Chapter 294: Fighting Fiji
The next day at noon, after lunch, Jiang Yuan took a helicopter back to the Olympics to meet up with his teammates, and then took a bus to Sao Paulo.
On the bus, Li Yi and Jiang Yuan looked at each other. Jiang Yuan left last night without informing Li Yi, which made him, the head coach, a little unhappy. But even though he was unhappy, Li Yi certainly didn't dare to say anything to Jiang Yuan.
"Brother Yuan!"
Seeing Jiang Yuan getting on the bus with a backpack, Zhang Yuning hurried over and helped Jiang Yuan put the backpack into the storage compartment above, while vacating the seat next to him.
Also getting in the car were Jiang Yuan's two bodyguards. These two guys were carefully selected by Neymar. One was 2 meters tall and the other was 1 meters tall. They had classic American tattoos all over their bodies and looked very scary.
Looking at the two bodyguards sitting next to him, Zhang Yuning was a little nervous: "Brother Yuan, which security company is this? I wanted to hire a bodyguard before, but when I contacted Taliy, he said there was no one there."
"This is not from a security company, this is from the Brazilian mafia..."
Jiang Yuan was a little embarrassed and announced to the public that this was a bodyguard from a security company, but there was really no need to hide it from his teammates. If Jiang Yuan said that this was hired by the security company, Zhang Yuning might have come up and asked about the channel.
"Black...gangster?"
Zhang Yuning observed carefully and found that these two guys really looked like gangsters and looked very fierce.
"Fuck, gangsters, Brother Yuan, you are so awesome that you use gangsters as bodyguards"
Liu Binbin, who was sitting in the front row, put his hands on the seat and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that they will suddenly rob you?"
"That's definitely not the case. Gangs also need to make money. I pay them enough money, so they work for me. There are also a few gangsters among Neymar's bodyguards. I heard him say that these gangsters are more useful than those from ordinary security companies."
When they heard that it was Neymar who recommended him, Liu Binbin and Zhang Yuning could only envy him.
It is true that athletes of similar level usually know each other. It is a pity that Liu Binbin and Zhang Yuning are still far behind Neymar, just like college students and junior high school students have no common topics.
As soon as they got off the car, the National Olympic players were surrounded by reporters. Jiang Yuan was of course given special treatment. There were 10 reporters in total, and all of them wanted to interview Jiang Yuan.
"Um……"
Jiang Yuandong looked around and finally chose a newspaper from China, Guangming Daily.
"Jiang Yuan, according to the roster released before the game, you are a substitute in this game. Were you injured in the last game?"
In the match against Mexico, Jiang Yuan and Gutierrez collided and fell down. The team doctor came on the court to treat them. At that time, Chinese fans were almost scared to death.
"Of course not. As you can see, I continued the game after the doctor treated me, which shows that there is nothing wrong with my body."
The reporter pulled the microphone over again: "So was your substitution in this game the coach's decision or your own?"
Before Jiang Yuan could answer, Li Yi on the side said, "This is the conclusion reached after the coaching staff discussed with him. We think it would be a better choice to let Jiang Yuan be a substitute in this game because he consumed a lot of energy in the last game."
"Will you still play today?"
"Hard to say"
Jiang Yuan looked around and saw that his teammates had already gone in, so he said, "Brother, I have to go in now. Let's talk next time!"
……
There are still 20 minutes left before the game starts.
In the home team's locker room at the Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo, head coach Li Yi stood in the middle and spoke.
"Today our opponent is relatively weak, but we must be careful. Brazil is likely to be first in the group, and in order to avoid being in the same half of the group with Brazil and Portugal in the knockout stage, we must also get first in the group. There is only one result of today's game, and that is to get all three points."
Li Yi drew two strokes on the tactical board, then looked at Jiang Yuan: "I will most likely not let Jiang Yuan play today, you guys need to stand up. Some foreign media said that our Chinese Olympic team can win even if they tie up 10 dogs. I need you to show your strength and prove your own strength, to win honor for yourselves and for our Chinese Olympic team."
"Use your strength to show others that China has more than just Jiang Yuan as a player!"
Li Yi is a relatively calm person, but in such a passionate situation he will still act more passionately.
It has to be said that Li Yi's speech was very effective. Liao Lisheng, Xie Pengfei, Wu Xinghan and others were like they were injected with chicken blood.
In the previous game, Wu Xinghan, who was moved to the central defender position, had an argument with goalkeeper Wang Dalei. It is true that the two have reconciled, but Li Yi still moved Wu Xinghan back to the forward position.
It just so happened that Jiang Yuan didn't play today, so Wu Xinghan could play his favorite left winger. It's just a pity for Zhang Yuning, as this guy originally had a chance to start.
"It's okay, Brother Ning, take your time."
Jiang Yuan simply comforted Zhang Yuning, who was in a relatively good mood: "To be honest, I know I won't have any chance, as long as I can play."
"The starters can sing the national anthem on the field."
Jiang Yuan said with a smile that no athlete can resist the temptation of the national anthem, especially for young players like Zhang Yuning, the charm of the national anthem is unimaginable.
"But this also requires strength..."
Zhang Yuning smiled helplessly. If he could start, who would want to be a substitute? His luck was pretty good. For someone like Wei Shihao who was directly excluded from the roster, that was a real pity.
"Almost done, let's go out first"
The starting players were already preparing in the player tunnel. Jiang Yuan walked out of the tunnel with Zhang Yuning and others. The moment Jiang Yuan appeared, the sound immediately broke out on the court.
"Jiang Yuan!"
"Digging grass, so close? Jiang Yuan, come here and let me touch it!"
"Why not the starting lineup? Jiang Yuan, why not the starting lineup?"
"Stupid Li Yi, fuck me!"
"wowwww! Come on China!"
"We're targeting Fiji!"
"..."
The Corinthians Arena has more than 6 seats, and nearly 2 Chinese came today. It seems that the impact of the previous victory is still very great.
Jiang Yuan greeted the fans. Several of them wanted the jersey Jiang Yuan was wearing, which made Jiang Yuan a little embarrassed: "Brother, I may have to play again. How about this, I'll give you the jersey after the game!"
Under the gaze of the fans, Jiang Yuan slowly walked to the bench and sat down, took out his mobile phone, took a photo with the fans behind him, and then opened his live broadcast account.
"Brother Yuan, are you going to live stream again?"
Zhang Yuning leaned his head forward, and the familiar feeling almost made Jiang Yuan mistake Zhang Yuning for Zouma.
"Well, I have nothing to do, so I'll just chat with the fans."
Jiang Yuan was seen operating on the mobile phone screen for a while, and finally gave the live broadcast room a title: [Exclusive View of the Olympics].
After turning on the live broadcast, Jiang Yuan stood up, held up his phone, and signaled to the fans at the scene: "Give me some traffic! Give me some traffic!"
"wowww!"
"Brilliant!"
“Which platform?”
"No, hey, brother, tell me which platform to watch it on?"
"Wowww! Jiang Yuan is awesome!"
The previous live broadcasts have earned Jiang Yuan nearly 1000 million fans on the live broadcast platform. Within less than 5 minutes of the start of this broadcast, the number of people online in the live broadcast room exceeded 20.
[Oh my god, when I saw Jiang Yuan was not on the substitute list, I knew he was going to start a live broadcast. Look, isn’t it just as I said, the bench perspective is back! ] [The picture is clearer than before, did the anchor change his phone? ]
[Jiang's army reports, we will fight Fiji tonight! ]
[There are so many live broadcast rooms, Xiao Jiang’s popularity is pretty good]
[??? All the internet celebrities are coming to take advantage of the Olympics heat now? Broadcaster, you bought a good seat and started live broadcasting, isn't this an infringement of copyright? ]
[You upstairs, go wash your eyes]
[Damn, this is the most fan-favoring star, no doubt about it! ]
[I want to watch the match between China and Germany, but I can’t buy tickets. It’s really fucked up]
[I remember the flight from Wuhan to Rio was 8000 yuan, how come it has become 2 yuan? You guys are really cruel! ]
[It is estimated that the Chinese army will arrive in Rio in 2 days, a battle between China and Germany! ]
[Don't have a big fight between China and Germany. Let's beat Fiji first and then talk about other things. Jiang Yuan is on the bench. How can the Chinese team win? ]
[Identified as a fake fan, even without Jiang Yuan, Fiji can't beat China. Trust me, just bet on China to win this time]
[On the Huanledou website, you can buy whether Jiang Yuan will appear. If he does, the odds are 1 to 2.82. Is there anyone who wants to buy this with me? ]
"Are there still people who want to buy my appearance?"
Looking at the comments in the live broadcast room, Jiang Yuan laughed. The operators of the Happy Beans website are quite talented. They have really made it so that everything can be bought.
"The Olympic Anthem!"
"Immortal spirit of antiquity!"
"Father of the true, beautiful and good!"
"..."
At the Corinthians Arena, the Olympic anthem sounded, and the three flags, the Chinese flag, the FIFA flag, and the Fijian flag, were sent out one after another.
"Por favor, toda a plateia levante-se"
"Now, please stand up, everyone!"
"Ode to the National Anthem of the People's Republic of China, "March of the Volunteers!""
cough cough.
Jiang Yuan clapped his hands and quickly put his phone on the table: "Brothers, let's talk later."
At the scene, after a "beep" sound, a familiar melody sounded.
There will be no flag-raising ceremony in the group stage, so all spectators and substitutes on the field need to look at the national flag on the field.
When the Chinese national anthem is played, Chinese players must sing along. Chinese fans can sing along or choose to just stand there and stand at attention.
The requirements for citizens of other countries were a little simpler, they just had to stand, there was no mandatory salute requirement. However, the Fijian fans were relatively honest, everyone stood up and kept their eyes on the Chinese flag.
There was no way. Including the players, there were less than 1000 Fijians at the scene. Although Chinese fans would not pick fights like English fans did, Fijian fans still chose a more "stable" way to deal with it.
After the national anthems of the two countries were sung, the competition began soon.
"Let's begin. I'll first introduce the starting lineups of both teams. Uh, forget it. This stuff takes too much time. I won't introduce it anymore."
"Anchor, anchor, what do you feel about the Brazilian young model... No, this is a football live broadcast room, what are you talking about here? If you say anything else, I will ban you!"
"When will the anchor transfer to Real Madrid... huh? Who did you hear this from? How come I didn't know I was going to transfer to Real Madrid? I will still be at Chelsea in the 15-16 season. Please stop listening to those bloggers. Someone asked me on Weibo a few days ago when I would join the Lakers. I am so screwed!"
"Host, can you analyze the outcome of this match? That's fine, finally a more normal question."
Jiang Yuan carefully observed the situation of both teams in the first few minutes of the game through the screen of his mobile phone.
"At the moment, the Chinese team should have a slight advantage, and China itself is a slow-starting type, so the advantage should become bigger later, so I think we can... I think the Chinese Olympic team can win this game."
"score?"
"As for the score, I guess it's 3:1, the same as the last game."
Jiang Yuan knew he would not play, so his guess for the score was conservative. Actually, in Jiang Yuan's opinion, the final score was not the main point, but whether he could get all 3 points.
Jiang Yuan sat on the bench, watching the game while looking at the comments in the live broadcast room. It has to be said that there are fans of all kinds of events watching the Olympics. A lot of people in the live broadcast room wanted Jiang Yuan and Durant to have a collaboration.
In response to this, Jiang Yuan said that the venues for basketball games and the stadiums for football games do not overlap at all.
This is not the most important thing. The US men's basketball team did not live in the Olympic Village at all. Rio is a coastal city. They directly chartered a luxury cruise ship and stayed on the cruise ship at night. It's not that they don't want to cooperate, but there is no chance at all.
Back on the court, the game reached the 12th minute and the number of people in Jiang Yuan’s live broadcast room officially exceeded 200 million.
"Ok, Liao Lisheng, Liao Lisheng, pass to the left, Wu Xinghan!"
"Wu Xinghan is down the field, can he pass? The pass was returned. Hey, actually Brother Han could have tried to pass the ball in that position just now."
"But it doesn't matter. We still have the ball. Chang Feiya passes the ball in the middle to Zhang Linpeng on the right!"
"Look at the performance of our captain Brother Peng!"
"Brother Peng, pass the ball to the front, Wu Lei gets the ball"
"Cross pass from the middle, Liu Binbin, shoot directly!"
"The ball went in!!!"
The players on the Chinese team's bench stood up to celebrate, but the referee blew the whistle on the goal immediately.
call!
Jiang Yuan suppressed his excitement and sat back in his chair: "Fuck, this referee must be an idiot, is this offside?"
"Can the anchor be more decent... You are talented people, and you all come to watch the wild live broadcast and still want some decent people."
"..."
"The Chinese team attacked again! It was initiated by Liao Lisheng again. My brother Liao is in very good shape today."
"Pass it straight to Liu Binbin in the front, Brother Bin!"
"He kicked the ball and the Fijian goalkeeper made a save. Damn, he actually saved it."
"The first shot had no effect, but it doesn't matter, our brother Lei grabbed the ball that the goalkeeper saved"
"Follow up!"
"The ball is in!"
"Wohoo!!!"
