Tony Clark looked at the dense crowd outside the Santa Lucia Stadium, turned his head and asked his partner Matt Dawn: "Didn't you say that every game is not full? I think a British Championship game is about the same. This attendance rate is..."

"Today is a battle of life and death between the two teams." Matt Dawn said.

"I'm afraid the Argentine fans don't think so." Tony pointed to the cheerful Argentine fans in the distance. Some of them held a sign with a few words written in English:

"Our table tennis is not good, but our football is good! You are good at table tennis, but you are not good at football!"

Matt, too, noticed the sign and grinned without comment.

"However, there are quite a lot of Chinese fans. This is the first time I have seen so many Chinese people gathered together. I bet, I have never seen so many Chinese in Chinatown." Tony turned his gaze in another direction , there are all Chinese fans with black hair and yellow skin. In addition to their own physical characteristics, there is another sign that makes them particularly recognizable. They are basically wearing red shirts, even if they are not Chinese team jerseys, they are also red. T-shirt.

"Maybe Chinese from all over Europe are gathered here..." Matt was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and he murmured.

Although he has already watched two Olympic games of the Chinese team, this is the first time he has seen such a scene. Compared with the number of Chinese fans he saw outside the stadium in a few days, today may be those two times sum……

He thought to himself, are these fans here to witness the Chinese team qualifying?

I'm afraid not?

Maybe a lot of this is actually for watching Meli Banega play?

With Melly's fame, it should not be surprising that he has a huge number of fans in far away China.

After all, even my little nephew likes Merry...

Just as Tony was looking around and Matt was thinking wildly, they were caught by a pair of interview teams from China.

"Hello, we are reporters from China Central Television, may I interview you?"

The reporter with the microphone smiled and asked in fluent English.

Both Matt and Tony were surprised: "Why are you interviewing us?"

The reporter explained the reason. He pointed to the Chinese team jersey on Matt's body: "To be honest, it's really rare to see a Chinese team fan here... Are you a Chinese team fan?"

Matt nodded again and again: "Of course, of course, I am, I am a fan of Hu."

After speaking, he turned around and showed the number and name on the back of his jersey to the camera.

"That would be great. Uh, may I know your name?" the reporter asked.

"Matt." After speaking, Matt pointed to Tony Clark standing beside him, "Tony, my friend."

Tony Clark smiled at the camera, but didn't speak.

The reporter just nodded to Tony Clark, and locked his eyes on Matt: "Matt, do you know? In fact, you are already a celebrity on the Chinese Internet!"

"Celebrity?" Matt's eyes widened, and Tony next to him gave him a surprised look.

"Yes, as I said just now, after all, a foreigner wearing a Chinese jersey is too rare... Can you tell us how you became a fan of the Chinese team?"

"Ah, that's a long story!" Matt coughed, and then began to tell the story of him, LaiHu and Hu Lai to Chinese reporters.

※※※

"The above is the live report we sent back from outside the Santa Lucia Stadium..."

After the front reporter finished saying this, the TV broadcast cut to the rear studio, and the two hosts still had surprised expressions on their faces.

"I really didn't expect that such a foreigner fan would have such a relationship with our Hu Lai, connected through a football game... this is fate!"

"It was originally a character in the game,

Now that it has come to reality, it feels so dreamy! Oops, I have goosebumps all over..." The hostess showed her arm to show her partner.

※※※

"Aha, Tony. Did you hear what that reporter said just now? I'm a household name in China, and now I'm a celebrity!" Matt said happily to Tony.

"I was famous earlier than you, Matt. Maybe every Chinese family will have a statue of me!" Tony was not to be outdone.

"That's not sure, Tony. None of us have ever been to China. Maybe there's no statuette of you?"

The two bickered and walked towards the court.

On the road, Matt, who was wearing a Chinese jersey, was very eye-catching. After walking for a while, they were stopped by a group of Chinese fans, who strongly demanded to take a photo with Matt.

After the photo was taken, Matt smugly showed off to Tony: "Look what I just said? I'm a celebrity!"

Tony snorted, "You just got Hu's reputation. Just like what the reporter said, a foreign fan wearing a Chinese jersey is really rare."

"Heh." Matt rolled his eyes at his friend, then turned around and gave thumbs up to the Chinese fans who were looking at them, shouting: "CHINA!!"

Then, unsurprisingly, he won the house.

"You don't need to stay up late to watch today's game." Xie Lan said while putting the marinated vegetables she bought from the vegetable market on the tea table. "The first two games were in the middle of the night, I really couldn't stand it..."

Hu Lixin suddenly said: "Then you don't plan to watch the women's football match in the second half of the night?"

Xie Lan was stunned for a moment, showing a painful expression, as if he had struggled in his heart, and finally said: "Forget it...the women's football team has already qualified ahead of schedule, Qingqing will definitely not play in this last match...don't watch it, don't watch it .”

Hu Lixin was amused by his wife's tangled appearance, and he shook his head: "You are really a picky guy with a shaved head—a hot head. I don't know the real situation, so I'm just thinking here and there, and I'm not afraid of wasting my feelings."

"What kind of feelings can this waste? People's media have said that our son and Qingqing are high school classmates."

"A high school classmate is a high school classmate, will every high school classmate come together?"

"Oh, what do you know, old man?" Xie Lan didn't bother to say to her husband.

"You... start worrying about his other half now. Does he have to worry about when they will get married after he finds a girlfriend? After getting married, he has to worry about when they will have children? After he has one, he has to worry about the second child... ..."

"Go, go." Xie Lan waved his hands in disgust. "I don't worry about having children. Other women's football players, how can they play football if they have children so early? Do you give up your career? That's not okay. You must wait for Qingqing to retire before talking about having children."

"After retiring? How old are you?" Hu Lixin was taken aback.

Seeing that he was so surprised, Xie Lan asked back: "Hey, why are you worrying about it?"

Hu Lixin had a constipated expression on his face.

Xie Lan covered her mouth and smiled happily.

When Li Qingqing walked into the meeting room with Xu Wen, the TV in the meeting room was turned on, and the pictures of the two teams warming up on the field were being shown on the TV.

The Spanish narrator is chattering, but most people don't understand.

Li Qingqing played football in France for a year, and she could barely understand the general meaning of some words.

The narrator seemed to be talking about Hu Lai, perhaps praising him, because he seemed to say "very important".

Maybe it means that Hu Lai is very important to the Chinese team?

In the last game of the group stage, will the Olympic team go home?

Although Xu Wen has already analyzed the situation for her, Hu Lai and the Olympic team are doing very well. But Li Qingqing was still a little unwilling in his heart.

It was agreed to meet at the Olympics, but in the end they have never really met each other, and they are about to part...

Li Qingqing was unhappy.

how can this be

She has been looking forward to this Olympic Games since the beginning of the year.

A close-up shot of Hu Lai who was warming up appeared in the TV broadcast. He was playing a warm-up game with his teammates to grab the lap.

Are you not reconciled, Hu Lai?

Li Qingqing looked at the figure on the TV screen and asked in his heart.

※※※

The scene of the players warming up ended, and it was cut back to the rear studio, where the host and commentators sat behind the table and faced the camera lens.

"Okay, just now is the warm-up scene of the two sides earlier. Now they have returned to their respective locker rooms and are making final preparations for the start of the game. So, what do you think of this game, Director Zhang?" The host said for Next to him is the younger guest reviewer, Zhang Rang, a well-known domestic football critic.

Seventy-year-old Zhang Rang is wrinkled, gray-haired, and has huge eye bags that look like he hasn't slept well.

But he is a TV football commentator very familiar to many Chinese fans. He has been a guest commentator on the CCTV platform for more than 30 years. Many Chinese fans must have the guidance of Zhang in their memories of European professional football leagues. "Hey hey" sound.

After being asked, Zhang Rang nodded first, and then said: "There is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, but I think the Chinese team is not without a chance. Although the three-back formation is conducive to Argentina's wing attack, it liberates the two sides. players, let them invest more in the attack. But if we can be more active in the wing attack, maybe we can press the two wing backs of Argentina back, so that we can get more numbers in the midfield advantage... In addition, Argentina's defense has old problems. Their left center back Santiago Sweeney has a hot temper, is impulsive, and often makes some inexplicable mistakes. It's time to show…”

After Zhang Rang talked eloquently, he finally came to a conclusion: "I think the Chinese team should defend and counterattack after the opening, first withstand the offensive of Argentina after the opening, and at the same time kill the morale of the opponent. Then wait for an opportunity to counterattack, relying on the two wings The speed and the efficiency of Hu Lai in the middle may not be without the ability to compete with Argentina."

※※※

In the locker room of the Chinese team, Shi Wuyin said to his players with a serious expression: "Argentina definitely hopes to get enough goal difference from us, so it is completely predictable that they will attack us quickly after the game starts." Offensive. In this case, there must be a lot of space behind them. This is an opportunity we can take advantage of. If the timing is right, we must resolutely counterattack. At the same time, when we counterattack, Du Wanqing, you have to withdraw to protect the defender Wire."

Du Wanqing, whose name was called, replied with his head held high and his chest held high: "Understood, guide Shi!"

As the Olympic team's substitute defensive midfielder, Du Wanqing was able to start in such an important game because the original main defender Zeng Chi was injured in the last Chinese team's game against Belgium, and the results of the post-match inspection were not optimistic. , He will be out for a month due to injury, which is regarded as an early farewell to the Olympics.

In Hu Lai's system vision, a chain of light had already appeared above Du Wanqing's head.

The last [Consonance Card] in Aoyun gift pack was used on him, and the other two cards were used in the last match.

In the last game, Shi Wuyin Shi made adjustments to the team's starting lineup, and Hu Lai used up two [Consonance Cards] at that time.

Seeing that Du Wanqing didn't show any nervousness, Shi Wuyin nodded in satisfaction.

He turned to tell other players.

In short, the tactics of the Chinese team after the opening can be summed up in two words: counterattack

It is impossible for Argentina to deal with the Chinese team slowly. On the one hand, they are stronger than the Chinese team in terms of strength, and the players naturally cannot have that kind of mentality. On the other hand, they need more goal difference, and they don't have time to dawdle and play foreplay with the Chinese team. In this way, when they press forward to attack, the Chinese team will hit right behind them. After all, the Chinese team has a speed advantage on the wing. Whether it is Luo Kai or Chen Xingyi, their speed is not slow.

After the tactical part was finished, he looked around the locker room, his eyes passing over the faces of every Olympic team player in turn.

Under his watch, everyone looked at their head coach very quietly.

After just looking around, Shi Wuyin said: "In a few minutes, our last group match in the Olympics will start, but I don't want this to be our last match in the Olympics. At the beginning When the grouping results came out, both the media and the fans were very pessimistic about our future in the Olympics. But I don’t see it that way, and I am very satisfied with the grouping results. What is the purpose of our participation in the Olympics? Is it for tourism? ?Of course not. We want to be able to fight against the world's top opponents on the stage of the Olympic Games. Some of these opponents may not even be able to invite us to spend money. Even if we invite them, warm up Can the competition be compared to the Olympic competition? So, to be in a group with three strong teams, for us, we couldn't be more lucky."

Speaking of this, Shi Wuyin spread his hands: "Through the first two games, I have seen your progress, and I believe you can feel the gains yourself. This kind of gain will definitely be helpful to your future career. Next There is still one more game to play against the world-class team Argentina. I think this is also a good opportunity for us to learn from them. So in the next game, we will try our best to see how much weight we have in front of the world-class team. Two!"
