When the Asian Cup came to an end amid noise and chaos, the Athens Olympics were about to take place.

Because the football program was in full swing before the start of the Games, the national Olympic team had to arrive in Athens earlier than the rest of the Chinese Olympic team, and the Chinese women's football team was joined in the Athens Olympic Village. The men's and women's football teams appeared together at the Olympics, which was the first time for Chinese football.

Having just finished a series of training matches in Europe, the players looked a little tired. But Qiu Suhui said to Chen Wei, who was worried: "Don't worry, fatigue is a good thing now, and the athlete's body is always between good and tired, like a curve that keeps rising and falling." Now these people are in the most tired period of their bodies, but when the competition starts, they will gradually return to their peak fitness and condition, and this form will be maintained until the end of the Olympics. ”

However, the national Olympic team is not fully reunited, and they are missing a midfielder.

"Everything is OK now, just wait for Li Yongle to come back." Qiu Suhui clapped his hands.

Chen Wei groaned: "I really didn't expect him to be favored by Inter Milan. ”

"Haha! In addition to his own strength, that Hua Fang is also very powerful. After selling Yang Pan to AC Milan, he sold Li Yongle to Inter Milan, and some of the Milan derbies in the future have been watched. ”

"Well, the Football Association has no opinion, and the Football Association will support these young players as long as they can go out. Li Yongle does not have a domestic club to pull him back, which will be much more convenient. Chen Wei also reassured Qiu Suhui. In fact, Li Yongle has registered as an amateur player in the Chinese Football Association because of his participation in the University League, but the Football Association has no right to stop Li Yongle from playing wherever he wants to play. Chen Wei's words mainly wanted Qiu Suhui to know that in the future, the Football Association will support this group of players who go abroad to play.

Chen Wei knew that during the training period in Europe, Li Yongle, who was not inferior to Yang Pan, would have to leave sooner or later. But he didn't expect that it would be such a big giant-Inter Milan. Even though he was just going to do an apprenticeship.

The news was finally learned by the media when Li Yongle left the team halfway and went to Milan, Italy with Hua Fang. Although there have been many speculations about Li Yongle's whereabouts before, and there are rumors about Inter Milan's favorite Li Yongle, no one thought that when the decision was made, it would really be Inter Milan.

AC Milan, Inter Milan. These two names, which have been worshiped by countless Chinese fans, have been so closely associated with Chinese football in one summer, and it all seems like a dream.

And for our client, he has just recovered from his dreamy reality. Inter Milan is interesting to him, he is also interesting to Inter Milan, and there should be no big problem for the two to be happy. However, the restriction that Serie A is only allowed to bring in one non-EU player per year makes this a bit of a problem. However, under the maneuver of Hua Fang, Li Yongle finally entered the Inter Milan youth team as an apprentice and participated in the Italian youth league with the team. Although he is already the heart of the midfield of the national Olympic team, at Inter Milan everything has to start again, just as he was when he first entered the national team half a year ago.

"Isn't it just starting from scratch?" Li Yongle can think of it, and he is very happy to be able to train in the club he loves.

The two sides quickly signed a contract, but Inter Milan and Li Yongle only signed a one-year contract. According to their words, if Li Yongle does not meet the club's requirements within a year, then there is naturally no need to renew his contract.

Hua Fang disagreed on this, but Li Yongle told her: "One year is enough. He said it quite seriously, not joking, not making excuses to comfort Hua Fang, he just had absolute confidence in himself.

The news that such an absolutely confident person joined Inter Milan as an apprentice has caused a lot of turmoil in China, and many people sighed again and again: the star of Chinese football actually went to someone else to be an apprentice, even if he casually went to the downstream team of a second-rate European league to play the main team, it is better than admiring this vanity, right?

It's a pity!

※※※

"Hey, Yang Pan. Li Yongle went to Inter Milan, and you are at AC Milan again, so you can watch the game between the two of you in the future! "A group of people were eating in a restaurant in the Olympic Village. Because the Chinese delegation has not yet stayed in the restaurant, the restaurant does not provide Chinese food for the time being, but fortunately, during the training in Europe, the team members are used to eating Western food.

Yang Pan raised his head: "Yes, I am also looking forward to fighting him." But this season shouldn't be possible, he's going to try to get into the first team and I'm going to have to fight for a place. ”

"I envy you!" Zhao Pengyu sighed that he can now gradually play some games in the Yanjing team, which is all thanks to the blessing of the Olympic qualifiers. However, around the national Olympic team are some people who have already played the main team abroad or are about to play abroad, so he can't help but think of the outside world to see for a long time.

As he was talking, Yang Pan's mobile phone rang, he looked at the caller ID, then got up and walked out, and connected the mobile phone at the same time: "Hey, Sister Hua?" What's the matter with me? ”

Xiang Tao looked at the back of Yang Pan leaving, as well as the food on the table that had not moved a few bites. "A big star is a big star, and he can't even eat a good meal when he's too busy—" He deliberately dragged out his tone, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

On the other hand, Wang Yu touched Xiang Tao: "How did you think about what Qiu Zhi said?" He was referring to a Belgian club that Qiu Suhuituo had found for Xiang Tao. Because Belgium does not have non-EU restrictions, and is close to the three football powerhouses of the Netherlands, Germany and France, the level is not bad. It should be conducive to Xiang Tao's growth.

In fact, this time in Europe, Qiu Suhui not only trained the team, he arranged so many warm-up games, just to show this new national Olympic team to European teams. So with the rise of this team's results, it has also attracted the attention of many club scouts. A number of high-performing players have already been contacted by scouts and their agents. For those players who don't have an agent, Qiu Suhui became a temporary agent, but this can't last long, after all, he doesn't have a FIFA approved agent license, and many things are not easy to talk about, so he directly recommends these people to some clubs he has stayed in the past, of course, those clubs are credible and have the conditions to let these children grow up.

This is how Xiang Tao was recommended to a club in Belgium, which is quite famous, its name is Anderlecht. As a long-established Belgian team, the team has a long history and good traditions. As regulars in the UEFA Champions League every year, they have many opportunities to play against European giants, and a series of perfect youth training systems and professional management make Qiu Suhui feel at ease with them.

But most importantly, Qiu Suhui, who is the head coach of the national Olympic team, has been the youth team manager here for a while, and Anderlecht's current chairman, Roger Vandenstock, and first-team head coach Hugobroos have a good personal relationship with Qiu. Bross was once Qiu Suhui's assistant in the youth team.

With such a relationship, Qiu Suhui's recommendation of Xiang Tao in the past seems to be relatively smooth, after all, there is also the successful experience of South Korean Xue Qixuan here, and the club is also willing to accept high-quality and inexpensive Asian players.

It is also worth mentioning that the most glorious years of the Dutchman's coaching career, Ali Han, who is currently the head coach of the Chinese national team, were seven years in Anderlecht, and it was he who built Anderlecht into a team that the whole of Europe did not dare to underestimate.

Plus the famous attraction in Brussels, the China Pavilion. Anderlecht's fate in China is not shallow.

Xiang Tao nodded: "If there are no accidents, I will go to Belgium for a physical examination and sign a contract after the Olympics, starting from the second-tier team." The Sichuan club didn't do much to obstruct it, just kept a few words of symbolic surname, and went with Xiang Tao. It seems that the club really wants Xiang Tao to leave.

"Good! We'll be teammates from then on! Please advise! Wang Yu exclaimed happily.

"Huh? Girl, you ......"

"If there are no accidents, I will also go to Belgium after the Olympics to have a medical examination and sign a contract, and then I will start from the second team with you." Wang Yu said in Xiang Tao's tone just now.

"What? Why didn't Lao Qiu tell me? Xiang Tao was surprised.

"Hee-hee! I didn't let Qiu Zhi tell you, I want to surprise you! Wang Yu said with a smile.

And Xiang Tao thought about it, no wonder when Qiu Suhui told him about it, there was always something inscrutable in his eyes, it turned out that he suspected that there was that kind of abnormal male-male relationship between him and the girl!

I said! Xiang Tao suddenly felt a chill.

※※※

"What? Back to Bologna? Yang Pan was a little surprised.

"Yes, AC Milan have reached an agreement with Bologna FC and as an AC Milan player, you will be on loan at Bologna until the end of the season. Hua Fang said to Yang Pan on the phone. While dealing with Li Yongle's affairs in Milan City, she also went to handle Yang Pan's affairs. It seems that Mazzoni values Yang Pan very much, and after Yang Pan switched to AC Milan, he still wants to loan him back.

AC Milan also considered that Yang Pan is currently unable to play in Milan, as a team that has just won the league championship, the head coach will not easily change players, unless he is particularly famous or powerful. Obviously, the current Yang Pan can't let Ancelotti use it with confidence, so it's better to let it out to exercise, just like the Argentine central defender Kolozzini back then. The two clubs hit it off, and then Milan told Hua Fang, who came to confirm Yang Pan's opinion.

"Don't you want to leave Milan?" Hua Fang saw that Yang Pan didn't speak for a long time, thinking that he was dissatisfied with being loaned.

Yang Pan came back to his senses at this time: "No, I'm happy to go back." ”

Hua Fang didn't notice that Yang Pan used "go back" instead of "go". He had been stunned since he heard the news just now, not because he was reluctant to Milan, but because he remembered everything in Bologna, especially the Chinese restaurant.

"Oh, that's good. Since you agreed, I'll say that to both clubs. You don't have to go back to Milan after the Olympics, you can go straight to Bologna to report. After speaking, Hua Fang hurriedly hung up the phone, and it could be seen that she was very busy.

Yang Pan also put away the phone. I didn't expect that I didn't even see what my Milan teammates looked like, so I was about to leave Milan and return to Bologna. But that's fine, you can see Elan again. He smiled, turned and walked back to the restaurant.

Football at the Olympics should be the first to start at the Olympics. When the Olympic delegations of many countries were just entering the Olympic Village, the football matches had already started early.

In the men's competition, the Chinese team was placed in Group A, in the same group as the hosts Greece, Mali and Mexico. In this group, Mexico's strength should not be underestimated, and the host Greece is a big obstacle on the way to the Chinese team's advancement.

The other three groups are in Group B: Paraguay, Benz, Ghana and Italy are in Group B; Argentina, Serbia and Montenegro (Serbia and Montenegro Tunisia) and Australia are in Group C; Group D consists of Costa Rica, Morocco, Iraq and Portugal.

The top two teams from each group advance to the quarterfinals, where they will compete to determine the final winner. Argentina and Italy are the strongest of all the teams in the competition, and they are the favourites to win gold. Portugal, on the other hand, is a slight second, one of the teams that have the ability to compete for medals. Once the top three are allocated, the remaining rankings are determined by the strength of the remaining teams.

This is the opinion of many critics.

But this summer's dark horse whirlwind did not mean to let go of the Athens Olympics.

In the women's football match held on the afternoon of August 11, the first day of the competition, the Chinese women's football team, which was once the world's second, a traditional powerhouse, and also carried countless good memories and expectations of Chinese fans, was unexpectedly beaten into a sieve in the match with the German women's football team, the champion of the previous World Cup.

You must know that in the warm-up match between the two teams before the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's football team also defeated the new champion 1:0, which gave the Chinese people great confidence that the replacement of the old and new Chinese women's football team was finally successfully completed. Zhang Haibin and his players also played with a relaxed mentality. But is the German striker, World Cup Golden Boot and Ballon d'Or winner of Prinz a wasted name? She scored four goals alone in the game, making the former sonorous roses wither overnight. Even the German reporters at the scene said to the Chinese reporters with some apologies: "It's so miserable, how can this be?" "Actually, they don't have to apologize at all. It is inevitable that if we fall behind, we will be beaten. If you want to blame, you can only find the reason from yourself, instead of blaming the Germans for destroying flowers.

When the news of the Chinese women's football team's 0:8 defeat to Germany reached the headquarters of the Chinese Olympic delegation, officials of all sizes couldn't help but shiver. As a result, this score is simply unheard of! Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chinese football has never been scored by an opponent with eight goals, and the most humiliating thing for the Chinese men's football team is only the 0:6 loss to Barcelona in the European training in the first half of the year, which has been unanimously considered a great shame by the media, and even some fans have asked to set that day as a shame for Chinese football. Unexpectedly, a few months later, the Chinese women's football team broke this shameful record. 0:8, the fig leaf that the Chinese Football Association once tried and tested was also torn into eight pieces, and at this moment, everyone who caused this result was nailed to the pillar of shame.

Chen Wei received a notice from above, as the most concerned men's football team in the football project. In any case, we must not lose face like that, and even if we lose, we must not surrender our guns.

This news was immediately uploaded to the National Olympic team, which undoubtedly made the already abnormal atmosphere in the team even more abnormal. Qiu Suhui was very annoyed by the "good deeds" done by those "officials". Every time he spends a lot of effort to adjust the mentality of the players, those who are officials will definitely make trouble with a strained face, as if these people were born to make trouble for Chinese football.

But there are still two people in the team who don't belong to the vast majority. Yang Pan always looked expressionless in front of the media, so people couldn't tell from his face whether he was nervous or not. But he himself knows very well that after going through Serie A, if there is anything that can make him tremble, it is only because of excitement, not nervousness.

As for the other person, you can figure out who it is with your ass.

"Wowhaha! Host! We played the opening match against the hosts! Xiang Tao was shouting excitedly after seeing the results of the match.

"Hey, Xiang Tao. Aren't you nervous about playing the host? Besides, it's our first time playing in the Olympics. And the top has just issued a ......" Lin Feng looked at Xiang Tao with some concern, afraid that he would laugh into a nervous disorder.

"Say! Let those who are in power die! Lao Tzu is not interested in caring about them! Lao Tzu was excited just at the thought of being able to slaughter the turtle sons of the Greek team in front of the Greek fans! Xiang Tao was indeed excited, like taking ecstasy.

"I'm afraid someone killed you, idiot." Li Suisheng snorted coldly on the side.

"What do you say, Lebanon?"

"Hey! Hurry up and hold Xiang Tao, otherwise the night's game hasn't started yet, and our side will lose two main forces first! ”

"Don't mind! Xiang Tao finally transformed once, how could he stop it? ”

"Yes, yes, watch the show! I sell tea melon seeds here! ”

"Then I will be responsible for the opening, the bet Xiang Tao wins with his left hand, and Li Suisheng wins with his right hand!"

"I said! Girl, gathering crowds to gamble is illegal, do you know? ”

"Hahaha!"

Qiu Suhui straightened his waist, then turned his head and shrugged at Chen Wei behind him: "Did you hear everything?" These kids ...... Hehe! Don't worry too much. Maybe we're going to have some trouble, but it shouldn't be a problem to make it to the quarterfinals, let's go, come with me for one last cup of coffee, the game is approaching. ”

Chen Wei looked back at the door again, and the people behind the door seemed to be having a good time. Originally, I wanted to come to relieve their pressure, but it seems that I was too worried. But......

The player named "Xiang Tao" is really open-mouthed......

The famous tourist destination of Crete, located in southern Greece, is the site of the football stadium of the Athens Olympic Games. The name is a bit awkward to pronounce at the Heraclio Pankritrio Stadium, where the Chinese team will play the opening match of the Olympic men's soccer match against hosts Greece. With the women's team unexpectedly losing to Germany this afternoon, all eyes are naturally on the men's team and hopefully it won't be too humiliating this time.

But there are still many fans who have great hopes for this national Olympic team. Just like in the World Cup in South Korea, people always have big or small illusions about the Chinese team, but the final result was disappointing, and even Costa Rica, which was said to be the weakest in the group stage, failed to win, which made many people's previous wishful thinking all come to naught.

So what about this national Olympic team?

"The Greek national team has just won the European Championship and is in high spirits. The national Olympic team is also experiencing high morale due to its influence. But that's also their weakness, because they will take the enemy lightly. Yang Pan will be the person they pay the most attention to, and others will naturally be ignored by them, which gives us an opportunity. Li Yongle, one more trip, how is your condition? ”

Li Yongle gave a thumbs up to Qiu Suhui, who looked at him: "There is nothing better than now." ”

"Good. The opponent doesn't know us, but we don't know them much better. It's an encounter. But no matter who the opponent is, it's enough to play your own stuff just like when you're training. Also, I'll tell you a little more. Qiu Suhui said very seriously, and the team members thought it was a very important matter, and they all stared at Qiu Suhui equally seriously, looking forward to his next step.

"Leave him alone with orders from above. Actually, they're all farting. ”

Everyone was stunned, and then laughed together. Qiu Zhi came to this move again at a critical moment. Now they have completely forgotten about the situation of their opponents, and their minds are full of the appearance of FA officials blushing and farting in the game.

※※※

When the players of both sides stood in the field and listened to the national anthem, some people were relieved. I suddenly realized that I had stepped on the Olympic Games like this, and it was not as complicated and sacred as I had imagined before. It's like any ordinary game.

Yang Pan stood at the front of the team with the captain's armband, he put his right hand on the flag on his left chest, and looked up at the somewhat glaring roof of the Pankritrio Stadium with a blank face.

"Tsk! As I get older, I can't see a trace of emotional change on this occasion! Li Yan put down the binoculars and sighed to Wang Hua beside him. He's a natural captain. ”

"March of the Volunteers" echoed over the stadium, leaving some people to sigh. After 16 years, it finally played on the field of the Olympic men's football competition again.

When the national anthem was played, the Chinese team members raised their hands and greeted the hundreds of Chinese spectators who came from all over the world. Whether you are a fan or not, you are here to cheer for China. Of course, the fans themselves will be more enthusiastic, such as Niu Jianhua and Lao Niu. He came to Greece at his own expense to watch the National Olympic Games and cheer for Chinese football.

He wore his upper body and drew a five-star red flag on his chest with oil paint, which sparkled in the lights of the stadium. At this time, he was vigorously waving a national flag several times larger than others.

I just heard the news of the women's football fiasco this afternoon, and I hope the men's football team can fight for China.

The game was broadcast live to the whole of China, and the Chinese fans in front of the TV at this time did not know how many, and they did not know how many beers there were.

Wang Jianxiang sat in the press center in Athens, watching the signal from the front to explain. Due to the lack of CCTV manpower, many games did not go to the scene, which made Wang Jianxiang somewhat regretful. Watching TV and watching the scene, it feels much worse after a TV.

"Audience friends, I believe there must be many fans who are staying up late in front of the TV at this time, right? I'm here to tell you about the game in our press center in Athens. The Greek Olympic team will face the Chinese Olympic team! The game is just a few minutes away, so I'm going to take advantage of that time to give you an overview of the line-up. The starting lineup of the Chinese team is like this, the goalkeeper is No. 1 Sima Hongxin; The two central defenders are No. 5 Liu Peng and No. 6 Li Suisheng; The left wingback is No. 13 Xiang Tao, and the right fullback is No. 2 Wang Liang; two back midfielders No. 14 Wang Yu and No. 15 Li Yongle; Zhao Pengyu, No. 8 on the left and Yang Pan on the right, No. 7 on the right, are also the captains on the field; No. 10 Lin Feng in the front waist; Forward No. 9 Li Jie. The Chinese team played a 451 formation. Here's a look at the Greek team's appearance......"

※※※

"Hey, girl. Did you write down the list of the opponent's appearances that Lao Qiu gave us just now? While the ball hadn't kicked off yet, Xiang Tao asked Wang Yu in front of him.

"Nope!" Wang Yu had a bitter face. "The names of the Greeks are all from this Snaz, how can I remember them? To be honest, I don't even know the name of the place we're playing right now......"

"Say, how will you defend them then?"

"Melon! Don't you know the number? ”

"Oh."

In fact, when it comes to the name, the head coach of the Greek team, Apostolakis, also has a headache. In his eyes, Chinese not only look the same, but also have similar names. He only knows that the Chinese team is fast, because the representative figure is Yang Pan. As a teenager who has just joined AC Milan, he is definitely a dangerous man. In addition, fortunately, Zhang Jun was injured and did not come, and the fame of these two in European football has gradually increased, and Apostolakis has heard more or less about them, if the two of them join forces, Greece will be in trouble.

But the Chinese team with only one Yang Pan is much easier to deal with. Apostolakis unwittingly made the same mistake as South Korea's head coach Kim Ho-kun.

"The referee's whistle blows! The race is on! Wearing a white shirt and white shorts on the field from left to right is the Chinese Olympic team. And wearing a blue shirt and white shorts from right to left is the host Greek Olympic team! ”

※※※

Chinese fans are holding back their energy, and even Wang Jianxiang, who is commenting on the game, is also holding back his energy, looking forward to the surprise of the national Olympic team that has been pinned on high hopes in the game.

But......

"Huh?" Wang Jianxiang was stunned in front of the microphone, he didn't see it clearly just now, only to see the Greek players suddenly raise their arms and cheer, while the football was lying quietly in the goal of the Chinese team. "What's going on?"

Qiu Suhui stood up, and he didn't see it clearly just now. A corner kick from Greece turned into a pot of porridge in the penalty area, and then the opponent began to celebrate the goal.

The goal was being replayed on TV, and all the Chinese fans were looking wide for clues that a foul could have disallowed the goal. But when everyone saw the corner, no one got the ball, and the ball fell into the box. Then Greek striker Amanatidis stabbed Liu Peng in front of him, and the ball bounced off the post.

Then Xiang Tao cleared the siege with a big foot. However, the football hit the back of Amanatidis, who was doing an instinctive dodge, and flew towards the goal!

Sima Hongxin hurriedly flew to pounce, but he was a step too late!

Seeing that the football was about to enter the goal, it hit the crossbar and bounced back! The Chinese player, who thought he had escaped, didn't even catch his breath, but the football hit Sima Hongxin on the back of the head, and then flew into the goal slowly......

"Too ...... That's an exaggeration, right? Qiu Suhui looked at the big screen and opened his mouth for a long time without closing it. Sima Hongxin flew in the air, and the back of his head was so small that the football also collided. I don't have such good luck buying lottery tickets!

"This ...... I don't know if the ball should be counted at Xiang Tao's feet, or on the back of Amanatidis's back, or on the back of Sima Hongxin's head? Wang Jianxiang said helplessly, it is really a natural disaster [***]. No one expected that the Chinese team would concede a goal in less than 20 minutes, and it was a goal in such a funny way......
