Yan Min and Zhou Yi flew back to Beijing from Prague the next day after the European Super Cup.

He was also included in the training list of this national team.

The last time he was selected for the national team was only because of an accidental injury from an international player in the same position.

Now seeing him in the national team again makes some embarrassing for some of the national team teammates who laughed at him. Who would have thought that this young man who spoke arrogantly and had a good mind could successfully join Dortmund in just a few months?

Although he didn't play a formal game in Dortmund, he was able to receive high-level training in Dortmund, which would definitely be a huge help to him.

Everyone thought that after this accident, Yan Min wanted to be selected for the national team again. He knew when he would have to wait. Perhaps that was his only record of playing games in the national team.

He was indeed not selected for the national team in the East Asian Cup in July, but at that time it was because Yan Min wanted to join Dortmund. Because he didn't know when the transfer would be successfully finalized, the Chinese team did not recruit Yan Min. It was not because Yan Min was not qualified to participate in the national team consisting of all domestic players.

Now, Yan Min is not only selected for the national team again, but also selected as a returnee. It really makes the international teammates who were not optimistic about his future are uncomfortable.

However, no one dared to face Yan Min and express their disdain in person. No one dared to say to Yan Min, "You are not even a substitute in Dortmund."

On the one hand, they are not even qualified to play as a substitute at Dortmund. On the other hand, it is obvious that Yan Min is now following Zhou Yi. Although Zhou Yi is not in the team and has no faction, it does not mean that his people can be easily confronted by others.

You know, as the head coach, Gao Hongbo also attaches great importance to Zhou Yi's opinions.

If anyone really offended Zhou Yi, what if he said something more in the ear of Director Gao?

Listen to the speech Gao Shuai before the training camp begins. Those six words are loud and vivid, and they are full of murderous intent when they see them.

Maybe Coach Gao was waiting for someone to hit him in the gun so that he could kill the Qiqi to prove that his previous words were not just sayings.

At this time, whoever touches this bad mind will get into the mind.

※※※

The training time was very short. On September 4, the Chinese national team welcomed its first warm-up opponent, Singapore, in Tianjin.

In this game, Gao Hongbo did not send out all the main lineups as soon as he came up, or there was no main lineup at all. During the pre-match training, Chinese media found that Gao Hongbo did not seem to have to determine the main lineup. When the team was playing in the team, he always let the players get mixed up.

Whatever training vest color is that it is impossible to tell who will start against Singapore.

The impression of a fixed lineup that was left to everyone in the qualifiers in the past has now been broken.

This shows that Gao Hongbo does not want to fix the starting lineup now. It is nearly 300 days away from the World Cup. He has plenty of time to inspect domestic players and find the most suitable teamwork.

Zhou Yi got the opportunity to start in this game, but neither He Ying, Sun Pan nor Guo Nu started. Among the "Five Little Dragons", only Zhou Yi and Yang Muge started.

In this game, Zhou Yi only played for forty-five minutes and was replaced during the halftime break.

In the first half, the Chinese team led Singapore 3:0, and there were several good opportunities that were not seized.

In the second half, He Ying, Sun Pan and Guo Nu both played on the court. In the 68th minute, Yan Min was also replaced.

The Chinese team scored three more goals in the second half, but also conceded one.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Singapore 6-1 and won their first warm-up match in preparation for the World Cup.

After the game, Zhou Yi accepted an interview with the TV station: "...The strength of the opponent is not important. The most important thing is to use this game to get the players into the rhythm and find their state. Everything is for the World Cup in June next year..."

Four days later, the Chinese team played against Malaysia. Zhou Yi did not start this time, so he and He Ying were replaced in the second half.

Although the Chinese team also won this game, the score won was not as big as the previous game.

This time, the Chinese team defeated Malaysia 3-0.

Both warm-up matches were won, but the result was not what everyone paid attention to. What the Chinese team showed in the game was what everyone paid attention to.

Gao Hongbo tried different personnel combinations and even tried different formations in these two games. The performance of the Chinese team was not very good. After all, it had not been together for a while to train and compete. Moreover, the Chinese Super League was in full swing at this time, and many players were not in good physical condition and looked very tired when playing in the national team.

After two warm-up matches, the Chinese team was disbanded in Tianjin and the players returned to their respective clubs.

Zhou Yi, Yan Min and Yang Muge flew back to Germany on a flight.

At the airport, Yang Muge, Zhou Yi, Yan Min and the others said goodbye, and he was going back to Schalke.

Zhou Yi and Yan Min were picked up by their joint agent Shurce. They did not go back to their respective homes, but went back to Zhou Yi's new home.

There, his parents were already waiting for them.

Zhou Yi had already agreed to invite Yan Min and Shuerce to his house for dinner and try his mother's skills.

Li Cuiyun also made full preparations. The most she brought from China this time was various Chinese seasonings, and she was afraid that she would not be able to buy such authentic ones here.

Shurtze has seen Zhou Yi’s parents and has also tasted Zhou Yi’s mother’s skills, so I was very happy to hear that he could eat delicious food in Germany.

Yan Min was a little nervous - he had never met Zhou Yi's parents before, and he was nervous about visiting Zhou Yi's house.

In the car, Zhou Yi noticed Yan Min's abnormality and asked, "Why, I feel uncomfortable?"

Yan Min quickly shook his head: "No, I'm a little nervous..."

"What are you nervous? You are visiting my house, not visiting your girlfriend's house to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law..." Zhou Yi teased.

Unexpectedly, Yan Min said: "I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing at that time..."

Zhou Yi was amused when he heard this: "Do you know your mouth too?"

After teasing Yan Min, Zhou Yi's heart was still a little warm - although Yan Min sometimes made mistakes, he still thought about others in his heart.

So Zhou Yi comforted him: "Don't worry, my parents are easy to get along with. Look at me." He pointed at his face.

Yan Min looked at him in confusion, not understanding what it means to look at him.

"Look at me, can parents with children like me be difficult to get along with?" Zhou Yi boasted.

Yan Min laughed when he heard this. Zhou Yi is the most accomplished among Chinese players. He has achieved such a high score at a young age. Most people have already knocked their tails to the sky. They are somewhat young and frivolous. It is very common to put on airs on weekdays, and they are even called approachable.

But Yan Min didn't see these things at all in Zhou Yi. He had no airs and never used his achievements to suppress others. He treated them equally in the team whether they were newcomers or veterans. Yan Min, a young man who just came to Dortmund, had gained a foothold thanks to his help. After he broke up with his agent, he immediately introduced himself to his current agent intimately. When he was facing excessive attention from the reporter, he took the initiative to stand up for him to divert the attention of the media and help him speak...

Yan Min and Zhou Yi had no contact before, and their understanding of him was limited to media reports and watching his games.

But since he came to Dortmund, he realized that Zhou Yi was different from what he imagined. It was rare for a successful player to do this. Think about the people he met when he played football in China, who were also young and had not even one-tenth of Zhou Yi, but all his nostrils were upturned and extremely proud.

With this comparison, he felt how correct he was to play football abroad. After broadening his horizons and seeing a broader world, he naturally couldn't become proud. Zhou Yi is so low-key and humble, so what qualifications do you people have to show off?

After Zhou Yi said this, Yan Min's nervousness eased a lot.

※※※

The agent Shurce drove the car directly into the underground garage of the apartment building bought by Zhouyi. The three of them took their luggage and got out of the car. They opened the door of the exclusive elevator with their fingerprint locks. When they walked into the elevator, they used the fingerprint lock to verify their identity. The elevator directly rose from the underground to the top floor where he lived - the top floor.

Yan Min was stunned when he saw this scene - if it weren't for Zhou Yi's guidance, neither he nor Shurtze would have been able to enter at all.

The security of this place is really good. I don’t know when I can buy a house like this... No, isn’t my goal to live in a villa?

Just as Yan Min was thinking about something, Zhou Yi said: "It's here." to awaken him.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Zhou Yi's door appeared in front of him.

"Welcome to my house as a guest." After Zhou Yi said that, he took out the key and walked out first, dragged his luggage to open the door, and then shouted inside: "Dad! Mom! I'm back!"

As soon as he finished calling, he saw his father walking out of the inside with a rag: "Oh, wife! Let's see who is back!"

However, Li Cuiyun did not respond to him, and what she responded to was the boiling sound of cooking in the kitchen.

Seeing this, Zhou Jianliang quickly turned around and went to the kitchen, and instead left his son at the door.

Zhou Yi didn't care and turned around to greet Shuerce and Yan Min - in fact, it was mainly to greet Yan Min. Shuerce had met Zhou Yi's parents, and this room was not the first time he had come to, so he took the initiative to take off his shoes at the door, but Yan Min was a little restrained.

After coming in, he looked around and was shocked by the spaciousness and brightness of the house - he had never seen such a large house in his life. He originally thought that only a villa would be so spacious. How spacious can a flat-story building be? Now he feels that he has little knowledge. How can this one house be spacious on one floor?

While Yan Min was stunned, Li Cuiyun was finally called out from the kitchen by her husband. When she saw Zhou Yi, she was very happy and wiped her hands with an apron, but before she could wipe it quickly, Zhou Yi took the initiative to hug her.

Then he introduced Yan Min to his mother - Shurce had seen him a long time ago, so there was no need to introduce him.

"This is Yan Min, my teammates in Dortmund and the national team." Zhou Yi pointed at Yan Min and said.

Yan Min bowed shyly: "Hello uncle and aunt."

"I've seen it, you're welcome. We've all heard Zhou Yi talk about you. It's amazing to be able to come to Europe to play football..." Li Cuiyun praised.

This time, Yan Min did not hold his neck up and said that he was indeed very powerful, but said modestly that he was still far from Zhou Yi... Of course, what he said was the truth, it was not as modest, because he was indeed far from Zhou Yi.

Li Cuiyun and Yan Min said a few simple words and returned to the kitchen. After all, she still has to be responsible for cooking.

Before leaving, she complained to her son: "The foreigner's kitchen is open, the range hood is not good, and the room is full of smoke..."

Zhou Yi smiled and sucked hard, then looked intoxicated: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all fragrant when you smell it!"

This is the taste of mother, the taste of home, and the taste of hometown.

Yan Min couldn't help but sniff, then nodded, it was indeed very fragrant.

Although it is not the taste of mother, the taste of Chinese cuisine is the taste of motherland for a wanderer from another country.

When eating, the feeling is even more obvious.

Looking at the table of sumptuous dishes, Yan Min did not rush to move his chopsticks, but was stunned.

Zhou Yi thought he was worried that the oil and calories were exceeded, so he comforted him: "Professional players should indeed strictly avoid food, but you don't have to worry, because you may have just had this opportunity in Dortmund in the past few years. Thank you for your blessing, I only have this time. Ha!"

Li Cuiyun also enthusiastically picked up food for Yan Min: "Come on, try this fried egg with tomatoes. I don't know if you are used to eating..."

Yan Min took a bite and lowered his head and stopped moving his chopsticks.

Li Cuiyun was very surprised: "What's wrong? Isn't it to your appetite?" Then she tasted it herself and said to herself: "Salt is added..."

But she stopped talking immediately because she guessed the reason.

Yan Min, this child, probably misses home...

In any case, in Li Cuiyun's opinion, Yan Min is still a child, a child, alone away from her hometown parents, and goes to this unfamiliar place to work... Li Cuiyun suddenly thought of her son Zhou Yi. Although now the mother and son can meet in this spacious and bright luxury apartment in Dortmund, and eat home-cooked dishes happily.

But when Zhou Yi was working alone in Dortmund, the longing for Li Cuiyun was a torment for him. She never asked her son whether he had any questions like homesickness in Germany, because she did not want to interfere with her son's determination to fight in Germany. Since they were all out and not living like this, wouldn't that waste time and study?

Li Cuiyun didn't know whether Yan Min could have such a bright future as her son, but she thought that at this time, Yan Min's mother, who was far away in China, might have the same mood as she did at the beginning - she hoped that her son could make a name for herself, but was tortured by the pain of missing her.

She wanted to comfort Yan Min, but before she could speak, Yan Min had already digged up the rice in big mouthfuls again, and kept picking up all kinds of dishes into her bowl without hesitation.

The way he ate was scattered, it was exactly the same as when Shuerce next to him had the first time he ate the dishes made by Li Cuiyun.

Zhou Yi looked at Yan Min who was doing this next to him, and did not tease him or advise him to be slower, but instead took his own food as if no one else was around.

At this time, what Yan Min needs may not be enthusiastic about his well-being, but let him eat quietly and concentrate on himself.
