Moscow, Russia, 2018. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The World Cup in Russia is already in its final stages. The third-place and fourth-place finals were held yesterday, with Germany beating Brazil 7-1 to claim third place. The final will be between the two best teams, Argentina and Yugoslavia.

The eyes of the whole world have been focused here.

Look, the most talented players in the world are already here. Messi of the Argentine team, known as the king of the new generation, on the front line, although Aguero and Higuain have gradually aged, Dybala, the new star from the Juventus team, has quickly become popular. Mascherano has both attacking and defensive midfield, while Rojo at the back is also a leading talent. The Argentine team in its heyday, sitting on the world's top squad, is eyeing the World Cup champion!

Argentina's starting line-up was as follows:

Goalkeeper: Romero

Defenders: Rojo, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Garay

Midfielders: Pastore, Mascherano, Messi

Forwards: Sergio Aguero, Higuain, Dybala

This lineup may not be invulnerable defensively, but their offense is indeed world-class. Argentina have won three consecutive major tournament runners-up, and this time, as the greatest player in the world, Messi never wants to lose this World Cup again.

On the other hand, the Yugoslav team also sent a rather terrifying lineup. They don't have a player as talented as Lionel Messi in their squad, but they have a balance between attack and defence, and they have experienced two penalty shoot-outs against the Netherlands and Italy in this World Cup. It looked like they had stumbled all the way to qualify, but no one expected that they would still come to the end and come to the front of the Argentine team. In the face of a strong team like Argentina, can Yugoslavia create a miracle and win the championship with an upset?

The starting line-up for the Yugoslav team was as follows:

Goalkeeper: Oblak

Defenders: Fosarico, Joel Luka, Vida, Lovren

Midfielders: Pjanic, Modric, Perisic, Rakitic

Forwards: Dzeko, Piatsa

Such a lineup, with Modric as the core, Dzeko and Piatsa as the offensive pillars, and the defense under the command of Giorluka, although it looks slightly worse than Argentina's lineup, but it is actually quite effective. Compared with Argentina, which is strong in attack and weak in defense, the Yugoslav team has at least achieved a relative balance between attack and defense. With such a lineup, the Yugoslav team has created a miracle and entered the World Cup final in an upset, so can they defeat the powerful Argentina team and win the World Cup?

The game was about to begin, and the players from both sides were already standing in the players' aisle. The crowd at the Moscow Stadium was noisy – not only Argentine and Yugoslav fans, but also a large number of Russian fans in the stands. As a fighting nation, Russia has always acted very aggressively and boldly, and many Russian girls took advantage of the opportunity of the World Cup to wear revealing clothes in the stands. Of course, more fans still watch the game seriously, they paint their faces as red as monkey faces, and use their own practical actions to support their favorite teams!

Of course, in this world, there are far more people who like the Argentine team than the Yugoslav team. Not to mention anything else, just one Messi has already driven many fans crazy. There are very few teams that can limit Messi's play, even if he doesn't let him pass, he can still use his passing to create a threat, even if you block his passing route, he can even hit with long-range shots. In Messi's arsenal, there are too many weapons that can be used, and it is impossible to defend against them.

It is precisely because of Messi's omnipotence that he has countless fans in the world. Like Russia, the host country of this World Cup, their national team is limited, although they have home advantage, they have not been able to reach the final four of the World Cup, and they are purely appreciating the performances of those world-class teams in the games after the quarterfinals, and Messi is one of their main supporters.

The race is about to begin! The fans in the stadium are shouting Messi's name! They held the blue and white flag of Argentina, shouted loudly, I don't know when it started, under the command of a small group of fans, the audience sang the famous song "Argentina Don't Cry for Me".

It seems that there are a lot of fans who support Argentina, but there are very few fans who support the Yugoslav team!

……

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!

Argentina kicks off first! Messi passed the ball to Higuain, who, after getting the ball, passed the ball backwards to the defender Mascherano.

The lineup of the Argentine team is almost a lineup that abandons the flanks of the midfield. Or rather, it is a line-up that puts more responsibility on the full-backs and releases more attacking power into the attacking line. The two full-backs, Rojo and Garay, usually stand between the back line and the midfield line, and when attacking, the main attacking side is pressed up to the full-back position, and the two central defenders Zabaleta and Demichelis are slightly leaning to the side to make up for the loss of the full-back's assist. When defending, the two full-backs return to the full-back position and defend like a normal line-up. In this way, they no longer have a full-back, but will put the two full-backs in the forward line, and play a wonderful three-forward attack.

Therefore, the midfield of the Argentine team has only the center and no wings. Both Pastore and Mascherano can be called midfielders, while Messi is the midfielder. The pivot that connects the two midfielders and the forward line is Messi. Now that Mascherano has the ball, the only passing option he has when he moves forward is to hand the ball to Messi and let Messi handle it. In fact, that's exactly what Mascherano did.

With Messi, everything will be easy. The Argentine team's tactic is very simple, it is to take the ball and hand it to Messi. After Messi retreated to get the ball, facing Pjanic's defense, a simple feint plucked the ball, Pjanic was directly fooled, and Messi passed him lightly and skillfully. Then, Messi saw that the defense of Joel Luca and Vida in the middle was very tough, and instead of passing the ball to Higuain in the middle, he distributed it to Aguero, who was sprinting into the box on the wing.

Sergio Aguero shoots straight at goal without stopping! This shot was beyond everyone's expectations! Fosarico's defense wasn't in place, and he thought Aguero would be chasing the pass!

The only hope for the Yugoslav team now is the goalkeeper from Slovenia - Oblak, who has won the Champions League runner-up and La Liga runner-up on behalf of Atletico Madrid, and has been named the best goalkeeper in La Liga!
