Chapter 168

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"The goal was scored, oh no, the Brazilian team took the lead by one goal in less than 5 minutes!"

"Baptista, he smashed the Argentine goal with a thunderous kick from outside the penalty area. Abundan Cheri did not respond to this long shot!"

"Fuck!"

The moment they saw Baptista's goal, all the Argentine fans raised a neat row of middle fingers to Pele's position.However, Bei Crow didn't have any embarrassment about this. He explained the goal for the fans calmly, and at the same time he didn't forget to continue to play against Argentina.

"Baptista, he scored the goal and opened the scoring for the Selecao. After receiving the ball from outside the penalty area, he took the ball away from Mascherano and Cambiasso with his beastly body. The heavy artillery blasted the world wave. He is the "Brazilian Gerrard", three knockout games, scoring goals every game. Of course, although the Brazilian team is ahead, the overall strength is still in the lead with Argentina, and there are still 85 minutes left. Minutes, the Pampas stars have enough time to reverse, I am still optimistic about them winning the championship."

But another commentator on Brazilian TV kept praising Baptista.

"Perhaps because too much time has passed, when people are saying that Drogba's violent aesthetics is entering the mainstream world of football, they seem to have forgotten that three seasons ago, another 'beast' ravaged La Liga, relying on strong With his physicality and unreasonable style, 38 league goals in two seasons, this man is Baptista. But the lost beast is back, when his country needs him most. Opening 4 minutes , he pierced the Argentine gate with a powerful long-range shot and opened the door to victory for Brazil."

The commentator of the Argentine TV station didn't know what to say at this time, and the veins on Maradona's forehead burst out, and he was holding back his anger.Colleagues are friends, and the only two champions, Pele and Maradona, are naturally big friends.Originally, Maradona thought that his "lucky dribble king's arrogance" would be able to restrain Bei Crow's "unlucky dribble king's bad spirit", but who knew that Argentina was still shot.

Lao Ma didn't want to admit that his skill was not as good as Bei Crow's. He thought it was because he didn't take it seriously, so after Brazil scored a goal, he picked up the microphone and yelled loudly.

"Pampas, we must win!"

At this time, he can only do this to arouse the confidence of the fans. As he expected, when he heard him, the number one Argentine fan, cheering, the fans who were originally frustrated by losing the ball began to shout their loudest. , to cheer for the players off the court.

Gago in the frontcourt didn't know what was going on, why did Brazil score a goal without knowing it.Of course he didn't know that Pele sat directly in the stands and played against Argentina to ruin their luck, but Baptista's goal really can't be blamed on Argentina's defense.

The "beast" outside the penalty area, under the interference of Xiao Ma and Cambiasso, insisted on using his strong body to stand in position, and then drew the ball to the correct part, directly blasting out a shocking blow world wave.This kick went straight to the dead corner of the upper right corner of the goal. Even if some goalkeepers came to save this goal, they could only be sure of three or four points.

In this way, relying on Baptista's explosive kick, the Brazilian team unexpectedly took the lead.

Dunga on the sidelines was still worried about his own goal, but in a blink of an eye he found that his side had scored a goal, and he hadn't realized the huge gap.When the assistant coach rushed over to celebrate, he excitedly ran half a circle around the stands.

"The form was unfavorable to Argentina in an instant, but fortunately we still have nearly a full game to equalize or even reverse the score."

The opposite of Dunga's mood is Basile. Originally, he was still sitting leisurely on the coach's bench, chatting and laughing with Redondo Caniggia, but when he turned his head, he found that he had lost the ball, and his face suddenly changed. It's dark.

"Don't worry, with our offense, we can easily get a ball back."

At this time, it was Redondo, the assistant coach, who comforted him. Basile thought about it and agreed. He definitely couldn't make a substitution at this time, but he still asked the players on the bench to warm up, expressing that he was very uncomfortable in this way. satisfy.

Sure enough, seeing Milito and Tevez warming up on the sidelines, Crespo and Messi became anxious.The two began to use their skills and running positions to constantly attack the Brazilian team's defense.

In the 8th minute, Messi broke through quickly and hit the left rib of the penalty area. He made a pass near the bottom line. Gago predicted the landing point and flew the header to the middle.This series of cooperation has completely torn the Brazilian team's defense, but this inevitable shot was blocked by the post again.

"Hey!"

The Argentine fans in the stands collectively sighed, God is on Brazil's side today.No, to be precise, Argentina was cursed by a crow, and two consecutive shots were blocked by the post.

But this shot scared Dunga again. If the score was equalized just after scoring, he could consider buying a lottery ticket.Seeing Argentina's offensive so fierce, Dunga made a gesture to Baptista on the field.After the outstanding performance in the America's Cup, this atypical Brazilian player who relies on his body to play football has become the number one pawn under Dunga.As soon as he saw him make a recovery gesture, he immediately clicked and trotted back from the frontcourt to the backcourt, and the Brazilian team immediately changed into three midfielders.

It has to be said that Baptista, whose style is close to Europe, has a toughness that other Brazilian players do not have. He was born as a midfielder, and then he became famous as a midfielder in Seville.In Dunga's current tactics, the fierce pressing skills he practiced in the European arena have come into play at this time.

Riquelme made a gorgeous turn past Mineiro who was defending him, and was just about to dribble the ball to continue to break through. Baptista, who returned to the defense, shot out from a diagonal, and put the core of the Argentine midfielder hard.

The referee blew the whistle in time, but did not give a card, only a free kick.

At this time, several tall Argentine defenders rushed up from the backcourt. At this time, it was necessary to use a magic weapon.

Argentina's free kick tactics to all opponents a headache, but Dunga has long been prepared for this.Riquelme's free kick was blocked by the tall Baptista.

"This product is on the market today!"

Gago looked at Baptista, who was standing in front of the penalty area, and wiped the sweat off his brow with a heavy breath.He felt extremely tired in today's game. The America's Cup schedule can be said to be intensive, with an average of one game every three days. In addition, the strength of the Brazilian team is not comparable to those in the group stage. It is necessary to use all Only the mind can find opportunities.

After only 10 minutes, Gago felt a little exhausted.

"No, you can't continue to attack like this. You must stabilize the rhythm. Otherwise, if you haven't scored, you might be hit back by your opponent because of lack of energy."

Gago told Riquelme his thoughts during a throw-in.It is never possible to attack continuously for nine or 10 minutes in a game. There must be relaxation and reasonable distribution of physical energy. As a midfielder, Riquelme naturally understands this.But just now, he had a feeling in his heart that as long as he worked harder, he could break through the opponent's goal, which made him control the team to bombard the opponent's goal without stopping.

"I almost fell into the other party's trap, Phil, I know."

After being awakened by Gago, Riquelme began to slow down the pace. He was originally a slow player, but this time he was more in tune with him.

However, Dunga, who was on the sidelines, shook his head regretfully when he saw this scene. If Argentina continued to attack like this, he was sure to use his body to kill them in the second half.

I have to say that Dunga's transformation of the Brazilian team has been very successful, especially in terms of defense.Since the day he took office, he has held high the banner of "Europeanization" and pragmatism, but he has always kept it secret under the pressure of the media.The abandonment of the typical Brazilian No. 10 player representing Diego and the reuse of Baptista, who is famous in Europe and has the most European style in the entire Brazilian team, means that Dunga finally tore off the mask of catering to the media and fans, and completed The final and most important step in Europeanization.

The disastrous defeat in the first game of the group stage was the reason why Dunga made up his mind to make a complete transformation. He knew that only by taking this step can he cast the perfect Brazil in his mind.

Defense in Europe, offense in South America!
In Dunga's transformation, Baptista is not the only player who has achieved the main position, but he is the most important one.Born as a midfielder, famous as a midfielder, and even a guest striker, Baptista has excellent qualities in both offense and defense, and his strong body also allows him to rampage in the generally soft defense in South America.

Thirteen minutes into the first half, the invincible Argentina in this competition has not scored a goal because Baptista did not hesitate to run and foul in the midfield.His tough style has always been a headache for the soft Argentinian midfielder. So far he has fouled Gago and Riquelme twice each, but it is also his decisive foul that makes Brazil's goal So far, I still try my best to keep it.

What Gago hates the most is his unreasonable style.No matter how good your skills are, what can you do if the opponent hits you all at once, and this time, the Paraguayan referee Carlos Amalia seems to be very reluctant to draw a card, and he hasn't given a yellow card yet.

For this referee, the mood of the Argentine media can be said to be very complicated.

Four years ago, Amalia was officiating in the Copa America final, when Argentina and Brazil drew 90-2 within 2 minutes, and Brazil won 4-2 on penalties.

It stands to reason that the media in Argentina should hate him.

However, the situation is quite the opposite. The Argentine media had a good impression of this referee, because except for the Copa America final, Argentina remained unbeaten in Amalia's law enforcement games.

Before the game, when the news that the South American Football Confederation selected Carlos Amalia as the referee of the final again came out, the Argentine side once applauded. Hobbies, such as their arrangements for the World Cup qualifiers are often repeated. This time, Carlos Amalia was arranged to be the referee of the final. The South American Football Federation obviously hopes to replicate all the scenes three years ago, so that Argentina and Another spectacular duel in Brazil. For Argentina, this is the best and most perfect opportunity for revenge."

But at this moment, all the Argentine fans are secretly cursing the black whistle in their hearts. Our Gago has been pushed down several times, why hasn't he given the card!
