Chapter 1222: A Red Lightning

China made the second substitution of the game before stoppage time, and Argentina coach Savilla could only stare dryly, because the trend of the game was in the direction of extra time, and he did not dare to make a third adjustment now.

At the end of the day, it's a conservative mistake.

Wu Lei replaced Huang Bowen, which surprised and even puzzled many football experts.

The commentator of Argentine national television scoffed: "Does Josep Guardiola really think of himself as the god of coaching? I'll admit he was very successful in his previous adjustments, but this one was ...... I give 59 points! ”

However, when they saw the latest position of the Chinese team's formation, they had a certain understanding.

The positions of Ailuo, Gao Lin and Chen Tao have not changed, Hao Junmin, who made a cameo from the right winger to the right fullback, replaced Huang Bowen's position, partnered with Wu Xi in the back, and Wu Lei, who replaced Huang Bowen, played the original right back with Hao Junmin's cameo, and the other positions remained the same.

After reading the position of the players given by the broadcaster, then the question comes.

Can Hao Junmin perform well in the midfield position? Wu Lei, who has always been active in right wing, second striker and right midfield, can he play well in the right-back position that he is not familiar with?

The answer, of course, is yes.

Hao Junmin not only tried right wing-back at Schalke 04, but also tried at the back during Magath's time, and his biggest characteristic is his ability to read the game and adapt well, and he can play a good role in every position.

Wu Lei also played the full-back position at Paris Saint-Germain, but Guardiola asked him to play this position not to let him defend.

That's right, it's for the offense!

Wu Lei's speed is very fast, and he has just come on the field, he is physically fit, and there is no problem with his round-trip ability.

Captain Iroh is accustomed to moving on the left side, and in the process of switching from defense to attack, he can completely form two wings to fly together, and the three-dimensional attack is richer and more layered.

Defence, of course, Pep Guardiola has also taken it into account.

Once Wu Lei presses forward, the two backs must stay behind, and the offense is handed over to Ailuo, Gao Lin, Chen Tao and Wu Lei.

This is true in theory, but what about in practice?

So a lot of the commentators were skeptical, and Savilla was the same.

Savilla, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at Wu Lei thoughtfully, then the corners of his mouth rose, and he muttered: "Josep, since you are looking for death, then I will fulfill you!" ”

Immediately, he passed on the latest tactical deployment to the other players through Mascherano - finding a breakthrough from the right side of the Chinese team's defense.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Messi moved to the left flank to implement the latest tactics laid out by the manager.

Pep Guardiola looked at Savilla meaningfully and said softly: "Looking for a breakthrough from the right side of our defense? But what I want to say is...... It's just a problem that I deliberately exposed! ”

But it's worth mentioning that Guardiola is still a little nervous.

After all, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

Fortunately, Wu Lei has a good defensive position, and after he came on the field, he also strictly abided by the tactical requirements of head coach Pep Guardiola, did not make his feet easily, and put the outside line instead of the inside line.

Coupled with Hao Junmin and Zhang Linpeng's assistance defense and fill-in, even if he is facing Messi who is in good shape, although he is not comfortable defending, at least it is not very difficult.

Messi's impact did not have any effect, and Lavic, who replaced Di Maria in the second half, also came to try, but the effect was also not good, but he was almost killed by a quick counterattack by the Chinese team.

※※※

Savilla stood on the sidelines with a frown, originally he thought that Wu Lei's appearance would be a stupid move by Guardiola to change the formation, but in terms of effect, it was a very successful tactical adjustment.

How?

Is it really going to be overtime?

There is indeed overtime for the pre-match record, and it even extends to the penalty shootout, and the preparation for the past few days has also practiced penalty kicks, but the penalty shootout is too thrilling, and there are many factors that affect the outcome of the game.

He really didn't want to drag the game into a penalty shoot-out if he didn't have to, and if he had a choice, he wanted 90 minutes to be over.

"Whoa!"

At that moment, a tsunami of cheers erupted over the Maracanã Stadium.

Savilla subconsciously looked up at the pitch, and Rojo fell to the ground to pass the ball to Mascherano, who pulled out the vacant position, and then got up to accelerate.

The camera goes back to three seconds ago.

Wu Lei set it at high speed along the side, Chen Tao made a slight adjustment after getting the ball, and the result was that the power was small, but Wu Lei didn't want to miss this opportunity, and the frequency at his feet was increased to the maximum.

However, Rojo's speed was not slow, and the defensive action was reasonable and standardized, a decisive sliding tackle on the ground, intercepting the running path of the football.

Wu Lei was in self-protection and jumped up instinctively.

The next scene is when Rojo passes the ball to Mascherano as he goes down, who turns and passes it to Messi, who is back to the center of the circle.

"- Leo Messi!" The voice of the Argentine national TV commentator suddenly rose an octave and shouted: "Pass him, pass him, kill the Chinese team!" ”

Messi turned around under the chanting of the Argentine fans at the scene, and the whole action was done in one go, and very quickly.

Chen Tao, who was about to foul, only caught a cloud of air, Messi accelerated the ball to the defensive half of the Chinese team, Wu Xi fell to the ground in the Chinese team's half-circle arc, Messi killed the rise, kicked the ground with his right foot on the toe, poked the ball forward with his left foot, and then jumped over Wu Xi who fell to the ground.

Coupled with Ravic and Aguero who were inserted at high speed on the left and right, the front court instantly formed a three-on-four.

“Oh-My-God!”

"Whoa!!"

"Rush, Leo!!"

The stands where the Argentine fans were standing erupted in a sea of loud cheers, and the frenzied final atmosphere at the Maracanã Stadium grew in vain.

At the same time, the Argentine players in front of the bench suddenly stood up from their seats and looked at Messi who was galloping, and countless Argentines were looking forward to it.

Savilla's eyes were also fixed on Messi, his fists instinctively clenched, and he subconsciously frowned, looking very nervous.

In front of the bench of the Chinese team, it was a different scene, most of them were hesitant, but more of them were dumbfounded, afraid of the next result.

Head coach Pep Guardiola stood in the technical command area, listening to the loud sound from the stands, and his brain was a little clouded.

After a short period of consternation, the commentator Huang Jianxiang looked at Messi in the camera and exclaimed: "―Danger!!" ”

However, at this time, no one noticed that on this green field, a red lightning bolt swept at high speed, approaching Messi who was moving forward.
