Chapter 761 760 [A Last Stand]

The Chinese Olympic football team had the most high hopes from the Chinese people before the game, even more so than Liu Changchun and Yang Xiuqiong.

In later generations of the Chinese national football team, when selecting national team members, the officials above had the final say. It was even difficult for even the head coach to make the decision.

But this time the selection is all based on personal strength. As long as you are Chinese, you can enter, including those overseas Chinese athletes. The selection slogan at that time was: "Whether it is domestic or overseas, no matter whether it is a novice or a veteran, we will try to collect all the Chinese football players. We hope to form a strong team with the best of the country and add glory to the Chinese nation."

There are a total of 30 players in the preliminary list of the football team. These players first came to Hong Kong to participate in the Hong Kong Football League. The British Navy and the British Army stationed in Hong Kong will then be invited to play three exchange games each, allowing 30 preliminary players to take turns to appear, and the selection committee will conduct on-site observation and evaluation.

Finally, an official list of 22 people was selected, including 13 people from the South China Association, 2 people from the China Association, 2 people from the Donghua Association, 2 people from the Youyou Association, and 3 people from overseas Chinese.

Historically, the Chinese football team has only played three games in the Olympics. In the first game of the group stage, they met England, which was the strongest team at the time. In the second game of the group stage, they met Germany, which was the team with the strongest black whistle at the time. It could be said that they were assigned to the group of death.

In the game against England, the first half was tied 0-0. In the second half, the Chinese team was exhausted and its defense collapsed. The final score was 0-2.

Not to mention the match against Germany, which was baptized by the Nazi referee's black whistle throughout the game and was scored 0-2.

Judging from the group stage scores, the Chinese team ranked 12th - a total of 16 teams participated.

Because Zhou Hexuan provided sufficient funds, the Chinese football team's physical fitness and training were perfectly guaranteed. The group stage results this time were much better than in history: 1-2 against England, 2-2 against Germany, and then Denmark.

Judging from the current points of the Chinese team, they can only hope to qualify if they get 5 more goal differences. With 4 goal differences, they can only tie with Germany.

There is no way, the British team is too strong, the German team's black whistle is too powerful, and the Danish team has become the existence for everyone to score points.

At this time, the Danish team was not the "red explosive", it was simply weak and scum. In the previous games, Britain beat Denmark 6-0, Germany beat 5-1, and China must beat 5-0 or more if they want to qualify.

The game is about to start. Yan Chengkun, the head coach of the football team, said encouragingly: "Well, everyone, play hard and strive to qualify! Huitang, you come to set up the troops and I will be the logistics commander for everyone."

Twenty-two Chinese players collectively gave the coach speechless and contemptuous looks.

As we said before, Yan Chengkun is an excellent company manager, a senior football fan, and a director of a football club, but he has never served as a football coach. This time he came to Europe purely for tourism.

Captain Li Huitang took the initiative to take over the heavy responsibility of coaching, clapped his hands and said: "This time we are fighting against the odds and must get a goal difference of more than 5. According to the established plan, we will attack with all our strength in the first half and choose defense in the second half depending on the situation. Defeat Denmark." We may lose 2-0, we may lose 3-0, we may lose even 4-0, we must win 5-0! China will win!"

"China will win!" the team members shouted in unison.

Zhou Hexuan was surprised to find that the Chinese team deployed 5 forwards, 3 midfielders, and only 2 defenders as soon as they came on the field. This was really a fight against the odds.

Perhaps because of the last game of the group stage, the Danish team has been beaten out of temper by Britain and Germany. This game was just a formality. Their fighting was very inactive, and even the ball was passed slowly. Not far from the midfield, the ball was intercepted by Malaysian overseas Chinese Lin Zhiquan.

After Lin Zhiquan received the ball, he immediately passed it to Hong Kong player Liang Rongzhao. Liang Rongzhao dribbled the ball several meters away and passed it to Javanese overseas Chinese Li Yuxin before the Danes got close. The moment Li Yuxin caught the ball, Guangdong player Ye Beihua and Hong Kong player Li Huitang ran at the same time.

Li Huitang caught the ball and passed two people, and quickly passed the ball to Ye Beihua. Ye Beihua attracted two defenders from the opponent, ran with the ball, and suddenly knocked the ball with his heel and passed it back to Shanghai player Jia Youliang.

Jia Youliang suddenly kicked out with a big kick, and the ball fell into the empty Danish backcourt. Hong Kong player Feng Jingxiang, known as the "magic leg", quickly passed a Danish defender to catch the ball and headed straight into the Danish team's goal.

"brush!"

The ball went in.

The Danish goalkeeper is obviously out of shape. Perhaps he was fooled by the British and Germans in the first two group matches. When he saw Feng Jingxiang raising his foot, he immediately pounced to his left. Feng Jingxiang retracted his fake move and easily kicked the ball into the right corner of the net.

Only 3 minutes into the game, the Chinese team took the lead in scoring.

"brush!"

"brush!"

By the 31st minute of the game, the Chinese team had already scored 3-0.

The Danish team members finally woke up from their collective sleepwalking. They felt extremely angry. Even if they lost to England and Germany by huge margins, they were actually scored three goals by Asians. This is unbearable!

The Danish coach immediately asked for a substitution and roared at the players for a long time on the sidelines. When the game started again, the Danish players became extremely active and committed more and more fouls. The most disgusting thing is that several white referees turned a blind eye to various minor fouls. When Li Huitang was knocked over by two Danish players, only one of them received a warning.

Zhou Hexuan's face became extremely ugly. Cheating in swimming was a way of taking advantage of loopholes. As long as he did it well and within seconds, Zhou Hexuan would only admire the opponent's wisdom. But the black whistle is too abominable, a barbaric and violent violation of the rules.

"Click!"

There was a crisp sound on the field, and forward Ye Beihua's calf was tackled.

When Ye Beihua was carried off the field by the staff, the referee walked to the middle of the field and pointed, indicating to the Chinese players to kick off from here.

Since red and yellow cards were not used in football at this time, Zhou Hexuan did not know the result of the penalty until the game continued. There was no penalty kick, no penalty kick, not even a free kick. They just warned the Danish players and then gave the Chinese team a frontcourt ball.

"Black whistle!" Zhou Hexuan yelled angrily in English.

Not only Zhou Hexuan, more than 100,000 spectators also booed, and all kinds of debris were thrown towards the stadium.

"Long live China!"

"China will win!"

The Chinese present were shouting and cheering crazily.

Even many European spectators have now become Chinese fans. They shouted: "Come on, Chinese team, kill the Danish bastard!"

The Chinese team has made substitutions, but its morale is much lower than before. Li Huitang shouted with red eyes: "Don't be afraid of injuries, be more courageous! Counting the goalkeeper, we have 22 people. Even if 21 of our feet are kicked off, we will only We can still fight with one person left! Score two more goals, and we will qualify after scoring two more goals. Come on, win!"

"victory!"

"victory!"

The Chinese players were excited, hugging each other and shouting wildly.

Looking at the Chinese players who were pressing hard regardless of their own safety, Zhou Hexuan rubbed his eyes. He felt like there was sand in his eyes.
