Champion’s Heart

When the Chinese team players scored, the Japanese TV commentator shouted regretfully: Ahhh! The ball was lost! The Chinese team equalized the score! The person who scored the goal played for Valladolid last season. He Ying!

The Japanese players were also hit by this conceding goal.

After scoring, they were full of confidence in the tactics they adhered to, believing that as long as they worked harder, they could get a two-goal lead. Unexpectedly, the two-goal lead did not come, but the bad news of the equalizer came...

When they just lost the ball, they all stood on the court dumbfounded, and it wasn't until later that things got a little better.

But the depression and pain on everyone's face cannot be concealed.

Shinji Kagawa, who was sitting in the box, saw that his compatriots were a little stunned by the ball, but he was not surprised.

In fact, he had an ominous premonition when he saw the Chinese team constantly passing the ball back, even to the goalkeeper's feet.

He is very familiar with this routine. This is how everyone played when he was in Dortmund. Naturally, it is because of Zhou Yi.

But it was a pity that he was in the box at that time, not on the coaching bench, so he couldn't remind the Olympic team's head coach Sekitsuka Takashi and the Olympic team players. He could only watch them press forward blindly, and finally pressed into the center circle. Nearby, this is a very dangerous level, but the players of the Japanese Olympic team seem to be completely unaware. They only have football in their eyes, and their minds are full of how to intercept the ball from the Chinese team. Other than that, they don’t care about anything and can’t think of anything. …

How is this possible without problems?

He used to be teammates with Zhou Yi, and he trained and competed with Zhou Yi. He always felt that Zhou Yi could drive everyone, but he was not very clear about why, and even thought it was Zhou Yisang's magic power.

But how can there be any magic power in the real world?

He was in the box watching this game from above, and only then did he realize why Zhou Yi had such magic power. Because he is using the pass to control the game and everyone involved in the game!

How amazing!

That’s why the Chinese Olympic team can make it all the way to the finals.

Shinji Kagawa was filled with admiration in his heart.

Zhou Yi accurately sent a long pass.

And He Ying's forward insertion was also very timely. What a beautiful goal! ! After scoring the goal, Mark Lawrenson said excitedly. Wonderful performance! Not only should it be written into textbooks, but it should also be engraved on a stone tablet and erected outside Wembley Stadium!

His excitement made the British audience in front of the TV a little strange - this goal can certainly be regarded as a textbook quick counterattack, but is it so exciting? Still engraved on the stone tablet and standing outside Wembley Stadium? Too exaggerated? This is just a quick counterattack goal. The passing and shooting are very good, but it is far from being great, right?

These strange viewers don’t understand why Mark Lawrenson is so excited, because they don’t know what is going on in Mark Lawrenson’s mind.

What Mark Lawrenson praised was not the last pass and shot, but the seemingly meaningless passes and kicks before it. Hidden inside those are Zhou Yi's talents and ambitions - he began to pave the way for this goal at that time.

Everyone always says that many goals in football matches are actually illogical, and many are the product of luck. Even if you pass twenty shots in a row without losing the ball, there is no guarantee that the last shot will score.

But this view is not completely correct for Zhou Yi. Sometimes Zhou Yi seems to be deliberately creating goals.

Because of this, Mark Lawrenson believes that the ball should be erected in the square outside Wembley Stadium for people to admire.

It's a pity that the goal replay part of the live game only started when Zhou Yi missed the ball and turned around. The director believed that this was the biggest highlight of the goal. As for the scalpel-like diagonal pass that followed, it was just a normal performance of Zhou Yi's level. He Ying's single-handed ball is also quite satisfactory.

But it’s not the director’s fault. Because in Mark Laurentian's view, it is difficult to show Zhou Yi's football art and philosophy through replaying the footage - yes, Mark Laurentian believes that although Zhou Yi is young, he has indeed reached the level of art and philosophy. Realm - because the origin of this goal is not just this time, but the failed trials earlier. Without those trials, there would be no goal. Because in those trials, Zhou Yi has been consciously controlling the rhythm and situation of the game, and consciously guiding the movements of the players on both sides.

Many players have no time to think when the situation changes rapidly and the competition is fierce. Most of the time, they can only rely on their body's instinct to make movements. But Zhou Yi used his brain from beginning to end. He was constantly observing and thinking, and then choosing the best one among countless possibilities.

This is where Mark Laurentian marvels.

After the Chinese team players ended their celebration, they all ran back to their own half. He Ying and Zhou Yi ran side by side. Zhou Yi turned to him and asked: How does it feel to score a goal in the Olympic final?

He Ying smiled: It's pretty cool.

Zhou Yi also smiled, then stretched out a hand and put it on He Ying's side, and He Ying slapped it.

The scene between the two people was caught by the camera. The corners of He Ping's mouth curled up when he explained: One assist and one goal. The two of them are the guarantee of the Chinese team's offensive firepower in this Olympics. It is said that the two of them We met during the recording of a reality show and were roommates. And during this Olympics, whether they were stationed in the Olympic Village or staying in a hotel, they were still roommates. So there is a reason for such a good understanding. , before Zhou Yi kicked off the ball just now, He Ying had already rushed forward. When Zhou Yi kicked the football out, he just passed through the Japanese team's defense. The two people's passing and running cooperation was very tacit. And it’s not just this one goal in this game, they have also performed this kind of tacit cooperation many times in previous games. He Ying has scored six goals in this game, and Zhou Yi gave him There are four assists. This shows the tacit understanding between these two people. We hope that after this Olympics, the outstanding Olympic team players can be recruited into the national team, so that the tacit understanding between Zhou Yi and He Ying can be The performance of the national team may help the national team reach the finals of the World Cup in Brazil, but it’s not necessarily true?”

In fact, before the game, there were media reports that Gao Hongbo would be watching the final in order to examine the performance of the young players of the Olympic team. The Chinese media also prepared a list of players for Gao Hongbo who could be transferred to the national team in advance. In addition to the Five Tigers, there are several players who should also be transferred to the national team, such as full-back Zhang Linpeng and forward Wu Lei. …

For those who love Chinese football in this Olympics, I am afraid that not only they have won a medal, but also a large number of outstanding players have matured, which is probably what they are most happy to see. After all, the World Cup is the supreme stage in the minds of Chinese fans...

Mark Lawrenson said: I think Barcelona should reconsider He Ying's future? Last season's silver boot in La Liga helped Valladolid qualify for La Liga. This season his loan period expires. , will return to Barcelona, ​​but I think he should not be allowed to return to La Masia anyway, right?

This Olympics will indeed change the fate of some players, and He Ying may be one of them.

When the players of the Chinese team returned to their own half, the head coach of the Japanese team, Takashi Sekitsuka, shouted from the sidelines: Cheer up! Don't worry about conceding the ball!! We are still tied now!

He's trying to get Japan's players back on their feet.

After losing the ball, he could see that the Japanese Olympic team players were stunned, which was what he was most worried about.

Once players begin to doubt everything they do, it can lead to collapse.

As a coach, of course you cannot let your team collapse.

So even though he felt painful for losing the ball, he had to stand up and boost morale at this time.

But as a coach, you can't just boost morale and do nothing else. If saying two beautiful words can help the team win the game, then I'm afraid the best coaches in the world are orators. But football is not a speech, you still need to come up with specific methods.

Faced with this situation, Sekitsuka Takashi quickly made his decision - targeting Zhou Yi, continuing to let Yamaguchi Hotaru follow him every step of the way. But for the whole Chinese team, the Japanese team temporarily gave up the tactics of pressing in the frontcourt, and dared to retreat to the backcourt to defend.

This is naturally done to avoid being scored another goal by the Chinese team using the same method.

Before the end of the first half, if the lead turns from behind, it will be a devastating blow to the morale of the team, which is much greater than falling behind directly in the first half.

Therefore, being able to maintain a tie until the end of the first half is a victory for the current Japanese team.

After making the decision, he quickly called the team's captain Maya Yoshida to the sidelines and gave him face-to-face instructions.

After Yoshida Ma listened, he returned to the court, gathered his teammates again, and conveyed the head coach's instructions.

We must defend! Defend the Chinese team's next attack!!

He waved his fists and yelled at his teammates, who were still a little dazed, as if they hadn't recovered from the blow.

Seeing this, the over-age player cursed loudly: Asshole! What are you doing! We just got equalized!!

The Japanese Olympic team players, who were shocked by Maya Yoshida's curse, finally understood what was going on.

After seeing everyone finally come to their senses, Yoshida Maya continued: If we continue like this, it will not be a draw, but a fall behind! Next we must hold on to this score! We must not concede the ball! If we If we lose the ball here, we will really be screwed!

Maya Yoshida is also a qualified captain. With his encouragement, the team's morale finally recovered.

At the very least, it makes people feel that it is not too difficult to hold on until the end of the first half.

Hey, the Japanese team also got together after losing the ball. Are they also having a meeting? On the opposite side, the Chinese team players who had returned to their own half found that the Japanese team was not waiting for the kick-off, but was surrounding them on the opposite side. It became a circle, Zhang Jiadong joked.

Hearing him say this, the other team members laughed.

But Zhou Yi turned around and said to them: Don't laugh, they were the ones in the lead before!
