Chapter 342: Advance to the Knockout Round
In the second half of the game, the Chinese Olympic team still took the initiative, An Rong did not make any changes to the personnel, he was very satisfied with the performance of each player, and he couldn't find a reason to replace anyone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you really want to change, it is also due to tactical considerations or physical factors.
Diouf asked his players to step up their attack in the second half, as he had told his disciples in the dressing room a few minutes earlier: "Even if you lose, you have to lose with dignity." ”
Senegal tasted the consequences of attacking aggressively and not paying attention to defense after two unsuccessful long-range shots. The consequence was that they conceded the ball again.
Zhao Wenkang made a leap to the top in the 58th minute to extend the score to 3:0 for the National Olympic team, and his attack was also related to Zhang Shujie. The No. 9's powerful shot was saved by Main, and Zhao Wenkang headed the ball into the Senegalese goal.
For this reason, Zhao Wenkang also became the fourth Chinese player to score a goal in this Olympic Games, and he is also the fifth person to score for the Chinese team in the entire history of the Olympic Games.
Diouf looked at the Chinese players who were celebrating, a little helpless. Although he realized that the impression of the Chinese team today was no longer as useless as before, what he didn't expect was that the Chinese team was even stronger than he imagined. In less than an hour, they had a three-goal lead.
The three-goal Chinese Olympic team played very easily, and if this trend continues, it should not be a problem for China to win, and An Rong is considering whether to replace Zhang Shujie and rest for a while. Although the top scorer did not score, his impact was clear.
An Rong brought four forwards in this Olympic Games, except for Zhang and Li, who have unshakable main forces, the other two can only play as substitutes, and they are not even qualified to compete for the main force. Among them, Liu Jianwei was injured and did not come, and as for the young player Wu Xiao, he never played.
The striker, who had just turned 20, sat on the bench for 90 minutes each time, but he didn't complain. He is the last person to be confirmed by An Rong, many times, the media and fans ignore his existence, among the several offensive players in the front court of the Chinese team, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu are the most discussed people, "Twins" are also talked about because of their wonderful performance against South Korea in the qualifiers, Zhao Wenkang's distinctive technical characteristics are also well remembered by the Chinese people, and Xiao Feng and Liu Jianwei, who are not in a stable position, have more topics than him.
Only Wu Xiao, everything is so obscure.
In the 67th minute, the score of England and Uruguay was played at the bottom of the big screen: England 2:0 Uruguay.
The Chinese fans who saw this battle report cheered at the scene.
Come on, British, extend the score advantage a little!
An Rong seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and he finally made up his mind to let Zhang Shujie rest. Turning his head to Song Weifeng, he said, "Tell Wu Xiao to warm up." ”
Song Weifeng nodded and walked in front of Wu Xiao: "Director An told you to warm up." ”
Wu Xiao was stunned, then quickly took off his coat and ran to the warm-up area.
"Now we see Wu Xiao, the fourth striker of the Chinese Olympic team, warming up. This team member can be regarded as a newcomer to the 'An Jiajun', who has never played before, and everyone may be relatively unfamiliar with him. An Rong's three-goal lead did not immediately play defense, but wanted to change a striker, probably to let Wu Xiao feel the atmosphere of the game. It's just that I don't know who An Rong will replace? Zhang Shujie or Li Mu?"
Senegal, which has gone the momentum, is still thinking about attacking, probably trying to score a goal to save some face. However, the back line led by Yan Tao was unbreakable, and the most threatening shot was also bravely defused by Ma Junqiang.
In the seventy-third minute, the Chinese team made a substitution, and Wu Xiao replaced Zhang Shujie.
When Zhang Shujie came off the field, he didn't feel any surprise. When he saw Wu Xiao warming up, he guessed that he might be replaced, because An Rong had to prepare for the next game.
All the Chinese fans in the stadium stood up and greeted the striker. Although he did not score, the Chinese Olympic team was able to lead Senegal by three goals, thanks to his credit.
Zhang Shujie also raised his hands and clapped his palms lightly, responding to the enthusiastic fans.
After Wu Xiao came on the court, he replaced Zhang Shujie to play center. He was a little nervous in his first official appearance, missing a ball and slipping once. Li Mu stepped forward to comfort him and told him that there was no need to be nervous, the overall situation of the Chinese team had been decided.
At this moment, the big screen outside the stadium once again played the score of another match, England 2:1 Uruguay. South American powerhouse Suarez pulled a goal back.
By this time, the game had reached the seventy-ninth minute.
Uruguay, for their part, are also following the Chinese team's game. If China maintains a score of 3:0 until the end of the game, and Uruguay cannot win in the last ten minutes, then Uruguay will eventually return to their hometown, and if Uruguay can beat England, then it will be China who will be eliminated.
However, if China can score another goal and Uruguay win, the game will be full of uncertainties. But from the current point of view, the Chinese Olympic team has a better chance of qualifying. Uruguay want to score two goals in a row against England and make sure they don't concede again, which is not an easy thing to do.
************************
Chen Zihua took Li Mu's return ball and fired a long-range shot from 22 yards out, kicking a little wide. Chen Zihua is very eager to score a goal, and he is the only one of the five main attacking players of the Chinese Olympic team who has not yet scored.
Just two minutes later, he fired another volley from the edge of the box, which was powerful but was saved by Main. Li Mu made up the shot and went high above the crossbar.
Time is running out and the score between England and Uruguay is still 2:1. With less than five minutes to go into stoppage time, Uruguay can prepare their tickets home.
China and Senegal have also slowed down their offensives. Despite Senegal's slogan of "Fight for Glory", when it comes to this, they only hope that the competition will end sooner and go home sooner.
In the 87th minute, Zhao Wenkang was tripped and the Chinese Olympic team got a free kick in front. Senegal's human walls are arranged more haphazardly, with only three people. Zhao Wenkang passed to the penalty area with a big foot, Chen Zihua hit the goal with a header, but was blocked by Abdullah with his body, Chen Zihua quickly grabbed the second point, raised his eyes and aimed, there was no space to shoot.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his teammates not far away, and he took advantage of the situation to give it to him. The person who received the ball was none other than Li Mu, who stopped the ball with his left foot in the penalty area and pushed it into the far corner, which was beyond the reach of Main's whip.
4:0! The Chinese Olympic team completely locked up the victory! Li Mu, who scored twice, celebrated wildly. An Rong looked at the score and laughed. He wondered how Uruguayans would feel when they saw the results.
The two teams began to make frequent substitutions, and Yang Wei and Bai Shoushan replaced Huang Yu and Zhao Wenkang one after another. On the Senegalese side, Mane and Abdullah also went off one after another. At this time, neither team attacked again, and most of them were on the wrong foot, and the remaining minutes were just wasted.
The match between Great Britain and Uruguay ended first, and Suarez equalized for Uruguay in stoppage time, but it was to no avail, and the 2-2 score also meant that Uruguay would leave the Olympics early.
The Chinese fans began to celebrate, jumping and jumping in the stands, and even Liu Jianhong's commentary seemed lighthearted. One minute later, the game ended, and the Chinese Olympic team 4:0 Senegal national Olympic team!
At the moment when the referee's whistle fell, An Rong, Song Weifeng, Zhang Shujie, Zhao Wenkang and Yan Tao poured into the stadium with a large number of substitute players, and the players hugged each other to celebrate this historic moment. For yourself, for the team, and for the country.
How many of these players would have thought that they would be where they are today? If it weren't for An Rong, most of the players would have been buried in the terrible environment of Chinese football.
For the first time, the Chinese Olympic team has advanced to the knockout stage of the Olympic Games, which can definitely be recorded in the history books of Chinese sports.
Liu Jianhong said happily: "The Chinese Olympic team finally broke into the quarterfinals, and after all, it lived up to the expectations of the fans! In the last battle of life and death, the national Olympic team defeated Senegal 4:0, and there was no suspense in winning! We can say with certainty that this group of young players is the future of Chinese football!"
Chen Hui and a group of other full-time reporters stood next to the press booth and looked at the players in the field with a smile. Three years ago, they couldn't believe that Chinese football could make today's progress, and three years later, the national Olympic team has already broken into the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games. This time, really short, unbelievably short.
I wonder if one day in the future, these lads will be able to perform like this in the World Cup?
Senegal lost the game, and the players were not necessarily frustrated, as they were already assured of missing out on the quarter-finals before the game started. They walked up to the Chinese players, took off their team uniforms, and wanted to exchange jerseys with the Chinese players.
This requirement is not harsh, and it is not difficult for the Chinese team, as the winner, to satisfy the inner thoughts of the opponent.
One by one, the players took off their jerseys and exchanged them with the Senegalese players. An Rong walked in front of Diouf and stretched out his hand, Diouf also stretched out his hand generously, and two young coaches from different countries and different skin colors shook hands gently.
Zhang Shujie took Soare's jersey and presented his jersey. Soare said: "Zhang, you are very good, even if you don't score, you are still very good. ”
Zhang Shujie smiled and said, "Thank you, you are also very good." ”
The two shook hands.
Gueye took Li Mu's jersey, looked at him, and pouted: "I heard the coach say that your skills are very good, but unfortunately I didn't see this game, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky." ”
"I guess it's lucky, otherwise I wouldn't be able to guarantee that I would have been able to shake you. Li Mu said jokingly.
Chen Zihua put Konat's jersey on his shoulder, waved to the jersey in the stands, and was about to walk to the locker room. Xu Ziyi walked over, patted him, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, it looks like you're a little depressed?"
"Where's that? You're looking away, aren't you?"
"Don't lie to me, it's not the first day I've known you. Could it be that you didn't score, and you feel a little sorry for it?"
Chen Zihua smiled dumbly, did not nod or shake his head.
Xu Ziyi continued: "Are you thinking, we all scored, but you didn't score, and your heart is a little empty?"
"Not yet, it's just that the group stage is over, and I haven't scored a goal, so I feel a little ......"
"Isn't there another assist? Li Mu's last goal was passed by you. ”
"Wouldn't it be better to score goals?"
"Okay, don't think about it, the next game, it's not that there is no chance. ”
Ahn Rong is being interviewed. There are also reporters interviewing players, Zhang Shujie saw that An Rong had been "surrounded", so he didn't want to be "harassed" like this, so he ran away after changing his jersey and didn't stay long, the reporter didn't stop him, Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi also returned to the locker room. Ma Junqiang, as the captain, should come forward to deal with it. Li Mu, who scored two goals, was also surrounded by reporters and answered reporters' questions in a very "official" language.
Chen Hui looked at his peers below and chuckled a few times with disdain. It's good to be a full-time reporter, and you don't need to block the players like flies. They want to know what to say, and it's just a phone call away.
Yuan Qing patted him on the shoulder, pushed Shen Hao and Wang Junsong who were in a daze, and said, "Okay, let's go, let's get ready and go to the post-game press conference!"
