Chapter 1155: Explosion
An Rong felt a little relieved, being able to score first in such a game also has a certain psychological advantage for the players. Sampaoli was a little helpless, he couldn't blame anyone, the team didn't make mistakes in defense, but they lost to the individual ability of the Chinese players. Sampaoli feels a little unfair, players like the Chinese team often only gather in clubs, and the national team rarely finds such a perfect lineup, but the Chinese team has this kind of lineup. Of course, this is provided that all the main forces are present.
The Argentine midfielder kicked off, and they began to strengthen their attack after falling behind by one goal, and the breakthrough was the right side of the Chinese team, and the attacker was naturally Messi.
In fact, Messi's performance in this more than half an hour was not bad, not only did he have a shot, but also passed a good ball for his teammates, but unfortunately he failed to form a goal, the Chinese team's back line made mistakes, and the mistake was on the right side of Yuan Chengye's guard. If Ma Junqiang hadn't played well, Argentina would have scored first.
The Chinese team also saw Argentina's style of play, no matter how many offensive tactics you have in the frontcourt, after all, it is to pass the ball to Messi, so Zhao Wenkang discussed it with Tang Ling and decided to let Tang Ling come to the side a little less, after all, the defense in the middle is more important. As for the task of assisting Yuan Chengye, Zhao Wenkang will do it for him.
This temporary switch was approved by Tang Ling, and Zhao Wenkang's position was retreated a little, and Yuan Chengye came to defend Messi together. In doing so, it will be difficult for the Chinese attack on the right side to play, but now that the Chinese team is ahead, the first thing they have to do is not to concede the ball first.
Messi pulled from the left forward position to the left side, Dybala went up, Zhao Wenkang and Yuan Chengye blocked Messi, Messi controlled the ball, did not rush to attack, but gave the ball to Rodriguez, and ran diagonally to the direction of the penalty area, Zhao Wenkang followed him closely, Rodriguez returned the ball to Messi, Zhao Wenkang squeezed Mei Tianwang with his body, and before he received the ball, he poked the ball away and stabbed it to Xu Ziyi.
After watching Argentina's passing cooperation, He Wei said: "Argentina's passing feels a bit monotonous, and it is a little too dependent on Messi. Although they are mainly based on transmission control, in fact, so far they have not played the classic triangle pass, and the most used is the wall collision style. But this kind of passing method is easy to be recognized by the Chinese team if it is used too much, and there are too few receiving points, so it is not so difficult to defend after seeing through. β
Xu Yang also said: "This is indeed a little different from Messi's passing in Barcelona, especially the peak Barcelona." I think this also has something to do with the players themselves, the six-time champion Barcelona Messi has Xavi and Iniesta behind him, and the other people's passing and receiving play completely makes the opponent unable to touch the ball, and this Argentina team has not reached this level. β
Argentina lost the ball in the front, Correa's pass to Icardi was grabbed by Tang Ling, and the Chinese team organized a counterattack from the back, but their attack was destroyed by Argentina just past the halfway line, Argentina's interception had an effect, and Zhao Wenkang's split ball was headed by Mascherano overhead. If he can't stop it, Li Mude will immediately give the ball to Xu Zhixin, who is unmarked on the left side.
The Argentine team attacked again, but was soon cut off by the Chinese team. At this moment, both sides spent most of their time grabbing the ball in the midfield, Argentina was afraid that the Chinese team would counterattack, and the Chinese team was afraid that Argentina would go to the right side of the explosion again, so both teams wanted to gain control of the middle.
Li Mu came back to answer, Chen Zihua made the ball for him, he was about to turn around, Correa didn't grab the ball when he stepped forward to grab him, and was moved sideways by Li Mu, but Correa's outstretched leg couldn't be retracted, and he kicked Li Mu down directly.
The referee blew the whistle, he walked up to Correa, his right hand touched his breast pocket, and the Argentine players saw that the referee was about to pull out the card, and quickly came up to explain to the referee.
The first to come up was Correa himself, who said: "I didn't mean to kick him, I just couldn't hold my feet when he passed." β
Mascherano also said: "Yes, yes, sir, I can testify that I saw that he had a movement to close his feet, but it was too late. β
Zhang Shujie came up and said: "Don't talk nonsense, his legs are almost up to Li Mu's waist, I don't believe it if he doesn't mean it." β
Xu Ziyi on the side pulled Li Mu up and turned his head to look at the referee. The referee will certainly not listen to the players, he has his own scale in his heart, and he still touched the yellow card and showed it in front of Correa.
"Correa still couldn't escape this yellow card, it's a foul, whether it's intentional or not, Correa raised his foot from the side and kicked Li Mu, if you don't give the card, it's really unjustifiable. In this way, one player from each team has a yellow card. β
The Chinese team quickly sent a free kick, Li Mu passed to Xu Zhixin on the side, Xu Zhixin quickly rushed forward along the sideline, Otamendi pulled to the side to defend him, Xu Zhixin used speed to break through Otamendi, but Xu Zhixin walked the ball too big, and when he chased the ball, he was close to the bottom line, and when he adjusted Otamendi also chased up, Xu Zhixin gave the ball to Huang Yu, Huang Yu took the ball sideways to the middle, Li Mu ran forward, Huang Yu intended to give the ball to him, but before it was passed out, Huang Yu, who was caught in the two-person bag, was snatched away by Rodriguezγ
Argentina counter-attacked, Rodriguez knocked the ball to Dybala, who then gave it to Icardi in front, who did not dribble the ball and passed it directly to Messi. This time Messi didn't pull the side, he took the ball forward from the middle, Messi's feet moved quickly, Tang Ling didn't dare to slack off, slowly retreated as Messi advanced, in short, he wouldn't go out to grab the ball, he knew that if he stretched out his feet, he would either kick Messi down, or be shaken by Messi.
Messi began to speed up, Tang Ling accelerated his speed, when Messi suddenly reached the same position as Tang Ling, Tang Ling quickly pressed over and used the strength of his body on Messi's body. At this time, Messi pulled the ball back, pulled it back behind Tang Ling, and continued to walk with the ball to the other side.
Tang Ling has not been passed by Messi, nor has he grabbed Messi's ball, and Messi does not plan to entangle with Tang Ling, he picked up a pass to Icardi, Icardi wanted to shake Yan Tao away after stopping the ball, but he was unsuccessful, and was almost robbed of the ball by Yan Tao's outstretched left foot. Icardi gave the ball to Dybala, Dybala saw that China's two central defenders were a little far away, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to lead the ball to the penalty area, but Chen Zihua, who returned to the defense, made a diagonal shovel from his side, so that Dybala was a person who passed the ball, but the ball rolled to a no-man's land, Messi withdrew and shot directly with his best left foot twenty meters from the goal!
The ball smashed into the goal of the Chinese team!
Ma Junqiang quickly moved his position, flew and pounced with one palm when the ball was near, and slapped the ball off the crossbar with his right palm near the dead corner.
