This time, Liu Han didn't have to rush back to Adelaide again, because the quarterfinals of the men's national Olympic team will be held in Sydney, which is also Liu Han's luckier.

The men's national Olympic team was divided into Group B in the group stage this time, and the host Australian team is in Group A, so the team that appeared in Group A in the quarterfinals and the team that qualified in Group B was put in Sydney and Melbourne, where the Australian crowd gathered, this arrangement is actually to take care of the host, once the host group appears, the game held in a big city will attract more spectators to the scene to support, but unfortunately, the host Australian team lost three games in Group A, and the group was at the bottom, This is cheap for the Chinese team, who are second in Group B, will play the first Italian team in Group A, which happens to be in Sydney, while the Spanish team will play the second in Group A Nigeria in the quarter-finals in Melbourne, which will be the revenge of the Spanish Olympic team, because in the Atlanta 96 Olympics, Nigeria defeated the Spanish team with great championship calls to successfully advance to the semi-finals, and finally defeated Brazil and Argentina all the way to win the Olympic championship that year.

For the Chinese men's national Olympic football team to be able to fight in the group stage, most people did not expect before the game, although Liu Han's strength has been recognized by everyone, but the teamwork of football is so important, a person for a team change effect is limited, even Maradona needs a group of reliable teammates around to win in the World Cup.

But the current situation is that the Chinese men's national football team's firm tactics and Liu Han's super personal ability successfully reached the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games, which makes many people have to re-examine Liu Han's strength and the tactics of the Chinese team.

For domestic football fans, they now feel indescribable happiness, in the past can only watch the stars of other countries on TV for their country, and they can only argue with three or five friends about who is better, who is more bullish, but now, they can finally see their country's team in front of the TV in the knockout round, although many people know that in the face of the European strong Italian team, the chance of the national Olympic team is not big, but they don't want much, They are already satisfied with qualifying from the group.

Liu Han actually has a very interesting problem now, the football quarterfinals will be held on September 23, and the next game of the men's basketball team will also be held on September 23, and the opponent of the Chinese team in both sports is Italy, which can be said to be a unique spectacle in the 100-year history of the Olympic Games, but for Liu Han, which sport is determined, the men's basketball team has determined the opportunity to appear in the group and the football quarterfinals It is not suitable. (In order to add interest, the men's basketball team and Italy have moved forward the time to September 26)

However, when Liu Han returned to the football team's home in Sydney, he found that his teammates did not have much desire to win the next game against Italy, and most of the national Olympic team felt that they had completed their task, and even the head coach Houghton seemed a little too relaxed.

For the National Olympic team with such an attitude, Liu Han's face is a little gloomy, although he has always been very easy-going in the team, but this does not mean that Liu Han can tolerate any behavior, he did not give up in the dictionary, only do his best.

"Mr. Houghton, I would like to ask a question? Is that all you want? Just qualifying from the group? And then get re-election as head coach? Liu Han directly found head coach Horton and said with some offense.

"Liu, what do you mean? Do you have any resentment against me? Horton felt a little strange, he had never seen Liu Han angry.

'I think you've lost your fighting spirit, you've lost your fighting spirit, you're thinking about getting out of the group and you're done, but I'm expecting more than that, I want more. Liu Han said what was in his heart unabashedly.

The sincerity of Liu Han's face made Horton a little ashamed, indeed, he really had the kind of thought that Liu Han said in his heart, he felt that he had "succeeded" now, although Liu Han's words were ruthless, but they made Horton sober.

"I'm sorry, Liu, you're right, I'm really slacking off, and I'm ashamed of your performance." Horton was not angry that his managerial authority was being challenged, because he knew that without Liu, the team might not even be able to participate in the Olympics.

At Houghton's call, the national Olympic team held an impromptu discussion to discuss how to deal with the Italian team next.

"Guys, first of all, I have to apologize to you because I lost the belief in the next game, which is my own fault, but I will also criticize you because you have also lost your fighting spirit." Horton was straight to the point.

"I thought that I had already qualified from the group, so even if my task was completed, the position of the head coach would be very stable, but Liu talked to me and he made me realize that I was holding back, and I have to thank him. Yes, we qualified for the group stage of the Olympic Games, which is a success that has never been achieved before, and the results are worthy of recognition, but should we stop there? Don't we expect more faith? Houghton's words left most people pondering.

"Liu, tell me what you think."

"I had a great time before because my teammates were all working hard in the game, desperately pursuing our common goal, and now that we have achieved it, it makes me very excited, I like the joy of success, but can we just think about getting out of the group? After three group games, in fact, we should set a higher goal, we drew with Spain, defeated Morocco, and finally drew with Chile, which shows that as long as we are willing to work hard, as long as the tactics are reasonable, as long as everyone can work together towards a goal, then we have hope of success, maybe some people will say that the strength is not up to the way, but I don't think so, I will not admit that I am a loser without a fight, I'm looking forward to being able to stand on the podium and enjoy everyone's cheers, it's going to be a really exciting day, you think.
