Chapter 57 A Level that Cannot Be Overcome
In the eyes of many people, Zhou Yi's shot was very strange. It didn't matter if it wasn't a powerful shot. The football flew very slowly, as if someone would kick it out at any time while it was falling towards the goal.
But no, football was all alone until the goal was scored. Wu Lei's goal, with Maya Yoshida acting as the background, rolled into the goal with a bang.
This time, football is as quiet as a handsome man, cool and calm, lifting his weight with ease.
This can be confirmed in Zhou Yi's series of actions from intercepting the ball to shooting - his interception movements are not large, very light, and not exaggerated to the point of changing the center of gravity. He just lifts his foot seemingly casually and touches the target. Feiyuan's football blocked it.
The subsequent pick-up was indeed very relaxed and freehand, giving the impression that there was no effort.
Then he stepped on the ball with two consecutive feet and passed the Japanese team's center back Yuhei Tokuku. At the same time, it seemed like an ordinary adjustment. It was completely different from Wu Lei's forced breakthrough that was eaten alive by accelerating. There was no sharpness. Feel.
But he actually entered the Japanese team's penalty area so smoothly, as easily as if he was walking in front of the Japanese team's penalty area.
Maya Yoshida and Shuichi Gonda both rushed forward aggressively. At this time, many offensive players would choose to quickly release the ball and take a decisive shot when facing the attack of these two people.
Zhou Yi didn't, or in other words, he didn't feel that he was in a hurry, but followed his original steps and launched a very concealed shot without any warning.
Before Gonda Shuichi and Yoshida Maya even got into a rhythm, the football was already flying by.
The last one is the scene that everyone thinks is in slow motion.
In slow motion, the football flew into the goal without any suspense.
Compared with Zhou Yi who was so relaxed and free to score goals, He Ping in the commentary box was so excited. His voice broke during the commentary and his throat was torn. He had to cough hard before he could continue normally. pronounce.
"It is now the 72nd minute, China is 3:1, leading Japan by two goals! What does this mean? There are still twenty minutes! There are still twenty minutes... We are still twenty minutes away from the Olympic champion!! Audience friends, we are all witnessing history!"
Mark Lawrenson also responded: "What a goal! What a wonderful goal! Zhou Yi seemed to have dropped a piece of red-hot iron into a pool of ice water!"
The Japanese commentator's mouth opened.
But he didn't make a sound. At this time, when he saw the lost ball, he lost his voice.
The madness in the commentary box is not unique. It is also the same in the stands, on the Chinese team's coaching bench and on the bench.
The moment the football flew into the goal, the stands of the new Wembley Stadium seemed to tremble and shake - it was caused by Chinese fans jumping up and landing.
In front of the coaching bench of the Chinese Olympic team, Blazevic did not raise his arms and shout, but stood on the sidelines, shaking his head slightly with an expression of "Oh my God" on his face.
Behind him, translator Jiang Xiaojun and team leader Guo Bing hugged each other. They waved their fists excitedly and roared to the sky.
When it was 2:1, they were very excited, but they were worried that the Japanese team would equalize the score next. After all, this score was no different from 1:0. A one-goal lead is the most dangerous score.
But 3:1, that means something different! The stone in everyone's heart fell to the ground, and the two-goal lead made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. They could put aside their worries and celebrate, because they could finally think like this - the Olympic champion is close at hand!
In front of the TV and on the Internet, Chinese fans are also jubilant.
"I love Zhou Yi! If I were a female, I would definitely marry him!!"
"The final word! I said this is the ball that ends the suspense, right? Hahaha! The first world championship in the history of Chinese football is coming!!"
"Handsome! Handsome! Zhou Yi is so handsome! This ball is so cool!! It is impeccable both in terms of viewing value and importance!"
"Damn, there's a football in my eye!"
"Fuck, I cried! But it's not embarrassing, hahahaha!"
"Gold medal! Olympic gold medal! Chinese football won the Olympic gold medal! It's fucking men's football! Am I still dreaming?!"
…
When Wu Lei took the lead, the Chinese fans were not so crazy because they also had the same worry about being equalized.
Zhou Yi's goal diluted their worries a lot.
This is also the "safe score" that Zhouyi strives for.
※※※
After scoring the goal, he was thrown to the ground by the crazy Chinese players. This time it was not just the players on the court, but also the substitute players on the bench. They surrounded Zhou Yi from two directions, allowing Zhou Yi to He had no way to escape, and then he was dragged to the ground and everyone jumped on him.
Even Sun Pan rushed over from the far door and was the last one to press forward. Even though he was on top, he did not forget to wave his fist to the Japanese fans in the stands, showing off his power.
"Do you accept it? Do you accept it? I just ask you if you accept it!!" He still shouted.
Many of the Japanese fans who were not far away had their heads in their hands and had dull expressions on their faces - they had reached the Olympic finals and dreamed of making history and winning the first Olympic gold medal for Japanese football in history. This mood was similar to that of the Chinese team. The fans are the same.
But now, they are getting farther and farther away from this dream, and China is getting closer...
This is really a painful and sad reality for them. They are speechless and choked when facing this reality, especially when they have to watch Chinese players celebrate their goals under their noses...
Fortunately, they didn't understand what Sun Pan was yelling about. I'm afraid it wasn't as simple as being sad.

Shinji Kagawa sat in the box and witnessed the entire process of Zhou Yi's goal. When he saw him picking over Hotaru Yamaguchi, he had a very bad premonition. Based on his understanding of Zhou Yi, although Zhou Yi does not score many goals, he is very good at scoring key goals, because his extraordinary calmness on the court always allows him to perform well under heavy pressure.
What happened next confirmed his understanding of Zhouyi.
Shinji Kagawa is very bitter now.
As a Japanese, he certainly hopes that Japan will win the historic Olympic gold medal in men's football.
The Japanese women's football team has already won the World Cup, and the Japanese men's youth football team has also won the World Youth Championship. Only in adult men's football, the Japanese team has never won the highest honor. Although the Olympic Games is not an A-level event like the World Cup, it can also be regarded as an adult men's football event.
He hopes that he can witness the historical moment of Japanese football with his own eyes.
Now it seems that we have witnessed the historical moment of Chinese football...
He sat in his seat and looked at the stadium blankly. What he thought of was the scene when Zhou Yi met him and the Japanese Olympic team after the first game of the group stage.
At that time, the morale of the Japanese Olympic team, which had just defeated world champion Spain 1:0, was high. The domestic media in Japan also praised them for creating history and writing miracles. He also came to the Olympic Village to cheer up the team.
Before Zhou Yi came, he was chatting with the players of the Japanese team. Yuki Otsu said what he said to the media, the goal is the gold medal.
Some people think he is talking big words, including Shinji Kagawa.
Because the rapid development of Japanese football in the past two years has given every Japanese a strong sense of self-confidence, their achievements prove that nothing is impossible in front of Japanese football.
At the beginning of 2011, the Japanese women's football team won the championship in the Women's Asian Youth Championship in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and this was their successful defense of the title.
In the 2011 Asian Cup in Qatar, the Japanese men's football team, led by Shinji Kagawa, defeated the Chinese team and won the Asian Cup for the fourth time in history, becoming the well-deserved king of Asia.
In the 2011 Women's World Cup, the Japanese women's football team defeated the United States in a penalty shootout in the final and won the world championship. This is not only the first world championship for Japanese women's football, but also the first world championship for Japanese football, and the first world championship for Asian football.
Also this year, at the Universiade held in Shenzhen, China, the Japanese men's football team defeated the British team in the final and won the Universiade championship.
Winning four championships in one year and having so many championships, why can’t we dream of a gold medal in the Olympics?
Unlike Zhou Yi who would be questioned by the media and fans in China when he shouted that his goal was a gold medal, in the minds of the Japanese, their strength can already spy on the gold medal on a stage that this traditional football power does not pay so much attention to.
There have been rumors that the Japanese Football Association is seeking to leave Asia and join Europe, hoping to compete on the highest level stage, so as to further enhance their strength. They are so ambitious, and it is natural for them to achieve today's results.
The performance of the Japanese team in this year's Olympic Games can be said to be the result of Japanese football's previous work. They indeed deserve the honor of reaching the finals and an Olympic gold medal.
But it happened that China's golden generation came out of nowhere.
In the eyes of many people, although China is a country with a large population, it is not a big country in football. Their ability to enter the Olympic finals is worthy of national celebration. Winning the championship? Thinking too far ahead.
But Zhou Yi, He Ying, Sun Pan, Yang Muge and Guo Nu, these young players just appeared in the world football world and appeared in front of everyone as if they popped out of a stone.
At that time, Zhou Yi met the Japanese team outside the Olympic Village. He smiled and said something that made Shinji Kagawa's hair stand on end.
If you want to win the championship, you must first pass him.
Now it seems that he is simply a prophet, and he was really right - the Japanese team met the Chinese team led by Zhou Yi in the final.
In this current situation, it may be said that...the Japanese team failed to successfully pass the Zhouyi level.
Looking at this game, if Zhou Yi had not been suspended in the Asian Cup final, it is hard to say what the result would have been...(To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian (). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go and read. )
