Chapter Eighty-Three: Midtime Choice

The dust has settled on the new national team manager? And what about Mr. Batista?

Although the Argentine Football Association has not officially announced it, as the situation changes, it is already an indisputable fact that Lao Ma took over the national team coach, and soon the final details of this incident were also revealed.

The president of the Argentine Football Federation, Grondona, who travelled to Switzerland last week to attend a FIFA meeting, and Maradona happened to play a friendly in Georgia, and the two were supposed to return home on the same plane, but Grondona returned on Monday, while Maradona did not return to Argentina until Tuesday. It is reported that as soon as the football king got off the plane, he received a call from Grondona: "Let's meet and talk in the afternoon!" ”

After arriving at the headquarters of the Football Association, Maradona met Grondona, Grondona's son and Bilardo, the meritorious coach who led Argentina to the World Cup title.

"What do you want? Tell me about it. Grondona's question was very straightforward, and Maradona's answer was very simple: "I want to be the head coach of the national team." Grondona further said: "Now is the opportunity to realize your lifelong dream, tell me your plans." Maradona immediately laid out his plan and the plan, and several people had a heated discussion about it.

At this time, Grondona's son played a very important role, he persuaded his father: "The last time the Argentine national team won an important honor was in the 1986 World Cup, if you want to regain glory, what better option than to leave the national team in the hands of these heroes?" ”

Grondona was eventually persuaded by his son, but because he was more worried about Maradona's coaching experience, Grondona also invited the 1986 national team coach Bilardo, a coach composed of the two of them, which can not only conform to the will of the people, but also help the Football Association reduce the pressure from the outside world, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. So after meeting with Maradona, Grondona directly rejected the possibility of anyone else coaching the national team: "We have already made a decision, there is no need to meet with anyone else. ”

In the end, when the news was fully spread, the morale of Argentine football was boosted for a while, and it seemed that the old horse was already determined to bring honor to Argentina, and Santo Thiago was more concerned about the new roster of the national team in the next World Cup qualifiers.

You must know that this Ma Dazui often talks about his team building philosophy in front of the media, and more importantly, his team building concept will change a lot every time, which is not good news for the national team players in the game! And in addition to his well-known love for Messi, he is very personal and emotional in the selection of other players, especially for a group of old players! This is a source of great concern for young players such as San Tiago.

Sure enough, after the coach was basically finalized, San Tiago received a number of calls from his teammates in the national Olympic team, because he is currently playing in the domestic league and is the same age as everyone else, so Di Maria and others all thought of contacting San Tiago in this matter to see if he has any more definite news. Even Banega called Santiago directly to ask Mr. Bianchi if there was a mistake, how could this be?

For these calls, Saint-Tiago can only comfort them one by one, because he really doesn't have many ways in the country, so he can only wait and see how things develop.

On October 6, in the ninth round of the La Liga Spring League, Boca hosted Estudiantes de La Plata.

Estudiantes de La Plata, also in Buenos Aires, is a mid-tier team in the first division, which has long been in the ranks of the first division, but due to financial difficulties, it has basically not done much. The team originally belonged to the Cosmopolitan Gymnastics Team of La Plata, and later some of them split off to form their own team, because most of these people are college students, so it was named the Estudiantes team, in order to distinguish it from other local student teams, so it was named La Plata Estudiantes Football Club.

Estudiantes de La Plata are the strongest club Boca have faced in the country since the start of the season, but the focus of this match is on three people: Riquelme, Verón and Santo Tiago, especially the first two.

Needless to say, the relationship between Riquelme and Veron comes at a sensitive moment when the national team is changing dramatically, and such a matchup has to be said to be just right, and it seems to be a good opportunity to prove which of the two is stronger. On the other hand, the rising star Saint-Tiago is also one of the highlights, and he was previously known as "Little Veron" in Serie A, and now he meets the real Veron in the domestic league, what kind of scene will it be?

Therefore, for this game, many media can't help but exclaim that this is definitely an excellent opportunity to investigate the current midfielders of the national team, the two older generations of Dinghai Shenpin appear at the same time, and the leaders of the younger generation who have recently re-emerged will also appear, and they are all in a typical Argentine game! In this regard, Lao Ma, who has been firmly in charge of the national team, will naturally not miss it, and his appearance has added a touch of intensity and excitement to this game.

"Ahh To exist for a special sign, to tell the story of an extraordinary era, to have one last chance to dominate this game like no other! You only have one chance to win

Or fail, try to swim over, don't be adjacent to the bottom of the water, can you see right and wrong, excited tears and songs are close to the hand of love! I hope to be held up high, friend, to be a different kind of hero, this is my new game, to be a different kind of hero, I need you, you and I pull each other together!! ”

The affectionate hymn was sung by the Boca fans at the same time, and although Maradona had not had many days to reign in the candy box, he still had an unshakable reputation as a famous place here!

The 1986 World Cup belonged to Maradona, and the Argentine superstar became famous for scoring goals with the "Hand of God" and the long-distance run of five men in a row, and won the World Cup crown for his team again. The theme song of the World Cup "A Different Kind of Hero" has always been regarded as a hymn to Maradona. The reason for this is that this atmospheric song full of traditional colors appeared at the end of the official film of the World Cup, "Heroes", and the scene is a slow-motion shot of Maradona fighting heroically on the pitch.

The Boca fans sang this hymn to Maradona before the game, and hoped that he could lead the national team back to the top after a slump.

After the soulful hymn, the Candy Box Stadium regained its momentum and the game began.

Boca, who took the lead in kick-off, relied on home advantage to attack as usual, although Veron also played for Boca Juniors, but at this time all Boca fans unconditionally supported Riquelme, they shouted Riquelme's name, and suppressed Estudiantes de La Plata in momentum.

In recent seasons, when the two teams met, Boca had a big advantage with 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, and the momentum of the pressure quickly turned into an advantage on the field, in the seventeenth minute Riquelme crossed Palamo diagonally, the ball penetrated the opponent's defense, the latter did not hesitate to receive the ball, and a burst shot directly penetrated the goal of Estudiantes de La Plata.

“goal!!!!!!” The roar of the tsunami shook the entire Candy Box stadium, and many of the visiting fans turned pale with fear, which is what Boca people are proud of. They laughed, shouted, cheered, were delighted with the goal and were even more proud of Riquelme's impressive performance.

Everyone knows that one of Riquelme and Veron will be selected for the national team, and at the moment all Boca fans hope that it will be Riquelme!
