"Defensive counterattack!! In the second half, all we needed to do was play directly behind their defence without conceding a goal!! ”
In the England dressing room, Gao Bo pointed behind Demichelis and Garay, who represented Argentina's two central defenders!!
"They're slow to turn around, and this is our chance!"
Gao Bo said.
He has never been a coach who is obsessed with a certain philosophy of football to the point of being stubborn to the point of not knowing how to change.
If I had to classify him, then Gao Bo's football philosophy would be - victory!
Whatever tactics can win the game, then what tactics will he use!
Not to mention a defensive counterattack.
If a 10-0-0 formation can win the game, then he will not hesitate!
....
As soon as the second half began, the Argentine team immediately launched an onslaught!!
The forty-eighth minute of the game! Ravic crosses from the left edge of the spot, Higuain heads in from the edge of the six-yard box and is blocked by Maguire!!
In the fifty-third minute of the game, Messi took the ball at the top of the arc of the penalty area, turned around and forced a shot, which was also blocked!!
The Argentine team faced the defensive formation of England, and there was nothing too good for a while.
Because although Argentina's frontcourt is full of stars, it is all played around Messi, and everyone knows that strangling Messi basically strangles most of the Argentine team's offense.
"At the start of the second half, Argentina controlled most of the ball, but they were not able to threaten Joe Hart's goal, and England, who were leading by one goal, put on a counter-attack!"
Chinese commentator Duan hung on the commentary seat, taking advantage of the fact that the pace of the game was not fast during this time, and made a small summary of the situation on the field.
"Hehe, this is a very reasonable style of play, if England and Argentina fight with the foot skills, the ability to control the ball, then I am afraid it is not comparable... However, they are now one goal ahead of their opponents, and they can play counter-attacks with peace of mind, and now it depends on Argentina's attacking ability!! ”
Zhang Lu on the side added.
...
On the sidelines, Gao Bo clenched his hands into fists, the expression on his face was very indifferent, he was just staring at the court, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Compared with the Argentine coach Saraola, who is very rich in body movements on the other side, Gao Bo looks much calmer.
"Coach Gao Bo is very calm, he looks like he is in the chest, which is very good news for us..."
England's commentator Rentkinson said.
England fans know very well that in terms of strength, this England team's lineup is actually very dicked, and compared with those star-studded teams, it is really not worth mentioning.
However, England have high waves!
This is the biggest star of the team, he once led an English second division team to a miraculous FA Cup title, and also led this team to win the Europa League!
He won back-to-back Champions League titles!!
He's the best in the world!!
The team he leads is naturally full of confidence!!
The same goes for England's players.
When Messi's shot grazed the post, England's players looked to the sidelines in shock.
When they saw their boss's calm face, they were relieved.
Nothing to be nervous about!
It's all under the boss's control!!
England's players are becoming more and more confident defensively!!
In this way, it will be more difficult for Argentina to score.
....
Is Gao Bo really as calm as people seem?
When Messi shoots, his eyelids are jumping!!
But he knows that he is the backbone of this team, and no matter what, he can't have negative emotions such as "panic", "anxiety", "worry" and so on on his face!
He has to build confidence in the players on the pitch!
At this stage, the pressure on the team is increasing.
As the backbone of the team, of course, he can't be crushed. 、
Just look at Saraola.
He danced on the sidelines, but it didn't really work. 、
On the contrary, it made the Argentine players anxious. 、
In fact, there is still plenty of time, but Argentina's attack is getting simpler and simpler. 、
They became less and less patient to patiently organize the attack, and the long-range shots from the perimeter began to increase.
Gao Bo looked at the time.
It's 60 minutes into the game!!
Argentina has been besieging for fifteen minutes!
Should... It's almost at a certain point!!
He just needs a chance...
A chance to kill the game!!
....
The game is in a kind of balance at this time!
England defends, Argentina attacks!
In this case, the two sides reached a state of equilibrium in the wrestling on the field.
England are not going to take the initiative to upset this balance because it is in their favour and it is better to spend the whole game at this pace....
However, Argentina will not be able to let this continue, they must break the deadlock and change the balance of the game!
Therefore, in the 63rd minute of the game, Saraola made a substitution adjustment!!
The Argentine team changed two people in a row!
Sergio Aguero, who returned from injury, replaced Higuain, and Palacio came off the bench to replace Enzo Perez!
When the other party completed the substitution, Gao Bo's eyes shone wrong.
Substitutions are bound to make a difference... However, this change will not necessarily be beneficial to Argentina...
....
Argentina's offensive is getting closer and closer!!
Before they knew it, even their centre-backs were overpowering half the pitch!
At the edge of their penalty area, Romero was left alone.
"Messi is dribbling, Gerrard and Henderson are teaming up to intercept... Messi !! Beautiful!! Both of England's midfielders were thrown off by him!!! ”
"Messi!! Messi !!! Messi !!!! ”
The Argentine commentators are starting to make noise!!
Messi started to cut inside!!
But at this time, a sharp whistle brought the Argentine offensive to an abrupt halt!!
Maguire stepped up and didn't poke the ball away, but knocked Messi to the ground!!
The referee's whistle blows!
Maguire fouled !!
However, he did not mean to draw a card, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the Argentine players, but no matter what they said, it was impossible to change the referee's decision.
Argentina win a free kick on the left wing!
The free kick in this location is a bit off, and the angle is not good if you shoot directly, but Messi is still standing in front of the ball, so he should not let it go!
Messi ran and sent the ball out!
The ball is very fast, and it looks like a pass and a shot!!
Joe Hart struck quickly .... Punched the ball out of the box!!
Gerrard added a kick from just outside the box and kicked the ball forward!!
"Rooney !!!"
Lightkinson shouted!
Wayne Rooney receives the ball near the centre circle!!
Argentina's backfield.... It's very empty!!
Opportunity....
Here's your chance!!
Gao Bo's fists tightened suddenly!!!
At this moment, Rooney glanced at the opponent's goal, and then.... I chose a sling !!
The football flew over the pitch and towards the Argentine goal....
