When the football fell into the goal of the Mexican Olympic team with a parabola, in the view of commentator He Ping, it was simply the most beautiful arc in the world, as if a rainbow passed through the horizon.

"The Chinese team took the lead in scoring! We are ahead!"

His excited voice was transmitted to thousands of households in China through satellite messages. This game was kicked off at 9:30 pm Beijing time, which was the prime time for watching TV, so many fans watched this game. There were even many spectators who were not fans. Because this is the Olympic Games, every event will attract many enthusiasts who are not the event to watch. These games are related to one word - national honor.

Although the Olympics are for faster, faster and stronger, and for sports spirit, in fact, the Olympics are a battlefield without gunpowder. When various countries compare their lengths through the Olympics, the countries that win will naturally smile. No matter how much the loser says "the focus is on participation", they will feel uncomfortable.

Sports and politics are combined in the Olympics as if they were the original couple, and they are inseparable.

Chinese football has always been a representative of weakness and incompetence, which makes many Chinese people feel like they can't raise their heads when they talk about football.

The last Olympics was held in Beijing. The Chinese Olympic team can enter the main competition without passing the qualifiers. However, the performance of the National Olympic team in the Olympics made many Chinese fans feel that it is better to stipulate that the host must also participate in the qualifiers to enter the main competition, because in that case, the National Olympic team will not have to embarrass the Olympics...

If the National Olympic Team had not been joined by the Five Little Dragons, it would definitely not have appeared in London. Before the first game of the National Olympic Team, Chinese fans had a very complicated feeling about this team. On the one hand, they had high hopes for the Five Little Dragons and hoped that the five of them could lead the team to perform well in the Olympics. They were looking forward to it. On the other hand, they were worried that the stubborn problems of Chinese football would lead to the Five Little Dragons being powerless. If even the Five Little Dragons cannot help Chinese football achieve good results, who else can we expect?

Now seeing this goal, the concerns in many people's hearts have been greatly alleviated.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi turned around and ran to Wu Lei who passed the ball to him, and also greeted He Ying and other teammates to come and celebrate.

He did this on purpose, using this method to unite the entire team to avoid the division and barriers between the Five Little Dragons and others. Because the most popular team in this team is of course the five overseas players, but if they are too popular, what will others think?

Although everyone seems to have a good relationship now, as long as this kind of class difference exists, it will inevitably leave a hidden danger within the team.

Although Zhou Yi is not the captain of this team, he is willing to keep the team united from the overall situation. Even if a team that is not united is extremely powerful, he will not win the championship.

All the Chinese Olympic team players on the court rushed to celebrate the goal, even goalkeeper Sun Pan was no exception.

This is the team's first goal in the Olympics, which is particularly memorable.

"Zhou Yi scored the first goal of this Olympic Games for the National Olympic Team. This was the first appearance of the Chinese Olympic delegation at the London Olympics. It was a perfect start!" He Ping said happily at the scene. "A textbook-like defensive counterattack made the Mexican defenders not react at all! When Zhou Yi completed the goal, most of the players of the Mexican National Olympic Team had just returned to their half..."

Before the game, Chinese media knew that the Chinese team's tactic was defensive counterattack. No one raised any objections to this. As long as you can win, it doesn't matter what tactic it plays.

However, before scoring the goal, everyone was somewhat worried when they watched the Chinese team being bombarded by the opponent in the half.

Defensive counterattacks are based on not conceding the ball. If you concede the ball, it will be all over.

Fortunately, the performance of the Chinese team this time is reassuring. First, it withstood the opponent's bombardment on defense, and secondly, it is very efficient when fighting counterattacks.

After conceding the ball, the Mexican National Olympic Team naturally could not accept such a result. They launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal.

But this is exactly what the Chinese team that plays defensive counterattack hopes to see.

So Mexico attacked fiercely and the Chinese team fought back.

After a while, Mexico also discovered the embarrassing situation they are facing now - if they continue to attack so wildly, they may have been expanded by the Chinese team before they equalized the score.

If I were two goals behind in the first half, I would have no choice but to play in this game.

So before the end of the first half, the Mexican Olympic team had to slow down the pace. Once they slowed down the pace, the Chinese team also slowed down the pace. Even if the ball was at their feet, they were not in a hurry to pass it forward, and they fell back and forth in the middle and backcourt, and time was consumed in this kind of back-and-forth.

When the first half ended, many people were even surprised - the first half ended?

When they were over, Zhou Yi and Yang Muge walked down the court while talking and laughing. Not only them, but also the other Chinese players had relatively relaxed expressions on their faces.

He Ping exclaimed when he saw this scene: "The young men of the National Olympic Team performed very easily, that's right. Although it was an Olympic game, to put it bluntly, it was just an ordinary 90-minute football match. Don't have too much burden, you can get good results when you go into the game lightly. Keep it going!"

If the Chinese team can defeat the Mexican National Olympic Team, the most powerful opponent in this group, in He Ping's view, the minimum goal of the Chinese team qualifying in the group will be completed.

Of course, he hopes that his country's team can go further in the World Championships, as the better. As a football commentator, this means that he can explain more games of the national Olympic team. Even if he is not a football commentator, but a pure Chinese fan, he will hope so.

In the locker room, Brazevic did not praise the Chinese team's performance in the first half. He still warned the players with a serious face: "...There are still 45 minutes left in the game, and everything is possible. So don't think that we can definitely win the game if we lead by one goal now. In the next game, you must concentrate and not make mistakes."

"Remember, there are many accidents in football games, but there is a necessary foundation behind every seemingly accidental thing. If you are complacent because of one goal, it will inevitably lead to retribution."

On the other side, Mexico's head coach Turner is making personnel adjustments. During the break, he will use a substitution and replace forward Peralta with Dos Santos.

In fact, in the Mexican National Olympic Team, the biggest star is definitely not Javier Aquino, who has been selected for the top ten new stars, but Dos Santos.

Dos Santos' full name is Giovani Dos Santos Ramirez, and he became famous very early.

In 2002, he entered Barcelona's youth training camp with his younger brother Hornasan Dos Santos and was recruited into Barcelona's first team for the first time in 2006.

A year later, he was recruited by Rijcard again to the Barcelona first team in the roster for the pre-season training. After this training camp, he eventually stayed in the first team and became a member of the Barcelona first team.

Because of his technical style and coquettish braids are very similar to Barcelona's superstar Ronaldinho at that time, so Dos Santos was called "Ronaldinho II" by the media. Fans have high hopes for him and hope that he can inherit Ronaldinho's mantle in Barcelona. Everyone is optimistic about his future development.

But who would have thought that Ronaldinho II's career did not develop smoothly.

He only played in the first team of Barcelona for one season before being sold to Tottenham Hotspur. He failed to play as the main player at Tottenham Hotspur and was loaned out one after another, and his performance was also unsatisfactory.

Now when the Mexican National Olympic Team encounters difficulties in the game, head coach Turner finally thought of such a once famous genius sitting on the bench.

Although Dos Santos is no longer regarded as "Ronaldinho II", he is still an outstanding player for Olympic level competitions.
