Chapter 478: The troubles of happiness (big chapter)(1/2)
The addition of Wu Jie has made the "men's basketball event" one of the most watched events in this Olympics. But if it can surpass the women's basketball game in terms of ratings and attention, it will only be 50-50 in Asia at least.
open.
If it is in Japan and South Korea, the women's basketball team will still attract more attention than the men's basketball team. Who makes the old perverts always pay more attention to appearance? How can the men's basketball team be as good-looking as the women's basketball team's goblins?
ah!
Today's women's basketball game has attracted strong attention from fans all over Asia. This is the only event where the Chinese delegation does not need to worry about referee factors. Who made Wang Xiaoqian the number one goddess in Asia selected by South Korea for three consecutive years?
.
This is not a selection limited to the sports circle, but a selection for all Asian women. This shows how lethal the top big-faced guys are to the big guys.
However, the Chinese women's basketball team not only has Wang Xiaoqian as the front man, Wu Ying and Xia Lin are both the key to breaking the influence of the women's basketball team.
Wu Ying obviously inherited the family lineage. She is full of heroism and beauty, especially her eyes are sharp and murderous. She already has a strong "attacking sister" aura at a young age.
Xia Lin's appearance is also very distinctive. She has a hint of fairy spirit and a proud and independent temperament, which is very recognizable even when she is standing next to Wang Xiaoqian and Wu Ying.
The men's football team was originally a little dissatisfied that their game was scheduled in the afternoon, but when they saw that the women's basketball game was scheduled for prime time in the evening, these dissatisfaction immediately turned into happiness.
If it really crashes with the women's basketball game, even more than half of the national football fans will rebel and switch channels on the spot. After all, they are just the Olympic team!
A total of 16 football teams have entered the Olympic finals this year. They will be divided into four groups for a round-robin group stage. The top two teams in each group will advance to the quarter-finals.
In the Asia-Pacific region, apart from the host South Korea, only China and Australia advanced to the finals. After Iraq lost to the United States in the play-offs and lost its spot in the Olympics, it is said that the entire team is still being educated in prison by the prince.
.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese team's "Group of Death" BUFF seems to have failed this time. The Group A they are in is neither strong nor weak. The other three teams are Tunisia, Germany, and Sweden.
But if you think about it carefully, is it really the BUFF that has expired?
If we look at the Chinese team as the top seeded team in the men's football event of this Olympics from the perspective of a large number of neutral fans, whoever is grouped with them seems to be called the "Group of Death", because meeting the Chinese team represents death.
If you don’t believe me, ask those 15 teams to see who wants to be grouped with the Chinese team?
Today, the Chinese team's first opponent is the Swedish Olympic team. Countless Chinese fans have said: Swedish football is a rotten fish, I have never heard of it, okay?
Chinese fans were not even as interested in this opponent before the game as they were in the changes to the points rules for this Olympics.
In the football event of this Olympic Games, the points rules for the group stage were changed to +3 points for a win, +1 point for a draw, and no points for a loss.
This scoring rule of winning +3 points obviously encourages aggressiveness. Teams that are too conservative may be eliminated even if they get two draws and one loss. This will undoubtedly make the pace of the game more intense.
The goal of the Chinese Olympic team is naturally to qualify with three wins in the group, even if there is West Germany in the same group.
Nowadays, the words "guaranteing a tie and competing for victory" are no longer seen in Chinese football regardless of age group. Especially after winning the first "Hercules Cup", all echelons of Chinese football have become more and more advocating offense.
, the original utilitarianism and conservatism that had to be pursued in order to reach the top of the World Cup were naturally gradually abandoned.
In the past two years, the national football teams in China still emphasize teamwork, and their chain defense continues to evolve, but the overall style of play is obviously more gorgeous.
This magnificence is not only reflected in the sharpness of the offense, but also in the players' increasingly better skills, and they are even more aggressive in defense.
Now their defensive chain is more often about swinging forward in an oppressive manner, rather than passively contracting to deal with it in the past. This is also a manifestation of greater confidence.
There is no pressure on the Chinese Olympic team, so they will naturally play more proactively. This can also be seen from the lineup. Today they fielded an aggressive 4-3-3 formation.
Frontcourt: Yang Shuhua (87, 20 years old, 183m), Wu Sheng (83, 18 years old, 192m), Ma Mingyu (79, 18 years old, 176m).
Midfielder: Ren Zhihui (88, 21 years old, 174m), Zhou Haowen (82, 17 years old, 178m), Wang Yuanlin (87, 19 years old, 179m)
Backcourt: Jiang Wei (85, 22 years old, 175m), Zheng Guohong (86, 20 years old, 183m), Mao Xiuquan (83, 18 years old, 186m), Wang Zhenjie (78, 18 years old, 180m)
Goalkeeper: Gong Li (81, 20 years old, 179m)
Chinese fans only care about their own players, and they are not very interested in the Swedish team.
But in fact, Swedish football has always been a strong team in the world in the 1970s. However, the biggest disadvantage of such a small European country in sports is instability. Often a group of outstanding players emerge in a certain period, and the football strength of the entire country can jump.
Become a strong team in the world; but if you are unlucky, there are not many outstanding players at a certain period, or other small European countries have a talent explosion, then they can only remain dormant for a period of time.
The rise and fall of Swedish football is a set of standard rules. It was great in the 1930s, but became quiet in the 1940s; it became strong again in the 1950s, but fell into despair again in the 1960s; it became great again in the 1970s, but then fell into decline again in the 1980s.
No more...
The ups and downs are so regular. Is it no surprise that there will be another rise in the 1990s?
Swedish football at its original level did indeed rise again in the 1990s. This time they even reached the semi-finals in the 1994 World Cup.
Of course Wu Jie knows that Swedish football is about to rise again, and in a few years most of the Swedish golden generation will make their debut, and now they are basically playing for Sweden's U19 or U23.
In other words, the Swedish Olympic team in front of us is actually the third-place team that scored the most goals in the World Cup six years later.
This little-known Swedish team is actually a dark horse capable of winning the championship!
But compared to the Chinese Olympic team that he quickly built using his system, the whole world is naturally optimistic that they can annihilate the Swedish team.
Chinese players also have the same view. Their team is basically the main force in the five major European leagues. Many of them have established a firm foothold in wealthy teams and are even core players in wealthy teams. The worst is that they have been eliminated by the five major European leagues.
The focus of inspection by league teams.
Many of their names are familiar to European fans and even fans around the world, so the Chinese team really doesn't take the Swedes seriously.
"Swedish football? Never heard of it!"
Wang Yuanlin was already thinking about how to turn the right corridor into a private garden before the game. He, a newly minted member of the Serie A champion and the right winger of the truly wealthy AC Milan, is now one of the top ten wing stars in Serie A. Or is he?
One of the youngest.
Not only Milan fans have high hopes for him, but all the giant teams in Europe have listed him as one of the best candidates for the right forward. The Swedish Olympic team in front of them is probably not as good as him combined.
A person's worth is high.
Yang Shuhua didn't take the Swedish team to heart either. His worth is even higher than Wang Yuanlin's. With two consecutive years of Ligue 1 Golden Boot scorer and two consecutive years of 30+ goals in Ligue 1, he is already a
The top forwards that top teams across Europe are rushing to buy, and many teams have even offered him more than five million US dollars.
In addition to these two world-class stars, the Chinese team also has wealthy stars/players such as Ren Zhihui, Wu Sheng, Zheng Guohong, Zhou Haowen, and Mao Xiuquan. This strength on paper is so strong that it makes Swedish fans despair.
Before the game, Macau's betting syndicate basically gave Sweden a two-goal handicap, which shows that even professionals have unlimited confidence in the Chinese team.
However, with such an overwhelming lineup, once the game started, it was a back-and-forth situation?
The Swedes really couldn't stop Wang Yuanlin's breakthrough on the right, but the problem was that although he could break in, under the Swedes' stubborn resistance, it was always difficult to get comfortable shooting or passing opportunities, and he always missed the goal.
One step away.
Yang Shuhua's performance was also a little off. His sense of smell in front of the goal was still outstanding, and his movement was also very smart. He posed a threat in the penalty area several times in the first 30 minutes of the first half.
But today, like Wang Yuanlin, he lacked some patience. Regardless of the timing of shooting, especially the handling before shooting, it always felt a bit too casual.
These two people had a strong presence from the beginning of the game, and the Swedish defense really looked overwhelmed by the attacks of these two people.
But the problem is that they made a lot of noise, but they couldn't score a goal.
"These two are here to perform, not to compete!"
Lin Yaodong snorted. He could naturally see that Wang Yuanlin and Yang Shuhua were not in the rhythm of the game. They were more like playing in an exhibition match, but the Swedish team on the opposite side was working hard.
"Don't you always play like this yourself?"
Chen Haonan didn't want to give Brother Dong face, so he directly started a fight in the family communication group.
But as Lin Yaodong said, the playing style of these two people was not quite right today, and the overall rhythm of the Chinese team also felt like they were fighting independently.
After the first 30 minutes of the first half, many fans discovered that although the Swedish team looked precarious on the defensive end, they were able to hold on to the final bottom line with their tough style of play.
The most surprising thing is on the offensive end. Although the Swedish team had a lower ball possession rate than the Chinese team today, they pressed forward aggressively whenever they had the opportunity. Their open-and-close style of play, coupled with the skills of these players, is quite impressive.
The young Swedish player actually brought out the power of total offense and total defense.
At this time, looking at the statistics, the Swedish team actually only took one fewer shot than the Chinese team, and even threatened the Chinese team's goal through counterattacks several times.
If the back line of Zheng Guohong and Mao Xiuquan hadn't been reliable enough, constantly wiping the butts of their frontcourt teammates, and Gong Li also performed well in front of the goal, the Chinese team might have been beaten first by this little-known opponent.
City.
But apart from seeing some personal breakthrough performances, this performance without scoring has made Chinese fans begin to feel dissatisfied.
However, many people released this dissatisfaction into the backcourt. Although Zheng Guohong and Mao Xiuquan repeatedly resolved dangers, they were somewhat embarrassed in the process!
Wang Yuanlin and Yang Shuhua did have a lot of individual performances, so a large number of Chinese fans who listened to the football more than watched it complained about the performance of the defenders.
Of course Wu Jie knew that they had brought Chinese football to a position far beyond what Chinese fans could see, but he still didn't expect that these two people would actually take the blame. Otherwise, he would definitely cry out for them, because the opponents they had to deal with were not weak at all.
The two forwards of the Swedish team today, Martin Dachlin and Kennet Anderson, will both be forward players who can stand in the peak period of Serie A in the future.
That young attacking midfielder Thomas Brolin will become one of the top five attacking midfielders in Serie A in the future, and has been shortlisted for the top ten of the Golden Globe Award several times.
With such an iron triangle in the Chinese team's three-midfield formation without a midfielder, Zheng Guohong and Mao Xiu can defend it well. It is understandable that they were a little embarrassed in the process. They don't have dream training to cheat, and their age
It's almost the same as the opponent, but it's unusual for the defensive side to be able to overwhelm him.
Zhou Haowen has always been unhappy because he, as the midfield commander, does not have enough prestige in this team. Wang Yuanlin, Yang Shuhua, and Ren Zhihui only treat him as their younger brother, and no one listens to his orders at all.
This made his performance in the midfield completely suppressed by Thomas Brolin, who made the Chinese team's offense basically launch from two wings. It is difficult for him, a midfielder, to get the ball and organize the offense according to his own ideas.
, after all, even Wu Sheng is used as a tool man, rather than as the core of tactics like Bayern.
Wu Jie naturally saw something was wrong. The current Olympic team has too many stars, but no one can convince the crowd, especially those players who are used to seeing big scenes and have already won Grand Slam honors at a young age.
Everyone is self-centered and wants to be the big brother when there is no tiger in the mountain. Naturally, the result is that they work independently and cannot bring out the strength of each star.
On this basis, today's Chinese team still has some elements of underestimating the enemy. Those big brothers don't take the opponent seriously. They really think that they can solve the problem on their own.
But you must know that in the original position, this Swedish Olympic team defeated West Germany and advanced to the first place in the group. In the end, if it had not encountered the Italian team in the semi-finals, whose overall strength and style of play were suppressed, it might have been a disaster.
