As Han Sen expected, after the news of the Chinese Olympic team's semi-finals was broadcast, almost the entire domestic public opinion and media applauded one-sidedly, without any slander or criticism of the Chinese Olympic team. The Chinese Football Association previously set the men's top eight and the women's Jihua, and now the men's football team still has a chance to hit the medals, and the women's football team was eliminated 2-0 by Japan in the quarterfinals.

In the other three major events, the Chinese men's basketball team led by Yao Ming fought bravely when they were assigned to the group of death, and finally scored in the top eight for two consecutive Olympic Games, and the women's basketball team entered the semifinals again after 16 years. In volleyball, as the defending champion of the last Olympic Games, the journey of the Chinese women's volleyball team in this Olympic Games can be described as twists and turns, and was finally swept by Brazil 3-0 in the semifinals; And the men's volleyball team also withstood the pressure and reached the quarterfinals.

In such a comparison, the Chinese men's football team, which has always been used as a stepping stone, also occupies an advantage in the comparison of the three major balls, and is on an equal footing with China's traditional advantage women's basketball team and women's volleyball team. Tan Wangsong maliciously hurt people's shame. Many media even called for the Chinese men's football team to win medals this time, in terms of the great contribution made by this Olympic Games, they should enjoy the same treatment as Olympic champions after the Olympic Games. The most obvious thing is. During the Olympic Games, from the first match of the group stage, the men's football team dominated all competitions in the same period. The two matches of the group qualification and the semi-finals were continuously broadcast by CCTV's "News Network", and after Han Sen's victory over Italy, facing 80,000 viewers, the image of the back of No. 13 holding his thumb high has long been edited and has become one of the opening shots of the daily highlights of the Olympic Games.

However, despite the high level of media attention, it has also received rave reviews. It wasn't until the defeat in the final that the craze for men's football that had been set off since the beginning of the Olympics finally subsided, after all, it had suffered a painful defeat. Moreover, there is no hope of gold and silver medals, and facing Brazil again, the hope of a bronze medal is also very slim. Now more people are looking forward to the Chinese Olympic team being able to put down the medal ending theory. It is to take a good summary of the gains and losses of this Olympic Games. So as to ensure that this successful experience and successful model can be preserved and bring benefits to future Chinese football.

On the morning of the second day after the semi-finals, Su Maozhen went door-to-door to notify each room to meet in the hotel conference room.

"Meeting today?" Dong Fangzhuo went from the national youth to the National Olympics, how can he have more experience in the national brand than Han Sen, "Could it be that the summary meeting will be held today, and the game will be disbanded after the day after tomorrow?" ”

Han Sen also got up from the bed and put on his shoes: "It doesn't matter what kind of meeting he has, even if he has a knife now, he doesn't feel anything about me." ”

Sure enough, as Dong Fangzhuo said. This time it was another typical conference with Chinese characteristics, and the two came to the conference room with the large army. A group of leaders had already sat in the front row of the rostrum, and Yin Tiesheng, Wang Yiming and others sat at the end of the rostrum, beckoning the team members to take their seats quickly.

Xie Yalong saw everyone sitting still, coughed: "Comrades have arrived, we will hold a relatively brief meeting today to convey the important spirit of some superiors, and now we will first welcome Liu Peng, director of the General Administration of Sports and head of the Chinese delegation to the Beijing Olympic Games, to make a special trip from Beijing to attend our meeting and give us an important speech." ”

A thin and tall middle-aged man in the middle stood up and bowed to everyone in the applause of all the National Olympic team members, and then sat down and said with a smile: "I don't dare to say an important speech, but I did come from Beijing with a heavy trust, and I also hope to be able to transfer it to our National Olympic team members as soon as possible." ”

Han Sen was thinking about what kind of trust Liu Peng had to run from Beijing to Shanghai to pass on, Liu Peng had already taken out a stack of manuscript paper and cleared his throat: "Yesterday, before the semi-finals, our president, the prime minister, the State General Administration of Sports, the Communist Youth League, the All-China Youth Federation, the All-China Federation of Students, etc., all called or called the Chinese men's national football team to express warm congratulations and cordial condolences to us, and praised us for being the pride of the Chinese people. Let me convey that the Chairman called our delegation last evening, and he praised the tenacious fighting spirit we showed in the next competition, and believed that we will do our best to strive for a good result in the next competition. He said that we believe that you will do your best to strive for the results of the haode. Regardless of the outcome of Zuihou, the people of the motherland will warmly welcome your triumphant return and celebrate your achievements. ”

Liu Peng really brought the highest instructions, and the names he said were all at the level of big brother, and the coaching staff didn't know who deliberately shouted a good word, and then everyone applauded, not knowing who to congratulate for themselves or for whom!

Liu Peng waved his hand: "The prime minister called the delegation early this morning. He said that the Chinese Olympic men's football team entered the semi-finals of this Olympic Games, achieving another breakthrough in the history of Chinese football. He expressed warm congratulations and cordial condolences to the National Olympic team! He expressed the hope that the national Olympic team will conscientiously sum up its experience, make persistent efforts, and make new contributions to the improvement of China's sports level and the development of sports. ”

The players have learned to be well-behaved now, and they don't need to be shouted by the coaching staff, they all learn to applaud themselves.

Liu Peng also smiled: "Next is a congratulatory message from our General Administration of Sports, the national Olympic team in the 29th Beijing Olympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention, was not afraid of strong opponents, dared to fight, overcame many difficulties, and finally advanced to the semi-finals, achieved a new breakthrough in the history of Chinese football development, won honor for the motherland, and successfully completed the task of participating in the competition." We extend our warm congratulations to all of you! ”

There was another round of applause, and the following congratulatory letter was brief, the Communist Youth League, the All-China Youth Federation, and the All-China Federation of Students, probably all of which had similar meanings, all warmly congratulating the National Olympic Team on entering the final four, praising the National Olympic Team as the pride of the Chinese people and an example for Chinese young people to learn.

"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening." After Liu Peng conveyed the congratulatory letter, Xie Yalong also shook his head and said, "For more than ten years, our coaches, athletes and staff have trained hard, worked hard, been willing to be poor, willing to be lonely, regardless of remuneration, fame and fortune, for the take-off of Chinese football, for the honor of the motherland and the people, we have paid sweat and tears, and we have paid for the youth of generation after generation. Today's achievements are not accidental, but a process of gradual accumulation and growth. ”

Dong Fangzhuo whispered next to Han Sen: "Actually, I think it's quite awkward, why did we send congratulatory messages before the semi-finals, do you know that we are out of play in the semi-finals?" ”

Han Sen whispered: "After all, entering the semifinals is equivalent to playing all the games, and it can be regarded as going to Zuihou, but it is very likely that you will not get a medal in the semi-finals, so sending a congratulatory message early now can be regarded as a summary for us in advance." ”

Xie Yalong also chewed the words on the stage: "Our Director Liu Peng also took time out of his busy schedule to come to Shanghai, and he will rush back to Beijing in a while, we thank Director Liu again for coming, and applaud and farewell." ”

Liu Peng came and went in a hurry, rushing from Beijing to Shanghai, that is, in order to read these supreme instructions, seeing Xie Yalong and Nan Yong send Liu Peng and his party out of the door, Yin Tiesheng also said to the team members happily: "Don't worry, the leader is gone, and we will have a meeting." ”

Yin Tiesheng opened his notebook as he spoke: "The day after tomorrow is a Zuihou competition, everyone just heard it, and the leaders have affirmed our achievements and sent congratulatory messages, which are the results of our joint efforts." As a team, in addition to the results, the most important thing is our spirit of unity and friendship, so today we have a short meeting to discuss a thing, that is, how we should arrange the lineup for a game.
