Chapter 42: Kagawa's Advice

Zhou Yi did not continue to argue with Caijing.com online, but there were still reporters coming to ask Zhou Yi about the grudges between him and Caijing.com.

Zhou Yi was unwilling to answer this because it was a question that had nothing to do with football or the finals.

He just said, "Don't ask me about such questions about idle people in the future. Our time is very precious, right? Wasting time on idle people is too unpaid. I don't have time if you have time, I'm sorry, I'm very busy."

So after "salted fish", Finance Network gained the title of "issue people, etc.".

This reaction is online, and everyone reposts and comments on "Idle people, etc." under the Weibo of Finance Network.

The editor of Finance Network must be very unhappy, but he can't fight back. No matter how unwilling he is, he can only hold it in his heart...

At the same time, deep down, they definitely hope that the Chinese Olympic team will lose to Japan in the finals, because only failure on the football field can give Zhou Yi the heaviest and most fatal blow. Finance Network figured it out that a player's life is on the court. The reason why Zhou Yi has the confidence to challenge him is related to his achievements on the court.

But if there is no result, he is just a piece of ****. This has been proven countless times by Chinese football before. As long as a Chinese player is a little controversial, it will definitely be more criticized than praise. Because Chinese football naturally has a negative image, Chinese players naturally cannot escape the relationship.

So people like Finance Network who are unhappy with Zhou Yi and the National Olympic Team can only expect the National Olympic Team to lose the game in the final.

But in fact, for more people who support the National Olympic Team, they are already winners if they can reach the finals. Even if they lose the game in the end, it is a very happy thing to win a gold medal.

If someone wants to blacklist the National Olympic Team from the results, it will be difficult to gain a foothold.

The Chinese national Olympic team's opponent in the finals is the Japanese national Olympic team.

These two teams finally reached the final, which was somewhat surprising.

Before the Olympics began, everyone thought that Brazil and Spain met in the final, but the Spanish group stage was eliminated and Brazil stopped in the semi-finals.

The Japanese team seemed very excited to learn that their opponent in the final was the Chinese team.

"...The Chinese team is a powerful team. We will do our best in the finals because we have the awareness of winning gold!" Japanese player Yuki Otsu said when facing Japanese reporters. "We will not give up easily! If the Chinese team thinks they can beat us easily, then we are ready to teach them a lesson!"

Unlike the Chinese team's low-key team, the Japanese team seems much more high-profile. Yuki Otsu's words were translated by Chinese media and sent back to China, which also aroused various sarcasm from Chinese fans.

But there is a reason why Japanese players say this, because they are in the position of challengers, so of course they have to say some bold words to boost their courage.

For those who have not paid attention to Chinese football for a long time, if they watched the national Olympic team again from this Olympic Games, they would definitely be surprised, because from the paper, the strength of the Chinese Olympic team has actually surpassed the Japanese team. This can be seen from the championship odds given by Western gambling companies for the two teams. The Chinese team is ahead of Japan.

This is mainly reflected in the five outstanding overseas players of the Chinese National Olympic Team.

They all performed well in this Olympics and were the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's ability to reach the finals.

Especially Zhou Yi, He Ying and Sun Pan, they are very important to the National Olympic Team.

On the other hand, although there are as many as six overseas players on the Japanese Olympic team, one more than the Chinese team, it is not as good as in terms of quality.

Zhou Yi is the core of Dortmund's midfield and led the team to win the league championship for two consecutive seasons. Sun Pan is the main goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid, helping the team win the UEFA Cup championship, He Ying is the best scorer in the team, helping the team to qualify for the La Liga, and won the silver boots for the Spanish Second Division. Only Yang Muge and Guo Nu's achievements are relatively poor, but they are also absolute main players in their respective clubs.

What about Japan?

Six overseas players, defender Ma Yoshida plays for Venlo in the Dutch League, Hiroki Sakai plays for Hannover 96, Miki Usa plays for Hoffenheim, Gaude Sakai plays for Stuttgart, Hirotsuki Kiyoshi plays for Nuremberg, Yuki Otsu plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The teams played for these players are not comparable to those played by Zhou Yi, Sun Pan and Yang Muge. They are not all the main players in their respective clubs, let alone the core players.

In fact, for the Japanese team, they should be very clear about the excellence of Zhou Yi and Yang Muge, because most of them play in the Bundesliga, and they are naturally impressed by Zhou Yi's brilliant performance in the Bundesliga.

So when they meet Zhou Yi, they are actually in a weak position. If they don’t find ways to boost their morale, it will be even more difficult to play in this game.

What makes the Japanese media most depressed is that Zhou Yi’s words came true!

At that time, when the Japanese team played a group match and defeated Spain 1:0, Yuki Otsu said a bold statement for the gold medal. Zhou Yi responded that the Japanese team wanted to win the championship and had to pass the Chinese team first.

At that time, everyone analyzed that if the Chinese team and the Japanese team wanted to meet, it would definitely be the final. Everyone felt that the chance of the Chinese team and the Japanese team meeting in the final was too low. There was never an Asian team in history that could reach the Olympic finals, let alone two.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi really made the mistake! The only chance that the Chinese team and the Japanese team could meet was realized!

After the Chinese team defeated Brazil and became the final opponent of the Japanese team, a Japanese reporter went to interview Shinji Kagawa and asked him to give advice for the Japanese Olympic team, because he and Zhou Yi have been teammates for two seasons and he knows Zhou Yi the best.

Shinji Kagawa said everything he knew and told Japanese reporters everything he learned about Zhou Yi.

But the Japanese reporter became more and more frightened as he listened: "San Kagawa, why do you hear me? Is Zhou Yi difficult to defeat? Is he as powerful as you said?"

Shinji Kagawa rolled his eyes with the phone, but he still tried to explain clearly: "I'm just telling the truth without exaggerating at all. This is what I saw Zhou Sang, but he is so powerful, otherwise why did he become the core of Dortmund, not others?"

This reminded Japanese reporters that when Shinji Kagawa just joined Dortmund, Zhou Yi moved backwards, turning from a front midfielder to a back midfielder, and giving up the front midfielder to Shinji Kagawa. At that time, some media in Japan believed that this was the sign that Klopp handed over the team's core responsibilities to Shinji Kagawa, and Shinji Kagawa would take over the core position from Zhou Yi.

What's the result?

Zhou Yi, who retreated from the position, was still the core of Dortmundrae's unstoppable, and Shinji Kagawa could only provide him with support.

The reporter who came to his senses said to Shinji Kagawa with some embarrassment: "But Kagawa San, we can't publish what you said, as that will probably reduce our morale..."

Shinji Kagawa also realized this. He thought about it for a moment. When he thought of the game between Dortmund and Schalke 04, Zhou Yi was restricted under Yang Muge's close control. Although Dortmund won the game in the end, Yang Muge's constant defense against Zhou Yi still left a very deep impression on Shinji Kagawa.

So he said: "Zhou Sang is not completely without weaknesses. If we can defend him tightly, no matter where he goes, people will follow him... What I said is the real "in-one step" and the distance between passionate love and love. I think it should bring some trouble to the offensive organization of the Chinese team. But this is just to make the Chinese team's offensive trouble. If you want to score a goal, you still have to face Sun Pan, who was the best goalkeeper in the League Cup last season."

"It's okay, I think what you said is good enough!" The reporter was very happy because Shinji Kagawa really came up with a solution. Although he didn't know how to implement this method in detail, he at least provided an idea.

Just as the reporter thanked Shinji Kagawa and wanted to hang up the phone, Shinji Kagawa stopped him: "Wait... are you planning to publish everything I said publicly?"

"Yes, Kagawa San..."

"Then I suggest you don't do this," said Shinji Kagawa.

"Huh, why?" The reporter was in trouble.

"You published it publicly, hoping to tell the Chinese people how we can deal with their core?"

"Ah, this..." The reporter suddenly realized that he had never thought of this before.

"I suggest you contact the head coach of the National Olympic Team, Takasan Kanzuka, and pass on my words to him. I think this may be of some real help to the National Olympic Team." Shinji Kagawa said at the end.

"This... we will seriously consider Kagawa San's opinion!"

"No, don't think about it, just ask me what I said. What's the big deal about sacrificing a little sales for the first Olympic champion in Japanese football history?"

Shinji Kagawa's sudden momentum finally overwhelmed the other party, and the other party promised to do what Shinji Kagawa said on the phone.

He did not publish what he said, but directly transferred it to the head coach of the National Olympic Team.

As a reporter interviewing with the team, there must be such channels.

After hanging up the phone, Shinji Kagawa remembered what Zhou Yi said to the Japanese Olympic team at that time.

He knew that Zhou Yi must have wanted to take revenge on the Olympics.

But no matter how good his relationship with Zhou Yi is, it is a national dispute at this time, and he will definitely stand on this side of his country without hesitation.

He doesn't want Zhou Yi to succeed in revenge.

It may be difficult for him to surpass Zhou Yi personally, but his country still has great opportunities.

Sorry, Zhou Sang.
