9 First win in group stage
During the intermission, the Argentine fans had already started singing and dancing!
God of War Batty completed a hat-trick in the first half, and he has become the only player who has completed a hat-trick in three consecutive World Cups, and his total goals have reached an astonishing one, one distance away from Germany Batty is only two away from Gerd Muller's 14 World Cup goals!
And Lionwell also became the first player to participate in the World Cup and completed a hat-trick of assists in the first game! The talented Argentine captain gave the world a new understanding of him in just the first half of the game.
The new Diego Maradona? The talented captain who became the core of Argentina's offense in the first half has already made many fans feel a lot of emotion.
The World Cup is indeed a stage where superstars gather and talents emerge in large numbers.
The Nigerians were a little stunned, and the African Eagle was kicked into a frightened bird in the first half.
The Argentines showed off their champions in the first match of the World Cup!
"If Miroslav Klose's hat-trick of headers gave the German the capital to rise in this World Cup, then Lionwell's hat-trick of assists and captaining the Argentine national team on his nineteenth birthday The first match of the personal World Cup is to let the Argentines see the hope of regaining the Hercules Cup!" Yes, today is Lionwell's 19th birthday!
June eighth! The talented Argentine captain of Gemini completed a hat-trick of assists in the first half of today's game.
The Argentine golden boy, well, Leon has a new nickname after having the noble son and the little lunatic, which is the new name for him in the European media.
During the intermission, everyone in the locker room of the Argentine national team was praising the new captain, 3-0, a fantastic first half!
The madman Bielsa also felt that the pressure on his shoulders was much less, but the madman was also reminding the players to pay attention to the Nigerian's counterattack!
But Bielsa's worries are obviously unnecessary...
In the second half of the game, the Nigerians did launch a very violent counterattack. Under the leadership of the midfielder Okocha, they caused a lot of trouble for the Argentine team.
However, as the captain, Lionwell stepped forward several times and led his teammates to play high-quality offense! The Nigerian quickly returned to the frightened bird he had been in the first half.
The main reason is that they really can't prevent the Argentine's attack. Nigeria's defense is like a sieve in front of the Argentine's imaginative attack...
When the offense is suppressed and the defense is overwhelmed, Nigeria can't play no matter how much technology and speed it has.
And African teams all have a characteristic, that is, they play smoothly when they are happy, but once they get into trouble, they will fight on their own.
In the 65th minute of the second half, the Argentine team also made personnel adjustments. Aimar and Veron played at the same time, replacing Ortega and Gallardo.
It is worth mentioning that the wizard did not say a word after playing...
After Aimar played, he naturally played Gallardo's position, while Leon moved to the left and handed over the midfielder position to Veron.
The Argentine team's attack was not so sharp after the substitution, but it was more stable.
It seems that Veron temporarily suppressed his displeasure with Leon. At least in today's game, he and Leon cooperated twice.
In fact, Veron also knows that with Leon's current state, coupled with his current status as the captain of the national team, it is unrealistic to quickly regain the position of the Argentine national team's offensive core.
Although the wizard is also very helpless...but he knows that he must perform well after playing, otherwise he may not even have a chance.
...
In the 75th minute of the second half, Crespo also came on the field. He replaced Batty who had completed a hat-trick. Batty got applause from all the Argentine fans at the Ibaraki World Cup Stadium when Batty left the field...
The name of God of War is still daunting!
After changing the offensive combination, Argentina still had a chance to expand the score. In the 77th minute of the game, captain Leon hit the middle after breaking through from the left, and Veron's shot was blocked by Saurum...
In the 83rd minute of the game, Crespo's header hit the crossbar again!
Nigeria was completely suppressed in the final stage of this game, and the African Eagle was beaten into a frightened bird!
Three to zero, the Argentine team won their first victory in the World Cup group stage. With Leon's assist hat-trick and Batty's hat-trick, the Argentine team scored all three points and gained three precious goal difference!
Argentina's wonderful performance also dispelled people's doubts before the game.
You know, after the number one favorite, the French team, had a shocking upset in the World Cup opener, the Argentine team also made people sweat before the game.
Because the captain of the Argentine team just changed before the competition, Ayala's injury made Bielsa decide to let the players vote for the new captain, but no one thought that the new captain who was decided would be Leonwell.
However, the Argentine's actions proved that people's worries were completely unnecessary, and Leonwell once again proved his true strength with a hat-trick of assists.
The best player in the Copa Libertadores and Argentina has once again become the object of attention of the major European giants, oh no, it should be the object of pursuit.
However, Leon's agent Mendes, who had been prepared for a long time, stood on the united front with the River Plate Club this time. All transfer matters of Leonwell will be discussed after the World Cup is over!
The idiot also knows that Leonwell's worth will definitely double after the World Cup.
Argentina national team captain ah! If only the Argentine team had gone further...well!
And now even the Premier League teams have joined the ranks of chasing Leon, labor certification? Well, if the FA doesn't issue a work permit to the captain of the Argentine national team, it's not justified, right?
In the previous life, Kaka did not have enough appearances on behalf of the national team, but now Leonwell is the captain of the Argentine national team. What if he can't get a labor certificate? Then Ferguson will definitely blow up the FA with his mouth!
In short, the score of three to zero made people have to re-examine the strength and stability of the Argentine.
Lionwell, the new captain's World Cup debut, is convincing.
Well, although he had just spent his nineteenth birthday in the game.
In fact, even Leon himself almost forgot his birthday. He didn't remember it until his teammates prepared a birthday cake for him in the locker room after the game.
These days, busy improving his own strength and thinking about how to be a captain, Leon has no mood to think about his birthday!
However, the birthday cake prepared by his teammates made Leon have a very happy birthday, especially when he received three assists in his World Cup debut... Of course, there is also the mid-level upgrade fruit of the system!
Leon has completed the side mission: the second mission of the first fan, representing Argentina in the World Cup!
So the mid-level upgrade fruit has also been obtained. Now Leon is already a top professional player at the beginning of the ninth level. As long as he can be upgraded to the top professional player level 10...then he can be promoted to a higher level immediately!
Huh, at the star level, he is at the same level as Kaka! Leon knew that his current ability was far behind Kaka...
Fortunately, Leon's way of football is to make reasonable use of his teammates and not rely so much on his own personal ability.
...
Speaking of the post-match press conference, the Nigerian coach also thought bitterly: "Their No. 15, their new captain, caused us a lot of trouble. We have England in front of us... and Batty, he is indeed a great star, a great striker, he is too difficult to defend. But we only lost one game, we have Sweden and England next , if we can get all three points against Sweden..."
Compared with the hard work of the Nigerian coach, the crazy Bielsa was much prouder. He got applause from all the reporters at the press conference.
How many football fans dream of winning the World Cup with offensive football!
Attacking football teams always have the most fans. When the Argentines defeated Nigeria 3-0 in the World Cup opener, Argentina's desire to win the championship has begun to surpass that of France...
After the game, the media from various countries also shouted the exclamation point of Argentina, the favorite to win the championship.
"Associated Press" put it this way: "A new captain, a new weather, the powerful Argentina has set off a magnitude 10 earthquake in Japan!"
Agence France-Presse: "Is this Argentina really beatable?"
"Korea's Chomoon Ilbo": "Argentina is irresistible. The spirit of the African eagle was completely defeated by the Argentine! This is a game that people have to convince."
"Ole Newspaper": "The whirlwind that Leonwell blew in South America is sweeping the East Asian peninsula!"
"The Bugle": "The youngest captain, the best partner of God of War Batty!"
"Japan World Cup Pictorial": "The Argentines are spreading their wings under the leadership of the young Lionwell, and Barty, the god of war, proves that he is not old..."
The Times: "Can we really defeat such a strong Argentina?"
"Mirror": "The fateful battle, after the draw with Sweden, Eriksson's national team had to strive to win in the face of the powerful Argentina!"
"Marca": "Hurry up and bring Leonwell to the Bernabeu!"
"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Lionwell's improvement speed is like riding a rocket. The golden boy of Argentina has become the hottest talent in the Korea-Japan World Cup!"
There are also emotions and praises from other countries. In short, on the third match day of the Korea-Japan World Cup, Argentina, Lionwell, and Batty have become topics that people are constantly talking about.
...
It is said that after returning to the five-star hotel in Sapporo, Leon also watched the fateful battle between England and Sweden with his teammates...
England was evened by the Swedes even though they advanced by one goal. How many years has the sad Englishman not won against Sweden?
However, the England's draw also made Argentina's death group more suspenseful.
The Three Lions, England, and now Argentina are waiting for their second opponent in the group stage.
