When Li Qingqing came out from the exit of the terminal, she saw enthusiastic fans and media reporters.
When the latter saw her appear, they swarmed over, extended the microphone in front of her, and asked warmly, "Is Qingqing tired from the journey?"
Despite the exhaustion, Li Qingqing still cheered up, smiled and shook his head in front of the reporters: "Not tired, I slept on the plane."
Seeing Li Qingqing's smile, it seemed that he was really not affected by the journey, and many reporters were relieved.
The next game is really important for the Chinese women's football team.
They must beat the Australian women's football team at home to qualify for the Olympic Games.
No wonder the reporters are so concerned about Li Qingqing's physical condition.
As the only overseas player in the team, in order to participate in the competition, she had to fly across the entire Eurasian continent. The exhaustion of the journey coupled with the jet lag, it is normal for her to perform poorly in the game.
But if Li Qingqing doesn’t perform well, the Chinese women’s football team wants to qualify for the Olympics this time. Who would have thought that the Chinese women’s football team, who has never missed every Olympic Games, would face the same dilemma as men’s football ?
Because of the poor performance of the team before, the direct competitor Australian women's football team was bitten very tightly.
"Qingqing, do you have any prospects for the next game?"
Li Qingqing originally wanted to reflexively say hello, hello, everyone, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she thought of Hu Lai’s chat with her on WeChat:
I’ll tell you that I have won the Olympic Games. Qualification, if you can't make it to the Olympics, you will owe me sixty meals!"
At that time, Li Qingqing protested: "Why is it sixty meals?!"
"Because this agreement was originally proposed by you, and I completed it, but if you let me go, you will have to pay double the responsibility!"
Thinking of this, Li Qingqing confidently said to reporters: "We will definitely go to Madrid!"
This is also her reply to Hu Lai on WeChat.
Seeing Li Qingqing’s direct and confident reply, the reporters looked at each other, always feeling that they were a little different from Li Qingqing’s usual style...
But everyone was very happy to hear Li Qingqing say this.
I hope that the women's football performance in the qualifiers this time is just a small episode, and eventually they can successfully go to Madrid to participate in the Olympics.
Otherwise, the men's football team went to the Olympics this time, but the women's football team did not. What a pity!

"Why are they all old faces?" While eating in the restaurant, Hu Lai and his teammates greeted each other, and then sat down and questioned Wang Guangwei at the same table.
"The set of investigating new players can no longer be used at this stage." Wang Guangwei explained to him. "August is the Olympic Games, July will be a training camp. What newcomers are still being inspected now? All those who should be inspected have been inspected, and those who feel capable of entering the Olympic team are here. Now even if there are any newcomers , You won’t be recruited if you give guidance."
"Then Xiaoyu didn't have the chance to participate in the Olympics?" Hu Lai felt sorry for his younger brother.
"This is also no way. What do people think about the newcomers now? I think the National Olympic team has not fixed even the most basic lineup, how can it get good results in the Olympics? And I think it is small It is a good thing for Director Zhao if Yu does not come to participate in the Olympics, otherwise we will all be gone by then, how can we play in the league?"
"Eh, do you think Brother Huan will follow us to Madrid as an over-age player?" Chen Xingyi asked next to him.
"Nine times out of ten...so Xiaoyu can't go anymore, he has to guard the house! Otherwise, when we come back, the house will be stolen, and he will play a fart!"
Wang Guangwei’s analysis is right. For the current National Olympic team, the focus is no longer on investigating new players, but on the basis of the existing lineup, constantly deepening the tacit understanding between players and the ability to understand and execute tactics.
So this time against the Serbian Olympic team, Shi Wuyin not only did not recruit a newcomer, but he also looked down on the result of this warm-up match.
He chose completely different tactics and staffing in the first half and second half of the game.
Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi started the game. Chen Xingyi scored a goal for the Chinese team in the game, but it did not change his fate of being replaced with Hu Lai during the intermission.
Wang Guangwei came off the bench in the second half and finished the game.
In such a fierce rotation, it is reasonable for the Olympic team to lose 1:2 to the impressive Serbian Olympic team.
In the eyes of professionals, this is not surprising.
The performance of this game itself is not what everyone values, they pay more attention to the performance of the players in the game, is the players' understanding and implementation of Shi Wuyin's tactics.
From this point of view, the performance of the Olympic team boys is pretty good.
Basically, the task of this training warm-up match has been completed.
※※※
After the players of the Olympic team finished the afternoon game, they returned to the hotel and then disbanded. They will return to their club, wait for June to regroup, play two warm-up matches, and disband again. Then in July, I came to the Olympic team to report for a month of training to prepare for the Olympics.
After Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi and Wang Guangwei passed the security check, they found a KFC and waited for the plane while eating dinner.
With their respective dinner plates, the three of them just sat down at a table in the corner when Hu Lai took out his mobile phone, put on the wireless Bluetooth headset, and skillfully opened the live broadcast software.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Xingyi leaned forward curiously, but at a glance he saw Li Qingqing's close-up on the screen of the phone. "Oh, look at Li Qingqing."
Upon hearing his words, Wang Guangwei also cast his eyes on the screen of the mobile phone: "There is a women's football game today? Oh, yes, the key game for the Olympic qualification... How is the score? It's 0:0? It's the second half. ..."
"The commentator said Li Qingqing was in trouble." Hu Lai said, taking off half of his headphones.
Chen Xingyi and Wang Guangwei changed positions and moved to Hu Lai's side, holding hamburgers in their hands, and staring intently at the small mobile phone screen.
※※※
Li Qingqing got up from the ground, and there were no clean spots in her jersey shorts.
In this game, as the core of the Chinese team's midfielder and the number one star, she received the key care of the Australian women's football team. At least there was one person by her side, and for a long time there were even four people defending her. It was like she was locked up The same as in the cage.
The referee called an Australian female football player a foul, and the player who was called the foul is appealing to the referee. She believes that she did not foul, but Li Qingqing was too unconscious.
At the same time, she glanced at Li Qingqing, hoping to see an anxious and angry mood on Li Qingqing's face.
This is the team's tactical goal, which is to use physical confrontations and fouls to make Li Qingqing lose his mind.
As long as Li Qingqing can't play normally, the Chinese team's offense will fall into a quagmire.
In this game, whoever wins can go to Madrid. Naturally, the tactical design is omnipotent.
Australia's goal is to destroy Li Qingqing.
But what surprised the foul player was that Li Qingqing, who got up from the ground, patted the grass clippings on his jersey, but there was no worried expression on his face. The referee was only a verbal warning instead of a card warning. There is no dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, her teammates seem to be more angry than her...
In the next game, what surprised the Australian female football player was that Li Qingqing not only was not scared by herself, but also came specifically at her. When Li Qingqing drove the ball forward, the goal was obviously Yourself!
This little girl...
She decided to give the other side a real look.
So she greeted her and tried to use her physical advantage to stop Li Qingqing again. It didn't matter if she was fouled again. She must not let the little girl's momentum come up, she must be afraid!
But when she rushed up, she was swayed by Li Qingqing with a very clean emergency stop.
The Australian female football player who slammed into Li Qingqing so hard, she lost her balance and fell out...
The Phoenix Football Stadium in Yunyang City, Zechu Province was originally the home stadium of the Yunyang Phoenix Club, but now it is the home stadium of the Chinese women's football team. The stadium, which can accommodate 30,000 people, sat halfway. At this time, 15,000 spectators cheered Li Qingqing with the greatest decibels, and the aggrieved and dissatisfied that their goddess was knocked to the ground time and time again. All vented out.
The three Olympic team players in front of the phone screen couldn't help but exclaimed: "I'm going! Beautiful!"
Li Qingqing, who had formed a breakthrough, did not go straight to Huanglong, but took advantage of the opportunity of the opposing defensive player to surround him, stretched his foot and stabbed the football to the front right, giving the Chinese team forward Ni Sumei.
Because Australia's defensive focus has been placed on Li Qingqing, Ni Sumei is in a void.
After receiving a pass from Li Qingqing, she headed into the penalty area. Facing the weak defensive strength, she calmly started. The football flew into the goal from the upper back corner and the Chinese team took the lead!
Amidst the roar of cheers, the door leading to Madrid, which was originally tightly closed, was finally loosened slightly.
※※※
After losing the ball, the Australian women's football team strengthened their counterattack. For a time, the Chinese team was very passive. The girls of the Chinese women's football team even tried to block their opponents from scoring.
In this intense atmosphere, the game came to the last ten minutes.
The game was still 1:0, and the Chinese team took the lead temporarily.
Wang Guangwei suddenly raised his head: "Hey, did you say on the radio that our flight has started boarding?"
"I don't know." Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi did not lift their heads, and continued to stare at the phone screen, appearing to be indifferent.
Seeing that the two of them were too unreliable, Wang Guangwei took out his mobile phone and checked the flight information through Air Travel.
So he reminded both of them: "It's really boarding, we should go."
Chen Xingyi had to stand up: "Let's go then..." His eyes were still staring at Hu Lai's phone screen reluctantly.
At this moment, when Li Qingqing made a breakthrough in the middle of the live broadcast, he was pulled to the ground by an Australian player. The Chinese team won a free kick 32 meters from the goal in the center.
Hu Lai raised his hand: "Wait a minute, read this offense."
"Okay!" Chen Xing lied and sat down again.
"Then you have to leave after watching..." Wang Guangwei had to stand beside him while continuing to watch the game while waiting for his two teammates.
From the airport broadcast above his head, it was heard again that "Passengers taking flight 3U8962 from Shanhai to Jincheng, your plane has already started boarding, please bring your luggage..."
Wang Guangwei thought to himself, fortunately, here is relatively close to the boarding gate, and there is no need to cross half of the terminal building, otherwise he would really drag two people and leave.
On the mobile screen, the Australian women's football players have lined up a wall in the penalty area, while on the Chinese team's side, Li Qingqing bent over and placed the football on the place marked by the referee with spray.
It seems that she will personally take the free kick she won.
※※※
After placing the football, Li Qingqing got up and backed up to make room for a run-up.
Then she stood with hands on hips, turned to look at the referee, and waited for the referee to blow his whistle.
In the stands of the Phoenix Stadium, the shouts were suddenly much lower, and many fans couldn't help but relax their breathing.
In the quiet scene, the crisp whistle sound was especially clear.
The whistle sounded, and Li Qingqing took a deep breath, exhaled the breath in his chest, and then began to run.
After a very simple two-step approach, she hit the football with her left foot!
The football then soared into the air, surpassing the Australian wall that was struggling to take off, and then fell rapidly, as if a cruise missile drilled out of the clouds, heading towards the Australian goal!
Although the Australian goalkeeper struggled to take off, she was blocked by the wall. The time to take off was too late. Now she is still far from football, and she can't reach her by stretching her arms as much as possible.
It seems to be just a failed dying struggle...
The football flew into the Australian goal amidst the huge cheers that could not wait to ring!
"Pretty!!! Beautiful!! Li Qingqing used such a beautiful free kick to score directly~EbookFREE.me~ Almost locked the ticket to Madrid for the Chinese team!" Hu Lai's headset shouted excitedly from the speaker. .
He vaguely heard the exclamation of Chen Xingyi and Wang Guangwei.
"I'm going, this ball is beautiful! Elevator ball! It is also a top-notch world wave in the men's football game!" Chen Xingyi quickly offered his knee.
Wang Guangwei also forgot to remind him of boarding the plane, and looked at the small mobile phone screen dumbfounded: "Li Qingqing is too strong!"
After scoring Li Qingqing ran to the corner flag area, and then surrounded by his teammates, hugging and celebrating.
The old coach Yan Encai rushed out of the coaching bench, then excitedly took off his lucky hat and threw it to the sky. The pressure accumulated on him by the team's poor performance in the qualifiers was also thrown out of the sky with this action.
After embracing every teammate who came up to celebrate, Li Qingqing followed them back to her half. On the way back, she raised her palm to the sky, then retracted her four fingers, leaving only her little finger upright, slightly bent.
Then she looked up at the sky and smiled at the face that didn't exist in the night sky.
As agreed, Hu Lai, I am going to Madrid too!
Hang on the hook, see you in Madrid!
※※※
"Li Qingqing's celebration is really unique, what does this mean? 666?" Chen Xingyi guessed.
"Isn't the six gesture compared with the thumb and the little finger? How can it be compared with the little finger?" Wang Guangwei corrected his guess next to him.
Hu Lai did not participate in their speculation, but got up and put away the phone: "Go, go home!"
Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi followed him with their suitcases, still speculating about the meaning of Li Qingqing's gesture.
Hu Lai, who was walking in front of them, grinned.
