God of Greenery

The Hua Guo team's celebration lasted for more than half a minute before being interfered by the referee under the protest of the Italian team. After the celebration ended, they returned to their own half and waited for the Italian to kick the ball in the middle.

The Italians naturally have reason to protest the Hua Guo team's celebration time is too long, because they are now behind.

After the game restarted, the anxious Italians could no longer sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and shrink their formation to play defensive counterattacks.

They launched an offensive as soon as the ball kicked off. Not only the midfielders, but also the midfielders and full backs all pressed forward, trying to use the overall offensive to score goals.

After all, it was already 85 minutes when Jiang Xiaolin scored the penalty kick.

In addition, the Hua Guo players celebrated for a long time.

By the time the Italian opened the middle circle, the time had actually reached 86 minutes.

With stoppage time, it is absolutely impossible to exceed 10 minutes.

Failure to score the equalizer in 90 minutes of regular time would see title favorites Italy stunned by an Asian team in the first round of the Olympic knockout round.

This is a result that is impossible for all Italians to accept.

Therefore, they must aggressively attack and try to score goals and equalize the score before the end of regular playing time.

But in fact, how can it be so easy to score a goal in a football match?

Even with Jiang Xiaolin's ability to cheat the system, he couldn't do this.

There's a reason football games often end up 0-0, and that's because scoring goals is so difficult.

Specific to the current situation on the court, the Huaguo team immediately retreated after scoring a goal, and resolutely played a shrinking defense.

Not only the two forwards, but even the striker Han Peng retreated to the front of his side's penalty area to help defend the ball in the air. Only Jiang Xiaolin, who was the most threatening counterattack, remained in the frontcourt to deter the opponent's defense.

In fact, Jiang Xiaolin switched positions with Han Peng again, and Jiang Xiaolin became the lone striker again.

Of course, Han Peng is not a full-time defensive player, and asking him to return to the backcourt to help defend is not very effective, and sometimes it will interfere with the cooperation and movement of his own players.

Therefore, within 2 minutes after the game restarted, when the ball went out of the sideline and became a dead ball, the head coach of the Hua Guo Olympic team, Yin Tieshen, made a substitution adjustment, and the defensive midfielder Zhao Xuri played for a short time. Han Peng changed again.

If it was a normal league game and he came on as a substitute, but was replaced before the game was over, Han Peng might turn his face on the spot and fight with the coach.

But things are different now.

This is a game related to the future of Huaguo football, and it is the most critical last few minutes.

Therefore, Han Peng, who was about to be replaced soon after being replaced by the substitute, was not angry, but was using his experience to delay time.

The three overage players of the Olympic team are Han Peng, Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng.

The experienced Han Peng naturally knew what to do at this time.

As he walked slowly to the sidelines, he kept waving to the surroundings and greeting the fans.

The fans also understood his intentions, kept applauding, shouting his name, interacting with him, and delaying time together.

The Italians naturally didn't want to see this scene. Montolivo, who was closest to Han Peng, shouted at Han Peng in Italian: "Can you hurry down?"

Han Peng naturally didn't understand, but it didn't prevent him from making use of the topic. He immediately stopped and turned to look at Montolivo, and asked with an innocent expression that he couldn't understand what the other party said: "What did you say?"

Montolivo was about to die of anger. He pointed at Han Peng and complained to the referee: "He deliberately delayed the time!"

The referee naturally saw Han Peng's intention to delay time, but he didn't need to be the villain when the Italian didn't bring it up.

After all, this Olympic Games is hosted by Chinese people, and this bit of face can still be given to the host.

But now that Montolivo has brought it up, it is not easy for the referee to pretend not to know.

He said to Han Peng with a serious face: "Please get off the field quickly and complete the substitution. Don't deliberately delay the time, otherwise I will directly send you off with a red card."

Han Peng, who had been dragging on for a while, naturally didn't talk back to the referee. If he was sent off by the referee and Zhao Xuri couldn't play, he would become a sinner of the Huaguo team.

Therefore, Han Peng spread his hands, turned around and walked off the field, and quickened his pace a little, making a show.

But he was still walking, not running, just walking a little faster than usual.

The Italian players wished they could rush up and kick Han Peng*, kicking him off.The Italian fans and neutral fans in the stands also booed, cursing and contemptuous of his deliberately delaying the time.

But to no avail.

Han Peng continued to stick to his rhythm, walked slowly to the sidelines, and finally even waved to the stands, and then greeted the fans, and then met Zhao Xuri, who was standing next to the fourth official, waiting to play After a hug and high five, the substitution was finally completed.

After Zhao Xuri came on the field, the formation of the Huaguo team actually became a 4321 Christmas tree formation, that is, four defenders, three midfielders, two avant-gardes, and one forward.

Except for Jiang Xiaolin who stayed near the center circle to wait for an opportunity to counterattack, the other defenders, defensive midfielders, and forwards all returned to their own big penalty area and guarded the area within 30 meters of the goal.

Seeing that the Hua Guo team had completed the substitution, the Italian hurriedly took the time to throw the ball out of bounds, ready to continue attacking.

A mere substitution almost caused the Italians to go berserk, which shows how anxious they are.

Don't worry!

As time goes by, time is running out for the Italians.

However, although Italy is good at defense.But as the world's top team and just won the 2006 World Cup, the Italians' offensive strength is also very strong.

Otherwise, it is impossible to win the World Cup just by defending and not scoring goals.

Therefore, the Italian team, which is pressing across the board, can still create some good offensive opportunities.

However, with the Hua Guo team shrinking defense across the board and the overall on-the-spot status was 100%, even if Italy aggressively attacked, they still couldn't score goals.

In the 89th minute, Italy managed to pass the ball into the area within 30 meters of the front of the penalty area. The midfielder Rossi made a wonderful pass and passed the ball to the striker Aquafresca who was facing away from the goal on the line of the penalty area.

Aquafresca's personal skills are still good. While carrying Hua Guo team defender Feng Xiaoting close to the defense, through the change of the rhythm of smashing the ball back and forth, he actually completed a turn and got rid of it. Finished kicker on goal.

It's a pity that when the Hua Guo team's overall on-the-spot status is 100%, the other players' supplementary defenses are very timely.

When Aquafresca kept smashing the ball and tried to get rid of Feng Xiaoting to complete the turn, another central defender Li Weifeng had a premonition that he might turn around and shoot, so he immediately defended from the side.

The moment Aquafresca took a shot, Li Weifeng, who rushed from the side, made a flying tackle, even blocking the opponent's shot.

Aquafresca kicked the ball vigorously and hit Li Weifeng's shoes. It bounced high and flew out of the penalty area. Then Zheng Zhi grabbed the first point in the competition between the two players and reached the midfielder. Wai.

Italy's good offensive opportunity came back in vain.

Of course, the ball that was cleared to the midfield was not caught by Jiang Xiaolin, and it was impossible to form a counterattack.

Jiang Xiaolin is still too weak alone.

The Italian, who regained possession of the ball, continued to organize the offense.

Soon, the game time came to the 90th minute, the regular game time ended, and the fourth official raised the sign for 4 minutes of stoppage time.

This stoppage time immediately booed the fans from both sides in the stands.

Of course, the Chinese fans booed that the stoppage time was too long, and the Italian fans booed that the stoppage time was too short.

In fact, the referee did not favor any side, and this stoppage time was still within a reasonable range.

With the stoppage time card raised by the fourth official, everyone in Italy knew that there was less and less time left for them.

If they can't tie the score before the end of the game and drag it into overtime, they will really be eliminated by an Asian team in the quarter-finals as the favorites to win the championship.

This makes Italian players absolutely unacceptable.

The increasingly irritable Italian team's offensive rhythm is getting faster and faster, but under the defense of the Huaguo team's overall full state, the threat is getting smaller and smaller.

In the 91st minute, Giovinco, the Italian midfielder who saw that his teammates were unable to break into the penalty area of ​​the Huaguo team, lost the patience to continue passing the ball after receiving a pass from Montolivo. A long shot was fired from more than 20 meters away.

This long shot really hit the goal frame, but it was a pity that there was no strength at all, and the angle was not tricky. The goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong was easily hugged in his arms, and he didn't even give the opponent a chance to make a follow-up shot.

This is a long-range shot without any threat.

Except that the data of "number of shots" and "number of shots on goal" can be added when counting Italian offensive data after the game, it has no effect.

Subsequently, the Italians tried to attack from the side, relying on the stronger body of the Europeans to fight for the top in the middle.

In the 93rd minute, full-back Motta put in an assist, completed a two-for-one cooperation with midfielder Rossi, and then made a breakthrough on the wing and made a cross from the bottom.

The ball drew a weak arc in the air and fell near the penalty area in the penalty area.

In fact, this is a good-quality cross from the side. If it is topped by an Italian player, I am afraid it may really form a threatening header.

Unfortunately, as the time until the end of the game became shorter and shorter, Jiang Xiaolin also completely gave up the idea of ​​counterattack and withdrew to the penalty area to help defend.

But this time Italy made a wide cross and was cleared by Jiang Xiaolin.

His excellent off-the-ball running and grabbing ability allowed him to judge the ball's landing position sharply at the first time, and seized the first point at the fastest speed, and then firmly held the ball with full-value bounce and header. He controlled the first landing point, pushed the ball out of the penalty area to clear the siege, and won applause from the Huaguo fans in the stands.

Italy's flank attack again failed.

There were only 4 minutes of stoppage time. As time went by, the referee was already looking at his watch frequently, and many Italian fans in the stands covered their eyes and began to cry.

They have realized that Italy's defeat is irreversible.

Italy, the World Cup champion, couldn't even make it past the first knockout round at the Olympics, and was about to be eliminated by a Chinese team from the Asian football desert.

The Huaguo fans in the stands all stood up, one by one with their shoulders hooked, jumping and shouting, waiting for the referee's whistle to end the game, so that they could immediately throw themselves into wild celebrations.

The Italian players on the field naturally saw the referee frequently looking at his watch, knowing that time was running out.

Perhaps, the referee will blow the whistle for the end of the game in the next second.

Therefore, the anxious Italian team no longer organized the offense patiently, but played a wide open and close long pass to rush away.

De Qieli, who took the ball on the right wing of the front field, did not pass the ball slowly to organize the attack, but after taking a look at the Hua Guo team's big penalty area, he kicked the ball out with a big kick and passed the ball with a long air pass To the big restricted area of ​​the Hua Guo team.

He didn't pass the ball well, and he didn't fly into the penalty area, but landed at the top of the penalty area.

However, it is precisely because of this that the Italian was given the last chance to shoot.

Because there are too many people in the penalty area of ​​the Hua Guo team, including Jiang Xiaolin, it is too difficult for the Italians to compete for a header in the penalty area.

It happened that De Cheli didn't pass the ball well, and it landed in front of the midfielder Montolivo at the top of the arc in the penalty area.

However, there are also players from the Huaguo team around Montolivo who are marking him closely, and Montolivo has no time to stop the ball and adjust.

I am also afraid that after the ball is stopped, the referee blows the whistle to end the game.

Therefore, Montolivo, who was eager to seize the last chance, did not stop the ball, directly resisted the collision of the Hua Guo players around him, raised his leg sideways and volleyed.

In fact, the quality of this volley was not bad, it didn't kick, and it didn't fly, it actually hit within the range of the door frame.

But there are too many people in the restricted area.

Montolivo's volley didn't work out.

The moment he volleyed, Zhao Xuri, who was in the penalty area in front of him, turned around and jumped up to block the hole of the gun, just blocking Montolivo's powerful shot with his back.

The ball hit Zhao Xuri's back, bounced back into the gap outside the penalty area, and landed about 27-[-] meters away from the goal.

Cui Peng, the nearest Hua Guo team player, and Italian central defender Criscito rushed towards the ball at the same time, ready to grab the ball.

However, at this moment, the referee, who was standing not far away with his whistle in his mouth, looked at his watch, raised both hands, and firmly blew the whistle to end the game.

In the 2008 Beiping Olympic men's football quarter-final match against the Italian Olympic team, the Hua Guo Olympic team relied on Jiang Xiaolin's long pass to assist Wang Yongbai's goal in the 45th minute of the first half after conceding a goal first. Qiuhe personally created and scored a penalty kick in the 85th minute of the second half to defeat Italy 2-1 and advance to the semi-finals of the Olympic men's football team, breaking the biggest upset of the Olympic men's football team.
