Champion’s Heart

v3 Chapter 282: The most familiar stranger

In the next game, Harvey did not forget to observe Zhou Yi while combing Barcelona midfield.

He is really curious about this young man who is said to have exactly the same style of playing.

Nowadays, it is a society with highly developed media, and it is not difficult to see a person's game. Therefore, Harvey also knows Zhou Yi, and has seen some of Zhou Yi's game video highlights. He also thinks that Zhou Yi's playing style is really similar to himself.

But is this an elaborate imitation or a pure natural result?

Harvey believes that it is still difficult to understand clearly through the TV screen. I am afraid it is necessary to get in close contact. Then playing against him is naturally the best method of observation.

Because he can experience Zhou Yi's football in the closest place to Zhou Yi.

With observation, Harvey feels that Zhou Yi's understanding of Barcelona is very deep. He is very familiar with Barcelona's tactics and understands the characteristics and style of almost every Barcelona player's playing.

This level of understanding surprised Harvey.

He has been training and playing with this team for so many years. Since childhood, he has been educated and trained in the philosophy of Barcelona football in the Lamacia Youth Camp. The concept of Barcelona football has been integrated into his genes. normal.

Why can Zhou Yi understand this?

Both for Zhou Yi and Barcelona, ​​they should be strange to each other.

Because this is the first confrontation between the two sides.

Zhou Yi is a rising star in European football that is becoming more and more famous. It is also quite famous. But in fact, the Barcelona players didn't know much about Zhou Yi before they met Dortmund in the Champions League, so it was limited to some rumors. After all, no one will be fine to pay attention to a player who has nothing to do with them. They are not fans of Zhou Yi...

The "Space Team" Barcelona's name is naturally radiant. There are quite a few people who know and understand Barcelona, ​​but they can understand to such a degree that apart from themselves, the rest of them may be counted in two hands, and Zhou Yi is one of these very few.

Harvey couldn't understand this situation at all. He felt that there was only one reason why Zhou Yi knew Barcelona so much—that is, Zhou Yi really did a lot of work to study Barcelona.

And this kind of effort should not appear on a player. It’s normal to appear on a coach. For example, Real Madrid’s current coach Mourinho must have worked hard to study Barcelona. That’s because he is now Real Madrid’s head coach. Barcelona, ​​of course, he must have a deep enough understanding of this team. And Mourinho worked in the Barcelona club when he was young. He understands and is familiar with Barcelona's football philosophy and philosophy. He is even regarded as a "traitor" by some radical Barcelona fans.

But Zhou Yi is an ordinary player. He had never been trained in Barcelona before. Why did he know so much about Barcelona?

After thinking about it, there is only one reason that makes sense-Zhou Yi loves Barcelona's football style and philosophy too, and studies and understands because of his love. It's like a fan will always try his best to understand all the conditions of his idol, and he wants to know the details of his posture to sleep and snoring.

Zhou Yi's approach is very consistent with the performance of a fan in the face of idols.

After reaching such a conclusion, Harvey suddenly thought of it a few years later. Although his recent state has remained fairly good, he is, after all, thirty-two years old. As a player, he must leave the stadium. Whether he retires or transfers, he must leave. By then, who will be his successor? Who can be perfectly integrated into Barcelona's football system?

There are already candidates in Harvey's mind.

He thinks that as long as Barcelona and Dortmund can reach an agreement on the transfer fee, then Zhou Yi's transfer to Barcelona is unlikely to have any obstacles?

You said he refused Barcelona before the game?

At that sensitive time, is it okay if you don’t refuse?

But this kind of rejection does not mean a real rejection, which is completely different from rejecting Barcelona in the transfer market.

Harvey is a pure Barcelona man. For the future of Barcelona, ​​he has considered beyond his player status...

But Harvey still miscalculated Zhou Yi.

Because Zhou Yi’s understanding of Barcelona is definitely not because he is a fan of Barcelona’s football philosophy and has studied crazy Barcelona football.

It is because Zhou Yi has a very powerful simulation system. He has played more than 100 games with Barcelona in this virtual space, and he can also intuitively understand the player's ability by viewing the opponent's player data.

In this way, how could he not know Barcelona?

Just like that moment, although Messi is on the right side of the field, he will often move to the middle. During the horizontal dribbling process, if he encounters an interception, he will have three options-passing, shooting and passing ball.

The collision between Gondoan and Messi just left Messi with a choice to pass. If he wants to pass the ball, he will pass the football to Iniesta on his left.

This "Messi Corridor" is getting tired of Zhou Yi and Barcelona's virtual game...

So this understanding has nothing to do with Zhou Yi's appreciation of Barcelona's football philosophy.

For football with Barcelona, ​​Zhou Yi can't talk about love or hate. Although his playing style is similar to Barcelona's pass-and-control football, Zhou Yi does not take a high view of Barcelona's football.

He believes that Barcelona's football philosophy is just one of the many football ideas that have actually existed in history, and there is nothing special about it.

For him, the most beautiful place in the football world is that there are many teams with different styles, playing different football tactics, and they can all succeed. It does not say that only Barcelona football can get this world. champion. Those teams that insist on defensive counterattacks, insist on full attack and defensive, and insist on bus tactics can also succeed through hard work.

Just like nature, if only one color of flowers is allowed in this world, then how boring spring should be...

In fact, Zhou Yi showed his familiarity with Barcelona, ​​not only Harvey, but also the commentators.

Because he appeared in the right position at a critical moment several times in defense, intercepting Barcelona's pass. He was like a dam, blocked in the narrowest section of the river in Barcelona, ​​and controlled the flow of Barcelona...

It was very uncomfortable for Barcelona to play.

After seeing Zhou Yi's performance, He Ping said: "For Zhou Yi, Barcelona seems to have become their'most familiar stranger', and his knowledge of Barcelona is amazing!"

Marcel Leif was also surprised by Zhou Yi's performance: "Zhou Yi is like a Barcelona player wearing a Dortmund jersey..."

Catalan narrators are even more speechless and do not know how to explain this phenomenon.

Guardiola saw Zhou Yi's performance off the court, and suddenly thought of the report, saying that Zhou Yi and La Masia passed by.

Now it seems that Garcia's technical director Garcia really has a vision. Such a player really suits us Barcelona.

He was born to play for Barcelona.

Unfortunately, he is now wearing Dortmund's jersey and is Barcelona's enemy on the court...

At this time, he was more or less concerned about the fact that La Masia had not signed Zhou Yi.

In the Dortmund coach next door, assistant coach Bovachi was also surprised by Zhou Yi's performance: "He didn't have such a performance last round, how did he do it?"

Klopp shrugged: "Ghost knows, but I'm very happy that he has such a performance in this game~lightnovelpub.net~ With his knowledge of Zhou Yi, if you want to ask why for every performance of him, , I'm afraid I can't even sleep well.

※※※

Because Zhou Yi's defensive performance has greatly exceeded the expectations of Barcelona players, so now in order to get rid of Zhou Yi's interception of their pass, Barcelona players have to choose a longer pass or a quick pass. First of all, long passes are not in line with Barcelona's football philosophy, they are not skilled. Second, accelerating the passing speed means increasing the number of passing errors. Even a team like Barcelona, ​​which has the advantage of passing and controlling the ball, cannot avoid it.

So in the first half, Barcelona's offensive play in the first half was not smooth, very "Barcelona".

Therefore, until the end of the first half of the game, they were not able to open Dortmund's goal to equalize the score.

When the first half ended with a goal behind Barcelona, ​​many people were surprised. Before the game prediction, everyone thought that Barcelona would take the lead in the first half of the home, but the actual situation is exactly the opposite of their prediction. This really broke the glasses of unknown people... (Unfinished) .)
