Chapter 609 A wonderful offensive and defensive battle
Del Bosque told his disciples not to underestimate any opponent, let alone the Argentina team with Messi.
After a fifteen-minute intermission, the players from both sides walked out of the locker room again and entered the court.
What greeted them was cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
A huge poster of Li Chuanqi is surging in the wind.
Costa once again showed longing in his eyes when passing the Hercules Cup.
In the live broadcast booth, major TV stations became active again.
"Fans! This is the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro! The second half of this World Cup final is about to begin!"
"Spain scored two goals in the first half and took a 2-0 lead!"
"With no way out, how will the Argentine team perform in the second half?"
"Can Messi break out in the second half? This is the key to Argentina's reversal!"
"In the first half, Spain demonstrated its characteristics to the fullest, with an astonishing 78% ball possession rate, while Argentina only had 22%!"
"Argentina completely gave up possession, but their counterattack didn't come through."
"Two goals behind, Argentina can only attack!"
"There is still half a game left for Argentina!"
"In the peak battle, Li has fully blossomed, and Messi is still looking for opportunities!"
"I hope both sides can give us wonderful goals in the second half!"
“Neither side has made personnel adjustments!”
As players from both sides entered the field, Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã Stadium woke up like a sleeping beast.
Huge cheers and shouts shook the sky.
"Beep!..."
As the referee blew his whistle, the second half of the decisive battle began.
Costa moved the football to the backcourt, and the Argentine midfielder began to press fiercely.
However, Spain, which has developed its pass-and-control style to the extreme, did not give Argentina any chance at all. Several times it seemed that dangers were looming, but Spanish players used tacit understanding and skillful passing to resolve them one by one.
Argentina had to use fouls to interrupt Spain's flowing passing.
"Shh!..."
Argentinian fans booed Spain loudly. Damn it, how could you do this?
The Spanish players were not disturbed by the boos from the Argentinian fans and still dropped the ball in the midfield.
"Shh!..."
The boos from the Argentinian fans grew louder and louder.
The commentator of Spanish National TV said loudly: "Spain has chosen the correct way of playing. When leading 2-0, it should firmly control the football at its feet!"
Commentator Raul nodded and said: "This is the best way to spend time!"
The Sky Sports commentator lamented: "With a 2-0 lead, the experienced Spain played pass and control. Argentina had no way to steal the football from their feet!"
In the ninth minute of the second half, after Alonso got the ball near the center circle, he suddenly made a long pass and the football flew towards Li Chuanqi!
Luo Huo hurriedly moved towards Li Chuanqi coming out of the sideline, trying to interfere.
Li Chuanqi unexpectedly did not stop the ball, but jumped up and pushed the football towards Costa.
Costa leaned on Demichelis, raised his chest to remove the football, and then knocked the football back to Busquets who stepped forward to meet him!
At this moment, Li Chuanqi and Iniesta quickly moved forward from the two wings.
The difference is that Li Chuanqi advanced towards the penalty area, while Iniesta advanced from the wing.
"Pa!..."
Busquets chose to pass the ball to Iniesta.
After Iniesta got the ball, he got rid of Zabaleta's defense with two consecutive spikes, and then quickly made a pass!
The football drew a wonderful arc in the air and flew towards the back point!
Li Chuanqi jumped high and beat Garay with a fierce header!
The football flies towards the goal!
No way...
The faces of the Argentinian fans turned pale. Damn it, no way...
There was a surprise in the eyes of Spanish fans. Could it be possible to score a goal in the first attack of the second half?!
If this goal is scored, it will be three to zero!
In the World Cup, no one has ever scored three goals in a row when trailing 3-0!
The hearts of Spanish fans began to beat faster!
Damn it!
Argentina coach Sabilia's face was extremely gloomy.
Li Chuanqi's header made the atmosphere in the stadium lively again.
Countless people craned their necks to look at Argentina's penalty area.
Romero instinctively stretched out his hands and flew towards his upper right!
In a flash of lightning, Romero blocked the football with his right hand!
Before the football even hit the ground, Demichelis followed up with his big kick to make a clearance and kicked the football out of the sideline, finally resolving the crisis in front of the goal!
"coax!……"
There were huge sounds of regret and cheers at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, followed by thunderous applause.
"Romero!"
The commentator of Argentina's national television shouted excitedly: "Romero once again showed his magic and blocked Lee's header! This is a world-class parry. He is the last and most trustworthy person in Argentina's defense!"
What Romero defended was not just a header, he defended Argentina's hope!"
The commentator of Spanish National TV said loudly: "This was a wonderful offensive and defensive battle. Lee completed a wonderful header and Romero made a wonderful save!"
Commentator Raul said: "Spain's sudden change of pace has once again worked wonders! Spain must continue to play at this pace!"
The commentator of Milan Sports Station exclaimed: "Romero made a magical save and blocked Li's ambition to score a hat trick!"
The commentator of France 2 said loudly: "With a foot injury, Li scored with a header, and now he has shown us his header skills again!
Argentina’s defense still has no way to restrict him!”
The game restarted, Spain retreated to its own half, and Argentina once again launched a difficult positional battle.
In the fourteenth minute of the second half, Messi made an overhead pass from the corner of the penalty area. Juanfran beat Higuain to push the ball out of the penalty area.
After Biglia got the ball outside the penalty area, he raised his right foot and shot!
The football was saved from the bottom line by Reina!
Argentina got the chance to attack continuously.
Messi took the corner kick into the penalty area, and Ramos pushed the football out of the penalty area.
Mascherano, who was ambushing outside the penalty area, raised his right foot and fired a heavy shot!
The football hit Busquets' legs and flew out of the baseline!
Argentina gets another corner kick.
Messi took a tactical corner kick. After regaining the ball, Messi continuously dodged two Spanish defenders and fired a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area!
Football is played on the side netting!
The commentator on Argentina's national television said excitedly: "Argentina's morale is up! They have consecutive offensive opportunities!"
The Spanish national television commentator shouted: "The test of Spain's defense is coming!"
Japan's NHK commentator said: "After falling behind 0-2, Argentina stepped up its attack and formed continuous shots! The game will become more and more exciting! This is the final we want to watch!"
