The Chinese fans in the stands erupted in earth-shattering cheers at this time, in fact, they also knew that the chances of beating the Brazilian team were very small, and it was already a surprise to be able to score a goal.

Even the Brazilian commentator was shocked by Ding Huaiyi's handsome ox tail action just now: "Oh! China pulled a goal back, but most of the credit went to the assisters. ”

Shortly after Zou Weijia's goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, and Brazil beat China 3-1, who had completed a period of Olympic dark horse journey, while Brazil reached the championship and runners-up final, and they were one step closer to Brazil's first Olympic football gold medal in history.

After the game, the Brazilian coach praised the Chinese Olympic team a few words, and good words are not worth it at this time anyway.

It is also rare for the domestic media to comfort the national football team after the loss, and everyone summed up the game with the dignified defeat of the Chinese team, and Ding Huaiyi, who assisted, and Zou Weijia, who scored the goal, were praised to a new height.

Perhaps the match with Brazil exhausted everyone's passion, although the next bronze medal match between the Chinese team and Nigeria can be won, everyone is still far from paying much attention to this game.

In recent years, Nigerian football has been relatively poor, the status of domestic football has also declined, and many players do not want to miss the club's pre-season preparations for the Olympics, including Iheanacho, Simon, Iwobi and Suses and other slightly famous players are absent for various reasons, only Mikel, who cannot play the main role at Chelsea, is the biggest big name.

What's even funnier is that on the trip to Brazil, they also had a fuss, and when the team flew to the United States for a connecting flight, they were told by the airline that the ticket money from Atlanta to Rio had not arrived. With 36 hours to go before the opening game of the Olympic Games, the Nigerian Olympic team was left in a hotel in Atlanta, waiting for the domestic football federation to help solve the problem of air tickets.

Although in the end, the president of Nigeria stepped in to coordinate, and the Nigerian Ministry of Sports, which was in charge of air tickets, took care of the matter, which still left countless people with a laughing stock.

If you think this is the most oolong thing, you're wrong.

Before the match between Nigeria and China, an even bigger oolong appeared, and the Brazilian organizing committee misplaced the Nigerian national anthem.

After the national anthem of the Chinese team was played, it was Nigeria's turn to play the national anthem, and the Nigerian players were also solemn and ready to sing with the national anthem, but when the singing sounded again, all the players in Nigeria were confused and didn't know what song was playing at the scene. Some Nigerian fans asked each other on social networks, is this the national anthem of Venezuela or Gabon?

Perhaps affected by the national anthem oolong incident, Nigeria's players were obviously a little inattentive after the opening, only half a minute after the kick-off, their central defender Ekong actually passed the ball to Nie Jiang's feet when he played the ball in the backfield, how could Nie Jiang let go of this big gift, he immediately accelerated to Nigeria's penalty area.

Ekong, who is 1.92 meters tall, has a great ability to dominate the air, but it won't work when he turns around, in order to make up for his mistakes, he was left behind by Nie Jiang and knocked Nie Jiang to the ground directly from behind, hoping that the referee will think that this is a reasonable physical confrontation.

However, the referee did not give him a chance to explain, but directly showed a yellow card and awarded a penalty to the Chinese Olympic team.

In the face of the penalty, Nie Jiang made it overnight, turning the score into 1:0.

The next game is easy to play, although the Nigerian players are generally very strong, but the coordination of their overall midfield pressure is not too strong, the Chinese Olympic team began to frequently control the ball in the midfield, while the Nigerian side is playing more and more urgently.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Azubuike received a yellow card for a foul on Xu Mingyu in midfield, and as a defensive midfielder, this yellow card is deadly, which means that unless he does not worry about being carded again, Nigeria's midfield defense will become timid.

But Nigeria, which is behind, can't manage so much now, and it is important to equalize first.

As a result, most of the Nigerian players on the field pressed through the half, attacking around the Chinese Olympic team, and then the National Olympic side counterattacked, and they desperately chased back.

However, I have to say that the physical fitness of Nigeria's players is really good, and the running ability, running speed and physical confrontation ability of these players are obviously stronger than those of the Chinese Olympic team.

From 33 minutes, because of the hot weather, the referee suspended the game, and the two sides went to rehydrate as you can see, the Nigerian side hurried back to the field after rehydration, and captain Mikel even went over to remind the referee, hoping to continue the game soon.

The Nigerian players were so anxious that they almost conceded again.

In the 37th minute, a big foot in the backfield of Nigeria drove to the front, and the pass was pushed down by Du Zhenyu, and then Qin Minghao did not make any stop after taking the ball, and turned directly to pass the ball to the front court.

The Nigerian side, which reacted, could only adopt foul tactics again, and their No. 2 Seth reached out and put a hand on Nie Jiang's shoulder, bringing Nie Jiang to the ground who was running at high speed.

The referee also gave the Nigerian side a package of yellow cards and free kicks, and Nie Jiang alone made the Nigerian side pay a heavy price.

In the last game, the gap in the overall strength of the team, it was difficult for Nie Jiang to get the support of his teammates in the frontcourt, which made Nie Jiang shoot at the end of the game, and he completely disappeared from the field at other times.

Now the breath he was holding in his chest was finally vented on the field, and he turned the Nigerian backline upside down by himself.

When the first half ended, the Chinese Olympic team led Nigeria 1:0 and took the lead.

After the start of the second half, Nigeria changed its strategy, with Mikel as the core of the middle play very little, including Mikel pulled to the wing, they began to use the advantage of physical confrontation, in the sideline is relatively narrow to seek physical confrontation, frequently from the two wings of the bottom.

Nigeria's deliberately seeking confrontation and strengthening the front court foul style of play made the national Olympic team very uncomfortable, especially Ding Huaiyi on the left side, his physical fitness is not very good, and he is a player who is a big threat when he has the ball.

In the eleventh minute of the second half, Ding Huaiyi was kicked in the back by the opponent's right fullback Wei Shehu again, and this time he was angry and directly slammed into the opponent.

The referee hurriedly came over to separate the two people, and then called them to his side one by one, first gave Ding Huaiyi a yellow card, and then gave Shehu a yellow card, warning him to be careful with the small actions in the future.

In the seventeenth minute, he insisted on taking the ball to Shehu, but was held by the opponent with his body and broke the ball, and Nigeria got a very good chance to counterattack.

In order to intercept Nigeria's counterattack, Qi Ming had to pay the price of a yellow card to intercept the opponent outside the penalty area, and also gave the opponent a very well-placed free kick.

Rick Link was thunderous on the sidelines, and after Nigeria's free kick was high, he replaced Ding Huaiyi, and now the score of 1:0 is indeed not a safe score, and the whole team cannot be affected because of personal emotions.

It was Ni Kai, who made his first appearance in the Olympics at this time.

For Ni Kai, a small winger, Nigeria is obviously careless.

is also a winger, Ni Kai and Ding Huaiyi are very different, this is a player who relies on absolute speed to eat, Shehu also thinks that he is physically strong, and he can snatch Ni Kai's ball with a light lean, but as a result, he suffered a big loss.

In the twenty-third minute of the second half, Ni Kai took the ball on the side, Shehu came to defend, but Ni Kai suddenly started without reason, Shehu also didn't expect the opponent's explosiveness to be so strong, Shehu who defended in a normal state was a step slower, when Ni Kai had already put the ball out, his feet arrived, and after Ni Kai was mixed by him, he rolled on the ground for no less than five laps before stopping.

Shehu was obviously also frightened by Ni Kai, thinking that he had caused a major foul to the other party, but in fact, the main reason for such a visually striking foul was that the weight difference between the two was too great. Shehu, who is 1.78 meters tall, has nearly 140 pounds, while Ni Kai, who is only 1.72 meters tall, is only just 130 pounds.

With such a large difference in weight, Ni Kai's violation was infinitely magnified.

Ricklink, who was on the sidelines, hurriedly complained to the fourth official about Shehu's foul, and the referee also rushed to the scene of the incident, and without thinking about it, he took out a yellow card and gave Shehu, and then the ruby card came out, and Shehu was sent off.

At the same time, the team doctor of the National Olympic team also rushed into the field and hurriedly checked Ni Kai.

Fortunately, although Ni Kai rolled very hard just now, in fact, most of it was to protect himself, after the team doctor sprayed his leg with a few sprays, Ni Kai limped up, was helped to the sidelines, and after drinking a few sips of water, returned to the field.

The Chinese teams in the stands also stood up collectively and applauded Ni Kai, encouraging him while not praising him for taking the opposing players off the field.

Nigeria, which has one less player, did not care at this time, and the head coach replaced Amuzeya with Aitberg, which was a change in the front court for the front court, and did not reduce the number of people in the front court because of the lack of defenders.

This kind of desperate substitution, the bet is to fight, the bicycle becomes a motorcycle, if it can't change to a motorcycle, the bicycle will fall apart.

The frenzied Nigerians did put a lot of pressure on the Chinese Olympic team, and after Ettberg came on, they got three shots on goal in just ten minutes, as well as two corners.

In the 35th minute of the second half, Nigeria made another substitution, with the taller Madu replacing the starting centre-forward Ezegel, and the team specialized in playing golf.

Rick Link also made targeted substitutions, and Xiong Jian, who had stronger defensive ability, replaced Xu Mingyu and vowed to defend to the end.

In the 40th minute of the second half, Nigeria even used the last resort, with taller defender Ezimya replacing Saiss, except for midfielder Azubuuk, who left behind, and they brought the team's high point into the field.

In the first minute of extra time, Nigeria's big foot drove into the penalty area of the Chinese team, and Zengcheng picked the ball off, and then Zengcheng drove a big foot to the front, Nie Jiang rushed through the half, and Azubuke went to compete for the header, but the taller Nie Jiang had the advantage, and he took the ball out one step ahead of Azubuk.

Azubuke didn't think about it, just hugged his waist and stopped Nie Jiang, and waited until the foul was over before he reacted that he had a yellow card, and when the referee rushed over to give him a second yellow card, he didn't argue and went straight off.

Azubuike's dismissal hit Nigeria too hard, the players completely lost the confidence to equalize, and the national Olympic team slowly sent out the free kick and poured the ball to the backfield, and they dragged it out.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, everyone in the national Olympic team rushed into the stadium, and everyone began to celebrate this historic moment, which was also a breakthrough for Chinese football in the history of the Olympic Games, they won the bronze medal in the Brazilian Olympic Games.

A few years ago, no fan dared to think that the men's team of China's three major balls could win medals in the Olympic arena, especially for football, countless people made countless excuses, some people raised to the so-called inferior nature of the Chinese - one Chinese is a dragon, three Chinese are three worms, and the Chinese football team is a slug; some people ignore the history of Japan and South Korea winning Olympic bronze medals, and swear that football is not suitable for yellow people, let alone Chinese.

The bronze medal of the Chinese team this time can be regarded as overturning all the previous fallacies, and the third-place result proves that as long as there is a wide selection of materials, scientific methods are used to train players, and then there is enough patience, Chinese can still play football.

What Zhang Sheng didn't know was that in reality, after the development of the Chinese Super League, relying on those young players, the Chinese team was able to defeat South Korea and Uzbekistan in the top 12, breaking one fear of X after another.

And in Zhang Sheng's case, the emergence of more excellent players, it is not inconceivable to win a bronze medal in the Olympic Games where many teams are not very valued.

In addition to the overall results of the team, the individual results of the Chinese Olympic team in this Olympic Games are also very good. Among them, Nie Jiang's six goals are ranked as the top scorer along with Germany's Gnabry and Peterson, and even Zou Weijia is as many as Neymar with four goals.

Nie Jiang won the best player in this Olympics with the first two.

The 18-year-old has won both of these accolades again after the World Junior Championships, and it can be said that he is hot right now.
