When the Real Madrid team returned to Madrid from Catalonia, they received a hero's welcome from the entire city. This kind of welcome was definitely not just a casual boast in the media, but King Juan Carlos III They all sent congratulatory messages, and specially sent a special envoy to deliver a football made of gold to Yi Zhe.
"Dear Mr. Yi Zhe, His Majesty the King is amazed by your performance. This is a gift specially sent to you. Considering your status, it can be kept as a private collection."
It is said that His Majesty the King is on a trip, otherwise the standard would have been even higher. As for Yi Zhe, it would be a lie to say he wasn't excited at all, but he quickly thought about it, what's the use of such a thing? Being a family heirloom seems almost boring.
However, he was free. Due to a head injury, Zidane asked him to treat and recuperate. Not to mention the next game, he did not participate in the two days of training.
It was rare for Yi Zhe to have free time, so he simply lay down at home and became a homebody for two days. If it weren't for the international long distance between his parents and sister every day, he probably wouldn't be able to wake him up.
It's not that Yi Zhe started to crave salted fish, but he didn't know how intense it was until he came to La Liga. Everyone knows that the Premier League does not have as dense and intense games during the winter break, but after experiencing it, he realized that everyone definitely has misunderstandings about La Liga, and Comparing here, the intensity of the Bundesliga is beyond the sky, even if it is the level of the second-tier league. At least Yi Zhe, who has played almost full attendance in the Bundesliga for two seasons, has never suffered the sequelae of an injury and couldn't bear it after his body relaxed.
"What the fuck!"
Yi Zhe suddenly thought of his teammates on the national team. How did someone like Sun Ke survive in La Liga for two seasons?
So I opened the system simulation schedule and took a look. The next game in the league is Real Madrid vs. Deportivo La Coruna!
"Holy shit!"
Yi Zhe's spirit instantly strengthened.
…
While Yizhe was recuperating from injury, he missed a Champions League group match. Real Madrid faced Legia Warsaw back-to-back. Real Madrid, which had just won an epic victory, was obviously a little drifting. Real Madrid was beaten by the home team when they were leading by two goals. After scoring three goals in a row and almost capsizing, it was Benzema who finally snatched a point away from the away team in the 85th minute.
This is a cruel reality. Without Yi Zhe's control, Modric's passing is still sharp, but Casemiro, the late goalkeeper, has been severely squeezed in playing time this season and is obviously no longer able to take on a big role.
After this game and approaching the weekend of the league, Yi Zhe's head wound can be stitched out. Zidane and team doctor Olmer are very concerned about his situation.
"Recovering well, Yi. But from my professional point of view, if you want to fully recover, it is recommended to rest for a week."
"Put on a bandage, doctor, I have to appear in the next game."
Olmo was stunned for a moment, then blinked and smiled: "Don't try to show off your professionalism in front of me, let alone use your little tricks to deceive me. The opponent in the next league game is Deportivo La Coruna, a relegation target. It's just a team. Even without you, you should still believe in our strength."
"Haha, doctor, you are really a qualified Real Madrid fan. But this time is different. I have an old friend in Deportivo. If I can't play, he will be very disappointed, and maybe he will laugh at him."
"Old friend?" This time it was Olmo's turn to be surprised. He looked at Yi Zhe, obviously surprised that such a young child had such a wide circle of friends.
"Old friend of the national team." Yi Zhe added.
"Oh? Chinese? He is very strong?" This sentence obviously had nothing to do with professionalism, and Olmer became a pure Real Madrid fan.
"Yeah...very strong."
Yi Zhe honestly didn't know how Sun Ke was doing in Deportivo, but when others asked, he just said he was very strong and that was it. Since I haven't heard the news about his expulsion from La Liga, is it possible that he is doing badly? We cannot lose our dignity as Chinese people in front of foreigners!
He said the same thing even when Zidane smelled like him.
But David Bettoni, who was the assistant coach, smiled: "Yi, your efficiency as a national teammate is not very good. Although he played fifteen times in Deportivo as the main player, he only scored two goals and his efficiency was not the same." not so good."
Sun Ke, who was far away in Deportivo, sneezed in the massage room, making Deportivo's team doctor look nervous.
"Sun, what's wrong, do you have a cold?"
Sun Ke quickly shook his head: "No, sir, there is a saying in China that if you sneeze suddenly, someone must be saying bad things behind your back."
"Aha, interesting! So will it be Yi? After all, our next opponent is Real Madrid!"
"He won't!" Sun Ke shook his head decisively unexpectedly: "Yi Zhe won't do such a thing."
For this game, Deportivo has received significantly more attention than Real Madrid, and Chinese reporters are obviously more enthusiastic than Real Madrid reporters. After all, for Real Madrid, it is just an ordinary league game, while for Deportivo La Coruna, currently ranked second from the bottom in the standings, the pressure to relegation has appeared, and it is another round of games with a weak opponent and a strong opponent.
As for Yi Zhe and Sun Ke, only Chinese reporters pay the most attention. Local reporters from Real Madrid can only join in the fun. After all, Real Madrid is an international team. If you really talk about it, every round of the league may be various derbies.
But the mentality of Chinese reporters is obviously different. This is the first time in the history of La Liga China Derby.
In this situation, normal people's mentality is to watch the weak. After all, upset is the most exciting melody in football. Therefore, the enthusiastic scene that Sun Ke received was obviously better than that of Yi Zhe. In Madrid As soon as he appeared, he was immediately surrounded.
"I'm very happy to play against Real Madrid, especially Real Madrid with Yi Zhe."
Sun Ke's statement was formal and a bit nervous. It can be seen that even if he played as the main force in Deportivo La Coruna, he had never experienced such a scene surrounded by the spotlight.
"Yes, but Yi Zhe may not be able to play this time. He has already missed the Champions League group match in mid-week. His injury is currently uncertain. Have you not communicated with him?"
Some Chinese reporters were very surprised. Logically speaking, they are all teammates of the national team. It is impossible for them to stay together in Europe. They even had a very scary guess: These people are not all superficial brothers, right?
As soon as the idea came up, it was obviously an old conspiracy theory, but we can't blame the reporters for their professional sensitivity. It was really the past historical evidence of the national team that made everyone nervous.
Sun Ke answered bluntly: "I don't know, Yi Zhe didn't respond, but I very much hope to see how powerful he is as an opponent at the Bernabeu."
What is gratifying is that Yi Zhe showed up at the training ground a few hours later and expressed his attitude generously in front of the camera: "Welcome to Madrid!"
