In the locker room of the Vietnamese team before the game, the head coach of the Vietnamese team, Nguyen Minh Chih, was leaning over the team's captain and top star Huang Wenhui. He put his face as close to the opponent as possible, and what he said would make a spitting star say it directly.
Sprayed onto Huang Wenhui's face.
However, Huang Wenhui did not dodge, but looked at his head coach with wide eyes.
"Our whole team will resist the Chinese team's attack no matter what the cost. When the Chinese team players find that they can't defeat our team at home, they will inevitably become impetuous... We will need you then.
, use your speed! Counterattack us into the penalty area of the Chinese team!
"We won't have many such opportunities, so you must seize every opportunity! We won't have many people to support you, so many times you will be a lone hero... But despite this, we still
I believe you can complete the task!"
Huang Wenhui was so excited by the head coach's words that he raised his chest and raised his head and replied loudly: "I promise to complete the task!"
"Very good! Come on out now!"
After head coach Ruan Mingzhi aroused everyone's emotions, he finally opened the locker room door.
The players of the Vietnamese Olympic team were like wild beasts being released from their cages, howling and rushing out.

Standing on the court, Hu Lai noticed the unkind looks from the Vietnamese players opposite.
But he didn't care much about it.
He just glanced at them, then withdrew his gaze and turned to look behind him.
In the field of vision that has activated the system, extending back from him, there is a net composed of several white light chains that almost covers the half of the Chinese team.
There is only one "loophole" here in Guo Junfu.
This is the effect of using [Lingxi Card] in the game against Qatar.
[Lingxi Card] is valid for three games, and the final validity period is the semi-finals.
Judging from the previous effects of [Lingxi Card], this can greatly increase the chance of the Chinese team winning the semifinals.
This will at least ensure that the Chinese team can qualify for the Olympic Games. As for the finals, we will wait until then.
Guo Junfu, who was sent off at the time, did not enjoy the [Lingxi Card]. Now that he has returned to the team's starting lineup after his suspension, he has naturally become a "loophole" in this network.
However, Hu Lai didn't care about this issue very much. On the one hand, of course, it was because he had no points and could not exchange for more [Lingxi Cards]. On the other hand, Hu Lai felt that even if Team Guo did not have [Lingxi Cards],
It will not hinder the operation of the entire team.
A crisp whistle sounded, and while Hu Lai closed the system's vision, he kicked the football back to Guo Junfu who was receiving the ball outside the center circle.
The semi-finals have begun!

Hu Lixin, who was sitting on the sofa watching football, felt that the sofa kept shaking. He thought it was an earthquake at first, but soon realized that earthquakes did not have such a vibration frequency. He turned his head and looked to the side, and sure enough he saw his wife's legs shaking.
Non-stop...
"What's so nervous about this?" he asked his wife strangely.
"Who said I'm nervous?" Xie Lan rolled her eyes at her husband, "I'm so cold!"
"Just wear more clothes if it's cold."
Xie Lan actually pulled a thin blanket from the side to cover her thighs, and then asked her husband: "Why are you so calm? This game is related to whether our son can participate in the Olympics!"
"Because I don't think the Chinese team can even win against Vietnam." Hu Lixin said, "If it were the Chinese team in the past, it would have been possible. But now this one...it's impossible."
He shook his head firmly.
"Because of our son?"
"It's not just him. In addition to him, this team also has many excellent players, plus an excellent head coach. From last year's East Asian Cup to this year's U23 Asian Cup, it can be clearly seen that this team
The team is maturing rapidly. So I think it should not be a problem for them to beat Vietnam." Hu Lixin analyzed to his wife.
"Besides, in the last quarter-finals, when Palestine played against us, we used defensive counterattack tactics. The coaching staff of the Olympic team will definitely make preparations in advance. The Vietnamese team also used defensive counterattack tactics. The Chinese team was not dragged down by Palestine.
Can the Vietnamese team still succeed if they go into the water?"
"Didn't the commentator say that Huang Wenhui is also quite powerful?"
"For Vietnamese players, they are quite good. But when it comes to China...that's it." Hu Lixin curled his lips. "They say they studied abroad in Japan, but they can't even play in J2. They're still too young.
."
"No, Hu Lixin, why did I hear you say that we can win easily?" Xie Lan stopped watching the game and turned sideways to stare at Hu Lixin.
Hu Lixin also looked at her: "I think you are the weird one, Xie Lan. In the past, you said that I always badmouthed Hu Lai, but now that I am optimistic about it, is it wrong?"
"I'm afraid you're poisonous!" Xie Lan always surfed the Internet and learned many words from those talented netizens.
Hu Lixin was stunned for a moment: "What is poisonous milk?"
"It's the crow's mouth!"
While the couple was bickering, they heard the commentator He Feng yelling from the TV: "Opportunity!!"
They both immediately turned to look at the TV screen.
I saw Chen Xingyi knocking down the Vietnamese team's defensive players with a fake move and heading towards the Vietnamese team's bottom line!
He broke through the Vietnamese team's defense!
The Vietnamese goalkeeper quickly moved to the near corner in an attempt to block Chen Xingyi's shot angle.
At the same time, the Vietnamese team's center back No. 5 also quickly pounced to defend Chen Xingyi.
After Chen Xingyi caught up with the football, he flicked the football towards the center with the outside instep of his right foot, trying to pass it to Hu Lai who was connecting him in the center. He temporarily blocked the Vietnamese team's defender behind him, and the opportunity was fleeting.
, If I don’t pass it on, I’m afraid my position will be gone...
However, the Vietnamese defender who rushed forward took the ball in time and crossed Chen Xingyi's passing route.
When the football passed under his legs, it still rubbed against his calf, causing a refraction...
Hu Lai, who followed up in the middle, felt the pressure from the Vietnamese defender behind him, but he still gritted his teeth and faced the opponent, and then swung his foot out.
As soon as he finished all this, he saw the football changed its line and flew at the wrong height!
But whether it's his shot or the flying football, it's like water being thrown out and can't be taken back...
He hit the football, or rather... touched the bottom of the football.
The football he touched didn't fly directly over the crossbar or into the goal. Instead, it took a very strange route and almost flew up next to his body, rising almost as high as his head.
high height.
The goalkeeper of the Vietnamese team was stunned by Hu Lai's shot - he had already fallen to the ground, but saw that the football did not fly over, so he struggled and tried to make a second save.
The Vietnamese team defender, who was temporarily stuck behind Hu Lai, slammed into Hu Lai with his body, trying to knock him away.
At the same time, another defensive player from the Vietnamese team rushed up from the side and tried to make a clearance.
All this happened in a flash of lightning, so fast that people had no time to think about what to do.
However, Hu Lai made a second reaction in this very short period of time. He used the power exerted by the Vietnamese team defender behind him to push the football towards the goal again!
The force of the ball being pushed out is not great, but for a football that is very close to the goal line, only a slight force is needed to change its direction.
The important thing is to uphold football and uphold football! And this is not difficult for Hu Lai!
The Vietnamese goalkeeper reached out to grab Hu Lai's clothes, but it was still a step too late.
The Vietnamese defender tried to clear the ball but missed the ball.
Only the Vietnamese central defender who was closely guarding Hu Lai succeeded. He tipped Hu Lai to the side. But he was not happy at all. He thought that in the space made by Hu Lai after he tilted, he saw
The football flew into their goal!
In front of the chaotic Vietnamese team's goal, everyone saw Hu Lai raise his arms and turn around and run towards the corner flag area, as if he was holding an invisible flag.
"Hu Lai scored a goal! Hu Lai scored a goal! In just thirteen minutes, he used an unconventional shot to help the Chinese team take the lead! We have taken another solid and powerful step towards the Madrid Olympics.
One step!"
Xie Lan and Hu Lixin, who were still bickering before, looked at each other and then hugged each other.
Xie Lan hugged her husband hard and laughed: "It's great, great!"
With a smile on his face, Hu Lixin patted his wife gently on the back.

Huang Wenhui stood at the front of the Vietnamese team's formation, looking back blankly at the scene happening behind him.
Hu Lai took the lead and ran towards the corner flag area. Behind him were other Chinese team players. Some of them opened their arms while running, while others were jumping and waving their fists.
And his teammates, the players of the Vietnamese Olympic team, stood dumbfounded in the penalty area in front of the goal.
He still remembers the impassioned speech made by head coach Ruan Zhizhi in the locker room before the game started.
He was said to be very enthusiastic. He believed that his teammates were like him, full of fighting spirit, and planned to desperately block the Chinese team's attack and create opportunities for him to counterattack.
But now the game has only started for less than fifteen minutes, and the Great Wall of flesh and blood that they built with their blood has collapsed...
Chen Xingyi's breakthrough is indeed beautiful, but our people still made a very timely and correct response. We shouldn't lose the ball so easily!
How did the ball go in?
Huang Wenhui was in pain inside.
But what was more painful than him was the head coach of the Vietnamese Olympic team, Nguyen Chih-hsing. He was sitting on the coaching bench, looking blankly in the direction of his goal.
All the tactics he carefully prepared were meaningless in the face of this conceding goal.
The fighting spirit he had built up before the game was like a balloon with a hole poked in it, rapidly deflating...
It's not that he hasn't studied Hu Lai, he also made targeted defensive tactics for Hu Lai, asking defensive players to follow him closely.
But it still doesn't work... In fact, when encountering unexpected situations, this person can still hit the football into the goal in a way that others did not expect.
Maybe the action doesn't look good, but so what?
The goal was scored!
The TV broadcast just cut to a shot of Ruan Zhizhi sitting on a chair and stunned. He Feng saw this scene and said: "Vietnam team coach Ruan Zhizhi seemed to be frightened by Hu Lai's goal!"
