"It's time to match up!"

"This time I won't tell you to come on!"

"Each each other!"

…………

June 6, South Korea - Seoul

"Everyone, the match that will start here today is the first match of the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup. Argentina vs. Spain..."

"...There is only one official confrontation record between the two teams in the history of the World Cup, and that was in the 1966 World Cup when Argentina beat Spain 2-1 in the group stage. The game record, and today, the two sides once again stood on the stage of the World Cup..."

"In the pre-match press conference, the preparations of the teams by the coaches of both sides..."

"Friends in the audience, now we can see that the referee team has appeared at the entrance of the passage. The Argentine team is wearing blue and white jerseys in this game. Blue and white are the main colors of the Argentine flag and the favorite color of Argentines..."

"The Spanish team is wearing a red jersey. From here, we can see the starting players of the two teams standing at the entrance of the passage. The players of the two teams are familiar with each other. In the live broadcast just now, we saw Kaguinia and the Son of the Wind. Guti from Spain stood together and talked after a hug, they seemed to know each other well, how strange, Caguinha never played in La Liga, and Guti never left Real Madrid, how did they know each other... ..."

"The starting lists of both sides, today's list is very interesting... Let me tell you first, first look at the starting lineup of the Argentine team. Their goalkeeper is the No. 1 main goalkeeper Boggs. This goalkeeper is currently in La Liga. Athletic Club, Atletico Madrid is the rival of Real Madrid in the same city. I believe he must be very familiar with the Real Madrid players in the Spanish team. Let’s look at their defender today, No. 2 Ayala, who also plays in La Liga. He is in the Valencia club , No. 6 Samuel, from the Roma club in Serie A, and No. 12 Chamotte, from AC Milan in Serie A. Does the Argentine look very bold? Today is a three-back lineup, so look at their midfield , No. 5, their captain, Redondo, the midfielder from La Liga giants Real Madrid, if the reason why Argentina’s defense has been unstable over the years is that there is no core of wholehearted defense, then since Redondo’s position is in the country After the team was fixed, the starting 11-man list of the Argentine team became Redondo and ten others. Speaking of Redondo, I don’t need to say anything about his strength. He is the unique midfielder in today’s football... ..."

Listening to the host's non-stop chattering, Guti, with earphones in his ears, had no expression on his face and secretly cursed inwardly. This person must be a fan of Redondo. He is clearly explaining the starting lineup of the Argentine team. How are you doing now? It has become a special session to popularize the glorious history of Redondo to the audience.

"José!"

Raul pushed him from behind.

"how?"

Guti turned around.

"Put the earphones away, we are about to enter the venue."

Raul said quietly.

Guti unplugged the earphones, handed them to the team staff, stretched his arms and stretched the muscles.

The referee team led the way to the field, followed by players from the two teams.

In just an instant, countless fanatical shouts were heard.

Argentina's starting 11-man list——

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Boggs

Defender: No. 2 Ayala No. 6 Samuel No. 22 Chamot

Midfielder: No. 5 Redondo No. 8 Zanetti No. 11 Veron No. 14 Simeone

Forward: No. 7 Lopez No. 9 Batistuta No. 19 Crespo

Spain's starting 11 list——

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Ike Casillas

Defenders: No. 2 Curro Torres No. 3 Juanfran Garcia No. 5 Carles Puyol No. 6 Fernando Hiero

Midfielder: No. 10 Diego Tristan No. 14 Guti No. 16 Mendieta No. 21 Enrique

Forwards: No. 7 Raul Gonzalez No. 11 Francisco Depedro

"Today, the Spanish team's formation is very cautious!"

"That's right, the Argentine team played a very aggressive 343, while Spain didn't use the 433 they used to use these years, but they played a defensive 442. It seems that Spain is quite wary of Argentina's attack power..."

"... Enrique has been in the backcourt in the previous few games, today he went forward and lined up in the midfield. It seems that Bosque hopes that he can maintain a deterrent on both ends of the offense and defense..."

"Spain has not had many strikers in recent years, and Raul is considered the best, but I think today's lineup is not suitable for him..."

"If Morientes is not injured..."

"That's right, Spain's line-forwards are a bit worse. If you want to talk about the attack power, it still depends on Argentina..."

"Beleron was removed from the midfielder and Enrique was placed here because he should value his confrontation."

"That's right, Belleron's technique is good, but it's still weaker in terms of confrontation, weaker than Mendieta..."

On the side of the bench, Belleron, who was listening to the English commentary with Guti's earphones, frowned.

On the field, shaking hands with players from both sides, Redondo looked at Guti, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"I will beat you!"

Guti shook Redondo's hand firmly.

Redondo was calm and gentle, "Let's talk about it later."

"Humph!"

Guti turned his head proudly.

"This kid is so funny."

After staggering, Batty smiled and said to Redondo.

"Jose is a very nice guy, very talented and hardworking..."

"Come on, as if I didn't know that he won two Golden Globes in a row, is he a superstar in today's football!"

Barty laughed.

With the whistle of the referee, the Argentine team, who got the kick-off right, pushed the ball in the middle circle, and the game began.

At the beginning of the first half, it was Argentina's chance. Veron kicked off and pushed the ball to Zanetti. Zanetti took the ball and immediately stepped forward. After passing Mendieta, he passed the ball directly to Batty. stuta.

The Roman god of war broke through the line of defense, and it was a powerful long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area.

Fortunately, the young Spanish teenager Casillas rushed towards the football without fear and took the ball directly.

There was applause in the stadium.

The Argentine team gave the Spanish team a bad start at the beginning. The Spanish team's goalkeeper was unwilling to signal and received Batty's goal.

"It was right from the beginning."

"Haha, our young general is very good."

"Yes, Carney was injured before the game and Cassie took the position. Everyone was worried that the young goalkeeper would not be able to bear the pressure. In these games, it was obvious that Casillas was the top player before the big game. The players did really well."

"Yes, it looks like Real Madrid have another big player."

"Yes!"

"But Carney was really unlucky."

"Although it is a subconscious reaction of human beings to pick up things when they drop them, does he think he is an ordinary player and uses his feet to pick up perfume bottles? As a goalkeeper, shouldn't he intuitively use his hands..."

"That's right, haha~~~"

After the re-kick-off on the court, the situation that emerged was still that Argentina was attacking and Spain was defending.

The style of play of the South American powerhouse Argentina is elegant, unrestrained and extremely aggressive.

Facing such a powerful opponent, the current Spanish team has almost all retreated except for the two forwards.

According to the pre-match coach's instructions, they must overcome Argentina's violent attack before the start before they can further play their own football.

It turned out that some players were not convinced, but the Argentine team's strong attack within 7 minutes of the opening completely wiped out the original impetuosity of some people in the Spanish team.

The Spanish half was packed with players from both sides.

Although the Argentine team has a strong offensive power, they are powerless in the face of the comprehensive defense of the Spaniards, and they have not been able to convert their advantages into points.

"Mom-egg!"

Looking at the Argentine who was repulsed by another offensive and retreated by them, Guti cursed fiercely.

"Don't be careless."

Enrique said.

"I know."

Only 10 minutes into the first half, the players of the Spanish team had already started to pant, not because of physical exertion but because of too much psychological pressure.

Casillas, who was about to serve, used the rules to slowly walk to the front of the penalty area. He shouted loudly and waved his hands, as if he was directing something.

"Much smarter!"

Guti muttered.

When he first appeared on the stage, he didn't dare to shout, and he was too embarrassed to direct the crowd, but now he can actually shout.

When the referee had already stared over and seemed to say that he deliberately delayed the time violation, Casey threw the ball with both hands and threw it to his captain Hierro.

After receiving the ball, Hierro stepped on the ball and paused for two seconds, then slowly advanced a few steps forward and passed the ball back to teammate Puyol, understanding the captain's intention, Puyol led After taking two steps, the ball was passed to Garcia diagonally. Garcia saw that the Argentine was not far from him. With a heel knock, the ball was passed back to Puyol.

After Puyol received the ball, he was still unhurried. When he found that the opponent was about to pounce, he turned around and passed again. The ball returned to Hierro's feet.

And the positions of these passes are all in front of the own side's big penalty area. It is always turning the opponent back and forth, and the ball is not passed forward. This practice is commonly known as "monkey play".

"The Spaniard played very intelligently."

"The Argentines either keep going, or they wait for the Spaniards to come forward."

"Not always."

"Look, the Argentines are back."

The Spaniard's defense-based style of play made Argentina, which has super offensive power, impatient. The forwards were not very effective in stealing, so their midfielders began to step forward.

"careful!"

Hierro, who stood behind with a fairly wide view, shouted loudly.

Guti heard the voice of the captain, but he knew that this was also their chance.

"Louis."

Guti yelled.

Without saying anything, Enrique immediately understood what he wanted to do, "I will make up for it."

Hearing Enrique's echo, Guti stared intently at the other side until the familiar figure got closer and closer.

Here he is.

he came.
