After Zhou Yi scolded Reporter Zhang with "Fangcaotian" on Weibo, he didn't say anything anymore, no matter how Reporter Zhang jumped, he didn't respond. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, in fact, there was no need for him to respond, after he scolded the other party by surprise, he drifted away, leaving only a legendary back for future generations to admire.

And he doesn't need to do anything like beating the water dogs, and he has those netizens to do it.

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

What is he doing? Of course, he is seriously preparing for the semi-finals.

That evening, China's opponent in the semi-finals was already known, and as expected, Brazil defeated Honduras and will meet the Chinese Olympic team in the semi-finals.

This is not an opponent that can be won casually.

So although there are also many reporters who want to ask a little bit from Zhou Yi about his grievances with reporter Zhang of the "Legal Evening News".

But Zhou Yi didn't answer this question: "I only focus on our opponents in the semi-finals, don't take out the questions of idle people, there's nothing to say, I'll finish what I should say." ”

Reporter Zhang was completely abandoned by Zhou Yi......

The "mob" on the Internet quickly diverted their attention and interest after a day of teasing Reporter Zhang, and although Reporter Zhang continued to post criticisms and accusations against Zhou Yi on his Weibo and a Q&A website, no one cared about his remarks and words.

Compared to scolding, the game is the main thing.

It is already remarkable for the Chinese Olympic team to reach the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, but if they win one more game, they will be able to win a medal for sure, which is a historic breakthrough for the Chinese men's football team.

Can Zhou Yi and his teammates do it?

This is the most important issue for everyone now.

Brazil are the favourites to win the tournament, and China's encounter in the semi-finals has left many fans in the country feeling sorry for them – look at the other semi-final, Mexico and Japan.

The Mexican Olympic team was defeated by the Chinese team in the group stage, and the Japanese team is not afraid of them with the current performance of the national Olympic team. Among the four teams, the two teams that everyone felt were relatively weak got together, but the Chinese team just met the strongest team......

Now many people look back and think about the group stage, and they think that if the Chinese team lost a game in the group stage, it might be better to win the second place in the group. In that case, China will be able to avoid Brazil in the semi-finals. Although they will meet the host team Great Britain in the quarter-finals, but looking at the performance of the British team this year, even if they meet them, everyone believes that the Chinese team will definitely win.

Now, if the Chinese team wants to enter the final, it will have to fight Brazil. In the end, it is likely to be a situation where "cranes and mussels compete with each other, and fishermen benefit".

So a reporter asked Zhou Yi if he would regret winning the first place in the group.

Zhou Yi looked puzzled: "Why?"

"Because the second place in the group can avoid the Brazilian team...... the journalist asked.

"But we could also meet Brazil in the final. ”

"That being said, if you make it to the final, you can secure a medal......," the reporter argued.

Zhou Yi smiled: "Have you forgotten what I said at the press conference? Our goal this time is the gold medal." How can you just be satisfied with reaching the finals? If you have to meet them, what difference does it make if you meet them in the final or the semi-finals?"

Zhou Yi did emphasize at the press conference that the Chinese team's goal is to win the gold medal this time, but everyone still feels that there is some gambling in it. As professional football journalists, we know that there are many factors that determine the outcome of a football match, such as strength, form and luck.

Even if the morale of the Chinese team is high now and the players are in good condition, the overall strength is still not superior to the Brazilian Olympic team, coupled with unpredictable luck, how can Zhou Yi be so sure that they will win the gold medal?

※※※

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

This information is that Zhou Yi publicly stated that the goal of the Chinese Olympic team is to win the gold medal.

Although Zhou Yi said that he wanted to win the gold medal when he was in China, after all, it was only in China, and the influence was not great, and it was absolutely impossible to reach the ears of the Brazilian team anyway.

This time it's different. At a press conference during the Olympics, he directly said that he wanted to win the gold medal.

“...... When Zhou Yi said this, we had not yet played 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 still have a lot of confidence in the Brazilian team, so they said such things.

And they also noticed that the theme of this press conference was Zhou Yi's anger in some Chinese media, and judging from the news reports of the past two days, they can easily know what happened - after the Chinese team eliminated the South Korean team, because of the controversial remarks of some players, it seems to have stirred up a storm in China, which swept the entire National Olympic team, so Zhou Yi, as the captain of the team, stood up and explained.

But judging by his explanation, the contradictions have not been alleviated, and the problem has not been solved in the slightest.

Zhou Yi has no intention of easing relations with the Chinese media.

At first glance, these things seem to have nothing to do with Brazil, and there is no need for the Brazilian media to pay attention. If Brazil's opponent in the semi-finals is not China, they really won't care.

However, as the opponent of the semi-finals, the Brazilian media believes that this incident will definitely have an impact on the Chinese team. And this impact can hardly be called "positive" - as a result of this incident, the preparation of the Chinese team and the mentality of the players will change, and 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 the Chinese Olympic team with Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, Yang Muge, Guo Nu and He Ying is a vulnerable opponent that can be defeated casually.

Now that they are in trouble and trouble, it is certainly good news for Brazil.

With this analysis, there is no suspense that the Brazilian Olympic team will reach the final, whether they meet Mexico or Japan in the final, they are confident that they will defeat their opponents and win the first men's gold medal in Brazil's Olympic history.

For Brazil, known as the "Kingdom of Football", it is indeed a very disgraceful history for Brazil to never win an Olympic title in their strongest men's football sport. Not to mention the Brazilians themselves, many foreigners may also find it difficult to understand - why can't the Brazilian Olympic team, which has so many talented players, not win an Olympic gold medal in men's football?

You know, they've even won the World Cup, the highest honor in senior men's football, five times.

The Olympics are a youth football competition for under-23 years, but in the history of the U20 World Youth Championship, which is a much better proof of the quality of Brazilian football in all age groups, Brazil has also won five championships in the history of the U20 World Youth Championship.

But at the Olympics, they just struggled to win a gold medal.

Since the Brazilian men's football team participated in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1952, the Brazilian men's football team has not won an Olympic gold medal in 60 years.

Before 1984, professional football players were not allowed to participate in the Olympic Games, so Brazil could not send the strongest team composed of players like Pele and Garrincha to participate in the Olympic Games, and could only form the national Olympic team with domestic second-rate players.

After the Brazilian national team won the World Cup for the first time in 1958, from the 1960 Rome Olympics to the 1972 Munich Olympics, the Brazilian Olympic team was eliminated in the group stage, and in the 1976 Olympic Games, the Brazilian Olympic team reached the top four in the Olympic Games for the first time in history, but in the end did not even win a medal, only won a fourth place......

By 1984, when professional players were finally allowed to participate in the Olympic Games, Brazil held their nerve to show off their football kingdom on the Olympic stage, and they reached the final, coming close to gold for the first time. But it was a pity that they ran into a much stronger French team, which had the "iron triangle of midfield" of Platini, Giresse and Tigana, who had just won the European Championship that year. In the final, the Brazilian Olympic team lost 0:2 to the French team and missed the gold medal.

At the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the Brazilian Olympic team, with such talents as Romario, Bebeto and Tafarel, reached the Olympic final again, but they fought hard with the Soviet team for 120 minutes, lost 1:2, and lost the gold medal again.

After 1992, a major change occurred in Olympic football, that is, Olympic football was no longer an international A-level competition, but a competition for players under the age of 23. Players must be under the age of 23 to participate in the Olympic Games, which has kept the vast majority of mature and high-level professional players out of the Olympic Games. This is the result of a conflict of interests between FIFA and the IOC.

At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, each team was allowed to have three overage players. This rule continues to this day. Despite all the restrictions, Brazilian football has entered its golden age, and the under-23 national team they can field is still strong. The Brazilian team at that Olympics had Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Bebeto and others. Two years ago, the Brazilian national team won the World Cup in the United States, and everyone thought that the Brazilian Olympic team was the favorite to win gold at the Olympics. However, they lost 0:1 to Japan in the group stage, revealing a big upset at that Olympics. In the end, Brazil made it to the semi-finals, but lost to eventual champions Nigeria in the semi-finals, taking home only one bronze medal.

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the Brazilian Olympic team led by coach Luxemberg vowed to win the gold medal, but was eliminated by Cameroon in the quarterfinals without even a medal. Luxenberg, who is the head coach of both the national Olympic team and the national team, was dismissed as the head coach of the two teams by the Brazilian Football Federation on the plane back to Brazil from Sydney......

At the 2004 Athens Olympics, Brazil did not even qualify for the finals. was eliminated in the South American qualifiers, and 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 Olympics, the Brazilian Olympic team was also a star-studded team, with Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Ronaldinho, Diego, Pato and other outstanding players. They met the Argentine Olympic team led by Messi and Sergio Aguero in the semi-finals. The rivalry between the South American rivals ended in a victory for the Argentine Olympic team, with Argentina winning the title and Messi taking home 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 has been aiming for the title, but the final result has been a big disappointment.

The football kingdom has five World Cup winners in its crown, but only the Olympic champions. While the absence of an Olympic champion does not detract from the status of Brazilian football, it can always be a bit of a pity.

In this London Olympics, the Brazilian Olympic team has the number one talent Neymar, AC Milan's main central defender Thiago Silva, Real Madrid's main left-back Marcelo, AC Milan's main striker Pato, as well as Oscar, Ganso, Hulk...... A group of big-name talented players.

Their goal is still to win gold.

Will Lady Luck open her arms to them this time?
