Chapter 595: The Finals Begin!
The Sky Sports commentator exclaimed: "A lot of things have happened in the last day or two, starting with the news that the Guardian newspaper exposed Lee's diarrhea, which has sparked heated discussions among the media and fans around the world.
Some speculate that Argentina is making an extravagant move, and this scene is very similar to that before the World Cup final in '98.
Before the 98 World Cup final, Brazilian superstar Ronaldo suddenly fainted and was once excluded from the starting list, and finally under pressure, the Brazilian coach temporarily adjusted the starting list and let Ronaldo appear in the starting list.
As a result, everyone knows that Ronaldo was in no form in the final, and the French team finally defeated Brazil with a score of 3-0 with two goals from Zidane and won the first Hercules Cup in the history of the French team!
The Spanish media and fans fear a repeat of this scene.
However, the Spanish team announced that Lee had recovered and said that it had nothing to do with Argentina, just a normal episode of diarrhea.
This is what reassures the Spanish media and fans.
Then came the referee's arrangement, and FIFA announced that Italian Rizzoli would be the referee for the final, which caused concern on the Spanish side, because Rizzoli had previously whistled Argentina for two games, and Argentina won both games.
What's more, Rizzoli once expressed his love for Messi in front of the media.
Spain were worried that the Italians would make a decision in Argentina's favour in the final.
However, we believe that with the eyes of the whole world, the Italians will not do that. ”
The Channel 2 commentator said: "Both sides were hungry for victory in the pre-match press conference in the morning, and both thought their teams would win the title.
Romero provoked Lee on the spot, believing that Mascherano could defend Lee and that he could keep a clean sheet against Spain.
Entering the pitch, Lee shot back, 'That's a joke,' and he was confident in the game, 'Spain will win!' ’。
At 0-2 in the semi-finals, the whole Spanish team gathered around and shouted 'Spain will win!' This phrase has become the slogan of Spain.
Before the game, Argentine star Maradona expressed his support for Argentina, "I believe we will win the final victory!" ’。
When talking about Messi, he bluntly said that his only concern is Messi's fatigue level.
'The only thing I'm afraid of is that the little flea is tired, he looks tired against the Netherlands,' Maradona said, 'and even if he doesn't score in the final, I think he's the best player in the world.' But in the World Cup final, you can't afford to get tired. ’
Maradona warned Messi that if you miss this opportunity, which will bring you the greatest happiness, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
According to Maradona, Argentina's match against the Netherlands was a sign of the Pampas Eagles: "I liked the Argentine team against the Netherlands, and for the first time in a long time I saw the glory on our jerseys. ’
He believes that Mascherano and Demichelis are also key players in this Argentine team and believes that Argentina have solved their defensive problems very well, although Spain is a very different team.
We've all seen how Spain will deal with Germany when they get their chances. ’
I think Spain will be surprised if they find out on the pitch that we are different from Germany. ’
Maradona said, 'To win you have to defend solidly, to get the ball in midfield and pass it to Messi, he is the one who can cause damage to the Spanish team. ’
Maradona was a lot of critics of this Argentina team, but he was also the staunchest supporter; We're going to win because we need this championship!' ’
Speaking about Lee, Maradona cautiously said, 'I've watched him a few times when he still had an injury to his left foot, he didn't break through, he didn't play with his speed. It's hard to imagine that someone like this can finish so many balls, and that's amazing to me. ’
】
'If we can't restrain Lee in the final, it will be very passive and difficult'.
However, he still has a lot of confidence in the Argentine backline, 'I believe that Mascherano can do a good job of the task given to him by the coach, his most important task in this game is to limit Lee's play, I believe he will do better than at Barcelona!' ’
Whether Argentina can win the championship as Maradona wants depends on the performance of both sides in the game. ”
The commentator of Spanish national television said: "Four years ago, after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Spain defeated the Netherlands with a goal from Iniesta and won the first Hercules Cup in history, achieving a historic breakthrough.
Four years on, Spain is in the final again, and all Spanish fans hope that the Spanish team can successfully defend their title! ”
Commentator Raul said: "Yes, we all hope that the Spanish team will successfully defend their title.
Spain has undergone some changes compared to four years ago, with Xavi already in the main squad, Gerard Pique leaving Brazil through injury and Atletico Madrid's attacking partner taking on the responsibility of attacking the city.
Lee's rise is Spain's biggest gain in the past four years, and he suddenly appeared in front of people like a comet, blooming with great light!
In his first six games, he started once, missed once through injury and came off the bench four times, and in the five games he played, Spain won all of them and scored nine goals, becoming the second-most player in a single World Cup in World Cup history.
In that thrilling semi-final, Lee's performance was miraculous, leading Spain to an epic comeback in a desperate situation of 0-2!
Lee has overcome injuries and is fit enough to appear in the final, and that's the best news for Spain and the fans!
I hope Lee can play at a normal level in the upcoming fights, and I'm sure he can do that.
Because he has just experienced the baptism of semi-finals! ”
The commentator of Argentine national television exclaimed: "After 24 years, Argentina is finally standing in the final again, 24 years ago, Argentina lost to Germany by one goal and missed the opportunity to defend the title.
Twenty-four years on, we are in the final again, and we are confident that our players will bring us a victory and regain the glory that belongs to Argentina!
We believe that there will be one of the best Messis tonight! ”
The commentators of the major TV stations have entered the role.
On the pitch, the eyes of the players on both sides were full of eagerness as they walked through the Hercules Cup.
Costa whispered, "You're going to stay in Spain!" ”
Li Chuanqi didn't say anything, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily.
"Drop! ……”
At four o'clock, the referee, Italian Rizzoli, blew the whistle for the start of the game.
Yoon Guain moved the ball to the back, and the midfielders led by Costa began to press high.
The finals are on!
