12 Captain Rebellion

12 Captain Rebellion

b————————————————!!!!!!

With the Italian bald referee Corina's whistle, the much-anticipated British-Arab battle kicked off at the Sapporo Dome Stadium in Japan!

Because Leon lost the coin guess when he was picking sides with Beckham, the Argentine team took the lead in the first half.

Argentina's starting lineup for today is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Caballero

Defender: Samuel

Defender: Pochettino

Defender: Placente

Midfielder: Diego Simeone

Midfielder: Javier Zanetti

Midfielder: Juan Sorin

Attacking midfielder: Lionwell

Left winger: Gallardo

Right wing: Ortega

Center: Batty.

Four years ago, Ortega's defensive line in England was like no one's territory. Four years later, the little donkey with more and more pure skills is already a magic weapon for the Argentine team to win.

In today's game, he and Gallardo switched sides. Bielsa expects Ortega to open the situation first for Argentina on the right!

As for the England team, they still played in the traditional 44 formation:

Goalkeeper: Seaman

Left back: Ashley Cole

Right back: Gary Neville

Centre-back: Rio Ferdinand

Centre-back: Campbell

Midfielder: Hargreaves

Left Midfielder: Stephen Gerrard

Midfielder: Paul Scholes

Right midfielder: David Beckham

Forward: Michael Owen

Forward: Husky.

Eriksson is the most loyal supporter of the 4-4- formation, and 4-4- is also a traditional formation in England. This formation can be attacked and defended!

After the start of the game, Argentina successfully advanced to the hinterland of England under Leon's careful planning, while the English kept recovering their defense line...

Just when Leon was preparing to organize an attack after getting the ball in the midfielder position as in the previous game, he encountered a completely different defense!

In the last game against Nigeria, the Africans did not make targeted arrangements for him. Because both Nigeria and Argentina are teams that pay attention to foot skills, there was less physical confrontation in that game...

But today, Owen Hargreaves was ordered in a critical situation, and his task was to constantly exert physical confrontation on Lionwell.

Although Leon can still control the ball at his feet with his excellent ball-handling skills, it is obvious that his ball accuracy has dropped significantly.

Leon made a mistake in the first pass in the opening game. He wanted to pass Batty, but under the interference of Hargreaves, the ball was passed too high and flew directly out of the baseline.

"A very imaginative pass, unfortunately, a little higher." At this time, the Argentine did not realize that Leonwell had been entangled by Hargreaves.

Compared with the diversification of the Argentine's offense, England seems to have only one style of play today, that is, Scholes passes the ball to Beckham, and David directly kicks a long pass...

This seemingly simple pass scared the Argentine team into a cold sweat in the third minute of the game.

Heskey protected the ball with his body after receiving Beckham's long pass. This striker known as the most incapable of scoring is definitely a good supporter. He really can't score, but he is tall and can protect the ball. Able to respond to teammates' attacks.

After Husky stabilized the ball, relying on Argentine defender Placente, he suddenly gave the ball to Michael Owen, the son of the wind, who inserted from the back.

Before the game, people were saying who is the biggest worry for the Argentines?

There is no doubt that person is——Michael Owen. Four years ago, Owen became famous in the battle with Argentina. Since then, the name of the golden boy has spread to Europe!

On the field, Owen was faster than lightning. After receiving a wonderful pass from Heskey, he went straight into the hinterland of England. Samuel was freed by him. The rock was too slow, and he couldn't keep up with Owen's speed.

Pochettino made up the defense at the first time, but this arrogant guy was denied a chance to shoot by Owen's light dunk!

"Michael Owen -----------------!!!!!! Shot!!!!!!!"

Dome World Cup Stadium, England fans stood up one after another!

bang! Owen's shot hit the post, which made the England fans at the scene very sorry!

The Argentine was in a cold sweat!

"It's too dangerous, our defense was penetrated so easily!" Argentine Digital Satellite Television, Kempes and Varidek's anxiety was beyond words.

"Irving's ball is too angle-seeking!" Lineker and Martin Taylor, the two England commentators, are quite regretful!

Only three minutes into the opening of the Anglo-Arab war, Irving gave people a wonderful performance.

The name of the Golden Boy is indeed well-deserved.

In the frontcourt, Leon also frowned. He had already reminded Pochettino and other defenders to pay attention to Michael Owen, but these guys!

The smooth sailing of the Argentines in the qualifiers made them underestimate England. England is not as easy to beat as the Argentines imagined!

Moreover, Argentina is not as powerful as imagined...

Of course, the Argentine still had the absolute upper hand in the game, but Leon discovered Eriksson's highly targeted defensive method...

Ashley Cole's defense on the left made his big brother Ortega fall into a quagmire. Every time Ortega passed Cole, this young and energetic England left-back would always be the first Back to my position!

Cole's chasing ability is too strong, and speed is not the specialty of his stupid brother!

As for Gallardo, in front of the calm Gary Neville, he couldn't find any good solution. For a while, both sides of Argentina were in trouble...

And what about myself? Leon really wanted to get rid of the defense of Hargreaves, the brown sugar, but his weakness in physical confrontation was completely exposed in the match with Hargreaves!

Hargreaves entangled himself tightly. Although he could still control the ball, it was too difficult to get rid of it.

Batty, the god of war, seems to be a bit lonely under the defense of the two top defenders Campbell and Ferdinand...

Unknowingly, the connection of the Argentine frontcourt has been completely cut off!

Eriksson is indeed a wily guy.

Leon had no choice but to control the situation first, at least let the English counterattack be unable to fight first.

"We didn't find a good way to attack, damn the Englishman, the iron barrel formation!" Kempes and Varidek couldn't help but frowned.

"David, pay attention. Once the Argentines are forced, their other two midfielders Sorin and Zanetti will step forward to assist, find opportunities to oppress them, and then counterattack!" Experienced Skoll Si also found an opportunity to lean into Beckham's ear and said.

David Beckham nodded. In fact, he has been observing the situation on the court.

Sure enough, two minutes later, the Argentines, who couldn't wait to attack, began to press hard.

Thorin and Zanetti put in assists for the Argentine team to have six fierce players on the pitch in England!

The defensive pressure of England players has increased suddenly!

The insertion of Zanetti and Sorin gave Leon more options for attacking points...but at the same time, it also completely exposed Argentina's defense to Owen.

The golden boy is waiting for his chance.

"Press up!!!!" Suddenly, Scholes led his teammates to press up suddenly, which caught the Argentine who was still cooperating a little off guard...

A cross pass by Sorin was cut off by Scholes, who then delivered a long pass to the frontcourt!

"Michael ————————————— Owen!!!!!!"

Owen's speed was like the wind. He stopped the ball with his left foot before Placente and then slammed into the Argentine penalty area!

Pochettino came to defend the first time, and history seemed to repeat itself again...

Owen dialed the ball horizontally in the penalty area of ​​the Argentine team, and Pochettino stretched out his foot to block Owen, and at this moment, Owen took advantage of the situation...

The entire stadium fell silent.

Leon covered his face with his hands: Why...why does history repeat itself? I have clearly reminded them!

"B————————————————!" The referee Collina whistled, and his finger pointed to the twelve yards!

Pochettino stepped forward to protest. The Argentine players were not satisfied with the penalty. Leon, as the captain, also walked back to protest to Corina...

But to no avail, Collina firmly believes that this is a penalty. You know, in Collina's game of law enforcement, he is the nemesis of Germany and Argentina, and the lucky star of England!

Now, what else can Leon do besides helplessly with his hands on his hips?

Oh, right!

Thinking of something, Leon suddenly walked towards the goalkeeper Caballero, "Caballero, Beckham's penalty is likely to go to the center and to your left, you must pay attention!"

Caballero looked at Leon with some doubts... He wanted to ask, how did you know?

Caballero stood on the goal line dubiously.

At this time, the eyes of the whole world are on David Beckham, the captain of the England national team who is about to take the penalty kick.

"Many people say that this is Beckham's revenge. In the game against Greece, it was David who saved us. Now, our captain once again went to twelve yards. His penalty will decide The trend of this game!"

The England fans at the Dome had already stood up, while the Argentine fans covered their faces with their hands and dared not look.

Leon and his teammates waited quietly.

Beckham seemed a little nervous, and Caballero, who was standing on the goal line, was even more nervous. He was hesitating whether he should believe the words of captain Leon?

A little to my left in the middle?

Just when Caballero was still hesitating, Beckham started!

"Damn Leon, I almost missed me! The ball was obviously kicked to my right!" Caballero's whole body was ready to pounce to the right...

But at the moment when Beckham stepped out, Beckham shook his ankle!

Caballero was shocked!

Oh my God, the ball was really sent to the center and missed his left hand, but Caballero has lost his center of gravity, and it is impossible to pull his center of gravity back!

Exactly the same as in the previous life, Caballero watched helplessly as the ball crashed into the net from his feet...

The direction Beckham kicked was exactly the direction Lionwell told him!

The English are ahead! After scoring the goal, Beckham rushed to the corner flag frantically, and then pulled his jersey!

"gooal!!!!!! We are leading, one to zero! Captain David's goal! Long live David! He has once again become the savior of the England team! In front of the penalty spot, he withstood the pressure!! !!!!" The Englishman went crazy!

England fans in the stands chanted captain David Beckham's name!

After the Battle of the Falklands, the English team and the Argentine team were basically defeated by England... But today, they finally felt proud in East Asia!

David Beckham!

Leon looked helplessly at the sky in Japan...Why does history repeat itself? Why?

Leon goes to Caballero: "Why don't you do what I say..."

Caballero, who was a little ashamed, couldn't help himself: "The devil knows how you guessed it. The ball just now, what should I do if he kicked to my right? Penalty kicks, who knows!"

Leon was speechless looking at Caballero, who was unreasonable and aggressive. At this time, Pochettino also came over, "It's not that you are not good at organizing the offense yourself. You only know how to pass back and cross. We only have three defenders. How can we go?" Defend?"

Leon was angry and wanted to say that I had reminded you before the game, but before he could say anything, Pochettino said something that made him feel disheartened, "You are still the captain..."

"Okay, okay, let's not say a few words, there is still a lot of time, let's get it back." The good old Zanetti came over and pulled Leon, Pochettino, Caballero and others away.

Leon finally knew why Zanetti said this to himself this morning. Zanetti must have seen it. In the Argentine national team, how many people really obeyed his captain? In addition to the brothers from the River Plate gang, Batty, Zanetti, Ortega, and Simeone...

Like Pochettino, Caballero, Samuel, etc., they may not be convinced of themselves...

And they don't trust themselves either.

Otherwise, Caballero wouldn't have gotten his own reminder and was kicked into this penalty by Beckham.

Just as the Argentine players were arguing about something, on the England side, Beckham, who had just opened the scoring for the England team, had his hands on his hips. He really admires Eriksson for his foresight.

The Argentines were really infighting.

That little guy can't hold back his teammates.
