Green Dragon

Chapter 387 East Asian Civil War
8 month 4 day.

"Drip, drip, drip!"

The referee Geiger from the United States blew the whistle to end the game.

Japanese player Takashi Usami let out a breath, his half-length hair covering his eyes.

He and his team finally failed to make further progress in the Olympics, and the quarterfinals were already their limit.

"I'm sorry, Usami-kun."

He felt a warm and powerful big hand patted his shoulder, and then a familiar German sound came into his ears.

That was his former teammate at Bayern Munich.

When they were teammates, this teammate was so strong, so strong that Takashi Usami on the bench was extremely at ease.

But when he became Usami Takashi's opponent, the Japanese teenager felt more deeply that this strength is enough to make all opponents despair!
Now he is desperate, and his Japanese teammates are all desperate!
-
"The game is over! The Japanese team's furious attack at the last moment not only failed to bring them a goal, but instead allowed the Chinese team to seize the opportunity to fight back again!"

Liu Jianhong had already torn off the tie and buttons of his shirt, and his chest was flushed red in the midday wind in London.

The guest Nangong Lei who was commenting with his partner was equally excited:

"The 4-1 score allowed the Chinese team to advance to the semi-finals. The Chinese Olympic team now has a chance to hit a medal. If it comes true, the Chinese delegation will make a historic breakthrough in the Olympic football event!"
-
Long Shute breathed a sigh of relief.

This Japanese Olympic team does not have the strongest lineup, and players of the right age like Kagawa Shinji did not participate, and the only players who can be named by themselves are Yoshida Maya and Usami Takashi-the latter is because he has done it before. Teammates for a season.

As for the other players, they are all playing in the J-League. In terms of personal ability, they may not be much better than Zhang Linpeng and Wang Dalei. Qualifications for Japan's senior team.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Long Shute completed a hat-trick. After all...the gap between the comprehensive ratings of him and the opponent's defender is at least 30 points...

This is the real bullying of elementary school students! -
Entering the semi-finals allowed him to fulfill his promise to the leaders of the General Administration. As for whether he can enter the finals, I am afraid that even if Director Liu came in person, he could not force him.

After all, they couldn't even "help" the Olympic team win a single victory in 2008 when they were close to home. Now in the capital of the British Empire, they can only do their best and obey the destiny.

What's more... According to the rules of the match, their opponent may be the host. How can the Chinese team, a country of etiquette, compete with the host?
But before he finished breathing, the results of the other games were passed on.

Brazil beat Honduras 3-2.

Mexico swept Egypt 5-0.

As for the host, the British Empire, the birthplace of modern football, in the 90 minutes of regular time and 30 minutes of overtime, they had a 1-1 draw with the birthplace of the universe, Great Cold Kingdom... and in the next point Eliminated by the latter in the ball game...

The loss of the British team is undoubtedly more unpopular than the Spanish team's elimination. Not only were hundreds of thousands of British local spectators extremely disappointed, but they also exploded the complaint calls of the Olympic Committee's ticketing center!
Because at least more than [-] fans have already booked the tickets for the final one month in advance—they all thought that their team would be able to enter the final due to the right time, place and people...

But they miscalculated. Although the Three Lions avoided the danger of being eliminated by the Chinese team in the group stage by virtue of the tacit ball, they encountered the Tai Chi Tiger. After all, the three lions still failed to defeat the eleven tigers.

Therefore, the semi-final opponent of the Chinese team is not the British team, but the South Korean team.

The Chinese team doesn't have to think about saving face for the host!
-
Compared with the Japanese team, the South Korean team obviously attaches great importance to the Olympics, and the team they send can represent the strongest level in the country.

Ki Sung-yong, Kim Young-gwon, Koo Ja-cheol, and Ji Dong-won are the main players of the senior team, and their overall ability is a level higher than that of Japan.

In addition, South Korean law stipulates that anyone who wins an Olympic medal (the top three) can be exempted from the obligation to serve in the military for two years. This rule is simply the most powerful stimulant for them!

Two years of military service does not seem to be a long time, but for a professional player, leaving the game at their golden age is simply killing them!

This not only means that there will be almost no economic income for two years, but it will also have an incalculable impact on their competitive state. If they can get an exemption, even if they are allowed to play against the main team of world champion Spain, they will absolutely It will give the Matador Legion a headache!

Ah, I'm sorry, Spain, who played half of the main force, was swept out in the group stage...

Throughout the world of football, the discipline and fighting spirit of the South Korean team are extremely admirable. Even though they had a scandal in the 2002 World Cup, it is undeniable that the willpower and fighting spirit of these players are the most powerful players in the world. What is lacking-especially for the Chinese team, which shouted loudly before the game, but was impetuous and had weak legs as soon as they arrived on the field.

Fortunately, Long Shute has helped the Chinese team get rid of the hat of "Koreaphobia". Although his teammates will inevitably feel nervous, at least they will not collapse psychologically.

And his task...is to resolve the battle before his teammates collapse!

One minute after the start of the game, Long Shute completed this task. His strong shot from the front of the penalty area was blocked by the opponent's defender and went out of the baseline. The defender was sent off with a red card!
The commentator of the South Korean TV station crazily criticized Clattenburg as "blind dog's eye" and "this is the elimination of the British team three days before taking revenge on the Korean Empire"...

But the Chinese commentator Duan Yixuan couldn't help but let out his most iconic laugh:

"Haha...haha...The South Korean team is in big trouble. They faced the dilemma of one less player from the beginning, and the Chinese team also won a penalty!"

Guest Xu Yang couldn't help laughing too:

"That's right, we have gained a lot of benefits. According to the tactics of the Chinese team in this Olympic Games, as long as we lead by one goal, we can fight counterattacks more easily. At that time, the Chinese team with Long Shute will be able to almost immediately Invincible!"

Before he finished his wonderful analysis, Duan Yixuan's laughter stopped:
"Huh? Long Shute didn't take the penalty kick himself? Faced with such a good opportunity...he actually gave it to...the goalkeeper Wang Dalei?!"

The minds of the two commentators stopped at the same moment. Not only them, but the South Korean team was stunned.

Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong has studied the shooting habits of almost all players in the Chinese team, but he has not considered the two goalkeepers. Now his mind is completely blank.

Just like those spectators, he watched Wang Dalei trot all the way to the front of the restricted area.

"Captain, are you calling me?"

Wang Dalei calmed down a little, and then looked innocent.

He has long heard that this team leader is a high-spirited player in the club. He never kicks the penalty kick created by himself, but lets the defenders and goalkeepers collect statistics. He never thought that it would be his turn now...

"Give me another try..."

Long Shute kicked his ass:
"Do you dare to take the penalty for this ball? If you dare, I will give it to Zhang Linpeng."

"Dare, dare!"

Wang Dalei quickly hugged his arm, with a flattering smile all over his face:

"I, Da Lei, don't know how to write fear by nature. Leave the ball to me. Captain, don't worry!"

Long Shu nodded his head, and said another sentence:
"Don't worry about returning to defense, play well."

Wang Dalei suddenly settled down.

Don't worry about returning to defense?

This means... Of course, it means that Captain Long will personally wipe his ass?

How touching!
-
"Oh!"

Wang Dalei didn't even have any run-up, he directly swung his right leg and slammed it heavily on the football.

Compared with shooting in sports warfare, penalty kicks do not require so much shooting ability, but require a calm mind and a little bit of luck.

His shots did not pursue any absolute dead ends or weird arcs, he just used his strength to the extreme!

Zheng Chenglong was originally a very lucky goalkeeper. He once relied on a 70-meter long pass to cover a goal in a warm-up match, but today, his luck is useless.

He could only watch helplessly as a mass of black and white shadows wiped his open right hand and rushed into the door behind him!

1-0!

Although the game has just started, there is not much time left for the South Korean team!
