Chapter 290 The Gods Descend to Rio
"Wow!"

Seeing the Olympic flame being lit on the spot, Jiang Yuan felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

"Hey, we're ready to go, Greek team! Where are the Greek team members!"

The volunteers backstage held a loudspeaker and shouted, and the athletes gradually realized that the entrance ceremony was about to begin!

Soon, the music started and Greece, as the birthplace of the Olympics, was the first to appear.

"Get ready to move forward!"

Su Bingtian came back and called Jiang Yuan, indicating that the athletes of the Chinese delegation were about to assemble.

Jiang Yuan pointed at Bolt beside him and looked at Su Bingtian in front of him: "Brother Tian, ​​don't you want to go up and meet him?"

what?
Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Su Bingtian became a little flustered. Yes, the God of the 100-meter Race was standing in front of him. If he didn't go up to shake hands and make friends with him now, when would he go?
However, before Su Bingtian could step forward, Bolt took the initiative to walk towards him: "Su, I know you, you are also a 100m athlete, right? You and Jiang are from the same country, right?"

The Chinese delegation's uniforms are uniformed, with male athletes wearing red on top and white on the bottom, and female athletes wearing yellow on top and white on the bottom. It's a typical tomato and scrambled eggs color scheme, and with the national flag on their clothes, the Chinese athletes can be recognized at a glance from a distance.

"Usain"

Su Bingtian stretched out his hand with a somewhat nervous expression, but he quickly adjusted himself.

Bolt clenched his fist with one hand, knocked on his chest, and then pointed at Su Bingtian's eyes: "Su, I look forward to seeing you in the final!"

……

"The athletes coming towards us are from the South African delegation. The flag bearer is 400m athlete Vaid van Niekerk, whose personal best is 43 seconds. He is a strong contender for the Olympic gold medal!"

Delegations from various countries walked forward one by one, and fans in the live broadcast room typed the names of their idols in the barrage. The entrance ceremony happened to coincide with 8 a.m. Beijing time, so there were still a lot of people watching.

The Olympics is indeed one of the highest-level sporting events. The lineup of athletes is luxurious and includes many familiar faces.

Of course, the most familiar ones haven't come out yet.

"It's our turn!"

Hui Ruoqi's voice came from the front. Jiang Yuan looked over and saw that Chile, who was in front of them, had already set off.

In the CCTV5 live broadcast room.

"Now it is the Chilean team that is presenting its 44th team. The flag bearer is the track and field athlete Erica Oliveira..."

"Next, the athletes from the Chinese delegation are walking towards us!"

The CCTV commentator was very understanding. When he saw the Chinese team's flag, he deliberately raised his volume, fearing that some viewers in the live broadcast room might not react.

【the People's Republic of China】

"The flag bearer of the Chinese delegation is the foil fencer Lei Sheng. We can see that the scale of the Chinese delegation is very large."

The on-site reporters' cameras focused on the flag bearer Lei Sheng, followed by Hui Ruoqi, Zhang Changning and other female volleyball players, and of course Ma Long, Su Bingtian and other athletes who were very popular.

Soon, the camera moved away from Su Bingtian and turned to Jiang Yuan at the scene.

This is a close-up shot. In the picture, Jiang Yuan is holding a small flag and waving it back and forth. The entire focused shot lasts for 7 seconds.

"Oh! We can see that the person in the camera is Jiang Yuan, an athlete of the Chinese men's football team. He is also one of the most valuable athletes in the Rio Olympics."

"The match between Jiang Yuan and Neymar is also one of the highlights of the Rio Olympics. However, because both teams are number one seeds, they will not meet in the group stage."

"Also, next to Jiang Yuan is China's 9m champion Su Bingtian. His personal best is 99 seconds, making him the top runner in China's 100m event."

[Fuck, this row of noodles is completely full]

[Hahaha, CCTV gave Kobe 8 seconds of footage during BJ's performance. I counted, and Xiao Jiang only got 7 seconds this time. They really gave him face.]

[Su Bingtian next to him is under a lot of pressure]

[Well, Jiang Yuan should be the most valuable athlete in this Olympics, right? ]

[Neymar: ???]

[Yes, and Neymar, when will Neymar come out? ]

[Host Brazil will be the last. I guess Neymar will also have a long close-up. Football in this Olympics will not be as boring as before.]

[I saw Bolt posted a photo of him, Jiang Yuan and Neymar on Instagram 20 minutes ago. When did these three people know each other? ]

[Neymar also posted on Instagram, why didn’t Jiang Yuan? 】

[I guess we have to wait, it will be released sooner or later anyway. I was counting on Jiang Yuan to live broadcast the opening ceremony, why didn't he do it? ]

【China, go ahead!!!】

Among the more than 200 participating teams in the Olympics, the Chinese delegation has the largest number of members. When put together, it is long and wide, with nearly 5 to 6 times the number of Chilean teams.

"Woo! Jiang!"

"Here, look here!"

"Jiang!"

There was a mixture of various languages ​​in the stands, especially when the host shouted out the words "the People's Republic of China", the foreign fans in the stands went crazy.

For European and African countries, football is the sport they are most familiar with, and Neymar and Jiang Yuan are undoubtedly the athletes they are most familiar with.

Because Jiang Yuan's voice was the loudest in the entire Chinese delegation.

“You have a lot of fans!”

The cheers from the Maracana Stadium made Ge Manqi, who was walking with him, a little envious. Jiang Yuan waved his hands innocently: "You are a 100m athlete. If you break the world record, the whole world will know your name. Your ceiling is much higher than mine."

"world record?"

Ge Manqi shuddered after hearing this: "That really has nothing to do with me."

"Ha ha!"

……

The appearance of the 45th-ranked Chinese delegation set off the first climax in the live broadcast room, and the second climax was given to the 64th-ranked United States of America, including Durant, Anthony, Kyrie Irving, -meter champion Gatlin, and swimming champion Phelps.

Jiang Yuan followed the Chinese delegation members around the grass for most of the day, and finally stood in three rows on the grass. Listening to the cheers for the American athletes, Jiang Yuan was very moved.

The Olympics is really full of superstars.

"With more than 200 delegations, how long will it take?"

Jiang Yuan stood on tiptoe and looked forward. Now it was No. 93 Hungary's turn.

“Just sit down.”

Wu Lei pointed to the side. Half of the athletes from Chile and Cyprus were already sitting on the ground. Jiang Yuan looked left and right, and finally sat down with Wu Lei.

"call……"

Jiang Yuan took out his mobile phone and watched the live broadcast of CCTV. It must be said that professional reporters are professional reporters. The angle of this camera is very good. Only some athletes and flag bearers at the front of each country can be seen. The attention in the live broadcast room was completely unaware that more than half of the athletes at the back had fallen.

While sitting on the grass and talking on the phone, a few athletes from Cyprus next door came to chat with Jiang Yuan.

As one of the Mediterranean countries, Cyprus also highly values ​​football. However, due to its small population base, this country has no advantages in any competitive sports.

"Jiang, I often watch your games when I get home after training!"

Condides took the initiative to ask for Jiang Yuan's WhatsApp account. This was the 102nd friend Jiang Yuan had added at the Olympics.

During the investigation, Jiang Yuan learned that Condides was a sailing athlete, but his opinion on this was: Not as good as football.

"All sports are very important. Judging from your physique, you must be very good at it, right?" Jiang Yuan grabbed Condides' arm. He didn't know much about sailing, but since Condides could sit on the grass, he must be no ordinary person.

"It's OK, but I prefer to be a football player, football is the most exciting sport"

Although he has achieved many achievements in the field of sailing, there is still a hint of envy in Condides' eyes when he looks at Jiang Yuan.

In terms of fans, income and social status, the three basic factors, top football players are far superior to top sailing athletes. This is determined by the fan base of the sport.

“Your country is amazing!”

Condides looked at Su Bingtian next to him and asked: "Is this also from your football team?"

"No, no, no, he's running the 100-meter race."

Jiang Yuan corrected: "Our football team is in the back. If you want to meet them, I can take you there."

"Haha, your country's football is really good to be able to participate in the Olympics. We want to learn from you!"

After hearing what Condides said, Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched and he didn't know what to say.

You say it’s amazing… then it’s amazing!

The time spent chatting always goes by quickly, and before we knew it, it was the last few countries' turn to appear.

When Adam Marquez walked towards the podium holding the Brazilian flag, the entire Maracana stadium fell into carnival and the music on the scene became louder.

“We are the host of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro…”

"República Federativa do Brasil! (Federal Republic of Brazil!)"

The theme song of this Olympic Games - "Gods Descend to Rio" - was played at the scene. This theme song can be said to be perfectly designed.

Because of the opening of the Olympic Games, Rio is now the area with the largest number of true gods per square meter in the world.

Among the crowd on the grass, Neymar caught sight of Jiang Yuan who had just stood up. Their eyes met and they both laughed.

This is a very long picture, but there were still sharp-eyed reporters at the scene who captured it.

……

Next was the opening speech by the President of Brazil, and then a chorus of the Olympic anthem. Jiang Yuan didn't know how to sing at all, but he still had to move his mouth along, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he was photographed by the reporters around him.

The Olympics sounds awesome, but when the leaders were speaking, the top athletes were the same as ordinary people. Condides next door was posting on Instagram, and Jiang Yuan even saw two Brazilian athletes watching a live broadcast of CSGO.

Those two guys are really awesome. While the president was giving a speech, they were already having fun down there.

"Hey, Jiang, let's take a photo!"

Condides hugged Jiang Yuan's neck and slapped him vigorously.

Photo caption: [Chinese football, a role model! ]

After the opening ceremony, thousands of fireworks exploded around the venue, and the fireworks gathered above the Maracanã Stadium, giving Rio a different kind of beauty.

Jiang Yuan had no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, because his first Olympic competition would begin tomorrow afternoon!

Ding Dong!

The phone vibrated. It was a message from Bolt.

[I've seen the schedule. I'll go to watch your game tomorrow! ]

what?
[Don’t you need to prepare for the competition? I remember you signed up for 3 events, right? ]

[No need to prepare]

amount……

Jiang Yuan touched his forehead. It's true that Bolt likes football and it's also true that he runs fast.

It really proves what Neymar said before, this guy is not here to compete, but to win the gold medal!
……

Amazon Stadium Manaus
"China Media Group, China Media Group!"

"This is the first round of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games men's football group stage Group A match, Mexico U23 vs. China U23. We can see that the players of both teams are ready in the player tunnel. I am He Wei, the commentator of this game, and I am Zhan Jun, the commentator of this game."

"The camera is now focused on China's U23 player Jiang Yuan, a star from the English Premier League club Chelsea. Along with Brazil's Neymar, he is one of the two favorites in the football event of this Olympics."

Jiang Yuan, who was standing in the player's tunnel, saw the camera turning towards him and gave the lens a thumbs up. Immediately, there was a burst of screams from the stands.

It’s a regular match procedure, and now the players from both sides are about to leave the player tunnel, but this is a national team match, so there will be an extra ceremony.

Beep!

After two whistles, caddies dressed in black walked out of the player tunnel holding three flags.

The three flags are the Mexican flag, the Chinese flag and the FIFA flag. The three flags are unfolded in the center of the stadium, with the FIFA flag in the center and the other two flags on both sides.

A female voice sounded at the scene.

"Referees, coaches, and athletes please enter now!"

gone!

Jiang Yuan patted Wu Lei in front of him, and they walked out of the passage together.

"woww!!!"

"Go China! Go China!"

"come on!"

"Go China!"

The Manaus Stadium has a total of 5 seats. Today, nearly 3 people came, including 1 Brazilians, 1 Chinese fans, and the remaining 5 were football fans from all over the world.

For the first round of the group stage, this attendance rate is already very exaggerated.

Jiang Yuan walked straight down the left side of the field, which was where he played in this game, but was immediately called back by Wu Lei: "Brother Yuan, we still have to sing the national anthem!"

What the hell!

Jiang Yuan reacted and hurried back to the team. This was his first time participating in a large-scale national team competition, and he had forgotten about this process.

Soon, the female voice sounded again. The female voice was in Portuguese and the male voice was in English. It was not difficult for Jiang Yuan to understand these two languages.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stand up."

"Play the Mexican national anthem!"

“Himno Nacional Mexicano”

The director's camera swept across the Mexican players one by one, but the two commentators in the live broadcast room did not speak.

After about a minute, the singing stopped and the female voice sounded again.

"Play the national anthem of the People's Republic of China!"

“March of the Volunteers”

"Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!"

"Thump, thump, thump!"
