"Kyle, can you hold on?"

In the first half, Kyle Walker was the main target of the opponent's attack, and his fitness declined very quickly in frequent encounters with Di Maria.

Kyle Walker nodded and said, "At this level, he will only be the first to have no physical fitness." ”

Southgate nodded and reminded: "But you have to be careful, Di Maria may be sent to consume you, there is no absolute chance, try not to step forward." ”

In the face of Di Maria's breakthrough, defense itself is a physically exhausting job, and if you take into account the offense, I am afraid that the first person without physical fitness will be Kyle Walker.

Good steel, to be used on the blade.

Southgate believes that now that both sides have figured out each other's skills and tactics, the next step is to test the manager's on-the-spot performance and the condition of the players.

Save your energy for the final match, which is the back hand of the England team.

In the second half, England kicked off.

Argentina's forward press was not intense, they mainly based in midfield and made interceptions.

The reason is simple, Messi also needs to conserve his strength.

De Paul, who studied at Atletico Madrid, has greatly improved his fitness and fighting ability, and is a barrier for the Argentine team's midfield.

With Messi not pressing enough, Maguire can easily take the ball at the back and pass the ball patiently.

In attack, Rice acts as a single midfielder, protecting the defence, the wing-backs drop back to get the ball, take the full-backs away, and the midfielders Jordan Henderson or Bellingham step forward to create gaps.

England also continued to play the same tactics as in the first half, albeit with more aggressiveness.

The approach of the Argentine team is that the central midfielders actively return to the defense and stick to the England players who are inserted forward.

If the tactics of both sides in the first half are version 1.0, then the second half, which strengthens the running and confrontation, is the upgraded version of 2.0.

As the game picked up, fouls followed.

The two sides are based on interception in the midfield, compete for speed on the wing, and there is no room for negligence in defense.

Jordan Henderson, John Stones, and Marcus Rashford were carded one after another, and the defensive depth on the right side was in jeopardy.

Argentina is no better.

De Paul, Enzo and Otamendi were booked and the central defence was as thin as a piece of paper.

In the 60th minute, Argentina took the lead in substitutions.

Di Maria, who had done an excellent job of attrition and scored a goal, was substituted and received enthusiastic applause from the Argentine fans.

Acuña came off the bench on the wing.

With the two sides still in a draw, Scaloni's substitutions were relatively conservative.

Although there is no sharp breakthrough from Di Maria, Acuña has plenty of energy and can cover the entire wide line.

Due to Acuña's all-round attacking and defensive attributes, Rashford has fewer chances to get the ball on the flanks.

In the first half, Di Maria made five successful dribbles but lost possession on 10 occasions.

It is all up to the teammates behind him to make up for the defense in time to avoid being beaten and counterattacked.

The wing can't be advanced, and Rossi, who is at the front, can't play to his advantage.

Bang!

Marcus Rashford tried to play a long ball from the back, but Argentina's defence was not as high forward as it had been in the first half, with Rossi being heavily defended by two defenders.

The Argentine team, which gradually mastered the rhythm of the game, became more and more fierce.

The goal at the end of the first half kept their morale up to now.

Southgate, who saw that the situation was not good, had already begun to think about a substitution, and the central defender Dier was called over.

At this moment, the Argentine offensive struck again.

Enzo broke free from the defense near the centre circle and sent the ball straight forward over the top.

Alvarez started quickly and rushed into the box.

Stones was very quick to chase back and close to Alvarez.

The two staggered into the penalty area and fell to the ground at the same time.

Alvarez, with his dexterity and speed, made the first kick and stabbed the ball towards the goal.

The ball grabs the post and rolls off the baseline.

Goal kick!

Argentine fans were extremely unhappy with the referee's decision.

They thought it should have been a penalty for Stones to foul Alvarez in the box.

In the face of the referee's indifference, Alvarez raised his arms to express confusion and protest.

The defence sounded the alarm again and England had to change.

Just as Deer was waiting on the sidelines, Argentina's attack struck again.

Enzo's pass was pinpointed to Messi's feet in the ribs.

did not stop the ball, Messi used exquisite footwork, even unloaded and passed, and distributed it to Alvarez, winning full applause.

And Alvarez, who received it, also crossed and went straight into the penalty area.

Enzo Fernandez, near the top of the arc of the penalty area, also touched the ball and crossed diagonally to Messi at the back post.

In an instant, with the cooperation of three consecutive kicks, the England defense was completely broken.

Southgate was replaced by Jordan Henderson.

The performance of the captain of the Red Army was decent, with a balance between attack and defense.

It's just that when he was in front of him to play a counterattack, he couldn't use his personal ability to disrupt the penalty area, which may be the reason for being substituted.

England immediately changed their formation.

Kane returned to the centre-forward position and formed a two-man strike with Rossi.

Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford spread wide on the wings.

With Bukayo Saka added, England could attack in a 4-2-4 formation, with a sharper attack on the flanks.

At this point, Argentina chose to be conservative and recycle the defensive line.

Faced with a tight defence, Southgate made a bold decision.

Giving Rossi plenty of freedom up front.

As a frontcourt libero, he has a very high degree of freedom.

With Luke Shaw up front, Rossi can link up with him on the wing.

You can also come to the middle and threaten the goal.

It can also retract and respond to form a triangle with Rice and Bellingham.

"Frontcourt liberty?"

Aymar, the assistant coach of Argentina, looked at Rossi, who had been invisible before, to the figure that could be seen everywhere, and this idea popped into his mind.

Don't the other side know how physically demanding this tactic really is on the players?

As the core of the attack, Rossi's main task is to be responsible for the final blow of the attack.

Instead of running around like a free man.

Southgate, is it really hi?

Or is he going to end the fight in 90 minutes?
