The Olympic men's football group stage is divided into three rounds.
Argentina's first two rounds were played at the Qianhu Sports Center, and only the third round match against Cote d'Ivoire was held at the Yanjing Workers Stadium.
There is no need to fly back and forth, which is quite comfortable. Moreover, Lao Ma also gave the whole team two days off.
Yes, two days off.
Mainly, Chen Mo and Xiao Ma need a better rest environment.
There is nothing you can do, 424 pairs of double midfielders consume too much physical energy.
Although Chen Mo and Xiao Ma are both physically capable, there is no winter break in the Premier League.
From August last year to now, not counting the rest days after the game, Chen Mo and Xiao Ma have just rested for less than a month between the end of the Champions League and the training camp, and they have to take over again immediately after the Olympics. New season.
This kind of continuous rotation causes the fatigue value to accumulate. It usually seems to be fine, but once it reaches the critical point, it will suddenly explode.
This is also why some players fall to the ground without confrontation on the court. This is mainly due to the accumulation of fatigue and excessive muscle strain that has exceeded the critical point.
If you want to avoid this kind of thing, firstly, you must get a good rest, and secondly, it is best to get some massage or something.
Ever since, during the two days of rest after playing against the Japanese team, Chen Mo felt both pain and happiness.
He often lies face down on the sofa while watching the Olympic Games, and then the paunchy Yuechi Kaoru rides on his back for massage.
It was summer, and he was at home again, wearing little clothing. Chen Mo could clearly feel the shape and temperature of the other person, but the problem was.
Yesterday, although Chen Mo let go in the second half, he still did a terrible job for the Japanese team.
If Japanese men are not good enough, Japanese daughters will naturally have to find their place again.
Yuechi Xun used to practice karate, and his hands were stronger than those of the masters in massage parlors. He applied various massage oils, rubbed his back to warm it up, and pressed it directly to Chen Mo, grinning.
Especially the pectineal muscle, which made Chen Mo scream. However, Yue Chixun was pregnant again, and he didn't dare to move vigorously while riding on her. In the end, he could only bite the pillow with tears in his eyes.
After all, it was during the Olympic Cup, so the three of them were not too ridiculous.
Most of the time, Chen Mo was lifting irons in front of the TV. Two girls who had just taken a shower, wearing curlers in their hair and facial masks, sat cross-legged on the sofa and ate watermelon with a spoon while watching the Olympic Games.
Of all the Olympic events, the one that interests Chen Mo the most is naturally basketball.
If the big devil of this year's Olympic men's football team is Argentina, then the big devil of the Olympic men's basketball team is the "Dream Eight" team of the United States.
This American men's basketball team has Howard, Bosh, Anthony, James, Wade, Kobe, Paul, Williams and Kidd.
From center to point guard, except for Duncan at the power forward position, they are basically the best in the world.
And what’s interesting is that on TV, the opponents of this American Dream Team are led by Yao Ming and include Wang Zhizhi, Du Feng, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, and the first and only NBA and CBA double champion in history-Sun Joy.
Basketball indeed has a larger domestic audience than football.
There is no doubt that this game directly created a terrifying scene of empty streets. Everyone squatted at home to watch the game, and there was no one on the street at all.
But to be honest, the strength gap between the two sides is still relatively large.
Looking at Yao Ming being double-teamed on the TV, Chen Mo sighed and shook his head.
Basketball is different from football.
Basketball is a game where goals are constantly scored back and forth, and the scores are usually around three digits. Victory is accumulated one goal after another, rather than the final word in football, so it is difficult to have a trigger like Saudi Arabia's victory over Argentina. The world was shocked and shocked.
Saudi Arabia seized two opportunities to score in the second half, and was beaten directly by Argentina. But basketball is different. You can steal two, or even steal ten, and you can still chase after you. When the gap in strength is too large, the probability of upset is high. Very small.
And as the birthplace of basketball, the United States is naturally much better than the domestic level. In the end, when Chen Mo was sweating from lifting the iron and preparing to take a shower, the score was fixed at 70-101.
Losing 30 points, it seemed like a big defeat, but netizens were actually in a good mood.
The U.S. men's basketball team had a double-digit advantage over anyone they beat, and when they beat Germany, they outscored them 106-57.
Being fucked for only 30 minutes is acceptable to many basketball fans in the country. Some media even claim that this is the day when the Dragon Kingdom men's basketball team is about to bottom out and rebound. There will definitely be opportunities to overtake in the future!
Overtaking on a curve
To be honest, Chen Mo felt that it was not shameful for the Longguo men's basketball team to be beaten for thirty points, but it was nonsense to talk about bottoming out and overtaking in corners.
Just ask a simple question.
How many people across the country know how basketball can be promoted in the country, or in other words, how can one become a professional basketball player?
Should I sign up or submit a resume, be recruited by school or social recruitment, join a training camp or what?
Most ordinary people don't even know where the gate of an industry is, and how this industry can develop.
In Chen Mo's view, if this kind of influential sports project does not have a large number of practitioners as a foundation, it is necessary to select the best from the best and to recruit top talents. There is a high probability that Longguo basketball will sink into the same sinking state as football.
The men's basketball team was beaten for thirty points, but in other events, Long Guo was still quite strong.
Guo Jingjing and Wu Minxia won the gold medal in the women's synchronized diving competition.
Keli and Yueji Xun didn't pay much attention to the gold medal, but they were very interested in Guo Wu's fair and supple skin after long-term swimming. The next day they bought a large inflatable swimming pool and placed it on the third floor balcony. .
Sunshine, beauties, cats, dogs.
To be honest, having a pool party on the balcony was quite fun, but unfortunately, the two girls misjudged the terrifying ultraviolet rays in Qianhu City in August.
After a day of fun, the two of them turned into Latina beauties.
Especially at night when the three of them were lying on the bed watching TV, under the dim light, Keli and Yuechixun's bodies were black and white, and they looked, well, more astringent.
A little excited.
However, the match against Belgium was tomorrow, and it wasn't too noisy. After the double cannon, the three of them fell asleep, and the only sound left in the room was the sound of the dog lying on the air-conditioned floor and sighing.
.
The next day, the sun was scorching.
Today is Argentina vs. Belgium, and the national football team vs. Brazil.
There is no doubt that these are two very focused battles.
"Chen Mo! Chen Mo! Chen Mo!"
"Messi! Messi! Messi!"
The first match was between Argentina and Belgium. The match time was at five o'clock in the afternoon, but before two o'clock, the surrounding area of Qianhu Stadium was already filled with surging crowds. Many people paraded there carrying the flags of Argentina, Arsenal, or Barcelona.
"The scorching sun of August, the sunshine of Qianhu Lake. This feeling makes me feel warm and happy, my friends, and my elbows are gradually exuding the fragrance of roasted pig skin.
Haha, just kidding. Welcome to the Fan Show channel, I am your old friend Li Qiang!
By the way, you can tell from the sweat stains on my chest that Qianhu is really hot, humid and hot. but! You can see behind me now. Even under the bright sun at two o'clock in the afternoon in August, the entrance of Qianhu Sports Center is already surrounded by countless fans.
No wonder everyone says Qianhu is one of the football cities with the hottest temperatures and the hottest fan atmosphere. Now that I see it, it is indeed well-deserved. Next, let's go interview local fans. Hello, I am doing football interviews. Is it convenient for me to interview you? "
The sun was blazing and the cicadas were chirping. Li Qiang, wearing Argentina's No. 10 jersey, walked up to a young couple at the corner of the road.
Seeing the microphone, the boy with the Argentinian flag on his face smiled and said, "I've seen you on Tudou. You are the Li Qiang who always makes highlights of Chen Mo's games, right?"
"Haha, I didn't expect to meet a friend who watched my video. Thank you very much for your support. Are you also a fan of Argentina?"
In this era where videos and live broadcasts are just getting started, Li Qiang was very happy to meet his fans. Hearing his words, the boy smiled and said: "I'm not an Argentinian fan, I'm an Arsenal fan. I came here from the Northeast this time mainly because I wanted to see Chen Mo play with my own eyes."
"Oh, you came from the Northeast, so I'm afraid you spent a lot of money on this trip."
"The air tickets are okay, mainly because the tickets are a bit expensive. But it's okay, after all, I want to see Chen Mo play in China, and it's Chen Mo and Messi playing together. This kind of opportunity is too rare."
"Tsk, tsk, I can see that you are indeed a die-hard fan. Now, I wonder what you think of this game?"
Li Qiang handed the microphone to the boy's mouth. The boy pinched his chin, thought and smiled: "I estimate that Argentina will have to score more than four goals. To be honest, the combination of Chen Mo and Messi is a bit of a dimensionality reduction for the Olympic Games. Yes. They were the two best players in the Champions League final last year.
In the last game against Japan, I felt that it was because Chen Mo was playing against the Japanese. In fact, Argentina was already holding back in the second half, but in that case Argentina still scored six goals against the Japanese team. But I feel that Argentina can score a lot of goals, but Belgium will probably score one or two. "
"Oh? What do you say?"
Li Qiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and the boy smiled and said: "Argentina's midfield and frontcourt are very suppressive. They almost played the whole game against the Japanese team in the last game, but their defense players are not strong enough.
Although the two wingers on the Belgian side, Hazard and De Bruyne, are both young, Hazard won the top ten newcomers in Ligue 1 selected by "French Football" last season, and De Bruyne plays in Belgium. Not bad either.
These two will definitely rush into Argentina's weakest defensive wing, so I think Argentina may not be able to defend Belgium. However, Argentina will definitely have a greater advantage in the attack. "
"Haha, I can see that you are indeed a fan of football. So, may I ask this young lady, what do you think the score will be?"
Li Qiang handed the microphone to the boy's girlfriend, who shyly covered half of her face with her handbag and said with a smile: "I think the same thing as him, but I don't really care about the score, as long as Messi can score. .Next season, Messi will definitely steal the Big Ears Cup from Chen Mo! Chen Mo is not the only one in Argentina!"
The girl's cheering sound was a little fierce, and the boy smiled and rolled his eyes. Li Qiang also smiled and said: "It seems that you are a fan of Messi. But this is normal. Messi did perform very well in the Champions League last season. Okay, Then thank you both for accepting our interview, and I wish you a happy day."
"polite."
Smiling and watching the couple go away, Li Qiang looked at the camera, ready to say something more, but at this moment, the already crowded crowd suddenly became restless, and he looked in the direction of the restlessness.
At the end of the road, in the air that was distorted by the heat, a blue and white bus slowly emerged from the ramp.
Argentina is coming.
There was no surprise, even if there was a police car clearing the way, the bus in Argentina still drove very slowly.
Looking at the enthusiastic fans outside the window, Chen Mo, who was wearing headphones, smiled and waved.
However, his thoughts were not here at this time. Looking at the surging crowd outside the window, his mind was all thinking about what Keli said while holding milk when he went out at noon.
[At the club, Kroenke and Maozi are interested in selling their shares. If nothing else happens, I will be able to complete the acquisition of Arsenal before next summer window. 】
Yes, Keli is buying Arsenal.
This is not only because the fans are boycotting Kroenke, but also because Fornolentino is about to be re-elected as Real Madrid president.
Kelly acquires Arsenal and Fornolentino is elected chairman of Real Madrid.
The two things may seem unrelated, but they are closely connected.
In essence, big-name stars only talk about their status in the club. In fact, they are the same concept as the head anchors of those live broadcast platforms.
For live broadcast platforms, head anchors are very critical, because a head anchor will not only bring a large number of viewers to watch this anchor, but also allow viewers to see other anchors on the platform, ultimately retaining the audience.
This logic is the same in the football field.
Arsenal needs to support Chen Mo, because Chen Mo can bring a large audience to the club.
But if the perspective is raised a little higher, for the Premier League, they also need to support Arsenal now, because Arsenal can bring a large number of viewers to the league and can tap more fans in European competitions.
This is actually the same as after Messi left the MLS, many teams that had no exposure before are now frequently searched.
But Arsenal's current top management is in chaos, with recruitment and management being hampered, and Fernolentino will once again be the chairman of Real Madrid.
Many people say that Fornolentino is a real estate businessman, but that is not entirely true.
Fonolentino is a politician. In 1979, he joined the Spanish right-wing party Democratic Center Alliance, then entered the Madrid City Council, and even participated in the Spanish general election.
To put it bluntly, why should people with no political background engage in real estate?
Think about where the raw materials for real estate are, are ordinary people qualified to buy this batch of goods, and are they not allowed to come in even if they are carrying gifts?
Fornolentino is a true political strongman, and he is very powerful in all kinds of methods, especially publicity and momentum. After all, political elections and other things are originally about publicity and momentum to win votes. This is his old profession.
Since 2002 and 2013, Real Madrid has actually had no outstanding results.
During this period, the domestic league was suppressed by Barcelona, and the results in the Champions League were not good. Compared with the Premier League BIG4 and Barcelona at the same time, it was simply incomparable, and Dragon Country only introduced La Liga in 2004.
In other words, most of the early Dragon Country fans had not witnessed Zidane's extraordinary performance in the 2001 Champions League final. Dragon Country fans witnessed Real Madrid at its lowest period, but there were many Real Madrid fans.
Among them, one is Fonolentino's skill.
Secondly, Real Madrid was promoted by the former King of Spain, Franco. Real Madrid was originally called Madrid Football Club.
The word "royal" was added later after being supported by Franco. Therefore, the word "royal" is not a nice word. They represent the Spanish government seriously, and they are also the core group.
The person at the helm has a tough hand and the power behind it is strong. Real Madrid's revival is only a matter of time, and Real Madrid's revival will inevitably take a large part of the cake.
After all, the league's tickets, broadcast fees, and all aspects of the Premier League's economic benefits all come from the league's influence, and the league's influence comes from the clubs, and the club's influence comes from how strong the players are.
The Premier League needs a super team in the league, and this team is Arsenal. The prerequisite for having a super team is that Arsenal must have a stronger lineup!
Therefore, Kroenke and Maozi are not only under pressure from fans, but also from the FA.
No capital can overpower rights.
"If Keli completes the acquisition, the old man will have money to buy people. But in that case, I'm afraid some friends will leave. Forget it, I don't want to."
Looking at the crowded and lively crowd outside the window, Chen Mo sighed slightly.
When he first entered Arsenal, he said goodbye to Bergkamp, Vieira and others, and later said goodbye to Modric, Hummels and Giroud.
Although he didn't like the feeling that there were always people getting off and getting on the bus at the station, he was used to it.
His thoughts were a little dull, but as the bus drove into the back door of the stadium and more and more flashing lights appeared outside the window, Chen Mo suppressed these thoughts in his heart. He stood up, clapped his hands, picked up his boss bag, and looked at Messi next to him. and Di Maria and others in the back seat: "Brothers, it's time to go!"
