The ball bounced in the Chinese team's goal, and Ma Junqiang lay on the ground, looking at the football. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

All the Chinese players stood still as if they had been immobilized. Only Tang Ling, who was waiting outside the court, squatted down suddenly, covering his face with his hands.

Enriquez and his team-mates and coaches celebrated the goal wildly, and in the 117th minute of the game, no one thought that the Chinese Olympic team would be able to pull back in the remaining three minutes.

Only the cheers of the Mexican fans could be heard, and the Chinese fans were all silent, and some even secretly shed tears. Chen Hui and Shen Hao remembered the full-time reporters of other overseas players, and sat in the press box one by one, clenching their teeth and being silent.

An Rong's face was calm, in fact, he had this expression most of the time throughout the game. Even if the score is now 3:4 Mexico, he did not show the joy, anger and sorrow in his heart.

Liu Jianhong said in a hoarse voice: "Mexico's goal is ...... for the Chinese Olympic team Almost devastating. So far, everyone's physical fitness has been a little unable to keep up. ”

Zhang Shujie walked into the goal, kicked the ball out of the net, and pulled Ma Junqiang up, wanting to comfort a few words, but Ma Junqiang patted Zhang Shujie first and said, "There are still three minutes!"

Zhang Shujie nodded and said, "Yes, three minutes." ”

In fact, there are still three minutes left, and after the celebration that Mexico has just made, this delay is no more than two and a half minutes at most. Zhang Shujie was very clear about this in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Ma Junqiang clapped his palms and shouted to his teammates: "Hold on! In the last three minutes, we still have a chance!"

Zhang Shujie looked at him, smiled, turned around and ran to the middle circle, stretched out his hand to Zhao Wenkang and Xu Ziyi along the way, and the three of them high-fived each other.

There are no words, just a wordless encouragement.

Well, let the final few minutes decide the matter.

Tang Ling walked into the court, he blamed himself a little, if he hadn't had to leave the field for a while, maybe the Chinese team would not have lost this goal, at least there was a chance to drag it to the penalty shootout at that time.

Mexico began to "swing the bus" in the backfield, and the Chinese team attacked all the way, and even Liang Xiran rarely passed the half. After a moment of silence, the Chinese fans cheered for the players again, and everyone was expecting a miracle.

Wang Shihan looked at the TV very nervously, how she hoped that time could pass slowly at this moment, so that the Chinese team could get more opportunities. However, time is fair for everyone.

The Chinese Olympic team bombarded the Mexican penalty area indiscriminately, and the referee kept watching the time. When Zhang Shujie's shot with all his strength was saved by Corona, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the game mercilessly.

"Toot, toot, toot—"

For the Mexican players, the whistle was like a sound of heaven, but for the Chinese players, the whistle was so harsh.

"The game is over, and it's a pity that the Chinese Olympic team couldn't beat Mexico and our boys were finally excluded from the semi-finals. However, the athletes of the national Olympic team have performed very well at this Olympic Games, beating South American powerhouse Uruguay and Senegal from Africa by a big score, and they have done something that no one has done before. The quarterfinals of the Olympic Games are already the best record in the history of the national Olympic team, they have scored a total of 11 goals in four games, and they have been completed by five players.

Liu Jianhong's voice was full of emotion, and he also hoped that the Chinese team could reach the semi-finals, so that at least there was a chance to compete for a medal, but unfortunately, the national Olympic team lost.

Ma Junqiang walked up from the backfield, he didn't want to see the Mexicans in celebration, originally, in his expectation, it should be the happiness enjoyed by the Chinese team. He was in a very lost mood and in a bad mood, but he was the captain, and no matter how many grievances he had, he could only hold it in his heart.

He walked over to the youngest Liang Xiran, a nineteen-year-old defender with tears in his eyes and forced himself to keep himself from crying. Ma Junqiang reached out and stroked the back of his head without speaking.

Then he walked to Zhao Wenkang, who was lying on the ground, and wanted to pull him up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull him. It seems that Zhao Wenkang has now become weak and boneless, and he is soft.

Standing a few meters away was Zhang Shujie, he wiped his face, his eyes were a little red, he slowly walked to Ma Junqiang's side, shook his head at him, and said, "Forget it, handsome, just let him lie down." He was tired. ”

It's not just the body that's tired, it's also the mind.

Ma Junqiang hung his head, glanced at Zhao Wenkang, nodded, and walked away.

Zhang Shujie turned his head to look around, and found Tang Ling sitting curled up on the grass, his hands on his knees, his head buried deep between his knees, and his body trembled a few times from time to time. Zhang Shujie could probably guess what he was thinking, walked over, and squatted down beside him.

"Tang Ling, don't cry. ”

Tang Ling heard Zhang Shujie's words, didn't raise his head, just choked up and said: "It's all my fault, I'm too angry, if it weren't for my foot cramps, I wouldn't have been treated; ”

Zhang Shujie sniffed and said with a wry smile: "How can I blame you for this? In such a fierce competition, it is normal for the body to have dehydration and cramps, don't blame yourself." ”

Tang Ling didn't speak again after hearing this, Zhang Shujie grabbed his shoulder, he threw himself on Zhang Shujie's shoulder, and cried loudly.

This teenager still thinks that the defeat of the Chinese Olympic team was due to his absence from the field for treatment, which caused his teammates to only play 11 out of 10, which gave Mexico the opportunity to score the winning goal. He felt like it was his fault, but he really couldn't be blamed for that.

Zhang Shujie raised his head and looked at the big screen outside the court, the score of "3:4" was too dazzling. There were tears dripping from his reddened eyes, but his face was clearly full of unwillingness. In terms of strength, they may not lose to Mexico, but in the round, the opponent is the winner.

An Rong walked behind him and gently pressed his shoulder.

"An Zhi ......," Zhang Shujie shouted back.

An Rong smiled as if and said, "I know you are very unwilling, but there is no way, we lost the game." ”

"I'm sorry, Ann, I ......"

"Don't say you're sorry, you've done well enough. ”

Tang Ling stood up at this time and said to An Rong in a choked voice: "An Zhi, it's me who is not good, it's me who has dragged everyone down." ”

"No, Tang Ling, you didn't drag anyone down. You've exceeded my expectations, you've lived up to the team, you've got the fans. ”

Tang Ling lowered his head.

Li Mu has been standing in the center circle, and since the end of the game, he has stood in this place, without moving his feet, his eyes are looking ahead, and he rarely seems to blink his eyelids. I don't know if he was afraid that tears would fall in the blink of an eye.

Chen Zihua pursed his lips and stood not far from Li Mu's side, Xu Ziyi squatted between the two, and the expressions of the three were almost the same. Occasionally, players from Mexico came over to greet them, but they didn't respond.

Ma Junqiang helped Xu Ziyi up, walked to Chen Zihua's side again, and patted him on the shoulder. Chen Zihua gritted his teeth and responded in a hoarse voice: "Lost." ”

"Yes, lost. Ma Junqiang said softly.

Li Mu heard the conversation between the two, turned his head to look at the two, and then turned his head back.

He understands that if the game is lost, the national Olympic team will end there.

Ma Junqiang walked over to An Rong, as if he had something to say, An Rong said: "Don't say anything, you and Zhang Shujie are the captains and vice-captains of the team, what you have to do now is to take the players to thank the fans." ”

The two nodded, and it just so happened that the Mexican players were almost finished celebrating, and took the initiative to find the players of the national Olympic team and made a request to exchange jerseys.

Zhang Shujie and Miel, Li Mu and Reyes, Chen Zihua and Enriquez, Xu Ziyi and Fabian, Ma Junqiang and Dos Santos...... Almost every player on both sides exchanged jerseys with each other.

Subsequently, Ma Junqiang and Zhang Shujie led the players around the field and waved to thank the fans in the stands. The fans also stood in the stands and gave the warmest applause to these young Olympic soldiers.

Chen Hui and others also stood next to the press gallery and applauded the national Olympic team with fans. What if you fail? What if you don't qualify for the semi-finals? No one can deny the fighting spirit and achievements of this national Olympic team, 120 minutes of play, 3:4 scoreline, enough to prove that it was a great night. Tonight, they have the right to leave with their heads held high!

"Now we see that the Olympic team is thanking the fans who have supported them. We firmly believe that this national Olympic team will become the backbone of the national brand for a long time to come, and they will shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Chinese football. They are worth our wait!"

Wang Shihan in front of the TV wiped her eyes, although she, like the majority of fans, desperately hoped to see the Chinese team in the semifinals, but this wish finally turned into a bubble. When she saw Zhang Shujie full of tears and thanks from the fans, she thought it was more of a farewell.

After tonight, the group of players led by Zhang Shujie will never have a chance to appear on the stage of the Olympic Games again.

At the post-match press conference, Mexico coach Turner praised the Chinese players, saying: "The Chinese team is playing very well, many of their players are very famous, Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Ma Junqiang and other players have already proven their strength in Serie A and the Premier League before participating in the Olympic Games. I'm glad we got to the last four, but we played hard and we were lucky. In my opinion, of the four opponents we faced at the London Olympics, the Chinese team was the most respectable. ”

It's hard to say if Turner is making polite remarks, after all, Mexico is the winner, and he can say whatever he wants. An Rong was very direct in response to reporters' questions: "I regret that we couldn't win the game, but I accept this score. Mexico are strong and difficult to play against, but our players are doing well. I don't want to put Mexico's fourth goal down to their luck, all I can say is football, a game of wins and losses. Finally, I want to tell you that I am proud of my team, proud of my players, thank you. ”

After speaking, An Rong stood up and left the press conference without looking back.

The members of the National Olympic team had already taken a shower in the locker room, changed their clothes and waited for him to come over, and after An Rong entered, he saw that everyone was sitting silently in their positions, without speaking, and even his assistant Song Weifeng seemed very silent.

"What's wrong, are you still unhappy?" An Rong asked. The team members listened to his questioning and lowered their heads one by one.

An Rong glanced around, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Lift your head up for me! Like a man! Don't ****** like a girl!"

At this roar, the team members all looked up at him. An Rong said again: "I know that you feel uncomfortable, and I am also sad, but the reality is that we lost and were eliminated." You're still young, don't always think about losing this game, you still have a lot of games to play in the future, and if you want to win the title, you have to learn to accept defeat, which is what you have to experience in your career. ”

The players didn't speak, An Rong looked at everyone again, sighed, and said, "When you return to China, take a good vacation." Especially the guys in the team who play in Europe, completely relax and the new season will start in less than a month. Now I would like to announce to you that the Chinese Olympic team ...... Disband!"

An Rong said this, turned around to leave, only took a step, and then turned back and said, "I am proud of you, children, and I wish you good luck." ”

This time he was really leaving, Tang Ling suddenly asked, "An Zhi, will we meet again in the future?"

An Rong, who walked to the door, stopped, he didn't turn his head, just took a deep breath, and then he opened the door to the locker room.
