MM Racing Chapter 317
Chapter 317
As it turned out, Argentina's defense could not limit Xunin's play.
Even without too much support from his teammates, Xu Ning can single-handedly upset the Argentine defense.
Not to mention that Xu Ning now has excellent teammates by his side.
Now, the situation is completely against Argentina!
To get rid of the backward situation, it is inevitable to increase the offensive intensity, which will lead to the deficiencies of the rear air defense, leaving more opportunities for Portugal to counterattack!
But if you give up a big attack, Portugal will kill time more than you.
Portugal's sophisticated tactics and near-incomprehensible configuration leave Argentina with no choice at all!
What to do?
Before he was powerless, Messi realized what his problem was.
He is not a particularly resolute person!
It is difficult for him to arouse the will to fight among his teammates and himself in a time of crisis!
Rubbing the captain's armband on his left arm, Messi's eyes dropped, and he felt sorry for the captain's armband, which had been passed down from generation to generation.
He can keep fighting, but he can't bring all his teammates together.
Just then, Mascherano stood up and clapped his hands vigorously to tell his teammates not to care, they had to cheer up.
At Barca, Mascherano is actually captain, but not in that order.
Compared to Messi, Mascherano, nicknamed the Beast, is more outstanding in this regard.
In fact, the best way to use Messi is to make him an absolute tactical core, but to match him with a team leader, a leader who can convince the public.
Let Messi not focus his energy on what he is not good at.
Interestingly, before Xu Ning crossed over, Argentina had just lifted the Hercules Cup.
That Argentina is more civilians than it is now.
But as Messi is likely to be the last World Cup, his teammates are willing to fight hard for Messi, and the fighting power shown is simply amazing.
Sure enough, things are unpredictable!
Portugal ended the celebration and returned to their own half ready to restart the game.
Although the match has not yet reached 10 minutes, for the Portuguese the final is no different from the other games that have been won by their opponents before.
The big picture is in hand!
The initiative of the game is firmly in their hands!
Argentina will face the same situation as its rivals.
Savilla did not make tactical adjustments, but simply arranged for Nzo Perez to do more receptions, adjusting to details.
After all, before the goal, it was Argentina who were attacking and taking the initiative, which showed that their attack could threaten Portugal.
In this situation, being conservative means throwing in the towel.
Instead of making promises, it is better to strike hard.
Even if you lose... No, they won't lose!
Savilla's conviction has also infected the players on the pitch, who have come out of the loss and blow of conceding goals and their morale has risen significantly.
The referee blew the whistle and the game resumed.
Messi gave the ball to Higuain and Argentina opened up again to attack Portugal.
But the bad thing about Argentines is that Portugal doesn't play with you at all!
Even the high-pressure pressing at the beginning was gone, and all the players retreated to the half court to participate in the defense, and even Xu Ning was active near the center line.
Make it clear for you to attack, then catch you and fight back!
Tainyima chicken thief!
Seeing this scene, all the Argentine fans began to scold the mother!
Obviously, Portugal just sees that Argentina has to attack this point, just wait for the rabbit!
If Argentina's attack was slightly blocked, it was likely to face an unlimited Portuguese counterattack.
But Argentina still had to attack!
This is very bad!
But now Argentina has no way to think too much, because there is only one path in front of them.
In the 11th minute, Messi received a small range of consecutive dunks on the right flank and changed direction, getting rid of Coentrão's defense, even if Coentrão failed to stop Messi with a foul.
After the breakthrough, Messi continued to walk along the ribs with the ball while looking up to observe the position in the box.
Higuain was restricted by Pepe, and although it cannot be said that his personal freedom was restricted, it was obviously difficult to get opportunities to run in the box.
Ravitch was no better, and Bruno Alves kept a closer eye on him.
The two strikers couldn't help him.
Behind him, the three backs are not forward types, and there is no way to give him effective support.
Messi is helpless, this Argentine national team's shortcomings are too obvious!
Or rather, the Argentine national team is like this most of the time.
The attacking group is terrifying, but there is no good midfield to feed the ball.
If it goes on like this, he will have to play in playmaking midfield.
Although helpless, the game has to continue, and his thin body still has to carry Argentina forward.
With the ball dribbling along the ribs, Meréreles stepped in on the left side, and with Coentrão, who was chasing behind him, Messi fell into the front and back pockets.
But Messi is not timid, and has been caught by opponents too many times throughout his career, and has long been accustomed to it.
If this is also worth the fuss, then there is no need to live at all.
Sharply tilting the center of gravity to the right front, he made a feint to continue to break through to the outside, attracting Merelese to tackle and block.
But the next second, Messi jerked the ball back, and his right heel slammed the ball to the left.
Then the body completed the change of direction with great flexibility, and directly dodged the truncation of Mereliles.
And Coentrão behind him was obviously shaken, and did not react to Messi's change of direction and did not keep up at all.
To the cheers of all the Argentine fans, Messi has already entered the box from the corner of the big penalty area.
In desperation, Pepe could only wave his hand to signal his teammates to make up for the defense, and then greeted him himself.
Inevitably, Portugal's defence suffered a brief freeze due to rotation.
Bruno Alves will come to defend Higuain, and Pereira on the right will have to defend Ravic.
But it takes time!
Messi saw this moment and sent Higuain a straight kick when there was a brief defensive gap beside Higuain.
Higuain shot like a tiger, successfully reversed the offside, and actually got the ball to face Patricio and formed a single knife.
Messi's very spiritual and artistic straight ball simply made everyone high!
Feeding the pie to this extent, it is simply the dad of the striker!
Even if it is changed to a second-rate center, this kind of single knife can be scored as long as it is not flustered.
The bold center of the artist dared to shake past the goalkeeper and hit the empty goal.
As a leading centre-forward in world football, Higuain certainly won't miss an opportunity like this.
All the Argentine fans couldn't help but start chanting and celebrating their equaliser!
Scoring this goal, perhaps many people will forget Messi's pass, and Higuain will become a hero for the whole of Argentina.
However, no one expected that at this critical moment, Higuain actually began to think about life!
