The influence of the World Cup is already great. After entering the more exciting and exciting knockout stage, it is even more eye-catching. This year, I want to talk about the teams that the fans are most looking forward to.
Naturally, there is Argentina with Chen Mo and Messi, Spain with the dream triple plus Real Madrid, Germany with Muller, Neuer Klose and others, and the Netherlands with Robben, Ribery, Sneijder and van der Vaart.
However, the grouping of the top 16 of this year’s World Cup is not fierce.
Except for Portugal, which met Spain, and England, which met Germany, the other groups all had a relatively obvious gap in strength, and the first two games in the top 16 were not considered focus battles.
In the front, Uruguay plays Ecuador, and in the back, Ghana plays the United States.
Of the four teams in these two games, Uruguay is the only one with some gold content.
Many fans who couldn't see the dialogue between Qiangqiang are still a little disappointed in their hearts.
However, as time came to June 28, 2010, fans around the world began to look forward to it again.
For no other reason than Argentina wants to fuck Mexico.
.
June 28, Cape Town Stadium.
There were noisy fans shouting outside the locker room.
Obviously, the fans are very enthusiastic, but to be honest, Chen Mo was not too excited about playing in Mexico. He just sat under the cabinet in the middle while tying his shoelaces and chatting with Messi and the others.
However, Chen Mo felt fine, but some of the guys in the team were nervous.
"God bless me Otamendi and everything goes well."
Otamendi kept nagging, and his face even turned a little pale.
That's normal.
He, Otamendi, is 22 years old and plays for Sarsfield in the A-League.
He is young and does not have much experience in competitions.
In fact, if it weren't for Chen Mo's refusal to let Heinze join the national team and Samuel being injured all the time, Otamendi would not even be selected for the World Cup squad, let alone be in the starting lineup.
However, his strength is indeed pretty good, he is tenacious and aggressive, and he performed very well in the group stage.
But the group stage is a points match after all. If you lose a game, you still have a chance to catch up. The knockout round is determined by a single game!
Moreover, the opponent still specializes in counter-attacking, and it is Mexico who bypasses the middle and plays counter-attacking!
The psychological pressure is high, and the pressure on the tactical level is also high.
There is no doubt that Otamendi's chattering was also heard by Chen Mo, Messi and others next to him.
They are all experienced players and know Otamendi's nervousness, and at this time, the different personalities of Chen Mo and Messi were revealed.
Looking at the nervous Otamendi, Messi frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but hesitated.
He is not a character who can encourage others in a relaxed and natural state, but Chen Mo was different. He directly pulled Otamendi aside and started to talk.
It’s not like “Don’t care about other people’s opinions” or “Believe in yourself, you can do it!” This kind of nonsense sounds reasonable but is actually useless.
To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell. Only Otamendi can digest the pressure he puts on himself. Chen Mo just smiled and said that it would be okay even if the ball was lost, they could come back.
The effect is not bad.
Even if the defender makes a mistake, as long as the mistake is not too exaggerated and the game is won in the end, few people will catch the defender and complain after the game.
Without the pressure of public opinion, Otamendi's condition was obviously much more relaxed, and he looked at Chen Mo with more gratitude and respect.
Chen Mo didn't pay much attention to Otamendi's gratitude. Soon, as the horn in the locker room sounded, he also led the team to trot onto the field.
.
"As expected, Argentina still did not make personnel adjustments for this game, and it is still 424."
"Haha, Argentina doesn't have any reason to change their formation. Their 424 in the three group stage games can be said to be a success. However, this game depends on how they break Mexico's turtle shell. How can I say, Zhang Coach, what do you think the final score of this game will be?"
"Haha, it's hard to say the score, but I feel that Chen Mo will score in this game."
"Oh? What do you say?"
"In order to defend against Argentina's four forwards, Mexico uses a 5-41 five-back formation. This formation is indeed no problem in defending against four forwards, but the defense at the top of the arc is definitely not as solid as 442 or 451, so I feel Chen Mo should get more opportunities in this game."
The explanation is a bit verbose, but what it says is correct.
Argentina's 424 formation needs Chen Mo to support it, but at the same time, because of the presence of four forwards, the opponent's defense will be stretched wider. At this time, it is easier for Chen Mo to find opportunities at the top of the arc.
After the opening, Aguero quickly returned the pass.
Mexico did not press forward, but kept retreating.
The intention is obviously to defend and counterattack.
The other side stopped attacking, so Chen Mo naturally dribbled the ball forward. However, after the whole team passed half the ball, Chen Mo stopped controlling the ball.
With all the fans watching, Argentina's main area of possession changed from the center to the left and right wings.
Basically, Di Maria and Messi are controlling the ball, while Chen Mo is more often in the middle, running without the ball, playing a role in connecting the left and right.
Outstanding effect.
Not to mention Messi on the right, Di Maria on the left is a left-footed player, and it is difficult to cut inside. However, Mexico's defense is very far back. Di Maria does not need to advance after receiving the ball, and stands directly. Just go one-on-one with the full-back in the corner of the penalty area.
Both the left and right sides were unable to defend themselves, so Mexico's defense line could only be stretched in both directions.
In the 27th minute of the game, Messi swung his shoulder away from the Mexican right back on the right, dribbling the ball and cutting inside.
Messi is very capable of shooting from the front of the penalty area. The Mexican right center back had no choice but to move laterally to make up the position. At the moment he made up the position, Messi used a kick to find Chen Mo who rushed forward and rushed to the top of the key.
Just hit the ball!
Powerful blast with your right foot!
The ball is extremely fast!
And knowing that Ochoa is a goalkeeper who pays attention to his form and doesn't want to give the opponent a chance to get a feel for the ball, Chen Mo also aimed this ball directly at the upper right corner of the goal!
Very difficult!
Either win the lottery!
Or masturbate!
However, because Messi's inward cut attracted a lot of defenders, Chen Mo had enough time to adjust his posture and aim for this goal!
There was no suspense. Amid the cheers of the Argentinian fans in the audience, the ball hit the upper right corner of the goal!
World Cup knockout goal!
After scoring the goal, Chen Mo was still very excited. He immediately rushed to the corner with Messi side by side, blowing kisses to his wives in the VIP seats who raised their hands in celebration.
There is no doubt that this scene was naturally captured by cameras again, but to be honest, the photographers were a little busy today.
Not Chen Mo.
The protagonist of this game is Messi.
The previous opponents in the group stage were not as strong as Mexico, but their tactics were not as extreme as Mexico's.
The biggest problem of Argentina 424 is that when the offense and defense transition to the defensive stage, if the opponent advances from the midfield, Chen Mo and Ma Ge will be under great defensive pressure. Messi did not dare to completely let go of his hands and feet in previous games.
Because whether it is Ecuador or even South Korea, their midfielders have a certain degree of vertical impact in the middle. It is very troublesome for Chen Mo and Xiao Ma to defend from the second to the third, but this Mexican midfielder is all a defensive warrior and basically does not have the ability. The ability to carry the ball long distances in the midfield to attack.
Even if Messi fails to break through and loses the ball, Mexico's counterattack will mainly rely on the two wings and forwards.
Argentina has 4 defenders. It is not a disadvantage to defend against counterattacks by such a striker plus a full midfielder. Moreover, because Mexico's midfielder is not too strong, Chen Mo's position is relatively deep, stabilizing the defense while sending cannonballs to the frontcourt.
In this case, Messi can naturally play freely.
In 2010, the 24-year-old Messi started playing freely, and the tactics gave him enough support.
There was no suspense. Messi completed 9 dribbles in the first half, but Mexico's defense was indeed very stable. It was not until the 68th minute of the second half that Messi hit the wall with Higuain at the top of the arc, and then failed. The ball entered the penalty area, grabbed the spot and scored the goal.
Two to zero.
There were only twenty minutes left in the game. As Messi rushed to the corner and jumped on Higuain's back, Mexico was forced to change its style of play.
He could only rush out and fight for his life, but it was of no use.
After Mexico rushed in, Maradona directly replaced Aguero with Cambiaso.
Argentina's formation changed to a three-midfield midfield, with Chen Mo, Pony Ma and Cambiasso's three-midfield midfielder, and Chen Mo's position also retreated from the midfielder to the midfielder position.
Outstanding effect.
Argentina is afraid of the opponent's long pass, mainly because of its lack of height.
To what extent is this not enough? The average height of the four defenders plus Maggie is less than 1.8 meters, with the tallest being Otamendi who is 1.83 meters tall.
This height can't prevent high-altitude balls at all, but the situation is different after Chen Mo retreats.
Chen Mo is 1.86 meters tall and is top-notch in confrontation and jumping. With him retreating for air defense, Argentina's air defense pressure has been greatly reduced.
Ma Ma and Cambiasso swept and intercepted from left and right, and Chen Mo was in the middle and behind. Facing this iron wall, even if all Mexicans rushed out and tried their best, there was still no good effect.
On the contrary, because they pressed out, in the 87th minute of the game, Di Maria found an opportunity to score a single shot.
In the end, as the referee blew the full-time whistle, and amid the cheers of the fans in the audience, the score was fixed at 3-0.
.
After a 3-0 victory over Mexico, the news media naturally boasted about it after the game. This time, their spotlight was basically on Messi, who attempted 21 breakthroughs in the game and succeeded in 17!
17 breakthroughs!
Eighty percent breakthrough success rate!
This data is extremely horrifying, and as soon as it was exposed by the media, it immediately set off an upsurge of discussion around the world!
For no other reason, Messi directly broke the world record!
Before this game, the holder of the single-game dribble record in the World Cup was "Flying Bird" Okocha who succeeded in 13 dribbles in a single game in the 1994 World Cup, with a success rate of 76%!
Afterwards, it was Cruyff in 1974, who made 12 dribbles with a success rate of 67%. In that game, Cruyff performed the classic "Cruyff Turn"!
Further back, it was Maradona in 1986, who succeeded in dribbling 12 times in a single game, with a success rate of 63%. In that game against England, the old horse performed the "Hand of God" and "passed six people from the wing." "The famous scene!
Now, Messi has raised this record to 17 times with a success rate of 80%!
There is no doubt that this game will go down in history.
However, to be honest, the outside world is very hot, but in fact Messi, as the person involved, is not too excited. Just the night after I found out that the record was broken, I came to see Chen Mo for barbecue.
Messi doesn't care too much about these records, and neither does Chen Mo.
In other words, it's not that they don't care, but because they have broken too many records and are used to these things.
The youngest person to score a hat trick in the World Cup final, the youngest person to score a hat trick in the Champions League final, the youngest European Golden Boot, the Premier League assist leader for six consecutive years, and the La Liga Golden Boot for four consecutive years.
These titles are all firsts in history.
Therefore, in fact, neither of them paid much attention to this breakthrough record. Even when they took their families to eat barbecue, the main topic of conversation was having children.
Yes, after seeing that Chen Mo now has a pair of lovely twins, and that Keli is also pregnant, Messi also began to consider this aspect. He and Antonella were already preparing for pregnancy.
Messi wants to be a father.
Naturally, he was ridiculed by Chen Mo, saying that it was better not to bring children to Messi in the future, otherwise he would turn into a boring person who was not liked by girls.
In response to this, Messi naturally responded with a disgusting response.
Chen Mo is having a good life here, and the World Cup top 16 competition is still going on.
After their game between Argentina and Mexico, this year's World Cup finally ushered in the first highlight-Germany versus England.
Germany has actually had a miserable life in recent years. Although they performed well in 2006, their domestic stars have indeed experienced a shortage of talent. This can be seen from the fact that Bayern failed to qualify for the Champions League in 2008. .
But football, like life, is full of ups and downs.
After experiencing the trough of 0708, the German team, which has completed the upgrade, is now showing signs of momentum.
The goalkeeper position is Neuer, a young player born in 1986.
On the back line there are Lahm in 1983, Boateng in 1988 and Hummels.
The midfielders are Xiaozhu in 1984, Khedira in 1987, and Ozil in 1988.
Forwards Klose in 1978, Bordowski in 1985, and Muller in 1989.
This lineup is either Bayern or Real Madrid, Real Madrid or Arsenal. It is an all-rich lineup and is very powerful.
To be honest, even Chen Mo didn't want to run into Germany too early.
It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s mainly that I think the game with Germany and Piggy Muller is best played on a bigger stage.
However, some people do not believe in evil.
England is one of them.
Of course, England actually doesn't want to hit Germany in the top 16, but England has ruined itself.
In the group stage, they first tied with the United States and then with Algeria, forcing themselves to finish second in the group, only to run into Germany in the round of 16.
England is not weak, but they can't beat Germany.
England has a double midfielder, Gerrard and Lampard, which sounds famous, but is of no use.
Both Gerrard and Lampard are impact midfielders. Their strength is their vertical impact and their weakness is their weak organizational skills. Germany plays 4231.
The double midfielder is Xiaozhu plus Khedira. Piggy has a tough style, while Khedira is nearly 1.9 meters tall.
Shuangde will not gain any advantage by kicking them.
They can't hit the ball in the middle, and the two players in the middle are not organizational types and have insufficient passing ability to threaten the ball.
In this case, England under the 442 system needs support from both wings, but England's full-backs are not the top, and Germany's full-back is Lahm, who can compete for the number one full-back in history.
The middle lane cannot be penetrated, and the side lanes cannot be penetrated.
And Germany is currently playing 4231.
This formation is very strong in attacking the middle, especially Muller. This guy is really good at finding opportunities near the top of the arc, but England does not have a top midfielder and his ability to protect the top of the arc is not strong enough.
All the advantages were suppressed by the German team, and there was nothing we could do in the face of the German team's advantages.
There is no suspense, this game is very cruel.
Even Chen Mo, who was watching the game with his wife in the hotel, shook his head at the end of the game and lamented that the German team was too harsh.
Well, the final score was 6:1.
With the whole world in an uproar and under the watchful eyes of the tearful and confused England fans in the stands, the German team defeated England six to one.
The next morning, all the Dragon Kingdom fans who saw the news after waking up were stunned!
massacre!
German fans were excited, England fans were in tears, Dragons fans were confused, and Argentina fans were
It’s nervous and looking forward to it!
The German team and Argentina belong to the top half!
Argentina will face Germany in the quarterfinals!
