When Melli walked into the locker room, he received cheers and applause from his teammates.
“Well done, Mellie!”
“Both of your goals were so beautiful!”
“He simply destroyed his opponent with his own strength, haha!”
Merry raised her hands to show humility.
Cantero came up and hugged his neck: "I just said, that kid is really lucky to be able to compete with you. But the kid actually said that it was our misfortune to be against him... and scored another goal in the second half.
, put on a hat, look how tough that kid is! Haha!"
“Ramon, why are you always fighting with him?” Mellie was puzzled.
"I just don't like that kid. In an Asian football match, you can just be lucky and score five goals in nine minutes, and then you can brag about it everywhere... He still pretends to be in front of me and says that it is our misfortune to play against him...
...Ha! I want to see what is so unfortunate!" Ramon Cantero pouted.
Merry knew that his good friend had this temper, so he didn’t try to persuade him. If Ramon could change, he wouldn’t be Ramon anymore.
There will always be all kinds of people around him, and not all of them may have the same temperament as him, and not everyone may have the same philosophy of life as him, but it is Merry's principle to not force everyone to be the same as him.

So he smiled and shook his head and stopped discussing the issue.
Ramon Cantero seemed more excited than Melli, who scored two goals. He swung his butt and danced next to Melli: "I can't wait for the second half to start right away! This time after you score a goal
I must run to that kid and take a good look at his expression! It must be exciting! Even more exciting than the score of this game!"

“I know the situation is serious...”
In the locker room of the Chinese Olympic team, head coach Shi Wuyin is speaking to his players.
All the starting players are in the locker room at this time, and the substitute players are being warmed up on the court by the assistant coach.
Everyone was sitting in their seats, some were looking at their head coach, some were lowering their heads as if in deep thought, but no one spoke, the only voice in the locker room was Shi Wuyin.
Shi Wuyin stood in the center of the locker room. Except for the direction of the goal, the players almost surrounded him.
He scratched his hair, then touched it along the back of his head, and finally pressed it on the back of his head. He just lowered his head, as if he was thinking about a countermeasure, and he seemed not to know what to say to his players.
"I really want to tell you, let's adjust this way and that, readjust your tactics in each position, and you can restrain your opponents... But unfortunately, such tactics do not exist. Our tactics before the game are
This is the best response plan that the entire coaching staff came up with after spending a few days. We have been practicing for so many days, and this is the same tactic. Now if I only rely on my mouth, I will tell you during the halftime break.
I came up with another good idea, and you can defeat Argentina as long as you do what I say... Then I am deceiving you, I am deceiving you. There is no such tactic, no training, you can do it just by what I say.
There are no tactics that work well."
Shi Wuyuan shook his head.
"Tactically, I have done everything I can do. In terms of execution, you have actually done everything you can do. But are we out of tricks? Just watch the game fall into the opponent's trap in the second half.
rhythm, and then we are getting further and further away from our goal? Or, are we going to give up on that goal now? Many people know very well whether we can qualify in the group, right? That is just what I use to drive you.
The one who runs forward is a carrot tied to a stick...right?" At this point, Shi Wuyuan raised his head, looked around at his players and smiled.
"So far, the results are good. Because we have this goal in front of us, our performance in the Olympics so far is generally excellent. This is not my boast. It has the evaluation of external media and the reaction of fans.
Testify. It stands to reason... As our first time participating in the Olympic Games, we should have completed our task. In this game, we faced a strong opponent and we also scored goals, so our performance was not bad. This performance can satisfy many people.
I have a clear conscience for myself. As a head coach, I don’t seem qualified to let you continue to fight... Hu Lai, sit down."
When Shi Wuyuan said this, he saw Hu Lai standing up from his seat impatiently, as if he had something to say, so he raised his hand to signal him to sit down.
Hu Lai was anxious...but he still sat down obediently, his anxiety written on his face.
As of now, the Chinese team has only 45 minutes left before leaving the Olympic Games, and its hat trick and the task of qualifying for the group have not yet been completed.
How useful are two bottles of [Marrow Cleansing Potion] to him? After he entered professional football, it became very clear. Now every time he faces an opponent who is physically stronger than him, he has to rack his brains and instigate an unbreakable spirit.
Isn't it just to be able to deceive the opponent and give myself even a little space to shoot? Isn't it all because of the disadvantage in physical confrontation?
The [Marrow Cleansing Potion] can improve his physical fitness.
Seeing Hu Lai sitting on the bench still grinding his butt, Shi Wuyin smiled - this guy didn't think I was going to surrender early and admit defeat, right? Well, blame me, maybe the preparation was a bit long...
So he changed the subject and his tone changed: "I have talked about so many objective problems and difficulties before, and I have also said so many reasons why we can give up and go home and enjoy the praise...but I still feel unwilling to do so.
Just admit defeat. Argentina is very strong, but after the first half of the game started, if you played according to the tactics and style of play we prepared before, didn't you lead them by one goal? What does it mean? It means that our opponents are the same as us.
The strong will return to the strong, but we will still score goals. If you are stabbed with a knife, you will be injured and bleed, and if the blood dries up, you will die! So since we have stabbed them once, why can't we stab them a few more times?"
Shi Wuyin looked around at the players in the locker room again, his expression becoming serious.
"Isn't it funny for us to ask this after our opponents have already stabbed us twice? But isn't that what the game is like? Whoever can kill his opponent first before being fucked to death by his opponent wins! I
This person doesn’t accept his fate. When I didn’t perform well and the fans in the audience shouted for me to be replaced, I didn’t accept my fate. I scored a fucking goal to equalize the score! I have suffered five major injuries in my career.
, most people would have retired a long time ago when I had so many injuries? No, I didn’t accept my fate. I played until my body couldn’t allow it anymore and then retired. Not accepting my fate brought me a lot of trouble, and I suffered for it.
It's a lot of suffering, because sometimes, as long as you lower your head a little bit, you can feel comfortable about certain things, and you don't have to work so hard, you don't have to be so tired, you don't have to suffer so much... But there is only one winner on the football field, and there is only one champion.
, in order not to be miserable or tired, just lower your head and accept your fate, then why are we playing football?! Then why do we have to work so hard to come here?!"
Shi Wuyin’s voice got louder and louder, and in the end it seemed to be reverberating in the entire locker room, deafening.
"Argentina is better than us? So what? Melli is better than us? So what? There is a saying I like very much, and I give it to you here: 'Before you lose confidence, use your courage first.' Score
It doesn’t matter if we fall behind, at least we still have the courage!” (Note 1)
After speaking, Shi Wuyuan took a break and then looked at Hu Lai: "Okay, Hu Lai, what did you want to say just now?"
Everyone looked at Hu Lai again.
Hu Lai stood up with a shy face in front of everyone, and smiled very flatteringly: "Just now I wanted to tell Director Shi a 'but' and help you change your tone... but Director Shi changed it yourself, so I have nothing to do with it."
That’s all I want to say.”
Shi Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Hu Lai to say that.
I remembered a burst of suppressed laughter in the locker room. Obviously everyone knew that it was wrong to laugh at the head coach, but they couldn't help it...
In the laughter, Shi Wuyuan also laughed, and he tapped Hu Lai twice with his fingers: "You kid..."
After everyone had almost laughed, he said seriously again: "I have nothing to say about the second half. I said everything that needs to be said before the game. The tactics are still the same and how to do them specifically. In the second half, I asked Meili Ba
Let Negga and his Argentina show our mettle!"
※※※
"In the second half of the game, both sides changed sides and no one made any substitutions... Although the Olympic team was one goal behind, overall, the performance in the first half was remarkable and not too bad. Shi Wuyin
Probably for this reason, no adjustments were made. The same is true for Argentina. After all, they are now the leading side and there is no need to adjust..."
After the second half of the game started, the commentator He Feng made a routine introduction. To be honest, he did not dare to have too many expectations for the second half, so he also began to deliberately maintain a calm tone when explaining the game and try not to let his emotions get involved.
Come in to avoid being affected by the progress of the game later and interfering with his commentary work.
During the halftime break, he and the commentator Yan Kang exchanged their views on the second half. They both agreed that given the strength gap between Argentina and the Chinese team, Melly Banega was already in full swing.
Under such circumstances, the Chinese Olympic team may continue to lose goals.
Melli has already scored two goals and is only one goal away from a hat-trick. Can he stop at this time?
Obviously not.
So the two of them are not very optimistic about the Chinese Olympic team in the second half, for fear that the Chinese Olympic team, which played quite well, will collapse in the second half.
Although even if they lose to Argentina by a big score, given the strength gap between the two teams, it is appropriate and normal.
But they both still have some selfish intentions. They hope that if the Chinese team loses, it will lose better and try their best to lose again and have a "glorious defeat". Even if they lose, it will be glorious. In this way, everyone can look good...
“…In the second half, I hope the Olympic team can stabilize its defense first, withstand Argentina’s offensive, and then find a way to counterattack…”
As He Feng was talking, the game on the field had already progressed to the point where the Chinese team advanced its attack to the front of the Argentine penalty area.
With his back to the goal, Hulay stopped the football with his chest, and then pushed the football back with Juan Sosa behind him.
Luo Kai, who came to the center, received his response and shot directly without stopping the ball!
“Look at this ball!” Yan Kang, who was next to him, reacted first and interrupted He Feng’s explanation with a shout.
The goalkeeper of the Argentine Olympic team, Rino Marinelli, jumped into the air and reached out to lift the football over the crossbar!
"Wow! The quality of this shot is quite high!" He Feng also reacted and exclaimed, "The Olympic team won a corner kick not long after the second half started!"
"After the second half of the game started, the Olympic team played very proactively. It seems that they were not defeated by the goal conceded in the first half!" Yan Kang was very excited. Although the goal did not go in, he saw something exciting about it.
content.
“That’s right. I hope the boys of the Olympic team can keep this momentum. Put aside the outcome and fight with them!”
