Chapter Fourteen Old Enemies

The Chinese national Olympic team and the South Korean national Olympic team actually met in the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games, which is worth hype for the media in China and South Korea.

Putting aside the grievances between China and South Korea in football and the grievances between China and South Korea in many aspects besides football, we only talk about these two national Olympic teams, and there is a story between them.

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

The National Olympic Team played against South Korea in the first game in the group stage, but lost to South Korea away. Of course, the loss to South Korea away was in line with the consistent performance of Chinese football. However, the National Olympic Team had four of the five little dragons at that time, but it was just missing one Zhou Yi.

However, in the subsequent key matches, the Chinese National Olympic Team defeated the South Korean team at home and snatched their first group from the South Korean National Olympic Team. According to the rules, only the first group in the three groups can directly advance to the London Olympics. The second group in the remaining three groups must fight against each other and play a single-cycle game. The team with the highest points will come to the UK to confront an African team on April 23 this year to decide who can participate in the Olympic Games.

Judging from this schedule, it would be very troublesome if you don’t get the direct promotion qualification.

There are four more games to play.

So the Korean Olympic team originally thought they would definitely be the number one in this group and then directly advanced to the Olympic finals.

Unexpectedly, a Chinese national Olympic team emerged and actually pulled them from the top of the group. The Chinese team replaced them and obtained the qualification to directly participate in the Olympics, while the Korean national Olympic team was going to play in the play-offs within Asia and then compete with the African team Senegal for the last ticket.

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

Koreans also attach great importance to national honors.

Although I finally entered the Olympic Games, I was still a bit dirt-like after struggling for such a round, which made the Koreans feel very embarrassed.

All of this is because of the Chinese National Olympic Team, and South Korea will naturally take this account on the Chinese National Olympic Team.

They didn't expect that the calculation would have a chance to calculate the money at this Olympics so soon.

As soon as the match result came out, or as soon as the third round of group stage ended, South Korea couldn't wait to issue a challenge letter 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!" Chi Dong-won, the striker of the Korean Olympic team, said very much when accepting reporters.

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

Chi Dongyuan, born in 1991, said: "Yes, they have Zhou Yi, but we also have players like Senior Ji Chengyong. Moreover, football is a team sport, and it is not something that a single person can decide the outcome of the game."

Chi Dongyuan said these words very confidently, of course, it is reasonable for him to say this, because he is indeed a very capable young talented player.

He has created many "firsts" in Korean football. For example, he was the first group of post-90s players selected for the National Olympic Team. The players participating in the London Olympics are actually from the 1989-year-olds, which means they are players born in 1989. These people have been in the first group since the youth team. Chi Dong-won became the first post-90s team in this post-80s team.

In addition, he is also the first post-90s player to win the Asian Games gold medal. The first batch of players born in the South Korean national team. The first forward of the South Korean national team is born in the 1990s. The first post-90s player to score goals in the Asian Games, and the first post-90s player to score goals in the Asian Cup...

Among the players of his age in South Korea, Chi Dong-won is one of the most promising people, and among the forwards of his age, he is the most outstanding.

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

With such achievements, he will of course be a little arrogant and arrogant. And his behavior is in the eyes of Korean media and fans, which is a performance of outstanding personality, full of confidence, straightforward and cuteness.

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

"Fuck! What does it mean that one person can decide the outcome of the game without relying on a certain person?" Sun Pan was holding his mobile phone and reading reports on the China-Korea battle on the domestic portal. The domestic media translated various reports of the Korean media about the game. Unexpectedly, he became more and more angry as he watched. When he saw Chi Dongyuan saying those words, he couldn't help it and cursed. "Is he still necessary to emphasize that football is a team sport? It makes Zhou Yi the only one in our team!"

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

When Sun Pan heard Zhou Yi say this, he became even more upset, and blue veins were about to pop out on his forehead.

During the last time between the Chinese National Olympic Team and the Korean National Olympic Team, Sun Pan made a heavy oath before the game. In that game, he also scored the Korean team and fulfilled his promise.

Logically speaking, this performance is dazzling enough, right?

But judging from the remarks of the Korean players, he still seems to be not remembered...

"Damn it! This time, we must let them remember this face of Grandpa Sun!" Sun Pan said gritting his teeth.

※※※

Chi Dongyuan's remarks not only made Sun Pan very unhappy, but also made Chinese fans very unhappy. The Chinese media naturally knew what domestic fans like to watch the most, so they consciously conducted selective reports when reporting. For example, in fact, senior Ji Chengyong, who was mentioned by Chi Dongyuan, fully expressed his admiration and respect for Zhou Yi when he was interviewed by a Korean reporter, and believed that the Chinese team not only had Zhou Yi, but also other outstanding players, which were difficult to deal with.

However, Chinese journalists have not translated this paragraph at all, or even if they have translated it, they are hidden in a large number of texts.

It’s not like Chi Dongyuan’s words, not only were they picked out as the title, but they were also highlighted in bold in the main text so that readers can see it at a glance.

This is what the Chinese media does.

The Korean media are not much better. They exaggerated the past grievances between the two sides of the game, focused on hatred, and promoted the game as a "battle of revenge". The negative remarks that Chinese fans saw when domestic media selected reports were translated into Korean, and then fed back to Korean readers and fans, guiding Korean fans to sarcasm against the Chinese team.

"Chi Dong-won is right! As a football team in the Republic of Korea, you must have such confidence when facing the Chinese team!"

"Did the Chinese team think they beat us once and then eliminate the Korean fear? We want to let them know that this is a terminal illness that cannot be cured!"

"Chi Dongyuan is so handsome! I really want to give birth to a baby for him!"

"Chi Dongyuan is so good! I have to teach the arrogant Chinese a lesson in the game!"

These are the voices of Korean fans.

Under the guidance and operation of the media from China and South Korea, the atmosphere before the game was hyped up.

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

Everyone knows that Zhou Yi doesn’t look as kind as he looks on the outside, and he also has a temper. Sometimes he is like a cactus and can pierce people.

They all hope that Zhou Yi can give some explosive answers so that they can give them room for hype.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi said in a plain expression: "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 did not cooperate, a reporter was unwilling to ask: "In the last qualifier, it was the Chinese team who defeated the South Korean team at home and asked the South Korean team to play several qualifying matches. Now South Korea thinks this is a battle of revenge. What do you think?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "I was not a player of the National Olympic Team in that game, so I don't have to comment on this matter. However, it is a normal idea to win back the loser. I don't think much about it."

Zhou Yi's performance was so low-key and calm, which really disappointed the reporters.

But do you think this will make the hype of the authors stop?

Of course it is impossible.

What do the reporters do? They specialize in stirring up water and causing trouble.

Zhou Yi doesn’t provide them with ammunition, they know they’re making it!

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

"Zhou Yi looked disdainful in the face of Chi Dong-won's challenge, and his arrogance was beyond words..." 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 so. Zhou Yi also slapped Chi Dongyuan in this way. If South Korea thinks that Chi Dongyuan's honors at a young age can make him so arrogant, then the honors received by Zhou Yi, who is similar to his age, can already stomp him in the mud!" This is the interpretation of the Chinese media.
