Chapter 167

In this year's Beijing Olympics, the Chinese National Olympic Team directly entered the Olympics with the advantage of being the host country. This is the second time that the National Olympic Team has entered the final stage of the Olympics after the Seoul Olympics.

Under the attention of the people of the whole country, the National Olympic Team must achieve something.

This time, the Olympics at home will not only be watched by fans, but also by ordinary people across the country.

If they achieve results, they will naturally gain glory, fame and fortune. If they fail again, they will probably be scolded more miserably than when the adult national team lost the World Cup in 2002.

In order to gamble on the Olympics, the Chinese Football Committee cut the league into several sections, and the adult national team did not care much. Almost all hopes were placed on the National Olympic Team, and the slogan of the National Olympic Team to enter the Olympic semi-finals was shouted.

The players are not convenient to make irresponsible remarks about the decisions of the higher-level Football Committee, but they are football players, they know their own strength, and they know that the Football Committee's goals are impossible to achieve.

Since last year's Toulon Cup, the Chinese Olympic team has had 2 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses in various competitions so far, and has not won 8 consecutive games against European teams.

With the strength of the Chinese Olympic team, let alone entering the semi-finals, it may be difficult to even qualify from the group stage. It is hard to say whether it can break the embarrassing history of not scoring a goal in three games and not winning a game in the last Seoul Olympics.

Of course, now with the addition of Jiang Xiaolin, everyone is still confident about breaking the history of the Seoul Olympics, scoring a goal or a victory.

But everyone is not confident about whether they can qualify from the group stage and pursue higher goals.

Even so, it has already made everyone very excited.

There is no need to think about the unrealistic semi-final goal of the Football Committee. As long as they can score goals, win and break history in the Olympics, it is enough to make the players full of motivation.

After celebrating excitedly for more than half a minute, everyone returned to their own half and waited for the opponent to kick the ball in the middle circle.

The game resumed, and the National Olympic Team seemed to have walked out of the haze of eight consecutive defeats against European teams, playing with more method and confidence.

Especially in the frontcourt attack, Jiang Xiaolin's physical fitness, speed, positioning, point grabbing, dribbling, passing, etc. were obviously much stronger than his teammates and opponents.

Coupled with his full team cooperation, deliberately reducing his own strength to cooperate with his teammates, the National Olympic Team's attack seemed much smoother and sharper.

In the 28th minute, Jiang Xiaolin got the ball in the frontcourt and was closely watched by two defenders of the opponent. He accurately sent the ball to Zhao Xuri who was inserted from behind.

Zhao Xuri dribbled the ball forward about 10 meters and was intercepted by the opponent's defender near the penalty area line. He did not take credit and sent the ball to the ribs of the penalty area.

The wing forward Hao Junmin, who cut inward from the wing, shot the ball without stopping before the defender of the selection team in the penalty area cleared the ball, and the ball went straight to the near end corner.

However, the goalkeeper was standing at the near end and predicted Hao Junmin's shooting route. With a timely side dive, Hao Junmin's shot at the near corner was saved out of the bottom line, which disappointed Hao Junmin and other Olympic team members and Chinese spectators and reporters on the sidelines.

However, although the goalkeeper saved the ball, it was the biggest threat in this game except Jiang Xiaolin.

This was rare in the previous games against European teams.

Jiang Xiaolin's goal and threat were within everyone's expectations, because Jiang Xiaolin had the ability, and it would be disappointing if he didn't score or create a threat.

But as a domestic player, Hao Junmin's attack and shot made the coaches such as Dujkovic and Yin Tieshen on the sidelines suddenly brighten up.

Dujkovic turned to Yin Tieshen next to him and said, "The quality of this attack is very good. Although there is no goal, both Zhao Xuri's assist and Hao Junmin's final shot are very threatening."

Yin Tieshen nodded and said, "Yes, the quality of this attack is very high, which is rare! However, I think the most important thing is that Jiang Xiaolin attracted the defense of two defenders of the opponent with the ball and accurately sent the ball to Zhao Xuri's feet, which led to Zhao Xuri's assist to Hao Junmin. Therefore, this attack can be said to be initiated by Jiang Xiaolin, Jiang Xiaolin here In the first attack, he took on the role of organizing the attack as a front midfielder. "

Dujkovic nodded and said, "Yes! Jiang Xiaolin's integration into the team exceeded my imagination. Not only can he score goals by himself, but he also doesn't stick to the ball. He can organize the attack according to different situations, which improves the team's offensive ability. It's not easy. Congratulations to you, China has a super genius. Moreover, at such a young age, the strength of Chinese football will usher in a period of rapid development in the next ten years. "

Yin Tieshen smiled and said, "Thank you, and congratulations to you. With Jiang Xiaolin under your command, I guess this OlympicsThe result will not be bad. "

Dujkovic nodded and continued to watch the game.

On the field, Hao Junmin was indeed a little discouraged for not being able to score, but Jiang Xiaolin walked up and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother Hao, don't be discouraged, there is still early time, there are still many opportunities."

Hao Junmin smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm just depressed for a while, if I hit the far corner, I might have scored! "

Then, the two entered the penalty area, ready to compete for a header, and Lu Lin took the corner kick.

Lu Lin was less than 170 cm tall, so he really didn't have the conditions to compete for a header in the penalty area, so he could only take the corner kick.

However, Lu Lin didn't do a good job this time, and the height was not enough. He was headed out of the penalty area by the players of the selection team at the front point, and it didn't fall on Jiang Xiaolin's head.

Jiang Xiaolin's header has not found a place to use.

Next, the two sides created some threats to each other. The situation of the game was different from the beginning. The National Olympic Team was able to play offense and defense with the Belgrade Regional Selection Team.

And because of Jiang Xiaolin's presence, the offensive quality of the National Olympic Team was much higher than that of the selection team.

Although the individual strength and physical fitness of the regional selection team were stronger than the National Olympic Team, it was indeed a temporary ragtag army, and the tacit cooperation was indeed much worse than that of the National Olympic Team.

In addition to Jiang Xiaolin , the attack of the National Olympic Team was effective again at the end of the first half.

However, this time it was Jiang Xiaolin who scored the goal, and other players were still a little lacking in the final shot.

In the 43rd minute, the National Olympic Team broke the attack of the selection team and launched a quick counterattack. Jiang Xiaolin held the ball in the frontcourt and attracted the defense of two defenders of the opponent, then split the ball. After receiving the ball, the wing forward Wang Xiaolong passed the ball from the bottom. Jiang Xiaolin rushed into the penalty area with his keen ability to grab points and agile running, jumped high, and hit the ball to the back of the goal with a powerful header.

The goalkeeper made a save reflexively, but Jiang Xiaolin's header was powerful, fast, and at a tricky angle. He was really helpless and could only watch the ball fly into the goal from a distance.

Jiang Xiaolin's header finally played a role, allowing him to score twice and take a 2-0 lead for the National Olympic Team.
