It seems that not many people have done this before calling teammates to meet up for a meeting after losing the ball. Generally, as the captain, the leader will use words and actions to boost morale after losing the ball. This is normal, but if you have a meeting... what kind of meeting is held?

Although the players of the National Olympic Team were surprised, they still followed Zhou Yi's words and gathered together, even the forward He Ying was no exception.

While the Japanese team celebrated the goal, the Chinese team players returned to the penalty area and surrounded Zhou Yi.

"It's no big deal, it's just a goal loss." Zhou Yi said in the crowd. "This is the final. Those who can reach the final are not ordinary people. It's not surprising that they score a goal. The key is what to do after we lose the ball? Have you found that the Japanese team used the pressing tactic in this game, so we were all very uncomfortable. The concealment of the ball was actually caused by discomfort. It's nothing great. We haven't encountered the force surround, right? Isn't it the Korean team? What happened in the end? We can't eliminate it? So as long as we stabilize our mentality and deal with them slowly, there is nothing to be afraid of. In fact, we have many opportunities. The more they grab, the more loopholes they will get."

Instead of hoarsely encouraging the morale of his teammates, Zhou Yi analyzed the situation facing both sides in a very calm tone.

Japan's pressing tactics did catch the Chinese team off guard after the game started, which made the Chinese Olympic team's players very uncomfortable.

But after listening to Zhou Yi's words, everyone's hearts gradually calmed down. He was right. We have seen this when facing South Korea. The Korean team is the best at playing like this. Wasn't we still killed?

Can the Japanese team be more powerful than the Korean team in this last match?

"Yes, hit their counterattack! Just pass the ball to the frontcourt!" Someone also made a suggestion.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Yi shook his head and denied his suggestion: "No, we can't do this yet. Although there are a lot of room behind their defense line, if we counterattack under their pressing, we will only make more mistakes. Once the ball is lost, we will face their attack. So when the ball is under our feet, don't rush to pass the ball forward, but you still have patience. If they want to win in chaos, then we can't mess around. If they want to play speed, then we will play Tai Chi with them!"

Zhou Yi said it very vividly, and everyone nodded to show that they understood.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi clapped his hands: "Okay, we've finished celebrating, let's go back to our respective positions."

Everyone dispersed, Yang Muge followed Zhou Yi and walked out of the forbidden area, and suddenly asked, "But Zhou Yi, that Yamaguchi Firefly has been following you..."

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "It's nothing, he just follows if he likes."

"But it's obvious that they target you..."

"I haven't learned this from you, Lao Yang. I wonder if they have watched the video of Dortmund and Schalke 04's game."

After Zhou Yi said this, Yang Muge was speechless. In that game, he almost defended Zhou Yi like this...

Seeing that Yang Muge was silent, Zhou Yi smiled: "Okay, don't worry. You were so careful of me in that game. Did you win? No, so they can't win this game either."

He spread his hands out.

When Yang Muge heard him say this, he really didn't know whether to be happy or depressed - he defended Zhou Yi so much, but he couldn't stop Dortmund from winning, so Zhou Yi used this to prove that the Japanese team could not curb him.

But there is another question: "The strength of Dortmund players and ours..."

"Are you doubting yourself, Lao Yang?" Zhou Yi asked back.

"no."

"Then are you suspicious of other teammates?"

"Of course not!" Yang Muge waved his hand quickly.

"Will that be the end? I admit that our overall strength is not as good as Dortmund, but the Japanese team is not as good as Schalke 04. So we can still win."

After conceding the ball, China's coaching seat and bench were originally shrouded in a shadow, but soon everyone saw the players gathered together under the call of Zhou Yi...

"What are you doing, Jiang?" Brazevic asked his translator Jiang Xiaojun.

"Uh, I don't know..." Jiang Xiaojun looked confused. But he quickly found the answer: "It should be to boost morale, just like everyone got together before the game started..."

Brazevic nodded. He was very satisfied with Zhou Yi's performance. Although he lost the ball, he saw Zhou Yi's leadership ability. After Zhou Yi joined the National Olympic Team, there was still a debate within the coaching team about the candidate for the captain. He wanted Zhou Yi to take over the captain's armband, but some people in the coaching team expressed opposition, believing that the original captain Zhang Linpeng did a good job and suddenly changed the captain before the Olympics was a blow to the team's morale and would shake people's hearts. What would Zhang Linpeng, who was deprived of the captain's armband, think? Whether Zhou Yi, who was airborne, had the ability to become a convincing captain, is also a question. Although he is famous and has outstanding achievements, the leadership ability in the locker room does not all depend on fame and performance.

In the end, Brazevic refused to oppose the crowd and insisted on letting Zhou Yi be the captain.

Zhou Yi did not refuse to be polite and just took over the captain's armband.

Now it seems that my original decision can be described as "wise and magical martial arts".

This captain has really helped me so much...

On the Japanese coaching seat and bench, I also fell into a carnival after scoring the goal. Head coach Takashi Katsuka and assistant coach Muto Jue and Miyako Okura hugged each other.

They were so excited that they thought their tactics had worked, which means they had the right bet!

It was actually a taboo to suddenly decide to change the usual tactics before the game and adopt a brand new and not very familiar tactic. But in order to win, sometimes you need to make some unusual choices and take necessary risks. This is a gambling, and luckily, they bet right!

After celebrating the goal, Takashi Kanzuka shouted to the players on the sidelines: "Just play like this, keep pushing them! Grab them! Try to get another one!"

According to Takashi Katsuka's inherent impression of Chinese football, he believes that the Chinese team will fall into chaos after losing the ball. As long as the Japanese team continues to increase the intensity of siege, they can defeat their opponents! The biggest weakness of Chinese players is that they have a bad mentality and psychological problems. When they encounter difficulties, they are prone to falling into a state of being unruly and have too weak resistance to pressure.

He has specifically analyzed that at this Olympic Games, the Chinese Olympic team has been smooth sailing all the way. They have never conceded the ball first in the game, scored the ball first, and played the ball well. So once they fell behind in the game, Chinese players who were not prepared for it may fall into a state of being indifferent.

The Japanese team's ball was like a basin of ice water pouring on the heads of Chinese players, which would extinguish their fighting spirit!

While celebrating with his own people, Takashi Katsuka missed the scene where Zhou Yi gathered his teammates together. If he had seen it, he might not have thought so...

His impression of Chinese players is basically accurate, and the vast majority of Chinese players are still the same until now. But this does not represent all Chinese players, especially the current national Olympic team.

Takashi Katsuka's research is obviously not in-depth and serious enough...

A scene that Takashi Kagawa, who was sitting in the VIP box, saw it clearly.

When he saw Zhou Yi gathering his teammates together, he had a bad premonition.

Although he couldn't hear what Zhou Yi said, he could imagine that Zhou Yi must be comforting people's hearts.

This team was not defeated by a sudden loss of the ball, which is what Shinji Kagawa cares most.

The Chinese team still has combat effectiveness...

Because the Chinese team lost the ball, the Chinese team kicked off after the game started again.

The Japanese team now wants the Chinese team to control the ball, so that they can grab it. After a goal was squeezed, the Japanese team tasted the sweetness.

When the Japanese team players rushed up to grab the game, the Japanese fans on the scene and in front of the TV were excited to cheer for the Japanese team.

They seemed to have seen the Chinese players being in a hurry and at a loss when they were hit by the Japanese players...

But it was a little different from what they imagined. Football was passed around at the feet of the Chinese Olympic team players, but it was not in a hurry or in a mess.

Especially Zhou Yi, although he was surrounded by Yamaguchi Teng, Yamaguchi Teng could only stop him from controlling the ball and stopping the ball. Once he directly passed the football without stopping at his feet, Yamaguchi Teng would not have any good solutions.

And Zhou Yi can really pass the ball completely without stopping.

In Yamaguchi Takashi's opinion, he was like a man who knew in advance where to pass the football, so when the ball came, he had already made adjustments so that when the football rolled, he could directly send the football to where it should go.

It’s nothing to do with a few kicks occasionally, everyone can do it, but it’s terrible to keep doing this, always like this.

Moreover, his direct pass is not just a simple return pass. He can even pass forward - using his heel to knock the football between Yamaguchi's legs.

However, this can only slow down the Japanese team's offense, and it is difficult for them to organize any decent offensives.
