Chapter 58: Battle of New Zealand

The first match of the national football team was played in Shenyang, the day before the opening ceremony, but it seems that the eyes of the whole world have been focused on Beijing, and everyone is looking forward to the opening ceremony and what kind of wonderful feast this ancient country can give.

A few days before the opening ceremony, South Korean media were also criticized by Chinese netizens for secretly filming the rehearsal.

Li Guo was unhappy about this, and would rather have boring abuse with the Koreans than care about the first game of the national football team.

The opponent of the national football team's first game, New Zealand, is recognized as the weakest opponent by the outside world, and New Zealand is also a daughter-in-law for many years.

Three points in the first game is the most basic goal, but the first game of the tournament is not easy to play, not to mention that the Chinese team is the host.

On the day of the game, fans from all over the country gathered in Shenyang, for them, the Olympic Games start today.

Outside the stadium, on the bus, through the car window, everyone saw the fans outside the stadium, waving small national flags in their hands and painting the national flag on their faces, these should be fans who have not bought tickets.

Soon, they also saw the national football bus coming, so they gathered one after another to form a "human alley" to welcome the national football bus.

The bus driver also slowed down, and the players waved their hands out of the window, and it was difficult to express everyone's mood in words, just like the soldiers before the battle, eager to go on the field and fight with each other immediately.

Li Guo looked out the car window, he was one of them in his previous life, one of thousands of football fans, so he could understand their feelings very well.

The fans chased the bus until the entrance of the stadium, and the moment the team bus drove into the stadium, Li Guo looked back and thought, "Wait, I won't let you down." ”

The stadium is already a sea of red, and Chinese fans are very cute, no matter how cynical they usually are, they will still pay attention to the game of the national football team at critical moments.

When the Chinese team players came out to warm up, the shouts on the scene rang out, and finally attracted protests from the New Zealand head coach, and the staff on the scene could only go to the fan stands in the warm-up area of the New Zealand team to do communication work.

Thankfully, the fans were cooperative, so the New Zealand team warmed up in that small area, and after half an hour of warm-up, the players returned to the dressing room, and after making the final preparations, the players were about to enter.

Li Guo was in the tunnel and he didn't need to say anything, the fans had already done the mobilization work for him, and all he needed to do was give everyone a hug.

"Head, I'm a little nervous," Mu Fei said.

Li Guo touched his head and said with a smile: "It's already here, you're nervous, I can only catch the ducks on the shelves." ”

Mu Fei nodded, but his lips were trembling, a young man in his 20s wanted to carry the expectations of a country, and it was false to say that he was not nervous.

After the players entered, the national anthem ceremony began, starting with the New Zealand national anthem, and the whole stadium was quiet, which was the courtesy of the hosts.

Soon the New Zealand national anthem was played, and it was the turn to play the Chinese national anthem, and the 11 young men of the Chinese team stood shoulder to shoulder, holding hands on the shoulders of their teammates beside them.

The melody sounded, "Get up and ......", at this moment, Mu Fei and Geng Chong shed tears, Li Guo remembered that at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, North Korea's Zheng Dashi burst into tears, Li Guo didn't understand at the time, but now he understands.

The national anthem is playing, Li Guo's mind is also like a marquee, and when it is finally "forward", Li Guo applauds with the audience, and the players on the field are encouraging each other in a circle, and the game is about to start!

*****

In his previous life, Li Guo remembered that it was the New Zealand team that scored first, but this time such a plot was staged again, and the people who scored for New Zealand were the same, it was Brockie.

New Zealand's attack is very simple, it is the most traditional English football, a midfield pass, and then rely on the strong body of the frontcourt players to fight, all say that New Zealand rugby is very strong, and it seems that their men's football team also borrowed from rugby tactics.

Originally, this style of play did not play much in front of the current Chinese team, but perhaps it was the tension of the first game, Mu Fei actually saved when he grabbed Brockie, Brockie took advantage of the situation and entered the penalty area, and then shot unreasonably, and the ball flew into the goal guarded by Wang Dalei, 1-0.

As soon as the goal was scored, Wulihe Stadium was suddenly silent, the camera was given to the face of a beautiful fan in the stands, and looked at the big screen, the beauty found that the camera was filming herself, so she squeezed out a smile, but because the Chinese team lost the ball, the smile on the beauty's face looked very reluctant.

At this time, the role of the captain was revealed, Li Weifeng ran over to comfort Mu Fei, "It's okay, our strength is stronger than the opponent, just one goal, aren't Australia, Iraq, and Qatar all our defeats?" ”

Mu Fei smiled and nodded, but he knew very well that it was his responsibility to lose the goal, and at the same time he also knew that Li Weifeng was right, the strength of the Chinese team was indeed stronger than the opponent.

After losing the goal, Li Guo was not in a hurry at all, New Zealand's strength was indeed too weak, as soon as the goal was lost, the pressure of the Chinese team was unloaded, as long as the mentality calmed down, it was a matter of time before the Chinese team scored.

The Chinese team's goal did not make the fans wait too long, 5 minutes later, Zheng Zhi picked a pass behind the New Zealand backline, Chen Green started 10 meters behind the opponent's central defender, but he was stunned to overtake.

New Zealand's tall central defender is indeed too slow, Li Guo visually checked, this defender is at least 14 seconds away from 100 meters, which is really slow!

After overtaking, Chen Green pushed directly into the far corner, and the New Zealand goalkeeper only made a symbolic save and the ball drilled into the New Zealand goal.

"The ball is in!!"

Now the CCTV commentator on the commentary seat has jumped up excitedly, this is the first goal of the Chinese men's football team in the Olympic Games, worth a thousand gold.

After the goal, Chen Green made a domineering kneeling celebration, other teammates ran over to hug him, at this time the camera gave the beauty just now, she was crying with joy, everything is difficult at the beginning, but the Chinese still have a saying - good things are more grinding.

And today's sentence has come true, after conceding the opening goal and equalizing, now the mentality of the Chinese team players has been completely opened, and in the face of this Chinese team with full firepower, the New Zealand team also feels that something is wrong.

Their manager, who was very experienced, immediately let a midfielder drop back and start playing a back five, at which point Li Guo had a laugh in his head, needless to say, it must have been Sam Allardyce's laughter.

"Big Sam, what are you laughing at,"

"It's nothing, I laugh at the other manager's stupidity."

As soon as these words came out, Li Guo's forehead sweated.
