On June 30th, the Berlin Olympic Stadium was bustling with people.
"Hello everyone, welcome to watch the 2006 Germany World Cup brought to you by CCTV5, the quarter-final match between Argentina and Germany. I am the commentator He Wei, and beside me are your old friends, General Fan Zhiyi and Zhang Lu Zhang guides!”
"Hello everyone, I am Fan Zhiyi."
"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Lu."
In the commentary box in the corner of the stands, three men in suits and collars were sitting in front of the commentary box.
After saying hello to the camera, He Wei, who was wearing big headphones, put his hands on the table and continued: "Okay, I believe if any of the viewers in front of the TV have been following Argentina since the World Cup group stage and have followed and supported it all the way. Friends, then you must not be unfamiliar with the Berlin Olympic Stadium, because it was here that Chen Mo performed a shocking hook in the group match against Australia half a month ago!"
"Yes, that goal was repeatedly broadcast by major news media around the world the next day. Even on the Internet, which is popular among young people, the discussion was lively. Some people said that [Chen Mo is a born leader], Some people also say that [this goal represents Argentina’s re-emergence]. Regarding these comments from netizens, Zhiyi, what do you think?”
"Haha, Argentina has indeed been glorious in its ancestors, but since Maradona's generation gradually withdrew from the stage of history in 1986, Argentina has started to go downhill. From champion to runner-up, and then from runner-up to the top 16, each session is worse than the last. .
Especially four years ago, I was particularly impressed. That Argentina team had Batty, Simeone, what else, Veron, and Pochettino. Although such a luxurious lineup is a bit aging, before the World Cup started, my friends and I thought that we would at least advance to the top 16 and quarter-finals, but as a result, we did not qualify in the group stage.
Here I have to talk about an old problem of Argentine players, ah, of course not in terms of competitive level, hahaha, I am not qualified to preach to them in terms of level, mainly the character of the players.
Everyone should know this. The Argentine players are very high-spirited. Hey, no one is convinced by anyone. Many times the players are actually very strong individually, but they can’t perform well together, but this World Cup is different. , you can clearly feel that the Argentine players are consciously united around Chen Mo. To be honest, this World Cup is a bit like Maradona's World Cup in 1986. "
"Yes, yes, this kid Chen Mo does have the ability to unite his teammates. If nothing else, just look at his passes on the court. His teammates are really comfortable catching them. Unless he is the core midfielder who also needs the ball, otherwise There are few players who wouldn't enjoy being teammates with him.
However, when it comes to the game, Argentina will not play it too easily. After all, they are facing the host Germany. If we really want to talk about the background, Samsung Germany has one more World Cup champion than Argentina in history. Their local football culture and The atmosphere is no weaker than that of Argentina. Even because of the existence of the Bundesliga, the football atmosphere in Germany is even better. "
"Director Zhang Lu is right, and this generation is not only a blowout of talent in Argentina, but also in the German team. Hey, the starting lineup is out. Let's take a look at Germany's current main lineup.
Left forward Bordowski, Klose.
Left midfielder Sweinsteiger, central midfielder Ballack, deep midfielder Frings, right midfielder Snyder.
Left back Lahm, center back Metzelder, center back Mertesacker, right back Friedrich.
The stars are really shining. This lineup actually brings together the best of all the Bundesliga teams. If we look at the stars in each position, except for Chen Mo and Messi, this German team actually has better players than other Argentine players. few. "
"No, otherwise the Bundesliga is Bayern's back garden, and Bayern is the German national team? Haha, but since Klinsmann became the head coach of the German team, the proportion of Bayern players in the German national team has also begun to decrease. .
Look at this defensive midfielder Frings, he is a player of Werder Bremen. Even though he is 1.82 meters tall, he is very strong, not slow and his style of play is very rough. He once set a record in the Bundesliga in a single season. A record of receiving 13 yellow cards. What kind of concept is this? Keane, a notorious villain in the Premier League, only received a total of about 70 yellow cards in his thirteen seasons with Manchester United. "
"Not only Frings, but Ballack and Schweinsteiger, although their playing style is not dirty, they are also defensive warriors. This central axis of Germany may not be as organized as France with Zidane. , and Italy with Pirlo came smoothly, but their defensive ability is definitely the highest level in this World Cup!"
"Yes, and Argentina still has a 4141 formation for this game. If the roster just given is not a smoke bomb, then this game will be interesting to watch. The strongest spear versus the strongest shield, haha!"
"That's right, that's right, okay, now the players from both sides have gone to the center circle, Argentina has the ball, attacking from left to right, now let's return the camera to the game!"
.
"They really still have to fight against counterattacks."
The cheers of more than 70,000 spectators at the Olympic Stadium roared in my ears. Just after receiving the ball from Crespo, the next second German center Bordowski rushed in front of him. Without hesitation, Chen Mo directly knocked the ball back to Zanetti went to the wing and looked up while running.
Chen Mo was not too surprised when he saw that the German team players did not rush forward rashly, but spread the entire formation in the back of the center and were still retreating.
By the time the World Cup reaches the quarter-finals, the tactical systems of most teams have actually been figured out by their competitors.
The German team players are tall and have strong impact, but the disadvantage is that they do not have an organizer like Chen Mo or Zidane Pirlo in the midfield, and the ground is not delicate enough, so they can only use Argentina's quick frontcourt press. Intensive defense, and then counterattack with long passes and lobs.
and
"Isn't it serious, two strikers are pressing you?!"
When he received Aimar's return pass again, the next second the two forwards Klose and Bordowski were flanked by one on the left and the other on the right. Chen Mo had no choice but to pass the ball to Scaloni on the right.
Yes, the German team not only adopted intensive defense in this game, but also asked the two forwards to make sacrifices and directly left the front line to retreat to cooperate with Frings to force Chen Mo in the midfielder position!
"Trouble."
Glancing at Messi, who was guarded by Schweinsteiger and Ballack on the right, with Lahm assisting behind him, Chen Mo frowned deeply when he received a slight shake of his head in response.
Not only was he guarded by two forwards and Frings in front, but Messi in the right midfield and Di Maria on the right were also blocked by Swainsteiger, Ballack and Lahm in a small triangle. !
These three are all top defensive players. It is difficult to break through one-on-one, let alone two-on-three.
The best way to break the game at this time is for the full-back to move forward and attract a defensive player!
Thinking of this, Chen Mo glanced at the right back Scaloni, "Zanetti needs to mark the fast Snyder on the left, and he can't get up. Scaloni is facing Schweinsteiger. Insteiger's ability to advance the ball is not strong, but his speed is not fast enough. To make a sudden move, he needs to paralyze the German players first."
With this in mind, Chen Mo began to consciously reduce the number of passes he passed to Scaloni.
If the full-backs cannot press forward to provide a numerical advantage, the dense defense will be difficult to break, and the German team's tactical intention is also very obvious, which is to defend intensively and engage in defensive counterattacks.
Very extreme intensive defense. Only when Argentina reaches the 35-meter area of the German team, the German team players will step forward to press. In this case, it is difficult for Messi to catch the ball, let alone dribbling!
One side is worried about being hit by a counterattack and does not dare to rush in. The other side is worried that pressing will give the opponent dribbling space, and does not dare to press forward.
In the first fifteen minutes of the game, both sides played very boringly. Chen Mo also tried to take a long shot from the middle, but it was obvious that the German team had made targeted arrangements before the game, and the entire top of the arc was airtight. , there is no chance to kick off at all!
"This is too targeted. The two small triangles of the German team were directly locked up by Chen Mo and Messi."
"So this is why more people still think the German team will win before the game. Messi is a left-footed player who likes to cut inside, so he can only move on the right side, but this is the area where the German team has the strongest defense. It's on the right side. Not to mention anything else, just where Lahm, Schweinsteiger, and Ballack are standing, ordinary players will be horrified to see where they stand.
But, I feel like now it’s still up to us to see who can keep calm. After all, the German team sacrificed part of the offensive function of the two forwards, allowing them to retreat to a deep position to help defend and restrict Chen Mo.
In this case, not to mention that the German team's offensive firepower will be greatly weakened. Let's just say, right, the forward's first priority is to score goals. What they practice every day is more about offense. Let them do defense. It is impossible to say what to do. Like a defender and midfielder who didn't make a single mistake in the whole 90 minutes, and once Chen Mo found an opportunity to cause damage in the middle, it would cause a chain reaction. "
"Yes, as long as Chen Mo can cause damage in the middle, Ballack must move inwards. By then, the burden on Messi and Di Maria will be much lighter. Zhiyi, what do you think?"
"Director Zhang is right. It would be dangerous for Chen Mo to cause damage to the German team, but the same situation applies to Argentina. Their high-pressure ground penetration is like dancing on a knife edge. What they fear most is to gain momentum but not score.
First of all, fans need to know that high-position pressure needs to be matched with high-position counter-attacks. Crazy high-position counter-attacks will keep the ball suppressed in the opponent's half, and this will consume a lot of physical energy. Therefore, if Argentina cannot get enough in about 70 minutes at the latest The advantage is that when the German team charges up later, Argentina, which is exhausted, will be in trouble. "
"Yes, Argentina's previous method of dealing with this situation was to switch to a 3313 formation in the second half, but Argentina's defensive midfielders, except Chen Mo, were all too short. They would definitely not be able to prevent the German team's long pass, so eh! Wait! What happened?! Chen Mo got rid of the defense?!"
The chattering commentary suddenly raised its voice by an octave. The fans in front of the TV were instantly refreshed, and the fans in the stands widened their eyes!
In the 23rd minute of the game, Argentina had a chance to pass the ball from the left sideline. Chen Mo waited on the sideline for D'Alessandro to serve.
Klose retreated to put pressure on Chen Mo as before. At the same time, German right midfielder Snyder also blocked Chen Mo.
The single defensive midfielder was guarded one after another. Under normal circumstances, D'Alessandro would have thrown the ball to Aimar, the left midfielder with more space, but at this moment.
"What?!"
At the moment when D'Alessandro took two steps back and prepared to throw the ball vigorously, at the moment when Klose and Snyder were relaxed, Chen Mo, who had Klose on his back, suddenly stepped forward with great force to the left. shoulder!
Feint behind the back!
The magnitude is huge!
Extremely fast!
Klose was startled and subconsciously kicked off his right foot to move his weight forward to the left!
"You got Fooled!"
From the corner of his left eye, he caught a dark shadow moving sideways. In the flash of lightning, Chen Mo instantly exerted force on his extensor muscles on both sides of his waist and abdomen, instantly pulling his body back. At the same time, he swung his left arm vigorously to the right, twisted his belt and swung his two hips. A long leg ran forward to the right, and rushed to Snyder's left shoulder in an instant!
At the same time, D'Alessandro's hand-thrown ball was also thrown out, and the flight path was exactly the route that Chen Mo took!
"Fill in!!!"
Seeing Chen Mo, who almost pulled out the afterimage and rushed to his left, Snyder's pupils shrank suddenly and he immediately turned sideways to follow!
Just now Klose couldn't see Chen Mo's movements from behind, but he, Snyder, was in front. When Chen Mo winked at D'Alessandro, he was already on guard, but Chen Mo's movements were too fast, almost The moment his muscles tensed up, he had already completed the feint and thrust forward!
"Snyder reacted so quickly! He stuck to Chen Mo!"
"The people are too dense, Chen Mo has no room to speed up!"
The commentator exclaimed that Argentinian fans all over the world were in awe. Chen Mo's escape was very beautiful, but the German team defended intensively. The gaps between people were very small. Chen Mo just pushed his way to Sneijk. When De was on his side, Frings had already moved to the front!
"He moved laterally too fast!"
"Can't stop the ball!"
His left shoulder was squeezed by Snyder's right shoulder. He looked at Flins who had already filled the position in front of him, and glanced at the ball flying from behind from the corner of his eye. Chen Mo frowned, and at this moment!
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed across his right eye, a black shadow rushing forward along the far right path!
"That is!"
In the midst of the lightning, Chen Mo's eyes flashed, he gritted his teeth, and the next second, in the shocked eyes of Frings in front, Snyder on the left, and all the fans around the world, he jumped high!
Use abdominal force to twist your waist!
Using the inertia of lifting his right knee, Chen Mo completed a turn in the air while the whole world was watching, while hanging upside down in the air!
The clouds cover the sun!
The right leg is whipped out!
"Holy shit!"
"Fuck."
"Snapped!"
The sonic boom exploded in the ears of Snyder and Flins. They couldn't see Chen Mo's expression under the backlight at all. They just stared blankly at Chen Mo's right instep and hit the ball hard!
The huge force almost deformed the ball!
The next second, spray!
The ball was like a nitrogen propeller, and it instantly sprayed diagonally to the right, in the direction of Scaloni's advance!
"Oh my God! What kind of pass is this?!!!"
"Monster! Monster! Absolutely a monster!"
"Three thousand miles into the water!!! Scaloni stepped forward!!!"
"No, no, no! This ball is too high! It's going to go out of the sideline!!!"
The commentator roared, and fans around the world stared wide-eyed. However, when they discovered that the ball was too fast, too powerful, and too high for Scaloni to catch it, the highlights in everyone's eyes dimmed, but at this time!
"!!!The ball dropped!!!"
"Oh my God!!! What the hell is this?!!!"
"Elevator ball!!! Chen Mo hung the golden hook upside down and sent an elevator ball!!!"
Under the gaze of the whole world, the high-flying ball suddenly shook violently as if it had been hit by a strong wind, and then suddenly fell!
The commentator roared instantly. Fan Zhiyi and others jumped up from the bench with blushing faces. Even Maradona in the stands slapped the armrest, stood up, pulled Batistuta away in front of him, and stretched out his hand. My head is wide open and my eyes are wide open!
"I can't get past him!"
"Can't stop the ball!"
Looking at the ball flying from behind on the left, looking at Ram who had given up on Di Maria to replace him on the left, time seemed to be stretched out in an instant. Ram came flying towards him, under the excited gaze of fans all over the world. , Scaloni, with no expression on his face, swung his right foot directly in front of the ball!
"He's going to cross!"
"I can't stop!"
In the blink of an eye, there was no time to think too much. Ram immediately put his hands on his chest and jumped sideways. At this moment, Scaloni's right foot suddenly released its force!
"Ruined!"
His eyes widened instantly. Under Lahm's shocked gaze, facing this diagonal pass of more than 70 meters, Scaloni did not pass the ball immediately, but went to meet the ball with the arch of his foot!
L shape!
The falling ball hit the arch of Scaloni's foot, and the deflection bounced two steps outside the right side of the German team's penalty area!
null!
Everyone thought that Scaloni was going to pass the ball. At this time, the two central defenders of the German team were attracted to the top of the arc by the advancing Crespo. Strangely, the German team, which was densely defensive, actually found a gap two steps outside the right side of the penalty area. !
"Defense!!!!!"
Roar!
Ballack, who was chasing after him, let out a savage roar like a giant, but at the same time as he roared, Di Maria had already patted his horse and received the ball!
"Di Maria has entered the penalty area!!!"
"Are you going to fight yourself?!!"
The commentator exclaimed and everyone stood up!
Under everyone's nervous gaze, Di Maria split open the German team's penalty area like a sharp blade, dribbling the ball straight to the right side of the goal. At the same time, he adjusted his posture sideways, released his upper body, turned sideways towards the goal, and tried to shoot with his left foot!
"Damn it!"
There was no other way. Germany's left center back Per Mertesacker gave up attacking Crespo and ran wildly to tackle!
Tackle road!
No low balls!
But the moment he put down the shovel, Di Maria flicked the rolling ball with the toes of his left foot!
Instead of picking the far corner, he picked Crespo in the middle to hold on to Metzelder!
"Arc top!"
The moment he picked the ball, Di Maria's eyes widened and he pointed with his left hand at the top of the arc, but a second before he roared, facing the flying ball, Crespo stretched out his head with wet black hair to hit the ball!
Set up the cannon!
The ball bounced to the top of the arc. In the desperate eyes of Ballack and Swainsteiger, Messi rushed to meet the ball and shot with his left foot!
Blade light!
Broken armor!
"Look at Di Maria's pass back! Crespo! Header pass! At the top of the arc!"
"Ah!!! World wave!! Messi!!! Messi!!! World wave! Messi! Messi blasted a world wave! The hall was filled with flowers and three thousand guests were drunk, and fourteen states were frozen with one sword! !!Messi! Invincible Messi!!!"
The commentator roared, and the Argentinian fans in the audience were instantly excited. In the cheers of the fans, Chen Mo, with wet black hair, laughed and ran to the corner, where Messi, Crespodimaglia, Scaloni and others She also laughed and opened her arms to him!
"Oh my god! This goal is so exciting! Oh! Really, I don't even know what to say. Chen Mo's upside-down golden hook from 70 meters away was diagonal to Sescaloni's offload. Di Maria picked Crespo passed the ball with a header, and Messi sealed his throat with a sword! This is an absolutely, absolutely, historic team goal!"
"The wind is blowing! Congratulations to Messi, congratulations to Argentina, they took the lead in the 23rd minute of the game!!!"
