After the first two games of the group stage, the last game of the Chinese Olympic team against Brazil has no impact on whether to qualify or not, but after careful consideration, Crouchen still lined up the main lineup in this game. Crowchen did this mainly because the difference in strength between the main force of the national Olympic team and the substitutes (except for a few people) is too large, if the substitutes are sent on the field, it is likely to be beaten into a sieve by the Brazilian team, which is likely to hit the morale of the boys, especially the strength of the Brazilian team, after entering the knockout round, the possibility of reaching the semifinals and even the final is not small, and the Chinese Olympic team aiming for the Olympic championship is likely to meet it again, so Crouchen hopes to win a game first to establish a psychological advantage.
Before the start of the game, Crouchen was even more glad about his decision when he learned the result of a Group D match that had just ended, although he also knew that even if the Chinese team had the strongest lineup, it might not necessarily be able to win the Brazilian Olympic team, which had the world's top stars like former World Footballer Xiao Luo and their Olympic-age players were also very strong.
According to the schedule of the football competition of the Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese team will be eliminated from the top two in Group C after qualifying, the first in Group C will face the second in Group D, and the second in Group C will need to face the first in Group D.
As we all know, at the youth level, European teams have always been far inferior to South American and even African teams, but as a German coach. Crawford has a headache with the Italian team's traditional anti-counter-attacking style, and the Chinese Olympic team, which also relies heavily on rapid counterattacks, also hates opponents who are good at counter-attacking, so if Crawford is asked to choose an opponent, he would rather run into an African team with problems with stability and defensive ability, rather than compete with the Italian team for patience. Therefore, after learning that the Italian team won the first place in Group D, the motivation of the Chinese Olympic team to snatch the first place in Group C is even more sufficient
Brazil coach Dunga is also not prepared to hold back in this game. Xiao Luo and other overage players all appeared, obviously preparing to strive for the first place in the group. However, Crouchen had already prepared for this, and made certain adjustments to the starting lineup of the Chinese team, changing the formation to a more defensive diamond-shaped position 442, Gao Jun retreated to the position of the forward midfield, the combination of tridents changed from a positive triangle to an inverted triangle, and Deng Zhuoxiang, who basically had little defensive ability, sat back on the bench. In addition, there is another important personnel change for the Chinese team, that is, the No. 2 goalkeeper Wang Dalei, who is more adept at saving dangerous balls, replaced the main goalkeeper Zeng Cheng in this game, which is more stable, and it is clear that Crouchen has long anticipated the difficulties that the Chinese team may encounter in this game.
Due to the strong attack power shown in the previous two games. Even though the match was against the favourites Brazil, the Chinese media and fans still have confidence in their children. However, within minutes of the start of the game, the Brazilian team firmly controlled the game with its superior midfield strength, which caused the Chinese fans in the stands to fall silent for a while
"Sure enough, the strength and weakness are compared! When we played New Zealand and Belgium before, I felt that we were too strong, it was simply a god blocking and killing God, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha, but now when we meet the Brazilian team, we can see very clearly how many catties and taels there are", Duan Xuan, the host of CCTV's broadcast program, frowned and sighed.
"Actually, when I played Belgium before, if it wasn't for the core of the opponent's defense, I got a red card. It wasn't necessarily an easy game to play, and even if it was more than it was going to be small. We didn't have much of possession, so these lads, while already very good, were nowhere near as strong as they could be. Although the guest Tao Wei agreed with his partner's opinion, he still had a relaxed smile on his face, "However." Even if the scene is passive, it doesn't mean that we will definitely lose, hasn't this team achieved counterattacks again and again when they were pressed and beaten from the youth team period? What they are good at is never controlling the scene, but quick counter-attacks and set-pieces! What's more, no matter what the result of this game is, we can ensure qualifying. Let's just enjoy the joy of football easily, let alone get so nervous? ”
After that, Duan Xuan's expression gradually relaxed, but it was not because of the persuasion of his partner, but because he found that although the Chinese team was pressed and even very sad for half the time, the back line had never made any obvious mistakes under the calm command of Yu Hai, so the Chinese team still had to play.
In the 11th minute, the Chinese team, which had been in adversity, played a very threatening and quick counterattack, but unfortunately the Brazilian players were experienced in a hundred battles and took foul tactics in time to prevent the Chinese team from burning the flames into the penalty area. And then Hao Junmin's free kick hit the outside of the post and bounced off the bottom line, making the Chinese fans in the stands sigh
Although the attack was not successful, it still greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese team, and then the Chinese team's offensive was significantly strengthened, so that the once somewhat silent Qinhuangdao Olympic Stadium once again resounded with a tsunami-like cheering. Surprisingly, however, within minutes of the reversal of the situation, Brazil scored first
In the 18th minute, the Brazilian team launched a quick counterattack after breaking the ball, and their soul Ronaldinho keenly discovered the gap that may be the only one in the Chinese team's back line after winning the ball, and sent a stunning accurate straight stopper, and midfielder Diego inserted the ball in the back row to form a single knife and calmly scored the ball to help the Brazilian team take a 1:0 lead! Seeing this wonderful goal, tens of thousands of Chinese fans in the stands also applauded after a few seconds of silence, paying tribute to Xiao Luo, a football superstar who is one of the few football superstars even in today's world football
"It's really worthy of Xiao Luo, even if life is so undisciplined, but now he is still young, and sure enough, a genius is a genius", even Gao Jun was impressed, but Xiao Luo's wonderful performance also stimulated his fighting spirit
Dunga, the head coach of the Brazilian team, attaches great importance to Gao Jun and always arranges for someone to keep an eye on him, but it is impossible for one person to completely stare Gao Jun to death. What's more, the front court of the Chinese team is a trident, and unless the number of people in the back line is retracted, it is impossible to stare all to death.
In the 29th minute, Xie Wenjun dribbled the ball on the right side, passed the Brazilian defender who was marking him with a beautiful change of direction very similar to Henry, burst into the penalty area and crossed, and the unmarked Xulin met the ball sideways outside the small penalty area and volleyed, helping the Chinese team equalize the score, 1:1!
"Well shot! Xiao Xie is also very beautiful! Gao Jun laughed and rushed over to high-five his two partners to celebrate, while the Brazilian coach Dunga on the sidelines couldn't help frowning, now Gao Jun is no longer as isolated as in the 2006 World Cup, this Chinese Olympic team is not a one-man team that can't score goals if Gao Jun is blocked, although the Brazilian team is strong, it is not easy to beat them at the home of the Chinese team!
Three minutes later, the Brazilian team played a series of exquisite combinations in the front court, and Xiao Luo, who instigated the attack, took on the role of the finisher at the end of the pass, but to his surprise, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Wang Dalei, miraculously blocked his close-range shot, and the Chinese team was lucky to escape! And more importantly, with this wonderful save, Wang Dalei, the "nerve knife", was completely excited, and the nerve knife goalkeeper in this state is the most terrifying
In the 37th minute, Cai Huikang of the Chinese team passed the ball to Gao Jun in front of him after breaking the ball in the midfield, due to the interference of the Brazilian back behind him, it was difficult for Gao Jun to turn around immediately, and he was about to pass the ball with his heel to surprise, but his afterglow suddenly noticed that the goalkeeper of the Brazilian team seemed to be standing a little forward, and suddenly his heart moved, picked up the ball and directly sideways an upside-down golden hook, and hoisted the ball directly to the goal of the Brazilian team from outside the penalty area
"Huh? Shot? Yes! The ball is in! It's, it's incredible, it's incredible! Gao Jun unexpectedly shot from outside the penalty area and broke through the Brazilian team's goal, and now the Chinese team leads 2:1! CCTV commentator Duan Xuan finally reacted after a moment of surprise and confusion and excitedly celebrated this great goal that stunned everyone.
And the guest Tao Wei couldn't help but applaud loudly in the studio, "Amazing, amazing!" It's a great goal that has the potential to be named the best goal in football at the Olympics, and it's hard to find a more spectacular goal in the history of world football. Although Gao Jun's technique is not fancy and flashy, when it comes to shooting, he is definitely a genius, absolutely! ”
Gao Jun's shot was beyond everyone's expectations, and even the tens of thousands of fans in the stands were stunned for a few seconds before they suddenly erupted into a terrifying sound that seemed to collapse the stadium
Even the Brazilian Olympic team, including Ronaldinho and the head coach of the Brazilian team, Dunga, were all amazed by Gao Jun's solo performance, and Xiao Luo even laughed and applauded, but perhaps it was the tacit understanding of the same top stars, Gao Jun saw at a glance that Xiao Luo would not really bow down (to be continued......
