My uncle is Inzaghi

Chapter 242 I am the main one

Host.

Brazil team.

World Cup semi-finals.

One to seven.

The news linked by these few words, even without adding any modifiers, is enough to make all other news about the World Cup fade away.

"The Germans are crazy!"

Many media said so.

Yes.

They must be crazy.

This is their home court.

The Brazilian team is not the mortal enemy of the Germans.

Beat someone seven to one

Many people are mourning the Brazilian team.

Now no one is discussing the winning odds or anything like that.

Even the Italian team was talking about this game during training.

In front of the bloody seven to one.

No one can deny the strength of the German team.

However, Prandelli reminded their players during training: "Our opponent is Argentina, not Germany!"

When talking about the German team, at least wait until the team defeats Argentina and enters the final.

The day after the match between Germany and Brazil.

The match between Italy and Argentina is about to begin.

before this.

The media in Argentina cheered for the Argentine team.

In order to give Argentina fans more confidence.

The Argentine media mentioned a record: As long as the World Cup is held in South America, the South American team must win the championship!

Now, Brazil is eliminated.

Now the only local team in South America is Argentina.

Doesn't this mean

According to this record, will Argentina win the championship?

What is destiny?

Argentines do believe this.

After all, this is a Catholic country with quite religious fanaticism.

Even before the game.

Many Argentina are chanting "God is on Argentina's side!"

The atmosphere in the stadium before the game was so lively.

The Argentines were close to the water, and they created a warm enough atmosphere in the stands.

Blue and white pieces of paper were flying, and a huge pattern of the Argentine flag appeared in the stands.

Fans from both sides are waiting for the start of the game that will determine who can advance to the World Cup finals.

Players from both sides have finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room.

In the Argentina dressing room.

Argentina head coach Sabilia said to his players: "Guys, we now have a tough opponent. I know everyone is afraid of their forward Li Mo. But the main focus of this game is offense! "

Everyone looked at Leo Messi.

Argentines believe that Messi will definitely not be weaker than Li Mo.

Inside the Italian dressing room.

Prandelli is emphasizing defense.

"We can't give them too much space."

Prandelli said.

"As long as we can defend their offense, we will definitely win this game."

Because Li Mo can definitely score!

Prandelli and the Italian players thought so in their hearts.

"We are going to defeat them in the most Italian way!!"

In anticipation.

Players from both sides finally appeared in the player tunnel.

This also means that the game is about to begin.

In the televised footage, a close-up of Messi appeared.

"Messi! Leo Messi! Many people say that this is Messi's revenge battle, his revenge battle against Li Mo!"

The Argentine commentator said in an encouraging tone.

"He will definitely be full of motivation! Let's look forward to Leo Messi's performance in this game!"

Subsequently.

The camera locked on Li Mo.

The Argentine commentator's tone also became serious.

"Li Mo may be the only player in the world who can score goals better than Messi. Our defense must be alert enough to him!"

As the commentators were talking.

Players from both sides have arrived on the court.

Immediately after various pre-match ceremonies.

The players stood in their respective positions, waiting for the game to start.

"Both sides have sent all their main players to play!"

"On the Argentina side, goalkeeper Romero, center back Demichelis partnered with Garay, left back Rojo, right back Zabaleta, midfielder Biglia, Enzo, Perez, Masche Lano, the forward trident is Lavezzi, Higuain and Messi!”

"On the Italian side, goalkeeper Buffon, center back partner Chiellini and Bonucci, left back Saletta, right back Darmian, and the three defensive midfielders are De Rossi, Pirlo, and Montoli Wo, frontcourt trident Li Mo and Verratti!”

Just as the commentator finished speaking.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game!

"Okay! The referee's whistle sounds, and the second game of the 2014 semi-finals has officially begun. Italy and Argentina will compete for the last place to advance to the finals!"

As the commentators raised their voices one after another.

Argentina took advantage of the advantage of taking the first kick and launched the offensive first!

Five minutes before the game.

It was almost an Argentina half-time siege.

In these five minutes, Argentina had four consecutive offensive opportunities.

After an attack failed, Argentina quickly regained the ball through high-intensity siege in the frontcourt.

Wave after wave of offensives were launched.

during these attacks.

Messi is undoubtedly the brightest star on the field.

Because he is the finisher in Argentina's frontcourt.

No matter how he passes the ball.

In the end, the ball will be at his feet, and then he will complete the attack.

Of course, there is a center forward in Argentina's lineup.

That is Higuain.

However, Higuain provided cover and played the role of ball-playing for Messi in this game.

Messi played on the right wing in this game, using his left foot advantage to cut inside and threaten Italy's goal.

Higuain is actually a center forward with great goal-scoring ability.

But there is no way.

Who made his teammate Messi.

Because Messi is really good at scoring goals.

It stands to reason that Messi should be a center forward himself, right?

He has played as a center forward.

Guardiola once let Messi stand in the middle.

But that is not the center forward's style, but the shadow forward's style.

In fact, this is right.

Although Messi's physical confrontation ability is not weak, at least in the jungle of defenders who are mostly muscular.

Messi's physical confrontation ability is really not the top one in football.

Being drowned in the jungle of muscle sticks will only make Messi lose the advantages brought by his flexibility, skills and speed.

Get the ball outside the opponent's defense zone, and then use personal ability or cooperation with teammates to advance and tear open the opponent's defense.

This is what Messi is good at.

In addition, Argentina's tactics in this game are to attack!

Use powerful attacks to score goals.

Although Di Maria, another top star of the team, is injured, Argentina still has Lavezzi to take over.

In addition.

Sitting on the bench is Aguero-Aguero, who scored 27 league goals in the Premier League last season, can only play as a substitute in this Argentina team, which shows how luxurious Argentina's forward line is.

Compared with their forward line.

Argentina's defense and midfield are somewhat mediocre-of course, this mediocrity is compared with their forward line.

In the world.

Argentina's midfield and backcourt are actually first-class.

It's just not as dazzling as their forward line.

So.

It's not surprising that Sabella has formulated an attacking tactic against Italy.

Prandelli didn't need to think too hard to guess it.

But what he didn't expect was

Argentina's offensive.

It was so fierce!

This made Prandelli frown.

He came to the sidelines.

His face was a little solemn.

"Messi! Messi! Messi!!"

In the commentary booth, I don't know how many commentators were shouting Messi's name.

Messi got the ball on the right side.

He continued to play against his teammates, and finally cut in when facing Montolivo. Although Montolivo pulled him up, he failed to pull Messi over.

Messi's lower body was still very stable.

He staggered two steps, and then quickly adjusted his center of gravity-his sense of balance is also quite strong.

In fact.

Many people think that Messi's skills are great but his body is not.

This is a kind of image flow.

Messi's absolute strength is not very strong.

But in other aspects, he is definitely a top existence.

His physical talent is also quite impressive, especially his pace and balance bar, which are enough to be the top-level talent in history.

It is worth mentioning.

Many fans think that physical fitness is trained and technology is talent.

But the reality is just the opposite.

With the training intensity of professional players.

They can quickly touch the upper limit of their physical fitness, while technology. can continue to climb through constant training.

This means.

Physical talent is a real talent, the kind of talent that has an obvious ceiling no matter how hard you try, and this ceiling is very high for some people.

On the court.

If you are not as strong as others, you can't resist.

If you are not as fast as others, you can't catch up.

If you are not as responsive as others, you can't grab.

This kind of talent.

Often in the top arena, it is the key to determine whether a player can stand in the professional arena.

And Messi.

Although he is not tall, there is no doubt that his physical talent is very strong.

Just like now.

He was pulled by Montolivo and regained his balance with just a slight stumble - Montolivo, on the other hand, was still stumbling.

Montolivo staggered, looking at Messi in horror as he had already cut the ball in!

"Messi. Cut in!!"

"Messi. Shoot!!!!!!!!!"

The whole stadium suddenly became quiet at this moment.

Italian fans looked at the scene of the left foot scooping the ball towards the goal in horror.

It was Messi who completed the shot. The place where he completed the shot was the point called "Messi Corridor".

All Italian fans seemed to have their hearts stopped beating at this moment.

And the Argentine fans held their breath, fearing that their voices would scare the football flying towards the goal.

The Italian players also showed a look of fear.

The football drew an arc in the Italian penalty area and flew towards the goal.

Buffon was very focused.

When Messi shot, his footsteps began to move towards his near corner.

After Messi finished shooting, he jumped up and pounced! !

Facing the incoming ball, he just flicked the ball with his fingertips, and the football had a slight change of direction!

That's it.

Saved Italy!

The football hit the post with a thud and bounced off the baseline.

"Ahhh! The post! The post rejected Messi's shot!!"

"Buffon! Buffon saved Italy!!"

The commentators in the commentary box all exclaimed.

The Argentinian let out a regretful intake of breath.

All over Buenos Aires.

The whole city lamented the goal that hit the post.

Messi held his head in his hands and appeared in a close-up of the TV broadcast.

Sorry though.

But whether it's Argentina's players or fans, or their media personnel.

At this time, everyone was full of confidence in this game.

because

This seems to be a good start for Argentina

And this time.

The Italian defense players began to communicate with each other, and they were reviewing the mistakes of this defense.

The team did not panic because of this ball.

The Argentine team was inspired by this attack, pressed forward heavily, and launched a very fierce offensive.

Five minutes into the game.

Argentina attacked hard but failed to score.

The Italian defensive players were quite focused after receiving the warning from Messi's shot.

In addition, Italy has a three-midfielder formation.

In this case, Italy's defense is of high quality and they cannot easily concede the ball.

Although Messi takes the ball and attacks a lot.

But there is no special defense against Messi on the Italian side.

Instead, it maintains the integrity of an overall defensive system. The advantage of this is that it can avoid being led by Messi alone to mess up the defense.

Of course, this also involves certain risks, and no defense can be foolproof.

However, Messi has not had enough chances to score in these five minutes.

Just when Argentina was ready to regroup and continue their attack.

Italy finally started their first offensive attack of the game.

Originally, Argentina planned to slow down the pace first, take a breath, adjust the state, and restart the offensive.

However, Italy did not give them a chance.

Of course Italy knows that Argentina's offense is very powerful.

They will not give Argentina a chance to readjust their offensive form.

When Argentina tried to slow down and reorganize, Italy immediately seized the gap and pressed forward.

In the frontcourt, Li Mo received the pass with his back.

He protected the ball firmly.

Biglia behind him couldn't even shake Li Mo.

Li Mo was waiting for his teammates to rush forward, and then he passed the ball.

He gave the ball to Verratti who came up to receive the ball.

Verratti faced the defense of Argentina left back Rojo.

He didn't push his way through.

It's not that I'm worried that I won't be able to get through, but it's just a waste of time.

When you get through, even passing Rojo is meaningless, because it will give Argentina time to reorganize its defensive formation.

So he simply stopped the ball.

Then he looked at the penalty area and made a fake move that made Rojo shake, and then immediately connected with the pass with his right foot!

The football drew an arc and flew towards the penalty area!

The distance of this cross is too long, so Verratti passes the ball very quickly.

Use the inside of your foot to rub the football up with a strong spin.

Coupled with the ball speed brought by the rapid swing of the calf.

The speed of football is almost the same as that of an ordinary arcing free kick.

If it is passed to another player.

This ball speed is obviously difficult to handle.

But Verratti and the Italian players all know it.

If you give Li Mo such a ball, you don't have to worry about it being difficult for Li Mo to handle - if it's difficult for Li Mo to handle the ball, it will be even more difficult for the defensive players!

"Verratti crosses! Li Mo!!!"

as the commentators exclaimed.

The Argentinian fans' hearts were in their throats.

Everyone knows.

Li Mo's header is so good.

Therefore, when Argentina fans saw Li Mo jumping high in the penalty area, they couldn't help but scream.

From the bottom of their hearts they are afraid of this situation.

Demichelis is fighting against Li Mo.

He leaned his whole body against Li Mo, hoping to interfere with Li Mo's shot in this way.

He did succeed this time.

Under the interference of Demichelis.

This time, although Li Mo hit the ball, he missed it slightly.

Of course Demichelis knew how powerful Li Mo was.

Moreover, during this period, Argentina's focus was on how to defend Li Mo. In order to contain Li Mo, Demichelis watched a lot of Li Mo's game videos.

If it were a head-on confrontation, he would have no confidence at all.

Therefore, Demichelis could only rely on such small actions.

This is also a strategy.

After all, heading is an all-round competition.

Body, bounce, judgment of placement, accuracy of heading the ball, etc.

Indispensable.

Therefore, it is usually difficult to see players who consistently score with headers in amateur competitions.

Because heading the ball is actually very difficult.

Especially heading the ball towards goal.

A little disturbing

Can't head the ball comfortably.

It's easy to be too high or too high, or even just hit the ball from the top.

This success gave Demichelis some relief.

But he didn't show it.

keep Calm.

Neither arrogant nor impetuous.

It is the quality of an excellent defender,

The success of this kind of defense once or twice is nothing.

The key is whether it can last a whole game.

This attack ended with Li Mo's header.

But then Italy quickly grabbed the ball and organized another attack.

Although Italy has formulated guidelines for defensive counterattacks.

But their defense is not a passive defense that retreats into its own half.

But active defense.

Aggressive forward pressure.

When the Argentinian midfielders get the ball, give them full pressure!

This is different from setting up a bus.

This defense is very aggressive.

And once the ball is intercepted in the frontcourt.

Italy will complete the attack soon!

Both sides have adopted their own game strategies that they are good at!

It's all about me.

This game just started not long ago.

Both sides come and go.

The fight was quite lively.
