Chapter 178: The Champion's Expectation

Although the men's basketball team unfortunately exited in the semifinals, most Chinese fans did not criticize the achievements of this men's basketball team, after all, their opponent in the semifinals is the United States, and the American team has not tasted defeat in the Olympic basketball game since the NBA professional players can participate in the Olympic Games.

It is a big pity for Liu Han to fail to enter the finals, because the next three or four games of the men's basketball team will clash with the football finals, which means that Liu Han will definitely miss the three or four finals of the Olympic men's basketball team, after all, the football side is a historic final.

The Chinese team will face the opponent Lithuania in the third and fourth finals in the absence of Liu Han, the two teams have met once in the last game of the group stage, and the Chinese team that has been confirmed to advance lost to the Lithuanian team by 25 points in the absence of Liu Han, which is a big gap.

After the end of the game with the United States, Liu Han immediately rushed to the side of the national Olympic team, in order to meet the breakthrough Olympic finals, the national Olympic team has been training in closed training for two days, and the whole team is ready to go, looking forward to the first major final in the team's history.

"There are thousands of fans in national football, and they are heroes who win and lose" -- this was the big headline on the front page of the largest professional football newspaper in China the day before the final.

In a sense, such a title actually shows the inner thoughts of most fans.

In the past, China's men's football brought more shame and regret to fans, although fans kept gambling and vowing never to watch the national football game again, but when the game of the national football team really came, the fans will still support the national football team as always, even if they experience another disappointment. Fans vented all the regrets and losses in their hearts to the national football team with poor performance, which made the prestige of the national football team lower and lower, and it almost became a joke of ridicule in the whole name. In such a situation, this year's National Olympic team withstood the pressure, with their own fighting spirit and tenacity to let the team reach the finals, it can be said that most of the fans at this time have no regrets, they sometimes even feel that this is not a dream, the next moment the dream will wake up, at the same time, some fans are also worried that the players of the National Olympic team will be abnormal in the final because of huge pressure.

At this time, the National Olympic team was stationed in Sydney, and Liu Han was also undergoing physiotherapy with the help of the team doctor, and after a difficult basketball game, Liu Han's muscles also needed to be properly relaxed and soothed.

And Li Jinyu, who accompanied Liu Han to the team doctor, kept walking back and forth in the room like a spinning top.

"Daewoo, can you stop and rest for a while, I'm dizzy when I see it." Liu Han didn't speak, but the team doctor who was giving Liu Han physiotherapy spoke first.

"Brother Liu, do you think we can win tomorrow? What if I lose? Will I be scolded when I go back? Brother Liu, do you think I have the ability to go abroad? Li Jinyu turned to ask Liu Han as if he hadn't heard the team doctor's words.

"Are you nervous? Tomorrow is a football game, you don't think about anything else, just play as usual, you're doing well. Liu Han calmly answered Li Jinyu's question.

From Li Jinyu's body, Liu Han can think of the mentality of most of the players of the National Olympic team at this time, although entering the finals has made the National Olympic team the pride of Chinese football, but after a difficult schedule, every player has expectations for the championship, not only because the championship will bring them more personal benefits, but the current National Olympic team is like a flower watered by lack of glory, if you want this flower to bloom completely, it must have enough glory.

On September 30, 2000, the penultimate day of the Sydney Olympic Games, the final of football officially came.

"Boys, it is not easy for us to get to this point, we have all paid a lot of things, now the championship is in front of us, we have no reason to give up, persevere, show your greatest courage to persevere, win the championship, you will gain more than just the glory of a championship, you will become the leader and pioneer of Chinese football, I hope to accompany you all the time."

After the ups and downs of the game with the team, Horton now has a very good relationship with his players, and he inspires his players with an affectionate speech.

"Liu, as the captain, let's talk about it too."

"I don't want to say much, just one sentence, win the championship and return to the National Day."

Liu Han's words were simple but powerful, which made the other players feel his spirit.

In the past, the leaders of the domestic football association or the Olympic delegation would definitely come out at such a time to brush up their sense of existence, but after Liu Han arrived, he made a request to the Football Association, that is, except for the team members, no one else can enter the locker room casually, and Wang Junsheng, who has stabilized his status by relying on the relationship of the Zhao family, readily agreed to Liu Han's request.

Cameroon is the biggest dark horse in this year's Olympics except for China, they beat Brazil in the quarter-finals in extra time and Spain in the semi-finals on penalties.

Now facing a weaker Chinese team in the final, the Cameroon team is full of confidence and wants to win the Olympic championship.

However, the head coach of the Cameroon team, Colfer, did not despise the Chinese team tactically, and was able to reach the final, the strength of the Chinese team should not be underestimated, and it is a good thing that the team has the confidence to win, but in terms of tactics, it is still necessary to pay attention to the opponent, especially the core of the opponent - Liu Han.

Liu Han has scored six goals in this Olympic football game, and it can be said that he single-handedly brought the Chinese team to the final, such a player has to worry Colfer, and Colfer is also a little worried about the extreme defensive tactics of the Chinese team, after all, his players are more passionate in terms of personality, and even Brazil can beat if they go well, but if it doesn't go well, the Kuwait team in the group stage almost made them turn the tables.

Therefore, before the game, Colfer kept emphasizing to his players that they should watch Liu Han die in defense, not let the Chinese team counterattack, and not easily foul in the front of their penalty area, the opponent's set-piece is very threatening.

In fact, when it comes to the lineup, most of the main players of this Cameroon team play in the top leagues in Europe, and Cameroon players play in the five major leagues. (To be continued.) )
