When the focal battle between China's Olympic team and Brazil's Olympic team finally came to an end, the picture was fixed on the scene of Qin Xiong and Ronaldinho in sportswear holding each other's arms after the game.
China's Olympic team was preparing for the quarterfinals in full swing.
The team first moved to the capital, Beijing, and the quarterfinals would be played in the Beijing Workers' Stadium.
Stimulated by the results of China's Olympic team, fans outside the Beijing Workers' Stadium had already put up a giant banner to welcome the arrival of China's Olympic team.
"You do your best, I will never leave you!"
This slogan instantly spread all over the country and was passed on by China's fans by word of mouth!
While preparing for the quarterfinals against the Italian Olympic team, Qin Xiong, who had rested for a period of time to relieve his long-term fatigue, felt more relaxed than ever.
It was impossible for him to let the Chinese Olympic team teammates learn from him and make them have obvious improvements in their technical and tactical literacy and ball skills. That was unrealistic.
However, in the group stage, the Chinese Olympic team had built up strong self-confidence, and at the same time, they had tempered their fighting spirit. Although the external attributes would not change dramatically, the growth of the internal spirit was enough to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the team!
Football was a competition of all-round qualities, not just skills and tactics.
At 18 o 'clock in the evening of August 16, Qin Xiong led the energetic China's Olympic team to compete with the Italian Olympic team at the Beijing Workers' Stadium.
When China's Olympic team appeared on the field, the entire stadium echoed with earth-shattering cheers. The fans roared in unison.
"You do your best, I will never leave you!"
Not only was the Italian Olympic team stunned by the mind-blowing cheers, but even the players of the China's Olympic team were caught off guard.
When had they ever felt such a terrifying home atmosphere?
Qin Xiong was more energetic than in the previous two games he had played. He raised his chin and the corners of his mouth were filled with a ferocious look caused by his fighting spirit.
Great!
This was the atmosphere!
Even if the Grassi world did not pay much attention to the Olympic Games, they had to let the world hear China's voice!
"The Beijing Olympic Men's Football Match 14 Finals, the match between China and Italy will be held at the Beijing Worker's Stadium. I am the live commentator, Duan Xuan. I will be bringing the live commentary of this match to the audience. The atmosphere at the Beijing Worker's Stadium today is unprecedented. The stadium is now reverberating with the fans' expectations for China.
Even if you do your best, I will never leave you!
This slogan had spread throughout China in the past two days. Many media outlets quoted this slogan to cheer for China!
One of the focuses of everyone's attention was the captain of the China team, Qin Xiong. He did not play in the last game against the Brazilian team. Coach Dujković's explanation was that Qin Xiong needed to rest, which everyone could understand and dispelled everyone's worries. Everyone was afraid that Qin Xiong could not play because of an injury.
Now that Qin Xiong was back, he led the China team to face the powerful Italian team here!
China's starting lineup is 4-4-2.
Goalkeeper: Qiu Shengjiong.
Defenders: Wan Houliang, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng, Tan Wangsong.
Midfielders: Hao Junmin, Zhou Haibin, Liu Yi, Zhao Xusheng.
Forwards: Qin Xiong, Han Peng.
Italy's starting lineup is 4-3-21.
Goalkeeper: Viviano.
Defenders: Motta, Bocchetti, Cristovich, Decelli.
Midfielders: Rossi, Zigalini, Nocerino, Montolivo, Giovinco.
Forward: Acquafresca.
Well, the kick-off ceremony of the game is over. China will be the first to kick off. Let's cheer for China and hope that China can continue to work hard and go further! "
Before the kick-off, Qin Xiong and his teammates bent over in the midfield and hooked their shoulders in a circle. Qin Xiong lowered his head and said to his teammates, "Do you see? Do you hear? This is our home ground. Our fans are fanatically supporting us. What do they want from us? They just want us to do our best in the game! Are the requirements high? I don't think so. There are many teams in the world that are stronger than us. But should we shrink back and be afraid when facing them? So what if we lose? There are wins and losses in football games, but we have to win with pride and lose with a clear conscience! Tell me, can we do it? "
"Yes!"
The 11 players in the starting lineup of the China Olympic team shouted in unison.
Qin Xiong continued in a deep voice, "Come on, let's cheer together! 3,2,1！”
"Come on, come on, China Team, come on!"
The morale-boosting ceremony before the kick-off ended. Every player in the China Olympic team put on a fighting spirit and fearless posture to prepare for the kick-off.
Qin Xiong and Han Peng walked to the center circle to kick off. After the referee's whistle, Han Peng kicked the ball to Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong immediately dribbled the ball forward. His teammates behind him stared at his back attentively. Boundless fighting spirit was ignited in their chests, as if there were dragons and tigers in their chests and abdomens that were about to break out of their bodies. It was earth-shattering!
Qin Xiong's mind flashed through the contents of the last game when he dribbled the ball toward Italy's half of the field.
China's Olympic team resisted Brazil's Olympic team for the whole game. They had done better than expected. The reason why China's Olympic team was defeated and could not even get a draw was that after the game, a professional football critic analyzed that the China team only had defense and no counterattack!
Yes, such an analysis hit the nail on the head.
Qin Xiong, who watched the whole game live, also thought so.
Today, he played.
Looking at Italy's defensive formation, Qin Xiong silently said in his heart, "Today, leave the offense to me!"
His teammates had already shouldered their due responsibilities. Qin Xiong, as the captain, of course, had to set an example!
Qin Xiong, who dribbled in front of Giovinco and was about to break through to the right front, kicked the ball back under his feet. When Giovinco stopped and came forward to press for the ball, Qin Xiong gently kicked the ball to his right front, and then bypassed Giovinco from the left front to press for the ball. Within a small range, the breakthrough was successful.
Rossi immediately rushed to press for the ball, but Qin Xiong passed the ball back to Han Peng behind.
After he ran forward and rushed past Rossi, Qin Xiong received the pass from Han Peng, and it was a vertical two-over-one combination!
Qin Xiong, who dribbled along the middle of the field, seemed to be challenging Italy's defensive system single-handedly.
Italy's three midfielders and four defenders tightened the middle, like a fan in front of Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong suddenly stopped five meters in front of Nocerino. Han Peng rushed up from behind and ran directly into the penalty area.
At the right time, Qin Xiong flicked the ball into the penalty area before Montolivo and Qi Galini came to press for the ball.
Han Peng rushed to the penalty spot in the penalty area in a position parallel to the penalty spot in the penalty area!
Under the interference of the defender, Han Peng's header was deflected, but it won the cheers of the crowd!
