Champion’s Heart

Chapter 25: Convincing people with reason

While Sun Pan kept using swear words to vent his emotions in his room, there was a deathly silence in the room of Guo Bing, the leader of the Olympic team.

There were four people in this room, but no one spoke, as if none of these four people were alive.

Olympic team leader Guo Bing, Olympic team head coach Blazevic, Blazevic's translator Jiang Xiaojun, and Olympic team captain Zhou Yi.

None of the four people spoke.

Guo Bing looked at Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi looked at Guo Bing. The two looked at each other, but there was no conversation.

Blazevic closed his eyes and fell asleep, as if the two people confronting him had nothing to do with him.

The most embarrassing thing here is Blazevich's translator Jiang Xiaojun, because he is a translator originally, he has no decision-making ability, and anything that happens in this room has nothing to do with him. But now he happened to hear some amazing content, which made him a little frightened - if the things he heard were casually revealed to the media, it would probably cause an uproar in China...

The silence between the four people lasted for an unknown amount of time, and was not broken until Guo Bing spoke up.

Zhou Yi, this is the delegation's decision.

Zhou Yi nodded: I know, Brother Guo. But Sun Pan did nothing wrong, so he cannot be punished.

The translator Jiang Xiaojun lowered his head. He was too embarrassed to look at it - before a few minutes of silence, these two sentences were the last words spoken by both parties.

After a full circle, we are back to the starting point.

But this time, he did not remain silent. Guo Bing was obviously a little anxious. Facing the calm Zhou Yi, he frowned and said: Why don't you understand, Zhou Yi? This time it is not a public punishment, nor is there a team suspension. , that is, asking him to write a review within the delegation, apologize to the outside world, and say that he was impulsive and was a little excited after winning. It was an unintentional statement and was maliciously misinterpreted by the media... That's it! Look, isn't this? Is it quite simple... How big of a deal is it? As for being so stubborn! You must know that this is already a very slight punishment. In fact, it is just a formality, meaning, it is not a big deal... You can understand it this way, Zhou Yi, It is equivalent to a step up, let the Olympic team give delegation leaders a step up... In fact, this matter is quite big. Maybe you are not online, so you don't know how big the trouble is now. South Korea already has an ambassador. Pay attention to this matter, it is a political incident! Can you please stop being so childish!

Guo Bing said so much in one breath, without concealing the anxiety in his tone.

Zhou Yi did not interrupt him.

After listening to him finish everything in one breath, he said with a smile: I don't know much about politics. When I was in school, I always just passed the politics class, ha! But Brother Guo, I know that if a person doesn't do Wrong, then you shouldn’t ask him to apologize...

Seeing what Zhou Yi said, Guo Bing got angry again: That's not what you said, Zhou Yi, you are too bookish, but I don't think you are such a person, Zhou Yi!

Listen to me, Brother Guo. You said I am childish, but this time I am really not. You asked me to analyze it for you. Let's put aside the emotional factors and analyze it rationally. Do you think what I said is right? ——First of all, I know Sun Pan. His temper is actually very stubborn. If the league leader asks him to publicly apologize and conduct an internal review, it is equivalent to a slap in the face. Do you think he will accept this? Is the punishment decided? After his bad temper comes up, he can do anything. When the time comes, he spits out his big mouth, the media starts to hype, and netizens start to curse. What should the team leaders do? Yes, they can expel Sun Pan out of the team, but Brother Guo, what do you think is the benefit of doing this? After Sun Pan was expelled, has the face of the team leaders been saved? No, right? The outside will only scold more fiercely. Of course, if the leaders are not afraid of scolding, then I didn't say... Zhou Yi spread his hands and said.

After Sun Pan was expelled, are the people on the Olympic team convinced? I don't think so? Does the team still have fighting ability? I don't think so. Seeing a team that has hopes of winning medals fall apart like this, then What benefit will this matter have to all of us in the end? Do you think it will have any impact on Sun Pan's personal career? Absolutely not. He does whatever he should do at Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, and he earns a lot of money. , he has everything an honorary champion should have. Does he care about being an Olympic champion? Entering the national team? I think if we really break up this time, he probably won’t care about the national team anymore.”

Brother Guo, do you think what I said is right? Who does this affect? ​​What's the use? Maybe we can only please the Koreans. But will the Koreans forgive us because of this? I don't think so. Because even if it doesn't happen Son, the attitude of Korean people towards us is not very friendly. Of course, of course, the vast majority of Korean people are friendly, but I have never seen those 'most friendly Koreans'... Zhou Yi shrugged He shrugged with an aggrieved expression.

After hearing Zhou Yi's words, Guo Bing frowned and fell into deep thought without saying a word.

The above is the result if we really make compromises in order to appease the anger of the Koreans. Brother Guo, do you think my analysis is correct? Is it true? Will things really develop along the route I said? But What if we ignore the Koreans? Let them scold and protest as they please? What impact will it have on us? Let me be rude, Brother Guo. It is already 2012, sixty-one years after the Korean War ended. The history of the imperialist powers being able to conquer a country by setting up a few cannons on the coastline is long gone. Can their ambassadors make us surrender with just a few protests? No way? China is already powerful now. You don’t need to pay attention to those petty voices, right? If you want to say that the International Olympic Committee is protesting, the delegation also wants to give people face, which I understand. But a Korean ambassador yelled twice and wanted us to kneel down to them. Why? Who is he?

At the end of Zhou Yi's words, he was already filled with obvious emotions, but Guo Bing did not remind Zhou Yi that he should analyze calmly and objectively now.

Let me put it bluntly, Brother Guo. What qualifications do you think South Korea has to tell us what to do in front of us? In terms of the size of the country, in terms of history, in terms of economy, in terms of military affairs... In what way are they better than China? ? Well, football, football, they are indeed better than us, but yesterday, didn't we eliminate them? What's the point of a loser's barking? Just because of such a trivial matter, our team will be let down The main goalkeeper of Sun Pan apologized publicly? If Sun Pan did something wrong, I support letting him apologize. It seems that he did not do anything wrong. Which sentence did he say wrong? Brother Guo, you also watched this game, right? Be honest So, is there any problem with the two penalty kicks of the South Korean team? Speaking of sportsmanship, when did they have it? During the 2002 World Cup in their home country, did they do less of the unethical things? Did they care at that time? Protests and public opinion influence from other countries? They are so shameless, why should we be accused unreasonably by them? Therefore, I firmly oppose any punishment to Sun Pan, even if it is just a formality. People are talented They don't think about whether this is just a formality. They only know that Sun Pan was forced to apologize to the Koreans. This kind of gimmick can't be done in the Olympic team, Brother Guo.

Then he paused and said: I've finished what I said, Brother Guo. You can relay all these words to the group leaders and see if that's what they say. If you feel it's hard to say it, I can go and tell them directly. …”

When Guo Bing heard this, he quickly shook his head and waved his hands: You'd better not go...

Brother Guo, do you think what I said is right? Is it true? Zhou Yi looked at Guo Bing and asked.

Facing Zhou Yi's gaze, Guo Bing sighed: That's the truth, but there are some things... It's not just about being reasonable, otherwise there would be so many troubles in the world?

If the team leader must punish me, I hope that the punishment will be done after all the games of the Olympic team have been played. And don't punish Sun Pan, just punish me. Anyway, I am the captain of the team, and there are people in the team. If someone makes a mistake, then I really should be punished. No matter what happens, it should not interfere with the team's normal preparations and competitions. We really don't come to the Olympics to make soy sauce, but to produce results. I personally don't want this to happen. Little things affect the team's performance. We will win the gold medal by then, won't you be happy, Brother Guo?

Hearing what Zhou Yi said, Guo Bing's previously frowning brows finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face: You kid, you still know how to think about your Brother Guo? You only know how to cause trouble for Brother Guo and ask Brother Guo to wipe your ass!

Zhou Yi also smiled: Brother Guo is the big housekeeper. Those who can do more work, hehe. Besides you, no one else can do this...

He and Guo Bing had known each other since they were in the national team, so they had such a conversation. Guo Bing is the deputy team leader of the national team and the team leader of the Olympic team. The two of them worked together happily in the Asian Cup. So after Zhou Yi said so much, Guo Bing was able to endure it all without interrupting him.

He has seen Zhou Yi's abilities on and off the court with his own eyes. He knows that this child has a maturity that does not match his age and is definitely a reliable person. He will not talk nonsense.

At this point, everyone present actually knew that this matter was settled. Sure enough, Guo Bing nodded: Okay, I'll help you block this matter. But you must get a medal back. I won't talk about the gold medal. It's too stressful. A bronze medal is fine! I'll get a medal back too. It seems like it was explained to me from above.”

Zhou Yi said with a smile: What's the point of a bronze medal? The quality is so poor, it doesn't represent our determination and intentions. Brother Guo, don't worry, it's definitely a gold medal!

Zhou Yi said so categorically, but Guo Bing only thought that Zhou Yi was trying to please him, shook his head and said: You... But when you go back, you must let Sun Pan control his mouth and stop causing trouble for me!

No problem, Brother Guo. He will not be allowed to be interviewed by reporters in the future. Zhou Yi promised, patting his chest. (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
