Chapter 280 Advance to the Quarterfinals
This time the Asian Games men's football team, the China Olympic team was assigned to Group C.
Also in the same group are the East Timor Olympic Team, the United Arab Emirates Olympic Team and the Syrian Olympic Team.
The time came to August 14th, the day ushered in the first match of the group stage. Li Long led the Chinese Olympic team to challenge the East Timor Olympic team, which was the weakest in the group.
In this game, Li Long set up a 4-4-2 formation, with Li Mingchao and Yuan Yunyue as the double forwards.
The combination of these two people ended the game in only half a game.
In the first half, Li Mingchao scored a hat-trick and Yuan Yunyue also scored a goal.
In the end, the Huaxia Olympic team defeated the East Timor Olympic team 8-0!
The Timor-Leste Olympic team did not pose any threat in the whole game, and the Chinese Olympic team completely crushed and won.
The age gap between the two sides is still not small, and the opponent has overage players.
The Huaxia team didn't rest for too long, only rested for two days.
On August 16th, the second game of the group stage ushered in.
The opponent is the Syrian Olympic team. In the last game, because the main players rested early, the Huaxia team had better physical fitness.
Coupled with the strength gap between the two sides, the Huaxia team still has the advantage.
Compared with the previous game, the Syrian Olympic team is indeed stronger.
But the score gap is still not small. In the end, the Chinese Olympic team defeated the Syrian Olympic team 5-0.
Li Mingchao scored twice and Yuan Yunyue also scored a goal.
Qin Hao also scored two goals, and the China Olympic team ushered in two consecutive victories.
In the second round of the game, there was an upset.
The South Korean Olympic team actually lost to the Malaysian Olympic team. This result was beyond everyone's expectations.
It is completely unreasonable to say that the Korean Olympic team does not pay attention to this event.
Because this time the Korean Olympic team recruited many stars.
For example, striker Huang Yizhu, who played for Gamba Osaka in the J-League, joined Bordeaux in Li Long's previous life.
Central defender Kim Min-jae, who will join Beijing Guoan in the future, will play for Hwang In-beom in Asan, Chungnam.
Forward Hwang Hee-chan of Red Bull Salzburg and Lee Seung-woo of Serie B Verona.
More importantly, Sun Xingmin, who played for Tottenham, also participated in this Asian Games.
It can be said that the South Korean Olympic team has tried its best, aiming at the Asian Games men's football championship.
The main reason why the South Korean Olympic team went to compete for the championship was to avoid military service.
There is military service in South Korea, but if they can win the Asian Games, then this group of players will be exempt from military service.
It’s okay if they are serving in the military in other occupations, but the problem is that they are football players.
Among them, the one who needs the championship most urgently is undoubtedly Sun Xingmin.
Because this time is Sun Xingmin, the last chance to be exempted from military service.
If the South Korean Olympic team does not win the championship this time, Sun Xingmin will go to military service.
You must know that Sun Xingmin is now at his peak. If this is the case, he will serve two years of military service.
It will have a great impact on Sun Xingmin's career, or even directly fall.
In fact, Li Long had thought badly before, whether he should simply recruit the entire main lineup.
This time the men's football team won the Asian Games, so Sun Xingmin had to serve in the military.
This is undoubtedly good news for the Huaxia team.
But Li Long thought about it again. In fact, there is no need, even if the Korean team still has Sun Xingmin.
The strength of the Huaxia team now is definitely worthy of the South Korean team.
And these players are still so young, wait for them to grow up.
The South Korean team couldn't shake the Huaxia team at all, and Li Long wasn't that worried.
So Li Long finally recruited this group of players, and there is not a single star player in this group of players.
Compared with the Japanese Olympic team, the strength is not so exaggerated, but there are also a few good players.
For example, Yasuji Miyoshi and Akira Itakura.
Other than that, there are no other well-known players, which is quite different from the Korean Olympic team.
The South Korean Olympic team is undoubtedly the most luxurious men's football team in this Asian Games.
Three days later, on August 19, we ushered in the last opponent of the group stage, the opponent is the UAE Olympic team.
Li Long made a lot of rotations in this game, after all, the team must have advanced.
The men's football team in the Asian Games is the top two in each group, and the third place in the four best-performing groups advances.
At present, the UAE Olympic team and the Syrian Olympic team in the same group are all 1 win and 1 loss.
Even if the Huaxia Olympic team loses this game, they will advance to the first place in the group because of the goal difference advantage.
After the rotation, the strength of the Huaxia Olympic team has dropped a lot.
This game is undoubtedly the most difficult game so far.
In this game, Li Mingchao was put on the bench, while Yuan Yunyue was the single center forward.
With Ames Mali's goal in the 32nd minute, the UAE Olympic team temporarily took the lead.
This is the first goal conceded by the men's football team and the Chinese Olympic team in this Asian Games.
Fortunately, in the 38th minute, Yuan Yunyue received Qin Hao's cross and scored a header to equalize the score.
In the end, the two sides drew 1-1. Because of the goal difference advantage, the Huaxia Olympic team successfully advanced to the first place in the group.
The opponent of the Chinese Olympic team in the round of 16 is the Saudi Arabian Olympic team.
The Saudi Arabia Olympic team's offense is very good, but their defense is relatively mediocre.
The time came to August 24. Li Long took the China Olympic team to challenge the Saudi Arabian Olympic team.
The game started on time, but there was a problem with the Huaxia Olympic team's defense.
In the 16th and 29th minutes, Kamara and Ali scored successively.
This game was assisted by Huaxia fans, and the performance of the Huaxia Olympic team disappointed them very much.
Fortunately, after losing two goals in a row, the defenders of the Huaxia Olympic team recovered.
Li Mingchao pulled back a goal in the 36th minute, and before the end of the first half, Yuan Yunyue grabbed a point in front of the goal to equalize the score.
Although the opponent scored two goals, the Huaxia team quickly equalized the score.
This has greatly affected the morale of the Saudi Arabian Olympic team. They all thought that this game would not be a big problem.
The game came to the second half. In the 64th minute, left winger Luo Zhe sent a cross.
Li Mingchao scored with a header in the penalty area. Li Mingchao has performed very well no matter whether he is in the National Youth Team or the National Olympic Team.
Especially in this kind of competition, even if he meets a strong team, Li Mingchao is still a first-class existence.
Finally, in the 80th minute, Luo Zhe opened the score to 4-2.
This was also the final score of the game, and the Huaxia Olympic team overtook their opponents and successfully advanced.
The Chinese Olympic team successfully advanced to the quarter-finals, and the opponent in the quarter-finals was the powerful Japanese Olympic team.
