Chapter 153: The Opening of the Olympic Games (Part II)
The first half led 2-1, but the players and coaches of the Portuguese team were not satisfied with this, after all, although the Chinese Olympic team won the Olympic championship four years ago, their overall strength is still very weak in world football, so teams like some European countries do not look down on the Chinese team at all, although the Chinese team has Liu Han.

After the start of the second half, the Portuguese team's offensive became more intense, but the back line composed of Liu Han and Zheng Zhi completed the task of protecting the backfield very well, and the Chinese team did not passively take a beating, after gradually adapting to the rhythm of the game, the Chinese team's attack also threatened the door of the Portuguese team.
In the 14th minute of the second half, the Portuguese team's midfield pass was too casual and was cut off by Zheng Zhi, he fell to the ground and lay on the ground and stabbed the ball to Liu Han in front of him.
Although the tactics of the Chinese team this time are mainly based on midfield control, their traditional defensive counterattack has not been lost, and with the growth of young players, the counterattack of the Chinese team is more sharp and fast than before.
After Liu Han dribbled the ball past the center circle, Portugal's midfielder immediately came up to make up for the defense, and at the same time, players in other positions of the Portuguese team were also active in defending back.
Liu Han didn't have any feints in the face of the defense, it was a simple button, and the Portuguese team's back was thrown behind him, and this change of direction in high-speed travel was very easy to pass.
Liu Han firmly controlled the ball at his feet, at this time he had reached 35 meters in front of the goal, the Portuguese team formation has been panicked, in the face of such a situation, Liu Han and Cheng Tao played a quick two-over two hit the wall to cooperate, and then Liu Han suddenly kicked up five meters outside the big penalty area to pick up the pass, Zhang Yuning, who was originally in an offside position, did not move at all at this time, and Yan Song, who was diagonally inserted on the other side, scored with a shovel against the ball, and the Chinese team equalized when the game was close to 60 minutes.
The Chinese team's equalizer made the mentality of the Portuguese team's players begin to be unbalanced, and the young Cristiano? Ronaldo is still thinking about how to show his individual qualities, he has not yet fully integrated into the team, and the rest of the Portuguese team has begun to show impatience.
In the 80th minute of the game, Cheng Tao was directly tackled by the opponent when receiving the ball seven meters outside the penalty area, and the Chinese team won a direct free kick.
Liu Han and Cheng Tao stood in front of the ball, and the Portuguese team watched the warm-up match of the Chinese team before the game, and they did not dare to be careless in the face of Liu Han or Cheng Tao's free kick.
When the whistle sounded, Liu Han and Cheng Tao started at the same time, but Liu Han's speed was faster, and his movements were very realistic, making everyone think that he was about to shoot.
However, just after the human wall formed by the Portuguese team players jumped, Liu Han stepped directly over the ball.
Cheng Tao, who followed Liu Han behind him, directly hit the ball in an arc and hung it in the upper right corner of the Portuguese team's goal.
In the face of a theoretical blind corner shot, the Portuguese goalkeeper could only look at the ball and sigh, and the Chinese team overtook the score before the end of the game.
After that, the Portuguese team tried to organize a counterattack but was blocked by the Chinese team, and finally in this Olympic group stage Group D match, the Chinese team defeated the strongest Portuguese team in the group 3-2.
The Chinese team, which has made a good start in the group stage, can go to the opening ceremony with a happy mood.
As the performances in the Olympic Stadium in Athens continued, the atmosphere of the opening ceremony reached a climax, and the long history and culture of Greece were integrated into the performance, allowing the audience to truly experience the charm of one of the four ancient civilizations.
In the waiting area, athletes from all countries began to line up, and after the performance outside, it was time for the athletes from each country to line up.
In the area of the Chinese sports delegation, some Chinese athletes are being looked at curiously by athletes from other countries around them, after all, this is the host country of the next Olympic Games, and this country seems so mysterious to many people.
Among these scrutiny eyes, a large part of them are towards Liu Han, and the most legendary figure in the world sports is definitely the one that attracts everyone's attention the most.
And Yao Min, the tallest and most conspicuous in the Chinese sports delegation, is also watched by many people, after all, Yao Min is the first foreign champion in the NBA, and his performance in the NBA is also obvious to all.
However, Yao Min didn't pay much attention to the athletes from other countries in the team, because he was now chatting enthusiastically with a good-looking but tall female player in the women's basketball team.
After starting to gain weight in the United States, Yao Min did not have the skinny feeling he used to have, and at the same time after two seasons of training, his personality gradually matured, and at the same time he became cheerful, he is really not easy to find a girlfriend at a height of two meters and twenty-six, but this does not prevent him from pursuing the person he likes.
Finally, it was the turn of the Chinese sports delegation to appear, Liu Han shook the five-star red flag in his hand and led the team with proud steps.
Anna, who is far away in the capital, saw Liu Han's appearance through the live broadcast, she is now in the special care ward of the hospital, and the due date has arrived, although Liu Han can't watch the birth of his child by his side, but the Zhao family's care for Anna is still all-round.
Compared with the appearance of athletes from several small countries in the past, the cheers received by the Chinese sports delegation when they appeared were much louder, not to mention that many Chinese and ethnic Chinese in Europe chose to come to Athens to watch the opening ceremony, and even Liu Han's influence also brought a lot of applause to the Chinese delegation.
Although the Greeks are notoriously lazy and casual, and their country's high welfare system allows many people to live freely (the country later went bankrupt because of its high welfare system for politicians), which also makes Greeks not care about many things, but Greeks are still very fond of football and basketball, and it just so happens that Liu Han has reached a high level in both sports and has a huge influence around the world. This makes Liu Han have a high reputation in Greece, and many Greeks don't know China at all, but they know and understand a lot of things about Liu Han.
The Greeks showed their warmth and hospitality, and the Chinese athletes showed their style, this time as guests, and in four years they will be the hosts, when the Chinese will set a benchmark for the Olympics and let the world truly recognize China's rise.
Liu Han waved the national flag from time to time, but his heart had already flown back to the capital, and what he couldn't let go of was Anna and the soon-to-be-born child.
