On the second day of the Rio Olympics, Chu Yang's national Olympic team finally ushered in the first group stage.

The time of the game is 9:30 a.m. Rio time, and the time difference between Rio and Yanjing is 12 hours, which is already late at night for the Chinese audience. However, for those football fans, it's not too late to watch the game. After all, for fans, even watching a game all night is nothing new.

This game is the opening match of the Chinese Olympic team in the Olympic arena, and the attention of fans is naturally not low. Before nine o'clock, many fans had already prepared beer and various snacks, locked CCTV 5 sets early, and waited to watch the live broadcast.

In the live broadcast room, Liu Jianhong, who has been playing a supporting role, finally came to play today. This CCTV 5 professional football program host generally didn't talk much in the game for more than a day before. After all, he knows less about other sports except football. The reason why he was invited to participate in the live broadcast of the Olympic Games this time is largely because the national Olympic team broke into the Olympic Games.

Of course, the real reason is not clear to Liu Jianhong. Because according to past experience, with the strength of the Chinese team, even if it breaks into the Olympic Games, it is estimated that it will be eliminated in the group stage, and such a result does not seem to be enough to cooperate with a football host specifically for it.

Of course, Liu Jianhong didn't know that this time the Huaxia Olympic team was already different from the past, with the god Chu Yang "lurking" in it, this team has jumped from a fish belly team to a terrible team with super strength!

Liu Jianhong didn't know, but those high-level bigwigs did. In particular, the leader who likes football is very concerned about this game, and specifically instructed CCTV to do a good job in the live broadcast of football games. Under such attention. How dare CCTV snub? directly released Liu Jianhong.

With half an hour to go before the game, CCTV had already locked the channel at the Mineiro Stadium. Although it is not the main Olympic venue, its facilities are also first-class, and the Mineiro Stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 spectators at a time, is one of the four football venues of the Rio Olympics. The other three are the New Water Stadio, the National Stadium of Brasilia and the main stadium, the Maracanã Stadium.

Just a group qualifier. The crowd in the Mineiro stadium was not very large, not even full.

The reason for this situation is that on the one hand, it is related to the low attention of the group stage, and on the other hand, it is also because these two teams are not the favorites to win the championship, especially the Huaxia team, basically everyone thinks that it will go home after playing three group games.

The group in which the Chinese team is located is Group D, in this group. The other three teams are Spain, the island nation and Egypt. Among the three opponents, Egypt is relatively weak, but its overall strength is still one head higher than that of China. As for the island country and Spain, not to mention, the former is a strong team in Asia, and the latter is a super strong team that can directly compete for the championship!

Before the game, many fans and professional competition organizations analyzed it. In the three games of the Chinese team, only Egypt has the strength to fight. And the best outcome is a draw, and with a bit of luck, it is possible to win this game. However, if it is against the island country or Spain, there is basically no chance.

Because of historical reasons, the Chinese people are not friendly to the island country, and they are even more unwilling to admit that the island country is stronger than themselves. But when it comes to football specifically. Admit it or not, that's what it is. In previous competitions, the performance of Chinese football was very poor, especially against the island country, basically there was no win or loss. This is also a well-established fact!

As for Egypt, although it is also a weak team, football has developed rapidly in the past two years, especially some players who play for the country's top Al Ahly club, have performed very well. In contrast, the performance of Chinese players in the past two years has been somewhat mediocre, and there are basically no players who are eye-catching. Several returnee players represented by Xu Hao are relatively eye-catching, but they are only second- and third-rate players abroad.

There is still half an hour before the start of the game, and the live broadcast of CCTV has begun.

Liu Jianhong is dressed in a decent blue suit today, dressed very formally, unlike yesterday, he sat in the anchor's position today, while Liu Yi, who was his partner before, sat on the other side.

At the beginning, Liu Yi said half-jokingly: "Jianhong, the throne of the anchor will be given to you today, commenting football is your old job, I believe that in today's game, many viewers are looking forward to your commentary." ”

Hearing Liu Yi's words, Liu Jianhong said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare, in fact, when it comes to football, I am also talking on paper, I can't run on the field when I was young, and I often play the role of picking up the ball." ”

Liu Jianhong's words don't seem to be fake, his figure is relatively fat, he is the type of slightly fat, but the overall fat is very coordinated, with that pair of square-framed glasses, he looks very polite.

"Be humble, be humble, many fans in China can be said to be full of praise for your commentary, and today you don't have to be humble. This commentary doesn't have to be particularly good at football, right? Jianhong, let's analyze today's game. Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, then in fact, in today's game, it should be that the Chinese team is still relatively lucky, the first game against Egypt, did not meet the island country or Spain such a strong team. So about the Egyptian team, I believe that fans and friends who like football know a little about him, this is a team with strength between the second and third lines, and it can be said that compared with the Chinese team, it is a team with similar strength. I believe that this game will be a very exciting, very good game. Liu Jianhong said.

Hearing Liu Jianhong's words, Liu Yi nodded and continued to ask: "Then Jianhong, what do you think about the appearance arrangements of the Huaxia team in today's game?" ”

Liu Jianhong heard this question and pondered for a while before saying: "Regarding this game, I just looked at the list of appearances of the Huaxia team, and it should be said that the overall arrangement is still very reasonable, it is a classic 442 formation, and it is also a defensive counterattack that we are good at." However, in terms of the arrangement of the main lineup, I did not see returnees like Li Yuan, Chen Zhechao and Yang Ting. Coach Du Yi gave the main position to Wang Rui, Wu Xing and Zhang Bin and other domestic players, especially the three players above, from the forward to the center and then to the back, it can be said that they have formed a relatively complete offensive system. Of course, we can also understand it this way, because of the training plan of these returnee players, it was around the main striker Xu Hao. However, due to some unexpected circumstances, Xu Hao was unable to participate in the competition of the National Olympic team, which disturbed the team's original plan, so this should be the second set of alternatives for the National Olympic team. ”

Liu Jianhong is worthy of being a first-class football commentator in China, and he pointed out the dilemma faced by the national Olympic team in a few words. Xu Hao's matter, although it was handled in a low-key manner in the end, there is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone in the developed Internet era, it didn't take a few hours. A lot of fans have heard about it.

After hearing the news, the first reaction of many fans was that it was a pity, and there was a voice of intercession for Xu Hao on the Internet.

Of course, what Xu Hao committed is definitely not a glorious thing, from the matter itself, the ban is very normal, after all, this kind of thing has also smeared the National Olympic team, and even the Chinese delegation.

But from a competition point of view. Without Xu Hao, the absolute main force, the hope of qualifying for the Huaxia team suddenly became even slimmer. Although it is said that there is not much hope of qualifying from the group before. But after all, there is a possibility of fighting, but without a general like Xu Hao, this hope will directly become infinitely close to zero!

Many Huaxia fans have called for Xu Hao's ban to be lifted and let him finish the game before accepting punishment. It's a pity that Xu Hao's decision to ban him. It was not made by the Chinese delegation, but by FIFA. There is such a scandal with a player, and FIFA certainly does not turn a blind eye. And it is not easy to say that FIFA lifted the punishment of Xu Hao.

So, at the moment, many domestic fans. For this game, my heart has long been full of pessimism. It's just that out of habit, these people know that the game is likely to be lost, and the loss is ugly, but they still turn on the TV and lock the channel.

After listening to Liu Jianhong's explanation, Liu Yi also nodded and agreed. As the host of Huaxia 5 sets, although he is not a professional commentator on football, he also knows something about football. To be honest, he, like many fans, has little hope for the group stage of the Chinese team.

On the TV screen, the Egyptian Olympic team faces the camera and is being interviewed.

"The Huaxia (National Olympic Team) is a team worthy of respect. Of course, we're here to compete, not to tourist. So our goal is definitely to win. "Facing the camera, the head coach of the Egyptian Olympic team, Hussam? Muhammad? Albadri said confidently.

This is a clip of an interview with Brazilian television, and the reporter Wang Qiang cut back to the scene after playing this clip.

"Hello Wang Qiang, we just saw the live interview of the Egyptian team, now please introduce the situation to all of us." Liu Jianhong said. He and Wang Qiang are old partners, one does live broadcasts, the other goes out, and the two are very familiar with each other.

"Okay Jianhong, hello to the audience in front of the TV, I'm Wang Qiang, and the position I'm standing in now is the Mineiro Stadium in Rio. In more than 20 minutes, the match between my country's Olympic team and Egypt's Olympic team will officially begin. This is the first football group stage of the Olympic Games, and later on, the group stage of the three groups of ABC will also be played at the other three stadiums. Now let me give you a brief introduction to the competition. ”

Wang Qiang said, turned around and let the camera lens out, and then continued: "We see that today's weather is very good, not the kind of sunny day, with some slight clouds, but it makes the whole competition venue more comfortable, the temperature is about 23 degrees, which is also a very good temperature." The wind was about two or three levels and didn't have a big impact on the race. We can see that there are a lot of Chinese fans in the audience today, I just took a rough look, there are about 7,000 people, and the Egyptian fans who came to the scene are about less than 2,000 people, so from the perspective of this on-site support, we are far more than the Egyptian team. Our fans are also on the scene right now, making some waves from time to time, creating an atmosphere, and the emotions are very high. Later, I will interview the athletes of the National Olympic Team and bring you some updated live reports. ”

After Wang Qiang's words were finished, Liu Jianhong took over the words again at the scene.

"Okay, thank you Wang Qiang for your introduction, then here, we also sincerely wish the Chinese Olympic team a good result in the first game. Next up is the advertising time, don't go away, we'll have a great game for you later! ”

At the Mineiro Stadium, in the lounge, Wang Rui and several other people were surrounding Coach Duyi, constantly pleading.

"Coach Duyi, you just let Chu Yang play. Without him, it would be really difficult for us to win, and you know, this time in the Egyptian team, there are many players who are very strong, and without Chu Yang on the field, we will lose this game! Wang Rui said almost pleadingly.

Beside him, Wu Xing, Wang Bin, Shi Ke and several other players were also begging there. After a few days of running-in, Chu Yang has been completely recognized by these people, and at the same time, his strong personal strength has also left a deep impression in the hearts of these people. As long as Chu Yang is on the field, they are full of confidence. But because of that small turmoil, Chu Yang can't play now, and everyone is worried.

On the contrary, it was Chu Yang, this guy stayed alone in the lounge, playing with his mobile phone calmly. Anyway, he's banned now, and the game has nothing to do with him.

Of course, if Chu Yang wants to play, it's just a matter of phone calls. Call any big guy you want, and it's easy to lift this ban. It's just that Chu Yang wasn't ready to do that. First, he wanted to see how Wang Rui and the others performed on the field without him, and second, he didn't plan to use this way to let himself play.

Doe grimaced and kept explaining.

"Don't say it anymore, the ban order was issued by the General Assembly, and I have no right to change it, I have already reported the request for lifting Chu Yang's ban, and that's all I can do. Don't think about it, let's play well for a while. Doe comforted.

He then looked at his watch, and the time was almost up, so he clapped his hands and shouted, "Alright, everyone cheer up and get ready to play!" (To be continued......)
