The strongest winger

Chapter 1199 Mobilization Before the Game
Before the game, although many people were able to roughly guess the starting lineup for the final, it was a bit surprising when the real starting lineup was released, especially for the Chinese team.

The full-backs Jiang Zhipeng and Zhang Linpeng are all full-backs who are good at assists, while the midfielders Wu Xi, Huang Bowen, and Zhang Xizhe are all good at attacking, and their defense can only be regarded as mediocre.

In addition, Zhang Xizhe's defensive task in Guardiola's tactical system is not very heavy. He just strengthens his running during the transition from offense to defense and cuts off the opponent's passing route.

Argentina's starting lineup can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, and there is no change in the stable defense line. There is a clear contrast with the Chinese team in midfield.

Mascherano is a defensive midfielder known for interception. Perez's passing ability and breakthrough ability are good, but what is impressive is his fierce midfielder interception.

Villa is also a defensive midfielder, but it is different from Mascherano. His role is equivalent to Real Madrid's Xavi Alonso, but in the final analysis, he still focuses on midfield defense.

After the starting lineup was officially announced, the narrators in the on-site commentary booth began to comment on the final list.

CCTV commentator Huang Jianxiang said: "The attitude of the Chinese team under the coach of Guardiola is very obvious. In the final, they used the formed Tiki-Taka to compete with Argentina. At the same time... I have to say that Guardiola is really very courageous! Putting on this pair of attacking lineup in the final, the courage is commendable!!"

Although Huang Jianxiang has a lot of confidence in the Chinese team with Aiello, the football game has a certain degree of chance, coupled with the 7:1 massacre of the host Brazil team in the semi-finals, it is inevitable that he will feel a little guilty in his heart, thinking that the character of the Chinese team was defeated in that big victory.

Andy Gray, the head commentator of Sky TV, also talked about his worries: "Guardiola's choice can be said to be expected, but it really takes courage to use a full attacking formation in the final!"

"Yes, let's not talk about the final result of the game. We all have to praise Guardiola. After all, the final is a game that cannot be missed. It is really not easy to send a large number of offensive players in the final. I believe... This game will no longer be as boring as the previous finals, I believe it will be more exciting!!"

Lineker, the BBC commentator who is a former England international, also gave his own comments: "Guardiola's choice is surprising, but... this is the most powerful Chinese team! Because they have the world's most powerful attacker-Ai. I believe that as long as the forward players can grasp even one chance, the prospects of the Chinese team will become clear!"

……

The Argentine national TV commentator did not take the Chinese team’s starting lineup seriously, and said lightly: “I have to say that the Chinese team’s starting lineup is surprising. They were able to field a full offensive lineup in the World Cup final, which is very courageous! But...don’t forget, this is the final!! So the offensive and defensive lineup sent by Savilla is the most suitable! The semi-final victory over Brazil is because their luck is strong enough. In other words...their luck has been used up in the semi-final!!”

The implication is that the team that won the final must be their Argentina.

But will the end result be like this?
Let's wait and see!

※※※

All 23 roster players from both sides of the final returned to their locker rooms.

The lottery drawn by the Chinese team the day before the game is the home team, so they can enjoy the extremely luxurious home team locker room with all kinds of configurations.

The Chinese players who returned to the locker room did not approach the head coach Guardiola immediately, but went to the bathroom to wash off the stinky sweat.

After the players dealt with their personal affairs, Guardiola clapped his hands, and the players gathered around knowingly, but he didn't say anything about the game, but relieved the players: "We won the Confederations Cup last year on Brazilian soil, and a year later we won all the games that could be won on the same soil, and we beat the host Brazil 7-1 four days ago, so we have no reason to lose in the final. At the same time... I hope everyone here can relax, just like what Ai said yesterday If so, the championship is ours! It's just a matter of time...and we are number one in the FIFA rankings."

"... Please lower your noble heads, look at the logo on the left chest, and then look at the national flag logo printed in the middle." Guardiola looked at the expressions of the players and added another fire: "At this time, you are no longer representing yourself, but the whole country, in China thousands of miles away... Hundreds of millions of fans are watching this game, and there are tens of thousands of lovely fans in the stadium stands cheering for you, so...you must win!"

At the same time, Argentine coach Savilla also stirred up the emotions of the players: "We have worked hard for this game for two years, from the World Cup qualifiers, to the difficult group stage, the knockout stage, and finally reached the final. The process is very difficult. It can be said that we are lucky to be able to enter the final, but it is also our misfortune, because whether we will enter the World Cup final in our future career, so... what we have to do is to live in the present!"

Speaking of this, Savilla paused, turned his attention to the captain Messi, and changed his voice: "Leo, if I remember correctly, you haven't gotten involved in the World Footballer yet, have you?"

Messi froze for a moment, frowned, and nodded in shame: "Yes, sir."

"Then do you want to beat Chinese captain Ai to get this honor?" Savilla was like a strange uncle who lured a child with a lollipop.

But this trick worked very well for Messi, he said firmly: "I want to!"

"Okay!" Savilla did not continue to focus on Messi, but glanced at the other 22 players, and said indifferently: "You...do you want to transfer to a better club and get a higher salary?"

Who doesn't want to be famous?Who wouldn't want a higher salary?

So the player's answer was very quick: "Yes!"

Savilla looked at everyone, and his voice suddenly became louder and octave higher: "Now you, you... all have a chance, as long as you defeat the Chinese team led by Ai in the next final, your goal will be perfectly realized!"

At this time, Savilla acted like an instigator, mobilizing everyone's emotions, including himself.

"Dry!"

It has to be said that Savilla's ability to incite players is very strong. He can completely mobilize the players' emotions through simple words, and the players' response is also quite straightforward and loud.

After mobilizing the emotions, it is natural to explain the skills and tactics of the game.

In fact, before the start of the finals, the team's technical and tactical style of play has been fixed, and the current explanation is more to impress the players, so as to fully complete the tasks assigned by the head coach during the game.
