Rick beat France to win the Olympic men's gold medal, and Spain won six titles this summer

The reporter reported coldly In the early morning of August 10, Beijing time, with Ferming's brace in regular time and Carmelo's brace in extra time, Spain defeated the host France 5-3 in the men's football final of the Paris Olympics, winning the Olympic men's football gold medal again after 32 years.

This is the fourth men's major championship won by Spain football this summer, after the Champions League, the European Championship and the Under-19 European Youth Championship, in addition, the Spain women's football team has also won the Under-17 European Junior Championship and the Under-19 European Youth Championship. Spain failed to win the Under-17 men's European Junior Championship and the Olympic women's football tournament in the eight major competitions this summer, and this summer is definitely a veritable summer for Spain.

Spain's football talent is the envy of the world, and the 21-year-old La Masia youth academy achievement Fermin, who contributed 6 goals and 2 assists throughout the tournament, is the number one contributor to the gold medal won by the Spain men's football team, and is also the top scorer of the Spain Olympic team in a single Olympic Games. Substitute goalscorer Carmelo was originally out of the squad due to the health of Omolodion, who had just joined Chelsea, and finally scored twice in extra time as a substitute and became the hero of the final along with Ferming.



Thierry Henry's France Olympic team had the advantage of time and place, facing Spain, who were not the strongest team, at the Parc des Princes in Paris. Although there are no "four new stars" of Yamal, Gavi, Pedri and Nico · Williams, Spain's Olympic Games still show desperate dominance. Although France relied on midfielder Miu, who returned from suspension, to score first in the opening 11 minutes, Spain scored three goals in the next 11 minutes to overtake the score. In the 17th minute, Fermin equalised with a sweeping shot from the middle, and in the 25th minute, Abel · Ruiz had a shot saved, and Fermin scored twice in the supplement. Three minutes later, Baena took a free-kick into the corner to extend the advantage.

Had it not been for Spain's Olympic coach Santi replacing the most threatening Fermin too early, he would not have been dragged into extra time. In the 79th minute, Akeliusche's shot was deflected to save one point for France. Santi then replaced Fermin in an attempt to defend and in the 90th minute it was substitute Fermín who fouled Tourentes in the box to send France to extra-time with a penalty draw. Fortunately, super substitute Carmelo broke out, scoring two goals in extra time to seal Spain's second Olympic gold medal. At the Parc des Princes in Paris, Spain's youngsters are the true princes of football.


Spain basketball superstar Gasol attended the game, he led the Spain men's basketball team to the Olympic gold medal twice in his career, and finally witnessed the Spain men's football team win the Olympic gold medal. Spain's Olympic gold medal is not only the glory of Spain football, but also the glory of Spain's team sports. In 1996, Spain's men's water polo team defeated the mighty Croatia to win the championship (7-5), and the final was finally made into the movie "42 Seconds".

After the Barcelona Olympics, after 7 Olympic Games and 10 finals, the Spain team once again had the Spain national anthem played at the Olympics. During this period, in addition to the men's football team lost to Cameroon and Brazil in the 2000 and 2021 finals, the Spain men's basketball team led by Gasol lost to the United States NBA "Dream Team" in the 2008 and 2012 finals. Spain's men's hockey "Golden Generation" also lost to Germany in the 2008 final, and Spain lost to United States in the 2016 women's basketball final. Just before the Spain men's football team won the gold, the Spain women's 3-a-side basketball team had just lost to Germany by one point in the final. The Spain men's football team won the third gold medal of the Spain delegation at the Paris Olympics, and it was also the heaviest gold medal of the Paris Olympics.



Spain coach Santi burst into tears after the game, and the men's gold medal was not easy to come by. After all, his Spain Olympic team is almost just a "second team" of school-age players. After winning the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992, the Spain men's football team reached the final for the third time. But compared to the heaviest gold medal of the Olympics (22), what really excites Spain's media and fans is the talent.

This time Fermin stood out, handing over 6 goals and 2 assists in only one Olympic Games, becoming the Spain team's all-time Olympic Golden Boot. Fermin was poached from the Betis academy by Barcelona at the age of 13 and renewed his contract with Barcelona until the summer of 2027 in October last year, with liquidated damages of up to 400 million euros. He made 43 appearances for Barcelona last season, scoring 11 goals and providing one assist. A versatile attacking midfielder, Fermin was second only to Yamal and Defence of Ku Brazil, and he also played in the European Championship. In just one year, the value has surged 100 times from 300,000 to 30 million, and it is expected to increase significantly after the Olympics. Perhaps Laporta is already regretting: since Fermin, why spend another 55 million to buy Olmo, who has overlapping positions?


Unlike the Spain national team, which is diverse and even Basque, the core framework of the Spain Olympic team is still La Masia's elite. The main goalkeeper Turners, central defender E. Garcia, Ku Brazil, right-back Miranda, winger S. Gomez, forward Fermin, center Abel· Ruiz 7 main players are all from La Masia Academy, substitute winger Diego · Lopes, midfielder Bernawe is the result of Real Madrid and Spain youth training respectively, in addition to right-back Puvel is also a Catalan from Spain academy.

Unfortunately, only Fermin and Cu Brazil remained at Barça. E. Garcia, S. Gomez and substitute midfielder Bernawe were all poached by Manchester City before the age of 18. Atletico Madrid's powerful striker Omolodion has also just been sold to Chelsea for 35 million euros. Carmelo, who scored twice in one step, came from the Atletico Madrid academy and was also abandoned to join Rayo Vallecano last summer. It is believed that after winning gold in this Olympic Games, Barcelona and Spain will pay more attention to retaining the youth elite. From the U19 European Youth Championship, the Olympic Games to the European Cup, Spain football is experiencing the second talent blowout period of the 21st century, and to retain talent is to retain the championship.
