The strongest winger

Chapter 849 Flying Immortals Outside the Sky
"The first half of the 2010 South Africa World Cup quarter-final match between China Central Television, the Chinese national team and the Argentine national team has begun. The first kick-off is the Argentine team wearing traditional blue and white striped shirts and black ball pants. They attack from the left to the right of the screen, while the Chinese team wears red shirts and red ball pants, and they attack from the right to the left of the screen..."

As the referee blew his whistle, He Wei changed his voice: "Okay, now I will introduce the starting rosters of both sides. Argentina's goalkeeper is Romero, the defense has Heinze, Burdisso, Demichelis and Otamendi, the midfielder has Di Maria, Mascherano, Gutierrez and Messi, the two attackers are Higuain and Tevez, and the rest of the Chinese team's starting roster is handed over to Huang Jianxiang..."

As soon as the words fell, Argentina organized a quick and effective attack. Messi launched a wave of offensive on the left side of the defense 40 meters away from the Chinese team's goal. After receiving a diagonal pass from Mascherano, he suddenly accelerated with the ball.

Higuain didn't get the ball under his feet, but pushed the arch of his foot, and the ball returned to Messi's feet.

It was too late for Zheng Zhi to make an emergency stop and turn around. Zhao Xuri left his defense zone and moved laterally to defend Messi who was holding the ball. He also had two plans in his mind. As the team's only full-time midfielder, he had to stay between football and people after leaving the defense zone!
Messi is not tall, and his dribbling speed does not seem to be very fast, but his dribbling rhythm is very good, so that Zhao Xuri, who stepped forward, could not find any loopholes to steal the ball. As the distance between the two got closer, he could only hesitate while fighting and retreating. He was about to retreat to his own 25-meter defensive area. He knew that he could not continue to sit still.
At the same time, the Argentine national TV commentator shouted: "Messi Messi! Take the ball to the 30-meter area of ​​the Chinese team's defense, pass him and pass him! Then score!!"

"The starting lineup of the Chinese team is like this. The goalkeeper is the familiar Wang Xiaolei. There has been a change in the back line. Du Wei was suspended for a red card in the last game. Right back Zhang Linpeng is partnered with Feng Xiaoting. Jiang Zhipeng is on the left, Liu Jian is on the right, and the midfield four is Hao Junmin and Zheng Zhi... Hmm? There is a situation on the field, let's watch the game first!"

Messi dribbled the ball into the 25-meter defense zone of the Chinese team. Huang Jianxiang's voice fell and he turned his attention to the big screen.

Zhao Xuri had no choice but to spot the football at Messi's feet and shovel it!
As a result... Messi's left foot slammed the ball sideways, and his body dodged along with it, just avoiding Zhao Xuri's tackle. Just when Messi was about to continue waving the ball forward, a foot appeared on his forward path, so he jumped up with the instinct to protect himself.

"Aww!! Beautiful tackle! Zhang Linpeng!! It's really unexpected that he is as good as a full-back when he plays a temporary cameo. He defuses Messi's wonderful breakthrough from the side to the center..." Huang Jianxiang shouted.

Huge shouts erupted from the stands. Messi is well-known in the world of football, especially in the top three in the world when he dribbles from the right side to the center. Zhang Linpeng was able to make up the defense decisively and tackle Messi's foot.
According to the biggest discovery of the FIFA World Cup announced by FIFA after the 1/8 finals, both Wu Xi and Zhang Linpeng in the [-]s and [-]s are at the top of the list! !
Although Zhang Linpeng's wonderful tackle was very exciting, the counterattack of the Chinese team was not successful. Feng Xiaoting's long pass to Gao Lin was pushed back by central defender Demichelis.

"If it wasn't for Tevez's poor aim, then Argentina's first attack would have been enough of a threat! Argentina is still too strong for us..." He Wei shook his head and said.

Although Huang Jianxiang didn't want to admit that there was an absolute gap between the two teams in terms of strength, the facts were in front of him and he couldn't refute them, so he nodded and said, "That's right, Argentina's players on the field are all world-renowned stars, while our players on the field, except Ai Luo's huge influence, are only influential in their respective leagues, and they are not at the same level..."

Many Chinese fans in front of the TV were secretly scolding the two for raising others' ambitions and destroying their prestige, but they all knew in their hearts that Huang Jianxiang and He Wei were telling the truth.

The way the two coaches look at the game also represents the gap between the players on the field. Argentine coach Maradona leisurely sat on the coaching bench with his legs crossed, while Gao Hongbo stood at the designated coach command area and walked back and forth to relieve the tension in his heart.

It doesn't matter if it's a group match at this time. After all, the group match consists of three games, and it doesn't matter if you lose one game, but the knockout match is a life-and-death game. If you lose a game, you can pack up and go home!
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. As the core of the Chinese team's offense, Aiello was the player with the most chances to get the ball, but he also became the focus of the Argentine defenders. Maradona paired Mascherano with Gutierrez as a partner, and he was able to get twice the result with half the effort when defending Aiello.

Mascherano sits in front of the central defender to protect and has excellent tackle skills, while Gutierrez has a balanced offense and defense, strong confrontation ability, and his defensive awareness is not like an Argentine at all.

In the case of defending Aiello, Gutierrez used his super strong body to fight and interfere with Ailuo, and then Mascherano defended from the side to show his super skilled tackle skills...

Therefore, the situation in the first 5 minutes is inclined to the stronger Argentina.

Fortunately, the Chinese team did a very good defense during this period. Except for Ailuoding who was at the forefront as a nuclear deterrent, the other nine defensive players were all hoarded in the 35-meter area of ​​their own side for zone defense. To use a fashionable word to describe it, the Chinese team placed a bus in front of the goal.

Even so, apart from the disdain of the Argentine TV commentator, the other commentators still supported the technical and tactical play of the Chinese team, because if a team with super offensive ability like Argentina blindly chooses head-to-head, it is very likely that the battle will be resolved in the first half.

After all, the attack line composed of Messi, Tevez, Di Maria and Higuain should not be underestimated.

Especially Higuain, he shouldered the burden of scoring for Argentina when Messi was in poor form, scoring four goals in four games.

As the game progressed, Higuain's outstanding state was displayed in front of hundreds of millions of fans watching live TV.

In the 7th minute, Messi swayed from the right and made a cross. Higuain overwhelmed Feng Xiaoting and headed the ball towards the goal, forcing Wang Xiaolei to make a key save, otherwise Argentina would have opened the scoring.

Two minutes later, the Argentine attack made a comeback. This time, Javier Mascherano made a sudden forward assist, which caused the Chinese team to miss the defense. Tevez picked a pass from the penalty area. Higuain volleyed the ball non-stop against offside.

Within 2 minutes, the goalkeeper got close-up shots from the live broadcast, which indirectly showed that the Chinese team had serious problems in defense during this period.

Gao Hongbo had no choice but to run to the sidelines and yell that the players should pay more attention to the game...

※※※

After 10 minutes, the ball possession ratio on the field has become [-] points. Argentina has an absolute advantage over the Chinese team, and the four defenders even overwhelmed the center line.

Lineker in the on-site commentary seat couldn't bear to say: "The Chinese team must find a way to create a threatening attack. This situation continues to be extremely unfavorable to their future development, and it is very likely that Argentina will score a goal in one go. Then the balance of victory is completely tilted towards Argentina!"

Guest commentator Kyle said: "Fortunately, Argentina's Messi has not found the best state of the game, otherwise the game has broken the deadlock so far. According to Gary, the Chinese team should really think of a way in the process of transitioning from offense to defense, at least organizing a threatening attack..."

Another 5 minutes into the game, Ai Luo, who was cruising in the vacuum area of ​​his own half-circle arc, was very anxious, but he couldn't go over to help, because he was a deterrent, standing in the frontcourt and still attracted the attention of at least three defensive players. If he left this area, then the Chinese team would have to accept the madness of the entire Argentine team, and the situation facing them would be even more dangerous!

At this moment, Messi dribbled the ball on the right to accelerate again. The full-back Jiang Zhipeng was half a beat behind with a shovel, and was rushed by Messi.

The center of gravity of Messi's upper body changed frequently, so that Zhao Xuri, who was defending against him, had no way to get down at all. Finally, when he retreated to the 25-meter area of ​​his own side, he had to put him on the ground, and he received a yellow card for this.

Argentina got a free kick about 26 meters away from the goal. The position is slightly to the right, which is more suitable for left-footed players to take the penalty.

Wang Xiaolei played for Valencia for three and a half seasons. According to his intuition, the ball should be taken by the core Messi.

Although Di Maria, Messi and Carlos Tevez stood in front of the goal, there was only one shot at the end, and that was Messi!
Sure enough, both Tevez and Di Maria's run-ups were a cover, and it was Messi who shot.

The football kicked by Messi almost brushed Wu Xi's hair and flew to the near corner of the goal. Wang Xiaolei at the far end yelled that it was not good. It would take time to move from the far corner to the near corner!

Wang Xiaolei quickly moved two steps sideways and flew sideways, but he was helpless because the distance was too far, and the football rubbed against the near post of the goal and flew into the goal.

Messi's flying fairy opened the scoring for Argentina!

1:0
