Huang Yu saw that this was different from his original plan, smiled bitterly in his heart, and withdrew a few steps. He Wei also smiled: "Huang Yu may have wanted to create a throw-in that belonged to the Chinese team, but he didn't want the ball to end up touching his foot and going out of bounds." ”

Switching to Argentina to throw a throw-in, Correa threw the ball far away in the middle and threw it to Dybala, Dybala stopped the ball and turned around, and when he looked up, Xu Ziyi stood over.

Dybala took control of the ball and took a few steps sideways. When a lot of players are in possession of the ball in the front court, they like to take it sideways first, and then see if it is a pass or a pass. Icardi ran in the front court, Dybala suddenly knocked the ball, stepped with his left foot, leaned on Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi also leaned on him, but Dybala still passed the ball, Icardi caught the ball.

Icardi's receiving position is not in the box and is about two metres away, and he doesn't try to dribble into the box like everyone else, but shoots straight with his feet.

His knock was a little sudden, there were Yan Tao and Chen Zihua beside him at that time, and Icardi's foot lifting action was not big, everyone didn't expect him to kick suddenly, even Ma Junqiang didn't expect it.

The ball rolled against the turf to the far corner of the goal, and Ma Junqiang's position was relatively close to the near corner, so it was actually a bit difficult for Ma Junqiang to save the ball. But Ma Junqiang still fell sideways quickly, his body rushed out sideways, and his fingers rubbed against the ball, stopping the ball from advancing.

However, the ball was still slowly rolling to the other end of the penalty area, Messi quickly inserted it, Tang Ling also ran forward with Messi, and Ma Junqiang supported his body with both hands, like a ball pounced.

Tang Ling leaned on Messi, his body is not Messi's strong point, and in the case of physical contact, Messi usually does not have an advantage. It was Tang Ling's successful blocking that made Ma Junqiang hold the ball in his arms without danger.

'Argentina was a dangerous attacker and Icardi's shot was really unexpected. He Wei also seemed to be taken aback by Icardi's shot just now.

Xu Yang said: "From the slow-motion analysis of the replay, if Ma Junqiang's arm is a few centimeters shorter, this ball will be inaccurate." Icardi hit too suddenly!"

Ma Junqiang stood up from the ground with the ball in his arms, and he exhaled quietly, and it seemed that Icardi's unexpected shot had to slow down the goalkeeper as well.

Ma Junqiang kicked the ball to the front, he kicked the ball far away, about to get close to the Argentine penalty area, Zhang Shujie headed a little, and gave it to Li Mu, Li Mu passed back to Chen Zihua, Chen Zihua divided the side to Zhao Wenkang, the Argentine team is now in a tight defense, and the Chinese team is not in a hurry to attack, first control the ball and then talk about it.

The Argentine players pressed the Chinese players, and they couldn't let the Chinese midfielder knock the ball to the front, but let them pass the ball back. The Chinese team doesn't want to be tough with them yet, anyway, now that the score is ahead, it's okay to pass on the back foot. So, Zhao Wenkang passed the ball to Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi knocked the ball to Yan Tao under the pressure of Dybala and Rodriguez, and Icardi went to Yan Tao again, Yan Tao passed back and directly passed the ball to Ma Junqiang.

Argentina wants to press high? Yes. In the group stage, the Chinese team used this kind of back and forth to play with the opponent, and if Argentina wants to repeat the mistakes of the past, the Chinese team with the leading score can play with them.

With the current midfield configuration of the Chinese team, there is no team in the world that has a good way to restrain them. In fact, it has been proved in some games that if you really want to break up the Chinese team's attack, the best way is not to let the Chinese team get the ball, and it is theoretically feasible to press in a high position, but it is too much physical exertion, and it works to play like this in the first half, and playing like this in the second half can only accelerate the loss of physical strength of the players. When the Chinese team moved forward, many teams took the initiative to give up players and formed two lines of defense in the penalty area, one in the midfield and the other in the backfield, to make a double insurance for the goal.

Instead of pressing with a physically demanding high post in the second half, it is better to strengthen some frontal defense in the midfield, and when the Chinese team fails to attack, Argentina will naturally be able to get the ball. Although this allows the Chinese team's attacking line to be closer to the backcourt, at least the players' physical strength can be reasonably distributed, and there will not be a situation of breathlessness after a few rounds.

The Argentine players also know the limitations of this style of play, in fact, they are looking forward to snatching the ball from the feet of the Chinese team after two or three scrambles, but they did not succeed, they can only give up temporarily, let the Chinese team control the ball, and they themselves began to lay out the defensive line.

"We saw Argentina set up a defence in front of their penalty area after a couple of scrambles and didn't get the ball. This is a smarter way to play, all the players of the Chinese team can control the ball, and it is not a very effective way to press them, unless the Chinese team makes a mistake by itself, it is really difficult to grab the ball. ”

The Chinese team passed the ball to Argentina's backfield 40 meters, at this time Argentina only Icardi and Messi were a little outside, but Icardi's position was dragged further back than Messi, which was also Sampaoli's arrangement. Except for Messi, who can completely ignore the attack of the Chinese team, everyone else must contribute in defense.

The Chinese team is on the periphery, and the middle is now unable to enter, so they can only start from the side, Huang Yu is on the left side, Correa sticks over, and jams his passing route. Huang Yu flashed a few times, did not dodge Correa, and gave the ball to Xu Zhixin, Xu Zhixin got up and passed to the penalty area, Zhang Shujie competed for the header, but Fazio pushed the ball out.

Chen Hui looked at Xu Zhixin's cross and said: "I think the Chinese team tries to play as few crosses as possible, although Zhang Shujie has a good bounce, but Fazio's height of 1.95 meters is very advantageous in the air, unless the landing point is really impeccable, otherwise it is not very realistic to want to score with a header." ”

Shen Hao let out an "um", did not reply, and continued to watch the game.

The ball from Fazio was obtained by Yan Tao, Yan Tao handed it over to the right side, Zhao Wenkang received the ball, first gave it to Chen Zihua, and Chen Zihua rubbed it to Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie stepped on the ball on the line of the penalty area, and out of the corner of his eye, Yuan Chengye inserted it from the right side, so he hit the ball with the outside of his left foot and passed it to Yuan Chengye's side.

Yuan Chengye glanced at the forbidden area, Fazio stood out from the crowd and was very eye-catching in the crowd. Yuan Chengye didn't dare to cross rashly, he handed the ball to Zhao Wenkang in the corner of the big penalty area, Zhao Wenkang sent the ball, the ball leaked from between Rojo and Paredes to the penalty area, Zhang Shujie inserted the ball, and dialed Fazio who came up on the defense outside the small penalty area, at this time he was a little close to the bottom line, Romero attacked, Zhang Shujie rushed to block before knocking the ball back to the goal!
