World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 233 The First Army of the Lions

The men's football team has advanced to the Olympic semi-finals, and the news spread back to China, and the fans were as lively as Chinese New Year.

In this era, the Olympic Games is the biggest sports event in the hearts of Chinese people.

Men's soccer is the number one sport in the world.

When their own team made a breakthrough in the first sport of the biggest sports event, not only the fans, but even the aunts selling vegetables in the streets and alleys were proud of it.

"Dalian Evening News" published an article that night with the headline: "Thank God, thank God, thank Zeng Shuai!"

".Under the command of Coach Zeng, the 120-minute fierce battle was finally condensed into a 5-minute penalty kick."

"And the final victory, as expected, belongs to China."

"12 years! Three Olympics."

"The brand-new men's football team has just returned to the Olympic finals and eliminated the mighty Italy to reach the semi-finals."

"Coach Zeng is trustworthy as always, and Coach Zeng is also rewriting the history of Chinese football as always."

"When Xu Hebao led Songri Chong A to success, he left a sentence of 'Thank God, Thank God, Thank You'."

"This sentence is put in Chinese football. This 'person' deserves to be Zeng Zheng!"

After the men's football team entered the semi-finals, many unidentified sports fans felt that the men's football team should try their best to win the Olympic gold medal just like the women's football team that had already reached the final.

When the reporters found Zeng Zheng with great interest and wanted to do an exclusive interview, Zeng Zheng, who was leading the team members to swim in the pool, rushed out of the water and pressed his arms against the edge of the pool.

Looking at the expectant reporter with a long gun and cannon in front of him, Zeng Zheng took off his swimming goggles and replied in a bored tone: "Olympic gold medal?"

"You really dare to think!"

"Okay, you guys go back first, I'll do my best."

"Don't keep me from swimming!"

After finishing speaking, Zeng Zheng leaned back and lay down on the water.

Pushing off the wall with both feet, he left the pool with the force of the recoil.

Watching Zeng Zheng leave gracefully, only a group of reporters who were splashed all over were left by the pool looking at each other in blank dismay.

March 9, Sydney.

The scene was still filled with fiery Chinese fans.

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the two Olympic strikers immediately rushed forward after kicking the ball.

After the ball passed through twice, Zhang Ran swung his kick and passed the ball directly to the blank area on the right.

"Wrong message?"

"It's too early?"

"Big pass?"

neither!
Like a flash of white lightning, Sun Jihai stood out from the three green players in the blink of an eye.

As we all know, the biggest advantage of African teams is their bodies.

Quickly surpassing a position from the crowd, this is already the limit of Sun Jihai's running.

Snapped!
Sun Jihai blocked the ball forward with his right foot, and then continued to sprint with strides.

For a while, the Cameroon full-back could only hang behind him, eating the exhaust of Sun Jihai.

After three or four consecutive kicks, Cameroon's bottom line is close at hand.

Sun Jihai immediately raised his right leg without hesitation, and slammed towards the ball.

boom!
Bang!
There were two muffled sounds in a row.

Lauren, who was still hanging behind Sun Jihai just now, rushed forward and blocked Sun Jihai's cross from the bottom line with the outside instep of his right foot.

"Beep!"

Olympic team corner kick.

At the beginning of the game, you can see the speed of the players on both sides.

The fans in the stands also skipped the warm-up and shouted at the top of their voices.

Especially the fans of the Olympic team.

After watching a dull and boring quarter-final, I am eager to see my men's football team spread their wings and fly in the Olympic Games.

"The speed is quite fast!" When Sun Jihai asked the caddy for the ball to take a corner kick, Cameroon's 51-year-old coach Akono and the assistant coaches on the side muttered. "Let the lads pay attention."

"The speed is really fucking fast!" The corners of Li Huajun's mouth twitched, "Is this a random big old black with such a good body?"

Sun Jihai made a forward gesture, and then quickly kicked the corner kick.

In the penalty area, three Cameroonian defenders jumped high.

Their same big bald heads were shining brightly under the sunlight, and the reflected sunlight just flashed to the top players of the National Olympic Games.

Boom!
The first point of the ball was hit by the Cameroonian.

Seeing the ball flying towards the outside of the penalty area, the 16-year-old goalkeeper Kameni quickly opened his arms and slapped forward continuously: "Run, run!"

Directing the players to rush out of the penalty area after a corner kick is one of the many slogans that the goalkeeper shouts on the field.

This is just the beginning, and the Cameroon players are full of energy.

Without Kameni yelling, a group of people rushed out of the penalty area with a whoosh.

On the penalty area line, Zhang Ran headed the ball to Zhang Xiaorui on the other side.

Zhang Xiaorui, who was almost as dark as his opponent, stomped on the ball, took the time for others to stop the ball to briefly observe the opponent's running position, and then made a decisive fried ball and kicked the ball to the arch of his left foot.

While avoiding Gremi, there was a swing shot on the left heel.

The ball rushed out with a whoosh, and flew to the lower left corner of the goal against the turf.

Bang!
In front of the goal line, Kameni fell sideways and blocked the ball out of the baseline with the palm of his right hand.

"It's another Olympic corner kick!" Huang Jianxiang said excitedly.

Taking advantage of Shen Si running to the other side to kick a corner kick, Huang Jianxiang quickly returned to the defense through the broadcast, and once again described the scene of Zhang Xiaorui hitting the goal for the fans.

"Zhang Xiaorui smashed the ball beautifully."

"The shot is also very decisive, the angle is also very tricky, and the strength is also full."

"It's a pity that Cameroon goalkeeper Kameni concentrated and quickly blocked the ball out of the baseline."

"If this goal is scored, it will be a dream start for the National Olympics."

"Let's look at the corner kick on the other side of the Olympic team."

"Ahead again."

"Still pushed out by Cameroon players"

"Li Tie!"

"Don't let go of the second point!"

Outside the penalty area, Li Tie, who is as strong as a cow, rushed to the second place of the ball after fighting his opponent for the first place.

The 26-year-old overage player Mimbo did not expect to fight so fiercely after the opening of the Olympic Games.

Accidentally, Li Tie, who was rushed over, "ridden" on top of his head, and the ball returned to the Olympic team again.

This time, Zhang Xiaorui, who got the ball, did not choose to move forward.

He controlled the ball first, and then passed it back to Zhang Ran behind him.

Before the ball reached Zhang Ran's feet, Zhang Xiaorui stretched out his arm and pointed at Shensi who had just returned from the corner.

Zhang Ran understood, and kicked the ball without stopping.

As expected of the vice-captain of Jianlibao.

Although the distance between him and Shensi was more than 20 meters, Zhang Ran did not choose to hit the high ball over the top, but directly hit the ground ball with the back of his instep.

The ball "CHUA" slipped away from the feet of two Cameroon defenders.

When they turned around, Shensi on the left line had already caught the ball with the arch of her left foot.

After a small step forward, he quickly catches up with the ball and kicks a cross.

The National Olympic players who had just run back from the offside line turned back again and rushed to the opponent's penalty area.

Under the stares of the two line judges, no one was offside.

In order to perfect such details, Zeng Zheng started from the selection of players and trained all the way to the present.

Seeing this, countless wealthy scouts at the scene nodded silently.

Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.

From the point of view of the Olympic players earning the top this time, whether it is Shensi who is passing the ball, or the forwards and defenders who are earning the top, the professionalism of football has crossed the European pass line.

Although the basic professionalism has passed, it does not mean that an advantage can be created.

In the National Olympic team, the high striker Zhang Yuying was absent, and the main force to earn the top spot fell on General Fan and Li Wei.

However, the Cameroonians have long been prepared.

As long as Fan and Li break into the penalty area, there will be a team member next to him to defend himself.

This time, the Olympic cross still did not make real progress.

Kameni took the opportunity to abandon the goal and took the ball off with both hands.

At this time, the camera was also aimed at the youngest player in this Olympic Games.

When seeing his mature and experienced face, everyone couldn't help but complain: "Is this fucking 8 years old?"

In the opening 3 minutes, Guoao shot a wave of shots inside the goal frame, won two corner kicks, and tried two crosses.

Facing such a fierce offensive of the National Olympics, the young Kameni's ability to read the game obviously needs to be strengthened.

After looking at the gap, Kameni quickly threw the ball in his arms.

"Forcing up!!!"

Following Zeng Zheng's shout, Sun Jihai was already behind him as soon as Lauren stepped on the ball from the wing.

The 23-year-old Lauren Etame is the same age as Sun Jihai and has just transferred from Mallorca to Arsenal this season.

Like Lauren, Sun Jihai, who has just been promoted from League One, also has not played a game in the Premier League because of the Olympics.

But now, the two have met once in the Olympic Games before they played against each other in the Premier League.

At Mallorca, Lauren played as a winger.

Therefore, in this Olympic Games, Lauren is also playing the position of full-back.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Wenger fell in love with Lauren was to train him as a full-back.

But watching Lauren's horrible ball protection on the screen, Wenger finally shook his head.

Poor Lauren.

He never dreamed that his debut at Arsenal was postponed for a month just because of this wing protection!

In front of the sideline, Lauren bent over, pouted her buttocks, and kept her hands behind her back, protecting the ball tightly.

Sun Jihai pressed Lauren's back with one hand, and grabbed his shoulder with the other, kicking and kicking, constantly reaching for the ball.

Faced with the opponent's continuous scrambling, Lauren couldn't even raise his head, let alone distribute the ball to his teammates.

At this time, two Cameroon players had run to his side and shouted loudly.

But looking at the situation on the field, even if Lauren heard it, she couldn't see the specific position of her teammates at all.

Seeing this, Abanda, who played for Sparta Prague, turned a corner and ran towards Lauren.

Seeing a touch of green in front of him, Lauren, who was about to lose his hold, was like a drowning man grabbing a floating plank, and without thinking about it, he pushed a straight ball at his teammate.

But in the next second, Lauren regretted it herself.

Qu Bo, who had been following Abanda, accelerated suddenly, stretched out a kick from the side behind Abanda, and stabbed the ball out.

Facing the incoming ball, Zhang Xiaorui stretched out his left foot forward to meet it.

After the opponent rushed to the side, he stood firm and let the ball roll in front of him.While blocking the opponent with his back, he retracted his left foot and turned around, successfully throwing off the personal defender behind him.

Zhang Xiaorui's fake turn around fully demonstrated the true qualities of Benfica's star.

After he turned around, he not only stood out from the dense defense zone with the ball, but also shot through it.

Also a double touch player.

This time, Zhang Xiaorui, who dribbled the ball from the side, chose to cut inside and pass.

Whoosh!
The ball went over the heads of the three Cameroon players and flew right to the back post.

General Fan and Li Weifeng both jumped up, but neither hit the ball.

Seeing that the bouncing ball was about to go out of bounds, at this moment, Li Jinyu rushed over, kicked the ball in front of him, and kicked the ball into the gate of Cameroon with the spikes on the sole of his feet.

"The ball has been scored!!!" Huang Jianxiang shouted immediately.

At the same time, the Chinese coaching staff and Olympic fans in the stands also raised their arms immediately and cheered loudly.

"Li Jinyu scored a goal."

"At the 5th minute of the game"

"Eh???"

"Wait a moment."

"The referee raised the flag."

"Is this ball an offside?" Huang Jianxiang's voice was full of reluctance.

"Oh oh!"

"It's offside."

"Li Jinyu was offside first, and the goal was invalid."

After seeing the referee's penalty, even if he was reluctant, Huang Jianxiang could only relay the referee's final penalty to the fans.

"Fuck, you're offside? How can this be offside?"

"Referee, have you seen clearly?"

"This is obviously a goal, a goal!!!"

Zeng Zheng yelled and ran to the fourth official, protesting loudly with teeth and claws.

"Referee, you can't do this!"

"That's a goal!"

"You can't just blow our goal away like this!"

Faced with Zeng Zheng's yelling, the lineman from Da Laomei remained unmoved.

It wasn't until Li Huajun and Li Hui both arrived, and each of them pulled Zeng Zheng back to the Chinese coach's bench with one arm.

"Coach Zeng, pass, pass." Li Huajun persuaded.

"Coach Zeng, don't get excited, Dayu seems to be really offside." Li Hui also stroked Zeng Zheng's back.

"Boss Zeng, drink some water to calm down." Han Tao unscrewed a bottle of mineral water in good time and handed it to Zeng Zheng.

Taking the water bottle, Zeng Zheng raised his head and took a sip.

When he swallowed the water in his mouth, his face returned to its usual calmness.

Going to the fourth official and yelling at it is pretty much every coach's lesson.

Just now Li Jinyu's ball was indeed offside first, and Zeng Zheng could see it clearly than anyone else.

But this did not prevent him from going to the fourth official to protest.

Unlike the last game against Italy, Zeng Zheng really didn't have much confidence in this game against Cameroon.

The style of football in Cameroon and Italy is completely different.

Zeng Zheng can draw with Italy by sticking to it;
But if you use the same turtle shell tactics against Cameroon, it won't be long before your own defense line will be torn to pieces by the African lions!
If you can't defend, you can only rely on offense.

However, the National Olympic team is not strong enough, and now it is short of soldiers and short generals. Normally, it will not end well in a normal confrontation with Cameroon.

So Zeng Zheng's tactic for the team is to start the game with an unrestricted rush!

Don't care about defense, don't care about physical fitness.

Press high up front and create set-pieces.

If you can pass it, you can pass it, if you can shoot it, you can shoot it.

If it is said that the National Olympics showed the world its own defensive ability in the last game, then in this game, Zeng Zheng wanted to show fans all over the world the offensive ability of the National Olympics.

As long as you can catch your opponent by surprise in the opening game, and then get lucky and score one or two goals.

It is not impossible to win the African Lion.

But how can football scores be so good?
Don't say that the ball was offside by Li Jinyu.

Even if there is no offside, the goal may be blown away due to the referee's misjudgment.

So for Zeng Zheng, he also has to fulfill the responsibility of a head coach on the sidelines.

Whenever there is any questionable penalty, Zeng Zheng will immediately rush to the sidelines to find the linesman and the fourth official to protest and appeal.

The stronger the coaching staff is, the referees will not take it lightly.

In Zeng Zheng's words, maybe next time he scores an offside goal, it will count as a goal! ?
