In fact, it is not only the Brazilian media that believes that the Chinese Olympic team will be influenced by their domestic public opinion, but also the Chinese themselves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info So there were soon voices on the Internet calling for everyone to calm down, and at this time it was just a moment to quarrel with people, but for the Chinese team, the most important thing is the semi-finals with the Brazilian team.

Everyone should try to create a harmonious atmosphere and allow the team to concentrate on preparing for the semi-finals.

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

The London Olympics lasted 17 days from 27 July to 12 August.

In football, if a team can make it all the way to the final, they will play six games in 17 days, with an average of one game in just over two days. Such a dense schedule of fixtures is even more terrifying than the Premier League's Christmas schedule.

The time between the two games is very short, leaving very little time for the players to recover and train for the next opponent, and if it is stirred up by that, it will not be time for the national Olympic team.

That's why everyone is worried about the semi-finals. If the Chinese team meets the defeated Mexico, it will be fine, but the strongest Brazil.

Someone said on Weibo that if the Chinese team finally loses to the Brazilian Olympic team, those public knowledge will definitely be responsible, if it weren't for them messing around there, everyone would have been happy that the Chinese team broke into the semi-finals, and there would not have been so many messy things. Of course, it's hard to say whether the public is willing to take on this responsibility, and nine times out of ten they will play dead......

The match against South Korea took place on the night of August 4, while the match against Brazil took place on the night of August 7, with only two days in between – the 5th and 6th.

It took a day to quarrel with the media, and the fifth passed in a noisy fight. The night of the 7th is the game, so the time really left for the Chinese team is actually only the 6th day.

Is there enough time for them to calm down and prepare for the game, and do they still have the time and time to study their opponents?

A lot of people have this concern.

There are also concerns about the fitness of the team.

After fighting continuously to this stage, the team's previous physical reserves are almost the same. Zhou Yi is not a very physical player, and he still has to face a strong opponent Brazil at this time, does his physical fitness support him to continue to play at a high level?

※※※

At a time when the outside world has all kinds of worries about the Chinese team, within the Chinese Olympic team, Zhou Yi, as the captain of the team, is "breaking superstitions" for his teammates.

The time was half past eight in the evening. After a day's training, the whole team of sixteen people poured into Zhou Yi and He Ying's room, which made the two-person standard room, which was not very spacious, seem very crowded. Because there were not enough chairs, many people sat directly on the bed, and it was still not enough, so the others stood against the wall and listened to Zhou Yi's words.

This meeting was proposed by Zhou Yi to be held, and no one from his teammates objected.

"Don't listen to the nonsense of the media outside, saying that the Brazilian Olympic team is worth 200 million. Zhou Yi waved his hand and said, he was telling his teammates about their next semi-final opponents.

But he didn't speak as serious, solemn, or impassioned as the coach. Because of the limited space he could sit, he sat on the desk, and his legs couldn't touch the ground, just dangling his legs, as if chatting, and his tone was relaxed, as if he was telling a joke.

"What Hulk is seventy-two million, Neymar is fifty million, Damion is forty-seven million...... It sounds scary, but Hulk's 72 million is liquidated damages, and liquidated damages are not equal to the value. Damion's even more, is the 47 million that the Brazilian club has put on his price. If nothing else, I guess Chelsea want to bid 50 million euros for Panpan now, but whoever really buys Panpan with 50 million is a fool!"

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

"Off, it's my business!" Guo Nu said dissatisfied.

The others laughed.

Zhou Yi ignored the opinions of the two people and continued: "So what is the value of the Brazilian team, it is just a gimmick hyped by the media. Don't worry, football is not a game that is won or lost by value. That's right, this year's Brazilian Olympic team looks quite strong, star-studded and star-studded. But football isn't something you can win by stacking up stars. Not to mention that Brazil's stars aren't very technical – most of their stars are focused on attacking players up front. The 200 million is worth four people, Hulk, Neymar, Damion and Pato, these four people are 190 million. But so what? The biggest problem with this team is that they don't defend well. ”

'But they also have the likes of Thiago Silva and Marcelo at the back. Zhang Linpeng raised his hand and said.

"The two of them are not supermen, and Marcelo is a defender who is stronger than defensive. Brazil's offensive firepower in this Olympics is quite fierce, they score three goals in each game, no more, no less, just three goals. It's like that in every game. Zhou Yi raised three fingers. "For a $200 million attacking line-up, that's a fair performance, but what about their backline? So far, they've played four games and only one without conceding a goal, the 3-0 win over New Zealand. In addition, in the first game against Egypt, they conceded two goals and were almost overturned. A goal was also scored against Belarus in the final round of the group stage. In the quarterfinals, they also conceded two goals against Honduras. This kind of defensive performance is really sorry for the evaluation of 'the favorite'. “

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

'Thiago Silva is very strong. But I want to remind everyone that it's not about individual ability, it's about the whole thing. Even if a person is the world's top central defender, if he is put into a chaotic system, he will not be able to play at his level. AC Milan defended so well back then, but it wasn't because they had a Maldini or Nesta. It's because they have a very complete and excellent defensive system. In this regard, the Brazilian Olympic team does not. Zhou Yi continued to talk. "That's why the Brazilian Olympic team concedes a lot of goals, and a lot of them. Thiago Silva is a very good centre-back at AC Milan, but not at Brazil. Don't be intimidated by his name. ”

Sun Pan said beside him: "That's it, what opponent hasn't we seen in Zhou Yi? He and Thiago Silva are both talking and laughing!"

Zhou Yi commented on the opponents of the Chinese team here, and everyone could listen to them, and it was precisely for this reason that Zhou Yi had played against them in Europe because of the stars that many players in the National Olympic team could only look up to, and he had personally experienced the power of those people, so he naturally knew that they had a few pounds and taels, and what he said should not be wrong.

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

"So don't look at the media that Brazil is very powerful, it seems to be a tiger, but in fact they are just 'paper cats', they are not paper tigers, they are cats!" Zhou Yi said. "And what are our strengths? I think first of all, we're more united than them, and second is that we're better defensively. We came all the way from the group stage and only conceded two goals, which is not the team that conceded the fewest goals, but it was also very good. Our goalkeeper Pan Pan is simply an anti-theft goal, although he has conceded two goals, the number of goals conceded is ...... more than the Japanese team."

Originally, Sun Pan was quite happy to hear Zhou Yi praise himself, but Zhou Yi added that sentence later, which made him can't help but hum: "Don't compare me with Little Japan! They haven't encountered any strong opponents! And one of the two goals I lost was a penalty, and this penalty shouldn't be awarded at all!"

Sun Pan has always been obsessed with this, so he was so unhappy after the game against the South Korean team, which caused a storm.

"When it comes to central defenders, I don't think Lao Guo is worse than Thiago Silva, except for a little shorter...... But Lao Guo is good at bouncing, and he can make up for such a small difference in height. Anyway, I think Inter Milan will regret that sooner or later they put Lao Guo in Siena, but fortunately they still have half of Lao Guo's ownership. ”

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

"And Lao Yang, as a back, is our midfield iron gate, which is very reassuring. and Zhang Linpeng, who can go up and down, and is not much better than Marcelo......"

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

Every player of the national Olympic team who was named and praised by him was very happy, and his posture unconsciously stood upright.

Just like Zhou Yi just said, defense never relies on a certain star player, but on the whole. Because defense is to build a wall in front of the goal, since it is a wall, of course it has to be composed of bricks, can a brick be built into a wall?

As long as you know a little bit about penalty kicks, you will understand this truth. It's just that many people usually exaggerate the role of the individual and ignore this point.

Zhou Yi's words made the defenders in the team very useful. Especially those players who play in China and are not well-known. Under the light of the five little dragons, they will always be easy to ignore, but Zhou Yi remembers their goodness and Zhou Yi understands their value, which makes them very moved.

"Compared to Brazil, our defense is more like a unit. We are more disciplined, organized, resilient than they are. By any measure, it is better than Brazil. This can be seen in the number of goals conceded by us and them, there is no objection. Although my defense is average, I believe that our defense can definitely defend against Brazil's $200 million attack...... Eh, when I say this, don't you think it's very emotional? We're going to face an attack of 200 million yuan in the game! That's a lot to say! What's more, we've won! We can go out and brag about it in the future -- I regard 200 million yuan as dung!"

There was another round of laughter in the room. Everyone laughed and thought about it, and suddenly a very magical scene came to their minds - their opponents on the court were not wearing Brazilian players, but "people" made up of a pile of banknotes.

"And as a South American team, if the Brazilian team plays well, they can do whatever they want, and if they don't play well, they can do whatever they want. It's just that the two freewheeling effects are completely different. If we can put more pressure on them in the game and make them not play well, then there is no more coordination between them and more of a solo game, then there is nothing to be afraid of. No matter how strong Neymar is, he can't succeed in every game. ”

was analyzed by Zhou Yi like this, and everyone felt that Brazil was not as powerful as they imagined, and even ......

"How do I feel that Zhou Yi said this, Brazil doesn't seem to be very powerful, it's just a façade......" someone said.

"You can't say the same, it's not that Brazil isn't good enough, it's that we're getting stronger. Zhou Yi said. "So let's forget about the past and have a good face to face with Brazil tomorrow! I'll tell you, there are not many opportunities to beat Brazil, you have to cherish it!"
