Don't shame the people!

This sentence seems simple, but it is not easy to do.

Yang Yang's understanding of this is that the strength can be inferior to others, and the game can be lost, but you must have a clear conscience and do your best.

In the second game of the group stage, against the European powerhouse Belgium, the Chinese team faced such a dilemma.

Belgium lost 1-0 to Brazil in their first game, and the main central defender Kompany and the central midfielder Fellaini both received red cards, and both will miss the game against the Chinese team, which is definitely a big positive for the Chinese team.

But even so, the overall strength of the Chinese team is still not as good as Belgium.

This is not something that Yang Yang alone can make up for.

Thomas Vermaelen and De Mur are both in the current Belgian Olympic team, even if Fellaini and Kompany are suspended, there are still young Belgian players such as Van den Boray, Mirallas, and Dembele, and the overall strength is still quite good.

Chen Tao has been playing for Anderlecht, Belgium, and he knows the strength of the Belgian players very well, and he told his teammates before the game that Belgium has vigorously developed youth training in recent years, and the overall strength of the young players is very good, and he hopes that the whole team will pay attention to it.

The game was still held in Shenyang, and after the opening, the Chinese team continued to attack.

Belgium is very jealous of Yang Yang, and specially arranged two players to freeze him, and Vermaelen obviously has no mercy on his iron buddies.

The first shot in the opening game, Zhao Xuri in the middle of the ball to the left side, Yang Yang crossed with his left foot to the goal, Gao Lin directly knocked the ball away under the interference of Vermaelen, and missed an excellent opportunity to score.

Belgium then launched a series of attacks, and Dembele broke the Chinese team's goal with his first shot.

The Alkmaar player is clearly better at scoring goals than his team-mate Golin.

After conceding the goal, the Chinese team launched a series of wing attacks, and Belgium began to defend and counterattack.

In the eighteenth minute, the Chinese team launched an offensive on the right side, Chen Tao crossed to the middle, Gao Lin's header ferried, Yang Yang quickly patted the horse to catch up, and calmly volleyed with his right foot, breaking through the Belgian goal and equalizing the score, 1-1.

After that, the situation fell into a stalemate, and no one could break through the opponent's goal, but Belgium's counterattack made the Chinese team very uncomfortable, and Feng Xiaoting and other players received yellow cards for defensive fouls.

After the rematch in the second half, the Chinese team only took three minutes to reverse the score.

Zhou Haibin sent a precise through ball in the middle, tearing apart the Belgian defense, Yang Yang slanted behind the defense line at the fastest speed, facing the old buddy Vermaelen, a beautiful emergency stop changed to cut inward, blocked the opponent with his body, and hit the goal with a right-footed arc ball, sending the ball into the upper right corner of the goal, two to one!

Scoring twice in two consecutive games and shaking off Vermaelen at the same time, Yang Yang is in quite good shape.

After being pulled up from the ground by him, Fermaren complained to him.

But just when the Chinese team was about to retreat, defender Tan Wangsong made a very irrational kicking action when the opponent had already passed the ball out during a scramble, and was directly red carded by the referee.

This time, the Chinese team will have one less person than the opponent.

Not long after, when the opponent counterattacked, Zheng Zhi made a tactical foul when he returned to the defense and was sent off again by the referee.

After several years of training in the Bundesliga, Zheng Zhi's overall strength is second only to Yang Yang in the team, and there are a lot of small moves in defense, but not too rough, but this time it is mainly because Zheng Zhi has no way to stop the opponent except for fouls.

With two red cards in a row, the Chinese team suffered a heavy blow, and Belgium quickly equalized and launched a frantic attack to try to reverse the situation.

The morale of the players on the field was low, but at the critical moment, Yang Yang used a chase to the penalty area in front of the goal to tackle the ball, so that everyone could see his fighting spirit, and then he got up from the ground and roared at his teammates, which ignited the blood of the fans in the stands, and also made the players in the team re-boost their morale.

Nine to eleven, the Chinese team can only retreat.

In the end, under the indiscriminate bombardment of Belgium, the Chinese team stubbornly held the score of 2-2.

……

In an interview with the media after the game, Yang Yang publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with his teammates, believing that it was a very irrational foul and should not have appeared on the court at all.

'We could have won but in the last 30 minutes we had to have two fewer opponents, which is a nightmare for any team and we have to reflect on why this happened!

Yang Yang's bombardment proved the annoyance in his heart.

He is not specifically targeting a teammate, but is questioning the brutality of the Chinese domestic league environment.

Kicks like that are not uncommon in the domestic league, but they shouldn't be on the pitch at all.

Yang Yang's accusation also quickly triggered questions from the domestic media and fans, and attracted the attention of all parties.

But in general, nine to eleven, China stubbornly held the score of 2-2 and got a draw, and the result was still satisfactory in the end.

…………

…………

Two red cards, multiple yellow cards, and when China played Brazil in the third game, there was an embarrassing situation in which four players were suspended.

On the other hand, the Brazilian team won the first two games steadily, especially in the second game, which defeated New Zealand 5-0 and won the first place in the group in advance.

But even so, Brazil still played the main game because they wanted to win the group.

Diego Alves, Raphinha, Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Anderson, Diego, Lucas Rewa, Ramirez, Diego, Ronaldinho, Pato, Sorbis, Jo......

In the face of the star-studded Brazil, the Chinese team, which lacks a major general, has no way at all, and the absence of many players such as Feng Xiaoting and Zheng Zhi has caused irreparable losses to the Chinese team, which is directly reflected in the game.

But although it is fully controlled, the Chinese team still shows a tenacious side, especially under the leadership of Yang Yang, the players on the field are extremely tenacious, even in the face of the super strength of Brazil, they have not backed down.

The Brazilians clearly did not give it their all, but rather closed the game, partly because China was the host, and partly because they had to prepare for the next knockout round.

Unexpectedly, in the fourteenth minute, Yang Yang used a beautiful left side to connect three people, tore apart the Brazilian team's defense, and got a direct free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area, which won full applause.

A minute later, Yang Yang broke through the Brazilian team's goal with a wonderful direct free kick and took the lead.

But just two minutes later, Brazil quickly seized the opportunity, Ronaldinho and Diego passed together in succession, Ronaldinho plugged through, Diego quickly inserted to form a single knife, low shot into the goal, equaliser.

Subsequently, the Chinese team fully retreated, and the Brazilian team pressed heavily and quickly reversed the score.

After that, the Chinese team never scored a goal, and the overall strength advantage of the Brazilian team was too obvious.

It wasn't until the 72nd minute of the second half that Brazil scored another goal to expand the score again, 3-1.

The score was maintained until the end of the game.

The Chinese team worked hard all over the field, but in the end their skills were inferior and had no choice but to lose.

Ronaldinho, Lucas Rewa and others also comforted Yang Yang after the game, and Yang Yang congratulated them very graciously, hoping that they can go further in the Olympics.

……

Although the Chinese team lost to Brazil 1-3, what they didn't expect was that Belgium did its best to defeat New Zealand 1-0 in the last game and failed to score more goals.

In this way, the Chinese team and Belgium both accumulated four points, but because the Chinese team defeated Belgium 4-1 in the first game, the total number of goals scored in the group stage reached seven goals and six goals conceded, Belgium scored a total of three goals and conceded three goals, so the Chinese team was slightly better than Belgium in terms of goal difference.

According to the rules of the group stage of the Olympic Games, the Chinese team and Belgium have the same points, but the Chinese team has a slight advantage in goal difference, so the Chinese team was able to qualify second in the group after Brazil.

It was an absolute bonus.

The media and fans are also very excited about this, and the national television station and authoritative party newspapers have commented on this windfall as the result of the unremitting efforts and the spirit of not giving up led by Yang Yang.

If it weren't for the tenacity against Belgium and the hard chase against Brazil, where would there be the winning goal difference?

…………

…………

Although the Chinese team narrowly got the right to qualify from the group by virtue of the advantage of goal difference, it encountered the Italian team, the favorite to win the championship, in the quarterfinals.

The team is also star-studded, with a number of European stars, including Juventus' Marchisio and Giovinco, Fiorentina's Montolivo and Villarreal striker Rossi, which makes Italy still very strong overall, and they even beat South Korea 3-0 in the group stage.

In the face of such a strong opponent, although the Chinese team did its best to play the main force and behaved very tenaciously, and even once when it was two goals behind, Yang Yang passed and shot, scored two goals in a row, and equalized the score again, but in the end it was unable to stop Italy's strong offensive and lost this key knockout game 2-3.

stopped in the quarterfinals and missed the semifinals, but the Chinese team showed a gratifying side.

Yang Yang is the banner and leader of this team, and his role is becoming more and more obvious, there is no need to say more, and the performance of several other foreign international players is getting better and better, but many domestic players are very disappointed.

Therefore, after being eliminated by Italy, domestic and foreign media and fans generally praised the performance of the Chinese team, believing that although the team's skills were inferior, they did their best in the end.

But at home, the discussion about encouraging players to go abroad, especially young players, has become more enthusiastic.

Because judging from the performance of this Olympic Games, the performance of the foreign international players is obviously much better than the players who stayed in China, and they fought together to win the World Youth Championship three years ago.

Although the team stopped in the quarterfinals, Yang Yang's performance was unanimously affirmed by domestic fans, and his reputation went to the next level.
