Champion’s Heart

v4 Chapter 29: Champions

After Zhou Yi scolded reporter Zhang on Weibo with "Fangcaotian", he never said anything again. No matter how reporter Zhang jumped, he didn't respond.

Of course, in fact, he didn't need to respond. After scolding the other party by surprise, he drifted away, leaving only a legendary back for posterity.

And it is not necessary for him to take such a beating of the water dog, and the netizens themselves do it.

After Zhou Yi created a hot topic with tens of millions for everyone, he disappeared from the Internet again.

What is he doing? Of course, we are seriously preparing for the semifinals.

That night, the Chinese team's opponents in the semi-finals have been released. Unsurprisingly, Brazil defeated Honduras and will meet the Chinese Olympic team in the semi-finals.

This is not an opponent who can win casually.

So even though there are many reporters who want to ask Zhou Yi about his grievances with reporter Zhang of the Legal Evening News.

However, Zhou Yi did not answer this question: "I only pay attention to our opponents in the semifinals. Don't come up with the question of idlers. There is nothing to say. I have finished talking about it."

Reporter Zhang was completely abandoned by Zhou Yi...

The "mob" on the Internet quickly diverted their attention and interest after a day of flirting with reporter Zhang. Although reporter Zhang also continued to criticize and criticize Zhou Yi on his own Weibo and a question and answer website, it was nothing. People care about his words and words.

Compared with scolding, competition is the right thing.

The Chinese Olympic team reached the semi-finals of the Olympics is already remarkable, but if they win another game, they will definitely be able to win a medal. This is a historic breakthrough for the Chinese men's football team.

Can Zhou Yi and his teammates do it?

This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about now.

Brazil’s Olympic team is the number one favorite in the Olympics. The Chinese team met them in the semi-finals, which made many domestic fans feel regretful. Look at the other two teams in the semi-finals. Mexico and Japan.

Mexico’s Olympic team was defeated by the Chinese team in the group stage. The Japanese team’s current performance of the Olympic team did not bother them either. Of the four teams, the two teams that feel relatively weak are put together, but the Chinese team just hit the strongest team...

Now many people turn back to think about the group stage and think that if the Chinese team lost a game in the group stage at the beginning, it might be better to take the group second. In that case, the Chinese team can avoid Brazil in the semifinals. Although they will meet the host British team in the quarter-finals, but looking at the performance of the current British team, even if they meet them, they believe that the Chinese team can definitely win.

Now, if the Chinese team wants to enter the final, they will have to die with Brazil. In the end, it is likely to be a situation where "the crane clams compete, and the fishermen benefit."

So a reporter asked if Zhou Yi would regret getting the team first.

Zhou Yi puzzled: "Why?"

"Because that group is second to avoid the Brazilian team..." the reporter asked.

"But we may also encounter Brazil in the final."

"That's what it says, but if you reach the final, you will be able to secure a medal..." The reporter defended.

Zhou Yi smiled: "Did you forget what I said at the press conference? Our goal is a gold medal this time. How can it be met in the finals? If you have to meet them all the way, what happens in the finals or semifinals? the difference?"

Zhou Yi did emphasize at the press conference that the goal of the Chinese team this time was the gold medal, but everyone still felt that there was a bit of anger in the words. Everyone is a professional football reporter and knows that there are many factors that determine the outcome of a football match. Strength, condition and luck are indispensable.

Even if the morale of the Chinese team is now high and the players are in good shape, the overall strength is still superior to the Brazilian Olympic team. Coupled with the unpredictable luck, how can Zhou Yi be so sure that they will get the gold medal?

※※※

At the regular press conference of the Chinese team yesterday, it was mainly Zhou Yi who scolded the two Chinese devils in China, but some of the information he revealed in it also caught the attention of the Brazilian media.

The message is that Zhou Yi publicly stated that the goal of the Chinese Olympic team is a gold medal.

Although Zhou Yi said he wanted to get a gold medal when he was in China, it was only in China after all, and his influence was not great. It was absolutely impossible to reach the Brazilian team anyway.

This time it was different. At the press conference during the Olympics, he directly stated that he would take the gold medal.

"...When Zhou Yi said this, we did not play in the semi-finals with Honduras. I don't know if he still has the courage to learn that the opponent in the semi-finals is the Brazilian team led by Neymar... "The Brazilian media is still very confident in the Brazilian team, so they said this.

And they also noticed that the theme of this press conference was Zhou Yi irritating certain media in China. Based on the two days of news reports, they can easily know what happened-the Chinese team is eliminating South Korea. After the team, because of the controversial remarks of some players, it seems to have stirred up a storm in China. This storm swept the entire Olympic team, so Zhou Yi, as the team captain, stood up and explained.

But from his explanation, the contradiction has not been alleviated, and the problem has not been resolved at all.

Zhou Yi did not mean to ease relations with the Chinese media.

At first glance, these things seem to be inaccessible to Brazil's eight poles, and Brazilian media need not pay attention. If the Brazil semi-final opponent is not the Chinese team, they really will not care.

But as an opponent in the semifinals, the Brazilian media believes that this matter will definitely have an impact on the Chinese team. And this kind of influence is hard to be called "positive"-affected by this matter, the preparation of the Chinese team and the mentality of the players will change, this change will affect their performance in the game.

This is definitely a good thing for Brazil-although the Brazilian media is still full of confidence in their team, they will not think that this China with Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, Yang Muge, Guo Nu and He Ying The Olympic team is vulnerable, and can easily defeat the opponent.

Now they have encountered difficulties and troubles, which is definitely good news for Brazil.

According to such an analysis, there is no suspense in the Brazil Olympic team entering the finals. No matter whether they encounter Mexico or the Japan Olympic team in the finals, they are confident to beat their opponents and win the first men's gold medal in the Olympic history of Brazil.

For Brazil, known as the "Football Kingdom", in their most powerful men's football event, they have never won an Olympic champion. This is indeed a very disgraceful history. Not to mention the Brazilians themselves, many foreigners may find it difficult to understand-why does the Brazilian Olympic team with so many talented players fail to win an Olympic men's gold medal?

You have to know that they have won the World Cup of Men's Football Team's highest honor five times.

To say that the Olympic Games is a youth football game under the age of twenty-three, but in the history of the U20 World Youth Championship in the lower age group, Brazil also won five championships, which fully proves the level of Brazilian football in all ages.

But in the Olympics, they just have a hard time winning a gold medal.

Since the Brazilian men's football team took part in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1952, the Brazilian men's football team has never won the Olympic gold medal for six decades.

Before 1984, the Olympic Games did not allow professional football players to participate, so Brazil could not send the strongest lineup composed of players such as Bailey and Galincha to participate in the Olympic Games. The national Olympic team can only be composed of second-rate domestic players. There is a big gap between the teams that send the strongest lineup in Eastern Europe.

After the Brazilian national team won the World Cup for the first time in 1958, from the Rome Olympics in 1960 to the Munich Olympics in 1972, the Brazilian Olympic team was eliminated in the group stage. The history of the Brazilian Olympic team in the 1976 Olympics He scored the top four in the Olympic Games for the first time, but in the end he didn’t even get a medal, only took the fourth place...

By 1984, the Olympics finally allowed professional players to participate. This time Brazil held back and tried to show the strength of their football kingdom on the Olympic stage, so they reached the finals and reached the gold medal for the first time. But unfortunately they encountered a more powerful French team. At that time, the French team had the "midfielder triangle" combination of Platini, Gireser and Tigana. They had just won the European Championship that year. In the final, the Brazilian Olympic team lost to France 0:2 and missed the gold medal.

At the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the Brazilian Olympic team possessed talents such as Romario, Bebeto and Tafarel, and reached the Olympic finals again, but they and the Soviet team fought hard for 120 minutes. : 2 defeated and lost the gold medal again.

After 1992, Olympic football has undergone a major change, that is, Olympic football is no longer an international A-level event, but a game for players under the age of 23. Players participating in the Olympic Games must be players under the age of 23, which keeps most mature high-level professional players out of the Olympics. This is the result of a dispute between FIFA and the International Olympic Committee.

At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, each team was allowed to have three overage players. This requirement has continued to this day. Although there are many restrictions, Brazilian football has entered their golden age, and the strength of the national team under the age of 23 they can send is still strong. The Brazil team at that Olympics had Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Bebeto and others. Two years ago, the Brazilian national team just won the World Cup in the United States. Everyone thinks that the Brazilian national Olympic team is the gold medal hotspot in the Olympics. However, they lost to Japan 0 to 1 in the group stage and exposed a big upset at the Olympic Games. In the end, although the Brazil team reached the semifinals, they lost to the final champion Nigeria in the semifinals and only won a bronze medal.

In the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the Brazilian Olympic team led by the famous coach Lucenberg threatened to win the gold medal. In the quarter-finals, they were eliminated by Cameroon without even winning a medal. At the same time as the head coach of the Olympic team and the national team, Lusenberg on the plane back to Brazil from Sydney, was dismissed as the head coach of the two teams by the Brazilian Football Association...

In the 2004 Athens Olympics, Brazil did not even make the finals. He was eliminated in the qualifiers in South America. Although the national Olympic team had talented teenagers such as Diego and Robinho, they played often and failed to prove themselves.

At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Brazilian Olympic team was also brilliant, with players such as Tiago Silva, Marcelo, Ronaldinho, Diego and Pato. They met the Argentine Olympic team led by Messi and Aguero in the semifinals. The match between the South American rivals ended in the victory of the Argentine Olympic team~lightnovelpub.net~Later Argentina won the championship, Messi won his first and only Olympic gold medal. And Brazil? Another bronze medal...

Throughout the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, almost every time the Brazilian Olympic team came to the championship, but the final result was very disappointing.

The crown of this football kingdom has five brilliant pearls of the World Cup champions, but it lacks only one Olympic champion. Although there is no way to reduce the status of Brazilian football without an Olympic champion, it always feels a bit regretful.

In this London Olympics, Brazil's Olympic team has the top talent Neymar, AC Milan's main center defender Thiago Silva, Real Madrid's main left back Marcelo, AC Milan's main forward Pato, and Oscar, Gan Suo, Hulk... a group of famous talented players.

Their goal is still a gold medal.

This time, will the goddess of luck open arms to them? (To be continued) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point, and your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please read. )
