"I think the old man is a little too nervous, right? It's just a Chinese team, as for it? We can qualify in this game as long as we tie the game..."

After the meeting ended, the players of the Argentine National Olympic Team walked back to their rooms in groups of three or three, and after they were far away from head coach Rodrich Rosas, they couldn't wait to talk.

"We can't just be content with qualifying in the group!" said Meli Baner. "If Belgium can defeat Nigeria, we will be the second in the group. If the second in the group appears, if nothing unexpected happens, we should meet the host Spain, which is not an easy opponent. So we not only want to win, but also win with a big score."

Meli said so, so it is natural for others to say anything else.

After each returned to his room, Ramon Cantero, who lived in the same room with Meli, asked curiously: "Melly, have you really not scored five goals in nine minutes?"

Merley shook her head: "No."

“Not in the junior competition?”

"It shouldn't be..." This time, Meli Banerga thought about it for a moment, but shook his head, "At least I don't remember anything like this."

"Is anyone really able to score so many goals in such a short time?" Cantero said with a frown. "Can they be a lie?"

Meli looked at his friend and shook his head with a smile: "I have heard of this, saying that the player scored five goals in nine minutes in the Olympic qualifiers. I think since it is an Olympic qualifier, there should be no possibility of fraud. The value of the game is also guaranteed. He has the strength in real life..."

Cantero shook his head and interrupted Meli: "I don't agree, Meli. I don't agree with the statement that he is capable. He is just a lucky bastard. From the video of the game that the old man showed us, I didn't see at all that this person has the ability to do what you didn't do."

Meli didn't plan to continue the topic anymore, he shook his head: "Does he have the strength? Will you know when we play against them?"

"That's right. I'll open my eyes and look at it." Cantero was still very dissatisfied with his words, as if he was unhappy because an unknown young man who came out of nowhere actually stole the limelight from his good friend.

"Then don't forget the game." Merley joked.

"Of course we won't forget. We will slaughter them, not only to win, but also to win!"

The players have left the conference room, and now there are only members of the coaching staff of the National Olympic Team, and there are no outsiders left.

Assistant coach Li Zhifei asked Shi Wuyin: "How confident do you think we are to defeat Argentina?"

Shi Wuyin stretched out a finger: "One percent?"

Li Zhifei sighed: "Fortunately, we set the group qualifying as a goal early in the morning, otherwise this last game would have been a complete formality. Now... at least... the players can still fight hard and not lose too ugly."

"Yes, young people have to hang themselves in that breath."

"Carrots on the stick?"

Shi Wuyin heard Li Zhifei joking, and then sighed: "Actually, I am very satisfied with their performance in this Olympics. It was a surprise to be able to tie Nigeria in the first game. It was normal to lose to Belgium in the second game, but it was already amazing to lose only one goal. These young people have done more than we imagined. You haven't seen the unprecedented relaxation of the domestic media's atmosphere for the national Olympic team... In the past, it was rare that the team could still have such treatment after losing."

He is talking about the voices in the domestic media and the Internet.

After the Chinese Olympic team lost to the Belgian Olympic team, domestic media did not criticize the team's performance. Fans also expressed regrets online, but few people would scold the team.

After all, the gap in strength between the two sides is there, and the performance of the Chinese National Olympic Team in the game is there. As long as you are not blind and your mind is not bad, you should know how amazing it is for the Chinese National Olympic Team to lose only one goal to the Belgian National Olympic Team.

Of course, such a loose public opinion environment has a lot to do with the performance of the Chinese Olympic team's performance of falling behind twice in the first game, and finally tied Nigeria.

Then Shi Wuyin said seriously: "But because of our performance like this, we must keep it in the last game and we must not be in a bad mood. In the last game, regardless of the outcome, we must show our style. Only in this way can we live up to the trust of the people of the whole country!"

He said this a bit heavy, and every coach in the conference room felt a little pressure.

The Olympics have been around for a week, and all individual competitions are in full swing, and some events have also won gold medals.

Olympic athletes bring glory to the country has also become a hot topic on China's domestic Internet. On various social platforms, "Olympics" has become the hottest hot search terms.

Against this background, the popularity of the National Olympic Team is not inferior to that of those world champions.

In the past, the Olympics had basically nothing to do with the Chinese men's football team. The excitement was the excitement of others. Just don't come out to make things difficult for Chinese football at this time. I also want to become the favorite of everyone... What kind of dreams of spring and autumn?

However, at this Olympic Games, the popularity of the topics about the Chinese national Olympic team has always remained high. With the arrival of the last group stage, it has reached the top of various hot topics, even surpassed the gossip of entertainment stars, and surpassed the hot searches that some variety shows spent money to buy.

When Chinese football fell into a quagmire trough, many people wondered why football could be considered the world's number one sport. They felt that at least in China, the influence of football has long been no longer good, and in terms of sports, it was left ten streets by basketball.

But now looking at the grand occasion on the Internet, you will know that it is not that football is not good, but that Chinese football was not good in the past...

I don’t know how many Chinese fans can become the protagonist in the Olympics. In the past, they didn’t even dare to say anything, for fear that the men’s football team would be caught and whipped the corpse. If anything happens, the men’s football team can always become the target of satirization.

Although the men's football team is indeed bad, if they are ridiculed so unscrupulously, most fans will still care about it very much.

Now, they have a sense of pride - the serfs turn over and sing!

Watching TV, everyone on the Internet is concerned about the match between the National Olympic Team and Argentina, they are flattered.

In fact, they were all relieved about what the match between the Chinese National Olympic Team and the Argentine National Olympic Team would be. This scene is enough for them to brag for a long time.

After all, the Argentine National Olympic Team is very strong and there is also a talented player recognized as the world's number one genius player. They are considered to be excellent if the National Olympic Team loses only three goals.

Matt Dawn hasn't received a call from Tony Clark in a long time.

Since the latter left Hammond Castle, he has disappeared and has no contact. He can't find news about Clark in the news.

But at this moment, Matt received another call from Tony.

"I thought you had forgotten me, Tony." Matt complained.

"Sorry, Matt. I originally wanted to go directly to Hammond Castle to find you, but I just found out that you have left the company." Tony Clark's apology voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"The club has changed a lot of people, and the new head coach doesn't pay much attention to my job, so it doesn't matter if I stay there. So I quit." Matt briefly explained the reason for his resignation and asked, "Where are you? Where have you been in the past six months?"

"I went to a coaching training class organized by the FA and recharged myself." Tony smiled, "I didn't understand it very much before, but now I understand it. I used to be intuitive and now formed a theory and put it in my mind."

"That's really congratulations, Tony. You've upgraded now."

"Yes, I not only upgraded myself, but my job has also been upgraded!"

"Job? Have you found a job?"

"That's why I called you, Matt Leeds (Note 1) came to me and hope I can be their head coach."

Matt Dawn was stunned for a moment: "Leeds? Leeds City?"

"Who else can there be? There is only one professional team in Leeds!"

"But it's the Premier League team!" Matt shouted.

"Or why would I say that my job has been upgraded? I have signed with them. From now on, please call me the Premier League coach, Matt. Haha!" Tony Clark was very happy.

"Why did they look for you?"

“当年他们在英冠的时候,我曾经率领球队痛揍了他们,可能因此反而让他们爱上了我吧……上赛季他们成功保级,留在了英超,于是就请我去做他们的主教练了!”

"Wait, Tony. It's not that I look down on you... I just think it's strange that Lauren Galley did a good job in Leeds City and led the team to relegation successfully. Why is it your turn to be the head coach?" Matt discovered the blind spot.

"Well... this, after Galley relegated, he did not reach an agreement with the club on a new contract, so he resigned and left..."

"Ah? When did it happen?"

"Just five days ago..."

Matt Dawn patted his forehead. He came to Spain to watch the Olympics and did not pay much attention to the news about the domestic football world in England. Unexpectedly, when Tony said it now, he felt a little out of touch with the world.

"I heard you say that, I feel that the job of this head coach is not easy to do. Tony... The one you want to replace is a meritorious coach who leads the team to advance to the top and leads the team to relegation."

"Of course I know, that's why I called you, Matt. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to leave in Hammond Castle, but now that you're free, I want to ask... would you like to be my video analyst? Just like we did in Hammond Castle."

Video analyst at Premier League clubs?

Matt Dawn felt his heart beat rapidly a few times.

"I need you to help me, Matt... I can't handle so many things alone..."

It seemed that seeing Matt remained silent and thought he was hesitant, Tony hurriedly begged.

"But Tony, I can't sign a contract with Leeds City now." Matt came back to his senses and said.

"Why?"

"Because I'm in Spain now!"

"Spain? What are you doing in Spain?"

"I'll watch Lai Hu's game."

"Lai Hu?" Tony Clark on the other end of the phone was stunned, "Who is that?"

"Five goals in nine minutes." Matt said the keyword.

Tony suddenly woke up: "Oh-it's him! Wait, is he participating in the Olympics? Has the Chinese team reached the Olympics?"

Matt sighed: "Tony, I suspect you are not going to the FA's training class, but the yoga of the world."

"Uh..." Tony felt a little embarrassed, "I just don't care much about Chinese football... So how did the Lai Hu you care about perform at the Olympics?"

"One goal and one assist helped the team draw against Nigeria."

“Sounds good.”

"It's pretty good... Wait, I came up with an idea, Tony. I really can't go back to England to sign with you because I have to stay in Spain and wait to see tomorrow's third group match, the Chinese team and Argentina game. If you are interested, why not bring a contract to Valencia, let's watch the game together, and then sign the contract?" Matt Dawn said. "You have heard me talk about Lai Hu many times before, but you have never watched him play football on the spot, right? This is a great opportunity, and it may be the last chance."

"Are there any tickets?"

"Of course, there are no full stands in every game. If you are sure, I can buy you the tickets now."

"Of course, I'll see what the player you like so much is like in reality!"

Note 1: Because in reality, many British teams are named directly by the place name of their location, and I do not make foreign place names, so when I make up a fictional book on Chinese foreign clubs, many times the names of those familiar teams are really unavoidable.

For example, Liverpool Football Club is located in Liverpool City. I can’t deliberately avoid the city of Liverpool in order to avoid conflicts with Liverpool Football Club when setting up, saying that it is one of the eight core cities in the UK and there is not even a top professional team, right?

The same is true for the abbreviation. Leeds United and Newcastle United, we will all call Leeds and Newcastle abbreviated, rather than Manchester United like Manchester United.

So some clubs may have the same names or abbreviations as real clubs in this world, but this does not mean that the clubs in the book are clubs in reality. Please don’t think of them as the same.

Leeds City and Leeds United in the book are not the same. If you encounter similar situations in the future, I won’t explain them more. Please let us agree with this rule - even if the names are the same, they are not the same team.
