Chapter 357 I Kicked His Temple

Beep, beep, beep! When the three whistles sounded, the Korean players collapsed on the field, and some even covered their faces and cried.

There was no way out, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals, which meant that their dream of being exempted from military service was completely shattered.

As they thought about it, they all stared at Chu Feng who was waving to the fans with resentful eyes.

The hat trick, just like six months ago, wiped out their hopes with absolute personal strength.

But their mood is even worse at this time. After all, the U23 Asian Cup has little value, while the Olympics is attracting worldwide attention.

There is no one who doesn’t want to stand on the podium and sing their national anthem with pride.

But unfortunately, there is always only one winner in a game.

Unlike the Korean players who were feeling hit rock bottom, Chu Feng and his teammates felt so relaxed.

Although I don’t know how far I can go, the farther the better.

When people are in the process of realizing their dreams, they will always feel joy unconsciously, just like the members of the National Olympic Team at this moment.

"If the Olympic schedule wasn't so tight, I would have gone out to celebrate."

Wei Shihao's tone sounded a little bored.

"We can't go to the fun places because the team leader is watching us. I should have brought PS here earlier."

Zhu Chenjie also couldn't hide his loneliness.

They are all young and energetic guys. All they do every day is train, so they definitely want to have some entertainment.

Chu Feng did not participate in their topic. After thanking the fans who came from afar, he followed Lippi to the press conference.

It’s not that he is used to a boring life, but he knows that his current loneliness and boredom are for the sake of avoiding regrets in the future.

Otherwise, when you stand on the court, looking at the lagging score and listening to the final whistle.

Will you suddenly remember that if you hadn’t gone to have fun, would the outcome have been different?

Of course, people who think like this usually live a very tiring life, but it is not easy when a person comes into this world.

Chu Feng is already very fortunate to be able to do the job he likes and realize his dreams, and he doesn't want to have any regrets.

"What happened in the first half was normal. It was the result of the established tactics, so there is nothing to blame."

"On the contrary, we did a good job, defended the midfield, counterattacked very sharply, and the rhythm of the game always went according to our arrangement."

"Chu? Actually, I think the same as Jose. I'm not used to praising him in public. It's not because I'm afraid that he will become proud, but because we all know him."

Lippi did not hide the admiration in his eyes.

Soon, the reporters turned their attention and handed the microphone to Chu Feng.

"What do I want to say? Well, thank you to those who support us, and we will try our best to go as far as possible."

"Will you get bored with scoring goals? Of course not. When you stand on the green field and watch yourself shoot and score a goal, that feeling cannot be concealed by the number. So no matter how many goals I score in the future, I will be excited and thrilled about scoring goals."

"Qualifying for the World Cup? Isn't it a bad idea to talk about this now? After all, our focus now is on the Olympics."

Chu Feng answered simply.

At the same time, in the meeting room next door, Jin Hefan was bowing towards the camera.

"I apologize to the fans and journalists who came from afar that we were not able to return with medals."

"In today's game, we actually expected the Chinese team to be very aggressive, but in the first 60 minutes we controlled the tempo, but we made frequent lateral and short passes and lacked deep through balls, which resulted in low utilization of opportunities."

"But anyway, I think our performance was good enough, but when we performed better, that's when China scored. Since then, the game has become more difficult for us."

"Chu? I don't want to talk about this kind of player. In my opinion, it is unfair that he is participating in the Olympics but Son Heung-min can't come."

"Perhaps the IOC should consider whether players of this level in the Olympics will affect the fairness of competition."

Originally, Jin Hefan could still remain calm, but when he thought of his two hat tricks in two games, he couldn't hold it anymore.

Why?

Our players in the top five leagues are restricted by their clubs and cannot participate in the Olympics, but you can participate without fear?

He felt it was unfair.

Hearing this, the reporters in the audience looked at each other, thinking that Jin Hefan was stupid.

He is under 23 years old and meets all the requirements. Why can't he participate? Just because he is too strong? He is really losing the game and losing face!

At the same time, the results of the games were announced simultaneously at the other three stadiums.

Brazil beat Mexico 1-0 with Anthony scoring a goal.

Spain 6-0 Côte d'Ivoire, Rafamil scored a hat trick, Olmo and others scored.

Japan 2-1 New Zealand, Takefusa Kubo and Wataru Endo each scored a goal.

According to the grouping rules for the upper and lower half, the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals and their opponent is Japan in the same group.

The two favorites to win the championship, Spain and Brazil, met early.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In the evening, with a slightly cool breeze blowing, Chu Feng and his teammates were in the conference room, chatting about future opponents.

"To be honest, Xiao Ri's lineup is better than South Korea's."

After Zhu Chenjie finished speaking, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate, so he decisively shut up and stopped trying to boost the prestige of others.

"Takehide Kubo, Ritsu Doyasu, Ko Endo, Aoi Tanaka, Kaoru Mitsumatra and Maya Yoshida."

Chu Feng browsed through the Japanese team's roster, silently repeating a few names in his mind, thinking that Zhu Chenjie was actually right.

The Japanese team is indeed stronger than the South Korean team, and they are much stronger than others.

Takefusa Kubo, who had just been loaned to Villarreal by Real Madrid, Ritsu Doan, who plays for PSV Eindhoven, and the still unknown Kaoru Mitoma.

Many of them play in the top five leagues, which is completely different from South Korea where Son Heung-min is absent.

But there was no fear at all.

He led Manchester United to dominate the Premier League, and was watched by countless people, but he still managed to make it out in the end? To be honest, his teammates were a bit weak.

But at least there are huge changes compared to before.

In addition, with Lippi leading the team and without any interference from random people, he believes that the National Olympic Team can compete with the Japanese team.

If you win, you will definitely get a gold medal. If you lose, you will have to play in the third place match.

But compared to the Japanese team, he feels that the hope is slim whether they play against Spain or Brazil in the third place match.

So we have to find a way to get rid of the daily necessities.

"Why are you all so sullen? You have to know that we are the host, and the fact that we have come this far is a huge breakthrough!"

"It's not that we should be satisfied with the current achievements, but the pressure of daily life is definitely greater than ours. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Just do it!"

Wei Shihao slammed the table and spoke with great pride.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room was stunned, and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Now his heart might be pounding in his chest, racking his brains to think of how to beat them.

"Well said. We should have the same mentality when we play in the game three days later. Come on!"

Chu Feng smiled and said, then looked at Wei Shihao and teased, "Which position will you play in the next game against Japan?"

Wei Shihao didn't react at first, but after a while he grinned and said, "I kicked him in the temple."

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room, and the atmosphere changed from solemn to relaxed.
