Just when the Argentine fans were dissatisfied with the referee Amalia, he finally showed a yellow card to Brazil.But it's not for Baptista who has been fouling, but for defender Maicon.

Seeing that the frontcourt was unable to score for a long time, the two full-backs also began to attack. Facing the young and strong Maicon, Zanetti showed his seasoned experience and made a bottom-to-bottom after receiving the ball. posture.Then he dunked the ball and cut inward towards the middle. In this game, he played as a left back, which was suitable for hitting the goal after cutting inward.

However, Maicon is the best right back in the world who can squeeze Zanetti to the left back in the next few years. Although he was taken a step away, he still arrived before Zanetti was about to shoot. The captain even kicked the ball.

Amalia came over and gave Maicon a yellow card, and he didn't argue, instead, he helped Zanetti who was knocked down by him very friendly.After all, he is the captain of Inter Milan and is now an opponent, but he has been a teammate for most of his career.

Zanetti didn't refuse either. After getting up, the two had a friendly chat.

Riquelme continued to take free kicks, this time without further tactical cooperation, he directly kicked and shot, which was higher than the crossbar.

However, Argentina didn't care. They were confident that with their attack power, they could definitely break Brazil's goal.Holding such a belief, Gago, Riquelme, and Messi kept attacking each other's defense.With the addition of Crespo, the killer in the penalty area, Brazil's goal is once again in danger.

Under the pressure of Argentina, most of Brazil's players returned to defense. This atypical Brazilian defense was better than offense.After Dunga's disastrous defeat in the first game, he was shameless and used defensive counterattacks all the way to the final. Now, this tactic has become the instinct of this Brazilian team.

Robinho was cruising alone in the frontcourt, and the others blocked Argentina's shots in the backcourt with an eye-catching heroic spirit.

Gago pulled and buckled his left foot out of the way of Baptista who had been interfering with him, and then kicked and shot.But the moment he hit the ball, he felt a strong impact from the side of his body, which made him miss the kick.However, Gago was not easy to mess with, he immediately fell to the ground following Baptista's impact, and turned around on the lawn twice in pain.

"beep!"

The referee saw Gago in such pain and hurried over. At this time, the Argentine fans in the stands booed and condemned Baptista, a reckless man who destroyed artistic football.

And Basile also came out from the coach's bench and kept putting pressure on the referee. He angrily stretched out five fingers, indicating that Baptista had committed five such fouls.

At this time, Amalia considered that Gago was really pitiful and was pushed every time, so she reluctantly took out the yellow card from her pocket for the second time and gave it to the fouled Baptista. .

Dunga was very dissatisfied with the penalty. He thought that Gago was a flop, just a collision, and he shouldn't be in such pain.But for his statement, the fourth official just smiled and asked him to return to his original position.

After seeing the referee give the card, Gago held Messi's hand and began to fight slowly. He didn't forget to show a painful look on his face, as if Baptista had used a lot of force just now. .

Acting has to be a full set, otherwise it will not be so easy to cheat in the future.

The future Professor Bu failed in his performance at the last minute, causing Barcelona to be spurned by fans all over the world, as if their championship trophies were all obtained by acting.

With lessons learned from the past, it took a long time for Gago to relax his frown, expressing that his pain had eased.In this way, even Baptista, who committed the foul, wondered if he was too strong just now, and felt a little guilty.

I have to say that Gago's performance of Xiao Shou's expression just now is very good.

However, the good mood of Gago cheating to the yellow card was only maintained for a short 2 minutes, because the Brazilian team scored again.

The Argentine team failed to take a free kick, and the Brazilian team quickly counterattacked. After receiving a long pass, Robinho showed his magnificent skills. Gilberto sent the ball straight to the goal without stopping, and Milito made a clearance before Lowe.

But the ball still fell into the hands of the Brazilian team. Baptista relied on his strong body to grab the first point, and then gave it to the frontcourt again.Robinho turned with a smooth chest stop and volleyed into the far corner.

Not far away, Ayala wanted to tackle the ball in the middle to clear the siege, but Robinho didn't hit the spot at all. If he didn't touch him, he might have missed the post directly, but Ayala Just tackled and ended up hitting the ball back on the right track and poking it into his own goal.

"Oh no, Ayala made a mistake again!"

"The goal was scored, Robinho's shot made Ayala's own goal, Argentina was unlucky, two goals down towards the end of the first half, Brazil had half the trophy in their hands pocket."

After Ayala saw the ball rolling into his own goal, his eyes were dull, and he covered his face and lay in front of the goal. He clenched his fist with his right hand and smashed it hard on the lawn. He didn't want to believe it. will make mistakes.

The fans in the stands didn't know what to say. In their impression, this was the first time that captain Ayala made a mistake at a critical moment.

Ayala, nicknamed "The Rat", is one of the best Argentine defenders in the past 20 years, but almost every time in the final battle of Argentina's major competition, Ayala will become a scapegoat.

1995年美洲杯1/4决赛，帕萨雷拉第60分钟用他换下巴蒂斯图塔，被认为是那场比赛的重要转折；1998年世界杯1/4决赛对荷兰，博格坎普在最后时刻完成了“天外飞仙”的绝杀，阿亚拉的角色就是这个伟大进球的牺牲品；1999年美洲杯1/4决赛，阿亚拉下半时踢飞了可以扳平比分的点球。

In the 2002 World Cup, he was injured in the warm-up before the game, and he could only watch the national team's tragic exit from the bench; in the 2004 America's Cup final, he was blown up by Adriano at his peak in stoppage time, and finally won Lost to the Brazilian in the penalty shootout; in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup against Germany, when Ayala scored the first goal for the national team with a header, who would have thought that he would become a sinner in front of the 1-yard line an hour later ...
But today, he made a mistake again. Is it true that Argentina’s years without a championship will continue? Ayala’s 14 years in the national team are 14 years without a championship. Do we have to wait for their generation to leave? Pampa Can Stanley win the championship?

This idea flashed in the hearts of all the fans!

In the stands, the fans of the Brazilian team were all crazy at this time. Before the game, the media were all optimistic that Argentina would win the championship. Although the Brazilian media said that their chances of winning the championship were not small, they had no confidence in their hearts. .No way, this year's Copa America, Argentina reached the final all the way with an invincible attitude, while the Brazilian team bumped into each other. The ups and downs along the way made all the fans worry.The record comparison between the two can even see the gap between fake fans, and it is inevitable that they themselves are not optimistic about Brazil winning the championship.

Who knows, after the final, none of the Argentine frontcourt stars seemed to have put on their shooting boots, and the few times they had to score were either blocked by the goal post or saved bravely by the God-possessed Doni.Instead, the Brazilian team, which had only two shots in total, scored two goals.

This 100% goal setting made all fans worship Pele again.

[Crow Divine Ball King, please praise Argentina more. 】

But at this moment, Bailey was so happy with the goal that he forgot to make a contribution. He was very excited to praise Dunga.

"Viri did a good job. He injected a rare stability and toughness into the impetuous Brazil team. He was pressed by the opponent for 10 minutes but he was not chaotic at all. He counterattacked twice and scored two goals. Today, God bless Brazil!"

Under the ecstasy, Bailey rarely continued to praise Argentina. Although the game was not over, he believed that with the defense of the Brazilian team, he would definitely be able to survive the next 10 minutes.

"Roberto, the game is not over yet, hurry up!"

Zanetti came back from the frontcourt and extended his hand to Ayala who was still lying in front of the goal. No one blamed him.On the court, everyone wants to win, and everyone will make mistakes. As long as you are a professional player, you must be prepared to suffer mistakes.

"Thanks, Javier, I know what to do!"

After Ayala got up, he wiped his face with his palm, wiped away the tears, and became the steady blue and white captain again.

In the last few minutes of the first half, the two-goal leading Brazil played a small climax. The cooperation of Maicon, Robinho and Baptista almost broke the goal of Argentina again.

However, as a veteran, Ayala made a timely grab to break the opponent's last pass. Ayala, who has experienced countless mistakes like this in his career, adjusted his mentality in time.He knew that he had to use a more stable defense so that the players in the frontcourt could attack with confidence.Otherwise, every time Gago and the others are attacking, they will think that even if they score the ball, the defense will lose the ball again if the defense makes a mistake, and the offense will be timid.

Finally, at the end of the first half, Argentina entered the locker room two goals behind. At this time, it was time to test the head coach's level of adjustment.

"In the second half, attack with all your strength. Esther, you come down and take a rest. Pablo, you go up and organize the attack with Roman. Phil, you advance your position a little bit, and play forward when necessary!"

Basile is still a very courageous person. At this time, he remembered the dazzling pass and cut cooperation of the three purely technical midfielders in the first game of the group stage. Under that tactic, Messi's power was fully stimulated, and Gago's all-around ability to organize and shoot was also brought into full play under this tactic.

After Basile finished arranging his tactics, Redondo came to Gago's side and said something.

"The hole card is something that should be used at this time to catch people by surprise!"
