94: The momentum of the defending champions!
"I said Brother Zhong, the popularity of the Argentine team is really terrifying, you can watch a friendly match is full! If we hadn't gone through the back door, I guess we wouldn't have been able to get this ticket. "On June 2, German time, at the World Cup stadium in Hamburg, defending champions Argentina will play their penultimate friendly before the World Cup today.
Their opponent is Slovenia from Europe.
Before the start of the game, on the sidelines of the World Cup stadium in Hamburg, a young Chinese guy with a camera looked at Zhong Dajun, a legend in the Chinese journalist circle.
"Of course! Let's not talk about the influence of the Argentine team in our country, Leonville alone is enough to attract so many fans to watch this game. Zhong Dajun was also envious.
"Eh, Brother Zhong, come on, you see, the Argentine team has warmed up!"
Powerful doesn't have to be on your own.
As the first favorite recognized by 67 European bookmakers in this World Cup, the players of the Argentine team stepped on the World Cup stadium in Hamburg, and the whole stadium instantly erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
In contrast, the Slovenian "[***] Silk Team" seems to be unnoticed, and no journalists other than their own domestic journalists are willing to go over and film their training.
"Argentina! Argentina! Argentina! ”
"We will win! We will win! We will win! ”
The enthusiastic fans of the Pampas meadow made the entire Hamburg World Cup stadium boil with their cheers, applause, shouts, singing and cheers.
After returning to the national team, Leon wore back his No. 15 jersey, which has become the number of the national team jersey that many children love nowadays.
Like David Silva, the core of the recently debuted Spanish youth team, he wears the number 15, and the rising Aguero in Argentina is also wearing the number 15 jersey in the Argentine U17 youth team, and more and more young people will no longer choose the number ten, nine, and seven as their favorite numbers.
It's like before Jordan, No. 23 actually didn't have much special significance, but after Jordan, No. 23 was no longer great. Many times, when people are playing on the street basketball court, if a guy wearing a number 23 suddenly pops up, they will definitely pay special attention to him.
Sometimes, the jersey number is a number in the eyes of some, but for many, each number has its own story and countless legends.
…… With the end of the Argentine team's pre-game warm-up, Bielsa also quickly announced the starting squad of the Argentine team today, and it is true to give the substitutes more opportunities, but the main team also needs to run in, so in the first half, Bielsa left the game to the main team.
And in the second half, all the players except Leonwill will rotate.
Argentina and Slovenia discussed before the game that there will be ten substitutions for the two teams in this game, and in this friendly match, the substitution limit is negotiated with each other, six, seven, and eight players...... In the first half of the game, the eleven selected by Bielsa were basically the starting eleven of the Argentine team in this World Cup.
Up front, Crespo partnered Tevez, Maxi Rodriguez on the left and Luis Gonzalez on the right, and the two midfielders were captain Leonville and Cambiaso.
At the back, Zanetti is the team's right-back, the left-back is Milito, and the two central defenders are Ayala and Samuel, the goalkeeper, which is the most unsuspenseful in the Argentine team, Abondancelli indisputably appeared in the goalkeeper position.
Argentina's starting lineup has been running in for almost two years, although compared to the World Cup four years ago, this starting lineup does not seem to have so many superstars, but this starting lineup is quite stable.
When Leon Will was the first to walk out of the players' tunnel wearing the captain's armband of the national team, the atmosphere of the Hamburg World Cup reached **!
"King of the World! King of the World! King of the World! King of the World!! ”
On León's path to becoming a new generation of football kings, he is only one World Cup away from a World Cup that truly belongs to him.
"Popularity is popularity! Comparisons are odious! The little fat man Tevez pouted and said that although the starting striker of Inter Milan is also very popular, the gap between him and Leon is known by Bibi jersey sales.
You know, León's Argentina jersey sales are equal to the total jersey sales of other Argentine players.
Gap, what is a gap?
That's why many people call this Argentine team: Leonwell's one-man national team.
Against Slovenia, the Argentine stars played quite relaxed, and after the start of this friendly match, Leon and Camby firmly controlled the rhythm and direction of the game for the Argentine team.
What the former golden partner of River Plate and Inter Milan's strongest central axis has shown in Hamburg is their consistency and unbeatability.
You must know that in the Champions League final, Barcelona's talented midfielders have nothing to do with León and Cambiaso.
Their combination was too tacit, and combined with Leon's superb ball control skills, the Slovenian team retreated after the start of the game.
As a team from Europe, Slovenia have a strong characteristic, they have a similar style to Serbia and Montenegro, the players have good skills on their feet, and they are also very physical.
It's just that in Europe, where there are no weak brigades, it is too difficult to break through.
Speaking of Serbia and Montenegro, I have to mention that they were the most favored spoiler team in this World Cup, because Serbia and Montenegro with the big 4 defenders such as Vidic used a stronger defense than the Italian team to squeeze the king of the qualifiers Spain to play in the play-offs in the European qualifiers.
If it weren't for the turmoil in the country and the division of Serbia and Montenegro, Serbia and Montenegro would never have played so badly in this World Cup.
Of course, at this time, in addition to Leon knowing that Serbia and Montenegro would be absolutely 100% demoralized, the coaching staff of the Argentine team prepared a warm-up team with a similar style to Serbia and Montenegro in order to avoid Serbia and Montenegro from playing at a high level.
The biggest difference between the national team and the club is that the national team is a little more conservative, and of course there are many games that are very open, but after all, they are a minority.
Although it did not get the right to participate in the World Cup, Slovenia's sparring partner still played very seriously, so after the game started, the Argentine team really had no way to take Slovenia except for occupying the initiative on the field.
The tall Slovenian defender can easily keep an eye on Crespo, the only center forward on the field, and Tevez's strength is not cheap, which makes the Argentine team's attack a bit stagnant as soon as it arrives in the frontcourt.
In fact, Leon didn't know that Slovenia played so seriously and had a lot to do with him. Because he's so famous, King of the World, who wouldn't want to compete with the best ball team in the world? People are competitive and competitive, so ah, because of Leon's fame, Slovenia is definitely showing their housekeeping skills.
This kind of opponent is a good warm-up opponent.
However, it turned out that Slovenia's level of defense could not stop the defending champions' monstrous momentum!
In the twenty-seventh minute of the first half, the attack of the Argentine team came!
After stopping the ball with his right foot in the middle of the midfield, the noble son Leon suddenly took the opportunity to go forward and dribble past the Slovenian back who stepped forward to pounce, and then he continued to move forward with the ball, and the Argentine team pressed on all four ways, and Leon handed the ball to Maxi Rodriguez on the left!
Rodriguez took a few steps forward with the ball and suddenly passed the ball back to the middle, Cambiaso, who followed up in the middle, stopped the ball with his heel to Leon, and the noble son who followed up wanted to volley directly outside the penalty area, and Leon's fake shot really shook off the two excited Slovenian players!
"Leonville! Kick again!!! ”
Unmarked, Leon's right foot slammed into the ball!
This time, the Slovenian defenders didn't have a chance to block the gun's eye!
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!”
"One to zero! Argentina took the lead! Leonwill took the lead for Argentina and it was a long-range shot from outside the box! ”
After the goal, León threw a wink at Camby, and the Argentine team finally showed their mercury-like attack after more than 20 minutes of silence!
After scoring the first goal, Slovenia couldn't stop Argentina...... Maxi Rodriguez and Luis Gonzalez began to come alive after receiving the assistance of two full-backs, Milito and Zanetti, and with the successive insertions of Cambiasso and León in the middle of the midfield, the multi-point flowering of the Argentine team made the Slovenian team look a little careless.
Soon, Argentina scored the second goal!
The second goal came from Crespo, and as Argentina opened up space on the pitch, the world-class centre-forward began to show his quality.
In the 39th minute of the first half, Luis Gonzalez broke through and crossed the ball across the middle, Leon missed in front of the goal, and Tevez at the back post followed up with a clever little through ball...... Crespo crossed the knife in the penalty area and immediately did not stop the ball and volleyed directly!
Two to zero!
At the World Cup stadium in Hamburg, the fans of the Argentine team have already begun to revel.
"This aura is too powerful! The aura of the defending champion is TM's different! On the side of the court, Zhong Dajun, a reporter from China, couldn't help but sigh.
