Chapter 128: After the Olympics

For the men's team, the Olympics are over; But for the team members in other sports, the Olympics are still going on.

The Olympians are still fighting bravely in their respective arenas, and the medals of the Chinese delegation are also increasing one by one.

However, what this Olympic Games has left to the world is far from being a classic of the 100-year Olympic Games.

Just after the members of the National Olympic team left the United States by plane, on July 27, a loud "boom" was heard in the central square of the Olympic Century Park, which is 1.5 kilometers away from the Olympic Village.

Thousands of visitors from the United States and around the world gathered in the square to watch an all-night-long open-air concert by an American rock band. A powerful pipe bomb suddenly exploded, injuring more than 110 people, seriously injuring 2 and killing 2 others.

The bombing of the Olympic Village quickly attracted the attention of the US side, and the Olympic Century Park was closed for three days due to the explosion, and Jewell, a police officer on duty, became a temporary scapegoat.

In order to demonstrate its speed and ability to detect the police, the United States soon announced that the culprit of the bombing had been arrested.

But three months later, Jewell was acquitted after a careful investigation. It wasn't until seven years later that the bomber, Eric . Rudolph was arrested by the police.

He pleaded guilty on 8 April 2005 and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Eric's motive for the crime was extremely ridiculous, and he confessed that the bombing was caused by the U.S. government's permission to have voluntary abortion. That's why I came up with such a "bad idea" to make the United States lose face in front of the whole world.

I have to say that the brain circuit of Da Laomei is still very novel. In such a country where there is no sense of national belonging, people are "free" to do what they want.

It's truly a free MLJ that explodes every day!

The day after the bombing, the girls advanced to the final with a 3-2 win over the mighty Brazil team in the semi-finals.

The final was held at the Rose Bowl Stadium, and from the perspective of the field, the overall strength of the Chinese women's football team is indeed weaker than that of the American women's football team. The two sides played each other 0-0 in the group stage, with neither side getting a bargain.

In the final, the girls were extremely tenacious and created many chances.

But this is the home of the United States, and even the referees are Americans. For the free Americans, they were used to doing whatever they wanted on the land of the Indians.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the referee gave the United States another offside goal when a goal was blown. In the end, the women's football girls lost 1-2 and finished second in the Olympic Games.

"Sister Hong, I finally understood what Xiao Liang meant by what he said to us before leaving." Although Sun Wen on the podium was smiling, those who were familiar with her knew that she was just smiling.

"It's not too late to understand." Gao Hong sighed lightly, "If you want to defeat the other party, you must show absolute strength!" Let's admit it this time, so let's buy a lesson! Two years later, let's say we can't say anything about the mistakes of the past! ”

"Hmm!" Sun Wen gritted his teeth, looked at the slowly rising five-star red flag, and secretly made an oath in his heart.

Three days later, the Olympics came to a successful conclusion.

The Chinese team won 17 golds, 21 silvers and 12 cylinders, ranking fourth, and the number of medals has caught up with the first echelon with a full 50 medals.

In addition, two people in the Chinese delegation broke four world records four times, and the table tennis team won four golds, winning almost all the medals.

Athletes from Hong Kong, China and Chinese Taipei also won one gold and one silver respectively at the Olympic Games, which can be said to be a historic breakthrough.

......

After returning to China, the National Olympics not only received the reception of the big leaders, but also many of them were touted by most of the media.

If the last game is lost and eliminated, the media can still find a reason to hack it; But the final result was to win, so under the praise of the media, this group of National Olympic team members was even hung with the title of "heroes".

The day after the celebration, Yuan Weimin held a commendation meeting in the capital to commend the players with outstanding performance in the game.

Among them, Qu Shengqing and Yang Chen, the two goal contributors, were each awarded the little red flower, and Ou Chuliang, who contributed more than 40 saves in three games, also received a small certificate of merit to show his merits.

The report was concluded in a lengthy summary for more than three hours, in the flash of the media.

The end of the commendation conference also announced that the historical mission of the 73 National Olympic Games has come to an end.

When Yuan Weimin said the word "disband", all the members of the National Olympic team had tears in their eyes and hugged their teammates to say goodbye.

This National Olympic Games has cultivated some high-end and excellent athletes, providing logistical reserves for the national football team; There are also some athletes who have made great contributions in the local club after "returning to their hometowns".

The Olympics have passed, but the various competitions of football are still in full swing. When the members of the National Olympic team returned to their hometowns and participated in some talk shows, Vice Chairman Xu, who was the first to return to China with the team, was called to Yuan Weimin's office.

"Chairman Yuan, do you have something to do with me?"

"Lao Xu, how is your health lately?" Yuan Weimin is still aware of Vice Chairman Xu's body.

"The annoying organization is worried, and Xu's body has not been seriously ill recently."

"Then how did I hear that your hands were shaking with excitement after winning Brazil?"

"Haha, Chairman, you can really joke, just ask the situation at that time, which country didn't shake their hands?"

"Uh-huh, you're right." Yuan Weimin nodded, "To be honest, you and the military students have contributed a lot to the National Olympics this time." It is a huge surprise that our men's football team was able to go to the Olympics for so many times and win two games. What's more, we also played against Brazil, as for whether we reached the quarterfinals or not, there was no need to play one more game. ”

"The main thing is that Chairman Yuan is leading well." Vice Chairman Xu said modestly. "Another is that thanks to the good seedlings of this batch of students, I am willing to work hard."

"Okay, don't put a high hat on me, we will cooperate for a long time in the future!" Yuan Weimin said with a smile.

According to the results of the recent men's and women's football competitions, Yuan Weimin was successfully re-elected to the Football Association. Even with him, the leadership team of the Football Association under him has not moved at all.

"Lao Xu, this Olympics is over, what are you going to do with Ladd?"

To tell the truth, when Xu Wang and Wang Li Baolad ascended the throne, Yuan Weimin was very optimistic about this former South foreign teacher.

But when he led the team to the Olympic Games, Yuan Weimin's attitude towards him changed 180 degrees. Especially seeing the heroic performance of several players he promoted on the field, he looked up to him.

"Should we withdraw or must we withdraw." Vice Chairman Xu pondered for a moment, "After all, the contract says that it will qualify for the group stage." Now that our group has been eliminated, we have to do it according to the contract. What's this called? What is it called... Yes, the spirit of the contract! ”

"Okay, then do as you want. The words are laid out in black and white, and he won't say anything more. Yuan Weimin nodded, "But after all, he is a meritorious man, and now Qi Zhuosheng is preparing for the Asian Cup with the national football team, and ask him if he is interested in going there as a technical consultant." ”

"Well, that's exactly what I wanted." Vice Chairman Xu nodded, "I had a private chat with Mr. Ladd on the plane, and he said that if he leaves office, the Football Association will not leave China if he does not arrange a position. He would go down to the place to see if there was a local club to take him in. ”

"Oh? What if the club doesn't keep him? Yuan Weimin asked curiously.

"Then he plans to find a football school to be a football coach for young people, cultivate young football talents, and say that this will allow him to have a deeper understanding of Chinese football."

"Tut-tut, Mr. Ladd is not very conscious!" Yuan Weimin sighed softly, "If this is a war year, it will be able to catch up with Bethune!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Vice Chairman Xu nodded, "I can see that this old man really loves China. After the partition of Yugoslavia, he always regarded China as his second home. ”

"Then we can't treat people badly!"

After the two finished speaking, they both laughed.

After laughing, Yuan Weimin nodded again, "Lao Xu, there is one more thing you need to decide." ”

"What else?" Vice Chairman Xu said curiously.

"Recently, Qi Zhaosheng called me several times and wrote several applications, asking me to select Ou Chuliang to be selected for the national football team to prepare for the Asian Cup. What do you think about this? ”

"Asian Cup?" Vice Chairman Xu frowned, "Chu Liang has just finished playing in the Olympic Games, so he should take a break." What's more, Jianlibao is now training in Brazil, and in the United States, he told me that he didn't want to return to China, and he directly transferred to Brazil to return to the team, and I forcibly brought him back. And his age is the age of a solid foundation, and letting him join the National Olympic Games is already an exception, and letting him be selected for the national football team to participate in so many international competitions is probably not a good thing for his development, and in case of injury..."

"And what do you mean?"

"I don't know." Vice Chairman Xu smiled wryly, "Chu Liang, this kid has his own ideas and opinions, whether it is going to Brazil to return to the team or to report to the national football team, I have reservations. ”

"You, you, you're going to kick the problem back and give me a headache!" Yuan Weimin pondered for a moment, "Then let's do it, find a gap to call him over in a few days, and I'll personally ask him what he thinks." ”
