In the end, Argentina scored another goal in the second half by substitute Ravic and an assist from Riquelme, ending the last group game with a score of 2:0 and advancing to the knockout stage with three wins.

After the game, the Argentine boys held hands and thanked the Argentine and Chinese fans who supported them in the stands. Of course, in response to the flood of applause and cheers from the Argentines, the enthusiasm of the fans made the players feel honored, but the opposite was the sudden criticism of the media for the Argentine team, who won all the group stage.

The problem was not exposed in this game, in the game against Australia, Argentina was once in the dilemma of difficult to break the opponent's dense defense, at this time many people realized that this Argentine dream team is actually not 100% perfect, at least Batista's team is too monotonous in the type of striker, especially the height is not enough, which is not good for breaking the dense defense.

Before the Argentine team left, the Argentine media said that the biggest concern of Batista's team is the lack of a high school striker, which has caused limitations to the team's offensive tactics, and in fact this is also the problem that the Argentine national team is facing now. Batista explained: "We do lack a high striker, but we can't find a player like that in the under-23 years. We had to have Sergio Aguero play as a centre-forward, with Ravitch, who could punch out the space. I also considered Cruise, but in the end I decided to strengthen the defense first, so I gave Pareja the third overage list. ”

Despite all three victories, the performance of the Argentine forward line was not very satisfactory. Against Serbia, Ravic rarely touched the ball, his team-mates rarely got the ball at his feet, and his own movement was always difficult to please his team-mates.

No way, Ravitch is neither a member of the 2005 National Youth Championship nor a member of the 2007 National Youth Championship, and it can be seen that Ravitch and his teammates in the National Olympic team are still lacking cooperation.

On the other hand, Sergio Aguero's performances were similarly unsatisfactory, with Sergio Aguero opening a couple of chances, one of which was cancelled for offside, but overall he was still far from his high level of form, with few dangerous shots in the game, not much involvement in the attack, and he was rarely seen in the camera lens.

After the match against Ivory Coast, the Argentine media discussed whether the striker should make a substitution. The media believes that Aguero and Messi are also short in stature, delicate in technique, and super fast, which also makes the Argentine forward line face a problem: they are both the same type of players, and it is inevitable that they will be monotonous when matched in the field.

Batista's idea is to drop back a little because Messi knows how to play, and Aguero because he has a good balance between left and right, a good sense of tackling points, and can move freely up front.

However, there are still some gaps from conception to implementation. In the second game against Australia, Sergio Aguero was again lost in the game, making it difficult for him to make a dangerous shot with only a few catches.

The Argentine media commented after the game: "Aguero showed signs of recovery at the beginning, but as the game progressed, he disappeared again from the opposition defence, and there was no spark in his individual performance. This makes his performance particularly unsatisfactory compared to Messi, who has difficulty receiving passes. ”

In such a situation, there are two players who have become unanimously praised by the media, and in fact they are.

That is Di Maria and San Tiago, after Di Maria came on the field, Argentina's side attack was significantly strengthened, and Messi and Di Maria also cooperated a lot, and Argentina found a way to tear through the opponent's defense. On the other hand, San Tiago is the biggest discovery of the media at this Olympic Games, the former playboy has changed his style, and the only few times he went out in the more than ten days he arrived in Shanghai were honest, and he didn't hear that he had any trouble in training.

This surprised those who thought Batista had made a thorn in the pan and wanted to wait to see his jokes, and more importantly, he provided a total of three assists in the two games he played, which played a decisive role in Argentina's victory! What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see the role he plays between Messi and Riquelme, which makes the media's perception and perception of him change greatly.

In just a few months, this Santiago has really changed sex? Look at the performances on the field, although there are still a lot of differences in some details, but the sense of amazement is as alive as when it just landed in Europe and was born in Serie A!

For a while, the interview invitations came one after another, and the media wanted to find out what the changes in Santo Tiago were, but Santiago said NO very firmly, even if they knew that this was a very good opportunity for ordinary fans to change their opinions, because at the same time, the opponents they had to face in the knockout rounds were also revealed, budding golden tulips, the Netherlands.

Of course, a strong opponent needs to be well prepared by the Argentine, and Santiago knows that there are many opportunities, but the premise is that they must continue to start and help the team win, as long as they can continue to perform highly, they will not have a chance?

Sure enough, although Santiago's firm attitude disappointed the media, coach Batista, who was confused, was very pleased, which also made Santiago affirm his choice.

Speaking of the Netherlands, the Dutch team has won the European Youth Championship for a second time, and the Dutch domestic media is also very concerned about this Olympic team, hoping that they can bring a gold medal back home. On July 15, Dutch Olympic coach Dehan announced the final list of 18 players for the Beijing Olympics, five of whom have been selected for Basten's national team. The three overage players are Mackay, Saibon and Yalins, while their three group opponents are Nigeria, Japan and the United States.

Ma Kai was selected by the public, due to the Dutch striker talent, Ma Kai has not been reused in the national team, this time to participate in the Beijing Olympics, the Dutch fans have high hopes for him. Sibon is a high school striker with a good header and strong air dominance, and if he needs to break through a dense defence, Dehan hopes that Sibon can come in handy.

On the defensive line, Dutch Olympic coach Dehan was initially optimistic about former international Opdam, the central defender has a good view of the overall situation, a strong sense of filling, and the attack in the middle is also very distinctive, and the young Dutch defense needs him to grasp the big picture. However, Opdan defected to his mentor Adrianse this summer to join Salzburg, Austria, and due to the conflict between the Austrian league schedule and the Olympic Games, Opdan turned down Dehan's invitation, and finally Allins, who was not selected for the European Championship, became an overage player to dominate the defence.

On the other hand, PSV Eindhoven's hopeful Al-Isati was a surprise to the Dutch media, who were the midfielder when the Dutch team won the UEFA Youth Cup on home soil last year, and he and Afelai, who performed brilliantly in the European Championship, were both produced by PSV Eindhoven's academy, and Hiddink also made their appearance together in the Champions Cup. Dehan explained the reason for his defeat: "Isati has not been training for the Olympic team for a long time and has been busy moving to Ajax recently. After weighing the pros and cons, I decided to keep him at home. ”

It was a pity that Isati was not selected, and Babel's selection made Liverpool manager Benitez feel distressed. Dehan said: "I spoke to Babel about this and he said that he was very sorry to miss the European Championships due to injury and that he was very keen to play in Beijing this time. I could understand the lad's mood and decided to take him with me. ”

In addition to the 18-man squad, Dehan also announced four substitutes, including Newcastle goalkeeper Krul, The Hague's Qom, Ajax's Frenkie de Jong and PSV Eindhoven's Amrabat. According to the Dutch Football Association's agreement with the player's club, the four players will not need to participate in the national Olympic team training, but will stay at their own club, and if the national Olympic team has an injury or other unexpected situation 24 hours before the first group game, Dehan will immediately call them into the team.

In the last three group games, the Dutch Olympic team beat Japan, drew with the United States and strong gold medal contenders Nigeria, and went into the knockout stage by finishing second in the group. The result was a resounding slap in the face to Dutch boss Dehan, who had previously been considered a dominant team in Group B, but this time their performance was unconvincing, especially as coach Dehan has publicly stated that their goal is to win gold.
