Chapter 333: Knockout Round Begins, Against Greece
It's not an official competition though.
But the news of Lin Nan's match with Medanore spread to all teams.
Both Lin Nan and Medanore are well-known figures in this World Cup.
Because of the Spanish momentum.
Medanore was already known to many people before the World Cup began.
Plus the record is indeed outstanding.
After entering the U17 team, he swept the entire team like Borglinnan, and both won with a clean sheet.
We also performed outstandingly in some international friendly matches and qualifying matches.
Like Borg, Medanore is already world-famous and known to many people.
Now Lin Nan has shut out Medanore.
Borg finished second in the German team, and kept a clean sheet against Hitters.
Faintly, the title of the best player in the World Cup began to be attached to Lin Nan.
into the night.
Tomorrow is the knockout round.
Each team is busy making the final tactical arrangements.
The atmosphere of the Greek team was not very good.
"Medanore was also shut out? This guy called Lin Nan is so strong... but he looks quite young. The knockout round is a best-of-three match. I don't think he has the stamina to do that, right?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild. How could a person who is strong in all aspects leave himself with a weakness in physical strength?"
"I don't think he will lead the team himself tomorrow..."
"Even if he doesn't play, the rest of the German team are not easy to deal with. Borg, Hitters, and that guy called QP, aren't they all very strong?"
"We did a rough analysis and found that the German team has no weaknesses at all."
"I feel like they won't use all of their main players against us, so we should still have a chance."
After learning that Linnan had easily defeated Medanore, the Greek U17 players were filled with anxiety and fear.
They realized that the opponent they were about to face was powerful and should not be underestimated.
Especially after hearing the news, their already pessimistic mentality collapsed instantly.
Originally, everyone knew that their team's chances of winning were slim, but now that Lin Nan had done something so morale-boosting, the entire team was plunged into a gloom.
Not only were the players in low spirits, but even the coach had a worried look on his face.
Although the Greek team welcomed many talented players this year, especially the captain Taranta Hercules, he successfully realized the power of the Olympics.
But facing such a strong opponent as the German team, the chances of winning are slim.
The Greek coach knows this all too well.
After all, he has led the Greek team to the World Cup many times and possesses vision and experience far beyond ordinary people.
I deeply understand that the current Greek team still has a long way to go and there is still a big gap compared with other strong teams.
Judging from the current situation.
This year's German team is called the strongest generation in history by the German team, and its strength is so terrifying that it is astonishing.
No matter from which angle you analyze it, the Greek team has almost no chance of winning this game.
It seems that the round of 16 is as far as they can go.
The next morning.
The round of 16 competition officially begins.
The person in charge of leading the team is Hitts.
The members are: Kunimitsu Tezuka, Genichirō Sanada, Shusuke Fuji, Bismarck, Kiritani, and Lloyd.
Relatively speaking, they are all relatively strong players, so it cannot be said that they underestimate the Greek team.
The stands were packed with people and the game was about to begin.
There was a lot of cheering in the stands today, and most people wanted to come and see if Lin Nan had a chance to play. After all, the video of the match with Medanore made many people say it was very exciting.
Both teams have not entered the field yet.
The stadium was filled with cheers for the German team.
"Germany!"
"Germany!"
"Germany!"
.....
"Is this the influence of the German team?"
"As the No. 8 team with consecutive championships, it's natural that they have a lot of fans. Just be open-minded."
"The German team was originally the favorite to win the championship, and with the match between Lin Nan and Medanore a few days ago, their popularity reached its peak."
"I thought there wouldn't be many people watching the round of 16, but it turned out to be... it was packed with people, and I had to pay double the ticket price to find scalpers."
"I wonder if Lin Nan will play today?"
"It seems unlikely that he will play. After all, the Greek team is not that strong. There is no need for the German team to risk the main player getting injured by playing a low-intensity game."
"Not necessarily. The knockout rounds are a life-and-death game. Given the German team's rigorous nature, they may send out their main players."
"If we can see the main players in action, the ticket price will be worth it."
The audience was talking about it, and most of them were looking forward to Lin Nan stepping onto the field.
After all, the match between Lin Nan and Medanore was very exciting!
"The Greek team is entering the stadium, look!"
“Hey, the guy leading the team in the front…at least he’s my uncle!”
The audience turned their attention to the player tunnel.
Tatata!
Uniform steps.
With Taranta Hercules heading the ball, the Greek team came to the center net of the stadium amid the discussions of the crowd and waited for the German team to enter.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on this team.
It’s just that most people don’t understand why Taranta Hercules has a full beard.
There is no time to discuss too much.
Another shout rang out from the stadium: "The German team is out too, look!"
In a word.
Immediately, everyone's attention shifted to the entrance, and then the entire stadium was filled with support for the German team!
9% of the people in the stands came to support the German team.
9% of them came here for Lin Nan.
The moment Hist stepped onto the field, the atmosphere reached its highest point.
The German team led by him walked out slowly.
Their steps are neat, their spirits are high, and their eyes exude strong confidence.
When the German team entered the stadium.
There was an obvious sense of oppression in the team, which made the Greek players look uncomfortable.
"It's Hitts who's leading the team. Looks like Lin Nan won't play today. Sigh~"
"Although it was expected, I still feel upset. I really want to see Lin Nan play in the game~."
"Let me take a look. They all seem to be familiar faces. Today's game should not be bad. At least the German team will not underestimate the opponent."
As the discussion progressed, the audience became more and more excited.
But Lin Nan did not play.
Everyone was somewhat disappointed.
Amid the cheers of the audience, the two teams gathered in the center of the arena.
"Beep, beep, both sides shake hands!"
The referee blows the whistle.
Players from both teams step forward and shake hands
"Hello, Senior Hitus."
"I am Taranta Hercules, the leader of the Greek team. I look forward to playing against you."
Taranta Hercules had a kind smile on his face.
But Hittus didn't buy it. Instead, he said, "Compared to that, you are more like a senior."
Lin Nan on the sidelines was also curiously staring at 'Taranta Hercules', whose combat power was 12 stars and whose talent was actually called Aura of Kindness.
But what really made him curious was...
Taranta Hercules is obviously a freshman in high school, so why does he have to grow a beard? He looks older than Ryuzaki Sumire.
"Beep, beep, both sides return to the preparation area and prepare for the doubles match!"
