The interview would be released when Dortmund lifted the league championship trophy at home, and both German and Chinese fans would see it.

After the interview, Zhou Yi stood up and took photos with the reporters one by one, and also gave them some autographed jerseys.

Finally, he shook hands with them and said goodbye.

Then he put on his BvB baseball cap, left the training base, and went home to rest.

Generally speaking, because the team was training and many star players were absent, there would be no fans outside the training base at this time. Fans usually came to wait outside the training base during the time when players arrived for training and when they finished training and went home. That was when they could see the players.

Waiting at this time was pointless.

But when Zhou Yi walked out of the training base through the small door next to the car entrance, he found about dozens of people standing outside!

And all of these people had Eastern faces!

When they saw Zhou Yi appear in their sight, they immediately became agitated and rushed over in a swarm, surrounding Zhou Yi with lightning speed, as if afraid he would run away!

Requests for autographs and photos were naturally unavoidable.

While signing autographs for them, Zhou Yi asked curiously, "Don't you know I'm not training today?"

"We know! But weren't you coming for an interview today?"

"You even know that?"

"Of course! Someone said it online, so we came. Haha!" Everyone laughed happily.

"Damn, you guys are amazing! Are you all international students?"

"Yes, I'm studying in Dusseldorf!"

"I'm from Hamburg..."

"I came from Munich!"

"I'm in Frankfurt!"

"I'm studying in Cologne!"

…

Everyone enthusiastically answered Zhou Yi's questions, introducing themselves.

Then Zhou Yi signed autographs for them while answering all kinds of bizarre questions.

"Zhou Yi, are you single right now?" The one who asked this was a pretty female fan.

Zhou Yi signed the star card she handed over without looking up, and then nodded, "Single, single."

The female fans became excited, "Then what are your standards for finding a girlfriend?"

"This... just have to click." Zhou Yi scratched his head, he didn't know how to summarize it specifically.

Unlike the female fans' gossip about Zhou Yi's personal private life, the male fans were more concerned about the topic of football itself, especially... the topic of the national team.

This summer, the Chinese national team and the Olympic team would both be vying for the World Cup and the Olympics. The World Cup was a topic that Chinese fans could never avoid. The most important thing for everyone was whether the national team could enter the World Cup now that they had Zhou Yi.

The national team's performance in the Asian Cup gave many fans confidence. The Wanda Group also planned to send more young Chinese players abroad to play football, following the path Zhou Yi and others had taken. All of this made everyone feel that the future of Chinese football was bright.

"Zhou Yi, do you think we have a chance to get into the World Cup this time?"

"If we go all out, there's still hope," Zhou Yi said.

Everyone was very happy to hear Zhou Yi say that.

Another fan asked, "Will you still participate in the Olympic team's games? You're also an eligible player for the Olympics, right?"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, "It seems like the World Cup qualifiers and the Olympic qualifiers conflict, right? I can only participate in one..."

A fan next to him immediately said, "Participate in the World Cup qualifiers! The World Cup is more important!"

"Then Zhou Yi, do you think the Olympic team has a chance this time?"

Zhou Yi thought of his little partners, they should all be selected for the Olympic team, because they were also eligible players.

"There's a chance!" This time he didn't use the ambiguous tone of "there's still hope", but was very certain.

The fans were also very happy after hearing Zhou Yi's answer, and didn't delve into the difference contained in his two different answers.

After satisfying everyone's requests for autographs and photos, the fans were all very happy. They also knew that today was Zhou Yi's day off and that they shouldn't disturb him too much, so they waved and said goodbye to Zhou Yi.

Unexpectedly, they were stopped by Zhou Yi.

"Come on, let's take a group photo together," he suggested.

This suggestion made the fans overjoyed.

So they quickly surrounded Zhou Yi, arranged in three rows. The first row squatted on the ground, the second row was all female fans, and the third row was tall male fans.

They huddled around Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi asked the security guard to take pictures for them.

After a few loud shouts of "Cheese", everyone's smiling faces were frozen.

After taking the photo, everyone truly waved goodbye to Zhou Yi.

"Zhou Yi, keep going! We will continue to support you!"

"Good luck in the World Cup qualifiers, I hope you can lead the national team into the World Cup! We'll go to Brazil to cheer you on then!"

The young people shouted.

"Definitely, definitely!" Zhou Yi promised them.

Participating in the World Cup was not only the fans' dream, but also his dream.

Of course, he would do his best to help the national team reach the World Cup finals.

After resting at home for a day, Zhou Yi returned to the team to start training again.

Although there were still two rounds left in the league, everyone's mood was very relaxed. It didn't really matter how the remaining two rounds were played.

Having won the league championship, they had already completed their mission.

At this time, the coaching staff's requirements in training were not very strict, and the coaches would also joke with the players during training.

Buvac's loud roars were much less frequent than usual.

Everyone was very relaxed, they were discussing where to go on vacation.

And Zhou Yi also got good news from Klopp - this summer, he didn't have to stay in Dortmund for any hellish special training, he could finally go home to see his parents.

In such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Dortmund completed their preparations for Werder Bremen.

In the thirty-third round of the league, Dortmund challenged Werder Bremen away from home.

Because the championship had already been won, Dortmund didn't play very actively in this game, but that was normal, and no one blamed them.

In the end, Dortmund drew 1:1 with Werder Bremen away from home.

And Zhou Yi assisted Marc in scoring Dortmund's equalizing goal.

Although they didn't win, it didn't affect everyone's good mood.

After this game, everyone began to look forward to the award ceremony and celebratory parade held at home.

After the game with Werder Bremen, Dortmund had already made preparations for the championship celebration. Because there was an award ceremony at the end of this game, and there was also a championship parade after the game, a large number of fans around were preparing to spend the night indoors to celebrate after this game.

So the hotels in Dortmund were basically fully booked at this time.

The Dortmund municipal management agency had also begun to transform the area around the Borsigplatz to make it more suitable for celebrations.

Dortmund's public transport system was also ready to ensure that it could transport 400,000 fans.

In addition, the most important thing was safety. Dortmund's police had also made preparations and were waiting for this carnival to begin.

※※※

In the last round of the league, every Dortmund fan who came to the Westfalenstadion to watch the game came with a carnival mood.

Their singing never stopped from the beginning to the end of the game.

And the team didn't disappoint them either.

In this last home game, they ended the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season with a complete victory.

Zhou Yi provided three assists in the game, helping Marc Wagner complete a hat-trick.

In the end, Dortmund defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 3:0 at home.

After the game, a podium was set up on the field.

Later, Dortmund's players took the stage one by one to receive their gold medals.

And captain Kehl was the last to take the stage, accepting the silver trophy symbolizing the Bundesliga championship.

When he raised the trophy high, yellow and black confetti sprayed out from behind the podium, and the song "We Are the Champions" sounded on the scene. The cheers of the stadium reached their climax.

After the award ceremony, the Dortmund players returned to the locker room to shower and change clothes, and then collectively took a double-decker bus to participate in the parade.

On the bus, Zhou Yi and his teammates saw that the sides of the road were densely packed with fans wearing Dortmund jerseys. They waved, cheered, and sang to the players on the bus.

This was the first time Zhou Yi had experienced such a scene. Although he had seen many championship celebrations of different teams on TV before, the feeling of experiencing it personally was completely different from watching it through a TV screen.

He waved his arms to the fans, and he received a warm response from many fans.

Some fans even climbed onto the lampposts. When the bus passed by them, as long as they leaned their bodies forward a little, they could almost grab the hands of the players on the second floor of the bus...

Zhou Yi had to remind them to pay attention to safety. But these fans laughed and said, "There are people everywhere in front, even if I fall, it's okay, haha!"

※※※

The bus finally arrived at the Borsigplatz after dark, where it was already brightly lit and crowded with people.

The entire Dortmund team, who had climbed onto the high platform, showed the league championship trophy to the fans, which won cheers from the fans present. The shouts were as loud as a rock concert with hundreds of thousands of people participating at the same time...

The air stirred up by the sound waves even blew Zhou Yi's hair.

Afterwards, team coach Klopp and captain Kehl gave speeches to the fans one after another.

Logically speaking, it should have ended here, but after Kehl finished speaking, he suddenly said, "Next, let Zhou Yi say a few words!"

After speaking, he directly handed the microphone to Zhou Yi next to him...

Zhou Yi really didn't expect that standing next to the captain would lead to such an unexpected turn of events. He was completely unprepared.

The fans below became excited, shouting Zhou Yi's name and asking him to say a few words.

So Zhou Yi had no choice but to say a few words.

Really just a few words.

The first sentence: "I'm so happy to see you guys so excited!"

The second sentence: "But this championship is just the beginning!"

The square erupted in cheers.
