Champion’s Heart

Vol 3 Chapter 33: Barrios under pressure

On the day of the game, Zhou Yi woke up from his sleep, or retreated from the world. Although he felt that he was almost 100% unlikely to get a chance to play, he played many games with Mönchengladbach in the virtual world.

  

   The system also simulates the current state of the team. In the player status column, it can be seen that the status of many players is not good, especially Barrios.

  

   As the team's starting striker, Barrios' state is black, which represents the worst state.

  

Poor state does not cause the player's data to decrease. Only injuries and long-term training are not normal, but poor state will cause the virtual player to play abnormally in the game. The ball that can be stopped may be stopped directly. At ten meters, the ball that could have been easily pushed into the empty goal may have directly pushed the bottom line...

  

  Zhou Yi can also arrange those players to play at will in the virtual world. Those players do not play, just like a coach. If this is not possible, Zhou Yi may not be able to play a few games.

  

   When he saw that Barrios was in such a bad state, Xi Mo inertially took him off the starting list.

  

   But at this time, Barrios' face appeared in his mind, the expression under the pressure, a little bored and a little unwilling.

  

   Maybe it was a moment of soft heart. In short, Zhou Yi put Barrios in poor condition back on the starting list.

  

   Next he kept the rhythm of one game a day in virtual time in the virtual world, and played eight games with Mönchengladbach.

  

   The sluggish player status has a great impact on the team's performance. In these eight games, Dortmund only won two games, tied two games, lost... four games!

  

Although Mönchengladbach used to be the dominant player in German football in the 1970s, it had five glorious experiences in winning league titles, four UEFA Cup finals and two championships, but received limited financial resources. As a result, today's Mönchengladbach has been reduced to an elevator, and it is promoted back and forth in the First Division and Second Division. They just returned to the Bundesliga from the second division two seasons ago.

  

   The strength of this team is not strong. It stands to reason that Dortmund is not in the same grade. But from the current league rankings of the two teams, this is not the case...

  

  The league played seven rounds, and Mönchengladbach won twelve with two wins, one draw and four losses. In fact, this result is not very good, but it is consistent with the impression of Mönchengladbach's consistent performance.

  

   But Dortmund fell terribly-they won three, three draws and three losses, only six points, ranked 15th...

  

   From the league rankings, Mönchengladbach is two places higher than Dortmund.

  

Although the team's performance was not satisfactory in the simulation game, Zhou Yi helped Barrios score a goal. Barrios did not score a goal in the first seven games. Zhou Yi had to replace him in advance every time. , Hoping to win the game. In the eighth game, Zhou Yi assisted Barrios with a goal. This time, Barrios did not waste any chance, but scored the ball. And Dortmund is also relying on the ball of Barrios, and finally won the second victory against Mönchengladbach...

  

  Due to the ability of Dortmund players, it was so hard to play against Monchengladbach, Zhou Yi was also drunk. He has looked at the statistics of the players on both sides. Looking at the numbers alone, Dortmund is much prettier than Mönchengladbach.

  

   But a football game is not a simple number game. It does not mean that players with higher abilities can definitely win. After all, football is a game where people combine and fight against another group of people. The human factor is very important. If a person is not a machine, various situations may occur. These situations may ultimately affect the result of the game...

  

  Zhou Yi lay in bed and returned to the eight unbearable games before turning over to get up.

  

  When he came to the bathroom to wash, he discovered that Barrios was brushing his teeth. Since there was someone in it, Zhou Yi should have turned around and walked away. When Barrios was ready, he would go again. However, Zhou Yi saw Barrios's eyes were distracted, his mind was heavy, and his hands repeatedly brushed his teeth, and the expression of Barrios's pressure under his head appeared again in his mind.

  

   For himself now, he can’t even play a game, and he is very eager to participate in the game. Being able to play the game is as happy as winning the lottery. But he can also see that Barrios didn't expect the game very much, he even had a little fear of the game...

  

  Although in a real game, Zhou Yi can't attack Barrios in a virtual game to help him break the goal shortage, but now he can at least use words to comfort and encourage Barrios?

  

   So he said to Barrios: "Lucas."

  

  Barrios turned his neck mechanically and looked at Zhou Yi.

  

   "I went to bed at night and had a dream. I dreamed of today's game." Zhou Yi spoke as slowly as possible, with a clear pronunciation so that Barrios could understand it.

  

  Barrios continued to look at Zhou Yi, waiting for him to speak.

  

"I dreamed that we won the game on the road, and... you won the winning ball!" Zhou Yi said very seriously, trying not to have a joke on his face, otherwise he might be misunderstood by Barrios. Recreating him with the "scoring shortage".

  

   Sure enough, Barrios stared at Zhou Yi's face for a few seconds, then smiled at Zhou Yi: "Thank you, Zhou Yi. If I can really score, I will hug you." He said with a joke.

  

  He could feel from Zhou Yi's expression and eyes that Zhou Yi really wanted to comfort him, so he expressed his thanks to Zhou Yi.

  

   But he did not take Zhou Yi's comfort to heart.

  

   This kind of saying is just to make him happy, he doesn't think he can score today...

  

  He doesn't even want to think about scoring now, because the more he thinks he feels more pressure, then the situation may be worse.

At noon, lunch is later than usual, and you can’t eat too much. In this regard, the coaching staff has a requirement. If you eat too much before the game, it will cause more blood to flow to the digestive system instead of the brain and Limbs will make the players sleepy in the next game, especially in the afternoon game, and their physical function will decline.

  

   So you can’t eat too much for the meal before the game, and you need to stay hungry.

  

   Then someone asked, but the players who didn’t have enough food had no strength to play.

  

   This question naturally considers that during the intermission of a game, in fact, the coach does not have much time to arrange tactics, more often when the players eat to supplement their energy. However, I don’t eat too much during the intermission, mainly to eat some food that can quickly supplement energy and sugar. Bananas are one of the most popular foods in professional sports because bananas can quickly replenish energy and can also produce The feeling of fullness makes players not eat too much.

  

   And after the game also need to add a lot of energy, so the coaching staff will require players to eat as soon as possible after the game, rather than hurry home.

  

   After lunch, all the players took a lunch break under the supervision of the coaching staff. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and after a simple wash, Zhou Yi and his teammates boarded the car and drove to the venue of the game with a bus. The Prussian Park Stadium, home of Monchengladbach.

  

  The team called the bus, which was not provided by the home team, but it was a special bus for the club, which was specially driven by the full-time bus driver of the club from Dortmund.

  

  Whether it is a domestic game or an international game, as long as it is an away game, the team's bus will leave in advance, go to the destination through the developed expressway network, and complete the task of picking up the players there.

  

  Zhou Yi sat by the window, and not long after, he saw the white stadium roof behind a dense forest.

  

  The stadium is an iconic building in any city, especially in a sparsely populated place like Europe. The stadium is a behemoth on the horizon.

  

   Prussia Park Stadium is such a behemoth. In fact, Mönchengladbach’s previous home stadium, Paul Kabej, was much smaller and could only accommodate up to 34,500 people. The stadium obviously could not meet the requirements of the Mönchengladbach club. And building a new stadium with a larger capacity is also a good thing for the club’s future finances-because the club can get more game days by selling more tickets on the game day income.

  

  The Bundesliga is not Serie A after all, the attendance rate is very high, as long as the stadium is large enough, it can always fill up.

  

   Now the Prussian Park stadium at Mönchengladbach can accommodate up to 54,000 spectators, covering an area of ​​29,000 square meters, which is indeed much larger than the previous Paul Kabej Stadium.

The match between Mönchengladbach and Dortmund at home was at 6:30 in the evening of local time, and in China, it was at 0:30 in the morning of the second day of Beijing time.

  

   This is not a good time to watch, but in this game, there are still many fans waiting in front of the TV. Because this game Zhou Yi entered the big list!

  

Zhou Yiliang's father Zhou Jianliang and mother Li Cuiyun also sat in front of the TV half an hour in advance. Although the game is still half an hour away from the start of the game, the live broadcast of the TV station has begun. — The starting lineup has come out, Zhou Yi is not in it, he is a substitute.

  

  When the guests at the rear were discussing, the picture kept cutting to the Prussian Park stadium in front.

  

   The players have already started to warm up on the court.

  

   "Eh, son!" Zhou Jianliang suddenly pointed to the TV screen and shouted.

  

  Li Cuiyun didn't see when she looked up, "Where?"

  

   "The picture flashed over, leaving you unfocused..." Zhou Jianliang complained.

  

   "The competition hasn't started yet, what's so good..."

  

   "When the game starts, we can't even see our son. He is a substitute and he will not show up most of the time." Zhou Jianliang took the opportunity to popularize some knowledge about football for his wife. "If you want to see our son more, it is only now, because he is going to warm up, and the TV broadcast will also give some shots..."

  

   But Li Cuiyun understood her husband's words from another angle: "That's not to say that you can turn off the TV and go to bed when the game starts?"

  

   "How is it possible! Didn't you say it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Our son still hopes to play in the game!" Zhou Jianliang quickly waved his hand.

  

   "Then I have to sit here and wait until I don't know when?" Li Cuiyun yawned. It was past twelve o'clock. She rarely slept so late, and she couldn't bear it.

  

   "Of course, it's National Day anyway, and you don't have to go to work tomorrow, even if you go to bed late, it doesn't matter, sleep tomorrow is lazy!" Zhou Jianliang had planned it all.

  

  Li Cuiyun got up.

  

   "Eh, what are you doing? Didn't you let you concentrate on it?" Zhou Jianliang asked.

  

   "Make a cup of tea, otherwise how can you make it through?" Li Cuiyun gave her husband a blank look.
