Chapter 648: The End and Beginning of the Era

The Chinese Olympic team defeated the Belgian Olympic team 2-0 at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center, which means that they came out of the group one round earlier and entered the quarterfinals, but it was a little regrettable that they were relegated to second place because of a goal difference.

If the quarterfinals start according to this ranking, then the Chinese Olympic team will face the Italian Olympic team, which is ranked first in Group D, which is not a good opponent.

Compared with the strong Italy, Cameroon, which is still slightly weaker, is a little easier to deal with.

Dujkovic shook his head, he felt that he was still thinking a little too far, because according to the task given to him by the Chinese XX Football Association, it was 'to protect eight and fight for four', and now the task has been completed.

At the end of the game, Dujkovic walked over with a smile and shook hands with the head coach of the Belgian Olympic team, Wiesger.

And at this moment, there is still a huge chant over the court, which has never stopped.

Iro, who scored one goal and provided one assist in the game, was once again named Man of the Match, and he was the object of the crowd's chanting.

As the captain of the national Olympic team, Iroh led the national Olympic team to the quarterfinals of this Olympic Games ahead of schedule, which is completely historic, even if every step is history, but in their impression, as long as Iroh does not fall, then the progress will continue, perhaps...... It's not impossible to claim that glittering gold medal.

"Elo Elo Elo ......"

The incessant chanting in the stands forced Elo, who was interviewed by the media, to raise his head frequently and wave in response to the enthusiastic fans.

Qi Liuhai, a reporter from "Football News" who is already very familiar with Ailuo, asked in the final stage: "The fans at the scene are so enthusiastic, did they think of leading the National Olympic team to the highest podium?" ”

Hearing this, Iroh instinctively repeated: "Top podium? ”

Qi Liuhai's problem was originally a joke, although this national Olympic team looks very strong, but the experience of international competitions is obviously not enough, it is not impossible to win the gold medal in the Olympic Games, but the difficulty coefficient must be very high, what he didn't expect was that Ai Luo really considered this possibility.

After about five seconds, Iroh wiped the sleek short hair up with his right hand before he said firmly: "I never participated in the competition to be the runner-up!" ”

Although there was no such thing as being on the podium, the reporters present all felt the kind of domineering that was self-evident.

Indeed, which of the competitions that Iroh has participated in over the years has not been for the championship?

Otherwise, he would not have won the championship that countless players have dreamed of all their lives at the age of 22.

Former club Valencia and now Chelsea have won numerous desired trophies thanks to Arrow's efforts.

So...... The Chinese Olympic team, perhaps, ...... It will really be on the top podium under the leadership of Iro!

It is worth mentioning that that night, fireworks were lit in many noisy cities, and at this moment, there was no city ban on fireworks at all, only the carnival of ordinary fans for the results of the national Olympic team!

The next day, in addition to reporting on how many medals China won on the second day of the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese mainstream media gave a large amount of coverage to the Chinese Olympic team.

In particular, the two major football newspapers, "Football Daily" and "Sports Daily", from the cover to the end, are reporting on the Chinese Olympic team's yesterday's achievements and future aspirations, which makes basketball fans who subscribe to "Sports Daily" depressed, because ...... There was no report on the men's basketball team at all.

The headline in Football Newspaper was the exact words of the uncut version of Ielloh: I play a game, never for the runner-up!

"The Chinese Olympic team defeated the Belgian Olympic team 2:0 at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center last night, thus winning two consecutive wins in the group and qualifying ahead of schedule, which means that we have set a new record! Reach the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games!! On such a festive day, Iroh also gave an exclusive interview to my newspaper, and when asked about his final expectations for the national Olympic team, after a little hesitation, he replied that 'I don't compete for the runner-up!' 'There wasn't a direct climb to the top, but if we look back at his career over the past few years, we will see the results......

“…… From Valencia, he struggled every second of every game, and the result was La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Cup, the Spanish Super Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the Champions League, the Community Shield, the Premier League, the League Cup, the FA Cup...... A series of team honors are based on his personal efforts, so we have reason and basis to believe that the World Footballer of the Year Ailo will lead us to open up a new era and create a new dynasty of Chinese football! ”

"From this moment on, we are on our way to the top of the podium...... Advance! ”

Countless Chinese fans watched the latest report of "Football News", and their blood was boiling!

At the same time, it is accompanied by all kinds of eyebrows!

You must know that the Olympic teams of the other three countries that also represent Asia have not yet won, and there is only a theoretical possibility of advancing to the final quarterfinals, so to speak...... The Chinese Olympic team not only gives itself a long face, but also gives Asian football a long face.

This is very beneficial for Chinese football in the future of Asian football.

※※※

When the "Football Newspaper" was selling well, the head coach of the national Olympic team, Dujkovic, had a brief meeting with Ayro.

Thoughts on the third round of the group stage.

The current situation in Group C is as follows: Brazil, who won both games in the group stage, are at the top of the table with six goal difference, while the Chinese Olympic team is second with a goal difference.

According to Dujkovic's meaning, the third round of the group stage is regarded as training, because the third day of the third round of the group is the quarter-finals, and for the sake of the players' physical fitness, it is necessary to make reasonable use of the players.

And the reason for looking for Iroh is to ask him what he thinks.

"You're the manager, of course the organization of the game as you see it, but ...... I want to be able to play. "Iroh agrees with Dujkovic in principle, but he wants to fight and doesn't want to miss a game.

Dujkovic nodded, adding another point to Ailo's favorability, knowing how to respect the manager, and also knowing how to increase his status in the team, he is a footballer with high emotional intelligence!

No wonder...... At the age of 22, you can win an honor that countless players can't dream of.

On August 13, the first place in the gold medal list of the Beijing Olympics was the host Chinese team, ranking first with 12 golds, 5 silvers and 5 bronzes.

In the afternoon and evening of this day, the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center, Beijing Gongti, Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Center and Shanghai Stadium will play the final round of the group stage of the 29th Olympic Football Tournament, which means that all the teams that will advance to the quarterfinals will be decided.

In order to ensure the fairness of the game, the same group of matches is played at the same time.

The four matches that kicked off at 5 p.m. were Group B and Group D, with the Netherlands 1:0 Japan and Nigeria 2:1 the United States; South Korea 1:0 Honduras, Cameroon 0:0 Italy.

Although South Korea won the first match of the Beijing Olympics, they had no choice but to let Italy release Cameroon and join the latter in qualifying, and the Netherlands and Nigeria qualified for Group B.

Group C, where the Chinese Olympic team is located, kicks off at 7:45 p.m., at the same time as the other three games.

In fact, before the game, many fans thought that the Group C match had become a garbage time game, and the hosts China Olympic team and Brazil Olympic team had already won the first two rounds of the group stage and qualified early, and the last game was just to determine the team that won the group.

But for the Chinese Olympic team, it is better to win this game, otherwise they will have to face the strong Italian Olympic team.

Thereupon...... Under the prediction of many experts, the Chinese Olympic team will definitely do its best to win the first place in the group!

It was only after the starting list came out that those so-called experts realized ...... Thinking too much about yourself.

In addition to Ailuo, Feng Xiaoting, and Zhao Xuri, all other positions are substitute players, and even the goalkeeper has been replaced by the second goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong.

Before the start of the Chinese Olympic team and the Brazilian Olympic team, there is a small tidbit.

The captain of the Brazilian Olympic team is Ronaldinho, and the captain of the Chinese Olympic team is Elo, the two used to stand opposite each other in the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 seasons for the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League...... The two are on opposite sides to start the game on behalf of their respective countries.

"Come on, Ai!"

"Come on Moreira!"

The two saluted first and then soldiers when picking sides, shook hands and embraced.

This scene has also become one of the images captured by the on-site media!

Because the World Footballer of the Year in 2004 and 2005 was Ronaldinho, and the World Footballer of the Year in 2006 and 2007 was Elo.

The hug between the two is also seen by many as the end of an era and the beginning of an era.

However, for Iro, the current Ronaldinho is no longer the Ronaldinho of the past.

Now his figure has been out of shape, his eight-pack abs have vaguely degenerated into fat, and he is only 28 years old this year, and his body has gone downhill.

After the start of the game, although Ronaldinho was still smart and chic, he did not do much under Zhao Xuri's close defense.

This is also a style of play that many technical players hate, as long as they are closely defended by defenders with excellent physical qualities, it is basically difficult to rely on individual ability to get rid of it.

Of course, Ronaldinho, who is at his peak with speed and power, has no problem at all, but now he is no longer in his prime.

"Zhao Xuri's schedule for the first fifteen minutes of this game was quite good, and former World Footballer Ronaldinho didn't get a chance under his strict defense! As for organizing an effective attack, don't count on it......" Liu Jianhong said with a smile as he watched Ronaldinho choose to pass the ball back again.
