"This afternoon, the last group of members of the Chinese Olympic delegation arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport. The Chinese National Olympic team, which had just achieved a historic breakthrough at the Olympics, also arrived. Nearly a thousand people from all walks of life gave a warm welcome to the triumphant return of the Olympic delegation..."

The evening sports news was broadcasting a story about the return of the Olympic delegation.

The footage showed a dense crowd waiting outside the terminal exit, packing the originally spacious terminal until it was completely watertight.

Many people could be easily identified by their attire – they were fans.

Chinese fans have some very typical characteristics and dress, completely different from the fans who came to welcome the Olympic champions before. They could be distinguished at a glance.

For example, there were fewer young girls among them, and most were middle-aged people over thirty, with dark skin and many with weathered faces.

Most importantly, they were wearing Chinese team jerseys from previous years, white and red, in various styles. It was practically a living display of the Chinese national football team's jerseys.

These people also had face paint and red headbands tied around their foreheads. They held national flags and banners filled with words.

This is the image of the Chinese fan group.

They looked almost like old farmers who were exposed to the sun and rain all day long. Time and the sad history of Chinese football had left indelible marks on them.

When the members of the Olympic delegation appeared at the exit, the crowd cheered, and some went up to offer flowers to the athletes.

But when the Chinese National Olympic team appeared before everyone, the scene exploded, and the cheers suddenly increased.

The waiting fans waved the five-star red flags in their hands, jumped up, and held up the slogans they had prepared.

Someone waved a fist and shouted:

"Long live the Chinese team! Long live China!"

Soon it was echoed by everyone, and the entire terminal reverberated with thunderous shouts.

The momentum startled the players of the National Olympic team. The television camera keenly captured the scene of the players being frightened. They stared blankly at the emotional crowd in front of them, as if they didn't understand what was happening... It's no wonder they didn't respond, because for them, they had never experienced such a scene...

Last year, after the Asian Cup ended, the Chinese national team was also warmly welcomed by fans when they returned home. However, that national team did not include members of this National Olympic team. For the young men of the National Olympic team, today was indeed their first fresh experience in their careers.

Next, the news footage cut to Zhang Linpeng, a player of the National Olympic team, being interviewed. He said into the reporter's microphone: "I'm very happy and excited. I really didn't expect so many people to come and welcome us! Next, whether in the club or in the national team, I will perform well and strive to live up to the fans who support us..."

In the background of his speech, the fans' uniform shouts could still be heard clearly.

After the interview was over, the picture cut back to the fans at the scene, and the news anchor's voice-over sounded: "...The Chinese National Olympic team, except for five players playing in Europe who did not return with the team, all returned triumphantly. I hope the young men of the National Olympic team will continue to work hard. The above is the scene our reporter filmed on the spot today..."

※※※

It was a bit of a pity that the Five Little Dragons were not able to be at the scene to receive the worship of the Chinese fans, but there was no way around it. After the end of the Olympic Games, it was the league, and it was impossible for them to return home.

Moreover, the fans also gave their support, saying that playing well in the club was the most important thing compared to returning home in glory. They hoped that the players would not be affected by the Olympic Games and would be able to maintain a good state in the new season.

The most worrying of these was Sun Pan.

After the Olympic men's football final, news that Sun Pan was injured in the game was revealed by reporters. Everyone then learned that Sun Pan was injured after his amazing three consecutive saves, and that he had repeatedly used only his left hand to block shots from the Japanese team because his right hand was injured.

Later, news came out that Sun Pan's injury was not too serious. It was just a contusion of the middle finger of his right hand, which was not a big deal and would be almost healed after half a month of rest.

But considering that the La Liga would be fully launched in a week, some people were inevitably worried that Sun Pan would lose his main position at Atletico Madrid because of this injury.

Sun Pan, who quickly registered a Weibo account just after the end of the Olympic Games, posted a photo of himself holding a gold medal with his right hand on his personal Weibo. It could be seen from the photo that his middle finger had been treated.

He wrote on the photo: "A little injury. The king will return!"

Since Zhou Yi started a scolding war on Weibo, it seemed to have aroused the interest of his friends in playing on social networks. Sun Pan also brought his carefree and pretentious nature to the internet.

Although Sun Pan's personal account had not been officially certified, and the name was not "Sun Pan," it was targeted by netizens as soon as it came out, because he posted his photo, and his personal profile also wrote "Europa League winner, Atletico Madrid main goalkeeper, Olympic champion, National Olympic team main goalkeeper Sun Pan."

For a time, countless people poured into Sun Pan's Weibo to watch, and the comments and reposts below were all praising Sun Pan's strong will.

"Pan Pan is awesome! Blocks the little Japanese with one hand!"

"Like for you! Willpower 20!"

"Brother Sun is awesome, take good care of your injury, and wait for you to return as king!"

"I'm an Atletico Madrid fan, Brother Sun, can you transfer to Atletico Madrid permanently? Also, Brother Sun, rest assured and take care of your injury, don't rush to pay, I believe that as long as you recover from the injury, the main position will still be yours!"

……

However, a completely different style of forwarding suddenly appeared in the comments and reposts that were full of touching positive energy.

[Zhou Yi is not a fortune teller] forwarded [I am your grandpa Sun]: "Let you like to give the middle finger, look! Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, heaven will not spare anyone!"

Then the style of forwarding comments changed...

"Pfft! Pan Pan is already like this, and Zhou Yi is still mocking him, I just want to say well done!"

"Start hacking if you disagree, worthy of being the fighter jet among players! [laughcry]"

"So Zhou Yi recited two lines of poetry..."

"+1s"

"Damn, I was quite moved at first, but the style changed as soon as Zhou Yi came out, it's simply a 'style destroyer'!"

……

[I am your grandpa Sun] replied: "Zhou Yi, your grandpa!"

[Zhou Yi is not a fortune teller] forwarded [I am your grandpa Sun]: "Hello Grandpa Sun, goodbye Grandpa Sun."

[Poor Monk Dharma Name Guo Nu] forwarded [Zhou Yi is not a fortune teller]: "23333333333"

[Yang Mu Ge Himself] commented on [Zhou Yi is not a fortune teller]: "Zhou Yi, don't stimulate Pan Pan, his hand is injured, it's not easy to type."

[I am your grandpa Sun] forwarded [Poor Monk Dharma Name Guo Nu]: "Damn, Lao Guo, what are you doing here!"

[I am your grandpa Sun] forwarded [Yang Mu Ge Himself]: "Lao Yang is still a good person! Lao Yang must help me get revenge in the next Ruhr derby!"

[Zhou Yi is not a fortune teller] forwarded [Yang Mu Ge Himself]: "Lao Yang, don't worry, he practices index finger and middle finger kung fu, he doesn't need his middle finger."

[Zhou Yi is not a fortune teller] forwarded [I am your grandpa Sun]: "You still have to entrust others to get revenge, it seems that you dare not meet me in the Champions League, Pan Pan. I really didn't expect you to be so self-aware!"

[Wu Lei No. 7] forwarded [Zhou Yi is not a fortune teller]: "Well, I'll just take a look, you guys continue. [laughcry]"

[Zhang Linpeng] forwarded [Wu Lei No. 7]: "[Watching][Watching]"

Not only did Zhou Yi and Sun Pan appear, but also Guo Nu and Yang Mu Ge's Weibo accounts also popped up. Several stars who had publicly acknowledged good personal relationships, moved their private bickering and joking to the public network.

In addition, there were even Wu Lei and Zhang Linpeng, these National Olympic team players who were not among the Five Little Dragons.

"Oh my god, what's the situation? Sun Pan, Zhou Yi, Guo Nu and Yang Mu Ge are all here?"

"Is it really Guo Nu and Yang Mu Ge? Holy crap!"

"And Wu Lei! Zhang Linpeng! What day is it today..."

"Wife, come out with the Bull Demon King to see the gods!"

"Damn, why do I think they are so cute even though Zhou Yi is so harsh on Pan Pan! [laughcry]"

"The daily life of the stars, pfft..."

"Look at Zhou Yi's mouth... no wonder the public intellectuals can't beat him, it's a talent!"

"Dying of laughter, a bunch of idiots! It seems that Yang Mu Ge is the most normal, I feel so sorry for him, will he be very helpless being with such a group of idiots?"

……

The onlookers went from initial astonishment to bursting with laughter, and in the process accepted such a setting - this group of people is different from the Chinese players they had imagined or seen before, they would bicker with each other, they had personality and were real, completely without the pretense when facing the camera, they were not high above and unapproachable, but like the friends around everyone.

Fans like them like this.

And there is another point, Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, Guo Nu and Yang Mu Ge had known each other for a long time, and everyone knew that they were good friends, so everyone would not feel anything wrong with them joking like this.

But another phenomenon attracted everyone's attention - Wu Lei and Zhang Linpeng, who were not originally among the Five Little Dragons, but now looking at their Weibo, they can even joke with the Five Little Dragons.

This seems to be a hilarious thing for everyone, but it is actually very important, what does it show?

It shows that the National Olympic team is truly united, there are no small groups, and there is no infighting of any kind. This is probably why this team was able to ultimately create history in London and win the Olympic gold medal.

Before, the name of the Five Little Dragons was very loud, and after Zhou Yi joined the National Olympic team, while everyone was cheering, there was also a small worry in their hearts, which they dared not say. They were worried that there would be a huge gap between the Five Little Dragons and the domestic players, after all, there was a huge difference between the two sides in terms of fame and strength, and the experiences of the two sides were completely different. Would they have a common language together? Would the Five Little Dragons look down on the domestic players? Would the domestic players think that the Five Little Dragons were high above and unapproachable? Would there be estrangement and misunderstanding between the two sides? Would they be superficially harmonious but inwardly divided?

These are all very real worries, and the infighting of the national team has been criticized many times.

But now, through this detail on Weibo, fans and the media can probably rest assured - the unity shown by the National Olympic team in front of the camera is a real unity, not a performance to cover up problems.

This is probably the deeper and more important meaning behind this entertainment event that seems to be a group of stars flirting and scolding.

After blacking out Sun Pan enough, Zhou Yi posted a separate Weibo: "Thank you for your enthusiastic attention. Because the league is about to start, I can't return home to meet you, which is a pity. Let's make up for this regret when we return in triumph next time. Finally, thank you again to the fans who waited at the Capital International Airport, thank you for your warm welcome, please allow me to pay you my highest respect!"

Changing from the previous joking, scolding and funny, suddenly became serious.

And Sun Pan, who had been miserably blacked out by him before, also forwarded this Weibo as soon as possible: "Thank you everyone, salute to you, you are the best!"

[Yang Mu Ge Himself] forwarded [I am your grandpa Sun]: "Thank you! [Like]"

[Poor Monk Dharma Name Guo Nu] forwarded [Yang Mu Ge Himself]: "Best twelfth man!"

[Wu Lei No. 7] forwarded [Poor Monk Dharma Name Guo Nu]: "Thank you for your support!"

[Zhang Linpeng] forwarded [Wu Lei No. 7]: "[Powerful][Applause]"

Not only did Zhou Yi change his style quickly, but the style of others also changed quickly.

But this time, the onlookers did not feel uncomfortable, and the comments and reposts under Weibo were full of positive energy.

"Thank you too! You are the best! Come on, Chinese football!"

"What's there to be polite about, we are the ones who are embarrassed that we couldn't thank you in person!"

"Come on everyone, no matter where you are, the people of the motherland will always be your strong backing!"

"Do you know, when you jumped onto the podium, I was smiling and crying in front of the TV, my wife thought I was stupid... Thank you so much, thank you for making my dream come true!"

"The Olympic champion is enough for me to brag about for a lifetime. When I get old in the future, I will definitely tell my grandson that grandpa has seen the Chinese team become Olympic champions with his own eyes..."

"Upstairs, your grandson may say to you: 'Grandpa, what's so good about bragging about this? I have seen the Chinese team win the World Cup with my own eyes!'"

"Haha, if you say so... it seems like there is really such a possibility!"

"Everyone, I think, looking at our young players, maybe we don't have to wait until our grandchildren's generation, we will be able to see that day, right?"

"I suddenly... feel that we can go to Brazil to watch the games in two years, I have to work hard to save money from now on! Let's work hard together! See you in Brazil then!"
