On the afternoon of August 8, the Olympic football 8-in-4 match between China and the United Kingdom was played at the Comson Stadium Son Spartoatz, which was also the stadium when the Chinese team played the Peruvian team for the first time. Because it is so far from the Olympic stadium - only the semi-finals, the finals will be held in the main stadium. It took a long time for Lu Zhuhu to come here after winning the gold medal in the relay, but fortunately he didn't miss the start time of the competition.

As soon as he entered the stadium, Lu Zhuhu found that there were a lot of spectators coming today, more than 10,000 people. Originally, the Sino-British battle had 8,000 spectators in history, and it was also the largest audience of all matches in the first round except for the hosts. Government representative Dai Jitao and Chinese ambassador to Germany Cheng Tianfang are still distinguished guests at the special table. The number of students from European countries, as well as those in Germany, has also increased to more than 600 people, forming a cheerleading team to cheer on the spot - most of them watched the Chinese men's basketball team's defeat to the Japanese men's basketball team yesterday, and now they feel that it is more promising for the football team - hoping to achieve a "national shame" today. Except for the athletes who had a game that day, all members of the Chinese delegation were still present to cheer for the football team.

In addition to the audience of the Chinese team, of course, there were many British people watching the game live.

What's more interesting is that all the players of the Japanese team in history also spontaneously watched the match between the Chinese team and the British team - but due to the mixing of the Chinese team, they were going to play in the knockout match with Italy, so they naturally couldn't come today.

It was already 5:20 p.m. when Lu Zhuhu hurried in, just in time for the players to warm up - Chinese and British players lined up to enter, the captains of both teams held the ball, and then the players from both sides began to practice shooting.

Lu Zhuhu hurriedly walked to the bench, and saw Dean Dai and Dean in the VIP seat in the stands, and then found several old friends - Tottenham manager Tresarden, Manchester United coach Scott Duncan, and Ajax coach Reynolds!

I didn't expect these people to come today, and they were still sitting together, Lu Zhuhu hadn't noticed them yet, they saw Lu Zhuhu first, and they all waved at him happily. Lu Zhuhu naturally felt very faced: these marshals have invited him to participate in their respective teams, haha! It would have been great if Arsenal's Alisson had been there today. Hey.

There was also Mr. Mo's family in the front stands, and Miss Mo was also there, so she naturally greeted them one by one.

"Uncle Lu, he's amazing!" Lu Zhuhu had already walked over, and when he heard the little boy in the stands say this, Zhenfan was already a brainless fan, and his eldest sister snorted: "Then why can't you even start." ”

Lu Zhuhu: "......" teammates all feel sorry for me because I am too tired to let me rest......

……

The starting lineup of the Chinese team today has also been discussed by the players for a long time, and most of the positions are relatively easy to determine, and there are only one or two places that need to be considered.

Zheng Jiliang was originally scheduled to play left winger, but he has been in good shape since coming to Europe, and Ye Beihua played left insider.

Yes, because of the last-minute mistake against Peru, Zheng Jiliang felt guilty again, and felt lack of confidence, so he took the initiative to give up.

After returning from a serious injury two years ago, Ye Beihua's state has declined a lot, except for some games, he is no longer the courage of the "fearless general" of the year, plus he suffers from height, and he is also very worried about the British. But there was no way, in the end, Ye Beihua could only be used as the left winger, and the "iron leg" Sun Jinshun played the left insider.

Another candidate who needs to be considered is the right forward, Lu Zhuhu is here, this position is naturally Lu Zhuhu's, but he has too many games today, and the continuous rotation is definitely not good, and finally the vice captain Xu Yahui is slightly better than Liang Rongzhao in the state and gets the starting position of the right midfielder.

The team had games for three days, and some players had to "go back to back", but fortunately, Dai Linjing was close to returning from injury, which would be a big help, and he was not allowed to play this game for the sake of safety.

The line-up of the Chinese team is:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Bao Jiaping

Defenders: No. 3 Li Tiansheng, No. 2 Tan Jiangbai

Midfielders: No. 6 Xu Yahui, No. 5 Huang Meishun, No. 4 Chen Zhenhe

Forwards: No. 11 Cao Guicheng, No. 10 Feng Jingxiang, No. 9 Li Huitang, No. 8 Sun Jinshun, No. 7 Ye Beihua

The England squad is:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Hill

Defenders: No. 2 Holmes, No. 3 Fulton

Midfielders: No. 4 Gardner, No. 5 Joy, No. 6 Petit

Forwards: No. 7 James Crawford, No. 8 Kyle, No. 9 John Dodds, No. 10 Edelston, No. 11 Finch

Among them, the captain of the British team is John Dodds.

According to the regulations of the Olympic Games, Chinese and British players saluted the spectators before the start of the competition.

When picking the side, the captain Li Huitang won the guess side again, and still chose to take the position of the back sun, which caused a burst of laughter among his teammates - according to the captain's level of guessing the edge, the Chinese team can always have a geographical advantage.

Referee Helmut Fink blew the whistle and the game began.

The British team first chose to attack on the right side, but Joey obviously underestimated the ability of the short Chinese player Ye Beihua who grabbed the ball, and before he could dribble the ball twice, he was simply cut off by Ye Beihua and passed directly to Li Huitang, giving the British a dismount, and the Chinese audience present immediately applauded.

However, Joey reflected quickly on his horse stumbling, fought back, snatched the ball back from the feet of Sun Jinshun of the Chinese team after two or three passes, and then made a long pass to the front line, No. 10 Edelston was about to be overwhelmed by Mount Tai - but China has Tan Tongtou, how can he be presumptuous in the penalty area? Tan Jiangbai arrived in time to clear the ball!

The British team still has the ball and enters the penalty area again, this time by the No. 8 right striker Kyle shot with his feet, but he could not threaten Bao Jiaping's ten fingers, and after receiving the ball, he was ready to find Xu Yahui on the right side of the penalty area, but this time he was intercepted by Joey. Xu Yahui saved the ball and brought Joey down, and the British team won a well-placed free-kick.

The rough man of the British Empire is naturally very good at heading, this time the free kick is also simple and straightforward, straight to the penalty area, but Xu Yahui returned to the defense to make up for it, blocked the ball, the British team once again attacked the Chinese team's penalty area, No. 7 right winger Crawford shot hard, Tan Jiangbai jumped to the header to clear the siege - once again showed his excellent header skills. The British looked at each other, and generally speaking, my British players should be the better side in heading kung fu!

In the 6th minute, the British team took advantage of Tan Jiangbai's foul to get a direct free kick, this time closer to the goal than the first time, and the angle was better. When defending, the audience also sweated for the Chinese team, and Bao Jiaping in front of the goal was waiting for him, hurriedly directing his teammates to stand in a good position, constantly visually measuring the distance from the penalty spot and the line that the opponent might throw, and his brows were tightened.

The free kick was taken by the captain Doz himself, and the running was very chic, and the ball was very chic - that is, the ball was like the Italian cannon that hit Ping'an County, and it was ridiculously high above the crossbar.

There are no arcs at all!

Even Bao Jiaping, who commanded his teammates very energetically, couldn't help but be happy - isn't this the footwork of amateur players? Surprise me!

I really thought that in this era, I can take free kicks, and all of them are like Li Huitang and Lu Chahu!
