The Chinese Olympic football team had the most high hopes from the Chinese people before the game, even more so than Liu Changchun and Yang Xiuqiong.
In later generations of the Chinese national football team, when selecting national team members, the officials above had the final say. It was even difficult for even the head coach to make the decision.
But this time the selection is all based on personal strength. As long as you are Chinese, you can be admitted, including those overseas Chinese athletes. The selection slogan at the time was: "No matter whether domestic or overseas, no matter whether they are novices or veterans, all Chinese football players must strive to be the best."
The network is exhaustive. We hope to form a powerful force that gathers the best from across the country and add glory to the Chinese nation."
There are a total of 30 players in the preliminary list of the football team. These players first came to Hong Kong to participate in the Hong Kong Football League. They then invited the British Navy and British Army teams stationed in Hong Kong to play 3 exchange games each, allowing the 30 preliminary players to take turns.
, and the selection committee will conduct on-site observation and evaluation.
Finally, an official list of 22 people was selected, including 13 people from the South China Association, 2 people from the China Association, 2 people from the Donghua Association, 2 people from the Youyou Association, and 3 people from overseas Chinese.
Historically, the Chinese football team only played two games in the Olympic Games. In the first game of the group stage, they met England, which was the strongest team at the time; in the second game of the group stage, they met Germany, which was the strongest team at the time.
The team can be said to be assigned to the group of death.
In the game against England, the first half was tied 0-0. In the second half, the Chinese team was exhausted and its defense collapsed. The final score was 0-2.
Not to mention the match against Germany, which was baptized by the Nazi referee's black whistle throughout the entire game and was scored 0-2.
Judging from the total group stage scores, the Chinese team ranked 12th with a total of 16 teams participating.
Because Zhou Hexuan provided sufficient funds, the physical fitness and training of the Chinese football team were perfectly guaranteed. The results of the group stage this time were much better than in history: 1-2 against England, 2-3 against Germany, and then
It's against Denmark.
Judging from the current points of the Chinese team, they can only hope to qualify if they get 5 more goal differences, and they can only tie with Germany with 4 goal differences.
There is no way, the British team is too strong, the German team is too good at black whistle, and the Danish team has become a point-scoring existence for everyone.
At this time, the Danish team is not the "red explosive", it is simply weak and scum. In the previous game, Britain defeated Denmark 6-0, Germany defeated 5-2, and China must defeat 5-0 or more if they want to qualify.
.
The game was about to start. Yan Chengkun, the head coach of the football team, said encouragingly: "Well, everyone, play hard and strive to qualify! Huitang, you come to set up the troops and I will be the logistics commander for everyone."
Twenty-two Chinese players collectively gave the coach speechless and contemptuous looks.
As we said before, Yan Chengkun is an excellent company manager, a senior football fan, and a director of a football club, but he has never served as a football coach. This time he came to Europe purely for tourism.
Captain Li Huitang took the initiative to take over the coaching responsibility, clapped his hands and said: "This time we are fighting against the odds and must get a goal difference of more than 5. According to the established plan, we will attack with all our strength in the first half and choose defense in the second half depending on the situation. Defeat Denmark."
If you win 2-0, you will lose. If you win 3-0, you will lose. If you win 4-0, you will still lose. You must win 5-0! China will win!"
"China will win!" the team members shouted in unison.
Zhou Hexuan was surprised to find that the Chinese team deployed 5 forwards, 3 midfielders and only 2 defenders as soon as they came on the field. This was really a fight against the odds.
Perhaps because of the last game of the group stage, the Danish team had already been beaten by England and Germany. This game was just a formality. Their fighting was very inactive, and even the passes were slow. Just after the middle
Not far from the field, the ball was intercepted by Malaysian overseas Chinese Lin Zhiquan.
After Lin Zhiquan received the ball, he immediately passed it to Hong Kong player Liang Rongzhao. Liang Rongzhao dribbled the ball several meters away, and before the Dane got close, he passed it to Javanese overseas Chinese Li Yuxin. The moment Li Yuxin received the ball, Guangdong player Ye Beihua and Hong Kong player Li Huitang ran at the same time.
.
Li Huitang received the ball and passed two people, and quickly passed the ball to Ye Beihua. Ye Beihua attracted two defenders of the opponent, ran with the ball, and suddenly knocked the ball with his heel and passed it back to Shanghai player Jia Youliang.
Jia Youliang suddenly kicked the ball out, and the ball fell into the empty Danish backcourt. Hong Kong player Feng Jingxiang, known as the "magic leg", quickly surpassed a Danish defender to catch the ball, and went straight into the Danish team's goal.
"brush!"
The ball went in.
The Danish goalkeeper was obviously out of shape. Perhaps he was fooled by the British and Germans in the first two group matches. When he saw Feng Jingxiang raising his foot, he immediately pounced to the left. Feng Jingxiang retracted his fake move and easily passed the ball.
Kicked into the right corner of the net.
Only 3 minutes into the game, the Chinese team took the lead in scoring.
"brush!"
"brush!"
By the 31st minute of the game, the Chinese team had already scored 3-0.
The Danish players finally woke up from their collective sleepwalking. They felt extremely angry. Even if they lost to England and Germany by big scores, they were actually scored three goals by Asians. This is so intolerable!
The Danish coach immediately asked for a substitution and roared at the players for a long time on the sidelines. When the game started again, the Danish players became extremely active and committed more and more fouls. The most disgusting thing was that several white referees turned a blind eye to various minor fouls.
When Li Huitang was knocked down by two Danish players, only one of them received a warning.
Zhou Hexuan's face became extremely ugly. Cheating in swimming was an opportunity to exploit loopholes. As long as he drilled it well and within seconds, Zhou Hexuan would only admire the other party's wisdom. But the black whistle was too abominable and was a violation of the rules with brutal violence.
"Click!"
There was a crisp sound on the field, and forward Ye Beihua's calf was tackled.
When Ye Beihua was carried off the field by the staff, the referee walked to the middle of the field and pointed, indicating to the Chinese players to kick off from here.
Since red and yellow cards were not used in football at this time, Zhou Hexuan did not know the result of the penalty until the game continued. There was no penalty kick, no penalty kick, not even a free kick. He just warned the Danish players, and then
Gave the Chinese team a frontcourt ball.
"Black whistle!" Zhou Hexuan yelled angrily in English.
Not only Zhou Hexuan, more than 100,000 spectators also booed, and all kinds of debris were thrown towards the stadium.
"Long live China!"
"China will win!"
The Chinese present were shouting and cheering crazily.
Even many European spectators have now become Chinese fans. They shouted: "Come on, Chinese team, kill the Danish bastard!"
The Chinese team has made substitutions, but its morale is much lower than before. Li Huitang shouted with red eyes: "Don't be afraid of injuries, be more courageous! Counting the goalkeeper, we have 22 people. Even if 21 of our feet are kicked off, we will only lose 21 of them."
We can still fight with only one person left! Score two more goals and we will qualify. Come on, win!"
"victory!"
"victory!"
The Chinese players were excited, hugging each other and shouting wildly.
Looking at the Chinese players who were pressing hard regardless of their own safety, Zhou Hexuan rubbed his eyes and felt like there was sand in his eyes.
