Chinese champion

Chapter 198 The Battle of the Curtain Call
At 28:08 on the morning of April 30, the Olympic team training ground.

After basically losing hope of qualifying, the originally busy training field is now deserted, and the scene of reporters piled up at the start of the top nine games has basically disappeared. Now there are only a few silly people on the training field Except for the unchanging fans and a few reporters who probably couldn't find anything else, there was no one left.

A reporter yawned. He had already heard the voices of the Olympic team members coming out of the resting place, but he still couldn't cheer up. The slim hope of qualifying made him find very little news. If the editor hadn't forced him to find some news, he wouldn't have come here early in the morning.

His eyes subconsciously looked at the training ground, and then he froze.

The reporter only yawned halfway, and he just opened his mouth and looked at the field ridiculously. On the training ground, Pei Weizheng and Zhu Jun walked out talking and laughing side by side.

"I'm not blind, right?" He rubbed his eyes in disbelief—this is true, Pei Wei and Zhu Jun have already changed their sneakers on the sidelines and are doing warm-up activities.

Behind them came Hu Yong, Wu Qi and the others. At this time, another colleague beside him shouted: "What's going on? Why did all seven of them come back? Why didn't there be any news beforehand? God Ah! This is big news!"

The colleague's words reminded the reporter, he hurriedly swallowed back his half-yawned yawn, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone.

"Boss? It's me! Big news! Absolutely big news! Hurry up and send photographers to the training base, yes! The training base of the Olympic team! Pei Wei and the others in Europe have all returned. This news must be Take a picture!"

Pei Wei looked up at the chaotic reporters outside the arena, smiled and said to Zhu Jun, "It seems that they were taken aback!"

Just as Zhu Jun was about to answer, He Jin also came out, blew his whistle vigorously, and shouted: "Assemble!"

The players gathered together one after another. He Jin looked around at the energetic players and said with satisfaction: "Very good. It seems that everyone is in good condition today. I don't want to talk nonsense. Now let's go to the preparatory activities. Two 10 minutes Then the training begins!"

**************************************************
After the news of Pei Wei and others returning to China spread, the training base and hotels of the Olympic team returned to the state at the beginning of the top nine games. Pei Wei and the others became the most popular characters. At the beginning, Zhu Jun was a little unbelieving. He went out for a walk alone, but he was surrounded by enthusiastic fans within 50 meters. The signing was weak, and it was not until several members of the coaching staff found out when they went out that they rescued him from the fanatical fans. After returning, they were laughed at by Wu Qi and the others.

"Tomorrow is the game against South Korea. How do you feel now?" Zhao Lin asked Pei Wei with a smile.

In the coffee shop in the lobby of the hotel, there were a dozen or so people sitting sparsely, most of whom were Yuan Guoqing's teammates. Except for Zhu Jun who took Zhang Qi to play billiards, the others were basically sitting here.

Pei Wei waved his fist: "How are you feeling? Tomorrow's match will knock them down a few times and it will be over. Then I will go back to Spain to play in the league."

"Wow—it's so commonplace, Ge Laozi has been in Europe for so many years, his tone is different!" Zhan Feng said exaggeratedly.

"They were not our opponents in the youth team. They were at home in the first round. We lost Pei Wei and they all lost only one goal. What is there to be afraid of? That Park Ji-sung, don't look at him in Ein Huo Wen plays football, Allah still ignores him! Tomorrow he will be handed over to me!" Yang Bing is confident

To put it bluntly, in the Asian Youth Championship three years ago, Park Ji-sung was stared at by him and had no temper at all. He does have this ability.

"Don't underestimate that guy. After playing football in Europe for three years, his strength has improved rapidly. You have a heavy task tomorrow." Seeing that this little junior was underestimating the enemy, Du Wei hurriedly reminded him, He was Yang Bing's captain when he was in the Shanghai youth team, and he is now the captain of the Olympic team. Yang Bing can still listen to his words.

"So what if we win? It's still two points behind them!" Sun Ru said in a muffled voice.

Everyone fell silent, and Zhan Feng clenched his fists: "It's all because of that Indian cutie! Damn, I don't know what the ball was blowing. In that game, a Malaysian defender hugged me and fell him in the penalty area. He didn't even think about it." Blow, another guy kicked Gao Mingwei in the stomach and he didn't seem to notice it! Next time I see that guy, I'm going to beat him up!"

Pei Wei sighed: "Let's not talk about the past. Regardless of whether we qualify in the end, at least we have worked hard. If we can't beat the Korean team tomorrow, it will be the curtain call for the Olympic team. There are still two games until the end. This may also be the last two games of this Olympic team. We may not come back for the game against Malaysia on the 12th. I hope this game will leave us with good memories. "

"The Olympic team...it shouldn't be like this..." Hu Yong said softly.

**************************************************
"This is their curtain call..." He Jin put down the curtain and said to the assistant coach Lao Zhao beside him.

"Curtain call? What do you mean?" Old Zhao was taken aback, "Aren't there still two games? This is the penultimate game."

"I'm not talking about the Olympic team's curtain call, but Pei Wei and his team's curtain call. Do you think they will come back for the match against Malaysia on the 12th?" He Jin glanced at Lao Zhao , "Even if they want to return to their club, they will not agree to that game, and I will not agree to it. They have more important things to do in Europe, and Malaysia can't afford us to do our best!"

"But having said that, even if we win these two games, our chances of qualifying will not be greater than [-]%. Tomorrow's game is just to show our spirit, especially, we must completely remove Chinese football." Koreaphobia' hat!"

Although the Chinese youth team had won against South Korea three years ago, "Koreaphobia" refers to the fact that the Chinese team has never defeated the South Korean team in national and Olympic level competitions. After winning the South Korean team head-on, Chinese football can confidently say: "We are not afraid of South Korea!"

"However, tomorrow's game is not easy. The two European players of the Korean Olympic team, Park Ji-sung and Lee Cheon-soo, are back. They also want to maintain their unbeaten record against China," Lao Zhao said.

"We have some problems, although Pei Wei and the others are back." He Jin rubbed his temples: "Our main problem now is the lack of strength in the forward line. Zhong Yan left, and now there is no one to find, but Qu Tao..." He Jin gave a wry smile, Qu Tao had become stagnant two years ago, and his state had declined very badly. The most important thing was that he no longer had the desire to play football. An example of being ruined by the big dye vat of Chinese football.

"He doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the Olympic team. The other forwards are not good enough. Zhan Feng is better. The forward is weak. Although Pei Wei and the others are very strong, they have not cooperated with other players. , It’s not enough to rely on seven of them alone, and I can only make up for it these days, tomorrow’s game will not be easy.” He Jin sighed.

"Don't you already have a solution?" Old Zhao looked at He Jin: "You have been practicing the 4-5-1 formation for the past few days. Don't tell me that you are just trying to confuse the opponent."

"Your eyes are really poisonous." He Jin smiled: "There is no way to do this, but Zhu Jun Zhang Qi and Pei Wei's scoring ability is good, as long as they play their best form is enough , But I am afraid that if they get injured in this game, it will affect their future in the club, and it is not worth paying such a price for this game."

"No one can say anything about injuries on the football field." Lao Zhao comforted him: "It's enough to tell them more before the game, and they should be fine."

"I hope so..."

********************************************
At 5:1 on the evening of May 07st, Helong Gymnasium in Changsha, Hunan Province, the 30th round of Group A of the Asian Olympic Games will start here. The two sides are the Chinese Olympic Team and the Korean Olympic Team!

The He Long Stadium, which can accommodate [-] fans, was full. The fans who regained their enthusiasm for the game because of the return of seven overseas players snapped up all the tickets for the game. This also made the organizers burst into laughter—— —They were still worried about the dismal sales of tickets for this game, but now their worries have all disappeared, replaced by concerns about the security situation in the stadium.

There were 5000 Chinese fans present, and the rest were Korean fans. Although the Korean fans occupied two grandstands, separated from the Chinese fans, the organizers were still afraid of the fans from both sides when the competition heated up. What conflicts will there be.

"Don't worry." His subordinates comforted him: "Two thousand police forces have been mobilized. Besides, the outcome of this game basically doesn't matter, and there will be no commotion."

Before he had time to say anything, the burst of applause on the court attracted his attention, just in time to see players from both sides coming out of the player tunnel side by side.

Far away in BJ's studio, Wang Jianxiang was introducing the lineups of players from both sides to the fans. In fact, he was very envious of his colleagues who were in charge of broadcasting the game, because he could watch the game live: "The formation of the Chinese team is 4 -5-1, goalkeeper Wu Qi, defenders are Yang Bing, Li Min, captain Du Wei and Sun Ru, double midfielders Zhao Lin and Hu Yong, left and right midfielders are Zhu Jun and Zhang Qi, midfielder Pei Wei, the only One striker is Zhanfeng, it seems that coach He Jin formed such a formation in order to strengthen the control of the midfield, after all, the Olympic team can't find a striker who can partner with Zhanfeng after Zhong Yan left." He said After taking a sip of water, he continued: "The South Korean team formed a 3-4-2-1 formation. The goalkeeper Kim Young-kwang, the three defenders are Kim Ji-kun, Park Yong-ho and the captain Cao Bingju, and the two midfielders Kim Dong Jin and Choi Won-kwon, Choi Due-wook and Kim Doo-hyun as wing midfielders, two European players Park Ji-sung and Lee Cheon-soo as front midfielders, and forward Cho Jae-jin. It seems that the South Korean team also attaches great importance to this game and has called back all two overseas players. It is the strongest lineup, and today's game will be very exciting."

After playing, Li Tianxiu kept staring at Pei Wei. Because Pei Wei had humiliated him off the court in the Spanish La Liga some time ago, he held a grudge. At this time, he was thinking in his heart: "After the game starts See how I deal with you!"

Pei Wei turned a blind eye to his gaze and treated him like air, which made him even more angry.

Zhu Jun pulled Pei Wei's clothes and whispered to him: "Look, that guy seems to hate you very much. Be careful during the game. Don't let them hurt you inadvertently. "

Pei Wei sneered at his statement: "He deserves it too? You have to be a little level to hurt me. When did I not hurt the first-class midfielder? Besides, their position is different from ours. Let Hu Yong It's enough for Zhao Lin and Zhao Lin to take care of them."

"You are really insidious..." Zhu Jun said weakly.

"Stop talking nonsense, the national anthem is about to be played, be serious!" Pei Wei nudged him lightly.

After the national anthems of the two sides were played, Du Wei went up to pick the side on behalf of the Chinese team, and finally got the kick-off.

The referee was watching the time. The players of the Chinese team did not disperse, but formed a big circle in the center of the court, and lowered their heads while clasping hands.

"Before the start of the game, I would like to say something to everyone on behalf of our seven overseas players." Captain Du Wei said: "We will definitely not be able to come back to participate in the game against Malaysia. It is very likely that the seven of us represent this team. In the last game of the Olympic team, we don’t have much to say about the game. I just want to say that in the more than 1000 days of the formation of the Olympic team, everyone has experienced ups and downs along the way. Afterwards, the Olympic team will be disbanded, and we will return to our respective clubs, we cannot leave any regrets, let us finish this game perfectly!"

He stretched out his hand, and others put their hands on it one after another, shouting in unison: "Come on! Come on! Come on!!!"

The referee from Kuwait saw that the players on both sides were already in position. He put his whistle in his mouth and blew vigorously: "The match begins!"

Pei Wei took the ball passed to him by Zhan Feng, knocked it back to Hu Yong behind him, and then accelerated to run forward by himself.

The curtain call?Then let us completely overturn the tombstone of "Koreaphobia" that has been pressing on Chinese football for more than [-] years in this curtain call battle!

Hu Yong controls the ball calmly in the midfield. Even in the Italian league where excellent midfielders emerge in endlessly, he has already established a firm foothold. After spending three successful seasons with Brescia, he has already had some balls. The team has taken a fancy to him, and Udinese, who is the strongest outside of the Seven Sisters of Serie A, has already begun full contact with Brescia, preparing to call the newly promoted Chinese international under his command.

Li Tianxiu and Park Ji-sung attacked together, especially Park Ji-sung. In the game three years ago, he was so stared at by Hu Yong that he couldn't even breathe, and he was completely unable to break through Hu Yong's defense. It is the first time for him who is arrogant. After three years of training in Eindhoven, his strength has been greatly improved. He is confident that he will win against this opponent again.

Hu Yong is not a fool either, he knew that his ball-handling skills were not enough to break through the defenses of the two opponents in front of him, so he simply passed the ball to Li Min behind him, Li Min took two steps and then passed the ball to Sun At Ru's feet, Sun Ru pushed straight to the Zhu army in front.

Park Zhixing was very angry. In his opinion, Hu Yong had acted cowardly just now. He shouted at Hu Yong in English: "Coward, don't you dare to confront me head-on?"

Unexpectedly, what made him angry was still to come, Hu Yong also replied in English: "Silly X!" Then he ignored him and ran back by himself.

Pu Zhixing was stunned with anger, he didn't expect Hu Yong to scold him like that, he came back to his senses after a while, looked at Hu Yong's back angrily, and ran back to defend.

Zhu Jun was carrying the ball on the left, and South Korea's right forward Kim Doo-hyun came up to stare at him. He knew the weight of the opponent in front of him, so he didn't even have the slightest intention of belittling him.

Zhu Jun moved the ball forward, ready to force a breakthrough with speed, and Jin Dou-hyun reacted very quickly, closely following him, and at the same time, kept pulling Zhu Jun's clothes with his hands, preventing him from speeding up.

During the high-speed running, Zhu Jun suddenly stopped suddenly. Kim Doo-hyun, who couldn't stop the car, was almost thrown out by his own inertia. Although he barely stopped, his center of gravity was already very unstable. Zhu Jun dunked the ball forward , accelerated again, and lightly got rid of him.

Enthusiastic applause came from the stands. This was the first time that most of the fans present saw Zhu Jun's flamboyant footwork that was comparable to the Brazilians.

After hearing the applause, Zhu Jun's playfulness became active again. He didn't want to just dribble the ball to the bottom line and pass it out. He wanted to show his superb and gorgeous skills in front of the folks.

He didn't go to the wing - although in the formation of the South Korean team, once the winger is broken through, the wing will be as empty as Luxembourg in World War II. Zhu Jun wanted to challenge a strong player, so he moved towards having three central The defender and two midfielders of the South Korean team rushed into the penalty area.

What he wants to challenge is the strong Maginot Line, not the weak Duchy of Luxembourg.
