Chapter 1 Zhou Yi, Blessed by Heaven, Departs for Oman After Dortmund's Championship Celebration

After Dortmund's championship celebration, the hardworking Zhou Yi left Germany and flew to Oman.

There, he would join up with his national teammates to prepare for the away World Cup qualifier against Oman.

Before leaving Germany, he left the contract renewal negotiations to his agent, Schulze.

Now he wanted to focus entirely on preparing for the World Cup qualifiers.

The World Cup qualifier against Oman was scheduled to kick off at 9:00 PM Beijing time on June 4th.

The Champions League final ended on May 25th, so with all the celebration ceremonies, Zhou Yi didn't have much time left.

Of course, he was still luckier than Sun Pan, at least he had time to adjust to the time difference and rest.

Sun Pan's Atletico Madrid was playing in La Liga, and the final round of this season's La Liga wasn't until the early hours of June 2nd, Beijing time. Atletico Madrid's away game against Zaragoza was scheduled to kick off at 3:00 AM Beijing time on June 2nd.

Although Atletico Madrid had already qualified for next season's Champions League, Simeone didn't plan to let Sun Pan return to participate in the national team's game. In this game, Sun Pan was still arranged to start.

This was also the last game he played for Atletico Madrid during his loan period.

As for where he would go next season, it was currently a hot topic of discussion in the European transfer market.

Although the Italian Serie B had as many as forty-two rounds, it also finished on May 19th. Cesena drew 1:1 with Vercelli in the last round, finishing the season in sixteenth place with fifty points.

There was no hope of promotion, but they also didn't fall into the abyss of Serie C.

For the team, the result was neither good nor bad.

For Guo Nu, it didn't matter.

Inter Milan had reached an agreement with Cesena to buy back half of Guo Nu's ownership from Cesena. Next season, Guo Nu would return to Inter Milan, and this time, Inter Milan buying him back wasn't to send him back to the youth team or reserve team.

After two seasons of training abroad, Guo Nu had fully proven himself and improved his strength.

Now, he was a very beneficial addition to Inter Milan's defense.

Of course, whether he could become a starter would depend on his own performance.

He Ying, who was loaned by Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, won his first league title with the team in the French Ligue 1.

Paris Saint-Germain swept through the French Ligue 1, eventually becoming the champion with eighty-three points, twelve points ahead of second-place Marseille. He scored eight goals in half a season. It was said that Paris Saint-Germain was considering activating the priority buyout clause to buy out He Ying...

As for where He Ying himself would go, there were many different opinions. Some said he planned to return to Barcelona to prove himself again and must play in Barcelona. Others said that He Ying didn't plan to return to Barcelona, but also didn't want to stay in Ligue 1, and he might go to Atletico Madrid or a Premier League team.

The Bundesliga also ended as early as May 18th. Yang Muge's Schalke 04 finished fourth in the league and qualified for the Champions League play-offs next season, which was good news for Yang Muge.

Zhou Yi saw the other little friends except Sun Pan at the national team training camp.

Everyone also congratulated him on his extraordinary achievements in the Champions League. Those national players who were still playing in China were looking at Zhou Yi with shining eyes.

This might be the closest they had ever been to a freshly baked European champion.

Zhou Yi was younger than all of them, but his achievements were greater than all of them.

At first, some people might have had other thoughts in their hearts because of this contrast, but now, everyone was sincerely convinced by Zhou Yi, and no one dared to have any other messy thoughts.

Did Zhou Yi achieve his results in Dortmund by forming cliques and factions within the team? The rules of the Chinese Jianghu didn't apply to Zhou Yi.

In the national team, in addition to seeing his little friends, Zhou Yi also saw teammates he was already very familiar with—he was in the national team before his little friends joined, and he knew many people. They had also participated in the Asian Cup together, so their relationship was also extraordinary.

In addition to these familiar faces, Zhou Yi also saw a familiar face.

That person squeezed out of the crowd, stood in front of him, and said in a high-spirited voice, "Hi, Zhou Yi! We meet again!"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment. The other national team players had complex expressions, and some even awkwardly turned their faces away—the only people who dared to speak to Zhou Yi in this tone were the Four Little Dragons, who had a particularly good relationship with Zhou Yi. Everyone else still had to be a little more polite.

Only this idiot would be so unbridled.

Zhou Yi was only stunned for a moment before recognizing who the person in front of him was. He smiled and said, "Yo, Yan Min, you made it to the national team too?"

Zhou Yi's tone also surprised the others—judging from Zhou Yi's words, it seemed that he and this "idiot" had a pretty good relationship?

Although Yan Min had participated in the second season of the *Green Field Inheritors* reality show, professional players didn't pay attention to this show, so it was normal that the national team players didn't know the relationship between Yan Min and Zhou Yi.

As a new national player, Yan Min was very proud. He puffed out his chest.

He looked like he was waiting for Zhou Yi to praise him.

Zhou Yi patted him on the shoulder: "Since you're here, then study hard, intern."

These words deflated Yan Min.

The surrounding teammates all laughed.

Yan Min was really the "intern" in this national team. Originally, he hadn't been selected for the national team, but because Sun Ke, the national team's midfielder and winger, was injured and withdrew from the national team, he was recruited as a replacement.

If Sun Ke hadn't been injured, the national team wouldn't have had anything to do with him.

Of course, being able to be a substitute obviously meant he had some skills.

Yan Min participated in the filming of the second season of *Green Field Inheritors*. The teammates who participated in the filming with him at that time all had a dream, and Yan Min was no exception, that was to attract attention from Europe by participating in this show and become a player playing for a European team, like Zhou Yi, Yang Muge, Sun Pan, He Ying, and Guo Nu.

But unfortunately, after that season, no player was valued by a European team.

Yan Min was the same.

Although they were all ambitious when they came out, the cruel reality still forced them to return to their respective clubs in China.

For many people, participating in the filming of the second season of *Green Field Inheritors*, apart from frequent appearances on television, was meaningless to them and didn't get them any benefits.

But it was different for Yan Min. It seemed that he didn't get any benefits either, but in fact he gained very valuable wealth, that was what he learned in the game against the Dortmund youth team, and Zhou Yi's advice to him.

He kept every word of Zhou Yi's firmly in his heart.

Even after returning to China, he used Zhou Yi's advice to spur himself on and guide himself forward all the time.

Maintain a fighting spirit, but at the same time choose scientific methods.

This benefited him a lot.

So he quickly stood out from the youth team of his club—he was originally a very good player, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent by the club to participate in the filming of the second season of *Green Field Inheritors*. You know, after the unexpected popularity of the first season, all the clubs attached great importance to this show.

Yan Min, who was transferred to the first team, could only be a substitute at first, or couldn't even be a substitute. But he never gave up, which was also the advantage that Zhou Yi valued in him at the beginning.

With hard training and hard work, he seized the opportunity that belonged to him, played better and better in the club's first team, and slowly gained a foothold.

The club he was in was in Shanghai, but it wasn't a traditional strong team in Shanghai, but a new force in the Chinese Super League. Because of this reason, Yan Min got the opportunity.

If it were in those "rich" teams in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, it wouldn't be so easy to become a team's main player...

It was precisely because of his outstanding performance in the club that he was known and liked by more people. His speed, technique, and the fighting spirit that was always full of fighting spirit on the court were deeply loved by the fans, and also made him a star in the Chinese Super League.

Strength plus popularity, it made sense for him to be selected for the national team as a substitute.

Zhou Yi didn't know what Yan Min had experienced in the past few years, but seeing that the young player he had focused on at the beginning had now become a member of the national team, he knew that Yan Min must have made great progress.

This made him very happy.

He was proud of his vision.
