Ou Yangjin looked very embarrassed when facing Melli. After the start of the game, he was easily deflected by the opponent in two one-on-one defenses. The second time he was deflected, it was a highlight of the game.
It is conceivable that after the game, the scene where Melilla turns around and passes the football under Ou Yangjin's crotch will definitely become a classic scene and be played repeatedly around the world.
And Ou Yangjin became the poor background.
But in fact, no one will laugh at Ou Yangjin's performance, because his opponent is Meli Banega. Not to mention he is just a midfielder for the Chinese Olympic team, even in the entire European football world, there are many famous players who have become
Melly's background plate.
So not only will no one laugh at Ou Yangjin, but they will sympathize with him and pity him from the bottom of their hearts.
Because it would be really unfortunate to be the opponent of Merry in the game.
Ou Yangjin's situation in the first ten minutes of the game is actually a microcosm of the Chinese Olympic team.
Melli's outstanding performance will definitely give the entire Argentine Olympic team the upper hand.
Because he is the offensive engine of the Argentina Olympic team.
Under his strong leadership, Argentina attacked wave after wave, suppressing the Olympic team.
During this period, the Olympic team was forced to defend.
Originally, they played 442, but were suppressed by Argentina and almost reached 532. Originally, Mai Zhaocheng lined up a combination of three defensive midfielders and Zhang Qinghuan in the midfield, because Xia Xiaoyu had to often push forward in the game. In order to make up for it after he came up.
In the open space, Mai Zhaocheng arranged two defensive midfielders: Ou Yangjin and Ning Yong.
In previous games, these two defensive midfielders were responsible for protecting Xia Xiaoyu's back after he rushed up. At the same time, if Xia Xiaoyu got the ball in the backcourt, the two defensive midfielders were right next to him. On the one hand, they provided support and increased Xia Xiaoyu's ball release points.
, on the other hand, after Xia Xiaoyu lost the ball, they could rush forward in time and block the opponent's offensive line immediately to prevent them from directly facing the Olympic team's back line.
In today's game, Ou Yangjin had to closely guard Melli, while Ning Yong was pushed into the penalty area many times, almost becoming a central defender...
The scoring of the Argentine Olympic team mainly relies on Melli and Cantero, but it does not mean that other Argentine Olympic team players do not need to participate in the offense, or that their offensive ability is poor.
More than half of the players in the Argentine Olympic team are playing in the European League. Their center Rodrigo Novaretti plays for the Russian Super League giant Metallurgical St. Petersburg. He is 1.91 meters tall.
, weighing 85 kilograms, looks a bit like the "Ivan the Terrible" Ivan Romanov when he was young. And the club where Romanov debuted was indeed St. Petersburg Metallurg...
In Argentina's football system, such high center forwards are very rare, so Novaretti has high hopes.
Now Novaretti is supporting Melli and Cantero in the Argentine Olympic team. This does not mean that his own scoring ability is poor. After all, at the age of 22, he can play in the Russian Super League.
He has become the main force. He has scored ten goals in the Russian Super League in the first half of this year, and his efficiency is not bad.
It's just that there are players in the Argentine Olympic team who are better at scoring than him, so he took a back seat and switched to supporting.
When Melli dribbled the ball, Novaretti did not wait in the penalty area to grab the ball, but moved to the edge of the penalty area to create a wall for Melli.
At this time, the captain of the Chinese Olympic team, center back Cai Shuyi, has to step out, while midfielder Ning Yong helps Cai Shuyi cover the center.
Just like now.
This time Melli changed positions with Cantero. After receiving the ball on the right wing, facing Ou Yangjin's defense, he dribbled the ball inward, as if he was in no one's land.
Ou Yangjin tried to get close to him and use his body to knock his opponent away. Only then did he realize that this Argentine player, who didn't seem to be in good physical condition, had good core strength. He couldn't knock him away for a while!
Melly was still dribbling the ball despite Ou Yangjin's collision.
Upon seeing this, Argentina's high center Rodrigo Novaretti pulled out from in front of the goal, turned his back to the goal, used his body to block the Chinese Olympic team captain Cai Shuyi behind him, and then raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Melli passed the football and continued to move laterally toward the center.
Novaretti did not control the ball, and he knew exactly what his mission was. After the football was passed, he directly passed the football back, looking for the front of Melli's horizontal running.
Ou Yangjin thought that Melli would continue to dribble the ball, so he planned to wait for Melli to catch the ball and then get close to him. Because Melli would slow down when he stopped the ball, so he could quickly close the distance between himself and Melli.
As a result, Melli shot directly without stopping the ball!
He shoveled over in a hurry, but it was too late and he didn't touch anything!
"Merry!!"
Amid the protracted roar of the Argentinian commentator, Melli made an arc and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
Although goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan was flying in the air and stretching his arms, his fingers did not perform any work this time...
The football passed around his fingers and then flew into the goal while grazing the inside of the far goal post!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!"
Argentina was once a colony of Spain, so Argentine football culture is also in line with Spanish football culture. Naturally, the commentary style of Argentine football commentators is exactly the same as that of Spanish football commentators, both with a long and roaring voice.
"Melli! Melli! Melli!!! He opened the scoring for the team! This is the way he is good at scoring. He dribbles horizontally and then shoots into the far corner. This is 'MelliGOL'! His form in today's game was very good.
!”
The Argentinian commentator not only cheered for Melli, but also expressed expectation and longing in his tone. Melli was in such good shape, so we have a great chance of winning today's game!
※※※
"Oops!" He Feng, who was in the commentary box, saw this scene, held his head in his hands, and sighed with regret.
Yan Kang beside him didn't speak, just shook his head.
In fact, they all guessed before the game that Argentina would score and Melli would score, so they were not too shocked by the result.
But they still have some luck in their hearts:
If I must concede the ball, I still hope to concede it late and only concede one goal...
Now, only twenty-one minutes into the game, Meili scored. Both He Feng and Yan Kang were worried that this would damage their morale.
After scoring the goal, Melli first turned his head to confirm whether the football really flew into the goal, and then he opened his arms and ran to the corner flag area to celebrate the goal.
When he ran to the corner flag area, he waved his fist at the Argentinian fans in the stands three times in a row.
Every time he pumped his fist, the Argentinian fans in the stands responded with short and loud shouts.
Three punches in a row is Merry's unique signature celebration.
Such celebrations combined with the deafening shouts from the stands were like three heavy hammers hitting the hearts of Chinese fans.
The shouting made people's hearts palpitate.
※※※
"Hold!"
"day!"
"Depend on!"
In the crowded living room, many people could not help but "vomit fragrance" when they saw this scene.
But after the scolding, he fell into silence again.
Many people put their heads in their hands and stared blankly at Melli interacting with Argentine fans on the TV screen, speechless.
I don't have the strength to say either.
In this suffocating silence, Yan Yan stood up and raised his arms to encourage everyone:
"Don't panic! The game has just begun! A goal conceded in the 21st minute means we still have 69 minutes to get it back! No problem!"
Chu Yifan suddenly laughed and scolded: "Oh, Yan Yan, it's better if you don't say this. The more you say it, the more panicked I become."
"How is that possible?" Yan Yan was surprised.
"Because the tone of what you just said really sounded like a 'technical adjustment'..."
"day……"
On the TV, there was a replay of Melli's goal just now. Everyone watched him start dribbling the ball from the right wing, dribbling the ball horizontally to the middle, with Ou Yangjin always following him in the middle. Although there was always physical confrontation, Melli
Under his collision, he firmly controlled the football under his feet, as if the football was stuck to his shoes.
When Melli finally shot, although Ou Yangjin struggled to tackle it, he failed to stop it and instead became the backdrop for Melli's shot.
Almost everyone is a fan of Anton Shining Star, and naturally they are very familiar with the level of Shining Star's main midfielder Ou Yangjin.
So no one accused Ou Yangjin of poor defense.
It's not that Ou Yangjin can't do it, it's that his opponent Meili is too strong.
※※※
After Melli's goal was replayed from all angles on TV, he had finished celebrating with his teammates and returned to his own half.
At the same time, the number of goals scored by Melli in this Olympics is displayed at the bottom of the broadcast screen:
This is Melli's sixth goal at this Olympics.
Then the screen cut to Hu Lai.
He was already standing in the center circle, with the ball at his feet, waiting for the Argentinian players to return to their half for the kick-off.
The director duly added a subtitle under the picture of Hu Lai to remind TV viewers that the Chinese forward has scored seven goals in five Olympic games.
Since the German Olympic team of Strauyi, who scored eight goals, has been eliminated by the Brazilian Olympic team in the quarter-finals, Straui, who is currently the top scorer, may not be able to keep it.
At the top of the list, both Meili and Hu Lai have a chance to surpass him.
Of course, there is no such honor as "top scorer" in the Olympics. Even if you rank first on the scorer list, you will not get a trophy.
But everyone will still care about it. After all, this is a continuation of the all-round competition between Hulay and Melly last season.
In the TV broadcast, Hu Lai was talking to his teammates, but in the noisy stadium environment and separated by satellite signals, no one could know what he was talking about.
Even the commentator He Feng can only guess:
"Hu Lai should be encouraging his teammates. Although it is a pity to concede the ball, I believe that the Olympic team will definitely have a plan to concede the ball first...so this conceding of the ball should not have too much impact on the boys of the Olympic team.
There’s a lot of pressure. There’s still a lot of game time, just play normally, don’t panic, don’t panic!”
Through the TV broadcast signal, everyone heard the shouts of Chinese fans from the stands of Sequoia Sports Park:
"Team China! Come on!!"
People in front of the TV also shouted together:
"come on! Come on!"
“Come on Team China!”
"Fuck Argentina!"
"Fuck Meili!!"
A group of people howled at a little after four o'clock in the morning.
