Although it was a Monday on January 15, many people had gathered in the stands of the Ocean Stadium at 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

Many of them came to the stadium directly from their units and may not even have had time to eat dinner.

These people may have been wearing various uniforms when they went to work, but now they are all wearing red Chinese team jerseys, creating a wave of red in the stands.

The game will kick off at half past seven in the evening, and the fans are already a little impatient.

Reporters from TV stations and various new media and self-media interviewed fans outside the stadium and in the stands.

Wang Shanshan, a CCTV beauty reporter who has appeared at the scene of the national football match many times before, also appeared outside the stadium this time and was interviewing the fans queuing up to enter.

When she asked the fans to predict the score of the game, some optimistic Chinese fans made a "3:0" gesture, and some fans kept chanting directly behind them: "Madrid! Madrid! Madrid! ”

Madrid, the capital of Spain, is the venue for this year's Summer Olympics, and fans chanting this name naturally have high hopes and confidence for the national Olympic team to participate in the Olympics.

Although there was no goal in the second round of the group stage, considering the strength of the Uzbekistan Olympic team, the Chinese team was able to play 0:0 with the opponent, which has nothing to blame for this performance.

The third group stage game against Qatar, even if the two teams had some grievances before, but how many years ago was that?

The Chinese Olympic team at that time was completely different from today's team, the players have changed, is there any connection?

Before the game, some people didn't know the situation, and thought that the Chinese team was a soft persimmon that could be pinched casually, and tried to mock Chinese football with the defeat that year, but more Chinese fans poured in and scolded him.

The vast majority of Chinese fans are still very confident that the Chinese team will win this game.

They believe that there is no suspense that the Chinese Olympic team, which has the advantage of being at home, will win Qatar in the final group stage.

Some Chinese fans have even begun to calculate what opponents the National Olympic team will encounter in the knockout stage after qualifying from the group, and formulate the so-called "Madrid road map".

According to the rules, the winner of Group A will meet the second place in Group B in the quarter-finals after advancing to the knockout round, and the second place in Group A will meet the winner of Group B.

Now the first place in Group B is the Japanese Olympic team, and the second is the Palestinian Olympic team.

With the huge advantage of the Chinese Olympic team in goal difference, it can be said that as long as they can beat Qatar, they will basically lock up the top spot in the group, and it will be difficult for Uzbekistan to get as many as four goal difference against Oman.

As a result, the Chinese team is likely to meet Palestine, the second place in Group B, in the quarter-finals.

The strength of this team is not too strong, and with the performance of the national Olympic team, it should be able to pass this hurdle.

Further down the list is the semi-finals, with the Chinese Olympic team just one step away from qualifying for the Olympics – if they can make it to the final, they will be able to secure their ticket to the Olympics.

But even if you can't, there is still a chance to finish in the finals, and as long as you finish third, you can still participate in the Olympics.

So as long as the Chinese team can advance to the knockout rounds, the Olympic ticket is beckoning to them, and the Chinese team has a good chance of participating in the Olympics in Madrid, Spain, this summer.

How many years have passed, and the long-awaited Chinese fans are finally about to see the dawn of hope, can they not be excited?

So even though the game was on a weekday night, the Ocean Stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 people, was almost full.

You know, for the national Olympic team, such an attendance rate is very terrifying. Even if it is the Chinese national team, unless it is some very important games, it is difficult to have this kind of attendance.

Outside the stadium, I don't know how many people are watching the game at home, in a bar, or anywhere else, through televisions, mobile phones, and computers.

There are so many fans who have high hopes for the Chinese Olympic team, and the lads of the national Olympic team have indeed not disappointed them.

"Oh beautiful! Strike!!! ”

With a loud roar from the commentator He Feng, the stands of the Ocean Stadium were thunderous, almost covering up He Feng's shouting in the studio behind.

In the stadium, in front of Qatar's goal, Guo Junfu received the ball from Luo Kai near the bottom line, and shot the football decisively towards the goal.

Before that, Qatar's defenders and goalkeeper Bakari focused on Hulai, who answered in front of the goal.

Completely ignoring Guo Junfu, who suddenly appeared near the penalty spot.

Football hits the net!

"Just four minutes into the game, the Olympic team opened the scoring! They got off to a great start! Rokai used his body to carry the Qatari defender on the flank, broke into the box and crossed low...... He was very clever not to pass the football directly to Hu Lai, but to the back, creating a great opportunity for Guo Junfu, who was inserted behind! ”

The cheers in the stands continued, and the momentum and ability of nearly 60,000 Chinese fans could compete with the cold of minus seven degrees!

In the thunderous cheers, Guo Junfu, who scored the goal, ran excitedly to the corner flag area, and then was chased by Chen Xingyi and pulled to the ground.

More Olympic players flocked to him, shouting and pressing on him.

Shi Wuyun and assistant coach Li Zhifei in front of the coach's bench hugged each other and then separated, and then Shi Wuyun went to hug the team leader Ran Jiachang.

Around him, both the colleagues in the coaching staff and the substitutes were doing the same thing.

A joyful and relaxed atmosphere permeated every corner of the Chinese team's bench.

The goal in the opening four minutes was much more than they expected and a surprise for everyone!

※※※

The Chinese team ended the celebration and returned to their own half, and the Qatar Olympic team kicked off in the middle circle, and the game continued.

Conceding an early goal seems to have affected the mood of the Qatari players, who looked a little impatient in the rest of the game.

When the Chinese team attacked, Guo Junfu took the ball in the midfield, and the opponent's No. 2 defender Salman stepped up and then tripped Guo Junfu who tried to break through next to him.

The latter lost his balance, fell to the ground, and lost the football.

Referee Fahani's whistle blew and blew for a foul on the Qatari player.

For this foul by the Qatari player, there were sporadic boos in the stands - some Chinese fans were dissatisfied with Salman's foul, because if Salman did not foul, the Chinese team would get a lot of space on the Qatari defense of the defender behind him, and it can be said that Guo Junfu directly broke through the Qatari defense.

As a result, because of Salman's foul, the Chinese team's attack came to an abrupt halt and lost the opportunity to expand the score.

It's just that because the Chinese team has just scored a goal and is in the lead, the vast majority of Chinese fans don't care very much, they just shout: "Come on, Chinese team!" Come on, Chinese team! ”

Commentator He Feng said: "The Qatari defender used a tactical foul and brought down Guo Junfu......"

Yan Kang said: "Salman has no choice, if he can't block Guo Junfu and let the Chinese team attack this time, their back line will be dangerous." ”

A minute later, the Chinese team used the free-kick in front of the field to launch an attack, passing the football into the penalty area, and then it was cleared by a header from a Qatari defender.

The football flew to the sideline, and Guo Junfu came to the side to get the ball.

The ball came from the air, and he raised his foot to stop it.

This stop is beautiful, which can greatly reduce his adjustment time and create opportunities for the Chinese team to launch a second attack.

As a result, as soon as he stopped the football, Qatar's No. 18 midfielder Hashim Madibo swept from the side, kicked Guo Junfu's leg, and kicked him to the ground!

This time the boos from the stands were much louder.

Commentator He Feng's tone was also a little harsh: "Qatar has fouled Guo Junfu in just two minutes!" ”

Yan Kang frowned next to him and said, "I feel that after Guo Junfu scored the goal, he was targeted by Qatar ......"

Guo Junfu, who was kicked down, got up from the ground and made a gesture to the referee.

He feels that he has been targeted by the opposing player in a short period of time, should the referee issue a yellow card to warn, control the situation on the field, and at the same time let the opponent restrain himself?

As a result, Iranian referee Farhani did not say anything......

No, he didn't say nothing, he was using a quick and loud whistle to remind Gao Ruimin, a player of the Chinese team who placed the football, to move the position of the football back.

When He Feng saw this scene, he could only follow the normal way of commentary to make up for the referee's practice: "The game has just started for less than ten minutes, and Fahani may not want to play his cards easily......

Seeing this, Guo Junfu was also speechless, and after getting up from the ground, he ran to Gao Ruimin and prepared to take the free kick.

He's the captain of the team and he has the captain's armband on his arm, so of course he wants to set an example for his team-mates in this situation.

At the same time, I thought to myself: Next time the other party fouls me again, the referee has to say something, right? It's just three things, referee......

※※※

I have to say that Qatar's approach to Guo Junfu did curb the Chinese team's attack, after all, Guo Junfu is the offensive organizer of the Chinese team, and if he is frequently subject to the opponent's fierce defense, the Chinese team's attack will naturally not run smoothly.

After containing the Chinese team's attack, Qatar tried to counterattack.

In the fourteenth minute, they attacked on the left flank.

The pass was a little big, and Bai Di, the right wing-back of the Chinese team, grabbed the ball first.

As a result, Qatar's left wing-back No.13 Al Burak reached out from behind and stabbed the ball away in front of him, while he pushed him to the ground with a hard hand.

Bai Di, who fell to the ground, thought that the opponent had committed a foul, so he raised his arms to complain to the referee, but did not get up immediately.

But referee Fahani didn't say anything, and let Brak catch up with the football and kill the Chinese team's penalty area!

Fortunately, Wang Guangwei's attention has always been very focused, and he didn't think that the game would be stopped because Bai Di fell to the ground.

When Braque burst into the penalty area to cross, he grabbed in time to block the kick and block the ball from the bottom line!

"Wang Guangwei has made meritorious contributions!"

"Be careful! If the referee doesn't blow the whistle, the game won't stop, don't think what will happen to ......the referee," Yan Kang said with some concern.

There was a boo in the stands, and Chinese fans thought that Qatar's No. 13 player pushed Bai Di from behind, which was a foul, but the referee let the game continue, if it weren't for Wang Guangwei, the goal might have really threatened Lin Zhiyuan's goal.

Since Qatar's two consecutive fouls against Guo Junfu, the Chinese fans in the stands have become more and more dissatisfied with the referee's decision.

Some of the excited fans have already shouted "Black whistle!" Voice.

On the bench of the National Olympic team, Wang Zijian, who did not start, thought of the small dispute in the team's WeChat group last night.

He couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "! ”

Not far from him, Shi Wuyun, the head coach of the National Olympic team, stood on the sidelines with his hands on his chest, his brows furrowed slightly.

And Li Zhifei was communicating with the fourth official: "Isn't this a foul?" ”

The fourth official didn't respond to him, but just shook his head with a straight face, and he didn't know if he didn't understand it or if it was "not a foul".

So Li Zhifei didn't have a problem, he had no choice but to smile at the other party, and then turned around and walked back to Shi Wuyan's side. He was afraid that if he continued to defend himself, he would get a yellow card or be sent off directly.

※※※

Qatar's corner kick failed to threaten, and the ball was punched out by Lin Zhiyuan.

The two sides started a tug-of-war again.

In the seventeenth minute, Bai Di received the ball near the bottom line of the Chinese team, and was kicked to the ground by the opponent's No. 13 player Braque.

This time, the referee's whistle finally sounded amid boos from the audience, blowing for a foul.

But that's about it.

There were no verbal warnings and no yellow cards.

Nothing, just signaling the Chinese team to send a free kick in the backfield.

Qatar's No. 13 Brak staggered past Bai Di, who fell to the ground with a painful expression, and didn't even show his friendliness and leaned over to pat Bai Di in a friendly manner.

However, as the captain, Guo Junfu, who went up to negotiate with the referee on behalf of the team, received a yellow card from the main dish card after telling the referee whether he should give a card......

Seeing this yellow card, Guo Junfu himself was stunned: I came to ask the referee to give the opponent a yellow card, not a yellow card!

Farhani didn't care so much, lowered his head and wrote down Guo Junfu's number on the back of the yellow card.

And just like that, the first yellow card of the game finally appeared.

And the boos in the stands were even louder.

"Guo Junfu received a yellow ......card for protesting the penalty," He Feng said helplessly.

Yan Kang, who was beside him, didn't say anything this time, because he didn't know what to say.

Saying that the Chinese players should not run to the referee after the penalty is awarded?

But the problem is that Guo Junfu is the captain of the team, and it is his duty as the captain to communicate with the referee!

As a result, we got a yellow card after running to communicate, is this a problem with our players, or is it a problem with the referee?

Perhaps Farhani felt that every time a penalty was unfavorable to the Chinese team, there were Chinese players who came to pressure him and showed disrespect for his authority.

But the problem is that you make the Chinese players respect the authority of the referee, and your judgment must first have authority!

Of course, except for the 13th who didn't blow the backpush to Bai Di for the first time, the other Qatari fouls on the Chinese team were blown. But with so many fouls and you don't even give a yellow card, and you don't have a verbal warning, what authority does such a penalty have?

What is a yellow card used for? It is used to warn the offending player, as well as the rest of the team on the offending team, not to act rashly......

The result? There is no yellow card, there is no after the foul, so what kind of signal does this seem to be in the eyes of Qatari players?

The Qatari players are obviously becoming more and more arrogant with the connivance of you, the referee!

Let's see how the Thirteen behaved after kicking Bai Di in the back......

He didn't take his foul to heart at all!

These words were held in Yan Kang's heart, but he couldn't say it yet, because he was a commentator, and he couldn't directly attack the referee in the commentary, which would bring him a lot of trouble.

So he could only try to remain silent.

※※※

"Team Guo Guo ......" Hu Lai ran back and pulled Guo Junfu, who had just received a yellow card, away, "Don't you go up, didn't you see that Farhani look unhappy?" ”

Guo Junfu was indignant: "I'm more unhappy than him!" Damn, I was chased for a foul and he didn't even give me a verbal warning, and instead gave me a yellow card...... What is his playing standard? ”

At this time, he forgot the reminder he had told everyone in the WeChat group last night not to play the game with emotion......

But this is not to blame him, anyone who is punished like this will inevitably be angry.

"It doesn't matter what he is, let's just play at our own pace, and now we're still ahead of the score." But don't let the referee's decision mess up your rhythm! Hulay persuaded.

Guo Junfu took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and then said to Hu Lai, "Thank you, Hu Lai." You're right, I'm too impulsive. ”

Hu Lai hurriedly smiled: "That's too polite, Team Guo." ”

Then he turned and ran back to his position.

Twenty minutes into the game, he hadn't had a shot on goal, and the center of gravity seemed to be on the way outside of football after that goal......

He was also speechless.
