River Plate's three warm-up games before the season were okay, with one win and two draws, which was a little worse than their arch-rivals Boca Juniors. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But there was not much criticism from the media, after all, the purpose of the pre-season warm-up game was purely to inspect and evaluate the competitive state of the players, and there was no need to fight with 100% strength.

However, some media outlets have begun to speculate whether Simeone should do something about the players who don't have many opportunities to play.

Indeed, in the three warm-up games before the season, Simeone had a rough idea of the first-team squad of 23 to 25 men.

The rest is left to the club.

At this time, the football group stage of the BJ Olympics has kicked off.

The eight matches in the four groups all took place the day before the opening ceremony of the Games, starting at 5 p.m. and 7:45 p.m.

The two matches of Group C of the Chinese Olympic team were held at the Shen Yang Olympic Sports Center, with the focus of the match between Brazil and Belgium at 5 o'clock, and the Chinese Olympic team and the New Zealand Olympic team at 7:45.

The schedule is still quite favorable for the Chinese team, they first face New Zealand, the weakest team in the group, then the Belgian Olympic team, and finally the Brazilian Olympic team, one of the biggest favorites to win the championship.

7:45 p.m. BJ time is equivalent to 6:45 the next morning in Argentina, which is no different from the usual work and rest time, but Tang Zheng may not be able to see the whole game, because the training time of the first team is 9 o'clock in the morning, and he has to go out at least at 8 o'clock in the morning, regardless of the time spent on the distance and the locker room.

When Tang Zheng was in a deep sleep, at the regular press conference before the first group stage of the National Olympic Games, thousands of miles away, some reporters mentioned Tang Zheng again, and they were worried about the defensive hardness of the midfield.

In this regard, whether it is the press officer of the National Olympic Games or the head coach Dujkovic, they are selectively ignoring, and they spend their time on the team's mental sustenance.

New Zealand, which played the weakest group in the first game, can be said to occupy the right time and place, and if it can't win the opponent, it will suffer from thunder.

Tang Zheng got up at half past six in the morning, and after washing, the game just started.

The game went very smoothly for the Chinese Olympic team, and the situation was almost broken in the opening three minutes, when overage player Han Peng jumped high from a free kick from the right side of Artemisia Junmin, but unfortunately the header hit the crossbar and missed the first goal in the history of Chinese football in the Olympic Games.

As time passed, the Chinese Olympic team gradually controlled the pace of the game with the cheers of the home fans.

"Zheng Zhi really has two brushes!"

Tang Zheng looked at Zheng Zhi, who stayed in Charlton, to control the rhythm of the game very well and nodded, but in fact, if he fought Zheng Zhi, he had a lot of confidence that he could freeze Zheng Zhi.

The Chinese Olympic team, which controlled the pace of the game, extended its advantage in the 32nd minute of the game, New Zealand's No. 12 defender Alder deliberately fouled the handball under Gao Lin's high-pressure pressure, and the referee on duty was aware of it and showed the opponent his second yellow card of the game and was sent off!

"Beautiful!" Even Tang Zheng, who was far away in Buenos Aires, was cheering for the local advantages obtained by the Chinese Olympic team!

But what is unexpected is that the Chinese Olympic team, which occupies the advantage of numbers on the field, will suffer a fatal blow, two minutes later, the Chinese Olympic team that was heavily pressed failed to make an offside position, and was scored a goal by the New Zealand Olympic team striker Brockie against offside and took the lead!

This result was unexpected by everyone, and even Tang Zheng was a little caught off guard.

Suddenly, he had an ominous premonition!

The New Zealand Olympic team is not so easy to win!

I don't know if Tang Zheng's hunch is particularly accurate, until Tang Zheng went out at half past eight, the Chinese Olympic team had not equalized......

※※※

“oh-yeah！！”

Tang Zheng, who was changing shoes in the first-team locker room, suddenly shouted!

"Don, what are you doing?"

Captain Ortega, who was changing his training uniform, glanced at Tang Zheng with a displeased expression.

"Ugh. Tang Zheng said with an embarrassed face: "It was our Olympic team that equalized before the end of the second half......! It's so exciting!"

"By the way, the Olympic soccer tournament has begun!"

Ahumada, the deputy of the team who had changed his clothes, suddenly remembered.

The Olympic football tournament is not particularly important in many football powers, but Argentina is different, they do not have many gold points in the Olympic Games, and Ortega, who has participated in the Olympic football tournament, can empathize with Tang Zheng, so he asked: "Who is the opponent?"

"New Zealand. ”

"New Zealand?" Ortega shook his head.

"Oh my God, you guys are so hard to play New Zealand?" said Ahumada, the deputy of the team, with an incredulous expression, but when he saw Tang Zheng's embarrassed expression, he quickly explained: "Hey, Tang, I didn't mean that, in fact, I'm curious why the Chinese Olympic team didn't call you? Little Diego has entered the Argentine Olympic team......"

Tang Zheng smiled bitterly: "Maybe they are stronger than me." ”

Falcao and Sanchez each patted Tang Zheng on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Tang Zheng told them about some of the conditions of the Chinese Olympic team in the past, so they know better than other teammates, and silence is better than sound at this time.

When the game ended, Tang Zheng sighed.

The Chinese Olympic team finally drew 1:1 at home to the weakest team in the group, the New Zealand Olympic team, which cast a shadow on their future qualification, and the next Belgian Olympic team and Brazil Olympic team are top teams......

A little-known New Zealand Olympic team can make the Chinese Olympic team suffer, not to mention the European runner-up Belgium and the South American champion Brazil?

Sure enough, the Chinese Olympic team lost 0:2 to the European runner-up Belgium in the second round of the group stage.

In this game, Tan Wangsong kicked the opponent's crotch in the seventh minute of the second half and was sent off with a direct red card, and nine minutes later, Zheng Zhi deliberately elbowed the opponent in the process of scrambling and was sentenced to death by the referee and a red card.

Coupled with the main left fullback Fan Weiwei and central defender Feng Xiaoting, who have accumulated yellow cards and are suspended, facing the strongest Brazilian Olympic team in the group, anyone who knows a little bit of football knows it...... The Chinese Olympic team is finished.

So after the game, huge boos erupted over the SY Olympic Sports Center, and countless fans chanted 'Xie Yalong is out of class'.

The press conference after the game has become a place for the domestic media to bombard the Football Association, "Sports Weekly", "Football News", "GZ Daily" and other newspapers The core issues are all focused on the employment of the National Olympic team.

But facts speak louder than words, the three goals conceded by the Chinese Olympic team are all from the opponent's middle penetration and passing, that is to say, the Chinese Olympic team's middle defense is extremely poor, if Tang Zheng, who plays for River Plate, is present, with his excellent ability to read the game and running ability, he will be able to delay the opponent's attack most effectively, and even use his accurate long pass to increase the success rate of the national Olympic team's counterattack.

Now there are two games, one draw and one loss, although there is no direct death sentence, but people with a little common sense know that it is impossible for the current Chinese Olympic team to defeat the Brazilian Olympic team.

What's more, the Chinese Olympic team in the last round will be absent from the four main forces?

The Chinese Olympic team, which is on the verge of elimination, has become a major feature of the local Olympic Games, and when all events go hand in hand, only the Chinese Olympic team is the only one who is pulling back, causing many foreign media and fans to ridicule.

At this time, Tang Zheng, who was far away in Argentina, was preparing for the first game of the 2008-2009 season of the A-League Spring League, and they challenged Atletico Cologne away.

With goals from Falcao and Cabrral, River Plate beat home side Atletico Cologne 2-0 away to finish third on goal difference.

In the second round of the league, River Plate sat at home to face Rosario Central, but before that, Tang Zheng was most concerned about the Chinese Olympic team facing the Brazilian Olympic team in the final round.

As a Chinese, Tang Zheng still has a hint of illusion, maybe the Chinese Olympic team will win the Brazilian Olympic team in the final round, and the Belgian Olympic team will lose to the New Zealand Olympic team, and then the Chinese Olympic team will qualify by virtue of goal difference.

But fantasy is always fantasy, and it can't be put on the stage.

There are not so many miracles in the world, and the Chinese Olympic team defeated the Brazilian Olympic team led by Ronaldinho 0:3.

The process of the game once made Tang Zheng incomprehensible, Dujkovic actually let striker Han Peng play central defender, and Hao Junmin played fullback, which was extremely ridiculous.

The Chinese Olympic team has not won one of the three games in the group, scored only one goal, ranked third in the group with a goal difference, and was eliminated.

The most angry are undoubtedly the lovely fans who love Chinese football deeply, they have always treated Chinese football as their first love, but they have been hurt by Chinese football again and again.

Tang Zheng, who once witnessed the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup without scoring a single goal and conceding nine goals, can deeply understand the mood of those fans at this time.

……

Since the National Olympic team drew with the New Zealand Olympic team, "Xie Yalong's resignation" has become the most mentioned sentence by Chinese fans.

In the next two games, there were few cheers in the stands of the group stage at the SY Olympic Sports Center, and more chanting 'Xie Yalong step down'!

The on-site director is also very good at finding faults, and while the stands erupted again and again, he gave Xie Yalong a close-up of his face.

When Tang Zheng was preparing for the second round of the league against Rosario Central at home, domestic fans were building momentum all the time, hoping that Xie Yalong would step down.

Since Xie Yalong came to power in 2005, he has not made any contribution to Chinese football, but has led to a significant decline in the strength of China's men's and women's football teams, among which the women's football team has changed from a world-class team to a second-rate team in Asia, which is heart-wrenching.

Now that the gambling Olympics have also been shattered, coupled with the rout of the top 20 of the Asian World Cup in South Africa at the beginning of the year, Xie Yalong is now undoubtedly a street rat in the eyes of fans.

In a popular phrase – Chinese football has been played badly.
