Chapter 558 Witness history together
Although Kane Roger was furious and asked the entire Nigerian team to continue attacking the Chinese Olympic team's goal in an attempt to win the game.
But when the Nigerian team rallied and attacked the Olympic team, they were already facing an iron-clad Olympic team.
Hulay's goal greatly boosted the team's morale. Facing Nigeria's rapid offensive, every player on the Olympic team showed their tenacity.
As the game time went by, the Nigerian players, who had been unable to score any more goals, became increasingly impatient. In the end, the African team's tactical discipline was finally gone.
After getting the ball, every player only thinks about himself. If he has a chance to shoot, he will definitely shoot it, regardless of whether his position is good or not.
In this way, it will make it easier for the Chinese Olympic team to defend.
After all, Nigeria does not have the kind of superstar who can single-handedly change the outcome of a game. Once they all fight alone and cannot form a connection, they will be like that...
The players of the Olympic team use strict tactical discipline to teach them how to behave.

"Four minutes of injury time! The score is still 2:2, keep it!"
He Feng said nervously in the commentary box.
The Olympic team was only four minutes away from scoring its first point in Olympic history, and he was inevitably a little nervous.
After all, there are many precedents in the history of Chinese football for such last-minute collapses.
All kinds of black X minutes have almost become a tradition in Chinese football.
Shi Wuyin couldn't stop thinking that his original plan could defeat Nigeria, and had already strengthened his defense through substitutions and adjustments.
Now he is standing on the sidelines, staring at his team's half.
Hu Lai, who was replaced in the 80th minute, and his teammates on the bench also stood side by side on the sidelines, waiting for the end of the game.
The expressions on every player's face were solemn and anxious. No one dared to smile in advance for fear of losing their character.
Not only them, but countless people in front of the TV were feeling nervous for them.
In their eyes, the short four minutes of injury time seemed as long as four centuries...
Finally, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, He Feng was the first to shout impatiently: "The game is over! The game is over!! The boys of the Chinese Olympic team tenaciously tied the Nigeria Olympic team, and they won the The first point, the first draw, and the first goal for the Olympic team in the history of the Olympics!”
The Chinese Olympic team players on the sidelines swarmed onto the court, rushing to hug their teammates and celebrate the draw with the vigor of celebrating victory.
Perhaps for some people, they will wonder what is there to celebrate in a draw? I have never seen the world!
They were right, the Olympic team has really never seen the world before, and this draw only came after twelve years.

"Okay, the game is over. Let's go back to the room and rest early!" Head coach Yan Encai stood up and said loudly.
Everyone left the conference room in twos and threes and walked to their own rooms while chatting about the game that had just ended.
"The Olympic team actually tied with Nigeria...what a surprise!"
"Yes, you can imagine how lively it will be in China now..."
“It’s midnight in China now!”
"Oh, yes... I forgot about it. I guess the domestic Internet will be abuzz early in the morning."
……
Xu Wen and Li Qingqing walked back to their room together, chatting together.
"It's a pity that we couldn't win against Nigeria." Li Qingqing frowned.
Xu Wen was shocked when she heard what Li Qingqing said: "Qingqing, do you hear what you are saying is human language? It would be great to draw with Nigeria. Didn't you see how happy the players of the Olympic team were after the game? It’s like winning a ball..."
"Of course, it's not easy to draw with your opponent. But if you want to qualify in the group, you have to win against Nigeria. Otherwise, why are we still fighting against Belgium and Argentina?" Li Qingqing asked.
Xu Wen's eyes widened: "Qualifying the group? Qingqing, are you serious? The Olympic team is in the group of death!"
Li Qingqing remembered that Hu Lai had only told him that the goal of qualifying for the group stage, and that no one else knew about it, so he smiled and shook his head: "It would be a pity to go back after playing three group matches..."
< br>
"Hey, they didn't even have a chance to play three group matches before. Let me tell you, Qingqing, with such a game, the Olympic team will not come to the Olympics in vain. They have already left their name in the Olympics. It's up, it's best not to have too many expectations for the remaining two games, so as not to be disappointed..." Xu Wen talked eloquently.
Li Qingqing walked beside her, keeping a smile on his face.

"Great!" Xie Lan raised his arms and cheered, then took out his mobile phone.
Hu Lixin glanced at her: "What are you doing? Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Why should I sleep? Look what everyone said after the game!" Xie Lan said happily. After every Hu Lai game, she would go online to find out how talented netizens praised their Hu Lai. This has become a fixed post-game ritual for her, and it is as satisfying a way as watching her son play.
"Stop staying up, won't you go to work tomorrow?"
"You've asked for leave. You won't go all day tomorrow. You'll catch up on your sleep at home!"
"Then eat..."
"Order takeout! And Lao Hu, I'm so excited right now. Even if you let me sleep, I won't be able to sleep."
Hu Lixin thought about it and felt that what his wife said made sense. In fact, he was also very excited...
Today, his son has engraved his name in the Olympic history of Chinese football.
The ups and downs we encountered in the past few years are nothing!
Hu Lixin got up and went to the kitchen to get two cans of beer.
Xie Lan looked at him with wide eyes: "What are you doing?"
"It's better to sleep when you're drunk." Hu Lixin opened a can and handed it to his wife, then opened another one and said, "Drink with me."
Xie Lan took the can and smiled: "Are you happy?"
This time, her husband didn’t feel awkward with her anymore. He simply admitted: “Yes, I’m glad.”
"Hey! Cheers!" Xie Lan raised his beer.
"Cheers."
The two cans of beer collided and some liquid spilled out.
Late at night, on the land of China, there are still many people, like Xie Lan and Hu Lixin, who are too excited to sleep and are discussing and talking enthusiastically with others on the Internet and in food stall bars. How wonderful was the ball that Hu Lai passed to Chen Xingyi, how bad was the ball that Chen Xingyi missed to Hu Lai, how stable Wang Guangwei was in defense, and how awesome the performance of the entire Olympic team was... …
For many Chinese fans, this is destined to be a sleepless night.
There are also people who have to go to bed in a hurry because they have to go to work and school tomorrow, but they lie in bed and turn off the lights. As soon as they close their eyes, the two goals of the Chinese team will appear in front of their eyes, and the commentator He Feng will ring in their ears. Cheers:
"... Audience friends, I am very happy and honored to witness history with you at this moment..."

While everyone was happy and satisfied with the Chinese team's draw with Nigeria, on the bus back to the hotel from the stadium, head coach Shi Wuyin was mobilizing the players who had just boarded the bus for the remaining two games:
"A draw with Nigeria without losing the game is a very good result. But for us who want to qualify in this group, it is not enough. The next two games will only be more difficult than today's game. , because our opponents are more powerful, and we will have no secrets from them! Your performance today will definitely be noticed by them, and it should be impossible to hope that our opponents will despise us, so you must be clear. , how difficult the challenges we have to face next are.”
Having said this, Shi Wuyuan paused for a moment and glanced over the faces of the Olympic team players in the car.
I didn't see any fear on anyone's face.
He then continued: "But I have confidence in you because of your performance in this game. In fact, our opponents did not underestimate us in this game, but we still tied them. What does this mean? What does it mean? We are capable of facing each other head-on! So I think the biggest gain for us from this game is that we are not that weak, right?”
"Yes!!"
All the players in the car answered Shi Wuyin with the loudest voices.
"Very good, go back tonight and have a good sleep. When you get up tomorrow, pretend that this game does not exist. We didn't get this point. Let's start from the beginning!"
The bus drove the players out of the stadium and toward their hotel.
On the side of the road, there were some Chinese fans who had just left the game. They were still wearing Chinese flags. After seeing the Chinese team bus, they stopped and waved their arms.
The players of the Olympic team waved back through the car windows.
Almost everyone felt great satisfaction.
I am proud that they can wear the Chinese team's jersey and compete in this foreign country. (End of chapter)
