Chapter 164 The Transcendence of a Genius

(Thank you for your monthly pass, I am very excited, with your support, even if it is updated every day!)

The first half ended with the tacit understanding of the two sides. After the referee blew the whistle, the mental outlook of the two teams was completely different.Argentina's stars are talking and laughing, joking with each other.However, the Mexican players frowned, and everyone seemed preoccupied.

In the aisle, Castillo was the first to rush into the locker room, not wanting to face Gago.Before the game, he said he looked down on him, but he was completely outmatched during the game. If he couldn't score in the second half, he would probably be ridiculed by the fans.

"Fair, Leo, you guys did a good job in the first half, continue in the second half."

After Basile came in, he first praised the two scorers, but Maradona praised Riquelme.

"Roman, you already have half of my skill. Those two assists in the first half were good. If you score a little more goals, you will be able to catch up to [-]% of my strength..."

Before Maradona finished speaking, his mouth was covered by Redondo and Caniggia who came in behind.The level of the Polo King's misleading children is superb. If I continue, I'm afraid Riquelme will soon turn into a lone ranger.Didn't you see Basile's complexion is not good?

"Prepare to defend at the beginning of the second half. Mexico must press on the offense. Phil, you can retreat properly to help the defense. We need fast players to counterattack. Diego, you come down and rest."

Milito nodded sadly after listening to Basile's arrangement. His speed is not fast and his strength is not enough, but he can only capture opportunities.Tevez's technical characteristics are more suitable for counterattack than him. Both he and Messi are fast forwards who can hold the ball, and they are more powerful for the tactics in the second half.

Milito knew that for the next time, he might have to sit on the bench and the next final would belong to the comeback Crespo.

"Okay, audience friends, let's continue to watch the semi-finals between Argentina and Mexico. In the first half, Argentina showed superior strength and completely suppressed Mexico on the scene. The progress of Gago and Messi The ball gave the Nerazzurri a two-goal lead, and we'll have to wait and see what Mexico will do in the second half, having been cornered."

"Castillo, who said before the game that Gago was inferior to him, has yet to score a goal. I really don't know what gave him the confidence to say that. Now Gago hits back with a goal, and What can he do?"

The Argentine commentators did not miss Castillo, who fired before the game, and taunted him.

On the contrary, the commentators in Mexico still have high hopes for Castillo.

"In the first half, Neri didn't have much chance under the close defense of the Argentine players, but the situation should improve in the second half. La Volpe will definitely find a way to stimulate the strength of this young teenager during the intermission. "

As expected, the Mexican players all flocked to Argentina's half at the beginning of the second half, blasting out all their physical energy, trying to get back a goal as soon as possible.Argentina, which had been prepared for a long time, was a little bit unstoppable for a while. After the intermission, the veterans' bodies cooled down a bit and they were not able to enter the state in time.

And Mexico took the opportunity to play several offensives, Mascherano had no choice but to put Castillo, and the kid almost resisted him and entered the penalty area.

A free kick very close to the penalty area, several tall Mexican defenders rushed over, ready to grab the set kick.

Arce stood in front of the ball, glanced at the crowds in the penalty area, and shot directly.However, his footwork is completely incomparable with Riquelme, the ball is higher than the crossbar.

It was Argentina's turn to attack. Gago received the ball in the backcourt and sent a long pass across the half court. Messi ran quickly with his short legs.Stopped the ball before the opponent's defender, and then swiped the last defender in the penalty area with a light turn.Facing the goalkeeper single-handedly, at this time, Castro, who had been passed, stretched out his foot and tripped him.

"Penalty!"

The Argentine fans in the stands shouted in unison, while the Mexican fans fought back not to be outdone.

"Fuck your penalty, that's a flop!"

……

Just when the fans on both sides were scolding vigorously, the referee came over and took out a yellow card, and gave it to Messi under the gaze of all the fans, and sentenced him to dive!
"Black whistle!"

"Do you want to die? Believe it or not, I will send you a bullet!"

"Don't let me see your family on the street!"

……

This penalty completely aroused the anger of Argentine fans, and some radical fans even began to threaten the referee's life.This area of ​​South America is what it is, a bit of a mess.

While the Argentine fans were angry, the Mexican fans were all smiles, thinking that the referee was just and wise.

"two!"

Basile on the sidelines raised two fingers at the referee, which meant that our two goals had been blown away.The replay of the camera also showed that Castro was indeed suspected of fouling.

At this time, the Argentine players on the field began to surround the referee, knowing that they were in the wrong, the referee did not draw any more cards, but only signaled them to disperse quickly.

"It's not right. Why do I feel that the referee is targeting us in this game? Even the yellow card that compensated Castillo shouldn't be to this extent."

Redondo on the coach's bench frowned and said to Caniggia.

"Probably because we don't want the game to be one-sided. You know, fans always want to see suspenseful games. Since the start of this tournament, we have been too strong. The Football Association should have thoughts on this."

Caniggia of the old Jianghu guessed it all at once.

"If I knew it earlier, I would save some energy in the group stage."

Redondo said helplessly, sometimes, being too strong is a problem.

"Don't worry, reaching this level is already the limit for the referee, and it is impossible for him to go out of line again."

……

After hearing the conjectures of Redondo and Caniggia, Basile came to the sidelines and called captain Ayala over, asking him to control the mood of the players.

Ayala ran from the backcourt to the frontcourt, pulled out the players surrounding the referee, and instructed them to play football according to their normal mentality.

However, this penalty really angered Argentina. Originally, they wanted to spare some strength to play against Brazil after taking the lead, but now they directly took out all their stored physical energy and fired at Mexico's goal.

Even Heinze and Zanetti in the backcourt began to plug in continuously. It is conceivable how angry the Argentine stars are.However, when the Blue and White Legion got angry, they pressed back Mexico, which they wanted to attack. The fierce artillery fire from the enemy made them shrink their heads and limbs tightly, which perfectly demonstrated how a tortoise is made.

But even so, Mexico still couldn't last 10 minutes.The insertion of Heinze and Zanetti has enriched Argentina's offensive methods in the frontcourt.As the core of the midfield, Riquelme perfectly organized the strength of these players and blasted open the tortoise shell of Mexico.

After a series of passes in the midfield, taking advantage of the messy opponent's defense, Inter Milan captain Zanetti transferred the ball into the penalty area with a timely cross.

Gago lightly picked the ball on the right side of the penalty area, then turned around and passed.

"This is?"

The commentator on the scene saw this somewhat familiar scene, and his eyes widened.

Mexico's captain, Marquez, thought about it with the commentator. He ran into the penalty area with a changed face, and then shoveled when Gago turned to stop the ball. He didn't care about this position even if it was a penalty kick.In La Liga's World War, he understood the core ability of the enemy, and it was basically impossible to hit the goal in this position.

But in the face of Marquez's shovel, Gago seemed to have expected it. He raised the ball again with a pad on his instep, avoided the Mexican captain's tackle, and then volleyed directly without waiting for the ball to land.

In this way of volleying, as long as you hit the correct part of the ball, you can easily hit the world wave even outside the penalty area, let alone in front of the goal.Sanchez only felt a gust of wind flying over his scalp, and before he could even reach out, the ball turned into a white light and flew into the goal.

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Fernando Gago, scored twice, scored twice in two consecutive games. As the Copa America came to the most intense end, the opponents he faced became stronger and stronger, but the prince of the Bernabéu played better and better. .It was a perfect display of his aura and skill."

"The first half of this goal was a dribble that completely copied Castillo's move over Maicon when he played against Brazil, but then faced the Mexican captain Marquez's flying tackle, Gago made another dribble. Then the volley full of power and beauty is beyond Castillo's genius imagination."

"Gago is using this goal to respond to Castillo, what you can do, I can do better than you!"

"Although this is cruel to Castillo, a young man, Gago is indeed better than him. The number of goals he was originally proud of was surpassed by Gago after this goal."

After the goal, Gago did not celebrate, but looked at the referee provocatively, as if saying that if you have the ability, you will blow this goal again.

Although the referee Morse was very displeased with Gago's eyes, he was very wise and did not make any further moves. He also saw that Mexico's strength is not at the same level as Argentina's. No matter how much he helps, it is impossible. Make a close game.It is basically impossible to create a tragic game like the last penalty shootout.

Point to the middle circle, indicating that the goal is valid!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Maradona, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, took off his only remaining vest, and rushed out of the coach's seat again with his upper body naked.

In an instant, the limelight of Gago who scored the goal was once again taken away by a short and fat pervert.

But Gago didn't care about this, because he swollen Castillo's face with this goal.For this reason, he even ran across halftime, came to his eyes and glided towards the fans in the stands!
The fans also cheered in time to welcome the prince who came before them.

Castillo clenched his fists tightly, but the bowed figure became the final background.

Leading by three goals, with less than 10 minutes left, Mexico can already book a flight home.
