The moment Zhou Yi’s mother made scrambled eggs with tomatoes were put into the mouth, Yan Min tried his best to suppress the tears in his eyes. Because he missed home and his parents.

In fact, for Yan Min, he thought that missing his parents would not happen to him again, but he didn't expect that when he had a home-cooked meal at Zhou Yi's house today, he actually opened the emotional valve.

He left his parents and his hometown at a very young age and came to Shanghai, making a trip alone. Although Shanghai has always been a central city, Chongming Island was very deserted at that time. He did not go anywhere except training on the island every day, but stayed in the dormitory of the training base.

At first, I missed my parents a little, especially after my friends from other places like him "returned home" through the relationship they recognized in Shanghai, and the local children in Shanghai also returned home, and the training base became much quieter. At that time, the loneliness came like a tide, which could drown him.

At this time, he ran out of the dormitory with his football in his arms and went to the field to practice dribbling.

He immersed himself in the football world, fantasizing that he faced the defense of all eleven opponents on the court, and he had to pass them all. Some defensive players even failed once, and they had to pass two to three times before they could shoot the football into the goal.

Only by devoted himself so wholeheartedly to the world he imagined can he forget loneliness and his longing for his parents.

Over time, he no longer misses homesickness.

Every year, except for going home for the Spring Festival holiday, he stays on Chongming Island for training, day after day, year after year.

But he was not mechanical training. He worked so hard because he had an ambition in his heart - for him, that was indeed ambition. But for others, it might be a bit ridiculous, at least he would feel that it should not match the efforts he had put in. He hoped that one day he would be able to buy a luxury house in the bustling Shanghai, and then take all his parents who worked hard to make money in his hometown to Shanghai to prevent them from going out to work again. He could enjoy the modernity and prosperity of Shanghai like those Shanghai people.

Today, when I came to Zhou Yi’s luxury apartment, Yan Min’s ambition began to pound again.

He has no high demands, so there is no need to buy a house in Dortmund, just buy it in Shanghai. If he can become famous and make a lot of money like Zhou Yi, buying a house in Shanghai shouldn't be a problem?

"Mr. Schultze." Yan Min, who had been silent in the agent's car, suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

"When will I play?"

Yan Min's question surprised Shurtze. He even turned his head three times in a row while driving to look at Yan Min sitting in the co-pilot.

In the past, he had worried that Yan Min, who was young and energetic, would be more impatient. What unexpectedly did was Yan Min perform very calmly.

But why are you suddenly concerned about this problem?

"Only by playing games can you get various sponsorship contracts?" Yan Min asked.

"This...is in theory..." Schultzer replied.

To put it bluntly, the football world is a world where strength is. If you have strength, you will win all, and if you don’t have strength, no one will pay attention to it. The stronger you are, the more rewards you can get. Relatively speaking, the weaker you are naturally not much money you make.

"I want to play the game as soon as possible..." Yan Min clenched his fists.

Shultze was embarrassed: "I'm not the head coach either, I can't solve this."

When Yan Min heard this, he let go of his fist with a little discouraged look. He knew that Shultze was right. I'm afraid only Klopp had the final say whether he could play. But from the moment, Klopp showed no sign of letting him play.

He didn't know how long he would have to wait. He used to think he had the patience to wait, but now, his heart is no longer as calm as before.

"The advice I can give you is to train hard and be more active in the team's games. Then I hope Klopp can see your efforts and strength and give you a chance to play..." Schultzer said while driving.

Yan Min leaned on the back of the chair, feeling helpless. It seemed that there was no other way except this method...

Yan Min, who was re-entering on the training ground, worked hard and focused as always, and he couldn't work harder and focus more because his attitude in training was impeccable.

In fact, Dortmund's coaching staff see these attitudes. But it does not mean that if you perform well in training, you will definitely get the right to play. The lineup of a team is determined by many factors. If the main lineup performs well and has no physical fitness, why should substitute players be arranged to play at this time?

Even if it is a rotation, there are still people who are ahead of Yan Min's appearance.

Dortmund's midfield competition is actually very fierce now. Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang, two new players who join the team, performed very well, and Kuba's players who have always been in the team are also very stable. Fortunately, Dortmund is playing rotation now, otherwise it would be impossible to arrange it at all.

If Yan Min wants to play, he may still have to wait for an opportunity.

Since Zhou Yi came to his parents at home, he had nothing to worry about in life, and he could also put all his energy into training. Klopp was also very satisfied with Zhou Yi's performance in training. He knew that it was his parents' credit, so he asked Zhou Yi indirectly how long his parents would stay in Dortmund.

When he heard Zhou Yi say that it might only be one month, he was a little disappointed.

He felt that for Zhou Yi, the most important thing now might be to get married as soon as possible.

As long as he has a stable family environment, he can exert all his energy on the court.

By then, Dortmund's team will naturally be the biggest beneficiary.

But Klopp couldn't control this kind of personal emotional problem. Fortunately, even if Zhou Yi doesn't have a girlfriend, he is different from the players like Groskreutz who likes to linger in nightclubs. He can manage his daily routine and condition well.

On September 13, the fifth round of the Bundesliga is about to begin, and Dortmund will play Hamburg at home on the evening of September 14.

Next week, Dortmund will usher in their first game of the Champions League in the new season, challenging Napoli away.

Considering that the game against Napoli is more important, and considering that they just played in the national team, many international players are relatively tired.

So in the match between Dortmund and Hamburg, Klopp naturally used rotation.

Some international players who are not in good health stayed and did not appear on the roster against Hamburg.

Therefore, Yan Min was put on the 18-man roster for the first time in the competition.

This is Yan Min's first time since joining Dortmund.

Although Zhou Yi once criticized the Chinese media for not paying too much attention to when Yan Min will be on the roster and when he will be able to appear.

But this news still excited Chinese media and fans who are obsessed with it.

Before the game, the Chinese reporters who ran to interview Yan Min exceeded the number of reporters who interviewed Zhou Yi for the first time.

"I'm very happy to be on the roster..." Facing the reporters' microphones and cameras, Yan Min was very happy as he said.

I was stimulated just now and was included in the big list, so of course I would be excited.

However, a reporter asked him: "Do you think you can have a chance to play?"

Yan Min was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know..." His happy expression disappeared for half.

At this moment, Zhou Yi walked up and stood beside Yan Min, and then said: "I think the most important thing for Yan Min is not to consider when to appear, but to be good at himself, and then to successfully seize it when the opportunity comes. Thank you everyone..." After that, he made a farewell gesture.

When the reporters saw that Zhou Yi had come forward, they couldn't continue to surround Yan Min and ask around, so they had to make way and watch Zhou Yi and Yan Min leave.

After leaving the reporter's encirclement, Zhou Yi said to Yan Min: "Patient, patient, Yan Min. You signed a five-year contract with Dortmund, and it's still a long time."

Accompanied by Zhou Yi, Yan Min nodded but said nothing.

He understood the truth, but he still wanted to get a chance to play as soon as possible. However, he did not get angry because of this. He knew that Zhou Yi was for his own good and could be second place, but he could not be ungrateful.

※※※

In the match between Dortmund and Hamburg, although Klopp rotated the starting lineup, he was not completely sent to the second team.

At least Zhou Yi started the game.

Considering the rotation of Dortmund's lineup, pre-match analysts all believed that Dortmund should be able to win at home in this game, but the winning process will not go smoothly.

But the actual result was a shocking one's life.

In the first ten minutes, Hamburg, who played away, was able to stand up evenly with Dortmund, and it seemed that it was not inferior. Dortmund seemed to be really affected by the national team's game day and rotation. Although the players' performance at their home court was not very excited.

But in the 19th minute, Kuba used a beautiful long shot to score Dortmund's first record.

The deadlock on the field was broken!

In the 22nd minute, just three minutes after Kuba scored, Mkhitaryan expanded his lead for Dortmund.

Dortmund leads with two goals!

However, the good times did not last long. In the 26th minute, Lin Zhijian, a German-Chinese player who played in Hamburg, used the world wave to score a goal for Hamburg.

This player has this Eastern Horizon, but he is not Chinese. He was born in Hamburg, Germany. His father is from Hong Kong, and his mother is from German. Although he is from two mixed races, his mixed race is not very prominent in terms of appearance characteristics.

This player has played for Hamburg's first team in the 2011-2012 season. For the Bundesliga, he is not a newcomer.

Lin Zhijian was very excited after scoring the goal. This was his first goal in the Bundesliga.

CCTV's commentator He Ping also briefly introduced Lin Zhijian's information and situation to the TV audience.

It was also mentioned that he may play for the Hong Kong team, but he may also play for the German team. After all, he has been selected for the German U20.

As for playing for the Chinese national team...

In the past, Chinese fans might have hoped that Chinese players like Lin Zhijian who were born and raised abroad and could not even speak Chinese language would play for the Chinese team.

But now that Zhou Yi and others have become much more indifferent to such people.

And after Zhou Yi, we came out with Yan Min. Doesn’t it mean that Zhou Yi and the others have successors?
Chapter completed!
