Historically, the Argentine Olympic team has participated in six Olympic Games, three of which reached the final. At Amsterdam 1928 and Atalanta 1996, Argentina lost to Uruguay and Nigeria to finish runners-up, and at Athens 2004, Argentina won the Olympic gold medal for the first time in their history with a 1-0 victory over Paraguay.

The impact of the previous setbacks is far-reaching, and the significance of winning gold at the Athens Olympics is even greater, and people in Argentina are looking forward to another success of the national Olympic team, because in a sense, the national Olympic team has become the most direct expression of the strength of the country's football talent pool and future strength during this period. Therefore, in this Olympic Games, all countries have sent their own core young forces in football.

Belgium sent Kompany, Vermaelen, Fellaini, Vertonghen, Dembele and others, and Brazil also sent Reina, Marcelo, Thiago. Silva, Diego, Joo, Ramirez, Pato are a form of young talent and are led by Ronaldinho, an overage player.

In Argentina's list of scheduled to participate in the 08 Olympic Games, in addition to the selection of an overage player Riquelme, the coach of the national Olympic team, the rest of the players are Messi, Aguero and other young talents who have been trained in high-level European leagues early in the morning, and their undoubted strength is the core of the U20 young players. However, due to the important closing moment of the European League, Messi, Aguero and others did not return to the national team in this training camp, and the personnel were not neat, and Batista was also based on more running-in.

After all, with the exception of Bonanotte, who plays for River Plate, Riquelme and Monzon, who play for Boca Juniors, the rest of the players all play in foreign leagues, and their technical and tactical styles are also very different. Therefore, when strength is not a problem, how to unify it into a single style and tactics is what Batista needs to think about.

Standing on the sidelines and watching the young teenagers running on the field, the coach of the National Olympic Games, who has a luxurious squad, is not easy in his heart.

Take a look at this enviable squad: Garay for Real Madrid, Perega for Inter Milan, Banega for Valencia, Di Maria for Benfica, Fazio and Acosta for Sevilla, Romero for AZ Alkmaar, as well as Bonanott for River Plate in their home league, Riquelme Boquelme for Boca Juniors, Monzon and others...... Such a squad seems to many countries to almost crush the existence of their national teams!

Not to mention Real Madrid's Gago, Barcelona's Messi, Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero, Liverpool's Mascherano, Getafe's Ustari and other eight players have not returned to the team because of the league! There is no doubt that the Argentine Football Association attaches great importance to defending the Olympic football gold medal, and has high expectations for this team.

It is easy to imagine how much pressure Batista is under such circumstances, and he looks at these talented and heroic teenagers, but he is constantly thinking about who can be qualified for the position of midfield commander among the young players who play at home and abroad.

That's right, at this time, the Argentine Olympic team is still missing an extremely important figure, that is, the core of the frontcourt organization!

Among the midfielders he has recruited, Gago and Mascherano are the best midfielders, while Banega is better than attacking and is an excellent central midfielder, but the national team has no shortage of such attackers. The only ones left who can be qualified for this position seem to be the old fritter Riquelme and Sosa, who plays for Bayern, but both have different degrees of defects!

Sousa's organisational skills are very good, one of the best players of his generation, and Rummenigge has said that this lad reminds me of Schustel, and his organisational skills are unmatched. However, there is one thing that Sousa does not dare to believe easily, and that is self-confidence, the young Argentine midfielder is not bad at skill but lacks self-confidence.

As a former professional footballer, Batista naturally knows the lethality of this, and this is not a problem that can be solved in a short time, if Sosa can play at Bayern for a season, I believe he can slowly make up for it, but not now.

And the last player, Riquelme, is a well-deserved midfield maestro, in this position he has a terrifying dominance, he is like a leisurely stroll, he can complete a hundred steps under the bag, he can send a delicate single knife, as the saying goes: from here to there, people usually choose a two-hour highway, but Riquelme will choose a winding mountain road, because the rugged mountain road has a unique scenery.

But this is always just a personal performance, Riquelme who entered the national Olympic team as an overage player is indeed the core of the national Olympic team appointed by Batista, and even he did not hesitate to communicate with Riquelme many times to convince Romy, but Riquelme's shortcomings are also very obvious, almost obvious defense, fragile body...... And the slow pace!

In the end, Batista couldn't help but sigh again, Riquelme will be the most critical core and soul of this team, but if a team wants to succeed, it needs a player who can sort out the overall situation, a real front-court organization core! He's got to be both offensive and defensive, he's got to play the ball fast, he's got to lead by example! Reduce some tissue tandem, increase the running range, pull the edge and return defense.

Run out of space and then ask for the ball, and then use this to drive all the players, and then control the team, and then pass the ball to the teammates with the best chances in the game, this process is simple to say, but the physical confrontation of the players, running ability and other aspects are very demanding, and even in the eyes of many fans, such a move... It's not elegant... Especially South American fans.

I have to say that Batista once had a choice, a player who did not lack technology, did not lack self-confidence, could become the main midfielder in a giant like AC Milan and win honors, and could grow up under the light of Kaka, a unique commander, with him, the national Olympic team can completely imitate AC Milan's tactics, almost perfect imprint!

But it's a pity that this benevolent brother seems to have played himself off!

If it really doesn't work, then you can only use the 4222 formation commonly used by Basile in the national team, because the players are very familiar with this formation and are conducive to showing stronger strength. The goalkeeper position is occupied by Ustari, the central defensive position is the partner of Garay who moved to Real Madrid this summer, Perega, the right wing-back is Espanyol main Zabaleta, and the left-back is Boca Juniors Monzon. The duo of Mascherano and Gago is absolutely world-class, while Messi and Riquelme form a double midfield, Riquelme is the core of the attack, Messi uses speed and skill to find and create opportunities around Big Brother, and the forward position is led by Atletico Madrid talent Sergio Aguero, who plays for Napolislavic in his partner.

But again, a formation won't work to play the world, with so many big-name stars, he could have played a lot of tactical changes, but now he is a little restricted!

Thinking of this, Batista shook his head, and yesterday Mr. Bianchi called him and asked him to give the young man another chance and to say that the player's mental outlook had changed substantially. For such a request, Batista was also moved, and he rekindled hope, so this morning Batista called the young player, but the moment he picked up the phone, Batista was already angry! You San Tiago knew that you were coming to the training ground today, but you still slept in! I'm still sleeping! Did you take it all seriously!?

"Hey!" Batista stomped his foot fiercely, angry and angry!

This Santiago is really good, don't learn bad! And learn so fast! So early! Batista used to be a national team player, and there are some things he understands! The players from South America were poor and scared when they were young, and it is reasonable that they later played and their results degenerated, after all, who is simply for their dreams? But you, Santiago, have fallen too quickly! Everyone else has won the grand prize, and at the age of 26 or 7, he began to indulge in alcohol, you are so good, a golden boy award, and he started in his early 20s!

"Boss? Mr. Sergio? At this moment, from behind Batista came the voice of Santiago, full of doubts, from the moment he entered the training ground, he saw the coach of the Olympic team, Batista, but when he walked over, he found that Battista was stomping his feet hard. Seeing this, Santhiago thought that it was a player who was not performing well, but when he looked at the training ground, he saw that the players were all playing to grab the circle, how could anyone not perform well!

So Santiago came to the conclusion that it... This TM is numb feet! Anyway, why is Batista's health so bad, he should only be 46 years old! Why do you get numb in your feet after just standing for a while?

"Oh? Here you go, okay, change your clothes and train! Battista was also startled by the cold voice behind him, and when he turned around and found that it was Santiago, he was also angry, and he held back his anger and said coldly.

"Uh... Yes, sir! ”

Saint-Tiago, who was full of fire, was undoubtedly poured cold water on his head when he heard Batista's tone, he didn't know why Battista didn't treat him like this, saying that since you don't want to see me, then what are you looking for me for? Is it really because it's all about giving Mr. Bianchi face? Santiago said yes and went into the locker room to change into training clothes and sneakers, and returned to the training field again.
