Chapter 192 The Heart of a Champion The South Korean team whose head was kicked by a donkey? !
After losing the game, Honduras coach Yearwood was convinced that he lost——
"Our players performed well. Italy? Their experience helped them win games and take the initiative."

However, Honduras coach Yearwood's last words were still unwilling to admit that the team was completely defeated by——
"Andre's performance is completely at the level of the European Cup finals!! If I also have an Andre..."

In fact, the headline of Gazzetta dello Sport can be used as the answer to the question of Honduras coach Mr. Yearwood——
"Without a head coach, I don't want to have Andre! ! "

"Among the cheers of the Chinese fans, Andre staged a perfect fairy tale drama. This is Andre's moment...Giovanco and Andre's cooperation will definitely make Ranieri very upset...Of course, Perhaps, Donadoni is also reflecting, if he gives this talented player a little more trust in the European Cup..."

Winning! !

It was still a 3-0 victory, and the head coach of the Italian Olympic team, Casiraghi, would not begrudge his words of praise——
"Andre? His performance is world-class!! There are three world-class players in this Olympic Games (Xiang Nan, Messi. Ronaldinho), which was unimaginable before, and the final Champions?!! Italy is of course the favourites, we have a lot of good talent, Giovinco is good, and of course, the Rossi guys."

*******
After the end of the first round of the match day, the tycoons made their appearances one after another.

The Brazilian Olympic team, which debuted at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center, has Ronaldinho and Pato's five-star Brazil. So far, it has not won an Olympic men's football championship. The match against the Belgian team, Brazil The team achieved a result of 'nothing but the score'.In the end, with the goal of the Brazilian rising star Hernanes, known as "New Pirlo", Brazil beat the European Little Red Devils 1-0.

In another biggest focus battle of this round, the Chinese Olympic team also made their debut. In the end, with the goal of substitute striker Dong Fangzhuo, the host Chinese team tenaciously drew with the 'mighty' New Zealand.

In another match in Group C where Italy is located, Cameroon, which has the genes of Olympic men's football, shouted out the goal of winning the championship before coming to BJ, directly ignoring Brazil, Argentina and Italy. In the end, in the At the QHD Olympic Sports Center Stadium, the Cameroonians were embarrassingly tied 1:1 by the equally arrogant South Koreans.

In the 8-person stadium in Shanghai, Argentina, with Riquelme and Messi, defeated Côte d'Ivoire 2:1, and staged a wonderful battle for the fans.

*******
QHD is close to the Bohai Sea. Early in the morning, the sun gradually rises from the sea level in the east. The rising sun casts a fiery red shadow on the earth. You can even feel the sound of waves hitting the shore, and the sea breeze Come, with a hint of the salty taste of the ocean.

The temperature in QHD is about 30 degrees Celsius, but the humidity is as high as 96%. This is a typical sauna day, which makes people a little unbearable. Stopping in the south, wiping the sweat with a towel, twisting hard, there is a bang, and a large water marks on the beach.

Taking a deep breath, I have gotten used to the taste of the QHD sea breeze, and even liked this feeling a little bit, Xiangnan continued to run along the stadium, the sun was rising, and the shadow of Xiangnan was drawn long and danced happily with.

*******
This is the standardized stadium of QHD No. [-] Middle School. It is now the training place for the Italian Olympic team. Xiang Nan came here early in the morning for running training. Getting up early and running is a habit Xiang Nan has developed since he was a child. If he chooses this kind of training to improve his speed and strengthen his physique, then, now, Xiang Nan can persevere and get up and run every day, more out of his own self-discipline. His own fighting spirit, he needs to maintain a strong fighting spirit every day! !

"Come on south!!" The old gatekeeper of No. [-] Middle School greeted the south. The school is already on holiday, and only he and a few security guards are left behind. However, the arrival of the Italian Olympic team makes the original quiet The campus began to be lively.

At the gate of the school, countless guns and short cannons were waiting at the gate. If the security guards arranged by the school and the Olympic Organizing Committee hadn't stopped them, the reporters would have rushed in.

In the eyes of the gatekeeper, the young man who trains hard not far away does not look like a big star. It is not uncommon for the old man to have seen domestic football stars. Once, a Chinese Super League club came to QHD for training. Training in school, the old man looks at those stars, which one is not arrogant...
*******
Xiang Nan didn't expect that an ordinary extra practice of his own would also attract a large number of reporters.

The towel was already soaked with sweat, Xiang Nan twisted it hard, wiped his face, and was ready to go back to the hotel, and it was time for the team to assemble.

Seeing Xiang Nan approaching, the group of reporters began to commotion, and everyone handed over microphones and recorders to Nan.

He took a towel soaked in ice water and wiped his face. A cool feeling stimulated every pore and gave off a refreshing feeling.

"Xiang Nan, what do you think of the next game against South Korea?"

"The South Korean team drew with Cameroon, which is aiming to win the championship, in the first game! Do you have confidence in the next game?"

Reporters swarmed forward, and security personnel tensed up.

"The South Korean team played well in the first game. However, for the game against them, we have only one goal, which is to win. We use two victories to determine the qualifying places in advance. The last game against Cameroon will be It's tough."

"Xiang Nan, do you have anything to say about the result of the match between the Chinese team and New Zealand?" A reporter with glasses struggled to hand over the microphone.

Xiang Nan was slightly taken aback. He knew that this question was difficult to answer. When he came to QHD for the competition, Xiang Nan had an exclusive interview with Lin Han, a reporter from "Sports Weekly". After the interview, Lin Han, as a friend, privately Tell Xiang Nan not to express any opinion on the Chinese team's game, because Xiang Nan's identity is too sensitive.

In Lin Han's words, no matter what the performance of the Chinese Olympic team is, Xiang Nan's words will not work! !

In fact, Xiang Nan really didn't intend to express his views on the Chinese Olympic team. He didn't know much about the team, except that he had contact with a commercial competition in BJ Workers' Sports.

At this time, the security personnel had already opened the road to the south and quickly left the training ground, got into the car arranged by the organizing committee, and drove towards the QHD Hotel.

*******

"Our South Korean team's defense is not as good as Italy's, that's for sure, but in comparison, our advantage over Italy lies in our offense, so for this game, our goal is only One, Attack!! Attack!! Victory!! 3 points!!!”

"The goal of the South Korean team in this Olympic Games? We want to enter the semi-finals. Of course, getting a medal is the bottom line. A gold medal? Why not?"

"Andre? He is a good shooter. Of course, we already have a way to deal with Andre!!"

"This Olympics, the top scorer should be South Korea's Park Joo-young!! He is simply a genius!!"

The first thought of journalists from various countries at the press conference was——
Either I'm crazy, I heard it wrong, or the head of the Korean was kicked by a donkey...

The reporters are sure that they are not crazy, so the conclusion is...
