The game between the China Olympic team and the Nigeria Olympic team ended at eight o 'clock in the evening. When the China Olympic team left the stadium by bus, countless Chinese fans outside the stadium cheered to see them off!
Although the lads sitting on the bus were exhausted, they had confident smiles on their faces.
They were going to the Bird's Nest!
They were going to play in the Olympic men's football final!
Now their mentality was that no matter who their opponent was, they would not be afraid!
After returning to the hotel, the players went to the hotel's business conference room to watch another semi-final game held at nine o 'clock in the evening.
The feud between Brazil and Argentina!
In addition to the star players such as Agüero, Messi, and Ronaldinho, Maradona also arrived to watch the game, which was particularly eye-catching.
The players of the China Olympic team discussed while watching the game, frequently asking Qin Xiong for his opinion. Qin Xiong spoke freely, from the players' skills to the team's overall tactical changes. He communicated with his teammates in all aspects.
In the end, the Argentina team surprisingly defeated the Brazil team led by Ronaldinho with a score of 3: 0!
The final opponent was announced.
The China Olympic team would meet the Argentina Olympic team in the Bird's Nest to compete for the gold medal in the Olympic men's football competition!
After watching the game, the conference room was quiet. Qin Xiong stood up and turned back to his teammates with a smile. "What's wrong? Are you afraid? "
Feng Xiaoting was the first to shout, "What's there to be afraid of?"
"The game hasn't started yet!"
"Anyway, whether it's Argentina or Brazil, we're not afraid!"
"We've reached the final, I'm afraid it's too late now!"
"Hahaha!"
Qin Xiong left the conference room with a smile on his face and went back to his room to rest.
The next day, the China Olympic team flew back to the capital, Beijing, from Shanghai.
The China Olympic team entering the final of the Olympic men's football competition made the Chinese fans extremely excited.
Not to mention the improvement of the China team's performance in the past three tournaments, no one thought that China's football could contribute to China's sports medal in the Olympic Games.
Even the most pessimistic fans could comfort themselves: Even if they lost to Argentina, there was still a silver medal.
That's enough!
That's enough!
But for the China Olympic team, it was not enough!
In the past, they would have been satisfied.
However, after fighting side by side with Qin Xiong day and night for a month, their mentality had undergone a complete change.
Qin Xiong's spiritual influence was very strong. From the bits and pieces of daily training to the minutes and seconds on the field, Qin Xiong gave them a new attitude towards football!
After returning to Beijing, they began to prepare for the finals.
When Yan Tiesheng and Dujkovic were arranging the tactical layout for the final against Argentina, they specially called Qin Xiong over as an advisor.
Because Qin Xiong's experience in European football was very valuable.
Especially when South American players entered the top European leagues, La Liga was often the first choice. This was because their technical and tactical styles were similar and it was easier for them to perform well.
Qin Xiong looked at the two managers and the other coaches who were racking their brains. He shrugged and said, "Defend and counterattack. There's no other way. "
Yes, whether it was against Brazil or Argentina, the tactics were the same. If it was against some other opponents, especially European teams, it might be possible to say that they had the courage to fight against the opponent. But against the South American team, they did not have to think too much.
Only by restricting the opponent's individual performance through space restrictions could they have the power to fight.
The detailed suggestion that Qin Xiong could give was to block off the restricted area with human flesh!
If there was any good news for the China team to play against Argentina, it was that in terms of technical and tactical style, Argentina played purely with technical skills.
In their attacking group, there were almost no tall offensive players with strong confrontation ability.
From a technical and tactical point of view, the China team hardly had to worry about air defense. If nothing unexpected happened, the football would still roll on the turf most of the time.
So what the China team had to do was to further squeeze the space in the danger zone to the limit and not give Argentina the space to pass and cut cooperation and individual breakthroughs.
On August 22nd, the Brazilian Olympic team and the Nigerian Olympic team played the Olympic men's football third and fourth finals at the Shanghai Stadium. The Brazilian Olympic team defeated the Nigerian Olympic team in the regular time and won the third place of the tournament. Then the Brazilian Olympic team went to the Bird's Nest to watch the final live and participate in the gold, silver, and bronze medal award ceremony after the game.
At 12 noon on August 23rd, the Bird's Nest at the National Stadium, the Olympic men's football final arrived as scheduled!
The Bird's Nest was a sea of red. The China fans flocked to the stadium and filled the stands.
Before the start of the game, the China fans' favorite slogan echoed in the stadium.
"You do your best, I will never leave you!"
When the China Olympic team and the Argentina Olympic team walked out of the players' tunnel together, the entire stadium erupted into cheers.
On the road to the stadium, the Argentine players looked serious. A few players inadvertently glanced at the tall figure walking in front of the China Olympic team.
Qin Xiong!
Messi, Aguero, and Riquelme, the three top players in the Argentine attack group. They were all old rivals of Qin Xiong in La Liga!
They did not expect to meet Qin Xiong in his home country when they came to participate in the Olympic Games!
And because the Olympic Games were held in China, it was the home of the China Olympic team. Even if the China Olympic team was not favored by the outside world, it could even be said that the China Olympic team, the host, was a big dark horse!
But in the Bird's Nest stadium, which was now the most popular stadium in China, Qin Xiong was definitely the first superstar!
He made the stars pale in comparison.
Take a look. What was the jersey number on the back of more than 90% of the fans wearing the China team's jerseys?
Number 10!
That was Qin Xiong's number!
Listen. What was the name that appeared the most frequently in the cheers in the stands?
Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Captain Qin! Captain Qin!
At this moment, Qin Xiong was the God of the Green Shade in the hearts of the China fans!
No matter who among them liked the Argentine team, or had personal admiration for Messi, Aguero, Riquelme, and other star players, today, at this moment, they would all be thrown to the back of their minds.
If they wanted to support, they would support the China team!
When the players of the two teams walked to the stadium to begin the ceremony before the start of the game, every player of the China Olympic team had a look of pride on their faces.
That's right. The Olympic men's football team did not have much status in the Grassi world.
But the Olympic Games were different. They could compete for medals on this stage, and it was a football event. Why not be proud? Why not be proud?
This might be more exciting than standing in the World Cup!
Because the entire Chinese nation was watching them!
Under the attention and support of the fans, the media, and ordinary people, the China Olympic team, the dark horse, had opened a bloody path. Standing on the battlefield of the Bird's Nest was enough to make the entire nation excited!
I will do my best. Why not be proud?
