"We even won the Brazilian team, do we still want Nigeria?"

Before the game, most of the fans had this idea.

They don't know Nigeria and they don't know Nigeria's players. They just take it for granted that Brazil were the last World Cup champions and Nigeria were only a team in the round of 16. Under the indiscriminate hype of those irresponsible media, his blind self-confidence is growing day by day.

It can't be helped, the shock of playing against Brazil is too great, and the sequelae that come with it are too great.

Even though Ladd repeatedly asked the players before the game to be cautious and win steadily, many players still had a sense of slackness when facing this group of black buddies wearing green team uniforms.

In the 8th minute of the opening game, Babayaro made a long pass at the back and accurately found Kanu at the top of the penalty area.

Although the Ajax striker is 1.97 meters tall, headers are not his specialty.

In this era of extremely scarce resources and intelligence, who would have thought that a big tall man would have such delicate foot technology?

When Kanu ferried the ball to his teammates, he immediately made a one-two with Amokach.

The Nigerian striker, who plays for Everton, not only attracted two Olympic defenders, but even blocked the trail after passing the ball.

Kanu swayed lightly at his feet after winning the ball, and his pockmarked figure was very confusing. When he got to his feet, there wasn't a single Olympian who didn't think he was going to pass or shoot. So when Zhang Jihua and Li Mingju started to intercept, Kanu had already taken the ball into the penalty area alone.

Kanu wasn't fast, but she had the feeling of entering a no-man's land. When he faced the onrushing Occhulian for the first time, the Nigerian striker didn't go hungry and swung his left foot into the far corner.

Ou Chuliang fell to the ground for the first time, but still didn't catch up with the tail of the ball.

Fenerbahce midfielder Okocha, who was inserted in the middle, pushed the empty goal with his foot and won easily.

When the score became 0-1, the blind fans were dumbfounded.

In the last game, the Brazilian team failed to break through the door, and in this game it was like paper paste, which was easily broken by the black buddies in Africa.

"You're right, Nigeria is a team with a lot of potential."

"You've won the prize, where is this? The children's true strength has not yet been brought into play! ”

"Oh? Are you sure? ”

"Of course it's true, Mr. Bora."

In the stands, a dark-skinned middle-aged man sat next to an old man with curly white hair and a hooked nose, judging the two teams on the field.

Both teams are third world countries, and neither is from Europe or the Americas. But they all have a certain strength to break into the Olympics, and they are also ranked high among their respective continents.

Such a team is exactly what Bora is looking for.

After leading the United States to the round of 16 in '94, Bora has already led teams from three different countries to the World Cup.

With next year's World Cup just around the corner, the national teams capable of challenging for the World Cup are desperately looking for reliable coaches who can lead their country's team to a ticket to France.

And the former Yugoslav old handsome Bora. Milutinovic is exactly what these countries are fighting for.

Speaking of which, Ladd and Milu's brother were once teammates, and through this relationship, Wang Junsheng's Chinese Football Association also contacted Milu to discuss cooperation.

For Milou, though, he wasn't ready to head to the East. At the very least, he doesn't know anything about China and the Chinese team.

Although the Olympics is the venue of the U23s, it is a good indication of the comprehensive strength of a national team two years later.

Both Nigeria and China are willing to seek Milu's "help". Today, the two teams played each other, and Milou came to watch the game at the invitation of the president of the Nigerian Football Association.

Now, the situation on the field is clearly more in favor of the African Eagles.

"Mr. Josep, I don't look at winning or losing, I value the cooperation between the players and the attitude when they are ahead or behind."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Bora, you're right. I'm sure Nigeria won't let you down. ”

Nigeria's Dutch coach Bonfreire is about to terminate his contract with the Nigerian Olympic Games after the Olympics, so Nigeria urgently needs a replacement to lead their national team to the World Cup next year. It's very close to next year's World Championships, and it will take a long time for a new coach to adapt to the team and then make a plan, so if you don't find the right coach at this time, it's too late.

In the stadium, the National Olympic Games, which was one point behind, were obviously a little overwhelmed. However, under the supervision of the coach, he also understood the importance of equalizing as soon as possible, so in the ten minutes after conceding the goal, he bombarded the Nigerian gate in a series of ways.

In the 20th minute, Xie Hui received Tan Ende's 45-degree cross and headed the goal, which was lifted off the crossbar by the opponent's goalkeeper with one palm; Immediately after the corner, Yu Hewei met West's clearance ball outside the penalty area with a volley, and the ball soared into the sky and disappeared into the stands.

In the 24th minute, Yang Chen took advantage of his teammates' interspersed running position to suddenly dribble forward, and after passing two defenders in a row, he pushed the far corner in the face of the opponent's attacking goalkeeper. Although the ball went past the goalkeeper's fingertips, it just hit the post, and the National Olympic Games returned again in vain.

In the 36th minute, Shen Si was injured in a midfield scramble with an opposing player. Ladd had no choice but to play the substitution card in advance, and Sun Jianjun, who was conscientious in the last game, came off the bench.

In the second half, after adapting to the attack of the National Olympics, Nigeria also began to play a decent counterattack.

In fact, despite Nigeria's African origin, most of their Olympic squad plays in Europe, and some players even play in the big four leagues. And among those who have not played in the big four leagues, there are Ajax stars in the Eredivisie like the number four captain Kanu.

Gradually, after the repeated attacks of the National Olympic Games, not only did the physical strength drop sharply, but the pressure on the shoulders also increased.

Thinking of Qu Shengqing lying on the hospital bed in the hospital, thinking of Yuan Weimin who came to watch the game in the stands, Yao Xia, Yu Xiangwei, Yang Chen and other players were anxious, and after winning the ball, they either blindly rushed forward or stumbled under their feet, and for a while, the connection between the midfielders and the strikers was constantly wrong.

In the 67th minute, Nigeria found another opportunity, Ikpeba intercepted Yang Chen's dribbling in the backfield and quickly counterattacked with the ball, changing direction twice in a row past Sun Jianjun and Yu Genwei, who was out of position. In the face of Yao's defense, Ikpeba's through ball directly penetrated the defense line composed of three people and accurately came to the feet of Kanu.

The fans were shocked by such a lax and careless defense of the National Olympic Games, but Ou Chuliang had no heart to complain, and in the face of Kanu who came with the ball, he once again desperately abandoned the goal.

Everything was similar to the goal in the first half, with Kanu dribbling the ball and Okocha running in the far corner.

However, for Ou Chuliang, who was already desperate, he didn't have the heart to take care of Okocha in the distance.

This time, when the tiger pounced on the ball at Kanu's feet like a tiger, the delicate striker, who was nearly two meters tall, actually picked it up on his toes. The ball leaped high over Ochulian and flew into the gate behind him.

2-0, Nigeria took a two-goal lead.

After falling behind by two goals, Ladd played a series of substitutions, but it was too late.

Nigeria, which was determined to defend, made several substitutions of key players in a row under the command of Bonfreire to preserve their strength. In the end, after Yao Xia's shocking shot at the corner flagpole, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Looking at the red 0-2 on the scoreboard, many fans are still confused.

We even won against Brazil, so why can't we win against Nigeria?
