Champion’s Heart

Chapter 14 Old Enemies

The Chinese Olympic team and the Korean Olympic team actually met in the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games. This is something worthy of speculation for the media in China and South Korea.

Putting aside the grievances between China and South Korea in football, as well as the grievances between China and South Korea in many aspects besides football, just talking about these two Olympic teams, there is a story between them.

In the Asian Olympic qualifiers, the Chinese team and the South Korean team were assigned to the same group.

The Olympic team played its first game against South Korea in the group stage, but lost to South Korea in an away game. Of course, Chinese football lost to South Korean football in an away game, which is in line with the consistent performance of Chinese football. But at that time, the Olympic team already had four of the five little dragons, but it was missing only one Zhou Yi.

However, in the subsequent key match, the Chinese Olympic team defeated the Korean team at home and took away the first place in their group from the Korean Olympic team. According to the rules, only the first place in the three groups can directly advance to the London Olympics. The second place in the remaining three groups must fight against each other in a single round-robin match. The team with the highest points in the end will compete in this year's fourth round. Come to the UK on the 23rd to compete with an African team to decide who can participate in the Olympic Games.

Judging from this schedule, it will be very difficult if you don't get the direct qualification.

Also have to play four more games.

Therefore, the Korean Olympic team originally thought that they would definitely be the first in this group and then directly advance to the Olympic finals.

Unexpectedly, a Chinese Olympic team appeared out of nowhere and knocked them down from the first place in the group. The Chinese team replaced them and qualified directly for the Olympics, while the Korean Olympic team will go to the intra-Asian play-offs and compete with the African team Senegal for the last ticket.

Fortunately, they finally made it out of the Asian play-offs, defeated Syria and Uzbekistan, and defeated Senegal in the final qualifying round, qualifying for the Olympic Games. Otherwise, they would not even be able to participate in the Olympic finals. How embarrassing?

Koreans also attach great importance to national honor.

Although he finally made it to the Olympic Games, he was still a little disgraced after all the hard work, which made the Koreans feel very embarrassed.

And all this is because of the Chinese Olympic team. South Korea will naturally put this account on the Chinese Olympic team.

They didn't expect that they would have a chance to settle this score at this Olympics so soon.

As soon as the results of the match come out,

In other words, as soon as the third round of the group stage ended, South Korea couldn't wait to issue a challenge to the Chinese team.

"I think this is a good opportunity. The Chinese team is very strong, but we are also confident that we can go further!" Ji Dongyuan, the forward of the Korean Olympic team, said very confidently when accepting reporters.

"But the Chinese team has Zhou Yi." The Korean reporter asked the confident player.

Ji Dongyuan, who was born in 1991, said: "Yes, they have Zhou Yi, but we also have players like senior Ji Chengyong. And football is a team sport, and not one person can determine the outcome of the game."

Chi Dongyuan said these words with great confidence. Of course, it makes sense for him to say so, because he himself is indeed a very capable young talented player.

He has created many "firsts" in Korean football. For example, he is the first batch of players born in the 1990s to be selected for the Olympic team. The players participating in the London Olympics are actually in the age group of 89 or 9, that is to say, they are players born in 1989. These people have been in the same group since the youth team. And Chi Dongyuan became the first post-90s generation in this post-80s team.

In addition, he is also the first player born in the 1990s to win an Asian Games gold medal. The first batch of players born in the 1990s in the Korean national team. The first striker born in the 1990s for the Korean national team. The first player born in the 1990s to score in the Asian Games, the first player born in the 1990s to score in the Asian Cup...

Among players of the same age in South Korea, Ji Dongyuan is one of the most promising, and among forwards of the same age, he is the most outstanding one.

He scored two goals at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, and then scored four goals at the 2011 Asian Cup, ranking second on the scorer list.

With such achievements, of course he will become more arrogant. In the eyes of the Korean media and fans, his behavior is characterized by outstanding personality, confidence, straightforwardness and cuteness.

Of course, that may not be a good thing in the eyes of the enemy...

"Fuck! What does it mean that the outcome of the game cannot be decided by one person?" Sun Pan was holding his mobile phone and reading reports on the China-South Korea war on domestic portals. Domestic media translated various Korean media reports on this game. Unexpectedly, the more he read the report, the more angry he became. When he saw what Chi Dongyuan said, he couldn't help it anymore and cursed loudly. "Do you still need him to emphasize that football is a team sport? It's like Zhou Yi is the only one in our team!"

"Yes, I also think this is a naked look down on people!" Zhou Yi also said. "Panpan, it seems you didn't impress them enough in the qualifiers last time."

Hearing what Zhou Yi said, Sun Pan became even more upset, and veins were about to pop out on his forehead.

In the last match between the Chinese Olympic team and the Korean Olympic team, Sun Pan made a solemn oath before the game. He also kept a clean sheet against the Korean team in that game, fulfilling his promise.

It stands to reason that such a performance is dazzling enough, right?

But judging from the remarks of Korean players, it seems that he is still not remembered...

"Damn it! This time they must remember their Grandpa Sun's face!" Sun Pan gritted his teeth.

※※※

Chi Dongyuan's remarks not only made Sun Pan unhappy, but also made Chinese fans unhappy. The Chinese media naturally knows what domestic fans like to watch most, so when reporting, they consciously carry out selective reporting. For example, in fact, when Ji Dongyuan's senior Ki Sung-yong was interviewed by a Korean reporter, he fully expressed his admiration and respect for Zhou Yi, and believed that the Chinese team not only has Zhou Yi, but also other outstanding players. He is a very good player. A difficult opponent.

However, the Chinese reporter did not translate this paragraph at all, or even if he did, it was hidden in a dense text.

These words of Chi Dongyuan are not only excerpted as a title, but also highlighted in bold in the text so that readers can see them at a glance.

This is what the Chinese media does.

The Korean media was not much better. They exaggerated the past grievances between the two sides in this game, highlighted the color of hatred, and promoted this game as a "battle of revenge." The negative remarks made by Chinese fans after seeing the selective reports of domestic media were translated into Korean, and then fed back to Korean readers and fans, guiding Korean fans to cynicize the Chinese team in various ways.

"Ji Dongyuan is right! As the football team of the Republic of Korea, we must have such confidence when facing the Chinese team!"

"Does the Chinese team think that if they beat us once, they will get rid of Koreanphobia? We want them to know that this is a terminal disease that cannot be cured!"

"Chi Dongyuan is so handsome! I really want to give him a child!"

"Well done Chi Dongyuan! You must teach the arrogant Chinese a lesson during the competition!"

These are the calls of Korean fans.

Under the guidance and operation of the Chinese and Korean media, the atmosphere before the game was heated.

However, Zhou Yi did not fall into this rhythm. After Chi Dongyuan's remarks were published, many reporters came to interview Zhou Yi and wanted to hear his response to it.

Everyone knows that Zhou Yi is not as kind as he looks. He also has a temper. Sometimes he is like a cactus and can sting people.

They all hope that Zhou Yi can give some explosive answers to give them room for speculation.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi said calmly: "It's useless to say anything before the game starts. I think everyone should pay close attention to the game itself."

Seeing that Zhou Yi was not cooperating, a reporter asked unwillingly: "In the last qualifiers, it was the Chinese team that defeated the Korean team at home and asked the Korean team to play a few qualifying matches. Now South Korea thinks that this is A battle of revenge, what do you think?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "I wasn't a player on the Olympic team in that game, so I can't comment on it. But it's normal for the opponent who lost to win back. There's nothing special about it."

Zhou Yi behaved so low-key and calm, which really disappointed the reporters.

But do you think that this will stop the speculators?

Of course it's impossible.

What do reporters do? Specialized in mixing water and causing trouble.

Zhou Yi didn't provide them with ammunition, so they knew how to make it themselves!

So Zhou Yi's calmness was interpreted by some media as..."arrogance"!

"Facing Chi Dongyuan's challenge, Zhou Yi looked dismissive and arrogant..." This is the interpretation of the Korean media.

"As one of the biggest stars in this Olympics, Zhou Yi certainly has the reason and qualification to do this. And Zhou Yi also slapped Chi Dongyuan in this way. If South Korea thinks that Chi Dongyuan is old If the honors he received can make him so arrogant, then the honors obtained by Zhou Yi, who is similar to him, can already trample him in the mud!" This is the interpretation of the Chinese media.

These reports were translated and disseminated by reporters from China and South Korea, and then reached the fans of each other. The flames of hatred burned even brighter... (To be continued)).
