The final opponent is the host Brazil team. This result is both unexpected and reasonable. In comparison, what is more eye-catching is the contest between Li Zhao and Neymar, which everyone is looking forward to

Let's see who is stronger and weaker between these two.

Although the two had had contact before, they were basically informal meetings, but there had never been such a direct dialogue and competition, and this final championship match just fulfilled everyone's expectations.

Naturally, there are many local Brazilians among Li Zhao's fans, but their mood at the moment seems much more complicated. They hope that Li Zhao can perform well and that the Brazilian team will eventually win the championship, but it is obviously not possible to have both.

It's so easy, and such contradictory psychology can even drive some people crazy.

As the most important core figures of the two teams, Li Zhao and Neymar secretly had a meeting in advance before the game, and the meeting place was chosen at a small fitness club not far from the Olympic Village.

.

"I admit that you are indeed getting better and better, even surpassing my achievements at this age, but your stage is still here in South America, and you can only go to a higher level stage like the European League.

Really appreciate the difference.

Although I am very optimistic about your future, you should still be no match for me now. I will defeat you on the field. Moreover, our team is much stronger in terms of overall strength, so we are determined to win the championship this time."

Neymar appeared aggressive as soon as he came up, trying to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.

"I have wanted to compete with you for a long time, but I have never had such an opportunity. I originally thought that this situation would not happen until at least I landed in the European League, but I didn't expect that I would be here now.

We met in advance. I will go all out to win this game, and I hope you can show your full strength by then." Li Zhao did not accept this trick at all, and these words of the other party only aroused his desire to win.

Heart, tit for tat without giving in.

"Haha, it is a good thing for young people to have confidence, but they must also recognize the reality. If you can beat me, then I will hang out with you when you get to the European League." Neymar further bet.

Although he is only six years older than Li Zhaolai, he still thinks he has the qualifications of an elder.

"Okay, if I lose, it's okay to follow you and mix it up. All we have to do is wait until the day after tomorrow to see the real results!" Li Zhao also responded in the same way.

Although the two of them refused to give in to each other and made harsh words in the conversation just now, they were doing it just to win the game. In fact, they did not take it too seriously, and it would not affect their private friendly relationship.

In the blink of an eye, August 20th came, and the third-place match was held before the championship game. Although Nigeria had completely lost in the previous quarter-finals, the African Lions faced South Americans like Honduras.

The team in the second level was still not at a disadvantage at all, and finally defeated the opponent 3-2 and won the third place.

At 5:30 pm, the final championship final between Brazil and Portugal officially started.

I have to say that the Brazilian team's lineup this time is indeed very strong, even better than the German team they encountered before. In addition to Neymar, Luan Vera, Jesus and other people's offense

Their abilities are also very outstanding, and there are no shortcomings in defense. On the other hand, the Portuguese team, which has the experience of playing the German team last time, is obviously not something that the opponent can easily handle. The two sides want to completely attack each other from the front.

Defending the line is not an easy task, so this is destined to be a very difficult game. Which side can make the breakthrough first depends on their luck and opportunities.

Both sides played relatively conservatively in the first twenty minutes, and the scene was even dull. It was not until the 26th minute of the game that the Brazilian team got a very good free kick opportunity in the frontcourt and took the lead to break the situation.

kind of calm.

Free kicks are a powerful tool for breaking through tight defenses, and Neymar, who took the kick, is also a master of midfield. His direct shot was of extremely high quality, easily bypassing the wall and drifting towards the upper right corner of the goal.

It flew close to the door frame and flew into the net. Goalkeeper Varela had tried his best to stretch his arms to the extreme, but he could not reach the ball, and he was left in vain.

Being 0-1 behind was obviously extremely disadvantageous for the Portuguese side, but they did not disorganize themselves because of this, and still patiently looked for opportunities in the next game. They just wanted to equalize the score in a short time.

It was obviously not easy to come back, and they failed to achieve this goal until the end of the first half.

Although the team is lagging behind, Rui, the coach of the Portuguese Olympic team, is not too impatient. He also encouraged the players during the halftime break: "Although the Brazilian team did a good job defensively, and

They rarely give us comfortable shooting opportunities, but they are not without flaws. Under such a high-tempo offense and defense, they will always have moments of relaxation. So don't be anxious, there are still 45 minutes in the second half, and I don't believe it.

They can keep going, and as long as we don't give up and work hard for it, the opportunity will come up, and all we have to do is seize it when the time comes."

When Rui said this, he paused, then looked at Li Zhao, who had become the newly promoted vice-captain of the Olympic team, and said encouragingly: "Richard, everyone knows that this game is actually about you on the other hand."

A battle with Neymar. He has proven his quality in the first half and you have to respond."

"Put it down, coach, I will definitely get back on the field in the second half." Li Zhao was full of confidence in this, and as the vice-captain, he had to set an example at this time.

Then Rui looked around the crowd and continued: "It is indeed not easy for us to get to this point. Perhaps this last battle is also the last time in their Olympic career for many players, so please be sure to

Grit your teeth and persevere, I believe no one wants to end this with regrets!"

"I don't want to!" The team members responded in unison, and it seemed that the morale that had been somewhat relaxed before had improved again.

After returning to the court in the second half, the Portuguese team really hit a small climax, and even overpowered the Brazilian team's offensive at one point, creating several threatening shots. If it weren't for a lack of luck, maybe it would have been possible.

Hopefully we can even the score during this period.

"Don't waste your efforts. Your performance is still not good. If you want to win the championship, you should wait for another four years!" During this time, Neymar also participated in the defense, and when he passed by Li Zhao, he actually came over and said

A few words were quite provocative.

Neymar's plan is naturally to provoke Li Zhao to challenge him desperately, and the overall effect of the Portuguese team without Li Zhao's support will be greatly reduced. Although this approach is somewhat unethical, as long as it is

It would help the Brazilian team win, so he didn't mind using it.

If he had been replaced by another impulsive player, he might have been tricked, but Li Zhao had a clear mind, and it would be difficult for this trick to work on him. Instead, he was playing tricks on him at this time.

He said angrily: "Really? Let's just wait and see!"

In the following period, Li Zhao's offense began to become more aggressive, and he often made forced breakthroughs, and only released the ball when he was double-teamed.

At first, the Brazilian team thought it was Neymar's words that had an effect, but every time they thought about closing the door and beating the dog, it was always difficult to restrain Li Zhao. It seemed that he always had a way to pass the ball out. The situation looked different.

Something was wrong. In order to contain him, more defensive players were invested, which resulted in loopholes in some defensive areas of the Brazilian team. If it were not for the fact that other players on the Portuguese team were not as good at seizing opportunities, such loopholes would

I'm afraid it's enough to even the score.

"The defense against Richard has restrained too many of our troops. If this continues, we will be very passive. Let the players change their approach and let one player specifically mark him closely so that he cannot get the ball directly.

, Besides, this can also free up some of the original personnel." The coach of the Brazilian Olympic team naturally saw this problem, so he quickly asked his assistant coach to convey the new instructions to the players.

The players of the Brazilian team also implemented their coach's intentions very well. At least for a short period of time afterwards, Li Zhao did seem to be maximally restricted, and the host country's advantage on the field became more and more obvious.

Li Zhao's low profile during this period was actually intentional, and he successfully paralyzed his opponent. In a counterattack not long after, his sudden burst finally helped the Portuguese team equalize the score.

In the 74th minute of the game, Li Zhao used his active running to successfully get rid of the players who had been tracking him, and appeared near a gap in the opponent's penalty area in advance, and B Fei's pass also

Come at this time.

However, Li Zhao's position is still a bit awkward at this time. The opponent only relaxed his defense for a moment, but his back was turned to the goal when receiving the ball. If he turned around at this time, he would definitely lose the most.

If the timing is good, the opponent's defense will also greatly interfere with his shooting angle.

Li Zhao made a different move at this critical moment. He completed a heel shot without any hesitation at the moment of receiving the ball. Amidst the astonishment of all the players and fans on the field, the football was quickly

It hit the goal like a thunderbolt.

This "Dragon Flick" trick comes entirely from his immediate nervous reaction speed, combined with his familiarity with the goal position and his rough prediction of the situation behind him. The opponent's goalkeeper and defender obviously cannot keep up with such an instant reaction.
