Chapter 439 First Battle in Spain

Sydney, Australia is the largest city in Australia and the capital of New South Wales. Many people think that Sydney is the capital of Australia, but in fact the capital of Australia is Canberra.

In fact, Canberra's ability to become the capital of Australia is very dramatic. At the beginning of Australia's establishment, the six colonies formed a federation. At this time, the two most developed cities at that time, Sydney and Melbourne, had a fierce battle over who would become the capital of the new country. After some disputes, they finally negotiated and decided to build a new city in the middle of the same distance from the two cities as the capital of the new country.

After years of development, although Sydney has become Australia's largest city and economic, financial, shipping and tourist center, it is not the capital of Australia.

Liu Han and the Men's National Olympic Team followed the Chinese Olympic delegation to Sydney and stayed in the Olympic Village. However, the players of the National Olympic Team will not stay in the Olympic Village in Sydney for too long. They have to go to Adelaide, which will be their main venue in the group stage.

The Chinese Men's National Olympic Team, which came to Adelaide in advance, has attracted the attention of a lot of media. Although everyone knows that the target of these media is only Liu Han, the strength of the Chinese team has also attracted a lot of attention. People's guess, after all, they have Liu Han, the best player in this year's Champions League and the winner of the Golden Boot, in their team.

Holden attaches great importance to the opponent of the Spanish Olympic team in the first group match. Although the Spanish national team was eliminated by the French team in the just-concluded European Cup, there are many young talents in this Spanish Olympic team , They all play for various teams in La Liga. Compared with such a luxurious lineup, the Chinese team's lineup seems a little thin.

For this game, Horton decided to adopt a more conservative 532 formation. Liu Han played the role of midfielder to organize the team's defense. At the same time, he had to look for opportunities to counterattack. It was useless to defend all the time.

In September, the southern hemisphere is still a bit cooler at night, so all football games are played in the afternoon.

On September 2000, 9, two days before the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games, the Olympic football match officially started.

For the first opponent in the group stage, the Chinese team, the Spanish Olympic team did not pay much attention to it. Although the media has always paid attention to Liu Han in the Chinese team, for these young Spanish players, the Chinese team did not pay much attention. Too much in their eyes.

In the eyes of Camacho, the head coach of the Spanish Olympic team, the Chinese team has not always been an opponent worthy of attention. Under his influence, the Chinese team seems to have never participated in any major international competitions, although it is considered a good team in Asia. team, but at this time Asian football is still a frontier in the eyes of Europeans.

As for Liu Han, Camacho doesn't think one person can change a team.

In this game, Camacho still put up a 442 lineup in accordance with the national team's habits. He is a traditional coach.

The game entered into a half-time offensive and defensive drill from the kick-off of the Spanish Olympic team. The Chinese team's tactics were very conservative. Except for Xie Hui and Li Jinyu on the front line, almost all other players returned to defense.

Liu Han is very active in defense. Although he is a single midfielder, there are five teammates behind him to defend, so Liu Han can press down on Harvey, who is in charge of organizing the attack in Spain.

Xavi is another talented midfielder produced by Barcelona La Masia youth training. In the club, he has gradually replaced Guardiola since 98 and has become the core of Barcelona's midfielder. In the national team and the Olympic Games Harvey is also an indispensable core of the team, and the offensive organization of the entire team is under Harvey's feet.

However, compared to the smooth sailing in the club, Harvey's performance in the national team and the Olympic team is not so satisfactory. Harvey, who is used to playing in the club, is always a little uncomfortable in the Olympic team.

Liu Han’s press forced Harvey to withdraw his position, because Liu Han’s defensive pressure on Harvey was too great, almost making it difficult for Harvey to connect the ball, regardless of speed or strength, Harvey was impossible It is Liu Han's opponent.

It strangled the brains of Spain's offense. Although their attack momentum was very strong, the effect was not great. Although the Chinese team has been suppressed in the half court, the Chinese team's defense like a bus made the Spanish players feel helpless. , The Spanish players strengthened their long shots.

The players of the Chinese team were determined to defend in today's game. Compared with the past, they always lacked purpose in both defense and offense. But after Liu Han joined, the team has the only core. When the players don't know how to play next, Liu Han will always appear in a position where he can respond. In defense, the players of the Chinese team will also boldly attack because they know that even if they are broken through, Liu Han will be there. Next up is in place.

Although this style of play exhausted Liu Han's physical strength very quickly, the effect was indeed obvious. The Chinese team defended very well in the first three 10 minutes of the game, and the Spanish team's siege failed to achieve any effect.

The Spanish team, which had been besieged for 10 minutes, inevitably felt a little slack. Their defensive players began to appear in the Chinese team's half, and Liu Han began to try to organize a few counterattacks.

In the 304th minute of the game, Liu Han intercepted Harvey's pass in the backcourt. Harvey's current game experience is not so rich. Facing Liu Han's pressure, Harvey took the ball to his teammate Al Belda, but Liu Han suddenly grabbed the ball and intercepted it.

Liu Han, who grabbed the football, didn't even look up to observe the situation, and directly passed a long pass to the right, where Li Jinyu made a high-speed jump, and Spain's left back Capdevila had just assisted the Chinese team in the half, and it was too late to return to the defense.

The Chinese team formed a very threatening counterattack in an instant. The midfielders and strikers began to plug in at high speed, and Liu Han also ran forward with all his strength in the middle to meet Li Jinyu.

Spain's defenders also returned to the defense immediately, and Puyol, with curly hair and blond hair, immediately assisted in the defense to the right. It was impossible for the Spanish team to allow Li Jinyu to directly threaten the goal.

Li Jinyu was very excited when he received the ball from Liu Han, which made his stop a little flawed, but the impact was not great, but Li Jinyu didn't dare to cut inside rashly, because he had already observed when he stopped the ball The Spanish defender moved, and the cut inside is likely to make the Spanish defender entangle him, so Li Jinyu buried his head in begging, and he believed that Liu Han would be in place in the middle.

Li Jinyu, who was close to the bottom line, stabilized the ball. At this time, the Chinese team had two players in the middle, Xie Hui was in ambush at the back point, and Liu Han had already stepped into the penalty area.

Before Puyol defended, Li Jinyu passed the ball to the front of the center. There was a gap in the defense of the Spanish team. He believed that Liu Han would be aware of this gap.

Liu Han, who stepped into the penalty area, raised his speed to the highest after seeing Li Jinyu's pass, but the distance was still a little far away.

Another Spanish central defender, Marchena, also noticed this defensive gap, and he was also in place at high speed.

Liu Han realized that he was still a little far away from the ball, so he lowered his body and swooped out when the ball was about to approach. At this time, Marchena was also ready to make a clearance.

Liu Han dived in the air without any fear of Marchena's big feet. He headed the ball before Marchena touched the ball. The ball changed direction and bounced to the back point. Spanish goalkeeper Aranzubia was beyond his reach.

After seeing Liu Han's desperate dive, Marchena retracted his big foot, but he still couldn't help kicking Liu Han's forehead and brow bone.

After scoring the goal, Liu Han only felt a pain in his brow bone, and then some liquid flowed out, but he didn't care because he just scored a goal, although this was not his first goal on behalf of the Olympic team , but this is the first goal of the Chinese team in the Olympic Games. The Chinese team did not score any goals in the two Olympic Games before liberation. ball.

Liu Han raised his hands up habitually, a rare smile appeared on his face, but the flow of facial fluid made him feel a little itchy.

The Spanish players looked at Liu Han, who was bleeding from his face, and celebrated his goal indifferently, and immediately felt a surge of respect in their hearts. Although the Chinese team was their opponent in this game, the Warriors always deserve everyone's respect.

The players of the Chinese team huddled together excitedly, only then did Liu Han realize that he was bleeding, and the blood had already dyed the white jersey red.

The domestic football fans were very excited after Liu Han scored the first goal, and some excited fans even hung up the prepared firecrackers in advance and set them off.

Horton, who was on the bench of the Chinese team on the sidelines, urged the team doctor to play immediately. He didn't dare Liu Han to have any problems now.

The referee signaled that Liu Han must leave the field for treatment and change his jersey, and Liu Han walked to the sidelines clutching the towel given by the team doctor.

Although the Spanish players had some regrets, they were not discouraged by the goal of the Chinese team. They believed in their own strength.

The game continued without Liu Han in the Chinese team, and the Spanish team immediately launched a fierce attack, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible.

"The wound is a bit big, the band-aid can't stop the bleeding, and the hemostatic spray can't be used near the eyes, it will hurt the eyes, so it can only be stitched up, and if the stitches require anesthesia, Liu Han has to end." The team doctor Xiang surrounded Liu Han Horton and Liu Han explained the situation.

Although Liu Han is receiving treatment, his energy is all concentrated on the court. The situation on the court is precarious, and danger has already appeared in front of the Chinese team.

"Just suture here, I can bear it, I can't end." Liu Han ordered the team doctor in an unusually firm tone.

"but……"

"No but, come on."

Liu Han was injured and left the field for treatment. The cameras on the sidelines have been watching here. As the biggest football star in this Olympic football game, every move of Liu Han has attracted great attention. At this time, the cameras faithfully recorded This scene that happened next.

The team doctor of the Chinese team tremblingly approached Liu Han's brow bone with a needle and thread in his hand, but Liu Han watched the game indifferently.
