This is also the topic that domestic reporters are most concerned about. The game against Leverkusen definitely attracted more attention than the previous game in Frankfurt. After all, the duel with Makoto Hasebe was more just for words, but this Son Heung-min is different.
With a transfer record of 10 million euros in the history of Leverkusen, he scored in double figures in his first season and scored consecutive goals in the first two rounds of this season. The state is indeed vigorous. Moreover, in Asian football, Japanese football has the most extreme teamism, while Korean football, from Cha Bum-keun to Park Ji-sung, has long had stars with strong personal abilities. The current Son Heung-min is also recognized by the entire Asian football world as having this trend. . As for Chinese football... before Yi Zhe, it’s okay not to mention it.
So Yi Zhe could understand the reporters' feelings of placing everything on him, but he just smiled: "I said, Wolfsburg will only focus on victory."
Yi Zhe politely rejected this nonsense, but he never thought that there were things he couldn't refuse, such as the system using the name of a mission to officially eat melon online.

This was something Yi Zhe could not avoid. He could not help but ask: "System, why is this Korean guy the number one guy in Asia?"
"Dear, this is a word-of-mouth saying in reality!"
Yi Zhe was speechless: "Has he won any championships?"
The system quickly answered him: "So far, Son Heung-min has not had any championships in his career, whether for club or national team."
"That's a piece of cake!"
Yi Zhe dislikes this kind of eating behavior the most. He has decided that if a reporter continues to do this, it will not be so easy to talk about.
…
At the pre-match press conference that day, Yi Zhe was asked the same question again.
"Yizhe, what do you think of the competition with Son Heung-min for Asia's No. 1 brother? Son Heung-min himself said that he is looking forward to playing against you."
This time it was asked by the local media in Leverkusen. Apparently they had also joined the ranks of the melon-eaters, and they definitely had the intention of demonstrating. Although Yi Zhe is very strong, he is still experiencing his first experience in the Bundesliga. In the eyes of his opponents, Son Heung-min, who has already had four seasons of experience in the Bundesliga, is becoming more and more mature.
This time Yi Zhe couldn't avoid it, but he thought about it, widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Huh? Did he really accept it? What kind of honor is Asia's No. 1 Brother? Are there any standards?"
This was obviously looking for trouble. Most of the reporters' eyes lit up, and they straightened their backs slightly and waited. However, the Korean reporters were obviously very unhappy and directly said loudly: "Of course Son Heung-min is recognized. The strongest power in Asia! Is this still questionable?"
That expression is quite arrogant, as if asking: What honor do you have? Dare to question our Son Heung-min and Ouba?
Yi Zhe chuckled, now he found it interesting. Looking at those Korean reporters, he replied: "Of course, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo dare to call themselves the kings of football, and there are countless Ballon d'Or trophies behind them... Has Son Heung-min ever won the Asian Footballer?"
The Korean reporters were stopped in one sentence and looked very unhappy. Son Heung-min is indeed very strong, but he has never won the Asian Footballer of the Year - according to the AFC selection regulations, only players who play for clubs in Asia If he is qualified to be selected, he will naturally not have any part in it.
As soon as Yi Zhe saw the other person's expression, he knew he was going to stop asking. He didn't give the other person a chance at all and continued to ask: "Has he ever won the Asian Cup?"
There was another awkward yet welcome silence.
"Where's the Asian Games champion?"
Stay silent.
But the Korean reporters couldn't bear it any longer. A squinty-eyed reporter was about to stand up and ask a question, but Yi Zhe also stood up with no less momentum: "Is that so? Then there is nothing to say, let us focus on the game. "
Heijin also understood very well and left the stage directly with Yi Zhe, leaving a bunch of Korean reporters with nowhere to vent their anger. The Chinese reporters couldn't help but laugh. Yi Zhe looked back at the scene and had a premonition that there might be a fight, but it had nothing to do with him.
"Yi, why did you have to say that just now?" Heijin suddenly asked after leaving the hall.
Yi Zhe thought he had done something wrong, so his expression changed and he immediately explained: "Sir, I just don't want to lose momentum. After all, they are Koreans... uh... for us, it's like the Germans meeting England. "
He tried to explain, but Heijin was not interested at all: "These have nothing to do with my game, Yi, and I don't want these boring things to affect you. It's best to show your level!"
On the other side, Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt is also making targeted arrangements.
"Offensive needs speed! Give up possession of the ball. They have players like Yi who are good at controlling the ball. We only need to attack their goal, but defense is the business of you two, Lars and Simon."
Lars Bender and Simon Rolfes, Leverkusen's two major midfielders, nodded at the same time: "We will do it, sir."
Schmidt then looked at Son Heung-min: "Sun, I don't want you to be disturbed by the media's voice. Your opponent is not Yi. In my opinion, you are the most powerful player in Asia!"
Son Heung-min shook his shoulders: "I can't, sir."
However, the Australian forward Kruse standing next to him felt a little uncomfortable. After all, his national team had already joined the AFC, so he was officially ignored by the head coach?
…
Accompanied by the powerful sound of the Volkswagen Arena, players from both sides entered the stadium. This was also the first time that Yi Zhe and Son Heung-min were in the same frame. Finally got a chance to take a look at this "Asia's No. 1 Brother".
But the first thing Yi Zhe saw was not the opponent's expression, but the name on the back of the jersey.
Son.
"puff!"
Yi Zhe couldn't help lowering his head and laughing. Perisic asked him from behind: "What's wrong, Yi?"
Yi Zhe secretly pointed at Son Heung-min's jersey from behind and explained to Perisic: "Ivan, do you think he is the strongest player in Asian football?"
Perisic understood instantly after seeing it, but he smiled quite heartily, and commented directly and loudly: "Hahaha! I understand, Yi, don't worry, of course they are here to be sons, we can do whatever we want Dominate them!"
"Hey, what do you say?"
"It's just a bunch of drug addicts."
The backgrounds of Leverkusen and Wolfsburg are quite similar. Behind them are also the big investors, the global pharmaceutical giant Bayer Group.
Moreover, Leverkusen's paper strength is definitely at the Champions League level, and Son Heung-min is the one they rely on most.
But Perisic is indeed a bit too "unbridled", at least he shouldn't let others hear it! Son Heung-min immediately turned his head and stared at the two people.
Yi Zhe didn't panic at all. He walked up and greeted with a smile: "Welcome to the wolf's den, son!"
After saying that, he left, but Son Heung-min stopped in place, narrowed his small eyes, and accidentally heard the joke, and now his whole body feels bad - he always has the illusion of being called his son!
At the beginning of the game, Leverkusen really didn't want to give in. Lars Bender directly intercepted De Bruyne's pass, and the opponent launched a counterattack on the spot. Son Heung-min directly received a long pass from the right side of the frontcourt and stepped forward. The acceleration left Wolfsburg center back Robin Knoch behind, and he was a step too slow to catch him.
"Son Heung-min! He took the lead at the beginning! He seemed very excited. Proving that he is the number one player in Asian football in front of Yi Zhe must be his motivation!"
He Wei's tone also became expectant.
