Chapter 27 Do You Like Failure?
"Damn it! There's a camera! It's over, my image!"
Sun Pan put his head in his hands and howled in a low voice. It seems that his emotions have recovered from the disastrous defeat. This may be due to Zhou Yi's comfort at the beginning. Of course, it is also very likely that Sun Pan himself is relatively inferior, and it will not be too long to be depressed. In a sense, this is a character advantage.
During dinner, Sun Pan, Zhou Yi, Yang Muge, and Guo Nu sat at a table—Guo Nu was naturally warmly invited by Zhou Yi, and then sat beside them to eat together under Sun Pan's glaring eyes. But he was silent throughout the whole process, just eating and not participating in the discussion of the other three.
"You still have an image?" Zhou Yi was shocked.
"What's your expression?" Sun Pan was very dissatisfied. "Why have I lost my image? I am tall and mighty! I am a chivalrous man! I..."
Seeing that everyone bowed their heads to eat, and no one paid attention to him, he also felt bored, so he rolled his eyes and thought of another topic: "Old Zhou, let me ask you, that Liang Qiqi spoke so badly at that time, how could you bear it?" Come down? You apologized to him and explained what you said... What are you doing with that idiot?"
Although everyone is teammates, they come from all over the world, have different backgrounds and experiences, and have different tempers and temperaments. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to have a good relationship. Zhou Yi has a good relationship with Sun Pan and Yang Muge, but his relationship with other people is not so good.
Others naturally have different networks of relationships.
For example, Guo Nu and Liang Qiqi are enemies, because on the first day of joining the team, Liang Qiqi laughed at Guo Nu's stuttering and appearance, and then was beaten up by Guo Nu.
But Sun Pan simply can't understand Liang Qiqi's displeasure - there is no hatred between them, but Sun Pan just can't understand Liang Qiqi, how he behaves in the world, and how he behaves in the team. Showing off in a high-profile manner, it seems that under no circumstances, he is the biggest name on the team.
Liang Qiqi is really good at technique, and his movements are real, but Sun Pan has a sharp evaluation of him-"embroidered pillow". Defensively, his physical confrontation ability is very poor, and his ability to handle the ball in confrontation situations is also very weak. So Sun Pan looked down on him, thinking that he is just a flashy player who only knows how to show off his skills but is useless, and he is also pretentious, which is simply ridiculous.
Sun Pan is also unhappy with He Ying, but that displeasure stems more from a kind of jealousy, although Sun Pan himself will never admit that he is jealous of He Ying.
And his displeasure with Liang Qiqi stems from his disdain.
"Hey, isn't there a camera here? I always have to pay attention to my image in front of hundreds of millions of domestic TV viewers." Zhou Yi said.
"You still have an image?" Sun Pan finally waited until the time to fight back, he also pretended to be surprised.
"Why not? I said, Sun Pan, once this program airs, we will all be public figures. Maybe some pretty girls will stop you when you walk on the street in the future, asking for your autograph, insisting on talking with you." You took a picture." Zhou Yi outlined a beautiful blueprint for the future for Sun Pan, and looking at Sun Pan's expression, he was obviously immersed in the beautiful world described by Zhou Yi.
Yang Muge's focus was not on being stopped by girls to sign a group photo, he asked Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, I listened to your explanation at the time, are you serious?"
"Of course it is, that's from my heart! I have a lot of experience in failure!"
Hearing what Zhou Yi said, Guo Nu, who kept his head buried in eating beside him, couldn't bear it anymore, and complained: "What's so proud of..."
For the first time, it was rare that Sun Pan and Guo Nu reached an agreement. He also rolled his eyes and said, "You are so proud of losing, and you still say you have image..."
But Yang Muge was obviously more interested in Zhou Yi's words, he asked: "Where did you accumulate so much failure experience?"
"dreaming.
" Zhou Yi answered with his head raised.
Guo Nu next to him heard this answer and couldn't help but sprayed the rice in his mouth onto his own plate with a puff, and at the same time a lot of it was sucked into the trachea, causing him to cough loudly.
And Sun Pan patted the dumbfounded Yang Muge on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Look, look! You are still serious about asking!"
Zhou Yi pouted.
What he said was the truth, but many people would not believe this truth.
Yes, who can believe that he has played against the La Masia Youth B team dozens of times in his sleep?

After dinner, the head coach Hao Dong met in the room of the chief director Xu Tao, and they wanted to discuss the program.
Because the loss in this game was really terrible, so we need to negotiate on the editing of the program. At the same time, Xu Tao also wants to make some requests to Hao Dong, to see if he can try not to lose the game so badly.
"...Of course I don't want the game to lose like this, but there is no way. This is the gap between us and European football, the real gap." Sitting on the sofa, Hao Dong spread his hands, his tone helpless. "This gap cannot be resolved by arranging one more training session every day. Even if you whip them, they will not become stronger immediately. This is the law of football, and it has to be done step by step."
"Then you say that, why do we need this show? It's too ugly." Xu Tao was not reconciled.
"Look at the video of the game, find more highlights of our players' performance, and finally talk about the score. Repeated defeats and repeated defeats." Hao Dong reminded.
Xu Tao fell into silence after listening to his words.
Repeated defeat sounds like the team is incompetent, but repeated defeat sounds like the team is indomitable after encountering setbacks. The latter sounds much better.
This is a way of thinking.
"Okay..." Xu Tao nodded.
"It's okay, then I'll go back to my room, and I have to study the information of the next opponent, Real Madrid's youth team..."
"Hey no, here's something I want you to see." After Xu Tao finished speaking, he opened a video file on the computer desktop.
Hao Dong leaned over to take a look...it turned out to be a picture of the team's locker room.
When Xu Tao discussed with himself whether the cameraman should also be allowed in the locker room, he said that the children would feel uncomfortable if the cameraman was there, but Xu Tao also hoped to have pictures in the locker room. This is a reality show after all. , not a real football game, so in the end the two sides decided not to use a cameraman, but to use a camera to automatically shoot inside. Although it is difficult to cover everything in this way, it can give people a feeling of "sneak shooting" and make the audience believe in young players. The authenticity of their performance in front of the camera lens.
Unexpectedly, they really captured a real "truth".
A real infighting.
Hao Dong knew nothing about what happened within the team. He was surprised and then a little angry, because this team had only lost one game, and the team actually started fighting among themselves!
It simply made him feel ashamed as the head coach.
So he asked, "Are you going to cut this into the show?"
Xu Tao nodded: "Why not? I think this passage is very interesting. This is the highest pursuit of a reality show—truth, absolute truth, not the 'truth' rehearsed by the director of the script."
"But this truth...is embarrassing."
"It depends on how you look at it. It's not very good to just look at the quarrel between the two sides. But if you focus on this child..." Xu Tao stretched out his finger and pointed to Zhou Yi who was talking on the screen.
He turned sideways to the camera and was explaining to Liang Qiqi: "...My meaning is actually very simple. Didn't Mr. Hao say it? More important than winning or losing a game is to have a champion's heart that always pursues victory. With this Heart, even if we encounter temporary setbacks and failures, the victory will eventually belong to us. So it is only the first game now..."
Hao Dong was a little surprised, he didn't expect that someone would actually understand the real purpose of his words before the match.
Yes, he knew that the game would be lost, and he also knew that he would lose badly, but how to let the players recover from the failure quickly? He vaccinated before the game, and he hoped that these young players would listen to this sentence.
But obviously, judging from the performance of those people after the game, it seems that only...Zhou Yi listened.
This kid...
Hao Dong not only thought of the finals of the audition, he also reminded the contestants to pay attention to teamwork before the game. What happened? Only Zhou Yi listened.
Although his current ability is the weakest among the sixteen members of the team, he is the best in understanding the head coach's intentions...
"We've got to make the audience look at the positive side of this loss, and I think it's better for the kid to come out and say it rather than us having someone say it. That's fine, anyway. This is also within our expectations." Xu Tao said.
"Okay..." After seeing Zhou Yi's performance, Hao Dong also nodded in agreement with chief director Xu Tao's plan. If Zhou Yi hadn't said something like this, he would definitely have had a serious fight with Xu Tao on this issue.

When Zhou Yi returned to the hotel room, He Ying was already in the room. He didn't go anywhere, and returned to the room after eating.
Zhou Yi noticed that he was not fascinated by the Catalan textbook in his hand today.
Presumably, the failure of this game has hit him hard enough to make him give up the idea of joining La Masia.
Although He Ying, as his roommate, didn't hear a few words with him in whispers, the two of them have always had their own lives in the room, and I even tricked him into signing to sell money... But anyway, As a roommate, Zhou Yi couldn't bear to see He Ying, who was usually so proud, suddenly look like this. He comforted him: "Then what..."
He Ying raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were calm.
"That... Actually, you don't need to take this game too seriously. According to the rules, don't we have to come back here in the end and fight them again? So..."
He Ying still looked at him with that look.
"...So, maybe we can win then?" Zhou Yi said.
The corner of He Ying's mouth twitched.
"hehe."
He sneered.
Zhou Yi also felt that his consolation was a failure. Any normal person would not believe that they would be able to go from a 12-goal defeat to defeating the La Masia Youth B team in two months, right?
This is so unbelievable, it doesn't sound like consolation, but more like irony...
"Okay..." Zhou Yi also knew that in front of He Ying, he would lose his words if he spoke too much.
So he went to wash, and then went to bed and lay down.
He can't wait to experience failure again in the virtual system.
If someone asked Zhou Yi if he fell in love with the feeling of failure after being numb, then Zhou Yi would definitely look at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and say:
"No, I don't like losing, but that's the price you have to pay for winning."
If you're put off by his airy tone, you're missing the golden truth.
If you want to be good at fighting, you must first learn to be beaten.

"Welcome, Zhou Yi." Chu Ling smiled and looked at Zhou Yi who appeared in front of her.
"Hello, Chu Ling. It's still the old rules, let's have a game first."
"Please choose your opponent." Chu Ling said.
"La Masia Youth Team B." Zhou Yi replied.
Chu Ling was a little surprised: "The match between you and this team is over, Zhou Yi. Your next opponent is the youth team of Real Madrid's youth training camp La Fabrica..."
She reminded Zhou Yi that he should change his opponent.
"No, I still have to play against this team." Zhou Yi shook his head.
"Why?" Chu Ling was curious.
"Because I haven't won yet!" Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said.
I hate failure, past, present and future, I hate failure. So you have won us so many times, but we haven't won once, how can we just let you go? This account can't just be settled like this!

PS, leader Jiageng, thank our old leader Tian Ruoshui—don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about old age, but seniority. It has been almost ten years since the deacon of "The Godfather of Champions", the deacon of "Legend of Champions", and then the leader of "Heroes of the Forbidden Area", "Winner is King", and "Light of Champions".
I am very grateful to have been able to walk hand in hand during these nine years, and hope to continue to walk side by side.
Thanks!
