102 The uneven road to defending the title

Lionwell's goal helped Argentina regain their joy of playing football, and the Argentine fans instantly occupied the entire World Cup stadium in Hamburg. Although the fans of Côte d'Ivoire are passionate, it is their first time to come to the World Cup after all. Facing the methodical and highly organized offensive of the Argentine fans, the fans of Côte d'Ivoire were quickly defeated.

On the court, after equalizing the score, the Argentine team created consecutive chances to score. In the 44th minute of the first half, Tevez's low shot in front of the goal almost overtook the score for the Argentine team.

The Argentine fans in the stands all let out a burst of exclamation!

In the forty-fifth minute of the first half, Messi, who had regained his confidence, made a breakthrough from the left to create a murderous intention. He swayed away from Yaya Toure and Boca and then broke into the penalty area. Unfortunately, his shot was finally blocked by the goalkeeper of Côte d'Ivoire. .

"It seems that Messi has regained his confidence in the Champions League final. I don't know what Leonwell said to his little brother. Now Messi has completely got rid of the discomfort at the beginning. He has let People think of Caniggia and Ortega in those days." Argentine digital satellite TV station, Varidek said.

"Yes, Leon is a very magical person. I believe Gabriel should be the person who feels the most about this." In the live broadcast room of the Argentine digital satellite TV station, the old hero Kempes glanced at God of War Barty said afterwards.

"Hahaha, yes, I still remember the 2002 World Cup, Leon, who just became the captain at that time, was still very immature, and many people were afraid that he would not be the captain of Argentina at such a young age, but he used his personality His charisma proves that he is an excellent captain. To be honest, we would not have won the World Cup without Leon in 2002." Batty nodded and said with a smile.

"Well, now Leon is much more mature than before, and now he is more like a captain in the true sense. In the case of the Argentine team's unfavorable start today, he didn't panic, but passed with his teammates. They communicated to stabilize the situation on the field. When Messi lost his confidence, he trusted Messi as always. I think it is because of this trust that the Argentine team regained the feeling of playing football." Validek analyzed.

"Yes, mutual trust on the football field is very important, because a football game is only 90 minutes, but there are eleven people playing together. Football is a team sport. When we won the championship that year, it was also because of mutual trust. Sareira will always stand up to comfort us when we are in a disadvantageous situation. In the 1986 World Cup, everyone's trust in Maradona was also the key to the Argentine team's unity to the end and winning the championship. In the 2002 World Cup, the young Leon became the captain of the Argentine team, and the outside world once doubted us, but the facts have proved that the Argentine team is a strong whole." Kempes said with some emotion.

"Yes, football is very much about the whole. You may be able to change the form in a game, but that is not the long-term plan of a team. Leon is completely different from Pele and Maradona. Players like Beckenbauer and Redondo can unite a team and magnify the characteristics of everyone, so why some media say that in modern football, those who win Leonville win the world, You can see that Leon was successful at Bayern, he was also successful at River Plate, and at Inter Milan, he also helped Inter Milan win the Triple Crown. Therefore, it is a hundred years of luck that the Argentine team can get a genius like Leon '" Batty said in agreement.

Just as the three Argentine digital satellite TV commentators were discussing the game, on the court, Messi's shot just now won the corner kick for the Argentine team, which had already been taken by Leon.

In the chaos in front of the goal, Crespo's header almost overtook the score for the Argentine team!

"Martin, if the Argentines felt restrained in the first 30 minutes of the game, then in the last 15 minutes of the first half, their level of performance was enough to scare the other giants." England Sky TV, Gary Lineker said.

"I think so, Gary, you know that in the "Sun" survey, the Argentine team is the team that England fans least want to touch." Martin Taylor said.

"Speaking of that survey, Spain, Germany, Italy, France... It seems that the last team fans of all teams want to meet is Argentina." Gary Lineker said.

"Well, who told them to own Lionwell." Martin Taylor shrugged and joked.

"That's right, because he is Lionwell, so even if the Argentine team loses, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Judging from today's game, Côte d'Ivoire is indeed stronger than other African teams. , Today's game is completely at the level of the Champions League knockout round." Gary Lineker said.

On the court, as Crespo's header was destroyed again, the referee Dulikhov of Uzbekistan also blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

"Oh! What a pity!" Little Beast Carlos Tevez held his head. It was indeed a pity that the Argentine team failed to go all out to overtake the score before the end of the first half.

Because during the intermission, Côte d'Ivoire will definitely adjust, and they will definitely put up an iron barrel formation in the second half of the game, so it will not be easy for the Argentine team to overtake the score.

"Okay, little fat man, don't think too much. We played well in the first half, but our opponent was stronger than we expected." Leon only learned about the World Cup and football matches through TV in his previous life, but when he After he stood on the court and played football, he realized how difficult the game was.

Compared with Nigeria, the opponent in the warm-up match a few days ago, Côte d'Ivoire's game rhythm is closer to the fast, accurate and ruthless modern football. They are strong in body, full of energy, and have the excellent footwork skills of African players. Under the leadership of French mahout Michel, the Ivory Coast team, which was originally technically average, showed excellent tactical quality. Especially those few players who played in Europe.

"Although it's a pity that we couldn't equalize, we will have the last laugh, right, captain?" Cambiasso patted Leon's shoulder jokingly.

Leon shook his head helplessly, and just as the entire Argentine team was walking towards the locker room, the wretched Uncle Veron ran out again, "Tsk tsk tsk!!! Boys, what's the matter, look up, let's compare It's just one, why are they all impotent! Could it be that the 45-minute game will exhaust your energy?"

The young boys of the Argentine team turned into old men one by one in front of Uncle Veron. Veron walked towards Leon, and then patted Leon on the shoulder, "Good job!"

Leon helplessly rubbed his sore shoulder from Veron's slap, and the other teammates of the Argentine team couldn't help laughing, because everyone knows that the tradition of the Argentine team is to beat the captain during the halftime break. The play is about to begin again...

The head coach Crazy Bielsa seems to disappear at this time. He will wait for the players to play and fight before coming out to make tactical adjustments. After the success of the World Cup in 2002, Bielsa's personality has changed a lot Change, because he knows that a team must have its own traditions.

Although the tradition of the Argentine team is a bit weird, as long as the players are having fun.

Poor Leon, soon, Leon's screams came from the locker room of the Argentine team...

"Ahem." When the beating of Leon was almost over, Bielsa stood up in time, "Okay, everyone sit down, I will now talk about our tactics in the second half."

Soon, the players of the Argentine team recovered from the playful state just now, Bielsa couldn't help but shook his head, these stars, do you know that you are all in your twenties Oh, why are they all like Messi...

Poor little Messi, he was shot while lying down!

...

Fifteen minutes of the halftime break passed quickly. The commentators of the major TV stations did a review of the game and a preview of the second half during the halftime break. For the fans at the scene, waiting was painful Yes, after all, the weather in Germany this summer is really scary...

However, the always rigorous host German has shown what an excellent host should possess in this World Cup. This is much better than the English who will start the Olympic Games six years later. Overall, Germany in the World Cup in 2006 was successful, but in 2012, people had nothing but to remember the host's stinginess...

So, those who like to brag like the English are unreliable, and those like the Germans who keep a low profile and do the facts are often king!

At the Hamburg World Cup Stadium, in addition to some entertainment performances, the host also selected ten lucky fans from the scene to play at the Hamburg World Cup Stadium. As long as these fans can shoot the ball into the net from the half court, they will be lucky enough to win A car offered by Volkswagen.

So, the 15-minute intermission time really passed quickly.

When Argentina and Côte d'Ivoire returned to the scene, the atmosphere on the scene not only did not cool down, but became hotter and hotter.

In other words, before the start of the second half of the game, Leon saw Drogba's firm eyes when walking through the player tunnel... The Ivorians will never let the Pampas eagle fly over the elephant's head easily of...

Team Argentina, your road to defending the title is not smooth.
