The 3-1 win over Uruguay put China in first place in the Group A standings, which was also China's first win and first three points at the Olympics.

For the first victory, the media was more cautious, only congratulating the team, and then reminding the players to guard against arrogance and rashness, and not to capsize in the gutter again.

Three days later, on July 30, the Chinese team welcomed Senegal, the opponent of the second round of the group stage.

Senegal, located in West Africa, is not a traditional African powerhouse such as Cameroon and Nigeria, but it has a number of players who play in major leagues.

For example, the old captain Cisse was not the Frenchman who was tackled by Zheng Zhi, but the one who later joined Shandong Luneng, and he scored 15 goals in the just-concluded 2011-12 season, probably more than all the players in the Chinese team except Long Shute combined......

Another example is Demba Ba, who together with Cisse formed the "Black Wind Twins" in the Premier League powerhouse "Magpies" Newcastle team, and the goal efficiency was considerable, helping Newcastle reach the fifth place in the league.

Another example is Mane, who was born in 92 and has just turned 20 years old, he just became a professional player a year ago, and only played for the French second-tier league team Metz, and it is even more regrettable that Metz was relegated last season to the one Wang Chu played for, and he is also Wang Chu's teammate......

In the eyes of Lonshette, the now-unknown youngster became a thigh-level player for the Premier League's traditional giants Liverpool a few years later.

Senegalese players have the general excellent physical qualities of African players, and in this regard, it is indeed difficult for Chinese players to compare, but they also have the shortcomings of African players who rely too much on individual ability, lack of discipline, and simple tactical thinking.

But...... When it comes to relying on individual ability, how can they be as serious as the Chinese team?

The overall rating of Senegalese players is very average, generally reaching the level of 75 or more, and Demba Ba, who has scored a lot of goals in the Premier League, is more than 85, while the average evaluation of the Chinese team is only a pitiful 65 points, which is still thanks to the 93-point Long Shute to help them improve a lot, otherwise it is likely to fall directly below the passing line, and the strength of the two teams is not at the same level at all.

So Lonshit had a bit of a hard time in this game, not only did he have to fight with the opponent's main striker Demba Ba, but also retreated to the wing from time to time to race with winger Mane, and then he had to take on almost all the offensive tasks......

Fortunately, although there are no offensive players in this batch of national Olympic teams, several midfielders still have good qualities:

Zhang Lin, Wu Xi, Li Jianbin, Zheng Zheng, Jiang Zhipeng, Cao Ding, Rao Weihui, and goalkeeper Wang Dalei have basically played in the Chinese Super League for one or two seasons and have some game experience.

In addition to the defenders, there are also strikers Wu Lei and Zhang Chengdong who are slightly famous in this batch of national Olympic teams, but one of them scored goals in the Central League, and the other was a substitute in Portugal, and from the perspective of resume, they are even inferior to those defenders.

The good news is that Senegal really doesn't have a tactical system, and most of them are fighting on their own, except for club teammates Demba Ba and Cisse, which is a similar smell to the Chinese team, which is also not good at teamwork......

Another piece of good news is that goalkeeper Wang Dalei performed bravely today, he alone contributed 7 saves, including saving Demba Ba twice to score, although he did not complete a clean sheet, but made the post-game highlights not only Long Shute play.

When the 90 minutes were over, the Chinese team, which had Mr. Golden Ball Long Shute and Wang Dalei, who was also known as the "big player", had the last laugh.

Their attacking core is stronger than their opponents, and their goalkeepers are crazier than their opponents...... Even though it wasn't a pretty one, they still managed to get their second win!

“2-1！ Relying on Long Shute's pass and shot, the Chinese team defeated the African powerhouse Senegal! ”

Liu Jiayuan, who was in charge of the commentary of the game, looked at the players who were raising their arms and chanting on the court, and said happily:

"Congratulations to the boys of the National Olympic team, in the group stage, we won two consecutive victories and took the lead in the group of death!"

"We have already qualified ahead of schedule with all six points, the hosts with one win and one draw are in second place with a two-point difference, Senegal with one draw and one loss is in third place, and there is still a theoretical possibility of qualifying, while Uruguay, who lost both games, will not qualify."

Commentator Nangong Lei praised the performance of the Chinese team from another angle:

"Great Britain have the advantage, but if Senegal beat Uruguay in the final round of the group stage and they themselves lose to China, then it will be China and Senegal who will advance to the knockout round, in other words...... If the host wants to advance, it depends on our faces......"

Although Nangong Lei's analysis is very reasonable, such an ending is unlikely to happen.

The Chinese are the most polite, so they will never let the host be disgraced in front of them.

Four days later, Senegal beat Uruguay 3-0 in the third round of the group stage, but still had to accept the fate of being eliminated.

Because in another match that ended at the same time, the British team and the Chinese team drew 0-0!

A draw is enough to make both the Chinese team and the British team happy!

The country of origin of ancient football and the country of origin of modern football, Asian England and European Chinese teams...... At this moment, join hands and march to the quarterfinals together!

The officials of the two football associations in the VIP seats in the stands were all smiling, and the scene of Chairman Cai and FA President David Bernstein shaking hands warmly has also become a memorable picture in the history of Chinese and British football.

Britain is not China, they have always prided themselves on the origins of modern football, and a miserable elimination in the group stage would undoubtedly bring shame on their football.

Qualifying from the group is undoubtedly the bottom line for England, and there are even many English fans who are optimistic that their team can win the title on their home soil......

The British government will not force such a thing as winning the championship, but the most basic face must be saved.

Just like China hosting the World Table Tennis Championships, if you can't even enter the finals, most of the leaders of this table tennis association will become national sinners......

Football has never been about politics, but ...... Who would really believe it?

On the first day of August, the men's football group stage matches were all over, and the teams that qualified from each group were also released simultaneously.

Group A is China with 7 points and Great Britain with 5 points.

Group B is Mexico with 7 points and South Korea with 5 points.

Group C is Brazil with 9 points and Egypt with 3 points, and the Samba Army is also the only team to win all three games, so they are the favorites to win the title.

Group D is played by Japan with 7 points and Honduras with 5 points.

After being beaten by Japan and Honduras, the other favourites before the tournament, Spain drew 0-0 with Morocco in the third round, leaving them with just one point from three games.

Among the teams that advanced to the quarterfinals, only England belonged to Europe, Honduras and Mexico belonged to North and Central America, Brazil belonged to South America, and Egypt belonged to Africa, while China, Japan and South Korea made the whole of Asian football cheer......

But before the cheers could be heard, there was no sound again.

The South Korean team crashed headlong into the arms of the hosts, while the Chinese team ...... Then you have to fight against the Japanese team.

Asian teams will lose at least one spot in this round, and the worst case scenario is that South Korea will be killed by the hosts, while China and Japan, whoever wins, will lose their troops and lose their vitality because of the old rivals!

But...... That's not to say they've been hacked, because there's no lottery at all! All of them are based on pre-set schedules and rules!

God can only be blamed for this!
