From the player tunnel, Messi focused on Aiello in front of him, his fists clenched tightly. If Aguero was next to him, he would definitely think that Messi was going to be angry...
In fact, this is not the case, but Messi has regarded Aiello as the object he wants to surpass since the end of that round of La Liga.
In particular, Ai Luo's lore shot against Barcelona made him still unable to let go of it. He himself chased that ball for dozens of meters but failed to catch up. In the end, he even made a shovel from behind, but he still couldn't stop the opponent.
This is a great shame to him!
Not long after, he withdrew his gaze and followed the team in front of him into the field.
……
……
When the Chinese National Youth Team stepped into the stadium, the Chinese cheering group above the player channel seemed to be full of strength for an instant, shouting hoarsely: "Come on, Chinese team!"
"Come on Chinese team!"
"Come on Chinese team!!"
……
……
The starters, headed by Feng Xiaoting and Ai Luo, were subconsciously stunned.
This is our fans! !
So we can't let them down! !
We must fulfill our promise! !
Give back to the fans! ! !
All the players clenched their fists, wishing that the game would start immediately.
******
After the game started, the Argentines on the field quickly discovered that it seemed that the Chinese in front of them did not fight against them as their coach Francisco Ferraro expected.
Because, when the Argentine players get the ball, the Chinese team members will quickly retreat to their own 40-meter area, leaving Gao Lin in the middle to harass, while Ai Luo runs around to confuse the opponent.
Even more surprising than the Argentine players on the field was their head coach Francisco Ferraro.
Is this... is this still the Chinese team with the strongest attack power in this World Youth Championship?
They are arranged in such an orderly manner in front of their own defense line. Is this the rhythm of the iron barrel array?
Just as unexpected as Francisco Ferraro were the commentators in the studio at the Hagewald Stadium.
He Wei frowned, looked at the Chinese team that was sticking to their own half, and said subconsciously: "This... the team seems to be playing defense? But... didn't the team focus on offense before? Will this change? Will it bring confusion to the players' ability to execute tactics?"
His worry is not unreasonable. Changing tactics before the game is a big taboo for military strategists!
But then he was relieved. After all, this is the final of the World Youth Championship, that is to say, the winner is the champion, and the loser has nothing. "Maybe Krautchen is thinking about the team's final victory... After all, this is a cup game. There is a saying that is very correct. The offense wins the fans, but the defense is what determines the championship. Moreover, the Argentine National Youth Team has very rich experience in the World Youth Championship finals. This is not comparable to our national youth team..."
After Miss He Wei finished speaking, the fans sitting in front of the TV in China were relieved. After all, this is a match to determine the championship. There is no need to play against Argentina just to please the fans. It is not worth it!
Only the final victory is the most important! !
******
As the World Youth Championship progressed, Messi's state became better and better, but he encountered Waterloo in this game. In the first 5 minutes of the game, he tried to break through many times, but was stopped by the densely populated Chinese National Youth Team. Then he drove the ball forward unreasonably, allowing Ai Luo to look for opportunities.
This... is completely a rogue style of play!
Francisco Ferraro thought silently.
And Clausen, who was next to him in front of the coach's bench, crossed his legs and watched the game on the field leisurely, with an appearance of winning.
In fact, in his mind, what makes him most satisfied is not the team's offense, but the team's defense.
The reason why he scored so many goals in the first six games of the World Youth Championship was because of Ai Luo's perverted state. He scored twelve goals in six games. At the same time, Gao Lin followed Ai Luo to pick up chickens and scored eight goals. That's why he got the title of "offensive madman".
Like Messi, Gago and Zabaleta are also in trouble. One is a central midfielder full of aura, while the other is a winger with a relatively balanced offense and defense. They both need space to display their talents.
But the space they needed was taken up by the defensive formation of the Chinese National Youth Team.
Messi is currently the best footwork in Argentina. Although he is not tall, his footwork is outstanding. The distance between people and the ball is very good, but...under the strict defense of the Chinese National Youth Team, it is impossible to break the deadlock, let alone them.
So, Francisco Ferraro frowned.
He's trying to figure out a way out.
In this case, the deadlock can only be opened if the first goal is scored, but... how to break the situation?But Francisco Ferraro racked his brains and couldn't come up with an effective solution.
Facing a team that is fully defending, the whole world has no good way.
Set ball?
Francisco Ferraro shook his head subconsciously. There are a lot of players under 1.8 meters in Argentina, and the tallest is central defender Garay, but his task is to defend Aiello. After all, the title of La Liga's top scorer is not for show. Twelve goals in six games are also genuine, so he dare not let the team fight.
Moreover, Argentina has always been based on the tradition of passing and cutting on the ground. He dare not let the team change its style easily, otherwise even if it wins the game, it will be scolded to death by those tricky fans in China.
Long shot?
There are so many people in front of the goal, what a shot!
As a result, the situation on the field fell into a stalemate.
The Chinese National Youth Team is defending with all its strength, while the Argentine National Youth Team is trying to use various methods to pry open the defense of the Chinese National Youth Team and score goals.
******
Every time the Chinese National Youth Team kicked the ball forward, the Argentine fans in the stands broke into a cold sweat, because every time the Chinese National Youth Team's No. [-] Ai Luo would desperately fight for control of the football.
Although the Argentine National Youth Team hoarded three defenders in the backcourt at all times, judging from the eyes of the fans in the stands, there was always a feeling of crumbling.
Ai Luo's ability is there, so the three defenders of the Argentine National Youth Team can deeply feel the pressure he radiates. This point, Garay, who has the most contact with Ai Luo, feels the most.
Ai Luo is not only fast, but also not weak in physical fitness, not to mention his confrontation ability. The key point is that his jumping ability is also very good. Often when Gary gets stuck, he can rely on his own excellent jumping power to overwhelm Gary to ferry the ball to Gao Lin who is responding to him.
If it weren't for Gao Lin's rough ball-handling skills, the Chinese National Youth Team would have been able to fight back quickly.
……
……
After 10 minutes, Messi gradually adapted to the Chinese team's defensive style of play and did not continue to try to make a personal breakthrough. He is a smart person and prefers to use his brain when playing football, so he consciously reduced dribbling and tried more to cooperate with his teammates.
Gradually, Zhao Xuri and Feng Xiaoting also discovered the changes in Argentina. Like before, the chances of the two jointly stealing the ball have been much reduced. In the end...the Argentine players have given up fighting alone.
Francisco Ferraro nodded in satisfaction. He also saw the changes in the team. The changes on the field were not his own adjustments, but the changes made by the players themselves according to the situation on the field.
Fortunately, he is a cheerful coach. He advocates that young players are good at making changes during the game. After all, the situation on the court is always changing in an instant, and the head coach's tactics are not omnipotent, so more often it is necessary to rely on the flashes of the players.
But the national youth team in front of him happened to be such a team.
The self-adjustment ability is very strong. In time, individual players on the field will definitely become the pillars of the Argentine national team in the future.
******
The Chinese team was at an absolute disadvantage in the first 15 minutes. Of course... this is just what the fans in the stands think. From their vision, they can see the Argentine players in blue and white striped shirts controlling the ball.
In fact, Argentina's effective possession of the ball is 30 meters away, and the shot that can actually threaten the chances of the Chinese National Youth Team's goal has not happened so far.
From a professional point of view, both sides are in a well-balanced state.
One attack and one defense.
"Pretty!"
He Wei said excitedly.
Just now Messi tried to cooperate with Zabaleta. Full-back Tan Wangsong was a little underestimated. After Messi passed the ball to Zabaleta, he ran towards the Chinese team.
What Tan Wangsong didn't expect was that the latter had no intention of stopping the ball. With a push of the arch of his foot, the football flew from his forward left side, and the football just faced Messi's forward path.
At this moment - the Argentine fans in the stands immediately exclaimed.
Because Feng Xiaoting was very focused, before Messi passed the ball, he predicted that the two would play an inverted triangle, so he blocked Messi's forward position and left the ball at his feet.
"From the perspective of the first 15 minutes of the game, the most outstanding performance is undoubtedly the captain Feng Xiaoting. His many predictions in advance have resolved all the potential dangers of the team. Here we can see his excellent defensive awareness and defensive resoluteness..."
He Wei saw Feng Xiaoting's calm expression on the big screen in the studio. While commenting, he subconsciously clenched his fists, as if he was not commenting but competing.
……
……
Seeing that his teammates are doing very well on the defensive end, Ai Luo also subconsciously clenched his fists. As the team's biggest star, he will undoubtedly carry the banner of offense when the team needs to attack.
Defensive counterattack is an important magic weapon for weak teams to win key matches in cup matches. The team is now in the defensive stage, but... this is not a long-term solution. It is impossible for a person to be in a state of mental tension all the time, and there will always be a time to relax.
Therefore, it is necessary to inject a booster into the team when necessary, and this booster is the counterattack after the defense. Only in this way can the teammates have greater confidence and take the first step for the team to win.
He also knows that this matter cannot be rushed, so in the first 15 minutes, he ran very actively in the frontcourt. Every time his teammates made a clearance, he tried his best to fight for the fleeting opportunity. Anyway, he used endless stamina potions.
So, he ran more and more...
