The battle between England and Argentina, their old rivals, has been given too much connotation beyond the competitive meaning. 99% of what people talk about exceeds the realistic factors of the World Cup, that is: qualifying, advancing to the knockout rounds, going on...
Revenge, revenge, revenge...
England wants revenge, and so does Argentina. Twenty years have passed since the Falklands War, but the entire Argentine nation is still full of hatred for England. This is understandable. The war of blood and dignity should be remembered from generation to generation, and grievances can be forgotten with a smile.
It depends on what kind of hatred it is.
Even if Argentina defeats England again, the United Kingdom will not return the Falklands to Argentina and will not reverse the outcome of the war 20 years ago. However, the entire nation is looking forward to defeating England on the green field. Football is a kind of spiritual opium.
, if the Argentines can defeat England, it will take the entire nation to the sky.
The Anglo-Afghan war reached 60 minutes, and the score on the scoreboard was already 3:0.
The hearts of the Argentinians were already cold, not only because of the negative stimulation brought by the score, but also from the scene, the Pampas Eagles made it impossible to see any hope, not even the slightest spark of hope was ignited.
At this time, most people's thinking begins to return to the nature of competition.
Argentina would lose this game, undisputedly, defeated by England with a splendor that no one could have foreseen, and that splendor, lightning speed, crushing power, passion and exhilaration, is exactly what Argentina is after.
.
Calm down and think carefully, the Argentinians began to panic, a huge panic!
According to the current score, if the Swedish team defeats Nigeria in another match in the same group, no matter how many Sweden wins, the Swedish team will surpass Argentina before the start of the final round.
Goal difference!
Yes, Sweden lost to England 1:3.
At this time, Argentina was 0:3 behind. Argentina only beat Nigeria by a negligible 1:0. As long as Sweden wins, the Swedish team will have the same points as Argentina, but the goal difference will definitely be higher than Argentina!
This is the group of death. One goal and one conceded goal may completely change the entire situation.
Bielsa probably thought of this and immediately used the last substitution spot without hesitation.
And the person he replaced was: Batistuta.
When the substitution number was played on the substitution card on the sidelines, Batty lowered his head and walked quickly to the sidelines. When the score changed from 2:0 to 3:0, it seemed that 2 to 3. This 3 was extremely special, which made the Argentine generals
Realize: The Swedish team was also scored 3 goals by England, but the Swedish team scored one goal!
So before the game, no one will be concerned about the goal difference. It will start to expand infinitely.
Yes, the Argentinian generals were full of arrogance before the game. They were ambitious to continue to teach England a lesson, just like the 1986 World Cup, just like the 1998 World Cup, when England fell into the abyss again after winning the first game.
Even if it's a draw or really loses the game.
No Argentinian would have thought that the score would become such a real and shocking three-goal difference!
This gap is pushing Argentina to the brink of death and knocking them off the World Cup stage!
When Batty quickly left the field, the noise seemed to subside and people looked at him. From the beginning of the game to this moment, Batty received the highest attention, attracting everyone's attention and making people realize that in the previous game
During the process, Batty had no sense of existence, as if he was invisible.
I have to admit that the thought that inevitably arises makes many people sigh.
The God of War is old.
The hero is dying, and sighs are everywhere.
The person who replaced Batty was Crespo. After Batty came off the field, he sat on the bench and watched the court expressionlessly, but his eyes were in a trance. Henry, who was sent off in South Korea yesterday, walked in the
The look back at that moment in the tunnel is very similar.
I’m not just attached to this stage.
There is also a touch of persistence in despair, a kind of piety asking God to make their wishes come true.
Barty, he has a date.
The time is June 30, and the location is Yokohama, Japan.
At this time, he already had an ominous premonition of breaking the promise.
God of War Barty and Wolf King Totti, meet in the World Cup final!
As for Henry, he also had a date. When he shook hands with Ronaldinho after the Champions League final, his heroic words were: See you again at the Yokohama International Stadium!
...
Argentina has used up three substitutions, and Bielsa has put all national hatred behind him at this moment. People must see reality clearly, and the job of a football coach cannot be unrealistic.
A big comeback?
If Bielsa still has this confidence, he is not called crazy, he is really crazy.
But he continued to ask Argentina to attack.
With his somewhat pale face and crazy eyes, what he is pursuing is no longer victory, that is simply wishful thinking. What he wants is just one goal, one goal, or two.
Before the final battle of life and death, Argentina cannot be ranked behind Sweden, absolutely not!
He finally came to his senses and played against Nigeria. The opponent was conservative and Argentina only scored one goal from a set kick to win.
When playing against England, the opponent's formation was also conservative, but now they were beaten three times.
If the Swedish team is really ranked ahead of Argentina before the last game starts, it goes without saying that the Swedish team will definitely deal with them conservatively.
What confidence does Bielsa have that Argentina's 3313 can break through the dense defense?
On the highest stage of the green world, without absolute creativity and high efficiency in breaking through intensive defense, don't have the dream of conquering the world with offensive football!
That's beautiful, but unrealistic.
At this moment, Bielsa no longer dares to turn his attention to Aldrich, who is not far away from him. Argentina pursues very high goals. In his concept, there are many offensive tricks, but England used two points to make Argentina unable to do anything. All designs
Everything turns into running water. The first point is space, and the second point is the number of defenders.
If we say that we encountered difficulties when playing against Nigeria, there were some troubles. When Batty scored with a header, people forgot about these and continued to have great expectations for 3313 offensive football.
So in this game against England, Bielsa's 3313 can be completely thrown into the trash can.
Offensive? The England team did not allow Argentina to even take a shot in the penalty area in the open game. The game lasted for an hour. There were only 5 shots in the open game, all of which were lucky long-range shots. Only one shot hit the goal range.
.
Is this offensive football? Where is the offensive? On the other hand, I was beaten by England's quick counterattack and cried out in despair. The game was not over yet, but the whole world knew that Aldridge and Bielsa's sideline fighting was a decisive victory.
The negative has been divided.
The madman was crushed by the young marshal!
Even if the situation were reversed, with England attacking wildly and Argentina counterattacking, I believe the score might be reversed, but no one would put a knife on Bielsa's neck and let him attack arrogantly. If you know yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle. If you can't even defeat your own team.
If you don't know how many pounds you have, then talking about conquering the world is ridiculous.
Before the World Cup, the lunatic's bold statement that runners-up would mean failure has now become a laughing stock. It has become the fodder for countless reporters to write articles and war reports to make matters worse.
runner up?
Not to mention whether we can reach the finals, whether we can qualify in the group stage may be up in the air!
Aimar Lopez, Crespo, Argentina's substitution in the second half did not bring immediate results.
Instead, in the 69th minute, the city gate almost fell again.
McManaman got the ball from the left side and made a fake move while dribbling the ball inside, seemingly trying to pass back to the center. This is what he has been doing before. If he does it more, it becomes a habit and it is easy.
Being predicted, this also affected the defensive team's prediction. Pochettino subconsciously moved his center of gravity in advance to block McManaman's passing route to the center. However, he saw McManaman quickly change his direction and spike the ball into the penalty area to speed up.
.
Easily breaking through Pochettino and heading directly into the center of the penalty area, Samuel stared at Irving while retreating. He didn't dare to cover the position. He really didn't dare. He believed that if he made a move, McMana would
Mann will definitely provide assists to Irving.
However, McManaman had a chance to shoot without passing the ball. The distance was very close and the angle was not bad. However, he used too much force and failed to grasp the angle well. He shot the ball on the side netting with a heavy shot.
At first glance, I thought I had entered.
The English fans in the stands let out a huge sigh, and then burst into warm applause. They did not criticize the poodle too much. In the game against Sweden and Argentina, McManaman undoubtedly performed well on the field in these two games.
As an English player, the fans will not have higher demands on him, because they are now leading 3:0.
McManaman was very upset. He wanted to score goals and leave his scoring mark on the World Cup stage. Unfortunately, he didn't know whether to say it was bad luck or intentional, but he was a little nervous.
In any case, England played another attack that sent shivers down Argentina's spine. They were only a hair's breadth away from scoring.
Simeone had already resigned himself to his fate at this time. He was one of the captains. Although he had mixed feelings and the most pain in his heart, he had to bow to reality.
Bielsa's tactical arrangements for this game not only failed to restrain England and break through the opponent's fortress, but also the opponent's targeted arrangements, techniques and tactics completely restrained Argentina.
If we continue playing like this, Simeone doesn't know whether Argentina will score a goal, but he will definitely concede another goal!
The reason why he was powerless also included that he was not recovering from his injury and was not in his best condition. He knew that he could not stop England's whirlwind play in the midfield.
If the ball is conceded again, from 3 to 4, Argentina will not only lose, but will be bloodbathed!
He took the initiative to communicate with Zanetti and Sorin, asking at least one of them to act as a full-back in defense to fill the cross-section gap of the back line and compress the space. At the same time, the other person should help defend the midfielder and act as a central midfielder.
The task of preventing time.
Although it seems vague to say this, Zanetti and Solin should be able to understand that this is a free adjustment and they will coordinate with each other as the situation changes.
Who plays the full-back? It's simple. Wherever McManaman is, play the full-back. Then the other person will naturally come to the center of the midfield to share Simeone's defensive pressure.
After Simeone directed his teammates to make adjustments, the Argentine team's defense finally looked balanced. The defense was complete without obvious gaps. Man-to-man marking was no longer one-on-one. There were teammates who could flexibly fill in and assist in defense.
In fact, this is the mainstream defensive model of the world's top teams. Strong offense and weak defense are also the situation of the overall football environment. Even the best defensive players in the world cannot achieve 100% success in one-on-one defense. They succeeded 9 times.
If you fail once, you may become a sinner.
Argentina's adjustment came in the 70th minute. Aldridge naturally noticed the change in Argentina's defensive posture. He turned around, walked towards the coaching bench, sat down, and looked calm.
