Chapter 485: Advance to the Finals

We will play the men's football semifinals with Nigeria at 18:00 on the 19th, and the men's basketball quarterfinals with Lithuania at 16:45 on the 20th. It's really busy fighting on both fronts! Now the Olympic Committee is also very depressed.

They had never thought that Lu Qiujian could lead two teams to the knockout rounds at the same time. They would have thought of something when they made the schedule.

After bidding farewell to everyone in the men's basketball team, Lu Qiujian returned to the men's football training center, where Ye Chu was holding a laptop and using software he wrote to analyze the previous games of the Nigerian team.

This Nigeria team has maintained the tradition of the African Eagle. They have excellent physical fitness, superb skills and abundant physical fitness. Especially in the Olympic competition, the physical and technical advantages of African teams have always allowed them to achieve good results. Nigeria and Cameroon have successively

Having won the championship at the Atlanta Olympics and the Sydney Olympics, Nigeria reached the semi-finals this time and faced an underdog like the Chinese men's football team. They seemed confident about reaching the final again.

However, African teams are not without shortcomings. Their tactical skills are always a headache, and they lack patience. If they cannot attack for a long time, they will become impatient. This is where the Chinese men's football team has a chance to win.

In the opinion of Director Gao, Lu Qiujian's decision to play as a defensive midfielder is extremely wise. For the Chinese men's football team, there is one more Messi and one more Makelele on the field. The combination of Pirlo and Alonso is completely incomparable.

, having one more Messi will not necessarily lead to goals, but having one more all-around midfielder can double the difficulty for the opponent to score goals.

"In this game, we will still play a 451 formation, defend with all our strength and look for opportunities. When Nigeria loses patience in the second half, we will adjust our strategy according to the situation on the field!" Lu Qiujian discussed with the coaching staff and finally decided on this plan.

The tone of the game.

At 18:00 in the evening, the Beijing Workers' Stadium turned into a sea of ​​red. Fans from all over the country packed the stadium, which can accommodate 64,000 people, to the hilt. The Chinese Olympic team will compete with the Nigerian team for a place in the stadium.

Later on, Argentina and Brazil will compete for another spot at the Magic City Stadium for a spot in the final; the Chinese Olympic team avoids the fatigue of traveling long distances. This is the benefit of being the host!

Throughout the first half, the Olympic team huddled in its own half, trying its best to resist Nigeria's attack. Lu Qiujian not only blocked the opponent's breakthroughs in the middle, but also used loud shouts to maintain his own defensive formation, which benefited from

Due to the concerted efforts of the team and the outstanding performance of the goalkeeper. Forty-five minutes passed, but the Nigerian team still failed to break the goal of the Olympic team; this gave all the fans present a glimmer of hope of victory.

Twenty minutes into the second half of the game, the Nigerian team became more and more impatient. Even the central defender was overwhelmed near the center circle. Director Gao saw the opportunity. He sent Lin Xiao, who had been holding back for most of the game, out to try to take advantage of his excellent speed.

and dribbling skills to find opportunities.

Nigerian midfielder Ogbuike once again broke through along the wing, but was blocked by Zhao's kick. He had to turn to the center. Unexpectedly, Lu Qiujian had already seen the opportunity, and he couldn't step forward and snatched the ball away from his feet.

, and then immediately passed it to Zheng Zhi, shouting at the same time, "Pass it back!"

Zheng Zhi didn't have time to think, and instinctively kicked the ball to the center according to Lv Qiujian's instructions. Lv Qiujian accelerated suddenly and evaded his tackle with a Marseille spin in front of the opponent's midfielder, and began to run long distance.

Like a bolt of lightning, Lu Qiujian quickly reached the center circle. Nigeria's defense suddenly panicked. Seeing the most threatening player in football breaking through with the ball, how could they not be more vigilant, so the two players near the center circle

The center back and a full back quickly surrounded him, intending to stop Lu Qiujian even if it was a foul.

"Lu Qiujian broke through with the ball, attracting three Nigerian defensive players to chase and intercept him. Nigeria's defense was completely disrupted by him alone! We saw Lin Xiao advancing along the wing!" Huang Taixian said in the live broadcast seat

He stood up excitedly, "Beautiful

Pass! This reminds me of the wonderful pass Maradona gave to Caniggia in the match between Argentina and Brazil in the 1990 World Cup! Lin Xiao caught the ball, and only Nigeria was left in front of him.

The goalkeeper, let’s see if he can seize this opportunity!”

"Lin Xiao deceived the Nigerian goalkeeper with a fake move! He is now facing an empty goal! Pushed with his left foot! The ball went in! Long live the Chinese men's football team! Long live Lu Qiujian! Long live Lin Xiao! The Olympic team won a goal

As long as we hold on to the lead for another 20 minutes, the Chinese Olympic team will become the first Asian men's football team in history to reach the Olympic finals!" Wong Tai Sin shouted incoherently, his voice drowned by the shouts of more than 60,000 people.

in the sound.

After all, the Nigerian team failed to reverse the game. They immediately launched a fierce attack on the Chinese men's football team after the restart. Unfortunately, their passion had been extinguished by Lin Xiao's goal. Not only did they fail to score, they were also beaten by Lu Qiu.

Jian took advantage of the goalkeeper's position and sealed the victory with a midfielder's lob.

The Chinese men's football team entered the finals, and the entire workers' sports team suddenly became excited. After the game, the fans surrounded the team bus. Finally, Lu Qiujian stood up and said that he would participate in the men's basketball game tomorrow, and the players had already

They were very tired and wanted to go back early to rest, so they reluctantly dispersed.

The next day, the headlines in almost all newspapers and media were changed to the news that the Chinese men's football team reached the finals. All the gold medal winners decided today became the foil of these players.

However, Director Gao was not dazzled by the joy. He closed the base and refused to accept interviews from reporters and fans to watch the game. Now that we have reached the finals, can we think further? Football is round,

The Argentina team has Messi, and we also have Lu Qiujian. Although even Chinese fans are not optimistic about them, Director Gao still wants to find that slim chance of victory.

The next day, Lu Qiujian led the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat the Lithuanian team with difficulty in the absence of Yao Ming, reaching the Olympic semi-finals and also achieving a historic breakthrough.

Then, the day before the Olympic men's football final, they faced the challenge of Spain, the opponent they had faced in the group stage. This time, the Spanish team had adjusted its state and was definitely not comparable to the group stage.

"Xiao Lu, I'm fully recovered now, let me play in the next game!" Yao Ming, who was showing off his power on the training ground, looked at Lu Qiujian and said.

With these current players alone, it may be difficult to defeat the Spanish team again. Should he play? (To be continued.)
