When the Asian Cup came to an end in a hustle and messy place, the Athens Olympics were about to debut.

Because the football event was fully launched before the opening of the Olympic Games, the national Olympic team must arrive in Athens earlier than other members of the Chinese Olympic delegation, and the Chinese women's football team will also enter the Athens Olympic Village with them. The men's football team and women's football team appeared at the Olympic Games together, which is the first time in Chinese football.

Since a series of training competitions in Europe just ended, the players looked a little tired. However, Qiu Suhui said to Chen Wei who was worried: "Don't worry, fatigue is a good thing now. The athletes' bodies are always between good and fatigue, just like a curve of rising and falling. Now these people are being beaten up by me and are in the most fatigued period of their bodies. However, when the competition begins, their physical fitness and state will gradually return to their peak, and this state will remain until the end of the Olympics."

However, not all members of the National Olympic Team have returned to the team, they lack a midfielder.

"Now everything is OK, just wait for Li Yongle to come back." Qiu Suhui clapped his hands.

Chen Wei pondered: "I really didn't expect that he would be attracted by Inter Milan."

"Haha! In addition to his own strength, Hua Fang is also very capable. After selling Yang Pan to AC Milan, he sold Li Yongle to Inter Milan. Some of them will be seen in the Milan derby in the future."

"Well, the Football Association has no objection. All these young players can be supported by the Football Association. Li Yongle does not have the domestic club to pull him back, so it will be much more convenient." Chen Wei also gave Qiu Suhui a reassurance. In fact, Li Yongle registered an amateur player in the Chinese Football Association because of participating in the college league, but where Li Yongle wants to play football, the Football Association has no right to stop anything. Chen Wei's words mainly wanted Qiu Suhui to know that in the future, the Football Association will support such players from the National Olympic Team.

Chen Wei knew that Li Yongle, who was not inferior to Yang Pan's training period in Europe, would leave sooner or later. But he didn't expect that once he went, he would be such a big wealthy family - Inter Milan. Although he was just going to be an apprentice.

The news was finally learned by the media when Li Yongle left the team midway and went to Milan, Italy with Huafang. Although there were many speculations about Li Yongle's whereabouts, and there were rumors about Inter Milan's love for Li Yongle, no one expected that on the day of the decision, it would be Inter Milan.

AC Milan, Inter Milan. These two names that were worshipped by countless Chinese fans were so closely linked to Chinese football in one summer. It all seemed like a dream.

As for our client, he had just come back from the fantastic reality. Inter Milan is interested in him, and he is also interested in Inter Milan. There should be no big problem with each other. However, the restriction on the number of places that Serie A is allowed to introduce only one non-EU player every year makes this matter a little trouble. However, under Huafang's handling, Li Yongle finally joined the Inter Milan youth team as an apprentice and participated in the Italian Youth League with the team. Although he is already the core of the midfield of the National Olympic Team, everything has to start over in Inter Milan, just like he just joined the National Olympic Team half a year ago.

"Isn't it just starting from scratch?" Li Yongle was so happy that he was able to train in the club he loved.

The two parties quickly signed a contract, but Inter Milan and Li Yongle only signed a one-year contract. In their words, if Li Yongle could not meet the club's requirements within one year, then there was naturally no need to renew the contract.

Huafang had some disagreements on this, but Li Yongle said to her: "A year is enough." He said it seriously, not a joke, nor was he looking for excuses to comfort Huafang. He just had absolute confidence in himself.

The news that such a person with absolute confidence joined Inter Milan as an apprentice has caused a big storm in China. Many people sighed: The rising star of Chinese football actually went to someone else to be an apprentice. Even if he just went to a downstream team in a second-rate European league to play the main player, it would be better than admiring this little vanity?

What a pity!

"Hey, Yang Pan and Li Yongle went to Inter Milan, and you are in AC Milan again. You will watch some of your two families' competitions in the future!" A group of people were dining in the restaurant in the Olympic Village. Because the Chinese delegation has not yet checked in, the restaurant does not provide Chinese food for the time being. Fortunately, during the training period in Europe, the players were used to Western food.

Yang Pan raised his head: "Yes, I'm looking forward to a fight with him. But this season should not be possible. He has to work hard to get to the first team, and I have to fight for a position."

"I really envy you!" Zhao Pengyu sighed. He can now gradually play some games in the Beijing team, which is a blessing for the All-Tou Olympic qualifiers. However, around the national Olympic team, there are people who have already played the main players abroad or are about to play football abroad, which makes him think of the outside world to gain a long experience.

As he was talking, Yang Pan's cell phone rang. He looked at the power meter, then got up and walked out, and connected the cell phone at the same time: "Hey, Sister Hua? What's the matter with me?"

Xiang Tao looked at Yang Pan's back as he left, and the food that had not moved a few bites on the table. "Big star is a big star, so busy that he couldn't even have a good meal-" He deliberately stretched his tone, and no one knew what he was thinking.

On the other hand, Wang Yu touched Xiang Tao: "How are you thinking about what Qiu Zhi said?" He refers to a Belgian club that Qiu Suhuituo found for Xiang Tao. Because Belgium does not have non-EU restrictions, and is close to the Netherlands, Germany and France, the three football powers, the level is not bad. It should be conducive to Xiang Tao's growth.

In fact, this time in Europe, Qiu Suhui not only trained the team. He arranged so many warm-up matches to show this brand new national Olympic team to European teams. So as the team's performance increased, it also attracted the attention of many club scouts. Many outstanding players have already contacted scouts with their agents. For those players who do not have agents, Qiu Suhui became a temporary agent, but this cannot last long. After all, he does not have a broker license recognized by FIFA, and many things are difficult to discuss, so he directly recommended these people to some clubs he has stayed in in the past. Of course, those clubs have guaranteed credibility and have the conditions to allow these children to grow.

Xiang Tao was recommended to a club in Belgium in this way. Speaking of which, this club is quite famous. Its name is Anderlecht. As a veteran Belgian strongman, the team has a long history and good traditions. As regulars in the European Champions League every year, they have many opportunities to compete with European giant teams. Another series of complete youth training systems and professional management make Qiu Suhui feel relieved about them.

But most importantly, as the head coach of the National Olympic Team, Qiu Suhui has been the head coach of the youth team here for a while. Anderlecht's current chairman Roger Vanden Stock and first-team head coach Hugo Broos have a good personal relationship with Qiu Suhui. Bros was also Qiu Suhui's assistant in the youth team.

With such a relationship, Qiu Suhui recommended Xiang Tao in the past and seemed to be relatively smooth. After all, there is also the successful experience of Korean Xue Qixuan here, and the club is also willing to accept Asian players with high quality and low price.

It is also worth mentioning that the most glorious years of Dutchman Ali Han, who is currently the head coach of the Chinese national team, was in Anderlecht's seven years, and he made Anderlecht into a team that the whole of Europe dare not underestimate.

In addition, the famous scenic spot in Brussels - China Pavilion. Anderlecht has a great fate in China.

Xiang Tao nodded: "If there was no accident, I would go to Belgium to check in and sign a contract after the Olympics, and start from the second team." The Sichuan Club did not make too much obstacles, but just kept a few symbolically and followed Xiang Tao. It seemed that the club really wanted Xiang Tao to leave.

"Okay! Then we will be teammates from now on! Please give me some advice!" Wang Yu shouted happily.

"Huh? Girl, you..."

"If there is no accident, I will also go to Belgium to check and sign a contract after the Olympics, and then start from the second team with you." Wang Yu said in Xiang Tao's tone just now.

"What? Why didn't Lao Qiu tell me?" Xiang Tao was surprised.

"Hehe! I won't let Qiu Zhi tell you, I want to give you a surprise!" Wang Yu said with a smile.

Xiang Tao thought, no wonder when Qiu Suhui told him about this, there was always something in his eyes that he couldn't figure out. It turned out that he suspected that there was an abnormal male relationship between him and the girl!

My god! Xiang Tao suddenly felt a chill.

"What? Go back to Bologna?" Yang Pan was a little surprised.

"Yes, AC Milan Club has reached an agreement with Bologna Club. As an AC Milan player, you will be loaned to Bologna until the end of this season." Huafang said to Yang Pan on the phone. While she was handling Li Yongle's affairs in Milan City, she also went to do something about Yang Pan. It seems that Mazoni values ​​Yang Pan very much. After Yang Pan switched to AC Milan, she still wanted to rent him back.

AC Milan also considers that Yang Pan is unable to play in Milan at the moment. As a team that has just won the league championship, the head coach will not easily change players unless it is particularly famous or strong. Obviously, Yang Pan cannot let Ancelotti use it with confidence, so it is better to let it go and exercise, just like Argentina's central defender Coloczini back then. The two clubs hit it off, and then Milan told Hua Fang that Hua Fang would confirm Yang Pan's opinion again.

"Don't you want to leave Milan?" Huafang saw that Yang Pan hadn't spoken for a long time, thinking that he was dissatisfied with being loaned out.

Yang Pan then came to his senses: "No, I'm very happy to go back."

Huafang did not notice that Yang Pan used "go back" instead of "go". He was stunned after hearing the news just now. He was not reluctant to leave Milan, but remembered every bit of it in Bologna, especially the Chinese restaurant.

"Oh, that's OK. Since you agree, I'll tell the clubs of both sides. You don't have to go back to Milan after the Olympics, just go to Bologna to report." After that, Hua Fang hung up the phone quickly, and it was obvious that she was very busy.

Yang Pan also put away the phone. Unexpectedly, he didn't even see what his teammates looked like in Milan, so he was about to leave Milan and return to Bologna. But this was fine, and I could see Yilan again. He smiled and turned around and walked back to the restaurant.

The Olympic football competition event should be the earliest event to start in the Olympics. When the Olympic delegations from many countries just entered the Olympic village, the football competition had already started in advance.

In the men's group game, the Chinese team was assigned to Group A, and was in the same group as hosts Greece, Mali and Mexico. In this group, Mexico's strength cannot be underestimated, and the host Greece is a major obstacle for the Chinese team to advance.

The situation of the other three groups is: Paraguay, Japan, Ghana, and Italy are in Group B; Argentina, Seychelles, Tunisia, and Australia are in Group C; Group D includes Costa Rica, Morocco, Iraq, and Portugal.

The top two teams in each group advance to the quarterfinals, and after a fight, the final title will be decided. Among all the participating teams, Argentina and Italy are the strongest, and they are the favorites to win gold. Portugal is slightly second, and is a team that is capable of competing for medals. After the top three are allocated, the remaining ranking is determined by the remaining teams based on their strength.

This is the opinion of many critics.

But this summer's dark horse whirlwind did not mean to let the Athens Olympics go.

In the women's football match held on the afternoon of August 11th on the first day of the game, the second-generation traditional team was once the world's second-class team, and also a glorious army that carries countless beautiful memories and expectations of Chinese fans. In the match against the German women's football team in the last World Cup champion, the Chinese women's football team, unexpectedly, was beaten into a sieve and had no power to fight back.

You should know that in the warm-up match between the two teams in the first Olympics, the Chinese women's football team defeated the new champion 1-0, which gave the Chinese people great confidence, believing that the Chinese women's football team's new and old replacement was finally completed successfully. Zhang Haibin and his players also played with an extremely relaxed mentality. But how could the German striker, the winner of the World Cup Golden Boots and Golden Ball Awards be worthy of fame? She scored four goals alone in the game, causing the former sonorous roses to wither overnight. Even the German reporters at the scene said to the Chinese reporter a little apologetically: "It's so miserable, how can you do this?" In fact, they don't need to apologize at all. If you fall behind, you will be beaten, which is inevitable. If you want to blame, you can only find the reason from yourself, instead of complaining about the Germans' hard-working efforts.

When the news that the Chinese women's football team lost 0:8 to Germany and reached the Chinese Olympic team's delegation headquarters, officials from all over the world couldn't help but shudder. As a result, the score was simply unheard of! Since its founding, Chinese football has never scored eight goals by their opponents. The most embarrassing thing about the Chinese men's football team was that they lost 0:6 to Barcelona in the first half of the year in European training, which was already considered a huge shame by the media. Some fans even asked that day be designated as a shame day for Chinese football. But unexpectedly, a few months later, the Chinese women's football team broke this shame record. 0:8. The fig leaf that the Chinese Football Association, which had been tried and tried, was torn into a full eight pieces. At this moment, everyone who caused this result was nailed to the pillar of shame.

Chen Wei received a notice from the superior that as the most popular men's football team in football, he should not be so embarrassed no matter what. Even if he loses, he must not surrender.

This news was immediately uploaded to the National Olympic Team, which undoubtedly made the already abnormal atmosphere in the team even more abnormal. Qiu Suhui was very annoyed that the "good things" done by the "officials". Every time he spent a lot of time to adjust the mentality of the players, those officials would definitely be flirting with their faces to make trouble. It seemed that these people were born to cause trouble for Chinese football.

But there are still two people in the team that do not belong to the vast majority. Yang Pan always looks expressionless in front of the media, so people cannot tell from his face whether he is nervous. But he himself knows that after experiencing Serie A, if there is anything that can make him tremble all over, it is just because of excitement, not nervousness.

As for the other person, you can use your butt to know who it is.

"Wow! Host! We actually played the opening game with the host!" Xiang Tao was shouting excitedly after seeing the result of the match.

"Hey, Xiang Tao. Are you not nervous to beat the host? Besides, this is our first time playing in the Olympics. And the boss has just issued a notice..." Lin Feng looked at Xiang Tao with some concern, afraid that he would become crazy when he smiled.

"Dan! Let those officials die! I'm not interested in paying attention to them! I'm just excited when I think of killing the turtle sons of the Greek team in front of Greek fans!" Xiang Tao was indeed very excited, as if he had taken ecstasy.

"I'm afraid they're going to kill you, an idiot." Li Suisheng snorted coldly from the side.

"What did you say, Lebanon?"

"Hey! Hold Xiang Tao quickly, otherwise the evening game will not start yet, and we will lose two main players first!"

"Don't interfere! Xiang Tao finally transformed once, how could he stop him?"

"Yes, yes, watch the show! I sell tea and melon seeds here!"

"Then I'm responsible for opening the market. I bet on Xiang Taoying raised my left hand and Li Suisheng raised my right hand!"

"Damn it! Girl, it's illegal to gather together to gambling. Do you know?"

"Hahaha!"

Qiu Suhui straightened his waist, then turned his head and shrugged at Chen Wei behind him: "You have heard it all? These kids... Haha! Don't worry too much. Maybe we will encounter some trouble, but it should be no problem to enter the quarterfinals. Let's go and have a drink of the last cup of coffee with me. The game is approaching."

Chen Wei looked back at the door. The people behind the door seemed to be having fun. He originally wanted to come and relieve them, but it seemed that he was over-concerned. However...

The team member named "Xiang Tao" is really unrestrained...

Crete, a famous tourist destination in southern Greece, is the location of the football venue for the Athens Olympics. The Herakrio Pancreterio Stadium is a bit difficult to pronounce. The Chinese team will open the Olympic men's football match with the host Greece here. Since the women's football team unexpectedly lost to the German team this afternoon, people naturally put all their attention on the men's football team, hoping that this time it will not be too shameful.

However, there are still many fans who have great hope for this national Olympic team. Just like in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, people always have fantasies about the Chinese team, but the final result is disappointing. Even Costa Rica, which is known as the weakest in the group stage, failed to win, which has caused many people's previous wishful thinking to lose.

So what about this national Olympic team?

"Greece's national team just won the European Cup and is now in a high spirit. The national Olympic team is also in a strong sense due to its influence. But this is their weakness, because they will underestimate the enemy. Yang Pan will be the one they pay the most attention to, and others will naturally be ignored by them, which gives us a chance. Li Yongle, after another trip, how are you in your condition?"

Li Yongle gave a thumbs up at Qiu Suhui who looked at him: "There is nothing better than now."

"It's great. The opponent doesn't understand us, but we don't know them well. This is an encounter. But no matter who the opponent is, it's enough to shoot out your own things like when training. In addition, I'll tell you a little more." Qiu Suhui said seriously. The players thought it was a very important thing, and they all stared at Qiu Suhui seriously, looking forward to his next sentence.

"Don't worry about the orders from the superior. Actually, they are farting."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Qiu Zhi used this move at a critical moment. Now they completely forgot about their opponents' situation, and their minds were full of the Football Association officials who were furious and fartted in the game.

※※※

When the players on both sides stood on the court and listened to the national anthem, someone recovered. He suddenly realized that he had stepped onto the Olympic stadium like this, which was not as complicated and sacred as before. It was usually like any ordinary game.

Yang Pan stood in front of the team with the captain's armband. He placed his right hand on the national flag on his left chest and looked up expressionlessly at the dazzling ceiling of Pancreterio Stadium.

"Tsk! I'm getting older and older, and I can't see any emotional changes in this kind of occasion!" Li Yan put down his telescope and sighed at Wang Hua beside him. "He is a natural material for being a captain."
To be continued...
