After Zhou Yi returned to China, he and his national teammates trained at the Chongming Island Training Base in Shanghai. A week later, they would set off from here to Tokyo, Japan to challenge the Japanese national team.

After returning to the national team, Zhou Yi was welcomed by his teammates. In this team, although he is young, he has a very high prestige. This prestige is not obtained by colluding with the leader, the coach, the gangs and the hilltops, and the tricks. Earned in the performance of the game.

And this training and game performance is not his performance in Dortmund. To be honest, Zhou Yi in Dortmund is very far away from the national team players. How he performed in foreign clubs is not necessarily related to his status in the national team.

If a player performs like a **** in the club, he becomes a soft-footed shrimp as soon as he reaches the national team. When he is needed, he cannot stand up. How can such a player get the trust of his teammates? Even if the head coach is strong, I am afraid that it will cause the player to rebound.

So Zhou Yi really conquered everyone with his performance in the national team and won everyone's trust.

Everyone knows that although he is young, he is a reliable person at all times.

Last year’s Asian Cup, if it were not for him, the Chinese team might not even qualify for the group, let alone make it to the finals.

This year's Olympics, if it were not for him, the Chinese team would definitely not get that precious gold medal.

The other national Olympic youngsters who newly joined the national team did not enjoy the treatment of Zhou Yi in the national team. Although the big brothers of the national team also welcomed their arrival, the welcome was polite, and Their preference for Zhou Yi's sincerity is a little different.

The national Olympic team teenager won the gold medal in the Olympics. This is the pride of Chinese football, but their resumes in the national team are still zero, and they need to prove that they deserve this collective. Before training with them, many people on the national team may look at them with suspicion, but they will not show it directly.

Not to mention that these people came or robbed their old people. If anyone can really open their hearts and accept them unconditionally, it is really a moral imitation model.

But it can not be said that there is a phenomenon of seniority within the national team, because this is not a seniority, but a seniority. If these newcomers are very good in training and competition, then the national team's internationals will accept them, just as they accepted Zhou Yi. When Zhou Yigang came to the national team, many people looked at him with curious and doubtful eyes, but Zhou Yi conquered everyone with just one training class...

At the Chongming Island training base, everyone has invested in preparing for the Japanese team's training. In addition to the training on the court, the coaching staff also gave the players to watch the video of the Japanese team's recent games, through this to understand and analyze the opponent .

There are many reporters covering the training of the Chinese team. After all, the Chinese team participated in the top ten for the first time after missing the top ten of the two World Cup qualifiers. After eight consecutive years of eating melons, this time they personally Starting up as a player in the end, of course, affects the hearts of national fans.

The media who reported on the training of the Chinese team hoped to see the tactics and lineup of the Chinese team against the Japanese team during the training.

Unfortunately, each training session of the Chinese team is only open to media reporters for 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes is basically some insignificant warm-up training or shooting training, which does not involve any tactical content.

The internal teaching competition is also completely closed and can't be seen at all. In order to prevent reporters from spying on intelligence, Gao Hongbo even asked the staff at the training base to surround the training ground with curtains so that reporters would not spy on them.

The prevention is so strict, the information available to reporters is pitiful, and it is no wonder that in the Chinese media, Gao Hongbo is not particularly friendly-he really does not take care of the reporters' feelings, this battle Where is the anti-spying military situation, it is simply anti-thief.

However, because of such strict defense, Chinese and Japanese reporters have no way to get more information about the Chinese team. In the Chinese team that challenges the Japanese team on the road, will the starting lineup be a big change from the previous two games? Will the newly recruited Olympic youngsters all debut?

After finishing the training in Shanghai, the Chinese team set off for Japan. At the airport, many fans came to see them off.

In fact, in this group, the Chinese team with two wins and two wins is in a good situation, ranking sixth with six points. The first place in the group is Japan with two wins and a tie of seven points, but the key is that Japan has one more game than them and only one more point than them.

As long as the Chinese team does not lose to the Japanese team on the road, it is considered to have completed the task.

After saying goodbye to the fans at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport, the Chinese team arrived at Tokyo Narita International Airport by plane.

Take a bus here, arrive at the hotel where you stay, and start preparing for the game two days later.

In this match day, the Chinese team has only one match, so they have relatively more time to prepare for the game. There is only one week of training in China, which is very rare for the national team to arrange the match day in the European League.

The news of the Chinese team's arrival in Japan has also become a news of great concern in Japan.

At Narita Airport, at the door of the hotel where they are staying, the players of the Chinese team see the most not the Chinese reporters, but...Japanese reporters!

This shows how much attention has been paid to this game in Japan.

In the Olympics that didn't take long, the Chinese Olympic team defeated the Japanese team in the final to get the gold medal. This craze has not passed yet.

In China, some media claim to avenge the defeat of the Asian Cup final last year. At the same time, in Japan, there are also media clamoring for revenge for the failure in the Olympic finals.

Both sides feel that the other party is an enemy, and there is hatred to be reported. How could this game not attract attention?

In Japan, the most popular Chinese player is Zhou Yi, because he has been a partner for two years in Dortmund and Kagawa Shinji, and the relationship between the two players on and off the field is also very good. This is known to Japanese reporters. While in Dortmund, Zhou Yi would also be interviewed by Japanese reporters, so he and some Japanese reporters are old acquaintances.

In the eyes of Japanese media reporters and Japanese fans, Zhou Yi is the Chinese player they are most familiar with, and where there are interviews, the people around him are also the most.

Of course, Japanese reporters always use honorifics when facing Zhou Yi, which is a treatment that other players of the Chinese team cannot enjoy.

Although the two sides had already fought against each other before the match, Zhou Yi was quite polite to his opponent in Japan.

"The Japanese team is a superb team in Asia, we still have a certain gap with them. This time it is an away game... the situation is not good for us. But we will go all out." Zhou Yi said very modestly, if not If he just led the Olympic team to defeat the Japanese team in the Olympic finals, many people may really believe that the Chinese team has a lot of difficulties in the away game.

But now, people don’t believe that Zhou Yi and his Chinese team are really harmless.

Kagawa Shinji is the most mentioned name for Zhou Yi in Japan.

"This game will be the first time that you and Kagawa will be against each other on the court. May I ask Zhou Sang what do you expect from this matchup?"

"Everyone has played his best." Zhou Yi said.

"Have you exchanged this game privately with Kagawa?"

"No, he is now at Manchester United, and we don't have many opportunities to communicate privately."

"Kagawa said he was looking forward to playing against Zhou Sang."

"I'm also looking forward to playing against him~lightnovelpub.net~ I have never played as an opponent after all."

"So can you predict the outcome of this game?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Football is round, and predicting the result is a very meaningless thing. All we can do is go all out on the court. As for the result, don't think too much before the game."

The Japanese media have a good evaluation of Zhou Yi’s performance against Japanese reporters—no humbleness or no humility. The self-confidence that naturally emanates rather than forcibly pretends to show that he is a person who has really seen big scenes.

The Japanese media also believe that after Hideyoshi Nakata, another truly world-class star appeared in Asia-they do not think Park Ji-sung is a world-class star. This may be due to the hostility and prejudice of Japanese football against Korean football.

Whether their evaluation of Nakata is too high is also debatable.

However, the evaluation of Zhou Yi by the Japanese media makes the Chinese media and fans sound pretty cool-to be recognized and respected by the enemy, it shows that Zhou Yi's strength and charm are outstanding. (To be continued.)
