Chapter 128 Tenacious Mexico

Chapter 128 Tenacious Mexico

"I want to say sorry to everyone. My command made a mistake in the first half." Aguirre said with a dark expression. He is the hero of Mexico's promotion to the World Cup, but to be honest, his coaching level can only be said to be average. , It can be seen that Aguirre is reckless, aggressive, and interested, and when it comes to critical moments, he will mess up and follow the steps of others.

The Mexican team was able to emerge from the group. In fact, it was a lot of luck. First of all, the lineup sent by Aguirre in the first game against South Africa was confusing. The right back Aguilar frequently assisted, and he was good at playing right back Osorio played central defender. At that time, the goalkeeper Perez had already shown the shortcomings of Mexico. In addition, the forward Franco repeatedly wasted good opportunities, and the teenager Hernandez at the center position was not able to start. When he fell behind, Aguirre was taken away. Forced to play the two cards Blanco and Guardado in his hand helplessly.

In the second game against France, Aguirre improved the lineup and allowed Osorio to return to the right. Marquez, who is good at passing the ball, played the midfielder, allowing Moreno, who is more flexible and has a decent speed, to hit. As a defender, it is not difficult to guess the tactical system arranged by Aguirre. Torado and Juarez form protection on the left and right of Marquez, while the transporters in the midfield are Marquez, Torado and Juarez. Mainly responsible for defense. But what is incomprehensible is that Aguirre let Bella play left forward again. First of all, Bella is not good at playing on the left. He often returns to the back of the central striker habitually. He will disappear, and his state is very bad, with too many mistakes in dribbling, passing, and shooting, but Guardado, who is good at playing on the left and has a strong passing ability, does not give any chances.

The third game was almost a replica of the second game, but unfortunately, the Mexican team lost. In this game, Aguirre finally corrected all his mistakes and played all the strong players in his hands, but he made the wrong choice to play against the Belgian team. As a result, the Mexican team fell behind by two goals at the end of the first half.

"But we have no other choice!"

Obviously, Aguirre is going to attack to the end. It cannot be said that Aguirre is right or wrong. This time, he really has no other better choice.

Two goals behind, if you don't attack with all your strength, you will die. Since there is only one way left, Aguirre can only go one way to the black.

After the start of the second half, Mexico came up like a group of gamblers and continued their onslaught. Belgium had obviously responded to this, and the three midfielders became a stone wall in front of the Mexicans. No matter how it hits, it can never be disintegrated.

The frontal attack has been proved to be unfeasible. The Mexican team started to attack the two sides, but Belgium's defensive system was in place. Fellaini continued to sit in the middle, and Drul and Na Engling protected the two sides respectively. The linebacker, at any point, is in a situation of playing more and playing less.

But even so, the Mexican team is still playing very tenaciously. Perhaps it is a bit incomplete to describe it as tenacious. Bottom, tough, this word can best describe the state of the Mexican team at the moment.

This is a kind of hard work at all costs in order to change fate. From 1994 to 2010, Mexico broke through the group stage for five consecutive World Cups. The previous four times were the fate of being eliminated immediately after qualifying. . Such a record has to make people feel emotional. It turns out that the history of the Mexican team is surprisingly similar, or it should be said that history is constantly repeating.

If this fate continues today, the Belgian will give Mexico a very embarrassing record, taking the top spot in the rankings of consecutive eliminations in the same stage of the World Cup.

Mexico may not really be a strong team that can match their world rankings. Some people even think that Mexico's ability to become a frequent visitor to the World Cup finals is due to the glory of the North American division.

And it was also due to his own strength that he couldn't go too far in the final stage, so he couldn't blame others. But I believe that there are many people, every time they see the Mexican team's game, they still feel inexplicably fond of it. The Mexicans are enthusiastic but not fanatical, and their football style is subdued yet calm, which may be the key to the conflicted feelings of the fans. .

Maybe people will get tired of watching Spain's hypnotic style of play and label Italy's concrete defense as ugly, but they will definitely be impressed by the creativity and talent of Latin American football style of play, which will make people excited and amazed. But now even Brazil and Argentina are losing their original temperament more and more. It is difficult to see any team from the backcourt to the frontcourt to attack the opponent's lifeline through continuous delicate cooperation and ingenious passing. The Straw Hats may be an exception. He and ** are perfectly integrated into football, which is different from the art of the Brazilians, the spirit of the Germans, and the blood of the Eastern Europeans. This is their football philosophy, and they are extremely persistent.

He follows his strength, and the breeze blows the hills; he lets him go, and the moon shines on the river.

For many years, Mexican football has been like Zhou Botong, the casual and frank "old urchin" described by Jin Yong. Although under the trend of pragmatic football, the originators of Latin football such as Brazil and Argentina seem to be a bit humiliated, Mexico has always insisted on its own. Artistic football dream. In their eyes, football can not only be played as they want, but also must be played beautifully.

Compared with South Americans with solid basic skills, Mexican players may not be so skilled at their feet, but they will always create some unbelievable scenes to please the audience.

In the 1986 World Cup, in the match against the Bulgarian team, Negrete's sideways volley shot became a classic shot that often appeared in World Cup promotional videos, and Blanco's "leapfrog" in the 1998 World Cup attracted countless Young people scrambled to follow suit.

Pereira, the former coach of the Brazil team, once said: "Mexico has a very different football style. They destroy the ball roughly, and they are more dangerous when they have the ball. Their playing traditions and standards are also very eclectic."

Some people say that Mexicans actually play "grassroots football". Blanco's "leapfrog" is completely born out of street football. Is it close to the essence of football?

Short passes, penetration, interspersed, breakthroughs, Mexican football belongs to the traditional Latin school style, the sword moves lightly, and wins by surprise. However, when they really compete with disciplined, tough and aggressive opponents, they will not be at a disadvantage. , there is a hard word in the blood of the Aztecs.

On the court, the Mexican team attacked fiercely, completely ignoring their backs, but their offense was like a wave hitting the reef, which did not have the slightest effect, and was injured by the edges and corners of the reef from time to time, but even so, They still refused to give up, and kept attacking, attacking!

They seem to have a very firm belief that as long as they persist in this way, there will be gains!

Finally, at the 65th minute of the game, the Mexican team's offense once again reached the Belgian half. Dos Santos' skillful dribbling made Nainggolan look very embarrassed, and rushed through the middle of Belgium. After defending, Dos Santos didn't let the football go, stayed under his feet too much, and passed the ball with one kick before Fellaini stepped forward to make up for it.

In this game, Hernandez, who Aguirre had high hopes for, got the ball with his back facing Kompany. The best central defender in Europe was confident to stick him, but Hernandez had to Before the ball, he had planned to turn to the right and seized the opportunity. The defender was very passive at this time. While he was still thinking about what to do next, the attacker had already acted first.

Hernandez easily got rid of Kompany, this is the first step, because there is Vermaelen on the side, the wind is blowing under Hernandez's feet, and if he accelerates again, Vermaelen is in a panic He failed to deal with it, but almost collided with Kompany. After throwing the two of them, Hernandez shot furiously. The speed was so fast that even if Courtois had judged the direction of Hernandez's shot in advance, But there was no time to spread out his body to save this almost dead corner goal.

The football got into a dead corner and hit the net.

After scoring the goal, Hernandez supported his body with hands and feet and got up, roaring and rushed out. His face looked a little hideous, which was a sudden outburst after a long period of suppressed emotions.

The Mexican fans at the scene were also crazy. This is the goal they have been waiting for, and now it has finally arrived.

The Mexican coaching staff on the sidelines had already huddled together, and Aguirre, who was surrounded in the middle, couldn't help turning red in front of his eyes.

At this moment, even the Belgian players on the field couldn't help being shocked by Mexico's tenacity. This was the first time they had met such an opponent.

Two goals behind, there is no advantage on the scene at all, but from the beginning to the end, this team has no thought of giving up at all, not even the slightest.

"We seem to be in trouble, the momentum of the Mexicans is on the rise!" Francois couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Antiiennis didn't care, but smiled and said, "It's okay! Old man, we have to trust our players, they can handle it well!"

Antiiennis said, Degan had already run into the goal first, picked up the football, and ran towards the center line.

The tenacity of the Mexicans also inspired Degan's fighting spirit. This is how the game is interesting. It wouldn't be too embarrassing to play, Degan couldn't be interested in such a game at all.

Degan likes Mexico as an opponent very much!
