Fox in the Penalty Area

"Aha! It's finally my turn to play! If I don't play, I'll catch a cold, throw it away!"

Lin Zhiyuan stood at the gate of the Hongfengling training base and shouted excitedly.

The South China Tigers teammates who came with him are far away from him...

As the main goalkeeper of the South China Tigers, Lin Zhiyuan came to the Olympic team for training nearly two months in advance, which will inevitably affect his status in the club.

But Lin Zhiyuan doesn't think about that at all now.

He was thinking about going to Europe through his Olympic performances.

The main position of the domestic club is gone.

In fact, at Lin Zhiyuan's age, he is a suitable-age player for this national Olympic team. If he hadn't already participated in an Olympic Games, he would not need to occupy the over-age player quota now.

And when he was only 18 years old, he was able to participate in the Olympic Games as the main goalkeeper of the national Olympic team, which indeed shows his strength.

It's just that because of the particularity of the goalkeeper's position, he has been unable to go abroad for a long time. He can only watch Hu Lai, Zhou Zijing, and Xia Xiaoyu each have their own splendor abroad.

However, before he set off for the Olympic team this time, his agent Uncle Qiu told him that the communication with Westin Athletic had made key progress-Westin Athletic seriously considered the possibility of introducing himself. All he has to do is show enough convincing performance in the Olympics to get himself a better promise at Westin Athletic. At least get a chance to compete with Westin Athletic's current first-team goalkeeper Pierre Groche.

While Lin Zhiyuan was standing at the gate of the Hongfengling training base, looking forward to a bright future, he heard a dismal voice:

"Fuck, Lin Zhiyuan, why are you here?"

Lin Zhiyuan turned around and saw Hu Lai's disgusting face. He gritted his teeth and said, "I lost! Why can't I be here? Like you, I'm also one of the overage players!"

Hu Lai showed a surprised expression.

Lin Zhiyuan pointed at him: "What kind of expression do you have!"

Hu Lai suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered, you seem to be an overage player... Oh, Xiao Linzi, you haven't played for too long, I almost forgot, I'm sorry!"

Facing Hu Lai's strange yin and yang anger, Lin Zhiyuan laughed and laughed twice.

As for Ou Yangjin and the others who followed Hu Lai and Xia Xiaoyu to Hongfengling to report, they all looked at each other when they saw Hu Lai and the national team's main goalkeeper passionately facing each other:

Is this also "pure" that Brother Xiaoyu said?

When the players of the Chinese Olympic team flew to the capital to prepare for the battle, the second "China Cup" had already ended all competitions.

The Chinese national team without Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, Lin Zhiyuan, Xia Xiaoyu and Zhou Zijing lost 1:2 to the Croatian national team in the first round of the semifinals.

The title defense failed.

Fortunately, they defeated the Senegalese national team 1:0 in the third and fourth finals, and finally did not rank at the bottom of their home court.

The champion of this "China Cup" belongs to the Croatian national team, who defeated the Costa Rica national team 3-0 in the final. It can be regarded as a kind of consolation and compensation for their failure to participate in the European Cup.

The attendance rate of the "China Cup" is actually good. The two games with the Chinese team are basically full.

In the absence of the Chinese team's game, the Chinese fans have also fully demonstrated their high-quality host side, and enthusiastically cheered on the participating parties, making them feel at home.

The "China Cup" kicked off the football journey of Chinese fans this summer:

Next to the "China Cup" is the European Cup.

In fact, before the "China Cup" is over, the European Cup has already started.

At this time it is in full swing.

This is a feast for countless Chinese fans.

But to say that Chinese fans are most concerned about, I am afraid it is not the European Cup this summer, but the Olympic Games starting in early August.

It stands to reason that in the football world, the influence and gold content of the Olympic football project are absolutely not comparable to the European Cup.

Only the World Cup can beat the European Championship.

Chinese fans in the past also viewed the Olympics in the same way - if the Olympics and the European Championships clashed, they would definitely choose the European Championships without hesitation.

Although the European Cup is a football match that takes place in distant Europe, there are countless Chinese fans who voluntarily become fans of those European national teams, and their mood fluctuates as they win or lose.

Now things have changed.

The European Cup is also very exciting, but it is the Olympic Games that can really touch the hearts of Chinese fans.

Because the Chinese Olympic team participated.

And not just there.

This session of the Chinese Olympic team also has a few more super-aged players.

This is the second time that the Chinese Olympic team has participated in the Olympic Games in a row. Unlike the one four years ago, people will naturally place more hopes on them.

Four years ago, the Chinese Olympic team was placed in the group of death, and it was the first time in 2012 that it participated in the Olympic Games after a lapse of 12 years, so people actually dare not hold the team's achievements. What to expect.

For many fans, it is already a great victory for the Chinese Olympic team to appear in the main games of the Olympic Games.

What more bike do you want?

But this time, the national Olympic team once again entered the Olympic Games, which shows that their team itself is strong, otherwise they might not even have tickets for the Olympic Games.

On this basis, there are three more powerful over-age players, so how can Chinese fans still have no expectations for this team's Olympic trip?

You must know that in the last Olympic Games, the national Olympic team did not bring a single over-age player.

Today, although the Chinese Olympic team has fewer Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai and Wang Guangwei than the team four years ago, it also has more Xia Xiaoyu and Zhou Zijing. These two Olympic-aged players actually already have the strength of the national team. . And both of them have been trained in Europe.

Four years ago, the Olympic team did not have a single overseas player.

Some people once said that the Olympic team four years ago was the golden generation of Chinese football. In fact, the strength of the Olympic team four years later is not bad.

In addition to Xia Xiaoyu and Zhou Zijing, the addition of three overage players, Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan and Lin Zhiyuan, greatly increased the team's strength and experience.

The rest of the players also came to the stage after the reform of Chinese football, and their growth environment is better than the group of people four years ago.

Since there are so many favorable conditions, Chinese fans have high hopes for them, which is logical and reasonable.

As for whether this high expectation will bring them huge psychological pressure, become a burden, and affect their performance...

As Chinese professional players, if they can't even handle such psychological pressure, then they should just give up their status as professional players.

"...you have to be clear, to be a professional player in this country is to be accompanied by constant pressure."

At the training site of the National Olympic Team, head coach Mai Zhaocheng is holding a meeting for all the players of the National Olympic Team.

On the first day of the team's assembly, before training began, the first thing to do is to have a meeting to unify thoughts.

Only by unifying their minds can the players know why they are fighting in the next training and preparations, so that they can generate subjective initiative.

Mai Zhaocheng believes that subjective initiative is very important, and the ideological construction of the team is very important, so he discussed with the team leader Ran Jiachang. After the team gathers, the team will have a unified thinking and clearly tell them that the team's goal in this Olympics is to what.

After the goal is established, everyone will train and prepare for the battle around this goal.

Unlike general coaches who try to decompress the players by all means, Mai Zhaocheng does not take the usual path. As soon as he comes up, he will tell everyone straight to the point that their Olympic team will be under enormous pressure this year.

Because everyone has high hopes for them.

"...As a Chinese player, it is natural to bear the attention of tens of millions of Chinese fans and hundreds of millions of Chinese people. Because we all know that football has an extraordinary position in Chinese society. If we do not perform well, we will There are countless people who scold us, even if those people don't watch football at all... We have to accept this reality. So don't think about any issues that are not too stressful. Representing a country with a population of 1.4 billion is not an issue. Easy things."

"After fully understanding this, let's talk about the goals of the team in this Olympics. I don't think anyone thinks that we can win as long as we can participate in the Olympics this time, right?"

After Mak Zhaocheng finished speaking, he looked around the team members in the conference room.

And then found that no one looked surprised at his statement.

That's fine.

It seems that after participating in the Olympic Games and World Cup in a row, and a large number of overseas players began to emerge, Chinese players are generally much more motivated than before, and they don't really feel that they can participate in the Olympic Games.

"I'm very frank with you, we set a minimum goal for this Olympic Games~www.readwn.com~ and a maximum goal. Then all our training programs are formulated according to the maximum goal. So even if we do not finish The highest goal should also be better than the lowest goal. Our lowest goal is to qualify for the group.”

Saying this minimum goal, the team members still did not respond.

It means that no one in the whole team thinks that they can't make it out of the group - with the La Liga Golden Boot, the Champions League Golden Boot Hu Lai, as well as Zhang Qinghuan, Lin Zhiyuan, Xia Xiaoyu, Zhou Zijing and other powerful teammates at the national team level, the results of this grouping will also be Much better than it was four years ago, so getting out of the group really shouldn't be a goal to discuss.

Mai Zhaocheng saw that everyone was still very calm, and finally made his ambitions public:

"The highest goal is to win a medal."

The conference room was quiet for a second or two, maybe everyone finally realized what the coach said just now, and they all started to riot!
