"Although the score is the same now, the Chinese team has very little energy left. If it is not what I expected, Nigeria will quickly take advantage of this advantage in the second half and expand the score."
In the hotel, Messi and Aguero were sitting on lounge chairs, watching the replay of the first half of the game.
They had just returned to the hotel after playing the semifinals, and they couldn't wait to turn on the TV to watch the results of the other side.
The score of 1-1 was beyond the expectations of many Argentine players.
You must know that the Chinese team has never broken out of the Olympic group stage before, and Nigeria has won the Olympic gold medal.
"Akun is right. Look, this Chinese player has run out of energy. He just shoveled out with all his strength."
Riquelme pointed at Zhao Xuri in the replay, "If the Nigerian players are more bold, the Chinese players might be banned!"
These Argentinian players are very accurate.
The Nigerian players were indeed frightened by the Chinese players at the end of the first half.
But when they recovered after the halftime break, if the Olympic players continued to defend like this, they would only get more red and yellow cards.
The speeches of Riquelme and Argentina drew nods of praise from all the Argentine players.
In the previous victory over Brazil, soccer champion Maradona also came to the scene to cheer for Argentina.
After seeing the team successfully advance to the finals, Lao Ma immediately stated that he would go to Beijing to welcome the gold medal with a group of Argentine players.
Maradona was absolutely epic for Argentina.
With the old horse coming to cheer, the entire Argentina will be given an extra layer of combat BUFF, making it difficult to lose.
But just as everyone nodded, Messi, who was chewing beef jerky, shook his head.
"You underestimate DONG too much. He hasn't scored a goal yet."
Messi's sudden words stunned the other Argentine players. Then Aguero patted his friend on the shoulder and smiled: "Leo, what are you talking about? Are you sure he will score? Don't forget the previous group stage... ."
"DONG didn't score a goal in the previous group stage, but they also had assists."
Before Messi could open his mouth, Mascherano behind him suddenly interrupted.
"And for this game, DONG doesn't have any data yet."
Among the entire Argentinian team, when it comes to the person who knows Wang Xiaodong best, Ma Xiaodong has the most say.
Liverpool and Tottenham play against each other at least twice every season. Only Mascherano has experienced Wang Xiaodong's terror in a head-on confrontation.
As a Barcelona player who was eliminated from the Champions League, Messi also showed a natural expression when he recalled his contact with Wang Xiaodong at several award ceremonies.
He always felt that Wang Xiaodong would never leave a few simple "shots on target" data in an Olympic semifinal.
This is so unlike him!
"No matter what, Nigeria has the better cards."
Big brother Riquelme still insists on his opinion.
"But as you said, the Chinese team also has a chance."
"And from my point of view, I also want to play against the Chinese team. After all, this is a new and overall weaker opponent."
"To be honest, I'm also afraid of getting hurt playing against those big guys in Nigeria."
Riquelme's humor caused laughter in the conference room.
But whether it was Messi or Mascherano, the smiles on their faces were very forced.
Nigeria is difficult to deal with, but is it easy to beat the Chinese team that is aggressive?
...
After the start of the second half, what surprised everyone was that no one on the Chinese team was replaced!
Even Zheng Zhi just wrapped a new gauze around him and reappeared at the Workers' Sports Stadium.
Seeing Zheng Zhi playing with an injury, the fans gave another round of applause.
All the previous unhappiness disappeared after Zheng Zhi's goal.
That's how it is on the football field.
As long as you can score goals.
All your shortcomings will be covered up by goals.
This is of course one of the charms of football!
After reappearing, Zheng Zhi's position moved slightly backward, with Wang Xiaodong in front of him.
It seems that he wants to take advantage of Wang Xiaodong's tough style of play to deliver cannonballs to the teammates in front.
In the 49th minute, Wang Xiaodong found an opportunity and pushed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo's feet in the penalty area with the whole team pressing forward. The latter staggered two steps forward with the ball and then volleyed.
Nigeria goalkeeper Van Zekin crossed over and blocked the ball, giving the National Olympics a chance for a corner kick.
This time in the scramble, the Nigerian defense did not give the opponent any chance and cleared the ball directly out of the penalty area.
In fact, since Mikel was injured and came off the field in the first half, Nigeria's counterattack ability has been greatly reduced.
Although there is room for counterattack at this moment, for the sake of stability, the offensive rhythm is still slowed down.
In the 53rd minute, the Nigerian team almost expanded the score.
Keita launched a counterattack on the right and then passed the ball diagonally to the goal.
Feng Xiaoting was a beat behind, and the ball was caught by Ogbuike behind him.
The latter pushed the ball towards the ball. Fortunately, Liu Zhenli's position was precise and he saved the ball in time.
Li Weifeng was also a little annoyed after running back to clear the ball.
"Be nervous, be nervous!"
"Those in front are working so hard, those behind us can't show cowardice!"
"understand?"
Feng Xiaoting blushed and said nothing.
Ogbuike was very upset after missing this opportunity. He stood there with his head in his hands. He still can't believe what just happened.
Taking advantage of the casual attitude of Nigerians, the National Olympics took advantage of this to launch a counterattack.
The ball did not stop at Zheng Zhi's feet and immediately passed the ball to Wang Xiaodong who was further ahead.
After Wang Xiaodong got the ball, he got stuck and rushed forward, but was eventually brought down by the opponent's defender.
The referee blew his whistle and while showing the yellow card, awarded the Guoao a free kick in the frontcourt.
"Oh? This is a free kick made by Wang Xiaodong himself!"
"This is already within Wang Xiaodong's shooting range."
"It seems he is going to take the penalty himself!"
Amidst He Wei's excited voice, Wang Xiaodong slowly took a dozen steps back as all the fans expected.
Seeing this running distance, the fans in the stands became nervous.
Beep!
The whistle sounded.
After three or four seconds of run-up, Wang Xiaodong finally rushed to the ball.
Bang! ! !
The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves!
The dust and sand generated by the collision between sneakers and ball made fans subconsciously squint their eyes.
The ball swished and flew straight past the edge of the wall without a trace of spin.
Fan Zejin, who was guarding the near post, stretched out his hands, palms outward, and struggled to meet the ball.
After a muffled bang, there was another crisp "dang" sound in front of the goal.
The ball caught by Fan Zejin hit the inside of the post and bounced straight into the side net.
"The ball went in!!!"
At this moment, He Wei's voice was sonorous, powerful and firm!
No excitement, no passion.
Some instructions are the most solid certainty of results.
The commentator described the facts in the most determined tone, and the fans in the stands, in front of the TV and in the live broadcast room became agitated at this moment.
The lights of countless residential buildings turned on one after another. After the call came from the first room, the whole building shook.
Looking at Wang Xiaodong preparing to run on the screen, and listening to the excited roar coming from the window, Ma Fanshu hugged Winnie the Pooh tightly in his arms and stared at the screen.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the ball flew straight into the net.
At this moment, she could finally shout loudly together with the fans outside the window whose signal was not delayed.
...
"Tsk, tsk, Leo, you're right!"
Riquelme watched the replay of the game and was amazed.
"This guy is a weirdo!"
"His free kicks are faster than Carlos's!"
Riquelme is also a master of free kicks, but he can kick out dazzling arcs with his inside and outside insteps, but he cannot use his instep to pull out such a powerful shot.
"In the face of all absolute power, all skills are just bells and whistles!" Mascherano muttered.
The Argentinian players next to him all showed thoughtful expressions when they heard this.
Think about it, isn't the God of War Barty's gate unstoppable?
...
The Nigerian players on the court looked at each other. They looked at each other and made gestures in patois.
However, after talking about it, I couldn't find anyone to vent to.
no way.
They couldn't blame the teammate who committed the foul, because Wang Xiaodong had obviously just played according to the foul; they couldn't blame the teammate standing on the edge of the wall, after all, he was here to play football, not to commit suicide; they There is no way to blame his teammates on the goal line. After all, Fan Zejin just stretched out his hand desperately and saved the ball as quickly as possible.
However, the final result was that even though the goalkeeper touched the ball, he still failed to prevent it from entering the net.
From this moment on, there is another helpless goalkeeper in the world.
They may have expected that Wang Xiaodong would score a goal, or they may have expected that Wang Xiaodong would score a long-range heavy shot.
But when the goal came, they were not as calm and calm as before.
This is the Olympic semifinals.
Their score has been overtaken!
Fortunately, these Nigerian gangsters are full of energy. After the coach replaced two new players, he once again turned on full power and launched an all-round attack on the Olympic position.
Duy is also very smart.
It can be seen that the opponent is starting to attack fiercely.
He interfered with the opponent's offensive rhythm through substitutions, and told the players to use more lying tactics if that didn't work.
Sure enough, under Duy's "undermining" tricks, the National Olympics played two substitution cards in 13 minutes and successfully blocked Nigeria's counterattack.
When the game reached the 70th minute, Nigeria's offense slowed down.
They need to accumulate energy and use the last 10 minutes as a general attack.
"Without Mikel, Nigeria's final shot was a little too accurate."
"It can be seen that after the score was overtaken, Nigeria was generally a little anxious."
Committee He sighed in the commentary box, and Li Weifeng and Zhao Xuri on the bench also stood nervously on the sidelines, cheering for their teammates.
As the replaced team members, the two of them were really unwilling.
But there was no way, their physical strength had reached the edge of collapse, and Zhao Xuri even suffered from cramps when he was lying on the grass.
Dui originally wanted to replace a forward player, but seeing the situation, he still held on to the last substitution spot, leaving it to the players who really couldn't hold on.
Under Du Yi's order, Chen Tao had retreated to the midfield and frontcourt, almost at the same position as Wang Xiaodong.
At this moment, there was another muffled sound in front of the Olympic Games gate.
DUANG! ! !
The ball hit the crossbar and soared into the sky. The fans in the stands let out a sigh of relief, and their hearts almost jumped out of their throats just now.
"The National Olympics escaped another disaster!"
"Fortunately, luck is on the Olympic side."
"If the goal just scored, the opponent's morale would be greatly increased."
"We will be in danger then."
"Now the time has come to test the endurance of the Olympic team."
"We can't all rely on Wang Xiaodong to defend alone."
"There are still 15 minutes left in the game."
"Keep these 15 minutes and we can enter the finals!"
As the game draws to a close, many netizens cheer for the National Olympics through the Internet and phone messages.
Li Xin read one by one, and the four people in the studio also joined the fans in their hearts, hoping that there would be no slip-ups at the last moment of the Olympics.
At this moment, Huang Jianxiang's right eye suddenly jumped, and in an instant, he recalled the May 19 incident.
"Fuck, what am I thinking about right now?"
Memories flashed through his mind, and Huang Jianxiang wished he could give himself a slap in the face.
How could such an unlucky thing come to mind at this time?
Seeing that even if Nigeria starts to "recharge its batteries", it can indirectly attack the Olympic Games, the ominous premonition in Huang Jianxiang's heart becomes more and more serious.
As the game progressed, both sides made all substitutions in the 82nd minute.
At this time, Dong Fangzhuo had been replaced, and his replacement was Zhou Haibin.
Zhou Haibin, who has only played a few games in this Olympics, only received one task when he came on the court, that is, no matter what, he must not let his opponent pass easily in front of him.
Zhou Haibin also remembered clearly that Du Yi used the words "no matter what"!
Seeing that the National Olympics' 442 formation has changed to 5410, the Nigerian players are also anxious.
Their two full-backs pressed forward with all their strength, trying to put all their strength into the attack.
At one time, except for the Nigerian goalkeeper, 22 people, including the referee, were crowded into the half-time of the Olympic Games.
Looking at the dense crowd, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
In the 88th minute, Nigeria once again threatened the Olympic team with a powerful shot.
Seeing Liu Zhenli fall to the ground to save, the ball was spinning on the Olympic goal line, and the few Nigerian fans in the stands went crazy.
Odemwenji quickly rushed towards the ball, but before his swung leg could fall, Zhou Haibin's figure rushed out and kicked the ball out of bounds with a flying shovel.
The next second, Zhou Haibin's calf hit the pillar hard.
Seeing the Chinese players grimacing in pain, Odemwenji was helpless.
"Hiss~~~"
"Zhou Haibin is risking his life now!"
"I almost had a heart attack just looking at it."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if my legs are broken right now!"
At this moment, all the fans in the stands stood up and sang the national anthem loudly.
The sonorous and passionate national anthem sounded at this moment, becoming the best catalyst to inspire the players to burn out their final strength.
In the 91st minute, Zhou Haibin used his body to block the opponent's long shot in front of the goal line again.
Seeing this result, Duy excitedly waved his fists on the sidelines and praised his substitution.
Seeing the ball blocked by Zhou Haibin from the bottom line, the Nigerian players' faces were full of anxiety.
But the next second, under the urging of the head coach, these gangsters rushed to the corner area and straightened the ball thrown by the staff.
boom!
After seeing goalkeeper Van Zekin also stand firm in the Olympic penalty area, the Nigerian players immediately took the corner kick without any run-up.
The ball drew an arc in the air and landed accurately near the penalty spot in the penalty area.
This is the place with the most team members and the most crowded area.
In the chaos, I don’t know who hit the ball first. The ball that had just fallen immediately changed its line and flew towards the Olympic goal.
Just as he was about to fly into the Olympic goal line, a white object suddenly appeared in front of the ball's path.
"Zheng Zhi?!"
After He Wei called out this name, even he looked in disbelief.
However, it was this over-age Olympic player with gauze on his head who once again blocked Nigeria's shot with his head at the last moment.
Seeing the ball hit Zheng Zhi's forehead hard, many Nigerian players showed a look of despair on their faces.
The next second, the ball bounced out of the penalty area.
Before the Nigerian defender could react, a figure suddenly rushed to his side.
Bang!
Apan felt as if his body was hit by a high-speed train and kept retreating.
When he raised his eyes to see clearly, the red figure that knocked him away had already sped away.
"嘘嘚嘚嘚...Dong! It's Wang Xiaodong!!!"
Seeing Yi Qi Juechen's red figure, He Wei's tongue tied with excitement.
The stoppage time has reached the 93rd minute and 27 seconds, which is half a minute beyond the stoppage time.
But the referee still had no intention of blowing the whistle.
But Wang Xiaodong couldn't wait any longer.
Having just rushed out of "Shengtian" with the ball, he couldn't wait to swing his legs and hit the ball directly behind.
Whoosh~~~~~!
The ball soared into the sky like a cruise missile, flew over half of the stadium, and crashed into Nigeria's goal with perfect accuracy.
"Beep!!!"
The whistle blows and the goal stands.
The referee signaled the players from both sides to quickly restart the ball, but everyone knew that the game was over.
