Chapter 592 Moment of Horror [First Update]

10 minutes into the game, the situation on the court was as expected by most of the media and fans before the game——

The Argentine team attacked with all their strength and pressed the Greek team tightly in the half.

The Blue and Whites accounted for more than 80.00% of the ball possession time, and the Greek players rarely even got the football. Even if they succeeded in stealing occasionally, their first choice was to lob the ball directly into the front court to clear the siege, rather than organizing an offensive...

In the huge frontcourt, the Greek team left only one striker, Samaras!
The striker who plays for the Celtics of the Soviet Super League has a height of 1.9 meters three, and his innate height advantage is very obvious. In addition, his technical ability to hold the ball at his feet is also good.
Therefore, in the first 10 minutes of the confrontation, even if the Greek team can occasionally hoist the football to a suitable position in the frontcourt, it is difficult for the handsome Samaras to gain an advantage in the physical confrontation with the Argentine defender and cannot comfortably grab the first point!
"...Rehhagel still insists on his own football philosophy. He once again brought the Greek team's defensive counterattack tactics to the extreme when they won the championship in 2004...Although the Argentines occupy more than [-]% of the ball possession rate, judging from the current situation, they still have no way to pose a threat to the Greek team's goal. The only three shots by Madman Lee hit the defenders without a row!"

In the commentary booth, a commentator is analyzing the game.

……

……

Peter Mokaba Stadium, Polokwane.

The match between the Nerazzurri Argentina and the Greek team was in full swing.

At the beginning of the game, Crazy Lee did not disappoint the fans and the media, and once again arranged the 3-2-1-4 'top-heavy' attacking formation against the South Korean team——

Goalkeeper Romero.

The three backs were rotated, Burdisso, Demichelis and Zanetti.

In terms of the midfielder, 【Little Ma】Javier Mascherano will rest in rotation, and Inter Milan's core midfielder Cambiasso will partner with Fernando Gago.

The front midfielder position is still Riquelme.

Among the front four strikers, Messi and Carlos Tevez are still starting. [Small Smoking Gun] Higuain was on the bench because of the rotation. He was replaced by the new Inter Milan prince Diego Milito. Aguero, who had flu symptoms before the game, recovered amazingly. After getting the permission of the team doctor, he started the game!
As for the Greek team, Rehhagel adopted a 4-5-1 formation that defended across the board——

Single striker Samaras.

The five midfielders are Kachulanis, Karagonis, Papastatopoulos, Zioris and Moras.

Back four Torossidis, Papadopoulos, Wintra and Kiljaks.

Goalkeeper Zorvas!
(Greek names, the last word is 'S', there are so many...)
……

The game lasted 13 minutes.

The entire stadium was shrouded in the roar of 'Vuvuzula'.

The Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane City can accommodate 45000 fans to watch the game. Because the Argentine team performed perfectly in the previous two games and set off incredible scoring storms again and again, so in this game, apart from the loyal fans of both sides, there are also many neutral fans who come to watch the game!

More than 45000 people surrounded the entire stand tightly.

There were even some fans standing in the aisles who didn't know how to get in!

Although the Argentine team attacked fiercely in the first 10 minutes.

However, once the football enters the 30-meter area in front of the Greek team's goal, it will be difficult for the Blue and Whites to play smoothly, and there are very few chances to shoot...

In such a scene, those neutral fans who were expecting to enjoy a super goal battle couldn't help but feel a little anxious and disappointed.

……

sidelines.

Li Tongfan has been standing on the sidelines since the start of the game, quietly observing the trend of the game.

Before the game, he accepted the system task [Afterglow of the Great Emperor's Life] without hesitation. This is equivalent to Lao Li taking the initiative to abandon the opportunity to use FM2010 various points and system to cheat. So now, his brain is running fast, trying to find the loopholes in the Greek team's defensive system!

Rehhagel's tactics are cunning and weird.

On the surface, although the formation is 4-5-1, but the double midfielders Papastatopoulos and Moras are both playing central defenders. As long as the situation of the Greek team is in crisis, Papastatopoulos and Moras will retreat to the penalty area, so that the Greek team is like Transformers in an instant, forming a shameless six defenders to guard against death...

This dense defensive system is like an invisible bus parked in front of the Greek team's goal. As long as the Argentine players can't finish dribbling the Greek team's defenders, in such a dense crowd, there is no way to find a shooting route that can accommodate football...

Li Tongfan also tried to command the Hammers to retreat a little bit to attract the Greek team to attack, and waited for their defensive formation to be opened, and then suddenly counterattacked the goal with a lightning strike...

However, the players of the Greek team implemented [Otto the Great]'s tactical intentions very thoroughly. They do not seek merit but seek no fault. They have been nesting in the penalty area to guard against death. They are full of patience. There is no [-]% absolute chance, and they will never press out to attack...

All of a sudden, Li Tongfan really couldn't come up with any good solution in the face of this kind of dense iron bucket defense!

His brain turned sharply, thinking about the way to crack it.

……

And the other side.

The head coach of the Greek team [Otto the Great] Rehhagel did not have a relaxed expression on his face.

Like Li Tongfan, Rehhagel has been standing on the sidelines since the beginning of the game and never returned to his seat on the commanding table. The general situation in Group B is not very good for the Greek team. They need a victory to get a place in Group B. On the football field, it seems that only offense can bring victory to the team...

However, Rehhagel understood better that facing an opponent like Madman Li, a confrontation is tantamount to courting death!
He played against Crazy Li in the European Cup in 08.

Rehagel knows that facing Madman Lee, what kind of mentality is the most important. Madman Lee's tactical adjustments are never casual and accidental. He is like a terrifying conspirator who has prepared countless traps waiting for you to jump. When other coaches only think of the first step and the second step, Madman Li has already thought of at least ten steps away...

Therefore, for any coach, if you accidentally make a mistake and fall into the trap at the beginning, it will be very difficult for you to jump out of this man's serial trap again!

Therefore, the current Greek team can only and must maintain sufficient patience.

Rehhagel is waiting for the Argentine team to take the initiative to make mistakes. Superstars are human too. As long as they make a mistake in 10 minutes of the game, as long as the Greek team can seize a chance, then the road to promotion will be smooth!
Otherwise, Rehhagel would prefer a draw.

Because even if the Greek team draws with Argentina, as long as Nigeria can beat the South Korean team in another game, the Greeks can also qualify for the group stage!
Rehhagel would rather pin his hopes on others than fight against the Argentine team, so he will never take the risk of taking the initiative to attack!
……

Time passed slowly under the strict defense of the Greek team.

Until the 30th minute of the first half, the score remained at 0:0. The Argentine team had an absolute advantage, but the real threatening scoring opportunities created were pitifully few!
"...Rehhagel brought troubles to Crazy Li. You can criticize the Greek team's performance as being completely uninspired. From the beginning to now, they have basically never invested more than three troops in an offensive...But you have to admit that the tactics of the Greek team have indeed brought problems to Crazy Li!"

"...The attacking formation of the four forwards of the Blue and White Army is of no help. Maybe in the next knockout round, those giants who are far stronger than the Greek team can also consider using this method to defeat Madman Li when they face Argentina!"

on the commentary.

[Golden Bomber] Klinsmann looked thoughtfully at this scene on the field.

……

in the stands.

The fans of the Greek team and the Argentine team were about to shout hoarsely.

The fans of the Greek team saw that the team was facing the mighty Crazy Lee, and they managed not to lose a goal for more than half an hour. Although the scene was a bit embarrassing...but this was enough to make them excited. If the score remained at 0:0 until the end of the game, then the Greek team still had a chance to qualify!

The fans of the Argentine team want to use crazy shouts to cheer for the heroes on the field. Everyone can see that the team has encountered difficulties. However, the fans are not disappointed. Breaking the dense defense is a problem in football all over the world. The current score is normal.

The ones who are really disappointed are those neutral fans!
Some of them came all the way from other cities day and night just to watch an Argentine-style scoring performance. The Greek team is not a strong team in the traditional sense. They originally thought that from the beginning of the game, Madman Lee’s team would kill Rehhagel like a rotten one. They all rushed to watch seven, eight, nine goals, but...

It's been 10 minutes, and they haven't even scored a goal, which makes them very disappointed!
In the stands, the neutral fans began to express their strong dissatisfaction with boos and overwhelming 'vuvuzula' buzzing...

……

On the field.

Messi is on the ball.

Papastatopoulos was like a sticky and disgusting piece of chewing gum. From the beginning of the game, he was firmly stuck to his back. Rehhagel's man-to-man tactics played a certain role. Messi felt like he was carrying a heavy mountain!

Messi made an emergency stop and cleverly got rid of Karagonis who was blocked in front.

Before the cheers of the Argentine fans in the stands sounded, Papastatopoulos took advantage of the gap in Messi's speed, inserted from the side and rear, stretched out a leg first, and then pushed the [Barcelona King] to the ground with his strong body...

This kind of foul, the action is quite gentle, there is no danger of getting a card.

Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura gave Argentina a direct free kick without even giving Papastatopoulos a verbal warning.

Such a scene has happened many times in the previous 30 minutes.

The free kick master Riquelme took the free kick, the distance was too far, Romy's direct shot hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline...

There was a sound of "vomit vomit" in the stands.

……

Li Tongfan stood on the sidelines and shook his head gently.

He also tried the tactic of making fouls with strong free kicks in the front court, but Rehhagel seemed to have expected this, so the Greek team was very smart when defending, generally choosing to force the football to 30 meters away, and rarely giving the Argentine team a free kick within 30 meters of the penalty area!
Moreover, the state of Quelme, the team's first surgeon, is not very good today.

The hands of the giant clock at the top of the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane City have unknowingly reached 16:43. Including injury time, there are less than 5 minutes left in the first half of the game. Li Tongfan, who stood still for nearly 45 minutes, finally turned and walked to the seat on the commanding table...

"It seems that the first half can only end in a draw. During the intermission, let's adjust the team's tactics..."

Li Tongfan made up his mind.

However, at this moment, the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane remembered a sound of exclamation, like a crazy tsunami earthquake...

Surprised, Li Tongfan turned around suddenly.

I just saw that on the field, I don’t know what’s going on, the Greek striker Samaras suddenly succeeded in getting the ball, passed the central defender Demichelis, and was taking the ball towards the Argentine team’s goal...

It was Burdisso who rushed to defend Samaras at the first time!

Burdisso performed very well in the Red Wolves Roma last season, and his strength has also been unanimously recognized by many media. Li Tongfan recruited him into the national team and brought him to South Africa. In fact, he valued Burdisso's versatility in the backcourt!
Facing Samaras who was swaying with the ball, Burdisso instinctively blocked the introversion and did not give him a chance to shoot...

However, at this time, Samaras' excellent sole technique played a role.

He tricked Burdisso out of the way with a very simple sudden spike.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, Samaras immediately fired a cannon and shot!
Samaras blasted a world wave, the speed of the football flying in the air was like lightning, the young goalkeeper Romero fought hard to save, but the football still rushed into the goal from the far corner...

1:0! !
The Greek team actually took the lead!
