The strongest winger

Chapter 850 The Eighth Goal (Gagan)

"Tevez, Di Maria and Messi are all standing in front of the football. Who is going to take this free kick?" The commentator on Argentine National TV was obviously excited. As Tevez and Di Maria flashed by, he shouted loudly: "It's... Leo Messi!"

Immediately afterwards, he elongated his voice: "Goooooooooooooooooal Messi! Leo Messi!! His direct free kick helped Argentina open the scoring! We are coming to the semi-finals!!"

The live broadcaster locked the camera on Messi who scored the goal. There are very few high-quality direct free kicks in this World Cup, and Messi’s free kick belongs to the high-quality category. In addition, he is one of the top football superstars in the world and has received the most attention. Therefore, the Argentine fans in the stands chanted Messi’s name.

Messi was very excited. He didn't like to do exaggerated celebrations when scoring goals. He opened his arms and rushed to the right corner flag, playing a sliding track celebration.

The Catalan TV commentator said dotingly: "Messi is indeed the best player in the world! Chinese Ai can't be compared with him at all. Messi opened the scoring when Argentina most needed someone to stand up, so what about Chinese Ai? He is like a spectator, standing in half a circle and watching..."

Huang Jianxiang from the commentary seat let out a long breath, shook his head and sighed: "We held on for nearly 6 minutes, and finally we were broken by Argentina. The previous defense was good enough, but we couldn't affect the individual performance of the superstar. Messi's flying fairy is very wonderful. After jumping over the wall with his left foot, the arc ball went straight to the near corner of the goal. Wang Xiaolei at the far end had no time to move. It's a pity!"

At the same time, the on-site director turned the camera to another superstar in this stadium-Ai Luo.

His expression is not as depressed as other Chinese players, on the contrary there is a hint of excitement!
That's right!Ai Luo was excited because Messi took the lead. He always felt that he had a power that he couldn't play no matter what. He didn't know it until Messi scored a goal. This was because no opponent gave enough stimulation to arouse his inner fighting spirit!
He Wei calmed down, looked at Ai Luo with a calm face, and rekindled hope: "I believe that as long as Ai Luo does not give up the game, there is still hope for the match between the Chinese team and Argentina. His personal ability is super strong, even better than Messi. As long as he seizes a chance, the score will be evened!"

The game restarted, and the Chinese team did not give up because of Argentina's strength. Wu Xi, who took the ball, controlled the ball at his own feet according to Gao Hongbo's pre-match arrangement, and slowly pressed the overall formation forward to see if he could use the kick-off advantage to send the ball into the Argentine goal.

The Argentine players on the field were surprised that the Chinese team did not drop the ball in the backcourt after kick-off, but they did not allow the Chinese team to pass back and forth. Higuain, Carlos Tevez and Messi harassed, and the overall formation slowly pressed forward. Wu Xi, who was in control of the ball, had to pass the football under his feet.

At this time, when Ai Luo was seen as dead, Hao Junmin's skillful ball control skills were fully reflected. Di Maria was swayed in the past to defend.

Hao Junmin pulled the ball to the left with the sole of his foot, passed it to Gao Lin who retreated to respond without hesitation, and then accelerated to the rib space between Heinze and Burdisso, which frightened Heinze and Burdisso.

However, Gao Lin did not pass the ball to Hao Junmin who was going forward. Instead, he flicked the ball to the right with the instep of his right foot, raised his left elbow to resist Gutierrez's collision, and passed the ball to Liu Jian who was going forward along the sideline.

It was too late when Heinze turned around to defend, and Liu Jian made a 45-degree cross from the right.

Sitting on the coach's bench, Maradona frowned. The Chinese team's right assist is very characteristic, but the question is, hasn't the Chinese team's center Gao Lin already pulled out to play the ball?So in the restricted area?
Thinking of this, Maradona stood up abruptly from the coach's bench and tiptoed to look.

Liu Jian's cross was fast and flat, flying towards the defensive space between Burdisso and Demichelis.

Attracted by Hao Junmin's forward drive, Burdisso turned his back to his own goal. He just saw a red lightning flashing at high speed, and behind him was Mascherano chasing back!

※※※

When all Argentina's attention was attracted by Hao Junmin with the ball, Mascherano also made a fatal mistake!
Maradona made a point before the game that if the Chinese team’s offense is not organized by Aiello, they must keep a close eye on Aiello, because this moment is the most dangerous moment, and Ailuo’s forward penetration and grabbing points are more threatening, so Maradona also showed the video of this situation to the players. A typical example is the Chinese team’s goal in the last minute against Serbia.

Javier Mascherano realized that he had to keep a close eye on Aiello when the Chinese team's attack went from the right flank to the right.

But...it's too late!
Liu Jian stopped the ball forward and made a 45th pass from the right.

Ai Luo plugged in at high speed from the middle, and Mascherano felt a gust of wind blowing on his face after slowing down. When he turned his head and turned around, he only saw a big number 9...

As the captain, even if he couldn't catch up to Ai Luo, he turned around and chased after him without hesitation!
Demichelis, who was standing on the line of the penalty area, was very focused, but... this concentration was only compared to the football flying in mid-air. He had already figured out how to push the ball out of the penalty area in a smart way!

He didn't realize that a red lightning was approaching at high speed.

Goalkeeper Romero could see it clearly, and he instinctively roared: "Martin, be careful!!"

At the same time, the Chinese fans in the stands burst into cheers, and those neutral fans also blew their homemade horns, creating a huge decibel, which raised the game atmosphere of the Green Point Stadium to another level. Only the Argentine fans were dumbfounded. The player who rushed to the Argentine penalty area line at high speed is the No.1 in today's football!
Many Argentine fans who understand Demichelis' playing style have already started to scold their mothers. Needless to say... they must be distracted again at the critical moment!
Generally, the defense of the central defender must first look at the offensive players around him, and then make a clearance!
Now Demichelis directly ignores the first step and performs a rescue! !
Demichelis realized something was wrong when he heard the reminder, and wanted to clear the siege in advance, but a red shadow reacted faster than him, and put the football passed by Liu Jian into the penalty area on his forehead.

Oops!

The experienced Demichelis knew he should foul in a flash.

But... Ai Luo's speed is really too fast, coupled with his excellent explosive power, it is enough to get rid of it in a very short time.

Romero abandoned the goal and attacked. Ai Luo swung his right foot without hesitation while running. Romero subconsciously flew towards the ball at Ai Luo's feet. As a result, Ai Luo did not shoot with his right foot, but lightly picked the falling football to the left side of his body.

Andy Gray, who was conducting the implementation commentary, exclaimed: "Fake shot! Pick the ball!!"

The next job is very simple for a player of Aiello's level. He bypasses Romero with his feet, stops the ball firmly on the ground with his left foot, twists his waist sideways, and sends the ball into the empty goal with the arch of his right foot...

※※※

Oh oh oh——! ! !

The sky above Green Point Stadium exploded with huge energy in the next moment, sweeping the entire stadium!
How long has it been since Argentina scored? Less than 2 minutes!

The Chinese team evened the score tenaciously in less than 2 minutes!
Therefore, the Chinese fans in the stands were extremely excited.

What better way to boost morale than when you've just conceded a goal and then equalized?

"Oh-My-God! Goal! Ai scored his eighth goal in this World Cup, it's unbelievable!!" Lineker yelled loudly: "His goal helped the Chinese team tenaciously tie the score at 1:1, and this goal of the Chinese team was their first goal after the kick-off, so it was of great help to their team's morale! It seems that the Chinese team will not easily surrender in the quarter-finals!!"

At the moment of scoring the goal, Gao Hongbo was stunned.

It wasn't until Fu Bo hugged the bear that he realized that the Chinese team had equalized!
All the players in the front court rushed to the hero of the goal, Ai Luo. No one understood the actual importance of this goal better than them. The score was equalized just after the score, which restored their hope for the game. As Ai Luo said before the game, the reason why football is the world's number one sport is because the ending is full of uncertainty!
When everyone in the world thinks that Argentina is sure to advance to the semi-finals, they prove to everyone that the Chinese team is indeed weaker than Argentina, but they may not necessarily lose!
At this moment, two words popped up in the minds of the players on the Chinese court-upset!

Before Ai Luo had time to celebrate the goal personally, he was dragged to the ground by Gao Lin who rushed to the ground, and the Chinese team played a game of stacking arhats on the spot.

When the Chinese team's celebration was almost finished, the on-site director locked the camera on Messi's face again, his expression seemed ugly.

Messi is in the same mood as captain Mascherano. He has an inescapable responsibility for the loss. If he hadn't focused on the ball-handling player Hao Junmin just now, it would have been impossible for Aiello to go forward and participate in the attack.

Maradona, who stood up from the coach's bench earlier, sighed to the sky. He was quite angry at the Chinese team's lightning equalizer!
The team's overall defense had a collective distraction at the moment just now!

If the opponent is replaced by other World Cup favorites, I don't know how many times I will die!
