“goal！！！！！！！ Messi, Leo. Messi !! He scored a sharp shot! He used his goal to help Argentina break the deadlock in the final moments of the first half and also put down the Ivorians' plan to take the game to a draw into the second half! This time Ivorian goalkeeper Okaya was not able to defend the goal behind him! ”

"Although it was Messi who scored the goal, it is undeniable that the role played by Saint-Thiago in this goal was absolutely deserved! The Argentine midfielder, who was once a talented midfielder, scored the first assist of the Argentine team of this Olympics with a wonderful individual performance and an assist! Let's bless him and wish this young man to regain his former glory as soon as possible! ”

The moment the ball flew into the goal, the whole stadium burst into a tsunami of shouts, and Argentina scored!! Messi scored!! It was a scene that most fans talked about before the game, and now it is as expected!

After the goal, Messi also ran to the sidelines excitedly and cheered with the fans, this was his first Olympic goal! The excited roars of the fans and the unfurling of flags made him feel that he had not accepted Barcelona's offer, and that it was definitely the right thing to do to come to the Olympics. And the same is true of San-Tiago, who seemed even more excited than Messi to deliver his first Olympic assist, after all, what could make him happier than being cheered on by tens of thousands of Chinese fans?

"Thank you, Santi! You've done a great job, they're completely toyed with by you! The introverted Messi turned around and high-fived Santiago after some celebration and laughed, to which Santiago waved his stinky hand, indicating that it was just a piece of cake, which caused Messi and his teammates around him to laugh.

The first half ended with the Argentine players celebrating, but when the players from both sides entered the tunnel to open the half-time break, the Ivorian fans from afar were not idle. Don't look at their small number, but there are many ways to cheer for their national team: before the game, they stand up and cheer in their seats, sing and dance and add small cheers, and then shout in Chinese to cheer for the Olympics and Côte d'Ivoire.

At halftime, the men lined up again, dancing and singing with their flags, and circled the audience from the middle of the audience. Two of the Ivorian balls even pulled a Chinese flag and circled the field at the opening and halftime, shouting: "Come on China, come on Olympics, come on Côte d'Ivoire." Everywhere they went, the Chinese audience shouted with them, forming a loud cheer.

When the game resumed after a short break, the Ivorian fans stood in front of their seats again and held high the national flag and cheered loudly for their home team. The approach and spirit of these fans is no different from that of the returning Ivorian players, who were not discouraged by the overall disparity in quality and backwardness, but set off a fierce offensive.

In the 49th minute, Ivory Coast midfielder Anguiwa took the ball and knocked to the right, suddenly shot from a distance, and the ball deflected wide of the goal frame. After wiping his face regretfully, Anguwa intercepted the ball in the midfield two minutes later, cut off the ball from the feet of Gago, and sent the ball to the Argentine penalty area with a pick-up pass, and the most feared Argentine Calou jumped up to beat the central defender Perega, pushed the ball towards the goal, and directly penetrated the ten fingers of the Argentine goalkeeper Ustari.

Seeing this scene, the Argentine boys looked at each other, after exceeding the score in the last half of the first half, their confidence in themselves and their control of the game had already gone up a notch, but what they didn't expect was that in such a situation, they were suddenly equalized inexplicably!

Watching Kalou happily provoke a folk dance surrounded by his teammates, Perega, who had just been forced to do so, showed a helpless expression, and at that moment Kalou brought him the feeling of being like another monster!

The Ivorian who was highlighted by the Argentine coaching staff several times before the match is a well-deserved attacking all-rounder in African football, playing as a striker or as a winger on the left and right wings. The information received suggests that he personally prefers to play as a left winger, as it helps him to cut inside to finish his shots. Like most African players, Kalou has excellent physical attributes, with great speed and explosiveness, which, combined with a certain skill set at his feet, makes him quite a dribbling threat.

It's just that what Kalou lacks is offensive efficiency, although he has certain characteristics in dribbling, but the "terminal effect" after passing is often insufficient, and his shooting skills in front of the goal need to be improved.

Such characteristics make the Argentine defenders tend to have a biased layout when marking the defense, but this unexpected header made Perega suffer a loss!

In fact, it is not easy to say that this Kalou is not simple, he played for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, starting 60 times for Feyenoord in two seasons, seven substitutes and scoring 35 goals. In the UEFA Cup, he started six games as a substitute and scored four goals. Throughout the 2004-2005 season, he finished second in the Eredivisie scorer list with 20 goals and was named the 2005 Johan Cruyff Prize of the Year in the Netherlands. In a three-striker formation, he can play as a left and right winger, or as a second striker in a two-striker formation. Feyenoord's striker trio of Kuyt, Kalou and Castren can be described as famous, sweeping the country of tulips.

Because of his eye-catching performance in the 2005/06 season, he was favored by the Dutch national team coach Van Basten. As Salomon Kalou did not represent Ivory Coast, Van Basten wanted to apply for Dutch citizenship for him to represent the Dutch national team, but he was unsuccessful.

Kalou's goal revived the Ivorians' hopes of seeing victory, and of course, they may never have let go of that hope.

"Press it up! Offensive! Offensive! What are you doing, have you been beaten? We need to attack! Under the roar of coach Batista, the Argentine boys quickly came to their senses and once again launched a fierce hand-to-hand encounter with Ivory Coast. In the 59th minute, Ivorian defender Cambu was yellow carded for a foul on Santiago for stopping his advance, and Santi quickly took a free kick with the referee's approval, and Aguero took the ball and fired a violent volley through the Ivorian goal.

But just as the Argentines were about to celebrate in desperation, the linesman raised the flag and signaled that Aguero's goal was disallowed for offside.

In the 70th minute, Riquelme's free-kick from the left was confiscated by Aguero from six yards. In the 72nd minute, Riquelme crossed from the left again and Aguero fired high from eight yards. In the 76th minute, Mascherano committed a foul in front of the penalty area, Riquelme was not satisfied with the decision and was booked, and Kalou's free-kick from 25 yards went straight wide. In the 79th minute, Ivory Coast substitute Yao's shot from inside the box was blocked by Garay, and then his low shot from eight yards grazed the right-hand post.

The game fell into a weak stalemate, and Santiago's physical strength also quickly bottomed out, seeing that there were only ten minutes left, but their own side had not been able to lay the victory, but the Ivorian physical strength advantage was highlighted, Santiago was very anxious, and at this time, taking advantage of a corner kick opportunity of the opponent, Messi came over with a haircut.
