"Santi...... I need your passing, especially on the edge of the box. ”

Messi, who is already introverted and has never had much communication with Santiago, said these words straight to the point, which really made Santi not expect, but think about it, although this buddy's reputation in world football is no longer the same as his own, but in the final analysis, he is only 21 years old at this time, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the pressure he is carrying.

Looking at the situation on the field, the connection between Messi and Riquelme has only been a few times, but they have all ended in failure, and they both think that they have no problem handling the ball, which has caused the current stalemate.

Most of Riquelme's passes went to the feet of the king's son-in-law, Atletico Madrid's genius Sergio Aguero, but unfortunately the genius seemed to have forgotten to bring his shooting boots, and after many missed opportunities, he was inevitably anxious and anxious, which was also more of a headache.

Thinking of this, San Tiago looked at Messi and said affirmatively: "Of course, Leo, the ball will definitely be delivered to your feet, and the next thing is up to you!" ”

Santiago didn't say he was at the bottom of his fitness and could only get one chance, but he believes the Argentine darling will understand.

Sure enough, after hearing San Tiago's affirmative answer, Messi showed an excited look, he nodded seriously, and quickly leaned towards the half.

After a whistle, Ivory Coast substitute Yao took a corner, and Kalou, who wanted to rely on a header to take advantage again, failed this time, and Gare, a centre-back who had already moved to Real Madrid, appeared next to him. Compared to his compatriots, Garay is almost 190 tall, so he has an advantage in handling high balls and physical confrontations, good anticipation and superhuman reaction speed, and the ability to bounce is an important factor in making him a big club.

The ball was quickly cleared out of the box, Mascherano snatched the ball and sent it to Riquelme's feet in the millimeter, and in the face of the opponent's bag, Riquelme chose to pass the ball back to his team-mate behind him to defuse the threat.

This proved to be a very good solution, and the Ivorians gave up their fearless exertion after a few unsuccessful attempts, and gradually retreated, while the Argentine players calmed down from their nerves and the backline was solidified. But the only downside of this approach is that the Argentines have lost their best opportunity to break quickly, and can only slowly advance with the line again.

"There are only a few minutes left in the game, but it looks like the Argentines will not be able to win this game! Looking at the whole situation, although the Argentines have a huge advantage in the midfield, there are often no small problems when it comes to the goal. If we don't dwell on where the problem arises, we can see that it is very difficult for them to gain an advantage in positional warfare! ”

"It's true, when France won the Olympic football title in 1984, the rules were completely different from what they are now. At that time, the powerful European and South American countries could only choose from players who did not participate in the last World Cup, while other continents did not have this restriction. Before this, the football program of the Olympic Games has not been taken seriously, and can even be described as "amateur", but this year's Beijing Olympics, Chinese fans will have the privilege of seeing top stars such as Messi, Ronaldo, Mascherano and --- this was impossible 20 years ago. “

Babbel and Mascherano insisted on representing the national team at the Olympics despite Benitis's objections, much to the chagrin of the manager. This is not only a problem for Liverpool, Ronaldo tore his face with Barcelona in the name of the Olympics, and after the transfer to Milan, manager Galliani said: "Letting Ronaldo participate in the Olympics is what we wrote in the terms of the transfer agreement when we reached it, and we respect his decision. But if we have to make a decision in Milan, we don't want to let them go. “

"Due to the collision between the start of the Olympic football tournament on August 7 and the start time of most of Europe's leagues, this summer, Xiao Luo and other players who participated in the Olympics not only delayed the club's summer preparations, but also had to miss several games at the start of the new season. The biggest stiff thing was Bremen's Brazilian star Diego, who had been arguing for a long time over whether to participate in the Olympics, and the Brazilians compromised and announced that they would go to summer training with the team, but then Diego made the decision to leave the team and go to Paris to join the Brazilian Olympic team. This angered the club and decided to take the dispute to the Sports Court in a fit of rage. Also forced to leave the team was Diego's Brazilian teammate Raphinha at Schalke 04. ”

"Brazil's emphasis on the Olympics is obvious, this football powerhouse that has lifted the Hercules Cup five times, has never won the Olympic football championship, which makes them far behind the South American derby rival Argentina in this competition, therefore, the national team coach Dunga personally took charge this time, and more than half of the selected players have the ability to participate in the World Cup, in addition to Ronaldo, Manchester United midfielder Anderson and Liverpool's Lucas are also on the list, And striker Ruo, who has just joined Manchester City for a club-record £18 million, is also with the team. ”

In the end, Milan only let Pato go and forced Kaka to stay, and Real Madrid Dro Binho would have appeared at this summer's Olympics if it weren't for a groin injury. Forget the World Cup, forget the Champions Cup, and forget the £15,000-a-week salary at the club, where the Olympic title is a dream for many stars this summer. And the predicament that Argentina is in at the moment proves this, no team is a real weak team, and Ivory Coast is not! It's definitely a strong team that counts! ”

The exclamation of the TV commentator resonated with many fans, and many people could not believe that Argentina was one of the best in terms of the luxury of the team's squad, but many people did not expect to play so hard and difficult to win in the first game.

However, at this moment, people's eyes were attracted by a figure captured on a small TV screen, and in the 85th minute, Santhiago received a pass from Zabaleta and knocked his heel into Mascherano, and made a one-two with him and inserted it into the ribs of Côte d'Ivoire.

Seeing this situation, all the Ivorians around him were mercilessly wrapped up in him, indeed, in the final stage of the game is the most relaxed human nerves and the easiest time to concede the ball, but in this game such a situation is good once, no one wants to go through it a second time!

Bagayoko was the first to squeeze up from behind Santtiago, who had already seen that the Argentine No. 28 was at the end of his power, so he made full use of his body to squeeze Santiago's dribbling action after getting closer.

As he expected, after only a few seconds, Saint-Tiago's body shook violently, and even the whole person threw himself forward.

"Good Opportunity !!" Bagayoko was overjoyed, he knew that the time had come for him to make a meritorious service! Grab the ball, launch a counter-attack, score a goal, and become a celebrity...... Everything seems to be beckoning to him! Especially a victory against the defending champions!

But just when Bagayoko thought he had succeeded, stretched out his foot to break the ball, San Tiago was extremely surprisingly steady, he first pulled the ball to the left with the sole of his right foot, dodged Bagayoko's kick, and then landed on the back of the ball with his right foot, stepped forward with his left foot, and his whole body dodged Bagayoko's move to pull around the front of the ball at the same time!

"What ???" The Ivorians around them were all stunned when they saw this scene, but only one person reacted the fastest, rushing forward before Santiago could fully control the ball.

"It's dangerous!! San Tiago, who had just made a perfect outfit, was not on a firm foothold at this time! It would be dangerous to lose a goal in this position, and the reason why Kalou was called a little monster and was favored by the Dutch was not just because of his physical strength! His speed and skill are among the best among African players! ”

At this moment, even the well-informed commentators sentenced San Tiago to death, Messi also showed a look of frustration, only Riquelme showed a knowing smile, he knew that this kid would never be cut off the ball so easily!

Sure enough, when all eyes were completely focused on Santhiago's body, when the Ivorian player who was reacting was about to touch the ball, he suddenly wrapped the instep of his right foot behind his left foot, and gently touched the seemingly impossible ball to stop, which was under control! Then he pulled back in front of him, like a golden rooster independent!!

"Crossbow!! Totally textbook cross-footed!! Santhiago stopped the ball in the millimeter and he controlled it in the Ivorian's bag!! The Ivory Coast coach on the sidelines was furious, and he almost showed a look of despair! More Ivorian players want to stop the artistic elf, but it's too late! ”

The ball flew over the leaders and reached the feet of Messi, who didn't know when it would start!! A deft pick!! The ball went in!! ”

“goal！！！ Argentina scored another goal in the final stages of the match!!!! Messi scored twice!! Santiago scored twice!! Argentina sealed the win!! ”
