After Reus scored, the suspense of the game was completely killed—actually, there wasn't much suspense before, but theoretically Arsenal still had a chance to equalize. But now, even the theoretical possibility was gone.

The remaining tens of seconds were entirely a time for Borussia Dortmund fans to cheer and celebrate.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the cheers of the Borussia Dortmund fans reached a climax.

"The game is over! Borussia Dortmund has won a crucial Champions League group stage match at home! They defeated Arsenal 3:1 at home!"

The television broadcast focused on Yan Min.

"...Yan Min, who came on as a substitute, changed the direction and outcome of the game. He is the great hero of Borussia Dortmund's victory over Arsenal at home!" Marcel Reif spoke highly of Yan Min's performance.

In the lens, Yan Min raised his arms and cheered to celebrate the victory.

Then he was hugged by Zhou Yi.

"Good kid, stealing my thunder!" Zhou Yi patted Yan Min on the head with a smile. "How does it feel?"

Yan Min said to Zhou Yi with a grin, "It's so cool! Haha! So cool!"

Looking at Yan Min so happy, Zhou Yi originally wanted to remind him to pay attention to his words and deeds when facing reporters later. But on second thought, it was meaningless to tell Yan Min this now. Maybe this was Yan Min's style? Everyone has their own style, and you can't ask others to keep the same style as yourself. What he wants to do is his business, and he can't control it.

Moreover, the football world is not as complicated as people imagine. As long as you perform well, no matter how many tricks you have off the field, you can still win the respect of others.

This is a cruel world where the winner is king, but also a good place where the capable live.

So Zhou Yi just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Keep it up! But don't get carried away!"

Yan Min nodded: "I know, Zhou Yi, I know!"

Sure enough, Yan Min was soon pulled to the mixed zone by reporters for interviews.

Zhou Yi watched from afar as Yan Min stood in front of the camera with his hands behind his back, answering reporters' questions. The kid didn't have any shyness or unnatural expressions on his face.

This kid will be amazing in the future...

Zhou Yi thought to himself.

※※※

After Yan Min finished the interview, Zhou Yi was also pulled over.

Although Yan Min was in the limelight in the end, Zhou Yi's performance was actually very good, even more important.

In the first half, his goal helped Borussia Dortmund take the lead. In the second half, when the team was in trouble, although he was surrounded, his performance was still very stable, constantly helping Borussia Dortmund find scoring opportunities. In the end, he assisted Yan Min to score a very beautiful goal.

The goal that completely secured the victory was also initiated by him.

Without Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in the midfield and backfield, even if Yan Min played, he would just be a headless fly bumping around.

"Excuse me, Zhou Yi, with the victory in this game at home, is Borussia Dortmund's prospect of qualifying for the group stage brighter?"

"I can't say it's brighter, but it's better than losing the game. There are two games left, and we will go all out for victory like this game." Zhou Yi replied.

"Yan Min's performance after coming off the bench was very outstanding. Do you think he will get a starting position in Borussia Dortmund next?" The reporter then asked a somewhat tricky question.

This question seemed quite ordinary, but considering Zhou Yi's identity, it was not easy for him to answer.

From the perspective of position, Yan Min has many competitors, including Aubameyang and Kuba.

After all, the number of people who can play in the game is limited. If someone performs well and can get more playing opportunities, it means that someone's playing opportunities will be weakened.

With Zhou Yi's important position in Borussia Dortmund now, it is not an exaggeration to say that his opinion can affect the head coach's personnel arrangements.

If Zhou Yi publicly supports Yan Min, what will Aubameyang and Kuba think?

Will this affect the unity of the team, will it affect Yan Min's relationship with other teammates, and will it make people think that Yan Min can only occupy a place in Borussia Dortmund with Zhou Yi's support?

So Zhou Yi couldn't express his position casually.

However, this question didn't stump Zhou Yi.

You know, as a midfielder, what Zhou Yi is best at is, of course, passing the ball.

So the ball kicked by the reporter was kicked to the head coach Klopp by him without showing any trace: "This is a matter for the head coach to consider, right? I won't think so much."

As for how Klopp will face such a problem, Zhou Yi doesn't care...

※※※

At the post-match press conference, Klopp was indeed asked similar questions by reporters.

Yan Min's excellent performance in this game is certainly gratifying, but Aubameyang's state is not bad, and there is also Kuba, the team's veteran, who has been performing very stably.

Now there are three players on the left, how will Klopp arrange it?

Klopp is also very cunning, not making any public promises in front of the media, and not revealing any of his true thoughts.

"My coaching staff and I will naturally consider this issue, but I want to say that I am very happy to see more and more outstanding players in the team, even if they are all in the same position. I believe that none of my players is afraid of competition. Because before that, our lineup has always been arranged like this." He said.

After the game, some media analyzed Klopp's words, saying that Yan Min's excellent performance is definitely good news for Borussia Dortmund, which needs to fight on multiple fronts this season. Because anyway, Klopp is also implementing rotation in Borussia Dortmund, and in fact, except for a few people, no one is necessarily a starter.

So for Klopp, he doesn't have any "happy troubles."

As long as Borussia Dortmund performs well on all fronts this season, players like Yan Min will definitely not have to worry about not having games to play.

Just as Borussia Dortmund defeated Arsenal 3:1 at home, Napoli also defeated Galatasaray 3:2 at home.

In this way, Arsenal and Napoli both have nine points, currently ranking in the top two of the group. Arsenal is temporarily ranked first because of their advantage in the relationship between wins and losses against Napoli. Borussia Dortmund, with the victory in this game, has six points, ranking third in the group, but the distance from the first and second place is three points, and there is still hope to qualify.

If Borussia Dortmund had lost to Arsenal at home, it would have been very slim to qualify for the group stage.

There are two rounds left in the group stage. They will face Napoli at home and challenge Galatasaray away.

With only three points behind, as long as Borussia Dortmund can beat Napoli at home, they can tie with Napoli, and then the last round will determine whether they can qualify for the group stage.

It can be seen how critical and important Borussia Dortmund's victory against Arsenal is now.

And Yan Min, who created this key victory, naturally became the focus of attention after the game, and became famous almost overnight.

Chinese and German media lined up to interview him, and his photos also frequently appeared in the German media.

It is a good thing to be famous, but some people are worried that he will be overwhelmed by fame.

In football, especially in Chinese football, there are too many examples of people who became famous at a young age and then degenerated.

On the Chinese Internet, some fans even begged the Chinese media not to "praise to death" Yan Min anymore.

However, Zhou Yi could see in the team's training that Yan Min didn't seem to be affected by anything. His frequent exposure in the media did not affect his training. At least he still trained as seriously and diligently as before, full of energy, and didn't slack off in training because of an outstanding performance in one game.

After playing the game against Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund welcomed Wolfsburg in the league. This time they were playing away.

Considering that they had just finished the Champions League group stage game against Arsenal, Klopp adopted rotation in this game.

And what Chinese media and fans are most concerned about is no longer whether Zhou Yi can play, but whether Yan Min can get a chance to start.

In the eighteen-man list announced the day before the game, Yan Min was indeed on the list.

But the eighteen-man list is not equal to the final starting list. Chinese fans and media believe that with Yan Min's performance in the last Champions League group stage game, it is only natural to enter the eighteen-man list, and there is no suspense about it.

The key is whether he starts or not.

And they won't know the starting list until two hours before the game starts.

But before that, the media can guess the starting lineup for this game.

In the starting lineups guessed by most media, Yan Min's name is among them.

It's very simple, Yan Min's performance in the last game was very outstanding, and he came on as a substitute, so there is no problem with his physical fitness. He doesn't need to rest in this game. In this way, everyone really can't think of a reason why Yan Min has to be a substitute.

Finally, two hours before the game, Borussia Dortmund announced the starting list for this game. As everyone predicted, Yan Min's name was impressively on the list.
