800. Challenge High Difficulty(1/2)

"The Argentine head coach Sang Pauli made a serious mistake in the layout of the lineup. The combination of Otamendi and Mascherano, the central defender, has no advantage in defending high-altitude balls. In addition to Chen Yingxiong, the Chinese team, there is also a player Li Qingshan, who is not inferior in heading ability, sitting on the bench..."

As a guest, Zhang Lu was puzzled by Argentina's starting lineup.

But He Wei answered most of his doubts:

"Perhaps we can understand Sanbaoli's difficulties. Although he was sitting on his bench with tall players such as Rojo and Fazio, Rojo suffered serious injuries last season and was in a difficult state to guarantee. Although Fazio is the main player of Roma and reached the Champions League semi-finals with the team, he is just a marginal figure at the national team level. He only started once in the World Cup, and his performance was only considered to be average. It is difficult for the head coach to trust his performance in such a key decisive battle..."

Just like the commentator's analysis, Sang Baoli does face many difficulties.

Everyone knows that Argentina's frontcourt offensive group is the world's number one luxury - of course, the legendary Chinese team must be ruled out.

Messi, Di Maria, Aguero, Higuain, Dybala, Pastore, Lamela...

As strong as the captain of Inter Milan, Icardi, who scored nearly 30 goals in a single season, can only hand Messi towels on the bench.

If Tevez hadn't been killed by himself and was turned away by the national team, if Ravic hadn't relaxed himself, causing his condition to decline... Argentina's offensive firepower would have only become even more terrifying!

But compared with the star-shining frontcourt, their backcourt problems are always ignored.

At least in the central defender position, Ma Ge is supported by Rojo, Otamendi, Fazio and others, but the positions of the two full-backs seem to be hard to remember what players can be trusted.

Whenever the Pampas Eagles are mentioned, most people will only talk about their luxurious front line, and few people can know their defenses well.

If Mascherano 4 years ago had to help Argentina enter the finals by fighting for the chrysanthemum cracking, then Ma Ge is already old and even spent money to spend money in the Chinese Super League. However, no teammate around him can let him withdraw from the main lineup with peace of mind...

In addition, the main midfielder Biglia, who was the runner-up of the World Cup four years ago, had to miss the World Cup due to a lumbar fracture, and Argentina's defense strength has declined to a higher level again.

Why is Argentina, which is full of wounded soldiers, fighting against the Chinese team with a full set of legendary players at the top of the world?

-

"It's so boring!"

When the Chinese team members returned to the locker room during the intermission, Chen Yingxiong couldn't help but complain:

"Those two defenders have no sense of existence. If your crosses can be more accurate, I can score at least ten in the first half!"

"Come on," Li Huan is not a guy with no temper. He snatched his feet. "Your ability to run without the ball is almost zero. I have passed you ten times, but you haven't run eight times. Instead of doing this, I might as well shoot myself with a long shot!"

Qin Gude on the other side also agreed:

"My long shot efficiency is much more reliable than your header efficiency!"

-

"It's so boring!"

The last Long Shute who returned to the locker room made the same complaints as his previous teammates.

The locker room, which was originally extremely lively, suddenly became cold and quiet.

Only Xiang Tao stood up:

"I want to beat this pretender up. Does anyone have any objection?"

"Please bring me with you!"

His defensive partner Wang Zhen raised his hand high.

Gao Xiaodong, who had been watching on the bench for 45 minutes, and Lu Wenbin rushed over:

"If you find it boring, you can go out and rest, Captain!"

"How can you do something like abuse? The captain needs to do it yourself!"

"It's enough to give us substitutes!"

-

"Shocked! The fifth son passed the exam in the first half and the rest in the second half! The Chinese captain humiliated Argentina wildly!"

This kind of thing didn't happen after all.

Long Shute, who scored five goals in the first half, thought for a long time in the locker room, and finally spoke:

"In 2017, I read an online novel called "Green Ghost Gunner". The protagonist in it once scored a difficult goal that shocked the past and the present in the semi-finals of the World Cup. This goal that is enough to be recorded in the history of football is also called "Flying Dragon in the Sky, the Dragon Waving Tail". I think that as the strongest star in football history, I must challenge it, otherwise I will be ashamed of my title of Long Ritian."

Qin Gude, who was sitting not far away, suddenly sneezes:

"Captain, how do you want to get in? Brothers, give you all your support!"

-

The 15-minute midfield advertising time seemed to be just a blink of an eye.

Anyway, CCTV's advertising department always feels that this period is too short...

"The players on both sides have returned to the court one after another, and the second half is about to begin, huh?"

He Wei, who returned to the live broadcast room, showed a look of surprise:

"Chinese captain Long Shute walked straight to the Argentina goal. What is his intention?"

Zhang Lu laughed:

"Hehe, is it because I hope the goal can bring him good luck and score more goals in the second half?"

He Wei rolled his eyes speechlessly:

"Zhang Zhi, you probably forgot that he had already scored five goals in the first half!"

-

Argentine goalkeeper Romero stared at the man's movements with a nervous look on his face.

In his eyes, this man who made him catch five consecutive balls from the net in 45 minutes is simply a demon!

Long Shute walked over mysteriously and stepped on the post of the goal.

As he continued to exert force, the goal obviously moved back for a distance, and the entire goal was shaking slightly.

"The novel is indeed a lie!"

Long Shute shook his head with regret:

"That author is simply a ball blind! Such a goal that cannot be fixed can't be stepped on!"

Seeing him shake his head repeatedly, Romero became even more nervous.

MD, I'm not satisfied with scoring five in the first half?

You kill me!

Even if you are the captain of Liverpool and I am the Manchester United goalkeeper, you don’t have to abuse me like this, right?!

-

The second half of the Chinese team started with a score of 7-1.

In addition to Chen Yingxiong's header and Long Shute's five blessings, Qin Gude also scored his own iconic long-range goal.

The huge advantage of six goals is enough to ensure that they re-start on the field with a relaxed and pleasant mood.

"Remember what I said just now. If conditions permit, try two passes like that."

Long Shute gave a message to his teammates who were good at passing the ball, such as Chu Zhongtian, Qin Gude, and Li Huan.

These teammates gave him thumbs up:

"Don't worry, 20 times are fine!"

-

"Maybe because the lead in the first half was too great, the Chinese team obviously relaxed in the second half. The offense during this period seemed rather casual, and several crosses flew high out of the goal..."

Even if he was not professional, He Wei quickly smelled a strange smell.

Zhang Lu, who was a professional goalkeeper, was even more confused:

"If such a mistake occurs two or three times, it is not surprising at all, but judging from the level of these players, such low-level mistakes may not be explained by the poor condition..."

-

“Too low!”

“Too fast!”

"Taiping!"

Long Shute shook his head.

His teammates were indeed very proud of their face, but they never passed the cross he wanted.

After all, it was an opportunity that was hard to come by. If there was a slight mistake, he would not be able to complete the final shot.

So he did not act rashly, but directed the center and frontcourt to slow down and patiently deal with the opponent.

Argentina, who is behind six goals, obviously has the only option to take a single bet. Leading by Messi, Aguero, Higuain, Di Maria, Dybala and Icardi are all out. Even the defender Rojo, who came on the bench, stayed in the Chinese team's penalty area for a long time and became a tall center forward...

With such a large-scale attack, once the opponent seizes the opportunity to fight back, it will be almost 100% of the goal conceded!

What everyone knows is that in this Argentina lineup, except for Messi who retreated, there is no absolute core of the organization, so their offense is often very chaotic.

Since Queen Meiqiu withdrew from the organization, Long Shute reluctantly took responsibility for defending him.
To be continued...
