899 Big Dark Horse

"Welcome to the Bird's Nest at the National Stadium of China, where we will broadcast the Olympic men's football final between China and Argentina live for our audience and friends!

This is a historic day for Chinese football.

Although some outside media criticized the Chinese team for relying on the advantage of the home stadium and the ugliness of tactics to become the biggest dark horse in this Olympic Games, we cannot deny that it is also commendable to create such a miracle.

Compared with the difficulty and thrill of the Chinese team advancing to the finals, the Argentine team has performed very eye-catching from the group stage, and the Argentine team, which has many stars playing in the top European leagues, is obviously much stronger than the Chinese team.

We may not be able to see a match between China and Argentina.

But I believe that the Chinese team will do everything to fight for glory, and they have proven in their previous matches that their fighting spirit deserves applause from all of us!

Today, the Chinese team started 442.

Goalkeeper: Qiu Shengjiong.

Defenders: Wan Houliang, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng, Tan Wangsong.

Midfielders: Hao Junmin, Zhou Haibin, Liu Yi, Zhao Xujun.

Forwards: Qin Xiong, Han Peng.

Argentina started today with 4231.

Goalkeeper: Romero.

Defenders: Zabaleta, Pareja, Garay, Monzon.

Midfielders: Messi, Mascherano, Riquelme, Gago, Di Maria.

Forward: Sergio Aguero.

Now the two teams are in the middle of a pre-match handshake ceremony, and the game will start soon! ”

When Qin Xiong shook hands with each of the Argentine players, there was one more movement between him and Messi, and the two patted each other's arms.

It seems to be tacit. The two staggered head-on. The corners of his mouth raised a fleeting smile.

Who would have thought. Last season's Real Madrid and Barcelona champions did not prepare for the start of the new season in Spain, but competed together at the Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

This will surely be an intriguing scene in the men's football event at this Olympic Games.

And when the captains of the two teams walked in front of the referee team, it was as if they had stepped back in time, and the two men who had met in the Champions League semi-finals two years ago walked in front of each other to exchange team flags.

Qin Xiong and Riquelme!

Whether it was in the past or now, Qin Xiong's story on the green field has intertwined too many grievances and hatreds.

The old man is gone, and the new man is emerging.

Today, he looked at it at a glance. In addition to Gago, a teammate of Real Madrid, there are also unfamiliar faces like Di Maria in the Argentine team.

When the story continues, and the old and the new emerge in an endless stream, Qin Xiong now begins to look forward to the day of retirement and looks back on his entire career, what kind of emotion will it be?

How many comrades-in-arms are there who fought side by side? And how many enemies are there who are old and dead? But there will certainly not be too many rivals for the throne that are entangled in the air!

When the game was about to start, Argentina set up a formation at half-time, and Aguero and Messi, who were standing in the center circle ready to kick off, looked up and looked surprised.

The closest person to them standing in the Chinese team's half was Qin Xiong, and not far behind Qin Xiong was Han Peng.

It's nothing to fuss about, but the Chinese team's back line and midfield line are pressed too far back. The distance from Qin Xiong is too obvious.

Instead, it presents a strange picture.

The Chinese team's forward line is disconnected from the midfield line and the back line, and Qin Xiong seems to be fighting alone!

If you only look at it from the angle behind Qin Xiong. Standing tall, he is ready to stage an epic battle that will fight the world alone!

Aguero sighed softly.

To say that the Argentine team does not take the Chinese team seriously at all is also false.

The more finals you have, the more you have to be careful of overturning in the gutter.

The Chinese team reached the final, and the tactics themselves have no secrets to speak of.

Isn't it just a defensive counterattack?

At first, it was 8 men defending and 3 attacking, and in the last semi-final, it became 9 men defending and 2 attacking.

Today the stance could become 10 men on defense and 1 man on offense.

The Chinese team has really become a team of "Qin Xiong + 10 players".

Is there anything scary?

Think about Portugal's loss to Greece in 04, isn't it scary that Greek team that overturned the strong team all the way?

The ultimate defense, the few opportunities to be seized, and then create a dark horse miracle!

Today's Chinese team is very similar to Greece back then, but the competition is different and the importance is different.

The Argentine team will definitely not retreat, how can it be cowardly in front of the Chinese team?

Just like the Czech Republic, France, and Portugal back then, how could they put down their arrogant posture in front of Greece?

Messi doesn't have too many ideas, no matter how the Chinese team will play this game, he thinks that as long as the Argentine team plays at its true level, it will be able to win and win the championship.

After the referee's whistle, Sergio Aguero kicked the ball to Messi.

Messi crossed the ball to the side after Qin Xiong moved to the front.

Di Maria ran forward from the flank, and immediately after touching the ball, he dribbled forward to push the attack.

The two lines of defense of the Chinese team form a staggered three pyramid defensive system, and Di Maria has to operate on the wing?

As you see fit!

With the bottom cross, who does Argentina rely on to grab points?

Is Aguero and Messi, who are not a threat in height? Or is it Riquelme, who is not active in running and not very strong against the master?

Even if Gago and Mascherano rush up, what about it?

So Argentina wants to make a fuss on the side, and the Chinese team doesn't care at all.

But Di Maria didn't blindly cross, and he changed direction from a 45-degree position on the flank and started cutting inside.

At this time, the Chinese team's joint defense began to start, Hao Junmin and Wan Houliang came together to force the robbery, Wan Houliang rushed people, and Hao Junmin rushed the ball.

Di Maria barely passed the ball to the middle under Wan Houliang's physical block, but was destroyed by Zhou Haibin before Riquelme could touch the ball.

This is Di Maria himself did not pass well.

Yin Tiesheng and Dujkovic, who were nervous on the sidelines, were slightly relieved when they saw the failure of Argentina's first attack after the opening, and then they also ignited hope.

If you kick like this, you might be able to do it!

In addition to blocking the danger zone, Qin Xiong's advice in defense also shared the experience gained in the Premier League with the team in terms of pressing methods.

If it's more than one person pressing, you can't both rush to the ball, as it's easy to get past a nimble opponent.

Plus a layer of insurance!

Even if the ball can pass, people must stay!

Of course, this kind of defensive skill is possessed by the top defensive players themselves, but the defensive ability of the Chinese team depends on two players to achieve it separately.

The Chinese team has been disrupting the opponent's attack for the first 10 minutes, and in a very narrow range, Argentina frequently made mistakes in passing or were fouled by the Chinese team, and they were awarded two free kick opportunities, but neither could threaten the Chinese goal.
