The joy of defeating Bayern Munich overshadowed the sorrow of Götze's injury, and perhaps some people didn't even care if Götze was injured or not.

In fact, after the game, Borussia Dortmund's official website released an announcement stating that Götze had a pulled muscle in his right leg, and it was uncertain when he would recover. It was also uncertain whether he would be able to make it to the Champions League final.

Logically, the injury of the team's main player, with the possibility of missing the Champions League final, should be a focus of everyone's attention. However, in Dortmund, few people talked about it. Even if someone occasionally mentioned it, someone would immediately say: "What are we afraid of? We still have Zhou Yi!"

Yes, we still have Zhou Yi.

After Zhou Yi's outstanding performance, many people immediately forgot about Götze. Some even had a vengeful mentality—weren't you looking down on our Borussia Dortmund? Weren't you going to Bayern Munich to latch onto a strong team? Look now, we can still live well without you. We have Zhou Yi, and he's no worse than you!

This kind of psychology made Dortmund's victory over Bayern Munich even more pleasurable.

Previously, many Borussia Dortmund fans were saddened by Götze's departure, but now they were not at all.

Of course, they had to be wary of Zhou Yi also leaving Borussia Dortmund this summer.

Some fans had already left messages on the official website, claiming that if the Borussia Dortmund club executives dared to sell Zhou Yi, they would refuse to buy season tickets for the next season, and their statement was supported and agreed by many fans.

Not only the fans, but also the media coverage of Götze's injury was not extensive.

The injured Götze seemed to have been forgotten.

But not everyone would forget him.

After the game, Klopp announced a day off. All players who played in the game against Bayern Munich did not have to participate in training the next day.

On this day, Zhou Yi did not rest at home, nor was he busy discussing with his agent Schulze whether to leave or stay next season. He went to a place.

"Why do you have such a ghost-stricken expression?" Zhou Yi looked at Götze sitting on the sofa and said in a teasing tone.

Götze, recovering, shook his head and said, "No, I'm just surprised you came to see me."

"Why be surprised? Shouldn't I come to see you? We are friends." Zhou Yi said, sitting down on the sofa opposite Götze. Götze's mother brought Zhou Yi a cup of coffee, and then she left, closing the door for the two of them, leaving them alone.

"Friends…" Götze murmured, then smiled, but the smile was a little bitter. "I thought I had no friends in Dortmund anymore."

"Ha! What a joke!" Zhou Yi laughed. "You going to Bayern Munich doesn't conflict with our relationship. You know, I even have a good friend at Schalke 04!"

Götze knew who Zhou Yi was talking about, the troublesome Chinese defensive midfielder from Schalke 04.

When he first learned that Zhou Yi and he were good friends, he was a little surprised, because Yang Muge's performance in the game didn't seem like he was good friends with Zhou Yi at all. He was merciless, even more troublesome than dealing with others.

"There's a question I've always wanted to ask you, Zhou Yi. What do you think about me going to Bayern Munich?"

After the news of going to Bayern Munich came out, Götze did not discuss it with anyone, not even with Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "That's great. Bayern Munich is the top team in the Bundesliga. It's naturally a good thing for you to go there."

"I want to hear you tell the truth, Zhou Yi." Götze said seriously.

"This…" Zhou Yi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you going to Bayern Munich for Guardiola?"

Götze's admiration for Guardiola was no secret to Zhou Yi.

"I guess so…" Götze paused and said.

"Do you really want to hear me tell the truth, Mario?" Zhou Yi asked again.

"Really." Götze nodded.

"Then I may not be very optimistic about your choice…" Zhou Yi said. "Bayern Munich has too many attacking players. You will face very fierce competition there. Also, Guardiola's coaching style may not be suitable for you… Mario, are you someone who is good at actively communicating with the coach?"

Götze shook his head. He wasn't. In Dortmund, he wasn't the kind of person who liked to chat with the coach when he had nothing to do. If Klopp didn't look for him, he wouldn't go to Klopp.

However, doing so was not a problem in Dortmund, because Klopp understood Götze, and Götze understood Klopp. The two did not need to chat to get to know each other.

But what about going to Bayern Munich?

"That's unfortunate, I heard that Guardiola doesn't seem to be the kind of person who likes to chat with players when he has nothing to do either. So I have a suggestion, if you go to Bayern Munich, you must be more proactive than you are here, I mean you have to be more proactive in all aspects."

Zhou Yi finished speaking.

Götze fell silent.

He wasn't sure if what Zhou Yi said was correct. In fact, he didn't even know if going to Bayern Munich was a better choice.

Seeing Götze's silence, Zhou Yi changed the subject: "Will your injury affect the Champions League final?"

Götze shook his head: "I don't know, I hope it won't."

"I hope so too, you are indispensable!" Zhou Yi said in a half-joking tone.

"Actually, the team can win without me, like in the last game…"

"But with you, we will win much more easily."

"Okay, I feel much better after you say that." Götze also laughed.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to their early days in the youth team, without the worries of transferring to Bayern Munich, only full of hope for the future and carefree, simple happiness.

Zhou Yi didn't stay at Götze's house for too long. He actually just came to see Götze, comfort the injured him, and chat with him casually. If he could make Götze laugh, he would consider it a success.

When saying goodbye, Götze did not get up to see him off, but he opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but until Zhou Yi left his room, he did not say what he wanted to say.

He thought it was better not to tell Zhou Yi his true thoughts.

At the door, Götze's mother expressed her gratitude to Zhou Yi: "Thank you so much for coming to see Mario, Zhou Yi."

"It's what I should do, Mario is my friend and my teammate." Zhou Yi said.

"He has so many teammates, but you are the only one who came to see him." Götze's mother had a slightly worried look on her face.

Zhou Yi smiled and comforted her: "I just came early, Madam."

But Götze's mother did not accept Zhou Yi's comfort: "That incident made him lose almost all of his friends, making it difficult for him to gain a foothold in this city."

Zhou Yi was silent.

He could understand the feeling that Götze's mother was talking about. In this city that is crazy only for Borussia Dortmund, suddenly becoming a traitor, he would of course be opposed and despised by the entire city. That kind of pressure was enormous.

This pressure was not only borne by Götze, but Götze's family would probably also be affected.

Although Zhou Yi was also shocked and hurt by Götze's sudden departure, he now felt some sympathy for Götze's family.

At the same time, under such great pressure, he still had to transfer to Bayern Munich, so Götze must have had a reason to go, right?

Whether it was because of his appreciation for Guardiola, or because he had supported Bayern Munich since he was a child, since he had already made this decision, Zhou Yi could only wish him good luck. He hoped that his analysis this time was wrong.

※※※

Götze's mother was right, Zhou Yi was the only Borussia Dortmund player who went to visit Götze.

Just as Götze himself said, transferring to Bayern Munich caused Götze to lose all his friends in Dortmund.

These people probably wouldn't directly reveal their true feelings in public, but in places where others couldn't see, they still revealed their attitude towards Götze without reservation.

But one cannot criticize Götze's teammates for being too ruthless because of this. One must know that in their opinion, Götze, who resolutely left, was probably even more ruthless.

The gap between the two could only be slowly digested and filled with time.

Some people may never forgive Götze, but that doesn't matter. Everyone has the right to choose, the right to choose to forgive, and the right to choose not to forgive.

The joy of defeating Bayern Munich was enough to support Borussia Dortmund's fans in being happy for a week, but Borussia Dortmund's players couldn't always leave their emotions after the game. They had to move forward. Defeating Bayern Munich was just a key step in winning the championship, but it was not a decisive step.

There were still two league games waiting for Borussia Dortmund next, especially the last league game. Borussia Dortmund would host Hoffenheim at home. Facing Hoffenheim, who had to win to successfully avoid relegation, even if Borussia Dortmund was playing at home, the situation was not optimistic.

Because they were only one point ahead of Bayern Munich, even if they drew one of the remaining two games, Bayern Munich would regain the top spot in the league.

Walking a hundred miles is only halfway to ninety. It's not time to celebrate yet.
