The guest Tao Wei also sighed, "Yes, a football youth training base has cultivated most of the main players of the Chinese team, which is the glory of Coach Xu, but it is the sorrow of Chinese football, but I still hope that there will be more football people like Coach Xu to sink down and do some facts for Chinese football, if China has ten or a hundred Coach Xu, are you afraid that Chinese football will not be able to prosper for a long time?" ”
After the two commentators sighed for a while, the topic turned back to the game, after scoring a goal, the young martial arts king increased his confidence, and once again chose a personal breakthrough after receiving a pass from his teammates, although the Brazilian team has attracted a certain amount of attention to him, but he still failed to prevent it, and he burst into the penalty area with the ball, but unfortunately the little guy was a little too excited, and he couldn't press it down when he shot and hit the plane, otherwise the Chinese team could kill the suspense of the game in advance
But even so, this series of performances of the martial arts king still received bursts of applause from the stands, and the two commentators of CCTV were also full of praise for his appearance, Duan Xuan unabashedly expressed his love for him, "It is said that this little guy is late in development, and he has a baby face, he is all in high school, and he still looks like a primary school student, and he looks really cute, haha." But short stature also has the advantage of short stature, you see he just dribbled the ball, he is as flexible as a loach, even the defenders of the Brazilian team can't guard against him"
"It's not just the flexibility that comes with being short." After all, Tao Wei was an excellent player in China, and he saw it much more thoroughly than his partner, "The rhythm of the ball is very special, and the Brazilian players don't know him well, so it is very difficult to defend"
As there is not much time left for the game. Tao Wei also failed to see more characteristics of Wuqiu Wang, but in the limited time on the field, Wuqiu Wang still completed the coach's instructions very well, and successfully suppressed the Brazilian team's counterattack with his own speed and personal breakthrough, helping the Chinese Olympic team win the game without danger. China secured top spot in the group and will face Cameroon, the runners-up in Group D.
After the game, the CCTV reporter wanted to interview the martial arts king who had made miraculous achievements. But he was stopped by Gao Jun on the grounds that the child was still young and didn't want his growth to be too disturbed by the media too early. So the reporter had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and interviewed Gao Jun, who was once again named the best player in this game.
Speaking of which, Gao Jun's overall performance today is not particularly good, and he was able to be rated the best, and a large part of it is because the super barb that is likely to be voted the best goal of the Beijing Olympics. Gao Jun is also very clear about this, and in the face of reporters' questions, he smiled and said that even if he was able to score into such a world wave, there was a lot of luck, and if he was allowed to do it again under the same circumstances. Gao Jun is also not sure that he will be able to score again.
But even so, Gao Jun is still quite satisfied with his performance in this game, although the number is not particularly conspicuous, but he played in the forward position in this game, and being able to sort out the offensive organization of the front court is more important than the number of individual goals he scores
In fact, strictly speaking, in the face of a strong team like the Brazilian Olympic team, it is actually quite remarkable that there can still be 1 pass and 1 shot when the whole field is closely guarded. can only blame Gao Jun's goal rate all the time is too exaggerated, and the media and fans have unconsciously raised their expectations for him. I don't know if this counts as "self-inflicted"
"By the way, I would like to congratulate you on being named this year's German Footballer of the Year, which is the first time that a Chinese player or even an Asian player has won such an honor in a country in the five major leagues, how do you feel about this? Excited or not? The CCTV reporter stretched out the microphone again and asked.
Gao Jun shrugged his shoulders and smiled lightly. "I'm happy for sure, but I'm not excited, because I already knew that this award would be mine, and after so many days, I can't be excited anymore."
The CCTV reporter's face froze. But he continued to ask, "Is it a pity that you had to miss the medal ceremony of the German Footballer of the Year because of your participation in the Olympics?" ”
"It's a little bit of a pity, but fighting for the country is much more important than receiving the medal, especially in a high-profile competition like the Beijing Olympics, so I don't regret it at all." Gao Jun's patterned answer made the reporter lose interest in continuing to ask questions, but it was he who did it with his heart. The reason is very simple, since Gao Jun has decided to completely turn his face with the Football Association after the Olympics, he must make all kinds of preparations, and it is obviously crucial to win the favor and support of higher leaders. After all, with China's national conditions, if the senior leaders do not speak, no matter how much public opinion scolds the Football Association, they will not be able to help them
African players develop early and are in excellent physical condition, so they can often perform well in the Olympic Games, and Cameroon is clearly very strong in the group stage. But it didn't take long for the quarter-finals to begin for Gao Jun to prove how wise China's choice of opponent was
"Nice fit! Gao Jun's accurate straight plug passed the ball to the penalty area, and after taking a step, the ball was passed back to Gao Jun, who had already entered the penalty area at this time, and at this time, there was no Cameroon defender by his side, Gao Jun naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity, he calmly pushed the far corner to score in the big penalty area! The Chinese team had a wonderful start today, it only took 10 minutes to take the lead, congratulations to the boys of the Chinese Olympic team, I hope they will continue to work hard to win this opponent! CCTV's commentator Liu Jianhong shouted excitedly.
Gong Lei, the "Tahitian King of the Ball" who commented with him in this game, shook his head at the poor defense of the Cameroon team, "The problems of the African team's defense are very obvious, only looking at the ball and not looking at people, and lacking the awareness of intercepting and blocking the passing line, and often losing points when encountering tactical flexible opponents." It's no wonder that Asian teams with some gaps in strength have always been afraid of them, and Gao Jun's characteristics of finding defensive holes and grasping scoring opportunities are the nemesis of African teams."
Gong Lei's words were soon verified again, in the 12th minute, Yang Hao broke the ball in the middle of the field and passed directly behind the Cameroon team's back line, Gao Jun was smart and timely to step forward and successfully form a single knife, the goalkeeper of the Cameroon team was forced to abandon the goal, but saw that Gao Jun did not hesitate to knock the ball to the unmarked young player Xie Wenjun, who calmly pushed the ball into the empty goal, helping the Chinese team to take a two-goal lead
It took less than 13 minutes for the Chinese team to have a two-goal lead, and even the most optimistic Chinese fans did not dare to make such a prediction before the game, and it is not difficult to imagine how ecstatic the tens of thousands of Chinese fans in the stands were at this time. However, the Cameroon team that then poured out of the nest quickly made everyone feel their true strength, but although the impatient Africans were attacking, they could not always seize the opportunity, but the situation was passive The Chinese team once again relied on a quick counterattack, and the attacking core Gao Jun received Xie Wenjun's cross from the right side and then went to the next city, and the game time did not go to the 30th minute, and the suspense of the game was almost completely gone
In order to avoid injuries to some players, the Chinese team took the initiative to slow down the pace of the game, but still used a direct free kick opportunity to expand the score again by Hao Junmin when it was about to enter injury time, and the foul that caused the free kick opportunity had caused a Cameroon player to be sent off with a red card before it was sent off, and the last bit of suspense of the game was completely lost
In the second half, the Chinese team successively replaced Xie Wenjun and Gao Lin and other three main players, and the pace of the game was further slowed down to save as much body as possible, but the confidence of the Cameroon team has completely collapsed, and it conceded two goals in the second half, and finally lost with a score of 0:6, setting the largest point difference in the quarterfinals of the Beijing Olympics
Due to the advantage of pink muscles, Gao Jun not only has excellent stamina, but also has extremely fast physical speed, plus his way of playing is not easy to be violated, and the risk of injury is very small, so Crouchen did not waste substitutions on him. This also made Gao Jun's first hat-trick at the Beijing Olympics, and his personal goal total increased to seven, leading the scorer list and almost locking up the Golden Boot award in this Olympic football competition ahead of schedule. However, Gao Jun didn't care much about this, and his goal was always only one, that is, to win the men's football competition at the Beijing Olympics
After a comfortable victory over Cameroon, the Chinese Olympic team were one step closer to that goal, but even after a wild victory, there was not much pride in the group, because in the next semi-finals, they will face the Argentine Olympic team, which is considered to be the strongest team in the Olympic Games.
Most of the main players in this Argentine team are no strangers, when they were in the national youth team, the boys of the Chinese team once beat them at the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands to win the final championship, but that game was not easy to win, and in the three years after the World Youth Championships, the Argentine players who played more football in the high-level league obviously grew faster, not to mention that they have an absolute advantage in overage players. Therefore, even if the Chinese team has the advantage of playing at home in this game, it will not be easy to play (to be continued......
