Chapter 283

After receiving the reward and drawing new skills, Jiang Xiaolin was ready to join his teammates in celebrating.

However, at this time, Maarten Martens approached Jiang Xiaolin.

"Jiang, let's exchange jerseys!" Martens said with a helpless expression.

Jiang Xiaolin patted the club teammate on the shoulder, took off his jersey and exchanged it with Martens.

After getting the jersey, Martens said: "Congratulations, I hope you can go further in the knockout round."

Jiang Xiaolin said: "Thank you!"

Martens asked: "Will you stay in Alkmaar next season?"

Jiang Xiaolin replied: "Of course I want to stay, after all, there are good friends like you there, and Van Gaal is also very good to me. However, it still depends on how the agent and the club talk."

Martens nodded, showing his understanding, and finally hugged Jiang Xiaolin, and then left with Jiang Xiaolin's jersey.

Then Jiang Xiaolin joined his teammates and fans in the carnival celebration.

After the game, all the major websites, which had prepared their articles long ago, immediately released the news that the Chinese team defeated Belgium 4-1 and advanced to the group stage in advance.

"The National Olympic Team defeated Belgium 4-1 and advanced to the group stage in advance!"

"Jiang Xiaolin scored another hat trick and led the National Olympic Team to advance to the group stage one round in advance!"

"The National Olympic Team created a new history of the Chinese football team in the World Series!"

"The National Olympic Team scored 14 goals in two games and advanced to the Olympic men's football knockout stage in advance!"

Although it was already evening when the game ended, the whole country was in a carnival. Especially those patriotic fans who have always loved football were full of pride at this time.

In the past, they liked football and cheered for the national football team, which was despised by their relatives and friends.

The most widely circulated saying in society is that the national football team is useless, and there are countless sentences mocking the national football team.

For example, "The national football team can't beat anyone, and the national table tennis team can't beat anyone" is the most representative.

Now, everyone can finally vent their anger.

Fans were promoting and celebrating in various forums, bulletin boards, blogs, and QQ groups. Anyone who dared to say something weird about the national football team would be righteously rebuked by them.

In communities where hardcore fans gather, everyone was discussing with tears in their eyes and overjoyed.

"I never thought that I would see the day when the national football team would rise again. It's so shocking!"

"Yes! Before the Olympics, I thought that Jiang Xiaolin could score one or two goals to break the embarrassing history of the Chinese men's football team not scoring in the world championships. I didn't expect that Jiang Xiaolin and the national Olympic team players would be so powerful. Not only did they score 14 goals in two games, but they also qualified in advance."

"Not only did they qualify, but now the national Olympic team has surpassed the Brazilian team and ranked first in the group to qualify. If Brazil cannot beat the national Olympic team in the next round of group matches, he We have to settle for second place."

"Haha, just thinking about it makes me excited! Before the Olympics started, I said I wanted to watch the National Olympic live broadcast, and my classmate mocked me, but now he is watching it too."

"Yeah! This National Olympic is really awesome! The goal of reaching the semi-finals set by the Football Committee doesn't seem too outrageous, it's really possible to achieve it!"

"Tsk, what does the Football Committee have to do with this result? If it weren't for Jiang Xiaolin's awesomeness, the National Olympic would never have achieved this result, everything is brought by Jiang Xiaolin."

"That's right! If it weren't for Jiang Xiaolin, just Dui's two scandals, It is enough to disperse the morale of the National Olympics. How can there be the extraordinary performance of these two games? " Isn't it a good look at this way? " "" It is good. As the world's number one sport, football has such great charm.

In fact, there have always been many football fans in China, but the performance of the national football team in the past few years was so embarrassing that many people dare not say that they are fans and don't watch football games much.

And these two national Olympic games suddenly had a big reversal, not only attracted those fans who already liked football, but also attracted countless fake fans and passers-by to become real fans, which naturally caused extremely heated discussions in society.

While the outside world was discussing the Chinese Olympic team's early qualification, the Brazilian Olympic team, which also qualified early, did not celebrate so much.

Because for the five-star Brazil, qualifying in the Olympic Games is not something worth celebrating.

Especially for the Brazilian Olympic team, which has never won an Olympic championship, their goal in every Olympic Games is the gold medal.

Qualifying in the group is just a small step! What's more, they are not the first in the group now, but have been pushed to the second in the group by the Chinese team, which everyone thought was a weak team before the game.

For the Brazilian Olympic team, this is simply a shame.

Let's take a look at who is in the Brazilian Olympic team:

Ronaldinho from Barcelona, ​​Robinho and Marcelo from Real Madrid, Pato from AC Milan, Lucas from Liverpool, Anderson from Manchester United, Diego from Bremen, etc.

Superstars of Ronaldinho and Robinho's level are first-class superstars even in the World Cup, and they are simply crushing in the U23 Olympic arena.

Not to mention the Chinese Olympic team, even Jiang Xiaolin can't compare with these people's fame and status.

Ronaldinho's worth alone can beat the entire Chinese Olympic team by several streets.

In this case, how can Brazil be willing to qualify as the second in the group?

What's more, there are very realistic reasons that make the Brazilian team consider whether it must defeat the Chinese team in the last group match to obtain a more favorable knockout schedule.

According to the schedule of the Olympic knockout matches, the first in Group C will play against the second in Group D, and the second in Group C will play against the first in Group D.

The first in Group D is currently Italy, which has won two consecutive games, and the second in Group D is the European team Cameroon.

Obviously, no one wants to face Italy.

This does not mean that the Brazilian team is afraid of Italy. Five-star Brazil is not afraid of any team. It's just that it will meet Italy in the first round of the knockout match. It is completely unnecessary for the two sides to fight to the death.

Therefore, if there is a way, Brazil would definitely prefer to avoid Italy.

To avoid Italy, the first in Group D, only by getting the first in Group C, you can play against Cameroon, the second in Group D, and don't have to play against Italy, the first in Group D.

It would be best to leave the Chinese Olympic team to Italy.

Therefore, after a discussion among the coaching staff, the Brazilian Olympic team decided to go all out in the last round of the group stage, aiming to defeat the Chinese team and strive for the first in the group to get a stronger opponent in the knockout match schedule.

Relatively speaking, the Chinese Olympic team did not have such an arrangement to compete for the first place in the group.

For the Chinese team, qualifying from the group is already a great joy. It is unnecessary to compete with the world's top teams like Brazil for the first place in the group. It is better to save energy for the knockout stage to strive for a breakthrough.

Besides, even if they compete, they may not win.

Especially Jiang Xiaolin, his attribute points will definitely be reserved for the knockout stage, not the last group stage.

A few days passed in a flash, and at 17:00 on the afternoon of August 13, the last two games of Group B and Group D started at the same time.

As expected by the Brazilians, Italy and Cameroon tied 0-0, and Italy occupied the first place in the standings of Group D.

If the Brazilians want to avoid Italy in the knockout stage, they must defeat the Chinese team in the last round of the group stage and get the first place in the group.

At 19:45 on the evening of August 13, 2008, with the referee's whistle, the last round of the Beijing Olympic Men's Football Group C match between the Chinese Olympic Team and the Brazilian Olympic Team officially began at the Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Center.

Before the game started, Jiang Xiaolin checked the on-site status of the Chinese team in this game, which was not bad, with a full 85%.

Obviously, the big wins in the first two games made the Chinese players not too nervous and afraid even when facing the five-star Brazil.

Jiang Xiaolin did not add the team aura because it was not necessary.

His attribute points had to be saved for the knockout rounds.

However, although there was no team aura, Jiang Xiaolin still added 2 zero attribute points to the "long pass" skill, increasing the "long pass" skill from 16 to 18, and the attribute point balance was only 30 integers.

The 18-point long pass can still allow Jiang Xiaolin to pass some good balls when needed, and it will not be too far behind Beckham and other long pass masters.

Then, the game officially started.

In this game, the main players of the Brazilian Olympic team played, including Ronaldinho, Pato, and Maradona.Sero and others all came on the field to compete with the Chinese team for the first place in the group.

But the Chinese team did not have such an idea.

Although the substitutes were not completely rotated, several main players were still rotated. Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng, and Hao Junmin were all replaced by fresh players to give Zheng Zhi and others a rest.

From the Chinese team's lineup, everyone can see that the Chinese team is not interested in this game.

The progress of the game was just as expected.

Without Jiang Xiaolin to improve the on-the-spot state, although the 85% on-the-spot state of the Chinese team was qualified, it could not form a state advantage over the Brazilian team.

Coupled with the gap in their own technology and strength, the disadvantage in the game was even more obvious.

Fortunately, the Chinese team had self-knowledge, and most people stayed in the backcourt to stabilize the defense, and then waited for an opportunity to kick the ball to Jiang Xiaolin for counterattack. They did not rashly insert assists and did not give the Brazilian team too much offensive space.

Even so, facing the Brazilian Olympic team led by Ronaldinho, the Chinese team still couldn't resist for long.

After all, everyone's state in this game was not as close to full value as in the previous game, and individual defense and team cooperation were sometimes not so perfect.

The Brazilian team firmly controlled the midfield, and then used Ronaldinho's skills to continuously attack the Chinese team's defense.

In the 17th minute, Ronaldinho used a sudden bull tail to pass the defense of the defensive midfielder Zhao Xuri at the front of the penalty area, and then made a wonderful pass to the penalty area.

Forward Pato suddenly pulled to the side before Ronaldinho made a direct pass, attracting the attention of two Chinese team central defenders.

Then at the moment when Ronaldinho passed the ball, midfielder Diego suddenly started, shook off the defensive midfielder Zhou Haibing who was defending him and went straight into the penalty area. After receiving Ronaldinho's wonderful pass, he shot near the penalty spot in the penalty area and kicked the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

Brazil opened the scoring with a goal assisted by Ronaldinho and Diego, leading China by one goal.

In the real-time standings, Brazil can rank first ahead of China, and the opponent to eliminate Shangzhong has changed from Italy to Cameroon.

This made the Brazilians put down their burdens and began to enjoy the game.

The Brazilians also saw that China was not interested in this game, and the strength and state of the players were not as good as in the previous two games.

Therefore, the Brazilians seemed more relaxed after scoring.

But they underestimated Jiang Xiaolin's desire to score.

Although Jiang Xiaolin did not increase the state of his teammates in this game and did not want to lead the team to defeat Brazil, he did not say that he did not want to win.

If you can win the game without adding the team aura, it will undoubtedly be a very pleasant experience.

Of course, after the game started, after observing the technical and tactical level of the Brazilian team up close, Jiang Xiaolin also understood that with the strength of him and his teammates, it is unlikely to defeat the Brazilian team without increasing the on-the-spot state to the maximum value.

The game went as he expected, and the Brazilians soon scored a goal and took the lead.

But Jiang Xiaolin did not give up.

Even if he could not win the game, he could still score a goal to gain experience.

In addition, if he could score a goal in the game against the Brazilian team, it would be of great benefit to his personal popularity.

Therefore, although he knew that the chance was low, Jiang Xiaolin was still looking for opportunities to counterattack.

However, under the strong midfield control of the Brazilian team, it was difficult for the teammates in average condition to accurately send the ball to where Jiang Xiaolin needed it.

It was not until the 23rd minute that the Chinese team completed the first threatening counterattack.

This was a mistake made by the Brazilian team, and Zhou Haibing seized the opportunity to intercept it, and then kicked it to Jiang Xiaolin in the frontcourt.

Jiang Xiaolin used his speed and ability to grab points to occupy the ball landing point and unload the ball, but he could not turn around under the defense of Thiago Silva, and finally could only pass the ball horizontally to Wang Yongbai who was inserted in the back row.

Wang Yongbai was unable to drive the ball into the goal due to Marcelo's interference, and finally he could only take a long shot from outside the penalty area, which actually hit the goal frame.

Unfortunately, the force was too weak and did not pose any threat to goalkeeper Reina, who easily caught the ball in his arms.

Although this counterattack did not result in a goal, it was still a shot within the goal frame, and the Chinese fans in the stands still gave a lot of applause to encourage.
