When the referee blew the whistle of the end of the game, it meant that Guangzhou Hengyuan missed the final of the Club World Cup, and they could only compete for the third place.

This result is not surprising. Although it is a bit disappointing, the players in Guangzhou Hengyuan quickly returned to normal.

The strength is too different, and they have tried their best in the game. There is nothing to regret when facing such a result.

Everyone wants to win, but there is only one winner, what should I do?

Be calm and be more at ease. Losing a game is not the end of the world, and life must continue.

At this time, I would like to think about how to play the third and fourth place finals of the Club World Cup in the end, right?

Only the captain Zheng Zhi's expression did not improve at all. He seemed to be still worried about losing the game.

But at this moment, Zhou Yi took the initiative to find him: "Change a jersey?"

Zheng Zhi was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Zhou Yi would come to him to exchange jerseys.

However, after he realized it, he did not refuse, but took off his jersey and handed it to Zhou Yi.

He didn't know why Zhou Yi asked him to exchange jerseys, but it didn't matter.

After Zhou Yi and Zheng Zhi exchanged jerseys, they didn't say much. The two of them slapped each other and separated.

There was no unnecessary communication throughout the whole process.

However, this scene has fallen into the camera lens and has also reached the eyes of the fans in front of the TV.

For foreign fans, this scene is normal. But for Chinese fans, this scene cannot help but make them think a lot.

Zhou Yi actually took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Zheng Zhi after the game?

Anyone who is familiar with Zhou Yi knows that he is not a person who likes to exchange jerseys with others. He has only a handful of times he takes the initiative to exchange jerseys. This may happen when he competes with his good friends.

And now he actually went to find Zheng Zhi to exchange his jerseys?

Say he was on a whim?

Absolutely no one believes it.

There must be deeper reasons and intentions here.

What is the intention?

Generally speaking, swapping jerseys is a very common social activity after the game. For example, finding idol players to exchange jerseys, which is half the practice of fans expressing their admiration for their idols. This is also one of the most important reasons for the swapping jersey event. I think two Leverkusen players fought for a Messi jersey, which became a laughing stock.

However, this way of exchanging jerseys is always the way fans actively ask their idols to exchange jerseys.

Another reason for exchanging jerseys is that two people cherish heroes, appreciate each other, and appreciate each other, so they exchange jerseys after the game. This situation usually occurs between players who have been famous in football for a long time and have a certain status and achievements. For example, Zidane exchanged jerseys with Villarreal's main midfielder Riquelme in his last game of retirement at Real Madrid.

In any case, exchanging jerseys is a way to show kindness and respect.

Of course, some people refuse to exchange jerseys, so they are mostly in a bad mood.

Zhou Yi took the initiative to ask Zheng Zhi to exchange jerseys. What does it mean?

Of course he wouldn't be a fan of Zheng Zhi and wanted to collect his idol's jerseys.

That should be the second possibility, two people appreciate each other?

In this way, Zhou Yi sent a signal that there was no conflict between him and Zheng Zhi, which made the rumors self-defeated.

This is a very clever way. There is no need to say too much or face the entanglement of reporters. It solves the problem by just paying the price of a jersey.

Sure enough, after seeing this scene, Chinese fans expressed their opinions on this matter online.

"No matter how private relationships between the two of them are, at least they can do this in front of audiences all over the world, so there will be no conflicts in the future, right?"

"Even if it's face-saving skills, I think it's valuable. Many times, unity is maintained by superficial skills. We cannot ask everyone to be a good friend. No one can control what they think in their hearts. As long as it's not public, it's fine. I think Zhou Yi's approach is quite smart."

"Now the facts prove that there is no conflict between Zhou Yi and Zheng Zhi. Can you stop giving the blame to our Zhou Yi again if Zheng Zhi can't join the national team?"

"I just think this is Zhou Yi's problem for Gao Hongbo - you see, Zheng Zhi and I are really nothing, so why don't you recruit Zheng Zhi or not?"

...

Zheng Zhi looked down at Zhou Yi's jersey in his hand, and then turned around to look for Zhou Yi in the crowd. He had put on Hengyuan's red jersey and walked into the Dortmund crowd. They were celebrating the victory of the game.

He lowered his head and continued to look at the jersey in his hand. The yellow and black Dortmund jersey was printed with Zhou Yi's number and name on the back, and the front was Dortmund's team logo.

This is the team logo of European giants.

He has also played football in Europe, but he is far from the giants.

Zhou Yi, who was eighteen years old, made his mark in the Bundesliga, won the first league championship in his life at the age of nineteen, and won the Champions League again at the age of twenty-two, and won the title as the absolute core of the main force.

Sometimes when I think about it, I really envy, jealous and hate...

How can the talent gap between people be so big?

Now he knows why Zhou Yi came to him to exchange jerseys.

Don’t you want others to say that he has many conflicts with him?

Zheng Zhi smiled.

What conflicts can you have with him?

Such a huge gap is here, how can there be conflicts?

The two of them are not people from the same world at all, and there is no possibility of intersection at all. Where does the contradiction come from?

When Zhou Yi first joined the national team, there were still some "noises" in the national team, but they calmed those noises in just one game, and the ability they showed was completely convinced.

Ordinary people can compete with each other, but how can they compete with a peerless genius?

It's ridiculous...

He shook his head, put the jersey he exchanged from Zhou Yi on his shoulders, and then walked towards his teammates.

As the captain, he needs to comfort his teammates.

After the semi-finals with Hengyuan, the next game will be the final. The final will be on the night of December 21st.

There are three days left before now.

Compared to them, their final opponents are a little unlucky - another semi-final will be held tomorrow night, which means that the team that entered the final will have a day off than Dortmund, which is a big test for physical fitness.

The next night, another semi-finals began.

The Moroccan team from the hosts Casablanca Raja vs. Athletic Minero, champion of the Liberators Copa Liberta.

This game is logically unsurprising. South American champion Minero is definitely stronger than Raja.

Other teams can come to participate in the Club World Cup because they are champions on all continents. Only Casablanca Raja was able to participate because of their host status.

In the end, the winner will definitely be the champion in South America. Although the Toyota Cup was replaced by the Club World Cup, increasing the number of participating teams, it is ultimately a match between European champions and South America champions for the world championship. It’s just that the number of games has increased. We always have to give teams in underdeveloped football some chance to show their faces...

So African champions, Asian champions, Oceania champions, Central and North American champions are all here to make up for the numbers, let alone a host who is not an international champion.

The leader of Atletico Minero is the famous Ronaldinho, so it should be no problem to win the host.

But the actual result of the game was surprising - the first goal in the game was Casablanca Raja.

Ronaldinho then scored a direct free kick and equalized the score.

The 1:1 score between the two sides remained until the 84th minute, and then the home team received a controversial penalty.

With this penalty kick, the host completed the overtake.

At this time, it was only a few minutes before the end of the game. The behind Atletico Minero launched a counterattack - they didn't want to be eliminated in the semi-finals. They came to compete for the championship with Dortmund, and other teams were not taken seriously by them. If they lost now, how embarrassing?

As a result, the host Raja team used Atletico Minero to equalize the score and put up a big push. The gap behind him used the counterattack to expand the score again.

Now, even Ronaldinho is unable to make the situation come true...

Host Casablanca Raja defeated the South American champion team so unexpectedly and became Dortmund's opponent in the Club World Cup final...
