Chapter 335 The Strongest Hero
In the 60th minute, Argentina made the first substitution of the game.
Sergio Aguero replaced striker Overman.
This is a very obvious signal to strengthen the team's frontcourt offense.
Falling behind again, Argentina has been pushed to a corner, and they have no way out!
In the face of Argentina, who was madly pressing on the attack, the Chinese team once again returned to their own half and continued to adopt defensive counterattack tactics.
But unlike the first half, it's hard for them to get so many chances this time around.
The decline in physical fitness, the adjustment of Argentina's targeted tactics... For many reasons, the situation of the game has changed.
One offense and one defense, the game once again fell into a stalemate.
After Aguero came on, he was very active.
He was younger than everyone present. He was only seventeen years old in 1988. He was about the same height as Messi. He looked a little thin, but his body was very flexible and his foot skills were excellent.
After playing, he quickly got a chance on the right side of the penalty area, stabbed with his right foot, and almost broke the goal of the Chinese team.
Clausen immediately made a substitution, and Hao Junmin was replaced by Zhao Xuri.
This is a signal to strengthen the defense, and Hao Junmin's physical strength is almost exhausted.
One side strengthens the attack, the other side strengthens the defense.
Everyone knows very well that the Chinese team still hopes to drag the 2-1 score to the end of the game.
Like when they beat Brazil in the semi-final.
But some people obviously don't think so.
In the 78th minute, Argentina got another chance.
After receiving a pass from his teammate on the left side of the penalty area, Messi suddenly started, forcibly broke through the defense of two Chinese players, and dribbled the ball to the penalty area.
Feng Xiaoting wanted to intercept the ball, but Messi's dribbling speed had already picked up. He didn't break the ball for the first time, which made Feng Xiaoting pale and immediately shot again, but at this time, Messi had already killed into the restricted area.
The second kick tripped Messi with the ball into the penalty area.
The Danish referee Terje Hauge quickly blew the foul whistle, pointed to the penalty spot, and signaled Feng Xiao to come forward.
"A penalty and a yellow card!"
"In the 78th minute, Messi forced a breakthrough with his personal ability and created a penalty kick."
"Feng Xiaoting also got a yellow card."
"It was really a very bad defense, the two defenders on the right side of China were too easily penetrated by Messi."
"In other words, Messi's ability is too strong. When he rushed to the front of the penalty area, when Feng Xiaoting was one-on-one, he couldn't stop Messi at all. He could only choose to foul."
The players of the Chinese team watched depressedly as Zabaleta shoved the ball into Messi's hands, indicating that he would take the penalty himself.
The morale of the players was hit hard again, and Messi could not be stopped at all.
Three small steps, not even a run-up, directly pushed the bottom right corner, the ball scored!
Argentina again equalised in the 79th minute.
And this penalty once again caused a painful blow to the Chinese team.
With two goals leading and two equalizations by opponents, the pressure on both the players on the field and the coaches on the sidelines is particularly high at this time.
…………
…………
Argentina coach Pancho Ferraro took the lead in making substitutions, replacing Gago with Biglia.
Gago's advantage lies in his midfield organization and passing, while Biglia's defense will be better.
But at the same time, the No. 11 player Amenteros replaced midfielder Alchubi, which is a signal to strengthen the attack.
Amenteros' speed is very threatening on the left, and his wide crosses are precise.
It can be seen that Pancho Ferraro is going to attack the right side of the Chinese team with all his strength and open the channel from this side.
Klauchen also made a quick substitution, Wang Hongliang replaced Zhou Haibin and continued to strengthen the midfield defense.
Wang Hongliang entered the court with Clausen's instructions, and he ran directly to Yang Yang.
"The old man asked me to tell you, don't worry about defense, do your best to attack, we can only defend if you stand in front."
Having said this, Wang Hongliang walked up to Yang Yang and hugged the panting teammate, "Please!"
Yang Yang patted Wang Hongliang's shoulder hard, nodded, and said nothing more.
If you want to say that Yang Yang has the deepest impression on Wang Hongliang, it is that he is the only person in the National Youth Team that Yang Yang often encounters in the gym.
The midfielder, who is only 1.74 meters tall and weighs 72 kilograms, has dark skin, but is very good at physical confrontation.
Using his own words to ridicule himself, he was not born to eat this bowl of rice, and he kicked out by coincidence. He has no speed, no height, and no advantage, so he can only rely on hard training, constantly training hard.
His basic skills are solid and his passing ability is characteristic, but his biggest advantage is his fierce defensive style on the court and his excellent physical confrontation among his peers.
In Clausen's original plan, the double midfielders were Wang Hongliang and Wang Shouting, but both of them were injured later. Clausen only kept Wang Hongliang, but he was only a substitute in the team, only in the last game of the group stage. He only started one game against Panama.
Sometimes, luck is like this, the team plays smoothly, and any head coach will not change at will.
And Wang Hongliang rarely disappoints. Every time he comes off the bench, he can bring a dazzling performance, especially on the defensive end.
After replacing Zhou Haibin, the Chinese team formed the third midfielder composed of Zhao Xuri, Cui Peng and Wang Hongliang.
The front court trident has not changed, but everyone has taken the initiative to take on more.
Yang Yang ran in a wide range, covering the left and middle of the entire court. Gao Lin kept harassing and pressing Argentina's back line in front. Since Argentina stormed the Chinese team's left, Chen Tao actively returned to the defense. .
The situation became very stalemate, and most of the game was played in the Chinese team's half.
There is no way, the skill is not as good as others, if you press it out again, it is courting death.
…………
…………
The game on the court fell into a stalemate, and the fans in the stands were also very worried.
This situation can change anytime, anywhere.
Especially for Chinese fans like Wei Zhen, Wei Zheng and Su Wenhong, it is even more uneasy.
Why?
Because there are so many cases like this!
In the past few decades, Chinese football does not know how many times this kind of tragedy happened, and the chain fell off at a critical moment.
Once, twice, it can be said that the skills are not as good as others, but if it happens repeatedly, then I have to admit that the psychological quality of Chinese players is indeed weak.
Without a strong psychological quality, without a strong soul, how can it be sustained in key events?
"It's up to Yang Yang now!" Wei Zheng said worriedly.
Su Wenhong revealed that he couldn't bear it, but he had to admit that this was the truth.
"It's not easy enough for him to bring the team to the final by himself. I hope he can handle it."
"Yeah, Argentina has replaced that Biglia at this time, and has been cooperating with Zabaleta, staring at Yang Yang, not leaving an inch. This intention is very obvious." Wei Zhen shook his head.
"The other players of the Chinese team, in the eyes of the Argentines, are not a threat at all. They are only afraid of Yang Yang alone, and they even use two people to stare at him. You can imagine how difficult it is for him now."
How can you play with two people following you everywhere?
As soon as you get the ball, you are faced with a double-team of two people, can you still perform well?
Yang Yang's one-on-one is indeed very advantageous, but one-on-two is not available.
Even a top-level superstar like Ronaldinho, being followed by such two players anytime and anywhere, I am afraid that he will not be able to play half of his usual level.
What's more, Yang Yang has already scored two goals in this game.
The outside media is right at all, this is the showdown between Yang Yang and Messi.
Both have now scored twice and are both trying to find opportunities to help the team score.
The Argentina team is restricting Yang Yang, and the Chinese team is also restricting Messi. The only difference is that Argentina's players are stronger than Chinese players, and Messi will face less pressure.
But this is a football game.
"No matter what, in my mind, he is the strongest hero!" Su Ye said suddenly, with a very positive tone.
After Wei Zhen and others heard it, they all nodded.
Who can say, who dares to say, Yang Yang is not a hero?
Even at this time, Yang Yang is still running on the court without hesitation. He just hopes to use his movement to get rid of the opponent's defense and create opportunities for himself.
Isn't such a person a hero?
…………
…………
Yang Yang could feel that as the game time passed, his physical energy was constantly being exhausted.
He didn't measure in detail how many meters he ran, and he wasn't interested in this.
He also didn't think about how to create opportunities in detail, and it's useless to think about it now.
Sabaletta and Biglia were like dog skin plaster, clinging to him everywhere, and it would be futile to think about not letting go of them.
Eighty-five minutes later, Yang Yang could feel that Zabaleta was starting to run a little bit and couldn't keep up.
This is normal.
Yang Yang's scope of activities in this game is too large, not to mention Sabaletta, even Yang Yang himself can't bear it, and he can only support it with one breath.
Biglia is a little closer to the middle, this is to take into account the defense of the middle, after all, he is playing instead of Gago.
The two have a very clear division of labor, so that no matter where Yang Yang goes, someone will entangle him at the first time, and the other person must be behind him to assist and protect, ready to step forward to defend at any time.
Under normal circumstances, Yang Yang can get the ball, but it is difficult for him to turn around, and the ball cannot stay under his feet.
A little careless, immediately fall into the left and right flanking, the ball is easy to lose.
Therefore, Yang Yang kept running, fighting with the opponent, and betting on a possibility.
That is when Zabaleta couldn't keep up with the rhythm, Yang Yang got the ball.
As long as he can turn around, as long as he can attack from the front, he believes that there will be a chance.
Gao Lin and Chen Tao will definitely support him!
