Chapter 176: Classics vs. Classics
Although the manager did not give clear instructions, England involuntarily played a defensive counter-attack after taking the lead.
Argentina was clearly starting to get nervous, and the attack looked a little chaotic after the start of the game, and England planted heavy troops in the midfield, making it very difficult for them to move forward, and even Messi frequently retreated to touch the ball, and the situation on the field fell into a stalemate for a while.
In addition to the fans of the two countries, the most concerned about this game is naturally the German team, which has already taken the lead in reaching the final.
Every German player watched the game intently, whispering their opinions from time to time.
This World Cup is too evil, strong teams overturned, dark horses are rampant, but the final four are basically within the range that everyone can predict, but if you want to pick out the weakest one from the top four, there is no doubt that England.
Before the game, the Germans basically regarded Argentina as their imaginary opponent in the final, but they didn't expect that Argentina fell into a comprehensive disadvantage before the first half was halfway through.
"Lin Yun ......"
The German team is basically based on Bayern players, and almost all of them have been abused by Lin Yun into Jiaozuo, so they still know very well how perverted this guy is.
But England is not Arsenal, Germany is not Bayern Munich, the World Cup is not the Champions League, here, the power of the individual is infinitely weakened, only a mature and strong team can create brilliance, but obviously, the appearance of Lin Yun broke all this.
But even Lin Yun was cautious at this time, not daring to launch an offensive casually, but cautiously retreating to participate in the defense.
The game seemed to be the way it should be in the semi-finals again, dull and boring.
The Argentine fans on the sidelines began to lose patience and kept chanting Messi's name, and from time to time they could hear sounds like "Di Maria" and "Aguero".
Messi didn't know if it was intense, and soon a wave broke out.
He was cruising down the middle and suddenly pulled to the wing, and Zabaleta immediately passed the ball over.
Wilshere's mind has always been on Messi, and he has been entangled in it, but the most talented dribbling master on the planet, this level of pressing does not bother Messi, and when he turns to receive the ball, he even gives people the feeling that there is no defender around him at all.
The movement was fast and steady, without any dragging, just the left foot to lead the ball, half turned, and then with a quick toe shake, the football followed his body towards the edge of the penalty area.
Each movement is so simple that it feels like you just need to have feet, but the truth is that you can only find one such person in the whole world.
Thunder in the silence.
Even Lineker couldn't help but marvel again.
"Studies have shown that Messi's cadence is as high as 4.4 Hz. In layman's terms, Messi can run 4.4 steps per second.
Maybe you don't know what this concept is, the most intuitive comparison is that the cadence of the 100-meter flyer Bolt is only 4.2 Hz, and the fastest sprinter Powell is only 4.4 Hz, that is to say, Messi's running frequency has reached the level of top track and field athletes.
During this period, Messi also has to control the ball at his feet, change the direction of progress at any time, and observe the movement of opponents and teammates......"
In the midst of his bragging, Messi had already passed Baines and Raheem Sterling, and then moved to the middle of the pitch with a Robben-style inside cut.
Ravic and Higuain entered the box and flanked goal, while Messi was quick to adjust and face the goal.
With his ability, he can create a threat whether he passes or shoots.
Three Lions fans around the world are already so nervous that their livers are pounding like deer.
Lin Yun's gaze in the front court quickly swept his gaze, and finally followed Gerrard's movement.
It's up to you......
Gerrard lived up to expectations, coming to his side just before Messi was about to get up and making a cross-tackle.
Messi couldn't dodge and was put to the ground.
As soon as the hearts of the English were put down, the sudden shrill whistle made their hearts hang on a tightrope again.
"Toot !!!"
Rodriguez, the referee from Mexico, ran over quickly and did not hesitate to pull out the first Topaz card of the game.
"Yellow card, free kick!"
A verdict that caused dissatisfaction among fans on both sides at the same time.
"Fake fall! Swindler! β
"Red card! Penalty kick! β
"Messi fell on the line of the penalty area, but the referee only awarded a free kick and gave Gerrard a yellow card, Gerrard did not protest, and it seems that he also knew that it was impossible for him to foul without a card......
Gerrard walked into the box with a blank face and Messi was pulled up by Higuain.
Players from both sides quickly arrived in England's half and faced the free-kick with great caution and extreme proximity.
"Messi has scored 41 free kicks since his debut, the most recent being against Nigeria in the group stage of this World Cup!
England had just scored from a free-kick and wondered if Messi and Argentina would be able to return the same colour in the same way......"
From the perspective of neutral fans, everyone still hopes that Messi can score this goal, which will undoubtedly make the sense of fate of "Lin Yun VS Messi" stronger, but even if Messi's fans boast all day long that Messi can kick a free kick as a penalty, everyone knows that no matter who it is, the success rate of free kicks is there, and it is already efficient to score four or five goals in a season, and this thing really can't be counted on at critical moments.
Of course, what should be expected is still to be expected, and at this moment, in addition to the England fans, almost the whole world is watching the game with Argentinians.
Lin Yun walked into the penalty area and lined up with Sterling, Cahill and others, but he deliberately stood on the farthest side of the wall to ensure that he could rush out and fight back at any time.
Joe Hart was more cautious than ever, constantly observing Messi's position and reaching out to direct his teammates' positions.
At this moment, all the fans around the globe stopped what they were doing.
Everyone wondered if after a few dozen seconds, it was the Argentine who was partying or Messi holding his head and sighing.
Lin Yun was also staring at Messi closely, but not at Messi's face, but at his left foot.
When the whistle blew, Messi looked up, ran up, and hit the goal.
The ball drilled between Cahill and Wilshere, and Lin Yun suddenly turned around and rushed in the direction of the goal.
He judged the right direction of Messi's shot, and subconsciously wanted to block the ball, but how could a person run faster than the ball.
At this time, one can only count on Joe. Hart, but Joe. Hart was much more than he was.
The football was ready to arrive at his doorstep, and he still didn't react.
The good thing was that the post was on England's side today.
With a "bang", all the English people came to life.
But that's not all.
The ball that bounced off the post flew straight towards Higuain.
Glenn. Johnson was half a second slower to react and Higuain had already rushed up and calmly pushed into the corner.
Joe Hart reacted this time.
As if as a matter of routine, he bent down slightly......
The England fans on the sidelines couldn't bear to look at them directly, but a figure suddenly rushed to the goal like lightning.
Fall to the ground, sliding tackle, save!
"Lin Yun! Goalline Rescue !! β
"Oh~~ It's a pity! Both Messi and Higuain have a chance to be heroes, but the goalpost and Lin Yun ruined it all! β
Exclamations, sighs, and shouts rang out from the stands at the same time.
Joe. Hart reacted very quickly at this time, and immediately ran over and wanted to pull Lin Yun up, but Lin Yun had already supported his hands and ran out of the goal quickly.
The ball that he blocked came to Gerrard's feet, and Gerrard immediately kicked the ball to the side as if he had received some hot potato.
Baines sprints a few steps, catches the ball, and dashes forward.
Rooney, Raheem Sterling and Welbeck immediately ran forward and fired four arrows together with Baines.
The Argentine players quickly returned to the defense.
To the reassurance of Argentine fans on the sidelines, although the England team's counterattack looked suffocating, their own players did not appear to be significantly out of position, and this wave of defense should not be a big problem...... Right?
"Baines dribbled the ball on the flank, England counter-attacked quickly! Oblique Rooney, received! Rooney burst forward with the ball, Mascherano was pressing close and slowed down! Pity...... Lin Yun?! Isn't he in the goal? β
Rooney failed to break through the little pony for the first time, and the England team's footsteps were stumped, and they were about to miss this counterattack opportunity, but Lin Yun suddenly rushed up from behind.
Rooney was overjoyed and played the ball quickly.
Lin Yun didn't stop the ball and directly picked up the pass.
The football flew over the heads of Mascherano and Rooney and flew ahead.
Rooney turned around and sprinted forward with the perfect fit after the pass, and the ball landed exactly in his direction, as exactly as he expected.
Wayne Rooney catches up with the ball and crosses diagonally to Welbeck.
Welbeck dribbled the ball wide and flew straight to the bottom line.
Lin Yun struggled to attack and quickly rushed into the Argentine team's penalty area.
Welbeck glanced up and made two feints in quick succession to deceive Cairojo's centre of gravity with a cross.
Lin Yun jumped high and headed the goal.
Lin Yun mastered the ball quite beautifully, whether it was running or shooting timing, but Welbeck's pass was somewhat outrageous.
Lin Yun had already struggled to jump to the top, but he could only barely rub into the lower part of the football.
The ball crossed the crossbar with the English sighing of regret, and Lin Yun slammed headlong into the goal again.
From one goal to the next, it took him less than half a minute......
"Welbeck crossed, Lin Yun headed the goal, but unfortunately, it was high, and England also missed a great opportunity!"
"When the game was deadlocked, it was really up to Messi and Lin Yun to make the scene lively, but unfortunately, neither of them could break through the other party's gate.
Lin Yun is not only very active on the offensive end, but also makes a great contribution on the defensive end, if it weren't for his goal-line rescue, the score on the field would have become a draw now. β
'Ravic seemed to be protesting to the referee, he thought Higuain's shot had gone in, was that really the case? Let's see the replay...... It can be seen clearly from this shot that the football has been blocked by Lin Yun before it even touches the goal line, this goal does not exist, ouch, Lin Yun is really desperate to save this time, he almost hit the goalpost......"
Romero walked towards Lin Yun and reached out to pull him up.
Lin Yun patted him on the shoulder and left the Argentine penalty area in silence.
Rooney said regretfully: "Don't you go in? β
"I can only jump, not fly."
"He should pass it back to me, and I'll pass it on!"
"It's all over, I'm going to summarize it and wait until the game is over...... And I very much doubt that even if I pass it to you, it will only be a! β
"No, how can you look at me like that, I'm going to pass it on to you, you know, I love assists, assists make me happy."
ββ¦β¦β
After these two waves of danger, the two sides fought more cowardly.
Lin Yun and Welbeck switched positions, putting him at the front, and he returned to the midfield to participate in the organization and defense.
This put him and Messi in the opposite position.
Both of them are not good at defense, and they are both the most wrestling masters in today's football, so naturally they can't expect the two of them to fight for 300 rounds and are inseparable.
Forty-five minutes of the first half were about to pass, the referee gave two minutes of stoppage time, and now the score is still 1-0, and England temporarily leads Argentina thanks to Lin Yun's goal.
The threat created by both teams in the first half was relatively limited, with just seven shots combined from both sides...... Look at this ball!! β
The two sides fought fiercely in midfield, with Wilshere turning to protect the ball and passing back to Gerrard.
Gerrard caught a glimpse of Mascherano out of the corner of his eye, but before he could stop it, a small threatening pass was in front of him.
He hurried two steps forward, but it was too late.
Mascherano made a decisive and swift tackle and managed to break the ball before Gerrard could receive it.
didn't bother to get up, and stabbed the ball directly at the bottom of his foot and stabbed the ball towards Messi.
Baines immediately stepped forward to intercept, but Messi seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time, receiving the ball while taking advantage of the situation, and the football rolled directly behind Baines.
Lin Yun knew it was going to be bad at first glance.
Higuain and Ravic held back Glenn respectively. Johnson and Jagielka, after Messi passed Baines, the only one who could intercept him head-on was Gary. Cahill.
Stopping Messi one-on-one, I don't know how many tons of incense to burn......
Gary. Cahill also knew what he was, and he didn't dare to sit still in the penalty area, but rushed out quickly, and he had already made up his mind to stop Messi even if he received a yellow card.
But the yellow card is not something you can eat if you want to.
His tackles are fast and hard enough, but Messi's moves are faster and smarter.
It was again a flick and a button without any fireworks, and the last obstacle was overcome.
Glenn. Johnson and Jagielka didn't care about Higuain and Ravic at this time, and hurried over to defend Messi.
Messi has no ink, past Gary. Neville immediately lifted his left foot and rubbed it quickly.
Lin Yun just chased behind him, and Messi had already finished shooting.
The ball took off about half a metre from the line of the penalty area, drew a distinct arc in the air, and flew towards the top right corner of the England gate.
Joe. Hart had already reacted the moment Messi shot the goal, and also judged the right direction and the way of the ball, but Lin Yun knew that it was not saved at a glance.
Football in Joe. Hart's hand flew into the net before he could pounce, 1-1.
England's lead lasted for almost half an hour before it came to naught before the break.
Lin Yun couldn't close the momentum and hit Messi's back all of a sudden.
Messi had just finished hitting the goal, and when he was unstable on his feet, he immediately fell forward.
Lin Yun's eyes were quick, and he quickly reached out to grab Messi's jersey before he fell to the ground and pulled him back.
Messi glanced back and rushed to the sideline in joy.
The other Argentine players swarmed up and cheered wildly around him.
βGOALοΌοΌοΌοΌ Messi! Messi! Messi! After connecting two people, the curling ball from outside the penalty area hit the goal, a typical Messi-style goal! Argentina tied the score!! β
"Alas, England was careless, there were low-level mistakes, Wilshere could have been a little bolder, but he still chose to pass back, and as a result, he gave Argentina a chance to see if Hodgson would make any adjustments in the second half......"
The camera focuses on the two sides in the stands.
Lao Ma, Barty, Aimar and others were ecstatic, jumping and jumping like ordinary fans, while Beckham, Owen, Scholes and others on the other side pursed their lips and couldn't say a word.
Wilshire covered his mouth with his hands, as if he still couldn't accept that something stupid would happen to him.
Lin Yun walked over, hugged his shoulders and shook him fiercely, "Forget about it, you still have time to prove yourself!" It's happened, and now it's about how to remedy it, instead of complaining about yourself here! β
"I understand...... Wilshire rubbed his face hard, "I don't want to be a sinner......
"Then save yourself!"
Wilshere nodded vigorously, but he clearly went too far, and received a yellow card for the scramble once the game restarted.
As a result, both of England's midfielders have a topaz stuck on their bodies.
Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson in the stands shook their heads at the same time.
Therefore, it is not for nothing that a small threat can only be a small threat, and the Arsenal prince has always been a prince, in addition to talent, there are too many things he needs to strengthen......
ββ¦β¦ Wilshere pulled down Messi and gifted the Argentine a free-kick up front, and he needs to calm down now, or Hodgson should help him calm down, such as Henderson or Milner might be a better option at this time. β
Hodgson was also caught in a dilemma.
He did have the intention of replacing Wilshere at the start of the second half, but that was if England were ahead.
Now that Argentina has equalized the score, England must strengthen their offensive in the second half, and Wilshere is indispensable at this time, after all, the tacit understanding with Lin Yun is almost the first in the team......
The free kick of the Argentine team was still Messi's penalty, but this time Messi kicked the ball directly into the stands, and the two sides quickly walked into the dressing room with a score of 1-1.
Fans hurried to take advantage of this rare fifteen minutes to solve the problem, after all, the next 45 minutes or even 75 minutes must be a bloody moment to hold the pee.
In the locker room, the atmosphere was a little oppressive.
Whether it is the score or the process, the performance of both sides can only be said to be evenly matched.
In response to the predictions of many fans, it is a game that can lag behind more than Lin Yun and Messi's teammates.
Gonzalo Higuain missed a half-chance and Raheem Sterling fired a shot that almost went to his mouth, before Wilshere made a mistake in returning the ball to keep Argentina levelised.
Hodgson said in a deep voice: "Cheer up! You don't deserve to be in the World Cup final! It's time to fight hard! Don't think about extra-time, don't think about penalty shoot-outs, we only have 45 minutes left! Do your best, then take out the damn German team and go home with the Hercules Cup! β
Gerard didn't come out to boost morale, as if he was still considering the wording, Lin Yun's voice sounded first.
"It's a rare opportunity, brothers...... The World Cup is held every four years, but we don't necessarily get to the semi-finals once every four years.
This is my first World Cup, but for many of you, this may be the last.
The goal is there, the win is there, the final is there, it's close and it's far away, it's strong or weak, and it's all up to us.
No one can guarantee that they will always be winners, football is a game with only one winner, and I just hope that even if we have to play three or four finals after this game, I can leave this stadium with my head held high......"
"Actually, even if the game is over now, you can walk away with your head held high, but we can't yet!"
Gerald finally found the conversation, patted Lin Yun on the shoulder and looked at everyone.
"Brothers, don't waste Lin's efforts, and don't let down your career!
There are billions of people on the whole planet, but in the end there are only a few hundred people who can stand on this stage, and there are tens of millions of people in the whole of England, but in the end we are the only ones who can wear this shirt to represent England!
Together, go brave and fight, remember, we ...... Never walk alone! β
"Fight!"
"Victory!"
"Fight it!"
"Never Walk Alone......"
After the game, Hodgson seized the time to assign the task, but judging from the first half, there seemed to be nothing to adjust in terms of tactics, he Rory was chattering for more than ten minutes, and the overall requirements were just a few: reduce low-level mistakes, cherish every opportunity, and ...... When he really didn't know what to do, he passed the ball to Lin Yun's position.
Fifteen minutes passed, and the players from both sides returned to the pitch again.
There was no intention of playing extra time, and the second half was very intense at the beginning.
On the England side, Lin Yun still blew the horn of attack.
In the 47th minute of the game, Rooney passed back, Wilshere picked up the pass over the top, and Lin Yun volleyed directly without stopping the ball.
The ball flew almost forty metres away and was trudled out by Romero in the Argentine's fearful eyes.
ββ¦β¦ Lin Yun volleyed in a high-quality world wave, Romero saved the team again, and England were awarded a corner. β
Players from both sides entered the penalty area, and Rojo and Demichelis sandwiched Lin Yun in the middle.
The two of them, one experienced and the other young, just complemented each other, but they were still very difficult to face Lin Yun, but fortunately, the football passed by Gerrard did not fly towards them, but accurately found Rooney's bald head.
Rooney had just jumped up and screamed before he could hit the ball with a header and fell to the ground with Biglia.
The ball flew to the back post and Sterling and Zabaleta rushed towards the ball together.
Lin Yun stumbled in position, blocking Zabaleta's footsteps and allowing Raheem Sterling to get in front of the ball first.
Happy boys don't want to be happy right now, they just want to score goals.
Seeing that Romero was about to come to the save, Sterling fell to the ground very decisively and completed a difficult sweep.
The ball flew off the ground and towards the right side of the goal.
Romero reached out in a panic and barely touched the football, which changed its trajectory and hit Enzo. Perez's body was cleared by the latter's big foot.
Sterling scrambled to his feet from the ground, raised his hand, and shouted incoherently, "Handball!" The football hit his hand! Penalty kick! Penalty kick! β
Lin Yun also looked at the referee, "He handballed!" Penalty kick! β
In fact, he just shouted a few times, knowing that the referee could not award a penalty.
Football did play in Enzo. Perez's arm, but Perez's arm has been close to his body, and even if he doesn't block it, the ball will only fly out of the bottom line, so the referee has no reason not to judge.
On the other side, Zabaleta has something to say.
He believes that Lin Yun's blocking and demolition action just now should not appear on the football field, and England's No. 9 should have received five red cards.
Argentina had already played a quick counter-attack, and the referee did not have time to pull with them, and had already run after the football.
Messi kicked the ball, Ravic received the ball and went one-two with Higuain, quickly advancing the ball into the England half.
England's defenders are desperately trying to catch up, but they still can't stop the Argentine.
At the crucial moment, Wilshere finally proved himself, keeping the ball out of bounds just as Messi was about to make a fatal pass.
'England couldn't take advantage of the corners to get the scoreline and Argentina's counter-attack was disrupted by Wilshere, so the second half was very fast-paced.
What made Argentine fans feel uneasy was that Lin Yun was still active in the second half, while Messi seemed to be invisible, and there was no outstanding performance for a long time.
In the 51st minute, Glenn. After Johnson made a successful steal, he passed diagonally to Lin Yun, and Lin Yun kicked the ball out and accurately sent the ball in front of Rooney.
Wayne Rooney followed up with a shot that missed the target.
In the 55th minute, Welbeck picked up a pass from the edge of the penalty area, and Lin Yun put an upside-down golden hook under the bag of Rojo and Demichelis and smashed the ball into Romero's arms.
In the 60th minute, Argentina made a quick pass in England's half, and finally Ravitch sent the ball to the stands.
Savilla couldn't sit still and was the first to make a substitution.
Sergio Aguero came out with a long wait, replaced by the inactive Lavic.
"Sergio Aguero is finally on the pitch! It's a pity that Di Maria couldn't be in the squad due to injury, otherwise we would have seen Argentina's strongest squad! β
I don't know if it was activated by the play of a good friend, Messi suddenly became active.
Raheem Sterling and Wayne Rooney's back-to-back teamwork smashed the ball and the ball was broken by Zabaleta, and Argentina played a quick counter-attack.
The football was sent to the feet of Messi.
Wilshire didn't dare to fight alone, and waited until Gerrard came to support before killing Messi together, but Messi easily slipped out of the gap between them.
Both of them had cards on their bodies, and they didn't dare to make any excessive moves, so they could only watch Messi fly out.
Hodgson shook his head, but he didn't bother to move Wilshere, just tilted his head and said to the assistant coach, "Let Lampard get ready to play." β
In fact, what he wanted most was Sterling.
With Lin Yun and Rooney at the forefront to attract firepower, this should have been the time when a young talent like Sterling came out of nowhere and became famous, but unfortunately, the opportunity was given, but Sterling was completely useless.
At first, everyone thought that Sterling could take on a role similar to Di Maria next to Messi, holding up England when Lin Yun was being targeted, but now it seems that he can't even be Higuain.
has talent, aura, and skill, and is burdened with the expectations of thousands of people, but he just can't!
There was still a Chamberlain sitting on the bench, but unfortunately it was half a pound and two with Sterling.
If Walcott is not injured, he can go up and rush a wave, but unfortunately, this little tiger is made of glass, and he applied for VIP directly on the hospital bed, and the time to recuperate from his injuries throughout the year is almost longer than the time he is healthy.
Messi slowed down after passing Wilshere and Gerrard, so Hodgson had time to think about some messy things, and everyone thought that Messi's solo performance would probably end there, but Messi controlled the ball and spun around twice and then suddenly went to the side.
'Messi didn't seem to be in great shape today, which should be a good thing for England... Vanish... Messi has three people in a row! Four people! It's so crazy that the English can't even stop him with a pull! β
Messi unleashed a Limbo microstep past Wilshere, Gerrard, Bynes and Gary. Cahill.
"This ball ......"
"Goal of the century?"
It's hard not to think of Messi's course of action, the "best goal in World Cup history" scored by five men in a row.
Between Messi and the goal, there are still Jagielka, Glenn. Johnson and Joe. Hart.
But Jagielka was pinned down by Aguero and couldn't pull away at all.
Fortunately, Higuain is still dragging behind, otherwise even Glenn. Johnson is also going to be taken away.
Glenn. Johnson also knew that he was now carrying the hope of the whole village, so he carefully pressed his weight in front of Messi.
He didn't dare to rush up and grab it, so he could only wait for the support of his teammates.
Do not seek merit, but seek no fault.
How could Messi rub shoulders with him......
As soon as his shoulders sank, he flicked the inside of his left foot slightly, and he was about to change direction and kill him.
Glenn. Johnson's brain kept telling him to feint and feint, don't go over, don't go over, but his body still shook disobediently with Messi's movements.
And then it's over......
Messi's left foot touched the ball twice in quick succession in just half a second, deftly brushing past the last line of the England's defence.
Joe. Hart struck decisively and pounced on Messi with great momentum.
Messi didn't lift his eyelids, and his left foot was lightly raised.
A rainbow seemed to rise in front of the England team's goal, and the football drew a wonderful parabola. Hart flew over his head and landed towards the goal behind him.
βGOALοΌοΌοΌοΌ Messi beat five people in a row and scored with a pick!! β
"In the 62nd minute of the game, the Argentine team overtook the score! Messi scored twice, and the balance of victory was in favor of Argentina! β
Messi's face, which had been tense, finally stretched out after the football crossed the line, turning into an excited smile.
Sergio Aguero was the first to rush over, and the two men joined hands and rushed to the sidelines, celebrating wildly.
In the stands, Maradona excitedly waved the scarf in his hand and shouted something loudly.
The commentator of Argentine television was excited to make a controversial remark.
"Messi has won the Ballon d'Or four times and has won almost all the accolades at club level, and if this World Cup can lead Argentina to the top, he will become the third biggest player in the history of world football!"
"Messi recreated Maradona's masterpiece once again, dribbling the ball from midfield, connecting five defenders of England and sending the ball into the England net!
Maradona is undoubtedly the brightest star on the World Cup stage, and he has left many miracles on the World Cup stadium with his epoch-making skills, the most talked about are the Hand of God and the goal of the century, and the victims of both goals are England!
Now, Messi has once again brutally torn open the wounds of the English!
1-2, they are only half an hour away from the World Cup final!
England need heroes! Gerrard! Rooney! Lin Yun! They must ...... Ay? Gerrard was substituted?! What did Hodgson think? β
When it comes to Steven Gerrard, of course, everyone thinks of Liverpool, and when it comes to Liverpool, everyone thinks of all kinds of reversals.
And you replaced Steven Gerrard when you needed it most, which was a bit of a puzzle.
Of course, there are those who have the opposite view.
"Gerrard and Wilshere should have stopped Messi as soon as possible, but they both had yellow cards on their backs, which made them have to be more cautious and conservative when defending, which gave Messi a chance, and Hodgson's substitution was still too late!"
Gerrard scurried to the sidelines, quickly took off the captain's armband and brought it to Lampard's arm, before slapping it hard.
Shuangde glanced at each other, and a thousand words were all in the words.
Frank Lampard beckoned Welbeck and Raheem Sterling over, gave him an urgent remonstrance, and then called in two more full-backs, but before he could speak, he saw the sideline substitution card raised again.
Bynes down, Luke. Xiao on.
This is an emergency substitution.
Bynes shrugged his shoulders and trotted to the sidelines, bringing Luke Bush to the sideline. Shaw was replaced.
Argentina's coaching staff also got busy after the celebration, with several key players called to the sidelines to receive instructions.
The game started again, and Argentina shrank their defense as expected.
England pressed hard.
Luke. Shaw was instructed by Hodgson to play quite aggressively, almost becoming a wing-back or even a winger, and put on a dazzling performance as soon as he touched the ball.
ββ¦β¦ Luke. Xiao Ren's ball is divided! Biglia can't do anything about him! Look no further than Mascherano! β
Mascherano was just grabbed by Luke. Shaw changed direction to dodge, but he did not let the England defender pass, but decisively reached out and pulled the opponent back.
"Beep!"
The referee took out the cards while running, and Brother Pony liked to mention a topaz card.
Frank Lampard came up and patted Luke. Shaw's shoulder gestured of encouragement, and then quickly set the ball up.
'England won a free-kick on the left, see what Lampard will do......
Lin Yun and Wayne Rooney lay ambush on the left and right sides of the wall respectively, and immediately rushed to the goal after Lampard's free-kick was issued, but unfortunately Lan 8's goal was a little higher and he didn't even give a chance to make up for it.
Argentina began to put the buses in their own half, leaving only one Aguero in front.
On the sidelines, Argentine midfielder Fernando. Gago was already warming up, which made the Englishman even more anxious.
"Gago is ready to play, if nothing else, he should replace Higuain, Argentina need to strengthen the control of the midfield......"
The England players on the pitch started to mess around a bit.
Rooney, Raheem Sterling and Frank Lampard not only failed to threaten three anti-aircraft guns in a row, but instead drew a burst of laughter from Argentine fans on the sidelines.
Lin Yun frowned rarely, and couldn't help but shout, "What are you guys doing?!" Calm down! Calm down! All TMD calm me down! β
Frank Lampard was ashamed, quickly took a deep breath, and clapped his hands vigorously, "Be calm, don't mess around!" The two centre-backs fancy their strikers and we can't concede any more goals! β
Argentina's goal kick, Savilla really replaced Higuain with Gago.
Argentina changed the formation to 4-4-2, but Messi's position has always been flexible, so it is not impossible to treat it as 4-5-1.
England were also ready to make adjustments, but it was clear that Hodgson was also undecided, as Sturridge and Oxlade-Chamberlain were called to the sidelines by him, but he was slow to decide who to play.
Romero kicked the ball to Zabaleta and Argentina cautiously pushed along the wing.
After a long time, it took most of the football half time to pass.
Messi picked up speed in the middle and rushed towards the England penalty area with Sergio Aguero.
Gago immediately made a long pass to Messi.
