Chapter 1199 Final Opponent - Argentina!
"Hewei, which team do you think will make it to the finals?"
At the end of the 120-minute game, his partner Xu Yang immediately asked.
He Wei looked at Messi and Robben on the screen for a moment, and then said softly according to the historical record of the two teams: "Since the war in 1974, the two teams have met nine times, and the Netherlands has an absolute advantage with 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, and the only time Argentina won was back in the 1978 World Cup, Argentina defeated the Netherlands 3:1 in extra time......"
"In the last World Cup, Argentina beat us to advance to the semi-finals, and the opponent is the current opponent Netherlands, if you want to ask me who is in the final, it is really difficult for me to go back, after all, there are too many factors that affect the penalty shootout."
"Yes, penalty shoot-outs are about the psychological quality of the players who take the penalty kick, and at the same time, luck also plays a certain role......"
As He Wei and Xu Yang chatted, Messi and Van Persie, who wore the captain's armband, had finished guessing at the referee's office.
The first to take the penalty was the Netherlands, and the appearance was the very good central defender Vlaar in this World Cup, who erected a strong wall in front of the goalkeeper, and this game was to complete the important task of coach Louis van Gaal to defend Messi and Higuain, and try to keep the goal open, dragging the game into a penalty shootout.
Louis van Gaal put the young Vlaar first on the penalty spot, which is enough to show the psychological quality of the young player.
However, it was precisely because of his youth and lack of game experience that he panicked in the face of the experienced goalkeeper Romero...... The penalty was saved.
The first player sent by Argentina is relatively rigorous, and it can even be said that it is the highest standard, because it ...... The player who played was captain Lionel Messi!
Cillessen, who is representing the national team for the first time in a World Cup-level competition, is obviously not as experienced as Romero, and the pressure in his heart is very high, so he took the lead in making a save in the face of Messi's feints in the run.
The next thing to do is undoubtedly simple for a star of Messi's calibre, who kicked the penalty in the opposite direction of Cillessen's save.
The sky above the Corinthians Arena was boiling over Messi's penalty into the net, as if the team had reached the final.
“…… It looks like the Dutch team is going to be in danger. ”
There are already commentators in the commentary seats, who are not very optimistic about the Dutch team.
In the second round, Robben and Garay, who took penalties on behalf of the team, scored the ball respectively, and the score was 2:1, and Argentina took the lead.
After two rounds, the penalty kick in the third round has undoubtedly become extremely important, and it was the veteran Sneijder who represented the Netherlands.
However, Sneijder, who has disappeared from the mainstream European league to the Turkish league, is no longer the same Sneijder four years ago, facing Romero with a half-high ball, who did not miss such an opportunity and saved the ball with one palm.
Representing Argentina in the third round was Sergio Aguero, who slotted home with ease.
3:1
In other words, if the Netherlands' penalty kickers fail to score in the fourth round, Argentina will enter the final.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the next Dutch player scores, as long as the Argentine player who kicked the penalty kick in the fourth round kicks the ball, it will also be Argentina who enters the final.
Other words...... Argentina's entry into the final is a foregone conclusion.
Seeing Sergio Aguero score the penalty, Aylo got up and said: "The outcome is decided, the Dutch team has taken the risk and lost, and our final opponent is ...... Argentina! ”
The next result, as Iello said, was that although the veteran Kuyt, who played in the fourth round, kicked the ball in, the veteran Maxi Rodriguez, who played a penalty for Argentina, also scored the ball.
So...... The final opponent of the Chinese team is Argentina!
※※※
The Corinthians Arena was reduced to a sea of joy for Argentine fans, while the Argentine players gathered in the stadium to celebrate the victory.
It is worth mentioning that after the Argentine captain Messi celebrated with his teammates, he took the initiative to walk to the master who carried the camera into the stadium, pointed at the camera with his right index finger, and said with a serious face: "The final, I'm here...... Are you ready? ”
As long as the fans are still watching the live broadcast, how can they not know who Messi is referring to 'you'?
That's right, he is the captain of the Chinese team, Ailuo!
The live directors who were still focusing on Argentina's advance to the World Cup final had to temporarily change the topic.
Among them, BBC commentator Andy Gray gave a classic comment: "There is no dispute, Ai and Messi are the best players on the planet, whether you admit it or not, it is all here, yesterday, Ai led the Chinese team to beat the host Brazil 7:1, showing the fangs of terror, although now Messi also led Argentina to the final, but I have to say that there is still a certain gap between the two." ”
"That's right! Although Ai didn't score many goals in yesterday's game, his assists were very powerful, and it can be said that he was the "culprit" who created the 'Mineiro Arena tragedy'! Looking at Messi's form in today's game, Argentina was able to advance to the final more because goalkeeper Romero performed amazingly in the penalty shootout......"
Then Martin Taylor picked up the topic.
"So...... Leo challenged Ai, which can be said to be self-inflicted!! ”
Andy Gray's words are very sharp, completely ignoring the feelings of Argentine star Messi, full of personality and at the same time taking a stand!
In addition, CCTV commentator He Wei said: "If I am not mistaken, Messi's words are to Iello, watching Argentina enter the final, I can't help but remind people of the final of the 2005 World Youth Championships in the Netherlands...... Was Messi's remarks a declaration of the summit on the night of Maracanã four days later, or was it ...... Shoot yourself in the foot? Let's wait and see! ”
At the same time, the Chinese network is exploding.
In the minds of domestic fans, Ailuo can be said to be like a god, and in this case, Ailuo's defeated Messi dared to provoke in the live TV, isn't this looking for a draw?
So...... Chinese fans started Meihei.
Of course, all this Iroh didn't know.
Because he got up and went back to his room after seeing Sergio Aguero score the penalty, the team has to take a flight to Rio de Janeiro tomorrow morning and have to recuperate.
And Argentine fans are very supportive of Messi's approach, and countless fans began to fantasize that four days later, at the Maracanã Stadium, the Argentine team led by Messi defeated the Chinese team led by Ailo and won the third World Cup championship in the team's history!
Messi challenged Ailo through the live camera when the team advanced to the final, which naturally became the focus of media attention, and at the regular press conference after the game, Messi became the subject of everyone's interview, which directly led to the neglect of Argentine coach Savilla......
