The Argentina national team has had three pain points since 2002.
The first is that there is no top high center.
The second is that defenders are generally not tall.
These two points are actually relatively easy to deal with. After all, although the Argentine forward is not very tall, he has delicate footwork and can penetrate the ball from the ground.
Even if the defender is not tall, he can use the defender line to coordinate with the midfielder to suppress the opponent in the midfield.
But the third question is more troublesome.
Argentina does not have a serious left winger.
Argentina's left winger in this game is Di Maria.
Di Maria can play on the left, but he is a left-footed player. More opportunities on the left come from crosses, but Argentina does not have a good high center.
Argentina's left side is not very lethal.
Germany also understands this. After the opening, their right midfielder was the relatively weaker Khedira, while the left midfielder stuck between Chen Mo and Messi was a piglet, and the German full-back on Messi's side Or Ram.
Obviously, Germany let Chen Mo contact Di Maria, but they had to block the contact between Chen Mo and Messi, and then let Muller Ozil and Kroos cover Chen Mo!
The idea is okay.
There is no way to form an effective connection with Messi, and the midfield partners are Ma Ge and Cambiasso, who are not strong in offensive ability. In this case, Chen Mo needs more ball control.
Pass it on, but it cannot be passed on.
To control, you have to be forced by many people.
At the beginning of the game, Chen Mo was indeed very uncomfortable.
Many Argentinian fans in the stands were silent, but soon after discovering that his first breakthrough was indeed difficult, under the gaze of fans around the world, Chen Mo called on Messi and Di Maria to retreat and stand parallel to him.
4231!
Argentina has also become 4231!
The fans' eyes lit up. On the sidelines, German coach Loew picked his nose even harder.
But he wasn't too shocked.
Under the 4231 formation, Chen Mo, Messi and Di Maria can pass the ball more smoothly, but Messi and Di Maria are also further away from the goal.
Now there is only one Higuain left in Argentina's forward line, and Higuain's finishing ability is not actually the best.
To put it bluntly, Chen Mo is trading the sharpness of the striker for the smoothness of the midfield. Now it depends on whether the German midfielder can handle the operation of the Argentine midfielder.
If it can be contained, Argentina will explode.
If you can't cover it, the German team will be GG.
This is all a conspiracy that can only depend on the player's personal strength and personal performance. Loew did not yell on the sidelines, but just stared at Chen Mo in the center of the court.
What Loew understands, Chen Mo also understands.
As Messi and Di Maria retreated, he began to play more aggressively and began to try more one-on-one to break through Khedira and Xiaozhu.
But I have to say that Germany is indeed very strong this year.
This strength is not only reflected in the personal strength of the players, but also because Germany has undergone a major change this year. The vast majority of the team are young people in their mid-twenties, and Klose on the striker is in his thirties.
There are more people of the same age group, and without a hierarchy within the team, the cohesion of the entire team will actually be higher.
Throughout the first half, Argentina had more than 73% of the ball, but they were still unable to break through the German team's goal.
On the one hand, Xiaozhu's assisting defense in the defensive midfielder position is very good. On the other hand, Lahm, a full-back in the top three levels in history, restricts Messi very well. Another point is that Germany's goalkeeper Neuer is indeed He was also strong. He made three great saves in the first half, which directly caused Higuain to doubt his life.
A bit troublesome.
Germany was the first tough opponent Argentina encountered in this World Cup. The atmosphere in the locker room at halftime was not very good, but the benefit of having a backbone in the team became apparent at this time.
Players like Zanetti Cambiasso, who is likely to be in the last World Cup, are emotionally agitated, but they dare not go against Chen Mo.
In other words, it's not that they don't dare, but because since 2006, Chen Mo has led them to win too many national team honors. Even seniors like them have unconditional trust in Chen Mo.
This is the foundation Chen Mo has laid in the hearts of all his teammates with every touch of the ball and his daily actions in the past seven years.
Under Chen Mo's guidance, the players quickly adjusted their mentality, but what Chen Mo didn't know was that the way he stood in front of the round table talking to everyone was also seen by the substitute goalkeeper Martin in the corner.
The bulging eyes like Teletubbies are full of adoration.
Chen Mo didn't care what little Martin was thinking. His entire attention was now on the game.
The main problem in the first half was that the finishing end was not strong enough. Higuain was indeed a bit weak in such a key competition, but the problem is, who should be used instead of Higuain.
Aguero?
To be honest, Aguero doesn't even have the confidence to take the initiative to play.
It's not because of lack of confidence in strength, but because Aguero's style makes it difficult to play 4231, especially 1 under Argentina's 4231 system.
Both Messi and Di Maria are wingers who are much stronger in offense than organization. In this case, Argentina's forwards not only have to eat cake in front of the goal, but also often need to retreat to get the ball with their backs, pulling the opponent's defender into a concave shape. This gives Messi and Di Maria space to move forward.
But Aguero is mainly a shooter. His finishing ability is more stable than Higuain, but his ability to hold the ball with his back is not very strong, and his passing ability is not as good as Higuain.
The situation was frozen.
If you continue to use Higuain, you may end up being dragged into a penalty shootout by Germany.
But without Higuain, who can guarantee that the effect will be better with Aguero?
This kind of decision is difficult to make. In the original timeline, in 2006, Pekerman replaced Riquelme, who was at the bottom of his physical strength, at halftime, and was directly criticized by the entire network.
The situation now is actually similar to that then.
Now it is Argentina versus Germany, and it seems that Argentina has the upper hand.
If Higuain replaces Aguero at this time, what will happen if we lose?
It's a little quieter indoors.
The players looked at each other in confusion, and the assistant coaching staff were scratching their heads and afraid to give suggestions, and finally looked at Lao Ma.
Are you looking at what I do?
Feeling the attention of everyone, Lao Ma also stopped in Bengbu.
His coaching ability was not strong, or even very weak, but he was also a ruthless person and knew that he could not let go at this time, so he coughed twice and looked at Chen Mo secretly.
"."
How could Chen Mo not know what he meant, so before Lao Ma could say anything, he proposed to try Aguero first, and if that didn't work, then use Milito to head the ball.
As soon as Chen Mo said this, everyone had different reactions.
Aguero was a little nervous, but soon seriously stated that he would do his best.
Higuain, who was sweating profusely, covered his face that was leaning back with a wet towel.
He didn't have any bad thoughts towards Chen Mo.
He indeed wasted too many opportunities in this game. If his finishing ability were even better, Argentina should be in the lead now.
In addition to self-blame, Higuain is actually more relaxed inside.
He has never been a big-hearted player. After losing a single goal in the 2014 World Cup final, he even quit playing and settled in the United States.
After failing to seize many opportunities in this game, he actually had a hard time playing.
Now that he has been replaced, he is actually a little lucky.
.
For the first time since this World Cup, they were completely defended by their opponents. After the start of the second half, the Argentine fans in the stands were a little worried, and the ones who were most worried were naturally Keli and Yueji Kaoru.
Chen Mo has not won the top championship in the past two years. They know that Chen Mo is actually under a lot of pressure and is holding his breath. In this case, after being tied with Germany in the first half, Chen Mo may have a mental state. Unstable situation.
Both girls were very worried and craned their necks to watch the game in the VIP seats, but after watching for a while, they felt relieved.
They are the ones who are most worried about Chen Mo, but they are also the ones who understand Chen Mo the best.
After the second half started, from Chen Mo's expression and body language, they saw a Chen Mo who was still calm.
Feeling much calmer, Yue Chixun took out a bottle of milk from her bag and handed it to Keli, who was already more than four months pregnant, and talked about a skirt she saw online yesterday.
The court was noisy, with two girls chattering there, and behind them, Chen Mo's cousins looked envious when they saw this scene.
To be honest, being good at football will not make people who don’t play football envious, but if you can make a lot of money playing football and find two such beautiful wives, then most people will envy you. .
Naturally, Chen Mo didn't know what his cousins were thinking, but he had similar thoughts to Yuechi Xun and Keli. Although Germany put a lot of pressure on him in the first half, his current mentality is still very stable.
Under the watchful eyes of all the fans, Chen Mo connected the whole team with his running and passing in an orderly manner.
At the same time, the effect of Aguero's appearance was immediate.
Aguero's functionality is not as comprehensive as Higuain, but his finishing ability is stronger than Higuain.
When Higuain was on the court, if Argentina pressed Germany 30 meters away, basically Germany would have a central defender guarding Higuain alone in the penalty area, and the other defender would be higher up to prevent Chen Mo from passing the midfielder at any time.
But things are different now. Aguero has a better sense of movement and stronger finishing ability. The German team does not dare to let the central defender defend alone.
With both central defenders trailing behind, the distance between the back line and the midfielder is enlarged. Similarly, because Aguero's retracement ability is not strong enough, Chen Mo now needs to break through to the German defender and back. The area between the waist!
Understanding all this, Chen Mo's desire to attack began to become stronger and stronger.
In the 68th minute of the game, Zanetti from the left made a direct pass to find Chen Mo in the attacking midfielder position.
Germany did not dare to prevent Chen Mo from easily taking the ball in this position. As soon as the ball was passed, Khedira rushed forward and did not give Chen Mo a chance to easily pass the ball forward.
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Chen Mo turned to the left without the ball, looking at the ball rolling from behind and the midfielder Khedira rushing from the front, trying to control the ball with his back, but in the next second , facing the ball rolling from the right front, Chen Mo tapped the outside of his right foot lightly, and then quickly turned to the left!
The ball rolled past the right side of Khedira who was on top, and the man rushed past Khedira's left side!
"The ball was passed! The ball was passed again! Khedira was tricked by Chen Mo!"
"Hey, this is what Chen Mo has been waiting for. Khedira is too aggressive."
"He probably thought that with his height of 1.9 meters, he could give Chen Mo enough physical suppression, but he didn't expect that Chen Mo wouldn't fight him at all! He just used his flexibility to kill him!"
The commentator yelled excitedly, and they were right.
Khedira is 1.9 meters tall, and his strength is definitely not much inferior to Chen Mo, but football is not all about strength. Chen Mo's ability to become the top three midfielders in history is not just about strength!
His physical fitness is strong and he is strong in all aspects!
Amid the cheers of the fans, Chen Mo passed the ball past Khedira and ran wildly with the ball. At this time, the little pig from the right front also came to fill in, but Chen Mo did not look at the little pig, but looked at the little pig. Behind the pig, there was Messi cutting to the top of the arc without the ball!
Khedira is out of position!
Piggy fills in!
Messi moves to take the position before Xiaozhu's replacement!
The opportunity is out, though!
Ram is here too!
While running wildly, Chen Mo could see Ram behind Messi!
It's also difficult for Messi to handle the pass!
Chen Mo saw this, and so did Lao Ma on the sidelines!
This guy's tactical ability is not strong, but his talent is really strong. He immediately yelled at the sidelines to ask Chen Mo not to pass the ball, but just as he said the words, Chen Mo, who was running wildly with the ball, just pointed the outside of his right foot and passed the ball. The ball goes to Messi!
"Damn! Is he nervous?!"
The moment Chen Mo passed the ball, Lao Ma grabbed the curly hair on his head with both hands, his face full of annoyance!
In his opinion, Chen Mo should not make such a mistake, but Chen Mo still did it. The only reason is that Chen Mo was nervous!
But in the next second, the whole audience was excited!
"What happened! Chen Mo didn't pass the ball to Messi! He passed the ball far away from the penalty area?!"
"Messi has to retreat to get the ball. They are going to do it. Messi! Messi passed the ball! Messi passed the ball with his left foot! The ball is hanging in the penalty area! Below is Chen Mo! Beautiful! Invincible tacit understanding!!! "
The commentator yells!
Under the gaze of all the fans including Lao Ma, Chen Mo did pass the ball to Messi, but he did not give the ball to his feet, but lightly. At the same time, while Chen Mo passed the ball, he was stuck by Lahm. Messi, who was accelerating towards the top of the arc, also stopped suddenly. He kicked his right foot to the left and moved sideways!
The ball has arrived!
The moment the ball rolled to his feet, looking at Chen Mo who was rushing towards the right side of the penalty area at full speed, Messi, whose center of gravity had completely flown off, hooked up his left calf and swung it down!
Shovel pass!
Rub the lower part of the ball with the instep!
Under the gaze of Messi, who was falling backwards, the ball with a violent backspin spiraled high into the right side of the German team's penalty area!
This is the direction Chen Mo is heading forward!
"Chen Mo jumped in!"
"Boateng is also chasing him! The two of them are fighting each other! Boateng can't resist Chen Mo at all!"
"Chen Mo's physical fitness is too strong! Is he going to volley?!"
Looking back to the left and looking at the falling ball, his right shoulder stuck Boateng to his side. Amidst the exclamations of the fans holding their heads in the audience, facing the falling ball from the left rear, the entire center of gravity was on the right side to suppress Boateng. Ateng's Chen Mo stepped on the ground with his right foot and fired a round-leg volley with his left foot!
Twist your belt and hips!
The ball isn't fast, but it's too close!
And the arc is extremely weird, spinning directly to the upper left corner of the goal!
Neuer, who was guarding the near post on the right, swooped out, but he could only watch the ball pass through his fingers!
"The ball has gone in! The ball has gone in! What kind of shot is this! He is carrying a person on his right shoulder and can shoot with his left foot?! Is he really a human?!"
"Flying from the sky!!! Oh my god! In the 68th minute of the game, Chen Mo broke through the German team's gate guarded by Neuer!"
"What a beautiful goal! With Chen Mo's shooting skills, he can really switch to playing center!"
"Hahaha, then I guess Manadola won't agree. But the tacit understanding between Chen Mo and Messi is really terrifying."
"Haha, are the Argentinian Geminis kidding you?"
The commentator shouted excitedly, and the Argentinian fans in the audience were excited. However, after scoring the goal, Chen Mo did not rush to the corner kick immediately. Instead, he laughed and pointed back at Messi!
He finished this goal beautifully, but the key point is that Messi can understand his thinking!
At that time, the two people only had a moment of eye contact, and Messi understood what he wanted to do, so he immediately changed from cutting inside to retreating and passing!
This feeling of connectedness is great!
