The Chinese Olympic team scored its first goal, drew its first game, and scored its first points in the Olympic Games. It quickly became the focus of domestic media reports the day after the game.
The heat even exceeded everyone’s speculation about how the torch will be lit at the opening ceremony of the Madrid Olympics. After this game, the Madrid Olympics has not actually opened yet.
Although the women's football team also beat its opponent 5:0 on the first day of the match, it is definitely not as popular as the men's football team.
On the one hand, it is commonplace for women's football teams to win, and it is not surprising to everyone. However, it is really surprising that men's football teams can perform like this in the Olympics, and naturally it is more likely to attract media attention.
On the other hand, men’s football has attracted more attention than women’s football.
Even though it was just a draw, looking at the media reports and the craze on the Internet, some people who do not follow Chinese football will definitely think that the Olympic team defeated Nigeria...
A draw can attract everyone's attention and praise, which shows how pitiful Chinese fans are.
Some fans have already shouted on the Internet, "I don't care what the results of the next two games are, as long as I have this game, this point, and these two goals, I am satisfied."
And it has been recognized and echoed by many people.

"In an Olympic men's football Group B match early this morning, the Chinese Olympic team finally drew with the Nigerian Olympic team 2:2 after a tough match. Among them, Chen Xingyi scored the Chinese Men's Football Team
The first goal in the history of the Olympic Games... Hu Lai's goal in the 76th minute helped the Chinese team finally get a point. This point was also the first point for the Chinese men's football team in the history of the Olympic Games...
"
Qin Lin looked up at the morning Olympic broadcast on the TV screen, which was playing highlights of that game.
Scenes of Hu Lai assisting Chen Xingyi to score, and Chen Xingyi leaking the ball to Hu Lai to score were shown one by one.
“Wow, that’s amazing!” Qin Qi, who was also watching TV, exclaimed. “That’s the first goal in the history of the Olympic Games! Dad, they are even better than you!”
Qin Lin glared at him: "Eat quickly, eat and go to school."
Qin Qi quickly lowered his head and drank the porridge while snoring.
Qin Lin, on the other hand, continued to watch the TV. The game highlights had finished broadcasting, and the screen switched back to the studio rented by CCTV in Madrid. The host was discussing with the guests this game of great significance to Chinese football.
But Qin Lin didn't hear a word of what they said.
His thoughts returned to twelve years ago, when he stood on the court. In the last game of the Chinese Olympic team, they had lost two consecutive losses and had actually lost the qualification to qualify. The team's goal in the last game had been downgraded.
It became trying to score a goal.
He shouted loudly on the court to encourage the players to cheer up.
But no one in the team responded to his call, and the two-goal deficit seemed to destroy their fighting spirit.
It’s just two goals behind...
At the 68th minute, Qin Lin was substituted.
After he was replaced, he walked straight back to the locker room without even shaking hands with the then head coach of the Olympic team, Kim Chi-bae. When he passed by a bottle of mineral water, he kicked it away with all his strength.
This scene frightened many people and became one of the main reasons why Qin Lin was criticized by the media and fans after the game.
He believes that as the oldest and most experienced veteran player in the team, he did not play a correct role model and passed his anxiety to the players on the field, making the players feel overwhelmed and the team's loss.
One of the reasons for the competition…
Some people therefore believe that he engaged in gangsterism within the Olympic team, became a ball tyrant, took the lead in disobeying orders, and had a bad relationship with the Olympic team coach Jin Jibae, which eventually led to the team falling apart and completely losing its combat effectiveness.
In short, before that Olympic team, Qin Lin, the best player in Chinese domestic football, received a lot of expectations after joining the Olympic team as an over-age player. Then how much infamy he got after the Olympics.
The Olympics have therefore become an indelible stain on Qin Lin’s career. At the same time, it has become a past event that he does not want to recall too much, and it has been buried deep in his memory intentionally or unintentionally.
Today, when he saw these energetic young people running in the game against Nigeria, Qin Lin couldn't help but feel envious. If there were such a group of young people around me, we might have created something twelve years in advance.
The history of Chinese football, right?

After breakfast, his wife drove his son to school, while Qin Lin rested in the house until he heard a car horn from outside.
Just then, I picked up my sports bag that I had packed a long time ago and walked out of the yard.
Xia Xiaoyu and Zhang Qinghuan’s car was waiting for him at the door of his house.
After Hu Lai and the others left, Zhang Qinghuan offered to go to training and home with Qin Lin every day. Anyway, there were only three of us and one car was enough. There was no need to increase unnecessary carbon emissions.
Qin Lin agreed.
So now he goes to training every day in the electric car Zhang Qinghuan bought.
When Qin Lin got into the car, Xia Xiaoyu and Zhang Qinghuan were still discussing the Olympic Games.
I heard Xia Xiaoyu asking Zhang Qinghuan: "Brother Huan, Brother Hu and Brother Chen have both scored goals. Do you regret not going to the Olympics now?"
Zhang Qinghuan snorted: "What's the regret? It's just a goal in the Olympics, what's so big about it? Let me tell you Xiaoyu, my goal is to score in the World Cup finals!"
After saying that, the two of them saw Brother Lin sitting in and quickly said hello: "Hello, Brother Lin!"
Qin Lin nodded, still thinking about what Zhang Qinghuan just said.
Scoring a goal in the World Cup finals?
This means they have to reach the World Cup finals first!
but……
Qin Lin thought again and felt that this group of young people might actually help Chinese football reach the World Cup.
It’s just that it will have nothing to do with me at that time.
If I had been surrounded by such a group of young players, the Chinese team's appearance in the World Cup finals might have been realized long ago...
Qin Lin felt a little depressed when he thought of this.
For the first time, he wished that he could be ten years younger and continue to run on the green field with these young people.
Xia Xiaoyu and Zhang Qinghuan, who were sitting in front, both noticed that Qin Lin was somewhat silent after getting in the car, and they confirmed this with each other's eyes.
Zhang Qinghuan gestured with his eyes to Xia Xiaoyu to ask what was going on, and Xia Xiaoyu responded with his eyes that he wanted to ask you!
Zhang Qinghuan didn’t ask.
Just kidding, who knows why Brother Lin is in such a low mood today?
What if it’s because the couple’s life with my sister-in-law was not harmonious last night?
Wouldn’t it make everyone embarrassed by asking this question?
Don’t ask, don’t ask, even if you beat me to death, don’t ask.
But Zhang Qinghuan didn't ask. Qin Lin, who was sitting behind him, took the initiative to speak: "Qinghuan, I've written down what you just said for you. If you really participate in the World Cup, I'll be waiting to see you score.
.”
Zhang Qinghuan:???
Xia Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing.
“No, Brother Lin... I’m just bragging, there’s no need for this, right?” Zhang Qinghuan cried out amidst Xia Xiaoyu’s laughter.
Qin Lin said seriously: "Your idea is wrong, Qing Huan. How can this be just a boast?"
“I haven’t even participated in the World Cup...” Zhang Qinghuan defended.
“So Hu Lai was still claiming to win the World Cup? Do you think he was just bragging?”
Zhang Qinghuan wanted to say "yes", but he realized that Qin Lin was discussing a very serious topic with him, and it was not suitable to treat it with such a joking mentality. He frowned and thought about it seriously, and had to admit that Hu
Lai's stubbornness on some things is very scary.
The latest proof is his revenge on Wang Xianke.
Last year after the Football Association Cup final, he said he wanted to see Wang Xianke play once and for all. At that time, whether it was on the Internet or in the media, many people didn't take his words seriously and thought he was just talking.
The result? In almost half a year, Hu Lai really managed to see Wang Xianke and beat him one at a time.
In three consecutive matches with Dashun Golden Arrow, Hu Lai scored in all of them and helped Flash Star win a complete victory. In the last game, he even risked being kicked out of his eyes and scored with a header. You must know that at that time
Flashing Star actually won, and Hu Lai had already scored a goal, so he didn't need to work so hard.
He wants to prove to the world that what he has said must be fulfilled, and what he has boasted must also be realized.
"We all know that Hu Lai is very prosperous now. As a young player, he has even achieved many achievements that 30-year-old players have never been able to achieve. When the outside world talks about the reasons for Hu Lai's success, they always simply say that he is
He is a 'genius'. But as someone who has been with him day and night, do you think he is just talented? Isn't his belief in working hard to realize all the things he has boasted about the reason why he can make progress?"
Listening to Qin Lin's words, the smile on Xia Xiaoyu's face gradually disappeared while driving.
He suddenly thought that after hearing Brother Hu say that he wanted to go to Europe, he just made excuses and reasons for why he couldn't go to Europe, but he didn't think about how he was going to Europe at all.
He suddenly realized that this might be the biggest difference between himself and Brother Hu.
Some people always think about “what should I do”, while some people always think about “I can’t do it”.
Seeing that both of them fell silent, Qin Lin sighed: "You guys hang out with Hu Lai all day long, so don't just look at him and act mean. It's just his disguise, used to hide his true ambition. He can go to Europe.
, you still have to go, regardless of any specific difficulties, you are still young, only by going out to see a broader stage can you grow. Let me tell you, Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi and Wang Guangwei participated in the Olympics this time
When I come back, I will definitely make great progress."
Zhang Qinghuan thought for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "But Brother Lin, what will happen to the team if we all leave?"
Qin Lin chuckled: "Is this a problem you should consider? Isn't that a matter for Director Zhao?"

Zhao Kangming sneezed, which made Chen Mo next to him nervous: "Don't catch a cold... Did you stay up late to watch football yesterday?"
Zhao Kangming smiled: "I saw it, but I didn't catch a cold. My nose suddenly felt a little itchy. Lao Chen, Hu Lai and the others performed really well yesterday."
“That’s good, but in this way, their chances of being favored by European teams will also increase.”
"Just take your fancy. Chen Xingyi is not from our team. I can't decide where he will go. After this season, if a European team wants Hu Lai, I won't stop him. If he wants to go, let him go."
He goes." Zhao Kangming said.
“You are so willing to give up. What will happen to our team if he leaves?”
"Let's talk about it when the time comes. You can't just keep him in the country for this reason, right? Let me tell you, Lao Chen, if you don't want to be Hu Lai's enemy, then don't embarrass him on this matter. Otherwise...
You still remember Wang Xianke, right?"
Chen Mo waved his hand quickly: "I didn't say I was going to stop him and not let him go out. Anyway, you are the head coach. When Hu Lai leaves, you will be the one who worries about the replacement, not me. You have the final say."
Zhao Kangming smiled without caring: "There must be a road for cars to reach the mountain, and for boats to reach the bridge. We will talk about it when the time comes. The important thing is that there must always be someone holding a torch in the dark to explore the way ahead."
Chen Mo understood what he meant: "If Hu Lai can go out, will he be the one holding a torch to explore the way?"
“Yes.” Zhao Kangming nodded. “He is the one who breaks the darkness.”
