World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 222 The Second Battle in Morocco

"The high-profile Chinese Olympic team finally made history in Sydney!"

"Despite worrying the fans for 85 minutes."

"But at the last moment, Li Tie's goal still rewrote the men's football record of zero goals in the history of the Olympic Games."

"At the same time, this 1-0 match against Chile is also the first victory in the history of the men's football Olympic Games."

"The former head coach of the national team, Gao Fengwen, said after the game that this result stems from the 'never give up' spirit of the young Olympic players, and it fulfilled the wishes of the Chinese people who saw the Olympic goals and victory."

"I hope that the Olympic Games will present more exciting games to the fans in the upcoming games." ——Reported by Xinhua News Agency.

As the saying goes, the iron tree blooms and the mute speaks, which are rare situations.

After returning from Jianlibao, Li Tie has always been labeled "rough skills" and "able to run" by fans.

It seems that except for his unlimited physical ability, no matter whether he shoots or shoots, he can't be compared with Li Tie.

But this precious Olympic goal was scored by this rough guy.

After the game, the media not only lamented Li Tie's success, but also praised Zeng Zheng for his foresight, sending Li Tie to Spain early to hone his skills.

After winning the first Olympic victory, a team reporter approached Zeng Zheng and asked, "Will this goal make Li Tie a secret weapon that can't be attacked for a long time?"

Zeng Zheng shook his head.

"We should see that there is a huge difference between the Olympic Games and the usual training matches and friendly matches."

"Even if these teams don't pay much attention to the Olympic Games, they are still strong players from all continents who have entered the finals, and they should not be underestimated."

"This game against Chile, I don't want to talk about the result and how lucky we were."

"I think we should learn from the experience in this game."

"As for the 'secret weapon', there is no need for a confident strong team. We just need to play as we usually do in training."

Zeng Zheng's answer was sonorous and forceful, and the reporters nodded repeatedly.

Although Zeng Zheng has learned to play bureaucratic accents in the past few months, Zeng Zheng has never disappointed reporters and fans in his speeches to boost morale.

Knowing the players and the team, this is the root of Zeng Zheng's self-confidence!
Reporter: "Then Coach Zeng, what do you think of the second opponent in the Olympic Games?"

Zeng Zheng: "As I said, any team that reaches the Olympic finals should not be underestimated."

"Of course, no matter what opponent I face, I will do my best to win."

"If we can get six points before the game against Spain, then the initiative will be in our hands."

The team gets 6 points?
Hearing this number, the reporters cheered up again.

Since the National Olympic training camp in mid-August, countless experts, scholars, ball critics, and hosts have offered advice and suggestions for the National Olympics.

Among them, the most popular one is the promotion theory of one win, one draw and one loss, which is generally considered by fans to be the most reliable result.

As the head coach, Zeng Zheng has never said in public how many points he will score in the group stage, which opponent he will defeat, and whether he will advance.

This time, Zeng Zheng actually said the word "6 points", so at least two signals were sent out.

[-]: After winning the first battle, Zeng Zheng’s self-confidence is great, and he may be fully prepared to win Morocco;

Two: Maybe Zeng Zheng didn't intend to fight to the death with Spain from the very beginning.
When the news came back to China, everyone was happy.

Older fans wrote letters to TV stations and newspapers, praising the Olympic Games, Li Tie, and Zeng Zheng;

Young college students crowded the computer clubs around the school one after another, and posted their wishes for the Olympic Games online.

"Ha, I've already said it, Coach Zeng won't count points like that, the co-authorship has been planned long ago!"

"Coach Zeng is Coach Zeng, and he is different from other coaches before! Even if Coach Zeng's team loses, it has to be vigorous!"

"Coach Zeng led the National Youth Championship to win the World Youth Championship. This National Olympics has been with him for the longest time. Can't you come back with an Olympic champion this time?"

"Oh! If only Coach Zeng was born a few years earlier!"

The fans talked a lot and offered their suggestions for the group's second match against Morocco.

Chile has won, can little Morocco still beat it?
Fans are looking forward to it these days, waiting for the second game of the Olympic Games.

During this period, the first match of the women's football team also started.

The eight teams in the Olympic finals are the top seven in last year's World Cup and host Australia.

The Chinese team and Australia are listed as seeded teams and belong to different groups.

Just like in the United States, after arriving in Sydney, I was also "trapped" by the host.

The four teams of Norway, China, Taramerica and Nigeria were divided into Group B.

In other words, at least one of the top three teams in the women's football team in the last Olympic Games must be eliminated in the group stage.

In the first match of the women's football team in Nigeria, Zhao Lihong broke into the penalty area from the left wing and scored a goal in the 1th minute, helping the team lead 0-[-] in the first half.

In the 2nd minute of the second half, Sun Wen scored to make it 0-[-].

In the [-]rd minute, Sun Wen made another victory and scored twice.

But then Xie Huilin, who just came on the field, fouled in the area and gave the opponent a penalty kick.

In the end, the women's football team defeated Nigeria 3-1 and also won the first victory of this Olympic Games.

Both men's and women's football blossomed, and the fans laughed happily.

On September 9, the Canberra Stadium, the National Olympic Games against Morocco.

With a 1-0 victory in the first game, the prospect of qualifying has become clear.

In the last round of the game, Spain 2-0 Morocco, currently ranked first in Group B due to goal difference.

If the National Olympics can win this battle again, then the third game is almost invincible.

Among the three teams currently representing Asia, Little Days won two games and Kuwait won one and lost one, all of which are likely to qualify.

Is the National Olympics dragging Asia back or speaking for Asia?

The eyes of all Asian fans are focused on the Olympic Games.

In this game, Zeng Zheng made some adjustments to the starting lineup.

The goalkeeper is still Liu Yunfei, and the defenders are Yang Pu, General Fan, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai.

Zheng Zhi and Li Tie partnered as double midfielders, while Zhang Xiaorui and Shao Jia served as left and right midfielders.

The forwards are Zhang Yuxie and Li Jinyu.

After the opening, the National Olympics started to attack and quickly launched an impact on the opponent.

In the first two offensives, Zhang Xiaorui passed the ball into the Moroccan penalty area, and in the 3rd minute formed an excellent chance to score!
At that time, Zhang Xiaorui broke through the middle and suddenly distributed the ball to the right wing of the penalty area. Sun Jiha's cross was just right.

Just like in the previous game, "Old Black" Zhang Yuxuan got the upper hand and failed to score, and still failed to open his scoring account.

Morocco's counterattack was also very quick.

With the Chilean team playing for them, the Morocco coach took the lead and beat the Olympic team to the rear of the wing that came up.

Facing the opponent's same fast-paced attack, Sun Jihai retreated quickly after inserting an assist, which protected the safety of the backcourt.

If the opponent continues to fight like this, it depends on how long the two sides of the Olympic Games can last.

In the 8th minute, Morocco made a long pass again.

Although General Fan cleared the ball, the ball did not reach far. The Moroccan winger continued to organize after getting the ball from the right wing and passed the ball low into the penalty area again.

This time, the Moroccan center calmly dribbled horizontally after getting the ball in the center of the penalty area, dodging Li Weifeng and General Fan one after another.

After widening the angle, Moroccan No. 11 slammed his foot and shot against Liu Yunfei who was close at hand.

At such a close distance, even Ou Chuliang couldn't help closing his eyes.

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound.

Liu Yunfei fell to the ground.

However, the ball did not threaten the goal behind him.

At the moment when the Moroccan striker kicked, Zheng Zhifei, who made up for him, came forward and blocked the inevitable goal from the bottom line with his midfielder.

"Xiaozhi, good job!"

"Well blocked, Xiao Zhi!"

"Xiaozhi, this ball is really good!"

After the crisis came into contact, teammates gave Zheng Zhi a thumbs up.

Zheng Zhi, who was only 20 years old, patted the back of his head naively in the sound of "Xiao Zhi", lost himself.

Twenty years later, when all his teammates retired, "Xiaozhi" also became the "captain".

Zheng Zhi, who still used the sliding shovel to clear the siege for the national football team, could no longer find the feeling of being praised at the beginning.

Although the goal was missed, it also sounded the alarm for the Olympic Games.

There is no perfect tactic in the world, even the team led by Zeng Zheng.

In an arena like the Olympics, every team is studied under a microscope by its opponents.

So it is normal for the other party to discover their own weaknesses and take advantage of them.

For Zeng Zheng and Guoao, scoring goals as soon as possible is the most important thing at the moment!

Under the urging of Zeng Zheng, the Olympic Games once again accelerated the impact of the two sides.

But in the face of the opponent's intensive defense, even Zhang Xiaorui, who is outstanding in dribbling, was speechless again and again.

It is often that after taking a circle in front of the opponent's penalty area, they can't find a suitable pass opportunity, and then pass the ball back to reorganize the attack.

If there are too many times to reorganize the attack in this way, it is inevitable that the opponent will seize the opportunity.

In the 15th minute, Morocco made a long pass.

Li Weifeng, who was running at the back, was out of shape when he faced the ball with his big foot to clear the siege, and even kicked the ball.

Upon seeing this, the Moroccan striker immediately broke off the ball and then charged forward.

Fortunately, the opponent's striker didn't pay much attention to this opportunity. He took a long shot before the top of the penalty area, and the ball soared into the sky and flew into the stands.

After the Guozihao competition, it has always been one of the traditions to prevent hairy hands and feet.

The tactical panel has been arranged luxuriously enough, but this kind of "metaphysical" thing is not like the "Koreaphobia" that has formed practical effects.

Apart from yelling at Li Weifeng to remind him to concentrate, there was nothing Zeng Zheng could do.

But Zeng Zheng believes that as long as he leads the team to participate in more world competitions, he can accumulate more competition experience.

After the self-confidence of the players and the team is cultivated, this situation will naturally disappear.

Three minutes later, Morocco once again took advantage of the failed pass from the Olympic Games and played a quick counterattack.

Fortunately, the National Olympics has been well prepared for this time.

Zheng Zhi, who ran ahead of time, ran to the path of the ball first, stuck his position firmly, and intercepted the ball.

During the opening 20 minutes or so, Zheng Zhi, who was the youngest on the court, was actually the most active player.

Even the corner kick after 1 minute was taken by Zheng Zhi.

It's a pity that before Zhang Yuhe grabbed the point, he was pushed out of the penalty area by his opponent.

Although it can't attack, the National Olympics is not without advantages.

As in the previous game, the Olympic team took control of the midfield after the start of the game.

As long as the Olympic offense wants to slow down, the opponent has nothing to do.

In contrast, Zheng Zhi and Li Tie's two midfielders' skills are below the average;
So Li Jinyu deliberately retreated and joined the passing and receiving organization.

In the 28th minute, the well-polished National Olympics once again had a good chance.

After Li Tie, Shao Jiayi, Zhang Xiaorui, and Li Jinyu made several consecutive passes in the frontcourt, the ball came to Zhang Xiaorui's feet again.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaorui was going to make a pass, the Moroccan defender subconsciously stretched out his foot to block it in advance.

However, this was just Zhang Xiaorui's false move.

The Jinmen boy made a fake move and dribbled past the defender who was close at hand.

Take a big step and break into the restricted area.

After attracting the opponent's two players to defend, he kicked decisively and knocked across the middle.

Li Jinyu, who rushed to the goal, shot the ball vigorously. After the ball hit the Moroccan defender, it was refracted and flew to the other direction of the goalkeeper.

But still unlucky, the ball went out of the goal frame.

Although the ball was missed, the shot aroused the fighting spirit of the players on the field.

It seems that as long as you calm down, you can still create opportunities!
In the 35th minute, it was Zhang Xiaorui who launched an offensive on the right.

After the ball was obliquely passed into the penalty area, Zhang Yuzheng fell to the ground at the same time as the opponent's defender while grabbing a position, but the referee ignored it.

After 1 minute, the Olympic Games expelled the left corner kick.

After the corner kick was taken, Zhang Yuxi nodded the ball back from behind the penalty area, and the Moroccan player blocked the ball.

Seeing the opponent's arm shaking, Li Jinyu who was close at hand hurriedly raised his hand and shouted:

"Handball, handball! Referee, he has a handball!"

Seeing this, the other players also raised their right hands, roaring and looking at the referee.

The nervous Moroccan defender didn't care about anything else. After kicking the ball out of bounds, he ran to the referee to protest.

Moroccans are still young.

On the football field, the referee's whistle didn't sound, just play normally.

Acting like this now, it really feels like there is no silver 300 taels here.

Seeing this, Zeng Zheng hurriedly arranged for his team members to step forward one after another to put pressure on the referee.

"Referee, this ball is handball, handball!"

"Referee, they have a handball in the penalty area, which interferes with the ball path!"

"Referee, they handballed it on purpose!"

Several Olympic players were making noise, and even Zheng Zhi broke through the crowd and rushed forward.

Relying on his good English, Zheng Zhi tilted his neck, pointed to his hand, and "popularized" the referee about FIFA's handball rules.

Perhaps it was frightened by Zheng Zhi's "reasonable and well-founded" terrifying appearance.

After discussing with the linesman for a few words, the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick.

"Ha, what a penalty!" Seeing that the referee really awarded a penalty, Zeng Zheng, who was accidentally suffocated, didn't even notice the system's notification sound.

"Give it to Zhang Yuhe! Give it to Zhang Yuhe!" Zeng Zheng's voice was heard by several people around the ball.

As the first penalty shooter in the team, Li Jinyu handed the ball to Zhang Yuxie without saying anything, and walked out of the penalty area.

Although the two were not teammates of Liaozu in this life, they were good buddies when they played in Zhang Yin's courtyard.

Between buddies, there is no need to repeat!

Facing the Moroccan goalkeeper who was more nervous than himself, Zhang Yuhan took a deep breath and started to run.

boom!
Swish!
The ball kicks and falls.

The bold Zhang Yuxie actually chose the middle road!
When the Moroccan goalkeeper saved it early, it was already doomed to lose the ball.

"Beep!!!"

The referee whistles and the goal is valid.

"The ball has been scored!!!"

In the microphone, Huang Jianxiang's passionate roar came again.

Different from Sun Zhengping, Liu Jianhong, and Zhang Heihe's conservative and rigid commentators, Huang Jianxiang's passionate way of commentary won the support and approval of many fans.

"It was Zhang Yuchen who scored the goal!"

"The first minute."

"Zhang Yuhan from Liaozu scored the first goal for the National Olympics with a penalty kick."

"The current score on the field is 1 to 0, and the Olympic team is temporarily ahead!"

"We can see it in slow motion."

"Zhang Yuxie chose the middle lane"

"Shoot very decisively!"

"The National Olympics is leading 1-0."

"The first half is coming to an end."

"To go into half-time with a score like that would definitely be a huge boost in morale."

After scoring the goal, Zhang Yuxi rushed to the sidelines quickly, stretched out his right arm and leaped high.

Then he seemed to remember something, turned around and ran to his own bench.

On the sidelines, stood a group of staff and substitutes cheering for the goal.

"Boss Zeng, thank you!"

Zhang Yuxi, who is 1.8 meters seven, jumped into Zeng Zheng's arms with one stride.

Zeng Zheng patted Zhang Yuxie on the back: "Kick it well, don't let everyone down!"
