As a midfielder, Mascherano is undoubtedly one of the best of his age, with a large defensive coverage, precise positioning, strong tackling ability and, more importantly, an excellent sense of filling. Having Mascherano captain the team may not be as a banner like Zanetti, but he can definitely shoulder the responsibility of the defense and lead by example.

However, it would be difficult for Mascherano to organise the attack, he is not the type of player who can clearly grasp the context of the game, as is the case at the moment.

In the face of the Frenchman's eyes that had just retreated but were still not to be outdone, although Mascherano knew that he had to organize a counterattack and use color to boost morale, but after looking around, he could not find a reassuring point to play the ball, which made the new national team captain feel very sad.

In the national team, he has become accustomed to Riquelme on the field, and in the past games, as long as he broke the ball, he would choose to send it to Riquelme forward, and he is a proper sweeper, as long as he takes care of his own one-acre and three-point land. But now it can't be like this, when Mascherano has the ball, his teammates on the field more or less have their eyes on him, the new captain, waiting for him to make the next decision, while the older generation of players are silent, in this case, Mascherano can even feel the gaze from Zanetti behind him, which is simply stressful!

Mascherano, who had no idea for a while, could only temporarily continue to control the ball at his feet, seemingly calm and calm, but in fact, he was already very worried, don't forget, he is not only 24 years old now, and he has been the main player in Liverpool for less than two seasons! Such a task is still too difficult for Mascherano!

"Mascherano was able to protect the ball! The situation just now is really dangerous, the ball almost changed hands, if the French team gets the ball, then for the Argentines who are pressing hard, it will really be like a disaster! ”

"That's right, it's true, if they are two goals behind in the first half, then Argentina who are visiting Marseille are likely to lose hope of equalising in advance, after all, the best teams play each other, and the victory or defeat is only a fraction of a second!"

"Through this slow-motion defense, we can clearly see that in the direct conversation between Santiago and Tulalang just now, both sides have a lot of details! Tulalang is indeed steady, and he directly stopped San Tiago! This must be a huge blow to the morale of the Argentines, and in any case, Saint-Thiago will be their undisputed midfield core in this game! ”

While the commentators were still sighing at the slow-motion defense, the clueless Mascherano also started with the players to carefully rewind the ball back and forth every step, not daring to give the French any chance. It does seem like a good option, with the Frenchman opening up the formation first and then letting the side see if they can take advantage of the gaps they have exposed.

In this regard, Santiago, who entered a dormant period after the failure of the breakthrough, also has no opinion.

Santi didn't care about the cynicism of the French fans in the stands, and he knew that he underestimated Tulalang, or perhaps the French players, in the fight, which made him secretly blame himself. Because Santi understands that he is not only wasting a valuable attacking opportunity, but also the trust of his teammates in the national team! This allowed him to start the pass mode directly after almost taking the ball in the next period of time, and not dribbling the ball too much at all.

This is not a sign of weakness, but it is taking advantage of this time for Santhiago to take a closer look at his opponents again!

But this caution gave the French fans a chance to play, and under the guidance of the organizers, they changed their genre.

"Cowardly Argentina, poor loser! Cowardly kickers, you are a disgrace to the national team! When the sun goes down, it's the best time for you to do things! Like a flock of rats, lowly rats, they dare not confront us head-on! "This song, although it does not have a rhyme, nor any tone, is not so much singing as shouting, but it still puts a lot of pressure on the Argentine players under the chorus of tens of thousands of people.

In the deafening singing, the Argentine players seemed to be slow to react, and their movements seemed to be slow, and they felt that the game was extremely difficult.

Coach Maradona on the sidelines frowned at this scene, as a former player, he is naturally no stranger to such a situation, and now the reason why his players on the field have such a reaction is completely because of the huge psychological pressure and the interference of French fans, so that they can not keep a complete calm in their minds, and they will have more time to make judgments than usual under the interference, and such anomalies will of course be noticed by themselves, so they will feel extremely difficult, like running in water.

On the contrary, the French players are like adding a buff, running faster, grabbing harder, inserting the wrong mistake, jumping higher, yes, jumping

Maradona knew that he couldn't go on like this, but he didn't have any ideas for a while, so he couldn't waste the ball without a brain! So the situation could only be allowed to stalemate, but it didn't take long for the defense line to go wrong.

In a return pass, Gago took a soft step at his feet, and at this time, French striker Henry, who seized the opportunity to suddenly accelerate, took the first step to get the ball and blew the horn of the French team's counterattack.

"Oh no!!"

The moment Henry took the ball, all the Argentines twitched in their hearts and almost suffocated!

Gago's self-blame was helpless when he saw such a crisis because of his mistakes, but it had no effect, because regret and self-blame could not undo anything, he immediately gritted his teeth and chased Henry fiercely, wanting to intercept Henry, at all costs! There was no doubt that his decision was not wrong, Henry has never been a player with absolute speed, and with his explosiveness and speed slowly declining, the young and strong Gago quickly caught up with him and reached for a steal.

But how could Henry let him get his wish?

The terrifying assaulter dodged the angry and remorseful shovel with a slight pull to the right like a light bicycle as Gago stretched out his foot to intercept him, leaving Gago to pound the ground with hatred.

"Henry! His feet were as easy as sliding on the ice to evade the Argentine team's defense! Does he have an eye on his back? A British commentator in the commentary booth spat frantically into the microphone, and for a while the saliva splashed and caused the surrounding peers to look sideways, but this did not affect his state, looking at Henry's seemingly unstoppable scene, his whole body seemed to be ignited.

"These young Argentinians have to learn how to play in front of Henry! It's not just a matter of running fast! Do they think they're the Fantastic Four? Oh! Look at that! Henry faced the defense of Zanetti, the pillar of Inter's defense, and he played the other side! Cruel! In his frenzy, he seemed to forget that he was British and not a Frenchman, and abruptly commented into the microphone.

And at this moment, as he said, in the face of Zanetti, Henry is indeed very relaxed, surprisingly relaxed!

Previously, we often saw that the older players on the football field often played more relaxed, a scramble or attack after they didn't seem to sweat much, and did not consume any physical strength, but this does not mean that they are grinding foreign workers, stealing and slipping, but years of experience in the game make them familiar with the control of physical strength and rhythm, they know their best way to distribute physical strength, when it makes sense to run, when it makes sense to run, when it makes sense to run.

Today's Henry is in such a state, he slowed down and made two feints at Zanetti, but perhaps because it was too fake, not only Zanetti was unmoved, but even Henry, who has always been mild-tempered, laughed out loud, "Am I going too far?" He muttered softly.

At this time, Zanetti on the opposite side was nervously guarded but also a little embarrassed, which play are you playing? Are you kidding?

But at that moment, Henry's right foot suddenly cocked the ball out, and in Zanetti's ghostly expression, the ball flew past himself and the only remaining defender behind him, Samuel, straight in front of the goal.

And another figure wearing the No. 9 jersey was suddenly starting from the penalty area and running towards the goal, and for a while, the entire Argentine penalty area fell into chaos! It's just that although it is chaotic, they can all see where they are trying to stop.

That's Benzema!

This is the horror of Henry, although Henry's short explosiveness and sheer speed are also very good, he still prefers to operate on the left flank, preferring to be an attacker, a detourer, rather than a typical penalty killer, Henry likes to go out and score again or wait on the left side 30 meters from the goal to start. In this position, he is almost invincible!

Once at Arsenal, he pressed people with power and speed, but now in Barcelona and the French national team, he is using his instinct to control everything! That seemingly hilarious feint has become the most lighthearted and terrifying blow! This was something that Zanetti, who was no less experienced, could not have anticipated!

There is no way, in front of the attacker, the defender is often passive, and it is difficult to judge the opponent's thoughts through a subtle move and look! Especially in this kind of fight against the best players in the world!

And at this moment, in the shocked eyes of everyone, Benzema, who suddenly rushed out, jumped up against the flying ball! At this time, his elbow joint is naturally raised parallel to his shoulders, his two arms are retracted inward at 60 degrees, and he uses the power of his waist and abdomen to eject his upper body and his head to the ball at the same time!

The crowd not far away was shocked when they saw this scene, and Benzema, who jumped high, covered the Argentine goal like a roc bird! At this time, he is like a powerful ruler! Even Santhiago was amazed, such a rough and simple action is undoubtedly a violent aesthetic!

In the shocked eyes of everyone, Benzema pushed the ball into the Argentine goal! Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero couldn't react at such close distance and had to swallow the bitter fruit with the rest of the Argentine players.

"Henry's whimsical pick! The ball flew high and went over the Argentine defence! Benzema stands like an iron tower in the Argentine penalty area! In the face of the flying football, he jumped high and went over!

hat a goal！！！ The goal was scored, and Benzema helped the French Roosters score another goal at home to lead Argentina 2-0! No one can stop us! This is still from the tacit cooperation of the old and new generations of forwards! It's amazing!!! Under the passionate commentary of the commentator, the French players hugged and celebrated, and the fans in the stands also threw streamers to celebrate the moment.

In contrast, the Argentine players are like mourners, Zanetti and Gago, who are directly responsible for conceding the goal, are even more silent watching the cheering fans on the field, in the head-to-head confrontation with Henry and Benzema, they undoubtedly lost completely, if coupled with Henry's play with Zanetti's pass and Tulalang's successful defense of Santtigo, then in the first half of the game, Argentina faced France is undoubtedly completely inferior, yes, everyone.

And tens of thousands of French fans in the stadium shouted Benzema's name loudly under the leadership of the home DJ, and it was he who completely exploded the Argentine backline with his dominant performance just now.

For a while, the atmosphere at Marseille's home stadium was even more enthusiastic, and huge waves rushed towards the players from all directions, and in the face of such a situation, coach Maradona had no other way but to encourage the players loudly on the sidelines.

The king thinks that he has done his best in the face of the lack of attacking changes, but everything at the moment still makes him feel powerless and bitter! How could he have predicted before the game that in the head-to-head encounter, the individual abilities of the players would be completely suppressed, and even the seemingly omnipotent Saint-Tiago was touched by Tulalang.

"Brothers!! Stand up!! Don't be discouraged, it's okay! We can do it! Don't forget, there are countless fans who are following and supporting us!! ”

However, just as the French were celebrating with emotion, Saint-Tiago stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and then high-fived each teammate loudly with both hands, and pointed to the ** on the sidelines and yelled. He knew that he couldn't afford to be deflated at this time, and once he was deflated, coupled with the terrifying home atmosphere of the French, it would really be a catastrophe!!
