When Han Peng sent the football into the goal of the Italian Olympic team, the Beijing Workers' Stadium seemed to be in a riot!
The Chinese fans were feverishly jumping and dancing in the stands. The crazy cheers spread to every corner of the stadium. The fans waving the national flag and the fans beating the drums worked even harder to wave the national flag. They used all their strength as if they wanted to break the drums!
Qin Xiong rushed to Han Peng's side, put one arm around his shoulder, and kept pointing at Han Peng with the other hand. He was letting the fans cheer for Han Peng even louder!
The morale of the China Olympic team was high. On the way back, Qin Xiong encouraged his teammates, "Hold on, the game is about to end. We can't let the victory slip through our fingers!"
The teammates around him nodded firmly, encouraging each other, telling each other to hold on, withstand the pressure, ensure the victory, and step into the semifinals with their heads held high!
The Italian Olympic team suffered a heavy blow and was short of one player. In the face of the Iron Bucket formation formed by the China Olympic team, the anxiety in their mentality led to a decline in their technical performance. After all, this was the China Olympic team, not the national team. It still took a lot of practice to break out a stronger fighting power in adversity.
Qin Xiong began to stall for time after he got the ball. He dribbled the ball in the direction of the sideline, waiting for the opponent to grab it. Then he suddenly started to get rid of it and dribbled to the front field or horizontally.
Time ticked by. When Qin Xiong won two consecutive sideline balls in the front field, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.
All the China Olympic team rushed into the field to celebrate their victory.
"Congratulations to the China team for breaking into the semifinals of the Olympic Men's Football Competition! This is another big breakthrough for China's football in international competitions! "
The Italian Olympic team returned with a grievance, while the China Olympic team was saluted by the fans at the scene after the game!
The fans were ecstatic as they chanted the slogan over and over again.
"You do your best, I will never leave you!"
"You do your best, I will never leave you!"
.....
Qin Xiong pushed the credit of the team's victory to his teammates in an interview after the game.
"Today's victory is the best reward for everyone's hard work. Defense and offense, we did well. Of course, you can't say that just because we conceded two goals, the team's defense is not as good as it was against Brazil. In fact, these were two very different games. The Brazilian team did not give their all in that game. They have already advanced, so there is no need for them to fight to the death with us. But today, our game with the Italian team was a fierce battle between dragons and tigers. When two enemies meet on a narrow path, the brave will emerge victorious. Our teammates' performance was great. Zhao Xuwen and Han Peng both scored key goals. Every teammate is a contributor to the victory. We are improving, and now we have to prepare for the semi-finals."
Returning to the locker room after the game, Qin Xiong told every teammate to go back and have a good rest. Even if it was an Olympic game, for the China Olympic team could not participate in the Olympic Games every time, nor could they reach the semifinals every time................
The teammates followed his advice. Everyone quickly restrained the excitement of winning and then returned to the hotel to rest and recover.
Just as the Olympic Games were in full swing, the European arena was already full of smoke. The five major leagues had already started the new season's war.
Real Madrid's preparation for the new season was also coming to an end. They were about to play the Supercopa de España, against Valencia, the runner-up of last season's Copa del Rey.
With Qin Xiong's absence and the team's sale of Ronaldo, the team's senior management was more worried about the new season's lineup. Calderón also realized that he had wasted too much energy on Ronaldo in the past two months. Now, he was desperately trying to buy his favorite players. However, the good players that Real Madrid had their eyes on were all core players for the target club. Calderón was unwilling to be taken advantage of, so the negotiations became a wall everywhere.
Under Calderón's transfer operation, Real Madrid became the biggest joke in the European football transfer market this summer after humiliating Manchester City.
The soap opera with Ronaldo was used as a laughing stock. Two weeks before the transfer window closed, they hurriedly spread the net everywhere to buy players but were rejected. Real Madrid's summer signing progress was terrible!
The day before the Olympic men's football semifinals, Real Madrid and Valencia started the first leg of the Supercopa de España.
At the Mestalla Stadium, Real Madrid was forced to a 2: 2 draw with Valencia in the away game. Considering that it was an away game, Real Madrid's performance was passable.
In addition, Qin Xiong was still not in the team, so the attitude of the fans was still optimistic.
August 19th, 18 o 'clock in the evening.
The China Olympic team came to the Shanghai Stadium to compete with the African eagle, the Nigeria Olympic team, in the semifinals.
Fortunately for the China media, the other semifinal was a confrontation between the two South American giants.
Argentina and Brazil!
The China Olympic team was considered to have drawn the weakest of the three opponents in the semifinals.
In this game, the China Olympic team appeared to be more calm and unswervingly played defensive tactics. The Nigerian Olympic team was also cautious on the field.
The game was dull most of the time. The Nigerian Olympic team's attack did not have much variety. It was simple, direct, and violent. It was difficult to get a good chance under the intensive defense of the China Olympic team.
And they were heavily deployed in the middle and backfield to restrict Qin Xiong in particular. In addition to relying on the body to fiercely force the ball, they also did a good job of compressing the space.
Qin Xiong was the player who was attacked the most in the Olympic men's football game in the midfield. In this game, he was the player whose jersey became dirty the fastest.
The game was in a deadlock.
Until the 81st minute of the game, after the Nigerian Olympic team's attack for a corner kick failed, Qin Xiong did not return to defend in the front field. Hao Junmin had a flash of inspiration and sent a wonderful straight pass over the top.
Qin Xiong ran like lightning past the Nigerian Olympic team's rear defensive line. He dribbled the football into the Nigerian Olympic team's penalty area after he successfully reversed the offside position.
In front of the goalkeeper, Qin Xiong dribbled a step horizontally to confuse the opponent. Then he spiked the ball back to the reverse path and broke through the Nigerian Olympic team's goalkeeper. He finally scored an empty goal!
Qin Xiong turned his head to Hao Junmin and gave him a thumbs up after the goal.
Such a wonderful pass was rare, but it did not mean that the players of the China Olympic team could not pass it. It was just that there might be one in 20 passes, and it depended on whether the teammates could understand it.
Qin Xiong's goal helped the China Olympic team to defeat the African eagle, the Nigeria Olympic team.
The economical 1: 0 sent the China Olympic team to the Olympic men's football final!
