Chapter 59 Gifts to the Watchers
Accompanied by the referee's whistle and He Ping's roar, the singing instantly turned into deafening cheers. Everyone was cheering and jumping up and hugging each other. No matter whether they knew each other or not, they were extremely forgot about it at this moment. √
"We won!!" I don't know how many people shouted this sentence.
"Long live! Long live the Chinese team! Long live China!" someone took the lead and shouted, and then more people followed.
All over the country, it has become a sea of joy.
The center of this ocean is at the New Wembley Stadium, thousands of miles away.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, all the Chinese Olympic team substitutes and coaches waiting outside the court rushed into the stadium.
The players of the National Olympic Team on the court also cheered.
Everyone can't wait to vent their emotions.
Since they defeated the Korean team, they suppressed a burning flame in their hearts. Even if they were happy, they could not show it because the game was not over yet.
Now, after this game, there is no more semi-finals. They can vent all the emotions they have been suppressing before and celebrate their lives.
Yang Muge next to Zhou Yi was excited to hug Zhou Yi at the first time, which showed his excitement.
"Congratulations to the Chinese team! They won the Olympic gold medal! This is the first football gold medal in their history!" said Mark Laurenson. "For Chinese football, this is an amazing achievement!"
After hugging Jiang Xiaojun, Guo Bing looked at the cheering players of the Chinese National Olympic Team from the sidelines.
Those young faces were filled with vivid smiles. Some of them were once members of the National Olympic Team that were called the most failed, and some were considered to be difficult to discipline football gangsters, but now they are all heroes of Chinese football.
He thought of Zhou Yi patting his chest and assured him that he would definitely win a gold medal to satisfy the delegation leaders.
He does what he says.
The leaders of the delegation may be glad that they did not continue to be entangled with the fact that they had to punish Sun Pan.
If things had continued to follow the tradition of Chinese football at that time, he might not have seen this scene in his life.
Fortunately, it's okay.
Now he is also the leader of this hero group, which will be the most beautiful part in his personal professional resume.

After the game, the excited Chinese players were also entangled by reporters and wanted to be interviewed.
Sun Pan, who was standing in front of Chinese reporters, was still very excited and couldn't help but howl, which made the female reporter interviewed with the team cover her mouth and laugh. Then she stretched out her microphone and asked: "Sun Pan, your performance in this game is very good, and the three consecutive pounces made people even more amazing. Can you tell me what you thought at that time?"
The happy Sun Pan opened his mouth and said, "I had only one idea at that time, and I must not let Xiaori...uh..."
He suddenly remembered the ban order Zhou Yi told him. Now that he has won the championship, everyone is very happy, and no one seems to stop him from accepting the interview, but if he says the wrong thing again...
So he quickly braked suddenly. However, because the brakes were too fierce, his mind had not yet reacted for a while. He didn't know how to keep this sentence round, so he could only stutter:
"Uh, this...is...is absolutely. They must not score again!"
Finally finished speaking, Sun Pan felt a layer of sweat on his back.
Then he waved his hand and stopped accepting interviews, for fear that he would say something wrong again.
With his personality, he doesn't care about being scolded and punished, but he is worried that his mouth will soon cause trouble to Zhou Yi, so how can he always let him wipe his butt?
Sun Pan ran away, and the reporter was not in a hurry because someone from a bigger brand came.
Zhou Yi is here.
The female reporter who was interviewing with the team took the initiative to open his arms and make a request: "Zhou Yi, can I hug you?"
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "No problem, I'm single anyway."
The reporter smiled happily, then stepped forward and hugged Zhou Yi.
The two separated immediately, and then the reporter began to perform their duties. She held the microphone and said to Zhou Yi: "Thank you really, thank you, Zhou Yi! You have written history for Chinese football! This is the first World Championship champion in the history of Chinese football!"
"I'm also very happy that we can achieve this honor." Zhou Yi replied. "I'm very happy to be able to contribute such a championship to Chinese fans."
"Well, before the Olympics, you said that your goal of this Olympics is gold medal, but now you have achieved this goal. So why did you have the confidence to win the gold medal at the beginning? In fact, few people were optimistic about the strength of the Chinese Olympic team that they could do in the Olympics..."
"Of course, of course, in the eyes of many people, our strength is not strong, and the Chinese team is simply synonymous with failure. Whenever we meet any opponent, we are afraid of losing. But if I want to say that we are afraid of losing, we are afraid of losing, and what are we doing in the Olympics?" Zhou Yi said. "So I think there is only one idea that since we are coming to the Olympics, don't be afraid, just do it! Facts have proved that as long as we are not afraid, no one can stop us!"
In the end, Zhou Yi's words sounded a bit rough, so the female reporter used a round way to explain Zhou Yi's words: "Is it the brave who meets on a narrow road that wins?"
"Yes, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road! If football is a game where the strong always win, how boring? Football is round and there are countless possibilities. As long as you don't give up, you can realize your ideal." Zhou Yi nodded.
"Finally, do you have anything to say to the audience and fans in front of our TV?"
"Thank you for sticking to and never leaving you in the most difficult years, so this championship is what you deserve. The Olympics are just the starting point. Next, we will work hard to reach the finals of the Brazilian World Cup. I hope that you can hear everyone's singing in the Brazilian arena at that time. Thank you and pay tribute to you!"
After saying goodbye to Zhou Yi, the female reporter who often appears in news about the national football team faced the camera, held the microphone, and said with tears in her eyes: "Zhou Yi said it very well. In the darkest time of Chinese football, how many people who were traveling with him had no choice but to give up? How many people looked disdainful when they talked about 'Chinese football'? But thanks to those who did not give up on Chinese football, whether players or fans, they finally waited for the day when the clouds cleared and the fog disappeared. Borrowing Zhou Yi's meaning to make knots is the best gift to the watchers of Chinese football. Thank you, every vivid face in front of the TV!"

The award ceremony is the last **.
Mexico, who won the third place yesterday, also came to the stadium and they will be on the podium for third place.
The first one to receive the prize was the third place, and then the runner-up winner, the Japanese team, also made it to the podium. Some people had come back from the defeat and smiled on their faces.
In fact, apart from not winning the championship, they have also created the history of their own national football. The Olympic silver medal is the best result of Japanese adult men's football in the world competition.
This is also worthy of pride and pride.
After the Japanese team won the silver medal, it was the Chinese team's turn to take the podium.
"A historic moment is coming!" He Ping said excitedly. "We will witness Chinese football on the spot... reaching the peak for the first time!"
The Chinese team players have returned to the locker room to change into the award-winning uniforms dedicated to the Chinese Olympic sports delegation. When worn, the color scheme looks like scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which have been criticized by many people.
But at this moment, everyone said online: "It's really good to watch scrambled eggs with tomatoes now!"
This is the effect of the championship halo bonus...
The Chinese team players did not directly climb to the podium, but everyone stood under the podium. Then Sun Pan opened his hand and made a blocking gesture. He was shouting: "I count to three, let's jump on it together!"
It got everyone's approval.
So he bent down, bent his knees and started shouting: "One, two, two.5!"
Everyone thought it was time to count on three, but a two-point five appeared... Someone wanted to jump...
Seeing that he had successfully teased everyone, Sun Pan smiled proudly.
But just when he was proud, Zhou Yi suddenly shouted: "Three!"
This time, everyone jumped onto the championship podium in an orderly manner, except for Sun Pan...
He was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had been fooled by Zhou Yi, so he hurriedly jumped up and stared at Zhou Yi: "This time it won't count, start over!"
"Damn! Do you still give in? I'll reward you!" Guo said angrily.
"That's right, don't make trouble!" He Ying also stood opposite Sun Pan.
The others stopped listening to Sun Pan, and Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Panpan, this is called "Panpan, those who have attained enlightenment have more help, while those who have lost their enlightenment have few help."
Sun Pan was about to refute Zhou Yi, but he didn't expect Zhou Yi to take out the captain's authority: "Okay, stop making trouble, be serious, here is the award presentation! Do you want a gold medal?"
Faced with such shameless and ignorant Zhou Yi, Sun Pan had no choice but to roll his eyes...
The most exciting moment for the players finally came, and gold medals were hung around the players' necks.
All of them are the writers of this legend, and their names will be recorded in history forever.
As the captain, Zhou Yi was the last one to receive a gold medal.
After the gold medal is hung, all the players stand solemnly, facing the flagpole.
The last item of the award ceremony is to be held, the most solemn item, and the most meaningful item.
Raise the national flag and play the national anthem!
The first time the Volunteer March was played at the award ceremony for the men's football final of the Olympic Games.
The Chinese Olympic team players who were still having fun and jokes before were all facing the national flag at this moment, singing along with the music of the national anthem.
Zhou Yi was also among them. He put his hands on his chest and felt the beating there was force and clear. (To be continued.)8
