whole game, it's OK. This is undoubtedly good news for Dortmund, who just lost the Champions League group stage.

He couldn't wait to announce the news: "Then I'll ask the official website to send a press release saying that Zhou Yi will make a comeback in the game against Schalke 04?"

"No problem." Dr. Braun nodded.

But Klopp opposed: "No, don't do this for now."

"Why?" Zorke was surprised.

Isn’t this a good thing? Shouldn’t a good thing be widely publicized?

"I noticed that the media are speculating now that Zhou Yi can participate in the derby. There are many worried voices, and it seems that they are also connecting Zhou Yi and Gundoanto, believing that they are in the same trouble..." Klopp said. "I think if these media reports can make Schalke 04 really think that it is difficult for Zhou Yi to play in the derby... that's good, let them report like this."

Zorke's eyes turned and he understood what Klopp was going to do: "Are you going to cast a little smoke bomb on Schalke 04 before the game?"

Klopp nodded: "Well. So I hope everyone can cooperate and unify their caliber to the outside world - we don't know if Zhou Yi can make a comeback in the match against Schalke 04..."

"There is a problem." Braun interrupted. "Where is the training? You can't let Zhou Yi..."

"The training is the same as usual. He has been practicing with the team for more than a week."

"What should I do when the team is grouped? I always have to adjust the main lineup? At that time, everyone can see where Zhou Yi will be assigned. There are so many people in the team, do you have to issue a ban on the whole team?"

"Why not?" Klopp asked back.

"Uh..." Braun had nothing to say.

"Let them all shut up if they want to win. Of course, the team group matches are not important, and there is no fixed main grouping. So it is difficult to see whether Zhou Yi will play the game based on this. Even if we put Zhou Yi in the substitute group, does that mean that he will not play?" Klopp further explained.

He has taken great pains to defeat Schalke 04. If it were the first two seasons, there would be no need to be such a trouble. Just train normally and don’t have to do these conspiracies.

But now, Dortmund is in a bad situation, so Klopp has to be more cautious, use his brain more, and think of ways.
