Godfather of national football

Chapter 166 The first match against Argentina ([-])
After the substitution, Argentina's midfielder became a double midfielder, Belonga Pastore, and the formation was similar to 4231.

Messi is on the right, Di Maria is on the left, Rodriguez is a guest attacking midfielder, and Higuain is still a single arrow.

Taking advantage of Argentina's change of formation, the Chinese team launched an attack, this time Hao Junmin suddenly cut inside.

The Chinese team has two forwards. Once the winger cuts in, it will temporarily form a large numerical advantage. From this point, it can be seen that Maradona is still a bit stupid as a coach.

Hao Junmin cuts inside, and Argentina has no one to defend. This should have been the position of the midfielder, but Argentina's two midfielders are not very defensive.

Veron just defended symbolically, and Hao Junmin quickly wiped out Veron by using his speed.

The Chinese team formed a 3-on-4 frontcourt situation. Ji Ke suppressed Demichelis, and Chen Gelin was ready to move beside Burdisso.

Suddenly, Chen Gelin thrust forward, which was the best signal. Hao Junmin pushed the arch of his foot, and made a beautiful straight pass diagonally.

Burdisso yelled at Demichelis: "Martin, watch your number nine."

"You push number 11 out, don't let him cut in."

After a simple exchange between the two central defenders of Argentina, the division of labor became clear. In the end, Chen Gelin made a cross in the middle. Ji Ke shot under Demi's close defense, but the ball missed the goal.

The Chinese players on the bench on the sidelines hugged their heads with a look of regret. How could the ball be missed so much?

"Actually, if Ji Ke didn't hit the goal directly, but just lightly dunked Demi, it would be perfect," Li Guo thought.

But if that can be done, then it is not Ji Ke, but Bergkamp.

*****
The ball made the entire Argentine team break out in a cold sweat. Maradona was a little anxious. He stretched out three fingers towards the field, which meant that the three midfielders stood in parallel, and the formation was still 433 to strengthen the thickness of the defense.

Over there, Li Guo waved his arms like a big windmill. If he doesn’t attack now, when will he wait? Li Guo puts pressure on Hao Junmin. He is now the core of the Chinese team’s attack, and the Chinese team’s offensive rhythm is in his hands.

"Xiao Hao, cut Argentina's midfielder and give it to Shen Rui over there,"

After Argentina suffered two losses, they have already strictly guarded Chen Gelin and Ji Ke. It is very difficult for Hao Junmin to send the ball directly to Argentina's penalty area for the striker, so Li Guo can see that it is a good way to split the side first.

Without Mascherano, the hardness of the Argentine midfielder is indeed greatly reduced. Hao Junmin broke through to the penalty area again, this time Shen Rui quickly inserted, and Heinze over there moved to the middle. The experienced Argentine veteran.

Hao Junmin pushed the ball to Shen Rui, and Shen Rui was about to make a pass, but found that Heinze blocked the passing route, so he could only continue to pass the ball.

Li Guo knew he had no chance, "How could I have forgotten him?" In his previous life, when Li Guo was playing football games, he liked to buy Heinze. The Argentine veteran was cheap, but his defense was top-notch, and he could occasionally go up for an assist.

Sure enough, Heinze didn't give Shen Rui a chance to cross. Shen Rui could only smash the ball and run back. The Chinese team lost a chance for a fast break.

*****
"Bring on Qu Bo, let's fight the Argentines, Li Guo, we have a chance to win this game," Chen An said.

But at this moment Li Guo hesitated, he wanted a point, he didn't want to anger Argentina, because he knew the energy of Argentina.

"Shen Rui played well, wait a minute."

Knowing that Li Guo could not make up his mind, Chen An stopped talking.

Maradona was furious over there. In fact, he chose people based on his reputation. For example, he recruited Veron. Now Veron is no longer the white wizard of the past, but Maradona still chooses to trust him.

The old horse had already taken off his suit, and kept jumping and waving his arms on the sidelines, so he was anxious!

Now Maradona still has a substitution spot, he can choose Aguero and Madman Palermo.

Palermo saved Maradona in the qualifiers. It can be said that without Boca Juniors' crazy striker, Argentina would not be able to appear in the World Cup.

But Palermo is a center like Crespo. If he is replaced, the entire offensive style of Argentina must be changed.

It's easy to replace Aguero. He, Messi and Di Maria are fast players who can seamlessly connect.

To put it simply, replacing Aguero is like changing a battery, and replacing Palermo can enrich Argentina's tactics.

Like Li Guo, Lao Ma is also hesitant. This is the last substitution spot and cannot be used easily.

But soon, the Chinese team helped Lao Ma make up his mind. Fang Suo of the Chinese team made an unreasonable and powerful shot in the midfield. The ball hit the goal post of Argentina.

*****
"My God, Argentina is going to fight for their lives. Aguero came on and replaced Higuain. Now Argentina is an attacking group composed of Messi, Aguero and Di Maria."

When Duan Xuan said these words, Fan Zhiyi was stunned and even forgot to echo Duan Xuan's explanation.

No one thought that the Chinese team could push Argentina to such an extent in the first match of the World Cup.

Li Guo also asked Qu Bo to start preparations. When the time came for head-to-head confrontation, Qu Bo ran back and forth on the sidelines to warm up quickly.

*****
Messi passed the ball to Aguero, Aguero knocked the ball to Di Maria, who returned the ball to Messi.

After the cooperation of the three-person team, Messi has already dribbled the ball into the penalty area to face Zhou Dun. Zhou Dun is still the same old way, shooting casually, but not cutting inside.

For a player of Messi's level, if he shoots, then you are resigned to fate, just don't get passed.

Messi swayed a little, but didn't shake Zhou Dun away, so he had to shoot a burst. The ball touched the goal post and flew out of the baseline.

Li Guo applauded Zhou Dun. Zhou Dun did a great job with this ball. Argentina’s attack came again soon. This time it was replaced by Aguero’s shot. Aguero’s characteristics are really like Messi.

If this continues, the Chinese team may lose the ball, or it may push Argentina more and more urgently, and finally fight back or something.

Qu Bo was fully warmed up. Seeing the passive situation of the Chinese team on the court, he said softly, "Head, when will I play?"

Li Guo turned around and looked, because he was so focused that he forgot about Qu Bo's existence for a while, so he could only smile and say, "Wait a minute."
