Chapter 310 Two football kings come forward to express their opinions. Pele: I am optimistic about Spain winning the championship!

"Great goal!"

"Lin Quan's goal kicked Argentina into the abyss!"

Seeing Lin Quan score a goal, commentators speaking various languages ​​in TV broadcast rooms in various countries were explaining the goal to the fans excitedly in a very fast tone.

Major TV stations were also replaying this goal over and over again, from Busquets' steal, to Xavi's pass, to the series of passes and movements by the Spanish players in the frontcourt.

This goal is undoubtedly the credit of the entire team!

"The Spanish team used excellent teamwork to complete an incredible goal!"

"When Lin Quan finished the shot, he was probably less than two meters away from the goal. The ball almost went into the goal!"

After watching the Spanish goal in slow motion, commentators from various countries could not help but sigh: "Everyone is saying that after Guardiola left Barcelona, ​​with the decline of the peak Barcelona, ​​passing and controlling football will also come to an end.

However, I believe that any fan who has watched these two semi-finals will not think that passing and controlling football will decline.

After learning Spain's passing and controlling football, the German team's fighting power has not decreased but increased. The 7:1 bloodbath of Brazil is the best proof of this.

And after Lin Quan joined the team, Spain finally put together the dream lineup in their minds.

The Spanish team on the field gave people the feeling that the peak Barcelona of the past was back! Their ability to control the game and their ability to pressure the opponent were terrifying! Although the current score was only 1:0, Spain's lead did not seem to be much.

However, after Lin Quan scored this goal, the situation of the game had changed dramatically. Argentina's winning rate plummeted, from 64 to 82 or even 91! If Argentina could not equalize the score as soon as possible in the second half, they would slowly suffocate to death under Spain's suffocating pressure tactics.

Argentina's head coach Sabella has begun to sweat on his forehead! It's a hot day, but his hands and feet feel cold, as if he has fallen into an ice cellar.

Originally, he intended to launch a defensive counterattack, but his team fell behind by one goal before even making it through the first half, which completely ruined his plan.

In the second half, Argentina had no choice but to attack with all their might.

However, after seeing the strong offensive ability displayed by the Spanish team in the first half, Sabella was very nervous.

Is it really possible to play against such a team? He studied Spain's previous five games and found that many teams were able to deal with Spain in the first half.

But once Spain scored a goal against them and broke the deadlock, they quickly collapsed and conceded the second, third and even fourth goal to the opponent.

This was the case with the Netherlands in the first game, Chile in the second game, and Mexico and Costa Rica in the knockout rounds.

And now, Argentina has the same script as these teams.

If they choose to launch a massive counterattack like these teams, the outcome will probably not be much better than these teams! This is also the reason why the outside world is not optimistic about Argentina after they lost the ball.

Facing Spain, a team that had almost never been defeated, falling behind basically meant death.

If Argentina did not have a superstar like Messi, the outside world would not even give it that last 20% chance of winning.

The reason why I think Argentina still has a chance is entirely because of Messi.

After all, a superstar of his level can create miracles once he explodes!

However, Messi was in a low mood at this time.

Seeing Lin Quan being surrounded by Spanish players and celebrating wildly, he suddenly felt a little envious of them.

If I had chosen to join the Spanish team, then I would probably be the one surrounded by my teammates now! Shaking his head, Messi shook off this thought.

As an Argentine, he has an obligation to fight for Argentina, and he will not regret his decision!

Instead of sinking into regret, it is better to cheer up, play well, and try to equalize the score as soon as possible! At this time, Messi's competitive spirit has been completely aroused.

He won't let Lin Quan take the lead!

He has been looking forward to the World Cup for more than eight years!

This time, we must not let it slip away easily!

Wait until Spain finishes celebrating and the game resumes.

They found that Messi became more active than before.

In the 45th minute, Messi's breakthrough caused Busquets to foul, and the latter received a yellow card.

Busquets and Messi are teammates in the club and their relationship has always been good.

But when he is on the court, Professor Bu is ruthless when it comes to fouling.

In the previous match, he judged that he could not let Messi pass, otherwise it would pose a huge threat to his own goal, so he chose to foul.

However, after the foul, he immediately went to Messi to apologize, so as not to let the foul affect the relationship between the two.

Although Professor Bu loves acting, his emotional intelligence has always been good.

Messi didn't have much temper, so Busquets didn't kick him, but instead pulled him down.

This foul was not too bad, and the opponent had already received a yellow card, so he couldn't say anything else.

After all, after finishing the national team game, he still has to go back to the club. The two of them will see each other every day, and it will not be good for anyone if the relationship becomes too strained.

After this foul, there was little time left in the first half.

Argentina decided to take advantage of this free kick and sent the ball into the penalty area in an attempt to head it in.

But Spain's defense was very tight. After the ball fell into the penalty area, Ramos headed it out at the first point.

After the Argentine player on the outside got the ball, he fired a long shot which went high, and the referee immediately blew the whistle to end the first half.

With a one-goal deficit, the Argentine players returned to the locker room with solemn expressions.

"Come on, Argentina!"

"Come on, Messi!"

Seeing this scene, the fans of Argentina and Messi who came to the scene shouted loudly, cheering for the team and players.

In fact, after Argentina fell behind, these fans have been cheering for the team loudly.

They did not abandon or insult their team, but kept shouting and faithfully fulfilling the role of the best twelve! Since the host Brazil team had been eliminated, Argentina became the last hope of South America.

This made many Brazilian fans who came to watch the game put aside their grudges and start cheering for Argentina when Argentina fell behind in the score.

People naturally sympathize with the weak. Judging from the situation on the field and the current score, Argentina is undoubtedly the weak one.

Therefore, even Ronaldo, who said before the game, "It doesn't matter who wins the championship, as long as it's not Argentina," cheered for Argentina on social media.

"Come on, Argentine brothers, use your courage to defend the dignity of South American football!"

Ronaldo's remarks inspired other stars to follow suit.

Ronaldinho, who has a good relationship with Messi and has always regarded Messi as his younger brother, also posted on social media: "Go ahead, Messi, let them see your true strength!"

With both Brazilian players speaking out, how could Argentina's stars sit back and do nothing? Batistuta said: "I believe a miracle will happen, because my compatriots will fight to the last minute!"

Football King Maradona also stood up and said during an interview with reporters during the halftime break:

"Argentina will definitely win. We have the strength. We have Messi, Higuain and Di Maria. We will definitely make it to the final!"

The King of Football hopes very much to see Argentina lift the World Cup again, just like when he led Argentina to win the World Cup in Mexico!

In this Argentine team, there is a player who he considers to be his successor, and that is Leo Messi!

Maradona firmly believes that Messi can become a football king like himself.

In order to become the king of football, leading your team to win the World Cup is almost a necessary condition!

So, Messi, go ahead! You can do it!

Maradona has come out to express his opinion. How can Pele, another football king who loves to express his opinions in the media and on social networking sites, sit still? However, Pele knows that his nickname is Crow Mouth, so he did not directly wish Argentina, but mischievously posted on social networking sites:

"Hey, listen guys, I think the Spanish team is so strong, they will definitely win the World Cup!"

After Bailey's tweet was released, it immediately attracted responses from countless fans.

"Haha, Pele has bad words for Spain. Does that mean Spain will be eliminated?"

"I may not be eliminated, but the championship is most likely on the line, right?"

"Haha, you above have underestimated Pele's ability to make bad predictions. His ability to make bad predictions is recognized to be strong. Since he thinks Spain will win the championship, Spain will most likely not even make it to the finals!"

"Hiss, is it so scary?"

"Is it scary? Yes, it is scary!"

"I was so scared, I thought Pele would bless Argentina, but luckily this terrible thing didn't happen!"

"Argentine fans, why don't you thank King Pele for not killing you!"

"Thank you for not killing me, King Bailey!"

"Thank you for not killing me, King Bailey!"

…

Argentine fans lined up to post messages of thanks to Pele, but the Spanish fans who rushed to the scene after hearing the news could not help but become indignant after reading Pele's tweet.

"Damn, the Argentines are so despicable that they actually invited Pele, a jinx, to bully us!"

"This is going to be bad!"

"It's okay. Spain is blessed with a long life and won't be easily poisoned!"

"Can anyone tell Bosque to just use 11 defenders in the second half and play in a full-back formation?"

Spanish fans were a little panicked, so much so that even the weird suggestion of using 11 defenders came out.

Pele's record of bad predictions is obvious to all, and the teams that were badly predicted by him never had a good ending.

Spain has great hopes of defending its title in this World Cup. It now has the advantage on the field and is one foot away from reaching the final.

After being suddenly warned by Pele, Spanish fans began to worry.

In the Spanish dressing room, Bosque did not know that his team was being tricked by Pele.

He was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, so he told the players to continue playing according to the tactics in the first half in the second half.

Of course, considering Xavi's old age, if Argentina wants to launch a full-scale counterattack in the second half, Xavi is most likely to become the breakthrough point.

So he planned to replace Xavi in ​​the 60th minute of the second half. In the 15 minutes in between, he would decide whether to attack or defend based on the situation of the game.

Bosque has a lot of cards in his hand, with 12 players available on the bench.

The World Cup is better in that even if the players brought to the World Cup are not included in the starting lineup, they can all sit on the bench.

When necessary, just choose the player you need and send him on the court.

The halftime break ended quickly and the second half began.

After the two sides changed venues, Argentina kicked off the attack.

The Argentines did not make any further attempts and immediately launched an attack on Spain after the kick-off.

Just as Bosque predicted, the opponent really used Xavi as a breakthrough point.

Busquets received a yellow card in the first half and was reluctant to commit fouls when defending.

Xavi is older and his physical fitness and condition are not as good as before.

This limited the defensive capabilities of Spain's two defensive midfielders and gave the Argentines an opportunity.

In the 47th minute of the second half, Argentina broke through the Spanish defense with a wall pass on the right. Zabaleta made a cross from the bottom, but Alba cleared the ball out of the baseline before Higuain.

The attack seemed to be launched from the wing, but the ball was a pass from the middle by Messi after he passed Xavi.

If the Spanish midfielder could have intercepted and stopped Messi's pass, then this offensive threat would not have occurred at all.

On the sidelines, Bosque had already stood up from his seat.

Argentina's attack was more fierce than he had imagined, and the connection between Messi and Di Maria created a huge threat on the right.

If the connection between them cannot be cut off, similar attacks will probably occur again.

Thinking of this, he did not continue waiting, but called Martinez over and asked him to warm up.

Martinez originally played as a defensive midfielder. Although he was transformed into a defender at Bayern, he can still play in the defensive midfielder position.

Spain now needs his strong interception and sweeping ability to protect its own defense line.

But who would be a better replacement?

Should we replace Xavi or Busquets?

Bosque was a little troubled for a moment, and just when he was troubled, a huge change occurred on the field!

In the 55th minute of the second half, Argentina took a corner kick from the left side to the center of the penalty area. Garay leaned forward and headed the ball, but it hit the crossbar.

The football did not go out of bounds, and the ball that bounced back caused a scramble by players from both sides.

When Mascherano and Busquets were competing for a header, they both looked at the ball and did not notice each other. When the two jumped up, their heads hit each other heavily.

After a loud bang, the two men fell straight down on the lawn.

The noise from the collision of their heads was so loud that nearby players and the referee could hear it.

The referee quickly ran over to check the situation, and after examining the injuries of the two men, he signaled for a stretcher to be brought up.

The team doctors of Spain and Argentina came onto the field with stretchers to treat the players who fell to the ground.

Both of them were seriously injured and had no way to continue.

As a last resort, both sides had to make substitutions.

Argentina replaced the injured Mascherano with Biglia, while Bosque replaced Busquets with Martinez who had just finished warming up.

However, after replacing Busquets, Xavi's physical problem was still not solved.

That is to say, a few minutes later, Spain still needs to make another substitution.

Thinking of this, Bosque looked back at the bench. He glanced at Koke and Xabi Alonso and hesitated, not knowing who to send on the field.
