891 Advance to the quarterfinals!
After the first game of the group stage of the national Olympic team, Qin Xiong was asked in an interview on the sidelines about the reason why he was defined as "scolding" his teammates in the first half.
Qin Xiong didn't hide his true thoughts.
"I know that because of the Olympics, my teammates are under a lot of pressure, and in our home stadium everyone wants to be more imposing and make the game better, but I don't agree with the idea that if we want to win glory for our country, we have to do our best to get the best results, football is not just about pursuing beautiful competitive sports, when we don't have the strength to play better, we should be pragmatic.
I'm reminding my teammates to keep that in mind, because our opponents will get stronger and stronger! ”
Qin Xiong returned to the locker room after answering the reporter's questions, and his teammates were in a good mood, but Qin Xiong still said in a deep voice in front of everyone: "If I made you feel that I did something too much in the game today, I can apologize, then let's discuss this issue calmly." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and they were naturally extremely happy to be able to win the game, but no one could forget the scene where Qin Xiong shouted at everyone with a cold face in the game.
It wasn't a reprimand, but he also had the power to do so, and the captain's armband was on his arm.
Zhou Haibin stepped forward and said: "Team Qin, don't say anything, your words are right, we should implement the tactics arranged by the coach and make us do something wrong." ”
Other teammates have expressed their opinions, it's not that Qin Xiong is domineering, his prestige and status determine that the players of the National Olympic team are actually relying on him in their hearts!
His words are not a question of who dares not to listen, but everyone is willing to listen!
That's why after Qin Xiong shouted, everyone immediately withdrew and changed back to a conservative posture.
No one hesitated or hesitated.
Qin Xiong's gaze swept over each of his teammates. Finally, he sighed, "I just want you to understand." We wore the jersey that represented the country. Even though it's an Olympic competition, we have to shoulder the honour, and the honour on the football pitch is earned by the results, but we can't win the world's accolades like the uncrowned king of the Netherlands, so we can only pursue the result. ”
Everyone nodded their heads to show their understanding of Qin Xiong's words.
Qin Xiong then stopped talking, quickly bathed and changed clothes, and then left the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium.
Outside the stadium, Sylvia sat in an SUV. After Qin Xiong got into the car, she asked with concern: "You just finished the competition, let's rest for one night first, and then go to Beijing tomorrow." ”
Qin Xiong shook his head and said that it was okay, and the SUV drove towards Shenyang Airport in the night.
Qin Xiong and Sylvia took the next direct flight to Beijing and stayed at the hotel before the early hours of the morning to rest.
The men's competition at the Olympics starts a day earlier than the Olympics, which is related to the long duration of the men's tournament and the fact that in addition to the U23 players who meet the participation criteria, there are also overage players with limited quotas.
Naturally, there are a lot of players who play for top European clubs, in order to minimize the impact of the Olympics on the new season of European clubs. The Olympic men's football team took the lead.
On the evening of August 8.
The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games was held.
Qin Xiong was at the forefront of the parade as the flag bearer of the Chinese athletes' delegation at the opening ceremony.
Holding the flagpole in a relaxed state and walking at the front of the team, Qin Xiong did not have any discomfort with this kind of scene. As the most internationally renowned athlete in Chinese sports, he is absolutely qualified to lead the delegation.
Many sponsors behind Qin Xiong are happy to see this scene, and Qin Xiong's popularity and influence can be further increased by the east wind of the Olympic Games, which will continue to strengthen Qin Xiong's ability to attract gold.
After the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, Qin Xiong had to return to Shenyang overnight.
The second group stage of the Olympic men's football team was held at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium.
The Chinese Olympic team faced the Belgian Olympic team.
There are only two players in the Belgium squad who are slightly known and slightly threatened, Mirallas and Dembele.
With the exception of Vermaelen at the back and Vertonghen at the back, none of the other players have been able to make a name for themselves in European football in the new generation to attract special attention.
After the confidence of the Chinese Olympic team after the last victory, coupled with Qin Xiong's post-match dressing room speech, the tactical execution rate of the entire team has skyrocketed.
Belgium lost their first game against Brazil, and the second game was crucial.
They need a win to qualify for the last game.
Otherwise, it is expected that Brazil will be able to easily win against New Zealand.
Even if Belgium can draw with China in this game, will China and Brazil shake hands and advance together in the last game?
After all, this is China's home turf.
The Belgians had to think about this.
Because of this, the Belgian Olympic team launched a frantic offensive from the first minute of the game.
The Chinese team continued to rely on Qin Xiong and Han Peng, plus midfielders to take turns and plug in to create a counter-attacking threat.
The Belgian Olympic team adopted the tactics of focusing on Qin Xiong's defense and killing.
This allowed the Chinese Olympic team to frequently get set-pieces in counterattacks.
In the 65th minute of the game, Qin Xiong shook two Belgian players in a row in a counterattack, and then was put to the ground by Vertonghen!
Qin Xiong's socks on his legs were already stained with blood.
When he stood up, the referee showed Vertonghen a second yellow card, and Vertonghen was sent off after two yellows and one red!
Vertonghen glanced at Qin Xiong, and there was a lot of helplessness in his heart, he and Vermaelen were both Qin Xiong's juniors in Ajax.
This battle was repeatedly attacked by Qin Xiong, although Qin Xiong did not break through the city gate, but now he has to be punished.
After Vertonghen went off the field, the Chinese team still played a resolute defensive counterattack.
In the 72nd minute of the game, the Belgian Olympic team, which lacked major generals on the back line, gave Qin Xiong a chance!
Qin Xiong sent a one-handed through ball to Han Peng after attracting three defenders.
Han Peng lived up to expectations and challenged goalkeeper Bailly to push the goal in the single-knife meeting!
There were deafening cheers from the stands!
The Belgian Olympic team can only press crazy when they are behind the score, otherwise they will go home if they lose both games.
As a result, in the 83rd minute of the game, Qin Xiong successfully responded to Zhou Haibin's wonderful pass against offside, and made another city in the counterattack!
The Belgian team is still attacking wildly, although they scored a goal for the Chinese Olympic team in injury time, but they still can't save the defeat.
After the game, Qin Xiong and Vermaelen exchanged jerseys, and after the two hugged, they separated, and Qin Xiong led his teammates on the sidelines to thank the fans in the stands.
The Chinese Olympic team won both games and advanced to the quarterfinals in advance! (To be continued.) )
