Romero is only 23 years old but has already won a number of titles, winning the FIFA Under-20 World Cup with Argentina in 2007 and Argentina winning the men's gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. In 2009, Romero won the Dutch league and Super Cup with AZ Alkmaar.

In this World Cup schedule, he has also appeared as the main player in the qualifiers three times, and because of his stable performance, he was favored by coach Maradona, so he was finally officially promoted as the first goalkeeper of the Argentine team in the finals stage.

Although he performed well and had a lot of experience, he was only 23 years old in the end. Romero, who was born in 87, is the same age as Li Jingyuan, but he is only a few months older than him.

Such a young man is definitely not as stable as the veteran players, so when Romero found out about the sneak attack of the Korean team, he was a little flustered.

Seeing the soccer ball coming in the air, Romero immediately moved his feet and retreated, and then jumped up and stretched out his hand to hold the ball.

The timing was a little late, but fortunately Romero was tall enough and had long arms, and he finally managed to touch the bottom of the ball with his fingertips.

From a distance, the trajectory of the soccer ball does not seem to change, but in fact, it is not, the soccer ball is still moved a little distance upward, although it is less than two centimeters, but it does change course.

It was these two centimeters that saved the Argentine team. If it is two centimeters down, the ball will hit the bottom edge of the goal frame and then bounce back into the goal, and now after two centimeters high, the ball will bounce back into the field after hitting the goal frame.

Listening to a muffled sound from the door frame behind him, Romero, who fell to the ground, quickly turned his head to look back, and then saw the football bouncing on the grass and rolling towards him.

Although it was only a kick-off, the South Korean players had not advanced to the Argentine half, and Romero did not have a single Korean player by his side, but he still did not dare to be careless after being frightened. Hurriedly crawled a few steps against the grass and crushed the football under him.

From Li Jingyuan's kick to Romero's control of the football, there were only a few seconds in between. But that's just a few seconds. It scared the players of the Argentine team into a cold sweat.

Maradona, who stayed on the sidelines, was also a little frightened. The king of the ball had a temper tantrum and immediately jumped up from the coach's bench and yelled at the Argentine players in the stadium while dancing.

Although I don't understand what Maradona is shouting, I know that he must be losing his temper when I think about it.

Glancing at Maradona, the head coach of the South Korean team, Heo Dingmao, couldn't help but snicker, while feeling pleased with Lee Kyung-won's performance. I also feel a little aggrieved for the players of the Argentine team.

Did the Argentine players make mistakes? Apparently not.

It was not the opportunity to give the South Korean team a chance to hit the goal after conceding a goal in the sports battle, nor was it a set-piece sent after a foul, Lee Kyung-won seized the opportunity to kick off in the center circle and shot directly, which had nothing to do with the players of the Argentine team at all.

If you insist on responsibility, at most Romero can only be blamed, after all, his position is a little bit forward.

But then again, Romero wasn't the only goalkeeper who would stand up front at the start, many people would have the same habit. But there are not many goalkeepers who can make such a wonderful save and save their own team. For a while, Romero has more merit than demerit. It's time to put on a show, right?

Not only did he not praise him, but he yelled at the players to express his dissatisfaction, but also at the beginning of the game, from which it seems that Maradona's coaching level is not so superb. …,

Not sober enough, after seeing Maradona's performance, Xu Dingmao made a judgment, which also made him a little relieved.

After all, the opponent is the king of the world, even if he just appears on the field as the head coach, Maradona still brings a lot of pressure to Xu Dingmao. And now. The pressure brought by this fame has been reduced a lot, in other words, Xu Dingmao can also play his command ability normally.

The performances of the two managers will not be mentioned for the time being, so let's get our eyes back on the field again.

After being attacked, the players of the Argentine team were a little afraid, and the mentality of the defenders was suddenly much more cautious. And the players in the front court are full of thoughts, wanting to avenge this arrow.

As was expected before the opening, the Argentine players launched a massive attack, and the only difference was their mentality, not the usual stability, but a little bit of fire.

The strength of the Argentine team is far above that of the South Korean team, as long as they play their level normally, they can achieve an absolute advantage, and it is only a matter of time before the South Korean team is full of holes and scores.

However, with a little more fire, the Argentine team played differently. Although it still seems to be on the offensive, a closer look reveals that they did not use the best short-pass penetration combination, but used a hard way.

This is exactly what the South Korean team is doing. You must know that Messi, the first star of the Argentine team, is a notoriously small man, and what he is not good at is heading, and this way of lifting high and playing high cannot let him play at all.

As a result, Argentina's attack looked fierce, but in fact they didn't use their full strength, and the South Korean players defended a little more easily, not as hard as expected before the opening.

This situation lasted for almost ten minutes, and it was only after Messi in the forward line complained that the Argentine midfielders reacted and returned to their usual way of playing.

If they had attacked in the way they were best at the beginning, Argentina might have scored by this time. But now, ten minutes have passed, and the South Korean players are familiar with the faces of the big names in the Argentine team, and they will no longer be nervous about their fame, and they have gradually become familiar with their rhythm, and the efficiency of defense has also improved a lot, in this case, it is not so easy for the Argentine team to score goals.

South Korea are very resilient, although not as exaggerated as the German team, but they are also notoriously strong.

After resisting for ten minutes. South Korea finally seized an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The football was handed to Park Ji-sung, and after a few more passes, it finally came to within 30 meters of the back of the Argentine team.

Qi Chengyong won the ball on the right and broke through Argentina's left-back Heinze. He went down to the baseline and then finally passed the ball before another Argentine player stepped forward to make up for it.

Qi Chengyong passed a high-altitude ball, which landed a little more than a meter in front of the Argentine team's small penalty area.

The person in charge of competing for the landing point is Li Jingyuan.

Although the South Korean team has been suppressed in the first ten minutes, Li Jingyuan did not go back to participate in the defense, on the one hand, because his defensive skills are not up to par, even if he goes back to help, it will not play a big role. On the other hand, because of Xu Dingmao's arrangement, he wanted to use his speed and height to fight back.

didn't go back to defend, it was equivalent to disappearing for ten minutes, after all, in those ten minutes, the ball was never able to pass to the half of the Argentine team, and Li Jingyuan naturally had no room to play. …,

Disappeared for ten minutes, which seems to be quite unsatisfactory to say, but it is not completely without benefits.

At the very least. These ten minutes of concealment allowed Li Jingyuan to gain enough space.

A hanging shot after the opening made Li Jingyuan the focus of the Argentine team's backline. These people were worried that he would suddenly get another kick, so since that shot, Li Jingyuan has been closely targeted.

But after ten minutes, Li Jingyuan didn't show any performance at all, which made the Argentine players who were marking him relax their vigilance, and their defensive strength dropped a lot. At the beginning, it was almost an inch, but now, it will leave Li Jingyuan about two meters of room to move.

The distance of these two meters is enough for Li Jingyuan to rush up.

I've been following the trends in football all the time. When Qi Chengyong was carrying the ball on the side, Li Jingyuan was also following up in the middle, so as soon as the ball was passed, he immediately judged the landing point, and then rushed straight towards the landing point.

Demichelis has a strong one-on-one ability and a good header. With a high pass success rate, it is a sharp weapon against speed strikers at the back.

However, even with such a strong strength, it is still a little insufficient against Li Jingyuan. It's not that Demichelis's skills are not enough, but Li Jingyuan is too strong after rushing up.

Not to mention the speed, the key is the large amount of force. As long as Li Jingyuan occupies the landing spot first, it is not so simple to push him away.

left two meters of space for Li Jingyuan before, and he was not able to stop his sprint at the first time. In terms of absolute speed, he couldn't compare to Li Jingyuan, so even if the distance from the landing point was about the same, Demichelis still couldn't catch up with Li Jingyuan to occupy the position.

was robbed by Li Jingyuan, Demichelis had no choice but to jump hard, even if he couldn't top the ball, he had to interfere with Li Jingyuan's movements.

When he first jumped up, he didn't feel it, but after a moment, Demichelis was startled.

Li Jingyuan, who jumped again after running, was really terrifying. Even if Demichelis used a small action to push people in the air, Li Jingyuan was not affected at all. And the jump height is not at the same level, Li Jingyuan's jump, the height of his shoulders is more than Demichelis.

As soon as it was dark, Demichelis crashed into Li Jingyuan's arms, feeling like he had hit a high wall, and then fell straight down.

How the opponent reacted, Li Jingyuan didn't have the heart to think about it at all, and when he ushered in the ball, he immediately shook his head.

jumped high and saw clearly, although Li Jingyuan only glanced at it, he had already found the other party's gap. With that header shot, the ball flew straight to the far corner, a little farther away from Romero.

The ball is not very fast, but the angles are tricky.

Romero made a save, and it was a wonderful leap of the fish. Unfortunately, even if he stretched his arms to the limit, he still couldn't reach the football.

Sticking to the inside of the goalpost, grazing the side netting, the football flew into the Argentine goal, bringing a wave of spray to the net.

"Beep~~!!" The whistle sounded, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at the referee.

Li Jingyuan, who was about to celebrate, suddenly stopped, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face. It turned out that the referee's arm was not pointing to the center circle, but to the direction of the Argentine team's goal.

"For what??? For what?? Not only Lee Kyung-won, but other South Korean players also gathered in front of the referee and protested loudly.

Such a brilliant goal was blown away. It's a pity. Moreover, the opponent is still Argentina, it is not easy to score goals, and whether or not you can take the lead will also have a huge impact on the direction of the next game. So from that point of view, this goal is even more important. …,

"You've committed a foul." didn't explain much, after hearing Li Jingyuan's protests and inquiries, the referee just replied coldly, still maintaining his original posture, and pointed his hand firmly in the direction of Argentina's goal.

Judging from the referee's experience, Li Jingyuan must have pressed his hand on Demichelis. That's an extra boost, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to jump that high. And after the physical contact, Demichelis turned on his back again, which also made the referee more convinced of his thoughts.

is angry and funny, if it weren't for the fact that he had been rectified countless times in variety shows and had developed a good temper, Li Jingyuan would have wanted to beat this referee.

"Sir, now there's a replay on the big screen, so let's take a look. I don't expect you to change the sentence either. But can I ask you not to be so arbitrary? At the very least, please be fair for the rest of the day. Shaking his head, Li Jingyuan could only point to the big screen in the stadium and say to the referee.

In other words, Li Jingyuan's sentence is tantamount to questioning the referee's law enforcement level, after the referee heard it. I was going to show him a yellow card. But after subconsciously glancing at the big screen, the referee could only stop the action in his hand, because the footage played back on the big screen had proved his mistake, Li Jingyuan and Demichelis did not make any small movements at all when they came into contact, and their skills were extremely clean, but the other party used some hidden small movements.

'It's a good ball. The referee immediately made such a judgment, but since the penalty has been made, it cannot be changed, and with some apologies, the referee can only show an embarrassed expression to Li Jingyuan.

At this time. The psychology of the referee has changed. On the one hand, it was because of the misjudgment just now, which made him feel a little guilty, and on the other hand, it was Li Jingyuan's performance after the goal was blown away.

Listening to Li Jingyuan's protest just now, I felt that he was questioning the referee. But now that I think about it, it doesn't feel so harsh. Li Jingyuan did not blindly yell and yell, nor did he scold outrageously. Instead, he was shown on the big screen first, and then he said 'I don't expect you to be able to change the sentence', which can already be said to be very mild. Thinking of this, the referee has a better sense of Lee Kyung-won and even the entire Korean team.

Because of this mentality, in the next game, the referee took care of the Korean team. The so-called 'lost mulberry harvest east corner' is like this, even if the referee's care is not too obvious, but it cannot be denied that the pressure on the Korean team is indeed less.

Neither the Argentine team nor the commentators commentators had anything to say about the situation.

As an Argentine team, you have already escaped a difficulty, so what is it to be troubled now? What's more, the referee's care for the Korean team is not so obvious.

In the opinion of commentators, it is normal for the referee to give some small care to the South Korean team, and it is all too common to find a balance in football. And they don't blame the referee, after all, if you really think about it, it is the Argentine team that gets more benefits, and the referee's statement that it favors the South Korean team is untenable.

The game continued. If it was the Argentine team that pressed the South Korean team just now, then it is a stalemate now.

On the one hand, it was because of the referee's care that the South Korean team was helped, and on the other hand, because the Argentine team took the initiative to slow down the offensive, after all, they had already suffered a loss just now, and they didn't want to be counterattacked by the South Korean team again. Anyway, if they are scored again, the referee will definitely not make a decision for them to invalidate the goal.

The South Korean team gradually went on the offensive, because more troops were put in support, and Lee Kyung-won, who was on the front line, also got more shells.

Like a fish in water, this is Li Jingyuan's current state. Although he will not break through, as a pillar center, Li Jingyuan has already overfulfilled the task.

With his own impact, Li Jingyuan made the opponent's back line a mess, as long as his teammates passed the high-altitude ball, Li Jingyuan could fight for the top to the landing point. Whether it was attacking the goal directly by himself or ferrying it to others, Li Jingyuan did a very good job, and created several chances in front of the goal of the Argentine team.

In this way, the stalemate lasted until the end of the first half.

The players of both teams walked into the tunnel in turn. Lee Kyung-won was a striker, and when he left the pitch, he was surrounded by Argentine defenders.

Just when he entered the player's tunnel, Li Jingyuan saw Maradona and wanted to go up to say hello and show his respect for his idol, but after hearing what Maradona said to Demichelis, he was a little angry.
