Chapter 265 You and I talk about sportsmanship?

Because of Sun Pan, the Chinese National Olympic Team defeated the Korean National Olympic Team at home and reached its peak after the game.

Chinese media and fans unscrupulously mocked the arrogant Korean media and journalists.

Sun Pan became the new "anti-Korean hero" of Chinese football, showing off his sensation and even overshadowed the forward He Ying who scored in this game... Of course, this is also the result he hopes to achieve.

With his outstanding performance in this game and everyone has photographed the national team head coach Gao Hongbo appearing in the stands of the national Olympic team competition, it is obvious that he is here to observe the young players of the national Olympic team.

So can Sun Pan have a chance to be promoted to the national team with his outstanding performance in this game?

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 after the game and answered this question.

"Any player who performs well has the opportunity to enter the national team, and the door to the national team is open to every capable player." Gao Hongbo's answered in ambiguous manner.

Although he did not say it explicitly, these words actually made everyone look forward to the outstanding young Chinese Olympic players entering the national team...

The last Olympic qualifiers of the National Olympic Team will be held on March 14th. If the Chinese team can defeat Saudi Arabia away, they will be awarded the right to participate in the London Olympics.

The last group match is also very important.

But now, they still have to return to the club and participate in the league.

※※※

In the 22nd round of the league, Dortmund challenged Hertha Berlin away.

Dortmund, who just finished the Champions League, performed a personnel rotation. Most of the players who played in the last Champions League game did not appear in the starting list in this game, and some people didn't even make the roster at all...

For example, Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi did not appear on the big list.

However, Klopp denied that this arrangement was to avoid suspicion.

"Let Zhou Yi rotate it not to avoid relying on him. Football is a team sport. Our victory is not the credit of a player alone, so if you lose the ball, of course it cannot be the credit of a person alone. Dortmund will not rely on a person alone. The reason why Zhou Yi did not appear in the roster of the game is that I think the Chinese reporters present must also understand..."

Some German journalists turned their heads and looked at the few Chinese journalists.

These few Chinese journalists nodded and agreed.

Of course they know why, and this is also the reason why there are so few Chinese journalists they participated in this game.

Because there will be no Zhou Yi in this game, there is no need to go to so many Chinese journalists.

So why would Zhou Yi not participate in this competition?

On the one hand, it is because I just finished the Champions League, and on the other hand, it is because there is a national team game next.

In the Asian qualifiers of the World Cup, the last round of the top 20 matches, the Chinese team will face Jordan at home.

Although the Chinese team has qualified for the top ten games in advance.

But if the Chinese team loses to Jordan in the last game, it will become the second in the group.

Of course, the Chinese team cannot accept such a result.

So you can't lose this game.

For this reason, Zhou Yi also needs to return to China to help.

In order to give Zhou Yi a better rest, Klopp did not allow Zhou Yi to participate in the competition.

This can reduce Zhou Yi's burden. Even if he participates in a national team game, he will not be too tired after returning to Dortmund.

※※※

In the end, Dortmund, who did not have Zhou Yi, defeated Hertha Berlin 1-0 away.

Although he won the game, he still left some media a handle, because Dortmund only won one goal, and the game process was not too smooth...

While the game was in progress, Zhou Yi had already flew back to China to prepare for the last top 20 match against Jordan.

The lowest goal of the Chinese team is to draw against Jordan, but Iraq hopes that the Chinese team can win.

Because if Jordan loses to the Chinese team away and Iraq defeats Singapore at home, then their points will be the same as Jordan, both of which are ten.

According to FIFA rules, in this case, first compare the goal difference between the two teams in all the matches in this group stage.

Jordan, who is ranked second, now has five goals, while Iraq has zero goals.

So while expecting the Chinese team to defeat Jordan, they also have to face Singapore at home to get more goal difference in the top ten games.

What they are most worried about now is that the Chinese team and Jordan play a tacit match in the last game. If both sides draw, no matter how many goals Iraq wins in Singapore, they will not be able to change their fate of being eliminated.

At that time, the Chinese team will qualify with Jordan.

In fact, Iraq's concern is not unreasonable, because in China, some media have already shouted the slogan of "Happy to qualify together".

In terms of actual results, the two teams really don’t have to fight to the death for one Iraq. They just need to tie the game and qualify. So what motivation is there to fight?

Perhaps there is only public opinion pressure on "sports ethics"...

After Zhou Yi arrived at the national team, he attended a press conference with the national team Gao Hongbo. At the press conference, he was asked a somewhat unfriendly question by a bearded reporter who claimed to be Qatar Al Jazeera.

"According to the current situation, as long as you draw with Jordan at home, the two teams of China and Jordan will be qualified for the top ten. So will you play a tacit understanding with Jordan at home?"

As soon as this question was asked, it caused dissatisfaction among many Chinese journalists at the scene. There was an uproar in the scene. A Chinese journalist shouted loudly in English: "Do you think we are all you West Asia!"

Xiya Football is good at playing counterfeit football, which is also recognized.

However, under the accusation of others, the Qatari journalist changed his face. He did not look at the Chinese journalists who glared at him, and his eyes were always on Zhou Yi.

He 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 are prone to falling 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, came to Gao Hongbo and whispered in a low voice, as if he wanted to refuse to answer this question.

But Zhou Yi spoke directly: "So, sir, what is your definition of tacit understanding ball?"

Zhou Yi turned against the crowd, and a question made the scene quiet, and everyone turned their attention to the Qatar Al Jazeera reporter.

Football has been passed to him by Zhou Yi, how should he deal with it?

The Qatari journalist also had a big heart. He said without changing his face: "It's a draw."

A boo sounded from the Chinese journalist.

After the booing subsided, Zhou Yi spread his hands: "I don't understand this, sir. The results of a football match are nothing more than victory and failure, and a draw, these three results. You just say that the football match only has two results: victory and failure, because the draw is a tacit understanding, which is abnormal... Have you ever asked FIFA for the definition of the draw?"

The laughter of Chinese journalists rang out at the scene.

Gao Hongbo, who was sitting next to Zhou Yi, also narrowed his eyes and smiled, then made a gesture to Zhu Qiang. Zhu Qiang stopped whispering to him, but returned to his position and straightened his back to look at the provocative Qatari reporter.

The Qatari reporter obviously didn't expect that Zhou Yi would 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 obviously deliberately distorted his meaning and expanded infinitely, in fact, he was playing a rogue.

But he couldn't accuse Zhou Yi of being a scoundrel, because in that case, Zhou Yi could accuse him in reverse...

So he shook his head and said, "I just said that under the current situation, if the Chinese team tied with Iraq, it would be a tacit understanding."

There are no Chinese journalists boo him this time. It’s not that Chinese journalists agree with his statement, but that everyone wants to see how Zhou Yi will deal with him. At this time, you can’t use boo to scatter the main players.

"Of course we will pursue victory in every game, this gentleman. After all, this is our home court, and our goal is of course to win. But football games are unknown, there are many possibilities, and there are always various accidents. So the result is not to say what we can get as much as we want." Zhou Yi was not angry about the opponent's unreasonableness, but explained to him patiently. "But please understand that we have qualified for the top ten games in advance. In this case, we have no reason to do our best to take the risk of injury for the appearance of Iraq - I know Qatar is rich, so if I retired seriously in the game against Jordan, can you support me for the rest of my life?"

He asked with a smile, while the Chinese journalists laughed in great cooperation.

The Qatari reporter did not answer Zhou Yi's question, and of course Zhou Yi did not expect the press conference to answer his question - if he really answered it would be stupid - his question was just to laugh at the Qatari reporter.

Then he continued: "I think even if we have reservations in the game, it is a normal behavior. Don't think too much. Even if it is a draw in the end, it is just a normal result caused by so many normal factors. It has nothing to do with tacit understanding. In addition, I would like to ask you to believe in our sports ethics. On this point, I can assure you that no matter what, we will never be able to do something without sports ethics such as a whole hotel under the pretext of decoration. Please rest assured by one hundred people. Through this matter, you should be able to see how sports ethics we are, right?"

Speaking of this, the people at the press conference were already burst into laughter. Everyone knew what Zhou Yi was referring to in the last sentence. The face was so beautiful!

Sure enough, the Qatari reporter who was still able to remain calm before was still glaring at the Chinese journalists with a cold face, was blushed when Zhou Yi said, and his beard seemed to tremble.

Gao Hongbo and Zhu Qiang did not hide the smiles on their faces. Perhaps they did not want to hide them at all...

"So, sir, do you have any doubts?" Zhou Yi asked, with a faint smile on his face. In the eyes of many people, this smile was simply a mockery...

The Qatari journalist was very unwilling to lose. He wanted to mottle himself, but his mouth opened but he didn't know what to say. He was so speechless that he couldn't say it for a long time.

Seeing this, the press officer Zhu Qiang took the opportunity to say: "Since there is nothing wrong, then the press conference ends here. Thank you for your participation and support for the work of the national team!"

A tense press conference ended with laughter and joy.
