Although Zhou Yi thought about it that way, in the end, he didn't really do it. After all, it was impossible to achieve.

He could only hope that the coaching staff would arrange another ten minutes of training tomorrow.

He really liked this new training facility.

It gave him the feeling of playing a soccer game. It would be even better if there was a display screen showing the real-time score.

Just like a level-up challenge.

This completely unconventional training method made Zhou Yi excited and thrilled.

As he drifted off to sleep with this feeling, he suddenly found himself in front of that white building with no windows...

"This dream..." When Zhou Yi realized it, he couldn't help but murmur. *Ri you suo si, ye you suo meng* (what you think about during the day, you dream about at night)...

But he quickly realized that since he had a virtual space in his head, he hadn't been dreaming when he slept, so this shouldn't be a dream!

If it wasn't a dream, then what was it?

Zhou Yi had already guessed more or less.

At this moment, Chu Ling appeared in front of him.

"Is this your masterpiece?" Zhou Yi asked Chu Ling, pointing to the white building in front of him.

"Actually, it's yours," Chu Ling said.

"Mine?" Zhou Yi was puzzled.

"Yes. It was your strong subjective desire that allowed you to create such an identical building in your mind," Chu Ling said.

"Then why didn't I know I had such an ability before?"

"This shows that this thing is attractive enough to you," Chu Ling explained.

"Not bad..." Zhou Yi didn't care too much about why he had the ability to create a new thing in the virtual space. He felt that as long as he had it, it was good.

"Are the functions the same?"

"In some ways... they are the same."

"In some ways?" Zhou Yi noticed Chu Ling's wording.

"Because this is something you created yourself, you can give it some functions that the original template didn't have," Chu Ling said.

"For example?"

"Go in and see," Chu Ling reminded.

Zhou Yi walked in, and an identical iron cage appeared in front of him, but... wait!

Zhou Yi was surprised to find a display screen above the training area!

This was something that didn't exist in the real world!

He looked back at Chu Ling, who smiled at him: "This is your world, you can do whatever you want."

"Can you too?" Zhou Yi suddenly asked.

Chu Ling: "Hehe."

From this "hehe," Zhou Yi clearly felt a sense of contempt for himself...

But he understood what Chu Ling meant earlier. This was something he created, so he could naturally make various modifications, additions, and settings to this facility according to his own requirements.

Adding a display screen was just one of them.

He thought about every detail of the training in this cage during the day, and he felt that there was one place that could be improved, or rather, made more challenging.

In real-world footbonaut training, every time you receive the ball, you have to look up and find the lit-up passing target. There's a gap of about one second in between, and Zhou Yi felt that this second was a bit unsatisfying.

He felt that the passing target could light up at the same time that the soccer ball was shot out by the ball machine, so that he could pass the soccer ball immediately after receiving it, without having to wait for him to observe after receiving the ball. Of course, this would be more difficult, but it would also be more in line with Zhou Yi's actual situation in the game.

Because Zhou Yi rarely looks up to observe the situation and find a passing target after receiving the ball in a game. He usually looks at the passing target before receiving the ball, and after receiving the ball, he can quickly pass the soccer ball again, which can speed up Borussia Dortmund's attack speed and catch the opponent off guard.

Because he was used to playing soccer in this way, Zhou Yi was a little unaccustomed to the pause after receiving the ball when he first started footbonaut training.

It would be great if this machine could speed up passing.

Zhou Yi couldn't control how the machine was set up in reality. But in his own consciousness, the machine he created could obviously be adjusted according to his wishes.

"How exactly do I adjust it?" he asked Chu Ling.

"You just need to think about it. Whatever function you want, just think about it," Chu Ling said.

The first thing that came to Zhou Yi's mind was to add two more ball machines arranged vertically in the corner on the left.

As soon as he thought of this idea, two white ball machine holes arranged vertically appeared in the corner in front of him.

Zhou Yi happily snapped his fingers, and then added six such ball machines in the other three corners.

Although this would reduce eight passing targets, it would increase eight incoming ball directions.

After the actual training during the day, Zhou Yi believed that the combination of eight ball machines in four directions of the real footbonaut was too simple. How could there be such fixed passing directions directly in front, behind, left, and right in an actual game?

Just like setting the operation method and buttons of the gamepad to suit your preferences before playing a game, Zhou Yi was also customizing this new big "toy."

After everything was set up, he stood in the white circle and started training.

Sixteen incoming ball points in eight directions, plus a one-sixty-fourth chance random passing target that lights up almost at the same time as the incoming ball, Zhou Yi suddenly felt like he was in a five-star difficulty level, making him flustered and making mistakes.

The ball machines at the bottom are responsible for kicking ground balls and low-lying balls, while the ball machines at the top kick semi-high balls and high balls, trying to simulate all situations in reality.

Zhou Yi could handle low-lying balls better, but he had a little trouble handling high balls, because he had to use his chest to stop the soccer ball, then adjust the soccer ball, and finally pass the soccer ball out. This takes time. If it was a real footbonaut, and the light for the passing target lit up one second after receiving the ball, then Zhou Yi would have time to adjust.

Now Zhou Yi felt that without this one-second buffer time, he would be more flustered when handling high balls, and almost every time he passed the soccer ball when the green light turned yellow and the yellow light turned red, and the accuracy would be greatly reduced.

However, Zhou Yi did not reduce the difficulty because of this, but continued to be flustered happily...

For him, what is the point of special training if the difficulty is not high?

※※※

In the team training the next day, footbonaut training was still arranged for everyone. This time, the training time was increased from ten minutes to fifteen minutes.

After a night of training in the virtual space, Zhou Yi received training in reality again, and found that the difficulty had been reduced a lot. It was like playing a soccer game, and someone who was playing a close game with a five-star computer went to play a three-star difficulty level. He could win easily, and there was no challenge at all.

When some of his teammates were still being tormented by the footbonaut, he was already able to cope with it with ease. For some ground balls, he could even pass the soccer ball directly to the target grid without stopping the ball.

However, Klopp was not surprised by Zhou Yi's performance.

Because he originally thought that this set of training should be the least difficult for Zhou Yi.

What does this set of training improve?

It improves the player's passing ability, as well as spatial awareness and vision.

And Zhou Yi is super strong in these aspects. Without these three abilities, he would not be able to become the core of Borussia Dortmund.

Klopp got this set of equipment not to improve Zhou Yi's strength, but to improve the strength of other players in the whole team.

He believes that Zhou Yi is very competent as the team's core and brain. He even believes that Zhou Yi's ability and talent as a midfielder can be among the top ten in the world of soccer.

Klopp has a very high opinion of this player who he discovered with his own eyes and brought to Borussia Dortmund.

But the crushing defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League last season also made Klopp realize the problem with Borussia Dortmund.

In the midfield organization core, Klopp believes that Zhou Yi is not much different from those world-class midfielders.

But Borussia Dortmund has a twelve-cylinder engine, but does not have a gearbox and other parts that can cooperate tacitly with this engine.

In other words, the whole Borussia Dortmund team is not strong enough.

Since being eliminated by Real Madrid, Klopp has been considering how to make the whole team keep up with Zhou Yi's rhythm.

Now this footbonaut is the ultimate solution to this problem.

As we all know, Zhou Yi's receiving and passing ability is very good, especially his passing. He seems to be able to decide who to pass the soccer ball to before receiving the ball, so most of the time his passing rhythm after receiving the ball is very fast, but not everyone can keep up with this speed. Klopp hopes that his players can keep up with Zhou Yi's rhythm.

This footbonaut can just train the players in this area.

They have had very scientific calculations and analyses, and believe that training in the footbonaut for fifteen minutes is basically the same as the amount of passing training in a normal week.

Borussia Dortmund's opponent in the Champions League quarter-finals is Barcelona, a team that is known for its passing and control of the ball. The passing and control level of their entire team is much higher than that of other teams.

If Borussia Dortmund wants to shorten their ability in passing and control of the ball with Barcelona, they have to adopt such training methods.

Borussia Dortmund's inherent advantage – excellent running ability, coupled with rapidly improving passing ability.

Klopp is confident in the battle with Barcelona.
