The Minero Arena.

Argentina's offensive and defensive drills were almost half-court, but the delay in gaining momentum and not scoring revealed their shortcomings in offensive creativity.

Argentine football itself has been influenced and ripped by two major schools in the past few decades. Menotti tends to be free and unrestrained, and talented players can often shine in it. Bilardoism attaches importance to discipline and pragmatism and uses everything to win.

Both of these two schools have brought glory to Argentina, which has led to Argentina always rotating between the two schools. For example, the Argentina played in 2006 very positive, unrestrained, and wonderful. She once scored the best team goal in Germany, but after experiencing a failure in 2010, Argentina has now turned to Bilardoism due to the disadvantage of defense.

Just like Argentina once had tactical designs around Maradona, other players served Maradona.

But the situation is a bit complicated when applied to today's Argentina team.

There are too many excellent strikers and the midfield talent is obviously out of reach. Even if they want to fully activate Messi, there is no matching player, which has led to the team's tactical system being quite deformed.

If the Chinese team was not really weak and the soft persimmons that were squeezing in the eyes of Argentina, then Argentina would not dare to rashly accumulate forward attackers in the frontcourt.

As Argentina continued to attack, the Chinese team's counterattack continued to stage.

The Chinese team's game task is very simple, defense, and after successful defense, pass the ball to Tang Hong or Wu Lei.

Wu Lei's threat of advancement is still enough to attract the attention of Argentina's defense line, which will give Tang Hong better space when responding.

Argentina is also very straightforward. It never drags on defense and makes a foul when it cannot be prevented.

Tang Hong and Messi are the players on the court who are most frequently fouled by the opponent's team's defensive fouls.

When the game came to the 39th minute, Tang Hong received a long pass from Luo Hongkai from the left side of the frontcourt. When Fernandez rushed towards him, Tang Hong suddenly pivoted the ball and changed direction to cut across the front of the penalty area.

Fernandez didn't even have time to make a foul, and Tang Hong dribbled past him!

Compared to Messi's space for breakthroughs facing the intensive defense of the Chinese team, Tang Hong has a broad space to exert his personal speed and technical strength in the counterattack, but this is completely a single-soldier battle!

When Tang Hong led his hand into the middle lane, Mascherano rushed from the side and back to the pressing point and kicked Tang Hong to the ground.

Tang Hong fell to the ground and punched the turf with a little annoyed.

If he can dodge Mascherano's foul faster, then he dribbles into the penalty area and faces his opponent Gare, who once passed in Portugal, with confidence, to form a threatening shot!

Unfortunately, Mascherano did not get him to what he wanted.

After standing up, he calmed down and adjusted his mentality. Tang Hong took the penalty and took the free kick directly. There were only three players from the Chinese team in the frontcourt. Wu Lei was preparing to respond in the penalty area, and Luo Hongkai was in the middle of the penalty area as a response point.

This free kick is in a very good position, and Argentina looks nervous after setting up a wall of men.

Those Argentine players who have ever played against Tang Hong on the court know that Tang Hong’s footwork is comparable to Messi!

Is this a free kick?

No, in a sense, it is a penalty kick for Tang Hong and Messi, as long as the angle and position distance are appropriate!

After the referee blew the whistle, everyone was watching. Tang Hong ran up and shot the ball with his right foot. His shot was clean and neat, and the football flew forward?

Falling rapidly after crossing above the head of a human wall?

Unlike the previous inner arc, this time Tang Hong's shooting was a parabola that just crossed the top of the human wall!

The football fell behind the wall and hung directly on the upper left corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Romero did not save at all?

The angle of the human wall blocking was broken through?

The goalkeeper can do nothing!

The Minero Arena burst into a trembling cheer!

Chinese fans were very excited!

Tang Hong also roared passionately and rushed to the sidelines, crazily pulling the hem of his jersey vibrated up and down repeatedly!

Are the Argentine generals looking serious?

Unbelievable?

No, since it was Tang Hong who scored?

What's unexpected?

It’s just that the game situation has become a bit difficult for them!

"Tang Hong scored directly with a free kick! The Chinese team led Argentina!

Flawless leaf-falling balls!

We were worried about the Chinese team's defense throughout the first half?

I was afraid that Argentina's next attack would turn into a goal.

But we never expected that the Chinese team would score the first goal under such an extremely passive situation!

This is the power of a superstar!

Tang Hong made a foul in the counterattack, and then took the penalty and shot a perfect fallen leaf ball to score!

Before the game, some media questioned whether Van der Hill's Chinese team was overly dependent on Tang Hong.

I think this question may be reasonable in front of world-class teams, but there is no need to think about the Chinese team.

What if we don’t rely on Tang Hong?

What do we rely on?

Tang Hong took charge of the two goals of the Chinese team in the World Cup?

If this goal today can bring 3 points to the Chinese team, then the Chinese team will have great hope of advancing to the top 16 of the World Cup!

Now we can proudly inform fans of the game, and the Chinese team leads Argentina 1:0!"

All the Chinese team players rushed to Tang Hong with ecstasy and celebrated wildly!

Tang Hong once again made the entire Chinese football world boil!

After Argentina kicked off, the Chinese team continued to retreat to defend.

Before the end of the first half, Aguero's header in the penalty area was too straight and was confiscated by Zeng Cheng.

At the end of the half game, the two teams returned to the locker room for a short rest.

Van der Hill boosted the morale of the whole team during the halftime break, and then he started to get rid of the blood?

Let the team not relax in the second half!

The two teams changed sides and fought again in the second half.

Argentina accelerated the pace of the game, and the Chinese team actually had more counterattack opportunities than in the first half.

But Argentina's midfielders used decisive fouls to kill the Chinese team's counterattack.

Because the propulsion distance is too long?

It is difficult for Tang Hong and Wu Lei to avoid contact with their opponents before entering range, so although the counterattack is very threatening?

There is no chance to beat the ball.

Gago, Mascherano?

Sabaleta?

Fernandez dyed yellow one after another.

Argentina's offense also made Chinese defensive players constantly grab cards.

Wu Xi and Sun Xiang are too much due to defensive restrictions on Messi?

There are also special pulling and thus they have successively won the cards.

Zhao Xuzhe also received a yellow card when defending Aguero.

Zhao Hanchun knocked Di Maria out of the sideline in the 71st minute of the game, which made the Argentine player angry.

The referee also showed Zhao Hanchun a yellow card.

Argentina could not conquer for a long time, and Van der Hill decisively substituted the players.

Zheng Zhi appeared and replaced Wu Lei.

The Chinese team further strengthened its defense.

Zheng Zhi received a yellow card for making a tackle against Messi within 3 minutes of his appearance.

In the 76th minute of the game, Tang Hong came to the frontcourt to receive the ball from the right to pass Roho, but the latter directly grabbed the jersey from behind and was warned by the referee.

The second half of the game was undoubtedly ugly.

Both teams are constantly fouling, and the continuity of the game is very poor.

When Dailin received a yellow card for a foul on Higuain in the penalty area, Van der Hill had to replace him with Feng Xiaoting to avoid the loss of combat personnel at the last moment.

Dai Lin was also suspended for the next round of accumulating yellow cards.

By the last 85 minutes of the game, it was already difficult for the Chinese team to organize a counterattack attack, because the formation was extremely delayed, and Tang Hong harassed defensively behind the middle circle.

Argentina only left Gare and Mascherano to mark him, and other players assisted to the frontcourt to attack wildly!

Even if there is not much time left for the game, the Chinese live commentator dared not say, "There is not much time left for Argentina!"
