Champion’s Heart

Zhou Yi did not continue to quarrel with Caijing.com online, but reporters still came to ask Zhou Yi directly about his grievances with Caijing.com.

Zhou Yi was unwilling to answer this because it was a question that had nothing to do with football or the finals.

He just said: Don't ask me questions like this in the future. Our time is precious, right? It's not worthwhile to waste time on people waiting for you. You have time. , I don’t have one, sorry, I’m very busy.”

Therefore, after the salted fish, Caijing.com gained the title of the idle people.

This reaction was reflected online, with everyone retweeting the comment on Caijing.com’s Weibo saying “Idle people are waiting.”

The editor of Caijing.com must be very unhappy, but there is no way to fight back. No matter how dissatisfied I feel, I can only hold it in...

At the same time, deep down in their hearts, they definitely hope that the Chinese Olympic team will lose to Japan in the final, because only a failure on the football field can give Zhou Yi the heaviest and fatal blow. Caijing.com has figured out that the place where a player lives and lives is on the court. The reason why Zhou Yi has the confidence to challenge him is related to his achievements on the court.

But if there are no results, he is just a piece of ****. This has been proven countless times by Chinese football before. As long as a Chinese player is controversial, there will definitely be more criticism than praise. Because Chinese football naturally has a negative image, Chinese players cannot escape the relationship.

Therefore, people like Caijing.com who are unhappy with Zhouyi and the Olympic team can only hope that the Olympic team loses the game in the final.

But in fact, for more people who support the Olympic team, they are already winners if they can reach the finals. Even if they lose the game in the end, winning a gold medal is still a very happy thing.

If someone wants to join the Olympic team based on their performance, it will be difficult to gain a foothold.

The opponent of the Chinese Olympic team in the final was the Japanese Olympic team.

These two teams finally reached the finals, which was somewhat surprising.

Before the start of the Olympic Games, everyone thought that Brazil and Spain would meet in the finals. As a result, Spain was eliminated in the group stage and Brazil stopped in the semi-finals.

The Japanese team was very excited when they learned that their opponent in the final was the Chinese team.

“…The Chinese team is a strong team.

We will go all out in the finals because we are determined to win the gold medal! Japanese team player Yuki Otsu said this when facing Japanese reporters. We will not give in easily! If the Chinese team thinks they can beat us easily, then we are ready to teach them a lesson!

Unlike the Chinese team, which is low-key, the Japanese team appears to be much more high-profile. Otsu Yuki's words were translated by the Chinese media and spread back to China, which also aroused all kinds of cynicism from Chinese fans.

But there is a reason why the Japanese team players said this, because they are in the position of challengers, and of course they have to say some bold words to embolden them.

For those who have not paid attention to Chinese football for a long time, if they watch the Olympic team again from this Olympic Games, they will be very surprised, because on paper, the strength of the Chinese Olympic team has actually surpassed Japanese team, this can be seen from the winning odds offered by Western betting companies for the two teams. The Chinese team is ahead of Japan.

This is mainly reflected in the five outstanding overseas players of the Chinese Olympic team.

They all performed well in this Olympics and were the biggest contributors to the Chinese team's ability to reach the finals.

Especially Zhou Yi, He Ying and Sun Pan, they are very important to the Olympic team.

On the other hand, the Japanese Olympic team has as many as six overseas players, one more than the Chinese team, but in terms of quality, it is not as good.

Zhou Yi is the core of Dortmund's midfield and led the team to win the league championship for two consecutive seasons. Sun Pan is the main goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid and helped the team win the Europa League. He Ying is the team's top scorer, helping the team qualify for La Liga and win the Silver Boot of La Liga. . Only Yang Muge and Guo Nu have relatively poor achievements, but they are also the absolute main players in their respective clubs.

What about Japan?

Six overseas players, defender Maya Yoshida plays for Venlo in the Dutch League, Hiroki Sakai plays for Hannover 96, Takashi Usami plays for Hoffenheim, Gotoku Sakai plays for Stuttgart, Hiroshi Kiyotake plays for Nuremberg, Yu Otsu Shu plays for Monchengladbach.

The teams these players play for are not comparable to the teams Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, and Yang Muge play for, and they are not all the main players in their respective clubs, let alone the core.

In fact, for the Japanese team, they should be very aware of the power of Zhou Yi and Yang Muge, because most of them play in the Bundesliga, and they are naturally impressed by Zhou Yi's dazzling performance in the Bundesliga.

So when they met Zhou Yi, they were actually in a weak position. If they didn't find a way to boost their morale, the game would be even more difficult to win.

What depresses the Japanese media the most is that Zhou Yi's words actually came true!

At that time, the Japanese team had just played one group match. When they beat Spain 1:0, Otsu Yuki shouted out that he was aiming for the gold medal. Zhou Yi responded that if the Japanese team wanted to win the championship, they must first surpass the Chinese team. close.

At that time, everyone analyzed that if the Chinese team and the Japanese team wanted to meet, it must be the finals. Everyone felt that the chance of the Chinese team and the Japanese team meeting in the finals was too low. In history, no Asian team has ever been able to reach the Olympic finals, let alone two.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi got it right! The only chance for the Chinese team and the Japanese team to meet actually came true!

After the Chinese team defeated Brazil and became Japan's final opponent, a Japanese reporter went to interview Shinji Kagawa and asked him to make suggestions for the Japanese Olympic team. Because he and Zhou Yi were teammates for two seasons, he knew Zhou Yi best.

Shinji Kagawa told Japanese reporters everything he knew about the Book of Changes.

But the more the Japanese reporter listened, the more frightened he became: Kagawa-san, why do you think Zhou Yi is so difficult to defeat? Is he as powerful as you say?

Shinji Kagawa held the phone and rolled his eyes, but he still had to endure to explain as clearly as possible: I'm just telling the truth, without any exaggeration. This is what I see Zhou Sang, but he is so powerful, otherwise why is he To be the core of Dortmund and not someone else?

These words reminded the Japanese reporter that when Shinji Kagawa first joined Dortmund, Zhou Yi moved his position back from the front midfielder to the back midfielder, and gave up the front midfielder position to Shinji Kagawa. At that time, some media in Japan believed that this was a sign that Klopp would hand over the core responsibility of the team to Shinji Kagawa, and Shinji Kagawa would take over the core position from Zhou Yi.

The results of it?

Zhouyi, who is retreating, is still the untouchable core of Dortmund. Shinji Kagawa can only assist him.

The reporter who came back to his senses said to Shinji Kagawa with some embarrassment: But Kagawa-san, we can't publish what you said, otherwise it will only lower our morale...

Shinji Kagawa also realized this. He thought for a moment and thought of the match between Dortmund and Schalke 04. Zhou Yi was restricted in his performance under Yang Muge's close guard. Although Dortmund won the game in the end, Yang Muge's relentless defense against Zhou Yi during the game still left a very deep impression on Shinji Kagawa.

So he said: Zhou Sang is not completely without weaknesses. If we can carry out tighter personal defense against him, no matter where he goes, people will follow him step by step... What I mean by 'staying close' is true 'Inseparable' is the distance between passionate lovers walking hand in hand. I think it should bring some trouble to the Chinese team's offensive organization. But this only makes the Chinese team's offense in trouble. If you want to advance We still need to face Sun Pan, who was the best goalkeeper in the UEFA Cup last season.

It doesn't matter, I think what you said is good enough! The reporter was very happy because Shinji Kagawa really came up with a way. Although he didn't know how this method would be implemented, at least it provided an idea.

Just when the reporter thanked Shinji Kagawa and wanted to hang up the phone, Shinji Kagawa stopped him: Wait...are you going to publish everything I said?

Yes, Kagawa-san...

Then I suggest you not to do this. Shinji Kagawa said.

Hey, why? The reporter was confused.

By publishing it publicly, do you hope to tell the Chinese people how we are going to deal with their core?

Ah, this... The reporter suddenly realized that he had never thought of this before.

I suggest that you directly contact the head coach of the Olympic team Sekatsuka Takasan and relay my words to him. I think this may be of some real help to the Olympic team. Shinji Kagawa finally said.

This... we will seriously consider Kagawa-san's opinion!

No, don't think about it, just do what I say. What's the big deal about sacrificing some sales for the sake of Japan's first Olympic champion in football history?

Kagawa Shinji's sudden display of momentum overwhelmed the other party, and the other party promised to do as Kagawa Shinji said on the phone.

What he said was not published, but relayed directly to the head coach of the Olympic team.

As a reporter covering the team, there are definitely some channels like this.

After hanging up the phone, Shinji Kagawa remembered what Zhou Yi said to the Japanese Olympic team at that time.

He knew that Zhou Yi definitely wanted to use the Olympics to take revenge.

But no matter how good his relationship with Zhou Yi is in normal times, if this is a battle between countries, he will definitely stand on the side of his country without hesitation.

He didn't want Zhou Yi's revenge to succeed.

It may be difficult for him personally to surpass Zhou Yi, but his country still has a great chance.

Sorry, Zhou Sang.

PS, statement: It was previously said that the Chinese team would meet the Japanese team in the semi-finals. At that time, the Olympic match rules were not carefully studied. Later it was discovered that this was a BUG. It was impossible for the Chinese team to meet the Japanese team in the semi-finals, only in the finals. So the Chinese team, which defeated the Brazilian team, faced Japan in the final. (To be continued.)
