Starting with Milan as a central defender

Chapter 215 He Wasn't Fighting Alone

beep!
As the referee blows the whistle!
The game officially begins.

Argentina has the ball.

Higuain kicked the ball across to Messi.

St Paul's Stadium instantly erupted into a horrifying sound.

After the start, the Argentine team was very stable and did not rush to launch an offensive.

Instead, let the players find their state first by passing the ball down.

Through previous competition verification, the Argentinian players are relatively slow to warm up.

The Italian team at the other end of the court stationed its defense line in the 40-meter area and worked step by step.

Not pressing, nor taking the initiative to press.

Wait for your opponent to make a move and then adjust accordingly.

In football, the fastest way for people to grow is through competition and training, through the baptism of consecutive victories.

This Italian team is different from the past and has been completely transformed.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The 6th minute of the game.

Argentina launched a tentative attack.

Mascherano holds the ball forward.

In the five major leagues, don't underestimate any dwarf player.

How strong is he?

In the 07 Champions League final, Kaka was restrained at his peak.

After coming off the field, Kaka immediately provided an assist.

Is this contrast not strong enough?

The three people next door couldn't guard against it.
Mascherano's top-notch defense obscured his offensive talent.

But in Meng San at that time, he was an extremely important offensive initiator.

Pass the ball without any delay.

The football quickly rolled to Biglia's feet.

moment.

The Italian team moved.

Candreva and De Rossi attacked front and back with extremely fast movements.

Biglia looked around and found that there was no good path for the ball.

So he passed it horizontally to the teammate who was connecting from the side.

His passing stability and success rate are very high.

But the premise is that there are very few threatening through balls, and they are basically safety balls.

And personal organizational creativity is average.
If he follows the trajectory of another world, he will join Milan in a few years.

By the way, he loves to cry.

"Enzo Perez!"

"What is he going to do with it?"

The Italian team's midfield pressing defense is not over yet. It must push the opponent as far out as possible and away from the attacking third.

Enzo Perez moved quickly with his feet, made two fake moves in succession, and suddenly lifted the instep of his outside foot.

"Nice pass!"

"He is the main offensive organizer in Argentina's midfield, with broad vision and accurate passing."

The St. Paul Stadium suddenly burst into loud cheers.

Argentina No. 10!
All eyes were on him.

Messi received the ball with his back and cleverly moved outside to avoid Marchisio.

Candreva steals fiercely from the side.

An exciting scene once again appeared on the green field.

The frequency of Messi's feet suddenly became faster, the second strike came first, and his right foot moved forward lightly.

Snapped!
The football emerged from Candreva's crotch.

"The combination of man and ball!"

"Lingbo microsteps!"

"The perfect combination of explosive power and rhythm!"

Followed by.

Argentina started to pick up speed.

Midfielders and frontcourt players swarmed into the opponent's half to help Messi attract firepower.

Qin Yun stood at the end of the defense line.

The formation diagram in his mind kept flashing, and he made the most reasonable command.

Messi continues to dribble the ball forward.

He has to rely on himself to tear apart the defense and create opportunities.

This is Argentina's tactic!
Pirlo stepped forward quickly.

Not forcing or grabbing, but using blocked positions to prevent the opponent from speeding up.

Behind him, De Rossi is ready to help defend at any time.

It's like a roadblock.
The art of defense!
Faced with this situation, Messi had no choice but to turn around and pass back.

"The Italian team's defense was very solid, and the formation was extremely intact, without giving the opponent any chance!"

"Textbook level zone defense!"

"Argentina's first wave of offense did not achieve very good results, but they still have the ball in their hands."

side of the field.

"You can't let your guard down just because you have a successful defense."

Prandelli put his hands in his pockets, his expression extremely serious.

"Boss, Andre and Daniele are relatively experienced and should not make such stupid mistakes."

"And we also have Qin."

Lubert wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had just seen Messi's continuous breakthroughs and almost thought he was going to be scored.

Prandelli remained silent and shook his head slightly.

The other side.

Savilia looked extremely relaxed.

He understands that tactical positions and details are just scratching the surface. The real focus is to allow Messi to feel full freedom, so that the Argentine team may have room for improvement.

It is said that Savilia has no strength.
He almost led La Plata University to defeat the top three players. If it weren't for Messi's overtime winner, there would be no six-time champion.

Under his coaching, Argentina erupted with unprecedented unity and joy.

The perspective returns to the green field.

The football passed continuously and came to the left wing.

"Rojo!"

"Argentina did not stick to the center, but tried to exploit the opponent's weak wings. It was a very smart choice!"

"Come see this attack!"

Rojo quickly moved forward along the sideline without encountering an interception on the way.

Because in Italy, in order to maintain a pressing net in the midfield, the players are closer to each other and maintain contact with each other.

But this results in the wing being slightly weak.
From God's perspective.

Argentina's formation changes.

Higuain pushed forward to the edge of the penalty area.

Aguero wanders in the opponent's defense.

Messi was wandering slowly in the offensive third.

Because he didn't pay much attention to dietary issues before, coupled with continuous high-intensity games, problems such as vomiting on the court appeared.

Although it has begun to be controlled now, it is still necessary to reduce ineffective running to avoid serious decline in physical fitness.

In this Argentina, the only one who cannot be replaced is him.

Rojo faced Abate's pressing and moved the ball to the center.

Enzo Perez followed up with a touch of the ball.

"Beautiful slant plug!"

"Aguero ran out of space!"

40 meter area.

Aguero stopped repeatedly without stopping at all and continued to move forward.

As the 2011 transfer bid king.

After joining Manchester City, his assists and goals have reached double figures every season, which can be said to be the absolute leader in the team.

His main task on the court is to relieve Messi's pressure and at the same time open up space with good dribbling.

De Rossi was approaching quickly.

Facing the old guy, Aguero's response was very simple.
Explosion!

The instant speed increase prevented De Rossi from reacting.

"A simple yet effective pass!"

"Breakthrough directly from the outside!"

"Argentina's attack is on!"

side of the field.

Savilia picked up the thermos and took a sip of hot water.

"Sergio was in very good shape today and may be the key to victory or defeat today."

"And you can attack the joint between the opponent's center back and fullback!"

The other side.

Prandelli looked nervous.

If a goal is scored in the first half, the opponent will definitely hold on.

Italy is not good at positional offense
Aguero's two short legs kept flipping, bursting out with terrifying speed
De Rossi was also very straightforward and returned directly to the penalty area.

Argentinian fans shouted wildly.

It was as if I had seen the football fall into the net.

in a blink.

Aguero arrives on the left side of the penalty area.

He slowly slowed down.

Everyone knows that in open battles, Argentina rarely crosses the ball high.

Because center Higuain mainly relies on his keen sense of smell and ghostly movement.
Of course, the most important thing is his strong coordination ability.

Aguero looked up and observed.

There were people standing inside and outside the Italian penalty area.The cross cannot be passed.

Simply dribble the ball inwards.

Using his personal strength to create fouls is also his specialty.

Barzagli put his hands behind his back and observed calmly.

As the distance between the two gets closer.

Aguero's left foot shakes.

A hidden cross pass!

Barzagli was caught off guard, his speed was very slow, and he could only watch helplessly.

The football stuck to the turf and quickly entered the penalty area.

Higuain is a thief, running back and forth continuously and successfully creating a gap.

Argentinian fans were extremely excited.

Italian fans choked with nervousness.

Higuain is very excited!
When he was in Naples, he lost to Milan in several consecutive games.

But now that he has the strongest teammates in the world, the flames of revenge instantly burn in his heart.

Raise your left foot!

In the nick of time.

A blue figure appeared.

Qin Yun was familiar with Xiao Yanqiang's movements, and coupled with his strong physical fitness, he was only half a step behind.

This half step.
I saw him in the most dangerous area, falling to the ground and shoveling without hesitation!

Snapped!
The toe touches the football with precision.

Higuain's pupil earthquake.

So fast?
I was obviously confused by his movement just now.
But what he didn't know was that every move he made was caught by Qin Yun's eyes.

At the Sao Paulo Stadium, Italian fans did not have too many shocked emotions because they had seen enough.

"Cut the mess with a quick knife and make a clean tackle!"

"It seems that Qin Yun is in good condition today."

The football rolled to the left side of the penalty area.

Barzagli thrust his butt back, pushed Aguero half a meter away, and easily controlled the ball.

This tendon meat does not grow in vain.

Immediately afterwards, pass the ball directly to the right.

Abate thrust forward sharply.

He is very fast, and after training last season, his ability to combine man and ball has also improved significantly.

Argentina's defensive tactics are simple.

Because there are not many people involved in the offense, it is easier to focus on building the defense line.

Mascherano radiates from both wings.

The two midfielders act as speed bumps.

Abate dribbled the ball across the midfield, and two defenders appeared in front of him, so he decisively hit the center.

Italy's formation premise is to launch counterattacks from the wing, thus eliminating the need to wash the ball.

Pirlo adjusted his position in small steps and turned sideways to meet the ball.

At the moment when football is about to arrive.

Suddenly step to the right, then twist in the opposite direction.

Easy and freehand escape.

Enzo Perez made a misjudgment and pounced in the wrong place.

Then Pirlo raised his left foot.

Snapped!
Make a long pass directly.

The precision of the football went straight to the Argentinian backfield like a cruise missile.

"With no one to limit him, Pirlo can express his talent as much as he wants!"

"Across midfield!"

"Argentinian central defenders Garay and Demichelis are tall and slow to turn."

"So it's going to be very tricky to deal with these deep, long passes."

"Italy strikes back!"

Balotelli threw his arms and ran wildly.

Demichelis hesitated and gave up the tactical foul.

In this case, the referee will most likely determine that he blocked the opponent's scoring opportunity, not an offensive opportunity.

The probability of a red card is high.
And he saw that Romero was already striking.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the football.

"Romero abandoned the door!"

"Be the first to point the ball to my teammates with my head, very calm judgment!"

"Within less than 10 minutes of play, both teams created good opportunities. The game was not particularly boring."

At the Sao Paulo Stadium, Argentinian fans burst into loud cheers.

Balotelli was not affected in any way and immediately turned around to chase.

Savilia breathed a sigh of relief.

Romero is still reliable, especially when it comes to the timing of attacks, and his choices are very sophisticated.

And after consecutive games, I gradually found my form.

Qin Yun was not idle and immediately ordered the reorganization of the defense line.

He understands that Argentina, which switches from defense to offense, will burst out with terrifying energy.

Especially Messi.
Garay stopped the ball at his feet.

Suddenly he kicked back, sending Balotelli flying.

"Mr. Big Scene!"

"He was Argentina's main center back when they won the 08 Olympic Games, and then moved to Real Madrid for 1000 million euros."

"Barcelona also participated in the bidding at that time, but ultimately failed and could only spend 500 million euros to sign Pique from Manchester United."

"But now the gap between the two is gradually widening."

Garay continued to dribble the ball forward.

With a sudden shot of cold arrows, he kicked off and sent a super long-distance ground pass.

His ball-playing level is better than Pique.

The football rolled near the middle circle.

Still Mascherano, he is the hub of Argentina's offensive and defensive transition.

at the same time.

Argentina's frontcourt players speed up simultaneously and start running.

Higuain is in the middle, suppressing the opponent's central defender and creating space for his teammates behind him.

Aguero serves as the second forward, hiding behind Higuain and swimming, ready to break into the penalty area to create opportunities with his personal ability.

Messi retreats and stretches the depth of the opponent's defense.

What about the two attacking midfielders?
They are like satellites, protecting Messi on both sides.

Marchisio quickly stepped forward to press and interfere with the opponent's ball.

"Argentina's classic tactics!"

"Pass the damn football to Messi!"

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is true.

Argentina No. 14 passes the ball to Argentina No. 10.

Messi turned around and pulled the ball slightly with the sole of his foot.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the field.

De Rossi did not give his opponent a chance to react and directly approached to steal.

But then, a loud variation sounded on the green field.

Messi stepped forward with his right foot slightly, lowered his shoulders and shifted his center of gravity downward.

Every movement is natural and flowing.

De Rossi subconsciously stretched his feet.
This is the moment.

Messi turns his right foot into a supporting foot, steps forward diagonally to the left, and releases the ball.

Simple Matthews excels.
It is also the most perfect Matthews dribble.
The Argentinian fans were so excited that they could not control themselves and waved their flags wildly.

They are grateful to be able to witness Messi's growth.

Messi kept pace and accelerated again.

Within a distance of 3 to 7 meters, he has the strongest ability to break through and escape.

There is no doubt about this.

Pirlo still neither forced nor grabbed, keeping his position firmly locked.

But this time, Messi rose to the challenge.

His left foot touches the ball frequently, even making ghost shadows appear.

fast!
The same thought came to everyone's mind.

"He's going to challenge the entire Italian defense?"

"Unbelievable!"

Pirlo also thought he was old at this moment.

Can't keep up with Messi's moves
But his defensive strategy remains unchanged.

Block passing routes through the ability to predict.

It is equivalent to cutting off Messi's connection with his teammates.

Messi looked up and observed, coming to a conclusion.

You can only do it yourself.
So he speeded up and changed direction again.

Sweeping to the right abruptly.

"You can shoot directly!"

"Rub your right foot and shoot."

"Buffon, judge accurately and save the ball!"

"Italian veterans tried their best to stop Messi!"

Qin Yun stood in the penalty area, smiling happily.

He is not fighting alone.

There are also strong teammates around him.

In this game, it’s hard to say who is stronger or weaker.
　Sorry, I'm stuck.
　　The manuscripts will be sent out tomorrow, and the semi-finals should be over on Thursday
