Qin Jian's battle made the Chinese people very excited, but on this day, the Chinese delegation only won Zhu Jianhua's gold medal in the high jump, and the rest of the events were either eliminated in the preliminaries, or they could only accompany them in the knockout round.

The Chinese audience's favorite thing to watch the previous week was the "medal list" and the "gold medal list", because whenever they saw China's name hanging at the front, everyone felt that something unpleasant could be seen.

But in the past few days, everyone rarely looks at the gold medal list, the Americans' advantage in track and field events is terrible, and at this stage, China is not even qualified to accompany the runner in this area, and most of the athletes have been eliminated in the preliminaries!

At this time, the Chinese people can only find some solace from indoor projects and big ball games.

Thankfully, they can really play big ball games, and they can even teach Americans how to play basketball and football, including volleyball and handball.

If it's as sparse as Japan and sticks next door, then I really don't know how to go out and make friends with people?

On the 11th match day, the American audience is more focused on track and field, and the Chinese audience is naturally focused on the three big ball games played today, with the semi-finals of men's football, men's volleyball, and women's handball in the afternoon and evening, respectively.

The attention of the women's handball game is still a little worse, so the games are scheduled to be played in the afternoon, and the opponent drawn by the Chinese girls is the old enemy South Korea.

Wu Jie naturally can't do nothing, and no one can lose the stick, right?

In this game, he used a different treatment, such as Wei Yuli, the core of the team, who pasted a diamond card to the little girl before the game.

Several of the team's capable starters were also given platinum cards.

The rest of the starters and a few decent rotation players, he was dealt gold cards, and the rest naturally ignored them.

The Chinese women's handball team has been able to get to this point, in addition to its own strength, Wei Yuli, a girl from the Northeast from Heilongjiang, has played a very big role.

This 180cm tall and only 18-year-old Heilongjiang girl, Wu Jie doesn't know it, but Luda is very familiar with it, because in the first "Luda Basketball Training Camp", this Wei Yuli was one of the female students.

Wei Yuli's athletic ability is very good, especially good at running and jumping, and her confrontation ability is also good, and she has a three-and-a-half-star rating in the basketball field.

This physical talent is basically in a crushing state against Wang Xiaoqian before the upgrade.

Compared to a great athlete, Lao Wang is actually a bit stupid.

Wei Yuli's problem is that she plays basketball too late, and she can only play the guard who needs the most skill at her height, so Ruda recommended this good seedling to the handball team after thinking about it.

"Handball" and "basketball" have something in common in many places, especially the requirements for physical fitness are very similar, mainly emphasizing running, changing direction, and jumping ability, but the physical confrontation and technical requirements are not as high as basketball, as long as there is the ability to receive and pass the ball, and the throwing power and accuracy are good enough.

Wu Jie has always felt that "handball" is a combination of basketball and volleyball, Wei Yuli lacks the ability to control and hold the ball when playing basketball, but because handball can take a total of "six steps" after connecting and dribbling, this greatly reduces the requirements for ball control ability.

At this time, coupled with her advantage in running and jumping ability, the system's evaluation of her athletic talent rose to four stars after playing handball, which shows that she is indeed more suitable for handball.

The strength of the South Baseball team is not inferior to that of China, and even a little stronger in terms of overall strength, but they lack a star who can stand up at critical moments.

The matchup was a scorching affair with a total of 12 alternate leads between the two sides.

But at the end of the game, Wei Yuli's sudden outburst made the Nanbang flatbread unable to parry.

Wei Yuli's confrontation ability is also outstanding in the women's basketball team, her weak dribble on the handball does not lag behind, coupled with her outstanding running and jumping ability, once she is allowed to take the ball and rush up, it is really a bit of a female bear breaking the stick, stick after bat.

Wei Yuli's consecutive six-step pass score at the end of the game directly made the stick's entire effort come to naught.

In football and basketball, the stars have made the final decision, and today it is also reflected in this handball game, which may be the special charm of the "big ball" game.

Chinese audiences now think that handball matches are also very good, of course, this is based on the premise of being able to win, which is the same reason that everyone loved to watch volleyball a few years ago.

After the women's handball match, the men's volleyball game was played first, and this time the Chinese opponent was Brazil, which is currently ranked third in the world.

The Chinese men's volleyball team is in trouble today, after they went all the way to the top four as dark horses, there is no secret for other teams, and today it is the powerful Brazilian men's volleyball team, and there is little hope of creating a miracle again.

However, in the face of strong opponents, the men's volleyball team still used their tenacious fighting spirit to drag the game into the finals, and finally stopped at the semifinals of the Olympic Games under the shortcomings of physical strength and lack of star players.

Wu Jie regretted a little bit that he didn't use cards for the men's volleyball team, and in the end, there was a difference between the two sides, although this kind of "missing a breath" comment was the most hated adjective in his last life, because China's big ball games are almost all missing.

The men's volleyball game is not completely over, and they still have a battle for the championship in three days, against the losers of the United States and Italy.

If they can beat their opponents, they can help China win a bronze medal, which is also a great honor in volleyball.

After the appetizer of this men's volleyball team, the most watched men's football match is finally about to begin.

The Chinese team's opponent tonight is also the Brazilian team, which is not only a focus battle for Chinese fans, but also a blockbuster matchup that the whole world is looking forward to!

In recent years, Brazil, as the most luxurious five-star army in the world, can be proud of the lineup on paper, including the game, it can also face any team to have the upper hand.

At the World Cup two years ago, the favorite five-star Brazil lost to the underdogs Italy.

But for most of the final in that match, it was the Brazilians who had the upper hand, and it could even be said that the Italians were overwhelmed by the majority of the time.

It's a pity that the Brazilian's conceited attitude and consistent looseness in the defensive end eventually cost them a Hercules Cup.

The Olympics were limited by rules and the Brazilians were unable to field their strongest squad two years earlier.

Of course, Brazilians don't attach much importance to the Olympic football game, which is known from the fact that most of the players under the age of 20 are in their squad, which is basically a national Olympic team.

Players from Europe and South America who have participated in the World Cup finals will not be allowed to participate in this Olympic Games, but it will not be until the next Olympics that the rule that "Olympic football players are limited to 23 years old and each team is allowed to have three overage players".

Therefore, as long as players who have not participated in the World Cup can participate in this Olympic Games, Brazil, a country with a surplus of football talent, can theoretically easily form a strong team with an average age of about 25 years old, and the combat effectiveness will not be much worse than the star-stolen team two years ago.

But the Brazilians didn't do that, and they chose to build a young team that was talented, but not disciplined, tactical, or teamwork.

This is naturally good news for the Chinese team, if it is really the five-star Brazil team two years ago, especially if it has overturned once, they really can't beat it now.

Although their "chain defense" can already be called Xiaocheng, when the opponent has a large number of stars with top individual strength and overflowing spirituality, this Xiaocheng's defensive system may still be insufficient.

But now in the face of a group of fledgling little geniuses who have not yet been beaten, the Chinese team's small chain defense is enough to lock them up and beat them socialistly.

Today's game was played at the "Rose Bowl Stadium", a super stadium that can accommodate 110,000 people, and about 10,000 local Americans, overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots from all over the world came today, but there are still not many Chinese students and spectators from Chinese mainland, and there are only about 1,000 people when it is full.

There were about 30,000 or 40,000 Brazilian spectators, and the rest were local Americans and audiences from all over the world.

Among these people, in addition to the Brazilian fans, they must support their own team, and the Chinese team actually has 20,000 or 30,000 supporters in addition to the yellow skin, which makes many national football players feel very surprised.

Wu Jie was naturally not surprised, these supporters were basically fans of him, Chen Haonan and Lin Yaodong.

Since the Chinese team wears red jerseys in most of the games, it now has the nicknames of "Chinese Red Devil" and "Asian Red Devil", which can be said to have gained a lot of popularity around the world.

For many foreign fans, this battle is just an opportunity to verify whether the rumor is true.

Asian fans, especially Japanese and Southern baseball fans, want to see how big the gap is between the so-called "1 cm stop" and "10 cm stop", and whether the Chinese team can play back and forth with the Brazilian team?

Chinese fans also want to see if their own team and the famous Brazilian team can really fight each other!

The Chinese team also attaches more importance to it than Brazil, which can be seen from the starters they sent-

Frontcourt: Liu Haiguang.

Midfielders: Ren Zhihui, Zhen Aiguo, Wu Jie, Chen Haonan, Gu Guangming.

Backcourt: Jiang Wei, Zhu Bo, Jia Xiuquan, Li Junwei.

Goalkeeper: Lin Yaodong.

Those who are now familiar with the "Asian Red Devils" should know that as long as the Chinese team sends this five-midfield lineup, it means that their control of the middle is inevitable.

"The Chinese team wants to fight with Brazil for midfield control?"

"It's worthy of the Asian Red Devils, very bold!"

"Although this Brazilian team is not very old, they are all the best of the younger generation in Brazil, does the Chinese team want to rely on two superstars to compete with the Brazilian team for midfield control?"

"The Chinese team's midfield configuration is very luxurious, but it is still not a wise decision to play against the Brazilians!"

“……”

As soon as the lineup of the Chinese team came out, the whole world was surprised that they actually wanted to fight hard with the Brazilian team!?

Generally speaking, Brazil's games don't need to be watched, and the midfield possession is often firmly grasped by them.

European teams will also not compete with Brazil for possession, as the Brazilian players are so delicate at their feet that if they force a battle with the Brazilian in midfield, they will fall into the Samba's favourite rhythm.

Two years ago, Italy conceded possession on their own initiative and then counter-attacked with an unsightly defensive counter-attack to defeat the egotistical Brazil.

It wasn't until the '86 World Cup that France dared to take on Brazil and fight for control of the midfield.

That's because the Frenchman is in his golden generation and has Platini at the heart of the golden triangle in midfield.

But even the best French team of the 80s was the underdog in that game.

Had it not been for Zico's missed penalty that would have lowered his historic stature considerably, the Frenchman would have paid the price for his head.

Today, the Chinese team looked like they were going to fight the Brazilians for possession, skill and control in midfield, and the challenge itself was enough to give fans around the world a look.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team really showed their solid basic skills, and actually fought with the Brazilian players in the midfield, and did not fall behind at all.

This surprised the whole world, but when you think about it, it's not so hard to understand.

The Chinese team's midfield has the world's most luxurious dual-core press, and Chen Haonan is now recognized as the world's No. 1 midfielder and the cornerstone of La Liga's No. 1 giant.

Wu Jie is recognized as the first person to reach the level of "King of Football" and is now only one "World Cup Champion" away from the title of "King of Football".

These two may not be at a disadvantage against a complete Brazilian midfield, and now facing this Brazil, which is strictly a national Olympic team, it is a little abnormal if they are at a disadvantage.

But the Chinese team played extremely pragmatically today, and there was no idea of training young people, because they knew that to beat the Brazilians, they could only rely on the performance of Wu Jie and Chen Haonan.

In addition to the advantage of three superstars, in fact, they are only slightly better defensively, not as fast as Brazil in terms of overall quality, wonderful coordination, gorgeous passing, and firepower on the offensive end, including creativity and imagination.

However, in terms of "basic skills", the Chinese team is indeed not bad, although this advantage is not an advantage in the face of Brazil.

Many fans are not clear about the difference between "basic skills" and "skills", the so-called "basic skills" can be understood as the basic actions taken apart on the football field, and the combination of these basic actions is "technology".

The basic skills of Chinese players are under the addition of discipline cards, using water drops and stones, and perseverance and stupid methods, which have now been tempered extremely solidly.

But "technique" is advanced by ball sense, spirituality, creativity, and athleticism.

Therefore, Wu Jie's world-famous manipulations, only a few people in this national football team can imitate them in the game.

It's not that he doesn't teach, it's that many things are really based on talent.

Zhao Dayu is a player with excellent skills in the team, but it is difficult to use actions such as "croquettes", "oxtail passing", and "alien turning" in the game.

But these Brazilian players are examples of the same solid fundamentals and better skills, and even their solid fundamentals are only half the time of most Chinese players.

This is the embodiment of talent, but this talent was not only shown in the first ten minutes of the opening game, but after that, the Brazilian talents were firmly locked in the defensive chain of the Chinese team.

Wu Jie and Chen Haonan not only showed their best on the offensive end, but also formed two formations of chain defense on the defensive end today.

Today, the Chinese players don't need to play with agility on the defensive end, they just need to keep an eye on the Brazilian players they are responsible for, and then make limited responses based on the two constantly moving eyes of Wu Jie and Chen Haonan.

In order for this defensive system to exert its full strength at this stage, Wu Jie must retreat slightly to direct the middle defense, and Chen Haonan is to connect in front of the back line.

The two of them connected the rest of the players like cogs in these two defensive chains, and then kept shaking these two defensive chains to block the Brazilian team's attack.

At this moment, the audience in front of the TV can feel that the Chinese players are like precision parts when defending, Wu Jie and Chen Haonan are like two sets of gears, and after the two sides meet, they are like a solemn clock that keeps circulating.

Of course, there is no doubt about the individual ability of the Brazilian talents, but they lack the big picture to penetrate these two defensive chains, and even less the ability to cooperate through the defensive chain, and every attacking player seems to have fallen into an isolated state of singles.

After the Chinese team used defense to lock up the Brazilians, they naturally did not forget to put pressure on the offensive end.

At this time, the Chinese team is still centered on Wu Jie and Chen Haonan, and the two defensive chains will swing forward with these two.

Everyone except the two of them belong to the auxiliary position when attacking, except for Ren Zhihui and Gu Guangming who can have a certain degree of breakthrough authority after taking the ball, and the rest of them are tool men on the offensive end.

At this time, there is no need for them to show their skills, as long as they can stop the passing of these four people, and then pass the ball out according to the tactics as soon as possible, and then actively run to pull, and return to defense immediately after losing the ball, which can be regarded as a full contribution.

In the 17th minute, the Brazilian team's attack was once again trapped by the defensive chain led by Chen Haonan because of the sticky ball, and then there was a fatal mistake.

After Li Junwei broke the ball, he directly handed the ball to Chen Haonan, who passed a precise long pass on the right side, and the football seemed to be equipped with a guide device, and after flying over a full 30 meters, he guided Gu Guangming to complete the breakthrough on the right side.

This attack also saw why Gu Guangming and Ren Zhihui could have the authority to break through with the ball, only to see that the Guangdong star first used a somewhat extraordinary stop in the sprint, and magically unloaded the long pass of more than 30 meters at his feet.

Of course, this may also be that Chen Haonan's passing is too accurate, but from a TV point of view, it looks like he is sticking the ball directly to his feet.

After Gu Guangming completed a legendary Brazilian-level stop, he did not stick the ball too much, nor did he go too deep, and after shaking off the defender with a quick stop, he sent the football into the penalty area with a second pass.

This pass can be regarded as playing the highest level of Gu Guangming, and I saw that the football drew an arc and flew right in front of Wu Jie, who was inserted at high speed.

But this half-high ball with full power and arc is much more difficult to stop than Chen Haonan's long pass with a guide device just now.

Wu Jie did not panic in the slightest, and in the face of the interference of a Brazilian player next to him, he gently knocked the ball on the lawn in front of him with his head.

After he made this choice, it doesn't seem too amazing from the audience's point of view.

But it was a stroke of genius for the defenders, and the Brazilian defenders didn't expect Wu Jie to make such an efficient and lethal stop in the midst of lightning.

In addition, this stoppage allows him to rush directly into the penalty area without slowing down, and the ball falls right on his next step.

At this time, no one could stop Wu Jie who rushed into the penalty area, only to see him take a step forward and immediately face the football is a strong volley, the future "free king" Tafarel in front of the Brazilian goal did not even have a chance to get out, and the ball slammed into the goal behind him at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye!
