Since the opening ceremony, the Tokyo Olympics have completed only four days of competition and have created many miraculous victories, such as Tunisian swimmer Ahmed Hafnaoui dominating the men's 400-meter freestyle, and Austrian "mathematician" amateur driver Anna Kiesenhofer winning the women's cycling road race. And the completion of two rounds of group stage football project has not yet reached the "meat play" part, a number of men's football teams are not only slow and hot or even have "legs", on the contrary, there is a women's football team that has opened up and closed but enjoyed it, scoring 7 goals and conceding 14 goals in two consecutive games, and the captain has scored two hat-tricks in two consecutive games to refresh the Olympic record, she is Zambia women's football shooter Barbra Banda.
Zambia, located in southern Africa, has never been a sports powerhouse, having won only one silver and one bronze in 14 Olympic games, and this year's delegation has only 30 people, 22 of whom are from women's football - this women's team ranked only 104 in the world and nicknamed "Copper Queens" (Copper Queens), passed the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Africa last year, eliminating Cameroon with away goals in the final two legs, making it possible to participate in the Olympics for the first time. Despite the abundance of F group masters, the first game was also slaughtered by the Netherlands 3-10, the second battle was a surprising 4-4 draw with the Chinese women's football team, and zambia women's football captain Barbara Banda in addition to the Dutch striker Vivianne Miedema with 6 goals to tie for the top scorer list, the two consecutive "hat-wearing" records are unprecedented.
As seen in the game, the 21-year-old Zambian shooter is extremely physically strong, enough to "squeeze" the enemy guard by body, with both explosive and sprinting power, and single-knife handling is also of a good standard. In fact, Barbara Banda began to be associated with football under the influence of her father at the age of 6, joined the Spanish team Logroño in 2018, became the first person in Zambia's national outflow at that time, and then joined the Chinese Women's Super League team Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank last year, scoring 18 goals in a single season to become the league Golden Boot shooter, and was praised by the domestic media as "women's football Drogba", so although the performance in this Olympic Games was a blockbuster, it was not without a trace.
Zambia will play the Brazilian women's football team at 7:30 p.m. on July 27 at the Saitama Stadium, and it is a difficult task to seize the slim chance to qualify, of course, the task is arduous, and she who regards Portuguese star C Ronaldo as an example also shares the same confidence with her idol: "My playing style is also to keep running and discing, doing unexpected things, and then amazing, Barbara Banda just did it!" ”
