Football: The strongest post-zero generation

“Gooooooooooooooooa1——"

Accompanied by Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's trademark elongated voice, the England fans in the audience once again raised their arms excitedly to vent the emotional outburst brought about by the expansion of the score.

The huge shouts like a tsunami perfectly set off the disappointment of the Argentine fans, and every fan looked like they were lost and depressed.

The Argentine players on the field were no better, all of them were frowning and looking extremely solemn.

The broadcast footage gave Messi a close-up shot that was pushed to his face, and from his unyielding expression could be seen a microcosm of Argentina's attack, very weak, but helpless.

England's defence was not particularly good, but the overall defense was very good, and coupled with the physical running, his teammates simply couldn't find a chance.

If his teammate is a Barcelona teammate, he has absolute confidence to help the national team equalize and even overtake.

Unfortunately, his team-mate is not a Barcelona team-mate.

Former Barcelona team-mate Mascherano is just a defensive midfielder and simply can't solve attacking problems.

Aguero has a keen sense of smell in front of the goal, but unfortunately there is no way to send a scalpel-like accurate pass, Di Maria's state continues to decline with the transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, Lo Celso's ability is good, the key is to give people a feeling of not letting go in this game, which is equivalent to saying that the burden of Argentina's attack is completely on Messi's shoulders.

Li Qing, who scored the goal, still had that helpless expression, eager to let people go up and punch him twice, but the Argentine players had no way to fight back, and they had the capital to be arrogant.

There was not much time left in the first half, England manager Southgate waved his hand, signaling the players to take a defensive counterattack, handing over the initiative of the game to Argentina, which continued to score, leaving only one Li Qing as a counterattack point in the front.

Argentine national sports commentator Angel rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Gareth Southgate's tactics are really very rogue, don't you dare to face our national team head-on?"

If Southgate could hear Angel's explanation, he would have spread his hands and said: If there is a Lee in your country, you can be a scoundrel like me!

Argentina without Li Qing and only Messi played more carefully, in order to avoid being played by Li Qing to play an efficient counterattack, the passing and receiving of the ball were basically the safety balls of horizontal passes and return passes, so the score shown on the scoreboard did not change until the end of the first half.

"The first half is over! England led Argentina 3:1 at Spartak Arena with a brace from Li Qing, a Chinese from the Celestial Empire!"

When the whistle blew from Ilmatov, the commentator of Tianchao 5 shouted: "Argentina is two goals behind, Li Qing will have many chances in the second half, and then he can surpass Pele to become the youngest hat-trick player in the history of the World Cup!"

......

The fifteen-minute halftime passed quickly, the players on both sides of the court, the on-site director gave a picture on the sidelines, and He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao 5, said in a deep voice: "The young player Pavon is standing on the sidelines, and Agen makes the first adjustment of the whole game, who is replaced?"

Speaking of which, when he saw that the red number was [5], his voice was raised twice: "Sambao used Pavon to replace Biglia in the back, is he going to put Lo Celso in the position?"

"It's a very high possibility, Lo Celso can attack and defend well, there is no problem with dragging the defense, Messi pulls to the middle and plays a number 10 position, Pavon plays right winger, it seems that Sampaoli has a bit of an idea and wants to use the breakthrough ability of the two wings to create opportunities. "

Commentator Xu Yang immediately expressed his concerns: "Di Maria and Pavon have good breakthrough ability. However, there is a lack of a center forward who can compete for the top in the penalty area, and Aguero is very capable, but the dominance in the box is not as good as that of 'Little Smoking Gun' Higuain. "

The second half of the game began in the discussion between He Wei and Xu Yang, and Argentina, which had the advantage of kick-off, played very directly, and after the formation was dispersed, it was directly given to the feet of Pavon on the right side.

Ashley Young has a lot of experience in the game, he doesn't eat Pavon's feints at all, plus Henderson's supplemental defense, there are many defensive ways to face the 21-year-old Pavon, so that Pavon, who has not experienced the baptism of high-level football in Europe, has no way.

Pavon failed to put pressure on the left side of the England defence, and Messi, who organized the attack, had to hand over the football to Di Maria to see if he could open a gap on the left side of the attack.

Compared with the experienced Ashley Young, Alexander-Arnold is still relatively immature, but Southgate was more thoughtful before the game, and Dier and Kyle Walker were very timely in making up for the defense, and did not give Di Mari a good opportunity to break through in the Asia-Pacific region.

In the end, the Argentine attack will still be completed by Messi himself.

However, Messi broke through with the ball and lacked space, but England's attack, which turned into a steady counterattack, played brilliantly.

For this reason, Argentina has already received yellow cards for three defenders in the ten minutes of the second half.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, the live director gave Sampaoli a close-up shot that was pushed to his face, and the fans sitting in front of the TV could clearly see that his murderous face was very depressed, obviously not knowing how to make adjustments next.

The forward line brought by the full attack is unacceptable to the team's current situation, once England scores another goal, then hitting this game means losing without a doubt!

However, while taking into account the defense, it seems that the offensive three-dimensionality is not enough, and it cannot bring enough support to the frontcourt players.

Headache!

In the 58th minute, England made a substitution, and the veteran Milner replaced Dier, who received a yellow card for defending Messi.

Minutes pass very quickly in high-level matches, and in the past 20 minutes of the second half, Sampaoli saw that the team's attack had not yet taken effect, and he was ready to replace Di Maria with Higuain, who did not play a big role, to increase the high point scramble in the penalty area, so he stood in front of the coach's bench and patiently explained the tactics to Higuain.

At this moment, the referee Ilmatov's whistle sounded, followed by a shout: "aoaooaoaoo-"

Sampaoli felt a 'pop' in his heart, looked up, and saw Harry Kane fall in front of the arc of the penalty area, and the referee Ilmatov ruthlessly gave Otamendi a yellow card, and immediately realized that the situation was quite bad.

Not to mention that the foul position is very delicate, Otamendi received a yellow card, which is equivalent to saying that except for right-back Salvio, all defenders are now carrying yellow cards......

There are more than 20 minutes left in the game, and I don't know if the defenders will be able to hold on.

The team is two goals down, and the main theme is to change to a different attacking player.

Immediately, his eyes were attracted by England's No. 10 player, and the uneasiness in his heart instantly swept through his body.

At the same time, He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Radio 5, raised his voice an octave: "This position is very suitable for Li Qing to take the penalty, will he contribute his third goal of the game? Will he surpass the football king Pele again to become the youngest hat-trick player in the World Cup?"
