Qin Tianzhu retreated towards the backfield, and Argentina quickly sent a free kick. Sampaoli looked at the time, it was already the eighty-fifth minute, and the Chinese team still had two substitutions that were useless, Sampaoli understood that An Rong had no so-called tactical value in keeping these two places, and the only role was to delay the game.

Argentina is really cornered.

Messi controlled the ball and burst in, Huang Yu simply dragged him down from behind him, and hugged Messi's waist. The referee's whistle sounded again and stepped forward to give Huang Yu a yellow card. Messi was a little angry, and said angrily at Huang Yu: "What are you doing?"

Huang Yu didn't argue with Messi, just smiled and slowly stepped back. He Wei said: "Messi is a little unbalanced now, the Chinese player's idea is obvious, when it is far away from the goal, if Argentina plays a fast attack and I don't defend you, then I will make a tactical foul, that is, I don't let you into the defensive area." ”

Argentina is preparing to take a free kick again, this free kick is slightly closer to the one that Qin Tianzhu fouled before, and it can be passed into the penalty area. An Rong activated the second substitution at this time, and he replaced Xu Zhixin with Li Yongxuan. A tall defender who replaced a striking midfielder.

Xu Yang said: "An Rong let Li Yongxuan go up at this time in order to fight for the top and destroy Argentina's cross. ”

He Wei also said: "That's right. Li Yongxuan's height of 1.9 meters, although he turns slowly when defending, he has a high-altitude advantage. Besides, Argentina's players are not very good at heading, Yan Tao and Tang Ling made their crosses very uncomfortable, and now there is another Li Yongxuan, Argentina wants to raise high balls on both sides to penetrate the Chinese team's defense may not be so practical. ”

When Xu Zhixin left the game, all the fans of the Chinese team stood up and gave him a very warm applause, and he played a goal that exceeded the score in the game, and he also deserved the applause of the fans. The young midfielder waved to the crowd as he staggered off the pitch.

His behavior caused dissatisfaction among the Argentine fans, which was clearly to stall for time, so they booed him, and many people even scolded him. The Argentine player even walked in front of the referee to sue, and the referee also saw Xu Zhixin's careful thoughts, walked up to him and said: "Hurry up!

Xu Zhixin quickened his pace, he didn't want to provoke the referee. It is not without players in world football who have received red cards for this, and Xu Zhixin does not want to get the ruby card given by the referee.

Li Yongxuan went up to the court. With the departure of Xu Zhixin, the midfield of the Chinese team will also change, Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi occupy the position of two central midfielders, and Qin Tianzhu defends the midfielder full-time. In terms of formation, the Chinese team has changed from the previous 442 to 532, which is a defense-oriented formation.

Di Maria's free kick really didn't cross, he knocked it to Messi, Messi took the ball in the middle, he first passed to Dybala, and then bypassed Xu Ziyi himself, but Xu Ziyi was not too far away from him, when he started, Xu Ziyi still followed, but Xu Ziyi was half a body behind Messi, and Dybala narrowly passed the ball to Messi's feet.

With Messi's technique, no matter how narrow the space is, he can control the ball steadily, under Xu Ziyi's closeness, Messi pulled the ball back, took a step horizontally, and then took it diagonally to the left, Xu Ziyi followed reluctantly, Messi continued to rush in, and Tang Ling forced up. At this time, Messi was a little slower, but this time, Xu Ziyi pressed on the side and hit Messi with his left arm, knocking Messi to the ground, and snatching the ball from under his feet.

Messi sat on the ground and watched the referee, but the referee did not say anything and signaled the ball to the Chinese team. Messi was so angry that he slapped the turf and scolded in his mouth: "Damn!"

The referee thought that Xu Ziyi did not foul, but Messi was a little dissatisfied with this decision. We'll see how the replay screen is displayed later. ”

As soon as He Wei's words fell, the replay screen came, Xu Ziyi did hit Messi, but he didn't move his hand, he hit it completely with his shoulder, which was a reasonable collision. In fact, strictly speaking, Messi himself has to bear some responsibility for the loss of the ball this time, he hesitated a little after seeing Tang Ling come up, maybe he was thinking about whether to break or pass, which also gave Xu Ziyi the opportunity to grab the ball with his feet.

Xu Yang said: "Xu Ziyi didn't foul the ball, and he grabbed it very simply. This can only be blamed on Messi's own hesitation. ”

When the camera returned to the field, China had already hit Argentina's backfield, Chen Zihua divided the ball in the middle to Li Mu at the front of the penalty area, Li Mu knocked Zhang Shujie again, Zhang Shujie stopped the ball with his right foot and knocked it to the right front, Fazio and Rojo posted it up, Zhang Shujie saw that there was some emptiness in the middle, so he stepped on the ball with the soles of his feet and pulled it, and knocked the ball on the inside of his foot again, knocking it to the middle.

Xu Ziyi rushed over, he picked up his right leg in one step in the penalty area line is a shot, the power is very large, the ball speed is fast, but the height is not high, he hit the lower right corner of the goal, usually this speed and this power of the shot, the goalkeeper is difficult to save.

The hearts of Argentine fans are hanging in their throats, if this goal is really scored, then the rest of the game time will be complete garbage time. At the critical moment, Romero lowered his body, made a sideways pounce, and slapped the ball off the line from the post with one palm.

Xu Ziyi, who was about to celebrate the goal, ran two steps and then stopped, hugged his head, and pouted again. He Wei said: "Romero's save is very important, if Xu Ziyi really scores this goal, then the game is really over." ”

'Yes, Romero also saved Argentina a little hope of equalising. Of course, as a Chinese fan, I definitely don't want them to score again. ”

The Chinese team took a corner kick, this ball Xu Ziyi came to kick, he did not pass directly to the penalty area, but knocked it to Yuan Chengye who was not far away, Di Maria immediately forced over, Yuan Chengye knocked the ball back and knocked it to Qin Tianzhu, at this time Tang Ling and Yan Tao had already retreated from the penalty area, Messi and Aguero also rushed up, Qin Tianzhu handed the ball to Tang Ling, Tang Ling directly made a long-distance return pass, from the middle circle position, and passed back to Ma Junqiang.

He Wei laughed: "During this time period, the Chinese team basically doesn't attack much, at least there is no intention to take the initiative to attack." They probably won't attack again unless they have to, they're mainly on possession. ”

Xu Yang also smiled and said: "Now it's the supremacy of ball control. And their intentions are obvious to everyone, and that's what I'm trying to do to delay the game. ”
