……

北京时间8月21日晚上7点半，距离男子铜牌战还有不到6个小时的时间，CCTV5+频道临时加入了一期特别节目。

The content of the program is that CCTV commentator Zhang Lu, as a special guest, analyzes the match between China and Japan.

Although the live broadcast was not about a match, the ratings for this episode far exceeded expectations due to the good timing of the broadcast and the popularity of the China-Japan match.

In the audience, a CCTV staff member raised his hand and asked: "Teacher Zhang Lu, I am here to ask a question that Chinese fans are most concerned about, that is, between China and Japan, who do you think will win?"

Zhang Lu did not answer the question immediately after hearing it, but fiddled with the tactical board: "First of all, on paper, the Japanese team is slightly stronger, because their players are of more average level, and it will be easier to cooperate. I think there is a key to this game, that is, whether the Chinese team can deal with Japan's passing and control organization."

"Hehe, we've said before that the Chinese team's defense has a little problem. Mi Haolun and Yang Kuo, these two kids, their ideas are always out of sync, which is very troublesome!"

The staff member raised his hand again: "So, Mr. Zhang Lu thinks that the Japanese Olympic team has a better chance of winning?"

"of course not!"

Zhang Lu had a smile on his face: "We all know that the Chinese team's offense is very strong, second only to Germany and Nigeria among all the participating teams in this Olympics. If Wu Lei can perform well against Japan and threaten the Japanese defense on the right, then the Chinese team will have a greater chance of winning. Because if Wu Lei can perform well on the right, the main attacker Jiang Yuan will be less targeted on the left."

"There are only a limited number of defensive players. It depends on how many defensive players Wu Lei can help Jiang Yuan pull away."

"Of course, there is another crucial aspect of this game, and that is Jiang Yuan's mental state. I was commentating in the live broadcast room during the last game against Brazil. Due to various reasons, Jiang Yuan's mood was not very ideal. For a professional player of Jiang Yuan's age, the mentality of the game is a very important aspect. I hope he can get out of the frustration against Brazil."

"If Jiang Yuan can't do it, then I'm sorry, the Chinese team has absolutely no chance"

Zhang Lu's comments have always been relatively objective and his words were rather cruel, but the fans in the live broadcast room all knew that these were the truth.

……

On the other side, in the distant American continent, the buses of the Japanese and Chinese Olympic teams slowly drove to the Belo Horizonte Mineirão Stadium, and the fans outside the stadium began their carnival.

There are only two colors outside the Mineirão Stadium now, the red of China and the blue of Japan. The fans on both sides are quite lively, especially the Japanese fans. Several people held up a white banner with words of support for the Japanese men's football team written on it.

【Empire of Japan Men's Furuta Chang】

When the bus entered the stadium, fans of both teams asked for autographs from their respective stars. However, after all the stars entered the stadium, something bad happened: a shirtless Japanese uncle waving a Japanese flag rushed into the crowd of Chinese fans.

"Empire of Japan!!!"

"Hoohoo!"

Chinese fans also have bad tempers. After being provoked by this Japanese uncle, the Chinese fans closest to them all turned red.

"Stupid stuff!"

"Fuck the little Japanese!"

"Stupid, xuuuu——!!!"

After being scolded by Chinese fans, the Japanese uncle instantly became depressed. Mocking opponents is a habit he developed when watching football in the J-League, but after going abroad, it seems that doing so is not feasible.

The reason is very simple. The Japanese uncle is 1 meters tall. The six Chinese fans surrounding him are at least 52 meters tall, and there is even a 6-meter-tall Northeastern brother. The two of them were arguing with each other, making the Japanese uncle's heart pound.

"Cough cough!"

At the request of Chinese fans, the Japanese uncle took back the national flag and left. It is true that the Japanese uncle who mocked China left, but Chinese fans have a bad temper, and this matter will not be easily resolved.

"You idiot little bastard, I'll fuck your mother!"

"Rubbish! Rubbish!"

"Naruto is a piece of shit!"

Soon, conflicts broke out between the two sides. Japanese fans retreated again and again, muttering constantly, but there was nothing they could do.

In the live broadcast room of Guangming Daily's sports column, the host is warming up for the game.

"The Chinese and Japanese Olympic teams compete for the bronze medal for the first time in Olympic history between two Asian teams. Just now, both teams have announced their starting lineups. There is no doubt that this is a game worth looking forward to."

"Okay, let's switch to the on-site reporters to feel the atmosphere of the Olympic bronze medal match."

At the far end, Guangming Daily reporter Wang Xiaomeng arrived in time. After the photographer adjusted the camera position, the live broadcast began.

"Good evening, dear audience friends. I am Wang Xiaomeng, a live reporter. I am now at the Mineirão Stadium in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It is afternoon local time. There is still some time before the match between the Chinese and Japanese Olympic teams, but we can see that behind me, the battle between Chinese and Japanese fans has already begun."

"The conflict was caused by a provocation from a Japanese fan. The Japanese fan who initiated the provocation has already apologized, but the Chinese fans did not give up."

Many sports channel reporters cover more than one sport. Coincidentally, Wang Xiaomeng, a football reporter, is also a boxing enthusiast.

Wang Xiaomeng asked the photographer to point the camera at the two conflicting parties, and then put the microphone to his mouth: "Two Chinese fans attacked the Japanese fans. Let's see the Chinese fans' attack. Try the uppercut. The Japanese fans dodged it!"

"The Chinese fans attacked again. Wow! The Chinese fans hugged the Japanese fans. Another Chinese fan turned around and did a roundhouse kick! Beautiful! Very exciting!"

"The camera shifted, and the Japanese fans behind seemed to be complaining, but they seemed a little timid and didn't dare to step forward to help."

"The Chinese fans started to use naked chokes, and the Japanese fans seemed unable to resist. The Chinese fans behind started to mediate, but the effect did not seem to be very obvious."

"Will this be a KO? It looks like it will be a KO!"

Wang Xiaomeng's voice became more and more realistic, and his emotions became more and more excited, as if he had forgotten his identity as a reporter for Guangming Daily.

This incident did not have a very good impact. The backstage staff of Guangming Daily immediately shifted the camera back to the host of the program.

"Well... there was an unexpected situation at the scene. I believe the stadium security team can handle it in time. Because of the unexpected situation, our on-site interview this time is not feasible, but it doesn't matter. Our newspaper has invited former Chinese Super League club players to give everyone a detailed pre-match analysis..."

……

Inside the Mineirão Stadium, Japan Olympic coach Kazuo Moriyasu and the team's star player Takumi Minamino were being interviewed by a reporter from Brazil's Globo newspaper. During the interview, Moriyasu expressed his views on the Chinese Olympic team.

"They (China) are a strong team, but China's problem is obvious. Except for Jiang Yuansang, others have no ability to score goals when facing strong teams. Therefore, as long as we restrict Jiang Yuansang in the game, China will not be our opponent."

Minamino Takumi agreed with what Moriyasu said: "Japanese football is improving, while Chinese football is regressing. The gap in strength is obvious. Jiang Yuan-san is very good, but as for the others...haha, that's it."

The reporter from Globo leaned back with his mouth wide open: "It seems that you have high hopes for victory, but as far as I know, you lost the game against China in the U23 Asian Cup."

Moriyasu shook his head: "Japanese football is improving. The loss happened half a year ago. At today's Olympics, we will not disappoint the expectations of the Japanese citizens."

"China is not Germany. They don't have such good coordination and their excellent players are limited."

After finishing speaking, Moriyasu Hajime and Minamino Takumi stood up in the interview booth and bowed 90 degrees to the reporters in the audience.

"Thank you!"

Next is the pre-match interview of the home team, the Chinese Olympic men's football team. For this bronze medal match, all major Brazilian, Chinese, and Japanese newspapers have made sufficient preparations.

Pre-match interviews are optional, but for a crucial match like today, pre-match interviews are a must.

It was still a reporter from Globo. This reporter had a clear purpose. After Li Yi came up, he handed the microphone over directly: "In the previous interview, the Japanese Olympic team pointed out your problems... They think your player lineup is very extreme. When facing a strong team, except for Jiang, others have no ability to score goals or break through."

"I……"

Li Yi was about to speak when Jiang Yuan grabbed the microphone and said, "I don't know what the Japanese team meant by this."

“The Japanese team, are they strong?”

……

"China Media Group, China Media Group!"

"Good evening, dear audience friends. We are now broadcasting the bronze medal match of the men's football event at the Rio Olympics, between the Chinese Olympic team and the Japanese Olympic team."

"The atmosphere was very lively. We could see some verbal clashes between Chinese and Japanese fans at the Mineirão Stadium. In fact, five hours before the game, there was already a conflict between the fans of the two teams. Now, the relationship between the two sides has not been eased."

"Haha, it's okay, it will be quiet soon."

As soon as He Wei finished speaking, a sound was heard on the court.

"Please all the audience stand up and play the national anthem of the People's Republic of China... "March of the Volunteers""

Chinese fans and players began their chorus of the national anthem. It is worth mentioning that today the national anthem was louder than ever before.

The reason is simple, the target of "March of the Volunteers" is right on the opposite stands!

Whenever the Chinese national anthem is played, Japanese fans feel a little embarrassed. Previously, a Japanese official even asked China to change its national anthem. It can only be said that the Japanese official was dreaming.

"Get up! Get up! Get up!!!"

“We are united as one…!”

The national anthem became louder and louder as the climax reached its peak, with a few Chinese fans almost shouting it towards the opposite stands.

There are not many opportunities to sing the national anthem to the Japanese, so we must seize it today. Regardless of winning or losing the game, the momentum must be there!
"..."

"Now, let us play the national anthem of Japan, 'Kimi ga Yo'"

Out of politeness, most Chinese fans still stood. However, it was really hard to comment on the Japanese national anthem, as it sounded a bit miserable, as if someone had died.

Soon, the caddies left with flags.

The game is on!

"The referee has blown the whistle. Now I (He Wei) will introduce the starting lineup for this game. First up is the home team, the Chinese Olympic team, wearing red jerseys and red shorts!"

"..."

"Then the visiting team, Japan Olympic team, wearing blue jerseys and blue shorts, attacked from the left side of the screen to the right side."

Japan U23 (4-4-2)

Goalkeeper: Kosuke Nakamura

Defender: Roshi Kamekawa, Tsukasa Shiotani, Naomichi Ueda, Shige Muroya
Midfielders: Takumi Minamino, Wataru Endo, Ryota Oshima, Shoya Nakajima

Forwards: Shinzo Koroki, Takuma Asano

Head coach: Moriyasu Hajime
The Mineirão Stadium has a total of 6 seats. The Brazilian Olympic Committee gave 1 tickets each to China and Japan. It is true that China's seats were full, but Japan's were not, and the extra tickets were given to neutral fans.

If Chinese fans want to get these neutral tickets, they can pretend to be Koreans to buy them, but to be honest, pretending to be Koreans is too embarrassing for Chinese fans. It is better to stay outside the stadium and watch the live broadcast.

At the beginning of the game, He Wei and Huang Jianxiang analyzed the tactics of both teams. The Chinese team's 433 and Japan's 442 are both relatively traditional and conservative formations. But Huang Jianxiang said that Japan's 442 is not a typical 442. When defending, Japan will form a special 541 formation, which is a special tactic designed for the Chinese Olympic team, with the purpose of conducting a dense defense against Jiang Yuan.

Moriyasu and Mikale have the same idea. No matter how strong you, Jiang Yuan, are, as long as I have enough defensive players, you will not be able to perform well!
"China!"

Boom!

"China!"

Boom!

Amid the cheers of the fans, the game reached the 15th minute, and the Japanese team won a corner kick thanks to Endo Wataru's volley from outside the penalty area. This corner kick was also taken by Endo Wataru.

"Just give me this one!"

Inside the penalty area, Jiang Yuan hugged Japanese defender Tsukasa Shiotani. The Japanese team's players were generally of average height, but Tsukasa Shiotani was an exception, with a height of 1 meters, only 82cm shorter than Jiang Yuan.

The Chinese team's corner kick defense tactics are also relatively simple, that is, let Jiang Yuan defend the Japanese player with the strongest heading ability, and the others also defend one by one. The specific defense targets are assigned by Li Shubin.

Snapped!
"Endo Wataru, take the corner kick and send it to the front point. The Japanese team wants to deliberately avoid Jiang Yuan's position!"

"Asano Takuma, jump up! Hey, Asano Takuma's height doesn't have an advantage, the first penalty kick was taken by Mi Haolun"

"Mi Haolun, protect the ball and pass it to Wang Dalei behind!"

"There is nothing wrong with the Chinese team's thinking. Let Wang Dalei lead the counterattack!"

At the moment Mi Haolun jumped, Jiang Yuan and Wu Lei had already determined that the ball was safe, so they ran out directly. When Wang Dalei got the ball, Jiang Yuan had already run more than 30 meters.

"Give it directly to Jiang Yuan!"

Zhang Linpeng urged from the side. Of course, without waiting for Zhang Linpeng's reminder, Wang Dalei also knew what to do. He just held the ball, bypassed Asano Takuma and ran to the front of the penalty area.

"Muroya-kun, watch him!"

"Minano-kun, be careful!"

Oshima Ryota gave a reminder near the center circle, and the Japanese players immediately rushed towards Jiang Yuan. Within a few seconds, there were people behind and on both sides of Jiang Yuan.

Putting aside Japan's overall defensive level, the Japanese players' attitude towards marking Jiang Yuan is absolutely serious.

Even a fool knows that if Jiang Yuan gets the ball, the Japanese team’s goal will basically be GG.

After observation, Wang Dalei gave up the idea of ​​passing the ball to Jiang Yuan, and threw the ball with force, accurately delivering it to Wu Lei.

If we talk about it, it has to be Wang Dalei, who is worth 70 euros, and this throw alone is worth 20 euros!

"Wow!"

"Wu Lei, find Jiang Yuan, find Jiang Yuan quickly!"

Wu Lei got the ball near the right sideline, and the Chinese fans in the stands immediately began to direct the attack. As soon as Wu Lei got the ball, Oshima Ryota ran over and prepared to defend Wu Lei alone, but Wu Lei was smart and stepped on the ball to stop immediately, avoiding a direct confrontation with Oshima Ryota.

Afterwards, Wu Lei passed the ball to Yang Kuo who came to the middle to receive the ball, and the latter passed it forward without stopping.

"Jiang Yuan! Got the ball! But the Japanese defense has retreated."

"Hey, Japan's defense just now was really good. If Jiang Yuan didn't have so many defensive players around him at the first moment, Wang Dalei would definitely have gone straight to Jiang Yuan. At that time, Jiang Yuan was almost at the offside line in the Japanese backcourt. If he got the ball at that position, with Jiang Yuan's personal ability, he would definitely be able to run a single shot..."

"Hey, wait! There seems to be an opportunity in this position too. Let's see how the Chinese team attacks this time!"

"The two central defenders of the Japanese team are retreating, Jiang Yuan is dribbling forward alone, Liu Binbin is still behind, Wu Lei is on the right, and now Wu Lei is the deepest player of the Chinese team!"

"Jiang Yuan, make an arc with the outside of your foot and pass it directly to Wu Lei!"

"Pretty!"

All the Chinese fans in the stands stood up. In the camera, Jiang Yuan's pass with the outside of his right foot formed an arc that rotated to the right, bypassing Ueda Naoto and arriving at Wu Lei's feet on the right. The latter received the ball on the offside line.

"Get in!"

Jiang Yuan shouted as he ran forward, Wu Lei understood and rushed to the baseline. Ueda Naoto was tall and ran slowly, so he was overtaken by Wu Lei without noticing. After reaching the baseline, Wu Lei changed direction and suddenly walked into the penalty area. The famous player from Haigang also pretended to shoot with his right leg, then adjusted his step and directly passed an inverted triangle.

Jiang Yuan rode his horse to the top of the arc.

Wu Lei is setting up a defense for Jiang Yuan!

boom!
Jiang Yuan's powerful right-foot shot hit the bottom of the left post of the goal heavily, bounced into the net.

Goalkeeper Kosuke Nakamura was in a very good position, but unfortunately, his reaction was still a beat too slow.

“GOOO—LLLLLLLLL—OOOOOOOO!!!!”

"Jiang Yuan!"

"Jiang Yuan scored with a powerful shot from outside the box, and the Chinese team scored the first goal!"

"1:0, the Chinese team took the lead in less than 20 minutes!"

"Oh my god, this is a dream start for the Chinese team!"

Immediately after scoring the goal, Jiang Yuan rushed to the home team's stands and roared, completely igniting the Chinese fans at the scene.

"Brilliant!"

"Fuck! Jiang Yuan, you're awesome! Kill these Japanese!"

“China is awesome! Wuhu, take off!”

Chinese fans were a little excited. Jiang Yuan used the goal just now to tell everyone that after defeating Brazil, he immediately regained his form.

The 1:4 defeat is now a thing of the past, the current score is... 1:0!

For the players and fans of the Chinese team, this game is quite special. It is the bronze medal match and the opponent is Japan. In any case, there is no reason for the Chinese Olympic team to lose.

At this time, in front of the Chinese team's bench, Li Yi and Li Shubin smiled at each other. What they were most worried about was Jiang Yuan's condition in this game. Now it seems that Jiang Yuan's condition has adjusted back.

Then the Japanese National Olympic Team definitely has no chance!
【Go China! 】

[This wave of cooperation was well played. I, Wu Qiuwang, was stunned for a while. I really didn't expect the inverted triangle. And Jiang Yuan's long shot outside the penalty area, the rebound ball in the dead corner, was simply outrageous! ]

[Haha, the Japanese goalkeeper must be confused. Even Buffon can't save this ball. This is an absolute blind spot! ]

[??? With this ability to adjust his state, is Xiao Jiang really only 18 years old? ]

[There is nothing to be sad about. Losing to Brazil is not Jiang Yuan's fault. Jiang Yuan has done very well. Brazil is indeed strong. There is nothing we can do about it. Beating Portugal is beyond my expectation.]

[Come on, maybe we’ll have a chance to see Chinese football win a medal at the Olympics]

[Don't open the champagne, their daily life is also quite good. To be honest, Endo Wataru and Minamino Takumi are really awesome]

[No matter how awesome he is, can he be more awesome than Xiao Jiang? Kill him immediately! ]

【Sprint ahh ...

[Mori Yasuichi was showing off in the pre-match interview, but he was slapped in the face in less than 20 minutes. It made me laugh to death. What do you mean Chinese football is regressing? With Jiang Yuan, how far can we regress? ]

[As long as we beat Japan and win the bronze medal, I will never criticize Chinese football in my life]

In the early morning of Beijing time, the Dongqiudi APP crashed due to too many real-time online users and commentators.

There was no way. The game was so popular that few Chinese fans were sleeping. They all lay in bed watching the game.

It is said that China's Olympic medal list is dominated by swimming, table tennis, gymnastics, shooting, diving and weightlifting. In this Olympics, football will also have to stand out!
Under the expectant gaze of Chinese fans, the game came to the 32nd minute. The technical company gave the ball possession rate in the past 15 minutes. The Chinese team had only 40% of the ball possession rate, but the number of shots on target was one more than that of the Japanese team.

boom!
On the left side of the Chinese team, Shi Ke cooperated with Chang Feiya, using their bodies to block Minamino Takumi, forcing the latter to lose possession of the ball, and the ball naturally came to Wang Tong's feet.

"Give it to me!"

Xie Pengfei on the right ran over to respond, took the ball, turned around, looked up, and directly found Yang Kuo in front of the center. After completing the transfer, he sprinted forward.

"Good cooperation. The Chinese team passed the ball very smoothly. Yang Kuo passed it to Liu Binbin. It was a straight pass. Liu Binbin walked forward with the ball."

"Jiang Yuan is looking for an opportunity on the left! Endo Hang is defending, Jiang Yuan stops suddenly and speeds up!"

"Successfully got rid of Endo Hang! Jiang Yuan's acceleration was very fast, getting rid of Endo Hang, Liu Binbin, pass the ball!"

"Pass it to Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan is at the bottom line, facing Kamekawa Ryoshi. Kamekawa Ryoshi is under a lot of pressure right now. He is signaling his teammates to come over and help."

"Hiss - defending Jiang Yuan alone is indeed a bit stressful. Let's see how Kamekawa Ryoshi handles it."

The camera was focused on the right bottom line of the Japanese team. Jiang Yuan dribbled the ball into the penalty area little by little. Liu Binbin ran over, and Wu Lei filled Liu Binbin's position in the middle.

The Chinese team's offensive intention was very clear, which was to concentrate on attacking the left side. Japan's main defense was also on the Chinese team's left side. As a result, the Chinese team's left side was now full of people, with three Japanese players trapping Jiang Yuan.

"Nima's!"

Jiang Yuan cursed inwardly, and after thinking, Jiang Yuan dribbled the ball forward, leaning sideways to protect the ball, facing the defense of Kamekawa Ryoshi and Minamino Takumi, and rushed directly between the two.

As expected, Jiang Yuan was brought down and used his body to create a free kick.

"Brother Fei!"

Jiang Yuan stood up and called Xie Pengfei.

There are three things Jiang Yuan doesn't do when taking free kicks.

The indirect free kick was not taken because Jiang Yuan’s heading ability was better than that of crossing.

Don't take a free kick if the position is not good. If the position is not good and a direct shot is useless, then this direct free kick is no different from an indirect free kick and will not be taken.

Don't play when you are not in good shape. If you are not in good shape, what's the point of playing?

This free kick triggered the second rule, so Jiang Yuan definitely would not take it.

"Yang Kuo and Xie Pengfei are standing behind the free kick spot. Let's see the quality of this free kick by the Chinese team..."

"Jiang Yuan passed the ball to the front point and got rid of the Japanese team's defense, but this position is not very good."

"Jiang Yuan! Didn't choose to shoot! Jiang Yuan passed the ball to the back post"

"Wu Lei, outside, kick!"

"Hey! Wu Lei missed the ball!"

Grass!
The camera turned to Wu Lei on the right side of the penalty area. At this time, Wu Lei held his head with both hands, looking very regretful.

It was originally a top-down shot. Wu Lei wanted to use the instep of his foot to volley the ball, but he didn't find the right position, and the instep shot turned into an outside instep shot, which directly hit the ball out of the baseline.

Wu Lei himself felt very guilty. He could feel that he was indeed a little weak in such a large-scale event.

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

Jiang Yuan shouted twice, signaling Wu Lei not to lose his form because of this ball and to quickly return to defense. The latter sighed and started running to the backcourt.

"Well, it can be seen that Wu Lei's shooting skills in this Olympics are really not that good"

"In fact, even though the Chinese team is leading now, the situation on the field is still similar between the two teams. Because did you notice that Liao Lisheng's absence has a great impact on the Chinese team?"

"Yang Kuo is a good player, but he is better at controlling the ball rather than passing it from midfield to the front court."

"Because Jiang Yuan on the left is a explosive player, he needs a risky through ball, not a pass at his feet. If the ball is passed at his feet, the time Jiang Yuan takes to adjust is the time the Japanese defensive players take to retreat."

As the official commentators of CCTV, He Wei and Huang Jianxiang's analysis of the game situation was very accurate.

According to their analysis, the Chinese team is not in a situation where they are sure to win, so the players still need to be cautious.

In the quarter-finals, the Japanese team caught up with the score after falling behind!

"Go back to the backcourt first, don't be in a hurry, be steady when you get the ball!"

Li Yi was shouting from the sidelines, and his opinion was the same as the two commentators.

One word, steady!

However, the stability that everyone is talking about refers to the stability in the backcourt. The Chinese team led by Jiang Yuan is still as aggressive as ever in the frontcourt.

"Come on, just give it to me!"

Jiang Yuan retreated and took the ball from Yang Kuo. Then Jiang Yuan decisively turned around with the ball and made a straight pass to the left bottom line. The angle of the pass was average, but Shi Ke still successfully got it.

After the stoppage, Shi Ke started his one-on-one battle with Ryoshi Kamekawa at the baseline.

In this Olympics, the Chinese team successfully dribbled past the defense 23 times, 22 of which were from Jiang Yuan and 1 from Wu Lei. Obviously, for other players, Olympic-level 1v1 on the wing is still a bit difficult.

Of course, the other players have nothing to worry about, as everyone knows what to expect when encountering this situation.

Go find Jiang Yuan directly!
Snapped!
Shi Ke pretended to break through the baseline, but actually made an inverted triangle pass to Jiang Yuan who came up to respond. After getting the ball, the latter used his body to push Endo Wataru away and went straight to the middle.

Liu Binbin was very smart, running directly into the penalty area to support Jiang Yuan, while Wu Lei was a conservative point on the right. The two people's running positions successfully gave Jiang Yuan a 1v2 opportunity at the top of the arc.

Facing the defense of two high school defenders, Shiotani Tsukasa and Ueda Naoto, Jiang Yuan handled the situation in a very violent way, which was to keep changing directions and use his agility to pose a threat to the Japanese team's defense.

clap clap!

Jiang Yuan moved sideways, alternating between his left and right feet. At the same time, he stared at the hips of Shioya Tsukasa and Ueda Naoto. When the Japanese defender moved his center of gravity, Jiang Yuan changed direction and stepped directly on the white line outside the penalty area.

"Stick to him, stick to him!"

Goalkeeper Kosuke Nakamura sounded a little nervous. Of course, he was definitely not the only one who was nervous. Facing Jiang Yuan, the entire Japanese team was under a lot of pressure.

"Jiang Yuan, go into the restricted area by yourself!"

"Wu Lei is on the right, Xie Pengfei has run to the left baseline, we can pass to either the left or the right"

"Choose to do it yourself! Jiang Yuan, from the outside, just shoot a cold shot!"

"Wow! The Japanese goalkeeper made a brilliant save to block Jiang Yuan's cold shot."

"But after the ball bounced back, it landed at Jiang Yuan's feet again."

"Take a follow-up shot yourself!"

“GOOOOO—LLLLLLLLLL—OOOOOOOOOO!!!”

"Um gol do número 7 Jiang Yuan da seleo chinesa!"

"2:0!"

"2:0!"

I don't know if it was a special arrangement by the organizers, but the commentator gave the Chinese team enough face. After Jiang Yuan scored twice, the commentator was almost shouting hysterically.

"China!"

Boom!

"China!"

Boom!

The Chinese fans at the Mineirão Stadium raised their hands high, opening and closing them, and cheered for the players on the field.

In the camera, Jiang Yuan led the Chinese players on the field to the outside.

After standing still, he started practicing Tai Chi.

Every time Jiang Yuan practiced Tai Chi, the live director would give a close-up shot, but this time the director's behavior was very strange, he actually cut the shot!
At the top of the home team's stands, a middle-aged couple was holding a super large photo frame. It was a black and white photo of a young man carrying a rifle.

Obviously, this is a posthumous photo.

As for the origin of this posthumous photo...behind the middle-aged couple, seven or eight fans held up two banners.

The first banner reads: Grandfather Jiang Zhengxian served as deputy captain of the 1941th Anti-Japanese Armed Forces of Qingshan City, China in .

Then there is the second banner. The content on it is very easy to understand, which seems to conflict with the formal occasions such as banners. The content is:
[Kick well, I'm watching you from the sky]

"I wipe..."

After practicing Tai Chi, Jiang Yuan also noticed the situation at the top of the stands.

Aren’t these his parents?
His younger brother Jiang Hao also came.

No, I haven’t seen you for a month, and you’re already doing such a big thing?

I don’t know who came up with this idea, but the key is that Jiang Shengping and Dong Huiqing actually listened to it.

"Hahaha!"

“Wuhu, so awesome!”

"Invincible! Wuhu!"

"Go China!"

“Hahahaha, shit, that’s awesome!”

The Chinese fans at the scene laughed out loud, making the Japanese fans next door a little confused.

From their perspective, Chinese fans brought out a deceased person's photo, hung two banners, and then all the players went wild.

In the commentary booth, He Wei and Huang Jianxiang looked at each other, and both of them looked a little confused.

"This, this, this..."

"Ahem, we just got the news that the middle-aged couple holding the black and white photo at the top of the stands are the parents of Jiang Yuan, an athlete from the Chinese delegation, and the little boy next to them is Jiang Yuan's younger brother."

"Then there's the content in the photo. It's already written on the banner, so Coach Huang and I won't go into too much detail here. I have to say... the person who came up with this way of cheering is truly a talent."

"Hey! Teacher He Wei, Jiang Yuan has already scored two goals before the first half is over. Do you think Jiang Yuan's excellent shooting skills today have anything to do with the help from the stands?"

“Then there must be a connection.”

He Wei laughed: "The ancestors are watching from heaven, if you lose you will be removed from the family tree."
