Chapter 574: Olympic Legend 61

With the final of the Olympic football competition approaching, the final matchup between the two teams that entered/\ entered the final final, Argentina and Huaguo, the final matchup between these two teams, before the Olympic Games, no one had ever imagined. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Even Chen Feng, who led the Huaguo football team to create this miracle, did not have much confidence at the beginning until now.

Compared with the Argentine team, which has a glorious past, the Chinese men's football team is undoubtedly lackluster. The blue and white team won the championship in 2004, and the best result of the Chinese team before the first time they broke out of Asia and successfully qualified for the World Cup. Excluding the factor of Chen Feng, a super striker, the overall strength of the Chinese team cannot be compared with Argentina.

And about this Olympic gold medal battle, it is undoubtedly the news hot in the past few days, even last night's men's basketball semifinals, it cannot be compared. And because the Chinese men's basketball team and the Argentine men's basketball team staged a big battle before the men's football finals of the two countries, it was full of drama all of a sudden. Many media joked that last night's men's basketball semifinals between the two countries were a warm-up for today's men's football final.

Before that, it was really rare for the men's basketball team and football of the two countries to play together. Not to mention, one of these two matches is a semi-final and the other is a final.

Before the game, there was also an endless stream of information about the finals between the two countries. China is even more lively, and many old-timers, old workers, and old leaders/directors in the football industry have also appeared in major media. They expressed their views on the upcoming finals between the two countries, and put forward their own opinions and suggestions on the development of domestic football in recent years.

It seems that all of a sudden, Huaguo's football has completely taken off and stood among the world's powers. The domestic football industry is also very good.

Compared with the excitement on the Chinese side, the Argentine side is relatively more inclined to the team and the players themselves rather than others. Of course, the major media must not ignore Maradona, the football king who came all the way to watch the game.

Previously, he said in an interview with media reporters that he was very optimistic about the Huaguo team led by Chen Feng, and predicted that the Huaguo team and the Argentine team would eventually meet in the final.

And now the results have undoubtedly proved Maradona's prediction correct.

"The Huaguo team, which has a super striker Long, is really strong. I had already predicted that they would make it to the final. Now the facts have proved this, but the strong Chinese team is only the long one, and our Argentine team is strong is the whole team. Not only did the king have confidence in the Argentine team, but he also teased his "rival", Pele, who always made a mistake in predicting the game: "There is no doubt that we will win the final, and a 2-0 score is a good result. However, I hope that I am not a crow's mouth, and that the boys of the men's football team can win the gold medal as they wish. ”

When asked by a reporter how he would feel if the Chinese team finally won the gold medal, Maradona also said frankly: "Of course it will be sad." We came here to participate in the Olympics to win the championship and take away the gold medal. Although this hypothesis of yours is unlikely, it is true that he has always been a man who works miracles. If they do win us, I'll personally congratulate him. He's a nice kid and I like him. ”

Maradona also gave Argentina coach Battista great praise. For the former national team teammate, Lao Ma is full of admiration: "He is a very good coach and I know he has put in a lot of effort. I think that if Argentina can finally win the championship, it will be the fairest reward and reward for him. ”

The old horse was in good spirits and praised everyone. Sergio Aguero scored twice in a strong conversation with Brazil, saving face for his father-in-law, and the old horse hopes that his son-in-law can always maintain such a good form. As for Messi, the recognized successor of the old horse, Maradona gave a higher evaluation: "Messi never looks up at the position of his teammates when he passes forward, he is a genius. No matter who is in front, passing the ball directly without looking at people was one of my hobbies. Can Messi be compared to Maradona?

Despite his confidence, his old team-mate Batista was cautious: "I was very impressed by the Chinese team's excellent performance at this Olympic Games, this is a very strong opponent, and we will definitely not take it lightly. Even so, when asked about Argentina's defeat at the Atlanta Olympics 12 years ago, Batista gave a firm answer: "The defeat in that game left a very strong lesson for Argentine football, but I believe that this scene will not be repeated at the Beijing Olympics." ”

Regarding Argentina's opponents in the final, Aguero said: "I've been watching them, they've played really well, of course the reason why they've been until now is mainly due to Long, he's very strong, it's hard to defend against him, and the final will be a very tough game." ”

For Argentina, the joy of a 3-0 semi-final win over arch-rivals Brazil has not yet faded. Aguero, who scored two goals, swept away the frustration of failing to score in several games, and Messi also showed the style of a new generation of football kings. For these two men, the final against Huaguo was of extraordinary significance. In the final of the 2005 World Youth Championship, it was the wonderful performance of Sergio Aguero and Messi that allowed the Argentine youth team to defeat the Nigerian youth team. The two have scored two goals each and are tied for second place in the team's scorer charts.

Overall, Argentina's attacking prowess is undeniable, with 10 goals scored in five games in total, second only to the 14 goals scored by the rebellious Chinese team and the 11 goals scored by the Brazilian team. Despite a poor performance in the group stage, the Argentines seemed to be at their best as the knockout rounds progressed with a 2-1 thrashing of the Netherlands and then a 3-0 humiliation of Brazil. Winning a gold medal for the people of the country is the common wish of all of them.

In the final, Argentina will still have Messi and Riquelme as the core of the attack. Sergio Aguero is in great form and there is no doubt that he will occupy the position of the main striker. Di Maria will be the second in attack, while Mascherano and Gago will protect the space behind Riquelme. At the back, the combination of Garay, Pareja, Zabaretta and Monzon will not waver. Substitute goalkeeper Sergio Romero was called on in the semi-finals, but his performance was spectacular.

The opinion of the Argentine media is: "Just adjust the personnel of the backline, this is an Argentine national team. Captain Riquelme said that such a team lineup "would be the envy of anyone". Moreover, after beating Brazil 3-0 in the semi-finals, Argentina's form and morale have reached their peak, and they will be hoping to make up for the regret they made 12 years ago: in that Olympic final, Argentina with Crespo, Veron and Ortega lost to Nigeria and finished second.

And this time they played against the Huaguo team with a super killer like Chen Feng, of course, they were not willing to give up the championship. As the football champion of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Argentina's desire to defend the title is well known.

Argentina missed Sydney 2000 after Atlanta, but since then Argentina have maintained their winning streak in all competitions, winning 11 games in a row, including their first men's Olympic title against Paraguay, also from South America, at the last Olympic Games.

Now, Argentina will be hoping to take their glory one step further and defend their title after winning the title once. The likes of Lionel Messi and Riquelme will be aiming to win their first Olympic gold medal, while Mascherano is undoubtedly more eager to become the first athlete in the Argentine team to win two Olympic gold medals.

Due to the Barcelona team, Messi almost missed the opportunity to participate in the Beijing Olympics before the start of the game. Now Messi and the Argentine stars are waiting for the final to be held in the Oochao. Both he and midfield playmaker Riquelme are aiming for their first Olympic gold medal.

'When you have a player like Messi in your team, you have a lot of chances to score,' said midfielder Xavier, "and he can make a difference. He's the one who wins the game. We need to rely on Him like this. Defensively, we know it's okay because he's always going to help us. ”

There are also media who make various comparisons between Messi and Chen Feng, and then there is no doubt that from various analytical data, it is concluded that Messi, a football genius who is regarded as Maradona's successor, has failed.

Of course, there are not many such media, because everyone knows that Chen Feng is unique, and it is difficult to find one in a hundred years, but although Messi is a genius, he will produce one in more than ten years at most. There is not much comparison between the two.

Compared with the more relaxed media interviews on the Argentine side, the players on the Chinese team were banned from accepting media interviews before the game, and only the head coach Forado made a summary speech when he was interviewed by media reporters at the pre-match press conference yesterday, and also expressed confidence in the final: "The Argentine team is a great team. They are strong, they are the defending champions, and the Chinese team has a lot to learn from them. However, we have been able to get to this point and defeat the same strong opponents time and time again, and I believe that the next final will be the same. We will win against the strong Argentine team just like we have against other teams before. ”

From this game, which may be related to the historical process of Chinese football in the future, this time the imperial court station also conducted a high-level live broadcast. Like the last semi-final, adjust the time and start the live broadcast three hours earlier.

The commentary lineup in the live broadcast room has been slightly adjusted, and the special guest in the last game, Wang Lao, has been changed to Li Lao, and Li Lao's level before retirement is much higher than Wang Lao, and he is the former vice president of the Football Association. The other 4 people have not made adjustments, the host and commentator are still He Wei, the regular guest is Director Zhang, and the other two special guests are still Haodong and Fang Yi, the representatives of Chinese football that year.

"This final is now very concerned by audiences at home and abroad. A conservative estimate is that the number of viewers will break records at 3 billion. At the same time, I think a lot of people are already betting on who will win tonight. ”

"Judging from the previous key games of the Huaguo team, I am personally more optimistic about our Huaguo team. It's not because of my Chinese identity, but as a veteran fan. The reason why I am more optimistic is very simple, that is, Chen Feng's attack power is too strong, the defense of Brazil and Italy cannot prevent him, and the defense of Argentina is obviously the same. In the case of attacking each other, compared with the attacking players of the Argentine team, Chen Feng is undoubtedly more effective and more terrifying. He's a superkiller who can completely kill a game by himself. ”

It was rare for Director Zhang to say this comment so emotionally, and Fang Yi hurriedly echoed: "I think so too." Chen Feng alone can kill this match and finish off Argentina, the defending champion. Everyone is definitely optimistic about our Chinese national team. ”

Haodong also smiled: "Now the vast majority of people are more optimistic about our Huaguo team. But we can't take it completely lightly. Argentina are also quite strong in attack, and they are not just one person involved in the attack. ”

Zhang instructed the interface: "If there are not many people, the offensive efficiency will be high." Sometimes, having more people reduces the efficiency of scoring goals. ”

Haodong didn't refute it. Li Lao answered: "We must win this ball." This is the best chance that history has given us. Winning this ball and helping our country win the championship and make history is of great significance and cannot be missed. ”

Li Lao is worthy of being an old leader/\ guide, and this speech of giving orders is undoubtedly equivalent to giving a death order to the Huaguo team. Although he has been retired for many years, he must still have some influence. It's just that he suddenly said this, which made the live broadcast room a little cold. As the host, He Wei had to quickly ease the atmosphere and said: "What Elder Li said is very right. This time we were given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we couldn't afford to miss. We also believe that our Olympic team will not let me down this time. Chen Feng will not disappoint us either. ”

……

Chen Feng arrived at the stadium only half an hour before the game. He himself felt a little embarrassed, and the main thing was that the whole team, including the leader/director of the regiment department, did not take the initiative to urge him, which made him feel that he was a little unorganized and undisciplined this time. After all, this competition is the final, and it is about the Olympic gold medal that is of great significance and preciousness.

The reason why he is a little loose is not that he doesn't care about this gold medal. It's just that there's a lot of confidence. And the team's side has a lot of confidence in him after several successive victories. Therefore, there is no hard requirement that Chen Feng gather early in the morning like other players.

If you want to say that the gold medal with the most gold content in the Olympic Games, there is no doubt that the men's football team is. Therefore, this match is the one that attracts the most attention.

After Chen Feng arrived, Yang Tiesheng was already doing pre-war deployment and tactical explanations for the whole team. In fact, it comes down to the kind of routine that was used in the previous games. Implement defensive counterattack + single-forward tactics, so that Chen Feng is alone in the front. The rest of the players set up buses in their backcourt. Although this tactic is a bit of a scoundrel, the effect is still relatively good in these games. The Huaguo team is also playing more and more smoothly. There is more and more tacit understanding with each other. (To be continued.) )
