The strongest winger

Chapter 665 Overtime

Since the place of the foul was only 23 meters away from the goal, and Riquelme has a superb free kick skill, and Wang Xiaolei has also experienced Riquelme's free kick in La Liga, so he didn't dare to be careless, frowning and nervously lined up the five-man wall.

By the time the human wall was lined up, it was already the 89th minute of the game, which means that the time left for the Argentine Olympic team was less than 1 minute, so the Argentine fans were very nervous.

Similarly, the fans of the Chinese team are also very nervous. There is not much time in the game, and the score on the field is only one goal ahead.

This is a serious blow to the Olympic team, which has been leading for a long time, and it is very detrimental to future games.

In addition, this free kick position is very dangerous. Standing in front of football, Riquelme is a famous free kick master. He has also scored many wonderful free kicks in this position, so it is always inevitable to worry about it.

"Roman Riquelme once had a lot of wonderful free kicks in this position. I firmly believe that this is a good opportunity for our team to score!!" The Argentine national TV commentator said confidently.

Huang Jianxiang, on the other hand, seemed quite nervous: "Wang Xiaolei is still nervously setting up the human wall. The game has reached the 89th minute. There is not much time left for both sides of the game..."

The neutral commentator said: "This may be the last chance for the Argentine Olympic team in the second half. Riquelme has a record of scoring goals in this position, and this critical moment has also become a moment for him to prove his worth. Will the Argentine Olympic team equalize the score, or will the Chinese Olympic team continue to lead? We can only wait for the Argentine Olympic team to finish the attack..."

All the players on the field know that perhaps this opportunity is the last chance for the Argentine Olympic team!So no one dared to be negligent. Everyone came to the penalty area of ​​the Chinese Olympic team. Even Ai Luo returned to the penalty area to help defend. After all, the score is still leading. There is no need to stand in the frontcourt and wait for the so-called potential score expansion. As long as the score is maintained until the end, you can advance to the final.

Riquelme and Messi stand in front of the football on the left and the right, and it seems that both have the possibility of taking a free kick.

But everyone knows that this free kick must be taken by captain Riquelme, even if this position is more suitable for the left-footed Messi to take the penalty.

Because Riquelme is the core and the captain, there is no reason for the 21-year-old Messi to take such an important free kick at a critical moment.

When the Argentine Olympic team loses and is eliminated, then Riquelme will bear the title of timid and fearful.

In any case, Riquelme's chances of taking free kicks are more than 99%
However, no one thought that the remaining 1% fell below everyone's glasses.

Beep——
The Italian referee blew his whistle, and the Chinese Olympic team's five-man wall suddenly became tense.

Of course, at this moment, all fans who pay attention to the results of the Chinese Olympic team will also be very nervous.

But...the most nervous one is goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei.

Messi was the first to run up and stand on the right back of the football, but no one paid attention to him at this time. The Chinese Olympic team did not make a five-man wall or even a half-squat upward movement. They did not believe that Messi would be the kicker of this free kick.

"---careful!!"

At this moment, Ai Luo, who was standing at the far end of the penalty area, looked at Messi's run-up posture, and felt a 'thump' in his heart. According to his later generations' understanding of Messi, the scoring rate in this position is not low!
Messi's third step was extraordinarily large, with his right foot about 20 centimeters to the right of the football, and the inside of the instep of his left foot was thrown towards the football like a whip.

At this time, the Chinese Olympic team's human wall, who had just received Ai Luo's reminder, realized that the free kick was taken by Messi.

They didn't consciously prepare to jump until the football was halfway from the wall.

But clearly...the timing was wrong!
The football almost brushed against the hair of the wall and flew towards the goal, that is to say, if they took off without hesitation, they could completely push the ball out!
But... there is no regret medicine in the world.

After Wang Xiaolei saw the football from above the human wall, he quickly moved to the near corner, but he was helpless because Messi's free kick was very tricky, and it flew into the net between the crossbar and the post.

Even if Wang Xiaolei has three heads and six arms, he is powerless.

※※※

Messi has always given people the feeling of being silent and restrained, so he rarely celebrates excitedly after scoring a goal.

But this time is different, almost at the last chance of the whole game, he took advantage of a free kick to help the team equalize the score on the field!Very rare! !

Although he showed sufficient confidence before kicking the free kick, he himself knew that it was for bluffing, that is, for the right to take the free kick. Now that he really scored the free kick, he naturally had to celebrate.

After confirming that the football flew into the net, he grabbed his jersey tightly with both hands and pulled it up and down violently until he was hugged by Riquelme.

Aguero was very fast, jumped directly on Messi's back from the back, and said loudly: "Leo, you did it! You did it!!"

At the same time, the Argentine national television commentator shouted excitedly: "Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up up" that we're going to tie the score to 2:2!" Olympic team!!"

When Messi and others celebrated the end, the fourth official on the sidelines also raised the electronic card for 3 minutes of stoppage time.

In other words, there are still 3 minutes left in the fierce Olympic men's football semi-final!

If the two sides of the game do not want to enter overtime, they can only seize the opportunity in the last 3 minutes and kill the opponent!

However... this is a certain risk for the offensive side, because if one is not careful, it will definitely make the team fall into a situation where there is no redemption.

At this time, Dujkovic began to make the first substitution adjustments for the players on the field. Dongfang Zhuo replaced Gao Lin, whose physical strength had declined significantly, to maintain the team's offensive firepower.

There was nothing Aiello could do about this loss. All he could do was take advantage of the re-kick-off and try his best to help the team surpass the score again and win the game.

But how easy is it to win a game?

Just after the score was tied, the morale of the Argentine Olympic team was booming, and the morale of the players on the side was frustrated. The difference between a positive and a negative was even more obvious. It was difficult to achieve it only by relying on his personal efforts.

In addition, Dongfang Zhuo, who just got the chance to play, wants to show his best self at the first time. When he has the opportunity, he will choose to complete the last shot by himself. He has no teammates in his eyes...

Subsequently, the Argentine Olympic team also organized a wave of threatening attacks, but at the critical moment, Wang Xiaolei stood up, made a flying save, and saved the ball out of the baseline.

The rest of the stoppage time was played slowly by both sides cautiously. In order to avoid sudden death, no one dared to act rashly, even Aiello and Messi did not want to accept a draw.

It's just that they are helpless with the team's offensive rhythm, and it is difficult for them to do anything if they are separated from the team.

As soon as the 3-minute stoppage time came, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, which meant that there were three 10-minute overtime games waiting for them.

What players hate most in the tournament system is overtime, because under normal circumstances, it is not easy for professional players to persist for nine to 10 minutes. If they play for 120 minutes, the body will definitely not be able to bear it. In addition, it is not conducive to the rapid recovery of physical functions. Three days later, it will be the final of the Olympic Games, which will definitely have a profound impact on the final.

※※※

Fortunately, before the first and second halves of overtime were 15 minutes each, they also had nearly 10 minutes of rest time.

Players who have worked hard on the court for 10 minutes can take a good rest to replenish lost water and energy.

Dujkovic did not give tactical guidance to the players on the field at the first time, but let the players on the field first receive massages from the team doctor to relieve fatigue. As the top player of the team, Ai Luo received the most meticulous care.

It was not until 5 minutes later that Dujkovic began to explain the tactical thinking of the overtime game.

In fact, the first half of overtime is very simple, that is, to stabilize the half-court defense first, and then rely on Ai Luo's point to counterattack.

After all, I still want to make the most of Ai Luo's ability.

Aiello did not raise any objections to Dujkovic's tactics. After all, he was used to this in Valencia and Chelsea.

With great power comes great responsibility...

Batista's request for the Argentine Olympic team is very simple, that is... to win the game in one go!
In the history of Argentine football, there is no waiting for a penalty shootout!

Of course, a large part of the reason is that they lose more and win less in penalty shootouts, so penalty shootouts are very taboo.

Later, Batista also had new requirements for Messi, who was in a hot state in this game, "Use your own discs to create murderous intentions!"

When the game reaches overtime, it means that the physical fitness of the players has reached a critical point. As long as they break through a few more times, then...opportunities will be created.

Beep——
At this moment, the referee on duty blew his whistle.

In other words... overtime is about to begin!
　Ask for a ticket!There will be three more in the evening! !
