When the midday sun fell in Beijing in August, there was only one word for it - hot, and the final of the Olympic men's football team was played in such a hot condition. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This was supposed to be for the global broadcast of the Olympics and the closing ceremony, but the downside was obvious, the players were not comfortable playing at midday.

The best time for professional players to play is around 8 p.m., perhaps for this reason, the pace of the game was a little slow after the opening, the Argentine players looked a little wilted, and the Chinese team was afraid of the opponent's super strength, and retreated after the opening.

The Bird's Nest was packed, and the cheers of the fans resounded in the sky after the opening, but after 5 minutes, as the scene flattened, the cheers of the fans also weakened.

Li Guo looked at the time-sharing statistics, Argentina had 80% possession, which should have been expected before the game.

The core of Argentina's organization is Riquelme, Riquelme's nickname is the midfield magician, he used to play in Barcelona, but in the end he did not gain a foothold in La Liga, the most important point is that he belongs to the classical midfield, and his passing skills are first-class, but Riquelme has a fatal flaw, that is, he does not go back to defense.

In fast-paced, all-attacking European football, a striker like Riquelme is outdated, but in the Argentine national team, Riquelme has always been heavily used as Argentina's midfield metronome. Zheng Zhi, who plays a role similar to the Chinese team.

Before the game, both Robin Dutt in reality and Allardyce in Li Guo's coach assistance system reminded Li Guo that only by guarding Riquelme can the Chinese team win, and even defending Riquelme is more important than defending Messi.

For this reason, Li Guo specially arranged for Fang Suo to mark and defend Riquelme, Fang Suo followed Riquelme closely, cruising 5 meters away from him, as long as Riquelme got the ball, Fang Suo immediately went up to defend closely.

But it didn't take long for Fonso to know that he had made things too simple, and that the Argentine captain was not so easy to defend.

Mascherano made a direct pass to Riquelme, and Fonso immediately pasted it, Riquelme bent over with his back and protected the ball, Riquelme was very characteristic of protecting the ball, and it looked like he would lose the ball at any time, but if Fonso didn't foul, he really couldn't grab it.

This is the skill of the classical midfielder, first-class passing, first-class ball control, first-class ball protection.

"Stretch your legs, Fang Suo, why don't you stretch your legs," Li Guo was muttering to himself, but Chen An on the side heard it, "Li Guo, it's not that simple, a midfield master like Riquelme, the ball has been trained to protect the ball, you look very simple, but in fact, you can't grab it." ”

Sure enough, Fang Suo was in a hurry at the end, and it was really fouled, and Argentina won a free kick.

Riquelme is swinging the ball, Chinese fans are a little anxious, everyone has watched the 2006 World Cup in Germany, and Riquelme's footwork is still fresh in their memory, and the ball is really accurate!

On the field, Li Weifeng was directing the defense, and the Chinese team except for Chen Green's half in Argentina to maintain shock, and the other players all retreated to their own penalty areas to defend the free kick.

Li Guo was a little nervous on the sidelines, this ball was quite suitable for Riquelme's right foot, and several big Argentine men in the penalty area were also in place.

Riquelme kicked the ball after a small run, and the ball flew into the air above the Chinese team's penalty area in an obvious arc, and suddenly the air defense alarm sounded in the Chinese team's penalty area, and the first to jump was the first height of the Chinese team's back line Yin Di, but the ball seemed to deliberately bypass the middle of the Chinese team, and Yin Di did not reach the ball.

Then there is Mascherano, who is also the key defensive player of the Chinese team, Zhou Dun stared at Mascherano, and under Zhou Dun's strong interference, Mascherano did not reach the ball.

Just when several important figures in Argentina were stared at by the Chinese team, an unfamiliar figure was born, he struggled at the back point, the ball was in the near corner of the goal, Wang Dalei could not do anything about such a close-range header, the ball went in!

Fans at the scene didn't know that this man was Zabaleta until they watched the big screen, and he was Argentina's central defender.

*****

After Argentina scored, the audience in front of the TV thought that their TV was broken, and suddenly there was no sound, but in fact it was not, it was the scene that was quiet and terrible, the weather was too hot, and the Argentine players did not celebrate because of the goal, but returned to the sidelines to drink water.

Li Guo also used this time to call the players back to drink water, "It's okay, they are Argentina, they are the defending champions, and we were scored first by the defending champions, which is expected." ”

"Head ......" Mu Fei shouted, but he didn't dare to say it.

Li Guo didn't ask, it was probably frustrating, he lost the ball so early, and it was an unsolvable free kick, the player's depression is conceivable, but the game is still going on, and there is no time to be sad.

"80,000 people watching you at the scene, hundreds of millions of people watching you in front of the TV, these are our advantages, today you are not football players, but soldiers, today is also the last day of the Olympic Games, be a hero for a while."

Under the encouragement of Li Guo, everyone nodded, a little passion was restored in their eyes, the game continued, Chen An came over and said: "Li Guo, the incitement work is good, the boys are energetic." ”

But Li Guo is not so optimistic, "It's not that simple, Argentina is a lot better than all the teams we have met before, and I can now understand why they can beat Brazil in the semi-finals,"

"In fact, the silver medal can also be accepted by the people of the whole country," Chen An comforted.

"No, I can't accept it," Li Guo then looked at the players on the field, "I don't think they can accept it either." ”

"10 years from now, 20 years from now, when everyone talks about the Beijing Olympics, they will only remember who the champion is, and no one will care who the runner-up is."

"Li Guo, I just like your spirit of not admitting defeat and being unreasonable, which may be the reason why I followed you from China to Germany, and from Germany to China."

Li Guo smiled, bitter and happy, the situation on the field did not change at this time, the Chinese team was squeezed in the 30-meter area of their own defense and struggled, Chen Green could not get the ball in front of him.

Riquelme's calmness, Messi's sharpness, Di Maria's erratic, Mascherano's toughness, the Chinese team can only grit their teeth at this time!

At this moment, Li Guo began to incite the fans, Li Guo raised his arms high, swinging up again and again, he wanted the fans to be high, no matter how passive the field was, no matter how hot the weather was, under the encouragement of the Chinese fans, the Chinese team finally passed the ball out, and Chen Green was chasing the ball with Mascherano.
