Chapter 63: Two Eagles Fight for the Nest (3)

Despite avoiding a threatening attack, Batista couldn't rest his mind.

Everyone knows very well that there is a big gap between the video footage and the sensory impact of the naked eye in the real game, but the smoothness of the ground transmission coordination of the African Eagles from the beginning of the game to the present is surprising.

Seeing this situation, Batista was worried, no one would expect to rely on fouls every time to stop the Nigerian, it is better to block it than to loosen it, and solving it at the source is the best way.

However, Batista knew that he was not yet the world's top coach, and if he was asked to come up with a plan to deal with it immediately, he knew that he could not do it, so he could only think while continuing to observe the situation on the field.

After a false alarm, the Argentine Olympic team regained the ball, and after Romero drove the goal, Nigeria rose up in groups, and there was a great sense of using high pressing to suppress the Argentine's living space. Seeing this, Riquelme was quite a bit of an opponent who was in his own hands, he firmly controlled the ball at his feet, and made many exquisite dodge moves, which caused the fans to cheer and at the same time, it made the Argentine fans laugh wildly at the Nigerian's incompetence.

You don't ask, what kind of character Riquelme is, whether it's in South American football or European football, it's a well-known art palace, how many people have you seen who can really break the ball from his feet?

Just as the Argentine fans were full of disdain, even the Nigerian could not manage to break the ball from Riquelme's feet in the next few minutes, even if he was one step away from success on several occasions, Riquelme passed the ball in time. It was like walking a tightrope, as if the ball would be broken a little later.

To a certain extent, this also aroused the competitiveness of Nigerians, and they devoted themselves more enthusiastically to this great and passionate cause, but after a few consecutive times, everyone understood that Riquelme seemed to love this feeling of walking a tightrope, deliberately giving Nigeria a chance to touch, but in fact it was a lot of physical consumption.

Whenever the ball reached the feet of the rest of the Argentine Olympic team, they quickly re-passed it back to Riquelme, because it is rare for anyone to be as calm as Riquelme when pressed like a mad dog by the Nigerian.

These young Argentinian lads are still a little short of the heat.

Seeing such a dramatic scene on the field, not only the Argentine and neutral fans were happy, but even the commentators from various countries couldn't help but ridicule the Nigerians.

Although he is not very interested in the dark-skinned African big brothers, but Santhiago is not a racist, and he does not think that these African big brothers are a group of brainless chimpanzees, let alone Nigeria, which is famous and good in world football?

He doesn't think that these Nigerian players will know that they can't catch the ball, and they will use their own strength, even if you have more energy, this is not the use!

But seeing this strange and even some weird scene, San Tiago really has no reasonable explanation, in the face of the Nigerian in an instant of crazy pressing, looking at the team, there are really few people who can be as calm as Romy, and they do not have the ability to run long distances, once the ball is not sent out at the first time, it is very likely to be broken.

So at present, it seems that it can only ......

Wrong!!!

Santiago just wanted to wait and see what happened, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he grasped the clue! He looked at the Nigerian desperately trying to break the ball from Riquelme's feet and understood exactly what his opponent was thinking, and that was exactly what they wanted! They just want the ball to be at Riquelme's feet!

In this way, they can not only use Riquelme's own sticky ball attributes to minimize the danger, but also can launch a counterattack once the ball is broken, leaving the Argentines unable to react, such a mind can be described as insidious! They thoroughly analyzed Romi's technical characteristics! This is skillfully applied, and the Argentines have a blind trust in Riquelme!

But this kind of conspiracy just made Saint Tiago, who saw through this move and wanted to come forward, feel powerless, what could he do? What can you do even if you want to get the ball? Once the ball is passed, it is not the same result as a loss in the front court!

Thinking of this, his pace of progress gradually slowed down, and he fell into the battle between heaven and man for a while.

At this moment, a loud exclamation pulled Santhiago out of his thoughts, and the Nigerian broke the ball! Riquelme still made a mistake in the end!!

After all, Riquelme was tired of dealing with the multi-person bag, and the continuous high pressing made his teammates a little afraid of the ball, and finally Riquelme was cut off without a right-hand man!

Seizing this opportunity, the African Eagles immediately launched a surprise attack in the Argentine half!

Nigeria captain Isak broke the ball and passed directly to his teammates who saw the opportunity to start, and a storm of attack suddenly arrived! Fortunately, at this moment, the Argentine players were almost pressed by the high position and cowered in their own half, and Mascherano immediately followed up to press Obiena who broke through with the ball. The rest of the players also acted immediately after a short reaction time and quickly opened up the defense.

Obiena, who has just signed a four-year contract with Inter Milan, had previously played for Chievo in Serie A, and this season Chievo was relegated to another way.

As one of the few young talents in Nigeria, Obiena has good physical fitness, is also very fast, is a typical fast horse on the wing, coupled with the physical advantage of running a wide range on the field, and also helps defensively, so he has always been the main force of Chievo in Serie A. However, Victor Obiena also has a serious personal flaw, that is, he personally likes to dribble the ball, although he has a certain ability to control the ball, but it is easy to fall into the embarrassment of dribbling with his head down and ignoring the situation around him.

Compared with the first-class players, the weak awareness, foot skills and overall vision made Obiena, who was dribbling the ball at the moment, only bagged his head and ran wildly towards the Argentine penalty area, and was intercepted by Mascherano without passing the ball in time.

Until this time, he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem until he couldn't take Obiena anymore, and he seemed to stumble under the close pressure of Xiao Ma, so he could only find an opportunity to send the ball away.

Seeing that a fast attack opportunity was turned into a tough battle, Nigerian coach Xia Xia was depressed and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, but there was no way, Obiena was such a characteristic. If you want him to change for a while, he can't do it for a while, and he is a different person, and there is no ability and experience in Serie A at the same age, so he can only pinch his nose and pay attention to it.

After receiving Obiena's return pass on the field, Nigerian captain Isak resisted the idea of scolding the kid and immediately loudly organized the players to switch to positional battles. Although Nigeria's official language is English, the ability to communicate on the pitch with a fluent local dialect is enough for the blinded Argentine players to defend passively.

Isaac saw that the speed of the ball gradually slowed down, and he pointed to an empty space while loudly commanding his teammates, as if he was asking his teammates to run there to respond. Seeing this situation, Gago, who was defending, couldn't help but glance back in order to make the next response, but what Gago didn't expect was that just as he turned around, the veteran Isak suddenly hooked the ball straight ahead!

By the time Gago's composures came to his senses, the ball had flown over his head!

In this game, the only overage player in Nigeria, Oden Wenji, who played as a single striker in this game, also squeezed away when the rest of the players were attracted by this pass, and the central defender Garay suddenly started, unloaded the ball and hit the goal!

Fortunately, another central defender, Pareja, is also a battle-hardened master, Garay fell out of the team, he did not fall behind, and stretched out his leg to block the shot at the last moment, otherwise it is really hard to say whether Romero can continue to defend the gate, after all, the Nigerian acted too suddenly!

Seeing the ball fly out of bounds, the Argentine player came back to his senses and sighed, already in a cold sweat.

Even Saint-Tiago, who was defending with his eyes throughout the whole process, couldn't help but curse in a low voice: Damn, why are these deflated calves so yin?
