The Chinese Olympic team's first goal, first draw, and first points at the Olympics quickly became the focus of domestic media coverage the day after the game.

The heat even outweighed speculation about how the torch would be lit at the opening ceremony of the Madrid Games, which had not yet started after the Games.

Although the women's football team also beat the opponent 5-0 on the first day of the game, it is definitely not as hot as the men's football team.

While women's football is so common to win that women's football is commonplace, it's surprising that the men's team is doing so at the Olympics, and it's naturally easier to attract media attention.

On the other hand, men's football is inherently more concerned than women's football.

Although it was only a draw, looking at the media reports and the craze on the Internet, it will definitely make some people who do not pay attention to Chinese football think that the national Olympic team defeated Nigeria......

A draw can attract everyone's attention and praise, which shows how pitiful Chinese fans are.

There are already fans who have shouted on the Internet, "I don't care what the next two games are, there is this game, this point, these two goals, Lao Tzu is satisfied".

And it has also been recognized and echoed by many people.

"In the group stage of the Olympic men's football group B in the early hours of this morning, the Chinese Olympic team drew 2:2 with the Nigerian Olympic team after a tough game. Among them, Chen Xingyi scored the first goal of the Chinese men's football team in the history of the Olympic Games...... Hu Lai's goal in the 76th minute helped the Chinese team finally get a point, which was also the first point in the history of the Chinese men's football team in the Olympic Games......"

Qin Lin looked up at the morning Olympic broadcast on the TV screen, which was playing the highlights of that game.

Hu Lai assisted Chen Xingyi to score, and the pictures of Chen Xingyi leaking the ball and scoring goals for Hu Lai were presented one by one.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Qin Qi, who was also turning his head to watch TV, exclaimed. "The first goal in the history of the Olympic Games! Dad, they're even better than you! ”

Qin Lin glared at him: "Hurry up and eat, eat and go to school." ”

Qin Qi hurriedly lowered his head and snorted and drank porridge.

Qin Lin continued to watch the TV, the highlights of the game had been broadcast, and the picture cut back to the studio hall rented by CCTV in Madrid, where the host was discussing this game with the guests about this game of great significance for Chinese football.

But what they said, Qin Lin didn't listen to a word.

His mind went back to 12 years ago, when he was standing on the pitch, the last game of the Chinese Olympic team, they had actually lost their qualification after two consecutive defeats, and the goal of the team's last game had been reduced to fighting for a goal.

He was loud on the pitch cheering up the morale and hoping the players would pick themselves up.

But no one in the team answered his call, and the two-goal deficit seemed to destroy their fighting spirit.

It's just two goals behind......

In the sixty-eighth minute, Qin Lin was substituted.

After he was replaced, he didn't even shake hands with Jin Zhipei, the head coach of the national Olympic team at the time, and walked straight back to the locker room, and when he passed by a bottle of mineral water, he kicked the water bottle out of the way.

This scene frightened many people, and it also became one of the main reasons why Qin Lin was condemned by the media and fans after the game.

It is believed that he, as the oldest and most experienced veteran player in the team, did not play the right role model, and passed on his anxiety to the players on the field, making the players feel overwhelmed, which was one of the reasons why the team lost the game......

Some people also believe that he engaged in mountaineering in the National Olympic team, became a ball bully, took the lead in disobedience, and had a discordant relationship with Jin Zhipei, the head coach of the National Olympic team, which eventually led to the team falling apart and completely losing its combat effectiveness.

In short, before the National Olympic team, Qin Lin, the best player in Chinese domestic football, received much expectation after joining the National Olympic team as an overage player. So how much infamy does he have after the Olympics.

The Olympic Games have therefore become an indelible stain on Qin Lin's career, and at the same time, it has become a past that he himself does not want to recall too much, which he has intentionally or unintentionally buried in the depths of his memory.

Today, when he saw these energetic young people running in the game against Nigeria, Qin Lin couldn't help but envy - if it was such a group of young people around me at the beginning, maybe we would have created the history of Chinese football twelve years in advance, right?

After breakfast, his wife drove his son to school, while Qin Lin rested in the house until he heard a car horn outside.

Only then did he mention the sports bag that he had packed a long time ago and walked out of the yard of his house.

Xia Xiaoyu and Zhang Qinghuan's car was waiting for him at the door of his house.

After Hu Lai and the others left, Zhang Qinghuan offered to go to training and go home with Qin Lin every day, anyway, there are only three people, and one car is enough, there is no need to increase unnecessary carbon emissions.

Qin Lin agreed.

So now every day he takes the electric car that Zhang Qinghuan bought to train.

When Qin Lin sat in the car, Xia Xiaoyu and Zhang Qinghuan were still discussing the Olympics.

I heard Xia Xiaoyu asking Zhang Qinghuan: "Brother Huan, Brother Hu and Brother Chen have scored, don't you regret not going to the Olympics now?" ”

Zhang Qinghuan snorted: "What's there to regret about this?" It's just a goal in the Olympics, what's so great? Let me tell you Xiaoyu, my goal is to score in the World Cup finals! ”

After speaking, the two of them saw Brother Lin sitting in, and hurriedly greeted: "Brother Lin is good!" ”

Qin Lin nodded, still thinking about what Zhang Qinghuan had just said.

Scoring in the World Cup finals?

That means they have to qualify for the World Cup finals first!

But......

Qin Lin thought about it again, and felt that it was really possible for this group of young people to help Chinese football enter the World Cup.

It's just that it won't have anything to do with me then.

If there was such a group of young players around me, the fact that the Chinese team appeared in the World Cup finals would have been realized long ago......

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Lin was a little depressed.

For the first time, he hoped that he would be ten years younger and continue to run on the green field with this group of young people.

Xia Xiaoyu and Zhang Qinghuan, who were sitting in the front, both noticed that Qin Lin was a little silent after getting into the car, and the two of them confirmed this with their eyes to each other.

Zhang Qinghuan motioned to Xia Xiaoyu with his eyes to ask what was going on, and Xia Xiaoyu responded with his eyes that he wanted to ask you!

Zhang Qinghuan didn't ask.

Just kidding, the devil knows why Brother Ringe is in such a low mood today?

What if it was because of the disharmony between my husband and wife last night?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for everyone to ask such a question?

Don't ask, don't ask, don't ask if you die.

But Zhang Qinghuan didn't ask, but Qin Lin, who was sitting in the back, took the initiative to speak: "Qinghuan, I can help you write down what you just said." If you do play in the World Cup, I'll wait and see you score. ”

Zhang Qinghuan: ???

Xia Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing.

"No, Ringo...... I'm just bragging, I don't need that, right? Zhang Qinghuan shouted injustice in Xia Xiaoyu's laughter.

Qin Lin said very seriously: "Your idea is not right, Qing Huan." How can this be a casual bragging cowhide? ”

"I haven't even participated in the World Cup...... Zhang Qinghuan defended.

"Then Hulai still shouted that he wanted to win the World Cup? Do you think he's going to just brag? ”

Zhang Qinghuan wanted to say "yes", but he realized that Qin Lin was discussing a very serious topic with him, so it was not suitable to treat it with this kind of joking mentality, he frowned and thought about it seriously, and had to admit that Hu Lai's stubbornness in some things was very terrible.

The most recent proof is his revenge on Wang Xianke.

After the FA Cup final last year, he said that he wanted to see Wang Xianke to play once, and at that time, whether on the Internet or in the media, many people were quite unimpressed by his words, and they all thought that he was just talking.

The result? In almost half a year, Hu Lai really managed to see Wang Xianke and fight once.

In three consecutive meetings with Dashun Golden Arrows, Hulai scored all of them and helped the Shining Star to win all of them. In the last game, he risked being blinded and had to score with a header. You must know that Shinstar actually won at that time, and Hulai had already scored, so he didn't need to fight so hard at all.

He wants to prove to the world that what he has said must be fulfilled, and the he has bragged about must also be realized.

"We all know that Hulai is very good at the moment, and as a young player, he has even achieved a lot of results that a 30-year-old has never been able to do. When the outside world talks about the reason for Hulai's success, they always simply say that he is a 'genius'. But as people who get along with him day and night, do you think that he is just talented? Isn't his belief in trying to make all of his boasts come true is the reason he has been able to make progress? ”

Listening to Qin Lin's words, the smile on Xia Xiaoyu's face who was driving gradually disappeared.

He suddenly remembered that after listening to Brother Hu's words that he was going to Europe, he just blindly made excuses and reasons for not being able to go to Europe, but he didn't think about how he was going to Europe at all.

He suddenly realized that this may be the biggest difference between himself and Brother Hu.

Some people always think "what am I going to do", while others think "I can't do it".

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Qin Lin sighed: "You guys, you guys are mixed up with Hu Lai all day, don't let him be cheap." It was just a disguise for him to hide his true ambitions. If you can go to Europe, you still have to go, no matter what specific difficulties there are, you are still young, and you can only grow when you go out to see a broader stage. Let me tell you, Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, and Wang Guangwei will definitely make great progress when they come back from participating in the Olympic Games this time. ”

Zhang Qinghuan thought about it, and finally couldn't help but say: "But Brother Lin, we have to leave, what should the team do?" ”

Qin Lin sneered: "Is this a question you should consider?" Isn't that what Director Zhao did? ”

※※※

Zhao Kangming sneezed, which made Chen Mo next to him nervous: "Don't catch a cold...... Did you stay up late yesterday to watch the game? ”

Zhao Kangming smiled: "I watched it, but I didn't catch a cold, I just suddenly had an itchy nose." Lao Chen, Hu Lai, they did really well yesterday. ”

"It's good, but then it's more likely that they'll be looked up to by European teams."

"If you look at it, you can see it. Chen Xingyi is not from our team, and I can't decide where he goes. After this season, if there is a European team that wants Hulay, I will not stop him, he will go if he wants to go. Zhao Kangming said.

"You're really willing. He's gone, what should we do with our team? ”

"When the time comes, you can't just keep people in the country for this reason, right? I'll tell you, Lao Chen, if you don't want to be Hu Lai's enemy, then don't embarrass him in this matter. Otherwise...... Do you remember Wang Xianke? ”

Chen Mo hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't say that I wanted to stop him from going out." Anyway, you are the head coach, and when Hulai is gone, it is you who are worried about the replacement, not me, you have the final say. ”

Zhao Kangming smiled indifferently: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." We'll talk about that then. It is important that someone in the dark always raises a torch to find the way ahead. ”

Chen Mo understood what he meant: "If Hu Lai can go out, is it the one who is carrying a torch to explore the way?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Kangming nodded. "He's the one who breaks the darkness."
