At 12 o'clock in the morning Beijing time on June 15, the Chinese team finally ushered in the first game of the group stage. In my personal opinion, if it is a weak team, it will be better to play a strong team in this kind of game system, although there is a high probability of losing, but at least the team is more open, and it can also help the players find their form as soon as possible. If teams of the same level are fighting each other at the same level, it is difficult to ensure that the players are in the best state mentally and physically.

In other words, Argentina is really rushing to win the championship this time, Maradona even persuaded Redondo, who had withdrawn from the national team because of the team's "shaving order", to return, plus the rotation of Almeida and Simeone, the Argentine team's waist is probably one of the hardest in this Cup. The combination of Batistuta and Crespo in the front line is also a king, and if you want to say that Argentina's shortcomings in this game can only be their backline.

Argentina started the game:

Goalkeeper: Roa

Defenders: Ayala, Jose. Chamot, Zanetti

Defenders: Redondo, Almeida

Forwards: Veron, Maradona, Ortega

Forwards: Batistuta, Crespo

The head coach of the Argentine team is Maradona's teammate who helped Argentina win the Hercules Cup in 86, which sounds awkward, but it is true. Passarella is also a former captain of Argentina, and this is an interesting man, he played as a centre-back when he was younger, and then he scored 134 goals with overhead kicks in 440 games, which is much better than some strikers. As an attacking centre-back, Passarella pays great attention to the team's defense and has a series of strict team rules, such as the aforementioned "shaving order".

Passarella also did a lot of strange things when he was a player, such as stuffing into his teammates' keyholes, and secretly letting the team reimburse his phone bill, but the glory of the 86 World Cup veteran is also thanks to Passarella, it was his goal against Peru in the world preliminaries that sent Argentina to the World Cup.

In any case, this Argentine team is stronger than the Argentine national team that fell in the quarterfinals in 98 in the previous life, and it is difficult for the Chinese team to win. But it's precisely this kind of game that has no suspense that allows the players to play to their heart's content and see how big the gap between themselves and the world's top teams really is.

Before the game, the coaching staff studied with Li Boen for more than an hour, and finally determined that the Chinese team would play 3 back midfielders in this game, and the defensive counterattack would be carried out to the end. Counterattacks are not considered for the time being, but the defense must be played well. In the end, the starting of the Chinese team in this game was determined as follows:

Goalkeeper: Ou Chuliang

Defenders: Wu Chengying, Fan Zhiyi, Zhang Enhua, Zheng Dongqi

Back: Sun Jihai, Li Boen, Jia Wenpeng

Forward: Peng Weijun, Peng Weiguo

Forward: Li Jinyu

Zheng Dongqi, who is double 5 feet, is placed on the right side, and his task is to help defend the middle, and use speed to advance through the half court for the first time in the counterattack. Sun Jihai is placed on the left because of the strong breakthrough ability of Ortega on the opposite side, and Jia Wenpeng is better at defending players like Veron, who are slightly less athletic but have deep passing skills. Needless to say, the 96 value is aimed at Maradona, who has a 98 value, which is also the strongest point of the Chinese team. Yang Chen did not go up the front line because the speed of Zanetti and Ayala of Argentina's 3 central defenders is not slow, Yang Chen and they do not have a big speed advantage, not to mention that the current Yang Chen has not been baptized by the Bundesliga, it is better to let Li Jinyu, who has stronger skills and ability to seize opportunities, go up, and at the same time, Da Yu is more familiar with the style of defenders in South America.

In the warm-up activities before the start of the game, Crespo came to his eldest brother and Peng Da to chat for a while, and the young man said that he must strive to score more than two goals today. The three of them were chatting, and the old horse also came over, first praised the treatment provided by the teenager, and then tactfully expressed that he would not release water in this game. Li Byrne secretly laughed in his heart, old horse, old horse, it is true that you have recovered to the peak, but the little brother is not the self he was when he was in the South American Club Cup. To be honest, being able to confront the strongest players in the world, the teenager is also enthusiastic at this time.

The handicap of this game is very strange, Argentina concedes 2.5 goals, which means that no matter how you press, a draw does not exist, but can Argentina really score 3? Look at the two people on the central axis of the Chinese team, it's hard to say.

The game started on time and Argentina kicked off first in the first half. Crespo received the ball and passed it directly to Zanetti, and Argentina began to patiently reverse their feet in the midfield, and Veron and Ortega received the ball twice and passed it back at the first time. The Chinese team was not very active in the front court, Peng Da Peng Er and Li Jinyu just stood in their own position, and the opponent ran lazily up a few steps when he got the ball.

The defense of the Chinese team is tight inside, don't look at Argentina is also carelessly controlling the ball and constantly falling down, in fact, both sides tacitly know that Argentina is waiting for the loophole in the Chinese team's defense and then hit a fatal blow. Ball games are the same, and strong teams are good at taking advantage of the change of pace on the field to create scoring opportunities, which is why some teams have no choice but to do anything when they run into an opponent's bus. There are not many offensive methods, the same rhythm, the defenders know at a glance whether the opponent is going to pass or shoot next, this kind of ball is often just a good scene, and the momentum is not scored.

In the 9th minute of the first half, after Veron passed the ball back to Zanetti on the left, the Inter captain made a long lateral pass and handed the ball to Redondo on the right side of the middle, who took two steps forward and passed it back to Zanetti before Peng Weijun stepped up. Zanetti then saw Barty pull back from the penalty line to ask for the ball and slashed over the top to the top. The attacker's three midfielders and the defender's three midfielders also turned at the same time, and Barty had to ferry Crespo on the front line or Maradona behind him because of the distance of the ball. After a brief moment of consideration, Barty made a clear head move to the left before the ball fell, and the old horse gestured to start the response from the right side of Lee Byrne, and the tacit feint of the two deceived the teenager's defense. After seeing Li Byrne's center of gravity go out, the old horse quickly half-turned and leaned against the young man's body and went back to the middle side to receive Barty's header.

Just when Barty had just put the ball down and the old horse was about to start, the boy jumped high and stretched out his long legs and barely kicked the ball straight into the sky with a side hook, and the boy quickly got up by taking advantage of the ball's time in the air. So in the live broadcast camera, I saw Barty, Li Byrne and Maradona looked up at the rapidly falling football at the same time, the ball was about 3 meters high when Lee Byrne suddenly raised his hands high to protect the ball between his arms, this time Barty jumped up and couldn't top the ball, and the victory simply gave up the fight, just waited for the ball to hit the ground and then stretched out his feet to grab it.

When Li Byrne landed and the ball was only about waist height, the boy stretched out his hands between the god of war and the king of the ball to hold the football from below. The referee was next to him, and Barty didn't react for a moment to what Lee Byrne was going to do. While the two were stunned, Li Byrne raised his right knee and slid the ball out towards the Argentine half, followed by himself and quickly turned around to start, and when he broke through, he didn't forget to turn sideways and make a one-handed bow to the old horse.

The stadium erupted in screams and applause, and fans around the world burst into cheers in front of the television. It's so handsome, this is amazing! And also against two of the world's top players.

Running at full speed, it was difficult for a defender to intercept without fouling, and Almeida made the mistake of passing the left back of the Argentine team with just a croquette, and then distributed it to Peng Er on his left before Redondo stepped up. Argentina's defense is not vegetarian, Ayala stuck Peng Er's breakthrough line early on, although it was the first time to participate in the World Cup, Peng Weijun was calm. The hard-won counterattack opportunity could not be cut off by the opponent like this, so the Peng brothers completed a connection, and the ball flew over the head of Li Byrne in the middle and landed accurately at the feet of Peng Da.

Peng Weiguo saw that Li Jinyu in the front line was activated, and when he was about to pass the ball, he found that Da Yu's half arm crossed the back line, and he had to give the ball back to Li Boen in the middle in a hurry. Chamot and Redondo sealed the space in front of and behind the teenager for the first time, and it seems that the Argentines are also quite afraid of the teenager's long-range shot.

Next, Li Byrne stepped on the bicycle seven times in a row, and Chamot was also experienced, so he didn't look at the other party's feet at all, and his eyes were fixed on the upper body of the young man. Suddenly, Leeborn's center of gravity leaned to the right, and Chamot followed suit, and then the boy's right foot pulled back, and the outside of his left foot flicked to the left side, flashing half of his body. Seeing that Chamot was about to block the shooting route again, the teenager circled the back of his body with his right foot and left leg as the axis, and shot with a flower foot! Chamot's close defense just blocked goalkeeper Moah's view.

The ball went straight into the corner, but unfortunately the ball was a little slower, and Moa picked it off and picked it up before it flew over the goal line.

Although the attack did not score, the audience still generously gave a tidal wave of applause for Li Bourne's wonderful performance. Is this the level of Chinese players right now? You say that the Brazilian team has people who believe it!

The Nigerian and Jamaican staff in the stands were also constantly recording the performance of the players of both teams on the field. Lao Ma looked at Li Byrne, who quickly defended himself in the half, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't expect to meet an interesting opponent in the first game of the group stage. This kid's progress is too fast! Then play seriously with him, and the fighting spirit of the old horse was also fully stimulated at this moment.
