Chinese champion

Chapter 390 The top eight opponents in the top of the world—Italy again? (Complete)
Chen Bo did not disappoint He Jin, and at the same time he did not let his future slip away from his hands.

At No. 20 minutes into the game, the sound of "changing Chen Bo" above the stands has become less and less, replaced by constant applause and louder cheering.

In these 10 minutes, Chen Bo finally showed his demeanor that he was the main player in the Super League team at the age of 17. He passed, passed, got rid of, organized, and he did everything that the midfielder should do. The Chinese team's midfield is well organized.

Although it can't immediately bring a qualitative change to a team like Pei Wei, at least in these 10 minutes, Chen Bo's performance is qualified.

As the game progressed, Chen Bo felt more and more enlightened—it turns out that the feeling of playing midfield is so good, watching his teammates keep passing the ball to the opponent's goal Threat, this feeling of excitement is no worse than scoring a goal yourself!

Although Eto'o is not on the court, Cameroon's strength is not weak. Originally, African teams or African players are characterized by young players who are easy to achieve results. When they were less than 20 years old, they let European football know their names, and often in competitions such as the World Youth Championship and the Olympics, African teams have always performed very well.

But African players also have their own obvious flaws, that is, due to the lack of formal training since childhood, their discipline and professionalism are not very strong, and the "shooting star phenomenon" appears especially frequently on African players.

For example, the former Nigerian international West - you are right, the perverted guy who likes to wear green pigtails all over his head. He was the player who played the main central defender position of Inter Milan at the age of 20, but in 98 Years later, his condition has gone from bad to worse, where is he now?You ask me, who am I to ask?
Then there is the talented Nigerian striker Kanu who won the Olympic champion at the age of 19 and joined the world's giants Inter Milan. Now he can only hang out in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. Senegal, Diouf, Fadiga...who knows their names now?

Therefore, in the World Youth Championships and the Olympic Games, African teams often do not lose the wind when facing the same undisciplined South American teams and European teams that aim to discover one or two stars of tomorrow. He can even win the battle, but he often suffers big losses when facing more disciplined Asian teams.

Among them, Chinese players are the most important. The characteristics of Chinese young players are young and mature, with strong tactical discipline. Although it is debatable whether this characteristic is good or bad, African teams have always had headaches in such games. The team is an indisputable fact.

After half an hour of entanglement with the Chinese team, the weakness of the Cameroon players' lack of tactical discipline was exposed. Facing the overall rigorous attack of the Olympic team, they showed more and more flaws.

No. 307 minutes, Zhu Jun scored his first goal in the Olympic Games - it was Chen Bo who assisted him.

After stealing the ball, Zhou Hai sent the ball to Chen Bo's feet. As soon as Chen Bo looked up, he saw that Zhu Jun was rushing forward on the left side. Before he had time to think, he immediately stuffed the ball.

Because Cameroon's full-back assisted too much, Zhu Jun had no one to defend now. After receiving the pass, he immediately rushed forward quickly.

Controlling the ball while running is exactly what Zhu Jun is good at—his speed with the ball is not much slower than his speed without the ball. Although the Cameroon players chased after him, they still couldn’t catch up. Zhu Jun.

It was Cameroon itself that caused this situation-even their central defenders went up when they were attacking, so how could they prevent the rapid counterattack of the Olympic team?
After breaking into the penalty area, Zhu Jun's series of shakings made the opponent's goalkeeper dizzy, and then he pushed and shot easily against the empty goal. 1:0, this goal is so easy.

"Good job!" He Jin stood up from the coach's bench and applauded with a smile. He was not applauding for Zhu Jun. If he couldn't hit such a ball, he wouldn't be the main player in Barcelona. He Jin was applauding for Chen Bo.

Although according to Pei Wei's standards, this pass is not good enough. For example, the ground ball passed instead of a high-altitude ball is easy to be broken, and the speed of the pass is not fast enough. Zhu Jun had to slow down to catch the ball because he got a little late... Wait, etc., but being able to spot Zhu Jun's insertion and pass the ball at the first time is enough to prove that Chen Bo already has a The vision that an excellent midfielder should have.

After conceding the goal, the Cameroon team increased their offensive strength, but the chain reaction caused directly led to their shortcomings in the defense line becoming more prominent. Although their head coach has been commanding loudly from the sidelines, he has never The Cameroon players, who are used to playing in strict formations, didn't seem to hear it at all.

Before the end of the first half, the Chinese team organized another successful counterattack. Chen Bo scored the ball in the middle, and Zhu Jun made a beautiful diagonal pass, which gave Dong Yuzhuo a single-handed chance. Unfortunately, his shot missed the post.

In the second half, He Jin replaced Zhu Jun with another young player, and the head coach of Cameroon did not send Eto'o to strengthen the counterattack. For both sides, it is almost the same whether they are first or second, and they will always meet For one of Argentina or Italy, instead of fighting for the name of the first in a group, it is better to recharge your batteries and prepare for the quarter-finals in three days.

However, the belief of the Chinese team in the first group is stronger than that of Cameroon, because the first place in Group A will finish the rest of the game in BJ. For the Chinese team who want to compete for the final championship, it is a matter of avoiding fatigue very important thing.

Facing the uninterested Cameroon team, the Chinese team successfully expanded the score in the second half. Dong Yuzhuo scored his second goal in the Olympic Games. Although this goal was not assisted by Chen Bo, no one can deny it His role in this goal.

It was his timely distribution of the ball to Zhang Wen on the right that allowed Zhang Wen to make a comfortable cross. Gao Lin headed the ball and Dong Yuzhuo scored with a shovel.

Seeing Chen Bo's performance, He Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Chen Bo's psychological problem of not being willing to be a substitute has been solved, all he needs to do is to direct the game well.The Olympic team's journey to the Olympics can only be regarded as the real start now.

************************************
Three hours after the Chinese Olympic team successfully won the top spot in the group with a record of three consecutive victories, a crucial battle in Group B also began.

Of course, this crucial battle will not be the battle between South Korea and Ghana for the third and fourth places, but the battle between Argentina and Italy for the first and second places in the group. After knowing that the Chinese team qualified first in the group, in order not to rush When they meet the host Chinese team, which has the right time, place and people, there will be an extremely tragic fight between the two powerhouses.

When this crucial game started, the entire Chinese Olympic team had already flown back to BJ directly after the game, preparing for the quarterfinals three days later. After a tiring journey, all the Chinese Olympic team arrived at the station The players all returned to their rooms to rest, but the coaching staff headed by He Jin was not so lucky. Although they were also very tired, they could not go to rest yet, and had to watch the match that decided the Olympic team. An opponent's game.

"Looking at the lineup, the two sides did not stay strong, and they all fought with the main force. It seems that they really don't want to meet our Chinese team in advance." Shortly after the start of the game, the assistant coach Lao Zhao said with a smile.

"That's natural." Another assistant coach Lao Xiao nodded: "In such a tournament system, it is always unfavorable to meet the host in advance, especially for Argentina and Italy who were in the 2002 World Cup. For a team with painful memories... After all, no matter how strong Cameroon is, it is much easier to deal with than us."

"What do you mean?" He Jin glanced at Lao Xiao: "Do we need to use those despicable means to win? Just kidding!"

Old Xiao smiled: "I don't mean that, I'm just talking about the facts, even if we haven't thought about this issue, don't they have any concerns about it?"

He Jin rubbed his chin: "Well...it seems to make sense...it seems that we can use their mentality to trick them in the competition."

"Look! A goal!" Another assistant coach, Lao Chen, who had been silent for a while, pointed at the TV and shouted.

Not long after the game started, Rossi, a talented striker who returned from Manchester United to Parma, made a sharp breakthrough on the wing to get rid of the defense of the Argentine left-back. The opponent was forced to foul from behind when he could not catch up. The yellow card also gave the Italian team a free kick in a very good position.

Montolivo, who played for Juventus, took a beautiful arc kick and stepped forward to assist the central defender. Pei Wei's teammate Andreoli beat the opponent and scored with a header!
Andreoli's excellent jumping ability was fully revealed in the header just now. He jumped a full head above the defender defending him. The Argentine goalkeeper Ustari had nothing to do with the header. reaction.

Facing the unfavorable situation of falling behind at the beginning, the Argentine team did not appear discouraged, because they had what can be said to be the most luxurious offensive line in this Olympic Games - Messi, Crespo, Higuain, Aguero, Even the combination of Brazil's Kaka and Adelaide may be slightly inferior to Argentina in terms of lethality.

"It seems that Argentina's defense is weak..." Looking at the celebrating Italian players, Lao Zhao said thoughtfully: "It is so easy to concede a goal, Italy's offense is not very good."

"But their offense is indeed very powerful. They only conceded one goal in the first two games." Lao Xiao retorted: "Their offense is enough to suppress the opponent's offense, which will greatly increase the opponent's threatening offense. Reduce, to deal with Argentina, we must first restrain their offense! Otherwise, no matter how bad Argentina's defense is, few teams dare to score more goals than them!"

He Jin quietly listened to their argument and did not speak.

******************************************
Sure enough, after conceding the ball, Argentina launched a tidal attack. Messi, Higuain and Aguero made ingenious breakthroughs, and Crespo's keen sense of grabbing points in the middle gave Italy's defense a lot of trouble. , and behind them, Cambiasso and Gago, two highly offensive midfielders, can also pose a great threat to Italy's goal.

But Italy's defense is not vegetarian. Although the combination of Zacardo, Barzagli, Andreoli and De La Fiore is not that famous, they are all strong and powerful, supplemented by a stable goalkeeper. Abbiati, even if the Argentine national team comes, it may take a lot of effort to break through this line of defense.

The defenders of the Italian team are more defensive than offensive, so most of their offenses are initiated by the wing combination of Palatino and Gasbaroni from Juventus. It is fast, strong breakthrough ability, and personal skills are also very good. Pacini and Rossi on the forward line are a standard combination of one high and one fast. Their offense still makes Argentina feel a little afraid.

Several very threatening attacks by Messi and others have been steadily blocked by the Italian defenders. Their zone defense has largely controlled the individual breakthroughs of the Argentine players relying on technology. As for the high ball, it has never been It is not Argentina's specialty. Although it has a top center like Crespo, it can't play a big role in front of Italy, which has a clear advantage in height.

"Argentina is not doing well." After the first half, Lao Chen said with a sigh.

"Yes, the offense is completely controlled by Italy. At the same time, there seems to be no way to quickly counterattack Italy in defense. If we really continue to fight like this, our opponent in three days is likely to be Argentina." Lao Zhao Also agree with him.

"That's not necessarily the case." He Jin said suddenly: "I think Argentina will definitely catch up in the second half. Don't forget, only one draw is needed, and Argentina will be the first in the group - their goal difference is better than that of Italy. Two more."

"But is it that easy to score Italy's goal?" Lao Chen retorted: "Although there is no unbreakable defense in the world, Italy's tactics are very correct. But it makes Argentina very afraid, and with Rossi's technique and Pazzini's impact, the Argentine team probably can't attack without any scruples, right?"

"What we say here is all false." He Jin said with a smile: "The field changes rapidly, and maybe a small change can lead to a different result of the game. Let's watch the game carefully."

**************************************
In the second half, the situation on the court remained unchanged. Argentina was still the main attacker and Italy was the main defender.But Argentina's offense cannot be fully utilized, and it is impossible for Italy's defense to completely control the opponent's offense and then use the counterattack to continue to score, so the two sides fell into entanglement in the midfield.

The head coach of the Italian Olympic team is very distinctive. Their head coach is not played by one person, but like the Swedish national team and Mallorca before, they are jointly coached by two coaches, and the two coaches When he was a player, he was well-known, namely "Bantam" Zola and former Italian main striker Casiraghi.

Seeing the stalemate in the scene, Zola and Casiraghi did not show any anxiety, but smiled knowingly after looking at each other.

They are not afraid of the current situation at all. They believe that as long as Argentina can be controlled in a situation where they cannot attack at will, with the defensive strength of this Italian team, it is not too difficult to maintain the current score until the end. .

After entering the 21st century, Italian football has begun to experience a shortage of reserve personnel, especially in the defenders and goalkeepers that Italy has never lacked in the past. In any case, the foundation of Italian football is still there, and the 2006 World Cup victory has stimulated this point even more. It is still possible to select a group of outstanding players with the strength of the whole country.

In particular, Andreoli, who has always served as the captain of the Italian Olympic team and played for Inter Milan, is known as the "New Bergmi" and has performed extremely steadily. Although he does not play many games in the league, he is in a championship team. After training for so long, his strength is definitely above his peers.

Even for Crespo, it is very difficult to get anything good in front of Andreoli, not to mention that there is such a stable defender as Barzagli to fill in for him.

Although the two full-backs Zaccardo and De La Fiore are not offensive and defensive characters, their defensive ability is good, and they are especially effective against players like Messi and Higuain who are good at technology and breakthroughs. In my experience, Aguero is also under the close marking of the two midfielders, marking the four players in the frontcourt to death. What other offensive routines does Argentina have?

Compared with the relaxed state of mind of Zola and Casiraghi, the expression of Argentina's head coach Francisco Ferraro is much more serious.

He has been sitting on the coach's bench, resting his chin with one hand, looking at the court without blinking, with a preoccupied look.

"Haha, you don't need to watch the game, just look at their coach's expression. Italy is doing well, but Argentina is not doing well."

Seeing this scene shown on TV, Lao Zhao couldn't help being happy.

"How can you judge that Ferraro's performance is not an act? Maybe he has everything under control." He Jin didn't know what happened today, he seemed to like to argue with these three assistant coaches.

"Coach He, what are you doing? Do you want to touch Italy so much? But looking at the current situation, we are more likely to touch Argentina." Old Chen couldn't help saying.

"Yeah yeah."

The three assistant coaches formed a united front and began to attack He Jin together. He Jin smiled: "It seems that you all think that Italy is more likely to win this game?"

The three assistant coaches nodded at the same time, and He Jin smiled again: "Then let's make a bet, shall we? You bet that Italy will win, and I will bet that Argentina will at least draw, that is, we will meet in the quarter-finals." Who will you go to, okay?"

The three assistant coaches looked at each other, and Lao Xiao nodded vigorously: "Okay! We bet! What's the bet?"

"Since you have agreed, let's make a small bet, don't be too hurtful!" He Jin's sinister smile makes people look at him and can't help but want to go up and beat him up: "Dining in the afternoon, Si Hun Four vegetables and one soup, coffee after dinner, just bet on this, drizzle!"

"It's a deal!" Old Zhao reached out and clapped He Jin three times: "Just wait for the bill!"

"Why do I feel a little fooled?" Lao Chen rubbed his chin: "No, we only have the possibility of winning if Italy wins, and if Argentina draws, we will lose. It's a bit unfair."

"It's a pity, I've already clapped three times." He Jin said leisurely, "It's too late to regret it."

"Don't we still have to equalize!" Lao Xiao said fiercely: "I don't believe that Italy is so unsatisfactory!"

****************************************
"Damn it!"

Watching the Argentine players celebrating enthusiastically on TV, the three assistant coaches all jumped up. Just 5 minutes after their bet, Argentina evened the score with a seemingly harmless attack!

Aguerola moved to the side, and under the pincers of the opponent's defenders, he barely kicked a pass. When Abbiati was about to attack and intercept the pass, Barzagli, who was chasing back, jumped up and prepared to clear the siege with a header. , As a result, he collided with Abbiati at once, and the ball was naturally not blocked. Crespo rushed forward to get rid of Andreoli's defense, and easily stabbed the rolling ball into the empty goal!
"You guy, where did you get such good shit luck?" Lao Xiao looked at He Jin who was smiling depressedly, and really couldn't figure out why He Jin was so sure that Argentina would definitely win the score.

The Argentine team, which successfully tied the score, was in full swing. They quickly cut off Italy's ball, and then continued to attack the hinterland of Italy. If it hadn't been affected by that mistake, maybe Argentina could score consecutive goals, making it impossible for Italy to recover.

Under such circumstances, Lao Zhao and the others could only watch helplessly as Argentina launched wave after wave of attacks on Italy, and at the same time prayed in their hearts that Italy could survive this period before launching a counterattack, otherwise their pockets would be ruined. I'm going to be raided by that guy He Jin!
After working with He Jin for such a long time, Lao Zhao and the others knew that in normal times, He Jin was a complete laughing tiger, especially after his wife took control of the financial power after marriage, he would kill others That ruthless, they shudder when they think of this old Zhao.

Although it is only talking about four meat, four vegetables and one soup, the devil knows what kind of meat, what kind of vegetarian, and what kind of soup!

Just as Lao Zhao and the others were nervously watching the game, something excited them happened.

Dela Fiore made a beautiful flying tackle, tackled the ball at Higuain's feet, and then immediately passed the ball straight to Gasbaroni in front of him. This talented winger who was born in the Juventus youth team immediately passed the ball Going forward, the wind rushed towards the Argentine team's half.

breakthrough!breakthrough!Break through again!
In the counterattack, Gasbaroni's speed was brought into full play. After getting rid of two Argentine defenders in a row, he glanced at the penalty area, and then immediately made a pass!

Pacini, who was inserted in the back row, jumped high, and under Burdisso's defense, he still stabilized his center of gravity, and powerfully hit the ball while gliding!

2:1!Italy leads again!

"Yeah! We won!" Jumping up at the same time as the Italian players were the three assistant coaches of the Chinese Olympic team. They were over [-] years old and they jumped up and clapped their hands like young people. I can't laugh or cry.

"Hey, I said, you don't need to do this, do you just want to meet the Argentine team in three days?" He Jin reminded, and the three assistant coaches almost bowed their heads.

"Damn it! Didn't you propose the bet? Now it's our turn to blame!" Old Zhao was the first to notice something was wrong, and immediately stared.

"Ah? That... don't talk about it, watch the game! The game is not over yet, who knows if you will win or I will win!"

He Jin immediately changed the topic, Lao Zhao and the others really couldn't do anything about He Jin, so they could only watch the game with a wry smile, thinking about how to slaughter He Jin for dinner later.

But the result of the final game disappointed them greatly. Argentina, who continued to attack hard, finally found a good opportunity. Messi made consecutive breakthroughs from the side and made a wonderful pass in front of the goal. At the end of the game, the score was equalized again.

In the rest of the time, the two sides who are physically exhausted can only accept this result, just like a fateful encounter, the Italian team still inevitably encountered sharpening in the quarter-finals, and is ready to report for the World Cup. The host team of the enemy, the Chinese team.

He Jin is also sharpening his sword, but the target of his sword is his three assistants...
