The re-ignition of the Olympic flame in Athens was a reincarnation in the history of human civilization.

Liu Han once again stood at the forefront of the Chinese Olympic sports delegation with the Chinese national flag.

Although Liu Handang was the flag bearer of the 2000 Olympic Games, he still served as the flag bearer this time, and I believe that no one will have any objections, after all, Liu Han is now a representative figure of Chinese sports and has a wide range of influence and admirers around the world.

A total of 407 athletes participated in the Chinese delegation in this Olympic Games, which is the largest number in recent years, compared with the last Olympic Games, the Chinese team in this Olympic Games has participated in a more extensive and comprehensive project, they are now not only in some traditional advantageous projects occupy a great advantage, even some of the previous weak projects have made great progress, in addition to the men's volleyball team in the three major balls, other men's and women's events actually have the strength to compete for medals.

This time, the color of the Chinese delegation's clothing adopts a pattern of red and white, the male athletes' formal wear is a red suit and white slacks, and the female athletes are a white casual suit and a red knee-length skirt.

Some of the athletes wore traditional Greek olive branch garlands on their heads, which were given out by the staff after they entered the venue.

Although Liu Han is holding the national flag, he is still a little busy, because from time to time, there will be Olympic volunteers from Greece or athletes from other countries running up to Liu Han to ask for autographs.

Although this is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Liu Han has already participated in an Olympic men's football match before today.

A day earlier, Liu Han had played against the players of the men's national Olympic team and the first opponent in the group, and the strongest opponent, Portugal.

Facing Portugal, the top team of European technical schools, the Chinese team did play quite hard at the beginning of the game.

The players of the Chinese team are weaker than the Portuguese team in terms of technical level and physical condition, which makes them quite passive at the beginning of the game.

Many of the Portuguese squad are playing for the biggest clubs in their home countries, but there are also players who play for the big European teams, such as Cristiano, who is only 19 years old and now plays for Manchester United. Ronaldo and Boamot, who plays for Fulham, especially the young Cristiano? Ronaldo, this young man is not only extremely fast, but also has a very gorgeous technique at his feet, otherwise he would not have been able to start at Manchester United at such a young age.

The team was in a passive state, Liu Han had to retreat to participate in the defense, and the two wingers were completely compressed by the opponent to their own half and could not move.

The Portuguese team started with a very fierce momentum.

However, after Liu Han retreated and everyone in the Chinese team participated in the defense, the situation gradually stabilized.

Young Cristiano? Ronaldo is playing with his footwork, and he seems to want to prove his quality to everyone, especially in front of the legendary Liu Han.

In the first face-to-face between the two, Liu Han mercilessly sent Ronaldo and the ball out of the sideline with a flying tackle, Ronaldo wailed painfully on the sidelines, as if to say to the referee, look, this person is a butcher, but the referee's whistle didn't think about it at all, because he saw it clearly, there was no problem with this tackle, Liu Han's feet were very clean, and the ball was touched by this Portuguese kid out of the sideline.

After gradually stabilizing the situation, the Chinese team began to play its own characteristics, they may not be as good as each other in terms of foot work and physical fitness, but they have Liu Han, with Liu Han, the Chinese team will not lack strategy and passing in the midfield, as long as each player runs, as long as he runs with Liu Han's running, the ball will always be in motion.

After repeatedly falling down more than ten times in the midfield, Liu Han suddenly kicked over the top and made a long pass, Zhang Yuning rushed to the ball, but he was not very steady when receiving the ball, and the next adjustment also took a big step, and the ball was finally confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Although the Chinese team's attack did not yield, it also showed its determination to the opponent.

The game gradually tended to be balanced, Liu Han consciously moved towards the left side of his side, that is, the right side of the opponent, he saw Cristiano? Ronaldo's threat, Liu Han doesn't want to have too much pressure on his own left side.

Under Liu Han's defensive tilt, the Portuguese team's attack on the right side really weakened a lot, but at this time, the Chinese team's own defense on the right side had a problem, the Portuguese defender hit the right side of the Chinese team with a tentative big foot long pass, and the right back Xu Liang stopped the ball and made a mistake, and the ball was snatched away by the opposing striker Boamott.

Boamot faced Feng Xiaoting's defense and directly pulled out his right foot to shoot from outside the penalty area, Chinese goalkeeper Angel couldn't save, the ball hung into the corner and went into the goal, and the Portuguese team opened the scoring in the 24th minute of the first half.

To a certain extent, this goal made the young people of the Chinese team very defensive, and the next attack of the Portuguese team became more and more strong.

Ten minutes later, it was Boamot who took the ball and forced Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi was helpless to foul, and the Portuguese team won a direct free kick from 28 meters outside the penalty area.

Cristiano, who was completely stared at by Liu Han before? Ronaldo once again broke the Chinese door with a very beautiful free-kick, and Portugal took a 2-0 lead in the first half.

After conceding the ball again, Liu Han did not rush to kick off, but yelled loudly at his teammates: "Don't be in a hurry, be steady, hit our rhythm, one kick, one kick pass." ”

As the captain, Liu Han must step up at a critical moment.

Before the end of the half, the Chinese team finally played a decent attack in the midfield, still Liu Han's non-stop running and response, and the Chinese team gradually penetrated into the 30 meters on the left side of the Portuguese team.

Yu Tao, the right forward of the Chinese team, suddenly transferred a horizontal pass after receiving the ball, Song Xiang, who was inserted on the left side of the Chinese team, did not stop the ball and directly padd the ball with his left foot, and Zhang Yuning suddenly turned around from the Portuguese team's defenders, and did not wait for the ball to land and volleyed directly with his left foot, and the ball flew straight into the door of the Portuguese team.

Many of the players in the Portugal squad were former teammates of Zhang Yuning, but they were a little careless before half-time.

Although Liu Han did not directly score the goal and assist, it was his leadership that made the Portuguese team's defense concentrate on the left side of his side.
