God of Greenery

Chapter 167: 2 Degrees

This year's Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese National Olympic Team directly entered the Olympic Games with the benefit of the host. This is the second time that the National Olympic Team has entered the Olympic finals after the Seoul Olympic Games.

Under the eyes of the people of the whole country, the Olympic team must gain something.

Not only fans, but also ordinary people all over the country will watch and pay attention to the Olympic Games at our doorstep this time.

Achievement results will naturally add glory, fame and fortune. If they go to the street again, I am afraid that they will be scolded worse than when the adult national team lost the World Cup in 02.

In order to gamble heavily on the Olympics, the Hua National Football Committee cut the league into several sections, and the adult national team didn't care too much. They almost pinned all their hopes on the Olympic team and shouted the slogan that the Olympic team should enter the Olympic semi-finals.

It is inconvenient for the players to speak nonsense about the decisions made by the higher-level football committee, but they play football, they know their own strength, and they know that the goal of the football committee is impossible to achieve.

Since last year's Toulon Cup, the Hua Guo Olympic team has a record of 2 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses in various competitions. Among them, they have lost 8 consecutive games against European teams.

As far as the strength of the Hua Guo Olympic team is concerned, not to mention entering the semi-finals, it may be difficult to even qualify for the group stage. It is hard to say whether they can break through the embarrassing history of going to the Seoul Olympics without scoring a goal in three games.

Of course, now that Jiang Xiaolin has joined, everyone still has confidence in breaking through the history of the Seoul Olympics and scoring a goal or a victory.

But whether they can qualify for the group stage and pursue higher goals, everyone has no confidence.

Even so, it has already made everyone very excited.

Don't think about the unrealistic goal of the Football Committee's semi-finals, as long as they can score goals, win in the Olympics, and break through history, it is enough to make the players full of motivation.

After celebrating excitedly for more than half a minute, everyone returned to their own half and waited for the opponent to open the ball.

The game restarted, and the Olympic team seemed to have stepped out of the haze of facing the European teams in the previous 8 games, playing more organized and more confident.

Especially in the frontcourt offense, Jiang Xiaolin's physical fitness, speed, running position, grabbing points, dribbling, passing, etc., are obviously much better than his teammates and opponents.

Coupled with his full team cooperation, he deliberately lowered his own strength to cooperate with his teammates, making the Olympic team's offense much smoother and sharper.

In the 28th minute, when Jiang Xiaolin took the ball in the frontcourt and was marked dead by the opponent's two defenders, he accurately sent the ball to the feet of Zhao Xuri, who was running in behind.

Zhao Xuri dribbled the ball forward for about 10 meters, and was intercepted by the opponent's defender near the line of the penalty area.

The winger Hao Junmin, who cut in and ran from the side, rushed the ball to the lower corner of the near end before the defender of the selection team in the penalty area made a clearance.

However, the goalkeeper himself stood at the near end, and he also predicted Hao Junmin's shot route choice. A timely side attack saved Hao Junmin's shot to the near corner from the bottom line, allowing Hao Junmin, other Olympic players, and Hua on the sidelines. Chinese audience reporters were quite disappointed.

However, although the ball was saved by the goalkeeper, it was the biggest threat other than Jiang Xiaolin in this game.

This is relatively rare to see in the previous games against European teams.

No matter whether Jiang Xiaolin scored a goal or made a threat, everyone expected it, because Jiang Xiaolin has this strength, and if he didn't score a goal or make a threat, it would be disappointing.

However, as a domestic player, Hao Junmin played such an attack and shot, which made Dujkovic, Yin Tieshen and other coaches on the sidelines suddenly shine.

Dujkovic turned his head and said to Yin Tieshen next to him: "The quality of this attack is very good. Although it didn't score, whether it's Zhao Xuri's late assist or Hao Junmin's last shot, they are all very threatening."

Yin Tieshen nodded and said: "Yes, the quality of this attack is very high, it's rare to see it! However, I think the most important thing is that Jiang Xiaolin's holding the ball attracted the defense of the opponent's two defenders, and the ball was accurate. It was Zhao Xuri who assisted Hao Junmin after being sent to Zhao Xuri's feet. Therefore, it can be said that this attack was initiated by Jiang Xiaolin, and Jiang Xiaolin took on the role of the attacking midfielder in this attack."

Dujkovic nodded and said: "Yes! Jiang Xiaolin's integration into the team is beyond my imagination. Not only can he score goals by himself, but he doesn't stick to the ball. He can even organize offenses according to different situations and improve the team's offensive ability. It's not easy. Congratulations, Huaguo has given birth to a super talent. Moreover, at such a young age, Huaguo's football strength will usher in a period of rapid improvement in the next ten years or so."

Yin Tieshen smiled and said, "Thank you, and congratulations to you too. With Jiang Xiaolin under his command, it is estimated that the results of this Olympic Games will not be bad."

Dujkovic nodded and continued watching the game.

On the court, Hao Junmin who failed to score was indeed a little discouraged, but Jiang Xiaolin walked up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Hao, don't be discouraged, it's still early, and there are still opportunities."

Hao Junmin smiled and said: "It's okay, just depressed, if you hit the far corner, you may enter!"

Then, the two entered the penalty area, ready to compete for a header, and Lu Lin took a corner kick.

Lu Lin's height is less than 170, and he really doesn't have the conditions to compete for a header in the penalty area, so he can only take a corner kick.

However, Lu Lin didn't make a good penalty this time. He was not high enough. The players from the selected team pushed out of the penalty area and failed to land on Jiang Xiaolin's head.

Jiang Xiaolin's header has yet to find a place to use it.

Next, the two sides created some threats to each other. The situation of the game was different from that at the beginning of the game. The Olympic team has been able to play offensively and defensively with the Belgrade regional selection team.

And because of Jiang Xiaolin's existence, the Olympic team's offensive quality is much higher than that of the selected team.

Although the regional selection team is stronger in personal strength and physical fitness than the Olympic team, it is indeed a motley crew formed temporarily, and the tacit cooperation is indeed much worse than that of the Olympic team.

Coupled with Jiang Xiaolin's sorting out, the Olympic team's offense achieved results at the end of the first half.

However, this time it was Jiang Xiaolin's goal, and the other players were still lacking in finishing.

In the 43rd minute, the Olympic team cut off the offense of the selection team and played a quick counterattack. Jiang Xiaolin held the ball in the frontcourt to attract the defense of the opponent's two defenders and split the side. The winger Wang Xiaolong received the ball and made a pass from the bottom. Jiang Xiaolin Kobayashi rushed into the penalty area to grab the first point by virtue of his keen ability to grab points and quick moves. He leaped high and scored with a powerful header, smashing the ball to the back of the goal.

The goalkeeper reflexively made a save, but Jiang Xiaolin's header was powerful, fast, and tricky. There was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only watch the ball rubbing against the post and flying into the goal from a distance.

Jiang Xiaolin's header finally played a role, allowing him to score twice and give the Olympic team a 2-0 lead.
