Chapter 517 If You Don't Like It, Tough

Actually, after Zhou Yi cursed a certain three-character reporter with the surname Zhang from *The Legal Evening News*, he didn't appear on Weibo again. News about him was all about his dedicated training and preparation.

It seemed like the matter would end there.

No one expected that after the Chinese team eliminated Brazil, Zhou Yi would revisit the old score. And this time, he cursed an opponent he had never bothered with before—previously, he had been fixated on cursing that reporter with the surname Zhang, to the point where the onlookers were in a frenzy, cheering him on.

But in fact, he had ignored another financial website that had responded to Zhou Yi's remarks at the press conference, as if he had forgotten about it, or perhaps didn't know how to respond.

Then, just when everyone was about to forget about it, he brought up the old score again, wielding his venomous tongue to directly denounce the financial website as a salted fish.

So even though it was almost dawn in China, Zhou Yi's Weibo post quickly received forwards and comments.

Many netizens congratulated Zhou Yi on reaching the finals and also said that Zhou Yi's cursing was well done.

After Zhou Yi posted this Weibo, there was no further activity. Chinese netizens speculated that he had gone back to rest, but the internet was once again stirred up.

Everyone wanted to see how the financial website would respond to Zhou Yi.

The financial website did not respond immediately.

Fifty minutes later, the financial website posted a Weibo, which, as usual, was a collection of news excerpts, mostly related to the Olympics. Some things had happened during the just-concluded Olympic competition day, and they, as a media outlet, naturally had to report on them. But it wasn't until after nine posts that there was finally one related to the Chinese National Olympic team.

In fact, given the history created by the National Olympic team that morning, this news should definitely have been ranked first, because the most eye-catching match of the Chinese delegation on this day of the Olympic Games was the semi-final between the Chinese National Olympic team and Brazil, and being able to defeat Brazil, reach the Olympic final, and secure an Olympic medal was definitely worthy of special attention.

The official Weibo accounts of many other media outlets also placed this news in the most important position, sending it out as the first item. Some media's official Weibo accounts even broadcast the entire process live during the match, excitedly announcing the result as soon as the match ended.

And what about the financial website? During the match, there was no news at all, as if the editor had gone home from work and gone to sleep. But this was clearly not the style of the financial website, because usually, if there was any match, they would definitely live broadcast it on Weibo.

This time, the financial website acted as if they didn't even know the Chinese National Olympic team had a match.

But this was understandable, because they had previously mocked the players of the National Olympic team, and they definitely didn't like the National Olympic team. Even from some of the news about Chinese football they had forwarded in the past, it could be seen that their attitude towards Chinese football was more demeaning than praise.

After sending nine consecutive Weibo posts, the tenth was finally news related to the National Olympic team, but the content was strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Congratulations to the Chinese National Olympic team for entering the London Olympic Games men's football final and securing an Olympic medal in advance. Congratulations! Should the editor consider a lottery among the friends who forward this Weibo? As for the prize, I haven't thought about it yet!"

Then, a picture of dried salted fish was attached below.

It was the financial website's usual style of cold sarcasm, indirect criticism, and sarcastic remarks. On the surface, they seemed to be saying very normal things, very normal words, but in fact, as long as you know a little about the financial website's style, you know that they especially like to smuggle in private goods, using seemingly normal remarks as a cover to cleverly conceal or highlight what they really want to express.

As soon as this Weibo came out, many netizens criticized the financial website for not daring to confront them head-on, saying that they were not real men. Zhou Yi cursed people openly and directly, dared to act and dared to take responsibility. And what about the financial website's counterattack? Concealing and covering up, wanting to scold their mothers, but also wanting to whitewash it, extremely hypocritical.

Zhou Yi did not respond to this Weibo from the financial website, and the financial website did not continue to talk about this matter. They turned a deaf ear to the overwhelming scolding under this Weibo, and for the first time, they did not randomly select the netizens who scolded him and hang them up for public display.

This may indicate that they also felt that Zhou Yi was not an easy person to mess with, which was inconsistent with their previous perception of athletes as "well-developed but simple-minded". Generally, athletes either don't argue with the media at all, and pay great attention to their image in public, or they are illogical when they curse people, and have no other means other than swearing, full of loopholes.

But this Zhou Yi was like a monster. Before this Olympic Games, his image in the media had always been very good. In fact, it is still very good now. No matter how you look at it, he is a person who pays more attention to his public image. But when he really tears people apart, he can be reasonable and well-mannered, not just swearing. This can be seen from his quarrel with a certain reporter surnamed Zhang a few days ago. There are no dirty words like "Cnm", but it is no less unpleasant than Cnm. This is actually the level.

The financial website often tears apart netizens and other media on the Internet, and its combat effectiveness is also good, but this time it is clear that he has encountered a difficult opponent. Those who use genitalia to curse him, he can also hang them out and attack them for being of low quality and full of foul language. But for an opponent like Zhou Yi, he really can't find any good way to deal with it.

Reason with Zhou Yi? The financial website was unreasonable from the beginning, and as long as he reasoned, he would definitely lose.

Curse Zhou Yi? Then he would lose even more miserably, because he couldn't beat Zhou Yi in cursing. Thinking about a person who can use Newton's second law to ridicule his opponent, how could the financial website editor's poor scientific common sense be able to curse?

So he can't do anything but sarcastically mock a few words.

In short, this matter has temporarily subsided.

However, among the vast number of onlookers, they felt that this brief confrontation between the two sides still resulted in a victory or defeat.

The winner is undoubtedly Zhou Yi, because Zhou Yi openly named and tore the financial website, and stood up for the netizens who were hung up by the financial website. And what about the financial website? They didn't even dare to respond by name, and could only secretly send a picture of salted fish to satirize Zhou Yi. Anyone with eyes and normal intelligence should be able to see who wins and who loses.

Moreover, Zhou Yi tore it up first, and tore it up so directly. As the party forced to fight, the financial website couldn't even directly scold back. They must be very aggrieved... The party who can scold people so that the other party doesn't dare to scold back and can only hold it in their hearts must be the winner.

Although the financial website did not continue to respond, Zhou Yi's angry rebuke of the financial website caused strong attention in online public opinion. The popularity of this matter was almost the same as that of the Chinese team entering the Olympic final.

While reporting on the National Olympic team's historic entry into the Olympic final, everyone will not forget to introduce what Zhou Yi posted on the Internet after the team created history... So the financial website was hung on the wall again and again. Moreover, because Zhou Yi stood up for the netizens who were hung up, and because he was strong enough in his results, what he said was reasonable, emotional, and sensational enough, it was really impossible to find any reason to criticize him.

Maybe only to say that he lacks a little grace... But after Zhou Yi unceremoniously scolded all the traitors at the press conference, this shortcoming was really not lethal to Zhou Yi...

Putting aside the brief confrontation between Zhou Yi and the financial website, the Chinese team's entry into the Olympic final was definitely the biggest news in China on August 8, and note that there are no qualifying words in front of the word "news". It's not "the biggest sports news", nor "the biggest football news", it's just the biggest news.

When some people on the Internet are still arguing about whether the influence of the Olympic Games is greater, or the influence of the World Cup is greater, the Chinese National Olympic team has made everyone understand that, at least in China, football, which is the most scolded, has the greatest influence.

When was the last time Chinese football was on *Xinwen Lianbo* (CCTV Evening News)?

It was at the beginning of last year when Zhou Yi helped the Chinese team reach the Asian Cup final, and then the Chinese team lost to Japan in the final. *Xinwen Lianbo* spent twenty seconds that night reporting on this matter.

This time, in the *Xinwen Lianbo* program at seven o'clock on the evening of August 8, the news that the Chinese National Olympic team had entered the Olympic final occupied thirty seconds, ten seconds longer than last time. The scene of Zhou Yi being interviewed after the game also appeared on the screen. Although he didn't match what he said at the time, he was considered a man who appeared in *Xinwen Lianbo*.

Being able to be on *Xinwen Lianbo* is a sign, which means that this matter is very important and everyone attaches great importance to it.

In fact, on August 8, topics about Chinese football on Weibo were hotly discussed by everyone throughout the day. The victory of this game provided a lot of material for the comedians. They showed their magical powers and used various methods to show their wit and win netizens' forwards and comments.

While cheering for the victory of Chinese football, they also looked forward to the golden generation of Chinese football in the future. Even the obsessed sisters and rotten women began to pair up the Five Little Dragons. Zhou Yi and Sun Pan's performance in this Olympic Games not only made people feel that their skills were amazing, but also gave them a deeper understanding of their character and style, and discovered the shining points outside of their football.

This day may be the happiest day for Chinese fans since October 7, 2001, not only because of the results, but also because of the voice of public opinion. This made them feel that being a Chinese fan is not a shameful thing, but a very proud and proud thing.
