Champion’s Heart

When the football fell into the goal of the Mexican Olympic team in a parabola, in the opinion of commentator He Ping, it was simply the most beautiful arc in the world, like a rainbow crossing the horizon.

The Chinese team scored first! We are ahead!

His excited voice was transmitted to thousands of households in China via satellite communications. This game kicks off at 9:30 pm Beijing time, which is prime time for watching TV, so there are a lot of fans watching this game. There are even many spectators who are not fans. Because this is the Olympic Games, the competitions in each event will attract many fans who are not involved in the event to watch. These competitions are all related to the national honor.

Although the Olympic Games are said to be faster, faster and stronger, and for the spirit of sportsmanship, in fact, the Olympic Games are a battlefield without smoke. Countries use the Olympics to compete, and the winning country will naturally be happy, while the losing country will feel uncomfortable no matter how much they say participation is the most important.

The combination of sports and politics in the Olympic Games is like a first-marriage couple, inseparable.

Chinese football has always been a representative of weakness and incompetence, which makes many Chinese feel like they can't hold their heads high when it comes to football.

The last Olympic Games were held in Beijing. The Chinese Olympic team did not need to pass the qualifiers and could directly enter the main competition. However, the performance of the Olympic team at the Olympics made many Chinese fans feel that it would be better to stipulate that the host country must also participate in the qualifiers before entering the main draw, because in that case, the Olympic team does not have to go to the Olympics to embarrass itself.

If this Olympic team had not been joined by the Five Little Dragons, it would certainly not have been possible to appear in London. Before the first game of the Olympic team, Chinese fans had mixed feelings about the team. On the one hand, they had high hopes for the Five Tigers, hoping that the five of them could lead the team to perform well in the Olympics. , they expect. On the other hand, they are worried that the stubborn diseases of Chinese football will make the Five Tigers unable to do anything. If even the Five Tigers cannot help Chinese football achieve good results, then who can we count on?

Now seeing this goal, the worries in many people's hearts have suddenly alleviated a lot.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi turned around and ran towards Wu Lei who passed the ball to him. At the same time, he called He Ying and other teammates to come over and celebrate together.

He did this on purpose, to unite the team and avoid divisions between the Five Little Dragons and the rest of the team. Because the most popular players on this team are of course the five overseas players, but if they are too popular, what will others think?

Although everyone seems to have a harmonious relationship now, as long as this class difference exists, it will inevitably leave a hidden danger within the team.

Although Zhou Yi is not the captain of this team, he considers the overall situation.

We are also willing to keep the team united at all times. A team that is not united cannot win the championship even if its combat effectiveness is overwhelming.

All the Chinese Olympic team players on the court rushed up to celebrate the goal, even goalkeeper Sun Pan was no exception.

This is the team's first goal in the Olympics, which is particularly memorable.

Zhou Yi scored the first goal for the Chinese Olympic team in this Olympic Games. This is the first appearance of the Chinese Olympic team at the London Olympics. What a perfect start! He Ping said happily at the scene. With. A textbook defensive counterattack, so fast that the Mexican defenders did not react at all! When Zhou Yi completed the goal, most of the Mexican Olympic team players had just returned to their own half.

Before the game, the Chinese media all knew that the Chinese team's tactics were defensive counterattacks. No one has any objection to this. As long as we can win, it doesn't matter what tactics we use.

However, before the goal was scored, everyone was a little worried when watching the Chinese team being bombarded by the opponent in the half.

Defensive counterattack is based on not conceding the ball. If the ball is conceded, it is all over.

Fortunately, the performance of the Chinese team this time is reassuring. First of all, it withstood the opponent's indiscriminate bombardment defensively, and secondly, it was very efficient when counterattacking.

After losing the ball, the Mexican Olympic team naturally could not accept such a result. They launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal.

But this is exactly what the Chinese team, which plays defensive counterattack, wants to see.

So Mexico attacked fiercely, and the Chinese team counterattacked.

Over and over again, Mexico also discovered the embarrassing situation they are now facing. If they continue to attack like this, it is likely that the Chinese team will expand the score before equalizing the score.

If we were two goals behind in the first half, the game would be over.

So before the end of the first half, the Mexican Olympic team had to slow down. As soon as they slowed down the pace, the Chinese team also slowed down. Even if the ball was at their feet, they were no longer in a hurry to pass it forward. They just moved back and forth in the midfield and backcourt. Time was wasted in this kind of passing.

When the first half of the game ended, many people were even surprised that the first half was over?

When they were off the field, Zhou Yi and Yang Muge walked off the field while talking and laughing. Not only them, but also the other Chinese team players had relatively relaxed expressions on their faces.

He Ping saw this scene and admired: The boys of the Olympic team performed very relaxedly, that's right. Although it is an Olympic game, to put it bluntly, it is just an ordinary ninety-minute football match. Don't There is so much baggage that traveling light can lead to great results. Keep it up!”

If the Chinese team can defeat the Mexican Olympic team, the strongest opponent in this group, in He Ping's view, the Chinese team's minimum goal of qualifying for the group will be completed.

Of course he hopes that his country's team can go as far as possible in the World Series. As a football commentator, this means that he can commentate on more Olympic team games. Even if you are not a football commentator, but a pure Chinese fan, you will hope so.

In the locker room, Blazevic did not praise the Chinese team's performance in the first half. He still warned the players with a serious face: There are still forty-five minutes in the game, and everything is possible. So don't think that we are leading now. One goal can definitely win the game. In the next game, you have to focus and not make mistakes.

Remember, there are many accidents in football matches, but there is an inevitable basis behind every seemingly accidental thing. If you get carried away because you are one goal ahead, you will inevitably incur retribution.

On the other side, Mexico's head coach Turner is making personnel adjustments. During the halftime break, he had to use up one substitution, replacing forward Peralta with Dos Santos.

In fact, in the Mexican Olympic team, the biggest star is definitely not Xavier Aquino, who was selected into the top ten rising stars list, but Dos Santos.

Dos Santos' full name is Giovanni dos Santos Ramirez, and he became famous very early.

In 2002, he entered Barcelona's youth academy training with his younger brother Hornasandos Santos, and was recruited into Barcelona's first team for the first time in 2006.

A year later, he was again recruited by Rijkaard into the Barcelona first team and was included in the pre-season training squad. After this training, he finally stayed in the first team and became a member of the Barcelona first team.

Because his technical style and coquettish pigtails were very similar to those of Barcelona's superstar Ronaldinho at the time, Dos Santos was called Ronaldinho II by the media. Fans had high hopes for him. He can inherit Ronaldinho's legacy in Barcelona, ​​and everyone is optimistic about his future development.

But who would have thought that Ronaldinho II's career did not develop smoothly.

He only played in Barcelona's first team for one season before being sold by Barcelona to Tottenham Hotspur. He also failed to play the main role at Tottenham Hotspur and was loaned out successively, and his performance was also unsatisfactory.

Now when the Mexican Olympic team encounters difficulties in the game, head coach Turner finally thought of having such a once-famous genius sitting on the bench.

Although Dos Santos is no longer regarded as Ronaldinho II, he is still an outstanding player for competitions at the Olympic level.

For dos Santos, if he can perform well in the Olympics, he may be able to rise again. This is a good opportunity to get out of the quagmire. To be continued. ..
