122: Leon's Expectation

Knocking out Mexico 3-0, the defending champions Argentina once again shook the world with their passion.

...... "No, the French team is going to reverse the rhythm!" ”

"Why is it that the Spanish team is kicking and kicking and suddenly there is no rhythm before?"

"I can't understand it, I really can't understand it!"

The Argentine players were watching the match between France and Spain at the end of the second day of the match against Mexico in the hotel where the Argentine team stayed.

Spain, the other team to play youngsters at the World Cup, have a number of young players in their squad, and compared to them, France are the oldest team in the tournament, and the 98-title team faltered in the group stage before finally finding their sense of progression in the final round. Spain, on the other hand, won three of their three group games and are one of the favourites to win the tournament.

The game started as expected, with the young Spanish quickly overwhelming the aging French side, who were awarded a penalty kick from the start of the game and David Villa converted the lead to give Spain.

However, after the Spanish team took the lead, their opening ferocity was lost, because the old man of the Gallic Rooster finally turned its four wheels under the control of Zidane, the top master of world football.

Unlike the Spanish team's brand-new Ferrari sports car, the French team was a manual pickup truck, but it was this classic car that was brought to life under Zinedine Zidane's leadership.

Makelele and Vieira, two of the world's four big midfielders - one controlled the entire midfield with his crazy running, and the other used his interceptions and assists to show the world the state of the former Arsenal core!

After Claude Makelele and Patrick Vieira stabilized the midfield for France, Zinedine Zidane finally had room to manage the team again, and the young Ribery played the role of Djokaeff in '98, a catfish in the front of France. The Blade fighter has a sharp break and a relentless run, and with his tandem, the French team's attack quickly comes alive.

And Thierry Henry, the king of Highbury, swept away the decline of four years ago, and every time he took the ball, he made the Spanish fans in the stands tremble!

Where is this the French team that drew with Switzerland and South Korea in the group stage! This is the all-powerful French team of 98-00!

Sagnol and Abidal took turns to assist, and the two young wings of the Spanish team were quickly suppressed back!

Physicality has always been a disadvantage for Spain, but today, the French team made the most of their physical advantages, their physical advantages in every position are very obvious, and their speed is actually faster than the Spanish team!

Zinedine Zidane has finally regained his youthful feeling, and this is just the beginning of the legend of the World Cup for the legendary artistic baton of world football!

As the former first person in world football transfer value, Zidane is a wonder in world football, because he is still improving after the age of 30, and today, Zidane is completely in his own state...... Just before half-time, the Frenchman took the lead when Zinedine Zidane's set-piece and Patrick Vieira's header equalised for France...... Fifteen minutes after the break, just when it was thought that France's first-half performance was a flash in the pan, Patrick Vieira opened the door for France with his second goal!

It was the same goal as his first goal of the first half, and the world number one defender seemed to be telling the young Spaniard Cesc Fabregas, who had squeezed him out: "Boy, you are still tender!"

The Frenchman's tempo was in full swing, their defence was impregnable, Thuram and Galla made it difficult for the Spaniards to get through, and the golden boys Torres and Hulu Wavilla completely lost their sense of scoring...... In León's previous World Cup in '06, France and Italy were arguably the two best defensive teams, one team had two world-class midfielders, and the other had a world-class backline...... The league relies on attack, the cup depends on defense, this sentence is indeed a classic proverb in world football.

Before full-time, Zinedine Zidane scored his first goal of the tournament, which was a counter-attack by France, with Claude Makellele's break, Vieira's through ball, and Zizou after the goal seemed to tell the world that my retirement would need to be delayed for a while............ "What a surprise!" The French team actually advanced to the quarterfinals! ”

"Anyway, I didn't expect it, I'm quite optimistic about this Spanish team."

"I think the Spanish team is above the French team in terms of technology and speed, but today's French team has turned the advantage of the Spanish team into their disadvantage, and today the French team is far superior to this Spain team in terms of technology and speed."

"I think this French team is going to be amazing......"

After watching the match between France and Spain, the Argentine players chose to go to sleep, and they did not choose to continue to watch the match between Brazil and Ghana, because almost all the Argentine players felt that Brazil would definitely beat Ghana.

Looking at Zidane, who celebrated the victory with his teammates in front of the TV, Leon also smiled: Before the final, don't let history change, Zidan.

For Leon, Zidane and Figo are the two teachers who have enlightened him, and when Leon debuted, he only relied on his understanding of football in his previous life to play, plus the ability he gained from his plug-in, he was always invincible.

However, he will not forget the two games he played for Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane and Figo firmly controlled the tempo of the game, and the feeling of defeat made Leon very uncomfortable.

This made Leon understand a truth, a classic line that Stephen Chow said in Shaolin football: the ball is not played like this.

To be honest, in terms of physical fitness and technique, Zidane and Figo are already so old, and the young newcomers are certainly not much worse than them, in fact, with the development of modern football, the basic skills between football players have been very close, but why are there still ordinary players and top players?

That's the ball quotient, it's also a straight plug, why can't yours be plugged, but someone else's can be easily plugged through? What is the reason?

Playing football is a matter of brains, Zidane and Figo taught Leon how to master the rhythm of the game, just as Ortega once taught himself how to mark one-on-one at River Plate, and it is through the constant recruitment of these world's top players that Leon has achieved what he is today.

"Boss, I think everyone has had enough rest after a day off today, and from tomorrow we will be ready to train against the German team." Looking at Bielsa, the madman who had not left as well, Leon turned around and said.

Bielsa nodded: "Yes, the rest of the day has made these guys not in a hurry." Don't worry, Leon, we are very young, but against the hosts, I am sure they will not have stage fright. ”

"Of course, because they're Argentina's players, and even though they're all young, they're already aces in their respective clubs, and to be honest, if they're stage frightened, I don't think it's you, it's the clubs that develop them." Leon said as he looked at Bielsa.

Bielsa smiled, "Go and rest, Leon." ”

Leon shrugged: "I want to see the match between Brazil and Ghana. ”

"Oh?" Bielsa wonders, is there anything about this match that attracts the king of the world?

Bielsa doesn't know, because of his own reasons, Xiao Luo and Kaka and Ade have been affected by themselves, Ade is more terrifying than in his previous life, Kaka has entered his prime, and after suffering this year's setback, Ronaldinho will definitely put away his arrogance.

Brazilians are very strange creatures, they will be more industrious than everyone before they become number one in the world, and they will be lazier than everyone after they become number one in the world.

Adriano and Ronaldinho are both representatives of the rapid decline after entering the peak, and although Kaka has been affected by injuries, after transferring to Real Madrid, he has not lost the ferocity of the past at all...... But in this life, will the Brazilian team be affected by themselves? In that case, will the French team still reach the final as they did in their previous life? Will the Brazilians still face Waterloo in the quarter-finals?

You know, without themselves, Brazil would have been the favourites to win this World Cup, because they have a dream quartet, a team that was considered a hundred years ahead of world football in their previous life.

They have the world's No. 1 left-back, the world's No. 1 right-back, and there are countless world-leading Brazilians going to play.

Leon is very curious, because in fact, he wants to touch the French team more, you must know that after reversing Spain, the French team is no longer the French team in the group stage, Zidane slowly regained his peak feeling, and all the players of the French team have been activated, also as one of the world's four major defenders, why doesn't Leon want to face his former mentor Makelele at the same time, and Fabregascar Gilberto Silva is equal to Vieira's Vieira?

Two of the world's top midfielders, this is what Leon is most interested in as the same position.

In León's fantasy, the match between Brazil and Ghana soon began, with the winner of the match facing France in the quarter-finals, and the arrival of the Brazilians livened up the entire World Cup stadium, while the Ghana team was much more low-key in comparison.

Buffalo Essien ...... Speaking of which, this is also the peak of Essien's moment.

The Brazilian team, Kaka, Ronaldo, and the second Ade...... How are you going to behave?
