Chapter 305 China, Brazil!
At 12:23 p.m. local time, three hours before the Olympic semi-final between Brazil U23 and China U3, there were already crowds of people outside the Havelange Olympic Stadium.

The match between the host Brazil and the country with the largest number of tourists, China, plus the previous group photo of Neymar, Jiang Yuan and Bolt, if nothing unexpected happens, this will be the most watched game since the start of the Olympic men's football event.

The organizers also understood the show's effects very well and had arranged the venue the day before the game. The stadium has a total of 6 seats, 4 for Brazil, 1 for China, and 5000 tickets for neutral fans.

This game is divided into home and away teams. The home team stands and the neutral fans' stands are both green, while the away team fans' stands are all bright red.

Not only inside the stadium, the organizers also hung giant posters outside the stadium. At the east gate of the stadium, Jiang Yuan, who is 15 meters tall, and Neymar looked at each other, one green and one red, and both of them had surprisingly fierce eyes.

The busiest scene was below the two posters, where fans from each team took up pens and signed on them to indicate that they had come to watch the game.

Although Brazil has been allocated a total of 4 seats, there are more than 4 people outside the stadium. Many of them do not have tickets and are here to join in the fun.

These fans outside the stadium also added a different atmosphere to the scene.

"Brazil!"

Boom!

"Brazil!"

Bang bang bang!
Xinhua News Agency reporter Peng Xiaoyu led a camera team to interview Chinese fans outside the Avilante Stadium.

"Hello, sir. I am a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. I would like to ask you what is your opinion on the Olympic Games between China and Brazil?"

"view?"

The bespectacled boy being interviewed hesitated for a moment, and finally pointed to the giant poster at the door and said: "I have been watching football for 15 years. This is my first time watching a football match live. The atmosphere is even more exaggerated than I imagined!"

Because the Brazilian fans at the scene were singing in chorus, the boy was almost shouting.

"is not what it means!"

Peng Xiaoyu shook his head quickly: "I want you to make a prediction about the outcome of the game. Brazil or China, who do you think will win?"

"I think it's Brazil, just like everyone else guessed"

The man with glasses responded: "To be honest, I didn't expect the Chinese Olympic team to make it to the semi-finals. I can't blame them for not beating Brazil."

The man with glasses is telling the truth. Only true football fans know how outstanding the U23's performance was in this Olympics.

They made it to the semi-finals for the first time in the knockout stage, and they did it by stepping on the dead body of Portugal. The gold content is extremely high.

For the Chinese Olympic men's football team, which has had poor performance in the past, this result is something to brag about for a while.

As for Brazil, China can only say that it was bad luck to encounter Brazil.

As the game approached, the noise at the scene became increasingly noisy. Peng Xiaoyu had to turn up the volume of the microphone and shouted, "You said you have been watching football for 15 years, so you should know a lot about football games. Please evaluate Jiang Yuan's performance in this Olympics. What do you think of Jiang Yuan's performance?"

The bespectacled man who was being interviewed grabbed the microphone and raised his head to shout, "Jiang Yuan, you are my f*cking dad!!!"

This was a live broadcast. The backstage wanted to switch the camera, but it was too late.

The game had not started yet, and Peng Xiaoyu continued to look for Chinese fans suitable for interviews. His purpose was to understand what Chinese fans thought of the performance of the Chinese Olympic men's football team in this Olympics. However, in the process, Peng Xiaoyu met a very interesting Brazilian.

The Brazilian had green dye all over his face and a Brazilian flag painted on each cheek, but he was wearing a Chelsea shirt with the number JiangYuan7 on it.

The ingredients are complex and an interview is necessary!
"Hello, sir. May I have an interview?"

Peng Xiaoyu is worthy of being the on-site reporter specially dispatched by Xinhua News Agency to the Olympic Games. His fluent Portuguese is no joke.

However, although Peng Xiaoyu spoke, the Brazilian man in the painted uniform was singing and dancing and did not notice Peng Xiaoyu at all.

"Hey, mister, can you hear me?"

Peng Xiaoyu shouted again, and this time the man finally responded: "Wow, you are a reporter from China? Do you want to interview me?"

"Yes sir, may I interview you?"

Brazilians are generally quite enthusiastic, and this Brazilian with painted hair even told Peng Xiaoyu his name directly.

Miguel

"Okay Mr. Miguel, I see you have the Brazilian flag painted on your face. This is to show support for your country, right?"

Miguel pushed away his dancing partner who was trying to find him: "Go away, can't you see I'm going to be a star?"

Then, Miguel turned to look at Peng Xiaoyu, and his tightly locked facial muscles relaxed immediately: "Of course, Brazil is my homeland, and I support the Brazilian team."

Peng Xiaoyu pointed at Miguel's chest, where the blue lion on the team logo was clearly visible. "But I see you're wearing Jiang's jersey. What does that mean? Is it a provocation to the opponent?"

"No no no!"

Seeing Peng Xiaoyu's misunderstanding, Miguel shook his head again and again: "I am a Chelsea fan, Jiang is my idol"

"Is that so? But the match between Brazil and China is about to start. Would it be... inappropriate for you to wear Jiang's jersey now?"

Peng Xiaoyu kindly reminded that, as he said, because the game was about to start, the Brazilian fans at the scene were looking at China with hostility. Miguel was wearing Jiang Yuan's jersey, which might be dangerous.

“It doesn’t matter”

Miguel smiled and said: "Compared to Neymar, I prefer Jiang because I like Jiang's style of play, which is more powerful."

"As for Neymar, I wish him good luck"

As soon as Miguel finished speaking, he was dragged away by three Brazilian fans. Peng Xiaoyu quickly signaled the cameraman to adjust the camera.

If nothing unexpected happens, Miguel is going to have an accident.

"This is a traitor!"

A red-haired young man rushed to Peng Xiaoyu and said, "Brazilians should support Junior. Jiang is a joke. His ball control is not as good as mine!"

Just when Peng Xiaoyu was in embarrassment, a bus slowly drove over from the distance. The bus had the Olympic five-ring logo, as well as the Chinese national flag and the Dragon Team's national football team logo.

There is no doubt that this is the bus of the National Olympic Men's Football Team.

"gentlemen"

Peng Xiaoyu turned around and prepared to conduct a series of interviews with the red-haired guy, only to find that the guy had already rushed out.

"Jiang! Autograph! I'm your fan, I want your autograph!"

"Woww~!! Jiang!"

Peng Xiaoyu adjusted his glasses. This red-haired guy also has a bit of a comedic element to him.

I just didn’t expect that there are so many fans of Jiang Yuan in Brazil.

Today's game is really exciting!
……

After arriving at the scene, the National Olympic players conducted a simple warm-up on the field under the leadership of Li Shubin.

Although we played a game in Havelange once in the group stage, it still felt different to walk on this grass in the semi-finals.

At the scene, CCTV reporters who had obtained special rights interviewed the National Olympic Team star Jiang Yuan outside the grass.

The question is: Who do you think will win the game, China or Brazil?

Jiang Yuan looked at the camera: "I think the side with more goals will win"

……

With 15 minutes left before the game started, the Avilante Stadium had a capacity of 5, with 5 vacant seats. It was not that there were no people there, but that the tickets were all in the hands of scalpers at the door.

If nothing unexpected happens, the fans outside the stadium are bargaining with the scalpers, and it remains to be seen when they can agree on a suitable price.

At this time, the players were already in place in the player tunnel. It was early morning in China Beijing time, and CCTV's ratings reached 7.12%.

The ratings are outrageous, but there is a reason for that. The ratings of the Chinese men's football team on CCTV5 are already outrageous. And everyone has a stereotype about the Chinese men's football team, which is that it is rubbish.

But in today's Olympic Games, China's national Olympic opponent is Brazil, a country with a great reputation in football, and it is the semi-finals.

What everyone likes is something that breaks cognition!

"China Media Group, China Media Group!"

"This is the live broadcast of the Rio Olympics men's football semi-final between the Brazilian and Chinese Olympic teams. I am He Wei, the commentator of this game, and I am Zhang Lu."

"There are still 10 minutes left before the game starts. Today's match is at the Havelange Olympic Stadium in Brazil. We can see that there are a lot of fans coming to watch the game today."

"Yes, for Olympic football, this attendance is indeed very exaggerated. A few weeks ago, everyone was saying that they wanted to see Jiang Yuan play against Neymar, or wanted to see Neymar play against Jiang Yuan. Now, hey, it's really coming."

"According to the information given by both teams before the game, Jiang Yuan and Neymar will both start in this game, Neymar will play as center forward and Jiang Yuan will still play as left winger."

"The director's camera is focused on the players' tunnel. The ones shown in the camera now are Jiang Yuan and Neymar, the star players of the Chinese and Brazilian Olympic teams. We can see that the two of them are chatting in the tunnel."

"Yes, I remember there was a photo a while ago where Bolt was doing Tai Chi. The three of them had a good relationship off the court, but it's a pity that they are destined not to be friends on the court today."

In the picture, Jiang Yuan and Neymar are standing together and chatting. Standing behind Neymar is Augusto, a foreign player from Beijing Guoan.

It’s just a pity that there are no Guoan players in the starting 11 of the Chinese Olympic team today.

Soon, under Jiang Yuan's gaze, the caddies of the two teams slowly walked out of the passage carrying flags.

Neymar patted Jiang Yuan on the back and said, "Come on!"

"come on!"

Led by Zhang Linpeng, the Chinese Olympic team players walked out slowly.

“Jiang Yuan! Aaaaaaa——!!!”

“Wuhu!!!”

"Neymar!! and Marquinhos!"

"China is awesome, damn, Jiang Yuan, come on!!!"

The cheers of the fans made the players feel more stressed. Jiang Yuan looked at the caddie on his left and asked, "Are you nervous?"

“You’re the one who’s nervous.”

"Are you kidding me? How could I be nervous? I've played so many games."

"Brother, your palms are sweaty"

"Forehead……"

on the field.

"This is the men's football semi-final match of the Rio Olympics, between China and Brazil"

“Now, the National Anthem of the Federative Republic of Brazil”

The next second, the whole place was silent.

“Hino Nacional Brasileiro”

"..."

"Next is the visiting team, the Chinese Olympic team. Now, the national anthem of the People's Republic of China will be played."

"'March of the Volunteers'!"

Jiang Yuan put his hands behind his back, looking at the red flags fluttering in the stands, and felt as if his soul had been taken away.

"Now, the game is about to begin. Please ask the caddies, volunteers, and staff on site to leave." Pa pa pa pa!

The players on both sides clapped their hands and raised their arms: "Come on! Come on!"

"Wow!"

"Clap clap clap!"

The stands and the stadium were filled with the sound of applause. Jiang Yuan patted his thigh muscles, jogged over, and finally stood in the center circle with Liu Binbin, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle.

"10!"

"9!"

"8!"

"..."

"2!"

"1!!!"

"Beep!"

Snapped!
"China Media Group, China Media Group, good evening to all our audience friends"

"..."

"First up is the Brazilian Olympic team wearing green jerseys and white shorts, led by the superstar Neymar from La Liga Barcelona!"

巴西U23（4-2-3-1）

Goalkeeper: Weverton
Defenders: Zeca, Rodrigo Caio, Marquinhos, Douglas Santos

Midfielders: Wallace Sosa, Augusto, Luan

Forwards: Gabriel Barbosa, Neymar (C), Jesus
Head coach: Rodrigo Michal

"Then came the visiting team, wearing red jerseys and red shorts... the Chinese Olympic team!"

"..."

The game had just begun and the comment section on DocQiuDi had already exploded.

[Awesome, Jiang Yuan plays Neymar, wasn't Olympic football cut? What's going on now? ]

[It feels like a lot of people are watching this game. My dad goes to bed at 9 o'clock every day, but today he stayed up until 12 o'clock to watch the game]

[I told others that the Chinese men's football team had made it to the Olympic semi-finals, but no one believed me]

[Correction, it’s not the Chinese men’s football team, it’s the Chinese Olympic team]

[Fake match: China Olympic team VS Brazil Olympic team; real match: Jiang Yuan and Neymar's battle for the third place in the world]

[Damn, it feels like everyone at the stadium is Brazilian. Can't you sell more tickets to China? How much money can you make by selling tickets to Brazilians?]

[The reason for the loss is that it was an away game. If it was 08, Brazil would have no idea how it would have ended up. Jiang Yuan should have played better earlier. In 08, he made it to the knockout stage at home. How cool is that?]

[Anecdotal information: Xiao Jiang was only 08 years old in 10. If you asked him to play in the Olympics, his elementary school teacher would not agree, not to mention whether his coach would agree.]

【Outrageous! 】

[A bunch of British people on the Internet are cheering for China to come on, it makes me laugh to death]

[The opponents are all from the top five leagues. Damn, this is more difficult than playing against Germany]

[Brazil is harder to play against than Germany. Anyway, let’s see how this game goes. As long as China can score a goal, I will never criticize the Chinese national football team again in my life.]

[If China scores a goal, I will just bend down and eat the ball. Chinese people don’t cheat Chinese people]

……

"You guard him, you guard him!"

Jiang Yuan pointed at Lu An and signaled Liu Binbin to press forward, while he faced Sousa and also pressed forward.

With the accumulation of previous games, the National Olympic Team cooperated quite well today, especially the frontcourt composed of Jiang Yuan, Liu Binbin, and Liao Lisheng. Liu Binbin and Liao Lisheng were almost able to keep up with Jiang Yuan's rhythm.

Poor Wu Lei, he waited for a long time on the right side without any pass and could only rely on his small body to press the ball.

The Chinese coaching staff discussed the tactics against Brazil for a long time, and the final decision was to try a counterattack in the first 20 minutes of the first half to see the specific effects.

If you can kick, then play defensive counterattack. If you can't kick, then park the bus in front of the goal and wait for a penalty.

"Pass it out!"

"One kick to the ball! One kick to the ball!"

In front of the Brazilian team's bench, coach Mikael shouted loudly.

The president had specifically stressed that this Olympics, which was held at home, must not be lost in football and volleyball, as the most popular ball games in Brazil.

And for Mikale, this Olympic Games is particularly important.

If he gets the Olympic gold medal hanging at his doorstep, Mikael will have a great chance to enter the management of the Brazilian Football Association, and then he can make money by embezzling money.

But if he loses, even if Mikael enters the Brazilian Football Association, he will probably just be someone else's younger brother.

Brazil's passing and control are really impressive. With Luan as the core in the frontcourt, he broke through the Chinese team's pressing with several consecutive passes. Finally, Jesus got the ball on the left.

"The one with the ball now is Jesus, a young player from Palmeiras in the Brazilian Serie A. He was linked with Manchester City in the summer transfer window last season, which is enough to show his strength."

"Jesus, dribbling the ball on the wing, choose to do it yourself!"

"We say that these young players are brave, so the Chinese team should be more careful."

"Coach Zhang, I heard that you got to know every Brazilian player before the game. What do you think of Jesus' personal ability?"

"Very strong, from dribbling to passing and heading, this player is very versatile, and..."

"Hey, we can see that Jesus completed a crotch pass to Xie Pengfei on the wing!"

Zhang Lu was halfway through his words when Jesus made a crotch-piercing kick, which scared the Chinese fans so much that they stood up.

"Watch the middle lane and don't lose your position!"

While returning to defense, Jiang Yuan shouted and emphasized that the Chinese team's players generally lacked high-level combat awareness, so Jiang Yuan needed to make some simple commands.

Mikael put Neymar as the center forward, definitely wanting to take advantage of his dribbling and shooting abilities, so Liao Lisheng and Mi Haolun had to be very careful in this game and definitely not give Neymar too many opportunities.

Snapped!
Just as Jiang Yuan expected, after Jesus completed a crotch pass against Xie Pengfei on the wing, he passed the ball directly behind Neymar. The latter took the ball, turned around, glanced at the Chinese team's goal, and after thinking, passed the ball to the right.

Neymar's pass was very smooth, and right back Zeca came in from the wing and caught the ball perfectly.

Jiang Yuan signaled Shi Ke to keep an eye on Barbosa, while he chased after Zeca, and the two formed a 1v1 situation at the baseline.

The camera focused on Zeka and Jiang Yuan. Zeka stopped stepping on the ball, shook twice, and suddenly walked to the baseline, wanting to cut inside.

!!!

Jiang Yuan’s defensive skills are a bit poor, but the good thing is that he has a fast starting speed and can catch up immediately when he is passed.

Jiang Yuan grabbed Zeka's clothes with his right hand, ran straight to the bottom following the inertia, stretched out his left foot and kicked the ball out of the baseline.

"boom!"

Corner kick for Brazil!
"Pretty!"

Wang Dalei trotted over and high-fived Jiang Yuan, then immediately ran back to start arranging the fight.

Jiang Yuan helped Zeka up from the ground and followed him back to the penalty area.

"Brother Bin!"

Jiang Yuan secretly ran to Liu Binbin, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "You guard No. 9 (Barboza)"

"What about Neymar?"

Liu Binbin was a little confused. According to the plan, he was responsible for marking Neymar in the corner kick tactics. The reason was very simple. Neymar's header level was very average and he would not pose much threat.

"Tactical corner kick, defend Neymar!"

"Ah? How do you know?"

Liu Binbin was a little confused. The corner kick hasn't even been taken yet, and you already know what the opponent is going to do?
Jiang Yuan did not answer Liu Binbin's question, but pushed him towards Barbosa and gave a thumbs up with his right hand.

"Look at this corner kick of the Brazilian team, taken by No. 5 Augusto"

"Oh? Let's use a tactic. Augusto passes the ball to Jesus. Jesus, do you want to pass it to the penalty area..."

"Pass it to the middle, Sousa, Sousa pass it to Neymar!"

"Neymar stopped the ball! But because Jiang Yuan was stuck behind him, Neymar couldn't turn around after getting the ball!"

"What a pity, Neymar can only pass the ball back to Sousa"

"Sousa, hang into the penalty area!"

"Kayo!"

"Header!"

"Ugh! Kayo's header went flying! Goal kick!"

The two commentators were really worried about the Chinese team. The previous wave of attack didn't seem to be very good, but it still posed a threat to the Chinese team's goal.

"Grass!"

Jiang Yuan ran towards Chang Feiya: "That number 12 wants to pass the ball, just follow him!"

Jiang Yuan was also convinced. The previous wave of defense was actually perfect. As long as Chang Feiya ran between Neymar and Sousa, the Brazilian team would definitely lose the ball. But no one knew what Chang Feiya was thinking, and he actually ran towards Jiang Yuan.

"My mine!"

Chang Feiya was a little embarrassed. He actually wanted to help Jiang Yuan with defense, but he didn't expect Jiang Yuan to use his body to block the position and didn't give Neymar any space to operate.

"It's okay, it's okay, come on, come on!"

Jiang Yuan took the initiative to run over and high-fived Chang Feiya. This problem of consciousness was affected by the long-term competition environment. Chang Feiya could not think of what Jiang Yuan would do. On Jiang Yuan's side, he thought Chang Feiya would do that, but Chang Feiya did not do that.

This is a very serious coordination problem. The players have different rhythms, and it is extremely difficult for Jiang Yuan to play.

However, this is not the first day that Jiang Yuan has felt uncomfortable.

Hold on, you'll still see opportunities!
"Go China!"

"Go China!"

Although there were less than 2 Chinese fans at the scene, these 1 plus were all die-hard fans who bought scalped tickets at high prices.

1 spectators and an atmosphere of 5 people, this is the power of die-hard fans!
