119 Iron Barrel Formation

June 26, 2006 AD, Leipzig, Germany, Europe, World Cup Stadium.

Today is the second day of the knockout round of the World Cup in Germany. Argentina, the champion of the last World Cup, will make its debut in today's match.

...

Argentine digital satellite TV, commentator Varidek: "It seems that we have encountered some troubles. The Mexicans have put up iron barrels since the start of the game. Yesterday, the England team almost died in Ecuador's iron barrels. We have to figure out something."

The World Cup round of 16 knockout match between the Argentina team and the Mexico team has started for 20 minutes. On the scene, the defending champion Argentina team has the absolute upper hand. Today, the Argentina team has made a lot of changes in their personnel.

The young midfielder Mascherano from the Portuguese Super League replaced Cambiasso as the starting midfielder of the Argentine team. Today he will partner with the Argentine team captain Leon Will.

On the front line, Cruz, a super substitute from Inter Milan, started the game. He replaced the little beast Tevez as the starter. On the left midfielder, Messi, a genius from Barcelona who had performed well before, was on the sidelines today. Maxiro Driggs made his debut.

Crazy Bielsa chose a very rare starter for the Argentine team. After the start of the game, the Argentine team's style of play has also changed significantly. Unlike the past active in the middle, the Argentine team has clearly strengthened its ability to cross from the side today. attack.

Zanetti and Milito frequently cut in, Luis Gonzalez and Maxi Rodriguez cut in very few times, and more often the two Argentine full-backs chose to go directly to the bottom cross.

The Mexican team is determined to play a defensive counterattack. Their iron barrel formation is really like a gossip formation, firmly trapping the Argentine team's offense.

The Mexican team is not tall enough to defend, so they simply put heavy troops in the middle. I am not tall enough, so I will use crowd tactics. If you want the Argentine team to fly on both wings, I will just let you.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Leon thought in his heart: "It seems that the Mexicans are ready for everything. If we play the ball control flow, they will also guard the middle like this. It's a world-class problem."

Since the start of this World Cup, the crazy Argentina team has scored fifteen goals. However, today, the Argentine team's offense finally met a very strong defense.

Anyway, the cup knockout round is just one game, and the Mexicans' defensive counterattack in front of the powerful Argentine team will not hurt their face at all.

He is the defending champion of the World Cup and has the best players in the world. Although the value of the Mexican players is not bad, compared with the Argentine team... half of Leon's value is almost equal to the sum of the entire Mexican team.

Max is an iron gate in Mexico's defense. This young player who played for Dream II Barcelona has a strong defensive ability and can effectively intercept the ground and air. It can be said to be the pinnacle of Mexico's defense. And the years from 2004 to 2007 can be said to be the peak period of Max.

Under the charge of Cruz and Crespo, the Mexicans tenaciously defended the first 35 minutes of the first half, and they smoothly dragged the game into the first physical peak of the first half.

Mexico's coach Aguirre can be regarded as an old fox. This old fox used Borgetti, a veteran who created magic in 2002. Although the 33-year-old Mexican veteran center has lost his physical fitness Not as good as before, but his header skills are always threatening the Argentine team's defense.

In addition to defense, as long as there is a chance, the midfielders of the Mexican team will rush to the defense of the Argentine team like moles one after another.

This made it very difficult for the Argentine team to play in the first half today. Although their ball possession rate was astonishing 70%, neither the offense nor the defense were as smooth as they were in the group stage.

The fast attack that the Argentine team is most proud of can't be played at all. The Mexicans spared no effort to return to the defense, so that almost every attack of the Argentine team will be dragged into a positional battle. Even if there is an occasional fast break opportunity, it will be fouled by the Mexicans. blocked by tactics.

In world football, the Mexican team is an absolutely wonderful team. In terms of physical fitness, their physical fitness may be worse than that of the Japanese team. However, relying on their own understanding of football and the tacit cooperation of the entire team, Mexico The team slowly improved and eventually grew into a distinctive team in world football.

On the football field, you are not afraid that you are not unique, but you are unique. In many friendly matches and the Copa America, the Brazil and Argentina teams often fell at the feet of the Mexico team.

There are often no particularly famous players in their teams, but they can always perform miracles. As the king of Central and North America, Aguirre obviously doesn't want his team to just reach the top 16, even if their goal before the start of the World Cup is to reach the top 16...

Although their opponent is the powerful defending champion Argentina, it is not impossible to overthrow Argentina in the World Cup format.

The Argentine team almost encountered the same dilemma as England yesterday, but yesterday, the England team had David Beckham who came out to save the world, who is the Argentine team today?

Throughout the first half of the game, the Argentine team was completely dragged into the quagmire by the Mexican team. The superstars of the Argentine team had excellent martial arts but were unable to display them.

...

"My judgment was wrong, boss, the Mexicans are more capable of kicking and fighting than we thought." With the sound of the halftime whistle, the Argentine team had a zero-to-zero battle with the Mexicans before halftime flat.

In the player channel, Leon was the last one. He and coach Bielsa were conducting a brief first-half analysis.

Bielsa patted Leon on the shoulder encouragingly, "You are not wrong Leon, the pre-match arrangement is a kind of gamble, but we unfortunately lost the bet. We all wrongly estimated the strength of the Mexican team. We imagine it to be tough and tough. But the winner will be ours, believe in yourself."

Leon nodded, "It's up to you now, boss."

It seems that I am still a little naive. You can never guess football, even if you are a coach with outstanding achievements.

Because the charm of football is that it is round and there are ninety minutes in the game.

...

The Mexicans could rejoice for a while, as their efforts paid off as they held off Argentina's first half. During the intermission, Aguirre organized the Mexican coaching staff, medical staff and all the staff to massage the muscles of the Mexican players. It is obvious that the Mexicans have spent a lot of energy and energy in order to hold the Argentine back. physical strength.

In fact, for Aguirre, why doesn't he want to open his posture and fight against the Argentine team, but that is the way of a reckless man. Football is an art. Football is an art like war. When you see an artist, you will be reckless. .

In the TV series "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong once captured a senior general of the Kuomintang. After the defeat, the senior general told Li Yunlong very reasonably: "Your division has a lot of guerrilla ruffians. Don't wait for our army's American equipment to be unloaded." Just start fighting, it's not what a hero does."

After Li Yunlong heard these words, he almost shot this guy, wait until you unload your equipment? What's the point, do we have to agree on a time to fight? Do you think Lao Tzu is an idiot like Duke Xiang of Song Dynasty?

The strength of the Argentine team is far above that of the Mexican team, so if the Mexican team wants to win, there is only one way to drag the Argentine team into a penalty shootout.

That's what Aguirre planned to do. As for the face and the like, who said it would be embarrassing to play defensive counterattacks with the Argentine team? Are we not allowed to play defensive counterattacks if we are not strong enough to play?

Aguirre is indeed an old fox, he has calculated everything, so he succeeded in the first half of the game, he won.

...

In the locker room of the Argentine team, the team is in trouble, and everyone has no intention of "beating" captain Leonard, even if that is the tradition of the Argentine team.

Anxiety is written on every Argentine player's face. After all, everyone knows that tens of millions of fans in China are waiting to celebrate at night. No one wants to let down their fans, so everyone is very worried.

"In the second half of the game, we will not make personnel adjustments for the time being, but we must speed up the game..." Since team football can't beat Mexico, then Bielsa will not be polite to you Aguirre.

Bielsa reminded the players of the Argentine team that in addition to tacit teamwork on the football field, there is one more thing that can determine the course of the game.

That is - strong personal ability.

The Argentine team had too few individual performances in the first half, so the Mexican team's defense can be methodical to formulate the coordination of defending the Argentine team's offense.

But if the Argentine team goes crazy, especially if they play crazy individually, the physical fitness of the Mexican team will definitely be dragged down.

At that time, as long as Bielsa replaced the three fires of Tevez, Messi and Higuain, he would definitely be able to extinguish Mexico's arrogance!

"Now guys, you must remember two points. One, you are much stronger than the Mexicans! Two, you will definitely win this game!" The lunatic Bielsa clenched his fists and looked at all the Argentines. Said the team member.

As soon as Bielsa finished speaking, the familiar tradition began again in the Argentina locker room. Before Leon could react, he was directly pushed down by Tevez who was closest to him...
