Reborn on Top of Football

At the same time that the Chinese team defeated Mali and Mexico to qualify together, all the four groups have completed their matches. Paraguay and Italy in Group B were the first and second in the group respectively. Argentina in Group C won all three matches, with Australia qualifying, while Iraq and Costa Rica in Group D joined together to qualify.

Next, the first and second of the AB group and the CD group will fight each other to compete for the top four places. Then, the two winners of the AB group will play in the semi-final with the two winners of the CD group.

China's opponent is Italy.

The team's most famous stars are Pirlo and De Rossi! The other players are also the new generation of main players in Serie A teams such as Rome, Lazio, Parma. In contrast, the Chinese team is all Super League players except for the superstar Wang Ai and Qu Bo and Zong Lei. There is a huge gap in the league, personal strength, vision, competition experience and so on.

The 81 National Olympics has been formed for five years since the National Youth League, but has never played against Italy. This is a completely strange opponent. Among the team, only Wang Ai played the UEFA Cup with Serie A Lazio in the 2002-03 season of Tubingen Youth, played the Champions League with AC Milan in Laco in the 03-04 season, and he also played directly against Pirlo Too. Each of them was deeply impressed, and in an interview after the match, they also spoke well of each other.

For example, Wang Ai said, "He is a midfield master. Although we never met each other for the first time, I like him."

Pirlo also expressed his appreciation for Wang Ai.

But they are still strangers. Unexpectedly, a few months later, the two sides met at the same major Olympic Games.

When the preparatory meeting started, the old Shen deliberately dragged Wang Ai to the conference room. How to formulate tactics, of course, Wang Ai has no right to speak, and he does not understand, but on the familiarity of Italian players, especially the opponent's core Pirlo, he knows better than anyone on the team. After he reviewed in detail the impression of watching and directly feeling that game, especially after the difficulty of the Italian's back line, Lao Shen gave Wang Jianying a look.

"No sense of morale, throw away when you run out!" Wang Ai, who was standing outside the door of the tactical room, looked at Wang Jianying with a smile on his mouth and went back to the house to close the door. Then he suddenly reacted. I thought I was a decision maker. Information officer!

The next day, Lao Shen announced the tactical idea of ​​the game: defensive counterattack!

Yes, we play defensive counter-attacks in front of the opponent who is best at defensive counter-attacks! This is not a stone hit, because we are eggs! The difference in strength between the two sides is too big, from individuals to the whole, from technology to consciousness, as reported by domestic media: "the battle of honor for Chinese football", "the battle of learning for Chinese football", etc., no one thinks China will Defeat Italy, even if Wang Ai can fight with Pirlo, even if there is a fight between Qu Bo and De Rossi. Unless 11 of our team are playing in Serie A.

The confrontation at the national team level, especially when there are not many overseas Chinese football players, is actually equal to the confrontation between Serie A and the Chinese Super League. How can we not be pessimistic?

Old Shen is also pessimistic. He led the team for five years and played against many European teams. The basic players that can be defeated are European second-class teams, such as the Ukrainian youth team, such as the Polish youth team, and the highest-level European teams. I haven't met it, and I don't have that confidence.

So Lao Shen's so-called "defensive counterattack" is under his 361 formation, and its real purpose is to "put a bus"! Put on a hard look, fight for 120 minutes, then bet on a penalty! Fortunately, the 81 Olympic Games is absolutely not weak.

If Italy does n’t call us, we ’ll play meat with you, no matter how you call it, I wo n’t go out! If Italy presses heavily, it will desperately die! What do our 361, six midfielders do? Pulling back is 901! Just ask if you are afraid! You do n’t have to worry about my crowd, you have to worry about my shame!

Of course, Lao Shen had a cautious eye under his neck and rolled his eyes to install the second mule: there are two fast horses and two fast knives in our team! Italy really do n’t want to bet on penalty kicks, if you attack aggressively, hey, be careful, I'll hit you and make you die! I will never forget the rest of my life!

A Chinese coach has made many Italian stars remember for decades ... Old Shen Zhuomo, this is more than a promotion to the semifinals!

In table tennis men's doubles, badminton women's doubles, and women's weightlifting 75 kg, the Chinese team added three gold medals to No. 21, the first quarterfinals of the Olympic men's football in China at 18:00 on August 20 local time The team played three games at Patrai's Papadi Bonjazz stadium. Since the Chinese team is first in the group, they enjoy the "home advantage" and do not have to adapt to the field again.

The Italian team can only come forward.

Before the competition began, Chinese journalists thought about a press release. In any case, the strong Italian team is the second in the group, proactively "challenge" the Chinese team, aunt, beautiful!

This day was also a women's football match. The Chinese women's football team was assigned to compete with the Brazilian women's football team. However, the venue of the match was moved to the Kaleskaki stadium in Athens. At the same time the match time was also moved to 21:00.

The men's and women's football scored in the quarterfinals, especially the men's football, have completed the expectations of their superiors. At this time, each of them faced a strong enemy and had to fight against the water. Whether to laugh or cry after the game, it depends on these 90 minutes.

As the Chinese men ’s football team has an unprecedented “prosperity”, many athletes from the Chinese team who have completed the game on this day came to the stadium. It ’s okay to say cheer up, or to witness history with your own eyes. It ’s also a little curious to see how far the men ’s football can go. Many entertaining stars who like football also came to the arena.

"Looking at men's football" has become a hot topic in the Chinese Olympic team during this time.

Wang Ai, Qu Bo, Zong Lei, and especially Wang Ai's reputation are too great, and their reputation among professional athletes is not weaker than among fans.

"Hello, Andrea." Wang Ai and Pirlo greeted as they warmed up.

"Hi, Dr. Wang." Pirlo smiled elegantly.

The two simply talked, this was just out of respect for their opponents. Don't expect them to save face for each other during the game later. Instead, they have seen each other as their biggest opponents in this match.

With Paraguayan referee Torres's whistle, in Huang Jianxiang's passionate and entangled commentary, the Chinese team in the white jersey and the Italian team in the blue jersey met in a narrow way.
