After a brief rest, both sides returned to the court again and started the overtime game.

In the first half of overtime, the Japanese team basically besieged the Chinese team's goal, and the Chinese team players were recovered on their entire line, and even the center became a central defender.

Gao Hongbo no longer expects his team to win Japan in overtime. If you have a final victory, it will be unlikely to come again in the semi-finals.

As long as he can drag the game into a penalty kick, he will win.

In the first half of overtime, the Chinese team did not concede the goal, and the score was still 0:0.

The two sides directly exchanged venues and started the second half.

Unfortunately, the Japanese team scored a goal just two minutes after the second half. The person who scored for the Japanese team was Zhou Yi's teammate Shinji Kagawa in Dortmund!

When Shinji Kagawa scored, deafening cheers rang out in the Khalifa Stadium. The game that had always been a little depressing and dull before finally had its first highlight...

While Shinji Kagawa was celebrating the goal wildly, the TV broadcast cut the camera to Zhou Yi in the box.

Zhou Yi leaned on the back of the chair, looked up at the ceiling, and the TV-broadcasting camera could not capture his expression. But from this action, it can be seen that Zhou Yi is quite regretful.

It's really a pity that the game has been played so far, but in the end, the Japanese team scored the goal...

The Japanese team eventually defeated the Chinese team with this goal and won the Asian Cup championship.

It was originally supposed to be a game without any suspense, but it was unexpected that the Japanese team won so hard in the end, which was really beyond the expectations of many people.

The tenacity shown by the Chinese team in the absence of the core Zhou Yi really made everyone admire him.

※※※

After the game, the entire Chinese team won the silver medal and Zhou Yi also got a piece. In addition, wearing a suit, he also received a trophy that symbolized the best player of this Asian Cup.

Although the Chinese team has not been able to win the championship, Zhou Yi's performance in the Asian Cup is obvious to all. Without him, the Chinese team would not have reached the final. It can be said that he has improved the Chinese team's strength by himself by two levels, and such performance is unreasonable for the best player.

So even if the Japanese team wins the championship, the best player will not be selected from their team.

Neither the Japanese media nor the commentator objected to this.

The Japanese team's championship can be said to be a reflection of the overall strength of Japanese football, which is natural.

It was beyond everyone's expectations that the Chinese team was able to reach the finals. It can be said that Zhou Yi did it alone.

Because Shinji Kagawa plays for Dortmund, Japanese media often report Dortmund's games. They are very clear about Zhou Yi's level, and it is natural for Zhou Yi to win this award.

After the game, Shinji Kagawa, the biggest contributor to the Japanese team's championship, was surrounded by reporters. Among them, Japanese reporters excitedly said to Shinji Kagawa: "Congratulations, Kagawa! Your performance in this game is really outstanding, and you deserve the best on the spot! Do you think this championship has established the kingship of Japanese football in Asia? Asian football has opened the Japanese era?"

The Japanese reporter was so excited that he actually asked such a question, which made the reporters from countries such as South Korea, Iran and others look at each other, while the Chinese reporter was particularly unhappy. He glared at the Japanese reporter, believing that he was a villain.

However, the Japanese reporter didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his problem. He looked at Shinji Kagawa and waited for Shinji Kagawa's answer.

Unexpectedly, Shinji Kagawa shook his head and said, "No, I don't think so. Just talking about this Asian Cup, I don't think we can tell anything if we win the championship. Because we defeated a Chinese team without Zhou Yi in the final. If Zhou Yi can participate in the final, the result is not easy to say. I don't think the Japanese team has any absolute advantage in front of the Chinese team with Zhou Yi."

Shinji Kagawa had a serious expression and didn't seem to be joking when he said this.

His serious expression and words scared the proud Japanese reporter and stood there, not knowing how to answer Shinji Kagawa's words.

The Chinese journalists who were already glaring at the Japanese reporter were surprised. Unexpectedly, Shinji Kagawa would actually give such an answer!

Judging from his words, he... has a very high opinion of Zhou Yi!

Of course, Shinji Kagawa's high evaluation of Zhou Yi is not surprising. Everyone is interviewing and reporting on the Dortmund game. I still know how Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa have a relationship.

What surprised Chinese journalists was that when the Japanese journalist was so proud, he came out to remind him not to do this. He was not a Chinese, but a Japanese, a Japanese player, and a Japanese star player!

This is not a big deal. At most it is an episode of this interview, but this episode can somewhat show Shinji Kagawa's attitude towards Zhou Yi...

But his words also made Chinese reporters a little sad - yes, if Zhou Yi could play this game, the result would not be that the Japanese team would win!

What does Zhou Yi think about this result?

Outside the court, Zhou Yi held the trophy of the best player, and had a silver medal hanging around his neck. He smiled and said to the reporters: "Congratulations to Kagawa for winning the Asian Cup. Now he has to ask him to keep it for four years. I will ask him for it in four years!"

Before the final, he only said that he could reach the final four years later, and after the final, he had directly locked his goal on the championship.

It seems that this final still brought him excitement. Is there really no regrets? Of course it is a lie!

※※※

On the second day of the final, both the Chinese and Japanese teams were about to return home, but the overseas players in the team would not follow the team to act together.

From here they will return directly to Europe.

Hao Junmin, Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa took a flight together and arrived at Dusseldorf Airport, and then returned from Dusseldorf to their own team.

Klopp also gave two players who participated in the Asian Cup a day off. After arriving in Dortmund, they did not have to follow the team's training, but could have a full day off at home and then go to training.

In this Asian Cup, Shinji Kagawa won the Asian Cup championship and Zhou Yi won the best player, but Dortmund was a bit unlucky.

During their absence, Dortmund played three league games, two draws and one loss. In the recent league game, they tied 1:1 away with Wolfsburg.

Although Dortmund is still ranked first, they are only three points away from the second-place league Leverkusen.

From a ten-point lead to a three-pointer, it makes people feel like they are falling from heaven to hell at once.

This shows how much impact the departure of Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa had on Dortmund. Especially Zhou Yi, as the only core of Dortmund, his departure made Dortmund's offense unable to find the direction.

In the next 21st round of the league, Dortmund will face Ruhr derby opponent Schalke 04 at home.

In such a situation, Schalke 04 definitely doesn't mind letting Dortmund lose another game and pull them off from the top position in the league.

At this time, Dortmund urgently needs Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa to return to the team.

However, although they have all returned to the team, they have been playing in the Asian Cup for almost a month, and the players must be very tired both physically and mentally. It is hard to say how many conditions they can be.

So it's not that the two of them will be fine when they come back, and the alarm has not been lifted.

※※※

In fact, for Zhou Yi, even if Klopp gave him a day off, he actually couldn't take a break.

Because he hasn't come back for more than a month, the locked room will definitely be dirtier than when he lived for a long time. All the things on the bed need to be replaced, so he can't rest at all, and he has to use his time and energy to clean.

Early in the morning, he got up and started changing the bed sheets and quilt covers.

When he was busy in his room, Cortana appeared at the door and asked very rarely: "Do you want help?"

Zhou Yi was surprised and turned his head and looked at her blankly.

"It seems I don't want it anymore." Cortana turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Yi who reacted.

"Hey, I have to! I need help, I need help!"

Cortana turned around and walked in, then frowned: "It's interesting."

"There hasn't been a person for more than a month..." Zhou Yi explained with embarrassment.

"Fortunately, there has been no one in the house for more than a month, otherwise the smell will be even greater." Cortana waved her hand.

"Hey!" Zhou Yi protested. "That's also the taste of a man. Does your women's room taste the same?"

"But our smell is even better." Cortana disliked him and began to help Zhou Yi remove the bedding.

Her movements were very quick and skillful. Zhou Yi couldn't even get in, but in the end she was driven out by Cortana on the grounds that she was at the side.

Cortana said she was here to help, but in fact she finished everything alone...

Zhou Yi sat on the sofa in the living room and watched Cortana busy in and out, and couldn't help but sigh: "The food is delicious, the hygienic is cleaned so quickly... Is this the independent living ability that I often quarrel with my mother and then come out to live?"

Cortana gave him a blank look.

"But it's really a blessing for you. I can have a good rest..." As he said that, Zhou Yi stretched and leaned back on the sofa.

Then he disappeared.

When Cortana stuffed everything she should have washed into the washing machine and cleaned Wei Sheng, when she came back and looked again, she found that Zhou Yi had no idea when... she fell asleep!

He just came to help him, but he just fell asleep without caring about anything!

For a moment, Cortana wanted to rush up and pull Zhou Yi up.

But when I think of him just finished the Asian Cup, I came back last night, and I will play another Ruhr derby in three days...

She let him go and let him continue to sleep on the sofa.
Chapter completed!
