After the men's basketball group stage ends on August 8, the Chinese men's basketball team will have a three-day break. The quarter-finals will restart on August 23, while the semi-finals of the men's football team will begin on August 8. In a certain sense, Liu Han staggered the time of the game.

After defeating the Australian team, the Men's National Olympic Team once again became the focus of domestic media and even the world media.

In the history of the Olympic Games, three countries have defended the Olympic men's football champions. They are England in 1908 and 1912, Uruguay in 1924 and 1928, and Hungary in 1964 and 1968. , but the defending records of these years are really nothing. In this era when the earth is getting smaller and countries are getting closer and closer, the development of football is like a big explosion of information, so the competitive level of modern football and There is a huge difference in the intensity of the confrontation compared to decades ago. After entering the 80s of the last century, no country has ever been able to defend the Olympic men's football champion. This shows the globalization of football to a certain extent. develop.

Now, after winning the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the Chinese Men's National Olympic Team has once again broken into the semi-finals of this Olympic Games. The successful defending Olympic team.

The opponent of the Chinese Olympic team in the semi-finals will be Paraguay from South America.

Paraguay is one of the few countries that has not established diplomatic relations with China so far. The presence of this country in the world is very small, and even some people in China often confuse this country with Uruguay.

Paraguay's football started very early, and the Paraguay team participated in the first World Cup in history. However, in the powerful South America, the Paraguay team, like his country, also has a weak sense of presence.

The most well-known star in Paraguay is Chilavert. The bold style of the goalkeeper who can score the most goals is well known by the world football.

In addition to Chilavert, the Paraguayan stars that Chinese fans can know are Santa Cruz and Gampos. The former is now playing for the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, while the latter was a foreign player who dominated the A-League. He won the honor of Chinese Footballer in 1997 and is well known by fans in Beijing.

However, there are no well-known stars in the Paraguayan Olympic team this year. Chilavert has already retired, and Santa Cruz, who is of the right age, is absent due to injuries.

Facing an opponent they are not very familiar with, what the Chinese team has to do is to be cautious and careful, but although Paraguay has successfully advanced to the semi-finals, their defense has a big problem. The Paraguay team was twice broken by the South Korean team. If it weren't for the strong striker, it might be the South Korean team that advanced to the semi-finals.

比赛在雅典当地时间8月24日21点开始，此时BJ时间已经是8月25日凌晨两点了。

After the start of the game, the Paraguayan team kicked off first. Their players have good footwork skills, but they are not much better than the Chinese team. In terms of physical fitness, the Paraguayan players are generally more flexible, but they are not tall. The line of defense is not a big problem as long as there are no major accidents.

The Paraguayan team also invested a lot of troops in the midfield. Their offensive style is still the ground-based offense of the South American team, and the cooperation between the players is quite tacit.

At the very beginning, the Chinese team did not compete strongly with the opponent in the midfield. Both Liu Han and Zheng Zhi retreated to defend, and the Chinese team was always on the defensive.

After 10 minutes, the Chinese team gradually adapted to the opponent's game rhythm, and at the same time had a certain understanding of the Paraguayan team's style. Then, under the adjustment of Liu Han, the Chinese team's formation began to expand, and the midfield competition began. It became intense.

The Paraguayan team has been trying to control the ball, but their passing is not impeccable. The midfielder composed of Liu Han and Zheng Zhi has a very good blocking ability.

After winning the ball, the Chinese team's offense began.

The two sides were completely separated, Cheng Tao also gave up his position, and Liu Han began to use his speed and physical advantages to ravage Paraguay's midfield.

Facing the extremely powerful Liu Han, the Paraguay team had to strengthen their defense, and in this case, the Chinese team had more chances on the wing.

Compared with the previous game against Australia, the Chinese team's offense in this game was mostly launched from the two wings. The two wingers frequently went to the bottom, and Liu Han and Zhang Yuning were outflanked in the middle. The Chinese team has an advantage in height .

In the 303rd minute of the game, it was Yu Tao who made a pass from the bottom. Zhang Yuning took off and rubbed in the first point, and Cheng Tao shoveled the goal in the second point.

The Paraguayan goalkeeper struggled to save the ball, but before the ball flew out of the penalty area, Liu Han followed up with a supplementary shot. The Paraguay team was weak and the Chinese team took a one-goal lead.

After losing the ball, the Paraguay team began to organize a violent counterattack, but they did not have a strong center forward, and the ground penetration had to face Liu Han and Zheng Zhi's interception, and the Paraguay team's offense came to a standstill.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team kept a one-goal lead.

In the second half, at the beginning of the game, the Paraguay team took advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese team's unstable foothold to play a wonderful cooperation. In the penalty area, Xu Hai lost his position and pulled down the Paraguay forward.

After equalizing the score, the Paraguayan team's offense became more violent, and they tried to overtake the score in one go.

But the Chinese team was not discouraged, but took advantage of the opportunity of Paraguay's attacking too hard and too far to play a quick counterattack.

After Liu Han steals the ball from the backcourt, he makes a long pass to the left side of the frontcourt. Cheng Tao makes a diagonal stab and catches the ball outside the penalty area.

Facing the double-teaming of the Paraguayan team, the young Cheng Tao did not panic. After he stabilized the ball, he made a fake breakthrough, but at the moment of sudden acceleration, he used his toes to pass the ball to the middle.

Zhang Yuning, who was keeping up with the ball in the middle, took a long shot. The goalkeeper of the Paraguay team couldn't make a save. The Chinese team surpassed the score again in the No. 60 minute of the second half.

After 10 minutes, the Chinese team once again took advantage of the opportunity of the Paraguay team's rush to play a wonderful match.

Liu Han sent an overhead ball at high speed, Zhang Yuning broke into the penalty area and was pulled down by the Paraguayan defender, and the Chinese team also got a penalty kick.

Liu Han did his part to send the ball into the goal of the Paraguayan team, and the Chinese team secured the victory of the game.

In the end, relying on Liu Han's brace, the Chinese team defeated Paraguay [-]-[-] and entered the men's football final of the Olympic Games. Their opponent will be the talented Argentine team.
