Chapter 566 Unexpected things
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!"
The inspiring shouts of the Spanish commentator came from the TV again.
But this time it was different. There were no cheers in the conference room, only loud sighs and slaps on the table.
"Alas!"
"It was still equalized..."
Many people in the conference room were already standing to watch the game. They leaned on the table at the back, held their heads in their hands, and looked at the TV screen speechlessly.
The look of disappointment and frustration was as if their own team was falling behind in the game.
In last year's East Asian Cup, the women's national football team and the Olympic team trained together for a month, and also held social activities. They also developed a deep comradeship with each other.
After the first game of the Olympic Games, they also found out from their head coach that the boys from the Olympic team were watching their game on TV and cheering them on.
Everyone has the mentality of "everyone is prosperous, and everyone suffers from a loss".
Xu Wen shook her head and sighed: "Meili is really powerful, no one can beat him when he explodes..."
Li Qingqing next to her said in a deep voice: "But the Olympic team that can push Meili to this point is also very powerful!"

"Argentina's goal is expected, right? Don't be so excited when watching the game..." Hu Lixin was advising his wife Xie Lan beside him.
Seeing Melli score a goal just now, Xie Lan was so angry that he threw the sofa pillow in his hand and hit the TV screen.
Fortunately, the pillow was soft and did not cause any real damage to the TV hanging on the wall. At most, the pillow fell to the floor and became a little dirty.
If the wife had held a beer can in her hand at that time, maybe not only would they not be able to watch the game now, but they would also have to be busy cleaning the house...
"I just couldn't help it..." Xie Lan also whispered with some fear.
It was only after she threw the pillow that she remembered what she had done.
"We finally took the lead, but ended up being tied. Wouldn't you be angry if it were you?" she asked Hu Lixin.
"It's a bit regretful. I can't even talk about being angry." Hu Lixin shook his head. "You think Argentina can't score a goal. You are looking down on Argentina. After all, they are the favorites to win the gold medal in this Olympics."
Xie Lan stopped talking, just watching the game broadcast on TV with concentration.
Argentina has ended its celebration. They collectively surrounded Melli and ran back to their own half, just like a group of princes and ministers embracing the emperor. It was full of pomp and circumstance.
Xie Lan thought of his son. After scoring a goal, his hair was rubbed like a chicken coop. Compared with this son, there is a huge image gap.
※※※
The equalizer did not allow Melly Banega to fully vent his anger. After the game restarted, he continued to lead Argentina's attacking lineup and launched a fierce attack on the Chinese Olympic team's goal.
The just equalizer also greatly boosted the morale of the Argentine players, and there was no chaos after conceding the ball.
The Chinese Olympic team was so overwhelmed by Argentina that they couldn't attack at all. They could only find a corner, squat with their heads in their hands, and let Argentina's fists fall like raindrops.
But this was not able to completely withstand Argentina's stormy attack.
The goal guarded by Lin Zhiyuan was lost again in the 43rd minute.
Melli dribbled horizontally outside the penalty area, and after shaking off many Chinese Olympic team players, he shot with his left foot at the top of the penalty arc. The football made an arc, bypassed Lin Zhiyuan's fingers, and flew into China again. The goal of the Olympic team!
"Meili scored twice!" He Feng's voice was a little calmer this time, at least he didn't sigh.
Perhaps because of Argentina's previous indiscriminate bombardment, he was somewhat prepared and knew that conceding the ball was inevitable.
When Argentina and Melli are on full fire, it is indeed difficult for the Chinese Olympic team to hold on.
It was expected that Argentina would score, and it was also expected that Argentina would take the lead.
In fact, losing to Argentina was expected...
※※※
Contrary to the excitement after conceding the first goal, Xie Lan was able to face it calmly after the Chinese Olympic team conceded the second goal.
This made Hu Lixin a little uncomfortable, and he kept glancing at his wife secretly, fearing that this was the calm before the storm, and that she might suddenly explode in the next second, and then smash the TV screen with a beer can.
Xie Lan glanced at her husband: "Why are you always looking at me?"
"I'm surprised."
"I'm not a football hooligan. If I lose the ball, I'll vent my anger on other things." Xie Lan sat cross-legged on the sofa, with some regret in his tone, but overall he was calm.
But after hearing what his wife said, Hu Lixin still frowned and his expression did not relax.
"What?" Xie Lan asked again upon seeing this.
"No... I'm just not used to it. You'd better stop being so calm and vent your emotions. As long as you don't smash the TV..." Hu Lixin said, picking up the beer, "Here, let's go."
Xie Lan ignored him and looked at the TV and said: "Of course I am not willing to give in...but what's the use of me yelling here? In fact, I also know that it is already amazing for the Olympic team to stand in front of Argentina. Yes, and our son also scored a goal in the game, it won’t be a loss even if we lose... What else do I have to regret?”
When Hu Lixin heard what his wife said, he felt that she had been hit hard... and quickly advised: "Don't. Football is round. Who knows what will happen in the second half?"
※※※
Xie Lan was not the only one who was hit. In the conference room where the women's football girls watched the game, there was no other sound except the Spanish commentary on the TV.
There were more than twenty people in the room, and no one spoke.
Even the sigh was gone.
When Hu Lai scored first, the room was as lively as a market, and everyone was in such high spirits that they seemed to be in the clouds.
But now, he was beaten back to the mortal world by Merry's two goals.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I found the cold reality right in front of me - you are still your uncle, Argentina is stronger, and it is actually normal for them to lead the Olympic team.
This kind of silence lasted for a while, and then someone sighed: "Actually, the performance is already very good..."
Then someone quickly echoed softly: "Yes, it's already good..."
Playing against Argentina, I was not afraid after the start of the game and even scored the first goal. Although Melli went berserk and scored two goals in a row, it was Melli after all, Melli Banega, the best among today's young players.
So don’t look at the score behind, look at the goals that the Chinese team has scored, and look at the shining points of the Chinese team in this game...
This is what many people think.
Xu Wen secretly glanced at Li Qingqing, who looked at the TV screen expressionlessly, showing nothing unusual.
※※※
When Melly sent the football into the goal for the second time, Shi Wuyin kicked the air hard on the sidelines.
Even if the whole world thinks that Argentina should be ahead of the Chinese team, as the head coach of the Olympic team, he will still feel regretful and unhappy about this result.
Li Zhifei looked up to the sky next to him and sighed: "As expected of Mellie Banega!"
Regarding how to restrict Melli, the coaching staff of the Chinese Olympic team has made great efforts.
Because Melli is a well-known star, his characteristics are no secret to Chinese coaches and can be easily known.
Make targeted tactical arrangements based on his characteristics.
It can be said that in terms of tactical arrangements, Shi Wuyin and the others have done everything they can as coaches.
Just after the game started, the team's successful defensive performance also proved that their tactics were effective.
But in football matches, if you only look at tactics, it is nothing more than talking on paper.
No matter how good the tactics are, if they are to be effective, they must be well executed by players.
It has to be said that in this regard, there is still a big gap between the personal abilities of the Chinese team's players and the world's top teams.
Tactical theory is tactical theory, and players must always discount it when executing it.
And this kind of discount may not be too prominent at first. As the game progresses, when the players defend Melli again and again, a little discount is applied every time. After many times, the accumulated discount has reached a level that cannot be ignored. the point.
In the end, this is the result now.
The Chinese team still failed to guard Melli and allowed him to score two goals.
※※※
Unlike the frustrated Chinese team's coaching bench and bench, the Argentina Olympic team's coaching bench and bench were filled with cheering crowds.
The substitute players of the Argentina Olympic team rushed out of the bench, waved their fists towards the court, and shouted, as if they were demonstrating.
After the Chinese team scored the first goal, it was not only the Argentine players on the court who were angered, but also the players sitting on the bench.
They couldn't wait to let the Chinese know the consequences of breaking Argentina's goal.
This is your crowning moment in this game, and it’s also the last time!
Rosas, the head coach of the Argentine Olympic team, had a smile on his face. He was relieved to see that Melli was in such good condition.
Although I was a little unhappy after losing a goal, this goal inspired a better Melli. That can be considered an acceptable price...
He clapped his hands on the sidelines and shouted to the audience: "Well done, Melly! Well done!"
Melly, who was running back into his own half, had a big smile on his face, and he was obviously very satisfied with his performance.
Cantero, who was beside him, turned back to find Hulay and found that the latter was staring here.
How could he let go of such a good opportunity?
So Cantero spread his hands and shrugged at the other party.
Then he threw his head back and laughed, turned around and ran back with Merry.
Hearing Cantero's laughter, Melly turned to look at him strangely.
Cantero explained with a smile: "Nothing, I said hello to that kid."
"You..." Melly shook his head, losing his temper with his good friend.
He knew that Cantero was fighting for himself, so although he didn't like Cantero's proactive provocation of his opponents, he didn't say anything.
He just looked back at Hu Lai.
In his field of vision, the thin young man had his back turned to him, and his expression could not be seen.
So Melly also looked away, smiled and continued running back.
