Although Melli failed to score in the opening game, Argentina's offensive did not weaken. They continued to attack the Olympic team's goal in subsequent games, wave after wave.
The Argentinian fans in the stands were in climax, with endless cheers and screams.
The Chinese fans were too nervous to make any sound, for fear that if they made a sound, the team would lose the ball...
In front of the TV, Xie Lan and Hu Lixin didn't bother to talk.
There are many TV viewers like them.
Unlike the previous two group matches of the Chinese Olympic team, this game was not held in the latter part of the night, but kicked off at 9:30 pm, which is considered prime time for Chinese audiences.
At this moment, a large number of Chinese fans are waiting in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of this game.
For this game, CCTV also dedicated the broadcast time of its sports channel just to broadcast this game.
Melly Banega also has many fans in China, but now, the vast majority of Melly's fans are also nervous about the Chinese team.
After all, as Chinese, the Chinese Olympic team is their home team.
"Argentina launched another attack... Cantero sent a cross after breaking through from the wing! Wang Guangwei made a header to clear the siege! Phew!" He Feng also let out a sigh of relief while explaining, and the audience in front of the TV knew it.
Yes, the commentator is also very nervous...
"How long can we hold on like this?" Li Zhifei asked Shi Wuyin on the sidelines.
"I don't know." Shi Wuyin frowned.
Argentina is indeed a strong team in the world. Both the adult team and the youth team are world-class.
When they attack, it feels like they won't stop at all.
Under this continuous offensive, the pressure on the Chinese team is increasing.
Before the game, we talked about defensive counterattacks, but now Argentina’s offensive is too fierce, and the Chinese team has not had any decent counterattack opportunities...
Shi Wuyin could guess that Argentina would attack hard at the beginning, but he did not expect that the intensity of the attack would be so great.
※※※
Argentina took a corner kick, and their captain and main center back Juan Sosa overwhelmed Liu Yan in the penalty area and headed the ball towards the goal.
Slightly off.
All Chinese fans breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Lin Zhiyuan placed the football and looked at the situation in front of him. He did not pass the football to his teammates in a short pass because Argentina's three offensive players were still in front, ready to counterattack at any time.
He had seen it before.
Although the accuracy of kicking with a big kick is relatively low, it is indeed a good way to keep the football away from your own goal.
Before the game, he was extremely eager to play against Melli, but after the actual fight, he was now in the complicated mood of worrying about losing the ball at any time - he wanted to save Melli's shot and achieve his own highlight of the game.
At all times, I was worried about not saving Melli's shot, which became the background of Melli's highlight performance.
Lin Zhiyuan kicked the football forward with a big kick.
Hu Lai jumped up to fight for the top and passed the football to his teammates.
Although he does not have an advantage in height, he can often make such headers in the frontcourt with his excellent judgment of landing points. However, this time he met Juan Sosa, who has better physical conditions.
He was unable to head the ball while being closely guarded by Sosa.
The football was pushed back by Sosa.
Argentina's defensive midfielder Enzo Diaz received the ball inside the center circle.
Gao Ruimin saw that Diaz's back was facing the direction of the attack. A bold idea suddenly came to his mind, and he jumped out and attacked!
Diaz caught the football and just turned around when he collided with Gao Ruimin.
The other person stumbled and tilted to one side, and the football was stabbed out by Gao Ruimin.
Cantero, who was right next to Diaz, raised his arm to signal a foul to the Chinese players, but the referee did not blow the whistle and instead turned and ran in the direction of the football.
"Nice counterattack!"
Gao Ruimin poked the football away with his hand, bypassed Diaz, caught up with the football, and passed the football to captain Guo Junfu who retreated to meet him.
At the same time, Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi were on their respective wings, starting at the same time and pushing forward!
Argentina's three-back system is prone to problems when switching offense and defense. The two wide players in the midfield have already attacked, and there are only three people in the back line. Juan Sosa, the middle one, has just completed a forward pass.
He headed the ball to clear the ball, leaving his two central defender partners behind.
This is when Argentina's defense is most vulnerable!
※※※
"Pass Hu Lai!!" Zhang Qinghuan, who was watching the live game on a large projector, couldn't help shouting.
In the TV broadcast, Hu Lai, who had just failed to compete with Juan Zai for the top position, was directly behind him.
The left center back Santiago Sweeney is filling in towards the center, so the wing where he was originally is empty, and Roquet is sprinting towards that side.
It stands to reason that everyone would feel that it is better to pass this kind of ball to Luo Kai who is open in space.
However, Zhang Qinghuan believed that Hu Lai should be passed because Hu Lai is in the middle and can directly threaten the goal. However, passing the ball to Luo Kai requires one more step.
He shouted these words to Guo Junfu as if he were on the court, without even thinking about the fact that others couldn't hear him at all.
Xia Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to him, became nervous. The Olympic team finally got an excellent offensive opportunity. As a frontcourt organizer, Guo Junfu's passing choice is likely to directly determine the outcome of the Olympic team's attack.
He hoped that Guo Junfu could make the right choice for once.
No one in the Qin Lin family sitting on the other side spoke, but stared at the game screen on the projection screen seriously and nervously.
I saw that Guo Junfu really chose the middle pass as Zhang Qinghuan said!
He rubbed the football!
"Pick the ball to the center! An offensive opportunity for the Olympic team!"
※※※
After Santiago Sweeney added to the center, he did not continue to chase Hulay, but prepared to directly push the football away from the penalty arc.
Just when he was about to take off, he suddenly heard a shout from behind him: "Let me come!!"
When he was about to take off, he hesitated and swayed but did not jump up immediately.
He thought it was goalkeeper Rino Marinelli who attacked and let him miss the ball...
But he soon realized something was wrong, because the voice... didn't look like Marinelli's voice!
So he jumped again in a hurry. Not only was the timing too late, but the height of the jump was far from high enough.
Although the other person jumped up, he missed the football and the ball flew over his head!
※※※
"Falling off!!" He Feng shouted.
Hu Lixin suddenly stood up from the sofa, staring at the TV screen.
In the live broadcast, his son ran into the penalty area, looked up at the goalkeeper of the Argentina Olympic team who abandoned the goal, and then quickly looked back at the direction of the football.
Start adjusting your steps.
"Oh! Oh! Oh..." His wife beside him exclaimed uncontrollably.
※※※
Rino Marinelli rushed out of the goal with open arms and pounced on Hulay.
This is a knightly duel between the goalkeeper and the striker, with one strike determining the outcome!
He tried to increase his defensive space and yelled at the same time, trying to create some psychological pressure on the opposing player so that he could not make the next connection move.
Then he lowered his center of gravity, dragged his legs on the ground, and slid towards the forward of the Chinese Olympic team.
As long as he stops the ball, he will completely lose the angle and space for shooting!
In his eyes, the Chinese forward was still looking back at the football, not knowing that he was very close to him.
Chance!
But then Marinelli's eyes and mouth opened wide.
The forward of the Chinese team did not stop the ball, but in the process of running forward, he naturally raised his right leg and gently picked up the fallen football!
The football jumped up from his feet, went over Marinelli's head, and flew towards the empty goal behind him!
"Shoot without stopping the ball!"
After completing this shooting action, Hulay changed his direction slightly before running towards Marinelli, went around him, then opened his arms and turned towards the camera in the corner flag area, without even looking at the way he was falling behind him.
A glimpse of the goal in football.
Then he jumped up and spun in the air.
When he landed, facing the goal, he happened to see the football bounce in the goal and fly towards the net.
He grinned.
Do you have any advice for Xia Hu Lai?
※※※
The women's football girls basically couldn't understand the Spanish commentary. So they watched the Chinese Olympic team's two games and only watched the pictures and didn't care about the commentary.
Just after Gao Ruimin successfully counterattacked and passed the football to Guo Junfu, the Spanish commentator on the TV started chattering non-stop, speaking as fast as a machine gun. The women's football girls didn't listen to a word of what he said.
Understand.
But now each of them understands this sentence, or this word:
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL——!!!"
In the conference room, there were sounds of chairs being knocked down, tables being slapped, and mostly girls screaming.
"Very beautiful!!"
"Hulai!!"
"handsome!!"
Xu Wen had just finished cheering and was clapping her hands vigorously. At the same time, she turned to look at Li Qingqing next to her.
Li Qingqing had just retracted the fist he had thrown out. After noticing Xu Wen's gaze, he turned to his roommate and smiled: "He is not willing to give in!"
