Champion’s Heart

Zhou Yi's mentality is indeed very good, because he has always had this creed - all comments that praise him are justified, and all comments that criticize him are bullshit!

How could he, a normal person, take other people's farts to heart?

So he ignored all those who criticized him.

But this does not mean that he is not modest enough or arrogant. Of course he knows where his problems are, otherwise he would not have been training hard since his debut to solve these problems bit by bit.

But knowing what you know doesn’t mean you have to accept criticism from others with an open mind.

These are two different things.

While the Chinese media and fans were still complaining about Zhou Yi, he himself had exposed the matter.

Instead of being aggressive with the media, it is better to play the game seriously. This is the best response.

After the Champions League game is over, the players of the Chinese Olympic team will also gather together.

Challenge the most powerful opponent in this group, the Korean Olympic team.

This game will determine whether the Chinese team can qualify for the London Olympics as the first in the group.

This game is also the highlight of the Chinese media and fans.

Originally, the performance of the Olympic team did not make people have confidence in them, so no one paid attention to the Olympic qualifying matches. As a result, after adding four overseas players, the performance of the Olympic team soared, and they were expected to reach the finals, and everyone's expectations for them were rekindled.

On February 22nd, Beijing time, the Chinese Olympic team faced the Korean Olympic team at home.

Prior to this, the Chinese team ranked second in the group with seven points, while the Korean Olympic team ranked first in the group with eight points.

According to the rules of the Olympic qualifiers, among the three Asian groups, only the first place in each group can directly qualify for the finals, while the second place in the group has to fight against the second place in the other two groups to finally determine a qualifying spot.

Although the team that is second in the group will not be completely eliminated, the risk is too great if they have to play in the play-offs again.

If we can directly advance to the finals of the London Olympics as the first in the group,

Wouldn't it be better?

At the same time, the Korean Olympic team also understands this very well. If they lose to the Chinese Olympic team in an away game, it will be equivalent to giving up the initiative. In the last round of the group stage, the South Korean team faced Qatar at home, and the Chinese team challenged Saudi Arabia away from home. On the premise of defeating Qatar at home, they hope that the Chinese team will lose to Saudi Arabia away from home.

So this game is a decisive battle between the two teams.

If the South Korean team beats the Chinese team, it will widen the point difference between the two teams to four points. In this way, no matter how the two sides play in the final round, it will not change the fact that the South Korean Olympic team ranks first in the group.

Before heading to China, the head coach of the Korean Olympic team, Hong Myung-bo, expressed confidence in an interview with a Korean reporter: This is an away game, but I believe in my players. They are all very good boys. We will fight in the away game. The last moment until victory!”

This declaration of expedition was described by him as impassioned and full of confidence.

Of course he is qualified to be so confident, because for a long time, Korean football has completely crushed Chinese football, whether at the national team or youth team level.

Although Gao Hongbo's Chinese team defeated the South Korean team in the 2010 East Asian semi-finals, it was South Korea's second-tier team. Koreans do not admit that the Korean phobia in Chinese football has been cured...

In the first round clash between these two Olympic teams, the Chinese team also lost to the South Korean team in an away game.

All these make Koreans full of confidence.

Even if the Chinese Olympic team has four players who are the main players in European clubs, the Koreans are not afraid.

Because they have to travel all the way from Europe to participate in the competition, their condition and physical fitness cannot be guaranteed.

Think about how the Chinese Olympic team lost to the South Korean team in an away game in the first round. Isn't it because after a long flight, the jet lag was not over yet before the game started. As a result, the physical fitness was not good and the whole team was in a sluggish state?

On the contrary, the players of the Korean Olympic team are all from domestic leagues. In addition, this team has been established for many years, has played together for a long time, and has a tacit understanding. These are the advantages of the Korean Olympic team.

Not only Hong Myung-bo is so confident, but the Korean media is also very confident.

Some media even called for a 3-0 victory over them at China's home court to avenge their 3-0 defeat in the East Asia semi-finals the year before last.

The Chinese media and fans are naturally very unhappy about this.

For some reasons, South Korea has a very bad image in the minds of many Chinese men, especially in football.

This is not just because of Korean phobia.

How dare a small country be so arrogant in front of our **** superior country!

Many people can't bear it.

In the past, you had to endure it even if you couldn't bear it. Who let Chinese football fail?

But now, the Olympic team joined by the Four Little Dragons is performing better and better, making everyone full of confidence in them.

There is no need to endure it now.

Faced with provocations from South Korean media and fans, the Chinese media also actively fought back.

Chinese fans also criticized South Korea on the Internet.

Besides, how could such a lively event be without Sun Pan?

The main goalkeeper of the Olympic team loves to join in the fun. Every time he sees Zhou Yi talking, laughing, laughing and cursing in the media, he is envious and hopes that he can do the same.

Now the opportunity has come.

So facing reporters, Sun Pan expressed his disdain for the Korean Olympic team with great enthusiasm: 3:0? If they can score me a goal in the game, I will live broadcast ****!

These words frightened the Chinese reporters. They asked one by one: Are you sure? Sun Pan?

You're kidding, haha!

As a result, Sun Pan said seriously: No kidding! And I can't ****, because they can't score at all! Don't even think about scoring half a goal!

Sun Pan spoke so firmly that the reporters had no choice but to report what he said.

This time, it was as if a boulder had been dropped into a calm lake.

Chinese and Korean media and fans are discussing Sun Pan's bold words.

Sun Pan's name began to appear frequently in the media and on the Internet in both countries.

Sun Pan was quite happy about this, because his limelight finally surpassed Zhou Yi!

However, Zhou Yi had another opinion on this. He asked Sun Pan in the group: Panpan, what you said is too full. What if you lose the ball? Do you really want to broadcast **** live?

Hey, how is it possible? It's impossible for me to lose the ball! Sun Pan was full of confidence.

Don't raise the flag, Panpan. It's better to be cautious. By then you will have had enough limelight, but everyone will say: 'Wow, that person is the person who broadcast ****!' What do you think of this reputation? How? Zhou Yi was still trying to persuade Sun Pan.

No crow mouth allowed!

※※※

When Sun Panzhan was on the court, he couldn't help but think of what Zhou Yi said to him in the group, which gave him an uneasy premonition.

He tightened his gloves, making sure they were securely on his hands.

This action can bring him a sense of security.

Behind him were the stands where Chinese fans gathered. They kept chanting slogans of Come on, Team China.

He looked back at the red stands. He had played so many games on behalf of the Olympic team, and this game was the one with the largest number of people present.

Team China! Come on!

Team China! Come on!

The shouts were uniform, obviously directed by someone.

This was different from what he heard in front of the TV before. The decibels were louder, the distance was closer, and it was more real. His eardrums were vibrating and his heart was beating.

This feeling is amazing, indescribably great. He couldn't describe it. He could only put his big hand on his left chest, and he seemed to feel the strong heartbeat through the thick gloves.

The whistle sounded, the cheers in the stands suddenly increased, and the game began!

Sun Pan withdrew his gaze and stared ahead of him again.

He decided that even if he risked everything in this game, he would not be able to allow the opponent to score. Not only to prevent himself from broadcasting ****, but also for the sake of the red fans behind him.

※※※

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team launched a fierce attack on the South Korean team's goal. After all, this is their home court, and they have such an advantage. Coupled with the arrogance of the Koreans before the game, they also angered them.

The fans in the stands were very happy and kept cheering to cheer for the Chinese team. They just want to see such a brave and fearless team performance.

But behind this excitement, there is also danger.

The Chinese team pressed a little higher, and there were a lot of spaces behind them...

As long as the Korean team counterattacks, it may threaten the Chinese team's goal.

At this time, the test is whether the Chinese team's goalkeeper is focused...

In the 23rd minute, the South Korean team launched a counterattack, and in a very short time they reached the front of the Chinese team's penalty area.

Then Nam Tae-hee of the Korean Olympic team suddenly cut in from the wing and then took a shot!

This shot was very sudden, because when he cut inside, everyone thought he would cross the ball or pass through, but it would not be a shot anyway.

Then he cums!

The football flew directly to the far corner of the goal.

At this time, Sun Pan jumped high, stretched out his arms, and lifted the ball shot by Nan Taixi over the crossbar!

Sun Pan! Beautiful save! commentator Liu Hong shouted excitedly.

When Sun Pan made the save, there were loud exclamations in the stands. Apparently the fans of the Chinese team were also frightened. Fortunately, Sun Pan gave them a false alarm...

This is Sun Pan's first key save in this game! Liu Hong said, He once made a very heavy oath before the game...

In fact, Liu Hong wanted to say heavy words, but as a commentator on national television, the requirements are quite strict, and there are certain things that cannot be said.

We hope that this oath can help him keep a clean sheet against his opponents!

※※※

After Sun Pan landed, he got up from the ground and shouted to his teammates: Don't let him shoot easily!! Focus on it!

As a goalkeeper, although he is not the captain, he has the power to yell at his teammates on the court, and no one dares to refute it.

Because he is the team's last line of defense, in other words, he is the savior of the ten people in front. If it weren't for his high and low defense in every game, the Chinese Olympic team would never be where it is now.

The teammates also know the strong oath Sun Pan made. They have no grudge against Sun Pan, and there is no reason to deliberately throw the ball away just to make Sun Pan look embarrassed. Besides, losing the game after conceding the ball would do them no good.

Lao Guo, be faster when you pounce! Sun Pan shouted to Guo Nu.

Damn, it wasn't my defense zone just now... Guo Nu stuttered in defense.

It was just a save, but Sun Pan was yelling like this, which made Guo Nu think he was making a fuss.

Yang Muge understood why Sun Pan's performance today was a little abnormal: He was worried about the live broadcast... he said to Guo Nu.

He didn't do it by himself! Guo Nu said.

Hey, no matter what, we don't want to lose the ball. Yang Muge patted Guo Nu on the shoulder. Come on, we have a heavy task in this game.

He and Guo Nu are both defenders. In order to prevent Sun Pan from losing the ball, they naturally have to work harder than usual.

Damn, he, he is in the limelight, we, we are exhausted... Guo Nu rolled his eyes.

Yang Muge smiled: If you want to keep him out of the limelight, you might as well let him die.

He still knows his roommate very well.

Guo grinned angrily, Lao Yang was really sharp and hit the nail on the head... Is it because he was closest to Zhou Yi? (To be continued.)
