Chapter 28 Outside the Pavilion, Beside the Ancient Road, the Grassy Sky

When Zhou Yi opened the door to the press conference room, he saw team leader Guo Bing standing at the door and staring at him.

Zhou Yi showed no embarrassment and greeted Guo Bing calmly: "Ah, Brother Guo, have you just arrived?"

Guo Bing continued to stare at him and hummed: "If I come later, I won't be able to hear your wonderful speech!"

Zhou Yi smiled: "Someone has to say something. It's better for me to say it than for a big troll like Sun Pan to say it."

Guo Bing made a painful and helpless expression: "I think you are the biggest troll on the Olympic team, Zhou Yi..."

"Sorry, Brother Guo, I have caused you trouble again. When the Olympics are over, I will let you handle it." Zhou Yi said.

Guo Bing laughed angrily at Zhou Yi's words: "What can I do to you? What can I do to you? Zhou Yi, you are my ancestor, right..."

Zhou Yi waved his hand quickly: "Brother Guo, please don't say that, you scared me!"

Guo Bing grinned: "You just scared me... Okay, go back quickly! I hope that just like you said, this matter is over, don't get entangled anymore."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Of course, I don't have the energy to stay here and scold idiots every day."

After saying that he ran away.

Guo Bing heard Zhou Yi's last curse words and wanted to criticize Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi had already run away, and he could only sigh helplessly.

He was really frightened because he had just heard the news. It was said that this time there was a very big leader who admired Zhou Yi very much... So Zhou Yi dared to disobey, but the leader of the delegation did not punish him yet and allowed him to do this. The nonsense continued.

There is no way, the next leader of our country is a football fan...

Guo Bing didn't dare to do anything to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi's long speech at the press conference was quickly spread by the media. Now is the Internet age. Before the traditional media has arranged the layout, the full text of Zhou Yi's speech has already appeared on the Internet...

No matter who he is or what his views are, Zhou Yi's speech has a strong impact.

Because no one thought that Zhou Yi would say such naked and unabashed words.

A star athlete will always have some cover-ups when facing the media and will be very particular about his wording. Even if their inner thoughts are different, their words must be said according to the "hidden rules".

For example, you should thank the country first, be humble after winning the championship, and say you have tried your best after losing...

These are all routines.

But this time, Zhou Yi didn't follow the routine at all.

He made no secret of his inner thoughts, spoke his mind directly, and expressed his opinions in the most direct words and the most down-to-earth way.

This method has never been used by Chinese athletes before. To be honest, it was not just Guo Bing who was scared, but many, many others...

Words like "idiot" may be processed by technology in traditional media, but on the Internet, they are restored and preserved in the most authentic way. Just from such words, you can feel how deep Zhou Yi's emotions are. Intense.

After the initial shock, netizens cheered for Zhou Yi.

"True temperament! Zhou Yi's true temperament!"

"As expected of my husband, my husband is the most handsome!"

"That's a good scold, it's so damn satisfying! In the face of those idiots, our athletes just need to make such a sound!"

"I'm tired of hearing those forced words against one's will in front of the camera. Hearing Zhou Yi's hearty rebuke is as refreshing as drinking cold beer on a dog day!"

"When we scold public intellectuals, we are defined as Internet mobs by them. Now I am looking forward to public intellectuals defining Zhou Yi as a 'mob', hahaha!"

"You're right, our athletes are competing for us gold and silver at the front, but some idiots in the country stab us in the back. This kind of behavior is the most despicable. This is 10,000 times worse than the Koreans!"

…

Zhou Yi became an "Internet celebrity" for a while.

It is very popular on the Internet. In fact, he was already very popular before, as a football star. But his influence is more in the professional field of football. Now, people who don’t watch football, don’t understand football, and have no interest in football at all know that there is such a person in the Chinese Olympic delegation who dares to speak up. , his name is Zhou Yi, he is a football player.

Some enthusiastic netizens dug out some of Zhou Yi's previous news to tell the majority of netizens that Zhou Yi's true character of daring to do things and speak out did not appear suddenly. He has always been like this. For example, during the top 20 of the World Cup qualifiers, he publicly ridiculed Qatar for its off-the-table moves.

These words of Zhou Yi were even compiled into "quotes" and were posted to the Weibo accounts of previous big v official accounts.

Some people just pretended to be deaf and gave in, but others were not convinced.

For example, the official Weibo account of Caijing.com posted a netizen who scolded them using a quotation from Zhouyi, and retweeted it with the comment: "Small ditches also have the ideal of becoming rivers. This really touches China."

What does this mean? Everyone is not stupid. They can see it at a glance. It is just mocking Zhou Yi for calling himself a "river" and calling Zhou Yi a "little ditch".

This led to crazy ridicule and curses from netizens.

The reporter surnamed Zhang from the "Legal Evening News" was named by Zhou Yi in this speech - although he did not mention his full name, everyone actually knew it was him, and he knew it himself - so he also responded: " Reciting two lines of poetry is considered a cultural level? That’s just the level of knowledge. So a three-year-old child who can memorize two lines of Tang poetry and Song lyrics is also a person with cultural literacy? It’s ridiculous. With such logical ability, he still has the nerve to say culture. What’s the level?”

His reply naturally received criticism and ridicule from other netizens.

Among the comments and reposts that were all criticizing him, a familiar name suddenly appeared.

An ID "Zhou Yi is not a fortune teller" forwarded this Weibo post by the reporter surnamed Zhang, and commented: "The sun is out, and the dogs on the ground are barking. But no matter how loud the dogs bark, the sun is still high."

The ID "Zhou Yi is not a fortune teller" is not an unknown person. There is a yellow "v" badge behind the name, which means real-name authentication. In the authentication information column, it reads: "China National Team" , Dortmund player Zhou Yi”—yes, this is Zhou Yi’s personal Weibo account.

Looking through Zhou Yi's comments on Weibo, he has very, very little. He only follows a few people, and if you click on these people, you will find that they are all his teammates. Other than that, he does not follow any accounts. Since he registered in 2011, he has only posted 48 Weibo posts. This shows that he is not a heavy social network user like Rio Ferdinand.

Whether it is Weibo, Twitter, or Facebook, he rarely goes on it. Because he is too busy, if he has time to surf the Internet, he will definitely chat with his friends in the group instead of browsing Weibo.

The last time Zhou Yi posted on Weibo was half a year ago.

Weibo officials have contacted him and are willing to set up a management team for him to manage his Weibo if he does not have time to post. But Zhou Yi rejected it. Zhou Yi knows his brand effect. As long as he nods, it will be a sum of money. But he didn't feel comfortable handing it over to Weibo's management team, and he didn't have time to review it one by one, so he just threw it away until he remembered it, or if he couldn't remember it, forget it.

Unexpectedly, this matter has become a hot topic recently, causing his Weibo account to resurface.

And he continued his style at the press conference. Compare reporter Zhang to a dog.

Many people retweeted the thread and left messages: "Gather around to watch the slap in the face!" "It's so horrible, hahaha!" "I just like Zhou Yi's arrogance!"

Reporter Zhang quickly replied to Zhouyi: "Misinterpreting the idiom 'Sichuan dog barking at the sun' does not make you look very educated, it can only continue to expose your ignorance!"

After he posted this Weibo, it continued to attract criticism from everyone. But no one is as fresh and refined as Zhou Yi's scolding.

This is what he said: "Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is in the sky. Haha."

Reporter Zhang immediately retweeted and ridiculed: "Stop haha, you can't even recite all the words to "Farewell", and you still want to show off, it's really ridiculous!"

But this time Zhou Yi did not reply to him, but someone made a reading and understanding for him: "Idiot, don't be proud, people are scolding you for not showing off (Bilian)!"

Other netizens didn't understand what Zhou Yi meant at first. Like reporter Zhang, some felt that Zhou Yi must have remembered it wrong, and now he was making a fool of himself... But after someone explained it, they suddenly I suddenly realized it and couldn't help but marvel.

"I've seen stupid people, but never such stupid ones! 23333!"

“It’s obvious who is uneducated!”

"It's so tragic that reporters who are known for their fast-talking skills have been crushed in IQ by the athletes they ridiculed as having "well-developed limbs and simple minds"..."

"Haha! Zhou Yi is simply a breath of fresh air among Chinese athletes. He curses people with such style! It's the first time I've seen the word "Farewell" used in this way!"

"Hey, you said it's not good for prostitute Zhang to offend anyone, but he offended Zhou Yi. Is Zhou Yi's mouth a vegetarian? He is the best talker in football!"

Some people also find it strange that many people have made cynicism about the Chinese Olympic team before, but why did Zhou Yi just grab reporter Zhang and not let him go? The only person he named at the press conference was Reporter Zhang, and then he specifically found Reporter Zhang on Weibo to scold him.

Why?

Some people speculate that this may be related to the fact that Reporter Zhang scolded Sun Pan for being uneducated, so now Zhou Yi and Reporter Zhang's arguments focus on the word "culture". Obviously, Zhou Yi was standing up for his good friend... That reporter Zhang who didn't have Bilian never expected that he would provoke the big devil by scolding an Olympic player...

"Hey, Zhou Yi, if you don't let us talk outside, why are you addicted to scolding yourself?" Yang Muge asked Zhou Yi.

Everyone else in the room looked at him.

Zhou Yi's impressive performance at the press conference has spread to the inside of the Olympic team. Everyone knows what he said, and the scolding was hearty...

"Yes, yes, Lao Yang is right. Didn't you say you should watch your mouth? Why don't you abide by it?" Sun Pan was very unconvinced. Isn't this a double standard?

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "Haha, of course the captain has to do this kind of limelight thing!"

"Damn it, I knew it!" Sun Pan roared.

Others laughed
