Chapter 162 Dream Start
(Thank you for the monthly tickets for me and Captain Gray Eagle, and jiangXN for the tip)
"The game is starting, audience friends. Andy Gray and Richard Coyce from Sky TV will bring you the report. First, let's take a look at the rosters of both sides..."

"Mexico kicked off first, and their momentum is very fierce. It seems that they want to fight against Argentina. The teenager Castillo rushed to Argentina's half at once. It seems that he is very active."

"Oh, Castillo has the ball in the frontcourt, and Mascherano is in front of him, what will the two players who sparked before the game do?"

What else can I do, Brother Xiao Ma directly puts Castillo on him when he is playing tricks and preparing to pass.

The referee blew his whistle, but instead of drawing a card, he just gave a free kick far away from the goal.

"Boy, you'd better walk around me, or you will get hurt."

Brother Xiaoma rarely showed aggressiveness, and said to Castillo who was lying on the lawn with his head down.

However, Castillo didn't show any fear on his face. He was young and strong and hadn't suffered any serious injuries since he became a professional player.

Mexico's free kick was given into the penalty area, but was pushed out by Ayala. Cambiasso appeared on the spot of the ball, stopped the ball and turned around to show the demeanor of the 5th position.

When Cambiasso dribbled forward and was about to drive straight in, the Mexican midfielder began to block.Cambiasso did not stick the ball, and transferred the ball to the left in time, where Gago was already in place.

Mexico's captain and main midfielder Marquez's task this time is to defend Argentina's core Riquelme, so Gago has to face Correa, a little-known player.

When the two met for the first time, Gago didn't pay much attention to him. So far in the America's Cup, he hasn't met a player who can guard him one-on-one, even if he uses his left foot.

But this time, Gago made a mistake. He stopped the ball with his chest and turned to the right as usual. After feeling the opponent's center of gravity shifted, he pulled the ball back and broke through to the left and walked to the wing.

At this moment, Jiago's strong anticipation made him feel bad. He looked down and saw that the opponent stretched out his right foot to block him under the condition of unstable center of gravity.If he didn't lower his head and insist on breaking through, he might be tripped, and even if he jumped up, the ball would be broken.

At the critical moment, Gago's body's flexibility and control were vividly displayed. He stopped forcibly and picked the ball at the same time.And just when he was about to pass, Correa had adjusted his center of gravity again to stop him.

The ball is extraordinary!
"It shouldn't be underestimated. After all, it's the semi-finals, and the gold content is no worse than the European Cup."

After this fight, Gago realized that the strength of the opponent in front of him was no worse than the main midfielders of some teams in La Liga.

However, Argentina's attack was not cut off by Gago. Messi came over in time to receive Gago's ball, and then dribbled the ball towards the opponent's hinterland.

He has only scored two goals in the Copa America, one less than Gago, which makes Messi, who thinks he is no worse than Gago, very concerned.He decided to show his true strength in this game, so he was very excited at the beginning.Facing the defensive player, he made two emergency stops and changed directions, first cutting outside, then cutting inside, dodging the gap and hitting the goal directly.

It's a pity that the ball was shot in high-speed movement with the ball, and it failed to fully grasp the ball path and missed the post.

"The two sides were not polite at all. They used all their strength to attack at the beginning. If Messi's shot hit the goal frame, I'm afraid it would have been there."

Basile on the sidelines glanced at Mexico's head coach Lavolpe and thought with disdain.

"You're not out of your mind, you dare to confront me, don't you know how to write the word 'death'?"

Thinking of this, Basile made a gesture to Riquelme on the field.

"Oh, during this period of time, Argentina's offense has gradually increased, and Marquez can't hold on facing Riquelme alone."

Although Marquez is the captain of Mexico, he is only a substitute in Barcelona.In the eyes of Riquelme, a midfielder, he can only be said to be a decent midfielder. If you want to stop him, multiplying by two is almost the same.

No, a dazzling crotch, Riquelme flashed past Marquez and began to dribble towards the penalty area.However, although Marquis is not top-notch in strength, his years of professional career have given him a wealth of experience.At this time, he decisively pushed Riquelme from behind.

"Oh, Marquez's foul was very decisive. If it was later, Riquelme would be close to the top of the penalty area. At that time, whether it is a direct long-range shot or a split goal, there will be a great threat."

The referee came over and gave a free kick, but still didn't draw the card. The bottom line that Brother Ma tested was used by Marquez.

However, Argentina's free kick still made the Mexican players nervous. At this time, they remembered that Riquelme's free kick in this position has a high hit rate, and the Blue and Whites have a variety of free kick tactics. Before the game, the head coach especially emphasized that it is absolutely not possible to give a free kick in a good position.

Marquez's foul was mixed in the eyes of professional commentators.

"Let's see what Riquelme will do, whether he shoots himself or plays tactically."

Argentina didn't hide anything about this goal. It just told Mexico that Riquelme would take the penalty. At the same time, a wall was formed. Gago was squeezed in the middle, and Correa was next to him, secretly pulling his jersey.

Under the watchful eyes of the Argentine fans, Riquelme made a run-up shot, and the ball came in the direction of Gago.Correa next to him wanted to jump up and push the ball out, but at this time the situation was reversed, and Gago grabbed his jersey in retaliation to prevent him from jumping too high.

The ball barely passed over Correa's head, and then fell quickly. At this time, Gago quickly turned around and let Correa go, kicked off the ground and pushed the ball towards the goal with his smooth forehead.

Gago observed the goalkeeper's position when the ball hit the ball, and made a gesture to hit the middle, and then hit the far corner with his forehead.

The Mexican goalkeeper has nothing to do with the ball. As long as this kind of close-range header is not aimed at the goalkeeper, it is basically guaranteed.

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"In the opening 8 minutes, Gago opened the scoring for Argentina!"

"Beautiful free-kick cooperation, Argentina's magic weapon to win again!"

"Riquelme's ball completely cheated the Mexican wall, and Gago's running position was also very clever. The Mexican players around him just jumped up and couldn't defend him. The Bernabéu prince used a header that he was not good at. Scored the fourth goal of this tournament and the first header of his career."

After scoring the goal, Gago quickly got up from the lawn. After pushing the ball out, his body fell uncontrollably in front of the goal.Messi, who originally wanted to overwhelm Gago, let him escape one step too late. Gago ran to the sidelines and slid towards the cheering fans.

Riquelme rushed over at this time, pushed him from behind, and then ravaged his long hair that was originally thin and neat.

"Good boy, I didn't waste the assists I gave you."

"That's right, don't even look at who I am."

Gago replied arrogantly, and was overwhelmed by the other people who rushed over.

Watching Argentina's frenzied celebration, Castillo clenched his hands tightly, and the camera on the court specially gave him a close-up, so that the fans could see the expression of this Mexican teenager who looked down on Gago.

Unwilling and helpless.

He originally told the media that he looked down on Gago because he scored one more goal than Gago, but now with this goal the gap between the two sides has been smoothed out.In addition, Gago played in the midfield and scored the same number of goals as he played as a striker. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the gap between the two.What's more, in terms of statistics, Gago has more assists than him.

In order not to be let down by Gagoby, and not to make himself a joke, Castillo participated in the game even more after the game started.

I have to say that although this kid is arrogant, he really has two brushes. He used his teammates to pass Mascherano, and then quickly dribbled the ball towards the Argentine goal.But Ayala, the captain of the Nerazzurri, let him know that the elderly are not so easy to bully, a covert stretch of foot outside the penalty area tripped the fast-dribbling Castillo.

The referee said nothing and the game continued.

This made the Mexican players very dissatisfied, especially Castillo, who got up and yelled at the referee.

"Did you fucking collect the money, didn't you see that old guy fouled!"

This sentence directly caused the referee and Ayala to turn black, and the referee put his hand into his pocket and decisively gave a yellow card in retaliation.

"Yellow card, the referee actually gave Castillo a yellow card, the first yellow card of this game was actually given to the forward?"

"Looking at the replay of the camera, Ayala is indeed suspected of a foul, but the referee did not make a judgment. Castillo expressed his dissatisfaction, and his tone to the referee was very bad. He probably said something unpleasant, which made the referee very upset Be angry."

"If it's like this, Mexico will suffer a lot. I'm afraid La Volpe's mood is not very good."

The commentator of Sky TV is right, Lavolpe's mood off the court can be said to be extremely bad.Thousands of reminders, let them not give Argentina a chance to take a free kick. Who knows that the most stable captain Marquez directly "assisted" and allowed the opponent to score a goal in less than 10 minutes.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the opponent's goal to tie the score carelessly, but who knew that Castillo, who he valued the most, had full NC aura in this game, and he directly went to the referee.

"Even if you're fucking Zidane, a fight with the referee is the consequence of the end, what can you do!"

At this moment, Lavolpe thought of replacing Castillo. To be honest, as the kid's reputation grew, his arrogant temper began to show, and he was not as respectful and obedient to him as before.If this continues, sooner or later he will become a ball bully, which will not be a good consequence for the national team.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't do this. If he breaks with Castillo now, the team's combat effectiveness will drop sharply. For Argentina, a strong enemy, this is not a wise approach.
