Before the start of the game, Costa Rican coach Lavolpe warned his disciples not to ask for autographs from Argentine superstars before the game, and wanted the jersey to be exchanged after the game. Of course, Lavolpe felt that this kind of star-chasing behavior on the stadium was very low, and as he wished, after the game, until the Costa Rica team left quietly, no one went to the Argentines to exchange jerseys.

Obviously, the big score of 4:0 has stimulated the fragile self-esteem of these young people, and their cheeks are not thick enough to continue to chase stars as if nothing happened.

In the dressing room, the Argentine team was relaxed, Rafael happily nibbled on the nuts (salvaged from Rojona), and then felt someone pat his ass, and the moment he shouted that there was a perversion, the moment he turned around, Messi twitched the corners of his mouth and raised the best reward he had just received in his hand - a bottle of champagne that had been brewed with a lot of bubbles.

Messi was not polite at all, and after spraying Raphael's head and face, he spilled champagne all around.

The usually quiet little fleas are so cooperative, what reason is there for others not to get high? The players are completely immersed in the joy of the group's successful qualification.

However, the group stage is just an appetizer, and the knockout round after that is the real test for the Argentine team, so Batista reversed the previous rule that the whole team would be given a half-day off regardless of whether they won or not, and began to prepare more strictly.

Given that Brazil and Uruguay have performed so poorly before, Battista is really a little afraid that they will meet in the quarter-finals.

While the Argentine team was preparing wholeheartedly, the final round of the three groups of group stage was also completed one after another in the past few days, and what Battista worried about finally did not happen -

In Group A, Argentina has qualified with 7 points from 2 wins and 1 draw, followed by Colombia with 2 wins and 1 loss with 6 points, Costa Rica with 3 points and third, and Bolivia with only 1 point.

In Group B, the hot Brazil team finally broke out under heavy pressure, and Patonemal scored two goals each to help the team win 4-2 against Ecuador. It wasn't the goals of both sides that caused the most discussion after the game, but the controversy caused by Neymar as he celebrated his goal, once running up to the cameras, pointing to his hairstyle and then shutting up......

At that time, there was a narrator who knew the inside story laughing: "This ...... Fans and friends who have followed the Internet should know who Neymar's action is aimed at...... I don't know if the Brazilian genius got rid of the influence of the previous unaccustomed in order to get rid of the previous bad breath?"

The Argentine commentator snorted: "I want Neymar to know that his current hairstyle really doesn't suit him, I think many people want to say that, but it's like the emperor's new clothes." Only our angels are kind-hearted and outspoken and dare to tell the truth, but unfortunately the Brazilians do not seem to appreciate it. As we all know, Rafael has 2 goals and 1 assist in this Copa America, and this is only the result of his 30 minutes on the field, Neymar occupies the identity of Brazil's main force and new banner, but it took several times longer to hand over such a report card, which is really ...... Hehe, hehe......"

Well, anyway, because of this game, Rafael and Neymar are tied to the hot search again.

The dark horse Venezuela in Group B defeated Ecuador 1-0 in the second round and Paraguay in the third round, and Brazil has 5 points, but because of goal difference, it has no choice but to rank second in the group, Paraguay has drawn three games, and ranks third with 3 points, Ecuador has been out.

In Group C, Uruguay finally made a strong effort, defeating Mexico 1:0, however, because Chile also defeated Peru, the Chilean team won 2 wins and 1 draw and accumulated 7 points to qualify for the first place in the group, Uruguay ranked second with 5 points, Peru won 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss accumulated 4 points and finished third in the group.

After all the group stage competitions, according to the rules that the two best groups in the Copa America can stay in the third place, Costa Rica has a goal difference of minus 3 and unfortunately goes out.

In the end, according to the knockout format of the Copa America, the results of the quarterfinals are: Argentina vs. Peru, Colombia vs. Uruguay, Brazil vs. Paraguay, and Chile vs. Venezuela.

As soon as the results came out, the outside world once again raised doubts about the chaotic format of the Copa America, and Brazil's opponent in the quarterfinals turned out to be Paraguay in the same group? This is simply impossible in the main matches of the European Championship and the World Cup, because in the quarterfinals and knockout rounds, they still have the principle of avoiding the same group, but in the Copa America, this is not new.

Now Argentina has no idea of change, not to mention, the current result makes the Argentines very satisfied, Argentina and Peru have met 47 games in history, Argentina has 31 wins, 11 draws and 5 losses, scored 96 goals and conceded 41 goals, the last two of which were in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, Argentina won 2-1 at home and drew 1-1 with Peru away. They also met once in the last edition of the Copa America, also in the quarter-finals, with Argentina beating Peru 4-0.

With such an opponent, Argentina's advance to the semifinals is a sure thing.

The end of the group stage also means that the Copa America is finally in the middle of the road. Although Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and other strong teams frequently make upsets, which makes the media startled, once it comes to the knockout round, the threat of strong teams will rise significantly. After all, according to past performance, in intensive events such as the World Cup, Copa America, and European Cup, the more big-name teams with more stars, the more likely they are to be involved in the problem of state adjustment, and the weak teams will have better performance because most of the players in the team are domestic league players, familiar with each other, and more energetic.

This adjustment is also the reason why many teams that finally reached the final and won the championship in the cup competition stumbled in the group stage, but in the later stages they got better and better.

Therefore, not meeting teams like Uruguay and Brazil really made Argentina breathe a sigh of relief.

However, it can also be seen that the Argentine has sobered up from the hot-headed state before the Copa America and no longer puts himself in the position of the ultimate boss.

Of course, for Peru, they are the ultimate demons.

The four matches of the quarter-finals will be held over two days, and because each match will be held in a different location, fans will have to pick one match on the same day to watch it live. So between Argentina vs Peru and Colombia vs Uruguay, most fans did not hesitate to choose the previous game. Similarly, Brazil's match against Paraguay on the second day will also be the most interesting.

Although there may be a small number of fans who don't want to admit it, most people, when it comes to South American football, probably only think of Brazil or Argentina...... Even Uruguay, who have won the Copa America the most, are completely unbeatable in popularity with these two teams.

For example, now, some fans have begun to predict that the final will still be a two-man battle, just like last time, last time Copa America.

After the group stage, the teams had a three-day break, and Argentina's match was still played in Córdoba, although Argentina still trained at the Ezeiza base.

Argentina's makeshift against Costa Rica withstood the test, and Batista received less criticism, which made him determined to make this line-up the main line-up.

Tevez, who sat on the bench for more than 90 minutes and didn't even get a substitute, suffered a serious dip in the team's status, and he complained to the media before the game in Costa Rica: "If I play badly in my position, then I deserve to be criticized." But that's not the case, I'm in a position I'm not familiar with, I feel terrible, I'm having a lot of difficulties in this position......"

Batista, who thought that Tevez had learned to be quiet and obedient, was very angry, no manager would tolerate the disciple pointing at his nose and saying, I didn't perform well because of your arrangement, you don't know how to use people!

Why would he rather play Ravic than Tevez in the last 10 minutes of the group stage?

So after the group stage, maybe it was the performance of the rivals that made him wary, maybe it was because he wanted to lift the Copa America himself, Tevez's subduing came very quickly: "The manager asked me to sit on the bench, it's nothing, it's normal. I haven't spoken to the manager yet, but now is not the time for criticism or communication, all we can do is support the coach. If he continues to let me play as a winger, I will do what he tells me. ”

But whether Batista, who has already gained confidence, will re-admit him, is a consideration for the manager, Rafael does not know, but he knows that the opponent's behavior has caused dissatisfaction among his teammates.

Even Messi will be treated coldly by his teammates when he does not perform well on the field, so why can't Tevez be substituted if the team can win?

And he can't wait to vent his frustration before the cup is over, which is tantamount to a betrayal of the dressing room.

In response to this situation, Mascherano and Zanetti jointly held a locker room meeting and issued a ban on the players, that is, before the end of the Copa America, everyone must be low-key, and it is okay to be interviewed, but it is better to speak more empty words and clichés, the content should be hello, hello, hello, everyone, and it is forbidden to disclose any information that will have an unfavorable impact on the team.

Its core idea is two points, one of which is: "low-key character!"

Second: "If you can't speak, then don't speak!"

The first is Tevez, who can't hide his words, followed by Pastore, who of course refers to his comments on the national team's construction around Messi.

Pastore obediently bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

He is a grateful good boy, and part of the reason why he said that was to support Tevez, after all, in the 10 World Cup, his and Messi's birthdays were only 4 days apart, but the treatment was very different, only Tevez remembered him, blessed him, and hugged him.

It was only when he really went deep into the dressing room of the national team that he understood that only by proving himself on the pitch could he stand on it, be treated as equals, and have a voice.

Raphael was also named.

The little angel, who was in a daze, was knocked on the arm by a teammate next to him before he reacted, and he pointed to his nose, his eyes widened, and he looked very stunned.

The nominated Messi was succinct: "Because you can't learn to be low-key!"

Look at what he did, he just told him to keep a low profile, and as soon as he turned his head, this guy went to Twitter and Brazil, who cares about hair!

This matter has been held in Mei Xiaoxi's heart for several days!

Raphael, who didn't think of this stubble at all, felt that he was being unspoken by the locker room, he thought about it and thought about it, and thought of the greatest possibility, so he said angrily: "If it is higher than the average level of the dressing room because of its outstanding appearance, I am not responsible for the passive high-profile problem." ”

The locker room that had already started the theater mode......

Aguero crackled his knuckles, looked around and smiled, "Suddenly itchy, what about you?"

That evening, Raphael updated a string of eerie tweets in English.

For English-speaking countries, this string of letters is simply confusing, but Chinese fans who have come all the way over the wall find that they understand it!!

It reads:

“no zuo no die……”
