Chapter 440: You Talk to Me About Sportsmanship?
Because of Sun Pan, the Chinese Olympic team defeated the South Korean Olympic team at home, and it reached its peak after the game. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Chinese media and fans brazenly ridiculed the megalomaniacal South Korean media and journalists.
Sun Pan became the new "anti-Korean hero" of Chinese football, and he was out of the limelight, even overshadowing the striker He Ying who scored in this game...... Of course, this is what he hopes to achieve.
And with his excellent performance in this game, coupled with the fact that everyone photographed the head coach of the national team, Gao Hongbo, appearing in the stands of the National Olympic team's game, it is obvious that he is here to observe the young players of the National Olympic team.
So with Sun Pan's outstanding performance in this game, can he have a chance to be promoted to the national team?
In addition, in addition to Sun Pan, how many other national Olympic players who performed well in the game can go to the national team?
Gao Hongbo was also blocked by reporters to answer this question after the game.
"Any player who performs well has a chance to be in the national team, and the door to the national team is open to every capable player. Gao Hongbo's answer was very ambiguous.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words can actually make everyone look forward to the outstanding Olympic players entering the national team......
The team's final Olympic qualifier will be played on March 14, and if China can beat Saudi Arabia away, they will qualify for the London Olympics.
The final group game is also important.
But for now, they still have to go back to the club and play in the league.
※※※
In the 22nd round of the league, Dortmund challenged Hertha Berlin away.
Borussia Dortmund, who have just finished the Champions League, have rotated their personnel, and most of the players who played in the last Champions League game did not appear in the starting line-up for this game, and some did not even make the squad at all......
For example, Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi did not appear in the list.
However, for such an arrangement, Klopp denied that it was to avoid suspicion.
"It's not about rotating Zhou Yi to avoid relying on him. Football is a team sport. Our victory is not the work of one player, so if we lose, it certainly cannot be the credit of one person. Dortmund is not dependent on one person. The reason why Zhou Yi did not appear in the squad for the game, I think the Chinese reporters present must also understand it......"
Some German journalists turned their heads to the few Chinese journalists.
The handful of Chinese reporters nodded in agreement.
They certainly know why, and that's why they have so few Chinese journalists covering this game.
Because there will be no Zhou Yi in this game, there is no need to go to so many Chinese reporters.
So why didn't Zhou Yi participate in this competition?
On the one hand, it is because it has just finished the Champions League, and on the other hand, it is because there is a national team game ahead.
In the Asian qualifiers of the World Cup, the final round of the group stage of the top 20, the Chinese team hosted Jordan.
Although the Chinese team has already qualified for the top 10 tournament in advance.
However, if China loses to Jordan in the last game, they will finish second in the group.
Of course, the Chinese team could not accept such a result.
So this game can't be lost.
For this reason, Zhou Yi also has to return to China to help.
In order to give Zhou Yi a better rest, Klopp did not let Zhou Yi participate in the game.
This can reduce the burden on Zhou Yi, even if he participates in a national team match, he will not be too tired to return to Dortmund.
※※※
In the end, Borussia Dortmund, who did not have Zhou Yi, beat Hertha Berlin 1-0 away.
Although they won the game, it still left some media with a handle, because Dortmund only won by one goal and the game was not too smooth......
At the same time as the game was underway, Zhou Yi had already flown back to China to prepare for the last match against Jordan in the top 20.
The minimum goal for the Chinese team is to draw with Jordan, but Iraq wants the Chinese team to win.
Because if Jordan loses to China away and Iraq beats Singapore at home, then they and Jordan will have the same number of points, both 10.
According to FIFA rules, in such a situation, the goal difference of the two teams in all matches in the group stage is compared.
Jordan, who are now in second place, have a goal difference of five, while Iraq have a goal difference of zero.
Therefore, while counting on the Chinese team to beat Jordan, they themselves will have to face Singapore at home to get more goal difference to have a chance to break into the top 10.
What they are most worried about now is that China and Jordan will play a tacit game in the last game, and if the two sides draw, then no matter how many goals Iraq wins against Singapore, it will not be able to change their fate of being eliminated.
At that time, the Chinese team will join hands with Jordan to qualify.
In fact, Iraq's worries are not unreasonable, because in China, some media have already shouted the slogan of "happily join hands to qualify".
In terms of actual results, the two teams really can't fight to the death for an Iraq, they only need to play a draw to qualify. So what motivation is there to fight?
Perhaps there is only the pressure of public opinion about "sportsmanship......
After Zhou Yi arrived at the national team, he attended a press conference with Gao Hongbo, at which he was asked a somewhat unfriendly question by a bearded reporter who identified himself as Al Jazeera in Qatar.
"According to the current situation, as long as you draw with Jordan at home, the two teams of China and Jordan will qualify for the top 10. So are you going to play a game at home against Jordan?"
As soon as this question was asked, it aroused the dissatisfaction of many Chinese reporters at the scene, and there was an uproar at the scene, with some Chinese reporters shouting in English: "Do you think we are all you West Asia?"
It is also recognized that West Asian football is good at match-fixing.
However, under the accusations of others, the Qatari journalist's face changed, and he did not look at the Chinese reporters who glared at him angrily, and his eyes were always locked on Zhou Yi.
Stubbornly asked Zhou Yi to answer this question.
Why don't you ask Gao Hongbo, but Zhou Yi?
Because Zhou Yi is much younger than Gao Hongbo, young people are sometimes more impulsive and easy to fall into some text traps.
To put it bluntly, I just think Zhou Yi is easy to bully.
Zhu Qiang, the press officer of the national team, leaned over to Gao Hongbo and whispered, as if he wanted to refuse to answer the question.
But Zhou Yi spoke directly: "Then this gentleman, what is your definition of tacit ball?"
Zhou Yi was mainly anti-guest, and a rhetorical question made the scene quiet, and everyone turned their attention to the reporter from Qatar's Al Jazeera.
Football is now passed to him by Zhou Yi, how will he deal with it?
The Qatari journalist also has a big heart, and he said with a straight face: "It's just a draw." ”
There was a burst of boos from the scene, from Chinese journalists.
After the boos subsided, Zhou Yi spread his hands: "I don't understand this, sir." The outcome of a football match is nothing more than a win and a loss, as well as a draw, just these three outcomes. With a single sentence, you leave only two outcomes in a football game: victory and defeat, because a draw is a tacit goal, which is not normal...... Did you define a draw like that, did you ask FIFA?"
The scene resounded with the laughter of Chinese journalists.
Gao Hongbo, who was sitting next to Zhou Yi, also squinted his eyes and smiled, and then made a gesture to Zhu Qiang, and Zhu Qiang no longer whispered to him, but returned to his position, straightening his waist and looking at the provocative Qatari reporter.
The Qatari reporter obviously didn't expect Zhou Yi to answer him like this, he wanted to play word games with Zhou Yi, but found that Zhou Yi was the master of word games! This is obviously deliberately distorting his meaning, and then expanding it infinitely, in fact, he is a scoundrel.
But he couldn't accuse Zhou Yi of being a scoundrel, because in that case, Zhou Yi could accuse him in turn......
So he shook his head and said: "I'm just saying that in the current situation, if the Chinese team and Iraq draw it, it will be a tacit match." ”
This time, there are no Chinese reporters booing him, not that Chinese reporters agree with his statement, but everyone wants to see how Zhou Yi will deal with him.
"Of course we're going to win every game, gentleman. It's our home turf after all, and our goal is, of course, to win. But the game of football is unknown, there are many possibilities, and there are always all kinds of accidents. So the results don't mean that we can get what we want. Zhou Yi was not angry at the other party's unreasonableness, but patiently explained to him. "But please also understand that we have already qualified for the top 10 in advance, and in such a situation, there is no reason for us to do our best and risk injury for the sake of Iraq - I know that Qatar has money, so if I retire seriously injured in the game against Jordan, can you support me for the rest of my life?"
He asked with a smile, and the Chinese reporters laughed cooperatively.
The Qatari reporter didn't answer Zhou Yi's question, and of course Zhou Yi didn't expect the reporter to answer his question - he would be stupid if he did answer - his question was just to mock the Qatari reporter.
He then continued: "I think even if we have reservations in the game, it's normal behavior, don't think about it. Even if it was a draw in the end, it would be just a normal result of so many normal factors. It has nothing to do with what tacit ball is. In addition, I would like to ask you to believe in our sportsmanship, and I can assure you that we will never be able to do such an unsportsmanlike thing as closing an entire hotel under the pretext of renovation, please rest assured. You should be able to see how sportsmanlike we are, right?"
Speaking of which, the people at the press conference were already bursting into laughter. Everyone knows what Zhou Yi's last sentence is referring to, this face is really beautiful!
Sure enough, the Qatari reporter who was still able to change his face before, and glared at the Chinese reporters with cold eyebrows, was blushing by Zhou Yi's words, and his beard seemed to tremble.
Gao Hongbo and Zhu Qiang didn't hide the smiles on their faces, maybe they didn't want to hide it at all......
"Then this gentleman, do you still have any doubts?" Zhou Yi asked, with a faint smile on his face, this smile was simply mocking in the eyes of many people......
The Qatari journalist was very unwilling to be defeated like this, he wanted to mottle himself, but his mouth was open, but he didn't know what to say, he just opened his mouth and couldn't say it for a long time.
Seeing this, press officer Zhu Qiang also took the opportunity to say: "Since there is no problem, this press conference is over, thank you for your participation and support for the work of the national team!"
A tense press conference ended with laughter.
I believe that Zhou Yi's performance at this press conference will definitely be disseminated by the media, and then it will be talked about for a long time and become an anecdote in his career......
