Argentina lost in the second round of the group stage to South Korea, an Asian side ranked 48th in the world. After the game, the fans who saw the result couldn't believe what they were seeing, and the more professional football professionals also found it very incredible.

No one could have imagined that this would be the result before the game began. After all, the gap in strength between the two teams is too big.

The Argentine team has big stars such as Messi, Tevez, Higuain, Samuel, Mascherano, etc., what does the South Korean team have? There is a Park Ji-sung, who is not the absolute main force of Manchester United.

Coach Bibi again, the head coach of the Argentine team is Maradona, the king of the world in the previous life, and the head coach of the South Korean team is the little-known Xu Dingmao. Even if Maradona's coaching level is worse, it won't be as good as Xu Dingmao, right?

No matter how you look at it, fans can't think of a reason why the Korean team can win, and it is precisely because this idea is so deep that everyone will be surprised after the game.

In fact, there is indeed a lot of luck in the South Korean team's victory, but it is undeniable that the Korean team will not be able to win without the proper use of these luck factors.

First of all, the Argentine team was a little careless. Such a mentality is generally unlikely to appear in the World Cup game, but this time it appeared, and it can be said that it is the luck of the Korean team.

Xu Dingmao seized this opportunity and put Li Jingyuan decisively in the forward position, taking advantage of the laxity of the Argentine team to catch them off guard, which is a performance of being good at taking advantage of opportunities.

There is also the most crucial goal, that is, the second goal scored by Lee Kyung-won by the South Korean team, which also has a lot of luck. If Argentina's backline hadn't pressed so high, or if the rebounded football hadn't fallen to Park Joo-young's feet, Lee Kyung-won's goal would not have been possible.

God has given you luck, so you must grasp it in your hands. In order not to allow Argentina to equalize in the last few minutes. The South Korean team has made appropriate adjustments and deployments, which is the most critical human factor.

Let's take a look back at the last few minutes of the game.

When Li Jingyuan scored the ball, Xu Dingmao immediately made adjustments. There are less than five minutes left until the end of the game, even if you add injury time. It's only a minute at most.

How to hold the last minute is the biggest problem facing the South Korean team. Obviously, after falling behind again, Argentina's attack will definitely be more furious, and it will not be so easy to keep the goal from conceding.

With a wave of his hand in the direction of the backcourt, Xu Dingmao gave instructions. Completely gave up the attack, and directly put on a barrel defensive formation. Let all the players of the South Korean team shrink within 35 meters in front of their goal.

Speaking of which, the scene is indeed a bit ugly, and this tactic is also a bit reckless. But at this time, where can Xu Dingmao still take care of his son, and being able to win the Argentine team is the biggest benefit.

Eating meat in your mouth is the most affordable, and if someone wants to say it, let him say it. With this kind of thinking, Xu Dingmao played the scoundrel style thoroughly.

After setting up the iron bucket formation, he played a trick to delay time - substitution.

Just right. After such a long time, the players in the back line of the South Korean team have consumed a lot of energy, and several older players have been unable to run. So, Xu Dingmao used all three substitutions at this time.

At this point in the game, even if you don't say it, the players know what the substitutions are for, so they will be a little slower when they are substituted to kill a little time. …,

The fourth official held up a sign showing the number of the player who had been substituted, and then one player sprinted to the sidelines. Three times in a row, three players went 'slow', and each of them consumed nearly thirty seconds. It adds up to a minute and a half.

Ninety seconds is not a long time, but it is different for the Argentine players. Now is the crucial moment when every second counts, let alone 90 seconds, even if it is 10 seconds, it is very important for the Argentine team.

All of them were very anxious, and some people couldn't help but want to step forward. He personally pushed the players of the Korean team to speed up and leave the field.

In fact, if the players of the Argentine team did step forward, they would have fallen into the trap of the South Korean team. "I'll go mine, what do you come up to push", as long as you grasp this reason and play freely, you can't say that you can consume some time.

Fortunately, the players of the Argentine team were still sober and did not make mistakes, so they did not give the South Korean team a new chance. After a minute and a half of waiting, all three men were replaced, and the game began again.

After the substitutions, there were less than five minutes left in the game. Seeing that the game was coming to an end, Argentina finally found an opportunity to play a decent attack.

Not to mention the dribbles and passes in front, the ball fell to Higuain's feet at the back, allowing him to form a goal.

The shot didn't go in and was saved by the South Korean goalkeeper. However, because the shooting distance was relatively close, the goalkeeper of the South Korean team was too late to make the action in place, so he was not able to hold the football in his arms.

After getting rid of it, the ball rolled forward at a very slow pace, and Higuain hurriedly followed, trying to make up again.

The South Korean goalkeeper hasn't gotten up yet, so he certainly won't be able to get ahead of Higuain to keep the ball in check. At this time, the goalkeeper of the South Korean team remembered what Xu Dingmao had told him before the game, so he did not hesitate to 'treat people and not the ball', and directly pounced on Higuain, who wanted to catch up and shoot.

There is no doubt that it was a red card and a penalty. The Argentine players jumped into the air of excitement as soon as the referee made the decision, and in their opinion, it was almost equivalent to an equaliser.

But when these people saw the expression on the face of the goalkeeper of the South Korean team, they were a little puzzled. was obviously sent off the field, and gave the opponent a penalty, no matter how you think about it, it should be very frustrating, why is this goalkeeper still calm and even a little proud?

Next, the players of the Argentine team understood, because they saw the action of Li Jingyuan stepping forward to take the gloves.

Rub, isn't this a pitfall? All the Argentine players immediately flashed the Spanish curse in their heads, and that's when they remembered. Lee Kyung-won is the first goalkeeper of the South Korean team, and his penalty-saving skills have also been proven in the last World Cup, which can be said to be the most difficult of the several goalkeepers of the South Korean team.

Knowing that the South Korean team had dug a big hole, they couldn't protest. There has been a precedent for a goalkeeper to be sent off again after a three-man substitution. At that time, the team that was awarded the penalty also found a person among the players on the field to play a temporary cameo as goalkeeper. In other words, the South Korean team sent Lee Kyung-won to guard the goal in this situation, and there was no violation of any rules at all, and the Argentine team had no reason to protest at all.

Higuain, who stood in front of the penalty spot, felt it the most. I thought that the goalkeeper of the South Korean team was sent off, and there were no substitutions, so they had to find a random person to act as the goalkeeper at the time, and it would be easier for them to score a penalty. But what I didn't expect was that. Far from getting easier, things are getting harder. This sense of contrast makes Higuain very awkward, and he feels as uncomfortable as eating a fly. …,

The mental state is not stable enough, so the action of free throws is affected. It's not that it's not precise enough, it's that it's not subtle enough.

It was this little flaw that made Li Jingyuan judge the route. Higuain's shot was tricky enough, but it was still pushed out of the side post by Li Jingyuan.

The penalty was missed. For Higuain himself. Or for the entire Argentine team, it was a huge blow.

And they also know that when the goalkeeper of the South Korean team is replaced by Lee Kyung-won. It's even harder to find the back of the net, which means that the penalty just now may be the best chance. The thought of this makes these Argentine players a little discouraged.

On the Korean side, however, Lee Kyung-won saved a penalty that greatly stimulated the players of the Korean team, and their morale was completely uplifted, and it seemed that even the fatigue accumulated before had been alleviated.

The atmosphere of the two teams was completely different, and the weak Argentine team against the high-spirited South Korean team, of course, could not score again, so the score of 2-1 continued until the end. In the end, the South Korean team won this group stage victory.

For South Korea, it was an unplanned victory. It's always nice to get a giveaway, so at the post-match press conference, South Korea's head coach Heo Ting-mo and captain Park Ji-sung couldn't help but be a little excited, and they also acted more relaxed when answering questions.

Seeing Xu Dingmao's smile, Maradona was very unhappy.

Lao Ma is the kind of person who can cause trouble without anything. Of course, it is impossible to maintain a demeanor when he is unhappy, so at the press conference, he directly criticized the actions of the South Korean team in the last moments, protested against their behavior in Laipi, and even claimed to file a lawsuit against Lai Shang like a child.

"I don't agree with Coach Maradona's words, it's simply an unjustified protest." After hearing Lao Ma's protest, Xu Dingmao also immediately refuted.

"First of all, we didn't break any rules, and it wasn't my invention to delay time by replacing people, there are so many precedents in the world, why can't it work for me to come here? I'll admit that my approach is a bit inauthentic, but it's just inauthentic. ”

"As for the penalty at the bottom, it doesn't seem like there's anything to say, right? I'll admit that our goalkeeper did commit a foul, but wasn't he already sent off and Argentina got a penalty? We have accepted the punishment that should be given, so what is there to say about that? ”

As soon as Xu Dingmao's words fell, the reporters immediately asked questions again.

"What? That's my instructions? If it weren't for my instructions, the goalkeeper wouldn't have pounced on Higuain? Hehe, your imagination is too rich. In that case, the goalkeeper can only do that, and I believe that even if the other goalkeeper is in that position, they will only make the same choice. That was his own judgment and had nothing to do with me. ”

Although it was arranged by himself before the game, Xu Dingmao would not be stupid enough to say it. If you don't say it, the goalkeeper who was sent off is a hero who 'keeps the opportunity in the Korean team', and Xu Dingmao himself will not be labeled as 'insidious', which is the best result.

"You're thieves~! Victory was ours~! Xu Dingmao's indifference made Maradona even more annoyed, and he couldn't control his temper for a while, so Lao Ma fired directly at Xu Dingmao.

Translated. Xu Dingmao also knew what Maradona was shouting, and he was also a little dissatisfied.

changed his expression, and Xu Dingmao also responded with a straight face: "Thief?? Hehe, can't you afford to lose? ”…,

"Okay. Just when you scored the penalty at the end of the day, but what about the goal we were blown away? If you count that goal, it's still one more for our Korean team, right? ”

"And I think it's more appropriate to give you back the word 'thief', everyone knows that you once stole the victory with the 'hand of God', and compared to your foul behavior, our Korean team is much more honest. We didn't foul any of them. At most, it's just a reasonable use of the rules. ”

A 'hand of God' made Maradona completely speechless, and in a hurry, Lao Ma simply gave up the demeanor of a national team coach and left the press conference directly.

Whether it was the game or the mouth cannon at the press conference, Xu Dingmao won. From this point of view, Maradona is really not a good manager.

After Maradona left. Xu Dingmao accepted a few more questions. At this time, there was no opponent, and the reporters would not continue to provoke, but asked Xu Dingmao about his evaluation of the players of the South Korean team.

The center of the topic is naturally Li Jingyuan.

In this game. There are too many topics on Li Jingyuan.

Appearing as a striker that no one expected, and with a goal that was blown away, he actually scored two goals against a strong team like Argentina.

Then, after the start of the second half, Li Jingyuan defended Messi of the Argentine team again, and once again made an unexpected outstanding performance, and finally prevented Messi from having to leave the game early.

The last thing was the goalkeeper before the end of the game. Li Jingyuan actually saved the penalty kick of the Argentine team at the last moment.

From scoring goals to saving penalties, Li Jingyuan's performance can be said to be extremely good. It is no exaggeration to even say that. He's the one who dominates the game.

In fact, without Lee Kyung-won, the Korean team lost to Argentina with a score of 1-4 in this game in history, and objectively speaking, it is not too much to say that he changed the whole game.

For the players under his command, it is Li Jingyuan who has the best performance. Of course, Xu Dingmao will not be stingy with praise, so after the reporter asked a question, he praised Li Jingyuan for a while.

Xu Dingmao said that it was called enthusiasm, and all kinds of words were used by him. Fortunately, Li Jingyuan did not come to the press conference this time, otherwise he would definitely have goosebumps after hearing Xu Dingmao's words.

"May I ask Coach Xu Dingmao, in the next match against Nigeria, where will you put Li Jingyuan? Should he return to the goalkeeper position, or should he continue to be a striker? ”

This can already be regarded as spying on the military situation, so even if the reporters are very eager to know the answer, Xu Dingmao still did not give a positive answer.

Seeing that Xu Dingmao didn't answer, the reporters threw out another question: "At present, Li Jingyuan has scored three goals in two games, and is temporarily in the first place in the scorer list, as the head coach, will you arrange other players to give Li Jingyuan more support in the next game, or simply fix him in the forward position and let him attack the Golden Boot Award in this competition?" ”

In the first game, he scored two free kicks as a goalkeeper, and in the second game, he scored a beautiful long-distance run as a striker.

But in reality, the goalkeeper gets fewer chances after all, and the striker position is more convenient for scoring more goals. The reporters asked this question to find out the news from the side, even if Xu Dingmao did not give a positive answer, they could also know his tendencies.

"Well, I'm not sure. Even though we won this game, it doesn't mean that we are already strong, and for South Korea, the priority is to make sure we get a result and then we can think about anything else. Of course, if Lee Kyung-won can win the Golden Boot Award, it will be a very exciting thing for us, and I am here to sincerely wish him success. ”

After a lot of talking, Xu Dingmao still didn't give a positive answer, but the reporters are not fuel-efficient lamps.

With two wins, South Korea have already secured six points and have basically secured a place in qualifying, which means that the next game against Nigeria is not too important and will not have much of an impact on whether they win or lose.

Combined with the sentence 'the first priority is the result, followed by the others', it is clear that in the game against Nigeria, Li Jingyuan has a good chance of gaining the support of the whole team, and then brushing himself up with one or two goals.

"Fantastic Goalkeeper Part-time Striker, Final Goal Aims for Golden Boot", after the analysis, such news appeared the next day, which once again focused the attention of fans on Li Jingyuan.
