After the victory over Australia, the men's national Olympic team has once again become the focus of attention of domestic and even world media.

In the history of the Olympic Games, there have been three countries that have defended the Olympic men's football title, they are England in 1908 and 1912, Uruguay in 1924 and 1928, the most recent is Hungary in 1964 and 1968, but the record of defending the title in these years is really nothing, in this era of smaller and smaller countries, the development of football is also like an information explosion. Therefore, there is a huge difference between the competitive level and the intensity of confrontation in modern football compared with decades ago, and after entering the eighties of the last century, no country has ever been able to defend the men's football championship of the Olympic Games, which shows the global development of football from a certain level.

And now the Chinese men's national Olympic team has once again entered the semi-finals of this Olympic Games after winning the championship of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, which not only shows the development of Chinese football, but also means that it is possible to give birth to a national Olympic team that has successfully defended its title in the new era.

The Chinese Olympic team's opponent in the semi-finals will be Paraguay from South America.

Paraguay is one of the few countries that has not established diplomatic relations with China, and its presence in the world is very small, and some people in China often confuse this country with Uruguay.

Paraguay's football has been played very early, and the Paraguayan team participated in the first World Cup in history, but in South America, where there are many powerful countries, the Paraguayan team is also not strong.

Paraguay's most recognizable star is none other than Chilavert, the most goal-scoring goalkeeper known in world football for his bold style.

In addition to Chilavert, the Paraguayan stars that Chinese fans can know are Santa Cruz and Gombos, the former now plays for the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, and the latter is a foreign aid who won the League A back then, Gombos also won the honor of Chinese Footballer in 1997 and is well known to Beijing fans.

However, there is no well-known star in the Paraguayan Olympic team, with Chilavert retiring and Santa Cruz at the right age missing due to injury.

In the face of unfamiliar opponents, what the Chinese team has to do is to be cautious and cautious, be cautious and careful, but although the Paraguayan team successfully advanced to the semifinals, their back line has a big problem, in the quarterfinals, the Paraguayan team was twice broken through by the South Korean team, if it is not for the forward force, maybe it will be the South Korean team that advances to the semifinals.

The match starts at 21 o'clock local time on August 24 in Athens, and it is already 2 o'clock in the morning Beijing time on August 25.

After the start of the game, the Paraguayan team kicked off first, their players' foot skills are good, but they do not exceed the Chinese team too much, and in terms of physical fitness, the Paraguayan team players are generally more flexible, but the body is not tall, as long as the Chinese team's back line is not a big accident, there is no big problem.

Paraguay also put a lot of troops into the midfield, and their attacking style of play is still the kind of ground advance attack of the South American team, and the cooperation between the players is quite tacit.

At the beginning, the Chinese team did not compete with the opponent in the midfield, Liu Han and Zheng Zhi both retreated to defend, and the Chinese team has been on the defensive.

After ten minutes, the Chinese team gradually adapted to the rhythm of the opponent's game, and also had a certain understanding of the style of the Paraguayan team.

Paraguay have been trying to control the ball, but their passing is not flawless, and the back line of Liu Han and Zheng Zhi has a very good interception ability.

After winning the ball, the Chinese team's attack began.

The two wings were completely stretched, Cheng Tao also gave up his position, and Liu Han began to use his speed and physical advantages to ravage the Paraguayan midfield.

In the face of the extremely strong Liu Han, the Paraguayan team had to strengthen the defense, and in this case, the Chinese team had more opportunities on the side.

Compared with the last game with the Australian team, the Chinese team's attack in this game is mostly from the wings, the two wing defenders frequently go to the bottom, and Liu Han and Zhang Yuning are outflanked in the middle, and the Chinese team has a great advantage in height.

In the thirty-third minute of the game, Yu Tao crossed again, Zhang Yuning jumped back and rubbed at the front point, and Cheng Tao shoveled the goal at the back point.

The Paraguayan goalkeeper struggled to save the ball, but before the ball flew out of the penalty area, Liu Han followed up with a follow-up shot, and the Paraguayan team was weak to recover, and the Chinese team took a one-goal lead.

After conceding the goal, the Paraguayan team began to organize a fierce counterattack, but they did not have a strong center forward in the front line, and the ground penetration had to face the interception of Liu Han and Zheng Zhi, and the Paraguayan team's attack came to a standstill.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team maintained a one-goal lead.

In the second half, at the beginning, the Paraguayan team took advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese team's unstable foothold to play a wonderful combination, Xu Hai in the penalty area lost the position of defense and pulled down the Paraguayan striker, and the Paraguayan team got a penalty opportunity, and they equalized the score in the 52nd minute of the second half.

After the equaliser, Paraguay's attack intensified as they tried to overtake the score.

However, the Chinese team was not discouraged, but took advantage of the opportunity of the Paraguayan team attacking too hard and too far forward to play a quick counterattack.

After Liu Han broke the ball in the backfield, he made a long pass directly to the left side of the front court, and Cheng Tao stabbed out and received the ball outside the big penalty area.

In the face of the Paraguayan team's many people, the young Cheng Tao did not panic, he stabilized the ball and then faked to break through, but used his toes to pass the ball to the middle at the moment of sudden speed.

Zhang Yuning, who followed in the middle, met the ball with a long-range shot, but the Paraguayan goalkeeper couldn't save it, and the Chinese team exceeded the score again in the 60th minute of the second half.

Ten minutes later, the Chinese team once again took advantage of the opportunity of the Paraguayan team to save too fiercely to play a wonderful combination.

Liu Han sent over the top in the high-speed movement, Zhang Yuning burst into the box and was pulled down by the Paraguayan defender, and the Chinese team also won a penalty opportunity.

Liu Han didn't let the ball go into the Paraguayan team's goal, and the Chinese team sealed the victory of the game.

In the end, the Chinese team relied on Liu Han's brace to defeat the Paraguayan team 3-1 to successfully enter the men's football final of this Olympic Games, and their opponent will be the talented Argentine team.
