Bai Yansong wrote a rather inspiring report:

The semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup are out, Brazil, Germany, Argentina, China, the three giants and the upstart China will fight to the death for the final championship. Will the Chinese team continue to stop in the semi-finals, or will it cut down the giants and achieve supreme glory? The three giants have won a total of 10 World Cup titles and eight runners-up, while China has only one third place. Judging from the previous confrontation experience, the Chinese team has never been afraid of the Argentine team, and the probability of advancing to the final is much easier than four years ago, our real opponent is actually Germany or Brazil, but Germany is too stable, even Brazil is estimated to have to lie down, in the end, we have to face Germany. Crowchen will eventually have to face his homeland, and the most beautiful ending is naturally China's defeat of Germany......

It is clear that Argentina is being ignored. Even the domestic Batistuta is not optimistic about Argentina, he said in an interview with the newspaper "Ole": "Who is the big man in the Argentine team? There is no doubt about Messi. Who is the second master? There is no doubt about it, it is Di Maria. Di Maria is the second best player in the Argentine team since the start of this World Cup. A good man with three gangs, now Argentina has reached the semifinals, Messi needs the assistance of his teammates even if he is magical, and his best partner Di Maria is injured, plus Aguero, who was injured before, will be even more lonely in the future. And what we met was the Chinese team, and the Chinese team is a very amazing team because they have a real leader. It's just that the Chinese people don't want to admit it, compared to Messi, the Chinese Dong Cai wants Maradona more......"

Batistuta's remarks were naturally bombarded by domestic fans, and the fans didn't understand why Batistuta always wanted to grow up others to destroy his prestige, why couldn't he say something good about Argentina? He's Argentine, but he's always going against the Argentinians!

Maradona himself jumped out to criticize Batistuta: "He didn't win the World Cup, so he was always so pessimistic, understandably, in fact we have always been on the right path. ”

Then Maradona also gave a bullish example: "I was 26 years old when I led Argentina to the championship, and Messi was 26 years old......"

It's a pity that Messi celebrated his 27th birthday during the World Cup......

The strange thing is that the odds of Argentina and Germany have been soaring, and they have actually jumped to the first place!

Several major spinach companies updated the odds of winning the championship again before the semi-finals, and the Argentine team surpassed Brazil and Germany to jump to the team with the highest call to win the World Cup for the first time, and China was only ranked fourth!

The odds of winning the semi-finals have changed a lot overall, with Brazil's two core cores, Neymar and Silva, set to miss the semi-finals, and the team's odds to win the championship have plummeted from the top to third, with the host being the team with the highest call to win the championship.

Germany moved up to second place. Argentina jumped to the top of the table thanks to their excellent offensive and defensive performances against Belgium, while China, who had just beaten the Netherlands, were not favoured, falling short of the top three. However, on the whole, the gap between the four teams is not obvious, among which William Hill offers odds, Argentina, Germany and Brazil are three-legged, which shows the fierce competition in this World Cup.

It should be emphasized that it is the first time that Argentina have climbed to the top of the list in the odds of winning the World Cup. Although the Argentine team also lost Di Maria and Aguero, Messi's high form, Higuain is getting better, and the game is still played on South American soil after all, many factors combine to make bettors more inclined to favor Argentina to win the final championship.

But the odds are just for reference, and they don't tell the whole story. Take the Chinese team as an example, the current Chinese team has the lowest odds in the top 4 (around 4.4 on average), but none of the other three opponents dares to underestimate the Chinese team. China is one of the most attacking teams in this tournament and is adept at turning their opponents back to win. The Chinese team is not afraid to play against the wind, which makes the opponent deeply afraid, and these key numbers are not reflected in the odds.

In an interview with the reporter of the French "Le10sport" website, Van Bitten did not hide his regret for missing the opportunity to qualify, as well as his strong disdain for the Argentine team, he said: "We obviously missed a golden opportunity to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, which is too depressing." Argentina? They played too ordinary. Let me tell you this, if it were Germany who were to compete with Argentina for the semi-finals today, Savilla's team would have lost three goals, at least! ”

"Argentina in the final? Don't be funny! I don't think so at all. In my opinion, Messi and his teammates are able to reach the last four, and they will definitely not be able to go further. ”

"I'm sure China will let them go home! They can't win against China at all, and Messi can't win against China Dong! ”

※※※※

But no matter what people outside say, the Chinese team doesn't dare to really despise Argentina, in the past few days, Crawford has been studying Argentina with his disciples behind closed doors, details determine success or failure, if you don't study Argentina thoroughly, how can you defeat the opponent?

At this time, Dong Fangzhuo has the right to speak.

"They're too dependent on Messi."

"It was like that six years ago, it was like this four years ago, it was the same now, and it is estimated that it will be the same in four years, in fact, the strongest Argentina was in 2005, and Argentina that beat us at the World Youth Championships was the strongest Argentina, so when we met later, we were the ones who won."

'They always get used to passing the ball to Messi and letting Messi solve the problem, so it's safest to keep him away from the box. Di Maria and Sergio Aguero are not around, only Higuain is in the middle, and we have to cut the link between the two of them. ”

"This year's Argentina is quite quick to switch between attack and defense, although there are few goals, but their defense is really good, so we have to be faster than Argentina!"

"I thought, since Messi has come back to organize the attack, then I'll come back too?" Dong Fangzhuo looked at Crowchen and put forward a lot of his own opinions, "I can help defend Messi." ”

"I've thought about it."

Crouchen nodded, agreeing with Dong Fangzhuo's idea.

"So, Argentina depends on Messi, and we have to rely on someone other than you, and that's probably the biggest difference between us and them."

"They don't seem to have seen through this all along?"
