Fox in the Penalty Area

The Olympic team's corner kick attack did not result in a goal. Although Zhang Qinghuan's kick was grabbed by Zhou Zijing, his header went over the crossbar.

Argentina fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Melly waved to goalkeeper Penalva from the front, signaling him to take the goal kick quickly.

Because at this time, the Chinese team's defenders are running back from the frontcourt, and their defense has not yet been formed.

If a goal kick can be taken quickly, wouldn't it be possible to sneak attack?

Penalva saw that Melli was beckoning for the ball, so he didn't dare to neglect. He hurriedly placed the football and kicked it forward with his big foot.

When the Chinese team got a corner kick, defensive midfielders like Ning Yong rushed to the opponent's goal to compete for the header. However, Ou Yangjin, a 1.86-meter-tall defensive midfielder, stayed in the backcourt and competed with the team. Right back Feng Li played as a temporary central defender.

Ouyang Jin is very happy now when he sees Argentina's backcourt looking for Melli with a big kick - big brother, your high center forward Novaretti is still behind and hasn't come up yet, so just look for Melli with a big kick...

Do you think my corner kick didn’t go up because I wasn’t good at heading the ball?

When the football is at Melli's feet, it is difficult for Ou Yangjin to grab it, but this does not mean that when the ball is above Melli's head, there is nothing he can do.

Seeing Melli rushing over with the football, Ou Yangjin, who had been a little depressed before, regained his fighting spirit. He jumped up quietly, and then pushed the flying football back over Melli like a mountain.

Melli also tried to jump for the top, but his header was too high and there was no way to threaten Ou Yangjin.

After Ou Yangjin finally experienced the pleasure of "Master Meili", he rekindled his fighting spirit against Meili.

The football was pushed back by Ou Yangjin and flew back to Argentina's half.

Xia Xiaoyu appeared at the football landing point and once again controlled the second landing point.

Argentine midfielder Luciano Ferrero, who was counterattacking, was closest to Xia Xiaoyu. He took advantage of the situation and came up to defend Xia Xiaoyu.

Facing Ferrero's defense, Xia Xiaoyu circled in circles again.

After turning around,

Successfully blocked Ferrero behind him and faced the direction of attack again.

But just when he was about to pass the ball, he was pushed to the ground from behind by Ferrero!

"Ferrero fouled!"

Amid the boos, commentator He Feng shouted loudly.

The referee also decisively blew the whistle and suspended the game.

The Argentinian commentator praised Ferrero's performance: "Ferrero is very smart. He fouled close to the center circle and basically would not be shown a yellow card. However, he stopped the Chinese team's attack and made the Chinese team active during this period. The continuous offensive pressed the pause button and interrupted their rhythm... It was a very cost-effective way to give the team a breathing space with a tactical foul!"

On China's side, although the offense failed, Yan Kang was still full of praise for the Chinese team's performance: "During this period, we suppressed Argentina and forced the opponent to stop it through fouls... I'm a little bit sad, He Feng, Now the Olympic team is beating Argentina! Hey!"

Yan Kang expressed the mood of many Chinese fans at this moment.

Indeed, from the moment they equalized the score, the Chinese Olympic team had the upper hand. They had unified thinking and simple and efficient tactics. On the other hand, the Argentine Olympic team is confused and relies mainly on the personal abilities of a few star players such as Melli and Cantero.

During this period, it was difficult to even pass halftime.

If this isn't the Chinese team playing against Argentina, what is it?

This scene saw many Chinese fans burst into tears.

This scene really made them dare not even think about it before, but now they saw it with their own eyes!

※※※

Leonardo Palladini, the head coach of the Argentine Olympic team, finally made an adjustment - facing the aggressive Chinese team, although he was unwilling to do so, he still made the decision to shrink the defense.

So judging from the scene, Argentina is even more passive.

This will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among Argentine fans, but Paladini knows that face is nothing compared to the result of the game.

Now we should let the team stabilize its position first, otherwise it may be directly overwhelmed by the Chinese team and lose another goal...

As Argentina's head coach, he also knows very well that what they are facing now is not the Chinese Olympic team four years ago.

This is a team that can tie with the European Youth Championship champions and eliminate the European Youth Championship runners-up.

In a sense, this Chinese Olympic team is stronger than the Japanese Olympic team that Argentina met in the quarter-finals.

Because their staffing is very reasonable - their defense may be slightly worse, but their offense is definitely at the national team level.

As for the offensive firepower of the Chinese national team... Paladini, the Argentine head coach who has carefully studied his opponents, also knows it very well.

Even if you don't study it carefully, you should know how many goals Hulay scored in La Liga and the Champions League last season.

※※※

Melly was a little dissatisfied with the head coach's choice to recycle the defensive arrangement, but he just suppressed this emotion in his heart and did not express it directly.

He also actively cooperated and followed back to defend.

As the captain of the Argentina Olympic team, he still knows his responsibilities as a captain and there are some things that cannot be done arbitrarily.

After Argentina retreated to defend, the Chinese team's offense did not look as scary as before.

Or perhaps this is because the head coach of the Olympic team, Mai Zhaocheng, discovered that Argentina was no longer panicked and adjusted accordingly. Instead of letting the team continue to attack aggressively like before, they slowed down the pace and played steadily.

After all, Argentina has players like Melli and Cantero who are fast and can counterattack with the ball. If they ignore the space behind them and continue to besiege the Argentine goal, they are likely to be succeeded by a counterattack by the opponent.

By then all the good situation will be ruined, and the situation will be unfavorable to the Chinese team.

Mai Zhaocheng didn’t believe that he could equalize the score immediately after conceding the ball...

The game scene finally gradually returned to normal.

Argentina can also play evenly with the Chinese team, you come and I go.

"Alas! What a pity!"

Xie Lan suddenly sighed.

"What's a pity?" Hu Lixin asked.

"I couldn't score another goal while they were panicking..." Xie Lan pointed at the TV and shook his head, "Argentina's reaction was quite quick."

"It's normal. After all, it's Argentina, not Fiji. How can it be so easy to score?" Hu Lixin comforted her. "And it cannot be said that we have not gained anything. Although we did not score any more goals during this period of offensive, the players of the Olympic team must have gained confidence and realized that as long as they perform normally, they can arm-wrestle with Argentina... This It will affect their state of play in the next game. For example, when facing extreme pressure from Argentina, they will not panic because they believe that there will definitely still be a chance..."

Xie Lan felt that what her husband said made sense, so she suppressed her impatience and continued to watch the game.

※※※

Melli once again tried to drive Argentina's attack with the ball.

Ou Yangjin pressed firmly this time while making various small movements with his hands. For example, he used his right hand to grab Melly's shoulder, pulled it and then released it, indicating that he had no unnecessary movements. But his left hand used the cover of his body to keep pulling Melli's jersey underneath.

This made it a little difficult for Merry to speed up.

It's like the feeling of having to hit the brakes as soon as you speed up while driving.

If Merry had someone else on his back, he might get carsick...

After Ou Yangjin pulled Meili several times, making Meili unable to move quickly, Xia Xiaoyu rushed over and guarded Meili with Ou Yangjin.

Then when Meili focused more on dealing with Xia Xiaoyu, he saw the right moment, bumped into him decisively, and then stabbed him with his foot!

This time he finally succeeded in knocking the football out from under Merry's feet!

And... no foul!

At least the referee didn't blow the whistle!

The football stabbed by Ou Yangjin fell right at Xia Xiaoyu's feet, and he quickly moved the football away.

Ou Yangjin himself jumped up from the ground, raised his arms and shouted:

Hold! I did it! !

I cut off Merry's ball!

Ou Yangjin was cheering, but Meili seemed very excited. He raised his hand to the referee to complain about Ou Yangjin's pulling just now.

The referee said nothing about this.

Not to mention that he didn't see it, it's debatable whether Ou Yangjin's little move must be called a foul.

After all, South American players make a lot of small moves. If this standard is followed, the number of fouls committed by Argentine players in this game may be more...

Moreover, physical contact is not prohibited in football. Pulling the jersey and the body is very common in game confrontations.

As long as it's not particularly egregious, the referee will basically turn a blind eye.

The referee turned around and ran forward following the Chinese team's pass without even looking back.

Melly was helpless and could only follow back to defend.

But while returning to defense, he did not forget to look back at the midfielder of the Chinese Olympic team.

The other party was still shaking his fist there.

It seems that he is very proud of being able to defend himself?

※※※

After the Chinese team's offensive pushed forward, Hu Lai finally headed the ball in front of the penalty area and shot, but the ball was held by the Argentine Olympic team's goalkeeper Penalva.

It was Argentina's turn to attack, and the football was quickly passed to Melli's feet.

This time when Ou Yangjin came forward with confidence, before he could make another small move, he was passed by Meili cleanly...

Then he shook off Ning Yong, another midfielder of the Chinese Olympic team, and took a shot.

Lin Zhiyuan chose his position and took the football that was shot into his arms.

Both sides ended up with an attack and defense.

Melly raised his head slightly and sighed. Behind him, Ou Yangjin, who had just gotten up from the ground, shook his fist in annoyance.

Damn, I still got passed over!

Melly naturally noticed Ou Yangjin's actions, but he was not at all happy that he had overcome him.

Because even if he passed the opponent, he still failed to score...
