Chapter 357 The five-star red flag is flying in London

In this way, the Chinese Olympic team won three games and three victories in the group stage, and faced the British team in the quarter-finals. All the media paid attention to the performance of the Olympic team
The Chinese team also launched a confrontation without showing any weakness, using their own speed and technology to deal with the British team. Even with top players like Ryan Giggs and Ramsey, the Chinese Olympic team used tactics to firmly control the rhythm and fight the British team in the midfield!
And then,
"Zhang Hang's breakthrough! Good job!" Liu Hong continued to roar with a drawn-out voice.Then he made another witty comment: "He and Wu Yulun played a wonderful wall-slamming match! This is two over one... No,!"

Zhang Hang, who rushed past Giggs, had already dribbled the ball into the penalty area when Liu Hong roared. At this time, only the British team's goal was in front of him, and no one could stop him, not even the British goalkeeper Butland.

Zhang Hang swung his left foot while running at high speed, kept the ball, did not slow down, and shot directly!

He hit the instep of his left foot hard!

A muffled bang echoed in Butland's ears.

The soccer ball was like a missile with its first, second and third stage booster rockets turned on, it accelerated rapidly, and then roared towards the top of his head!

Butland only had time to reflexively swing his arms upwards, but he didn't touch anything.

Then he heard a huge cheer from the stands, not the voice of the British fans, because he was familiar with the cheers of the British fans.

That's huge—

"pretty--!!"

Everyone saw the football flying over Butland's head, and his waving arms seemed to be in slow motion in front of the speed of the football.

Then the football went straight up, scraped the lower edge of the goal crossbar, flew into the goal, and then hit the upper net before stopping.

Twelve minutes into the game, the Chinese team attacked for the first time, shot for the first time, and scored!
Butland's body fell back, his head thrown back, and he saw the football fall from the air and land on the turf just inside the goal line.

The goal was scored, no doubt, his goal was breached...

The last thing they expected... still happened!

When Giggs was about to throw a throw-in, Pierce turned around and walked back to the coach's bench, but before he got there, he was startled by the exclamation of the coaches and turned around. He saw Zhang Hang jumping in the air and intercepting the football, and saw Zhang Hang dribbled the ball in the backcourt for half a circle, then rushed to the frontcourt, and Wu Yulun hit a... wall cooperation?Finally put the football in...

The whole process was so tight that he forgot to turn around, just twisted his body to watch the whole process of losing the ball, and his whole body twisted like Tianjin Mahua.

After seeing Zhang Hang's goal, he was disappointed and annoyed, and wanted to kick something to vent his anger, but he forgot that his whole body was twisted from top to bottom...

So he lost his balance and fell to the ground!
But at this time, no one cared about him anymore, and everyone stared at the goal of the British team dumbfounded.

The same is true of the coaching staff of the British team.

Just 1 minute ago, the British team still had the advantage, allowing the Chinese team to control the ball with great difficulty, but they couldn't even pass the halfway line.

But now the Chinese team is fucking ahead!

They couldn't accept this ups and downs at all.

This is real?

When the football flew into the goal of the British team, Zhang Shunfa's ears were filled with the shouts and cheers of the Chinese fans.

However, he didn't hug anyone, just opened his legs again, and continued to run forward with the national flag high.

While running, he raised his head and shouted loudly: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Only such a simple sound can express his feelings...

After the goal, Zhang Hang did not run to celebrate the goal with Wu Yulun who passed the ball to him. This may be extremely rare for him not to go to his teammates who assisted him after scoring a goal. In the past, he would go to the teammates who assisted him immediately to celebrate goals.

He didn't go to Wu Yulun, but ran to a stand. There was not only one stand occupied by Chinese fans, but he just ran to that one.

Or to be precise, he ran towards the running five-star red flag.

After he scored, he set his sights on it.Sure enough, he saw the five-star red flag, and it was flying again.

He rushed to the bottom of the stands, pointed at Zhang Shunfa who was running holding the national flag high.

Why did they come to the Olympic team?What is he fighting for?

Isn't it because of such fans?
Everyone's eyes followed Zhang Hang's hand, including other Chinese fans in the stands and the camera lens of the live broadcast.

Zhang Shunfa's son jumped up in the stands, raised his arms and shouted excitedly: "That's my dad! That's my dad!!"

The five-star red flag was held high in the hands of Zhang Shunfa, fluttering in the wind as he ran, fluttering in everyone's eyes, and fluttering in the footage of the TV broadcast.

Watching this scene, a line of lyrics emerged in many people's minds.

Someone then sang out loud.

They sang in front of Zhang Hang and other Chinese players who came to celebrate with them.

"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind—raise!!"

As soon as the first sentence was sung, more people joined in, and all the Chinese fans in the audience came to a chorus.

"... how loud the song of victory is!! Singing to our dear motherland! From now on we will be prosperous and strong!!"

This song is so familiar to the Chinese people that it is called the "Second National Anthem", which shows the status of this song in the hearts of China and the Chinese people.Almost no one can sing...

Tens of thousands of Chinese fans sang the song "Singing the Motherland" in front of the Chinese players.

The singing was loud and powerful.

The players of the Chinese team were stunned. They didn't expect the fans to celebrate the goal in such a way.

But soon someone in the team couldn't help singing along with the fans.

"...Singing about our dear motherland, from now on we will be prosperous and strong—"

"Across the mountains! Across the plains! Across the rushing Yellow River and Yangtze River!"

Perhaps the spontaneous chorus of these fans did not grasp the tune very accurately, and there were some out-of-tune phenomena, but at this time, no one cared about those details at all.

Just tens of thousands of people singing the same song together, the momentum is enough to shock many people speechless!

Chinese fans put their long-term accumulation of anger, inferiority, envy... and other complex emotions towards British football into this song, and vented them in this way.

Amidst the singing, Zhang Shunfa still held the flag high and ran back and forth, not letting the flag hang down, just like a proud soldier would never lower his head!
"The vast and beautiful land - the land! It is our dear hometown!!"

"The heroic people - stand up!! We are united, fraternal and strong as steel!!"

Liu Hong, who was sitting in the commentary booth, was still talking about how awesome and important the ball was before hearing the singing...but when the singing sounded, he fell silent.

So the fans in front of the TV could clearly hear the chorus of tens of thousands of Chinese fans without any interference, and then many Chinese fans in front of the TV also sang along.

Until the players of the Chinese team finished celebrating and returned to their own half, the singing was still wafting over the Khalifa Stadium.

After the singing gradually died down, Liu Hong's voice resounded on the TV.

"Singing the motherland, what a song we are familiar with. I have heard it countless times, but when I heard this song in the commentary booth of the Wembley Stadium in a foreign country, I got goosebumps all over my body. I don't know, friends in front of the TV, do you feel the same way?"

Many fans who watched the live broadcast on the Internet in front of the computer immediately swiped their screens and posted on Weibo: "Yes, yes, yes! I also have goosebumps!" "Singing the motherland is so beautiful, I cried!" "When this song played, I cried! Damn, I was watching the game in an Internet cafe!" "Who is that fan running with the national flag? He is so handsome!"

"I don't need to say more about how important Zhang Hang's ball is. I don't need to talk nonsense about its significance. I don't think any language can explain the meaning of this ball better than the scene that just happened. Thank you Zhang Hang, thank you guys from the Chinese team, thank you to the fans of the Chinese team at the scene, thank you to the fan who ran with the national flag high, thank you...all those who still love and support Chinese football, thank you!"

Liu Hong is not a sensational commentator, but his words made the eyes of many fans in front of the TV warm.

How much we have suffered in Chinese football, how crazy we are now.

All the hard work comes...

The celebration of the Chinese fans really shocked many people, including the commentators of British BBC, Sky Sports and other TV stations.

"This..." When the Chinese fans were singing "Ode to the Motherland", the British commentator's commentary was interrupted directly, and he continued after a while. "The Chinese fans were very excited. They expressed their feelings with a collective chorus. I have never seen Chinese fans so excited..."

The guest commentator next to him said: "The situation is not good for the British team now... The morale of the Chinese team is completely up. With the support of the Chinese fans, it is like giving them a halo... The British team must withstand the next wave of attacks by the Chinese team**..."

TV commentators from other countries were also shocked by the chorus of Chinese fans, and exclaimed that Chinese fans are so terrible!

At the same time, their views are the same as those of the commentators on British TV. They believe that the game has undergone a fundamental turning point and the British team is very dangerous.

They can't understand the lyrics, but they can hear the momentum.

With fans with such momentum, can the momentum of the team they support be weakened?

If the Chinese team goes crazy...the most terrifying thing is if the Chinese go crazy...the consequences will be disastrous!
For a while, the British fans could no longer care about the disappointment and regret of losing the ball. Now they are starting to feel scared...

What if the ball is lost in a short time?
Pierce was the first to react. He got up from the ground and rushed to the sidelines. While the Chinese players and fans were still singing and celebrating, he pulled an interpreter and gave an emergency face-to-face instruction to the team captain Giggs.

"Pass the football back, control the ball more in the backcourt, make more inversions, don't worry, let them pass this exciting period..."

So when the game restarted, Britain, which had just lost the ball, did not rush to attack to equalize the score, but passed the football back.

According to Pierce's instructions, this is to use the slowness of the British team to restrain the fastness of the Chinese team, kill the fighting spirit of the Chinese team, and let their dopamine secretion return to normal levels.

Once the Chinese team finds that they can't grab the ball for a long time, they will naturally calm down and stop attacking the British team.At that time, rationality will make them start to pay attention to defense, fearing that they will be counterattacked by the British team or something.

This adjustment is of course based on Pierce's confidence in the strength of the British players.

But he overlooked one point.

Many players of the Chinese Olympic team are from Portugal, and even a few players in England are also from Arsenal. Their skills are much better than those of England's rough buddies!

In front of the British players who are very confident in their foot skills, Zhang Hang's foot skills completely exploded them... At this time, Cheng Tong gave Zhang Hang a straight kick

However, the British team's defense is very tenacious. They are very clear that the most dangerous time has come. If Zhang Hang scores another goal, although the game has only started for 4 minutes, the suspense of the game may be gone.

Therefore, the Chinese team must not be allowed to score again.

Bertrand and Caulker turned back again. After Zhang Hang passed Dawson with his oxtail, he was about to collide with them head-on.

But Zhang Hang had no intention of stopping or passing the ball back.

He flicked the football to the left with his right foot, then stretched forward with his left foot and knocked the football lightly.

At the same time, his body was like a cheetah, as soon as he got short, he slipped between the two of them!
"Fried meatballs!" This time it was the commentator of the British TV station who exclaimed.

They didn't expect that after Zhang Hang used the difficult surmounting action of the oxtail just now, he would be almost unaffected by inertia, and immediately perform the surmounting of "fried meatballs", and the technique is very precise, not muddled at all.

It was so easy to break through the defense of Dawson and Richards.

Who else can stand in front of him now?

there is none left!
Zhang Hang has rushed behind the entire British defense line!
The next thing became very simple for Zhang Hang. After catching up with the football, he even slowed down, not worried about being caught up by the British players who frantically returned to defense.

Facing the attacking British goalkeeper Butland, Zhang Hang took a shot.

Seeing his shot, Butland quickly fell to the ground and rushed towards the direction he judged.

But the football didn't fly in the direction he judged, but... directly flew over his body.

Spoon lob!

Butland was lying on the ground, turning his head to look at the football flying in the air with some despair. Although the football was still flying in the air, Butland knew very well that there could be no accidents.

"Zhang——Hang——!!!" In Liu Hong's drawn-out roar, the football drew a parabola in the air, and then fell into the... empty goal behind Butland!
"The goal is scored! The goal is scored! The goal is scored! It is unbelievable! Less than 1 minute after we just scored, we took a two-goal lead! The British team conceded the goal just after kick-off!"

Liu Hong jumped up directly from the commentary seat, he was so excited.

Facing such a goal, it is really difficult for him to restrain his emotions.

He thought it was perfect for the Chinese team to lead by one goal. Unexpectedly, Zhang Hang scored another goal when the British team kicked off... two goals ahead. Doesn't this mean that the Chinese team has the upper hand in the process of competing with the British team for the Asian Cup?

In a game like the quarter-finals, if one side takes a two-goal lead, it's hard to be overturned...

So he can assert in advance that Zhang Hang's ball made the Chinese team almost embrace the semi-finals!

Chinese football, since participating in the Olympic Games, has never been so close to this championship as it is now!

Not only Liu Hong was excited, but also countless Chinese fans in the stands, in front of the TV, and in front of the computer.

Some people couldn't even believe it when they saw the football flying into the goal, thinking it was incredible, how could we score two goals in such a short period of time?
Is this the fucking performance of the Chinese team?

But the fact is that the latest scores are shown on the scoreboards both on site and on TV.

The Chinese team leads the UK 2:0!

The Chinese fans in the stands rang out singing again, but this time it was no longer "Ode to the Motherland". The Chinese fans changed to another song, but it was still a popular song.

"...Five-Star Red Flag!! You are my pride! Five-Star Red Flag! I am proud of you!! Cheers for you! I bless you! Your name is more important than my life——!"

"The red flag flutters! The red flag flutters—!"

During the singing, Zhang Shunfa's footsteps never stopped.

The old heart became extremely young at this moment, so that he didn't feel the slightest fatigue.

As an old Chinese fan, he felt extremely happy to be able to witness this moment on the spot, even if it made him exhausted to death in this stand, he would be willing!
Zhang Hang was surrounded by teammates from the Chinese team, and everyone was slapping him on the back vigorously to vent their emotions.

Zhang Hang didn't feel any pain at all.

He was also very excited, he was going up on purpose, but he didn't expect that he could actually score goals...

It's stable now.The Chinese team is completely stable.

But Feng Shuo and Li Yuxin in the stands are already crazy. Li Yuxin has to control himself. After all, he is a British in this life, but he will not forget that he is a descendant of Yanhuang, a son of China, and Feng Shuo is already crazy. China will win!
