Chapter 897 Mourinho: Let go and slaughter!

"I can't believe what I'm seeing, our team is two goals behind...God, what's going on? Why Messi, Tevez, Higuain, Di Maria, they all disappeared What about our defensive players? Burdisso and Demichelis fell like stakes..." The Argentine commentator was very frustrated.He couldn't understand why "Argentina, the most powerful in the past [-] years", had such a performance.

The game continues.

Argentina, who fell behind by two goals, started to get impatient. They were desperately attacking. Even though they were two goals behind, the Argentine players were impatient, but they still did not despair. They thought they could win England. To be honest, from the bottom of their hearts, From the head coach Maradona to the players, they really didn't take the European champion England seriously.

Maradona said before the game that he admired Li Rui, implying that England has nothing to worry about except Li Rui.

Indeed, Li Rui turned Argentina's defense upside down by himself. The goals of Beckham and Lampard all came from Li Rui's assists.The world's number one star in this game, so far, is not an assassin, but willing to be a green leaf!

************
Argentina wanted to score goals and close the gap, but they soon found it difficult.

"England stars fought desperately with Argentine players in every corner of the pitch, even if they had little chance of getting the ball, they wanted to grab it, like a hungry lion with a green light, watching the English players fight hard. This makes the Argentine players very afraid. Not only that, England is not completely passive, once they get an offensive opportunity, they will rush forward, putting great pressure on the Argentine team...Argentina is completely passive, Whether it is on the offensive end or the defensive end!" "L'Equipe" commented after the game.

"Damn! England worked so hard in the first half, didn't they think about the rest of the game?" said a Spanish reporter.

The colleague next to him glanced at him, "If you don't work hard and win Argentina, you will be eliminated, so what's the point of thinking about the next game?"

England's counterattack seemed monotonous, just looking for Li Rui's point, but the effect was very good. Every time they counterattacked, the Argentine team's goal would be flustered.

"The premise of supporting England's style of play is that Li Rui is on the court. At this time, he is unsolvable!" The Dutch commentator said that he must also be worried about the Dutch team, because the Dutch team's semi-final match The opponent is the winner of England and Argentina. Judging from the current situation on the field, England is approaching the semi-finals.

***********
At [-] minutes into the first half, Argentina is still [-]:[-] behind England. What's more serious is that the Argentine team is working hard on offense, but to be honest, there is really no threat. The hope of a score gap, let alone an equalizer.

"Tevez!" Maradona yelled from the sidelines: "Dribble more! Don't be afraid of breaking through! Give Messi some burden, he is under a lot of pressure now!"

Tevez turned his head to look at Maradona, his heart beating and anxious.Messi under pressure?joke!Am I less stressed?Although I thought so in my heart, I still had to do what the head coach said.

If those experts heard Maradona's words, they would definitely say something again, but it is true that Maradona's team really does not seem to have its own technical and tactical characteristics, and is too superstitious about personal abilities. When not opening the game, it relies too much on the breakthrough of the players.

***********
Carlos Tevez raised his hand for the ball and Di Maria passed it to him.

Facing Gareth Barry's defense, Tevez made a fake move. Seeing that the opponent was unmoved, he stepped on his bicycle several times in a row and pretended to break through from the left. Gareth Barry came up to intercept. Unexpectedly, Tevez Si tilted his body and swung his right foot beautifully, dodging Gareth Barry's interception.

Gareth Barry made a shovel just now, and now it's too late to get up again.

Carlos Tevez, past Gareth Barry, speeds up his dribbling—he's like Maradona said, dribbling, dribbling, trying to keep the ball behind the opponent's goal line.

However, in the face of Terry's interception, Tevez knew he could not move forward and was forced to pass the ball to Messi.Milner, who was assisting him, came up from the side and knocked him down. The ball was also snatched from his feet. More importantly, Milner's tackle was not a foul!
"England's chance to fight back!"

***********
"England stole the ball! Their chance to counterattack! The ball was handed over to Beckham, who made a long pass, and Argentina's defense was in a panic!" Lineker stood up and shouted.

Li Rui was running and chasing the ball like lightning, but Otamendi wanted to block it.Li Rui stretched out his foot while running, and Otamendi flew the ball again. Li Rui also accelerated from the other side in a flash, and rushed over!

Pick the ball!

Argentina goalkeeper Romero yelled: "What are the defenders doing?! Stop him! Stop him!!"

Demichelis heard his roar and came up to intercept Li Rui. Li Rui lifted his foot and pretended to shoot. Demichelis stretched out his foot to block Li Rui's shot, but Li Rui's fake shot really kicked him away. .

Then Li Rui glimpsed the Argentine goalkeeper Romero abandoning the goal and attacking from the corner of his eyes. Shocked, he tried his best to jump up, but he still didn't touch the ball.

The England fans are already cheering, and some Argentine fans are holding their heads. That is hopeless. If the half-time is [-]:[-], God will not be able to save Argentina.

The ball hit the crossbar and bounced back to the goal. Now Romero reacted quickly, scrambling back to the goal and holding the ball in his arms.Argentina escaped.

***********
Li Rui looked annoyed. In today's game, he already had two assists, but he hadn't scored yet. He was eager to score.

Subsequently, Argentina had the best chance since the start of the game. Messi finally showed a super level.

This made Maradona very upset off the field. When Messi shot just now, Higuain was on the other side. As long as Messi passed it, it would be an empty goal!Empty!
"Damn it!" Maradona cursed in his heart.

Messi's face was serious, and he roared towards the sky. The Argentine number one star, 'Diego's successor' is under great pressure now. Argentina is completely passive in today's game, and Messi is still in this World Cup. No goal, he wanted to score too much just now.

***********
In stoppage time in the first half, Li Rui created a free kick in a good position for England. Beckham's free kick hit the post and went out of the baseline, which put the Argentine fans' hearts to the test. .

When the referee Irmakov from Uzbekistan blew the whistle at the end of the first half, all the trembling Argentine fans breathed a sigh of relief - at least in the next 15 minutes, they were It's safe now.Although they don't want to admit it, the fact is that England played better than Argentina in the first half, much better!

When the referee Irmakov's whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the TV camera showed the scoreboard, England [-]:[-] Argentina, which made England fans excited.The hatred between England and Argentina 'runs deep'!Leading the archenemy [-]:[-] at halftime, this made many England fans vent their anger!

"The first half ended, England [-]-[-] Argentina! Haha, we pushed the Argentines to a dead end. Eight years ago, we saw them off in the group stage. Today, we will kick them home again!!!" Lineker shouted loudly, feeling so happy in his heart.

Inside the UK, countless pubs.The fans cheered loudly, all raised their glasses, and shouted after Lineker: "Cheers! See off Argentina!"

************
The England players walked off the pitch with smiles on their faces that they couldn't hide no matter what. In fact, they didn't try to hide anything.They just want to stimulate the Argentines. The two teams are real rivals and there is no need to hide anything.

Gerrard also blew a whistle: "The good show has just begun and the curtain has come to an end. Oh, what a pity!"

Mascherano glared at Gerrard. Although the two were teammates at the club, they represented England and Argentina respectively at the moment, and they were feuds.

Mascherano just glared, but Tevez is not a good temper, he rushed up to beat Gerrard, how could other players in England let Tevez succeed, Carragher came up to block Tevez, the emotions of both sides They were all a little excited. The referee, who had already walked to the sidelines, blew his whistle again and again. Coupled with the control of the coaching staff of both sides, they finally controlled their emotions.

Seeing the players from both sides clashing at the entrance of the player tunnel, this seems to have stimulated the adrenaline of the England fans and the Argentine fans even more. The fans of the two sides who already had grievances first scolded each other, and then began to try to break through the police wall. The scene was once Very confusing.

"This is the game between England and Argentina. They want to step on each other on and off the field, and abuse them fiercely!" The Dutch commentator said with emotion.

***********
Seeing the proud and proud looks of the English players, Mourinho frowned. He felt that it was necessary to teach these arrogant boys a good lesson during the intermission.

As Mourinho expected, he heard the roar inside the locker room before he entered it.

Ashley Cole shouted shirtless: "The Argentine is a bird! We will win this game, guys, we should consider the game against the Dutch team."

"May I ask Coach Cole, how should we play the next game against the Netherlands." Mourinho pushed the door open.

"We should—" As soon as Ashley Cole spoke, Li Rui quickly pouted, and then he noticed who was talking, and immediately shut up.

Mourinho had a cold face and ignored Ashley Cole. The other cheerful guys who were laughing and talking about the first half of the game also shut up immediately, even though they didn't know why the boss made such a picture Look, aren't you satisfied with leading [-]:[-] in the first half?However, in view of Mourinho's absolute authority in England, they all shut up obediently.

***********
"You guys did a good job in the first half." Regarding Argentina's two-goal lead and overall dominant performance in the first half, Mourinho just described it lightly as 'good job', and then went on to say , "However, do you think this is enough? It's really useless!"

Hearing what Mourinho said, everyone including Li Rui was stunned. They led [-]:[-] in the first half, and the England team had an absolute advantage from the beginning to the end.Isn't this performance enough?What else does the boss want?
Mourinho looked at their surprised looks and secretly smiled, but he still kept a stern expression on his face: "Look at you. What are you wondering? We are a team that wants to win the championship. This performance can Are you satisfied? Who is our opponent? Argentina! Do I need to remind you? Argentina is the favorite to win the championship, and the odds are still ahead of us. Is [-]:[-] guaranteed to win the game? "

"The game is played out, not the odds." Someone muttered.

"James, do you want to rest early?" Mourinho glared at Milner who said 'strange words'. The latter shrank his neck and stopped talking. It was not easy for him to get the chance to start.

***********
"You guys wanted to spit on the Argentines after the first half to express your excitement. What do you think the Argentines will think? Panicked or slumped at half-time? Wrong! Gentlemen. You are facing Argentina. They aim for the championship just like us! If you think the game is over early, I bet you will be the biggest laughing stock!"

No one said a word.They think about it, they taunted the Argentines just now, and the reaction of the Argentines after being provoked will indeed be the same. The Argentines will not admit defeat willingly.

"If you are satisfied here. You feel that a two-goal lead can let you go to bed with confidence. Then you are waiting to be killed by the Argentine in the last 45 minutes! I am definitely not alarmist! Think about us and the Germans We were able to reverse the game when we were behind by [-] goals. Can you be sure that the Argentines have no ability to reverse?! Don’t forget, they have a group of stars, and a Messi who explodes is quite terrifying.”

When Mourinho said this, he looked at Li Rui. As he wished, Li Rui was also stimulated by Mourinho's words.

Seeing Li Rui's expression, Mourinho struck while the iron was hot and said, "Li, do you also think [-]:[-] is enough? Or are you unhappy with my praise of Messi? You want me to take back that sentence... And others, if you want me to praise you, win this game! [-]:[-]? No! No! No!! I want to see [-]:[-]! [-]:[-]! Or [-]: [-]!! Does anyone think you have scored too many goals?" Mourinho shouted, pointing at the door of the locker room, "Let the whole world see how amazing you are! There is such a chance to humiliate the Argentines, boys, let it go Go carnage! Let everybody look at you and they'll say, look, this is what champions are made of, how cool that sounds."

***********
When Mourinho was beating the players in the locker room, Maradona was in the locker room encouraging the Argentine players who were beaten by the English.

"Boys, our strategy in the second half was still attacking. You can't win without attacking. I want you to keep this in mind. From the beginning of the game, put pressure on the England team. A little more aggressive running in the frontcourt, it will be better. I don't want to see you sleepwalking in the first half. Keep your heads up and remember that the English can't beat us. As long as we can do our best, no one can stop us! Don't forget Yes, we are here for the championship."

"Leo! In the second half, I need you to be more active, and Carlos, you two should cooperate more." Maradona looked at Messi and Tevez and said.

Messi nodded in agreement.He was very dissatisfied with his performance in the first half. Li Rui assisted two goals in the first half of the game, but he did not perform much. This is not acceptable to Messi.

"No problem, Diego." Tevez next to him also nodded.

***********
Maradona looked at his watch. The time was almost up. He waved his hands to signal to his disciples that they could start. "Boys, go, you are the best, kill England! The whole country will be proud of you!"

Under the leadership of captain Mascherano, the Argentine players chanted slogans, walked out of the locker room and ran to the field.

When Maradona was looking at his watch, Mourinho was also looking at the time, and then he said to the players, "It's time for the Argentine to play, let's wait a while, boys remember, we are going to win the championship The team, the heaviest ones come last."

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room. After Mourinho's beating, they also began to restrain their pride. However, this does not mean that they will be good-tempered and feuding with Argentina.

The Argentine came to the stadium earlier than England and waited for England for a full 2 ​​minutes.These 2 minutes are normally used, and no one pays attention at all, but in such a noisy environment, behind 2:[-], in the thin rain, waiting on the court for [-] minutes foolishly, this makes Argentine players Think they're like idiots.

When the English players walked onto the pitch with the smiles of winners, the Argentines' resentment had reached its peak.

Before the second half started, Mourinho gave Maradona a hard time.

The king of the ball is not necessarily a successful head coach.
