Chapter 1223: Turning the Tide
Wu Lei, who was inserted in the front, did not come back, and central defender Zhang Lin Peng had to take into account Ravitch on the right side in the process of fighting and retreating, while Feng Xiaoting and Hao Junmin had to stare at Messi one after the other, and Jiang Zhipeng stared at Aguero inside.
Although they have a certain advantage in the number of defenders, the defensive pressure they feel is enormous.
Suddenly, the frenetic atmosphere at the Maracanã Stadium rose to the top, and the focus of the 75,000 fans was all on Messi, who was wearing a blue and white striped shirt, and he was striding towards the 40-meter area of the Chinese team's defense.
Considering Messi's super ability, Feng Xiaoting and Hao Junmin, who are stuck in the middle, dare not act rashly while fighting and retreating, they are afraid that they will be easily shaken off by Messi's accelerated change of direction, so they choose a relatively conservative defensive strategy.
In addition, Ravic on the left and Aguero on the right form a three-on-four frontcourt, which has a strong visual impact.
You must know that this situation occurred in the second minute of extra time of the game, which was enough to make any fan feel the blood boiling.
Of course, this is only for neutral fans.
Even supporters of Argentina are nervous because they know ...... Perhaps, Messi's breakthrough with the ball will have a good chance of bringing Argentina a golden goal, or more directly, it is very likely to be exchanged for a championship trophy!
The Chinese fans were terrified, and before the game, they were recognized as world champions!
Even at half-time, the Chinese team still has a ninety percent chance of winning the championship.
Can ...... now Everything has changed!
The rapid changes in football are vividly reflected in the 90 minutes of this World Cup final.
In the blink of an eye, Messi stepped into the 35-meter area of the Chinese team's defense, and Hao Junmin, who played a cameo role in the back, realized that he could not continue to sit still, so he said hello to Feng Xiaoting and stepped forward to defend Messi.
"―Whoa!!"
At this moment, a tsunami-like cheer suddenly erupted in the area where the Chinese fans were located, raising the chant that had reached its peak to a notch.
The sound is so loud that a loud decibel noise can be heard in the on-site commentary seats and VIP seats.
The fans of both sides who were waiting on the periphery of the stadium without tickets were puzzled, and the Argentine fans even forgot to cheer because of the delay in the broadcast signal.
It wasn't until five seconds later that the camera gave the reason, so the next scene was a feng shui rotation......
※※※
Messi went from his own half-circle arc to the 35-meter area of the Chinese team's defense, and even Chen Tao and Wu Xi were completed at high speed on the way, and the game passed 90 minutes, and the physical consumption was very large.
According to the running distance given by the broadcaster a minute ago, the Argentine team ran an average of 10,300 meters, while Messi alone ran 11,400 meters.
If you count the full season of 2013-2014, the six games of the warm-up and main matches before the World Cup, the physical fatigue has reached its peak.
So Messi chose to slow down his speed when facing the double defense of Hao Junmin and Feng Xiaoting.
Hao Junmin saw that Messi's speed had slowed down, so he decisively said hello to Feng Xiaoting and rushed forward.
Even if you can't cut off the ball at Messi's feet, at least use a tactical foul to stop the ball in place.
He has a strong ability to read the game, and knows that Messi's set-piece ability is also good, and if you want to foul, you have to do it early!
However, Hao Junmin obviously underestimated Messi's breakthrough ability, and Messi in the camera flicked the ball to the left with the outside of his left foot, and his left shoulder sank at the same time, with the illusion of accelerating to the left.
Hao Junmin reflexively pounced to the right, but Messi took advantage of his center of gravity and slammed the ball to the right on the inside of the instep of his left foot, accelerating in the opposite direction of Hao Junmin.
After playing for 90 minutes and changing three positions, the physical consumption was huge, Hao Junmin's body couldn't keep up with the change of consciousness, and he could only watch Messi go away.
At this time, a huge cheer suddenly erupted in the sky above the Maracanã Stadium, and Hao Junmin, who had just finished the emergency stop and brake action, was affected and stunned.
At the same time, a red figure swept past Hao Junmin's side, accompanied by a whistling sound.
The big number nine on the back of the red jersey tells everyone who the owner of this number is.
That's right, he is the legendary superstar of the Chinese team - Iro!
Seeing Iello getting closer and closer to Messi, the whole stadium boiled like boiling hot water.
※※※
Messi directly faced the central defender Feng Xiaoting after passing Hao Junmin, and the forward insertion of Ravic and Aguero put Argentina's attack in an absolute advantage, which is the three-on-three reflected in the camera.
However, where the camera dragged behind, Ielloh, wearing the number nine shirt, was getting closer and closer to Messi.
Andy Gray, the Sky TV commentator in the commentary room, exclaimed: "Incredible! Is that...... Mugwort!! ”
Others, like BBC commentator Lineker, suddenly stood up from his seat: "Oh my God, Ai's speed is reminiscent of him in the 2006-2007 season!" Hasten!! ”
The commentator of the Argentine national television saw that it was Ailo who caught up, and he was inexplicably worried, and he blurted out: "This is too unscientific!" ”
Messi, who was facing the goal head-on, naturally didn't know that it was Ailo who was catching up, and he was just surprised when he faced Feng Xiaoting with the ball.
At this time, there is still someone who can keep up with their own speed?
Odd!
But he was less than 30 meters away from the goal, and Feng Xiaoting, who had rich defensive experience, could take the initiative at any time, so there was no time for him to guess.
Feng Xiaoting has his back to the goal, he has a wide field of vision, even if all his attention is on Messi, his afterglow is to notice Ailo who is returning to defense at high speed.
Between the lightning and flint, the two made eye contact.
Feng Xiaoting instantly understood what Ai Luo wanted to express, and chose to take the initiative to move forward.
In addition, Zhang Lin Peng and Jiang Zhipeng adducted at the same time, jamming the inside space of Ravic and Aguero, forcing Messi to continue to dribble forward.
Messi realized Feng Xiaoting's intention to break the ball, and at the same time, the passing route of the two ribs was also blocked by Zhang Lin Peng and Jiang Zhipeng, and the pass did not work, so he was determined to accelerate the breakthrough of Feng Xiaoting.
He knew that Feng Xiaoting was the last defender of the Chinese team, and if he chose to foul, he would definitely pay the price of a red card, 11 to 9, and enter overtime, that is, nine out of ten!
Messi had a right shoulder sinking action in the process of riding the ball at a constant speed, and the deceived Feng Xiaoting pounced on the left side.
Immediately afterwards, Messi slammed the ball to the left with the outside of his left foot and accelerated the breakthrough from the opposite direction of Feng Xiaoting.
"Whoa!!"
The Argentine fans at the scene roared hoarsely when they saw Messi break through the last defender of the Chinese team.
But they haven't been happy for long, Iroh is running with his left foot on his toes, waist and abdomen, and at the same time his right long leg is stepping forward, completely cutting off Messi's connection with football.
