Chapter 279

When they returned to the Olympic Village, Jiang Xiaolin and others were welcomed by fans and staff.

Everyone waved the national flag and welcomed the triumphant Chinese Olympic team at the entrance of the hotel.

"The Chinese team is awesome!"

"The Chinese team will win!"

"Come on, Chinese team!"

When the bus stopped and Jiang Xiaolin and others got off, the cheers and shouts became even louder.

Not only Jiang Xiaolin, but all the Chinese team players were enthusiastically cheered by fans and staff.

Then, everyone rushed up to find Jiang Xiaolin and others for autographs.

Jiang Xiaolin signed forty or fifty autographs before being let go.

After returning to the hotel, they were welcomed by the women's football team again.

Both the Chinese men's and women's football teams made a good start in this Olympic Games, and it was worth celebrating.

Therefore, that night, the Chinese men's and women's football players, team doctors, team leaders, coaches, etc. who lived in the Shenyang competition area held a celebration banquet together.

Next, the National Olympic Team will continue to conduct daily training at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center and wait for the start of the next game.

The next day, after a night of fermentation, the news that the Chinese Olympic team had 10-0 bloodbathed New Zealand spread to every corner of China through newspapers published early in the morning.

"The Chinese Olympic team 10-0 bloodbathed New Zealand to create a new history for Chinese men's football!"

"The Olympic team 10-0 won New Zealand and scored the first goal and the first victory of the Chinese men's football team in the Olympics!"

"Jiang Xiaolin scored six goals and two assists in a single game and led the Olympic team to 10-0 bloodbath New Zealand!"

"The Olympic team defeated New Zealand with a double-digit score to get off to a good start in the Olympic men's football!"

Many people only know that the opening ceremony of the Olympics is on August 8, and they don't know that the football match will start before the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

There are also some ordinary people who don't watch TV or go online. They learned from the newspapers published that morning that in the football match last night, the Chinese men's football team actually bloodbathed New Zealand with a double-digit score of 10-0, which made people stunned and talked about it.

"Didn't they say that our Chinese men's football team is not good? How could they score like this?"

"I don't know! I only found out about it this morning when I read the newspaper."

"From what the newspaper wrote, maybe the player named Jiang Xiaolin is too good? Six goals in a single game + two assists, this data is simply world-class!"

"Yes! It is said that he has played less than half a season in the Eredivisie, and he ranks third in the Eredivisie scorer list, averaging almost two goals per game, which is amazing!"

"No wonder! For a player who can perform so well in Europe, it must be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables in an amateur competition like the U23 level of the Olympics."

"The Olympics is not an amateur competition! Although professional players were not allowed to participate before, now that the restrictions have been lifted, The players who participated in the Olympic football matches are all professional players, and the gold content is not worse than that of the professional league. It's just that the average age is a little lower, and it can't be considered an international A-level event. "

"I don't care what level of event it is. Anyway, I think the Olympics is the most watched sports event in the world. It's awesome to be able to score 6 goals in the Olympics and lead the National Olympic Team to a 10-0 bloodbath of the opponent! "

"Not bad! It seems that I will also pay attention to this player named Jiang Xiaolin in the future!"

"Well, I will go back to the computer to watch the replay of the game. It must be very exciting!"

"You know how to use a computer? Let's go together, I'll go and see it too!"

On this day, countless viewers and fans who missed the live broadcast chose to watch the replay of the National Olympic Team's 10-0 victory over New Zealand at home.

After watching the video, everyone was shocked and conquered by the performance of the National Olympic Team.

Such a National Olympic Team is completely different from the Chinese men's football team they usually hear and see!

How can people not love it?

Many old fans fell in love with the Chinese men's football team again, and many pseudo-fans became die-hard fans. More viewers who never watched football before became interested in football.

A 10-0 victory completely changed the public opinion environment of the Chinese men's football team.

Of course, there are also some stubborn Chinese haters who claim that the performance of the National Olympic Team in this game was too abnormal, probably because of the atmosphere of the home game.

In addition, Jiang Xiaolin's amazing performance probably also led to the performance of his teammates, so they played such a game.

Watch, the next game against the European team Belgium and the football kingdom Brazil, the Chinese team will be beaten back to its original form.

For such comments, naturally, other netizens and fans instantly criticized it.

In the past history of Chinese football, a game like today is definitely worth celebrating, no matter whether it is accidental or inevitable?

After all, football itself is made up of countless accidents. Many experiencesAren't goals and victories all luck-driven?

If football loses chance and luck, what's the point? Why not rank the strength and value of each team and let the highest-ranked team win the championship?

Football is so attractive because it is full of uncertainties.

Therefore, no matter how the National Olympic Team won such a big victory, everyone should just cheer and celebrate the historic goals and victories of the Chinese men's football team in the world competition.

At 8 pm on August 8, 2008, the opening ceremony of the 29th Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, which attracted worldwide attention, was held grandly at the National Stadium (Bird's Nest).

Jiang Xiaolin and all the National Olympic team members watched the opening ceremony in the multimedia room.

The Bird's Nest, which can accommodate more than 90,000 people, was packed with people. The countdown, welcome fireworks, fantasy five rings, cultural performances, entrance ceremonies, lighting of the Olympic flame, etc., made the audience at the scene and around the world fascinated.

According to statistics afterwards, about 1 billion viewers around the world watched the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, accounting for 15% of the world's total population. It was an unprecedented grand occasion.

After the opening ceremony, it was time for the Olympics.

On August 9, weightlifter Chen Xiexia won the first gold medal for the Chinese team in the women's 48kg competition with her outstanding performance in breaking the Olympic records in the clean and jerk and the total score.

At the same time, this was also the first gold medal born in the Beijing Olympic Games.

When the five-star red flag was raised over the gymnasium and the majestic national anthem sounded, countless Chinese people at the scene and in front of the TV were in tears.

This was the first gold medal born in the first Olympic Games held on our own land. It was successfully won by Chen Xiexia who lived up to expectations, which was of great significance.

Next, the Chinese team won gold medals every day and has always firmly occupied the first place in the gold medal list.

The determination of the Chinese team to win the first place in the total gold medal list of this Olympic Games is extremely firm.

Three days after the first round of matches, on August 10, the second round of the men's football group stage officially began.

In the first match of the second round, which was held at 17:00 Beijing time, the main players of the Brazilian team played, but in the end they only beat New Zealand 5-0, which was far from the score of 10-0 of the Chinese team against New Zealand.

Of course, the goal difference was also much worse.

But because the Brazilian team won two consecutive games, they actually had 6 points to advance, while New Zealand was eliminated from the group stage in advance with a shameful record of 0 points, 0 goals and 15 goals conceded in two games.

Next, it was a life-and-death battle between the Chinese team and Belgium.

For the Chinese team, as long as they tied, they would have a high probability of advancing, unless New Zealand deliberately lost to Belgium by a large score in the last round, allowing Belgium to surpass the Chinese team in goal difference.

But that was impossible at that time.

Even if New Zealand had been eliminated in advance, they would not let their opponents score more than double-digit goals against them.

If there are more than two double-digit goals conceded in three games in an Olympic Games, it is estimated that the players of the New Zealand Olympic team will not dare to return home and commit suicide to thank their compatriots.

Therefore, in the second game against the Belgian Olympic team, the Chinese team, which has a huge advantage in goal difference, can basically qualify as long as it draws.

On the contrary, for Belgium, this game is a life-and-death battle that must be won.

If it does not win, there is no chance of qualifying.

On the evening of August 10, the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center was full of people, and even outside the Olympic Sports Center, countless citizens who wanted to buy tickets to enter the venue on the spot gathered.

Unfortunately, because of the big explosion of the Chinese Olympic team in the previous game, the tickets for this game have been sold out long ago, and even scalpers don’t have many tickets.

Even if there are, they are sky-high prices and few people can afford them.

The tens of thousands of Chinese fans who were able to enter the Olympic Sports Center with tickets turned the Olympic Sports Center into a sea of ​​red, and the mere one or two thousand Belgian fans seemed too alone in it.

It was still early in the game, but the fans were already singing, clapping, and cheering enthusiastically, preparing for the game.

The big win in the last game ignited the enthusiasm of the fans that they had not seen in many years.

Chinese football has not seen such a passionate scene in many years.

When Jiang Xiaolin and other Chinese players came out to warm up, this enthusiasm was pushed to the peak. Many fans shouted the names of Jiang Xiaolin and others, like crazy, and they were no different from the die-hard fans of those movie and music stars.

Jiang Xiaolin's six goals in the last game were so shocking that he attracted countless fans.

Baker called Jiang Xiaolin privately and said that many Chinese brands have contacted Fan Hongyu recently to ask Jiang Xiaolin to be the image spokesperson, and the bids are several times higher than before the Olympics.

Obviously, this is the first gameJiang Xiaolin scored six goals and two assists in a single game.

Of course, now is not the time to talk about advertising. Let's finish the Olympic Games first.

In the enthusiastic singing of the fans, the Chinese team and Belgium finished the pre-match warm-up, then returned to the locker room to change into game uniforms and prepare to play.

After completing the entrance ceremony, playing the national anthem, and choosing sides, before the game started, Jiang Xiaolin turned on the team halo to check the team's morale, which was as high as 88%.

This surprised Jiang Xiaolin.

You know, the overall on-the-spot state of the team in the last game was only 73%, but it was unexpected that it soared to 88% in this game.

According to the system's explanation, the on-the-spot state of the Chinese Olympic team is better than that of most teams even in home games.

Jiang Xiaolin thought about it and understood the reason. It was probably the big win in the last game that gave the Chinese team players super confidence.

Therefore, the players were much less nervous in today's game. In addition, with the goal difference advantage, the Chinese team players can qualify as long as they draw, and they also have a psychological advantage over their opponents.

Therefore, the team's overall on-the-spot state is much higher than the previous game, almost close to 90%.

Originally, Jiang Xiaolin had 22 attribute points left, and he was going to spend 20 attribute points to add team aura.

But now that the team's on-the-spot state is close to 90%, Jiang Xiaolin doesn't need to fill it up.

Jiang Xiaolin only spent 10 attribute points to increase the on-the-spot state of the team aura to 98%, and finally left 2% without adding, leaving 12 attribute points.

The on-the-spot state is only 2 percentage points away, so it doesn't really matter whether it is added or not.

In addition, the Chinese team can qualify as long as they draw, so Jiang Xiaolin feels that 98% of the on-the-spot state is enough, and there is no need to pursue 100% of the on-the-spot state.

It is more practical to save 10 attribute points and use them in the knockout rounds to see if you can make it to the finals.

At 19:45 on the evening of August 10, 2008, with the referee's whistle, the second round of the second match of the Beijing Olympic Men's Football Group C, the Chinese Olympic Team VS the Belgian Olympic Team, officially began.

After the game started, the Chinese team, whose confidence was boosted by the last big win and whose on-the-spot condition was increased to 98% by Jiang Xiaolin, took the initiative to launch an attack.

The first wave of attack hit the front side in less than half a minute. After receiving Wang Yongbai's side ball, the winger Cui Peng made a cross from the bottom. Unfortunately, the pass was a little closer to the goalkeeper, and the Belgian goalkeeper Bailly grabbed the ball before Jiang Xiaolin.

Although there was no goal or even a shot, this opening attack immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans on the scene.

Everyone in the stands applauded enthusiastically, shouting slogans such as "China will win", "Come on China", etc., to cheer for the Chinese team.

Then, Belgium launched a counterattack.

As a European team, Belgium is obviously much stronger than New Zealand.

In the latest FIFA ranking, Belgium ranks 46th, more than twice as high as the Chinese team.

In addition, the competition among European teams is fierce, and the FIFA ranking is not enough to reflect the true strength of European teams.

Therefore, as a European team, Belgium is actually much stronger than the ranking shows.

For example, Iran, 45th, Australia, 38th, and Japan, 35th, which are ranked before Belgium in FIFA, probably cannot beat Belgium if they really fight.

Therefore, when the Chinese team faces the attack of Belgium, it feels completely different from New Zealand.

New Zealand's attack seems a bit messy, without focus, and without too many rules, just like the Chinese team before it was in good shape.

The attack of the entire Belgian team seems to be much more coordinated.

Moreover, the individual skills of these young Belgian players are much stronger than what they show in the FIFA rankings.

Even though the overall condition of the Chinese team increased to 98%, it was unable to stop Belgium's first wave of attack.
