Chapter 1164: Ten Minutes
Argentina used up all three substitutions, and An Rong didn't use any of them, but now, after taking the lead again, he finally used the first spot. He replaced Zhao Wenkang with Qin Tianzhu, with two purposes, the first was that An Rong was going to play defense, and the second was to delay the game.
When Zhao Wenkang left the field, all the Chinese fans applauded him, and Zhao Wenkang also applauded in return. Qin Tianzhu told him between the plays: "If you are forty meters away from the goal, you feel that you can't keep an eye on the opponent's attacking players, so use tactical fouls to block them, you know?"
Qin Tianzhu nodded and said, "Understood, An Zhi." ”
After Qin Tianzhu came on the field, he nominally replaced Zhao Wenkang as a right wingback, but in fact, his task was to sweep in the midfield and take on the defense. Chen Hui was much more comfortable in the press booth than before, after all, the Chinese team was ahead, the game was about to end, and the Chinese team was only about ten minutes away from the final.
And Wang Shihan is also very relaxed at this time, she has not had the heart to do other things before, but now she can relax, such as occasionally taking out her mobile phone to report on current affairs, or taking out the small round mirror she carries with her to tidy up her hair and makeup.
She looked at Zhou Ying, Ye Xiaotong and Gu Qingqing who were sitting next to her, and the three of them lost their previous nervousness, and lowered their heads from time to time to play with their mobile phones.
Argentina had already kicked off in midfield and they now had no choice but to attack, so as soon as Aguero kicked off, their two centre-forwards pressed up, with Messi and Di Maria on either flank. The Chinese team set up the first line of defense in the midfield, and the players in the backfield are also waiting to fill the gap at any time.
Zhang Shujie and Li Mu also came back to help defend, although An Rong didn't tell the two of them separately. But for a star of their magnitude, they know what to do when and when.
The ball passed to Messi's feet, this time Messi failed to form a breakthrough, Li Mu and Chen Zihua's pinching made Messi still a little uncomfortable, plus there was a Xu Zhixin waiting to help defend next to him, Messi handed the ball to Dybala, and Dybala gave the ball to Aguero. Compared to Icardi, Aguero's footwork is obviously better, but it will be difficult for him to break through one-on-one against Xu Ziyi. But he still tried it, but Xu Ziyi cut the ball off his feet.
"Xu Ziyi's snatching of the ball is neat. What's going on with Aguero, does he think he's been teammates with Xu Ziyi, so he knows him well?
He Wei said guessingly. Xu Yang said: "I think if I know very well, I shouldn't have tried to go to him." You must know that Xu Ziyi's tackles and interceptions in this cup are ranked in the top two of all midfielders. ”
Xu Ziyi passed the ball to the left, and after Huang Yu stopped the ball, he observed the position of his teammates, and then took a few more steps, and Messi went up to grab the ball. Shen Hao said to Chen Hui: "I didn't expect that even Messi began to take the initiative to press forward." ”
Chen Hui said: "There is no way, Argentina shows that it is 1:2 behind, and if you don't control the ball in the Chinese team's half, it will delay a lot of time." Now that's about ten minutes of stoppage time. ”
"In fact, ten minutes is not a very short time, if you really put it together, there is still the possibility of creating miracles. It's just that the Chinese team in this session is really too strong, and it is very difficult for any team to turn the tables on them. ”
Sampaoli also understands this reason, otherwise he would not have allowed Aguero and Icardi to play at the same time, the positions of these two people overlapped a little, and it was not suitable to stand in the forward line together. But now Sampaoli has no other options, not even adjustable tactics. Usually in this situation, all tactics are useless, they need a flash of inspiration from the stars, and this is where the value of the stars lies.
Now Argentina is in dire need of heroes. Will it be Messi?
Messi's pressing of Huang Yu did not have an effect, Huang Yu knocked the ball to Yan Tao, and Yan Tao gave it to Xu Zhixin. It seems that Xu Zhixin was still immersed in the joy of scoring the goal just now, and he didn't stop the ball when he stopped it, and was snatched away by Correa.
Xu Zhixin was also annoyed, shook his head, and made an apologetic gesture towards Yan Tao. The camera also gave him a close-up lens, and Xu Zhixin also had a faint smile on his face. Xu Yang teased: "This Xu Zhixin must be reminiscing about the goal he scored just now, you can see his smile." ”
He Wei said: "It's good for young lads to score goals in the World Cup, but don't dwell on what has happened. The game is not over yet, and it is the right thing to do to keep the win. ”
Correa passed the ball to Dybala, Messi ran to receive it, waiting for him to pass the ball, but Dybala did not pass, he shot directly outside the penalty area from a distance, lack of strength, and was held by Ma Junqiang with both hands. Messi on the side was a little dissatisfied, and muttered a few words at Dybala: "Why don't you pass this ball? Time does not allow us to waste opportunities!"
Dybala didn't speak, he also knew that he was indeed a little reckless just now, he didn't pass it when he should have passed it, and he didn't dare to squeak under the reproach of the big brother.
Ma Junqiang threw the ball to Huang Yu, now in this situation, as long as Ma Junqiang can catch the ball, he will never kick the ball to the midfield, that is equivalent to letting the two teams compete for the ball, both sides have a 50% chance, if the ball is thrown directly to teammates, then the Chinese team is equivalent to 100% of the ball. Although it is not easy to do so when Argentina is pressed in front, once the ball is snatched, Argentina can attack on the spot. But Ma Junqiang believes that his teammates will not let the ball fall to the Argentine's feet so easily.
Huang Yu gave the ball to Yan Tao, Yan Tao gave it to Chen Zihua, Chen Zihua passed it to Tang Ling, and Tang Ling passed it to Yuan Chengye. The ball crossed from the left side of the Chinese team to the right, Yuan Chengye saw Di Maria approaching, and quickly gave the ball to Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi did not stop the ball, and knocked it to Qin Tianzhu in front of him under the top impact of Pastore.
This was Qin Tianzhu's first touch of the ball after coming on the court. He remembered An Rong's words, and also understood that An Rong would not ask him to attack now, as long as he didn't lose the ball. Unfortunately, Qin Tianzhu really lost the ball.
Substitute play, the first touch of the ball, was snatched away by Di Maria, Qin Tianzhu was naturally unhappy, he saw that it was far away from the goal, not fifty meters and forty-five meters, he boldly pressed towards Di Maria, and used both hands and feet behind his back, so that Di Maria could not rush forward, Di Maria chose to pass the ball, but before the ball was passed, Qin Tianzhu pulled him down.
"Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded, blowing Qin Tianzhu's foul.
