Don't give shame to the Chinese people!

This sentence seems simple, but it is not easy to do it. Novel.

Yang Yang’s understanding of this is that his strength can be inferior to others and he can lose a game, but he must have a clear conscience and do his best.

In the second game of the group stage, against European powerhouse Belgium, the Chinese team faced such a dilemma.

Belgium lost to Brazil in the first game by zero to one. The main central defender Kompani and the midfield core Fellaini both received red cards. Both will miss the game against the Chinese team, which is definitely a big benefit for the Chinese team.

But even so, the overall strength of the Chinese team is still not as good as that of Belgium.

This is not something Yang Yang can make up for alone.

Thomas Fermuren and Demur are both in the current Belgian Olympic team. Even if Fellaini and Kompany are suspended, there are still Belgian younger players such as Van Denborre, Miraras, Dembele, and Dembele, and their overall strength is still quite good.

Chen Tao has been playing for Anderlecht, Belgium. He has a deep understanding of the strength of Belgian players. He told his teammates before the game that Belgium has vigorously developed youth training in recent years, and the overall strength of young players is very outstanding. I hope the whole team will pay attention to it.

The game was still held in Shenyang. After the opening, the Chinese team launched a series of attacks.

Belgium was very afraid of Yang Yang and specially arranged two players to freeze him. Fermuren obviously had no intention of showing mercy to his friends.

The first shot at the opening game was, Zhao Xuri passed the ball to the left in the middle, and Yang Yang made a cross to the goal with his left foot. Gao Lin directly knocked the ball away under the interference of Fermulen, missing an excellent chance to score.

Then Belgium launched a series of offensives, and Dembele scored the Chinese team's first shot.

This player who plays for Alkmaar is obviously better than his teammate Gao Lin in terms of goal scoring efficiency.

After conceding the ball, the Chinese team launched a continuous wing attack, and Belgium began to defend and counterattack.

In the 18th minute, the Chinese team launched an offensive from the right, Chen Tao made a cross to the middle, Gao Lin headed the ball, Yang Yang quickly caught up, calmly shot with his right foot, broke through the Belgian goal, tied the score, one-to-one.

After that, the situation fell into a stalemate and no one could break through the opponent's goal, but Belgium's counterattack made the Chinese team very uncomfortable. Feng Xiaoting and other players were all given yellow cards for defensive fouls.

After the second half of the game, the Chinese team reversed the score in just three minutes.

Zhou Haibin sent an accurate straight pass ball in the middle and tore open the Belgian defense line. Yang Yang inserted the defense line diagonally at the fastest speed. Facing his old buddy Fermall, a beautiful emergency stop turned inward and blocked the opponent with his body. He shot the ball with his right foot and sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal, two to one!

Yang Yang was in a very good condition by scoring twice in two consecutive games and knocking down Fermall.

After Fermuren was pulled up from the ground by him, he complained to him.

But just when the Chinese team was about to retreat, defender Tan Wangsong made a very irrational kick when the opponent had already passed the ball, and was sent off by the referee directly by the red card.

This time, the Chinese team will have one less person than their opponents.

Not long afterwards, when Zheng Zhi returned to defense, he made a tactical foul while returning to defense and was sent off by the referee again with a red card.

After several years of Bundesliga training, Zheng Zhi's overall strength is second only to Yang Yang in the team. He has many small moves when defending, but not too rough. But this time it is mainly because Zheng Zhi has no way to stop his opponent except for fouls.

With two consecutive red cards, the Chinese team suffered a tragic blow, and Belgium quickly equalized the score and launched a crazy attack to try to reverse the situation.

The players on the court seemed to be sluggish, but at the critical moment, Yang Yang used a return to chase the penalty area in front of the goal and fell to the ground to tackle the ball, allowing everyone to see his fighting spirit. Then he got up from the ground and roared at his teammates, igniting the bloodiness of the fans in the stands, and at the same time, the players in the team regained their morale.

In nine-match eleven, the Chinese team had to retreat.

In the end, under the bombardment of Belgium, the Chinese team tenaciously held the score of 2-2.

...

In an interview with the media after the game, Yang Yang publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with his teammates, believing that it was a very irrational foul and should not appear on the court at all.

"We could have won, but in the last thirty minutes, we had to lose two fewer people than our opponents. This is a nightmare for any team, and we have to reflect on why this is the case!"

Yang Yang's bombardment proved his anger.

He is not targeting a teammate specifically, but questioning the rough and unconventional environment of China's domestic league.

Similar to the flying kicking action, it is not uncommon in domestic leagues, but this should not appear on the court at all.

Yang Yang's accusations also quickly aroused the questioning of domestic media and fans, and attracted the attention of all parties.

But in general, China stubbornly defended the 2-2 score against 11, and got a draw, but the result was still satisfactory.

…………

…………

With two red cards and multiple yellow cards, when China played against Brazil in the third game, four players were suspended.

On the other hand, Brazil won steadily in the first two games, especially in the second game, which beat New Zealand five to zero, and won the first place in the group ahead of schedule.

But even so, the Brazilian team still sent all the main players in this game because they wanted to be the first in the group.

Diego Alves, Rafinia, Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Anderson, Diego, Lucasreva, Ramirez, Diego, Ronaldinho, Pato, Sobis, Jo...

Faced with Brazil, the Chinese team lacking soldiers and the lack of soldiers has no choice. The absence of Feng Xiaoting and Zheng Zhi and other players has caused irreparable losses to the Chinese team, which is directly reflected in the game.

But although it was fully restrained, the Chinese team still showed a tenacious side, especially under the leadership of Yang Yang, the players on the court were extremely tenacious, and even facing Brazil, which had super strong strength, they did not give in.

The Brazilian team obviously did not do their best, but instead kept playing, on the one hand because China is the host, and on the other hand, they want to prepare for the next knockout round.

But unexpectedly, in the 14th minute, Yang Yang used a beautiful left-wing three players to tear open the Brazilian team's defense line and got a direct free kick opportunity right in front of the penalty area, winning a lot of applause.

One minute later, Yang Yang scored a wonderful direct free kick and broke the Brazilian team's goal and took the lead.

But just two minutes later, the Brazilian team quickly seized the opportunity. After Ronaldinho and Diego passed and cooperated continuously, Ronaldinho made a straight pass, Diego quickly inserted into the game to form a single shot, scored a low shot, and equalized the score.

Subsequently, the Chinese team retreated completely, and Brazil pushed forward with a big push and quickly reversed the score.

After that, the Chinese team never scored a goal, and the overall strength advantage of Brazil was too obvious.

Until the 72nd minute of the second half, Brazil won another goal and expanded the score again, three to one.

The score was finally maintained to the end of the game.

The Chinese team fought hard all over the game, but in the end the skills were not as good as others and they had no choice but to lose.

Ronaldinho, Lucasreva and others also comforted Yang Yang after the game, and Yang Yang congratulated them with great grace, hoping that they could go further in the Olympics.

...

Although the Chinese team lost to Brazil 1-3, what I didn't expect was that Belgium sent all its main players, but in the last game, it only beat New Zealand 1-0 and failed to score more goals.

As a result, the Chinese team and Belgium accumulated four points, but because the Chinese team defeated Belgium four-to-one in the first game, the total number of goals in the group stage reached seven goals and conceded six goals. Belgium scored a total of three goals and conceded three goals, so the Chinese team actually beat Belgium slightly in goal difference.

According to the rules of the Olympic group stage, the Chinese team and Belgium have the same points, but the Chinese team has a slight advantage in goal difference, so the Chinese team was able to qualify as the second in the group after Brazil.

This is definitely an unexpected surprise.

The media and fans were also very excited about this. The state TV station and authoritative party newspapers have rated this unexpected gain as the result of the unremitting efforts and unwillingness to give up by the players led by Yang Yang.

If there is no tenacity against Belgium and no hard pursuit against Brazil, how could there be the goal difference that wins?

…………

…………

Although the Chinese team narrowly obtained the right to qualify in the group with the advantage of goal difference, they encountered the Italian team's favorite to win the championship in the quarterfinals.

This team is also full of stars, gathering many famous European stars, including Juventus's Marchisio and Giovanco, Fiorentina's Montolivo, and Villarrele striker Rossi, which makes Italy's overall strength still very outstanding. They even defeated South Korea in the group stage three-to-zero.

Faced with such a strong opponent, although the Chinese team sent all their main players and performed very tenaciously. Even when they were behind two goals, Yang Yang scored two goals in a row and tied the score again, but in the end he could not stop Italy's strong offensive and lost this key knockout match 2-3.

He stopped in the quarterfinals and missed the semi-finals, but the Chinese team showed a gratifying side.

Yang Yang is the banner and leader of this team, and his role is becoming more and more obvious. There is no need to say anything more. The performance of several other international players in foreign countries is getting better and better. On the contrary, many domestic players are very disappointed.

Therefore, after being eliminated by Italy, domestic and foreign media and fans generally praised the performance of the Chinese team, believing that although the team is not as skilled as others, they have tried their best.

But at home, discussions on encouraging players to go abroad, especially young players, have become more enthusiastic.

Because judging from the performance of this Olympic Games, the performance of international players studying abroad is obviously much better than that of players who stay in China. Three years ago, they fought side by side to win the World Youth Championship.

Although the team stopped in the quarterfinals, Yang Yang's performance was unanimously recognized by domestic fans and his reputation increased to a higher level-
