Chapter 485: Advance to the Finals
At 18 o'clock on the evening of the 19th, they will play the men's semifinals with Nigeria, and at 16:45 on the afternoon of the 20th, they will play the quarterfinals of the men's basketball team with Lithuania.
Bidding farewell to the men's basketball team, Lu Qiujian returned to the men's football training center, where Ye Chu was holding a laptop and using software written by himself to analyze the first few games of the Nigerian team.
The Nigerian team has maintained the tradition of the African eagles, they are physical, skilled and energetic, especially in the Olympic arena, the physical and technical superiority of the African team has always allowed them to achieve good results, Nigeria and Cameroon have won the Atlanta Olympics and the Sydney Olympics respectively, this time Nigeria reached the semi-finals, facing a weak team such as the Chinese men's football team, they are full of confidence to reach the final again.
However, African teams are not without their shortcomings, their tactical literacy is always a headache, and they lack patience, if they can't attack for a long time, they will look impatient, and the chance for the Chinese men's football team to win is here.
In the view of the high director, Lu Qiujian's decision to play in the back is extremely wise, for the Chinese men's football team, one more Messi and one more Makelele, Pirlo and Alonso's complex on the field can not be compared at all, one more Messi will not necessarily score, and such an all-round midfielder can double the difficulty of the opponent to score.
"In this game, we still play the 451 formation, defend with all our might, wait for opportunities to find opportunities, and wait until the second half when Nigeria loses patience and then adjust the strategy according to the situation on the field!" Lu Qiujian discussed with the coaching staff and finally set the tone of the game.
At 6 p.m., the Beijing Workers' Stadium turned into a sea of red, and fans from all over the country filled the stadium with a capacity of 64,000 people. The Chinese Olympic team will compete with Nigeria for a place in the final, and later on, Argentina and Brazil will compete for another spot at the Magic City Stadium.
Throughout the first half, the national Olympic team shrank in their own half, trying their best to resist Nigeria's attack, and Lu Qiujian not only blocked the opponent's breakthrough again and again in the middle. They also used loud shouts to maintain their defensive formation, thanks to the team's concerted efforts and the excellent play of the goalkeepers, 45 minutes later, the Nigerian team still failed to break through the National Olympic team's goal, which gave all the fans present a glimmer of hope for victory.
As the game entered the second half, the Nigerian team became more and more impatient, and even the central defenders overwhelmed the center circle, and Gao Gui saw an opportunity to send Lin Xiao, who had been holding back for most of the half, to try to use his excellent speed and dribbling skills to find opportunities.
Nigerian midfielder Ogbuke once again broke down the flank. was blocked by Zhao Yi's foot, and had to turn to the middle, but he didn't expect Lu Qiujian to see the opportunity a long time ago, and he couldn't step over to snatch the ball from under his feet, and then immediately passed it to Zheng Zhi, and shouted at the same time, "Pass it back!"
Zheng Zhi didn't have time to think, and instinctively kicked the ball to the middle according to Lu Qiujian's instructions. Lu Qiujian accelerated sharply to catch up with the opponent's midfield, and a Marseille maneuver dodged his tackle and began to run long distances.
Lu Qiujian was like a bolt of lightning and quickly killed near the middle circle. Nigeria's backline panicked, watching the most dangerous player in football break through with the ball, how could they not be vigilant, so two central defenders and a full-back near the center circle quickly surrounded them, and they planned to stop Lu Qiujian even if it was a foul.
Lu Qiujian broke through with the ball and attracted three Nigerian defenders to chase and intercept. Nigeria's defense was disrupted by him alone! We saw Lin Xiao advancing along the side of the road!" Huang Daxian stood up excitedly in the live broadcast seat, "Beautiful pass! This reminds me of the wonderful pass that Maradona gave to Caniggia in the 90 World Cup Argentina vs. Brazil! Lin Xiao caught the ball, and only the Nigerian goalkeeper was left in front of him, let's see if he can grasp this opportunity!"
Lin Xiao deceived the Nigerian goalkeeper with a feint! He is now facing an empty goal! Left-footed push! The ball is scored! Long live the Chinese men's football team! Long live Lu Qiujian! Long live Lin Xiao! The national Olympic team has taken a one-goal lead. As long as we hold on for another 20 minutes, the Chinese Olympic team will become the first Asian men's football team in history to reach the Olympic finals!" Wong Tai Sin shouted incoherently, his voice drowned out by the shouts of more than 60,000 people.
The Nigerian team failed to reverse the game after all, they restarted the ball and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Chinese men's football team, but unfortunately at this time their passion has been extinguished by Lin Xiao's goal, not only failed to score, but also Lu Qiujian seized the loophole in front of the goalkeeper's position, and a midfield lob sealed the victory.
After the game, the fans surrounded the team bus, and finally Lu Qiujian stood up and said that he would participate in the men's basketball game tomorrow, and the players were already very tired and wanted to go back to rest early, so they were reluctant to disperse.
The next day, almost all the newspaper headlines were changed to the news that the Chinese men's football team had reached the final, and all the gold medalists decided today became the foil for these players.
However, Gao Gui was not carried away by the joy, he closed the base and refused to accept the interview of reporters and the fans to watch the game, since they have all entered the finals, then can we think further? Football is round, the Argentine team has Messi, we also have Lu Qiujian, although even the fans of Huaguo are not optimistic about them, but Gao Gui still wants to find the slightest chance of winning.
The next day, Lu Qiujian led the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat the Lithuanian team with difficulty in Yao Ming's absence, and reached the semifinals of the Olympic Games, also making a historic breakthrough.
Then, the day before the Olympic men's final, they faced the challenge of Spain, their opponents in the group stage, and this time the Spanish team was in a better state than it was in the group stage.
"Xiao Lu, I'm fully recovered now, let me play in the next game!" Yao Ming, who was in full swing on the training ground, looked at Lu Qiujian and said.
With these players alone, it may be difficult to beat Spain again, so should he play? )
PS: There has been no anti-theft in the past few days, and the results have dropped again, so I am kind to plug it!
