404. East Asian Civil War

August 4th.

"Drip, drip, drip!"

Referee Geiger from the United States blew the whistle for the end of the match.

Japanese player Takashi Usami exhaled and his half-length hair was hidden over his eyes.

He and his team were still unable to make it further at the Olympics, and the quarterfinals were already their limit.

"I'm sorry, Usami-kun."

He felt a large, warm and powerful hand tapping his shoulder, and a familiar German voice came to his ears.

That's his former teammate at Bayern Munich.

When they were teammates, this teammate was so powerful that Takashi Usami on the bench was extremely reassured.

But when he became the opponent of Takashi Usami, the Japanese teenager felt even more deeply that this strength was enough to make all opponents despair!

Now he's desperate, his Japanese teammates are all desperate!

"It's over! The Japanese team's furious attack at the last moment not only did not bring them goals, but allowed the Chinese team to seize the opportunity to play a counterattack again! ”

Liu Jianhong had already ripped off the tie and buttons of his shirt, and his chest was blown red in the London afternoon breeze.

Nangong Lei, the guest who commented with his partner, was also excited:

"The score of 4-1 has allowed the Chinese team to enter the semi-finals with their heads held high, and the Chinese Olympic team now has a chance to attack a medal, and if it comes true, the Chinese delegation will make a historic breakthrough in the football program of the Olympic Games!"

Long Shute breathed a sigh of relief.

The Japanese Olympic team does not have the strongest squad, players of the right age like Shinji Kagawa do not participate, and the only players who can name themselves are Maya Yoshida and Takashi Usami, the latter because he was teammates for a season.

As for the other players, they are all playing in the J League, and in terms of personal ability, they may not be much more than Zhang Lin and Wang Dalei, at most they are at the level of half a catty, and it is no exaggeration to say that the vast majority of them are not even qualified to join the Japanese senior team when they grow up.

In such a situation, it is not at all surprising that Lonshette completed a hat-trick, after all...... The gap between him and the opposing defender's overall rating is at least 30 points......

This is the real bullying of elementary school students!

Entering the semi-finals allowed him to fulfill his promise to the leaders of the General Administration, and as for whether he can enter the final finals, I am afraid that even if Director Liu is there in person, he cannot be forced.

After all, they failed to "help" the Olympic team to achieve even a single victory in 2008, which was close to their doorstep, and now in the capital of the British Empire, they can only do their best.

Not to mention...... According to the rules of the match, their opponent may also be the host, how can the Chinese team, as a state of etiquette, compete with the host?

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the results of the other games came in.

Brazil beat Honduras 3-2.

Mexico swept Egypt 5-0.

As for the British Empire, the host country and the birthplace of modern football, in 90 minutes of regular time and 30 minutes of extra time, it competed with the great cold underworld, the birthplace of the universe...... The game ended in a 1-1 draw and was eliminated by the latter on penalties in the next shoot-out......

The defeat of the British team was undoubtedly more unpopular than the exit of the Spanish group, and hundreds of thousands of local British spectators were not only extremely disappointed, but also once burst the complaint phone of the Olympic Committee's ticket center!

Because at least 50,000 fans have booked their tickets to the final a month in advance, they all think that their team will be able to reach the final at the right time......

But they miscalculated, although the Three Lions avoided the danger of being eliminated by the Chinese team in the group stage with their tacit understanding, they met the Taiji Tigers, and the three lions still failed to defeat the eleven tigers after all.

Therefore, the Chinese team's semi-final opponent is not the British team, but the South Korean team.

The Chinese team doesn't have to think about saving face for the host!

Compared to Japan, the South Korean team clearly takes the Olympics very seriously, and they can send a team that represents the best in the country.

Ji Chengyong, Kim Young-kwon, Gu Ji-cheol, and Ji Dong-won constitute the main framework of this team, and their overall ability is a notch stronger than Japan's.

In addition, South Korean law stipulates that as long as they win an Olympic medal (top three), they can be exempted from the obligation of two years of military service, which is simply the most powerful doping for them!

Two years of military service may not seem like a long time, but for a professional footballer, leaving the field at their most golden age is simply asking for their own life!

Not only does this mean that there will be almost no financial income for two years, but it will also have an immeasurable impact on their competitive form, and if they can get an exemption, even if they are allowed to play against the main team of world champion Spain, they will definitely cause a headache for the Matadors!

Ah, I'm sorry, but Spain, who played semi-mainly, was swept away in the group stage......

In the whole world football, the discipline and fighting spirit of the South Korean team are extremely admirable, even if they had the scandal of the 2002 World Cup, but it is undeniable that the willpower and fighting spirit of these players are something that most players lack, especially for the Chinese team that shouted slogans before the game, but was impetuous, and their legs were weak as soon as they arrived on the field.

Fortunately, Long Shute has helped the Chinese team take off the hat of "Koreanophobia", and although his teammates will inevitably feel nervous, at least they will not collapse psychologically.

And his task ...... It's about settling the battle before your teammates have a psychological breakdown!

When the game started 1 minute, Ronshette completed this task, his powerful shot at the edge of the penalty area was blocked by the opposing defender with his hand, and the referee from England, Clattenburg, did not blink an eye, and directly sent the defender off with a red card!

The South Korean TV commentator frantically slammed Clattenberg for being "blind" and "this is the elimination of the British team three days before taking revenge on the Korean Empire......

However, the Chinese commentator Duan Yixuan couldn't help but let out his most iconic laugh:

"Haha...... Ha ha...... South Korea were in big trouble, they were faced with one less player to play from the start, and China also won a penalty! ”

Guest Xu Yang couldn't help laughing:

"That's right, we have gained a major advantage, according to the tactics of the Chinese team in this Olympic Games, as long as we lead by one goal, we can play more easily to defend and counterattack, and at that time, the Chinese team with Long Shute will almost be invincible!"

Before his wonderful analysis was finished, Duan Yixuan's laughter stopped:

"Huh? Ronshit didn't take the penalty himself? Faced with such a great opportunity...... He actually gave it to ...... Goalkeeper Wang Dalei?! ”

The brains of the two commentators stopped spinning at the same time at this moment, and not only them, but also the Korean team was even more dumbfounded.

South Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong has studied the shooting habits of almost all players in the Chinese team, but he has not considered two goalkeepers, and now his mind is completely blank.

Just like those spectators, he watched Wang Dalei trot all the way to the front of the penalty area.

"Captain, you call me?"

Wang Dalei calmed down a little, and then looked innocent.

He had long heard that the team boss was high-spirited in the club, and the penalties he created were never played, but let the defenders and goalkeepers brush up the data, but he didn't expect that it was his turn now......

"You can put it on for me again......"

Long Shute raised his foot and kicked him in the ass:

"Do you dare to take this ball? If you don't dare, I'll give it to Zhang Lin. ”

"Dare, dare!"

Wang Dalei hurriedly hugged his arm, with a flattering smile on his face:

"I don't know how to write the words I'm afraid of, give me this ball, captain, you can rest assured!"

Long Shute nodded, and said again:

"Don't worry about the defense, play well."

Wang Dalei was suddenly relieved.

Don't worry about back defense?

What does this mean...... Of course, will Captain Long personally wipe his butt for him?

How impressive!

"Bang!"

Wang Dalei didn't even have any run, he directly picked up his right leg and slammed it on the football.

Compared with the shooting of sports warfare, penalty kicks do not require so much shooting ability, but require more calm psychology and a little luck.

His shooting doesn't pursue any absolute dead corners and weird arcs, he just exerts his power to the extreme!

Zheng Chenglong was also a goalkeeper with great luck, he once relied on a 70-metre long ball to score a goal in a warm-up match, but today, his luck has been of no use.

He could only watch as a black and white shadow brushed his desperately open right hand and jumped into the door behind him!

1-0!

Although the game has just begun, there is not much time left for the Korean team!
