Chapter 851 Messi broke out in silence
The Chinese team quickly scored goals in the first wave of offense after the kick-off. This not only restored the confidence of the Chinese players on the field, but even the Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV also had expectations for the Chinese team to beat Argentina in an upset.
As long as fans who have studied the game a little bit know that Argentina's offense is world-class, but their defensive ability is... huh.
The Chinese team's offensive cooperation is actually very common. It is a small cooperation between the three wingers to drive Argentina's partial defensive force, and then the full-back makes a cross to find a defensive space between the two central defenders.
For this kind of simple attack, as long as the defender's attention is concentrated enough, Ai Luo who advances forward has no chance at all, because Liu Jian's cross from the side is not accurate, his strength is too large, and he is closer to the central defender Demichelis.
The Argentine national TV commentator sighed and said: "Martin's defense this time is really disappointing. The Chinese team equalized the score less than 2 minutes after the team scored a goal. This is a big blow to the morale of the team!"
Having said that, in fact, the Argentine players regained their confidence after kick-off. After all, the strength gap between the two sides is obvious. Except for Aiello’s super personal ability, other players can rely on partial gaps to create opportunities, especially Messi and Carlos Tevez.
And Di Maria's breakthrough at the other end can also create enough threats. His number of successful breakthroughs is currently ranked fourth in the World Cup behind Aiello, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
After the game restarted, the Chinese team learned the lessons of the Argentine team and performed their duties during this period of time. They did not relax their vigilance and did a good job on the defensive end. Coupled with the cheers and cheers of the Chinese fans in the stands, they displayed their personal abilities beyond the ordinary.
Liu Jian, who was originally defending Di Maria on the right, was helpless, but in the subsequent waves of attacks, he could successfully predict the opponent's breakthrough intention and destroy the ball out of the sideline.
It was a pity that Argentina did not give the Chinese team a chance to counterattack quickly. The frontcourt players always used their physical strength to press in high positions, so that whether it was Zheng Zhi, Wu Xi, or Hao Junmin, it was difficult to turn around and face the attacking direction with the ball.
However, this choice also caused the defender to have no passing route and could only drive the ball forward blindly.
Aiello was alone in the front and lacked support. It was difficult to accurately pass the ball to his teammates under the entanglement of Demichelis. Therefore, in the process of switching from defense to offense, he was often unable to control the football. Instead, Argentina got the football and played consecutive second attacks.
Against this background, the Chinese team had no choice but to accept the reality and defend honestly. They had already made full psychological preparations before the game. Facing a team like Argentina that has the strength to compete for the World Cup championship, they should be able to endure loneliness. In addition, as long as the current score is stabilized for a period of time, the impatient one will be Argentina, and then it will be the opportunity of the Chinese team!
In fact, after the score was equalized by the Chinese team, Argentina did not have many ways to attack. Facing a team with a bus in front of the goal is a problem for the whole world. There is no third way except for long shots and set kicks.
The probability of penetration with a short pass is even lower than that of a world wave with a long shot.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and Argentina still had the advantage on the field.
Messi worked very hard during this period and asked for the ball more frequently, but facing two or three Chinese team defenders, he would always have trouble dribbling the ball. He knew... This is a poor performance!
He spent too much energy in the La Liga and Champions League throughout the 2009-2010 season, and the state of the game was not adjusted, so that Aiello scored eight goals in the World Cup, but he only scored a poor three goals. The obvious gap in statistics highlights the state of the two.
However, the poor state did not affect the Argentine players to hand the ball to Messi.
The reason why Messi can become a player at the same level as Aiello is that in addition to being able to create goals with his personal ability, every time he takes the ball, it will cause the opponent's football panic, so that the defensive players will miss other offensive players. No one knows whether Messi will pass the ball to the best position when he is dribbling.
"Messi——!" Under the shouts of the narrator of the Argentine National Television, Messi swayed away from Zhao Xuri and directly shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area.
But his shot missed the goal and went over the bar.
The Argentine TV commentator did not blame Messi for giving up cooperation and choosing a long-range shot. On the contrary, he affirmed his sudden cold arrow: "The Chinese team recovered their formation again after equalizing the score. Long-range shots are one of the best ways to break dense defenses. Messi's attempt is a very good choice. Didn't he score a wonderful direct free kick before? Maybe he will find his best form after continuous attempts..."
During this period of time, Messi's performance was not very good, but he worked very hard.
Many fans who know football know that Messi is under a lot of pressure. As the best offensive players in today's football, the Chinese people naturally have high expectations in the super competition like the World Cup, but he can't find the "top" feeling of playing in Barcelona in the national team. The Argentine national team does not have the roles of Xavi and Iniesta, and there is no assisting sharp Alves...
Therefore, Messi can only explore in the national team to see if he can build his personal ability on the basis of team supremacy and exert the best effect.
In the next few minutes, Messi tried again to break through and shoot long-range. The sight was much better than before, but because Wang Xiaolei was very focused, he still easily took the long-range shot in his arms.
"Damn it!" Messi secretly clenched his fists!
Compared with those players who like to express their existence with words, Messi prefers to use his actual actions to speak for him.
"Messi is taking the ball more and more, and the effect of shooting is getting better and better. It seems that it is time for Argentina to score goals!" Andy Gray has a keen insight into the future trend of the game with his years of commentary career.
As the game progressed, the Chinese team's defense gradually tended to defend Messi personally. In addition to the fixed Zheng Zhi, Wu Xi and Jiang Zhipeng defending Messi, even Zhao Xuri and central defender Feng Xiaoting were eyeing on Messi. They were afraid that Messi, who was getting better and better, would find his best state and go straight to Huanglong!
This is something that all Chinese players do not want to see.
※※※
The defensive players of the Chinese team soon found that Messi in front of them was getting more and more difficult to deal with, so the number of defenders invested became more and more, so that they were negligent in defending other Argentine players.
In the 36th minute of the game, Argentina had been attacking continuously for 2 minutes. However, under the cheers of the fans in the stands, the Chinese team performed quite tenaciously, and saved the day again and again. Higuain had a shovel shot in front of the goal and went straight to the dead corner of the goal 1 minute ago, but... Wang Xiaolei made a superb save, flying the ball out of the baseline with a single palm.
Messi has noticed that the defense of the Chinese team is a little loose, and his attention is not as concentrated as before. Zhao Xuri, who always assists in defense at critical moments, has become much more honest because of receiving a yellow card, so he raised his hand for the ball without hesitation.
Immediately, all the Chinese defensive players became nervous. In the past ten minutes or so, Messi's performance was quite outstanding. He would always start suddenly and pass several people in a row, so hard to defend, so that Wu Xi and Zheng Zhi couldn't spare their attention to attack. Ai Luo was also very helpless about this. As the team's most threatening offensive player, he couldn't help his teammates defend at will, otherwise the siege of the defense line would be even more tragic.
Messi faced Wu Xi and Rong Hao who were fighting and retreating, and after making a fake move to break through the ribs, he quickly dunked the ball outside. The two had to stop and twist their waists to turn their body weight back, but Messi stopped abruptly on the spot, and flicked the ball to the inside with the outside of his left foot. Zheng Zhi felt bad and decisively defended.
However, Messi slammed the ball forward with the arch of his left foot and accelerated from the space between Zheng Zhi and Wu Xi. He slid past like a loach. Zheng Zhi didn't even have time to foul. The full-back Rong Hao shot quickly, trying to scoop the ball away before Messi had a second touch. As a result, Messi shot the ball even faster.
In the blink of an eye, Messi dribbled the ball over the penalty area line, Feng Xiaoting had no choice but to give way to the outside line, blocking the route of Messi's goal,
But... Messi suddenly used the arch of his right foot to push the ball between Feng Xiaoting's legs while he was making a fake move.
When Feng Xiaoting realized that something was wrong, it was too late, the football rolled over from his crotch, Higuain stepped in behind and volleyed directly.
This shot was not only of high quality, but also extremely fast. Wang Xiaolei just fell to the ground sideways on conditioned reflex, and ended up blocking Higuain's shot route.
The football hit Wang Xiaolei's arm and bounced back.
"...It's too dangerous." Before Huang Jianxiang could finish his sentence, Messi appeared on the spot where the football landed.
The next moment, Messi hits a low flat ball with his right foot, which he is not good at.
"——Leo Messi!!"
Wang Xiaolei's second reaction was very quick, and he rushed towards the football like a hungry tiger, only to find that the football was sticking to the ground...
After completing the shot, Messi jumped up immediately in order to avoid being injured by Wang Xiaolei's inertia.
A few seconds later, the football crossed the goal line against the far goal post and fell into the embrace of the snow-white net...
