Chapter 570 Before the last drop of blood is shed
After Meili attracted three Chinese players with the ball, he suddenly gave the ball away instead of shooting!
Passed to Ramon Cantero on the right side of the penalty area!
"Danger!" He Feng exclaimed.
Cantero started to adjust his pace when Melli passed the ball to him. When the football came over, he just adjusted his pace to the point where he could shoot directly, so he shot with his feet!
"I'll do it!!" With a loud shout, Lin Zhiyuan jumped out and threw himself at the back corner.
The football shot by Cantero indeed made an arc and went straight to the back corner!
The football was firmly clamped in the air by Lin Zhiyuan's hands, and then pressed on the turf. Then Lin Zhiyuan fell from the air, quickly curled up, and protected the football inside his body to avoid the possibility of losing his hands.
"Lin Zhiyuan! He made a very beautiful save! He didn't even give Argentina a chance to shoot! Well done!" He Feng and Yan Kang did not hesitate to praise Lin Zhiyuan.
When the team is under siege, what is often looked at is the performance of the goalkeeper. If a goalkeeper can make excellent saves repeatedly, it can greatly boost the team's morale and morale, stabilize the defense, and make the players more confident the more they defend.
From this point of view, Lin Zhiyuan is a goalkeeper who can boost morale.
Lin Zhiyuan, who made a wonderful save, did not get up in a hurry, but lay on the ground for a while longer to kill some time before getting up and kicking the football in front.
He saw Hulay jump up and fight for the top of the opponent's captain Juan Sosa, but failed. Sosa pushed the football back, and Argentina took advantage of the situation to launch another attack.
Lin Zhiyuan felt his heart beating wildly while posing in preparation.
Damn... Hu Lai, you are so awesome, you can get another one if you have the ability! Don't let them attack around us all the time!
※※※
Hulay, who did not win the ball, desperately returned to defense. When Ramon Cantero retreated to catch the ball and then turned around to attack, he grabbed Cantero's clothes with both hands and did not wait until the referee blew the whistle. let go.
This made Cantero very unhappy. He had always disliked Hu Lai, but now that he saw that the other party was so shameless, he became even more angry. He raised his hand and pushed Hu Lai.
Hu Lai, who had never let go before, was pushed back several steps by him. In the end, he failed to maintain his balance and fell to the ground.
Sitting on the ground, he did not forget to turn his head to look at the referee and spread his hands to him. Remind the referee: Look, he pushed me!
"Eh? This ball Cantero is very unfriendly!" He Feng shouted, completely ignoring that it was actually Hu Lai who pulled the other player's jersey first - of course he was helping his relatives but not helping others at this time!
Both sides have their bayonets red. Either you die or I live. How can we talk about neutrality and objectivity?
On the other side, the commentator of the Argentine TV station was yelling at Hulay: "Foul first and then diving! You don't learn well at a young age!"
There were loud boos in the stands of Santa Lucia Stadium, but it was difficult to tell which of the boos were for Cantero who pushed and which were for Hulay who fouled.
Cantero saw Hulay looking at the referee after he fell to the ground. How could he not understand what he was thinking? But after he understood it, it made him even angrier. At that time, he wanted to rush up and argue with Hu Lai - you broke the law and you still want to trick me? !
As a result, he was hugged by Merry: "Calm down, Ramon! He deliberately lured you there! Now we have the advantage, if you are punished, it will be over!"
Cantero calmed down after hearing his good friend's words.
He spat in the direction of Hu Lai: "Insidious!"
After the referee came up, he first gave Hu Lai a yellow card. It was such an obvious deliberate attempt to pull someone away, and not giving him a yellow card would not be enough to convince the crowd.
Then he turned around and gave Cantero another yellow card for pushing someone in retaliation...
Cantero's eyes widened when he saw the yellow card. Merry suddenly felt the pressure on himself suddenly increase. Cantero in his arms was like a husky trying desperately to break free of the reins, which almost made him pull away. live.
"Calm down! Calm down! Ramon! Don't bother the referee!"
Melly felt so tired. He had never felt this way during a game before...
He dragged Cantero with all his strength and set his sights on the culprit.
The boy seemed to regret that he had not been able to successfully challenge him, and was shaking his head and sighing.
Good boy Mellie Banega didn't like this and frowned.
※※※
"That turtle is so bullying! He dared to push our Hu Lai!" Xie Lan rolled up his sleeves in front of the TV, as if he was going to go straight to teach Cantero a lesson.
Hu Lixin looked at his wife who was too involved in the drama and didn't know what to say...
Everyone had turned around, and they only needed to speed up to launch a counterattack. As a result, your son grabbed the jersey with both hands, and the chance of counterattack was just gone. Can he not be angry?
Hu Lixin knew that Hu Lai, as a center, had no defensive ability and could only rely on his enthusiasm. At this time, there was really no other way except fouling. In any case, it can be regarded as helping the Chinese team consume another few minutes of game time.
Cantero was angry that his chance to counterattack was terminated, but Hulay took advantage of the situation and sat on the ground, confirming Cantero's revenge. If Merry hadn't caught Cantero in time, Hu Lixin believed that as long as Cantero dared to touch even a hair on Hu Lai when he went up to trouble Hu Lai, he would cover his face and roll on the ground. He must be fouled. One side's two yellows turn into one red and they go off directly.
After watching his son play football for so many years, Hu Lixin has a deep understanding of his playing style. He bet that Hu Lai would do this.
Who did this kid learn to be so bad about...
※※※
The interlude between Julay and Cantero caused the game time to pass by a few minutes. It stands to reason that even if Argentina draws with the Chinese team in this game, it can still guarantee the group qualifying, but it will lose its status as the group leader. They shouldn't be so impatient.
But what Argentina is pursuing is not just qualifying for a group.
In another stadium, the game kicked off at the same time, Belgium already led Nigeria by one goal.
If everyone ends their respective games with the current score, Belgium will qualify first in the group with two wins and one draw with seven points. Argentina, on the other hand, qualified second in the group with one win, two draws and five points, and then went to the quarter-finals to face the host Spanish Olympic team.
Of course, Argentina could not accept this result, so even though they knew that they would qualify with a draw, they still bombarded the Chinese team's goal and became more and more manic as the game time went by.
After the game was interrupted and then restarted, Argentina's players launched an attack on the Chinese team's goal.
This time, when Cantero got the ball outside the penalty area, he ignored the call for the ball from his teammates who were in a better position, and instead took a long shot of his own.
This long-range shot that vented his anger put all his strength into it, flew high over the crossbar and went straight to the stands behind the goal.
Melli was very dissatisfied with Cantero's shot. No matter how good the relationship between the two was in private, he couldn't help but yell at Cantero: "What are you doing, Ramon?!"
After the shot, Cantero also calmed down. It seemed that all his anger was kicked into the stands along with the football. He quickly raised his hand to apologize to Melli.
Although Melli is not the captain, with his ability and the honors he has received, he is the absolute boss in this Olympic team. Even the captain Juan Sosa has to give Melli face.
Not to mention others.
Although Melly seems to be a very gentle person at ordinary times, when he is angry, he can still cause people to feel great pressure.
Seeing that Cantero simply admitted his mistake, Melly couldn't continue to pester him. He sighed: "Let's start over!"
Another opportunity wasted...
※※※
In fact, Melli was also angry, but he chose to vent his anger on his opponents instead of football.
"Melli shoots! It's dangerous!"
Seeing the football miss the goal, He Feng took a deep breath and said with lingering fear.
"Melimelli Melimelli - he passed the football, Martinez - be careful!" He Feng exclaimed again.
After attracting many defensive players from the Olympic team, Melli distributed the football to midfielder Christian Martinez. The latter rounded his legs and volleyed. The football was blocked by Wang Guangwei, who came up to defend. Bounce out.
Wang Guangwei, who was hit by the football, shook his body and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and seemed unable to get up.
But Argentina did not take the initiative to stop, but continued to attack, so Wang Guangwei swayed up from the ground holding his stomach, gritted his teeth and threw himself into the battle.
Shi Wuyin, who saw this scene on the sidelines, was very dissatisfied. He complained loudly to the fourth official, but received no response.
However, when Argentina shot the football over the baseline and saw the Chinese Olympic team players going up to argue with the Argentinian players, Shi Wuyin anxiously shouted to the court from the sidelines: "Calm down! Don't be impulsive!!"< br>
He was afraid that something he didn't want to happen would happen to the players because of their intense emotions.
"Eh? Calm down..." He Feng, who was in the commentary box, saw this scene and kept saying, "You must control your emotions at this time!"
Yan Kang took a look at the game time and said: "The game has been played for seventy-eight minutes, and there are still more than ten minutes before the end of the game... We have to make the opponent impatient, but we cannot mess up our own position. The more impatient the opponent is, the more anxious we will be. You have to stay calm! The game time of ten minutes is not long or short, so we must keep the score!”
In his opinion, the Chinese Olympic team's ability to draw with Argentina despite such a disparity in strength between the two sides would be a successful conclusion to the Olympic team's Olympic journey. The young men of the Olympic team can return home with their heads held high, and accept the applause and flowers sent to them by fans and media at the airport with peace of mind. No one will laugh at them or make fun of them.
But the Argentine players on the field did not agree.
In the 80th minute of the game, Melli played a two-on-one with his teammates in the frontcourt and hit the wall. He passed the football to Cantero, and he cut and ran straight behind the Chinese team's defense.
To be honest, the intention is obvious and everyone can see it, but just because you can see it doesn't mean you can prevent it.
Cantero passed the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping.
Seeing that Meili was about to run in to catch the ball, Liu Yan, who was blocking him, had no choice but to reach out and pull Meili down...
Accompanied by the referee's crisp whistle, there were deafening boos in the stands - the Argentinian fans were very dissatisfied with Liu Yan's foul.
The commentator on Argentine TV was shouting: "This is a very bad tactical foul! If he hadn't pulled it, Melli would have broken into the penalty area! A card must be played!"
The referee complied with his request and awarded Argentina a free kick outside the penalty area, while showing Liu Yan a yellow card.
Subtitles were played below the TV broadcast to remind the audience that Liu Yan would automatically miss the next game. In the first group match, he not only gave Nigeria a penalty kick but also received a yellow card due to a foul in the penalty area. Now he gets another yellow card, so he will be automatically suspended for one game if he accumulates two yellow cards.
But no one cared about this matter, not even Liu Yan himself.
I don’t know if the Chinese team will have another game in the Olympics...
We must do our best to prevent Argentina from scoring. Now is not the time to worry about gains and losses.
Liu Yan, who took over the captain's armband from Guo Junfu who had been substituted, turned around, clapped his hands hard, and shouted to his teammates: "Don't relax! Lin Zhiyuan, direct the human wall!"
Chen Xingyi pushed Hu Lai, who had a yellow card, away from the football. He took Hu Lai's role and stood in front of the football to prevent the opponent from taking a quick free kick.
Hu Lai ran into the penalty area, preparing to use his talent to prevent Argentina's follow-up shot - if Lin Zhiyuan didn't hit the football out, but landed in the penalty area, he could kick it out before the Argentine players. .
Luo Kai ran to form a wall with his teammates. He had a height advantage and was physically stronger than his other two strike partners, allowing him to block a larger area.
Lin Zhiyuan leaned against the near post of the goal and shouted loudly, instructing his teammates to line up against the wall: "Go to the left, a little further to the left! Hey! That's right, that's it! Okay!" He gave a thumbs up to his teammates who looked back. , then smacked the goal post hard and ran back to the center right of the goal.
Wang Guangwei stood in the wall of people with his hands behind his back instead of protecting his vital parts. In this way, if you jump up, you won't be able to raise your arms. If you hit the football and get a penalty kick... How unfair would that be? He would rather be kicked in the face by football again than leave any hidden dangers.
There were ten minutes left in the game, and before the last drop of blood was shed, the young people of the Chinese Olympic team did not give up.
