Chapter 295
August 16, 2008, evening, Beijing Workers' Stadium.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the whole stadium was suddenly plunged into a sea of carnival.
The commentator of the National Television Sports Channel jumped up from the commentary booth and screamed like crazy:
"The game is over! The game is over!"
"The referee blew the whistle to end the game!"
"The Chinese Olympic team reversed and defeated the Italian Olympic team with a score of 2-1, and advanced to the semi-finals of the men's football of this Olympic Games."
"The Chinese team eliminated Italy and advanced to the semi-finals."
"Fans and audience friends in front of the TV, you heard it right. In the Beijing Olympic men's football quarter-finals between China and Italy that just ended, the Chinese Olympic team lost a goal first, and Jiang Xiaolin scored at the end of the first half. A one-minute long pass assisted Wang Yongbo to score a wonderful diving header from outside the penalty area, tying the score to 1-1. "
"Then, in the 85th minute of the second half, Jiang Xiaolin created a penalty kick in the opponent's penalty area and scored it himself, reversing the score to 2-1 and maintaining it until the end of the game."
"The Chinese team was able to eliminate Italy in the quarter-finals and advance to the Olympic semi-finals, and they reversed and advanced after losing a goal first."
"I think many fans still can't believe their eyes now."
"Me too! Until this time, the referee had already blew the final whistle, and I still had A feeling like being in a dream! It was like a dream, unbelievable.
"After qualifying from the group and meeting Italy, I thought that the journey of the Chinese Olympic team in this Olympics was over."
"Even so, the two victories in the group stage are enough for us to remember for a long time."
"Unexpectedly, the National Olympic Team gave us such a big surprise. They continued to work hard in the knockout stage and defeated the favorite to win the championship, Italy, 2-1, and advanced to the semi-finals."
"This was a scene I didn't expect before the game, and it was also the most glorious scene in the history of Chinese football!"
"This is the most glorious scene in the history of Chinese men's football in the world championships!" The first knockout match in history, and defeated the opponent to advance. "
"This is also the first time that the Chinese men's football team has advanced to the semi-finals of a world competition."
"Although the Olympics cannot be compared with the World Cup, we believe that today's game will definitely change Chinese football and make more young people and children fall in love with football."
"Five or ten years later, more talents will emerge in Chinese football, and the future of Chinese football is full of light."
"Let us congratulate the Chinese Olympic team and ourselves."
In the emotional commentary of the commentator, countless elderly fans in front of the TV shed tears of joy.
Yes.
Before the end of the game, except for pseudo-fans and ordinary audiences who don't understand football at all, no real fans expected that the Chinese team could eliminate the world champion Italy and advance to the semi-finals of the Olympics.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese Olympic team created such a big upset. They scored two goals in a row and reversed the victory over Italy after losing a goal first, and advanced to the semi-finals of the Olympic men's football.
This really made many old fans a little bit unbelievable.
But the game is over, and you have to believe it even if you don't want to.
Then, there are celebrations with tears of joy and cheers with tears in eyes.
That night, countless fans in China fell into carnival.
Of course, compared with the outside world, the atmosphere of celebration in the Beijing Workers' Stadium, which gathered tens of thousands of the most hardcore Chinese fans, was even more enthusiastic.
When the game ended, the Chinese fans in the stands roared and screamed like crazy. Some jumped and danced, some applauded with tears, and some waved the national flag or slogans vigorously, crying...
The entire Beijing Workers' Stadium was like a volcanic eruption, filled with the most passionate emotions accumulated by Chinese fans for decades.
The Chinese players on the field also raised their arms and shouted, roaring and screaming the loudest, venting their excitement and excitement.
The Chinese team coaches, substitutes, team doctors, staff, etc. on the sidelines also rushed into the field to celebrate with the players on the field.
This time Jiang Xiaolin didn't even care about the experience rewards that the system gave out at the end of the game, and immediately joined the celebration with his teammates.
It was really exciting.
Although I knew that the team aura was abnormal, after all, it would be too uneconomical to spend 30 attribute points at one time if it didn't work.
But after Italy's defense was tightened in the second half, Jiang Xiaolin actually felt a little bad.
Unexpectedly, after Hao Junmin's suggestion, they began to frequently change positions, and suddenly the situation became clear. They actually created opportunities and won the game with a penalty kick.Italy was eliminated unexpectedly.
This victory, which was achieved at great cost, made Jiang Xiaolin, a football cheater who was used to big scenes and had system plug-ins, a little ecstatic, and fell into a sea of carnival with his teammates.
Every time the players arrived at a place, they could cause the enthusiastic screams and shouts of the fans in the stands.
Especially Jiang Xiaolin, who made one pass and one shot, as the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's upset victory over Italy and advancement to the semi-finals today, and the number one star of the Chinese team, every time he arrived at a stand, he could cause the loudest screams there, and even riots.
When Jiang Xiaolin walked to the sidelines to hug his mother, cousins, and agent, he almost caused nearby fans to swarm up, so Jiang Xiaolin quickly retreated to the stadium.
Otherwise, he was afraid of causing a stampede in the stands, and it would be bad if his family was injured.
Except Jiang Xiaolin, all other players of the Chinese team were also warmly cheered and applauded by the fans.
Especially Wang Yongbai, who scored the equalizer with a diving header outside the penalty area, received applause and cheers second only to Jiang Xiaolin, which made him very excited for a long time.
Finally, when several fans handed a huge national flag to the Chinese players and everyone walked around the field holding the national flag to express their gratitude, the atmosphere on the scene reached its climax.
As for the Italian players and fans, they had already left the field.
Anyway, it was their home field, and both the players and fans were reluctant to leave for a long time.
The stadium manager also stood outside with a smile, without any intention of entering the field to drive people away. Even some staff members quietly joined the fans and celebrated this historic victory carnival of Chinese football with everyone.
The carnival at the Beijing Workers' Stadium lasted for more than an hour before it gradually came to an end.
But even if the fans left the stadium, few people could calmly go home and sleep.
Most fans called a few friends to find a place to eat supper and drink together, continue to celebrate the historic victory of the Chinese Olympic team, and imagine the prospects of the Chinese team in the semi-finals.
Some fans even began to boldly hope that the Chinese team could advance to the finals and win the championship.
After all, after entering the semi-finals, they are only two wins away from the championship.
The Chinese team can even beat Italy, so what's so great about the championship?
But this time, no one laughed at the person who proposed this idea. Instead, everyone heatedly discussed the opponents that the Chinese team would face in the semi-finals and the possibility of winning.
This is very different from before the Olympic Games.
Before the Olympic Games, let alone the championship, even the Olympic semi-finals proposed by the Football Committee were laughed at to death.
Not only the fans laughed, but also the media laughed.
No one believed that the Football Committee's goal could be achieved.
Unexpectedly, the National Olympic Team actually achieved the goal of the Olympic semi-finals.
Of course, no one would give the credit to the Football Committee.
Everyone knows that the reason why the National Olympic Team can enter the semi-finals is that the Chinese team has one more Jiang Xiaolin.
Without Jiang Xiaolin, let alone the semi-finals, whether it can score goals and win the historic breakthrough is still unknown.
However, no matter how the process is, no matter who deserves the credit, this team belongs to China anyway. As Chinese fans, everyone is very happy tonight.
Everyone can talk boldly about football, Chinese men's football, and even discuss the possibility of the National Olympic Team winning the championship, but they will no longer be ridiculed by people around them like before.
Even many people who don't understand football are not ashamed to ask questions, and enthusiastically join the discussion, discussing the possibility of the Chinese team entering the finals and winning the championship.
The victory of the National Olympic Team tonight has really changed the impression of Chinese football in the eyes of the audience and fans, and it has really affected hundreds of millions of fans.
Among them, there will definitely be young people who like and love football, and even get the support of their parents to start professional football training.
The future reserve talents of Chinese football can be fully expected.
On the Chinese team side, Jiang Xiaolin didn't open the Green God system until he returned to the locker room and celebrated with his teammates for a long time. When he took a shower and changed clothes, he was able to check the rewards he got in today's game.
In this game, Jiang Xiaolin made one pass and one shot, and led the team to victory, so he got 1 assist 10,000 + 1 goal 20,000 + win 40,000 = a total of 70,000 basic experience.
In terms of game performance, although Jiang Xiaolin only had one goal and one assist, and also got the bonus of full on-site status, the system obviously did not simply use goals and assists to measure the player's performance.
In this game, Jiang Xiaolin faced Italy, a world-class team, and the opponent's head coach also made the most correct decision at the right time.The accurate tactical adjustment almost put the Chinese team, whose on-the-spot status was fully increased, into a desperate situation.
Even so, Jiang Xiaolin was able to lead the Chinese team to victory.
Therefore, although Jiang Xiaolin's goals and assists in this game were not many, he unexpectedly received the evaluation of "excellent performance" with a rating coefficient of 4.
Therefore, the total experience Jiang Xiaolin finally got was 70,000*4=280,000.
Adding the daily training experience of the previous two days, Jiang Xiaolin's level experience rose to 378,300/1 million at level 20.
As the experience required for upgrading increases, upgrading is becoming more and more difficult.
In another quarter-final that ended at the same time, the Brazilian Olympic team easily defeated the Cameroon Olympic team 2-0 as expected, and advanced to the semi-finals with the Chinese team.
However, the opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals was not Brazil.
After all, the two teams had already played against each other in the group stage.
If they want to play against each other again, they can only go to the final or the third and fourth place final.
The opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals has not yet started.
At 9:00 p.m. that night, the other two quarter-finals started at the same time.
90 minutes later, in a fierce offensive battle, Argentina relied on the outstanding performance of Messi, the successor of the King of Football, to help Argentina beat the Netherlands 2-1 and advance to the finals.
The last match between Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire ended with Nigeria defeating Cote d'Ivoire 2-0.
The semi-final match list became clear.
Brazil's opponent is old enemy Argentina, and China's Olympic team's opponent is the African Eagle Nigeria.
In fact, everyone has long known that China's opponent is the winner of Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire, which is why many fans first thought that China might enter the final.
Because Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire are not very strong.
Although the Olympic team is not the same as the national team, the strength of the national team can also serve as a reference for the strength of the Olympic team.
Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria are ranked 25th and 27th in FIFA world football.
Before today, the Chinese team would never have thought about competing with such a ranked team.
But now, the Chinese team has even defeated Italy, which is ranked third in the world. Although the team ranked in the 20th place cannot be said to be sure to win, it still has a chance.
And the chance is not small.
As long as the Chinese team performs in the first two games of the group stage and the quarter-finals, there is really a great chance to beat Nigeria and then enter the final.
As for the final, a decisive game, why can't we imagine the championship?
Therefore, the possibility of the Chinese team winning the Olympic championship is real!
The football fan base is too large.
Therefore, that night and the next day, although the Chinese team only entered the semi-finals, its news popularity was no less than those gold medal projects, and even more.
At the end of the game, the TV media directly inserted or used subtitles to remind the audience that the Chinese Olympic team defeated Italy 2-1 and advanced to the semi-finals.
Online media outlets pushed the news of the Chinese team's upset victory over Italy to hundreds of millions of netizens across the country at the fastest speed.
The radio also broadcast the good news to the elderly and taxi drivers who listened to the radio.
As for newspapers, they had to wait until the next morning to come out.
But once they came out, most of them were heavy reports on the first or second page, and even on the front page of professional football media. The news of gold medals in other events was not as important as the news that the National Olympic Team upset Italy and advanced to the semi-finals.
"The National Olympic Team upset Italy and advanced to the Olympic Men's Football Semi-finals!"
"The National Olympic Team reversed and defeated Italy 2-1 to advance to the Olympic Men's Football Semi-finals and created a new history for Chinese football! "
"Jiang Xiaolin led the Chinese National Olympic Team to defeat Italy 2-1 and advance to the semi-finals with one assist and one goal! "
"A new chapter in Chinese football: The National Olympic Team defeated Italy 2-1 and advanced to the semi-finals! 》
Various headlines filled the online and offline media across the country, and the news became known throughout the country within just one day.
Many viewers who used to look down on football, especially the Chinese men's football team, heard the news that the Chinese Olympic team defeated Italy and advanced to the semi-finals, and their first reaction was bragging.
But later, when they saw the overwhelming news that the Chinese Olympic team defeated Italy 2-1 in a reversal and advanced to the semi-finals in various media, they believed it.
After watching the game recordings or video collections, they were impressed by the state and spirit of the Olympic team.
In particular, the ability shown by Jiang Xiaolin made people exclaim: China actually has a star of this level?
The Chinese Olympic team led by Jiang Xiaolin has attracted more and more fans.Attention and support.
Presumably, the next semi-final of the National Olympic Team will be much more attractive than many Olympic gold medal events.
The final results of the National Olympic Team have made countless fans and spectators look forward to it.
