super storm

Chapter 660
Do not embarrass the people of the country!

This sentence seems simple, but it is not easy to do it.

Yang Yang's understanding of this is that the strength can be inferior to others, and the game can be lost, but one must have a clear conscience and do his best.

In the second game of the group stage, against the European powerhouse Belgium, the Chinese team faced such a dilemma.

Belgium lost [-]-[-] to Brazil in the first game. The main defender Kompany and midfielder Fellaini both received red cards. Both of them will miss the game against the Chinese team. This is definitely a big plus for the Chinese team.

But even so, the overall strength of the Chinese team is still not as good as Belgium.

This is not what Yang Yang alone can make up for.

Thomas Vermaelen and Demour are both in the current Belgian Olympic team. Even if Fellaini and Kompany are suspended, there are still young Belgian players such as Van den Borre, Miralas, and Dembele. The overall strength is still quite good.

Chen Tao has been playing in Anderlecht, Belgium. He has a deep understanding of the strength of Belgian players. He told his teammates before the game that Belgium has vigorously developed youth training in recent years. The overall strength of young players is very good. He hopes that the whole team will pay attention.

The game was still held in Shenyang. After the opening, the Chinese team launched a continuous attack.

Belgium is very afraid of Yang Yang, and specially arranged for two players to freeze him. Vermaelen obviously has no intention of showing mercy to his iron buddies.

With the first shot in the opening game, Zhao Xuri from the center sent the ball to the left, Yang Yang made a cross with his left foot to the goal, Gao Lin, under the interference of Vermaelen, directly sent the ball flying, and missed an excellent scoring opportunity.

Then Belgium launched a continuous offensive, and Dembele broke the goal of the Chinese team with his first shot.

This player who played for Alkmaar is obviously better than his teammate Gao Lin in scoring efficiency.

After conceding the ball, the Chinese team launched a continuous side attack, and Belgium began to defend and counterattack.

No.18 minutes, the Chinese team launched an offensive from the right, Chen Tao crossed to the middle, Gao Lin headed the ball, Yang Yang quickly caught up, calmly volleyed with his right foot, broke the Belgian goal, and evened the score, one to one.

After that, the situation fell into a stalemate. No one could break the opponent's goal, but Belgium's counterattack made the Chinese team very uncomfortable. Feng Xiaoting and other players all received yellow cards for defensive fouls.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, the Chinese team reversed the score in just 3 minutes.

Zhou Haibin sent a precise through ball in the middle, tearing open the Belgian defense line. Yang Yang slanted behind the defense line at the fastest speed, facing his old buddy Vermaelen, after a beautiful emergency stop and cut in, he blocked the opponent with his body, hit the goal with his right foot, and sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal, [-] to [-]!

Yang Yang scored twice in two consecutive games and knocked Vermaelen down at the same time. Yang Yang is in pretty good form.

After being pulled up from the ground by him, Vermaelen complained to him.

But just when the Chinese team was about to retreat, defender Tan Wangsong made a very irrational flying kick when the opponent had already passed the ball during a fight, and was sent off by the referee with a red card.

This time the Chinese team will have one less player than the opponent.

Not long afterwards, Zheng Zhi made a tactical foul when returning to the defense when the opponent counterattacked, and was sent off by the referee again with a red card.

After several years of training in the Bundesliga, Zheng Zhi's overall strength is second only to Yang Yang in the team. There are many small moves in defense, but not too rough, but this time it is mainly because Zheng Zhi really has no way to stop the opponent except for fouls.

With two consecutive red cards, the Chinese team suffered a terrible blow. Belgium also quickly equalized the score and launched a frenzied attack in an attempt to reverse the situation.

The morale of the players on the field seemed to be low, but at the critical moment, Yang Yang chased back to the penalty area in front of the goal and made a tackle on the ground, which made everyone see his fighting spirit. Then he got up from the ground and yelled at his teammates, which ignited the blood of the fans in the stands, and at the same time revived the morale of the players in the team.

Nine to eleven, the Chinese team had no choice but to retreat.

In the end, under the indiscriminate bombing of Belgium, the Chinese team tenaciously defended the score of [-]-[-].

……

When Yang Yang was interviewed by the media after the game, he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with his teammates, thinking that it was a very irrational foul and should not have appeared on the court at all.

"We could have won, but in the last three and 10 minutes, we had to have two fewer players than our opponent. This is a nightmare for any team, and we must reflect on why this happened!"

Yang Yang's bombardment proved the annoyance in his heart.

He wasn't targeting a single teammate in particular, but was questioning the brutality of China's domestic league environment.

Similar to that kind of flying kick action, it is not uncommon in domestic leagues, but this should not appear on the court at all.

Yang Yang's accusation also quickly aroused questions from the domestic media and fans, and attracted the attention of all parties.

But in general, nine out of ten, China tenaciously defended the score of [-] to [-] and got a draw. The result is still satisfactory in the end.

…………

…………

Two red cards and multiple yellow cards. When China played against Brazil in the third game, four players were suspended for the embarrassing situation.

On the other hand, the Brazilian team won the first two games steadily, especially the second game, which beat New Zealand [-]-[-] and won the first place in the group ahead of schedule.

But even so, the Brazilian team still did their best in this game, because they wanted to be the first in the group.

Diego Alves, Rafinha, Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Anderson, Diego, Lucas Reva, Ramirez, Diego, Ronaldinho, Pato, Sobis, Jo...

Facing the star-studded Brazil, the Chinese team, which is short of major generals, has nothing to do. The absence of many players such as Feng Xiaoting and Zheng Zhi has caused irreparable losses to the Chinese team, which is directly reflected in the game.

But even though it was fully restrained, the Chinese team still showed a tenacious side, especially under the leadership of Yang Yang, the players on the court were extremely tenacious, even in the face of the super powerful Brazil, they did not back down.

The Brazilian team obviously did not try their best, but kept playing. On the one hand, it was because China was the host, and on the other hand, they had to prepare for the next knockout round.

Unexpectedly, in No. 14 minutes, Yang Yang used a beautiful left pass to pass three people, tore open the defense line of the Brazilian team, and got a direct free kick directly in front of the penalty area, which won the applause of the whole house.

And 1 minute later, Yang Yang used a wonderful direct free kick to break through the goal of the Brazilian team and took the lead.

But only 2 minutes later, the Brazilian team quickly seized the opportunity. After Ronaldinho and Diego passed consecutively and cooperated, Ronaldinho passed through, Diego quickly inserted to form a single goal, scored with a low shot, and equalized the score.

Subsequently, the Chinese team retreated in an all-round way, and the Brazilian team pressed heavily and quickly reversed the score.

Afterwards, the Chinese team has never been able to score a goal, and the overall strength of the Brazilian team is too obvious.

Until No.70 two minutes into the second half, the Brazilian team scored another victory and expanded the score again, [-] to [-].

This score was finally maintained until the end of the game.

The Chinese team worked hard throughout the game, but in the end their skills were not as good as theirs, and they lost helplessly.

Ronaldinho, Lucas Leiva and others also comforted Yang Yang after the game, and Yang Yang congratulated them with style, hoping that they could go further in the Olympics.

……

Although the Chinese team lost [-] to [-] to Brazil, it was unexpected that Belgium, with all their strength, only beat New Zealand [-] to [-] in the last game, failing to score more goals.

In this way, the Chinese team and Belgium both accumulated four points. However, since the Chinese team defeated Belgium [-]-[-] in the first game, the total number of goals in the group stage reached [-] goals, and [-] goals were conceded.

According to the rules of the Olympic group stage, the Chinese team and Belgium have the same points, but the Chinese team has a slight advantage in goal difference, so the Chinese team was able to qualify second in the group after Brazil.

It was an absolute surprise.

The media and fans are also very excited about this. The national TV station and authoritative party newspapers have evaluated this unexpected harvest as the result of the unremitting efforts and spirit of never giving up of the players headed by Yang Yang.

If there was no tenacity against Belgium and no hard pursuit against Brazil, where would there be the winning goal difference?

…………

…………

Although the Chinese team relied on the advantage of the goal difference to get the right to qualify for the group, but in the knockout round of the quarterfinals, they encountered the Italian team, the favorite to win the championship.

This team is also star-studded and has gathered many famous European stars, including Marchisio and Giovinco of Juventus, Montolivo of Fiorentina, and Villarreal striker Rossi.

Facing such a strong opponent, although the Chinese team did their best and showed great tenacity, even when they were behind by two goals, Yang Yang forced a pass and a shot to tie the score again, but in the end they couldn't stop Italy's strong offensive and lost the key knockout match [-]-[-].

Stopped in the top eight and missed the top four, but the Chinese team showed a gratifying side.

Yang Yang is the banner and leader of this team, and his role is becoming more and more obvious. There is no need to say more. The performance of the other overseas international players is also getting better and better. On the contrary, many domestic players are very disappointing.

Therefore, after being eliminated by Italy, domestic and foreign media and fans generally praised the performance of the Chinese team, thinking that although the team is not as skilled as others, they did their best in the end.

But in China, discussions on encouraging players to study abroad, especially young players, have become more heated.

Because judging from the performance of this Olympic Games, the performance of the overseas international players is obviously much better than that of the domestic players, and they fought side by side to win the World Youth Championship three years ago.

Although the team stopped at the top eight, Yang Yang's performance has been unanimously affirmed by domestic fans, and his reputation has risen to a higher level.
