Before the game, although many people could roughly guess the starting lineup for the final, it was still a bit surprising when the actual starting lineup was released, especially the Chinese team.

Fullbacks Jiang Zhipeng and Zhang Lin Peng are all fullbacks who are good at assists, while Wu Xi, Huang Bowen, and Zhang Xizhe in the midfield are all good at attacking, and the defense can only be regarded as average.

In addition, Zhang Xizhe's defensive task in Guardiola's tactical system is not very heavy, just to strengthen the running in the process of switching from attack to defense and cut off the opponent's passing route.

Argentina's starting lineup can only be regarded as mediocre, with no changes to the stable backline, and there is a clear contrast between the midfield and the Chinese team.

Mascherano is known for his interceptions, and Perez's passing ability and breakthrough ability are good, but it is his ferocious midfield interceptions that are impressive.

Villa is also a type of midfielder, but there is a certain difference from Mascherano, his role is equivalent to that of Real Madrid's Xavi Alonso, but in the end he still focuses on defending in midfield.

After the starting lineup was officially announced, the commentators in the on-site commentary seats began to comment on the finalists.

CCTV commentator Huang Jianxiang said: "The attitude of the Chinese team under Pep Guardiola's coaching is very obvious, and they competed with Argentina with the formed Tiki-Taka in the final, and at the same time ...... I have to say, Guardiola is really bold! The courage to put on this all-attack lineup in the final is commendable!! ”

Although Huang Jianxiang has a lot of confidence in the Chinese team with Iello, the football game has a certain amount of chance, coupled with the 7:1 slaughter of the host Brazil team in the semi-finals, it is inevitable that there will be a little bit of emptiness in his heart, thinking that the character of the Chinese team was lost in that big victory.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray also shared his concerns: "Pep Guardiola's choice was expected, but it really took courage to put in an all-attacking formation in the final! ”

"Yes, let's not talk about the final result, we all have to praise Guardiola, after all, the final is a game that cannot be lost for anyone, and it is really not easy to send a large number of attacking players in the final, I believe it...... This game is no longer as boring as the previous finals, I believe it will be more exciting!! ”

Former England international BBC commentator Lineker also gave his own comments: "Pep Guardiola's choice is surprising, but ...... This is the strongest Chinese team! Because they have the most powerful attacker in the world - Ai, I believe that as long as the forward players can grasp even one opportunity, the prospect of the Chinese team winning the championship will become clear! ”

……

The Argentine national TV commentator was unimpressed with the starting lineup of the Chinese team, and said lightly: "I have to say that the starting lineup of the Chinese team is surprising, and it is commendable to be able to send a full offensive lineup in the World Cup final!" But...... Don't forget, it's the final!! Therefore, the offensive and defensive lineup sent by Savilla is the most suitable! The big win over Brazil in the semi-finals was because they were lucky enough, in other words...... Their luck has run out in the semi-finals!! ”

The implication is that the team that wins the final must be Argentina.

But will the end result be like this?

Let's wait and see!

※※※

All 23 squad players from both sides of the final returned to their dressing rooms.

The Chinese team drew the home team the day before the game, so they were able to enjoy the extremely luxurious home team dressing room, which was equipped with all kinds of equipment.

The Chinese players who returned to the locker room did not move closer to manager Pep Guardiola at the first time, but walked to the bathroom to wash off the stinky sweat.

After the players took care of their personal matters, Guardiola clapped his hands and the players gathered around him, but he did not say anything about the game, but decompressed the players: "We won the Confederations Cup last year on Brazilian soil, and a year later we won all the games we could win on the same soil, and we beat the hosts Brazil 7-1 four days ago, so we have no reason to lose in the final, and at the same time...... I hope that all of you here can relax and just like Ai said yesterday, the championship is ours! It's just a matter of how much time...... And we are number one in the FIFA rankings. ”

“…… Please bow your noble head, look at the logo on your left chest, and then look at the national flag logo printed in the middle. Guardiola looked at the player's expression and added another fire: "At this time, you no longer represent yourself, but the whole country, thousands of miles away in China...... There are hundreds of millions of fans following this game, and there are tens of thousands of cute fans in the stadium stands cheering you on, regardless of personal gains and losses, so ...... Be sure to win! ”

At the same time, Argentina coach Savilla also fanned the emotions of the players: "We worked hard for this game for two years, from the World Cup qualifiers, to the difficult group stage, the knockout stage, and finally to the final, the process is very difficult, to be able to reach the final can be said to be our luck, but also our misfortune, because in the future career will we still reach the World Cup final, so ...... What we have to do is live in the moment! ”

Speaking of this, Savilla paused, turned his attention to captain Messi, and changed his voice: "Leao, if I'm not mistaken, you haven't been involved in the world footballer so far, right?" ”

Messi was slightly stunned, his brows tightened, and he nodded shamefully: "Yes, sir." ”

"Then do you want to beat the Chinese captain Ai to get this honor?" Savilla is like a weird uncle who abducts a child with a lollipop.

But this trick worked very well for Messi, and he said firmly: "Yes! ”

"Good!" Savilla did not continue to focus on Messi, but glanced at the other twenty-two players and said indifferently: "You guys...... Want to move to a better club and get a higher salary? ”

Who doesn't want to make a name for themselves? Who doesn't want a higher salary?

So the player's answer was very quick: "Yes!" ”

Saville looked at everyone, and her voice suddenly became louder, an octave higher: "Now you, you ...... You all have a chance, as long as you beat the Chinese team led by Ai in the next final, your goal will be perfectly achieved! ”

At this time, Savilla is like a demagogue, mobilizing everyone's emotions, including herself.

"!"

It has to be said that Savilla's ability to incite the players is very strong, he completely mobilizes the emotions of the players through simple words, and the players' responses are quite crisp and loud.

After mobilizing the emotions, it is naturally a technical and tactical explanation for the game.

In fact, before the start of the final, the team's technical and tactical play has been fixed, and the current explanation is more to deepen the impression of the players, so as to fully complete the tasks assigned by the head coach in the game.
