Finally, the clock came to 20:45!

In this Confederations Cup final, the two teams of Argentina and England walked out of the players' tunnel at Eintracht Forest side by side!

In the stands, the fans at the scene erupted in loud cheers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The players have come out and the game is about to start, so let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides......

'England continued the same formation from the previous game. The goalkeeper is still James, a veteran goalkeeper who made mistakes against Mexico. But most of the other time it's reassuring. Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry and Ashley Cole lined up at the back! ”

'In midfield, Eriksen continued with the four-man midfield configuration from the previous game. Captain David Beckham is still on the right flank, and Hargreaves is behind in the middle, and he will shoulder the responsibility of guarding the Argentine core Riquelme! The other central midfielder is Frank Lampard. Gerrard was again on the left. ”

"England made a slight change up front, Edison was on the front line again, but he was partnered with Fat Rooney! Clearly, Eriksen is eyeing the shortcomings of the Argentine team's short backline. Hoping to threaten their goal with the impact of these two strikers......"

"As for the Argentine team, they put out a three-four-one-two formation. In the goalkeeper position is Frango from Atletico Madrid. The three centre-backs at the back, from left to right, are Heinze, Colocini and Demichelis. Rock Samuel missed the final because he received his second yellow card of the tournament in the semi-final against Brazil in the last game, which obviously had a big impact on the Argentine backline! ”

'In front of the backline were four midfielders. Zanetti and Sorin split the flanks, with Cambiasso and Bernardi in the middle. Zanetti and Sorin play as wing-backs when attacking, while dropping back to full-back when defending. Therefore, when defending, the formation of the Argentine team can also be regarded as a five-three-two formation, which is not difficult to see that the coach of the Argentine team, Pekerman, is cautious about this final. ”

"In front of him in midfield is Riquelme, who is the midfielder and the heart of the team. He is the midfield engine of Argentina in this tournament and his own long-range shots and free-kicks are also very threatening. There is no doubt that he will be the most important thing for England today! ”

"Argentina up front is also full of talent, but Saviola's injury in the last game saw him miss the final. Appearing up front for Argentina is a combination of Carlos Tevez and Cruz. ”

…… While the commentator was introducing the starting lineups of the two teams, a series of ceremonies were also carried out on the field.

In Argentina's starting lineup, there are three players who are Chen Xi's club teammates.

When everyone was in the players' tunnel, they were all greeted warmly.

But as soon as they walked out of the players' tunnel, everyone became opponents on the field, and they were opponents of two sworn enemies!

…… Honk!

With the whistle of Slovakian referee Michel, the much-anticipated Confederations Cup final is just starting!

Due to the long-term hostile relationship between the two sides, after the game began, the two sides hardly had any temptation, and they fought directly with real guns!

The first threatening attack on the field was spearheaded by Riquelme, the core of the Argentine midfield!

After winning the ball in the 40-metre area of goal, he fired a direct ball over the top into the England penalty area.

The beast Tevez cut into the box at high speed, and when he was about to catch up with the ball to complete the shot, Terry slid the ball first and poked it out of the line.

Tevez was also brought down in the box by Terry.

The Argentine fans in the stands erupted in a loud boo, as if to pressure the referee for a penalty.

However, the referee on duty Michel saw it very clearly, he just signaled the game to continue!

England's attack was then unthreatening, as Frank Lampard's through ball was too obvious and was comfortably denied by Argentina centre-back Coloccini.

After Coloccini broke the ball, he distributed the ball to Sorin, who retreated from the left.

This time, however, his passing was a bit careless and was spotted by Wayne Rooney from just outside the box.

Xiaopang accelerated, directly cut off Coloccini's pass, and rushed into the Argentine team's penalty area!

"Beautiful! Wayne Rooney got the ball up front and he burst into the box, which was a great opportunity! ”

Seeing Rooney burst into the penalty area directly from the corner of the penalty area on the right, Heinze and Colocini both rushed towards Rooney nervously.

Attracting the bag of two central defenders, Rooney was not greedy, he directly knocked the ball across to the penalty spot!

Chen Xi, who had just inserted into the penalty area when Lampard was plugging through, just retreated outside the penalty area, and then saw Rooney break the ball, and then inserted it into the box again.

In the face of this extremely comfortable pass, Chen Xi did not hesitate, and directly faced the incoming ball with a sweeping shot with his right foot!

Chen Xi's kick was powerful and heavy, and it almost flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal!

Argentina's goalkeeper Frango didn't expect the team to concede the ball at the back, and Chen Xi's shooting power was so great and the angle was so tricky. Therefore, he barely had time to make a symbolic save move!

The ball slammed into the net behind him!

“what~a~gooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！ Edison! Edison! Edison!!! Just under five minutes into the game, England's first shot on goal was the !! Of course, a large part of the credit for this goal should be credited to Rooney who broke the ball in front! England got off to a fantastic start! Edison also scored in double figures in the Confederations Cup...... "Paul Mortenson let out a loud roar the moment the ball flew into the goal!"

The England fans in the stands also erupted in surprise cheers!

They obviously didn't expect the team to score so early!

On the sidelines!

Eriksen obviously didn't expect his team to take the lead so smoothly and so quickly.

So, he was just as pleasantly surprised as the fans in the stands!

On the field!

After the goal, Chen Xi did not celebrate alone, but rushed to Rooney, who passed the ball for him.

"Well done, Wayne!" Chen Xi gave Rooney a hug and said.

"Haha, you used to pass the ball to me, and this time I will also give you an assist!" Chubby Rooney replied with a smile.

Soon, the two men were surrounded by their teammates in the center.

At this time, the Argentines did not seem to have come to their senses. They could never have imagined that the game would start in such a way.

Coloccini, who had just made a passing error, looked ashamed and kept apologizing to his teammates.

Pekerman, who was on the sidelines, was pale, and in his opinion, such a conceded goal was too undeserved.

…… After the England team celebrated, the game resumed!

The Argentine team, which was behind the score, launched a counterattack directly after the kick-off.

In the ninth minute, Tevez dropped back to pick up the ball outside the box and after attracting the defence, he knocked the ball across to Riquelme before slotting it into the box at high speed.

Riquelme also cleverly tucked into the box and the ball tore through the England backline.

Fortunately, James in front of goal reacted quickly, and he made a timely junior to get the ball into his arms before Tevez could get it.

Three minutes later, Argentina made a comeback.

Riquelme suddenly pulled up to the left, his dribbling looked nonchalant and slowly advancing. But Gary Neville didn't dare to underestimate anything.

Sure enough, after taking a few steps, Riquelme suddenly started and used a feint to shake Gary Neville's defense and kill towards the penalty area!

Before Hargreaves could make up for it, Riquelme slotted the ball wide to the penalty spot.

This is almost a replica of England's attack just now, and this time Argentina's striker Cruise is also in that position.

It's a pity that the goalscorer who is known for his efficiency at Inter Milan wasted such an opportunity under Ferdinand's interference, and he blasted the ball into the stands!

"Wow~~~ Oh my God! It's unbelievable that Cruise had missed such an opportunity! ”

The Argentine fans in the stands also erupted in a sigh!

Cruise, who missed the opportunity, hugged his head in disbelief, as if he didn't believe that he would miss such a good opportunity!

In the case of consecutive threatening attacks by the Argentine team, the England team did not stop their own attack.

In the eighteenth minute, David Beckham made a break down the right and made a cross!

Chen Xi still completed an excellent quality header under the close defense of Coloccini.

However, Frango, who had no reaction to Chen Xi's shot last time, saved his header from the bottom line this time!

This really made the English fans in the stands regretful!

From the following corner, Beckham's corner also gave John Terry another header.

It's just that this time Terry couldn't hold the ball down and put the ball headlong into the stands!

Four minutes later, Argentina captain Sorin also sent in a cross after receiving Riquelme's through ball on the left!

Cruise also had a header, but the ball was deflected wide by him!

It wasn't long before the ball found another way into the England penalty area.

After receiving Riquelme's pass, Tevez faced Ferdinand's close defense, still after continuous shaking, shook off an angle, and then shot low with his right foot!

It's a pity that his shot angle is a little positive, and he is taken into the arms of James who is in an excellent position!

A little more than half an hour into the first half, Gerrard on the left suddenly came with a powerful long-range shot after cutting inside!

Even when he was 30 metres from goal, Gerrard's long-range shot sent the Argentines out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the ball ended up grazing the far post and went wide!

The two teams on the field have been back and forth, and the atmosphere on the field has hardly been cool.

This also made the fans at the scene and in front of the TV watch the blood boiling.

However, the Eintracht Frankfurt Forest goal appeared to have been closed for both sides after the opening goal.

In the next half hour of attack, both teams created a lot of chances, but they couldn't change the score.

Before you know it, the game is in the last ten minutes of the first half.

After fighting for more than half an hour, the players on both sides still seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and the attacks of both sides still did not stop.

In the 37th minute, Zanetti used his speed on the right to force a break through Ashley Cole's defence, and then sent a return pass towards the edge of the box!

Riquelme was in that position, and his pass to Zanetti was a powerful shot!

Terry appeared in Riquelme's path and subconsciously blocked it with his leg.

This time it did not block the ball out of the box, but caused the ball to be refrited, and the shot that was originally drilled into the near corner of the goal flew towards the far corner.

At this time, he couldn't get rid of the constraints of Newton's laws, and he couldn't immediately retract his center of gravity and pounce towards the far corner, but could only look back at the ball and pray that he wouldn't fly into the goal!

Perhaps James's prayers had an effect, and the refracted ball eventually deflected out of the goal with a strange arc!

Even so, the England fans in the stands let out an exclamation!

Riquelme shook his head helplessly, as if lamenting his bad luck.

God quickly proved that He was not partial.

In a subsequent attack by England, they almost created a fatal chance!

Chen Xi pulled to the left and received Gerrard's pass, then turned and burst into the penalty area.

When he dribbled the ball to the left rib position of the Argentine team's penalty area, in the face of Demichelis and Coloccini's sandwich, Chen Xi suddenly stabbed the far corner with his left foot!

Frango didn't have time to make a save, he just subconsciously stretched his leg to block it.

His leg extension still had an effect, and the ball hit his foot slightly backwards, directly on the outside of the far post, and deflected off the line!

"Wow~~~~ Edison's sudden cold arrow almost broke through the door of the Argentine team again! Only this time his shot was denied by the post! Paul Model Sen said with regret.

The England fans in the stands let out a sigh of regret.

The first 45 minutes of the first half flew by in a fast-paced battle between the two sides, until the referee on duty, Michel, blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The fans at the scene and in front of the TV suddenly realized that the first half was actually over like this.

England also entered the dressing room with a 1-0 lead.

In the dressing room, Eriksen put on a first-half performance.

However, he did not forget to tell the players to continue to strengthen the defense of Riquelme in the second half.

Because he found that even though Hargreaves was sent to defend Riquelme closely, he still delivered a number of dangerous assists!

In attack, he also encouraged the two full-backs to actively insert assists, trying to suppress Argentina's two full-backs at the back, so that Argentina's wide attack will be suppressed. A purely defensive midfield will be relatively simple.

When Erickson was arranging tactics, Chen Xi was also discussing something with Rooney, who was sitting next to him.

Chen Xi's suggestion is that if the two have the opportunity, the two can play some small cooperation in the penalty area.

Because he knows that the Argentine team is very afraid of the England team's high-altitude balls due to their height. In this way, they will also be highly focused on the defense of the high ball. As a result, they will ignore the ground cooperation that they are not afraid of!

It can be said that this is Chen Xi's reverse thinking.

Although Rooney is good-looking, his skills are still good among English players. And, too, has a good pass.

Chen Xi knew that if there was a chance, the two would be able to play a wonderful cooperation.

Rooney admired Chen Xi very much, so he also obeyed his words.

…… Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

In the second half, as Michel blew the whistle for the start of the game again, the game entered another 45-minute battle!

At half-time, neither side made any changes to their line-ups.

At the beginning of the second half, the Argentine team put on an aggressive posture.

Zanetti and Sorin on the flanks often press up front.

In the 52nd minute, Zanetti completed the break on the right side of the field.

After breaking the ball, Zanetti did not break through to the bottom line again, but went to the middle.

After taking two steps to the middle, Zanetti picked up his right foot and fired a powerful long-range shot from 30 meters away!

Although Inter Milan is more often in the role of right-back, Zanetti is actually very well-rounded. Not only is he good at assisting, but he also has a certain accomplishment in long-range shooting!

This time, his long-range shot was of the highest quality, and even if it was far from goal, it was still a powerful flight towards the far corner of the England goal!

James in front of the goal also made a side-saving swoop for the first time!

However, even though he fully spread his body in the air, he still couldn't catch the ball!

This couldn't help but surprise him!

The English fans in the stands are also nervous, and even, some timid fans have closed their eyes!

However, at this time, the ball in the air was a joke with the expectant Argentine fans!

The ball, which had been flying almost in a straight line before, suddenly "turned" in front of the goal!

As a result, the ball that was originally flying straight to the far corner of the goal ended up hitting the outside of the post and popping up on the bottom line!
