Chapter 86: Dreams and Salted Fish
The distance from the centre circle to the penalty spot was less than 50 meters, but it seemed longer than Zhou Dun's journey from Chile to China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhou Dun's face can't see the slightest wave, but his heart is surging, he knows his responsibility, this kick is about to decide the fate of the Chinese men's football team in this game and the fate of this Olympic journey, this goal is worth a thousand gold!
When Zhou Dun set the ball, the atmosphere at the scene was a little stagnant, many fans lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to look at it, while more fans were praying, on the Italian side, the players were also praying, they prayed that the Chinese team would not score the last penalty, so the Italian team would have a chance to come back to life.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Dun began to run...... Shot!
*****
"Spoon, great spoon," accompanied by the roaring commentary of the CCTV commentary, all the players on the bench of the Chinese team rushed into the field, everyone hugged each other, the game was over, and we advanced! In the final penalty, Zhou Dun gently kicked a spoon penalty with a Tai Chi pusher, sending the Chinese team to the semifinals in a Chinese way.
At this moment, the court was annihilated by joy, Zhou Dun was annihilated by his teammates, and Li Guo was annihilated by tears, and finally entered the semifinals!
The Italians did not stay to appreciate the joy of the Chinese, leaving the pitch the moment Zhou Dun scored the penalty and falling to the penalty spot again, and the penalty curse of Italian football seemed to continue.
"Li Guo, we did it," Chen An said excitedly.
Li Guo put his arms around Chen An and Dutt, and the three of them hugged each other, "Actually, I didn't expect us to go so far." ”
"Then you kid is still bragging," Chen An teased.
"Haha, what's the way to do that, forced,"
Before the three of them could recover their senses, suddenly their legs left the ground, and the whole person couldn't help it, and it turned out that the excited players lifted the three of them and threw them into the air.
"Li Guo, I'm about to fall apart," Chen An was both excited and scared at this time.
"yes, but I'm feeling good, kids, throw a little higher,"
"Okay, big guy, work hard," Mu Fei and Geng Chong coaxed.
Li Guo was thrown higher and higher by these kids, and he also felt a little scared, if this guy can't catch it below, then ......
It is estimated that he is going to cross over again, Li Guo doesn't want to do this, he is used to his current life.
"Alright, alright, stop,"
Everyone slowly put the three of them down, and Dutt was already crying and calling his mother, "I have a fear of heights." ”
At this time, Li Guo remembered Zhou Dun, the hero of the lore, "By the way, what about Zhou Dun?" ”
"I guess I'm surrounded by fans over there," Mu Fei pointed to a place behind the goal, where there was a mess, fans, photographers, and on-site security.
"Hehe, let him go."
Li Guo turned around and left the court and returned to the players' tunnel, the hustle and bustle was suitable for young people, not for him, he wanted to find a place to be quiet.
And in the player tunnel, Li Guo saw Sun Jihai, "Jihai, why don't you celebrate with them?" ”
Jihai smiled slightly, "I've experienced a lot, don't be shocked by honor and disgrace." ”
Li Guo walked over and gently put his hand on Sun Jihai's shoulder, "Do you remember what I said?" I'm going to take you to South Africa. ”
"Head, I believe you now, and honestly, you were the one who rekindled my dream of football."
"So you didn't believe me before?" Li said jokingly.
Sun Jihai didn't answer, it can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, at this moment, a loud sound came from outside the player tunnel, and the sound seemed to be compressed through the narrow player tunnel, and it became louder.
I only heard a burst of "champions" from outside,"
"Champion,"
"Champion,"
"Champion? Appetite so big"? Sun Jihai was a little staggered, Jihai had never dreamed of the Olympic men's football champion.
Li Guo smiled, "Haven't you thought about the championship?" ”
Sun Jihai was stunned, he didn't know how to answer, he replied "no", as if he seemed to have no ambition, if he answered "thought about it", it was lying in front of the coach again, Li Guo did not embarrass Jihai, and said: "Remember one sentence, if people don't have dreams, it's no different from salted fish." ”
After saying this, Li Guo left, and the post-match press conference was about to begin.
*****
When Li Guo appeared at the press conference, there was a round of applause, before the start of the Olympic Games, 90% of the reporters were waiting to see the jokes of the national football team, but at this time they saw the myth created by the national football team.
As the host, Li Guo first gave time to the Italian side, and Italian coach Casirazzi first congratulated the Chinese team on qualifying, and then expressed his disappointment with the result, "We played well, but unfortunately we lost to penalties again." ”
A reporter at the scene asked, "Italy always lacks luck in the face of penalty shootouts, why is this?" ”
Kasirazzi shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "I don't know either, I'm helpless about it, as an Italian, I hope FIFA can cancel the penalty shootout." ”
In response, there was a sparse laugh from the scene, and after the Italian side finished time, Li Guo began to accept questions.
"Coach Li, among the four opponents that the Chinese team has encountered in the Olympic Games, is Italy the strongest one?"
"Of course," Li Guo's answer was simple.
"If we have crossed the mountain of Italy, does it mean that the next opponent, Nigeria, will pose no threat to the Chinese team."
Everyone thought that Li Guo would at least be polite on the surface, but they didn't expect Li Guo to say bluntly: "Nigeria is a little worse than Italy, I think the next game will be a little easier than this one." ”
Some international media at the scene were not convinced, thinking: "In the past, everyone looked down on Chinese football, but the Chinese team on the scene dared to despise others?" ”
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it, after all, China is the host, and Li Guo is also short-tempered.
The last reporter to ask a question was a South Korean reporter, this was not arranged by the press officer, it was the turn of the situation on the spot, the Korean reporter had not asked a question yet, Li Guo asked first, "Are you a football reporter?" ”
"Yes,"
Then Li Guo put on a harmless expression and asked, "Didn't the Korean team be eliminated in the group stage, how did you ...... Still in China. ”
As soon as these words came out, many people at the scene were caught off guard and burst out laughing, and the South Korean reporter was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, Li Guo continued, "Ah, I'm just curious, I don't mean anything else, you can ask questions." ”
But the South Korean reporter had already been born as a Buddha, and the second Buddha had ascended to heaven, and he began to stammer, and finally asked a random question, which Li Guo also answered, and the press conference ended after the last question.
