That night, the most eye-catching news in sports news was not the announcement of the establishment of the Chinese sports delegation, but Zhou Yi mentioned in an interview that the goal of the National Olympic Team was the champion.

It was so fantastic when I heard this. Of course, Sports News gave a reasonable explanation. This is a means of self-motivation by Zhou Yi. This only shows that he is very confident in the next Olympics, and does not mean that he is really going to win the championship.

This explanation made many people relax. The world is still normal...

But despite this, some people still think Zhou Yi’s statement is really crazy. Because if you really want to motivate yourself, can you motivate yourself by entering the knockout stage and entering the semi-finals?

Why is it the champion?

Some netizens made a long discussion on the Internet about Zhou Yi's analysis, probably not self-motivation, but that's what he really thinks. He just wants to win the championship, and his goal is really the Olympic gold medal.

He inferred from what Zhou Yi said and did in the past that Zhou Yi is not a person who can only speak beautiful words.

So this is very likely to be Zhou Yi’s voice.

But if this is Zhou Yi’s voice, the question arises again. Why does Zhou Yi think that the Chinese national Olympic team can win the Olympic gold medal?

You should know that even major gambling companies in the world are not optimistic about them at all. The Chinese Olympic team is not a popular favorite to win gold at the Olympics.

This is a question that people can't figure it out.

Zhou Yi’s arrogant and arrogant explanation may be the only reasonable explanation.

But... this is not the kind of arrogant and arrogant person who is always in front of the public...

This incident made many Zhou Yi fans confused and painful. They didn't know why Zhou Yi said that, but they were unwilling to think that their idol said the wrong thing.

While everyone was surprised by Zhou Yi's sudden ambition, Zhou Yi was interviewing him in the room of head coach Brazevic.

Without Jiang Xiaojun, the translator of the National Olympic Team, there were only two people, Zhou Yi and Brazevic.

They communicate directly in German, and communication is not a problem.

This was not a casual chat in a casual manner. Brazevic looked at Zhou Yi with a serious face. He had just asked a question as serious as his expression.

He asked Zhou Yi whether what he said in an interview with a reporter at the Great Hall of the People today was a joke, self-motivation, or something else.

After having dinner at Xiangshan training base, Zhou Yi was called to his room by Brazevic.

Facing the head coach of the National Olympic Team, Zhou Yi said with the faint smile he used to be, "Because I really want to win the championship, sir."

After hearing Zhou Yi's answer, Brazevic's serious expression did not fade, but continued to stare at Zhou Yi and ask: "But do you know how difficult this is?"

"Of course, I know, sir." Zhou Yi nodded.

"Then why do you say that?"

"Any championship is difficult, there is no easy championship. But you can't stop fighting just because it's difficult to win a championship, right?" Zhou Yi spread his hands. "Besides, I think it's still lower to win the Olympic gold medal in our team than to win the World Cup championship?"

Speaking of this, he started laughing.

Brazevic still didn't laugh, but stared at him seriously: "Then why do you think we have the possibility of winning the championship? No matter what the chance is."

"Then I'll tell you my own opinion."

Brazevic nodded and signaled him to continue.

So Zhou Yi began to talk about the four seed teams, and analyzed the advantages and weaknesses of these teams one by one.

The host British team is the first team to be sentenced to death by Zhou Yi. Although they are very strong on paper, there are three super-age stars joining each other, and they are all strong. However, the joint teaming method between Wales and England has caused this team to lose an important factor in winning from the beginning, that is, tacit understanding. England has never played with Wales before. Their players may be able to make teammates in the club, but the national team level is different from the club level. Moreover, the appearance between Wales and England players will also affect the team's performance on the court. Zhou Yi boldly predicts that this team will have good results even if it can enter the knockout stage. As for the high expectations of the British media for this team, Zhou Yi believes that there is no reference value at all, because the whole world knows that the British media likes to tell lies and big talk the most.

The Spanish national team, which just won the gold medal in the European Championship, is in their golden age, dominating the entire world football world, and many teams follow them. But this does not mean that the Spanish national Olympic team also has such dominance. On the contrary, the Spanish national Olympic team is not as strong as people imagine. Although they have players like Mata, Javier Martinez, Alba, Troy, Thiago, and De Gea who are the main players or substitutes in their respective clubs, they do not pay attention to the Olympics.

Enough will be their fatal weakness. Many of these players are players who have already played the main players in the club. After a season, they are generally tired. In addition, the Olympics are not attractive to European teams, and these professional players will not take the Olympics seriously. Not paying enough attention to the Olympics will lead to problems in their preparations. When the game is reached, it is definitely not impossible to perform well and have a low state. Therefore, after this analysis, the Spanish Olympic team will not have much chance unless they pay attention from top to bottom.

Brazil has players of the age of Neymar, Ganso, Oscar, Lucas, and also has over-age players like Marcelo, Thiago Silva and Hulk. Its strength is also very good and is considered by the media to be the hottest favorites in the championship. However, in Zhou Yi's opinion, this team also has many problems. In addition to those similar to Spain, there are many geniuses but they may not be able to be combined into a team. Brazilian players are used to fighting on their own, and the Olympic curse has also put them on a heavy burden. If they want to win the championship, they have to defeat not only their opponents on the court, but also their own demons.

Mexico is also one of the seed teams of this Olympics and is divided into the same group with the Chinese team. Mexico has good overall strength and outstanding individuals. At the same time, for these countries, they pay more attention to competitions like the Olympics, because they may find it difficult to get involved in World Cup champions, but Olympic champions are relatively practical. If they work hard, they can still become world champions.

In Zhou Yi's opinion, Mexico is likely to be a strong rival that the Chinese team encountered in the Olympic championship.

As for Japan and South Korea, two Asian opponents, Zhou Yi believes that in terms of team strength, the Chinese team is not weaker than them, and they may not lose if they really encounter it.

After analyzing all these opponents who have the strength to compete for medals, Brazevic asked him: "What about the advantages of the Chinese team? According to what you just said, there are also some players in our team who have participated in the European League abroad. Are you not tired?"

"Of course we are tired, but we will pay more attention to this competition than they do." Zhou Yi said. "We are not going to participate in the Olympics to 'focus on participating'. We are serious about winning the gold medal."

Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Brazevic shook his head and said, "You are serious, and I believe it too. But football games are not something you can win if you want."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Yes, I know. So you need sir, to train and formulate tactics."

"Of course, this is my job." Brazevic nodded. "Study your opponents, develop tactics and training arrangements. These are my jobs. But what makes me wonder is that these are not your jobs, why do you know so much about our opponents?"

"If you want a gold medal, don't you know more about your opponent?" Zhou Yi said. "Sun Tzu's Art of War says that knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Understanding your opponent is the first step to victory."

A smile finally appeared on Brazevic's face that had been tense.

Zhou Yi saw the head coach's smile and knew that the coach must think he was a very ambitious player. Although he was indeed quite ambitious, he knew so much about these opponents because he could already play in the Olympics in the virtual space. This is a concept similar to a dungeon. He can see the data status of each player of his opponent in advance and fight with them in advance. It's like playing a game, playing a complete Olympics.

Zhou Yi has fought against opponents he may encounter in the virtual space many times. For these teams, he is of course very clear about their advantages and weaknesses.

When Zhou Yi finally left Brazevic's room and returned to his and He Ying's room, Sun Pan, Yang Muge and Guo Nu both came and asked him what the head coach had said to him alone.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "You must be mentally prepared. The next training will be more difficult than before!"

"Damn, what did you say to Lao Bu?" Sun Pan said angrily.

"Do you want to win the gold medal? Panpan?" Zhou Yi asked him.

"Of course I want to!" Sun Pan answered quickly.
