Chapter 188: Defending the Title (I)

When Liu Han played in European football, he had played against Redondo on the field, when Redondo played for AC Milan, the legendary Argentine defender left a deep impression on Liu Han, his chic style of play and pure use of technology made Liu Han sigh at the time.

Mascherano is also another typical back from Argentina, but unfortunately he does not have the strength of Redondo, and Mascherano's physical condition is not comparable with Redondo, let alone compared with Liu Han, so although Mascherano has been keeping a close eye on Liu Han, it may not be big if you talk about the real effect.

With Liu Handing in the frontcourt, the Chinese team began to attempt counterattacks intentionally after a solid defense.

In the eleventh minute of the second half, Zheng Zhi cut off Tevez's ball in the backfield, and then passed directly to Cheng Tao in front of him, although Cheng Tao was not fast, he handled the ball very calmly, and when he stopped the ball, he took a light trip to pass Luis Gonzalez who pounced, and then Cheng Tao did not hesitate, and drove the ball directly to the front.

Cheng Tao handled this ball very well, the Argentine back line had pressed to the middle circle ambush in the attack just now, and Liu Han was dead on the front line, Cheng Tao's pass fell directly to the back of the Argentine backline, Liu Han can play his speed advantage very well.

Seeing that Liu Han was about to speed up to the football, Mascherano didn't dare to be careless, and directly hugged Liu Han's waist and dragged Liu Han to the ground.

Mascherano can be said to have made the most decisive choice, if this ball is put on Liu Han to completely accelerate, then Argentina may completely lose the confidence to win the championship, he and all the players in Argentina know how terrifying Liu Han's speed is.

Mascherano's decision was decisive, but the referee certainly wouldn't let him go, but instead of showing Mascherano a red card directly, he only gave the fouler a yellow card, perhaps out of consideration that the Chinese team is now in the lead.

Now the Chinese team has the lead, if the main back of the Argentine team is sent off, then the game is likely to lose suspense directly, after all, it is the football final of the Olympic Games, and FIFA will definitely have instructions to the law enforcement referee before the game.

The players of the Chinese team are obviously very dissatisfied with such a penalty, even Liu Han feels that this foul can deserve a red card, but there is no way, who calls the status of Chinese football in world football is not high, no matter how Argentina says, it has also produced the "king of the ball", and at the national level, South American countries are engaged in football as an industry.

The game continued, and the Chinese team won a long-distance free kick more than 40 meters from the goal.

At such a distance, it certainly doesn't make sense to shoot directly, but it can allow the Chinese team to try to attack in positional battles.

Argentina had a chance to defend and Mascherano's yellow card was worth it.

After restarting the ball, the Chinese team tried to play a match in the front court, but the Argentine team contracted the defense, and the Chinese team in the midfield also lost Liu Han's organization, and the positional battle was obviously overwhelmed, and considering the defensive task, the Chinese team's backfield did not boldly press, failed to organize an effective attack, and the Chinese team's opportunity ended with a long-range shot from Cheng Tao.

Horton on the sidelines was not only a little anxious to see that an opportunity was wasted, his original idea did not seem so satisfactory now, without Liu Han's organized attack, the young people of the Chinese Olympic team seemed to have lost their souls, and they did not know what to do in the next moment after receiving the ball.

"Xiao Tao, you have to retreat to get the ball, run more, and respond more."

Liu Han also sensed that something was wrong, and he said loudly to Cheng Tao, the core of the current midfield.

Hearing Liu Han's voice, Cheng Tao knew that he was indeed a little too relaxed just now, and he was used to letting Liu Han handle everything, and the young people of the Chinese team would inevitably have excessive patience.

Raising his hand to Liu Han, Cheng Tao signaled that he knew, and then quickly retreated to defense.

"Oh, the penalty just now is really up for debate, if the Argentine team's Mascherano doesn't foul just now, then Da Liu may really be able to end the suspense of the game directly, and the referee's decision should cause a lot of controversy after the game."

When the Argentine team had begun to send out goal kicks, CCTV's live broadcast room was still aggrieved by the referee's decision just now, and Huang Jianxiang explained his attitude very directly.

"Indeed, this goal is obvious that Mascherano is a good opportunity to interrupt the Chinese team, it is not an exaggeration to give a red card, Argentina's defenders will definitely not be able to catch up with Da Liu, to be honest, now football can compete with Da Liu in speed and explosiveness, and you see Cheng Tao just now The overhead pass is very purposeful, not to mention crossing the Argentine back line, Argentina's goalkeeper Lucas will never dare to attack, it's a pity, if Mascherano is punished, The national Olympic team will defend the title in this game. ”

The commentators were also quite dissatisfied with the penalty.

Back in the game, the Argentine team still did not rush to attack after sending a goal kick, but at this time Mascherano did not dare to get too close to Liu Han, he has now been saddled with a yellow card, or a lucky yellow card, if Liu Han deliberately looked for his foul when he took the ball next, then the referee would definitely not protect him, so Mascherano could only try to cut off Liu Han's receiving line, and at the same time signaled Luis Gonzalez to also retreat to participate in the defense.

With this counterattack just now, the young people of the Chinese team are much bolder, and their defense has begun to become more aggressive, because as long as the ball is broken, the Chinese team has the opportunity to play an efficient counterattack, and everyone knows how good a bridgehead it is to have Liu Han in the front.

With the increase in confrontation, the physical contact between the players on both sides has become more and more intense, and the players of the national Olympic team have been dissatisfied with the Argentine players because of the referee's penalty just now, so the smell of gunpowder in the game has gradually become stronger.

The referee on duty had to show yellow cards one after another to stabilize the situation, Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting of the National Olympic team both received yellow cards, and Alexandro of the Argentine team also received a yellow card for faking a fall.

Although the referee's yellow card played a role, as time passed, the Argentine players began to become more and more impatient, after all, they were on the backward side, and the Chinese team's fouls seemed to them to be too dense.
