For the victory of the national Olympic team, the Chinese people are holding an almost crazy joy, and everyone is supporting the national Olympic team and Qiu Suhui. People began to make various arrangements for the future of the national Olympic team in this Olympic Games, plus Yang Pan's sentence: "Champion, gold medal." It makes some people start to treat the future irrationally.

The Chinese national team had just lost the championship in the Asian Cup, but immediately the national Olympic team made people enjoy a joy and see victory at the same time.

Think of the scene when the national Olympic team was just formed more than a year ago, at that time almost no one had any hope for this group of poor hairy boys with little experience in the game, and the pessimism contained a lot of opposition, and now it is ......

Fate really likes to play tricks on people.

※※※

But within the Football Association, he was very annoyed by Yang Pan's words and deeds. Where does a captain casually say that he wants to win a gold medal, where does he put the position of the Football Association? But annoyance is annoyance, and the Football Association does not intend to dwell on this issue at this time. After all, the Olympics is a large-scale international event, stared at by hundreds of millions of pairs of eyes, if you punish a player in this way, I am afraid that it will be laughed at internationally, and when making a punishment, we must also consider the number one contributor to the first victory of the Chinese team, the best player on the spot, and the most popular player at present. Punishing him will cause public outrage in the country.

So when a reporter interviewed a senior executive of the Football Association about Yang Pan's "gold medal" declaration, the senior executive could only smile awkwardly and say: "After all, it's still young, and it's normal to talk big." Ha, haha! ”

And the person concerned is as if nothing has happened, ignoring other people's opinions. Li Yongle admired him a little, he was in the center of the incident, but he seemed to have nothing to do with him. So calm, it really deserves to come out of Serie A. It seems that Italy is indeed very exercised, and thinking about it in this way, he is even more eager to look forward to the upcoming life in Italy.

Li Yongle doesn't just drool every day and waits to go to Inter Milan. He began to learn Italian with the help of Yang Pan. Li Yongle, who has a university background, learns faster, and he is a midfielder, so he is good at using his brain to think, so he can basically blurt out a few simple Italian phrases.

But this is a pain for his teammates, who have to face Li Yongle's sudden attack on Italian when they have nothing to do.

In addition, Anderlecht head coach Bross, who has inspected Xiang Tao and Wang Yu on the spot, is very satisfied with the performance of the two Chinese youngsters, and he said to Qiu Suhui: "Very potential, especially the No. 13 Xiang Tao, he will become an excellent star in the future!" ”

The next important part is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games have attracted much attention, and the participating delegations will also pay special attention to the admission at this opening ceremony. Because in a sense, this moment is the real beginning of their sixteen-day Olympic Games, from the moment they set foot on the main Olympic venue.

Because of the exciting performance of the national Olympic team, the Chinese Olympic team temporarily decided to adjust the order of the teams. Originally, it was intended that the National Olympic team would be at the back of the entire team, but now it is different, they will be at the front, followed by the four team leaders.

Yang Pan has no objection to this arrangement, isn't he just following? What's so hard about it? The other team members didn't think so, and they were nervous to death. Wow, so many cameras on you! Wow, so many pairs of eyes staring at yourself! Wow, if something goes wrong, it's a shame to be thrown internationally! Wow......

Qiu Suhui really doesn't understand these boys, I didn't see them nervous to this point during the game, it's almost a group!

"Hey, Xiang Tao. What do you say I'm going to wear? Wang Yu repeatedly compared her clothes in front of the dressing mirror like a woman.

"I said! It is stipulated that you are only allowed to wear Olympic uniforms, what else do you want to wear? Evening dresses? ”

"Oh, forgot, forgot...... What do you think I should do if a camera is pointed at me? Smile? Waving? Or pretend to be cool? Wang Yu made "smiles", "waves" and "pretending to be cool" in the mirror.

Xiang Tao was a little impatient, he was lying on the bed and writing a postcard to his home. "I said you're a girl, huh? Just strip and go inside! ”

"Well, good idea...... What? What are you talking about? Wang Yu, who reacted, threw himself at Xiang Tao, but Xiang Tao turned over smartly and rolled to the ground, making the girl pounce.

"What's the trouble? We'll just have to go along. Think so much and be careful that it will be self-defeating when the time comes. Xiang Tao grabbed the postcard on the bed, lay on the ground and continued to write.

Wang Yu turned over, lay on his back on the bed, looked at the ceiling and muttered, "Indeed, it may be better if everything goes naturally...... But, the opening ceremony! It's still very exciting! ”

The opening ceremony of the Athens Olympics was held at the main Olympic stadium in Marosi, a northern suburb of Athens. It is a large stadium with a capacity of 55,000 spectators, which was built for the Olympic Games and will host the finals of the athletics and football events.

Although the opening ceremony will not start until the evening, the spectators have been marching to the stadium since the afternoon, waiting for the opening ceremony to begin.

When night fell on the city of Athens, the opening ceremony finally began with the beating of 400 drummers.

It should be said that the Greeks took great pains to perform for the opening ceremony, and they were very bold to turn the lawn of the main stadium into the Aegean Sea, and pulled more than 100 steel wires over the stadium to create stunts. Then the Greek mythology was interpreted in a highly condensed manner, and more than 400 Greek "mythological figures" crowded into small boats appeared on the stage, which was indeed a bit shocking. But for those who know little about Greek mythology, they can't understand what these strangely dressed men and women mean without explanation.

For the members of the Chinese Olympic team, this is the case. A group of idiots opened their eyes wide and searched for the twelve Golden Saint Seiyas among more than four hundred people. Some people shouted in shame: "I see the goddess Athena!" But why aren't Seiya and Zilong next to her? ”

Even more desperate was the person who answered him: "Stupid! Seiya's kind of bronze powerhouse is not qualified to stand in this place at all! ”

Yang Pan stood to the side, afraid that someone would connect him with them.

……

It's finally time for the athletes to come out. Because the order of appearance in this year's Olympic Games is arranged according to the Greek alphabet, the Chinese delegation, which is "kinaΣ (the last letter corresponds to the English s, but not pronounced)" in Greek, has changed from 41st in the previous edition to 78th, and they will play in front of Kyrgyzstan.

Standing in the hall, watching the procession pass in front of them and disappear at the entrance of the passage, and then there was a burst of applause and cheers in the hall, and some people became more and more nervous. This is the opening ceremony, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games! They only have one chance in their lives.

Yang Pan put his hand on the shoulder of his teammate next to him who was trembling because of nervousness, and said to him with a smile: "Instead of missing out on the excitement because of nervousness, it is better to enjoy it." Look, learn from me! He held up his phone, which could take pictures, and pressed the shutter around him. Take a photo as a souvenir and it will look interesting in the future! ”

The Kenyan delegation came out and they began to move outward.

"Be quiet! We're next! Everybody prepare, check and check. Then walk into the field in order! Li Furong, the leader of the Chinese delegation, raised his hands and shouted to more than 200 people.

The crowd quickly fell silent. Qiu Suhui is also in the National Olympic team, and like everyone else, he is wearing the uniform uniform of the delegation today - a red suit, white trousers, and a small national flag in his hand. "Alright, it's our turn! Let's go! Seeing that everyone was a little stunned, he shouted at the team members again. Let's go to the race! He pointed to the brightly lit exit.

Yao Ming, who is two meters and twenty-six tall, took the lead with the national flag, followed by several regiment leaders, and then the National Olympic team.

"Audience friends! Now the Chinese sports delegation is in attendance, and the flag bearer of the Chinese sports delegation today is the little giant Yao Ming. Since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, the Chinese sports delegation has been held by men's basketball players. A total of 237 members of the Chinese delegation attended tonight's opening ceremony. Ah, what appears in the camera now is the Chinese men's football Olympic team! They beat hosts Greece 2-1 in yesterday's game to claim their first all-time victory! This is Yang Pan, the captain of the national Olympic team, he has successfully joined the Serie A giants AC Milan this summer, and it was his two goals in the game that helped the national Olympic team get off to a good start! ”

Mr. Yang didn't seem to know that a camera was giving him a close-up, and he just took pictures of him with his phone — a move that later upset the General Administration of Sport again — and the rest of the team waved the flag to the stands in almost unison. When passing by the rostrum, Yang Pan stopped what he was doing, and then turned his head to look at the rostrum.

Zhang Jun, can you see it? I'm right now under the podium, with them. It would be nice if you were by my side too!

※※※

"Fei Fei! Look, Yang Pan! Ha, that kid is still playing with his phone, and he really doesn't feel nervous at all! After being alone with Sophie for a long time, Zhang Jun no longer called her by her name, but changed her nickname to "Fei Fei". At this time, he was hugging Sophie, sitting on the sofa and pointing at Yang Pan in the TV and laughing.

Sophie didn't respond to Jang Jun, just smiled and looked at the TV. Yang Pan has already stood at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and he used to be neighbors who went to school and left school together! Hehe, everyone has grown up!

But in any case, it's good that Zhang Jun and I don't separate! Sophie hugged Zhang Jun's hands and added a lot of force.

Zhang Jun felt Sophie's abnormality, lowered his head and asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's a little cold." Sophie smiled and pressed her face to Zhang Jun's chest, snuggling up to Zhang Jun's wide and warm arms like a kitten.

"Cold? Could it be that the air conditioner is turned on too much? Zhang Jun was a little puzzled. I'm going to turn up the air conditioner. As he spoke, he wanted to get up and go to the remote control.

But Sophie hugged Zhang Jun tightly and didn't let him get up: "No, don't move." That's good. She whispered.

Zhang Jun looked down at Sophie, then smiled and hugged Sophie tighter.

In less than two minutes, the Chinese delegation walked past the podium, turned a corner, walked towards the center of the venue, and then stopped there to wait for the rest of the process.

……

Icelandic singer Björk sang the theme song "Ocean" of the Olympic Games.

Mrs. Angelops, President of the Athens Organising Committee, delivered a speech.

IOC President Rogge delivered a speech.

The President of Greece opened the XXVIII Olympic Games in Athens.

……

The famous Greek sailor Konamanas lit the flame, which would last for 16 days.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is over.

※※※

"Ahh Exhausted! As soon as Xiang Tao returned to the dormitory in the Olympic Village, he threw the whole person on the bed, lazily not wanting to move anymore. It's more tiring than playing a ball! ”

"Then stop making a fuss and go to bed." Yang Pan's voice rang out at the door.

"You still have the strength to come to the door?" Xiang Tao rolled over and sat up.

"No, it's just that Qiu Zhi asked me to let me know. Rest early, and the day after tomorrow there will be a game against Mexico. If you don't take a break, you'll have to jump 10 laps in training tomorrow. Yang Pan said expressionlessly and turned around and left.

Xiang Taowei behind him screamed and lay on his back on the bed.

On the second day, during the training on the 14th, Qiu Suhui did not arrange much training content considering that he had just participated in the opening ceremony. In fact, since the start of the competition, his training has been focused on recovery. Today, it was only for Mexico to practice the set-piece attacking routine and the tactics of switching from defense to attack, and then it was disbanded. The day after tomorrow, they will travel to the Kaleskak Stadium in Athens to take on their second opponent in the group stage, Mexico.

With Mexico held to a 0-0 draw by Mali from Africa in the opening round, they must win this match to retain their chance of progressing to the knockout rounds.

But the Olympic team did not let wishful thinking get Mexico's wish. At the Kaleskak Stadium, in front of more than 1,000 Chinese fans, Li Yongle scored his first goal of the Olympics with his best curled shot, the only goal of the game.

Judging from the field, the morale of the Chinese team who won the first game was very strong, and they gave full play to Qiu Suhui's requirements of "playing offensive football", just like the second half with the Greek team, and suppressed Mexico for 90 minutes.

The midfielder created a lot of chances under Li Yongle's scheduling, if it wasn't for Li Jie's waste, plus a lack of luck, the final result would definitely not be 1:0.

Despite this, Qiu Suhui was very satisfied with the competition. He reiterated to reporters that the goal of the Chinese team is the quarterfinals, which is equivalent to relieving Yang Pan, who shouted the declaration of "winning gold", and made a buffer between the top and Yang Pan.

Li Yongle also won the title of the best in the game, and he was obviously a little more enthusiastic than Yang Pan in the face of reporters. He admits that it feels great to score goals, and then explains how to play in the youth league at Inter Milan: "Just because I started playing in the second team doesn't mean I'll always play in the second team. I believe I can prove myself on my own. So it's not as bad as you think. ”

Yes, Li Yongle's proof operation has already begun. He knew that there must be Scouts from Inter Milan in the stands of the sparse Lala, and he wanted to impress them through his practical actions, so as to impress Inter Milan and Mancini.

※※※

Since then, the national Olympic team has won two games and two wins, and it has definitely qualified. In other words, the task goals set by the Football Association have been completed ahead of schedule. The rest is just like what Qiu Suhui said to Zhang Jun, which step counts as it goes. He also doesn't want to be too demanding on results, after all, the most important thing is to let this group of players seize the opportunity to grow.

But at this moment, the country is already frying! Entered the Olympic finals for the second time, and even reached the quarterfinals in one go and entered the knockout round! Although it is only Olympic football, for the Chinese men's football team with long-term impotence, it is tantamount to a dose of Viagra. Fans, the media, and FA officials all had happy smiles on their faces.

On the night when the National Olympic team defeated Mexico, the land of China didn't know how many firecrackers crackled, and how many men were drunk and blushing, and drunk and crying. When the sun rises, the earth will be red.

Yang Pan, Li Yongle, Qiu Suhui...... These names are worshipped by the fans.

At the same time, enthusiastic fans and media began to calculate for the national Olympic team: how should we play the third opponent, Mali, in order to avoid the strong Italy?

This question is also under consideration by Qiu Suhui.

Italy are very strong, with many players already playing in their respective clubs, and an experienced Serie A champion like Andrea Pirlo in the midfield. But their performance at the Olympics was not convincing. After being forced to draw 2:2 by Ghana in the first game, he narrowly defeated Yuben 3:2 in the second game. With four points from two games, while Ghana and Paraguay have four and three points respectively, all three teams are likely to qualify, with the exception of those who have lost both games.

The uncertainty of the situation in Group B gave Qiu Suhui a bit of a headache. How should the Chinese team play the third game against Mali to be more beneficial to the following games?

If he meets Italy in the quarterfinals, then Qiu Suhui knows that it is very difficult to defeat Italy with the current strength of the National Olympic team, even if he tries his best to win Italy, it will only be a miserable victory of "killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 yourself", and it is meaningless in the face of the next opponent.

However, to be able to eliminate Brazil led by Kaka in the South American region, Paraguay's strength should not be underestimated, not to mention Ghana, a traditional youth powerhouse in Africa. None of the opponents can be cleaned up.

Is it better for the Chinese team to win first or second in Group A?

In the end, the impatient Qiu Suhui simply threw all his opponents aside, and no matter what kind of opponent he would meet in the future, he would not give up the match against Mali. The starting lineup of the Chinese team will not make any adjustments in the game on the 18th, and Qiu Suhui wants to take all three points and qualify from Group A with a winning record.

What a brilliant stroke!

After the elimination of this book, the only ones who have the ability to fight for the honor and dignity of Asian football are China and the Iraqi football team, another dark horse that also entered the Olympic Games for the second time, but won both games and qualified ahead of schedule.

It's not wise to choose your opponents, it's smart people to play every game and learn valuable lessons from it. Now the Chinese team will go all out to prepare for Mali, as for who the opponent will be, let fate choose.
