Argentina's home base for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was finally set at the HPC Sports Centre of the University of Pretoria!

Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa, and the University of Pretoria is the largest university in South Africa.

As early as August 2009, the Argentine Football Association official, who is also a famous Argentine football legend, Bilardo, came to the HPC Sports Center in advance for a drop-down inspection, and was very satisfied with the conditions here.

Among them, there is also an interesting little story worth mentioning - the life and death rivals of the Blue and White Army - the Three Lions England team also took a fancy to the HPC Sports Center, but it is a pity that their investigation here forced the Argentine team to be two weeks late, and in the end they can only regret it!

It is definitely a good sign to be able to beat England in this regard, and the Argentine is extremely proud and at the same time, he has more expectations for the upcoming World Cup!

As for the University of Pretoria, in order to welcome the arrival of this world-renowned king division, the HPC Sports Center has been closed in all directions, and the South African political axe is renovating here in an all-round way, in order to bring more convenient services and environment to the Argentine team at that time!

Therefore, at this time, the early warm-up activities of the Argentine team are still carried out in China!

After the 32-man squad was announced, all the selected players came to Buenos Aires within two days to report, and the temporary location chosen by Li Tongfan was a four-star hotel near the River Plate Monument Stadium!

The team's makeshift training ground, played at the Monument Stadium, the home of River Plate!

………… Bang!!

There was a loud bang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The soccer ball pierced through the space like lightning bolts and slammed into the goal.

"Well done, nice shot, Rodrigo, very good!!"

The weather in Buenos Aires in the afternoon of May was already a little cold, and on the lawn of the Monumental Stadium, the Argentine team was conducting its first run-in training after gathering! Pigtailed striker Palacio blasted a super world wave during shooting drill, and the forward coach Besanha, who was standing on the side, laughed and praised...... Palacio waved his thanks to Besanha!

At the same time, he stole a glance at the head coach Maniac Lee, who was standing not far from the sidelines.

For this young head coach who came out like a comet, he had heard about it countless times before, but he didn't expect that the crazy Li would one day become the head coach of the Argentine team, and he would be lucky enough to be called to the Argentine national team!

Although this is not the final South Africa 23-man squad, there is a good chance that as many as nine will fall on the road to the World Cup in South Africa...... However, Palacio is confident that he can conquer the madman Lee with his own strength, because he has a unique formula for victory - speed!

Of the 32 at the moment, he is the fastest!

But to Palacio's slight disappointment, he didn't see any expression on the face of the madman Lee just now, and his powerful shot really didn't make his eyes blink...... There are many people who have the same idea as Palacio, such as the young player Perotti who was selected for the national team for the first time, the [clown] Aimar who has not been given a chance to play except for the warm-up game, the [beast] Carlos Tevez who scored the killer in the first game with the Uruguayan team, and even Patermo, who is unruly and is called "crazy" in Argentina, are all working hard in this not cold afternoon...... Sweat in the cold air and get your blood boiling...... Their fate is in the hands of the young man who stood on the sidelines with a stern face!

…… Lee Tong-fan has been carefully observing the state of the Argentine stars!

The 32 players who are training at the Monumental Stadium can be said to be the most luxurious squad in Argentina at present, whether it is the realistic performance in the just-concluded 09-10 season, or the value of the ability list in FM2010, each of them can be called a hero, and they are also the target of the top clubs of the five major leagues this summer!

Unlike the long club tournament where everyone can get a chance, once the national team list is confirmed, it means that the unselected players will lose the opportunity forever, and for many of them, it may be the last chance to appear in the World Cup in their careers, so for Lao Li, making the decision to brush off anyone is a painful and cruel thing!

Lao Li must find out the state of the Argentine stars after a long season in just ten days, and strive to use the most scientific and reasonable standards to select the final 23 participants!

Palacio's shot just now Lao Li naturally saw it!

However, such a chance shot success rate is nothing, and besides, the characteristics of this pigtail striker in the FM2010 system [speed] and [explosiveness] double 20 are not in the shooting score, Lao Li did not expect him to become the team's top scorer...... The whole afternoon was spent in such meticulous observations!

In the final period of the team's training, it was still an intra-team confrontation, and the players of the Argentine U21 youth team, as the opponents of the senior team, played a 45-minute confrontation match, and finally the senior team defeated the junior brothers 7:1!

Messi and Higuain scored hat-tricks.

Riquelme scores another free-kick!

…… May 29.

Argentina played their last warm-up match before leaving for South Africa, against Canada!

The match was made public and a large number of media and fans poured into the Monumental Stadium, especially for fans who could not travel to South Africa to watch the World Cup in person, it will be the last time they will watch the warm-up match of the Argentine team!

Inside the Monument Stadium, the atmosphere is quite hot!

At three o'clock in the afternoon local time, the game officially began.

Contrary to all media expectations, Li Tongfan did not adopt the previous three-striker formation, Messi, who injured his arm with his teammates in training, did not appear in the starting lineup, Higuain and Tevez partnered in the front line, Riquelme sat in the front midfield, Di Maria and Brocki on the wings, and Fernando Gago played as a lone midfielder...... It's a 4-1-2-1-2 formation in the heyday of Real Madrid and Newcastle!

At the beginning of the game, Argentina did not have the absolute upper hand, and the Canadian team's active scrambling in the midfield once made the organization of the blue and white team seem a little scattered, especially Porto winger Brockie, after getting the ball, always tried to use his personal speed and technique to go it alone, and soon fell into the bag and conceded the goal...... The deadlock was broken in the 23rd minute when Riquelme's free-kick proved to be in full swing when Romy's free-kick from 25 yards out found the back of the net against the back of the net by Canadian goalkeeper Onstad...... 1：0！

Argentina took the lead.

At this time, Li Tongfan made a quick substitution, and Atletico Madrid captain Maxi Rodriguez replaced Porto winger Brocki, and the game continued...... Brockie came off the pitch devastated and knew he had been eliminated by the national team first, and his performance was just too bad...... However, he still politely stepped forward and hugged the 'boss' madman Lee...... "Good luck, boss!" Good luck to the Argentine team! ”

Brockie whispered in Li Tongfan's ear, his tone full of regret and expectation, although he already knew that his fate was equivalent to a direct farewell to the World Cup in South Africa...... However, he still hopes that his motherland can reach the end of the South African battlefield!

Li Tongfan patted Brockie's back vigorously and did not speak.

…… 34th minute.

Argentina scored another goal - Di Maria broke through and crossed from the side, Higuain followed up in the middle and scored with a header, and the score became 2:0!

The cheers at the Monument Stadium were like a tsunami!

After that, the Argentine team became more and more courageous, and in the 44th minute, [Beast] Tevez received Riquelme's through plug, and successfully dribbled past the goalkeeper in an offside position...... 3：0！！

Fifteen minutes after the break, Lee Tong-fan made another change - Liverpool's youngster Insuya replaced Zanetti, Diego Milito replaced Higuain, Mascherano replaced Gago, Aimar replaced Riquelme, Sevilla youngster Perotti replaced Di Maria, Otamendi replaced Zabaleta, and Getafe goalkeeper Ustari also got a chance to perform...... The second half began.

The rhythm of the game is still the Argentine team, which is playing more and more smoothly.

In the 45 minutes of the second half, Milito, Gago, Aguero (substitute Tevez came on in the 67th minute) Perotti scored a goal each, and the score was finally locked at 7:0!!

The match ended with the cheers of more than 20,000 Argentine fans at the Monumental Stadium, who were very satisfied with the fighting power shown by the team, and the "March of the Motherland" resounded in Buenos Aires, after which the Argentine team will embark on the plane to South Africa!

……《7：0！！ The Argentine team is beginning to be a king》

"After the big victory, the blue and white team shows the championship appearance! 》

After the game, the media at home and abroad expressed great satisfaction with the results of the first warm-up match of the Argentine team, although the opponent was a not strong Canadian team, but the super-large score of 7:0 still revealed the terrifying attack power of the blue and white team!

And various media have spent a lot of pen and ink to comment on the performance of several newcomers to the national team - Higuain has been praised for a long time!

The Sevilla youngster was praised for scoring a long-range goal!

Insuya, who came off the bench, performed mediocre and only got 6 soy sauce points in the media ratings...... Porto winger Brockie played poorly and was considered the most likely player to be knocked out of the Crazy Lee Blue and Whites............ The media's speculation is not wrong.

The next day, Porto winger Brocki and Liverpool full-back Insua left the hotel with their bags on their backs, and they became the first unlucky ones to be eliminated!

"They're still young, all they need is time and experience, good luck to them!"

Li Tongfan sent his blessings to the two losers on the official website of the Argentine Football Association!

Then, a total of 77 people from Argentina took off from Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires on a transfer plane chartered by the Football Association and officially headed for the battlefield in South Africa!

Through the oval window, Li Tongfan looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and remembered a very popular sentence among Argentine players - "The blue sky is vast and quiet, the white clouds are smart and elegant, if God is not an Argentine fan, why is the sky blue and the clouds white?" ”

World Cup, I'm coming!!
