Chapter 610: Single Knife, Hat Trick!
Li Chuanqi took the initiative to come to the middle and attracted the attention of Argentine coach Savilla.
He is still judging whether this is Li Chuanqi's temporary behavior, or if he really starts to change formations?
Savilla wasn't sure, so he called the tactical coach to his side to discuss.
If it is a temporary action, then there is no need to adjust the defensive strategy, if it is a change of formation, Argentina must change the defensive strategy.
Just as they were talking, Spain sent a tactical corner.
Sergio Busquets played a corner to Juanfran and the Argentine defence suddenly pressed forward to create an offside position.
For the safety of possession, Juanfran moved the ball to the backline.
Once again, Spain engaged in positional warfare.
Li Chuanqi still did not return to the right flank, Argentina defended destructively, and Lavezzi poked the ball out of the touchline.
On the sidelines, Xavi was already on the sidelines, and Bosque was ready to make a substitution.
The Sky Sports commentator exclaimed: "In the stalemate, Bosque remembered Xavi, remembered this master of ball control!"
After the defeat to Chile, Bosque began to abandon Xavi in favor of the younger Kocay.
This caused a huge controversy, and the Catalan media attacked Bosque.
The belief that the blame for the defeat cannot be placed on Xavi, who was defeated at the feet of Chile, left Spain faced a final game that they had to win, and a big win, to have a chance of reaching the knockout rounds.
In that defeat, in addition to the weak attack, the back line was the culprit, and the back line should be adjusted.
But the stubborn Bosque insisted on his opinion, and Spain entered the knockout rounds in a thrilling way under Lee's leadership, and those voices were a little quieter, but they still appeared from time to time.
In the subsequent knockout rounds, Bosque really gave up on the 10-year World Cup winner.
Spain, however, made it to the final.
Spanish fans have slowly forgotten about Xavi.
In a stalemate, Bosque once again used the veteran!
What kind of performance can Xavi, who has been absent from the battle for a long time, give us?
This is a question.
This substitution of Bosque is bound to cause heated discussions in the media! β
The commentator of Spanish national television affirmed the substitution: "This is the World Cup final, Xavi's experience will undoubtedly add weight to Spain's victory!" β
Commentator Raul nodded and said: "As he gets older, Xavi's form is declining rapidly, and Bosque has taken the killer and put him on the bench.
So in the knockout rounds, we often see Xavi 'directing' the game in the command area.
Spain are facing problems in attack, so Bosque is ready to replace Pedro, who has been underwhelming. β
The Dutch national television commentator commented on the substitution: "Bosque replaced Xavi, on the one hand, to lighten the burden on Iniessta and liberate Iniesta.
Install the latest version. γ
On the other hand, I hope Xavi will control the rhythm on the field! β
Argentine national television scoffed at the substitution: "Xavi is old, he doesn't change anything when he plays!" That's for sure! β
Argentina coach Savilla also began to make changes, replacing Lavezzi and bringing on Sergio Aguero.
Both teams made substitutions.
The game restarted and Xavi took over the responsibility of scheduling, taking the load off Iniesta's shoulders.
Argentina stepped up their midfield pressing, and the competition on the field gradually became hot.
With Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and other midfielders, pass-and-control football is back to Spain once again.
The drowsy picture reappeared.
"Shhhh β¦β¦β
There was another loud boo from the stands, an indictment of pass-controlled football.
However, Spain remained unfazed and continued to play the ball back in central midfield.
Argentina was the lagging side after all, and Argentine coach Savilla commanded the team to press up.
In the twenty-seventh minute of the second half, Spain suddenly raised the tempo and quickly advanced from the back to the front.
Xavi abruptly shifted the ball to Iniesta's feet.
Iniesta showed his skills as a midfield maestro, using the ball to get rid of the defense directly and cut in quickly to the middle!
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Iniesta shifted the ball to Costa's feet, and Costa immediately knocked it back, and the football came to Iniesta's feet again.
"Smack! β¦β¦β
Iniesta didn't stop the ball and went straight to the ball!
The football was like a scalpel, cutting straight through the Argentine defence, passing between the two central defenders!
A red figure rushed towards the football like lightning!
"Lee!"
The commentator of Spanish national television shouted: "Iniesta wonderful pass, Li Qian!" Opportunity! β
Commentator Raul shouted excitedly: "The opportunity for a hat trick is here!" β
The commentator of the Argentine national television said with a pale face: "The crisis is coming! β
Iniesta's pass penetrated Argentina's defense, Argentina was extremely nervous, and Spain looked at Li Chuanqi with anticipation.
Sister Li Xiaofeng clenched her fists and shouted in her heart: Brother! Be sure to score!
Blanca Padilla nervously grabbed the scarf in her hand.
Ronaldo, who was in the VIP seat, stood up excitedly: "It's here!" Here it comes! β
Carlos raised his eyebrows, is he really going to score a hat-trick?!
In the command area, Argentine coach Savilla's face is extremely ugly, damn it......
On the other side, Bosque, who was sitting on the bench, stood up suddenly.
The commentator of the Milan sports station shouted: "Single knife! β
On the field, Li Chuanqi led the football to his left with his right foot!
Romero threw himself out of the door and pounced on Li Chuanqi like a hungry wolf, he wanted to tear Li Chuanqi apart.
Li Chuanqi took a big step forward with his right foot, stepped on the side of the football steadily, and raised his left foot to push the shot!
The football flew out like a sharp arrow towards the inside of Li Chuanqi's left foot!
Fly towards the near corner!
Romero sticks out his right leg!
The air on the field was suffocating, and people forgot to breathe.
Some of the timid fans were blindfolded, afraid to watch what happened next.
Between the flashes of lightning, the football flies past Romero's toes!
"Pong! β¦β¦β
The ball passed through Romero's toes, hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!
"Drop! β¦β¦β
The referee quickly turned to look at the assistant referee before blowing the whistle for a valid goal.
This sound broke the tension at the MaracanΓ£ Stadium in Rio de Janeiro and ignited the passion of Spanish fans!
"Lee! β¦β¦β
The Spanish national television announcer roared: "Lee! The ball is in! Entered! Entered! Entered! β¦β¦β
Commentator Raul shouted excitedly: "Hat-trick! Oh, God! Hat-trick! Lee scored a hat-trick! That's his twelve-goal goal of the tournament!
God, do you dare to imagine?
No!
You don't dare think so, but he did!
There's nothing he can't do!
There is no puzzle that he can't solve! β
