Chapter 50: Eagles, Questions

The Argentine dressing room in the midfield was silent, everyone was silent, only coach Batista kept writing something on the tactical board, but no one paid attention to this at this time, everyone was thinking about what went wrong in the second half of the first half, why the advantage came to an abrupt end unconsciously, and the Dutchman scored goals in a row, everything from the equalizer to the overtake was so unexpected.

Compared with the long headwinds and ties, such a sudden fall is the most uncomfortable, there is no obvious reason, and there is no obvious shortcoming, but it is a continuous goal.

This feeling is like putting you in an empty room, and at first you are still interested in jumping around, but when you find that the room is constantly infused with poisonous gas, the helplessness and suffocation that comes with it, and there is nowhere to escape, is simply a huge torture.

"Smack!"

After a long time, a soft sound interrupted everyone's thoughts, and the players looked up at the sound, and found that the tactical board was already dense at some point, and the head coach Batista was looking at everyone seriously.

"Can anyone say why you were overtaken by the Dutch?"

After throwing the marker pen in his hand aside, Batista glanced at the disciples and asked intently. There wasn't much time left for Batista to make adjustments at half-time, and he wanted the players to find out what was wrong for themselves, but unfortunately the confused eyes of the players said it all, and they couldn't find the reason for the major reversal of the situation, only Riquelme was silent and Santhiago looked thoughtful.

"Sainty, tell me about it."

"Mr. Batista, I'm not..."With the coach's roll call, the players' eyes were all cast in unison, facing the eyes of his teammates full of inquiries, questions and other looks, even if he had an idea, Saint-Tiago was not willing to be this rafter.

"Don't waste time Santiago! If you, as one of the playmakers in the midfield, fail to see through the essence of the problem, then you should think about it on the bench in the second half. “

Saint-Tiago, who wanted to choose to remain silent, was also stunned when he heard the manager's merciless words, and immediately became angry in his heart, damn! It's not me who is the problem! Why would you choose to crush me to the bench? If you want to make a substitution, you should also replace Aguero, right?

He didn't expect Batista to respond to himself with such harsh words, and in his anger, Santiago could only wipe his face with a towel and say loudly: "The problem is on the front line!" “

"Hiss~~~" Hearing this, there were obviously many players in the locker room who gasped, and people looked at Santiago with shocked eyes after a short pause, secretly thinking that this kid really dared to say anything!

Whether the problem is with the front line or not, can anyone say this? Of today's starting three, Di Maria's performance is well-known and impeccable, and Messi has scored several goals, and the only thing that can be questioned is his cooperation with his big brother Riquelme. Looking back at Aguero, that is Maradona's son-in-law, the next coach competition to lead Argentina to the World Cup is now in the final stage, either Maradona or the current coach of the Olympic team Batista! Aren't you hated by the old horse when you say this?

Although this master is recognized as the king of world football, his character outside the stadium is really difficult to say, coupled with a protective temper, it is difficult to guarantee that Saint-Tiago's words will not offend Maradona while offending Aguero.

But how can Santiago manage so much at this time? He used to be half a lawless master in Milan, but now although he has changed many bad habits and buried his temper, it doesn't mean that his temper has disappeared out of thin air! At the moment, he is quite satisfied with his performance, but coach Batista's words are heart-wrenching, looking at his expression, it is not like just talking about it, once he can't answer, he will probably be replaced!

Why?

Just because I have a bad reputation now, there is no backstage? Isn't that hilarious!

Thinking of this, how could San Tiago endure it, he was even more angry, regardless of Banega, Di Maria and others' admonishing eyes and continued to say loudly: "That's right, the problem is on the front line, although the first half has been pressing the Dutch team to play again, but it is often thunder and rain, and it does not play the real lead it deserves, if we can seize the opportunity, then now even if the Dutch pull back two goals, then we should still have an advantage, not to mention that it is difficult to say whether there is a morale counterattack behind the Dutch by a big score!" “

In Santiago's words, Aguero clenched his fists and lowered his head in shame, not knowing what to say or how to refute it, it sounded like Santiago had thrown all the pot on himself, but he had nothing to say in such a situation.

"What's worse is that the onslaught up front has made everyone have a kind of slackness, thinking that the Dutch are vulnerable, and it is a matter of time before they win the game, plus the Dutch have not gone well along the way, so everyone has a mentality of contempt, of course, including me...... Otherwise I wouldn't have been crotched......"

At the end of the day, the angry tone slowly disappeared, turning into a helpless and bitter smile, and the act of uncovering his scar with his own hands caused a burst of good-natured laughter.

"That's right, the Dutchmen have never been a team to be underestimated! After being suppressed by us for dozens of minutes, he was able to maintain a complete will to fight when the full-backs repeatedly went wrong, and hit with one blow, which is a temperament that the once loose Dutch national team does not have! They wanted to add to their journey with a win over the defending champions, but we couldn't let them do it! “

"Everybody looked at the tactical board and we ...... in the second half"

Head coach Batista took over the conversation at the right time, and after a little encouragement, he rearranged the tactics of the second half against the Dutchman. That's right, the attack, he knows that this time the Dutch, who advocate all-attack and all-defense play, will not dare to be lonely after having a tenacious will, the score of 2:1 is far from enough for them, they need a hearty victory, and this is the opportunity they need to grasp!

No team is perfect, let alone a young team, and when it is dominant and really blows the horn of attack, that is Argentina's chance.

Relying on Messi's activity and threat in the middle to contain most of the Dutchman's strength, without the protection of the whole team's shrinking tactics, Argentina is bound to get more opportunities under the impact of the wing-fast Madi Maria and others, and the reason why I want to name and let Santhiago say all this is to wake everyone up! If the teammates of the team are afraid to point out the problem, then how can this team work together seamlessly?

Walking down the tunnel, Banega leaned towards Santiago, a player who was bound to get a chance to play in the second half, who simply shook his head wordlessly. Although there is a little regret after saying everything in his heart, but at the moment Saint-Tiago has figured it all out, he is in line with the manager's opinion, and he is very demanding of himself, he wants to be a leader, not just a player.

When what he didn't expect was that Aguero also took the initiative to come over, in the surprised eyes of Santiago, the goalscorer who seems to have forgotten to wear shooting boots so far in this Olympics squirmed for a long time and said: "Santi, you are right, it is indeed my problem, I do not deny it, but I think that as long as you can get the ball to my feet, then I will be able to complete a beautiful shot!" “

After saying that, Aguero walked straight onto the court with a red face, leaving San Tiago and Banega looking at each other.

Soon, the game started again after the re-preparation of the midfielders of both sides, and sure enough, this time the Dutchman did not shrink back in defense, but took the initiative to attack, which was a scene that Batista was looking forward to, and the Argentine players who saw this scene were also excited, as if everything was in their own predictions. However, they did not rest on their laurels and threw themselves more fully into the game, after all, the Dutch team's sharp attack was fully demonstrated in the first half.
