Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 412
Obviously, the Chileans are unwilling to let the Chinese team win their own two goals.

It doesn't matter if you lose one goal. It is very difficult for the Spanish team to catch up with the gap of five goals. Chile is still the first in the group, but if you lose two goals, then Chile will be at least under the pressure of the Chinese team, let alone There is also the possibility of being knocked out of the quarter-finals by Spain. Even becoming No.2 in this group is not acceptable to the Chilean team.

The match in Group A had ended the day before. The Italian Olympic team, which had two victories in two games, drew with the Nigerian Olympic team and won the first place in Group A. The top two teams in Group A and B played against each other. In other words, the opponent of the Italian Olympic team in the quarter-finals will be No.2 in Group B.

Although Nigeria was the champion of the last Olympic Games, for Chile, they would rather meet the defending champion than fight against the mighty Italy - and compared with the last Olympic Games, because most of the famous players are unwilling to participate in the Olympic Games, Nigeria's strength is much worse than the previous one.

Among the strong European teams, Italy is probably the most concerned about this Olympic Games. In order to allow players to better display their strength in the Olympic Games, they even postponed this season's Serie A, and postponed the start of Serie A. By mid-October, the lineup they sent was equally strong. As the champions of the European Youth Championship, their team had many famous players. The goalkeeper was Abbiati, who made great contributions to AC Milan's victory in the 98-99 season. Koko was on the defense line. , Ferrari, Gattuso and Ambrosini from AC Milan in midfield, Pirlo from Inter Milan, Zanetti from Roma, Zambrotta and Maresca from Juventus , and the forward line is played by Ventola, who was quite prominent in Inter Milan in the previous two seasons. Almost all the players are young talents who have made a big splash in Serie A in recent years. In terms of the number of stars, they are even more than Brazil. outstanding!
You know, Brazil didn't pay much attention to this Olympic Games. The only future star in their team that Pei Wei is familiar with is Ronaldinho, like the legendary Cafu, Rivaldo, Ronaldo and others before the Olympic Games. Didn't come to Sydney, but what about the Italian Olympic team?There are three members of the 06 world championship team alone!
Chile is here for the championship this time. Naturally, they are not willing to encounter the biggest favorites in the first knockout match. Therefore, after falling behind by one goal, the head coach of the Chilean team sent Zamorano. The intention is simple, even if the score cannot be recovered, at least the Chinese team must be deterred so that they cannot expand the score again.

As soon as Zamorano came on the field, the defenders of the Chinese team felt even more pressure. Although the famous striker has begun to enter the twilight years of his career and has almost no place in Inter Milan, he is thin and strong. " The defenders of the Chinese team will immediately understand the horror of "Ivan the Terror".

The Chilean team attacked from the side. Zamorano ran in the middle of the penalty area. Zhu Guosheng went up to mark him, trying to rely on his youth and good health to squeeze the opponent so that the opponent could not grab the spot.

His wishful thinking was pretty good, but unfortunately, the opponent didn't confront him head-on at all. When Zhu Guosheng tried his best to squeeze Zamorano away, the opponent deftly dodged his squeeze and turned around. , turned behind Zhu Guosheng who lost his balance, and then jumped high. When Zhu Guosheng turned around, he had already shaken his head and attacked the goal.

This header shot finally missed the bottom line, but it also shocked all the players in the Chinese team's back line into a cold sweat.

"Fan! Keep an eye on Zamorano! Zhu, you lag behind!" Milu stood up and shouted into the court twice. Although the Chinese language was blunt, both General Fan and Zhu Guosheng understood what he meant.

General Fan has speed and body, which happens to be similar to Zamorano's type, and as he grows older, General Fan's irritability has changed a lot, and his defense has become more sophisticated, and he will not be easily broken by the opponent. , and Zhu Guosheng has been playing the position of Yunjiatianyu as a central defender after Materacci left Yunjiatianyu. Although his speed is not very fast, he is stable enough. The young center back.

Although Milu's changes stopped the Chilean team's offensive momentum, the Chilean team's goal has basically been achieved. After being suppressed for a while, the Chinese team has no ability to counterattack. Although Nie Fei's breakthrough and Zhang Xiaorui led the way in the midfield, but the two sides have been suppressed by the opponent, and there is no way to provide enough support for the offense.

Seeing the passing of minutes and seconds, Milu's worries became more and more serious.

There is still no news from the other field, which means that the score there is still [-]-[-]. This fact has also made Milu hesitate to use the last substitution to strengthen the offense-after all, if Spain only If they can win two goals, it is enough for the Chinese team to win one. Now Chile's offensive threat is also great. There is no need to fight for the first place in the group and risk being eliminated from the quarterfinals.

The time has come to No. 80 minutes, and there are only 10 minutes left before the end of the game. What Milou is afraid of is the news that Spain is leading by three goals at the end of the game. That's too late.

However, at this time, he still did not dare to make up his mind.

**********************************************
"Milu's heart is a little messed up." Pei Wei in front of the TV commented: "He cares too much about the result of another game... In fact, no one can ignore it, and it is really difficult to make a decision, because It is very difficult for the Chinese team to gain a two-goal lead - the most terrible thing is that the use of one goal to win the opponent depends entirely on whether the Spanish team can score the third goal."

"If it's me, who cares, attack with all our might! I'd rather win by two goals or draw than keep my current advantage!" Old Man Su raised his white eyebrows and said proudly.

"Grandpa, you don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk..." Su Mei said with a smile: "You know, entering the quarter-finals and stopping in the group stage are the same as heaven and earth... Even if you enter the quarter-finals and get eliminated, the final result will be the same. It's better than being eliminated in the group - the gap between No.8 and No.9 is a qualitative gap."

"Is there any difference between No.2 and the last place? If you want to win, you should take the first place." Mr. Su's violent temper when he was young has not diminished at all. idea.

"But after all, there is only one champion. No one can deny that it is very difficult for Chinese football to win the World Cup. At least it will be difficult to win in the past ten or twenty years, but we can not go because of this. Do football only engage in those sports that can win championships?" Pei Wei said from the side: "Just like the Anti-Japanese War at that time, we kept accumulating small victories, and it was only after a protracted war that we slowly drove the Japanese devils out of China. At the beginning, the Kuomintang always thought of accomplishing all its merits in one battle, but in the end they were constantly annihilated by the opponent—the reason is the same, No.20 and No.8 seem to be the same, but there is a big difference in meaning.”

Mr. Su gave Pei Wei a sideways look, and suddenly burst out laughing: "My good boy, you are really good at giving this example...My grandson-in-law, my grandson-in-law's eloquence is extraordinary!"

Su Mei smiled and glanced at Pei Wei, her expression was exactly the same as Mr. Su's: "That's needless to say? Otherwise, how could I have been deceived by him!"

"Don't talk about it, let's see how the Spanish game is going." Pei Wei quickly changed the topic. On the outside, but still concerned about the future of the Chinese team.

I just switched the channel to the sports channel (because Chinese fans are very concerned about the two simultaneous games, so the match between China and Chile was arranged on CCTV [-], and the match against Spain was arranged on CCTV [-]). There was a sharp whistle!

"The game is over?" Pei Wei said in astonishment: "No, it was only 89 minutes just now. It's impossible for Spain to make up one minute of stoppage time, right?"

Su Mei opened her mouth wide, looked at the Spanish players who were celebrating wildly on TV, and stammered, "Pei Wei...a penalty...Spain won a penalty..."

Only then did Pei Wei come to his senses. On the TV, the referee's hand was pointing at the penalty spot in the penalty area of ​​Morocco, with a blank expression on his face. The surrounding Spanish players were embracing each other, celebrating the penalty kick won at the last moment of the game!

********************************************
Milu was looking at his watch. It was already 10 minutes. At this time, he suddenly saw the staff in the locker room stumbled out of the player tunnel, facing another staff member who was guarding the entrance of the player tunnel. The staff member said something, and then the staff member's face immediately turned pale!
Milu's heart suddenly shrank into a ball. He stared blankly at the No. 1 staff member running back to the locker room, and the No. 2 staff member quickly ran towards him with a mournful expression on his face.

"Penalty ... Spain just got a penalty ... just now," he said in a trembling voice.

There was a soft sound, which was the sound of the mineral water bottle in the hand of the assistant coach Tang Pengju falling to the ground.

"Bang!" Chu Guanghu sat down on the chair, fell backwards, and then hit his head heavily on the backrest.

Milu closed his eyes tightly and his body trembled, but he stood firm and did not say a word.
