Chapter 790 Argentine Pride

For the Argentines, they have been quite happy so far in this Athens Olympics. Regardless of the performance of other sports, at least in the two sports that the Argentines like most, their teams have entered the finals , and all hope to win the championship, which is absolutely rare in the century-old history of the Olympic Games.

Football is the sport that Argentines love most. Generations of Argentine superstars have been born on the Pampas grassland, from Kempes to Maradona, from Passarella to Batistuta, generation after generation Argentine players influence the young people in their homeland, and also affect the changes in world football. In Argentina, football is definitely a national industry.

This year's Argentine Olympic team can be said to be full of talents. They are based on the Argentine U2001 national team that participated in the 20 World Youth Championship. La, Mascherano, Kyrie Gonzalez, Carlos Tevez, these young players are definitely experienced in their age group.

In the group stage and knockout stage before the Olympic Games, this Argentine team played very impressive results. In the group stage, they beat Serbia and Montenegro [-]-[-], Tunisia [-]-[-], Australia [-]-[-], [-] points They beat Costa Rica [-]-[-] in the final, and Italy [-]-[-] in the semi-final. They scored [-] goals in five games without conceding a goal. Such results have already made them the favorites to win the Olympic football championship.

Compared with the Chinese team's stumbles in the Olympic football match, the Argentine team can be said to have reached the final like a rainbow, which more or less made the Argentines look down on their opponents in the final. It is more suitable to open a supermarket. Except for Liu Han, some Argentines know about it, other Chinese players and Argentines don't even bother to know about it.

At eight o'clock in the morning on August 2004, 8, Athens time, the players of the Chinese Olympic team came to the stadium for warm-up and adaptation training.

"Hey, Brother Liu was really awesome yesterday. He also scored a triple-double against the US team and scored more than 40 points. It's amazing. Last night, I heard that the leaders of the delegation went to visit the players in the middle of the night, but they got kicked out, haha."

During the simple jogging warm-up, the young men of the men's Olympic football team were talking about the basketball game that Liu Han participated in yesterday. Their Greek driver to the Olympic Stadium also gave them the thumbs up when they met in the morning.

"That is, who is Brother Liu? He is the No.1 sportsman in the world. He has never been seen before, and it is estimated that there will be no one in the future. I dare say that Brother Liu's words are definitely more effective than leaders, and he can directly reach the top. .”

"Well, the athletes are doing their best for Brother Liu, but I hope Liu Han's physical strength will not be a problem today. When the competition starts, we will run more and let Brother Liu relax a little bit."

Many young people in the team will definitely not have any objections to Liu Han now, they only have absolute admiration for Liu Han now.

"Well, yes, it's all here, we must not be ashamed, right, work hard, and show the Argentines how good we are."

As the captain of the team, Liu Han listened to the conversation of the young people in the team and didn't say much. Now the situation in the team is good, and no player is too nervous. This is undoubtedly good news for Liu Han.

Not long after the Chinese team started warming up, the Argentine team also came to the Olympic Stadium, which is the main venue of this Olympic Games, and the two sides shared a space for warming up.

Compared with the atmosphere of the Chinese team, the Argentine team seemed more relaxed. Their players started training with the ball after a simple jogging warm-up. Some young Argentine players began to show off their skills during training. In terms of footwork, in their view, Liu Han is certainly good, but the Chinese team is absolutely impossible to be their opponent.

After nine o'clock in the morning Athens time, fans began to enter the Olympic Stadium one after another.

After all, it was the final of the men's soccer team in the Olympic Games, so although the host did not participate, there were definitely a lot of spectators watching the game. Many Chinese and ethnic Chinese in Europe came to the stadium to watch the game, and the Chinese ambassador to Athens also came in person. Watching the game on the stadium, no matter how you say it, it is the glory of the country and all Chinese people that the men's Olympic team can reach the final.

In addition to the fans of both sides and some neutral fans, there are also many scouts and head coaches of European clubs in the field. Although the Olympic football matches are not as influential as the World Cup and the Champions League, they are all young players participating after all. The club also wants to find favorite young players through the Olympics.

"Guys, one last thing to say, remember our tactics, stare at the Chinese Liu in the midfield, as long as this Chinese team does not have him, it will be an ordinary team, but everyone should not relax too much, and try our best. Don't give opportunities to the opponent's set-pieces, the opponent's set-pieces are our biggest threat."

After the warm-up, the head coach of the Argentine team returned to the locker room to make final arrangements for the team. Although he said not to be too slack with the enemy, his demeanor clearly showed his contempt for the Chinese team. The Argentine There is such a qualification to despise the Chinese Olympic team.

Compared with the relaxation of the Argentine team's locker room, the Chinese team's locker room is much more serious.

The first thing Horton did when he returned to the locker room was to ask Liu Han how he was feeling and whether his physical strength could keep up.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Horton, since I have chosen to participate in the competition, I will definitely give [-]% of my effort. There is no problem with my body."

Liu Han could actually feel a little tired at this time, but he used firm words to encourage his teammates and the head coach.

"This is the best way, then remember our thinking, we can start with a tentative attack, the best results, if not, then defend and counterattack, the opponent is definitely stronger than us in the midfield, and the cooperation will be more tacit than ours, so When defending, you must pay attention to compressing the opponent’s touch space, Liu, and when the time is right, you also have to retreat to defend, the front line relies on Zhang, the wing must be well protected, and their wingers are very fast.”

Horton is now acting like a mother-in-law, but he still has an effect in doing so, at least it has cleared up the players who were a little confused before.

With the whistle of the referee, the men's football final of the Athens Olympic Games officially started at ten o'clock in the morning Athens time.
