Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 257: Differences between 4 years ago and now

"Meli—! The goal is in! Meli scored his first goal in this Olympic Games!"

"3:0! With fifteen minutes left in the game, the Argentine Olympic team had already led the South Korean Olympic team by three goals. There is no suspense for them to win the first game of the Olympic Games! Meli continued his Good form at the club this season, and compared to four years ago, he has become more mature and scoring better!"

"Before the start of the Olympic Games, Meli was interviewed by the media. He admitted that he participated in the Olympic Games as an overage player just to win the gold medal... With the state he showed in the first game, the current Argentine Olympic team There is indeed a chance to hit the gold medal!"

"For Meli himself, this is his last chance to participate in the Olympics, and it is also his last chance to win the Olympic championship... I think this may be the main reason why Meli is in good condition and high-spirited in today's game! "

Before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was held, football was already in full swing.

In Group A, the host United States drew 0-0 with Egypt in the first round. Japan and Sweden also drew 0:0.

Argentina 3-0 South Korea in Group B, Meli had one goal and one assist. In another game, South Africa and Russia also drew 0:0.

In the first four games of the first half of the group stage, there were no goals in three of them.

Then there should be four group matches in the lower half.

The Chinese Olympic team is in Group C in the lower half.

According to the competition rules of the Olympic Games, after entering the knockout stage, the two qualified teams in the upper half of the group will fight against each other, and the same is true for the lower half.

The first in Group A played against the second in Group B, and the second in Group A played against the first in Group B.

The first in Group C will play against the second in Group D, and the second in Group C will play against the first in Group D.

After the semi-finals are determined, they will cross-match again, with the winners of the first in Group A and the second in Group B playing against the winners of the first in Group C and second in Group D.

The winner of second place in Group A and first place in Group B will play against the winner of second place in Group C and first place in Group D.

According to this rule, it is really possible for Meli and Hou Lai to meet in the Olympics.

Of course, the premise is that they all have to qualify from the group stage.

In the last Olympics, Argentina failed to qualify.

Of course, the start of the Argentine Olympic team is much better than four years ago, when they shook hands with the Belgian Olympic team 1:1 in the first round of the group stage.

Now at least three goals win the South Korean team.

You only need to win one more game to qualify early.

The opponent of the Chinese Olympic team in the first round of the group stage is Honduras, the second-ranked team in the group, and the Chinese Olympic team is ranked in the third rank in this group. The fourth tier team is Fiji, and Germany is the first tier.

Therefore, the result of the match between the Olympic team and Honduras is largely related to whether they can successfully qualify from the group.

If the Olympic team can beat Honduras and play Fiji in the second game, it should not be a problem. In this way, before the final round of the group match against Germany, the Olympic team has already accumulated six points and qualified ahead of schedule. The result of the match against the German team has changed It's not that important.

But if the Olympic team fails to win Honduras, even if it is a tie, they will have to beat Germany in the final round.

As the champion of the last U21 European Youth Championship, Germany's strength should not be underestimated.

Li Qingqing and Xu Wen walked into the conference room of the hotel together, looking at the teammates who had already been seated, Xu Wen said with emotion: "Oh, I really miss...the Madrid Olympic Games four years ago, we also watched the Olympic team games together like this. Unexpectedly, it has been four years in a flash..."

After the teammates sitting in the front row heard her emotion, they turned their heads and said, "There is still a difference. Last year we played first, but this time the Olympic team played first."

"We got off to a good start last year, and I hope the Olympic team can also get off to a good start this time!"

"It shouldn't be a problem, right? Honduras is not strong..." Xu Wen curled her lips.

"Hey, you can't say that. Honduras eliminated Mexico to qualify for the Olympics. The level of the national team cannot be simply linked to the level of the Olympic team."

The teammates in the conference room were discussing the upcoming game enthusiastically.

On the projection screen, the scene of the live TV broadcast has been cut in.

Players from both sides are waiting to play in the player tunnel.

The broadcast camera scanned the players on both sides one by one, and stayed on Hu Lai for a few more seconds, giving a big close-up picture.

Obviously the Olympic broadcasting organization also knows who this is, and is very clear about his status in this team.

It can even be said that Hu Lai is the most dazzling star in this game.

Not to mention that the opponent is Honduras, even if it is the German Olympic team, Hu Lai's weight is also the top.

The narrator of the TV station in the United States is introducing Hu Lai to everyone based on this scene. Li Qingqing's English can barely understand a few words, but it is enough for her to guess what the narrator is talking about.

"...the number one hero of Chinese football...the La Liga Golden Boot...the top scorer in the Champions League...the most threatening person..."

This suddenly reminded Li Qingqing of the scary titles of European and American nobles, and then changed it in her mind, so what the TV commentator said became to her:

"Ladies and gentlemen, what appears before your eyes is the number one hero of Chinese football, the golden boot of La Liga in the 2027-2028 season, the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League in the same season, and the creator of the record of scoring twice in four consecutive UEFA Champions League games , The most threatening person in this game... Hu Lai!"

Thinking of this, Li Qingqing was amused by her own imagination.

"Oh, what a sweet smile!"

It wasn't until Xu Wen's voice came from his ear that Li Qingqing came back to his senses.

She glared at Xu Wen.

"What did you think of, laughing so happily?" Xu Wen asked.

"Thinking of being able to watch Hu Lai's game again, I'm happy!" Facing Xu Wen who was stern and shameless, Li Qingqing simply hit the ball straight.

Xu Wen froze for a moment, then frowned: "Oh, I'm so stunned!"

The teammates next to him laughed and said, "You asked for it, Wenwen!"

During the frolicking, Li Qingqing smiled happily.

It's not because she successfully teased Xu Wen, but because this time she no longer has to hide and hide from anyone, and can express her support for Hu Lai openly.

If Hu Lai scores a goal, she doesn't have to hide herself among her teammates, no matter how loudly she shouts, the celebration is intense

Don't care that such a move will arouse the surprised eyes of the teammates around you.

It's only been four years, and a lot of things have happened in these four years...

Hu Lai withdrew from the system's field of vision, and the thick white light chain connecting him with his teammates disappeared, and his vision immediately became much clearer.

Just now he used 300,000 points to buy ten [Consonance Cards], and then used them all for his teammates.

In addition, he also equipped himself with [Pierced Giant Bear Jersey] and [Damaged Giant Bear Legguards].

There is no [lover's red string], because the red string is already on his wrist now, and there is no need to exchange it.

This wave cost him a total of 360,000 points.

But Hu Lai didn't have to worry about not having enough points.

Last season, he completed the task of scoring goals in every round of the league and scored 1.2 million points. In addition, he also completed the first two steps of the left-foot goal series task, and scored a total of 60,000 points.

This has already accumulated him 1.26 million points.

But this is not the main reason, or the whole reason, that makes Hu Lai "rich and powerful".

Last season, Hu Lai won the La Liga Golden Boot and La Liga Championship, as well as the Champions League Golden Boot, which gave him an extra 1.5 million points.

This is what Hu Lai didn't discover until the end of the season.

Because the system did not issue any tasks for the league and scorer list before. During the long season, the system only released a few tasks, which made Hu Lai think that the system had hibernated.

As a result, he didn't realize until the end of the season that it was not hibernation, or that the task was not issued, but that the way the task was issued had changed.

From the previous process of posting tasks, completing tasks by himself, and getting rewards, it has become that when he completes a certain achievement, he will be given corresponding rewards.

Some of these rewards are points, and some are in kind.

In short... There are no more tasks, and Hu Lai doesn't know if he will be rewarded, unless he goes to the list in the achievement system and then finds out.

But in fact, there is no need to do this. As long as he performs normally and completes a certain achievement, he will automatically receive rewards.

As for why the system became like this, Hu Lai guessed that it might be because he didn't want to "spoiler" by releasing tasks.

After all, every time Hu Lai saw a task posted before, he felt as if it indicated that he would be able to complete it.

Although there have also been failures in the Asian Cup missions, but after all, they are very few - so many missions failed in this one time.

Now it is changed to send rewards by completing a certain achievement, which greatly reduces the risk of being spoiled, and at the same time allows Hu Lai to focus more on football itself.

The three achievements of La Liga, La Liga Golden Boot, and Champions League Golden Boot each brought him 500,000 points, adding up to 1.5 million.

But this does not mean that as long as Hu Lai wins the La Liga championship or wins the La Liga Golden Boot in the future, there must be 500,000 points.

When collecting points, the three achievements of "Win a La Liga Championship", "Win a La Liga Golden Boot", and "Win a Champions League Golden Boot" have been highlighted, and there are small words below that say "rewards cannot be repeated".

That is to say, if Hu Lai intends to repeatedly earn achievements, he is not allowed.

But it doesn't mean that if he wins the La Liga championship and the La Liga Golden Boot in the future~lightnovelpub.net~, he won't benefit at all.

There are all kinds of weird achievements in the achievement system, and there is always one that suits Hu Lai.

For example, "Successfully defending the La Liga championship", "La Liga three consecutive championships", "Won the La Liga Golden Boot for three consecutive seasons", "Win the La Liga Golden Boot for five consecutive seasons", "Scoring 100 goals in La Liga"... Such achievements , as long as it can be completed, you can also get valuable rewards.

"It's time to play! Come on, come on!"

Cai Shuyi, captain of the Olympic team, yelled, slapped his hands hard, and walked forward with the referee team.

Behind him, other Olympic team players started to keep up.

Holly is among them.

The Honduran players around him stopped staring at him and walked forward together.

The first Olympic match between the two teams is about to begin!
