Chapter 7: The Battle for the Gold Medal

August 11, 2012, Wembley Stadium, London, England. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info burn? Wen Xiao?? Say? w?ww?.?

In the past, it was the home of the England national team.

Today, it is the venue for the men's final at the London Olympics.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter and other giants came to the VIP table early to sit with the officials of the British Olympic Committee to watch the last and most important game of Olympic football.

In addition to these football giants and some football celebrities, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and members of the British royal family also sat in a VIP seat, in addition to Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho and Zidane's appearances also attracted a lot of media attention.

It was getting late, the stands were packed, and the players of the two teams participating in the final had already walked into the stadium under the guidance of the referee on duty, and the game was about to begin.

The most important gold medal in the Olympic men's football team will be the winner of it.

Today's star-studded British Olympic team is against Mexico, the dark horse of the men's football team at the Olympics, and you can't even find a well-known player in this South American team, but the only famous Dos Santos is put on the bench.

But it was such a team that defeated the Asian twin stars South Korea and Japan, and ran over Switzerland and other European and American powerhouses to reach the final.

Great Britain starting line-up (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Butland

Defenders: Taylor, Terry, Phil Jones, Bertrand

Midfielders: Aaron Ramsey, Frank Lampard, David Beckham

Forwards: Bale, Carroll, Walcott

Mexico Olympic Team (4-5-1):

Goalkeeper: Corona

Defenders: Israel Jimenez, Miyer, Reyes, Darwin Chavez

Midfielders: Enlix, Salcido, Herrera, Fabian, Aquino

Forward: Peralta

The right to kick off first belongs to the Mexican Olympic team, who are clearly playing with all their strength in a 4-5-1 formation.

After Mexican strikers Peralta and Enlix drove the ball, only Peralta, who was a striker, turned and rushed into the backfield of the British Olympic team, and Enlix's first reaction was not to press the attack, but to defend from a position.

"It looks like this final is not going to be good." Although he has never coached a team, Arthur, who has been at the helm of Blackburn for 12 years, is absolutely brilliant in football, and he can see the tactical arrangement of the Mexican Olympic team at a glance when he is on the bench for the British Olympic team.

But so what?

Is the British Olympic team an opponent who can be leveled by stubborn defense?

Mexico, who were in full swing in front of goal, easily gave away possession and Richards gently pushed the ball to Bale's feet.

Bale then struck with his right foot, and the ball rolled quickly in front of Beckham, and then Bale sprinted to the back of Mexico with Carroll and Walcott, who had already started.

Quickly crossing the halfway line, Beckham slammed the ball with his left foot and shook off Fabian for a steal. It's not that heartthrobs can't pass, it's just that they aren't as good as other wide players.

Beckham, who made a beautiful dribble, followed up with his right foot and the ball fell to Walcott's feet.

Without waiting for Walcoat to pick up the ball, Aquino rushed over to steal. Walcott approached the ball with a lunge step, and after firmly protecting the ball, Aquino's body shape was slightly off, and he poked the ball with his toes and quickly wiped it over.

Aquino's face changed, and he immediately turned around and desperately chased Walcott's figure, but Aquino was not the opponent of the Arsenal youngster in terms of speed at all, and could only watch Walcourt burst into the front of the penalty area.

Seeing the situation, Enlix hurriedly rushed over, Reyes also quickly pounced from the penalty area, and Walcott's sudden figure stopped and looked up to find Carroll and other teammates.

Walcott just glanced at it, then moved his right foot and the ball rolled quickly.

Miel desperately pestered Bale to prevent Carroll from easily receiving the ball and breaking through, and Darwin Chavez also rushed over to intercept Bale head-on.

However, Bale's movements were as slippery as a loach, and with a twist of his body, he broke away from Miel's entanglement, picked up the ball with his right foot, and passed the ball over the head of Darwin Chavez into the Mexico penalty area.

Due to the attack of Miel, Darwin Chávez and Reyes, there is only one defender left in the penalty area, Israel Jimenez defending Carroll, and the Mexican defense of the original four defenders looks very hollow at this moment.

Carroll quickly pounced on the ball, sprang into the air with his feet, and scrambled to the top of the ball before he scrambled for the top of the ball with a quick right foot.

The ball was forced to fly towards the goal, and the goalkeeper Corona, who had been prepared, rose up and flew towards the goal.

Although Corona's arm did not save on the ball, the ball did not fall into the goal behind Corona, but flew out of the bottom line by grazing the post.

Carroll shook her head in dissatisfaction, this was a great opportunity, but unfortunately, she ran backwards out of the penalty area and waited for Corona's kick-off.

The caddie quickly threw the ball in, Corona picked it up unhurriedly, walked to the small penalty area line and placed it, looked up at the midfield, and then drove the ball out. In this game, Mexico was able to use all means to spend the time of the game as much as possible.

Israel Jimenez took the ball from Corona and sent a through ball to Enlix, who faced Ramsey who pounced on him and moved his left foot to the feet of Fabian.

Fabian stretched out his foot to catch the ball, and Beckham's figure had already pounced on him, interfering with his ball, and in desperation, Fabian had no choice but to pass the ball to the side.

Unexpectedly, Walcott, who was behind Herrera, suddenly started to kill, squeezed away to catch Herrera with his outstretched foot, cut off the ball first, and at the same time pushed the ball with his feet, and the ball rushed to the Mexican backfield looking for an opportunity, Bale.

After a few inhalations, Bale, who was running with the ball, was already gradually pulling away from Herrera.

How could Darwin Chavez in the penalty area stay still, gritted his teeth and desperately rushed out again, and pounced on Bale head-on, even if he only stopped Bale for a second, his teammates behind him could catch up and intercept this damn guy together.

It's a pity that in the face of Darwin Chavez's ushering interception, the running Bale did not stop for even a second, after Darwin Chavez pounced, Bale hid the ball behind him with a step, and knocked the heel of his right foot, but the ball was picked up from behind Darwin Chavez's head Xuan Xuan.

Rainbow overlooked!

Darwin Chavez was in a state of anguish, and before he could turn around, Bell's figure quickly swept past him.

But Reyes, the next blocker, was already making a quick pounce on Bale.

Facing Reyes, who pounced, Bale looked at the position of goalkeeper Corona, and then looked at Carroll's running position, his body shook, and his feet swiped back and forth in front of the ball.

Israel Jimenez was in a hurry, giving up the defense and waiting to pounce, but Bale didn't want to let Reyes behind him cause him any more trouble after breaking through Reyes, and he smashed the ball with his left foot, and quickly followed up with his right foot to make a volley, and shot the ball hard towards the goal.

Corona moved desperately, roared and flew to the ground and rolled towards the goal, but although his movements were very standard, his arms stretched to the extreme still could not touch the ball, just because Bale's shot angle was very tricky, rubbing the inside of the post in the far corner and rolling past the goal line, and was blocked by the goal side net and rolled back to Corona's back without moving.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

The cheers rose to the sky, accounting for the vast majority of British fans, Bale's goal indicates that Britain will usher in another Olympic gold medal!

Although there is still a lot of time to play, but one goal behind, how can we compete with England for this championship trophy with the opponent's lineup?

Mexico coach Turner's old face turned red with the anger of conceding the goal, and the angry Turner stood on the sidelines of the pitch with a gloomy face, but he was not a first-class manager and he didn't know how to make adjustments.

Silently picking up the ball from the goal, Corona kicked it hard into the midfield, where his team-mates were already frustrated and waiting for another kick-off.

The referee did not let the British players waste more time, and quickly recalled Bale and others in celebration, so that the game could be restarted again.

After Peralta and Fabian drove the ball, they did not waste time in the midfield, and quickly rushed to the British backfield, but they could not organize a decent attack in the face of the defense of the British Olympic team for a while, so they could only choose to pass the ball back to their own backfield.

Enlix latched onto the ball from the back of Israel Jimenez and was quick enough to pass to Aquino in the face of Lampard's tackle.

But Aquino couldn't break through the midfield quickly, and Walcott's figure was already dangling in front of him.

When it comes to the quality of the midfield, no team in this Olympics can compare with the British Olympic team, after all, almost all of the British Olympic team's midfield are the world's top stars, even if Ramsey is a new star who has played a dazzling performance in a giant team like Arsenal.

Intercepted by Walcott, Aquino's forward figure froze, and with his feet in the area, he quickly passed the ball to Enlix's feet.

Enlix was not slacking off, facing the ball rolling over, without waiting for Bale to pounce on the steal, a pick pass turned out to pass the ball directly behind Bale and fell to the feet of Fabian, who came back to receive the ball.

Phil Jones made a quick save from the box to interfere with Fabian's ball protection and passing. Fabian dared to linger in the defense of the British Olympic team, his eyes found Peralta's figure, and he moved his feet and quickly passed the ball over.

John Terry sprinted past Peralta, but was unable to stop or disrupt Peralta's shot.

However, Peralta's eager shot failed to grasp the angle and strength, and actually kicked the ball directly into Boitland's arms, which was easily confiscated by Boitland.

Ignoring the frustrated Peralta, Butland quickly ran to the line of the penalty area with the ball and threw it hard at Bale.

It's time for the British Olympic team again! (To be continued.) )
