Chapter 40: A team defeated at the feet

When the Chinese team took the bus to the stadium, in addition to many Chinese reporters and fans, there were also more Brazilian media and Brazilian fans waiting outside the hotel.

Some of the Brazilian fans held up signs to show the Chinese players.

When Zhou Yi saw this slogan for the first time, he almost died of laughter.

Because these slogans are written in Chinese characters, but the meaning is very strange.

"Tiny Zhou Yi!"

Maybe they mean to say that Zhou Yi is insignificant?

"Zhou Yi caesarean section!"

This slogan may have been made by a Japanese, but unfortunately Zhou Yi is not Japanese, and the practice of apology Chinese disembowelment is not popular......

"Big Bad Guy Zhou Yi!"

This meaning is clearly expressed, but it is surprisingly cute......

Seeing these ridiculous slogans, Zhou Yi did not board the car directly, but turned in front of these Brazilian fans, then turned around, stood in front of the slogans, and made a V-shaped gesture to ask his teammates to take pictures of him as a souvenir.

Sun Pan picked up the smartphone very cooperatively and pressed the shutter button.

The other media reporters also noticed this scene and turned the cameras and cameras to record the scene.

Of course, in the eyes of different people, this scene has different interpretations, and the Chinese think that Zhou Yi is showing his confidence and humor, but in the eyes of Brazilians, Zhou Yi is provoking.

So when Zhou Yi took a photo with these messy banners, there were always Brazilian fans shouting and scolding behind him, if it weren't for the police and security guards standing between them, I'm afraid that there would really be Brazilian fans rushing up to beat Zhou Yi, so that Zhou Yi would be completely absent from the next game.

After the group photo, Zhou Yi took the mobile phone from Sun Pan's hand to see how he took it, and then asked him to send the photo to himself: "I want to post Weibo!"

"Damn, I'm going to send ...... too"

"You've forwarded me. Zhou Yi decided so.

Then the two of them walked onto the bus with their heads down and operated their mobile phones, leaving behind all those shouts and swearing.

Soon, Chinese fans refreshed Weibo and found that Zhou Yi had updated a new Weibo, which was a group photo of him in front of those slogans, in addition to several separate photos of the slogans, looking for each slogan, so that everyone could clearly see what was written on the slogan.

The caption reads: "Thank you to the passionate Brazilian fans for cheering me on, but I think they still need to work hard to learn Chinese and improve their knowledge......"

Soon, Sun Pan reposted this Weibo: "As a photographer, I prove that the enthusiastic Brazilian fans gave a very cordial greeting to Zhou Yi!"

Fans look at the time, isn't the Chinese team now in a car ready to go to the stadium?

At this time, the two main forces are still brushing Weibo?

"Big brother, are you serious?"

"Hahaha! Brazilian fans' Chinese is very anxious!"

"Is this slogan written by a Japanese? I have long heard that Brazil and Japan have good relations, and it seems that this is indeed the case!"

"Tiny Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi quickly prove to them, you are not small at all!"

"Big Bad......?"

"Zhou Yi offended the Brazilian fans, and went to the hotel of the Chinese team to protest, the pressure at the time of the game can be imagined, I hope he will not be affected by anything bad......"

"Damn, didn't our fans scold back?!"

"The Brazilian media is desperately fanning the flames, I suspect it's a ...... organized by someone"

Because of Zhou Yi's words before the game, the smell of gunpowder in this game suddenly became a lot stronger.

When the Chinese team arrived at the stadium and went out to warm up, they could hear boos against them.

Of course, it was Zhou Yi who was booed the most.

But Zhou Yi didn't care, just buried himself in the warm-up.

After the warm-up, everyone returned to the locker room.

At this time, there was still more than half an hour before the start of the game.

Everyone is making final preparations.

The team's assistant coach, Leeter, walked in and slapped everyone to remind everyone: "Hurry up, Lippi will come to speak in a moment!"

Soon, Lippi and the coaching staff walked into the dressing room, and everyone had changed their belongings.

They looked at the manager, Lippi looked at them.

"In 20 minutes, the game will start. Because our opponents are the hosts, we always get more attention and talk more than other matches. Now I want everyone to put all the pre-game stuff behind and focus on this game. Always keep in mind that they are not as strong as they say they are, and we are not as weak as they think we are. Lippi said.

'Whatever happens on the pitch, believe in yourselves and believe that you can beat the opponent. This is important. It's definitely not going to be our last game at the World Cup, I'm very convinced of that. ”

"I know that China and Brazil played each other in the World Cup 12 years ago, and I know the score of that game. But you are not the Chinese team of the year, and the Brazilian team of the past is not the Brazilian team of the past. There is no such thing as an invincible team in this world, and there is no 'unspoken rule' that the host cannot be out. ”

On the other side, Scolari is putting the finishing touches on his players.

“...... Their core is Zhou Yi, who has to keep putting pressure on him in the game, putting enough pressure on him, entanglement him, and not letting him pass the ball easily...... The other thing is to be careful of their counterattacks, our defenders must return to the defense in time when they go up to attack...... Finally, I would like to say that we are superior to theirs, there is no doubt about that. It's our home again, so we deserve to win and we have to win. What is our goal? It is to hold the Hercules Gold Cup in front of the people of the motherland! I have had the experience of winning the cup, so believe me, I will let you get your wish!"

Lippi continued: "...... Brazil do have the home advantage and we will meet their huge number of home fans in the game and their voices will definitely have some impact on us. But remember, it's not us who will be most affected, it's them. Playing at home is an advantage, but it's also a lot of pressure. If they don't perform as well as they should in the game, then the expectations of the home fans, and even the national fans, will turn into pressure...... This has already been proven in the first two group games. Brazilian fans are asking for more than just a win...... So we're going to keep giving them problems in the game, both offensively and defensively. Just let them get into the mud, then the people who support them will lose patience......"

Scolari: "...... We are fighting for 200 million Brazilians! Behind each of you there are 8.7 million people watching you! They will give you strength! Don't let them down!"

Lippi: "We have to be more patient than them, and of course more cunning than them......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi smiled.

"Remember, the World Cup is a game where the result is bigger than everything else, and the result is far more important than the process. No matter what the process is, even if it is extremely embarrassing, as long as the final winner is us, it is a success!"

When the players from both sides came out of their dressing rooms, they met in the tunnel of the players.

The players on both sides just stood next to each other, each forming a team.

Zhou Yi, as the captain of the team, stood at the front of the team wearing the captain's armband, and the other Brazilian players could easily see him without turning their heads.

For Zhou Yi, these Brazilian players are no strangers, after all, everyone is working hard in the European arena, although they come from different clubs, there is always a chance to meet in the Champions League. For example, the starters of Marcelo, Alves, Thiago Silva, and Fernandinho in the Brazilian team were all encountered by Zhou Yi in the Champions League. Oscar, on the other hand, played in the UEFA Super Cup, while Gustavo, who played for Wolfsburg, met in the Bundesliga.

So everyone must be no stranger to Zhou Yi.

Even Neymar, a player who has not had time to play with Zhou Yi in the club, must have heard of and known Zhou Yi, after all, the media has reported Zhou Yi's deeds.

The winner of the Champions League in both seasons and the best player in Europe last season is not an exaggeration to describe him as famous.

However, the Brazilian players looked at Zhou Yi, not with the eyes of the Champions League winners, but with strong hostility.

Zhou Yi just uttered wild words and insulted the entire Brazilian football.

In addition to the grievances of the national team, they and Zhou Yi also have more or less club feuds.

After all, Dortmund does not have a player who plays for the Brazilian national team, so there are no teammates of Zhou Yi in the club, but they are all opponents.

Marcelo, who was defeated by him in last season's Champions League final, Thiago Silva and David Ruiz, who were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and Hulk, who was defeated by him in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. and Oscar, who was defeated by him in the UEFA Super Cup.

If you go back a season, then there is Fernandinho, who was defeated by him in the group stage of the Champions League.

In addition, Alves and Cesar have both been defeated at the feet of Zhou Yi, not to mention Gustavo, who was already in the Bundesliga, whether it is in Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich, or Wolfsburg, he often plays against Zhou Yi, and he loses more and wins less.

It can be said that the whole Brazilian team is basically defeated by Zhou Yi alone......

Now this game, for the Brazilian players, is simply a public enmity and personal grudge, to make an understanding in this game!
