In his post-match press conference, Dunga repeatedly emphasized: "Brazil is not a team of Ricardo alone, we are a unit, and Ricardo has indeed contributed a lot to the team, but we can't ignore the contributions of others. ”

But his language was so pale, with two goals and one assist from Ricardo himself, while the other goal was also related to Ricardo, whose shot caused Carini to get out of his hands and gave Kaka a chance to make up for it.

After this game, Ricardo equalled the record for the highest goal in the Copa America with 9 goals. As long as he scores one more goal in the final, he will set a new record.

At the same time, he also set a new milestone for his national team goal record to 50 goals.

You know, he just turned 21.

For the media, for such a Ricardo, there is no need to think about anything, just blow it.

Dunga just didn't want to get too much hype out of Ricardo. Blowing Ricardo into the sky isn't downplaying his coaching exploits?

The media didn't want to let him go, and began to question his substitution. Those two substitutions left Brazil in disarray and almost equalised by Uruguay. If it weren't for Ricardo standing up in time and making the final decision, it is not known who will kill the deer.

Dunga, of course, does not admit that his substitutions were wrong, nor does he admit that there are contradictions in the Brazilian team, "No, there are no contradictions or anything, we are a united whole. ”

"Then why didn't Robinho and Elano pass the ball to Ricardo and Kaka once statistically?"

'The situation on the pitch is very fast, the players have to make decisions immediately, sometimes it's a coincidence. Robbie and Elano only played 20 minutes after all, and if they had played longer, they wouldn't have had such ridiculous statistics. Dunga's dead duck said stiffly.

However, when the reporter asked "will you let Robinho, Diego and Elano play in the final", Dunga hesitated for a moment, did not say anything nonsense such as "the starting lineup should be decided according to the form shown in training", and directly confirmed: "No, our current starting lineup is playing well, if possible, I hope to continue to use it, and only make some minor adjustments in some parts." ”

The great battle of Pakistan and Afghanistan is approaching.

The tournament will be played in Maracaibo, Venezuela's second largest city.

The media hyped that Maracaibo is a blessed land for Argentina, where Argentina played all the group stages and won all of them.

This time to revisit the old place, Argentina will undoubtedly have more advantages.

Some media mentioned that this Brazil is a patchwork Brazilian second team, while Argentina is an elite team.

Zanetti, Cambiaso, Mascherano, Veron, Riquelme, Aimar, Tevez, Messi...... The most popular star players of Argentine fans were all selected.

Such a powerful Argentina, playing the second team of Brazil is not like chopping melons and vegetables?

The Argentine fan proudly said: "Brazil has Ricardo, but we have Messi!" Messi is a great player destined to take over the mantle of Maradona! ”

Although Messi's goals in La Liga this season are less than one-third of Ricardo's, in the minds of Argentine fans, Messi is a player of the same level as Ricardo.

"Messi was able to score a hat-trick in the game and in the end we beat Brazil 3-0." The Argentine fan said in an interview.

Brazilian fans certainly don't concede verbally. "This Brazilian team is not a Brazilian second team, but a strong team composed of a group of players with a simple style and Ricardo and Kaka. The Argentines are not our opponents, they were not, they are not and they will not be in the future. ”

"I think it's easier to play Argentina than Uruguay. Ricardo was able to break the Copa America scoring record in the game. ”

"Take Messi and Rikadobi? Is it comparable? He's going to get a Golden Globe first. ”

The Brazilian media did not lag behind this time, and they ridiculed Argentina with great ridicule, believing that Brazil would get a big victory.

"It's like the America's Cup in '04."

They talk about this Brazilian team, about Ricardo who dominates the scorer charts, about Kaka who has been quietly contributing to the team, about Baptista who is getting better, about McCone who is getting better and better and makes people forget about Cafu, and about Lowe who is not outstanding in his individual ability but contributes in his own way......

What bothers the Brazilians is midfielder Gilberto. Silva is suspended for accumulating yellow cards. Everyone was speculating about who Dunga would use to take his place.

Will there be Elano? Or will Josue be allowed to retreat? Or, on the veteran Mineiro?

As for the rest of the positions, the Brazilian media are already generally satisfied.

From stumbling at the beginning and being criticized by the media, to finally gaining recognition from the media, the Brazilian team is like achieving nirvana.

They just need to win one more game, win this crucial game, and they will be able to completely stand on their feet!

Argentina have won the most titles in Copa America history, with 14 titles alongside Uruguay.

The Brazilian team, on the other hand, has not paid much attention to the Copa America, often sending 2 or even 3 teams to play, so it has only won 7 Copa America so far.

In terms of all-time meetings, Brazil and Argentina have met 92 times in history, with 35 wins and 22 draws each.

However, Argentina's victories were more concentrated in the pre-50s of the last century, and after the rise of Brazil in the late 50s, Brazil achieved absolute dominance in the match-up relationship.

Argentina won 5 and lost 6 against Brazil in the 60s, and Argentina lost 1 win and 7 losses against Brazil in the 70s.

From 2004 to the present, Argentina has 1 win and 3 losses against Brazil.

In the first meeting between the current Argentine coach Basile and Dunga, Argentina lost 0:3 to Brazil.

Judging from these data, the Brazilian team still has a certain psychological advantage.

As one Brazilian fan said in an interview: "We never saw Argentina as a mortal enemy. Our mortal enemy is Uruguay. Argentina? They're not bad. But we're the best. ”

Before the game, Pelé warned Brazil in an interview: "This Argentina team is very strong, they have Riquelme, Messi and many other talents, we are likely to lose this game." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Brazilian team rejoiced. With Pele's reverse poisoned milk, the game is stable.

Twenty-four hours before the match, Dunga confidently announced the squad for the match.

In addition to Mineiro replacing Gilberto, who was suspended for accumulating yellow cards. Silva, the rest of the position has not been adjusted.

In order to show that he is confident, Basile also announced the squad in advance.

Argentina's goalkeeper is Abundanseri, defenders Heinze, Gabi. Milito, Ayala, Zanetti. Midfielders Cambiaso, Mascherano, Veron, Riquelme. Striker Carlos Tevez partnered Messi. Also on the bench was Diego. Milito, Palacio and other young players, as well as Aimar, Kili. Gonzalez is a great player.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
