Chapter 920 Tit for Tat, the Battle Begins!
That's Pele. His mouth is more terrifying than his football skills.
Argentina, which was originally good, is in ruins.
Brazilian fans are not satisfied either. When you say Argentina, just say Argentina. Why are you bringing Brazil with you? Can't you just be your Brazilian football champion?
Johannesburg, this time welcomed quite a few Argentine fans.
As Argentina advanced to the knockout rounds, more and more Argentine fans came to South Africa.
I heard that Chinese fans can treat South Africa as their home court, so they keep adding more troops here.
On the day of the 1/8 finals, there were no fewer Argentines in Johannesburg than the Chinese.
They came outside the stadium in traditional blue and white jerseys, with blue and white Argentinian flags painted on their faces, and came in groups.
When they saw Chinese fans passing by, the Argentine fans took the initiative to provoke the Chinese fans.
"Hey, get ready to go home, Argentina will definitely massacre you!"
"Do you want a slap?"
Chinese fans wearing red Chinese team jerseys were also not to be outdone.
The Chinese fans who knew how to speak Spanish immediately counterattacked: "You should let Messi win the Ballon d'Or first and then talk about it. Oh, I forgot, Barcelona doesn't seem to have entered the Champions League final this year?"
"Are you talking about the score of the 2008 Olympic final?"
…
In front of Argentinian fans, Chinese fans can hold their heads high. They even used the 2008 Olympic champion to taunt Argentine fans.
Argentinian fans are asking for trouble. Although they really hope that the national team can crush the Chinese team, the problem is that the Chinese team has never suffered a loss in front of Argentina in recent years, and it still has an advantage because of Dong Fangzhuo.
Aren’t you, Messi, great? But he has not even won the Golden Globe Award. Dong Fangzhuo has already won two.
Are you great in Argentina? Isn’t the Olympic champion still in the hands of China?
※※※※
Two hours before the game,
Maradona took the lead in bringing Higuain to the press conference. He did not bring his son-in-law or successor, but brought Higuain.
The reporters at the scene were very curious. If Higuain was brought in, wouldn't it mean that Higuain would appear?
The first question reporters asked was naturally about Higuain.
"Is Higuain the center forward for this game?"
"Yes," Maradona nodded, and then elaborated on his point of view, "I think Higuain has the abilities of both Batistuta and Crespo. He will definitely have it. A very bright career prospect, he is currently in the best moment of his career and I called him at the right time."
Higuain left Argentina at a young age and came to Europe. In Real Madrid, he confirmed his main position with his super high goal rate. Originally, he was not in Maradona's eyes at first, but when Argentina After struggling in the South American qualifiers, Higuain began to exert his power in this team. In this World Cup, although Higuain wasted multiple scoring opportunities in the first game against Nigeria, he scored his first goal in the 43:1 victory over South Korea. Assist "hat trick". The object of the assist is Messi.
Obviously, Maradona will definitely not give up such a good 'partner' as Messi.
Higuain felt very honored and looked a little shy sitting next to him. He feels that he is Maradona's second most popular person after Messi. In this game, you must give Messi or Aguero an assist to the death.
He is really a forward with great understanding.
Maradona even said that he is a combination of Batistuta and Crespo. This evaluation is as high as the sky...
"Diego, how will you deal with the Chinese team?"
"Attack, attack, attack! Because our name is Argentina, we are not Italy or any other team."
Italy accidentally lays the gun down...
"Those who say that Argentina needs to focus on defense must not want Argentina to advance and defense to win? No, there is no victory without goals. We have the most powerful offensive line in the world, so we should play the most beautiful offense. , scored the most goals.”
"Messi is unique. I don't want to see those people put too much pressure on Messi. Even if he doesn't score, he is the most threatening one on the court. When he scores, I even want to go up and help him." He shines shoes."
"Messi is the nuclear weapon against the Chinese team. He has enough helpers around him. I firmly believe that under his leadership, Argentina can score goals and win."
"Diego, how do you plan to deal with the Chinese director?"
Maradona snorted coldly and said contemptuously:
"I will not spend manpower on defending one person. As I just said, the most important thing for Argentina is to attack. If we defend like Italy, then we are not Argentina, so we will not do anything special against him. Tactics.”
"Although the Chinese Director is very good, he is really not as talented as Messi. Don't forget, Messi is 2 years younger. Today is the day when Messi surpasses the Chinese Director."
real or fake? The reporters were all dubious. Maradona was also a cannon, so what he said was actually not that credible!
Do you despise Dong Fangzhuo so much?
"Diego, if you fail, will you resign from the national team?"! ! !
Maradona was almost angry, what the hell is this question!
"Are you sure you're asking a meaningful question?"
This question only arises if we lose the game, but will we lose?
"You didn't recruit Zanetti, Milito and Veron. Do you regret that?"
Farke, these are all stupid questions!
Maradona was already very impatient. Reporters all over the world seemed to be going against him, as well as Batistuta, Ortega and the others, all of whom were confused.
"Just wait and see, you will all apologize to me after the game!"
Afterwards, he simply announced the lineup and ignored these idiots.
Goalkeeper: Romero
Defenders: Otamendi, Demichelis, Burdisso and Heinze
Midfielder: Rodriguez, Mascherano, Di Maria
Forwards: Messi, Higuain, Tevez
After the list was announced, reporters refrained from asking questions.
"Diego, why no Aguero?"
Why doesn't your son-in-law play?
The reporters wanted to ask this question, but they didn't dare. They were really afraid that Diego would throw the microphone at him. Maradona really dared to do it.
Why no Aguero? At that time, Aguero had not scored a single goal in the World Cup, and Maradona did not dare to play like this anymore. As for Tevez’s appearance, it is because Argentina’s domestic voice is very high. As the world champion, he also feels pressure...
Afterwards, he left Higuain to continue the interview at the scene and escaped first.
Ten minutes later, Krauchen and Dong Fangzhuo also attended the press conference.
The reporters’ questions were still sharp.
"Mr. Krauchen, the whole world now believes that Argentina can easily crush the Chinese team and advance to the quarterfinals. Only a few people think that the Chinese team can create miracles. Do you think their views are correct?"
Krauchen would not be as angry as Maradona: "Haha, this is in line with the trend. Argentina is the favorite to win the championship, and we are just a dark horse. But I never predict the future of my team. The whole world It’s okay to think we’re going to lose the game, we just care about the result.”
"Maradona said that they have 23 talents and the Chinese team only has one, so Argentina will definitely win the Chinese team. What do you think of this?"
"The Brazilian lineup in 2006 was theoretically the strongest, but they got nothing in the end. The French team we were in the same group with has gone home, and so has Italy..."
"Argentina with 23 talents lost to Greece, so we play here."
The reporters looked confused. Old man Krauchen was so good at Tai Chi that it was not fun at all. There was no smell of gunpowder at all. Let’s ask Dong Fangzhuo!
"Dong, the day before yesterday, Messi posted a picture of raising pigs on Facebook, and then you also posted a picture of hunting wild boars. Did you do this on purpose?"
"Haha, we are only allowed to raise pigs but not kill them? This is a coincidence."
"Maradona said that although you are very good, you are not as talented as Messi. The reason why Messi lost to you is just because he is 2 years younger. What do you think?"
"I don't think so. Let's discuss this issue again after Messi has won two Ballon d'Ors, okay?"
Dong Fangzhuo is not willing to talk about Messi. Only his opponents are talking about him. Why is this? Because when you are at the top and number one, others will be eager to find things to compare with you every day, trying to close the distance between themselves and you, and they will appear to care very much...
Subsequently, the Chinese team also announced its lineup:
Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng
Defenders: Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng, Feng Xiaoting, Zhu Ting
Midfielder: Huang Bowen, Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xuri
Forward: Feng Renliang, Dong Fangzhuo, Mao Jianqing
※※※※
"Okay, now we have got the rosters of both sides. Both sides are mainly playing 433. This will be another match between the two sides after 2008. The last time was the Olympic final. The Chinese team won at that time, but it was the Olympic team at that time. The Argentina team is missing many big-name stars, and this time Argentina has gathered almost all of Argentina’s best players.”
"However, what makes Chinese fans feel regretful is that none of Inter Milan's Argentine gang has been selected for the Argentina team. It is really incredible..."
Huang Jianxiang looked at Argentina's roster and couldn't help but feel guilty for Zanetti and the others: "Although Zanetti is a bit older, he is still the best right back in Argentina."
"Milito is Argentina's most outstanding center, but Maradona also chose the young Higuain. Although Higuain is young and promising, he has weak feet in key games and is not as reliable as Milito."
"Not to mention Samuel, he is the backbone of Inter Milan's defense. To be honest, Demichelis is a big colander. Burdisso got a call after leaving Inter Milan, but he can compete with Samuel. You can’t compare.”
"In short, I just don't understand why Maradona didn't recruit. Maybe, as Batistuta said, this Argentina is not united and is just factional..."
"Hey, what you said makes sense. Argentina has been like this all these years." Zhang Lu partnered with Huang Jianxiang again this time.
"A disunited Argentina is what we need, because our Chinese team is united enough. Today Zheng Zhi returned and formed a three-back midfielder with Huang Bowen and Zhao Xuri. The offensive end mainly relies on the performance of Feng Renliang, Mao Jianqing and Dong Fangzhuo. Obviously, Argentina’s midfield and frontcourt are too strong, so we can only play defensive counterattack.”
"In ten minutes, the game will start soon."
At this time, the stadium was full, blue, white and red. Fans of the two teams almost occupied one side of the stands, making it a quite beautiful scene.
Argentinian football legends Batistuta and Ortega were sitting in the VIP seats, and the camera also showed them from time to time.
On the Chinese team's side, the Vice Chairman of the Football Association, Hao Haidong, and Fan Zhiyi are also here...
In the player tunnel, players from both sides were holding children's hands and preparing to play...
"Look at their faces, they are almost raised to the sky, as if they are sure to win." Zhu Ting muttered, standing behind Dong Fangzhuo.
"That's right. Do you want them to lower their heads and look at their toes? Don't care what others think. You and Mao Jianqing have a very heavy task today. You must keep an eye on Messi."
"That guy is really stronger than before."
Strategically, you despise your opponents, but tactically you must pay attention to them. Doesn’t Dong Fangzhuo know what kind of player Messi is...
"Don't worry, even if I die, I won't let him pass!"
Zhu Ting gritted his teeth and stared at Messi for a long time.
"Then you can die many times..."
"It's normal to be passed. The key is not to let him easily take the ball and shoot."
Dong Fangzhuo really doesn't believe that Zhu Ting can guard Messi. It was okay a few years ago, but now it's even harder.
Defending Messi requires enveloping tactics, just like the opponent is marking Dong Fangzhuo. However, Messi is much harder to defend than Dong Fangzhuo because of his short stature, low chassis, and quick footwork.
Messi is the most terrifying among Argentina's three forwards. Higuain is better because Feng Xiaoting is there. Tevez on the left is also very skilled with his feet, but he is one level lower than Messi. However, there are still others behind Tevez. There is a perverted dribbling Di Maria. If that guy goes crazy, he will be an unstoppable pervert...
No one knows this Argentina team better than Dong Fangzhuo.
but,
The Chinese team can only fight all the way!
boom,
boom,
boom,
The stadium echoed with the cheers of fans from both sides, which was as exciting as the waves crashing on the shore...
Players from both sides finally walked off the court, then lined up, shook hands, and picked sides. Zheng Zhi finally picked the kick-off, while Argentina picked the pitch.
"Dear viewers and fans, what we now bring to you is the 2010 South Africa World Cup quarter-finals, the match between China and Argentina..."
beep
Dong Fangzhuo took the lead in kicking the ball to Feng Renliang, and Feng Renliang handed the ball to Zheng Zhi, and the war officially started!
