v1 Chapter 260: Qualify early

"... The 34th Olympic Games will start at Pasadena Stadium in Los Angeles at 8:00 tomorrow morning. Speaking of this stadium, it is also related to our Chinese football. In the 2026 US-Canada World Cup two years ago, the Chinese team was In this stadium and the Brazilian team played a 3:3 tie and then go back, in 1999

The Chinese women's football team once lost to the U.S. team in this stadium, and regrettably missed the world championship. This stadium will also be the venue for the finals of this Olympic football event.

"In the women's football match that ended last night, the girls of the Chinese women's football team played well in the game. They defeated the Norwegian women's football team 4:2 and won a good start in the group stage. In this way, both men's and women's football teams won in this Olympic Games victory.…

After Li Qingqing's camera disappeared from the TV screen, Xie Lan turned his gaze back, and then commented: "What is tacit understanding? This is it! The two of them must have discussed it in private and won together!"

Hu Lixin did not refute his wife's statement, because it would be strange if his son and Li Qingqing did not make an agreement on the Olympics in private.

After all, they are already boyfriend and girlfriend, lovers.

It's normal for lovers to have some little secrets.

Perhaps for both of them, the Olympics was an extra-large "date?

So after Hu Lai scored twice to help the Chinese Olympic team win the first game, Li Qingqing also scored twice to help the women's football team win, he was not surprised at all.

"Let me see, who will we fight after our group qualify?"

Xie Lan began to flip through the battle map she had saved before.

She saw the women's football match first.

A total of twelve participating teams in women's football are divided into three groups. In order to distinguish it from the grouping of men's football matches, the grouping of women's football is arranged from e, which are group e, group f and group g.

The top two teams in each group and the two best third-placed teams advance to the quarterfinals...

The Chinese women's football team was assigned to Group G, and it is the seeded team in Group G.

Xie Lan acquiesced that the Chinese women's football team should be the first in group G, so according to the rules, if the women's football team qualify as the first in the group, they will face a group that is not the third in the group in the quarter-finals. If the third place in Group G is qualified, then the Chinese team that ranks first in Group G will face the third place in Group E or Group F. If the third place in Group G does not qualify, the first place in Group G will face the third place in Group F.

But no matter which group it is against, since it is the third place in the group, its strength must not be much stronger.

The Chinese women's football team has great hopes of advancing to the semi-finals.

Xie Lan was dazzled by the complicated match rules of the women's football team, so she decided to watch the situation of the men's football team.

Compared with the women's football, the rules of the men's football match are very fixed.

cross play.

Xie Lan hopes that the Olympic team can win the first place in the group, although the German Olympic team is also very strong

But when she looked at Group D, she immediately didn't worry about whether the Chinese Olympic team could win first or second, because no matter whether they were first or second, the opponents in the quarter-finals were not easy to fight.

The four teams in Group D are Spain, the runner-up of the last Olympic Games, Brazil, the traditional football powerhouse, Senegal, the representative of Africa, and Chile.

This group is the "group of death" of the Olympic Games. No matter who wins, it's not easy to fight.

Especially the Spanish and Brazilian Olympic teams.

In the last Olympic Games, the Chinese Olympic team was eliminated by the host Spanish Olympic team in the quarter-finals.

Seeing such a result, Xie Lan frowned and let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?" Hu Lixin asked curiously.

"The shape cushion is not good"

Hu Lixin was very surprised: "Isn't this just a win? Why is the situation not good?"

"I mean the knockout situation!"

Hu Lixin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I think too far, I only played one game in the group stage!"

"Why is it so far away? Is there any suspense in the group stage? Except for the last game. As long as you win Fiji again, you will qualify ahead of schedule. The only suspense is whether you are the first or the first." Hu Lixin said: "Yes, first and second The opponents in the second match are different, so it doesn't make sense for you to think so far now..."

"The problem is that there is no difference between the opponents whether they are first or second." Xie Lan showed her husband the four teams in Group D.

After reading it, Hu Lixin also fell into deep thought, and then clicked his tongue.

Xie Lan continued: "The two groups in the lower half have concentrated the European Youth Championship champion Germany, the runner-up Spain, and opponents like Brazil. In comparison, the upper half is simply too easy, just one Argentina. I doubt Maybe the United States took advantage of the host country and arranged such a good lottery for them by playing tricks during the lottery. As Xie Lan said, he suddenly added in a very affirmative tone: "Yes, yes, yes, it must be like this! Dog days of the American Devils! If you can't win the track and field relay race, you will have a rematch.

If you lose, tell your opponent to take medicine... Now the football draw is playing such a dirty trick! Heart is darker than an **** hole, shameless!

Hu Lixin grinned when he heard his wife suddenly yelling at the United States. He originally wanted to say "no conspiracy theory", but when he thought about the series of sarcastic operations from top to bottom in the United States over the years, his words were not only on the sports level. Suddenly I couldn't speak.

It can't be blamed on his wife's conspiracy theory. It's true that the Yankees have never done anything serious over the years.

Judging from their consistent behavior style, it is not unbelievable for the United States to take advantage of the convenience of the host to arrange a relatively easy draw for their team.

With the current group situation, as long as the U.S. team wins the first place in the group, it will definitely be able to avoid Agen, who should be the first in the group, in the quarterfinals, which is basically equivalent to being recommended to the semifinals.

Entering the semi-finals is not far from the goal of winning a medal.

If you are lucky, or if you say "lucky", you can still make it to the finals...

And once they make it to the finals, wouldn't it be unreasonable not to win a gold medal?

So following this logical reasoning, Hu Lixin wanted to follow his wife and scold Yankees.

If you don't react to Hu Lixin, what does it matter to us that Americans are so despicable and shameless? They are in the upper half, unless the Olympic team reaches the semi-finals, it is impossible to meet them. If the Chinese team finishes second in the group stage, they may even meet the hosts only if they reach the final.

So he persuaded: "You, I still think too much. What about the Americans is not something we should consider. Let's talk about it when we really meet...

Xie Lan also knew that she scolded the United States entirely out of a simple national sentiment and anger at the unfavorable situation of the Olympic team in the knockout round.

So she no longer cares about the black **** of Americans.

Let's see how the group stage goes...

On August 7th, the second day after the opening of the Olympic Games, the Olympic team faced their second opponent in the group stage.

The Fiji Olympic team representing Oceania.

The team won last year's Pacific Games football title and also qualified for this year's Olympics.

And what they defeated in the final was the powerful New Zealand Olympic team, which was an upset - you must know that this is the first time for the Fiji Olympic team to participate in the Olympics.

Before the game, almost all voices in China believed that there would be no suspense for the Olympic team to beat Fiji. The only suspense was to win a few goals. After all, in the first round of the group stage, the German Olympic team defeated the Fiji Olympic team 10-0. of. Their main forward Nico Strauy scored five goals in the game. You must know that in the last Olympics, Hu Lai scored five goals in four games and became the "top scorer" of that Olympics.

And now Strauy has completed Houlei's Olympic goal in just one game.

Although the Olympics does not have the honor of "top scorer", fans will still discuss and compare.

Nico Strauy is a talented player trained by the Bundesliga powerhouse Weisserdorf himself, but his fate is ill-fated. The 23-year-old has suffered two serious injuries in his career so far. This has affected the upper limit of his career, so everyone is now more optimistic about Ruhr Rhein's Janus Edman. After all, Edman is younger and physically stronger than Straui.

Before participating in this Olympic Games, Straui had just experienced seven months of injury and recuperation. He scored five goals against Fiji in the Olympic Games, which can somewhat bring him back to some form.

Germany's big victory against Fiji, as well as Strauy's 5 yuan alone, made many people in China think that the Chinese team won Fiji. More balls, otherwise it will be a failure. They say plausibly: "Hu Lai is the Champions League Golden Boot and the La Liga Golden Boot. What does that Strauy have? Since he can score five goals against Fiji, then Hou Lai is better than Fiji. It’s reasonable for him to score more goals, right? You can’t even compare to someone who was seriously injured and missed almost a season? No way, no way? It’s not really comparable, right? In that case, I always feel that Hu Lai has no growth and development at all. Progress? For those who say this, I really don’t know whether they are Hu Lai’s fans or sunspots.

As a response to these people ~lightnovelpub.net~ Hu Lai completed the big four in this game, helping the Chinese Olympic team beat the Fiji Olympic team 8:0.

The Olympic team did not capsize in the gutter, but Hu Lai did not score more goals than Straui, and even lost one...

He didn't play the whole game, and was replaced by head coach Mai Zhaocheng with substitute striker Tian Yuan with 24 minutes left in the game.

When being replaced, Hu Lai showed no dissatisfaction at all.

This shows that he did not want to compete with Straui in the number of goals.

On the contrary, when he left the field with a smile on his face, he frequently waved to the cheering Chinese fans in the stands.

The Olympic team won two games and scored eleven goals without conceding a single goal.

Compared with four years ago, it is indeed a joy to qualify from the group stage so easily.

The number of goals is less than that of Straui. In the eyes of Hu Lai today, that is a trivial matter, which will not affect his mood at all.
