Argentina took a 2-0 lead after just five minutes or so of the opening kick-off, something that obviously no one had expected before the game began.

However, the speed of the Dutchman's counter-attack was clearly unexpected by the Argentine fans, who were basking in the joy brought by the king of the world, Leon Well.

In the 11th minute of the first half, the orange storm once again swept over the World Cup in Germany, and the Dutch team, which would shock Europe in two years, was on its radar.

Arjan Robben made a series of raids on the left flank, this time Robben clearly paid attention to Leon's position, he quickly played the ball before Leon could make up for it, Dutch striker Van der Vaart followed up and used his heel to avoid the Argentine defender Cambiasso's save, and then, he sent a precise long ball with his left foot, and the ball found the feet of Van Persie, the starting right winger of the Dutch team today.

At this time, Van Persie did not have the general temperament of his previous life who dared to slash immediately on the court, but even if he was just a pawn, Van Persie was by no means the kind of general.

The Dutch talent led with his left foot, and his upper body made a false feint before knocking off Argentina's left-back Javier Zanetti, and then Van Persie chose to smash the ball horizontally and cut in, just when Argentina's central defender Samuel was attracted to Van Persie, Van Persie's left foot suddenly spun the ball, and the ball came to the back point in front of the penalty area flat and fast.

Argentina's goalkeeper Abang Dancheri did not rush out because the ball was spinning too fast, at the back of the penalty area, Robben quickly whipped up, he headed back to the top, in the middle of the penalty area, the king of the small penalty area Van Nistelrooy showed his domineering, he pressed the Argentine team's central defender Ayala to receive Robben's header back to the top and the ball into the door of the Argentine team!

1-2, the Dutch team pulled one back!

England Sky TV, commentator Gary Lineker: "Well, it's exciting, Martin, the Argentines are fast enough to score, the Dutch are quick to counter-attack, it's a great game." ”

Martin Taylor, a famous Premier League and football commentator on Sky England: "Yes, this goal fully shows the style of the Dutch team, that is, simple and fast, which is the biggest characteristic of the Dutch team in this World Cup. Although their style is no longer all-in-one, their counter-attacks are still sharp. The Argentine team is obviously not fully prepared for this goal, or after taking a 2-0 lead, the Argentine team is a little relaxed, and it is the slightest slack of the Argentine team that the Dutch team scored a goal, I think England will face a tough battle if they meet the Netherlands or Argentina. ”

On the field, the morale of the Dutch team that won back a city was greatly boosted, and on the bench of the Dutch team, Van Basten also clenched his fists to encourage the Dutch players on the field.

On the Argentine side, Leon walked up to his teammates: "Okay, guys, don't think too much about a conceded goal, cheer up." ”

As the captain of the Argentine team, Leon's words always calm his teammates.

After seeing Leon gather his teammates together and give instructions, Bielsa, who originally wanted to call the players to the sidelines, also smiled and unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, and sat back in his place while drinking.

Argentina can relax and concede one goal, but they will never let up and concede a second goal.

After the opening game, the match between Argentina and the Netherlands at the Frankfurt World Cup stadium finally began to calm down.

The game was dragged into a positional battle between the two sides, one round and one round. If counterattacking is the key to determining whether a team is a strong team, then positional warfare is the key to determining whether a team is a super strong team.

Because in the World Cup, cup-style matches are very common, and the bucket formation is the biggest problem faced by any football coach on the planet.

How to break through the iron bucket formation, how to face the iron bucket formation, there have been countless teams in history that have been regarded as the favorites to win the championship have died in positional battles.

Overall, though, almost all the coaches on the planet agree that there must be a center forward and a long-range shot in the positional battle.

León's Barcelona in their strongest Dream III era, Pep Guardiola has also asked the club on more than one occasion to bring in a real centre-forward.

The reason is simple, like modern basketball, the center of modern football is no longer the center in the traditional sense. The center forward has changed from an attacking point to a bridgehead, and the definition of a center forward in modern football is very high, a center forward you must not only be able to score goals, but also be able to hold the ball, protect the ball, make the ball and have a certain personal ability.

A team with a centre forward and a team without a centre forward are definitely two different things, just as Chelsea with Drogba and Chelsea without Drogba are two different things.

The bottleneck encountered by the Dream Three Dynasty is that they lack a center in the true sense of the word.

In this Argentine team, the reason why Bielsa trusts Crespo is because Crespo has the ability to protect the ball and make balls for teammates that Higuain and others do not have.

Argentina's opponents, the Netherlands, also boast the best center on the planet - Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Soon, after the two teams of wingers in the opening game grabbed people's attention, the center forwards of both teams quickly became their respective protagonists on the field.

Argentina's attack revolved around Crespo, while the Netherlands' attack was also centered on Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Although Ruud van Nistelrooy and Van Basten are rumored to be at odds, Van Basten undoubtedly knows how to make a good use of one as one of the best centre-forwards in the world.

The Dutch team's style of play is to use Sneijder's pass to find Van de Vaart, Robben, Van Persie and others to intervene and respond, and then have layers and progressive attacks.

The Argentine team's playing style is Leon's precise guidance plus Cambiaso, Gonzalez and others' insertion, as well as Messi, Tevez's breakthrough, the two teams' playing styles are very different, the Argentine team's playing style is a lot of cooperation in a small range, while the Dutch team's playing style is more left and right transfers.

All of a sudden, neither of the two teams could help anyone, because the success rate of the positional battle was not as good as the fast counterattack, both teams were open to the real fight, although the Argentine team had the upper hand, but the Dutch back line was already very cautious at this time after conceding two goals in the opening game.

Soon, the 35 minutes of the first half were over, and Argentina still led the Netherlands 2-1 on the scoreboard.

At this time, with the help of a dead-ball opportunity, Leon also gathered his teammates together again: "Everyone is cheering up, this is our first physical pole, the Dutch team is also tired now, we must resist it, we can't let them bring the rhythm." ”

Generally speaking, after 35 minutes of the start of a football match, a player will encounter his first physical pole, which does not mean that the player's physical fitness is not good, but a person's normal physiological response, this pole will last for about a few minutes, as for how long it varies from person to person.

However, usually 35 to 40 minutes is a time when it is easy to score goals in football, so as captain, León has to step up and remind his teammates.

It's an experience, a valuable asset.

Sure enough, in the subsequent game, the Dutch team obviously had a tendency to take the lead in attacking at this physical pole, but because the players of the Argentine team had just received a hint from Leon, they had already paid extra attention.

The Dutch can only lament that the Argentine team is more experienced than them, and they can only return in vain.

In the end, the 2-1 lead was successfully maintained by Argentina until the end of the first half, and both teams surprised fans around the world at the beginning of the game, but the game was back on track in the end, and it was not too unrestrained.

At half-time, Bielsa and every member of the Argentine team applauded one by one, and the boys' performance in the first half was very good, which was not difficult to see from the cheers of the Argentine fans at the Frankfurt Stadium and the whistles of the Argentine women's fans.

Just like four years ago, this is the same team that can drive Buenos Aires crazy and make all Argentines adore.

"How's it going, Leon, are you feeling okay?" Bielsa patted his favorite general on the shoulder and asked.

'It's okay, the Dutch were scared of us after pulling a goal back, so they didn't choose to fight us rashly, but they will definitely try it in the second half.' Leon shrugged his shoulders and said.

Bielsa smiled: "The second half of the game is ......"

On the other hand, on the Dutch team's side, Van Basten was also applauding his disciples one by one, in fact, he was not very satisfied with the performance of the Dutch team in the first half, especially at the beginning of the game, Van Basten had done ideological work for all the Dutch players before the game, but Van Basten probably did not expect that the Dutch team would collapse for so many minutes at the beginning of the game.

However, Van Basten was still very satisfied with the performance of the Dutch team after that, 1-2, and there was still a chance.

"Wesley, is there anything special about playing with the best players in the world?" Van Basten looked at Sneijder and asked.

Sneijder smiled helplessly: "It's a very sad feeling, I feel that whether it is technology, consciousness or experience, Leonwill is like an unattainable peak. ”

Van Basten nodded: "Of course, otherwise he would not be called the king of the world." But Wesley, there is no insurmountable pinnacle in this world. ”

Sneijder nodded, then walked back to the locker room with his teammates.
