Fox in the Penalty Area

"Melli——! The ball went in! Melli scored his first goal in this Olympics!"

"3:0! With fifteen minutes left in the game, the Argentine Olympic team has already led the Korean Olympic team by three goals. There is no suspense about their victory in the first game of the Olympic Games! Melli continued his He is in good form for the club this season, and compared to four years ago, he has become more mature and has better scoring ability!"

"Before the start of the Olympics, Melli accepted an interview with the media. He admitted that he participated in this Olympics as an over-age player just to win the gold medal...With the state he showed in the first game, this Argentina Olympics The team does have a chance to hit the gold medal!”

"For Melli himself, this is his last time participating in the Olympics, and it is also his last chance to win an Olympic championship... I think this may be the main reason why Melli is in excellent condition and has high morale in today's game. !”

Before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was even held, football was already in full swing.

In Group A, the host United States drew 0:0 with Egypt in the first round. Japan and Sweden also tied 0:0.

In Group B, Argentina 3:0 South Korea, Melli had one goal and one assist. In another game, South Africa and Russia also tied 0:0.

There were no goals scored in three of the first four games in the first half of the first round of the group stage.

Next should be the four group matches in the second half.

The Chinese Olympic team is in Group C in the lower half.

According to the competition rules of the Olympic Games, after entering the knockout stage, the two qualifying teams in the top half will compete against each other, and the same is true for the bottom half.

The first in Group A will play against the second in Group B, and the second in Group A will play against the first in Group B.

The first in Group C will play against the second in Group D, and the second in Group C will play against the first in Group D.

After the top four are determined, there will be a cross-match matchup, with the winner of the first place in Group A and the second place in Group B playing against the winner of the first place in Group C and the second place in Group D.

The winner of the second place in Group A and the first place in Group B will play the winner of the second place in Group C and the first place in Group D.

According to this rule, it is really possible for Melly and Hulay to meet in the Olympics.

Of course, the premise is that they all have to qualify from the group stage.

The last Olympic Games,

Argentina did not qualify.

Of course, this time the Argentina Olympic team started much better than four years ago, when they shook hands with the Belgian Olympic team 1:1 in the first round of the group stage.

Now at least three goals are needed to defeat the South Korean team.

All it takes is one more win to qualify early.

The opponent of the Chinese Olympic team in the first round of the group stage is Honduras, the second-tier team in the group. The Chinese Olympic team is ranked in the third tier in this group. The fourth-tier team is Fiji, and Germany is the first-tier team.

Therefore, the result of the match between the Olympic team and Honduras is largely related to whether they can successfully qualify from the group.

If the Olympic team can defeat Honduras and play Fiji in the second game, it should not be a problem. In this way, before playing Germany in the final round of the group stage, the Olympic team will already have six points to qualify in advance. The result of the game with the German team will change. It's not that important.

But if the Olympic team fails to win against Honduras, even if it is a tie, they will have to fight against Germany in the final round.

As the champion of the last U21 European Youth Championship, Germany's strength should not be underestimated.

Li Qingqing and Xu Wen walked into the hotel conference room together. Looking at the teammates who were already seated, Xu Wen said with emotion: "Oh, I really miss it... At the Madrid Olympics four years ago, we collectively watched the Olympic team games like this. . I didn’t expect that it would be four years in a blink of an eye..."

After hearing her emotion, her teammates sitting in the front row turned around and said: "There is still a difference. Last time we played first, this time the Olympic team played first."

"We got off to a good start last time, and I hope the Olympic team can get off to a winning start this time too!"

"It should be no problem, right? Honduras is not strong..." Xu Wen curled her lips.

"Hey, you can't say that. Honduras eliminated Mexico to qualify for the Olympics. The level of the national team cannot be simply linked to the level of the Olympic team."

The teammates in the conference room were discussing the upcoming game enthusiastically.

On the projection screen, the live TV broadcast screen has been cut in.

Players from both sides are waiting in the tunnel to play.

The broadcast camera scanned the players from both sides one by one, and stayed on Hu Lai for a few seconds, giving a large close-up picture.

Apparently the Olympic broadcasters also know who this is and are well aware of his place on this team.

It can even be said that Hu Lai is the most dazzling star in this game.

Not to mention that the opponent is Honduras, even if it is replaced by the German Olympic team, Hulay's weight is still the best.

The commentator on the TV station in the United States was introducing Hu Lai to everyone based on this scene. Li Qingqing's English was barely able to understand some of the words, but it was enough for her to guess what the commentator was talking about.

"...the number one hero of Chinese football...the La Liga Golden Boot...the top scorer in the Champions League...the most threatening person..."

This suddenly reminded Li Qingqing of the frightening number of titles of European and American nobles, and then she changed it in her mind, so what the TV commentator said to her became:

"Ladies and gentlemen, what appears before you now is the number one hero of Chinese football, the Golden Boot of La Liga in the 2027-2028 season, the top scorer in the Champions League in the same season, and the creator of the record of scoring twice in four consecutive Champions League games. , the most threatening person in this game...Hu——Lai!!"

Thinking of this, Li Qingqing was amused by his own imagination.

"Oh, you smile so sweetly!"

It wasn't until Xu Wen's voice came to his ears that Li Qingqing came back to his senses.

She glared at Xu Wen.

"What did you think of, smiling so happily?" Xu Wen asked.

"I'm so happy when I think I can watch Hu Lai's game again!" Facing the shameless Xu Wen, Li Qingqing simply hit the ball straight.

Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Oh, he's so dead!"

The teammates nearby laughed and said, "You asked for it, Wenwen!"

During the fun, Li Qingqing smiled happily.

Not because she successfully teased Xu Wen, but because this time she no longer had to hide and hide from anyone, and could express her support for Hu Lai openly.

If Hu Lai scores a goal, she doesn't have to hide herself among her teammates. No matter how loud she screams, her celebrations are intense.

Don't worry that such an action will arouse surprised looks from teammates around you.

It’s only been four years, so many things have happened in these four years…

※※ ※

Hu Lai withdrew from the system's vision, and the thick white light chain connecting him to his teammates disappeared. His eyes suddenly became clearer and cleaner.

Just now, he used 300,000 points to buy ten [Lingxi Cards], and then used them all for his teammates.

In addition, he also equipped himself with [worn Bear jersey] and [broken Bear shin guards].

There is no [Lover's Red String] because the red string is now always on his wrist and does not need to be exchanged.

This wave cost him a total of 360,000 points.

But Hu Lai doesn't have to worry about not having enough points.

Last season he completed the task of scoring in every league round and earned 1.2 million points. In addition, he also completed the first two steps of the series of goals scored with his left foot, earning a total of 60,000 points.

This has already accumulated 1.26 million points for him.

But this is not the main reason, or the whole reason, that makes Hu Lai "rich".

Last season Hulay won the La Liga Golden Boot and La Liga championship, as well as the Champions League Golden Boot, giving him an additional 1.5 million points.

Hu Lai didn't discover this until the end of the season.

Because the system did not release any tasks for the league and the scorer list before. In a long season, the system only released a few tasks, which made Hu Lai think that the system was hibernating.

As a result, it was not until the end of the season that he discovered that it was not hibernation or a failure to issue tasks, but a change in the way of issuing tasks.

From the previous process of posting tasks, completing tasks, and receiving rewards, it has become that when he completes a certain achievement, the corresponding reward will be issued to him.

Some of these rewards are points, and some are in kind.

In short... there are no more tasks, and Hu Lai doesn't know if he will get any rewards unless he goes through the list in the achievement system and clicks on the picture to find out.

But there is actually no need to do so. As long as he performs normally and completes a certain achievement, he will automatically receive rewards.

As for why the system became like this, Hu Lai guessed that he probably didn't want to "spoiler" it by publishing tasks.

After all, every time he saw a task posted before, Hu Lai felt that it was a sign that he would be able to complete it.

Although there have been failures in the Asian Cup missions, they are very few after all - such a failure in so many missions.

Now rewards are sent based on completing certain achievements, which greatly reduces the risk of being spoiled and also allows Hu Lai to focus more on football itself.

The three achievements of La Liga and the La Liga Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot each brought him 500,000 points, adding up to 1.5 million.

But this does not mean that as long as Hu Lai wins the La Liga championship or gets the La Liga Golden Boot, he will definitely have 500,000 points.

When collecting points, the three achievements of "Winning a La Liga Championship", "Winning a La Liga Golden Boot" and "Winning a Champions League Golden Boot" have been highlighted. At the same time, there are small words below stating "Rewards cannot be obtained repeatedly".

In other words, Hu Lai is not allowed to earn achievements repeatedly.

But that doesn't mean that there will be no benefit at all for him if he wins honors such as the La Liga championship and the La Liga Golden Boot in the future.

There are all kinds of weird achievements in the achievement system, and there is always one suitable for Hu Lai.

For example, "Successfully defended the La Liga championship", "Three consecutive La Liga championships", "Won the La Liga Golden Boot for three consecutive seasons", "Won the La Liga Golden Boot for five consecutive seasons", "The number of La Liga goals reached 100"... and so on. As long as you can complete the achievements, you can still get valuable rewards.

"It's time to play! Come on, come on!!"

Cai Shuyi, captain of the Olympic team, shouted, clapped his hands hard, and followed the referee team forward.

Behind him, other Olympic team players started to catch up.

Hu Lai was among them.

The Honduran players around him stopped staring at him and walked forward together.

The first Olympic game between the two teams is about to begin!
