Chapter 665: Full of Faith

After the score was overtaken on the field, Messi and Riquelme seemed to have something happened suddenly, and the connection between them was suddenly broken, which also indirectly made the defense of the Chinese Olympic team simpler, and unexpectedly Riquelme re-established a single-line connection.

So much so that Messi, the person concerned, did not realize this possibility.

So when Riquelme passed the ball to him, he was instinctively stunned, which made him a little unprepared for the incoming ball, the ball was too far away, and the football was poked out of the sideline by Chen Tao from the back up.

At the same time, the defenders of the Chinese Olympic team thought it was just a very ordinary pass and did not pay too much attention to it.

However, the two then seemed to suddenly increase their connection with each other, Riquelme used his dribbling and passing to cheer Messi, and Messi also used his breakthrough ball to help Riquelme create space to pass the ball.

Suddenly, the offensive of the Argentine Olympic team came up.

Beat the back line of the Chinese Olympic team, a rough hand.

In the 83rd minute, Messi suddenly started to accelerate past Chen Tao who was like a stake on the right side of the attack, and then faced Zhao Xuri's defense with an accelerated change in rhythm to break through, which made the barrier in front of the central defender be broken through at once, and directly faced the central defender of the Chinese Olympic team.

This is an extremely dangerous signal.

Feng Xiaoting didn't dare to be careless, after he came out, it meant that there was a void behind him, he didn't allow Messi to break forward or pass the ball again, he had to leave one thing.

However, Messi, who was breaking through, suddenly knocked the ball back with his left heel and slammed it hard, and Feng Xiaoting, who was forward, could only subconsciously stagnate his speed, and his excellent defensive awareness made him realize that Messi's heel knock must be a very threatening pass.

"- Wonderful heel knock!" The Argentine national television commentator shouted fiercely.

Appearing in the camera is Riquelme, who did not dribble or shoot in the face of Messi's knocking football, but directly raised his right foot on his toe and sent the ball behind the out-of-position Feng Xiaoting.

Aguero suddenly accelerated from the front of Wan Houliang to Guò, like overtaking on a highway.

"- My !!"

At this moment, Wang Xiaolei appeared at the landing point of the football and picked it off before Aguero could get the ball.

Feng Xiaoting, who was out of position, exhaled a long breath and walked towards Wang Xiaolei who picked up the ball.

"Beautiful!"

"It's okay......"

The two men fisted to celebrate the success of the defense.

Aguero, who ran out of the space but did not receive the football, was very sorry, but he still turned and gave Riquelme a high thumbs up.

※※※

The Argentine Olympic team finally had such an embarrassing offensive opportunity, but Wang Xiaolei judged it in advance and took the ball off.

Batista shook his head with a wry smile on the sidelines, this opportunity just now was really good, but it's a pity......

Then he looked up at the time on the scoreboard, and it was already the 84th minute of the game, which meant that there were only five minutes left in regulation time, and eight minutes of injury time.

Time is running out for the team!

At the same time, Huang Jianxiang, a CCTV commentator in the live studio, said excitedly: "The game has reached the 84th and a half minutes of the game, which means that the time left for the Argentine Olympic team is only five minutes!" Once...... The last thing we want to hear is 'There is not much time left for the Chinese team!' 'Now...... But he can stand in front of the Argentine Olympic team with his head held high and say a word - there is not much time left for Argentina! ”

Listening to the passionate commentary, the domestic fans who watched the live TV broadcast were also excited, and the sentence 'There is not much time left for the Chinese team' can be said to be the eternal pain of Chinese football! However, now that feng shui is taking turns, leaving this sentence of 'time is running out' to the opponent, it really makes people have a feeling of raising their eyebrows!

The camera returned to the stadium, and the Argentine Olympic team did not suffer a blow because of the exquisite cooperation just now that Wang Xiaolei took it off, but once again looked for loopholes in the defense of the Chinese Olympic team.

After all, there is still time in the game, which means that they still have a chance to equalize the score.

After surviving the attack of the Chinese Olympic team, the Argentine Olympic team slowly moved forward with the ball, while the players of the Chinese Olympic team quickly returned to their own half to defend.

For them right now, defense is the most important thing.

According to the overall strength comparison of the two sides in the semifinals, the Argentine Olympic team is still more dominant, and being able to reverse the Argentine Olympic team in the second half can only be said to be Ailo's personal credit.

The only contribution to the overall is the defense.

Gago, who held the ball, quickly passed the ball to the feet of Messi, who pulled to the left side of the attack, who took a few steps forward and found that there was no good chance, so he protected the ball sideways and passed the ball to Riquelme, who organized the attack.

Today's Messi does not have the super breakthrough ability of later generations, so it is more necessary to need a midfield organizer to organize the attack.

When the football passed to Riquelme, Zhao Xuri followed the lateral movement and stood about one and a half meters in front of Riquelme, which is a very safe defensive position, which can effectively control the space in the middle, and also effectively limit Riquelme's passing route to the middle.

Messi saw that there were not many opportunities to attack on the left, so he ran back, bypassed behind Riquelme, and prepared to go to the right to look for opportunities to cut inside, after all, only crosses are suitable on the left, and only on the right is suitable for cutting inside to hit the goal.

However, when Messi just bypassed Riquelme's side, the latter passed the ball on his forward path, and Zhao Xuri had to move in front of Messi again, but the latter did not choose to break through with the ball, but passed the ball back to Riquelme with the arch of his right foot.

Zhao Xuri had no choice, so he spared back to defend Riquelme.

In this way, the Argentine Olympic team is like a leader, holding the football to pass around in the half of the Chinese Olympic team, that is, it does not send it to the densely populated middle, and tries to use the width of the stadium as much as possible.

After a few back and forths, the football came to Messi's feet again.

This time Zhao Xuri did not blindly rush over, he stood firmly in the middle of the 30-meter defensive area of his side, he is the only back of the team, and the opposing players can not leave the position to do special defense when they enter the 30-meter defensive area, and can only be recycled by two wingers to the ribs to participate in the defense.

However, due to the counterattacking characteristics of Aillo, the defense of the left rib of this side is Gao Lin to participate.

Messi passed Gao Lin, who was not good at defense, with a simple upper body shake, and continued to move forward.

Zheng Zhi had already prepared, he knew Gao Lin's defensive ability, and he would be stuck on Messi's inward route as soon as possible, at this time, left back Sun Xiang also recycled to the corner of the penalty area to prevent Messi from passing Zheng Zhi and then going straight into the penalty area.

Messi suddenly stagnated, pulled the ball to the right with his left foot, turned his body to the right side of his attack, and directly wanted to pass the ball to the wingback Zabaleta who was pressed on the sideline.

Sun Xiang had to pull out to defend Zabaleta.

While Argentina don't have many flanking spots in the middle and don't have enough height, who can guarantee that Zabaleta won't deliver a subtle overhead cross unmarked?

Zheng Zhi also consciously moved to the side, but Zabaleta's feint of accelerating forward caused Sun Xiang and Zheng Zhi's body center of gravity to shift.

Zabaleta, who had the ball, knocked the ball back to Messi.

This time, Messi did not pass the ball again, but suddenly broke through to the inside, and Zhao Xuri, who was guarding the middle, had to step forward to defend Messi who cut inside.

Messi suddenly buckled the ball to the right with the arch of his left foot before Zhao Xuri made a defensive move, and the outside of his right foot took the ball to the right, dodging Zheng Zhi who turned back to defend to intercept, and then continued to start on the spot, making the illusion of breaking through to the bottom line, Zheng Zhi and Sun Xiang followed and turned around.

At this time, the short Messi has a great advantage, when Zheng Zhi and Sun Xiang made a turning action, his right foot arch buckled the ball to the left side of the body, Zheng Zhi had to forcibly twist the center of gravity of the body again to move to the right side to defend Messi, but what he didn't expect was that Messi violently buckled the ball back with his left foot, all he could do was subconsciously stretch his left leg to destroy the ball, but Messi's touch rate was faster, and the outside of his right foot was flicked lightly, and it passed.

Zheng Zhi also kicked on the supporting foot behind Messi because of his slow kick.

Then, the referee's whistle sounded.

The Argentine Olympic team won a free kick about 23 meters from the goal, almost at a 90-degree right angle to the right post, which is more suitable for left-footed players.

Zheng Zhi has no way to break through with the ball for Messi, if he doesn't kick Messi down just now, then he will break directly into the penalty area, which will be even more troublesome.

"In the 88th minute, the Argentine Olympic team won a free-kick in a good position, which is not good news for the Chinese Olympic team, Riquelme has the ability to score directly from this distance," Huang Jianxiang's voice was full ......of worry.

At the same time, Messi, who got up from the turf, put the ball on the foul spot and looked up just in time to see Riquelme coming over, he hesitated for half a second, and then said to the latter: "Roman, I want to give it a try......"

Riquelme was stunned when he heard this, according to Batista's pre-match requirements, all the team's set-pieces should be punished by themselves, and Messi wanted the right to take free kicks at the last moment, what does it mean?

"I'm sure!" Messi looked at Riquelme, who was frowning, and said with his mouth covered again.

"Are you sure?"

Messi nodded very firmly.

Riquelme glanced at Messi, as if he saw his young self, with strength and confidence, plus ...... He also won the opportunity for a free-kick this time, and it was no problem to give him a penalty.

It's just that there will be no next time when the time comes, otherwise your core position will inevitably be threatened!

"Okay, then I'll cover you ......"
