Football super ace shooter

As time went by, the focus battle between the Netherlands and Germany was temporarily ignored, and the focus gradually shifted to the focus of Group D. The favorite and defending champion was eliminated. Media and fans around the world wanted to know whether Argentina, the runner-up of the last World Cup, would be eliminated. Out with Germany...

St. Petersburg, Zenit Arena, half an hour before the start of the game, the 68,000 spectators are already full, and the fanatical atmosphere of the game sweeps the entire stadium.

While staying at a hotel in the Netherlands, Van Dijk asked captain Van Kerry before the game started:"Kerry, who do you think our opponent is in the 1/8 finals?"

"Argentina."

Fan Kerry said categorically.

"Why?"

Van der Beek, Frenkie de Jong and De Ligt asked in unison.

The other teammates did not speak, but their expressions betrayed their curiosity.

Van Kerry enjoyed this feeling of being surrounded by stars and said calmly. :"The reason is very simple. We massacred Germany in Luzhniki. If Argentina wins, it will be eliminated with Germany. That kind of criticism and criticism is definitely an ending they don't want to see, and it will definitely burst out with amazing energy."

At this point, he paused and smiled half-heartedly:"Nigeria can qualify if they draw, but this possibility has deceived many people, which has led to Nigerians abandoning their strengths and choosing defense. Leo I think everyone here is very aware of the offensive capabilities of Messi, Angel Di Maria, and Gonzalo Higuain."

"If Nigeria plays against Argentina, I think... Argentina is likely to be eliminated. Unfortunately... a draw will limit the possibility of Nigeria taking risks, which means that Argentina will have a high probability of defeating Nigeria."

What Van Kerry said was well-founded and logical, but Van Der Beek still wanted to use force. He smiled and said:"Kerry, aren't you afraid that Croatia will lose to Iceland?"

Van Kerry rolled his eyes and said speechlessly:"Doni, I don't know how you can catch up with Estelle with your IQ. Isn't Croatia shameless? At most it will be a draw, and there is a high probability of winning."

"real or fake?"

Vanderbeek said suspiciously

"How about... let's make a bet?"

Fan Kerry seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and Van Der Beek shuddered:"The devil will make a bet with you, watch the game, watch the game!"

"Ha ha ha ha——"

The Dutch players let out a good-natured laugh

……

Ross The qualifying battle between Argentina and Nigeria kicked off on time at 9pm local time.

At the Kazan Stadium, the final round of the group match between Croatia and Iceland also announced its kick-off at this time.

Compared to Argentina who need to win to qualify, Nigeria only needs a draw.

However, this name that can appear after a draw has deceived many people. The Nigerian players preparing for the final round of the World Cup are trembling.

Argentine star Messi was affected by Van Kerry's hat-trick and led the team to launch a flood of attacks against Nigeria at the beginning.

The Nigerians were obviously well prepared. They did not panic at all when faced with the offensive line led by Messi, and were able to launch a quick counterattack to threaten the Argentine goal.

Unexpectedly, it was their quick counterattack that gave Argentina a chance.

In the fourteenth minute of the game, Nigeria's quick counterattack was interrupted. Banega sent a precise long pass from the center circle. Messi, who was running at high speed, used his right thigh to stop the ball forward and broke into the right rib of the penalty area. Using his non-dominant right foot, he hit the ball into the goal guarded by Uzoho from ten yards to help Argentina open the scoring.

Argentina took the lead in the game, and Van Dijk couldn't help but give Van Kerry a thumbs up:"Awesome!"

"Average, third in the world."

Van Kerry said modestly.

Dutch players:"……"

In the subsequent game time, Argentina still maintained its offensive, hoping to kill the game and stabilize the situation, thus preventing possible moves by Croatia and Iceland.

It's a pity that the scoring luck was not very good, and no more goals were scored until the end of the first half.

In the fifth minute of the second half, the situation of the game suddenly changed. Mascherano accidentally tripped the Nigerian player Balogun while defending in the penalty area. The referee on duty, Cakir, decisively awarded a penalty kick.

Then the video referee intervened. Through replay, Mascherano did tripped Balogun. There was no doubt that a penalty kick was made. Chelsea player Moses hit the penalty kick to help Nigeria equalize the score.

Van der Beek smiled next to him and said:"Kerry, Nigeria has equalized the score.~"

"The fun is yet to come."

Van Kerry looked like he was strategizing.

If the game ends with a score of 1:1, Croatia and Nigeria in Group D will advance. The number one star Messi is obviously unwilling to accept such an ending. He and the whole team are going crazy. During the attack.

The score returned to the same starting line. The Nigerians made the mistake of holding on to the score again and chose to defend with a solid fence in the backcourt. However, they only defended without attacking for a long time after equalizing the score.

Until In the 85th minute of the game, Manchester United player Rojo, who had learned the ghost movement from Van Kerry, unexpectedly appeared in the dangerous area in the middle of the penalty area. Mercado made a pass and the unmarked Rojo shot home. The score was exceeded again.

2:1!

Messi, who failed to score but brought different help to Argentina's offense, was very excited. He jumped directly on Rojo's back. After scoring behind, he opened his arms crazily and carried him all the way. Messi ran wildly and celebrated this hard-won goal wildly.

If the game ends with this score, Argentina will qualify for this World Cup as the second place in the group!

Because another game in the same group was held at the Kazan Arena The game is now tied at 1:1!

But Argentina head coach Sampaolo is not happy. On the contrary, he is worried that the Croatians will let go. Once Iceland completes the victory at the last minute, Iceland can beat Nigeria with a goal difference advantage. Argentina qualified as second in the group!

Considering this possibility, Argentina still maintained a high fighting spirit in the restarted game.

Nigeria, which was facing elimination once it lost, panicked and stepped up its attack. However, due to the impact of physical fitness, the two teams No more goals were scored at the last moment.

The score of 2:1 was maintained until the end of the game.

Just after the game, captain Messi and many players entered the coaching bench and asked about the situation of another game in the same group.

They We know that defeating Nigeria 2:1 is not enough to guarantee promotion to the top 16.

Head coach Sampaoli smiled and said to the eager Argentine players:"Guys, Croatia defeated Iceland 2:1, we have advanced! but……"

At this point, he changed the subject and became serious:"But our opponent in the 1/8 finals is the Netherlands, the favorite to win the championship, a very bad opponent." The

Argentine players felt varying degrees of nervousness. Captain Messi was At this time, he stood up and encouraged his teammates:"It's a little late to advance to the top 16. Our opponents have no choice, but we can meet the challenge through hard work! It's not scary to have strong opponents. What's scary is that we are full of fear of the unknown game.! Please believe in each other, we will definitely advance to the quarterfinals of the World Cup! Even win the championship!"

Messi is a player who likes to influence his players with actions. Now he suddenly said such a philosophical statement, which made his teammates feel strange, but More of a high morale.

Because...what Messi said makes sense!

As professional players, they all have a spirit of refusing to admit defeat. Even if they are as strong as Van Carey, they will not surrender.

If you don’t accept it, do it!

It’s just a fight against the Netherlands, what are you afraid of?

At the same time, in the center of Moscow, at the hotel where the Netherlands was staying, Van Kerry stretched himself:"It's great to play against Argentina in the 1/8 finals!"

Other Dutch players:"……"

Damn you!

The best opponent is Nigeria!
