Chapter 27: Do You Like Failure?
"Holy! There's a camera! It's over, my image!"
Sun Pan held his head in his hands and howled in a low voice. It seems that his emotions have recovered from the fiasco, which may have played a role in Zhou Yi's original comfort, of course, it is also very likely that Sun Pan himself is relatively second, and he will not be depressed for too long. In a sense, this can be regarded as a character advantage.
At dinner, Sun Pan, Zhou Yi, Yang Muge, and Guo Nu sat at a table - Guo Nu was naturally warmly invited by Zhou Yi, and then sat beside them to eat together under Sun Pan's angry gaze. But he was silent the whole time, just eating, and did not participate in the discussion of the other three people.
"Do you still have an image?" Zhou Yi was shocked.
"What's that expression on your face?" Sun Pan was dissatisfied. "Why don't I have an image, I'm tall and mighty! I act chivalrous! I ......"
Seeing that everyone was eating with their heads down, and no one paid attention to him, he also felt bored, so his eyes rolled, and he thought of another topic: "Old Zhou, let me ask you, how could you endure that Liang Qiqi's words were so ugly at that time? You also apologized to him and explained what you said...... What are you doing with that idiot?"
Although everyone is teammates, they come from all over the world, have different backgrounds and experiences, and have different temperaments and temperaments, so naturally it is impossible for everyone to have a good relationship. Zhou Yi has a good relationship with Sun Pan and Yang Muge, but his relationship with others is relatively average.
Naturally, other people have different networks among themselves.
For example, Guo Nu and Liang Qiqi are enemies, because on the first day of joining the team, Liang Qiqi laughed at Guo Nu's stuttering and appearance, and then was beaten by Guo Nu.
And Sun Pan is simply unhappy with Liang Qiqi - there is no enmity between them, but Sun Pan just can't get used to Liang Qiqi, Liang Qiqi's way of life, and his high-profile display in the team, as if under He Ying, he is the biggest name in the team.
Liang Qiqi's skills are really good, and his movements are real flowers, but Sun Pan has a point-blank evaluation of him - "embroidered pillow", on the training ground, he can play football, but at that time, because there was no one to defend closely, his physical confrontation ability was very poor, and his ability to handle the ball in confrontation situations was also very weak. So Sun Pan looked down on him and felt that he was just a flashy player who only knew how to show off his skills, but had no use, and he was pretentious, which was ridiculous.
Sun Pan is also unhappy with He Ying, but that unhappiness stems more from a kind of jealousy, although Sun Pan himself will never admit that he is jealous of He Ying.
And his displeasure with Liang Qiqi stems from his disdain.
"Hey, isn't there a camera? I always have to pay attention to my image in front of hundreds of millions of TV viewers in China. Zhou Yi said.
"You still have an image?" Sun Pan finally waited for the time to fight back, and he also pretended to be surprised.
"Why not? I said Sun Pan, as soon as this show is broadcast, we are all public figures, maybe if you walk on the street in the future, there will be beautiful girls who will stop you and ask you for an autograph, so you have to take a picture with you. Zhou Yi outlined a beautiful blueprint for the future for Sun Pan, looking at Sun Pan's expression, he was obviously immersed in the beautiful world described by Zhou Yi.
Yang Muge's focus was not on being stopped by the girl to sign a group photo, he asked Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, I listened to your explanation at the time, are you serious?"
"Of course it is, that's from the bottom of my heart! I'm experienced when it comes to failure!"
Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Guo Nu, who had been eating beside him and didn't say a word, couldn't help it, and complained: "What is there to be proud of......
For the first time, it was rare for Sun Pan and Guo Nu to reach an agreement, and he also rolled his eyes and said: "You are so proud of losing, you still say that you have an image ......"
But Yang Muge was obviously more interested in Zhou Yi's words, and he asked, "Where have you accumulated so much experience of failure?"
"In a dream. Zhou Yi replied with his head held high.
Guo Nu, who was next to him, couldn't help but squirt the rice in his mouth onto his own plate when he heard this answer, and at the same time, a lot of it was sucked into the trachea, choking him to cough loudly.
And Sun Pan patted the stunned Yang Muge's shoulder and laughed: "Look, look, you still ask seriously!"
Zhou Yi pouted.
He is telling the truth, but many people will not believe it.
yes, who can believe he's played La Masia Youth B dozens of times in his sleep?

After dinner, head coach Hao Dong met in the room of chief director Xu Tao, and they wanted to discuss the program.
Because this game was lost so badly, it was necessary to negotiate on the editing of the show, and Xu Tao also wanted to make some requests to Hao Dong to see if he could try to make the game not lose so badly.
“...... Of course I don't want the game to go like this, but it can't be helped, that's the gap between us and European football, the real gap. Sitting on the sofa, Hao Dong spread out his hands and said helplessly. "It's not something we can solve with one more training session a day, even if you whip them, they can't get stronger right away, it's the law of football, you have to take it one step at a time. ”
"Then you say, why do we need this show? It's too ugly. Xu Tao was unwilling.
"Look at the video of the game, find more highlights of our players' performances, and finally talk about the score. Repeated defeats and repeated defeats. Hao Dong reminded.
Xu Tao listened to his words and fell into silence for a while.
Repeated defeats may sound like a team is incompetent, but repeated defeats sound like a team that is resilient after a setback. The latter sounds a lot better.
That's a way of thinking.
"Okay......" Xu Tao nodded.
"It's okay, then I'll go back to my room, and I have to study the next opponent, Real Madrid's youth team......"
"Oh no, there's something I want you to see. After Xu Tao finished speaking, he opened a video file on the computer desktop.
Hao Dong leaned over to take a look...... It turned out to be a picture in the team's locker room.
When Xu Tao and himself discussed whether the cameraman should also be allowed to enter the locker room, he said that with the cameraman present, the children would be uncomfortable, but Xu Tao wanted to have the picture in the locker room, after all, this is a reality show, not a real football game, so in the end, the two sides decided not to use the cameraman, but to use a camera to shoot automatically inside, so that although it is difficult to cover everything, it can give people a feeling of "candid shooting", so that the audience believes in the authenticity of the performance of the young players in front of the camera lens.
Unexpectedly, they really filmed a real "real".
A real infighting.
Hao Dong didn't know anything about what was happening inside the team, he was surprised and then a little angry, because he had only lost a game, and the team was actually infighting!
It's a shame for him as a manager.
So he asked, "You're going to cut this into the show?"
Xu Tao nodded: "Why not? I think this section is very interesting, this is the highest pursuit of reality shows - real, absolutely real, not 'real' rehearsed by the script director." ”
"But this one is true...... It's a shame. ”
"It depends on how you look at it, just looking at the two sides arguing is not very good-looking. But if you focus on this child......" Xu Tao stretched out his hand and pointed to Zhou Yi, who was talking on the screen.
He turned to the camera lens and was explaining to Liang Qiqi: "...... What I mean is actually very simple, didn't Mr. Hao say that more important than the victory or defeat of the game is to have a champion heart who always pursues victory, with this heart, even if we encounter temporary setbacks and failures, victory will eventually belong to us. So it's just the first game......"
Hao Dong was a little surprised, he didn't expect that someone really understood the true purpose of his pre-match words.
Yes, he knew the game was going to be lost, he knew it was going to be bad, but how do you get the players to recover from the defeat quickly? He got a pre-match shot and he wants the young players to take that to heart.
But obviously, judging by the performance of those people after the game, it seems that there is only ...... Zhou Yi listened alone.
This kid......
Hao Dong not only thought of the finals of the audition, but also reminded the players to pay attention to teamwork before the game, but the result was that only Zhou Yi listened.
Although he is now the weakest of the sixteen in the team, he is the best at understanding the manager's intentions......
"We have to get the audience to see the positive side of this failure, and I think it's better for the kid to speak naturally than to have someone to say it. That's good, and that's what we expected. Xu Tao said.
"Okay......" Hao Dong also nodded after seeing Zhou Yi's performance, agreeing with the plan of the chief director Xu Tao. If it weren't for Zhou Yi's words, he would definitely have to fight with Xu Tao on this issue.

When Zhou Yi returned to the hotel room, He Ying was already in the room, he didn't go anywhere, and returned to the room after eating.
Zhou Yi noticed that he didn't hold the Catalan textbook in his hand today, and he was fascinated by it.
Presumably, the defeat of this game hit him hard enough to make him give up the idea of joining La Masia.
Although He Ying, as his roommate, did not say a few words to himself, the two of them have always been in their own ways in the room, and he even tricked him into signing autographs to sell for money...... But anyway, as a roommate, Zhou Yi was a little unbearable when he saw He Ying, who was usually so arrogant, suddenly like this, and he comforted him: "What ......?"
He Ying looked up at him, a pair of eyes without waves.
"That...... Actually, you don't have to take this game too seriously, according to the rules, don't we have to come back here and fight them again......?"
He Ying still looked at him with those eyes.
“...... So, maybe we'll be able to win then?" Zhou Yi said.
The corners of He Ying's mouth twitched.
"Huh. ”
He sneered.
Zhou Yi also felt that his comfort was too much of a failure, and any normal person would not believe that they would be able to go from a twelve-goal fiasco to a defeat against La Masia's youth B team in two months, right?
It's incredible, it doesn't sound like a consolation, it's more like irony......
"Okay......" Zhou Yi also knew that in front of He Ying, if he said too much, he would lose.
So he went to wash himself and went to bed.
He couldn't wait to experience another failure in a virtual system.
If someone asks Zhou Yi if he falls in love with the feeling of failure after being numb, then Zhou Yi will definitely look at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and say:
"No, I don't like to lose, but that's the price you have to pay to win. ”
If you feel disdainful of his posturing tone, then you will miss the golden truth.
If you want to be able to fight, you must first learn to be beaten.

"Welcome, Zhou Yi. Chu Aya smiled and looked at Zhou Yi who appeared in front of him.
"Hello, Chu Aya. It's still the old rule, let's have a game first. ”
"Please choose your opponent. Chu Aya said.
"La Masia Youth B Team. Zhou Yi replied.
Chu Aya was a little surprised: "Your game with this team is over, Zhou Yi." Next up is Real Madrid's academy Lafabrica's youth team......"
She reminded Zhou Yi that it was time to change opponents.
"No, I still have to play against this team. Zhou Yi shook his head.
"Why?" Chu Aya was curious.
"Because I haven't won yet!" Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said.
I hate failure, past, present, and future. So you've won us so many times, but we haven't won once, how can we just let you go?

PS, Alliance Leader Jiagen, thank our old Alliance Leader Tianruoshui - don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about old age, but old seniority. Starting from the deacon of "The Godfather of Champions", the deacon of "Legend of Champions", and then to the alliance leaders of "The Hero of the Forbidden Zone" and "The Winner is King" and "The Light of Champions", it has been almost ten years along the way.
I am very grateful to have been able to walk hand in hand in these nine years, and I hope to continue to walk side by side.
Thank you!
