Champion’s Heart

In fact, it is not just the Brazilian media that believes that the Chinese Olympic team will be affected by their domestic public opinion, the Chinese themselves also think so. Therefore, voices quickly appeared on the Internet calling for everyone to calm down. At this time, quarreling with others is just a temporary pleasure, but for the Chinese team, the most important thing is the semi-final with the Brazilian team.

Everyone should work hard to create a harmonious atmosphere so that the team can concentrate on preparing for the semi-finals.

After all, there is actually very little time left for them.

The current London Olympics will open on July 27 and end on August 12, a total of seventeen days.

In football, if a team can play all the way to the finals, they will play six games in these seventeen days, which takes an average of more than two days to play one game. Such a dense schedule of matches is even scarier than the Premier League’s Christmas schedule.

The time between the two games is very short, leaving little time for the players to recover and train to prepare for the next opponent. If it is disrupted by that mess, there is even less time for the Olympic team. .

That's why everyone is worried about the semifinals. It would be fine if the Chinese team encountered its defeated opponent, Mexico, but it happened to be the most powerful Brazil.

Someone said on Weibo that if the Chinese team eventually loses to the Brazilian Olympic team, those public officials will definitely be responsible. If they hadn't been there to mess around, everyone would have been happy for the Chinese team to reach the semi-finals. There won't be so many messy things anymore. Of course, it’s hard to say whether public intellectuals are willing to take on this responsibility. Nine times out of ten, they will pretend to be dead...

The game against the South Korean team was on the night of August 4th, while the game against the Brazilian Olympic team was on the night of August 7th. There were only two days in between - the 5th and 6th.

After a whole day of quarreling with the media, the fifth day passed in a row. The game is on the night of the 7th, so the real time left for the Chinese team is actually only the 6th.

Is this enough time for them to calm down and prepare for the game? Do they still have time and attention to study their opponents?

Many people have this worry.

There are also concerns about the team's fitness.

After continuing to fight to this stage, the team's previous reserves of physical energy have almost been used. Zhou Yi is not a player with good physical fitness to begin with. Until this time, he still has to face the strong opponent Brazil. Does his physical fitness support him to continue to perform at a high level?

※※※

When the outside world has various concerns about the Chinese team,

Within the Chinese Olympic team, Zhou Yi, as the captain of the team, is breaking the superstition for his teammates.

The time is half past eight in the evening. After a day's training, the entire team of sixteen people poured into Zhou Yi and He Ying's room, which made the two-person standard room, which was not very spacious, very crowded. Because there were not enough chairs, many people sat directly on the bed, but this was not enough. Others stood against the wall and listened to Zhou Yi's words.

This meeting was proposed by Zhou Yi, and no one from his teammates objected.

Don't listen to the nonsense from the media outside, saying that the Brazilian Olympic team is worth 200 million. Zhou Yi waved his hand and said, he was telling his teammates about their next semi-final opponent.

But he didn't speak with a serious face, a dignified tone, or an impassioned tone like the coach. Because there was limited space to sit, he sat on the desk with his legs hanging down, barely touching the ground. He just swayed his legs as if chatting, and his tone was relaxed, as if he was telling a joke.

Hulk's 72 million, Neymar's 50 million, Damian's 47 million... It all sounds scary, but Hulk's 72 million is liquidated damages. , the liquidated damages are not equal to the net worth. Damian’s one is even more ridiculous, it is the 47 million price tag given to him by the Brazilian club Internacional. Can that count? Not to mention other things, I guess Chelsea wants to give Panpan a bid now. It’s 50 million euros, but anyone who really spends 50 million to buy Panpan is a fool!”

Your sister, Zhou Yi! Please use Lao Guo as an example, don't use me! Sun Pan in the crowd protested.

It's none of my business! Guo Nu said dissatisfied.

Others laughed.

Zhou Yi ignored the opinions of the two people and continued: So the value of the Brazilian team is just a gimmick for media hype. Don't worry, the outcome of football matches is not determined by value. Yes, this time the Brazilian national team The Olympic team looks very strong, with bright stars and a large number of stars. But football cannot be won by just stacking stars. Not to mention that the Brazilian team's stars are not very technical - most of their stars are concentrated in the frontcourt. of attacking players. Those 200 million are worth four people, Hulk, Neymar, Damian and Pato. These four people are worth 190 million. But so what? The biggest player in this team The problem is actually that their defense is not good.

But they also have stars like Thiago Silva and Marcelo on the back line. Zhang Linpeng raised his hand and said.

The two of them are not supermen, and Marcelo is a defender who is stronger in offense than defense. Brazil's offensive firepower in this Olympics is quite strong. They scored three goals in every game, no more, no less. Just three goals. It's like this in every game. Zhou Yi raised three fingers. For an attacking lineup worth 200 million, is this performance reasonable? But what about their defense? So far, they have played four games and only one game did not concede a goal, which was the 3-0 win over New Zealand. game. In addition, they conceded two goals against Egypt in the first game and almost lost. They also conceded a goal against Belarus in the last round of the group stage. In the quarter-finals, they also conceded against Honduras. Scored two goals. Such a defensive performance really disappoints the evaluation of 'favorite to win the championship'.

Zhou Yi really knows a lot about Brazil. Even if the players of the Olympic team pay attention to their opponents, it is impossible to remember those data in such detail.

Thiago Silva is very strong. But I want to remind everyone that defense does not depend on individual ability, but on the whole. Even if a person is the world's top central defender, if he is placed in a chaotic system, he will not be able to defend himself. He cannot perform to his level. AC Milan's defense was so strong back then, not because they had Maldini or Nesta. It was because they had a very complete and excellent defensive system. In this regard, the Brazilian National Olympics There is no team. Zhou Yi continued to talk. This is also the reason why the Brazilian Olympic team often concedes goals, and a lot of them. Thiago Silva is a very good central defender in AC Milan, but he is not in the Brazilian Olympic team. .Don’t be intimidated by his name.”

Sun Pan said next to him: That's right, what opponent has Zhou Yi not seen before? He and Thiago Silva both talk and laugh!

Zhou Yi is here to comment on the opponents of the Chinese team, and everyone can listen. It is precisely for this reason - those stars that many players of the Olympic team can only look up to, Zhou Yi has played against them in Europe, he is Having personally experienced the power of those people, he naturally knew how much they weighed, so what he said should not be wrong.

And not only Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, Guo Nu, and Yang Muge also had confrontations with these people in Europe. Except for He Ying, He Ying was in the Spanish Second Division...

So don't look at the media who boast that Brazil is very powerful, as if it is a tiger, but in fact they are just 'paper cats'. They are not paper tigers, they are cats! Zhou Yi said. And what advantages do we have? I think first of all, we are more united than them, and secondly, our defense is better. We have fought all the way from the group stage and only conceded two goals, although it is not the team that conceded the fewest goals. But it is also very good. Our goalkeeper Panpan is simply a security door. Although he conceded two goals, he conceded more goals than the Japanese team...

Sun Pan was originally very happy to hear Zhou Yi praising him, but Zhou Yi added that sentence at the end, which made him couldn't help but hum: Don't compare me with little Japan! They haven't encountered any strong enemies! And I lost One of the two goals was a penalty kick, and this penalty kick should not have been awarded at all!

Sun Pan has always been worried about this, which is why he was so unhappy after the game against the South Korean team, which caused some trouble.

“When it comes to center backs, I don’t think Guo is worse than Thiago Silva, except that he is slightly shorter... But Guo’s jumping is good, which can completely make up for such a small height gap. Anyway, I think Inter Milan will regret sooner or later that they put Lao Guo to Siena, but fortunately they still own half of Lao Guo.

When Guo Nu heard Zhou Yi praise him so much, he puffed up his chest and looked very happy.

There is also Lao Yang. As a defensive midfielder, he is our midfield iron gate, which is very reassuring. There is also Zhang Linpeng, who can play up and down. Compared with Marcelo, he is no less generous...

Zhou Yi praised his teammates one by one, all of whom were on the defensive line.

Every Olympic team player who was named and praised by him was very happy, and his posture straightened up unconsciously.

As Zhou Yi said just now, defense never relies on a certain star player, but on the whole. Because defense is to build a wall in front of the goal. Since it is a wall, of course it must be made of bricks. Can one brick build a wall?

Anyone who knows a little bit about penalty kicks will understand this truth. It's just that many people usually overexaggerate their personal role and ignore this point.

Zhou Yi's words were very useful to the defensive players in the team. Especially those players who are not well-known in China. Under the light of the Five Little Dragons, they would always be easily ignored, but Zhou Yi remembered their goodness and understood their value, which moved them very much.

Compared with Brazil, our defense is more like a whole. We are more disciplined, organized and resilient than them. From every point of view, we are better than Brazil. This can be seen from the number of goals we conceded against them. You can see it, no objection. Although my defense is average, I believe that our defense can definitely prevent Brazil's attack worth 200 million yuan... Hey, when I say this, do you feel very impressed? Huh? We have to face an attack of 200 million yuan in the game! This is ridiculous! What’s more, we won! From now on, we can go out and brag - I regard 200 million yuan as dirt!

There was another round of laughter in the room. Everyone laughed and thought about it, and a very magical scene suddenly appeared in their minds - their opponents on the court were not Brazilian players, but people made of piles of banknotes.

And as a South American team, if the Brazilian team plays well, they can do whatever they want, and if they don't play well, they can do whatever they want. It's just that the two kinds of free will have completely different effects. If we can put more pressure on them in the game, let them play poorly. , the cooperation between them is gone, and they are more fighting alone, then there is nothing to be afraid of. No matter how strong Neymar is, he cannot succeed every time in a game.

After Zhou Yi's analysis, everyone felt that Brazil was not as powerful as they thought, and even...

Why do I feel that when you say this, Zhou Yi, Brazil doesn't seem to be very powerful, it's just superficial... someone said.

You can't say that. In fact, it's not that Brazil is not strong enough, but that we have become stronger. Zhou Yi said. So everyone forget the past and have a good face-to-face confrontation with Brazil tomorrow! Let me tell you, there are not many opportunities to defeat the Brazilian team, so cherish it!
