Since the location of the foul was only 23 meters away from the goal, and Riquelme had a superb free kick skills, Wang Xiaolei had already experienced Riquelme's free kicks in La Liga, so he did not dare to be careless.
Frowning and nervously lined up in a wall of five people.
By the time the wall was lined up, it was already the 89th minute of the game, which meant that there was less than a minute left for the Argentine Olympic team, so the Argentine fans were very nervous.
Similarly, the fans of the Chinese team are also very nervous.
There is not much game time, and the score on the field is only one goal, which is not a safe score.
In other words, as long as the Argentine Olympic team scores one goal, the game will begin. to overtime.
This is a serious blow to the Olympic team, which has been leading for a long time, and is very detrimental to future games.
In addition, this free kick position is very dangerous.
Riquelme, who is standing in front of the football, is a famous free kick master and has scored many wonderful free kicks in this position, so he cannot avoid worrying about it. .
"Roman Riquelme has a record of scoring many wonderful free kicks in this position.
I firmly believe that this is a good opportunity for our team to score," the Argentine national TV commentator said with confidence.
Huang Jianxiang seemed quite nervous: "Wang Xiaolei is still nervously arranging the human wall.
The game has reached the 89th minute.
There is not much time left for both sides of the game."
The neutral commentator said: "This may be the last chance for the Argentine Olympic team in the second half.
Riquelme has a record of scoring many goals in this position, and this critical moment has also become a moment for him to prove his worth. , whether the Argentine Olympic team equalizes the score, or whether the Chinese Olympic team continues to take the lead, we can only wait until the Argentine Olympic team’s attack ends to find out.”
The players on the field knew that perhaps this opportunity was the last chance for the Argentine Olympic team, so they did not dare to neglect it.
Everyone came to the penalty area of the Chinese Olympic team, and even Aiello returned to the penalty area to help defend.
After all, The score is still leading now.
There is no need to stand in the frontcourt and wait for opportunities for the so-called potential expansion of the score.
As long as the score is maintained until the end, you can advance to the finals.
Riquelme and Messi stood in front of the football, one on the left and one on the right, and both seemed to have the possibility of taking a free kick.
But everyone knows that this free kick must be taken by captain Riquelme, even if this position is more suitable for left-footed Messi.
Because Riquelme is the core and captain, there is no reason for the 21-year-old Messi to take such an important free kick at the critical moment.
When the Argentine Olympic team loses and is eliminated, Riquelme will be known as timid and fearful.
No matter what, the probability of Riquelme taking a free kick is over 99 However, no one expected that it would be the only one left, breaking everyone's glasses. beep The Italian referee blew his whistle, and the Chinese Olympic team's five-man wall suddenly became tense.
Of course, at this moment, all fans who are paying attention to the results of the Chinese Olympic team will also be very nervous.
But the most nervous one is goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei.
The first step-up was Messi, who was standing behind the football on the right side, but no one paid attention to him at this time.
The Chinese Olympic team's five-man wall did not even perform the upward movement of half-squatting.
They simply did not believe that Messi would be the taker of this free kick.
"careful" At this moment, Aiello, who was standing at the far end of the penalty area, looked at Messi's running posture, and his heart skipped a beat.
According to his later understanding of Messi, the scoring rate in this position is not low.
Messi's third step was particularly wide.
His right foot was about 20 centimeters to the right of the football, and the inside of the instep of his left foot was swung towards the football like a whip.
At this time, the Chinese Olympic team's wall, which had just received Ai Luo's reminder, realized that Messi was taking the free kick.
They didn't consciously prepare to take off until the football was half way from the wall.
But obviously the timing wasn't right.
The football almost brushed against the wall and flew toward the goal.
In other words, if they had taken off without hesitation, they could have pushed the ball away.
But there is no regret medicine in the world.
After Wang Xiaolei saw the football from above the wall, he quickly moved to the near corner, but unfortunately Messi's free kick was at a very tricky angle and flew into the net between the crossbar and the uprights.
Even though Wang Xiaolei has three heads and six arms, he is still powerless.
Messi has always given the impression of being silent and reserved, so he rarely makes excited celebrations after scoring a goal.
But this time it was different.

At almost the last chance of the game, he took advantage of a free kick to help the team equalize the score.
It was very rare.
Although he showed sufficient confidence before taking the free kick, he knew that it was just for bluffing, that is, for the right to take the free kick.
Now that the free kick was really scored, he naturally had to celebrate.
Fan.
After he made sure that the football flew into the net, he grabbed his shirt with both hands, pulling it up and down violently, and did not stop until he was hugged by Riquelme.
Aguero was very fast.
He jumped directly on Messi's back from behind and said loudly: "Leo, you did it, you did it."
At the same time, the Argentine national TV commentator shouted excitedly: "gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Leo Messi helped us tie the score to 2:2."
Because he was too excited, he coughed slightly twice before continuing.
Said: "This is almost the last chance in regular time.
Leo Messi helped the team equalize the score.
It is very beneficial to the morale of the team.
If we can seize the opportunity well, it will be okay before the end of injury time."
Defeat the Chinese Olympic Team” When Messi and others finished celebrating, the fourth official on the sidelines also held up an electronic sign indicating three minutes of injury time.
In other words, there are still three minutes left in this fierce Olympic men's football semifinal.
If both sides of the game do not want to enter overtime, they can only seize the opportunity in the last three minutes to kill their opponents.
However, this carries certain risks for the offensive side, because if you are not careful, your team will definitely fall into a situation of no return.
At this time, Dujkovic began to make the first substitution adjustment for the players on the field.
He replaced Gao Lin, whose physical strength had obviously declined, with Dongfang Zhuo to maintain the team's offensive firepower.
Aiello had nothing to do about this lost ball.
All he could do was take advantage of the restart and try his best to help the team exceed the score again and win the game.
But it’s not easy to win the game Having just tied the score, the morale of the Argentine Olympic team is booming.
Coupled with the morale of its own players being frustrated, this plus and one loss makes the gap even more obvious.
It is difficult to achieve it by relying solely on his personal efforts.
In addition, Dongfang Zhuo, who just got a chance to play, wants to show his best self as soon as possible.
Whenever he has the opportunity, he will choose to complete the last shot by himself, and he has no teammates at all.
Subsequently, the Argentine Olympic team also organized a wave of threatening attacks, but at the critical moment Wang Xiaolei stood up and made a flying save to save the ball from the baseline.
The remaining time of injury time was played out slowly and carefully by both sides of the game.
In order to avoid sudden death, no one dared to act rashly, even Aiello and Messi did not want to accept a draw.
It's just that they are helpless with the offensive rhythm of the whole team, and it is difficult for them to achieve anything apart from the team.
As soon as the three minutes of injury time arrived, the referee blew the whistle to end the game, which meant that there was still thirty minutes of overtime waiting for them.
What players hate most in tournament-based games is overtime, because under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for professional players to last for ninety minutes.
If they play for 120 minutes, their bodies will definitely be unable to bear it.
It is not conducive to the rapid recovery of physical functions.
Three days later is the final of this Olympic Games, which will definitely have a profound impact on the final.
Fortunately, they still have nearly ten minutes of rest time before the first and second half of overtime are fifteen minutes each.
Players who have been working hard on the court for ninety minutes can take a good rest and replenish the lost water and energy.
Dujkovic did not provide tactical guidance to the players on the field at the first time, but first let the players on the field receive massages from the team doctor to relieve fatigue.
As the team's top player, Aiello received the most meticulous care. .
It wasn't until five minutes later that Dujkovic began to explain the game tactics in overtime.
In fact, the routine of the first half of overtime is very simple, which is to stabilize the half-court defense first, and then rely on Ai Luo to counterattack.
After all, I still want to make full use of Ai Luo's abilities.
Aiello did not object to Dujkovic's tactics.
After all, he was used to it in Valencia and Chelsea.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility Batista's request for the Argentina Olympic team is very simple, that is, win the game in one go In the history of Argentinian football, there is no waiting for a penalty shootout.
Of course, a large part of the reason is that they lose more than they win in the penalty shootout, so they are very taboo about penalty shootouts.
Later, Batista also had new requirements for Messi, who was in hot form in this game, "use his dribbling more to create murderous opportunities."
When the game reaches overtime, it means that the physical fitness of the players has reached a critical point.
As long as they break through a few more times, opportunities will be created. beep At this moment, the referee on duty blew his whistle.
This means overtime is about to begin:
