98 The most exciting opening match!
With the end of the last exam, Argentina's preparations have also entered the final stage, and the technical and tactical training is actually completely nonsense now. For the stars of the Argentina team, how to find a good state in the World Cup is the most critical place.
In the past few days, Bielsa has adopted relatively relaxed games to let the players relax. In his spare time, Leon and Ya Li went shopping together a few times. Only then did Leon, who could never run to death on the court, realize that the women who are shopping are the most physically powerful creatures.

June 9th, 2006, Munich, Germany.
Today, the whole world will focus on this.
The 2006 World Cup in Germany will kick off today, in Munich, at the Allianz Arena with its brilliant, legendary and epic prelude.

Accompanied by the South American diva Shakira's hipsdon'tline, accompanied by the melodious melody of the theme song of the World Cup in Germany, in the whistle of Argentine referee Elizondo.
The opening game of the World Cup in Germany has begun! ! !
Before the game, Klinsmann's German team was controversial. Their poor record in the warm-up match caused the Golden Bombers to encounter a crisis of confidence.
On the eve of the World Cup, Klinsmann made a move that shocked the world when he decided to make Lehmann the first goalkeeper of the German national team.
Will this decision be the reason why Klinsmann was bombarded by the media after the German team lost? No one knows the answer.
Before this game, Klinsmann hid the injured core Michael Ballack, and Germany's domestic first talent Sebastian Deisler will take on more organizational tasks.
"Argentina Digital Satellite TV Station! Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2006 Germany World Cup opening game brought to you by Kempes, Barty, and Validek!"
"Sky Italy TV, hello everyone in front of the TV, I'm Palmer Terry, today Roberto Baggio and I will give you the commentary on the opening game of the World Cup!"
"England Sky TV, I'm Gary Lineker, today I will continue to bring you the live commentary of the World Cup opening match with my old partner Martin Taylor!"
"China Central Television! I am the commentator Duan Xuan. Good evening everyone. I am currently at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Today I will give you a live commentary!"
"NHK TV station in Japan..."
"Al Jazeera!"
"Catalan TV..."
"French national television..."
The doubts of the Germans before the game were dispelled in the sixth minute of the game. The young German left back Lahm opened the prelude to this wonderful and legendary World Cup with a wonderful world wave!
The Allianz Arena is boiling!
The German excitement only lasted six minutes, however.
Wanchope, the core of Costa Rica, put the defense line built by Klinsmann before the game to the test after six minutes. In a single goal, Wanchope easily pushed and equalized the score for Costa Rica!
At this time, the cameras of various countries and TV stations are all aimed at the goalkeeper Kahn who is sitting on the bench of the German team. People can't help but wonder, if it is Kahn, can he save this goal for the German team? ?
However, five minutes later, a cross after the piggy Schweinsteiger broke into the penalty area made the Germans regain their joy, and the new bomber Klose once again overtook the score for the Germans!
The warm embrace of Ballack and Klinsmann on the sidelines also seemed to break the rumors of the discord between the master and apprentice before the game.
In the second half of the game, Klose, who became famous in the 2002 World Cup, used his second goal to expand the lead for the German team. The Bremen striker repaid the trust of coach Klinsmann with his performance.
However, the line of defense built by Klinsmann was once again destroyed by the Costa Rican Wanchope. In the two dialogues with Wanchope, Lehmann fell completely.
The world wave staged by Frings at the last moment of the game brought a successful conclusion to the opening game. This game is one of the most exciting opening games in the history of the World Cup. Klinsmann decompressed himself with a beautiful victory!
...
Germany, Hamburg, Mettersus, where the Argentine team is based.
"How? How do you feel after watching the opening game?" In the hotel lobby, Bielsa looked at the Argentine players and asked.
"The Germans are strong and fast. Although they conceded two goals, I think it has something to do with the lack of Ballack. They are a team with great potential."
"Yes, our opponents are strong, the level of this World Cup will look high, and the Costa Ricans have shown their fast-breaking level."
"My God, I feel now that we may not be able to play against the German team..."
Looking at the players who have already felt the pressure after watching the opening game, Bielsa smiled, "There is still one day left, we will play in the last game tomorrow, I know many of you It is the first time to play in the World Cup, but I hope you will not be nervous. The Germans are very strong, we must admit this, and the level of this World Cup will be very high, we must also see this, but we are the defending champions, as the defending champions If you are a champion, you must play like the defending champion!"
"Of course! We are Argentina!"
...
In the first day of the game, in addition to the German team's 4-2 victory over Costa Rica, in another game in this group, the Eastern European cavalry Poland also lost 0-2 to the plateau lion Ecuador.
The reason why the level of this World Cup is very high is that the South American teams and African teams have shown their strength. Although the World Cup in the previous life eventually evolved into the European Cup, the overall level of this World Cup is absolutely unquestionable. Doubt.
The proximity of strength and the excitement of the game make this World Cup destined to become a legend.
With the defending champions waiting, the second match day of the World Cup begins.
The brilliance of the first match day made people look forward to the second match day.
Because, on the second match day, the defending champion Argentina will play!
In the first game of the second match day, the Three Lions under the hot sun in the afternoon defeated the South American powerhouse Paraguay 1-0.
David Beckham was once again England's savior, with Three Lions captain David Beckham saving Eriksen and England with his free-kick as South American concrete Paraguay were all but unbeatable.
His free kick caused the Paraguayan defender to score an own goal. While the Three Lions scored three points as they wished, they also successfully established a good promotion situation in this group.
Just when the England team won as they wished, the second game of this group was a big upset. In this World Cup, there is such a team. They are new players, but they have won everyone's respect.
This team is Trinidad and Tobago.
Fantastic Trinidad and Tobago goalkeeper Hislop denied the Swede's 32-foot bombardment-like shot, Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his team Encountered Waterloo.
The former black cyclone York also performed well in this game. If it is not a little bit of luck, Trinidad and Tobago will definitely be able to create miracles.
Compared with the overflowing excitement on the first day, the results of the first two games on the second match day were obviously much more silent.
...
Germany, Hamburg, World Cup Stadium.
At 9:30 p.m. on June 10, 2006, in this stadium, one of the main stadiums of the World Cup in Germany, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people, the defending champion Argentina team appeared amidst the eyes of everyone.
This will be the game with the highest ratings since the start of this World Cup. In the Far East, countless fans are looking forward to the appearance of the Pampas Eagle.
And their opponent will be an elephant from Africa - Côte d'Ivoire!
Don't underestimate this African elephant. The team led by French mahout Michel is definitely one of the most dangerous teams in this World Cup.
They have excellent players from the five major leagues, and when you look at the roster of this team, as long as you are from across the country, you will be surprised.
They have Drogba, Yaya Toure, Kolo Toure, Keita, Kalu, Eb, Kone and other excellent players. This young and inexperienced team led by Michel Under rapid maturity.
Coupled with the fact that more and more Ivorian players have been trained in the five major European leagues, Ivory Coast now has a strong combat effectiveness.
In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, the Argentine team met an African team in their first match.
This time, can Côte d'Ivoire bring good luck to the Argentine team?
Lionwell is the most popular player in this World Cup, and the Argentine team is also the most popular team. Among the top 32 jersey sales in Germany, Lionwell's jerseys ranked first.
With countless talents, the Pampas Eagles are the number one favorite to win this World Cup.
"Are you ready? Guys?" Leon asked with a smile looking at his Argentine teammates behind him in the tunnel of the World Cup Stadium in Hamburg.
"Of course! Captain!"
In the first game of this World Cup, Bielsa made a bold decision. The madman decided to use Rio Messi as the team's left midfielder, and the original left midfielder Rodriguez will become a substitute.
In 2002, the young Leonwell was born. In 2006, the equally immature Leo Messi became the main force of the national team when he was 19 years old.
The veteran of the Argentine team, Veron, said before the game that this is Lionwell's team alone, and what the Argentine players have to do is to assist the new king of the world to reach the pinnacle.
The horn of the World Cup has been sounded, and the Argentine team is here!
