Champion’s Heart

Vol 4 Chapter 30: "Paper Cat"

In fact, it is not just the Brazilian media who think that the Chinese Olympic team will be affected by their domestic public opinion. The Chinese themselves think so. Therefore, a voice calling on everyone to calm down quickly appeared on the Internet. At this time, quarreling with people is just a moment of talk, but for the Chinese team, the most important thing is the semi-final with Brazil.

Everyone should strive to create a harmonious atmosphere and let the team concentrate on preparing for the semifinals.

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

The London Olympics will open from July 27th to August 12th and will be closed for a total of 17 days.

In football, if a team can play until the final, they will play six games in these seventeen days, with an average of more than two days playing a game. Such an intensive event schedule is more terrible than the Premier League schedule during Christmas.

The interval between the two games is very short, leaving the players little time to recover their physical fitness and prepare for the next opponent Too.

So everyone will worry about the semifinals. If the Chinese team encountered the defeat of Mexico, it was the most powerful Brazil.

Someone said on Weibo that if the Chinese team eventually lost to the Brazilian Olympic team, those who are known must be responsible. If they weren’t there, everyone was happy that the Chinese team broke into the semifinals There won't be so many messes. Of course, it is not easy to say whether they are willing to take on this responsibility or not, they will pretend to die...

The game against the South Korean team was on the evening of August 4th, while the game against the Brazilian Olympic team was on the evening of August 7th, with only two days between them-No. 5 and No. 6.

It took a day to quarrel with the media, and No. 5 passed by in the quarrel. The evening on the 7th is a game, so the time really reserved for the Chinese team is actually only one day on the 6th.

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

Many people have this worry.

Others worry about the team's physical fitness.

At this stage of continuous combat, the team's physical reserves of the previous use are almost the same. Zhou Yi was not a good physical player. He insisted that he still had to face a strong opponent Brazil at this time. Does his physical strength support him to continue to play a high level?

※※※

When there are various concerns about the Chinese team, Zhou Yi, as the captain of the Chinese Olympic team, is "breaking the superstition" to his teammates.

The time is 8:30 in the evening. After a day of training, sixteen people from the team poured into the rooms of Zhou Yi and He Ying, which made the two-person standard room that was not very spacious appear crowded. Because there are not enough chairs, many people sit directly on the bed, and this is not enough. Others stand against the wall and listen to Zhou Yi's words.

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

"Don't listen to the media outside talking about what the Brazilian Olympic team is worth 200 million." Zhou Yi waved his hand and said to his teammates about their next semifinal opponent.

But he doesn't speak as seriously as the coach, with a solemn tone, or with passion. Because there was limited space for him to sit, he sat on a writing desk, his legs were hanging down and could not stand on the ground. He just wobbled his legs like this, chatting, with a relaxed tone, like talking about a paragraph.

"What Hulke is 72 million, Neymar 50 million, Damion 47 million... It sounds scary, but Hulke's 72 million is a penalty. The liquidated damages are not equal to the price. Damion’s price is more than 47 million. The Brazilian International Club has given him a price of 47 million. Can that be counted? Don’t say anything else, I guess Chelsea want to give Panpan now 50 million euros, but if anyone really buys 50 million to buy Panpan, he is a fool!"

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

"Off, off my fart!" Guo Nu dissatisfied.

Others laughed.

Zhou Yi ignored the opinions of the two people and continued: "So what is the value of the Brazilian team? That's just the gimmick of the media hype. Don't care, the football game is not determined by the value of the game. Yes, this year's Brazil The Austrian team looks very strong, the stars are bright, and the stars are gathered. But football is not a pile of stars to win. Not to mention that Brazil’s stars are not yet technically packed-most of their stars are concentrated in the frontcourt. The attacking players. The 200 million worth is four people, Hulk, Neymar, Damion and Pato, these four people are 190 million. But what about that? The team’s largest The problem is that their defense is not good."

"But they also have players such as Tiago Silva and Marcelo on the back line." Zhang Linpeng raised his hand.

"The two of them are not supermen, and Marcelo is a defender who is stronger than the defender. Brazil's offensive firepower is still fierce in this Olympic Games. They scored three goals each other in each game. It’s just three balls. Every game is like this.” Zhou Yi raised three fingers. "For a 200 million worth of attacking lineup, is this performance justified? But what about their back line? So far, they have played four games. Only one game has not conceded a goal, which is the 3-0 win in New Zealand. In addition to that, in the first match against Egypt, they lost two goals and were almost overturned. The final round of the group stage was also scored against Belarus. In the quarter-finals, they also lost against Honduras Two goals. This defensive performance is really sorry for the'winning champion' evaluation."

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

"Tiago Silva is very strong. But I want to remind everyone that defense is not based on personal ability, but on the whole. Even if a person is the world's top central defender, if put in a chaotic system, Can't play his level. AC Milan was so strong in defense, not because they have a Maldini or Nesta. But because they have a very complete and excellent defensive system. In this regard, Brazil Olympics The team didn't." Zhou Yi continued to talk. "This is also the reason why the Brazilian Olympic team often loses the ball, and they still lose a lot. Tiago Silva is a very good central defender in AC Milan, but he is not in the Brazilian Olympic team. . Don't be scared by his name."

Sun Pan said next to him, "That is, what opponents of Zhou Yi haven't seen us? He and Tiago Silva both talked and laughed!"

Zhou Yi is here to comment on the opponents of the Chinese team, and everyone can hear it. It is for this reason-those stars that many players of the Olympic team can only look up to. Zhou Yi has dealt with them in Europe. He is Having personally experienced the power of those people, naturally knowing that they are a few pounds or a few pounds, there should be nothing wrong with what he said.

And not only Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, Guo Nu, Yang Muge have also confronted these people in Europe, except for He Ying, He Ying is because of the West B League...

"So don't look at the media, they brag Brazil, it seems like a fierce tiger, but in fact they are just "paper cats", not paper tigers, but cats!" Zhou Yi said. "And what advantages do we have? I think first we are more united than them, and secondly our defense is better. We killed from the group stage and only lost two goals, although not the team with the fewest goals. But it is also very good. Our goalkeeper Panpan is simply a security goal. Although he lost two goals, he lost more goals than the Japanese team..."

Originally, Sun Pan was very happy to hear Zhou Yi complimenting himself. As a result, Zhou Yi added that sentence, which made him unable to bear to hum: “Don’t compare me with Little Japan! They didn’t encounter any strong enemy! One of the two **** is a penalty kick, this penalty kick shouldn’t be judged at all!"

Sun Pan has always been cherishing this point, so he will not be so uncomfortable after the game against the South Korean team, causing a stir.

"Speaking of the central defender, I don't think Lao Guo is worse than Thiago Silva, except that he is a little shorter... But Lao Guo bounces well and can make up for the gap in height. Anyway, I think Inter Milan will regret sooner or later they put Lao Guo in Siena, but fortunately they still own half of Lao Guo's ownership."

Guo Nu heard Zhou Yi praise him like this, and he also raised his chest, looking very happy.

"And Lao Yang, as a midfielder, is our midfield iron gate, which is very reassuring. There is also Zhang Linpeng, who can go up and down, compared with Marcelo, not too much..."

Zhou Yi praises his teammates one by one, all of them are players on the back line.

Every Olympics player named by him was very happy, and his posture unconsciously stood upright.

As Zhou Yi just said, the defense never relies on a certain star player, but on the whole. Because the 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 a brick be built into a wall?

Anyone who knows a little about penalties will understand this truth. It's just that many people usually overstate their role and ignore this point.

Zhou Yi's words made the defensive players in the team very useful. Especially those players who are not well-known for playing football in China. In the light of the Five Little Dragons, they will always be easily overlooked, but Zhou Yi remembers their good, Zhou Yi understands their value, which makes them very moved.

"Compared to Brazil, our defense is more like a whole. We are more disciplined and organized than them. They are more resilient. From any point of view, they are better than Brazil. This is based on the number of goals conceded by us and them. It can be seen that there is no objection. Although my defense is very general, I believe that our defense can certainly prevent Brazil’s 200 million yuan offensive... Well, I said this, do you think it is very interesting Ah? We have to face an attack of 200 million yuan in the game! This is more talked out! What’s more, we have won! We can go out and brag in the future-I think 200 million yuan is like dung!"

There was another laugh in the room. Everyone thought with a smile~www.wuxiaspot.com~ A very magical scene suddenly appeared in their minds-their opponents on the court were not wearing Brazilian players, but "people" consisting of a pile of banknotes.

"And as a South American team, if Brazil plays well, they can do whatever they want, and they can do anything they want. It's just that the two kinds of what they want are completely different. If we can put more pressure on them in the game, they will not play The cooperation between them is gone, and it is more of a singles fight, so there is nothing to fear. No matter how strong Neymar is, it is impossible to succeed one game after another."

According to Zhou Yi's analysis, everyone thinks that Brazil is not as powerful as they think, even...

"How do I feel that Zhou Yi said that Brazil seems to be not as powerful as it seems to be..." someone said.

"It can't be said that, in fact, it is not that Brazil is not strong enough, but that we have become stronger." Zhou Yi said. "So everyone forgets the past, and tomorrow is just a good time with Brazil! I tell you that there are not many opportunities to beat the Brazilian team, to cherish!" (To be continued)).
