Chapter 292 Lightning
"Fuck, someone come!"
It was pure dreaming to pass 1 with 3. Jiang Yuan had to find someone to help him no matter what. Liu Binbin was obviously the best choice. In order to help Jiang Yuan out of trouble, the young Taishan player gave up his center position and ran over to cooperate with Jiang Yuan.
clap clap!
The two of them were in sync at this moment and played a wall-to-wall combination. Finally, Jiang Yuan dribbled the ball to the baseline.
Look up and see, Xiaolei, Xiaolei, where are you?
found it!
Jiang Yuan wrapped the ball with his left foot and kicked a low cross. At the same time, Wu Lei ran into the penalty area from the right, passed by the Mexican central defender, and pushed the ball in front of the goal.
"what!"
Goalkeeper Talavera sat on the ground with the help of gravity. This guy always wanted to pretend to be De Gea and do a lotus pose, but in fact he is not even one-third of De Gea's level.
"GOLOOOOO!!!"
"Golo de Wu Lei!"
"México 1:2 China!"
"Wohoooo!"
The Portuguese commentator at the scene cheered, and thanks to Wu Lei's goal, the Chinese team once again expanded the score.
"Brother Yuan!"
After scoring the goal, Wu Lei did not celebrate but ran straight towards Jiang Yuan, stretched out his hands in front of him and bowed his upper body 60 degrees, which is a kneeling salute on the court.
"Haha! Good shot!"
Jiang Yuan put his arm around Wu Lei's neck and dragged him to the corner flagpole.
Jiang Yuan grabbed Wu Lei's arm and said, "Come here!"
Jiang Yuan raised Wu Lei's arm, and the audience immediately said: "Wu Lei!"
If you raise it again, the stands will be like “Awesome!”
"Wu Lei!"
"Brilliant!"
"Wu Lei!"
"Brilliant!"
Because today is the first time that the National Olympic Team has participated in the Olympic Games since the 08 Beijing Olympics, no matter which player scores a goal, it will be that player's first Olympic goal.
Just now, Wu Lei scored with Jiang Yuan's cross from the left.
"call!"
"call!"
Li Yi blew his hair twice in front of the bench. He felt his mouth was a little dry, so he drank two sips of water.
“There’s a lot of hope!”
Li Shubin said with emotion that although this national Olympic team is not the strongest one, because they are the championship team, everyone is very confident.
Li Yi sat back in his chair: "Looking at it step by step, there are still big problems for the players to get along with each other. Although Mexico also has it, our problem is bigger."
Player coordination is a problem that exists in all national football teams. Since the training time is relatively short, players in the national team cannot play with the same coordination as they do in the club.
“This should be a good thing for us.”
Li Shubin has his own opinion on this: "No one cooperated, so our weakness was covered up. If we don't consider cooperation, we still have top players, but they don't."
……
In the 71st minute of the game, the continuous breakthroughs on the wing made him feel a little tired, but he was not in a hurry to leave the field.
The team was only leading by one goal, which was quite dangerous. There were only three rounds in the group stage, and every point was very important to the Chinese team. As for the number of goals, there was no medal for the top scorer in the Olympics, so it didn't matter how many goals were scored. The most important thing was to find a way to defeat the opponent.
Falling behind again made the Mexican coach a little anxious, so he immediately changed the game strategy and let Perez, who originally played as a single defensive midfielder, move forward. The formation changed from 41212 to 4312. It seemed that the single defensive midfielder became 3 defensive midfielders, but in fact, 2 attacking midfielders became 3 attacking midfielders.
The speed was very fast. The adjustment made by the Mexican coach immediately won them an opportunity. In the 74th minute, Perez, Gutierrez and Gonzalez formed a triangle connection, forcing Jiang Yuan to lose the ball. Then Mexico began to counterattack against the Chinese team.
"Gutierrez passed the ball to the left, Cisneros took the ball and passed it forward. Now the one holding the ball is No. 18 Eric Torres."
"Torres signaled his teammates to go to the left to provide support!"
"Lozano's position was good, but Torres was not in a hurry and slowly went down to the bottom, one-on-one with Shi Ke at the bottom line."
"All the Mexican attacking players are pressing forward. Oh! Mexico wants to create a short-term numerical advantage during the attack. Salcedo from the backfield also runs in. This Mexican central defender is 1 meters tall and is a good header."
"Torres, cross!"
“In the middle, Salcedo headed the ball, but was caught by Wang Dalei!”
"Well done!"
The scene was filled with cheers from Chinese fans. Excluding the swearing in the second half, Wang Dalei's performance in today's game was remarkable.
Seeing Wang Dalei fall to the ground while trying to save the life, Jiang Yuan hurried forward.
Zhang Linpeng noticed this scene and reminded: "Look ahead, look ahead!"
Wang Dalei stood up and saw Jiang Yuan who was quickly approaching the offside line in the frontcourt, and then glanced at Wu Xinghan.
Wu Xinghan understood, rushed over, and used his body to push Salcedo away, helping Wang Dalei to make room for a running start.
"gone!"
Wang Dalei ran forward holding the ball, swung his arm backward, and then swung it forward suddenly.
"wowww!"
Wang Dalei's hand-thrown ball flew directly out of the Chinese team's half, about 55 meters away, and was incredibly accurate.
Jiang Yuan was looking for a position while watching the football flying in the sky. Knowing that he was not good at controlling high balls, he simply used his thighs to stop the ball, maximizing the area of contact with the ball and avoiding mistakes as much as possible.
Snapped!
A crisp sound was heard, and Jiang Yuan stopped the ball. However, because he stopped the ball with his thigh, Jiang Yuan had to stop before stopping the ball, which gave the Mexican backcourt players enough time to return to defense.
"shit!"
Bolt in the VIP stands curled his lips helplessly. It was obvious that Jiang Yuan didn't have much chance this time.
But at this moment, a jaw-dropping scene appeared. Jiang Yuan used his thigh to pass the ball to his right foot, twisted his ankle and knocked the ball forward.
The ball passed between Perez and Montes and rolled towards the Mexican goal.
"Oh?"
“Istoé um erro! (This was a mistake)”
The female commentator thought that Jiang Yuan made a mistake in stopping the ball and connecting it, and the Mexican defensive player thought so too, and the pressure on them was suddenly reduced by more than half.
Unexpectedly, after Jiang Yuan knocked the ball, he rushed directly between Perez and Montes.
“No es bueno!!! (Not good!)”
Perez reacted and reached out to pull Jiang Yuan down, but Jiang Yuan dodged him. In the camera, Jiang Yuan passed between Perez and Montes and came into the penalty area.
Goalkeeper Talavera ran out and tried to make a steal.
Because of his previous experience, Jiang Yuan knew that the Mexican goalkeeper liked to pretend to be De Gea, so he wrapped the ball with the arch of his foot and kicked it directly into the air.
As expected, Talavera pretended to be De Gea and did a lotus pose. As a result, the ball hit by Jiang Yuan passed directly between his arms and thighs and he successfully scored.
“GOOOOOOO—LLLLL—OOOOOOOOO!!!”
"Velocidade incrível!!! (Incredible speed)"
"Jiang Yuan!"
China!
Boom!
China! Bang! Bang!
Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Jiang Yuan ran all the way to the VIP stand, his speed getting slower and slower.
People who were familiar with Jiang Yuan thought he was going to perform Tai Chi to celebrate, while people who were not familiar with Jiang Yuan thought he was going to hug the head coach in front of the bench.
But neither.
Jiang Yuan was seen standing with his legs apart, his right thigh pressed down, his whole body leaning to the right, his eyes looking to the left, with his index fingers stretched out, pointing at the sky on the left.
"wowwww!"
The audience's attention immediately focused on Bolt in the VIP stands, and the cameras in the stadium also shifted their attention.
"Please!"
Bolt smiled and gave a thumbs up to the camera.
"Haha, Jiang Yuan and Bolt in the stands have a dream connection. Hey, Coach He, did you know that Jiang Yuan and Bolt know each other?"
"Oh, I know this. They posted on Instagram during the opening ceremony yesterday. Jiang Yuan, Neymar, and Bolt all posted. Coach Zhan, Bolt also likes to play football. Don't you know that?"
"Eh, I really didn't know about this linkage, haha!"
"But then again, why is Bolt watching a football match here? Doesn't he have to compete? The 200m preliminaries will start on the 12th."
Zhan Jun and He Wei both felt a little surprised about Bolt's appearance. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Bolt's last Olympics. Logically, he should take it very seriously.
[Fuck, I really didn’t expect this wave of linkage]
[??? Bolt, when did these two guys know each other?]
[When did Bolt come? Why didn’t I know? ]
[Who is this guy in the stands? Is he as fast as Xiao Jiang? ]
[The person above is a stalker, right? ]
[Hahaha, hey, Bolt doesn't have to compete, right? He comes here to play football? ]
[He said in an interview before that he wanted to play football after retirement. Now it seems to be true. This guy really likes football.]
[Jiang Yuan is invincible in this wave, flying man! ]
[If Bolt comes, this ball should also be able to go in, right? ]
[Please stop joking. Bolt was able to stop Wang Dalei's hand-thrown ball. I kowtowed to everyone in the live broadcast room right on the spot.]
【Want to watch Xiao Jiang and Bolt run the 100 meters】
【Jiang Yuan:? 】
At the scene, the stands of the Manaus Stadium were a bright red, and everyone applauded Jiang Yuan and Bolt for this collaboration.
"Wuhoo!"
Bolt lifted up the Chinese Olympic team's cheering scarf around his neck and kissed it, just like he kissed the Brazilian scarf in the morning.
Bolt supports three teams in this Olympics, Jamaica, Brazil, and China.
There is no conflict of interest in competitive events between the three countries, which can be considered perfect.
"beep"
"In the 82nd minute, the Chinese team made a substitution. Zhang Yuning was replaced by... Jiang Yuan!"
"Li Yi wants to preserve Jiang Yuan's strength. This operation is very clever!"
"To be honest, Coach Li Yi is quite smart. Jiang Yuan kept breaking through in this game, so the pressure he took on, including the physical exertion, was very great."
"Haha, when the camera shows Jiang Yuan, he is already sweating profusely. I guess he wasn't this tired when he played in the Premier League, right?"
"We can't help it. He alone took on 80% of the attacks. Anyone would be exhausted!"
The fourth official raised a sign to signal a substitution, and Jiang Yuan slowly walked down the field.
More than 1 Chinese fans in the stands, both men and women, stood up and applauded Jiang Yuan.
Being willing to leave the club at the beginning of the season and play in the Olympics under pressure is worthy of recognition in itself, and playing well is also worthy of recognition. Coincidentally, Jiang Yuan has both.
It is hard to imagine that the Chinese team's No. 7 player walking off the court just graduated from high school two months ago.
"Awesome, Jiang Yuan! Damn, I love you to death!"
"Damn, that's awesome!"
"Fuck, that's awesome! Jiang Yuan! Wow~!"
"Jiang Yuan, fuck me!"
"?"
Snapped!
Jiang Yuan high-fived Zhang Yuning and casually touched Zhang Yuning's hair: "Brother Ning, come on!"
“Haha, we must work harder!”
"Xiaoyuan, thank you for your hard work!"
Li Yi came over with his coat and put it on Jiang Yuan. He also brought him a bottle of water. "Xiao Yuan, I saw that you seemed to have had an argument with Da Lei and Xing Han on the court. Do you want me to send them to the bench?"
"it's okay no problem"
Jiang Yuan waved his hand and sat back in his seat. Li Yi followed him.
"It's not a big deal, both sides have problems, I need to scold them and wake them up, you see, they are playing pretty well now, there's nothing to change."
Jiang Yuan was right. In that situation, speaking nicely was definitely not as useful as cursing.
"Well, then you should have a good rest!"
Li Yi blew his hair and walked back out of the venue.
The moment he turned his head, Li Yi's smile was replaced by an expressionless seriousness.
Although Jiang Yuan is the king of the team, Li Yi must make reporters think that he is the king of the team.
This is the charm of the head coach!
In the final minutes of the game, Mexico fought back hard, but the Chinese players were not fools. When they were leading 3:1, they passed the ball directly in the backcourt, which made the Mexican players anxious.
From the 84th minute to the 89th minute, in just 5 minutes, Mexico received 3 yellow cards in the frontcourt, which was a backlash from itself.
Four minutes of stoppage time were given and Mexico still did not give up the counterattack. Midfielder Perez took the ball and ran forward. After cooperating with Cisneros and Gonzalez respectively, Gonzalez completed a volley shot.
Wang Dalei wanted to perform a great save, but he didn't expect Gonzalez's kick to hit the ball directly into an airplane.
U23 is U23. This group of young players started to get anxious as soon as they fell behind. They took long shots from the outside every day. Not to mention the goalkeeper impersonating De Gea, Gonzalez is also a genius. From the first half to overtime, he was impersonating Jiang Yuan. Several of his long shots almost scared the Chinese fans to death, but the results were either the ball hit the target or the shot was too straight.
At first, the fans thought this guy was so awesome, but later, Gonzalez was booed whenever he got the ball. Not only Chinese fans booed him, but neutral fans were also very dissatisfied with this guy who liked long shots.
If a long shot hits the target, it’s called a long shot.
If you can't hit it, it's called a plane!
“Beep, beep—!”
"Okay, the game is over. In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Mexican team 3:1 with Jiang Yuan's double goal and Wu Lei's goal."
"Currently, the Chinese delegation has a total of 3 points and is temporarily ranked second in the group."
"It is worth mentioning that this is the first victory of the Chinese men's national Olympic football team in the Olympics since the 21st century."
"Currently, there are three Chinese men's football players who have scored goals in the Olympics, namely Dong Fangzhuo, Jiang Yuan, and Wu Lei. Jiang Yuan has become the top scorer in the history of the Chinese Olympic team with two goals."
