Chapter 187: The fastest goal in the history of the Olympic Games

After the semi-finals, the Chinese media and fans were in a frenzy.

Whether he can win Brazil or not doesn't matter, at least the Chinese team has guaranteed at least one silver medal.

Moreover, they slaughtered Japan 6-0 in the semi-finals, which made all the Chinese people extremely excited.

Because of the history of China and Japan, there are too many grudges between the two sides. Being able to slaughter the opponent with a score of 6-0 is enough to make Chinese viewers and fans celebrate for a long time.

Of course, for the Chinese players who are playing, they have already reached the final, and they still want to beat their opponents and win the championship.

However, in the face of five-star Brazil, everyone is under great pressure, even Cheng Hai, there is no certainty of victory.

Although the Brazilian Olympic team has not won an Olympic championship once, this does not mean that the Brazilian Olympic team is not good.

Even if the Brazilian team conceded more goals than the Chinese team in this Olympic Games, and the number of goals scored was not as good as the Chinese team, both the media and the lottery company still lined up the Brazilian Olympic team as the first favorite to win the championship.

Even if the Chinese team defeated the opponent with a super-large score of 6-0 in the semifinals to advance to the final, everyone is still more optimistic about Brazil winning the championship.

This is the heritage of the wealthy family.

In an interview with reporters before the game, Cheng Hai did not dare to play Japan in the semifinals, and he was full of confidence before the game to lead Huaguo to win the championship.

Cheng Haidao: "Brazil is the most popular and talented country in the world, Neymar, Pato, Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Hulk, Oscar, etc., in the Brazilian team, are all world-renowned stars, and it is very, very difficult for the Chinese team to beat Brazil in the final to win the championship." ”

Other Chinese players and coaches also expressed basically the same meaning.

In the face of five-star Brazil, I am afraid that no one can say that they will win.

Of course, the Brazilian team is not arrogant and thinks that the Chinese team is a soft persimmon, and they will definitely beat the Chinese team to win the first Olympic gold medal in Brazil's history.

As the Brazil coach put it: "The Chinese team is the favourites to win the Olympic Games, and they have the world's number one superstar Cheng Hai, who has scored 20 goals in five games, averaging four goals per game and conceding only one goal. Regardless of the offensive and defensive ends, the Chinese team is the best team in this Olympic Games. If Brazil wants to defeat China and win the first Olympic gold medal in Brazil's history, it must do its best to have a slight chance. ”

Either way, the atmosphere before the finals was relaxed.

On August 10, in the third and fourth place finals, Mexico unsurprisingly defeated Japan 2-0 and won the bronze medal, and the Japanese team ranked in the semi-finals, which is already a good result for an Asian team.

On the day of the finals, the competition is about to begin.

During the pre-match warm-up, it can be seen that the other players of the Chinese team except for Cheng Hai are quite nervous, while the Brazilian players are relaxed and constantly do some fancy tricks, which attracts applause from the Brazilian fans in the stands.

For Chinese players, playing in the final of the World Series and facing five-star Brazil was something that they would never have imagined before.

Now not only has it been realized, but they are also in the middle of it, and the tension can be imagined.

This made Cheng Hai frown, and he couldn't help but have a little doubt about whether the National Olympic team could defeat Brazil.

Don't go into three or four when the time comes, and then the backcourt is bombarded by Brazil five or six, then there is nothing he can do.

Looking at the Brazilian players with relaxed faces, Cheng Hai couldn't help but think in his heart: "If you can use the opening time to attack and score first, maybe you can relieve the tension of your teammates." ”

To Cheng Hai's delight, during the edge picking ceremony, he drew the right to kick off as the captain, and the Huaguo team won the right to kick off first.

So, when his teammates gathered in a circle to do the final mobilization and encouragement, Cheng Hai quietly said to everyone: "We got the right to kick off, and we will take the lead." After a while, Dong Xuesheng passed the ball to me, I took the ball to the opponent's penalty area, Rao Weihui, Cao Yunding, Maitijiang and other others also immediately rushed to the opponent's half court and answered me on both sides. If I can't break through, I'll give you the ball and hit the wall. We used the opening time and the kick-off to make a wave of attacks to see if we could get the goal? All right? ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

In the face of five-star Brazil, everyone was thinking about how to defend and concede less balls, but Cheng Hai put forward the idea of using the tee off to attack the opening.

This was a surprise to everyone.

But no one disagreed, and everyone became excited and shouted, "Good! ”

If you really succeed in the attack and take the lead at the beginning, then everyone's emotions can be eased a lot, and it can also deal a big blow to the opponent.

Looking at the relaxed expressions of the Brazilian players, it seems that they can easily defeat the Chinese team.

It's all in the finals, and everyone still wants to win.

Besides, with Cheng Hai's prestige and captain's identity, it is impossible for anyone to oppose the decisions made.

Seconds before the start of the game, players from both sides were already in formation, just waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to kick off.

Looking at the eager and relaxed faces of those Brazilian players, Cheng Hai thought that his attacking strategy was right.

The Brazilians must have thought that the Chinese team would rely on Cheng Hai's defensive ability to shrink the defense from the beginning of the game and play defensive counterattacks.

I would never have thought that the Chinese team would use the kick-off to attack at the beginning and prepare to score.

I don't know if it will succeed, but this attempt is a must. Cheng Hai and his teammates were ready to play five-star Brazil by surprise.

At 15:00 p.m. on August 11, with the whistle of the referee Ilmatov from Uzbekistan, the 2012 London Olympic Games men's football final of the Brazilian Olympic team VS Chinese Olympic team officially began at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, the capital of Wales.

Cheng Hai dialed the ball to Dong Xuesheng, and immediately rushed to the Brazilian half, and passed by the Brazilian team's center Damian, who also rushed to the Chinese team's half at the beginning, and made Damian stunned for a moment.

It is estimated that he is still thinking in his heart why Cheng Hai rushed to his own half of the court just after the opening, what is this for?

Next, Damion knew what Cheng Hai was going to do.

Because Dong Xuesheng flicked the ball to the side, avoiding the routine grabbing of Neymar, another striker of the Brazilian team, and dodging the gap, he immediately sent the ball to the front of Cheng Hai's running position.

Cheng Hai received the ball smoothly and dribbled to the Brazilian team's defender Sandro.

At the beginning of the game, Cheng Hai and Dong Xuesheng played a two-on-one, passing Damion, and did not delay time at all.

The commentators who were going to read the starting lists of both sides were also taken aback, and immediately suspended the announcement of the starting lists, and said excitedly:

"As soon as the game began, the Chinese team used the tee to launch a fast attack."

"Cheng Hai dribbled the ball to the Brazilian team's penalty area!"

"Cao Yunding, Rao Weihui, Dong Xuesheng, Maitijiang and others also rushed into the Brazilian half."

"It was a premeditated opening attack."

"The Brazilian team was caught off guard."

On the field, all the Brazilian players were indeed caught off guard, and everyone did not expect that the Chinese team, which should be on the weak side, would attack their hinterland immediately at the beginning without testing, so the team was relatively scattered.

When Cheng Hai received Dong Xuesheng's return pass to Sandro, Romulo, the nearest defender next to him, was still four or five meters away from the two, and he had just reacted and was starting to approach in the direction where Cheng Hai and Sandro were.

But where will Cheng Hai give him the opportunity to get close to helping the defense?

As soon as he got close to Sandro, Cheng Hai took advantage of the moment when Sandro's center of gravity was lowered and the distance between his legs was too large, and the ball was stabbed between Sandro's legs, and then he changed direction and bypassed Sandro: through the crotch.

Cheng Hai passed Sandro with his crotch without hindrance.

Although when he wanted to bypass Sandro, Sandro stretched out his hand to pull Cheng Hai down, but Cheng Hai's strong physique, speed, and balance made Sandro not only fail to pull down Cheng Hai, but was thrown to the ground by Cheng Hai, and even lost the opportunity to chase back.

However, Cheng Hai broke through Sandro in time enough for the last two Brazilian central defenders, Thiago Silva and Juan, to get close to each other, and both stopped Cheng Hai on his way to break into the penalty area.

In addition, the avant-garde Romulo who was chasing back from the side also chased up diagonally, and was about to form a three-man encirclement with Silva and Juan.

Even with Cheng Hai's full-value dribbling and breakthrough skills, it is not so easy to break through the defense of three people.

However, Cheng Hai is not the only one in the Huaguo team. In order to rush for time, he didn't plan to challenge the opponent's entire defense line alone.

Just when Silva and Juan were in position and ready to intercept, Cheng Hai knocked the ball to the side, and then changed direction and ran an S-shaped arc, bypassing the side of Silva's body.

Both Silva and Juan were deceived by Cheng Hai's S-shaped change of direction and failed to block Cheng Hai's running route in time.

By the time the two reacted, Cheng Hai was already about to surpass Silva's position.

Just when Cheng Hai was about to overtake Silva, the ball that was knocked aside by Cheng Hai just now was pushed and passed by the full-back Cao Yunding, who was caught up from the side, and sent it to the top of the arc of the big penalty area behind Silva and Juan.

Then Cao Yunding was shoveled to the ground by Marcelo, who was shoveled from the side.

But it was useless, Cao Yunding played extraordinarily and sent a delicate through ball that penetrated the Brazilian team's defense.

Juan flew into a sliding tackle but couldn't touch the ball.

Silva reached out to pull Cheng Hai, but couldn't hold it.

As for Romulo on the side, when Cheng Hai runs without the ball, his speed is even less visible, and he can't even reach the foul.

Cheng Hai successfully bypassed Silva and received Cao Yunding's wonderful pass at the top of the arc of the big penalty area.

However, at the moment of Cao Yunding's pass, Brazilian goalkeeper Gabriel also attacked into the big penalty area, very close to the position where Cheng Hai received the ball, and Cheng Hai had a small angle if he wanted to hit the goal.

So, Cheng Hai did not hit the goal, but while receiving the ball, he went diagonally to the baseline defense, and then jumped up to avoid Gabriel's falling side pounce, chased the ball in a few big steps, and kicked the ball into the empty goal before defender Rafael flew to clear the siege.

At this time, the game has only started for 6 seconds!

Hua Guo used the kick-off to launch a blitz, and Cheng Hai scored the opening goal just six seconds into the game, helping Hua Guo to take a 1-0 lead.

With a "......", all the overseas Chinese and Chenghai fans in the entire Cardiff Millennium Stadium screamed and cheered loudly with excitement.

The commentators from all over the country on the commentary table also roared like crazy:

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooal……”

"Oh my God, it's in!"

"Just 6 seconds into the game, the Huaguo team scored a goal!"

"It was Cheng Hai who scored the goal!"

"Just six seconds into the game, Brazil was behind."

"Cheng Hai has set a new Olympic record!"

"With the opening six-second goal, Cheng Hai broke the record of 35 seconds for the fastest goal in Olympic history set by German player Boomer at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, improving the record by 29 seconds."

"Moreover, Cheng Hai's goal is also the second fastest goal in football history, second only to the fastest goal in the history of world football with 3.53 seconds to open."

"On October 12, 2005, in the match between América Mineiro and Villanova in the Youth Cup in São Paulo, Brazil, Fred of América Mineiro scored a super long-range shot in the midfield just 3.53 seconds into the opening game, scoring the goal of the Villanova team."

"Even though it didn't break the world record, it was enough to break the record for the fastest goal in the history of the Olympic Games."

"What's more, it's the final of the Olympics and it's against Brazil!"

"Cheng Hai's goal allowed the Chinese team to occupy the initiative in the final, and the next game, the Brazilian team will be difficult to play."

Indeed, in the frantic celebration of Cheng Hai, his teammates and fans, the players and fans of the Brazilian team looked a little dazed.

Some fans who came late were even looking for seats, and before they could sit down, they didn't expect the Brazilian team to concede the goal.

The Brazilian players on the field did not expect that the Chinese team would use the kick-off to launch a scramble, which caught them off guard and really scored.

In the opening six seconds, no one had touched the ball before Brazil was 1-0 down.

It's hard to accept.

They also want to use their overall strength to break down the Huaguo team, score goals early, and win early!

Unexpectedly, the Chinese were more aggressive than them, scoring in the opening 6 seconds.

They could only look at Cheng Hai and the Huaguo team members who were huddled together to celebrate, and their eyes flashed with unconvinced colors.

Yes, as a five-star Brazil, although Neymar, Damian and others were a little dazed by Cheng Hai's opening 6-second goal, it also aroused their fighting spirit.

The proud football kingdom does not allow them to be so insulted by the Chinese national team.

Therefore, after the Chinese players finished celebrating and the game resumed, the Brazilian team launched a ferocious attack on the Chinese team's half.

They want to use a tidal wave of attacks to break down the defense of the Chinese team, equalize as soon as possible, and even reverse the score, so that the Chinese people know how good Brazil is.

Even if the Huaguo team has Cheng Hai, the world's number one superstar, they are not afraid.

Because they are proud of the five-star Brazil!

Football is a team sport after all, Cheng Hai has only one person, and Brazil has eleven top talents selected from all over the country.

Next, everyone saw the scene of samba football dancing on the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

The technical advantage of the Brazilian team is indeed too strong, whether it is the individual skills of the players or the teamwork, the Huaguo team is completely behind.

The only advantage is Cheng Hai's one point.

No matter who is up to Cheng Hai, in the face of Cheng Hai's full physique, speed, defensive position, header, and steal ability, no Brazilian player can break through.

After failing twice and almost being counterattacked by the Chinese team, the Brazilian players did not dare to find Cheng Hai one-on-one, so they could only think of keeping the ball away from Cheng Hai.

This greatly relieved the defensive pressure on the Chinese team.

Without Cheng Hai's physical strength to sweep the entire midfield, I am afraid that the defense of the Huaguo team would have been broken a long time ago.

Even so, Brazil managed to have two dangerous shots in the 4th and 9th minutes, but fortunately one slid out and the other was saved by Wang Dalei from an angle.

No matter who can see, the overall strength of the Brazilian team is indeed much higher than that of the Chinese team, even if Cheng Hai has a wide range of coverage to participate in the defense, even if the Brazilian players' shooting skills are not as good as Cheng Hai, but it is only a matter of time before the Chinese team loses the ball.

The Brazilian players also know this, even if the first two threatening shots on goal did not score, they firmly believe that as long as they continue to bombard the Chinese team's penalty area, they will eventually pry open the door of the Chinese team.

Whether it is a striker or a midfielder, or even two full-backs, they are becoming more and more active in pressing and participating in the attack.

Especially the left-back Marcelo, who is himself an offensive character, after joining Real Madrid, he has been built into a defender with a knife, often playing a dragon assist on the left side, and hitting the opponent's bottom line.

But on the other hand, he can easily get back to the defense after the assist, get beaten by the opponent, and then break down the Brazilian or Real Madrid defence from the wing.

It's just that because his own defensive speed is fast and his defensive ability is also very high, it is difficult for ordinary teams and players to take advantage of it.

But the Chinese team has Cheng Hai, the world's fastest number one pervert, and Marcelo's shortcomings have been magnified many times.

At the beginning of the game, Marcelo was quite honest, and he rarely attacked the front court because of Cheng Hai's counterattack.

But as the game progressed, the Huaguo team was completely suppressed by Brazil as a whole, and it was difficult to attack even in the half, and it felt like the Brazilian team was only one attack away from scoring a goal, so Marcelo could no longer hold back the flame of attack in his heart and began to occasionally participate in the attack.

With the increase in the number of attacks involved, Cheng Hai has been stuck in the backfield running around to help defend, the counterattack of the Chinese team has not arrived, and Marcelo has gradually forgotten Cheng Hai's threat, and the position is getting more and more advanced.
