When Meli walked into the locker room, he was greeted with cheers and applause from his teammates.

"Well done, Merry!"

"Both of your goals are beautiful!"

"I just destroyed my opponent with my own strength, haha!"

Melly raised her hands as a sign of modesty.

Cantero leaned in and put his arms around his neck: "I'll just say, that kid is really lucky to be able to compete with you." As a result, the boy actually said that it was our misfortune to be against him...... Score another goal in the second half, wear a hat, and see how hard that kid is! Ha ha! ”

"Ramon, what are you doing with him all the time?" Melly was puzzled.

"I just don't like that kid. In a game of the level of football in Asia, you can blow it everywhere if you score five goals in nine minutes...... It is our misfortune to still pretend in front of me and say that it is against him...... Ha! I'd like to see what's unfortunate! Ramón Cantero pouted.

Melly knew that his good friend was so straight-tempered, so he didn't persuade him, if Ramon could change it, then it wouldn't be Ramon.

There will always be all kinds of people around him, and they may not all have the same temper as him, and not necessarily everyone has the same philosophy of life as himself, but it is Merry's principle of life not to force everyone to be the same as himself.

So he shook his head with a smile and stopped discussing the issue.

Ramón Cantero seemed more excited than Meli, who scored two goals, and he danced next to him writhing his ass: "I can't wait for the second half to start right away!" I'm going to have to run to that kid and get a good look at his face after you score this time! That must be exciting! It's even better than the scores of this game! ”

"I know it's a grim ......"

In the locker room of the Chinese Olympic team, head coach Shi Wuyun is speaking to his players.

All the starting players are in the dressing room at this time, and the substitutes are warmed up on the pitch by the assistant coach.

Everyone sat in their seats, some looked at their head coach, some lowered their heads as if in deep thought, but no one spoke, only Shi Wuyun's voice in the locker room.

Shi Wuyun stood in the center of the locker room, and the players almost surrounded him except in the direction of the goal.

He scratched his hair, ran it down the back of his head, and finally pressed it against the back of his head, and he just lowered his head, as if he was thinking about what to do, and he didn't seem to know what to say to his players.

"I'd love to tell you, let's adjust this way and that, readjust your tactics in every position, and you can restrain your opponents...... But alas, such tactics do not exist. Our pre-match tactics were the best response that the whole coaching staff could come up with after a few days. We've been practicing for so many days, and it's all this tactic. Now if you just have one mouth on my lips and tell you at half-time that I have another great idea, and then you just have to do what I say you can beat Argentina...... Then I am deceiving people, and I am deceiving you. There's no such tactic, there's no training, and if I tell you what you can do, there's no tactic. ”

Shi Wuyun shook his head.

"Tactically, I've done everything I could, and in execution, you've actually done everything you could. But are we running out of tricks? Just watch the second half of the game get caught up in the rhythm of the other side and then we get farther and farther away from our goal? Or is it time to give up on that goal? Whether we can qualify from the group or not, many people know it very well, right? That's just a carrot tied to a stick that I use to drive you forward...... Right? Speaking of this, Shi Wuyun raised his head and smiled at his players.

"So far, it's working well. Because we have this goal in front of you, our performance in the Olympics so far has been generally outstanding, which is not something I brag about, but the outside media comments and the fans' reactions testify to it. It stands to reason...... As our first time competing in the Olympic Games, we should have completed our task. It was a game against a strong opponent and we scored as well, so we didn't play badly. This performance can make many people feel satisfied, and it can be regarded as a 'clear conscience' for themselves. As a manager, I don't think I'm qualified to let you continue to fight...... Hulai, you sit down. ”

When Shi Wuyun said this, he saw Hu Lai standing up from his seat impatiently, as if he had something to say, so he raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down honestly.

Hulai is in a hurry...... But he sat down obediently, just writing anxious emotions on his face.

As of now, the Chinese team is only 45 minutes away from the Olympics, and his hat-trick and group qualification tasks have not been completed.

How useful would two bottles of [Pulp Cleansing Elixir] be to him? After he entered professional football, it couldn't be clearer. Every time he faces an opponent who is physically stronger than him, he always has to rack his brains, agitate his tongue, and salivate dryly, isn't it just to be able to deceive the opponent and let himself get even a little space to shoot, isn't it all because of the disadvantage in physical confrontation?

And the [Pulp Washing Elixir] can improve his physical fitness.

Seeing Hu Lai sitting on the bench and grinding his buttocks, Shi Wuyun smiled - this kid doesn't think I'm going to surrender and admit defeat in advance, right? Well, blame me, maybe the foreshadowing is a bit long......

So he changed his tone and his tone changed: "I have said so many objective problems and difficulties before, and I have also said so many reasons why we can give up and go home with peace of mind to enjoy praise...... But I still don't want to admit defeat in my heart. Argentina is very strong, but after you started the first half, you played according to the tactics and style of play we prepared before, didn't you also lead them by one goal? What does it mean? It shows that our opponents are just as strong as us, but they will be scored by us. If you are stabbed with a knife, you will be injured, you will bleed, and if the blood runs dry, you will die! So if we've already stabbed them once, why can't we stab them a few more times? ”

Shi Wuyun looked around at the players in the locker room again, and his expression became serious.

"We, who have been stabbed twice by our opponents, ask this, isn't it quite funny? But isn't that what the game is all about? Whoever can kill the opponent before being killed by the opponent will win! I'm a man who doesn't accept fate. When I was yelled for by the fans to replace me when I didn't perform well, I didn't accept my fate, I scored a equalizer! I've had five major injuries in my career, and most people would have retired a long time ago when I had so many injuries, right? No, I didn't give in, I played until my body didn't allow me to retire. Not accepting my fate has brought me a lot of trouble, and I have suffered a lot for this, because sometimes, some things, as long as you lower your head a little, you can make yourself very comfortable, you don't have to fight so hard, you don't have to be so tired, you don't have to be so bitter...... But there is only one winner on the football field, and there is only one champion, in order not to be bitter or tired, bow your head and admit your fate, so what else do we play?! So why do we have to work so hard to get here?! ”

Shi Wuyun's voice became louder and louder, and in the end, it seemed to echo throughout the locker room, deafening.

"Argentina is better than us? So what? Merley is better than us? So what? There is a quote that I like very much, and I would like it for you here: 'Use your courage before you have self-confidence.' 'What if the score is behind, at least we still have the courage!' (Note 1)

After speaking, Shi Wuyun rested for a while before looking at Hu Lai: "Okay, Hu Lai, what did you want to say just now?" ”

Everyone looked at Hulai in unison.

Hu Lai stood up with a shy face in front of everyone, and smiled very flatteringly: "Just now I wanted to give Shi Gui a 'but' to help you turn your tone...... As a result, Shi instructed you to turn around yourself, so I don't have anything to say. ”

Shi Wuyun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Hu Lai to say this.

There was a low burst of suppressed laughter in the locker room, and it was clear that everyone knew that it was wrong to joke about the manager, but they couldn't help it......

In the laughter, Shi Wuyun also laughed, and he also tapped Hu Lai twice with his fingers: "You kid ......"

When everyone was almost laughing, he regained his tone and said: "I don't have anything to say about the second half, I have said everything that should be said before the game, the tactics are still those, how to do it specifically." In the second half, show our mettle to Melly Banega and his Argentina! ”

※※※

"In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and no one made any substitutions...... Although the national Olympic team was one goal behind, overall, the performance in the first half was remarkable, not too bad. It is possible that Shi Wuyun did not make any adjustments for this reason. It's the same for Argentina, after all, they are the lead now, and there is no need to adjust......"

After the start of the second half of the game, the commentator He Feng made a routine introduction, and to be honest, he didn't dare to have too many expectations for the second half, so he also began to deliberately maintain a calm tone when commenting on the game, trying not to substitute emotions into it, so as to avoid being affected by the process of the game and interfering with his commentary work.

At halftime, he and guest commentator Yan Kang exchanged views on the second half, and they both agreed that with the strength gap between Argentina and the Chinese team, the Chinese Olympic team may continue to concede goals when Melly Banega has completely played the state.

Melly has already scored two goals and is just one goal away from a hat-trick, so will he be able to close his feet at this point?

Apparently not.

Therefore, the two of them are not very optimistic about the Chinese Olympic team in the second half, for fear that the national Olympic team, which played very well, will collapse in the second half.

Although even if you lose to Argentina by a big score, the difference in strength between the two teams is appropriate and normal.

But the two of them are still a little selfish, hoping that if the Chinese team wants to lose, the loss will look better, and they will do their best to lose again, and come to a "glorious defeat", although the defeat is still glorious. In this way, everyone can get by on face......

“…… In the second half, I hope that the national Olympic team can first stabilize the defense line, withstand Argentina's offensive, and then find a way to counterattack......"

He Feng was talking about it, and the game on the field had been carried out to the point where the Chinese team advanced the attack to the front of the Argentine penalty area.

Jule stopped the ball with his chest with his back to the goal and then pushed Juan Sosa behind him to do the ball back.

After Luo Kai, who was pulled to the middle, received his return, he shot directly with his feet without stopping the ball!

"Look at this ball!" Yan Kang next to him was the first to react and interrupted He Feng's explanation with a shout.

The goalkeeper of the Argentine Olympic team, Rino Marinelli, took to the air and reached for the ball to lift the ball off the crossbar!

"Wow! The quality of the shot is quite high! He Feng also reacted and exclaimed, "Not long after the start of the second half, the National Olympic team won a corner kick!" ”

"After the start of the second half, the national Olympic team played very proactively, and it seems that they were not knocked down by the goals conceded in the first half!" Yan Kang was very excited, although the goal was not scored, he saw what made him excited.

"That's right, hopefully the boys in the Olympic team will keep the momentum going. Put the results aside and fight with them! ”
