Chapter 9 Face has been given(2/2)

At the same time, in the locker room of the National Olympic Team, Xie Guanlong had just played the role of the head coach. He arranged tactics for the players of the National Olympic Team. In fact, his tactics were very simple, just some terms that pseudo-fans knew - "We must stabilize the defense and counterattack quickly. We started pressing in the frontcourt and walked on two sides. The ball was sunk on rainy days, and the long shot was strengthened..."

After saying these nonsense that seemed professional on the surface but actually meant nothing, he began his favorite ideological mobilization work. That is, pre-war mobilization.

"Players! It is rare to be able to compete with the European Champions League championship. The Football Association puts its efforts to win this opportunity for everyone, and I hope you cherish it." He puts one hand on the hip muscles. He opens his five fingers with his hands slightly and waves hard, and the leader is full of style. "We are definitely not as strong as our opponents in this game, but I hope you don't give up. You have to play your own style! First of all, the momentum! The strength is weaker than the opponents. If the momentum is not as good as the opponents, there will be no way to play in this game! We must make them afraid! Show a tenacious fighting spirit and fierce pressing. The movement can be bigger. As long as the opponent is afraid, the game situation will be beneficial to us!"

He was talking very enthusiastically here, and head coach Dujkovic sat in the corner with an indifferent expression. It seemed that everything that happened here had nothing to do with him. In fact, it really had nothing to do. He was just a nominal person, couldn't do anything, and had no power. To put it bluntly, the audience could sit on the coach's seat.

"The second point is not to give up! No matter what the situation is, don't give up the game! The Chinese football style will never give up until the last second!" Xie Guanlong was full of energy, as if his team had already won the game, but wouldn't he blush when he said this... "If the opponent scores the goal, he must try his best to grab it and disrupt their rhythm! Then try to equalize the score faster.   We must be fierce when defending. We use our fighting spirit and tenacious fighting spirit.   A positive style to make up for the technical disadvantages!"

"Finally, I hope you can present a wonderful game to fans across the country, so that the fans can see the spirit shown in you! The Party and the people are watching you, and I hope you can deliver a satisfactory answer!"

After throwing the burden of 1.3 billion people on the shoulders of these ordinary players irresponsibly, Xie Guanlong left the locker room with ease with other officials. Thinking of that result, and the passionate speech he delivered before the game, he felt very, very good.

Back on the rostrum, he shook hands with Nottingham Forest Chairman Evan Dogerty and marketing manager Alan Adams. He sat next to the two of them and prepared to watch the game.

In the stand opposite the rostrum, a fan played the banner "Xie xlong was dismissed! Return me to Dui!", but his eyes swept over and pretended not to see it.

Players from both sides lined up to play, and the atmosphere became warmer. The players from both sides were broadcast one by one. Whether it was the National Olympic Team or the Nottingham Forest stars, they received the most enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience. Of course. Beckham is the most popular.

Since George Wood was not there, it was logical that the second captain Van der Sar came up to guess the side. But since this was not a formal game, but a commercial game, from a business perspective, Tang An gave the captain's armband to Beckham. This move was very pleasing. Seeing Beckham with the captain's armband in the middle circle with the captain's armband to guess the side, fans at the scene burst into cheers.

When guessing the side, Beckham lost to Li Weifeng and got the kickoff.

After taking a photo of the starting lineup, the players from both sides returned to their respective positions. The referee from China blew a whistle. The game officially began!

From the beginning of the game, the fans in the stands shouted hard, and in most cases they cheered for the Chinese Olympic team. Because Tang En heard it very clearly, they shouted: "Come on China! Come on China!"

Any fan who often watches live broadcasts of Chinese team games in TV will be familiar with this voice, and Tang En is no exception. It seems that no matter how popular Nottingham Forest is in China, no matter how great Beckham's appeal is. As long as the opponent is a national team in China, it is almost impossible for fans on the scene to cheer for the Forest.

At the beginning of the game, as Tang En said. The National Olympic Team is very morale. Although they do not control the ball, they press and are very active. Any successful defense will win a cheer in the stands. But in Tang En's opinion, this is just a show of courage but not strategy. The "head coach" arranged like this is very incompetent.

The National Olympic Team is very fierce in grabbing land. It will inevitably consume a lot of physical strength. And it cannot take care of every corner of the stadium in all aspects, especially in the defense line, there will be a lot of room to be used. Nottingham Forest is waiting for a suitable opportunity. One-hit kill.

This opportunity did not make Nottingham Forest wait for too long. Nottingham Forest, which can almost be considered as the main players, easily took the rhythm of the game into its own hands. The National Olympic Team could only follow the rhythm of the Forest Team at the beginning. They ran very actively and actively consumed a lot of physical strength, actively opening up gaps for the Forest Team.

In the sixth minute, Beckham saw the opportunity and suddenly made a pass to the penalty area. Van Nistruy and Eastwood attracted the attention of all the defenders of the National Olympic Team. Van der Fate, who was inserted into the back, appeared in the penalty area without any signing, and volleyed directly!

If it is a more important game, he may be determined to stop the ball first and make moves. However, in such a game, the National Olympic Team did not put any pressure on him, so he had the intention to play some difficult movements that were not commonly used. And the effect was very good...

"The ball has entered! Oh, the defense of the Chinese National Olympic Team has an unstoppable gap here..." The commentator of China's National Television seemed a little depressed. Although he knew that the strength of the two teams was not on the same level, the National Olympic Team represented China, and it was really shameful to lose the ball so quickly.

Seeing the goal, the players of the Forest team just celebrated simply, and Tang En and others on the coach's bench did not even get up to applaud.  For these people, it is normal to score a goal in the Chinese team and it is not worth celebrating at all.

After leading. Nottingham Forest intends to slow down the pace and begins to follow the policy arranged by Done before the game. If you have an offensive opportunity, you will attack the middle. Even if the Chinese National Olympic Team put all its defensive forces in the middle, even if this leads to a sharp decline in the offensive success rate, they have no intention of trying the wing.

The backward Chinese Olympic team strengthened the fight with the cheers of all the fans. They were overly excited and their movements became louder and louder, forcing the Nottingham Forest players to give up their ball rights many times to avoid the opponent's fierce tackle.

This made the players of the Forest team a little dissatisfied. The smell of gunpowder in commercial competitions gradually became stronger.

Finally, in the 21st minute. The forward of the National Olympic Team Gao Lin suddenly fell to the ground while receiving Zheng Zhi's pass in the penalty area, and the referee firmly awarded a penalty! The players of Nottingham Forest felt it was unfair. Although Pikui and Gao Lin had physical contact, it was a bit exaggerated to say that it was a foul. You can't just call a penalty if the opponent's forward fell to the ground in the penalty area?

The referee ignored the protests of the Forest players and insisted on the original judgment.

Tang En smiled when he saw this first scene off the court. Could it be that the Football Association still played double insurance?

There was no suspense, Zheng Zhi scored the penalty kick. The score became 1:1 tied.

The sound of gongs and drums in the stands was shocking. The fans were very happy to be able to equalize the score. The players of the National Olympic Team were also affected by this and became more and more excited and their movements became more and more ruthless.

The players of the Forest Team quickly discovered a problem.   The two sides fought together. After physical contact, the Chinese team players went to the end. In most cases, the referee would judge the Forest Team to foul.   The Chinese National Olympic Team was far ahead in the first half of the free kicks.

When Ayala bought from the back and poked the earth under Zheng Zhi's feet looking around, he fell to the ground. Zheng Zhi fell to the ground, and the referee called him a foul again. The Argentine veteran stood there with his hands on his hips and shook his head helplessly.

As a result, the players of Nottingham Forest played more and more passively, and they were timid in the offense against the Chinese team's almost foul defense. When they were on the defensive ground, they were worried that they would not dare to make a foul easily. The Chinese team thus regained the initiative on the court.

When the Forest team was in possession, they would rather fall back and forth in the middle and back court than pass it easily. This move made the fans of the earth who came to watch the ball very dissatisfied. They wanted to see the two sides going back and forth against each other rather than pass negative games. So, boos on Nottingham Forest began to appear in the stands. As long as they began to pass the ball to each other and pass back horizontally, the boos would immediately ring.

The Chinese Olympic team, which is struggling hard, naturally received one-sided and enthusiastic support.

Everyone’s idea is that since Nottingham Forest is unwilling to use all his strength, he disdains to play seriously with a team like us. Then we will defeat you and embarrass you!

In the second half of the first half, the Chinese Olympic team began to gain the upper hand. Even a besieged the Forest team goal, resulting in a dangerous scene of Van der Sar guarding. Seeing such a scene, the stands were naturally cheering, and Xie Guanlong on the rostrum was also full of spring breeze.

Chris Lack on the coach's seat couldn't sit still. What was strange was that Tang En, who could not tolerate sand in his eyes, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, crossing his legs. He was not worried about the difficulties of the team on the court.

Before the end of the first half, Van der Sar could only sigh at the ball.

At this moment, the decibels of the Fubang Sports Stadium reached its highest peak since its completion.

Xie Guanlong even stood up and applauded, and the Chinese Olympic team players hugged each other excitedly. They completely suppressed Nottingham Forest in the second half of the first half. Now they are ahead of the European champion! It is really difficult to make these young people not excited.

Where is Done? He just turned his head and said to the anxious Chris Lakke next to him: "You should be happy. The first half is about to end, and none of us are injured."

During the halftime break, the players of the National Olympic Team ran off the field with their heads held high and received cheers from the fans along the way. The players of Nottingham Forest bowed their heads helplessly, and occasionally they would hear boos coming from the stands.

No wonder the attitude of these fans who were very popular with Forest before the game changed by 180 degrees.                                                                                                                   

The director of the TV broadcast obviously knew Tang En's status. The camera found Tang En when the players left the court, but were surprised to find that Tang En was not dissatisfied with the result and the team's performance. This was really puzzling. Isn't it rumored that he could accept losing. But can't he accept losing with a cowardly and without fighting spirit?

Why now...

How could these people know that Tang En's little abacus was ringing in his heart?

Xie Guanlong on the rostrum left with a smile, and he was going to go to the locker room to inspect again. The team's performance in the first half made him very happy, and the reactions of the fans on the scene made him even happier.

Everyone was already in the locker room, and Tang En came in and closed the door.

He did not criticize the players at all and said with a smile: "You did a good job, and no one was injured. I'm relieved."

But his players disagree with this statement, Eastwood stood up with a depressed look on his face: "Boss, I can't accept such a result at all."

His statement was quickly approved and echoed by most other teammates.

"Oh? Why?" Tang En pretended to be surprised. "No injury is the most important thing in the warm-up match. I don't think there is no reason to fight in such a match."

"You're right, boss. But I just can't accept this result and the embarrassing scene. Every time I hear the booing in the stands, I feel uncomfortable. "Eastwood, who always smiles, is it now serious. "We are European champions, right? We are double champions, right? If we are a little serious, the first half will be 3:0. Honestly..."

Eastwood hesitated for a moment, but still said what he said: "...I don't like this kind of competition. It's like making a show to show the results they want to see. Compared with this kind of commercial competition, I prefer the real-life Champions League finals!"

After saying this, he held his head up and waited for criticism from the leader. But Tang En smiled and had no intention of scolding him at all.

"But I think the result of a commercial game is insignificant and the scene, and compared to that little face. I value your health more. We cannot choose whether to participate in this kind of competition. As our reputation increases, similar competitions will definitely be available. But we can choose the way of competition..."

Eastwood is determined to vent his resentment in the first half today. He knew that the boss liked him, so he was a little unscrupulous. “I remember the boss told us that the way to end the game early includes completely killing the opponent at the beginning of the game. Why can’t we behave like that in this game? Anyway, I think this kind of game is insulting my professional ethics.”

This was a bit heavy, but Tang En was still not angry. He looked at the players with a smile.

"I think, boss... I may be able to guess what these Chinese newspapers will say to us the next day, and it must be nothing good. "The second person stood up. Pepe, who did not play due to injury, shrugged and curled his lips. "I don't want others to look down on you."

"Boss, we know what a business competition is. But there is no requirement for a business competition to lose to the host."

"The referee in this game has been blowing the whistle. Everything is not good for us. I want to give them some color!"

"Anyway, it's uncomfortable to play in the first half, so football shouldn't be like this!"

More and more people stood up bravely against their king, but the smile on Tang En's face became even stronger.

"So, don't you want to lose?"

"Who told us that the football in Nottingham Forest is a football that will never admit defeat. Boss?" Eastwood looked straight at Donn and asked.

Tang En finally laughed out loud: "I knew you were not honest. Actually, I think... Of course I don't want to lose, but I don't really want you to be injured either. You have seen the opponent's actions, and I don't want to start regretting it when someone is injured. You must also consider your own body."

"I will make a large personnel adjustment at the beginning of the second half. I will not leave any of the eleven people. But!" He raised the volume. "You are right. Nottingham Forest football is a football that will never admit defeat. I will never accept failure, let alone such failure! We can clearly defeat them, so we will defeat them!"

Sun Jihai began to pray for his compatriots in a group of excited people.

Seeing everyone full of confidence and fighting spirit to win the game, Don Eun grinned happily.

The only regret is that he could not witness the changes in the expressions on the faces of the leaders of the Football Association in the second half.  In the first half, you must have been smiling happily, right?
