Chapter 594: Battle Intent is Like Fire!
The 2014 World Cup has its final match, which will determine the winner.
At the same time, it is also a duel between two of the most famous strikers in world football today.
One can imagine how many people's attention this game attracted.
Tickets are hard to come by.
It is said that scalpers have sold an ordinary ticket for five thousand dollars!
The stars shine in the VIP seats and stands, and they are coming to witness the strongest king of football.
β¦β¦
In the Spanish dressing room, Costa is mobilizing enthusiastically before the game: "Our final is here!
We are doing our best for this day!
We were dead once, but we survived!
Is it to live for a loss?
No!
What we need is a win!
Only victory can be worthy of our efforts!
to be worthy of our talent! β
The temperature in the locker room is starting to rise, and the powerful fighting spirit has been ignited!
"Come on! Brothers! β
Costa summons his teammates.
The teammates left their seats and gathered around Costa, reaching out and stacking them on top of each other.
"Roar with me!"
Costa shouted: "Victory will be Spain!" β
The crowd shouted: "Victory will be Spain!" β
"Spain!"
"Spain!"
"Spain will win!"
"Spain will win!"
"Victory!
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory! β¦β¦β
Warm applause followed.
Once everyone was back in their seats, Bosque took over the rest of the work, looking at the players and saying: "Today is an ordinary day for all of us, but it is also a special day.
What we want is a victory, because only victory can be worthy of us, because we have gone through all kinds of hardships, because we have overcome one difficulty after another!
Because we're the best in the world, because we're the best team in the world! β
He said in a deep and calm voice: "Then, please play to your heart's content on the field and get the glory that belongs to us!" β
Thunderous applause!
Bosque began to lay out his tactics after announcing his starting line-up: "Let's start with the attack. β
Pointing to the left, he said: "We try to move the football to this side to get the attention of the opposition defence. β
Iniesta and the players in midfield nodded.
Bosque then pointed to the right: "If there is no space, move the ball widely, move the ball to the right!" β
He pointed at Li Chuanqi and Costa and said, "You guys are here to break through their defenses!" β
Li Chuanqi and Costa nodded, the left side is the sheep attack, and the right side is the direction of the main attack, which is the strategy formulated by Spain.
β¦β¦
Argentine locker room.
Romero gave a pre-match mobilization speech: "All the people who like us, who support us, want us to win this and take home the Hercules Cup!"
Can we do it?
Absolutely! β
He looked at his teammates and exclaimed: "Cowardice and cowardice do not belong to great Argentina!"
We are invincible!
We are the best in the world!
We will surely stand on top of the world and overlook the world!
Because we are Argentina, we are eagles soaring on the Pampas!
We want to be proud of the world in this land!
Please believe what I say, we are the best, we are the best in this world! β
Romero roared: "Argentina must win!" β
The players surrounded and shouted, "Argentina must win!" Win! Win! Win! β¦β¦β
The passion of all has been ignited.
Messi took a deep breath, this was the closest he had ever been to the Hercules Cup in his life, and it was also the pinnacle of his life.
After announcing his starting line-up, Argentina coach Savilla began to lay out his tactics: "We have to be mentally prepared to play the full 120 minutes because it is going to be a tough game.
First of all, we have to defend well, which is very important, very important!
Assist defense, packing, and blocking, you must hold your own defensive position, and you can't easily give the opponent a chance to shoot with your feet! β
Speaking about the defence, he emphasised the attack: "The Spanish defence is not stable, we have to believe that we can penetrate their defence, we have to intersperse more runs, more runs without the ball......
Try to give the ball to Leo and let him handle the ball! β
Savilla pinned their hopes on Messi and asked the players to give their football to Messi as much as possible.
β¦β¦
At 3:40, the starters of both sides appeared in the players' tunnel.
Li Chuanqi did not play at the end of the game, but followed Costa to the players' tunnel, leaving the opportunity to Iniesta.
Messi was certainly the last of the Argentine players to appear, as he was the biggest star in the Argentine team.
Install the latest version. γ
There was no tension between the two sides, with Iniesta and Busquets taking the initiative to hug Barcelona teammates such as Messi and Mascherano.
They wish each other the best of their ability.
Costa was not satisfied with this, and said to Ramos in front of him: "You see they are happy, where it looks like they are going to the final!" β
Ramos nodded and said: "Regardless of them, they want to be happy, we will definitely not let them get their way, and we will ignite the fighting spirit when we play!" β
Li Chuanqi did not express his opinion on this, because Argentina does not have Atletico players in the team.
He didn't know what he would do if he found himself in such a situation.
Once the starters from both sides had arrived, the four referees led the players to the pitch.
The players led the caddies out of the tunnel and were greeted by a tsunami of cheers.
The players returned the salute to the fans, and the cheers became even louder.
On the broadcast line, commentators from major TV stations around the world began to get into the groove.
"Fans and friends! Fans and friends! This is the MaracanΓ£ Stadium in Rio de Janeiro! We're streaming the final of the World Cup in Brazil! The final will be between the defending champions Spain and Argentina! β
"Players from both sides have entered the pitch!"
"It's a showdown at the top because there are Lee and Messi on the pitch, and they represent the quality of strikers in world football today!"
"The World Cup in Brazil is in the last moments, in the last game! Who will have the last laugh, Lee, or Messi? β
"The MaracanΓ£ Stadium in Rio de Janeiro is thundering with joy and the final is about to take place!"
"Let's introduce you to the starting line-ups of both sides: Argentine coach Savilla lined up in a four-three-one-two formation, goalkeeper Romero; Defenders: Zabalita, Demichelis, Garay, Rojo; Three midfielders: Biglia, Mascherano, Enzo Perez; Lionel Messi, a single striker; Two strikers: Yin Guain, Lavezi!
Sergio Aguero, who is injured, is not in the starting line-up! β
"Bosque lined up the traditional Spanish four-three-three formation: goalkeeper: Reina; JuanfrΓ‘n, Albiol, Ramos, Alba; Three midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Alonso, Pedro; Three strikers: Lee, Costa, Iniesta!
In contrast to the semi-finals, Pedro withdrew from the front line to the midfield and Lee got the start!
It was his second start of this World Cup!
On his first start, which was also his World Cup debut, he scored a hat-trick! β
