Champion’s Heart

While the Chinese team players were celebrating the goal crazily, Chinese commentator He Ping was also praising Zhou Yi crazily: Amazing! Without even looking at the direction of the pass, he accurately sent the football into the space! I even I think Zhou Yi may have a real-time satellite image of the stadium in his mind, and he can see what is happening in every corner of the stadium without looking up.”

He Ping's imagination was wide open for a moment, but he accidentally guessed the truth. Of course, he himself would not think that he had guessed it right, he would only think that it was his own nonsense.

The goal just now was so beautiful! Not only was He Yingguo's beautiful shot, but also Zhou Yi's beautiful pass! Zhou Yi's pass to the offensive direction with his instep was simply wonderful! Fully Reflecting his ability to accurately control the situation and his excellent vision, Zhou Yi may actually have a pair of eyes on the back of his head! Haha!

The match broadcast was constantly replaying the Chinese team's goal, and Zhou Yi's pass was replayed over and over again from different angles.

Everyone can clearly see what Zhou Yi is doing when passing the ball. Everyone who watched it would be as excited as He Ping, because this pass was as if God borrowed Zhou Yi's body and allowed him to pass an impossible pass.

Not only He Ping, commentators from other countries also spoke very highly of Zhou Yi's kick.

This is a completely divine pass! The German commentator was shocked as soon as he opened his mouth. His evaluation of Zhou Yi's pass was even higher than that of the Chinese commentator He Pingdu. No one knows how Zhou Yi saw that space and how he saw He Ying's movement, because he didn't look up at all. At that time, all his energy was concentrated on dealing with the Korean players surrounding him.

Oh my God! Zhou Yi's kick reminded me of Maradona's pass against Brazil in the 1990 World Cup in Italy. It was equally unexpected and a sure hit. But I personally think Zhou Yi Today's kick is more difficult than Maradona's original kick, because he was controlling the ball on the spot and sending this pass with his back to the attacking direction! A Japanese commentator said about Zhou Yi The reviews are also very high.

It stands to reason that after a goal is scored, the player who scores the goal is usually the protagonist, but in this goal, He Ying became a supporting role, and Zhou Yi was the protagonist that everyone praised.

But even if He Ying heard what the commentators said, he probably wouldn't have any objections. Because he himself believes that Zhou Yi's contribution to this ball is greater than his own.

The Chinese team is celebrating the goal, while the South Korean team, their captain Ki Sung-yong, is slapping his hands hard to encourage his teammates after the initial depression.

Don't give up! We are only one goal behind! We can definitely equalize the score!

at this time,

The more realistic goal is of course to equalize the score. But even if the score is equalized, it may not be a good thing for the Korean team.

If all eleven members of the Korean team are on the court and equalize the score in this situation, they will have a good chance of winning. Even if it drags to overtime, the Korean team still has physical and mental advantages. If the Chinese team cannot be defeated in overtime, then in the penalty shootout, the Korean team with superior will and quality will also have an advantage.

But now that the Korean team is missing one person, their physical energy must be depleting faster than usual. Even if the game can be postponed to overtime, the Korean team may be exhausted. At that time, if the Chinese team has enough energy and strength, it may collapse if the Chinese team seizes the opportunity to counterattack.

Of course Ji Chengyong knew this, but there was nothing he could do about it. We can only take one step at a time and wait until we equalize the score first.

In front of the coaching bench on the sidelines, Hong Myung-bo, the head coach of the Korean Olympic team, also looked solemn.

The South Korean team was missing one player and fell behind again. The situation was extremely unfavorable.

But this made Hong Mingfu feel burdenless. In this situation, he didn't have to think about anything but attack and score goals!

He made a quick decision and replaced defender Hwang Seok-ho with Kim Hyung-sung, the only forward on the Korean Olympic team.

This is a desperate attitude.

This kind of substitution is very in line with the Korean personality and football style.

They presumably attach great importance to the quality of will and think momentum is very important.

Hong Myung-bo hoped to use this substitution to boost the morale of the players and sound the horn for the Korean team's desperate counterattack.

After the double encouragement from captain Ki Sung-yong and the head coach, the morale of the Korean team's players has indeed recovered somewhat.

When the game restarted, they launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal. Quickly equalizing the score was their primary goal. For this purpose, they were desperate and willing to pay all costs.

Seeing the Korean team attacking the Chinese team's goal, the Korean viewers in front of the TV were extremely excited. They believed that under the impact of the Korean team's momentum, the Chinese team's goal would definitely be lost.

But not long after the game restarted, they discovered that the situation was not what they imagined.

In their imagination, the South Korean team's offense will be like a raging tide, one wave after another, continuously impacting the Chinese team's defense, without giving the Chinese team any chance to breathe.

But the reality is that although the Korean team's offensive is fierce, it cannot last long. Because when their attack ends, the ball will change hands and fall to the Chinese team.

Once the Chinese team takes control of the football, the originally stormy pace will slow down. This slow pace makes the Korean team very uncomfortable.

It's like when a person is sprinting with all his strength, but there are obstacles in front of him that he must stop to avoid. And when he avoided the obstacle and accelerated his sprint again, he saw another obstacle in front of him. The cycle continued like this, making it impossible for him to run as fast as he wanted.

This feeling of not being able to exert any strength is really unpleasant.

Why this change in pace?

Because the Chinese team has Zhou Yi.

When the ball changed hands, the Chinese team was not in a hurry to launch an attack. Instead, it passed the football around and dealt with the South Korean team.

The South Korean team surrounded the Chinese team in the midfield and frontcourt. At this time, Zhou Yi let the football stay at his feet for a longer time and used his ball control to slow down the rhythm.

Even if he can keep the football at his feet for one more second, it will delay the Korean team's restart of attack by one second.

Moreover, Zhou Yi's ball control ability is still very good. After the football comes to his feet, he can always control it for more than one second. After attracting all the Korean team players to his side, he then spread the football out and fully mobilized the Korean players to make them exhausted.

Under such circumstances, the Korean team players will inevitably become impatient, and when dealing with Zhou Yi, their hands and feet will move more and more.

Under their defense, Zhou Yi fell to the ground frequently, and the referee's whistle often sounded, calling the South Korean team a foul. The game was interrupted from time to time. The already impatient Korean players became almost irritable.

They thought Zhou Yi was deliberately diving.

As long as Zhou Yi fell to the ground, Korean players would look helpless or protest to the referee about Zhou Yi's flopping. Korean fans in the stands also booed loudly to put pressure on the referee.

Zhou Yi's socks were torn by Korean players' spikes. Can this be said to be a flop? He Ping defended Zhou Yi.

A close-up shot just now showed Zhou Yi's socks, with a cut at the ankle, exposing the skin underneath.

The Korean players gathered around the referee to protest, while Zhou Yi sat on the ground and slowly arranged his socks and shoes, not in a hurry. Yang Muge came up and asked him with concern: How are you doing? Did you hurt your ankle?

Zhou Yi shook his head: It's not serious.

Yang Muge stretched out his hand: Want to get up?

Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head and said: No need for now, wait until they finish talking to the referee before getting up. Anyway, we are not the ones who are anxious now.

Zhou Yi was not in a hurry, but Blazevic was a little anxious off the court.

After the South Korean team's foul, he rushed out of the coaching bench and complained and protested to the fourth official: Shouldn't such an action deserve a card? The referee should control the situation and not let the game turn into a brutal game. Fight!”

The fourth official motioned for him to calm down.

Blazevich continued to mutter and turned back.

He was worried about Zhou Yi being injured. The Korean team players are obviously playing in a hurry now.

If Zhou Yi is injured, the Chinese team's Olympic journey may end in the semi-finals. Zhou Yi is not only the captain. Note: I wrote that Zhou Yi is not the captain before. After thinking about it, I felt that it was unreasonable for Zhou Yi not to be the captain, so I revised the previous article and gave the captain's armband to Zhou Yi. He is still the absolute core of this team. As long as he is here On the court, his teammates will feel reassured and confident. If he misses due to injury, it will be a fatal blow to the Chinese team.

Blazevic wanted to replace Zhou Yi, but he was very hesitant. The Korean team is attacking so fiercely now. The Chinese team relies on Zhou Yi to deal with them. What if Zhou Yi is replaced and the midfield loses control? Looking at the game time, there are still twenty minutes before the end of the game. This is enough time for the desperate Korean team to do something.

The protest of the Korean team players has finally ended. They cannot continue to pester the referee, otherwise they will get cards and lose more than they gain.

They just need to continue to express their attitude, and as long as they keep repeating to the referee, Zhou Yi is a flopping liar, then maybe at a certain critical moment, they can achieve miraculous results?

When they finally dispersed from the referee, Zhou Yi was pulled up from the ground by He Ying.

When pulling Zhou Yi up, He Ying said in his ear: Zhou Yi, a one-goal lead is not a safe score. What if they continue to attack you like this and cause you to get injured?

You're right. Zhou Yi nodded in agreement with He Ying's concerns. That has to change.

How to change it? Yang Muge asked.

A one-goal lead is not safe, so let's take a two-goal lead. Zhou Yi said. To be continued. ..
