80. The tragedy of the Samba Army
According to the World Cup schedule, each round of the group stage is separated by five days, but the break is shortened by the more intense knockout stage, and when China beat Costa Rica, they have less than four days to prepare. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The opponent is Messi's Argentina, an opponent who is perhaps more formidable than all previous enemies.
The Chinese team has never played against Argentina, but that didn't stop them from falling silent after hearing Leo Messi's name.
Especially the defensive players such as Zhao Xuyang, Feng Xiaoting, and Zhang Linpeng, when they saw Messi's passing highlights, their legs couldn't help but tremble.
Messi, Messi, Messi!
There may be many people in this world who can play the ball as if it were a part of their own body, but Messi is the only one who can control, dribble, and pass to the realm of the king of the plum ball in the game, and has always maintained a very high level for more than ten years, always amazed by the audience, and admired by the opponent.
Not to mention Cristiano Ronaldo, as he gets older and his style changes, the Portuguese king's passing ability has long been much less than before, and he is becoming more and more like a full-time goalkeeper;
Don't mention Chingoud, his small-scale getaways and breakthroughs can't be compared to the Argentine king.
The defenders of the Chinese team ...... How do they defend against Messi?
-
'The only good news is that Di Maria has already confirmed that he will miss all the games in the future, and Argentina is likely to continue to field Ravic as a wide attacker.
Pezzotti, the assistant coach in charge of the news, handed the manager a list of Argentina's players injured.
Maddaloni added: "Ravitch's breakthrough is much weaker than Di Maria's, and he lacks that kind of brilliance and ghostly passing, so we will have a lot less defensive pressure on the wings. ”
While wiping his new glasses, Lippi nodded seemingly easily, and called Sun Jihai's name: "Sun, the defense on the right side is yours alone." ”
The interpreter does not convey the conversation between the coaching staff to the players, he only translates Lippi's instructions to Sun Jihai.
"I do my best." Sun Jihai responded, this sentence certainly means...... He will be in the starting line-up for the semi-finals.
The coaching staff did not look at his statement, and now the attention of Lippi and his assistants is only on one issue:
"Who...... To defend Messi? ”
-
Until the afternoon of July 8, when the Chinese team went to the São Paulo Arena for an adaptation venue, Lippi did not come up with an answer to this question.
Because this problem is inherently unsolvable.
And the experienced Lippi knew from the beginning: instead of fantasizing that Zheng Zhi or Zhao Xuyang or Zhang Linpeng or Feng Xiaoting suddenly possessed by a god, Messi would be completely frozen by one person, and it was better to let the entire defense line practice regional defense.
After all, Messi's cooperation with his national team teammates is far less than that between clubs, and it may be slightly easier to cut off the link between them.
But those journalists don't care about that.
When Lippi appeared at the pre-match press conference, reporters threw him a question.
"Marcello, Brazil vs. Germany just ended, how do you feel about the 8-1 scoreline?" Even Lippi's Italian compatriot Rafael surprisingly didn't ask a question from a tactical point of view, but instead asked a question that had nothing to do with this semi-final.
The Italian silver fox has been thinking about the tactics of the Chinese team these days, and he has no time to care about other people's games, so he was shocked when he heard it: "What did you say?" Eight to one? How can Brazil be so strong?! Have all the members of the German team been taken captive by aliens? ”
The faces of the local reporters in Brazil suddenly turned ugly.
And the German journalist immediately corrected his huge mistake: "It was the German team that was eight to one!" ”
Lippi glanced at Pezzotti, who was sitting next to him, and the teaching assistant, who was over seventy, shrugged his shoulders aggrievedly: "It was just over five minutes ago, and I don't have time to tell you." ”
"Really...... What an astonishing score," Lippi shook his head and said three times in a row, "Incredible, unimaginable, unbelievable!" ”
After saying these three words, the silver fox seemed to be stunned, closed his mouth completely, and let the reporters' questions pop up one by one, but did not answer a word.
On the other side, the coach of the Argentine team, Sevilla, gave his own assessment: "The Brazilian team without Neymar and Silva is like a soulless walking corpse, and in the face of the German team's flowing attack, their defense is completely useless, and it is not surprising that they are beaten so badly, if their opponent is Argentina, we are likely to play a double-digit scoreline." ”
- And just like that, an article titled "Surprise! The Argentine coach angrily sprayed the Brazilian team for being too rubbish! The German team is not as good as Argentina in attack! The article was immediately freshly baked!
Argentina captain Lionel Messi said tactfully: "Brazil are unlucky, maybe they are under too much pressure, after all, they are almost all young in the team, and experienced players like Kaka and Ronaldinho are not in the team. ”
-- That's it, an article titled "The King of Plum Balls Fights for Ronaldo and Kaka: The Sorrow of the Most Civilian Brazil in History!" Scolari damn it! The kingdom of football is over! The article was released at the same time.
As for the captain of the Chinese team, another question awaits him.
"Goode," the German reporter approached him as if to show off, "in that game, the starter Miroslav Klose scored twice in 60 minutes, and he not only managed to break Ronaldo's World Cup goal record, but also improved that record to 17 goals, while you have only 14 goals so far, do you have anything to say about Klose's goal?" ”
"First of all, I would like to congratulate Milo," Qin Goode's expression was a little strange, because this incident has changed significantly from his memory, "Milo and I became friends a few years ago, and the first shirt I exchanged with my opponent was his team shirt at Bayern, he has become a World Cup legend and deserves any praise. ”
"What do you mean......" the ill-intentioned England journalist blinked, "you can't beat this record?" ”
Qin Gude raised his eyebrows, revealing a familiar smile that made the other party shudder.
It was the lion's licking of its minions before it fought and bitten.
It was the cheetah holding its breath before sprinting.
It's the eagle that converges its wings before swooping down on its prey.
"I can see that you all want to pull a big news out of my mouth," Qin Gude answered his question in English, "I don't like to beat around the bush, so I'll tell you the answer." ”
The Chinese captain's gaze slowly scanned the audience, his eyes sparkling in the flashing lights.
"I'm sorry, Milo, I don't like to be in the juxtaposition with others."
-
A meter away, Argentina captain Leo Messi raised his head slightly.
There was also a fire burning in his heart.
I'm not a player who likes to talk about it.
I will completely release this flame to the opposite Chinese player in the game!
Wait, Goode Qin!
I'll show you what it means to have the intention to kill a thief and be powerless to return to heaven!
Those of your Chinese teammates...... They can't help you at all!
