Chapter 531: The Terrifying Germans
The influence of the World Cup is already great, and after entering the more exciting knockout stage, it is even more anticipated, and this year to talk about the teams that fans are most looking forward to.
Naturally, it is Argentina with Chen Mo and Messi, Spain with Dream Three and Real Madrid, Germany with Muller, Pig Neuer, Kros, Klose and others, and Robben, Ribery, Sneid, Van der Vaart, and the Netherlands.
However, the grouping for the round of 16 of this year's World Cup is not very intense.
Except for Portugal bumping into Spain and England bumping into Germany, the other groups have a relatively obvious difference between strength and weakness, and the first two games of the round of 16 are not the focus of the battle.
Uruguay plays Ecuador in front, and Ghana plays the United States in the back.
The four teams in these two games are also a bit of gold for Uruguay.
Many fans who can't see the strong dialogue are still a little disappointed in their hearts.
However, as the time passed on June 28, 2010, fans around the world were looking forward to it again.
For no other reason, Argentina is going to do Mexico.
.
June 28, Cape Town Stadium.
A boisterous crowd of fans was heard outside the locker room.
Obviously, the fans are very enthusiastic, but to be honest, Chen Mo is not too excited to play Mexico, just sitting under the cabinet in the middle while tying his shoes, while chatting with Messi.
However, Chen Mo felt okay, but some of the little guys in the team were nervous.
"God bless me Otamendi with all the best."
Otamendi was so forced that his face was even a little pale.
It's normal.
He is 22 years old and plays for Sarsfield Town in the La Liga.
I don't have a lot of experience in competitions.
Even speaking, if it weren't for Chen Mo's refusal to let Heinze enter the national team, and Samuel has been injured, he Otamendi would not have been able to sit in the starter, and even being selected for the World Cup squad would be enough to hang.
However, his strength is indeed not bad, his fighting spirit is tenacious, he is active, and he played very well in the group stage.
But after all, the group stage is a points game, and there is still a chance to chase if you lose a game, and the knockout round is a single game!
And the opponent is still specialized in playing defense, and it is Mexico that bypasses the middle to kick defense!
There is a lot of psychological pressure, and there is a lot of pressure at the tactical level.
And there is no doubt that Otamendi's chatter was also heard by Chen Momei and others next to him.
They are all people who have come over and know Otamendi's nervousness, and at this time, it reflects the different personalities of Chen Mo and Messi.
Looking at the nervous Otamendi, Messi frowned slightly, wanted to say something, but was a little hesitant.
He is not a character who can encourage others in a relaxed and natural state, but Chen Mo is different, and directly pulls Otamendi aside and starts to force him.
It's not like "don't care what other people think" or "believe in yourself, you can do it!" "This sounds a bit of a truth, but it's actually nonsense that doesn't work.
The bell must be tied to the bell, and the pressure on himself is only digested by Otamendi, Chen Mo just smiled and said that even if he loses the ball, it will be fine, they can come in.
The effect is not bad.
Even if the defender makes a mistake, as long as the mistake is not too exaggerated, and the game can be won in the end, few people will grab the defender after the game.
Without this layer of pressure from public opinion, Otamendi's state is obviously much more relaxed, and the gaze that looks at Chen Mo is more grateful and respectful.
Otamendi's gratitude, Chen Mo didn't care much, and soon, as the horn sounded in the locker room, he also trotted with the whole team on the field.
.
"Argentina really didn't make personnel adjustments in this game, it's still 424."
"Haha, Argentina doesn't have any reason to change formations. In the three games of the group stage, their 424 can be said to have played well. However, it will be up to them to break the shell of the turtle in Mexico. What do you think, Director Zhang, what do you think the score of this game will be in the end? ”
"Haha, it's hard to say the score, but I feel that Chen Mo will score in this game."
"Oh? How so? ”
"In order to defend Argentina's four forwards, Mexico has a five-back formation of 541, and there is really no problem with this formation to defend against four forwards, but the defense at the top of the arc is definitely not as solid as 442 or 451, so I feel that Chen Mo should get more opportunities in this game."
The commentary is rambling, but it's true.
Argentina's 424 formation needs Chen Mo to support it, but at the same time, because of the existence of four forwards, the opponent's defense line will also be pulled apart, and it is easier for Chen Mo to find opportunities at the top of the arc at this time.
After the opening, Aguero quickly returned the pass.
Mexico didn't come up and press, they just kept retreating.
The intention was clearly to defend and counter-attack.
The opponent stopped attacking, Chen Mo naturally pressed forward with the ball, but after the whole team pressed through the half, Chen Mo didn't control the ball much.
Under the watchful eyes of the fans at the stadium, Argentina's main area of possession of the ball changed from the center to the left and right wings.
Basically, Di Maria and Messi are in possession of the ball, while Chen Mo is more often in the center and running without the ball, doing a left-right tandem role.
The results are outstanding.
Let's not talk about Messi on the right, Di Maria on the left, as a left-footed player, is also difficult to cut in, but Mexico's defense is very far back, Di Maria does not need to advance after receiving the ball, just stand in the corner of the penalty area and find the fullback one-on-one.
The left and right sides were defense-in-one, and Mexico's defense could only be pulled away from both sides.
In the 27th minute of the game, Messi shook off the Mexican right fullback with a heavy shoulder on the right side, and cut inside with the ball in small steps.
Messi's ability to shoot at the front of the penalty area is very strong, and in desperation, the Mexican right central defender can only move horizontally to make up for the position, and at the moment when he fills the position, Messi finds Chen Mo who rushed forward to the top of the arc with a kick.
Hit the ball!
A powerful blast with your right foot!
The ball is blazing fast!
And knowing that Ochoa is a goalkeeper who looks at the state very much, and doesn't want to give the opponent a chance to pounce on the ball to find a feeling, this goal Chen Mo also directly aimed at the upper right corner of the goal!
It's difficult!
Draw or win!
Jerk off either!
However, because Messi's internal cut attracted a lot of defense, Chen Mo had plenty of time to adjust his posture and aim in this ball!
There was no suspense, in the carnival of the Argentine fans in the stadium, the ball hung directly in the upper right corner of the goal!
Goal in the knockout round of the World Cup!
After the goal, Chen Mo was still very excited, and rushed to the corner side by side with Messi for the first time, and sent a flying kiss to the wives who raised their hands in celebration in the VIP seat.
There is no doubt that this scene was naturally filmed by the camera frenzy again, but to be honest, today's photographers are a bit busy.
It's not Chen Mo.
The protagonist of this game is Messi.
The opponents in the previous group stage were not as strong as Mexico, but the tactical play was not as extreme as Mexico.
The biggest problem of Argentina 424 is that when the offense and defense are switched to the defensive stage, if the opponent advances from the midfield, the defensive pressure of Chen Mo and Xiao Ma is very high, and Messi did not dare to completely let go of his hands and feet in the previous game.
Because whether it is Ecuador or even South Korea, their midfielders have a certain longitudinal impact in the middle, Chen Mo and Xiao Ma are very troublesome in two defenses and three defenses, but this Mexican midfielder is all defensive giants, and basically does not have the ability to run long distances with the ball in the midfield to impact.
Even if Messi failed to break through and lost possession, Mexico's counterattack was mainly completed by two wings and forwards.
Argentina is a back 4, and the counterattack of defending this kind of forward line and wingback is not a disadvantage, and because Mexico's midfield is not too strong, Chen Mo's position is also relatively backward, and he sends shells to the front court while defending steadily.
In this case, Messi can naturally let go of his hands and feet to kick.
In 10 years, the 24-year-old Messi let go of the game, and the tactics gave him enough support.
There was no suspense, Messi completed 9 dribbles in the first half, but Mexico's defense was indeed very solid, and it was not until the 68th minute of the second half that Messi relied on an arc top to hit the wall with Higuain, and then cut into the penalty area without the ball and stabbed the goal.
Two to zero.
With only 20 minutes left in the game, Mexico was forced to change their style of play as Messi rushed to a corner kick and jumped onto Higuain's back.
I can only rush out and fight for my life, but it is useless.
After Mexico rushed in, Maradona directly replaced Aguero with Cambiaso.
Argentina's formation has become a three-midfielder, Chen Mo, Xiao Ma and Cambiaso's three-back midfielder, and Chen Mo's position has also retreated from the central midfielder to the central midfielder.
The results are outstanding.
Argentina is afraid of the opponent's long pass, mainly because the height is not enough.
How much is this not enough, the average height of the five is less than 1.8 meters, and the tallest is Otamendi who is 1.83 meters.
This height can't defend against high-altitude balls at all, but the situation is different after Chen Mo retreats.
Chen Mo is 1.86 meters, the confrontation and bounce are first-class, with his retreat air defense, Argentina's air defense pressure is much smaller.
Brother Xiao Ma and Cambiaso swept left and right to intercept, Chen Mo dragged behind in the middle, and in the face of this iron wall, Rao is Mexican all rushed out desperately, but there was still no good effect.
On the contrary, because they pressed out, in the 87th minute of the game, Di Maria also found a chance to run a single knife.
In the end, as the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was also fixed at 3-0 amid the cheers of the fans in the stadium.
.
defeated Mexico 3-0, and after the game, it was naturally blown by various news media, and this time their spotlight was basically on Messi, who completed 21 attempts to break through and 17 breakthroughs in the whole game!
17 breakthroughs!
80% breakthrough success rate!
This data is extremely terrifying, and as soon as it was exposed by the media, it immediately set off a wave of discussion around the world!
For no other reason, Messi directly broke the world record!
Prior to this match, the World Cup single-game dribble record holder was "Flying Bird" Okocha who had 13 successful dribbles in a single game in the 94 World Cup and a success rate of 76%!
Further on, it was Cruyff in '74, with 12 dribbles and a success rate of 67%, and Cruyff staged the classic "Cruyff turn" in that game!
Further back, it was Maradona in 86, who had 12 successful dribbles in a single game, with a success rate of 63%, and the old horse staged the famous scene of "Hand of God" and "six people on the side" in that game against England!
And now, Messi has pushed this record to 17 times with an 80% success rate!
There is no doubt that this game will go down in history.
However, to be honest, the outside world is very hot, but in fact, Messi, as a party, is not too excited. It's just that on the night after knowing that the record was broken, I came to Chen Mo to eat barbecue.
Messi doesn't care too much about these records, and neither does Chen Mo.
In other words, it's not that the two don't care, but because the two have broken too many records, and they are used to these things.
What is the youngest Mr. hat-trick in the World Cup final, Mr. Hat-trick in the youngest Champions League final, the youngest European Golden Boot, what is the Premier League assist king six times in a row, and what is the La Liga Golden Boot four times in a row.
These titles are all all-time firsts.
Therefore, for this breakthrough record, in fact, the two of them didn't pay much attention to it, and even when the two took their respective families to eat barbecue, the main topic of conversation was still giving birth.
Yes, seeing that Chen Mo now has a pair of cute dragon and phoenix fetuses, and Klee is also pregnant, Messi has also begun to think about this aspect, and he and Antonella are already preparing for pregnancy.
Messi wants to be a father.
Naturally, he was ridiculed by Chen Mo, saying that it was better for the child not to bring Messi in the future, otherwise he would become a stuffy jar that was not pleasing to girls.
In this regard, Messi is naturally a backlash.
Chen Mo is living a very nourishing life, and the World Cup round of 16 is still going on.
After their match between Argentina and Mexico, this year's World Cup finally ushered in the first big game - Germany vs. England.
Germany has actually had a miserable life in recent years, although they played well in 06, but their domestic stars did usher in a group of talent breaks, which can be seen from the fact that Bayern did not qualify for the Champions League in 08.
But football is almost the same as life, with ups and downs.
After the trough of 0708, the German team, which has completed the renewal, is now showing signs of gaining momentum.
The goalkeeper position is the youngster Neuer in '86.
At the back there were Lahm in '83, Boateng in '88 and Hummels in the back.
The midfielders are Piggy in '84, Khedira in '87 and Ozil in '88.
Strikers Klose in '78, Bordoski in '85 and Muller in '89.
This lineup, either Bayern or Real Madrid, Real Madrid or Arsenal, belongs to the all-giant lineup, and the strength is very strong.
To be honest, even Chen Mo didn't want to bump into Germany too early.
It's not that I'm afraid, but I think it's better to play with Germany and Piggy Muller on a bigger stage.
However, there are people who do not believe in evil.
England is one of them.
Of course, England doesn't want to hit Germany in the round of 16, but England has lost itself by itself.
In the group stage, he drew with the United States and then Algeria, and forced himself to finish second in the group, only to bump into Germany in the round of 16.
England are not weak, but they can't play Germany.
England's midfielders have a duo of Germans, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, who may sound famous but useless.
Whether it is Gerrard or Frank Lampard, they are both impact midfielders, the strength is the vertical impact is strong, the weakness is the lack of organizational ability, and Germany plays 4231.
The double back is Piggy plus Khedira, who has a tough style, while Khedira is close to 1.9 meters tall.
They can't take advantage of the double German kick.
The middle can't be played, and the two in the middle are not playmakers, and the passing ability is not enough.
In this case, England under the 442 system needs wings to support, but England's full-back is not the top, and Germany's full-back is Lahm, who can compete for the first full-back in history.
You can't wear the middle lane, and you can't wear the side road.
And Germany is now playing 4231.
This formation is very strong in attacking the middle, especially Muller, who has a really strong ability to find opportunities near the top of the arc, but England does not have a top midfielder, and the ability to protect the top of the arc is not strong enough.
All the strengths were restrained by the German team, and in the face of the German team's strengths, there was nothing they could do.
There was no suspense, and the game was very cruel.
Even Chen Mo, who was holding his wife in the hotel to watch the game, shook his head and lamented that the German team was too heavy at the end of watching this game.
Well, the final score was 6:1.
In the midst of the world's uproar, under the watchful eyes of the tearful and bewildered England fans in the stands, the German team beat England 6-1.
The next morning, all the Dragon Kingdom fans who woke up and saw the news were stunned!
Massacre!
The German fans were excited, the England fans were in tears, the Dragons fans were confused, and the Argentine fans were confused
It's nervous and expectant!
Germany and Argentina belong to the same top half!
Argentina will face Germany in the quarterfinals!
