Chapter 645: The Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games
The Chinese Olympic team's victory over the New Zealand Olympic team in the first group stage was not unexpected, after all, the strength of the two teams is not at the same level, and the odds offered by the three major European bookmakers before the game are also the Chinese Olympic team to let one and a half goals, so winning 3:0 is a normal consumption.
You must know that the fans of the entire Shenyang Olympic Sports Center have been shouting and cheering for the Chinese Olympic team from the first moment of entry, which is to use their lives to cheer in a fashionable phrase.
The other seven matches that ended the day also had results, with the Australian Olympic team and Serbia playing 1:1 against the Chinese Olympic team in July, Japan losing 0:1 to the United States, Brazil 1:0 Belgium, Honduras 0:3 Italy, Ivory Coast 1:2 Argentina, Netherlands 0:0 Nigeria, South Korea 1:1 Cameroon.
The first round of the group stage defeated New Zealand, as the captain of the team Iroh is very happy, the last two warm-up games before the Olympics did not play well, so that he also carried a certain amount of pressure, but this clean 3:0, swept away all the pressure, and faced the interview with reporters is also very cooperative.
After the game, in addition to scoring a goal and assisting once Ailo became the focus of the whole game, the 20-year-old Liao Qianmo, who came on as a substitute in the second half, also became one of the focuses of reporters' interviews.
At the same time, Cui Lin, deputy head and secretary general of the Chinese sports delegation, held a press conference at the Bird's Nest News Center, announcing that Iro, who won the title of World Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years in 2006 and 2007, became the flag bearer of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Suddenly, those reporters who hoped that Yao Ming and Liu Xiang would be elected as the flag-bearers of the opening ceremony were a little helpless.
Although this result has long been known, Cui Lin was still a little disappointed when he said it, after all, Yao Ming and Liu Xiang's international influence is not much worse than Ailuo, but they can't be compared in personal honor.
However, soon, it was also relieved that it was not unacceptable for Ailo to be elected, after all, football is currently recognized as the number one sport in the world, and as the first person recognized in world football, Iroh as the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation can also represent China's face, and it also represents that China has a determination to grow into the world's first.
When Iroh learns that he will be the flag bearer for the opening ceremony, his excitement is hard to describe in words.
You must know that this is the first time in the history of the Olympic Games held in China, and the significance is insignificant, and it is a supreme honor to be able to serve as the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation in the Olympic Games held in China, and it belongs to the smoke of the ancestral tomb to be able to happen.
That's it...... appeared in their own hands.
Thinking of this, Iroh also felt glad for himself, fortunately he had prepared a few more tickets for the opening ceremony at the National Stadium tomorrow night, otherwise his parents, girlfriend and those friends would not be able to see his heroic appearance.
I couldn't see this scene in my previous life, so ...... In this life, we must let them all be proud of themselves!

The next day, August 8, 2008, the world's attention was on one place: Beijing, the capital of China.
The 29th Olympic Games will officially kick off here.
As usual, Iroh woke up at 6 a.m., jogged for half an hour in the Olympic Village, and then went back to his apartment to do 500 push-ups and 3,000 sit-ups.
When he lay on the ground exhausted and gasped for breath, the heart that had always been restless finally stopped.
At the request of Cui Lin, secretary general of the national Olympic team, Ailuo had a simple dinner with a few members of the national Olympic team, and then went to the National Stadium to participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games held there in the evening.
For many athletes, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics is full of question marks and speculation, but for Iroh, it is still fresh in his memory, he remembers his 'previous life' but he began to watch this grand opening ceremony from CCTV when he entered the National Stadium, basically to the point of familiarity, and many eye-catching performances are still fresh in his memory.
For example: a performance that embodies China's four great inventions, 29 footprint fireworks, and a trapeze artist lighting the cauldron......
So for many people, the opening ceremony, which was full of highlights, seemed a bit boring to Iro.
But these expressions of Iroh are a different story in the eyes of other Chinese athletes.
Bao Chunlai, a famous badminton player from Changsha, Hunan Province, said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, he is the first person in world football, and his psychological quality is good!" ”
In the eyes of Wang Xiaolei and Gao Lin, Ailuo is a character with a big heart, and this is the case during the competition, and the same is true for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.
……
With the host's voice, "There are friends from afar, and I am very happy!" The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games officially kicked off.
At 19:50, amid the cheerful music, Hu Jintao, Jiang Zeming, Jacques Rogge, Samaranch and other leaders of various countries, as well as relevant organization personnel of the Olympic Committee, walked to the rostrum and waved to the audience.
Immediately after, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
It didn't take long for a dazzling halo to illuminate the ancient sundial.
In the center of the stadium, accompanied by a powerful and powerful blow, the 2008 ancient Chinese percussion instruments emitted a moving sound, and the white lights flashed in turn, combining the countdown numbers.
In the thunderous sound, the audience shouted loudly along with the change of numbers: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...... In the cheers, ushered in the moment of the official start of the opening ceremony!
Eight o'clock in the evening
The 2,008 performers sang and chanted "It's a pleasure to have friends from afar" to welcome the Olympians and guests from all over the world.
Although Iroh was very familiar with the opening ceremony in front of him, when it came to the moment of 'national flag entry', he was still instinctively excited, and the corners of his eyes were moist, especially the sentence "Raise the national flag of the People's Republic of China and sing the national anthem of the People's Republic of China!" ”
Like the athletes next to him, he sang the national anthem in this warm atmosphere.
What followed was a noisy theatrical performance, but Iroh had to stand at the front of the queue because ...... He is the standard-bearer of the entire national delegation, and he must be strict with himself and set a good example.
It wasn't until 21:10:19 that the entrance ceremony for athletes from all over the world began.
The first to enter was the Greek team, followed by Guinea......
The Chinese delegation, as the host, was the last to play, that is, until 23:09, it was Ailuo's turn to play.
Walking behind Australia and the Republic of Zambia, walking on the white carpet.
Athletes of the Chinese delegation wearing red suits and white trousers and officials wearing white shirts and black suits entered the stadium through the entrance gate.
At the same time, the 57-year-old CCTV announcer Sun Zhengping excitedly explained at the scene: "Now coming to us is the Chinese delegation, holding the national flag to enter the country's famous football player Ailuo, young and promising, at the age of 21, he has won the best player in La Liga, the world footballer, the European Golden Ball Award and other honors...... Including 28 foreign coaches, they came from 8 countries including Germany, involving 18 major sports such as football, basketball, baseball, etc., such as the head coach of the national Olympic team Dujkovic, and the head basketball coach Younas......"
Listening to the shouts from the stands and the national teams, Iroh held the five-star red flag in his left hand and waved his arms around with his right hand to express the surging feeling in his heart.
"Wow, that's ...... Godfather, so handsome!! "After hearing the radio 'China', Li Ai, who was still lying in Li Shiyin's arms and snoring and sleeping, got up in a fierce spirit, pointed to Ailuo who was waving the national flag and shouted angrily.
Li Ai's sudden 'attack' also caused a burst of laughter from Li Shiyin, Taylor Swift, and Iello's family, friends, and other agent teams.

At 23:36, another long-awaited moment came.
President Hu Jintao announced in a loud voice: "The 29th Olympiad in Beijing is open!! ”
Suddenly, the audience burst into thunderous applause, which was inexhaustible for a long time.
At this point, it means that the opening ceremony of this Olympic Games has reached the final stage.
Begin...... Flame lighting ceremony.
For these, Iroh is not very interested, his concentration is the final ignition ceremony, that is called a classic!
At 23:54, the Olympic flame taken from the Olympic Games arrived at the National Stadium, and the exciting Olympic flame lighting ceremony was about to begin.
At 0:04 the next day, Li Ling, who was running in the air, came to the torch tower and lit the fuse, and the huge torch suddenly ignited a thin flame, and the blazing Olympic flame reflected the sky over the stadium with brilliance.
At the same time, more than 40,000 fireworks were set off in various parts of Beijing, from the brilliant Olympic Village, to the antique Yongdingmen, and then from the majestic Juyongguan Great Wall to the flower-filled Tiananmen Square.
This scene is so dazzling that even Iroh, who watched it for the second time, was excited.
That's what it is...... Strong after the prosperity of the country!
“…… In the next 16 days, we will brighten your Olympic journey in Beijing with the sincere smiles of 1.3 billion Chinese. ”
"In the next 16 days, we will use the applause of 1.3 billion Chinese to color your hard journey in 2008."
"Congratulations to the athletes from all over the world for their tenacious struggle and continued to write the world's Olympic charm in the land of hope in Beijing."
"CCTV CCTV, the live broadcast of the 29th Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 will be broadcast here for you, goodbye ......"
"Goodbye ......"
With the closing words of Sun Zhengping and Dong Qing, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics was officially announced.
