Unable to intimidate his teammates with the domineering spirit of Kahn and Roy Keane and let them play according to their own intentions, nor did Barak and Gerrard have the courage to stand up in the face of adversity and boost morale with practical actions, let alone the low-key personality of Raul and Ram, who can inspire their teammates to fight bravely as a silent leader! This is Riquelme's shortcomings and weaknesses in character, and it is also the biggest difficulty that prevents him from becoming the real successor of Maradona!

It is precisely for this reason that, compared with Maradona, Riquelme's introverted and arrogant personality determines that he can only exist as a tactical core, and can never become a qualified team leader! Similarly, in the face of the unfavorable situation of falling behind by two goals, Riquelme still handles the ball methodically according to the pace and rhythm he is used to, and does not think about what to do at this time to motivate his teammates and boost morale, and help the team turn the situation into a victory!

In other words, Riquelme believes that his teammates can complete the reversal as long as they stick to their existing tactics. However, Riquelme misses an important point, which is that not everyone can be as impatient as he is when the score is down!

What's more, under Brazil's highly targeted arrangement, Argentina's current tactics have proven to be problematic, and changes must be made to hope for a comeback. Therefore, Riquelme's move to maintain the status quo is naturally difficult to convince his teammates!

Sorrin, Figoroa and Gonzalo Rodriguez, who played for Riquelme at Villarreal, have seen first-hand how the yellow submarine has turned what was originally just a La Liga lift into a force to be reckoned with, and even the players who have qualified for the Champions League will naturally obey and carry out all the decisions of the latter, but the other Argentina internationals may not necessarily think the same way. In their eyes, although Riquelme is indeed very capable, he is not a qualified leader at all, and it is impossible to lead Argentina out of the current predicament!

As in Brazil, when there is no iron-clad coach or a spiritual leader to lead the team, Argentina's dressing room is full of gangs, which has a very serious adverse impact on the team's cohesion and fighting ability. For example, now, when Brazil took a two-goal lead in less than 20 minutes of the opening game, and Riquelme, who was the core of the team's tactics, these people's minds began to come alive, and they refused to honestly run around Riquelme, but began to think in their hearts about how to bring out their own excellence and difference!

Argentina, which has played smoothly and played the world-class and has different thoughts when it encounters difficulties, naturally cannot be Brazil's opponent!

The reason why Argentina, with players who were not united, did not lose more in the first half was not because Brazil got carried away after taking a two-goal lead, but because God and his old man secretly helped them - it turned out that Frankfurt had a sudden rainstorm in the Confederations Cup final, although the organizers closed the roof at the first time to ensure that the game could go smoothly, but what they didn't expect was that the drainage system on the roof of the Forest Stadium actually failed at this time, resulting in the water on the roof could not be drained smoothly!

In this way, when Brazil took a 2-0 lead, a crack was forced open by the rain in the corner of the roof of the stadium under the action of gravity! The accumulated rainwater flowed down this gap, forming a waterfall in the air, and directly poured on the corner area on the left side of the Argentine goal!

The impact of this accident on Brazil is not insignificant. You must know that Brazil's previous two goals were started from the right side of the front, and now that this side has been flooded, the difficulty of their desire to continue to open a breakthrough from here has naturally increased by several levels!

Therefore, Brazil did not take advantage of the lack of unity of thought in the Argentine team to chase after the victory and further expand the lead. Even if they wanted to, it would be difficult to pose enough threat to the Argentine goal with a heavily hampered attack on the right.

Thanks to the quality of the drainage system and the condition of the field, the players did not suffer any injuries in this waterlogged field. However, even so, when the game entered the halftime stage, and the organizers, who could not repair the roof, had to send staff to clean up the water through the "waterfall", the scene was broadcast through the cameras to all the spectators watching the Confederations Cup final, everyone couldn't help but wonder if there would be a similar situation in the World Cup in Germany next year!

"It turns out that there are times when the quality of man-made things in Germany is not up to par!" Looking at the waterfall scene staged in the corner of the stadium, George said with a sigh, "It is estimated that tomorrow morning, there will be a lot of media worrying about the quality of the World Cup venues." ”

To be honest, it's really rare in international football to hear of a leak in the roof of a stadium. But this happened in the final of the Confederations Cup, and dramatically, it was built by the Germans, who were known for their seriousness!

"George, you'd better keep Mr. Beckenbauer out of the way, or I think he'll be upset. Elisabeth kindly reminded, "You know, the Germans have put a lot of effort into proving that they are capable of hosting this World Cup." Now that such a large basket has been released, Mr. Beckenbauer must be in a rather bad mood. ”

"Ellie, I don't think Franz is in the mood to care about my actions right now. Glancing at Beckenbauer, who appeared on live TV and had a blue face, George shrugged his shoulders absently and said, "But this way, Argentina can hold on to the field for a while longer." Of course, if coach Pekerman can't take this opportunity to adjust his tactics and get Riquelme out of the opposition, then the only doubt is that Argentina will lose a few goals to Brazil in this game. ”

Although this sudden rainstorm saved Argentina from being solved by Brazil in the first half, but at the beginning of the second half of the game, when the players of both sides changed places and fought again, the Pampas Eagles, who could not enjoy this benefit, naturally could not escape the end of defeat!

Ronaldinho and Adriano scored in the 59th and 63rd minutes respectively to extend Brazil's lead to 4-0. On the Argentine side, Aimar, who only came on as a substitute, risked being kicked by Lucio and scored a face-saving goal, but he still couldn't change the outcome of being slaughtered by his rival!

In this way, when the referee Mitchell announced the end of this alternative rain battle, Argentina, which was suppressed by Brazil, finally lost the Confederations Cup final 1-4, continuing the tragic fate of missing the international championship trophy since winning the Copa America in 1993!
