There is a dream called football

bird's nest.

The press conference before the final was held here.

Just like the Asian Cup four years ago, the Chinese team miraculously reached the finals, especially the semi-finals with Nigeria, which they fought hard for 120 minutes and finally won on penalty kicks. Everything was just like the Asian Cup four years ago, except this time the opponent

Stronger, replaced by Argentina.

Unlike his previous life, Messi did not participate in the Olympic Games this time, and Argentina was led by Angel Di Maria.

Therefore, the strength of this Argentina team has declined to a certain extent compared to its previous life, especially in terms of offense.

Before the game, the Argentine coach was asked this question, about preparations, because although Argentina reached the final, it seemed that Argentina did not have much dominance, which meant that Argentina stumbled into the final.

The head coach was very candid about this.

"This is not a FIFA competition. Even if the clubs in Argentina can refuse my transfer of players, what else can I do?"

hehe.

The reporters burst into laughter, but the Argentine coach got back to business.

"I think it's better to look at the final result. As long as the result is good, I don't think it's necessary to care about the process. All we have to do is bring the golden gold medal back to Argentina, and that's enough."

When it was the Chinese team's turn, the reporters focused entirely on Li Qiao.

"Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney both performed mediocrely in the European Cup. I wonder if your opportunity has come. Many people predict that as long as the Chinese team wins the Olympic championship, you will be this year's Mr. Golden Ball."

Li Qiao chuckled.

"That was at the end of the year. I think it's too early to talk about the Ballon d'Or. Of course, if I win the Ballon d'Or, I will be very happy."

"About the final?"

"What kind of opponent is Argentina? I think all China knows that Argentine football has a very strong influence in China. There is no doubt about this, so the process of the game should be very difficult. If I were to give a ratio,

, then our probability of winning is less than 20%."

"We will hope to delay the game as long as possible. If we can enter the penalty shootout, then we can say that we have an advantage. This is our goal."

"Did you say that if you score a goal, you will mourn the victims of the earthquake?"

Li Qiao nodded, "Yes, if I score a goal, I will not celebrate. I and the whole team will dedicate this goal to the victims."

*****

The final was held at 12 noon, which can be said to be the worst time of the day. The capital is very hot in August, and the Bird's Nest has no roof, so just imagine that, in this case,

Let alone a football match, even standing outdoors is not an easy task.

But football players have no choice. The game is played under such circumstances anyway.

After the start, the pace of both sides was very slow. Even the fans at the scene were a little wilted. It was indeed too hot.

This kind of dull game is a bit inconsistent with the Olympic finals level confrontation. In this case, the first half was basically lackluster, and the fans also felt a little regretful. You must know that many people bought scalper tickets to watch it.

As for football, is it possible to watch such an old man’s football?

After the start of the second half, both sides sped up the pace a little bit, especially Argentina. They came with a mission, which was to win gold medals in basketball and football. As a big country in ball sports, Argentina is very competitive in the three major sports of the Olympic Games.

.

Soon, Argentina played a fast break. After the ball reached the wing, it quickly passed back to the arc of the penalty area. The Chinese team's defensive attention was all in the penalty area, so people were missed in front of the penalty area. In this case, in front of the penalty area

Mascherano's kick exploded.

This kind of explosive shot actually depends on the accuracy. As long as it hits the goal frame, there is basically nothing the goalkeeper can do. Sure enough, the ball hit the goal frame, but someone blocked the ball in front of the goal.

, he is Zheng Zhi.

This attack also ignited the atmosphere of the audience. The fans seemed to be a little more enthusiastic because the game seemed to be getting better.

Even the fans at the scene were in the mood to play Mexican waves. In fact, the temperature was higher at this time, but because they had adapted, the players were actually better and could take a breather.

Then the Chinese team also played a wonderful attack. This time the Chinese team shot was Zheng Zhi, and what he completed was an imaginative lob.

Zheng Zhi saw the Argentinian goalkeeper standing forward in the area 40 meters away from the goal, so he had a sudden idea and lobbed the ball. This kind of ball depends on luck. If it goes in, it is a fairy ball. If it doesn't, it is normal.

of.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhi's lob shot was very accurate, and the ball went towards the goal.

Goalkeeper Romero was startled. He quickly retreated. Fortunately, he was 1.92 meters tall and finally managed to get the ball out in front of the goal.

"Wow, this is the Chinese team's best chance so far. It almost scored."

"Zheng Zhi's game is so imaginative."

"It is indeed, and the removal of the feet is also done very well."

"It seems that the Chinese team is just a little bit away from scoring a goal."

"make persistent efforts."

But persistent efforts did not appear, and then both sides entered a dull period. Neither team was able to create any good opportunities. The viciousness of the Suns seemed to have greatly affected the players' condition.

All this happened until the game reached the 109th minute of overtime, when Li Qiao, who had been silent throughout the game, suddenly ran with the ball in the midfield.

Liu Jianhong was excited.

Duan Xuan was also excited.

"Is it possible that Li Qiao wants to score goals in Maradona's way?"

Li Qiao passed Garay and he could face Romero directly. At this time, Mascherano, who was returning to defense from Argentina, fouled.

The referee decisively pointed to the spot.

"Penalty kick."

On the one hand, the fans in the audience cheered, but on the other hand, they were worried, because when it comes to penalty kicks, it does not depend on who has a higher level, but who has a more stable mentality, or who has better luck.

Under tremendous pressure, Li Qiao stepped to the penalty spot. At this time, it seemed that only Li Qiao could stand here.

"Will this be the decisive victory for the Chinese team?"

The referee blew the whistle, and Li Qiao started to run. There was no roaring tsunami in his ears, and his whole body was highly concentrated. He just wanted to score the ball.

A push shot to the middle and the ball went in.

Li Qiao completed the winning goal. He did not celebrate, but raised his hands to the sky with his teammates. In the end, Argentina did not come back in the remaining time. With Li Qiao's goal, the Chinese team defeated Argentina and won the Olympic Games.

gold medal.
