Argentina coach Pekerman, on the other hand, does not think his team will lose.

After last year's Copa America, the madman Bielsa led the team to a defeat, but the Argentine Football Federation still trusted him. Argentina won the 2004 Athens Olympics without Brazil, but Bielsa unexpectedly resigned.

The Argentine Football Federation wanted to have Bianchi, who led Boca Juniors to consecutive Copa Libertadores, take over, but Bianchi refused. Eventually, Pekerman took charge of the Argentine team.

Pekerman's personality is more introverted and calm, and his coaching style is also influenced by his personality, steady but not conservative, pursuing a balance between offense and defense and lineup change. The media generally believes that Pekerman's selection of personnel is unique, and he does not arrange the squad according to the size of the player's fame, but selects the player who he thinks is suitable for the team's style of play.

So there is no place for Crespo in this Argentine team, and he likes to use Figoroa, Delgado Jr., Tevez and so on in the forward line.

At the pre-match press conference, in response to the media's general disapproval of Argentina, Pekerman said: "If the outcome of the game can be decided just by the number of stars on both sides, then everyone should stop playing the game and just take out the lineup and compare it to each other." Brazil do have some good stars, but the Argentine baseball boys are also very good, and they don't throw in the towel just because they lose to their opponents because of their fame. We'll keep our feet on the ground and fight for every inch of space on the pitch. ”

"In qualifying, we beat Brazil, which shows that this Brazil team is not invulnerable. We are confident that we will beat them again. The Brazilians may be complacent about their world title, but let's not forget that Argentina hold the edge with 34 wins, 22 draws and 33 defeats in the 89 all-time meetings between the two teams. ”

"Pekerman can say what he wants to say," Pereira, who is about to make his 100th game in charge of Brazil, responded, "Brazil are not afraid of any opponent, new history is about to be written, and I am confident that this group of players will make history." ”

"In my opinion, the current Brazilian team may be slightly inferior to the one led by Pele and Garrincha, but it is by no means inferior to the Brazilian team of Zico, Falcao and Socrates. We are well placed to challenge for a sixth World Cup. Argentina? Let's hope they make it to the World Cup. ”

As he said this, Pereira forgot that Argentina had already secured their tickets after a home win over Brazil in the World Qualifiers......

The war of words between the two sides will not affect the preparations for war.

On the Brazilian side, Pereira finally decided to let Ricardo appear in the squad after communicating with the team doctor several times to confirm that Ricardo had recovered 90%.

But the starter, he hasn't decided yet.

He was also hesitating, bewildering...... Argentina's backline is not tall enough, and if Adriano is allowed to play, he can have a certain advantage, and Brazil can play long passes and rush tactics.

But Brazil played a long pass and rushed to the ...... Is it really good? If it is ground propulsion, then Ricardo undoubtedly has an advantage.

And the degree of cooperation between Ricardo and Ronaldo is also a factor that must be taken into account.

At this point, he was desperate to have a coin on hand to help him make a decision......

As for switching to a different formation in order to get five attacking players on the pitch at the same time...... It's impossible. With the exception of 442, the rest of the formations are heretical and rubbish of history.

On the evening of June 29, Eintracht Frankfurt Forest.

The 2005 Confederations Cup final was contested here.

Pekerman lined up the 4,312 formation, Argentina made the line-up goalkeeper Lukes, defenders Zanetti, Coloccini, Presente and Heinze, midfielders Cambiasso, Bernardi, and Sorin, and Riquelme played in midfield. The strikers are Delgado Jr. and Figueroa.

Brazil's roster was a bit of a surprise. There were few changes at the back, with Cicinho returning to the regular right-back position, and McCone, who made a mistake in the last game, failed to continue to be trusted.

One of the biggest changes in midfield was that Ricardo replaced Kaka, with Ronaldo and Adriano up front.

Before the game, it was widely believed that Pereira would choose between Ricardo and Adriano, but Pereira didn't let them guess.

Ricardo appeared on the right side of midfield.

However, although the Brazilian team's position is 442 midfield parallel position, the two fullbacks have to act as the front midfielder when attacking, go to the middle to organize the attack, let go of the side to let the two fullbacks insert assists, and come back to protect the fullbacks when defending.

So in fact Ricardo was playing as a right midfielder today. He is no stranger to such a position.

His left and right foot skills are good, and when he plays left wing-back at Inter Milan, he actually often has to lean into the middle to organise attacks, but now he just changes sides, which doesn't have much impact on him.

At the start of the game, it was still raining, and although the Forest Course had been touting its drainage and rainwater harvesting system, and there was a cover over the course, the course was not fully built and the rain was still leaking.

The two sides started the game on a slippery field.

Although Brazil didn't have much idea of winning the championship before the Confederations Cup, they have already played to the final, and it would be unreasonable not to want to play well and try to win the title.

And if Brazil can win today, it will become the second team after France to win the World Cup, the continental championship and the Confederations Cup at the same time. This is a small stimulus for Brazilians.

As a result, Brazil today showed more desire to win than in previous games after the opening.

Many of the players had come to Germany on leave, but today they were more serious than ever.

After the opening, they continued to attack the Argentine goal, Ronaldo's close-range stab and Ricardo's long-range shot from the top of the box were both very threatening, but the Argentine goalkeeper and defenders were attentive to prevent the first wave of Brazil's attack.

After a few minutes of fighting, Brazil slowed down and began to control the ball at the pace they were most comfortable with.

In the smooth possession of the ball, they will also change, with Ronaldinho, Ricardo and even Emerson, Ze. Roberto suddenly sent a through ball and a couple of their midfielders would quickly step forward and play behind Argentina.

This change in pace has left the Argentines passive, and they can only compensate for their lack of individual ability with fierce scrambles.

But scrambling is not a panacea. In particular, the players of the Brazilian team generally have outstanding skills at their feet, and the Argentine's body does not have an advantage in the face of Brazil, and cannot rely on a strong body to fight like Germany, so Argentina looks extremely passive on the field, and anyone can see that it is only a matter of time before Argentina concedes the goal.
