Cristiano Ronaldo was happy after the goal, but he and the Portuguese crowd did not celebrate immediately.

Because the referee has not made it clear whether the goal is valid or not, the goal is suspected of being offside.

At this time, the referee received a confirmation message from the VR video assistant referee in the headset, and then he raised one arm sideways and pointed in the direction of the Argentine field, and the goal was valid!

Portugal 1:0 Argentina!

Everyone knows that the two sides of this finals will fight to the death, and today will definitely stage a wonderful battle.

But no one expected that within a dozen seconds of kick-off, there would already be effective goals in the game.

Cristiano Ronaldo kicked off, B picked out a cross in the middle, and Cristiano Ronaldo kicked the world wave in front of the penalty area to blast open the Argentine goal.

Everything was so sudden that everyone was caught off guard.

From the very beginning of the game, Portugal coach Santos used the "blitzkrieg" offensive tactic to catch everyone by surprise.

......

The game continues, Argentina possession of the ball.

Midfielder McAllister was in no hurry to get the ball to the front line, with Portugal's blitzkrieg at the start of the game keeping him wary.

With the score behind, the players on the Argentine pitch need to think more about it, what if a sloppy long pass is sent to the opposite side?

Once the ball changes hands due to hurry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Yuqin and Leo who sharpened his knife may repeat the scene at the beginning of the game at any time.

Argentina, who are one goal behind, want to compete with Portugal in possession and the ability to create chances.

As long as they can keep the football at their feet for as long as possible, they can reduce the threat to their own goal.

Because football is at your feet most of the time on the pitch, even if you don't break through the Portuguese defense for a while, having the ball always gives you peace of mind.

Argentina, who are behind, do not want to waste any chances, they need to be efficient, offensive.

As long as good attacking chances are created and the opponent's goal is broken in limited chances, the attacking pressure will once again be transferred to Portugal.

Argentina themselves are a team that is good at possession and scored efficiently.

So McAllister chose to pass the ball laterally, and a big foot shifted the ball to the other half, avoiding Leo, who spared no physical strength and pressed madly.

Di Maria, who was sitting on the right wing, stopped the ball and steadily got the ball to his feet.

After Di Maria got the ball, he did not mean to pass the ball, dribbling forward to try to attract the Portuguese team's firepower up front.

When the blitzkrieg at the beginning worked, Yuqin got a signal from Santos, and actively pressed and assisted in the defense at all costs.

So after seeing Di Maria's move forward with the ball, Yuqin greeted him as soon as possible.

But what Ling Yuqin didn't expect was that after Di Maria saw him pressing forward, he still didn't mean to pass the ball to his teammates, but accelerated and crashed into him.

Such a move caught Yuqin off guard, and the ill-prepared Yuqin was easily shaken by Di Maria.

Seeing that this was wrong, Portugal Ottavio faced Di Maria, who was approaching at high speed, and Yuqin, who was shaken, quickly turned around and chased back.

There is no doubt that Di Maria is a master dribbler, he touches the ball delicately and has a high success rate in one-on-one breakthroughs.

If Di Maria continues to form a one-on-one situation, then he may continue to do so.

Di Maria certainly wouldn't take the risk in the finals easily, and after seeing that midfielder Ottavio and defender Dalot had their eyes on him, he didn't wait for Yuqin to close from behind and passed the ball directly to Messi in the middle.

However, his goal of attracting opposing defenders has been achieved, and Di Maria's move has pulled out an offensive space for Messi.

The football at the feet of Messi means that Argentina's next move will have thousands of possibilities.

He can dribble and break through to create great scoring opportunities for the team, or he can go straight in and seal the throat with one sword.

After Messi took the ball, the expressions of everyone in the Portuguese team naturally tensed, and the Portuguese midfielder Neves stared closely at the football at Messi's feet, not daring to attack easily.

Messi's shoulders sank, his body swayed to the right, Neves thought he was going to break through from the right, and quickly took a step to the right, wanting to continue to block Messi's way.

But this is just a fake action by Messi, after the shaking Neves took a step to the right, Messi unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and then easily broke through from Neves.

Neves, who was shaken, didn't want to think about it, and immediately turned around and followed Messi and ran towards his own big penalty area.

The threat of Messi dribbling breakthrough, no one will be unclear!

Santos and the coaching staff have studied countless Argentine matches, and they have analyzed Messi very thoroughly, even to the point that the Portuguese defenders can understand it at a glance.

However, on the field, Messi can still easily complete the breakthrough with the ball with his personal ability, which is the personal ability of world-class players.

Even if you've studied him for ten or twenty years, you still can't put a world superstar with such a wealth of experience and excellent ball sense in his place.

What Neves has to do now is to rush back to his own big penalty area in time, and work with the back line to help block Messi's progress.

Alvarez was already sprinting towards the goal when he saw Messi get the ball.

Di Maria attracted some of the attention of the Portuguese defenders, and at this time, Messi, who broke through with the ball, was surrounded by heavy soldiers, and Alvarez was almost unguarded!

The attention of the veteran Pepe is always on Alvarez, as Santos analyzed before the game.

The Argentine team is scary not only one Messi, Messi plus Alvarez, it is scary!

Their own dense backs and midfielders have gone all out to surround Messi, and as long as Pepe succeeds in blocking Alvarez, then whether Messi can create offensive opportunities for Argentina will draw a big question mark.

Pepe followed Alvarez closely, and if Messi passed, then he would be the first to step forward to make a steal, so that the Argentine team's offensive plan this time was stillborn!

Just as Santos and Pepe thought, Messi, who had no hope of breaking through, opted for the pass.

Because of his tacit understanding and habit with his teammates, Messi passed the ball to his teammates at key moments.

However, the direction of Messi's pass is not the direction where Alvarez expected Pepe to be.

Santos knows Argentina, but why doesn't Messi know Portugal?

Messi is well aware of how much Portugal value himself and Alvarez, and as the best attacking combination that Argentina have built up along the way, no team dares to take them lightly.

He chose to pass the ball to Di Maria!

Di Maria, who inserted forward, had not even touched the ball, and Yuqin, who had returned to his own half, had already come between him and the football.

Seeing Yuqin's appearance disrupt Argentina's attack, the Portuguese fans erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

Not only did Leo receive Santos's tactical arrangement to return to defense at all costs, but after the "blitzkrieg" worked, Yuqin was also transferred back to his own half by Santos on the sidelines and actively participated in the defense.
