After Zhou Yi scolded reporter Zhang with "Fangcaotian" on Weibo, he never said anything again. No matter how reporter Zhang jumped, he did not respond.

Of course, there is no need for him to respond. After he caught the other party off guard, he floated away, leaving only a legendary back for future generations to admire.

And he doesn't need to take action to beat the dog in the water, as netizens will do it.

After Zhou Yi created a hot topic that was tens of millions of yuan for everyone, it disappeared from the Internet again.

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

That night, the Chinese team's opponent in the semi-finals was released. As expected, Brazil defeated Honduras and will meet the Chinese Olympic team in the semi-finals.

This is not a win-win opponent.

So although there are many reporters who want to inquire about Zhou Yi’s grievances with reporter Zhang from the Legal Evening News.

But Zhou Yi did not answer this question: "I only focus on our opponents in the semi-finals. Don't talk about the idle people's questions. There is nothing to say. I've finished everything I need to say."

Reporter Zhang was completely abandoned by Zhou Yi...

After teasing reporter Zhang for a day, the "mobs" on the Internet quickly diverted their attention and interest. Although reporter Zhang continued to post criticism and anger at Zhou Yi on his Weibo and a certain Q&A website, no one cared about his remarks and words.

Compared to slandering, competition is the main thing.

It is already amazing that the Chinese national Olympic team will reach the semi-finals of the Olympics, but if they win another game, they will definitely win a medal, which is a historic breakthrough for the Chinese men's football team.

Can Zhou Yi and his teammates do it?

This is the most concerned issue for everyone now.

The Brazilian Olympic team is the number one favorite to win the championship in this Olympics. The Chinese team met them in the semi-finals, which made many domestic fans feel very sorry to look at the two teams in the other semi-finals, Mexico and Japan.

The Mexican National Olympic Team was a defeated player of the Chinese team in the group stage. The Japanese team is not afraid of them with their current performance. Among the four teams, two teams with relatively weak strength gathered together, but the Chinese team met the strongest team...

Now many people look back at the group stage and 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 stage. In that case, the Chinese team could avoid Brazil in the semi-finals. Although they would meet the host British team in the quarter-finals, looking at the performance of this British team, even if they meet them, everyone believes that the Chinese team can definitely win.

Now, if the Chinese team wants to enter the finals, they have to fight against Brazil. In the end, it is very likely that it is a situation where "crowns and clams compete, and fisherman gains profit."

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 in the group can avoid the Brazilian team..." the reporter asked.

"But we may also meet Brazil in the final."

"That's right, but if you enter the finals, you can guarantee a medal..." the reporter defended.

Zhou Yi smiled: "Did you forget what I said at the press conference? Our goal this time is a gold medal. How can we be satisfied with entering the finals? If we have to meet them horizontally and vertically, what is the difference between meeting in the final or semi-finals?"

Zhou Yi did emphasize at the press conference that the Chinese team's goal is a gold medal, but everyone still feels that this is a bit of anger. Everyone is a professional football reporter and knows that there are many factors that determine the outcome of a football match, strength, status and luck are indispensable.

Even if the Chinese team is now in high morale and the players are in good condition, their overall strength is still not the upper hand compared to the Brazilian Olympic team. With the unpredictable luck, why is Zhou Yi so sure that they will win the gold medal?

※※※

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

This information is Zhou Yi publicly stated that the goal of the Chinese National Olympic Team is gold medal.

Although Zhou Yi said he wanted to win the gold medal when he was in China, it was just in China and had little influence. Anyway, it would never be able to reach the Brazilian team's ears.

This time it was different. At a press conference during the Olympics, he directly stated that he would win the gold medal.

"...When Zhou Yi said this, we had not played in the semi-finals with Honduras. I wonder if he still has such courage after learning that the opponent in the semi-finals is the Brazilian team led by Neymar..." The Brazilian media was still very confident in the Brazilian team, so they said such words.

They also noticed that the theme of this press conference was Zhou Yifu's criticism of some Chinese media. Based on the news reports in the past two days, they could easily know what happened. After the Chinese team eliminated the South Korean team, the controversial remarks of some players seemed to have caused a storm in China. The storm swept the entire national Olympic team, so Zhou Yi, as the captain of the team, stood up to explain.

However, judging from his explanation, the contradiction has not been alleviated and the problem has not been resolved at all.

Zhou Yi had no intention of easing the relationship between Chinese media.

At first glance, these things seem to be completely incompatible with Brazil, so there is no need for Brazil's media to pay attention. If the opponent in Brazil's semi-finals is not the Chinese team, they really won't care.

However, as an opponent in the semi-finals, the Brazilian media believes that this incident will definitely have an impact on the Chinese team. Moreover, this impact is hardly "positive". Under the influence of this incident, the Chinese team's preparation work and the players' mentality will change, and this change will affect their performance in the game.

This is definitely a good thing for Brazil. Although the Brazilian media are 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 at will.

Now they are facing difficulties and troubles, which is definitely good news for Brazil.

With this analysis, there is no suspense about the Brazilian Olympic team entering the final. No matter whether they meet Mexico or Japan in the final, they are confident of defeating their opponents and winning the first men's football gold medal in Brazil's Olympic history.

For Brazil, known as the "kingdom of football", it has never won the Olympic championship in their most powerful men's football event, which is indeed a very disgraceful history. Not to mention the Brazilians themselves, many foreigners may find it difficult to understand why the Brazilian Olympic team, which has so many talented players, cannot win an Olympic men's football gold medal?

You know, they have won the World Cup, the highest honor for the adult men's football team five times.

To say that the Olympics is a youth football match under the age of 23, Brazil has won five championships in the history of the U20 World Youth Championship at a younger age, which fully proves the level of Brazilian football in all age groups.

But in the Olympics, they just find it difficult to win a gold medal.

Since the Brazilian men's football team first participated in the Olympics in 1952, the Brazilian men's football team has never won the Olympic gold medal in the past sixty years.

Before 1984, professional football players were not allowed to participate in the Olympics, so Brazil could not send the strongest lineup composed of players like Pele and Galincha to participate in the Olympics. It could only form the national Olympic team with second-rate players in China. Of course, there was a big gap between the teams sent out the strongest lineup in Eastern Europe.

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 national Olympic team was eliminated in the group stage. The Brazilian national Olympic team scored the top four in the Olympics for the first time in the history of the 1976 Olympics, but in the end, they didn't even get a medal and only won the fourth place...

By 1984, professional players were finally allowed to participate in the Olympics. This time, Brazil was so excited that it wanted to show the strength of their football kingdom on the Olympic stage, so they reached the final and approached the gold medal for the first time. But unfortunately they met a stronger French team. The French team at that time had the "midfield iron triangle" combination of Platini, Gileser and Tigana. They had just won the European Cup that year. In the final, the Brazilian Olympic team lost to France 0:2 and missed the gold medal.

At the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the Brazilian national Olympic team had famous players such as Romario, Bebeto, and Tafarell, and reached the Olympic finals again. However, they fought hard with the Soviet team for 120 minutes and lost 1:2, losing the gold medal again.

After 1992, Olympic football underwent a major change, that is, Olympic football is no longer an international A-level event, but has become a competition for players under the age of 23. Players participating in the Olympics must be players under the age of 23, which blocks most mature and high-level professional players from the Olympics. This is the result of a dispute over interests between FIFA and the International Olympic Committee.
