Fox in the Penalty Area

"Fox of the Restricted Zone ()" Find the latest chapter!

The players of the Argentine Olympic team, led by their captain Juan Sousa, went to the players of the Chinese Olympic team to perform one of the fixed rituals before the game - shaking hands with the opposing players.

After shaking hands, players from both sides will take their positions, leaving only the captains of the two teams to exchange team flags and choose sides, and then the game will begin.

For the Argentine players, they can't wait for the game to start quickly.

As long as they win the Chinese team, they will have the right to qualify.

But it is not enough to just win the Chinese team, because they still have to compete with Belgium for the first place in the group. They don't want to take the second place in the group, and then go against the host Spain, the first group in Group A-all the group matches of Group A ended yesterday, and the host Spanish Olympic team is also the favorite to win three games and win three games. Scored ten goals and kept one goal, and won the first place in the group.

According to the rules of engagement of the Olympic men's football event, the first in Group A will meet the second in Group B in the knockout round.

Neither Belgium nor Argentina wanted to be second in this hapless group.

At present, the two teams have the same four points, and whether it is the goal difference or the total number of goals, or the relationship between each other, the goal difference between the games... are exactly the same.

The key to deciding who can win the first place in the group lies in the final round of the group stage.

Belgium not only have to beat Nigeria, but also get as much goal difference as possible.

In comparison, Argentina's situation is better than them, because Argentina's opponent in the last round of the group stage is recognized as the weakest Chinese team in the group.

It is not a problem for them to beat the Chinese team. The difficulty of winning more goal difference on the Chinese team is definitely much lower than that of Belgium on Nigeria.

So despite the same score as Belgium, the Argentine media and fans were still very optimistic before the game.

As long as they can appear as the first in the group, with the strength of the Argentine Olympic team, it is very likely that they will reach the final all the way.

After reaching the finals, even if they meet the host Spain, they are not afraid. If they fight hard, they will be the Olympic champions!

The players of the Argentine Olympic team shook hands with the players of the Chinese Olympic team one by one.

Because they are not familiar with each other, this kind of handshake is really just a procedure. The two sides shake hands very quickly, and the fingertips lightly touch each other's palms, and then they separate. No pats on the shoulders or greetings—I don’t understand the language, so what is there to say?

But when Meli Banega held Hou Lai, an accident happened.

According to the habit, Merry wanted to shake the other party lightly and then separate, but he couldn't pull his hand back—his hand was tightly held by the other party.

He looked down at the other party's hand, then raised his head to look at the other party with surprised eyes, and saw the other party smiled and said to himself: "Hello, Meli, I'm Hu Lai."

He was speaking...Spanish!

Mei Li's eyes widened, and he forgot to speak for a while, and he still pulled his hand out forcefully by reflex.

His strange behavior caught the attention of his teammates behind him—it was hard not to attract attention, everyone just shook hands as soon as they came, and left like a superficial shake, without stopping at all. As a result, he was delayed at Meli's place, and the teammates behind him almost didn't stop the car and hit him directly.

"What's the matter, Melly?" Ramon Cantero asked from across the room.

Mei Li felt that the other party let go of his hand, he quickly took it back, and then said to his friend: "It's nothing..."

After speaking, he continued to walk forward, and at the same time looked back suspiciously at Hu Lai, who still kept smiling.

Just want to say hello to yourself?

He handed out his hand and separated from the next player of the Chinese team with a light touch.

The next one was also separated with a light touch. No one held his hand very passionately like that Hu Lai.

Meli Banega has played many games, and I don't know how many people have shaken hands before the game.

I have never been held tightly by someone...

Ramon Cantero looked at Houlei while shaking hands and said in Spanish: "You are lucky, boy, you have the honor to play with Meli Banega, that's enough for a year .”

He didn't expect Hu Lai to understand, so he let go of his hand after speaking.

But he didn't make it, because his hand was also firmly held by Hu Lai.

It was like a dog who wanted to run wildly but was tied by a rope. His body was tilted out and the rope was stretched straight.

It's just that the rope was replaced by his hand.

Cantero looked back at Hu Lai in surprise.

The bastard he thought was lucky looked at him with a smile: "And you are very unlucky, because your opponent is me."

After the start of the game, as the guest commentator Zhang Rang predicted, Argentina directly launched a fierce offensive against the goal of the Chinese Olympic team without any temptation.

In the last round of the group stage, the two games were played simultaneously.

They don't know what will happen in another stadium, they can only do their best to do their own things well.

So they have to try to score goals as soon as possible.

The players of the Chinese Olympic team, according to the pre-match arrangement of the head coach Shi Wuyin, shrunk up to defend like a fist.

Seeing such a scene, Shi Wuyin who was off the field let out a sigh of relief, and said to Li Zhifei, "Old Li, I made a right guess this time."

Li Zhifei smiled.

Although the Chinese team drew with Nigeria in the first game and received a lot of praise from the outside world, he knew that Shi Wuyin had always felt guilty and remorseful for himself.

Because if he hadn't been careless and miscalculated Nigeria's reaction, the Chinese team might have a chance to win that game.

And if the Chinese team can win and get three points, it will be much easier to face Argentina now.

Neither coach allowed the elation to last long as they saw Argentina's No. 10, number one star, ace, Meli Banega "The Falcon" receive the ball.

There were also deafening screams and cheers from the stands at the Santa Lucia stadium.

He Feng, a CCTV commentator who was present at the scene, raised his voice and shouted, "Merry is here!"

Meli, who pulled to the right and received the ball, began to take the ball diagonally to the penalty area.

"Mine!" Gao Ruimin yelled and pushed forward.

Then he was easily swayed by Melly.

The rest of Du Wanqing was a little embarrassed...

Can't make it?

Come on, what if Melly passes behind me? And the coach asked me to protect the space in front of the back line...

No, let the opponent remain unmarked like this, what if he kicks and shoots?

Fortunately, captain Guo Junfu returned to defense in time, posted it up, and at the same time called Du Wanqing loudly: "Keep your position!"

That's why Du Wanqing didn't easily lose his position to defend against Meli.

After Guo Junfu posted Mei Li, Gao Ruimin, who was passed off, also quickly returned to defense and posted him again.

The two surrounded Meli on the left and the right, but they couldn't break the football from Meli's feet. It looked as if they were escorting Meli to the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

In the past, I only watched videos of Meli playing football on TV and the Internet. After playing with him for the first time, both Guo Junfu and Gao Ruimin found that Meli's sense of the ball is really good. With every step he takes the ball, the distance between the football and him is kept just right, making it impossible for defensive players to get down. If you must make a steal, it is very likely to foul.

However, due to his current position, the Chinese players dare not even commit fouls...

In this way, Meli took the ball and approached the Chinese team's penalty area.

In addition to the two Chinese players beside him, there is also a Chinese midfielder Du Wanqing in front of him.

Seeing that he had attracted three people by his side, he planned to pass the ball.

But he took the time to observe, only to find that there were no good passing opportunities - the Chinese team didn't really focus everyone's defensive attention on him, they also reserved a force to defend the other Argentines players.

There are not too many loopholes in the overall defense line, which can be exploited by him.

In desperation, Meli slammed the football sideways, opened the angle with Du Wanqing, who was defending him, and forced a shot with his left foot.

Lin Zhiyuan flew horizontally and missed the ball.

Because after the football draws an arc, it flies around the goal and flies out of the baseline.

"The shot missed! Melly missed the shot!" He Feng announced happily.

Shi Wuyin and Li Zhifei in front of the coach's bench let out a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and then looked at each other.

"Our tactical arrangement worked." Li Zhifei said.

Shi Wuyin nodded: "Although it is a bit thrilling..."

"After all, it's Meili, and his personal ability is the strongest in this age group." Li Zhifei said. "The important thing is that our defensive line is not messed up. Whether it is a central defender or a full-back, they are all in their own positions. It is right to let Du Wanqing stay in front of the defensive line to protect, lest Meli directly face our central defender, then it is over. .”

Head coach Rosas put his head in his hands in front of the substitute Argentine coach's bench, regretting that Meli missed this opportunity.

But soon he put his hands down, clapped his hands hard, and shouted from the sidelines to let the team continue to play like this.

He believes that as long as they continue to put pressure on the defense of the Chinese Olympic team, they will definitely not be able to maintain their performance in this defense, and there will definitely be loopholes in a certain defense.

"Oh..." Xie Lan patted his heart with his hands, and sighed with lingering fear, "Isn't this Mei Li too powerful? Three people can't stop him..."

"After all, he is recognized as the strongest young player in the world. He has good skills, good touch, fast foot frequency, and fast starting speed. Apart from only using his left foot and being not tall, as an assaulter, he has almost no weaknesses." Hu Lixin explained next to him.

"It's so powerful, how can we play against others? Don't we let them enter casually?"

"That's not what I said... You see, the Olympic team did a good job defending this time. Although they went up to surround Meli with three people, no one in the front back line moved, and they all defended themselves. In terms of position, there will be no chance for other Argentines to run open. So Meli can only kick himself in the end. In fact, he is already at the end of his strength." Hu Lixin patiently explained to his wife.

In the past, he didn't like to explain too much to his wife while watching the game, but since he decided to take the coaching certificate, he took explaining to his wife while watching the game as a kind of training to train his football thinking.

After hearing her husband's explanation, Xie Lan became optimistic again: "In short, we are not as weak as we thought! Then can we win? If we win, maybe we can qualify?"

Hu Lixin rubbed his temples: "You're jumping too fast... Every player on the back line of the Olympic team needs to be tense all the time in order to be able to defend an attack. Do you think they can maintain this state of play?" How long? In short, you don't care about the final result, anyway, as long as Hu Lai scores the goal, you should be satisfied."

"Then can our son score a goal?"

Hu Lixin thought for a while, and then said: "If the opponent's defense makes a mistake, there is still a chance..."

"Okay!" Xie Lan slapped violently, "Then wait for the other party to make a mistake!"

Hu Lixin rolled his eyes at his wife, saying that he made a mistake if he made a mistake? Is it such an easy mistake?

He felt that it didn't make sense for him to like this woman. As long as his son was involved, his IQ would plummet...

He didn't say a word anymore, but pretended to be focused on watching the game, so as to avoid his wife coming to ask him questions again.

Beside him, Xie Lan stopped talking and watched the game on the TV screen seriously.

Argentina launched another attack.
