A not perfect but enough to be called wonderful, the victory of the peak and loop finally got into the hands of Argentina, the score of 2:1 was not changed by anyone until the final whistle, the Argentines got off to a good start, Messi's brace made him raise his eyebrows, but the player who was named the best player of the game after the game was also Saint-Tiago, who also scored two assists!

Messi is proud of this, as Messi readily agreed, as he said in his post-match interview, it was a victory to remember, and Santhiago was the key man!

And what about Santiago? After a few days, he finally felt the feeling of being fanatically pursued by the media again, and more importantly, it was still positive! It was he who gave two assists in one game, not him who double-flew two girls in a hotel! Facing reporters from dozens of different TV stations, Santhiago was particularly excited, but this time he didn't make any bold statements, praised his teammates and opponents, and then stepped on the bus back after a little humbleness.

Obviously, Santhiago is still clear in his mind despite the excitement, a victory in the group stage cannot absolutely Argentina's qualification, and it is too early to make any bold statements!

Unlike the low-key of Santhiago, who transferred to Real Madrid, Garay, who performed well in this game, made his voice heard. In this Argentina team full of small men, defender Garay is undoubtedly an offbeat giant, with a height of 1.90 meters, which makes you instantly recognizable from the crowd. Although Garay's name is not loud enough for the time being, he is a rising star in Argentina.

In 2005, Garay won the U20 World Cup with Messi, Ustari, Aguero and Gago, and after Ayala retired, Argentine national team coach Basile has officially recruited Garay into the national team, and he is likely to become the defensive leader of the new Argentine team. On the club side, Garay will also be an important figure: Real Madrid bought Garay for 10 million euros this summer, thanks to Cannavaro's contract with Real Madrid that expired in 2009. However, Real Madrid loaned Garay to Santander for a year, and only after one season could Garay replace Cannavaro and form the core of Real Madrid's defense with Pepe.

After the game, with the help of Argentine "Ole" reporters Gustavo and Jose, Garay and San Tiago were interviewed by Chinese reporters at Shanghai Yuanshen Stadium, in which the two also talked about the current situation of the team, the relationship between new and old players, and Messi and other topics of concern, and the two completely different answers in some aspects also caused a lot of sensation.

When asked if Argentina had any focus in preparing for the game, such as which team to focus more on, Santhiago replied: "No, all our opponents are not easy to play because they want to beat Argentina." Of course, our goal is to beat all the teams, but we know it's going to be difficult and anyway, if you want to get there, you have to take your right foot first. ”

Garay, on the other hand, did not hesitate to say that Brazil and Nigeria were Argentina's real rivals, although this view was unanimously agreed by many, but when Garay said it to reporters in this situation, Santhiago thought it was quite inappropriate. He wanted to remind this young brother who had just transferred to Real Madrid and was full of ambition, but unfortunately others ignored him at all.

Seeing the Chinese reporter who showed a strange expression when he found this scene, San Tiago had no choice but to give up, he didn't want to make any rumors of discord within the team because of an ordinary interview, in that case, coach Battista would not let him go!

The next series of questions Santhiago was answered as thoroughly as possible, and Garay really became the food and clothing parents of media reporters, and after clarifying this, the reporter also began to deliberately specialize in Garay, and this arranged interview between the two was quite a bit of Garay's solo interview for a while. Santhiago didn't care about this, even if Garay was wrong? I remind others a little once that I don't appreciate it, what do you want to expect from yourself?

There is no way, there was not a lot of news about Santhiago, but when asked about the transfer from Milan to Boca Juniors, Santhiago kept his mouth shut, only saying that he was focused on the current game, but Garay gave enough topics.

Reporter: "What does it mean for you to be a Real Madrid player? ”

Garay: "It's another dream of mine, all the players want to play for a great team. I'm happy that my dream has come true and my hard work every day has paid off. ”

Reporter: "But you haven't entered Real Madrid yet, do you feel like you belong to Real Madrid?" ”

Garay: "Yes, I feel like I'm Real Madrid now, all the formalities were done a month ago. Yes, although I have to play in another team now, I can't say I'm a Real Madrid player, but hopefully it will lead me to Real Madrid, I'm a Real Madrid guy. ”

Look, when people speak, it's called a bright one, and in a word, it is enough to please the fans of the new club, how can the reporter not love it?

However, after seeing the newspaper the next day, Garay got coach Batista's black face all day, and then looked at Garay's confusion, Santiago could only smile helplessly, the coach has always regarded his group of people as children, and he is the head teacher, and of course he doesn't want the students to do anything other than studying. And in the Olympics, answering the club question is so topical, "I am a Real Madrid person. “

It is entirely possible to imagine what kind of trend this sentence will lead in the coming period, so it seems that the second time against the weaker Australia, it is understandable to let them sit on the bench and calm down, after all, with the depth of this Argentine Olympic team, there are many people who can play.

But what everyone didn't expect the most was that in this game, San Tiago was also pressed on the bench, which was quite a bit of a taste of pond fish, and Batista's explanation of internal and external changes was a tactical change, which made people have nothing to say. Who's going to have a big rotation on all lanes? Ravic replaced Sergio Aguero and Fazio replaced Pareja, and the formation was also directly changed to 4-3-3, allowing Di Maria to also play.

More changes before the knockout round should be a good thing, but throughout the first half against Australia, the Argentine team's attack was repeatedly frustrated, and they could only rely on long-range shots to fill the façade, and then after half-time mediation into the second half, the situation still did not change in the slightest, which also made Batista look back at Santiago again and again, thinking about whether to replace this kid first, to ensure a victory in exchange for early qualification in the group stage.

Feeling the coach's eyes on this, Saint-Tiago unconsciously sat up straight, his head was not deviated, and he no longer laughed with Banega and others beside him, and he was like a good baby loved by a teacher.

Santiago wants to play so much!

Unfortunately, in the end, Santilago still failed to get the opportunity to play, and the long-lost Argentina team broke the deadlock in the 77th minute, Messi passed the ball with Riquelme in succession, Di Maria crossed from the left side of the penalty area, and Ravic at the far point fired a low shot into the bottom left corner of the net from 10 yards.

The belated goal gave Batista a sigh of relief, not because he didn't trust Saint-Tiago's ability, but because he still wanted to create a spark between Riquelme and Messi if there was a solution.

Although Australia came close to equalising in the 79th minute, Lucavisia's volley from 14 yards was denied by Ustari, and the game ended in a 1-0 victory for Argentina, and two consecutive wins in the group stage also secured Argentina an early qualification.
