Champion’s Heart

In the summer of 2011, there are several news that Chinese fans must pay attention to.

And what's rare is that these pieces of news have nothing to do with Zhou Yi, at least it seems so... In fact, these pieces of news are insignificant and not worth mentioning in the entire European football world. But for Chinese fans and Chinese football, it may have extraordinary significance——

Atletico Madrid announced that they have reached a loan agreement with Chelsea, and will loan 19-year-old young goalkeeper Sun Pan from Chelsea for two years. Sun Pan will represent the Atletico Madrid first team in La Liga in the new season.

Barcelona Club issued a routine press release informing the following players that they will leave La Masia. Some of them will leave through transfers, and some will leave on loan. He Ying's name is among them. The player's destination is written as Valladolid, and the way of leaving the team is written as loan.

In addition, when a reporter was browsing Schalke 04's official website, he found Yang Muge's photo and introduction in the new season's first-team pre-season training roster.

In China, the media gave the five people who went abroad together for a reality show a collective name, the Five Little Dragons.

Now, it seems that these five little dragons are finally ready to take off together.

They have entered the public eye through different channels.

But wait...it seems someone has been forgotten?

In mid-July, Inter Milan officially confirmed that they had reached an agreement with Cesena Club to officially buy out Japanese full-back Yuto Nagatomo, who was on loan during the winter break last season. The team's head coach Leonardo revealed on the website that he hopes Nagatomo Yuto can participate with enough energy and wisdom when participating in the America's Cup, and try to maintain enough physical fitness and passion after the America's Cup.

Obviously, Nagatomo Yuto is already an indispensable member of Leonardo's plan for the new season.

The media revealed that the transfer fee for Nagatomo Yuto's transfer to Inter Milan was 4.5 million, which was 500,000 more than the 4 million priority buyout amount agreed by the two teams.

But in fact, Inter Milan only paid 4.25 million in cash, and the remaining 250,000 cash was offset by player transactions.

The person who added to the transfer deal of Nagatomo Yuto is a person who is not familiar to Chinese fans but is not unfamiliar either-Guo Nu.

Guo Nu, who performed well in the Inter Milan youth team, showed his talent but was not recruited into the first team. On the one hand, maybe the Inter Milan first team believes that his strength is still far from the requirements of the first team.

On the other hand, it may have something to do with the fact that Inter Milan's first team has no shortage of players on the back line, especially at center back.

However, Inter Milan did not give everything to Cesena. They only transferred half of Guo Nu's ownership to Cesena and allowed Guo Nu to play on behalf of Cesena.

Lao Guo, you actually helped the devils! In the group, Sun Pan was laughing at Guo Nu, who was the last one to confirm his future.

So what? Playing with a ball is better than anything else! Guo Nu shot back.

You're right, but realistically, no matter who you are supporting, as long as there is football to play. Zhou Yi rarely defended Guo Nu.

Zhou Yi still understands me! Guo Nu said proudly.

But just as he finished speaking, Zhou Yi said: But Lao Guo, how come you are worth 250,000 euros? 250 thousand, Inter Milan's price is simply a naked personal attack. Say you are worth 250!

Pfft! Sun Pan laughed.

Haha! He Ying also laughed.

What two hundred and five? Guo Nu quit and angrily denounced Zhou Yi's fallacies and heresies, which was shocking. I gave half of the ownership to Cesena, half 250, okay!!

Okay! Zhou Yi immediately answered from below.

Fuck... Only then did Guo Nu react, and he quickly made a face-covering expression with a bitter smile and tears. At this moment, facing Zhou Yi, who was as cunning as a fox, he could only fully express his heart with this expression.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha! Sun Pan laughed and rolled around in the group.

Lao Guo, you... He Ying couldn't hold back either.

Yang Muge corrected Guo Nu in a fit of laughter and tears: Old Guo, wouldn't it be fine if you said you were worth half a million? Why are you worth half of that, two hundred and fifty...

After some fun, everyone began to look forward to their new season.

Basically, they all dream about how they can play the main role in the team, perform well, get promoted and get a raise, and reach the top of their lives.

In the end, Yang Muge calmed down and said to everyone: Except for Zhou Yi, we are actually not sure whether we can play a real first-team game in the new season. So everyone should work hard! If the opportunity arises, we will Don’t let it go, grab it!”

He encouraged everyone with the words Hao Junmin gave him.

Yes, come on, everyone. Let's go to London together next year! Zhou Yi also said.

Except for the four little dragons of Zhouyi who seemed to suddenly emerge from the dark mud and be discovered by everyone.

Little was known about their performance at the club. It is also impossible to broadcast youth team-level games domestically.

Now, they can look forward to seeing more Chinese players in the new season.

Sun Pan is in Atletico Madrid, Yang Muge is in Schalke 04, Guo Nu is in Cesena, La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A are both live broadcast in China for free.

As long as they can play the game, there is no need to worry about not being able to see them.

The only difficulty is probably He Ying. He went from Barcelona's youth training camp to a Spanish Second Division team. There is no domestic broadcast of the Spanish Second Division. Many people don't quite understand why He Ying, who was originally the most talented and promising among these five people, seems to be in the worst shape now?

Before Zhou Yi, he was the star of hope for Chinese football in the 1990s.

It was more lively when I went to La Masia than when I went to Dortmund in Zhouyi. Everyone hopes that he can become the first Chinese player to wear a Barcelona jersey and play at the Nou Camp.

But two years later, he was loaned to a Spanish Second Division team. Is this considered a fall?

Will a star of hope fall?

Facing the turmoil from the outside world, He Ying is very calm inside. Because he already knows what his goal is and what kind of path he has to take before reaching this goal. He is well prepared and does not think that playing in lower leagues is self-destruction. Sun Pandu can shine in Germany's third-level league and become famous in one battle, why can't he?

When everyone's future began to become clearer, Dortmund ushered in their first official game of the new season on July 24th.

German Super Cup, Dortmund vs. Schalke 04.

The German Super Cup has always been a very young event. Since its inception in 1977, it has only been held sixteen times. This is because there are many times where the Super Cup is not held every year, such as the first Super Cup and the second Super Cup. It's been four years between Super Bowls. In the intervening years, the Super Cup disappeared and became the German League Cup. It was not until 2008 that the German League Cup was canceled due to the European Cup, and the German Super Cup was restored.

And there are times when this cup is not an official game recognized by the German Football Association. It was not until 2010 that the German Super Cup was rewritten and accepted by the German Football Association and became an official competition.

In the history of the German Super Cup, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are the most successful teams, having won the title four times each. Hamburg is the most unlucky team. It has participated in the Super Cup three times in history, but has never won a championship.

Schalke 04 participated in the Super Cup for the first time last year and lost to Bayern Munich 0:2.

Last season, they finally won the German Cup and qualified for the Super Cup in the new season.

This is a Ruhr derby in the Super Cup, and it is also the first time in the history of the Super Cup that such a situation has occurred.

The day before the Super Cup, the Chinese team without Zhou Yi ushered in the first game of the Brazilian World Cup qualifiers at home. Their opponent was Laos. When everyone thought that the Chinese team would easily defeat Laos, the Chinese team was unable to enter the state. In the first half, it even trailed Laos 1:2. It was not until the second half that it finally woke up from a dream and finally defeated Laos 7:2.

It was originally a game with little suspense, but it almost became suspenseful. People have to worry about the performance of the Chinese team without Zhou Yi. They are worried that the national team is too dependent on Zhou Yi... If Zhou Yi is injured or unable to What should I do if I show up?

Those who are worried about the Chinese team’s dissatisfaction with the performance in this game can pay attention to the German Super Cup. Maybe they can find some answers in it.

Because of this game, two Chinese players entered the match roster.

Dortmund's side is of course Zhou Yi. What is surprising is that Yang Muge's name appears in Schalke 04's roster! (To be continued.)
