Although there are many speculations outside, some of which are already terrifying, making the supporters of Dortmund and Zhou Yi panic.

But Zhou Yi seemed very calm and not worried about those problems.

Because he received the same answer from both Cortana and Dr. Braun.

And he himself did feel that his body was improving, and improving rapidly.

So the next day, when Zhou Yi went to the training base, he was surrounded by fans and reporters, and he said that his injury was not a big deal.

"I believe I will definitely not miss the two games against Real Madrid, it's just a slight strain. But as a precaution, I won't train with the team for the time being."

Facing everyone's concerned eyes, Zhou Yi said, his expression relaxed.

Hearing Zhou Yi's explanation and seeing Zhou Yi's expression, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Zhou Yi was not lying.

Later, the club's official statement also came out, stating that Zhou Yi's muscle strain was the mildest level, so it would not affect the upcoming games and Zhou Yi's future career. If everything goes well, Zhou Yi will not miss any game. Whether it's the league against Hannover 96, or the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid.

Zhou Yi's own answer plus the official statement finally put everyone's heart back in their stomach for the time being.

However, there will still be some people who are always worried, they worry that the club and Zhou Yi are covering up the real injury. They think so reasonably, because the next moment is the most critical for Dortmund, the Champions League has entered the quarter-finals, and the league has entered the sprint stage.

At this time, the importance of Zhou Yi is self-evident.

So if Zhou Yi is injured, it may also affect the morale and confidence of other Dortmund players, thus affecting the performance of the entire team.

For such considerations, it is not impossible for Dortmund officials to conceal Zhou Yi's true injury...

Regardless of how the outside world speculates about Zhou Yi's injury, Zhou Yi himself is following the rehabilitation training plan made by the team doctor step by step.

Five days later, he no longer felt any discomfort in his muscles, so he was approved to return to the team and train with the team.

When he first started training, Zhou Yi himself was still very concerned, and tried not to make too many movements in training.

Two days later, Zhou Yi felt that his body should have recovered almost, and then he began to gradually increase the amount of training.

The training also tends to be normal.

But also thanks to the fact that there were no games for two full weeks, so Zhou Yi could recover so calmly.

In training, Zhou Yi gradually regained his form, and Klopp had no worries about letting Zhou Yi play in the next league game.

So on April 2, in the 28th round of the league, Dortmund played against Hannover 96 at home, and Zhou Yi appeared in the starting list.

Before the game, Chinese media paid special attention to Zhou Yi's status in this game, whether he would start or be a substitute. Some people analyzed that Klopp might not let Zhou Yi start, after all, he had just been injured before, and he had not trained with the team for a full week, and the subsequent training was gradually restored to normal.

Considering the training and just recovering from the injury, Zhou Yi should be placed on the substitute list, waiting for the right time to come off the bench.

Unexpectedly, Klopp directly put Zhou Yi in the starting lineup!

I don't know if Dortmund really can't live without Zhou Yi, or if Zhou Yi's state has really recovered...

The final answer is that Dortmund really needs Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi's state has indeed recovered.

Zhou Yi contributed an assist in the game, helping the team beat Hannover 96 4:0. He played for seventy-five minutes in the game, and when he was replaced, all the Dortmund fans stood up and applauded him, thanking him for his performance in this game.

Zhou Yi's performance is indeed worthy of such treatment from the fans.

Although he only had one assist, the other two goals were indirectly related to him.

And his most important role in the midfield is to sort out the team's attack, so that Dortmund has a clear direction when attacking, and everyone involved in the attack knows what they have to do and how to do it.

This feeling is very worry-free. It's like the most complex things have been solved for them by a powerful supercomputer, and all they have to do is click the mouse.

This supercomputer is Zhou Yi.

After this game, the local media in Dortmund cheered for Zhou Yi's perfect return.

Now they have the confidence to face Real Madrid.

Dortmund beat Hannover at home, and both Leverkusen and Bayern Munich also beat their opponents in their respective games, so the situation in the league has not changed much. Dortmund still ranks first with a five-point advantage, followed by Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

Now, Dortmund has to focus on the Champions League.

In the first leg of the quarter-finals, they will challenge Real Madrid away.

First away and then home is a good schedule arrangement for Dortmund.

But Klopp will not be optimistic because of this.

Real Madrid this season, under Mourinho's leadership, have undergone a reborn performance, especially in the Champions League, or to be more specific - especially in the Champions League home games.

Real Madrid has won all their home games in the Champions League this season, and they have not conceded a goal! At the same time, they have scored eleven goals!

In the three group stage home games, they beat Ajax 2:0, AC Milan 2:0, and Auxerre 4:0 respectively. In the second round of the eighth-finals, after drawing 1:1 with Lyon in the first leg away, they returned to their home court and won 3:0, eliminating the bitter enemy of the Champions League for many years.

Such a perfect performance has turned Real Madrid's home court into a devil's home.

In the league, Mourinho has not lost a game at Real Madrid's home court so far.

It can be seen how dangerous Dortmund's challenge is.

Facing such an opponent, Klopp thinks it is too short to give him only three days of preparation time...

Despite this, he still gave the players who participated in the game against Hannover a half-day off. They didn't have to come to the team for training in the morning, but came in the afternoon.

Then, two days before the game, the whole team took a plane to Madrid.

The media also reported on the situation of the Dortmund team arriving in Madrid. As the core of the team, Zhou Yi had the most close-up shots.

If it had been in the past, this treatment alone would have been enough to excite the Chinese media and fans.

But now, no one would think that there is anything to be surprised or show off about Zhou Yi enjoying such treatment. This is what Zhou Yi deserves.

They are now more concerned about some practical things, that is, what will the next game be like.

The war with Real Madrid is about to break out.

Dortmund's away game against Real Madrid is the first game of the Champions League quarter-finals.

At the same time, Schalke 04 also played against Inter Milan away.

At the pre-match press conference, a reporter mentioned Zhou Yi's previous injury and asked Klopp whether this would affect Dortmund's performance in this game.

In this regard, Klopp gave a negative answer: "Zhou Yi's injury is very minor, and he has now fully recovered, and it will not affect this game. His condition is also very good, just look at the last game against Hannover."

So what about Zhou Yi himself?

"I think there is no problem with my physical condition." Zhou Yi also said so.

So, in the game against Real Madrid, Zhou Yi naturally appeared in... the starting list of the game.

Mourinho's Real Madrid is famous for playing defensive counterattacks, and their fast counterattacks are astounding.

But that is when dealing with strong teams. When facing teams that are not as strong as them, they will not adopt defensive counterattack tactics.

This team can also press their opponents to play positional warfare.

In this game, Real Madrid did not choose to play defensive counterattacks from the beginning of the game, but decisively pressed up and constantly put pressure on Dortmund's penalty area, launching a tide of fierce attacks.

Their entry into the game was so fast that Dortmund players were caught off guard.

In the cheers of the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu, in just five minutes, Real Madrid's center forward Adebayor, who was loaned from Manchester City this season, scored the first goal for Real Madrid, giving Real Madrid a start that could not be better!
