The race is on!

The Chinese team reversed the previous game strategy against Brazil and pressed hard from the beginning.

After several World Youth Championship games, the players are basically familiar with the team's entire offensive and defensive system, coupled with the physical strength at the beginning, which makes the Chinese team's midfield pressure very integral.

Argentina was obviously prepared for this large-scale attacking tactic of the Chinese team and began to retreat to its own half.

Despite the persistence against Brazil, the most impressive thing about the Chinese team in the first few games was the hearty and skillful attacking cooperation in the midfield, and the defensive end has always given people a feeling of instability.

Therefore, when formulating the game plan before the game, Pancho Ferraro also carefully studied the possibility of the Chinese team's large-scale attack, and even he thought that this possibility was very high, so he also made targeted arrangements.

Since there was only a three-day gap between the semi-finals and the finals, it was difficult to go deep into the targeted tactics, but in the end, they were also rehearsed.

The Argentine players quickly settled their rhythm in central midfield.

The Chinese team took advantage of the momentum of the opening attack, successfully controlled the ball, and patiently pressed to the half of the Argentine team.

But in the face of Argentina's tight defense, it is indeed difficult for the Chinese team to create opportunities.

In particular, Argentina's midfielder kept a close eye on Yang Yang, intending to cut off the connection between other players of the Chinese team and Yang Yang, which made the Chinese team repeatedly want to pass the ball to Yang Yang, but they were unsuccessful.

In the fifth minute of the opening game, the Chinese team made a passing error, and Argentina counterattacked.

Messi quickly drove the ball forward, rushed all the way to the edge of the penalty area, and then passed to the right, and Argentine midfielder Alchubi followed up with a long-range shot directly from the right side of the box, but it couldn't be on target.

"Argentina had their first shot of the game and looked a little anxious."

"Long shot from outside the box from Rodrigo Alchubi."

"Although it didn't create a threat, it was also a cold sweat, and if you were more patient and cooperated, maybe you would have this kick."

"The Chinese team still has to pay attention to the counterattack of the Argentine team."

……

After the goal kick was taken, the Chinese team still passed forward quickly along the wings.

Argentina still adopts the tactics of retreating and counterattacking, deliberately avoiding the sharpness of the Chinese team at the beginning.

Yang Yang learned from the experience just now and further expanded his range of activities, not only on the left side, but also on the middle lane.

When the ball reached the front, Zhou Haibin kicked straight and passed to the feet of Yang Yang at the edge of the penalty area, but the Argentine players blocked behind him and did not give him any chance to turn around.

Yang Yang passed diagonally back to the left side of the midfield, and Hao Junmin ran over to catch the ball.

At this time, the offensive shortcomings of the Chinese team were also reflected, that is, the lack of two wings to plug in the back.

The two fullbacks are relatively conservative and easily not inserted, which makes the Chinese team's wings more dependent on the cooperation between Yang Yang and Hao Junmin, but with only two players, the offensive means are much more monotonous.

On the contrary, at this time, if the left wing-back can be inserted quickly, then the means are rich and three-dimensional.

But sometimes football is like that, and there's no way to force everything to go your way.

Hao Junmin couldn't get a chance on the left and passed back to the back to reorganize.

Yang Yang applauded vigorously and affirmed Hao Junmin's actions.

Instead of rushing to the front and giving the ball to Argentina, it is better to reorganize the backfield with a return pass.

After that, the Chinese team tried to attack again along the left flank, but they could not create a threat, and once again passed back to the backfield, and the Argentine team stared at China's Yang Yang very much.

Feng Xiaoting got the ball in the backcourt, noticed Yang Yang's gesture in the frontcourt, and then saw Gao Lin pull it out to the right side, and he immediately drove forward with a big foot.

Facing Argentina is different from facing Germany, and the center forward still has a certain advantage.

This time, he pulled out to the outside of the penalty area, faced Feng Xiaoting's pass, immediately stuck the position, and headed back to the midfield.

After Chen Tao received the ball, he shook a shot and was about to rush to the bottom line, but suddenly buckled and cut the ball to the middle.

Yang Yang was also mentally prepared, and ran all the way from the left side along the front of the penalty area to respond.

Chen Tao passed the ball horizontally to Yang Yang.

Next to him is Gago, the Argentine midfielder known as Redondo II is not strong in defense, and compared with his predecessor Redondo, it is indeed much inferior.

When Yang Yang ran over, he was facing the direction of the attack, and Chen Tao's cross was right in front of him.

Gago's first swoop down on him, trying to stop him.

Yang Yang stopped the ball from the right side with his left foot, and he was about to hit the goal with his feet, but Gago was obviously mentally prepared, and as soon as he gave way sideways, he wanted to block it with his body.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yang suddenly buckled with his right foot and pulled the ball back to the left side.

Zabaleta defended on the left side of Gago and immediately realised something was wrong and rushed over quickly.

But Yang Yang was obviously one step faster, his body shape was quickly adjusted, his right foot stood still, and his left foot picked up and hit directly!

"Yang Yang knocks on the door!" The narrator exclaimed.

When Yang Yang dunked Gago again, goalkeeper Ustari reacted very quickly and stood in the middle of the goal as soon as possible.

The reason is very simple, at this time, Zabaleta has blocked a large part of Yang Yang's shot angle on the left side of the goal, and the most threatening area is the middle, and usually, after this continuous smash, it has changed to a contrarian foot, and the most likely is to hit the middle directly.

But after Yang Yang buckled it back, he directly hit the upper right corner with his left foot.

The ball flew between Zabaleta and Gago, but instead of heading directly into the middle, it flew towards the top right corner of the goal.

After Ustari reacted, he flew in as soon as possible, but no matter how much he stretched his arms, he couldn't stop the ball from going into the net.

"The ball is in!!"

"Yang Yang! Yang Yang has scored!!! ”

"In the ninth minute, just nine minutes into the first half, the Chinese team took the lead in knocking on Argentina's goal!"

"Yang Yang hit the first shot of the Chinese team of the game, and it hit it directly!"

After Yang Yang scored, he quickly rushed out of the stadium, rushed all the way to the underside of the stands where the Chinese team fans were, and slid to the sidelines, while his teammates behind him pounced and hugged him.

"Great!"

"Yang Yang's form today is indeed quite good."

"The Chinese team was in an unfavorable situation in the first half, but Yang Yang's shooting sense of smell was very sensitive, and after smashing the ball in a row to shake off the Argentine midfielder Gago, he hit the goal with his left foot!"

"It was a very clean shot from the edge of the box!"

"This is Yang Yang! This is the hero of our Chinese team, Yang Yang! ”

By the time Yang Yang got up from the ground, he had already looked excitedly at the stands, found the area where his parents and Su Ye and the others were, raised his right hand high, and made a gesture with his fingers.

He's telling them in this way that he's scored a goal.

Ibrahimovic and other teammates were screaming and yelling, and everyone was cheering for Yang Yang's goal.

And the Swedish center forward, who has always had a very low shooting efficiency, saw Yang Yang score with the first shot in this game, and I don't know if he will feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

…………

…………

Messi stood on the field depressed, with his hands on his waist and shook his head.

To concede in the opening nine minutes was a bit too fast.

The process of scoring just now was very fast, finding the center forward with a long pass from the back of the Chinese team, ferrying the header to the right winger, and then cutting the ball inside and passing it to Yang Yang, Yang Yang hit the goal directly after smashing the ball past Gago in a row.

From initiation to goal, only two players passed in the middle, which is indeed very efficient, but the most important thing is Yang Yang's series of actions at the front of the penalty area, which is the key to scoring goals.

It can be said that this goal reflects Yang Yang's strength.

It is not easy to score 31 goals in the Eredivisie, to become the winner of the European Golden Boy Award, to be the best player in the UEFA Cup!

But I didn't admit defeat so easily!

Messi thought through gritted teeth.

…………

…………

The game resumes.

After scoring a goal, the Chinese team began to consciously slow down the offensive.

This is also the tactic formulated by head coach Crawford before the game, that is, after a period of attack, regardless of whether he can score or not, he must retreat, because the Chinese team must let Argentina press out and then fight the opponent counterattack.

After conceding the goal, Argentina began to fight back and made the first yellow card of the game four minutes later to the Chinese team.

But soon, the Chinese team played a counterattack, Yang Yang stopped the ball in the front, and passed back to Zhou Haibin, who passed diagonally to the right side, and Chen Tao followed up with a direct shot more than 20 meters away, which was too high.

Chen Tao apologized to Yang Yang and his teammates apologetically, he felt confident before he got up, but he didn't expect to be in a hurry, the ball couldn't be suppressed, and it turned into an anti-aircraft gun.

Yang Yang applauded his teammates vigorously and encouraged him not to take it to heart.

Argentina continued to launch a counterattack, and the Chinese team played another counterattack in the 19th minute.

This time it was Argentina's own central defender Garay who made a mistake when he cleared the ball with a header, and after Yang Yang broke the ball in the front court, he took the ball directly to the left side of the penalty area, forced a one-on-one break through Argentina's fullback, and picked up the ball with his left foot to pass the back of the goal.

But Gao Lin, who followed up, failed to hit the right part, and the ball went directly out of the bottom line.

Four minutes later, it was Yang Yang who created another opportunity on the left side, Hao Junmin crossed diagonally to the right, Chen Tao stopped the ball on the right edge of the penalty area and got up, but the play was too right, and it was directly confiscated by Argentine goalkeeper Ustari.

The first half was played one after another.

After spending the first ten minutes, Argentina quickly regained control of the game, and the Chinese team retreated in full force.

But although Argentina has the advantage on the field, it is the Chinese team that really gets more shooting opportunities.

It's a pity that the player's ability to grasp the opportunity is indeed a little worse.

In the 31st minute of the first half, after receiving a pass from his teammates on the left side, Messi ran for nearly 40 meters at a long distance, and after passing three players of the Chinese team in a row, he faced Feng Xiaoting in the penalty area.

One-on-one, Feng Xiaoting failed to stop Messi, and he didn't dare to easily kick in the penalty area, and finally let Messi score.

One to one, the two sides returned to the same running line.
