Chapter 11 Murderous Intent

The match between the Chinese team and Mexico is not the first match of this London Olympics, but it is indeed very high.

On the 26th, all the first round of group matches ended.

The main theme of the first round of the group stage was "upset". Compared with other unpopular games, the Chinese Olympic team's victory over the Mexican Olympic team is nothing to mention.

When the British team, the last host team to appear in this round of group matches, faced the South Korean Olympic team, they were tied 1:1 by the opponent, which was a minor upset.

The result of the game was unsatisfactory, and the team also made news outside the field - because while waving during the national anthem before the game, the Welshmen Giggs and Bellamy did not open their mouths. His approach was criticized by many British fans, who believed that he lacked respect for the national anthem and was too undisciplined.

And just the day before the game, Welsh star Gareth Bale, who was far away in the United States, scored the only goal of the game for Tottenham Hotspur in the warm-up match. This caution also caused an uproar in the British media. Because just three weeks ago, the Welsh winger announced that he had no choice but to withdraw from the Olympics due to injury, which made many people sigh. Unexpectedly, he is now performing brilliantly in Tottenham Hotspur's thousands of warm-up matches. This contrast is really unacceptable to British fans and the media.

Zhou Yi really got it right. The seemingly powerful British Olympic team has fallen into internal strife. What combat effectiveness can such a team have?

In the first round of the group stage, Brazil, which was equally strong, defeated its opponent Egypt, but it was a narrow victory. They led by three goals in the first half, but allowed Egypt to chase two goals in a row in the second half and were almost tied.

But none of the above are the biggest upsets. The biggest upset was that the Spanish Olympic team, the seed team in Group D, unexpectedly lost 0:1 to Japan!

Spain's failure also caused quite a shock in Spain. The Spanish media considered this the "first Olympic slap", and "World Sports News" commented that this is a completely unrecognizable Spanish team. If the Japanese team can seize several counterattack opportunities, the score will be expanded.

Originally, everyone was optimistic that the Spanish Olympic team would win the gold medal, so that they would achieve the Grand Slam of the World Cup, European Cup and Olympic Games. But now after losing to Japan, Spain's future has become complicated.

Japan was extremely excited after winning against Spain. The Japanese domestic media "Nikkan Sports" called the victory the "Glasgow Miracle", "Sankei Sports" used "Japan Shocks the World" as its headline, and the "Mainichi Shimbun" excitedly said " Otsu Yuki sank the Armada." The whole of Japan is filled with a carnival-like atmosphere.

Yuki Otsu, who scored the only goal for the Japanese team, also told reporters: "Our goal is to win the gold medal!"

"Eh,

Zhou Yi, you see, Japan has the same goal as us! "Yang Muge took the newspaper he just bought from outside and showed it to Zhou Yi.

In this local British newspaper, the photo was of Japanese players celebrating their victory.

Although the Chinese team defeated Mexico, their limelight has been completely overshadowed by the Japanese team, which upset the world champion.

"Damn, even little Japan wants to do that?" Sun Pan came over.

"Japan really has this kind of strength." Zhou Yi said, touching his chin.

"Will we, will we encounter them?" Guo asked angrily.

"If everything goes well, we will meet them in the semifinals." Zhou Yi gave the answer.

"That's good! When I meet them, let me teach them how to behave! I'll avenge you in the Asian Cup finals!" Sun Pan patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder.

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes at him: "You can't win the Asian Cup even if you win against a group of Olympic teams."

Several people walked towards the athletes' village while talking.

When I was almost reaching the gate, I found that a lot of people suddenly gathered in front of me.

"Something happened?" Sun Pan asked when he saw this, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"What are you expecting!" Yang Muge couldn't help but complain about him.

A few people came closer and saw that they were all Japanese speaking Japanese, some looked like reporters, and some dressed up as athletes.

They were shouting a person's name loudly, and this name was quite familiar to Zhou Yi.

"Kagawa——!"

Zhou Yi was surprised - Shinji Kagawa is here?

Looking closer, I actually saw his Dortmund teammate Shinji Kagawa. He was wearing casual clothes and signing autographs for the fans who came up. And these fans are basically members of the Japanese Olympic delegation. While he was signing autographs to these fans, a group of young people wearing Japanese Olympic team sports jackets stood next to him, looking at him with some respect.

Japanese reporters gathered around to take photos.

This scene is really full of stardom.

Looking at this scene, Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing, and then raised his hand: "It's okay to chase stars, but don't block traffic!"

He spoke German.

After hearing this, Shinji Kagawa turned around suddenly and saw a smiling Zhou Yi behind several reporters taking pictures. He was very surprised: "Zhou Sang?! Why are you here?"

"That's right. I'm a genuine member of the Chinese Olympic delegation." Zhou Yi picked up the Chinese flag on his coat and showed it to the other party. "Isn't it right for me to be here? It's you, what are you doing here?"

"We defeated Spain yesterday, and I'm here to cheer everyone on." Shinji Kagawa pointed at the players of the Japanese Olympic team.

"I heard, you performed really well." Zhou Yi turned to the players of the Japanese Olympic team and said, of course, he spoke in German. Don't worry if the Japanese Olympic team players don't understand, Kagawa Shinji will help him translate to the Japanese Olympic team players.

Sure enough, after Shinji Kagawa finished speaking to the players of the Olympic team in Japanese, the players of the Japanese Olympic team all looked at Zhou Yi with grateful eyes.

Although Zhou Yi is a Chinese player, Zhou Yi's strength and achievements fully illustrate his abilities. Japan is a country that worships the strong, and of course they respect players like Zhou Yi very much.

And you must know that Shinji Kagawa, who made them respectful, was also very respectful in front of Zhou Yi.

Now that the greetings are over and the pleasantries are over, there is no need for Zhou Yi to keep stealing Kagawa Shinji's limelight here. Look at those Japanese reporters. They have turned their cameras on themselves and Shinji Kagawa. Originally, it was news that Kagawa came to the Olympic Village to visit the Japanese Olympic team. However, when he joined, it became the news that he and Shinji Kagawa were in the Olympic Village. Reminiscing about old times.

So Zhou Yi decided to return the stage to the original protagonist.

But before leaving, he still said to the players of the Olympic team: "I heard that you want to win the gold medal? You have to get through me first."

This time he didn’t use German, but directly came out with a string of Japanese!

With a smile on his face, he said what he said in Japanese with a not very standard pronunciation, which actually sounded quite funny. But no one laughed.

On the contrary, the players of the Japanese Olympic team were shocked when they heard that, and Shinji Kagawa couldn't help but look solemn next to him.

After saying that, Zhou Yi turned around and returned to his companions, and Shi Shiran left.

"Damn it, Zhou Yi, you can also speak Japanese?" Sun Pan was surprised.

"I know a little bit, I know a little bit."

"But you, how can you, know Japanese?" Guo Nu was also surprised.

"This makes it easier to discuss with Xiangchuan a teacher with both virtue and art." Zhou Yi said.

Sun Pan and Guo Nu were speechless.

Yang Muge doesn't care why Zhou Yi wants to learn Japanese. There is a Japanese teammate in the team, and it is not unusual for him to speak a few words in Japanese after being exposed to him too much. He was concerned about what Zhou Yi said in Japanese, so he asked: "What did you say to them?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just told them that if they want to win the gold medal, they need my permission." Zhou Yi said with a smile.

※※※

"What did he just say?"

"Did he really say that?"

"It seems... that's what it says... Although the pronunciation is not very standard, the meaning is that..."

"Is he saying that if we want to win the gold medal, we have to pass his level first?"

"Yes."

"this……"

People on the Japanese Olympic team were talking a lot and were a little speechless in the end. Zhou Yi seems to be fully qualified and capable to say such things to them, but football is not a solo sport, football is a team. Zhou Yi has the qualifications to say such arrogant things. Does the Chinese team have it?

From the perspective of Japanese Olympic team players, even if the Chinese team has many overseas players, this issue still remains a question mark. Because the Japanese Olympic team also has many overseas players, their number of overseas players is even more than that of the Chinese team, reaching six.

"Although Zhou Sang is very good, I will make him realize that football is still a team sport!" Yuki Otsu, who scored the winning goal for the Japanese team in the last game, said with confidence.

His words resonated with other Japanese Olympic team players.

But just when the Japanese Olympic team players were excited, Shinji Kagawa suddenly scolded with a straight face: "Asshole! Do you think everyone else in the Chinese team is vegetarian!"

As a Dortmund player, he had played against Yang Muge. Yang Muge's calmness and tenacity in defense really left a deep impression on him.

Although he has never played against Sun Pan, the fact that he was able to win the Europa League as Atletico Madrid's main goalkeeper should illustrate his strength.

As for the other two overseas players, they should also be outstanding.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yi's sudden words made Shinji Kagawa couldn't help but think of the Asian Cup, and he had some bad premonitions.

The absence of that Asian Cup final must have been a thorn in Zhou Yi's heart. This thorn always stuck in his heart, making him feel uncomfortable. It is impossible to repeat the Asian Cup finals again, but if China and Japan meet again in the Olympics, he may put all his past debts on the Japanese Olympic team. If the Olympic team does not pay attention to its opponents, it may really lose.

Zhou Yi's words were unabashed and nakedly showed his determination to defeat Japan.

This is what worries Shinji Kagawa the most. He even heard Zhou Yi's murderous intent from these words. Based on his contact and understanding of Zhou Yi, there are not many things that can make Zhou Yi so murderous...

So when he saw that the players of the Japanese Olympic team were so confident, he couldn't help scolding them, just to make them more vigilant and not to take the Chinese Olympic team lightly.

Don't get carried away just because you defeated Spain in the first group match. In the eyes of Shinji Kagawa, a Zhou Yi who is determined to take revenge is much more terrifying than Spain! (To be continued.)
