Fox in the Penalty Area

"...In the second half, we will launch the fiercest attack on their goal from the beginning!"

When Melly heard his head coach Palladini say this through gritted teeth, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally... finally the head coach made the right choice.

He was really afraid of hearing Paladini tell them to play steadily after the start of the second half and let the Chinese team attack first...

Otherwise, he really couldn't guarantee that he would not be able to help but compete with Paladini.

But if he really did that, the damage to the team would be extremely huge. After all, the captain and the head coach had an argument during the halftime break. It was not a trivial matter that everyone would automatically forget in fifteen minutes.

Melly didn't want to do it unless he had to.

But if Paladini really makes that decision, Melly can't guarantee whether he can still accept it unconditionally.

There are some changes that Melly himself has not noticed. Since being promoted to the core of the tactics by the club coach Roy Wei last season, his desire for control has become stronger and stronger.

In order to be able to compete with Hulay for the Golden Boot in the league, he will very directly express his unwillingness to take a rest to the head coach Roy Wei, and will not accept the practice of taking him out of the game squad.

Facing Royvi, the famous coach of the Madrid Kings, Melly can still maintain some respect.

But for the Olympic team coach Leonardo Palladini, who only coached in China and had no very notable achievements in his life, Melly may not have that much respect.

Fortunately, Palladini made the right choice, which invisibly appeased Melli's anger and resolved a possible conflict in the locker room...

※※※

After fifteen minutes of intermission, the game resumed.

Neither side made any substitutions.

The Chinese team is leading the score, so of course there is no need to make substitutions first.

Argentina also has the strongest lineup.

At the beginning of the second half, Argentina swept away the decline in the first half and launched a fierce attack on the Olympic team's goal.

The ones who serve as the team's offensive arrows are naturally Melli and Cantero.

The two of them surrounded high center Rodrigo Novaretti, and through Novaretti's screen, they frequently crossed and changed positions, making the Chinese Olympic team's defense more difficult.

This is also the request of head coach Paladini.

Attack directly from the side instead of moving from the side to the center.

In this way, the two defensive midfielders deployed by the Chinese Olympic team in the middle have lost most of their role.

It is precisely because of this adjustment that the Argentina Olympic team's offense became more threatening than in the first half.

The Chinese Olympic team often has to run exhausted when defending.

Meili and Cantero have more space for movement and frequently change positions, making it easy for the Chinese team to make mistakes when defending.

※※※

"Cantero switched to the left wing, and he made a fake move to get rid of the Olympic team's right back Feng Li! He broke into the penalty area! Danger!"

Accompanied by the exclamations of the commentators He Feng and Yan Kang, Cantero broke into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese Olympic team from the left wing. Feng Li turned around awkwardly behind him, staggering, and it was too late to return to defense.

Cantero tried to take a shot, but passed the football to the middle!

And he didn't pass it to center Novaretti, but to behind Novaretti.

When Noiretti got to the front and entangled the Chinese team's center back captain Cai Shuyi, Melli came up from behind.

He bypassed Noiretti and Cai Shuyi and chased after Guan Shipeng, another central defender of the Olympic team who was guarding him, but was blocked by Noiretti and Cai Shuyi... By the time he avoided the obstacle, he was already there. Lost the target!

"Merry!!"

Meili, who shook off Guan Shipeng, swung his left leg towards the rolling football.

Ou Yangjin rushed forward, trying to get the football out before Melli. Although in fact, it is more likely that he scored an own goal... Ou Yangjin did not hesitate at all, even if he scored an own goal, he would not hesitate, as long as it was not Meli's goal!

It's a pity that Ou Yangjin tackled so decisively but failed to stop Melli.

Because Merry moves faster than him!

He got ahead of Ou Yangjin and rubbed the football with the inside of his left foot!

After he kicked the football away, Ou Yangjin's foot scooped...

Lin Zhiyuan only discovered Melli when he came around from behind Noiretti and Cai Shuyi, and he had already made a quick save. He guessed that under such circumstances, Melli could only shoot the football to the near corner!

So he pounced towards the near corner without hesitation!

But who would have thought that when he soared into the air, he discovered that the inside of Melli's left foot had lifted the football to... the far corner behind him!

It turned out to be a very difficult kick from an angle of reflection!

Lin Zhiyuan's eyes widened and he turned to watch the football flying towards the back post. He was completely powerless...

The football hit the inside of the far post and eventually bounced into the net!

"Ouch!!" He Feng sighed.

The Argentine commentator roared with excitement: "Melli!! Melli!!! Melli!!! Ah! Melli!!"

He was so excited that he could only repeat Merry's name, as if calling a hero.

It's true that the Argentina Olympic team really needs a hero to step forward and help the team equalize the score.

And Merry is the best candidate for this heroic role.

When Argentina encountered difficulties, countless Argentine fans turned their attention to him, hoping that he could turn the tide.

Melly did not disappoint his supporters!

After scoring the goal, Melly ran excitedly towards the corner flag area, but was pulled to the ground by the even more excited Cantero halfway, and then turned over and pressed on him.

More Argentinian Olympic team players also ran over and made arhats to celebrate.

"Still didn't stop it... In the 57th minute, Argentina equalized the score." He Feng finally recovered from the disappointment of losing the ball just now and sighed. "At the beginning of the second half, Argentina's offensive was very fierce. But the most important thing is Melli's outstanding performance... I don't know if it's my imagination, but I feel that every time Melli meets Hulay, he is particularly energetic..."

Yan Kang smiled bitterly: "It's not an illusion, He Feng. Meili was holding back his energy to defeat Hu Lai. After all, he played four games with Hu Lai last season and lost three. Especially when he was double-killed in the league, I still remember that time After the first 'Madrid Derby', was there a debate on the Internet about which one was better between Hulay and Melly? I think it was this debate that made Melly always grudge about defeating Hulay. Yu Huai..."

He Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It is really Hu Lai's honor to be regarded as an opponent that Meili must defeat..."

There was something else he didn't say:

It's also a misfortune to be targeted by Melly so persistently!

If Melly is compared to a beast, then how much pressure must he endure to be targeted by such a beast and continue to be targeted?

There really can't be any slack at all.

Otherwise, you may be devoured by wild beasts.

Just like last season's Champions League semi-finals.

Melli lost two games in a row in the league and also lost the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals away from home.

Including the Olympic game that year, Meili and Hu Lai did not win a single match.

So everyone thought that Melli would be Hulay's loser in this Champions League semi-final, and Hulay's fans were ready to ridicule Melli with full force on the Internet.

As a result, many people have forgotten that Melly is actually a beast, and Hu Lai awakened the beast in him.

After Hu Lai was eliminated from the competition, He Feng had something he kept buried in his heart and never said out loud, because he was afraid that if he said it, it would cause controversy on the Internet, putting both himself and Hu Lai in a whirlpool.

That sentence is: In fact, Hu Lai lost well.

It is better to lose at that moment than to win all the time and then lose in some more crucial game later.

He felt that Hu Lai also needed a defeat to help him regain his anchor.

From the hat trick against Catalonia United in the last round of La Liga away to Catalonia, to a series of performances in this Olympics, He Feng believed that he was right.

After losing the Champions League semi-final, Hulay improved significantly faster and became more mature.

Just like the kick he passed to Zhou Zijing in this game.

Hu Lai is still the forward with superb scoring ability, but he is not just a forward who can only score.

He Feng believes that Hu Lai will become stronger and stronger in the future, assume greater responsibilities, and bring us greater surprises.

And all of this will be accompanied by the confrontation between him and Melly.

Being targeted by Melly, Hu Lai's career may not be too easy, but it will not make people worry about his lack of success...

※※※

After finishing celebrating with his teammates, Melli was ready to return to his own half.

After running two steps, he turned around and punched three times at the Argentinian fans in the stands.

Three loud and short roars rang out over the Sequoia Sports Park court in response to Melli's three punches.

In fact, in the past, Melli would not celebrate goals in this way after scoring a goal.

He only started doing this last season.

The change in celebration illustrates a change in his state of mind.

The "young eagle" has grown up and he wants to be the king of this sky!
