When the last match in Nigeria killed Iceland, countless Argentine fans cheered for their cheers. But today, Nigeria tortured Argentina for 86 minutes. I was scared that Maradona was too nervous to collapse on the sidelines (he entered the hospital after the game.... ..).
Croatia's 3-0 defeat to Argentina made it desperate. Today, it managed to kill Iceland in a righteous manner and allowed Argentina to qualify.
Friends and enemies are really changing...
But in the end, it was Argentina itself who finally got hold of it.
Croatia just gave them a fair stage, and they killed Nigeria and seized their destiny.
The last match in Argentina 343 was counterattacked by Croatia. Today, Sampoly finally changed course: 442, Higuain started.
But in fact it's a bit like 361: Left and right wing attacks. It's different.
Left-back Tagliafico always tries to plug in as much as possible. Di Maria is more like a left-wing free man. After Tagliafico goes up, Roach makes up his left. This will make up for the small scope of the activities of Higuain, so that he can feel secure.
On the right, Mecado and Perez both waited for Messi to withdraw from the organization and form a group pass; because Messi could attract three Nigerian players each time he took the ball, he tried to find the middle road to transition to the left to start the attack.
One advantage of this is that: the two sides guards do not have to rush to pressure, Barnega or Mascherano can always have a protection in the front of the defending center, so Argentina did not like the previous one, was Croatia's ribs.
The bad point is also obvious: After Messi retraced, only Higuain could grab the spot in the middle; if he couldn't push back, it would be the first two kinds of battles.
Nigeria is very clever: the midfield front moved back, compressing the space between the two lines in the middle and back, so Messi won't get the ball if he doesn't pull back, and faces the double wall when he pulls back.
So stalemate. Argentina scored two goals, one with a long pass and the other with a pass.
Argentina was first sentenced to a very penalty penalty and was knocked down twice in the penalty area but did not get a penalty, but then Rodriguez didn't intentionally rub his head down and didn't get a penalty - Nigerians also chased the referee. For a moment, it's also greedy - it's just equal.
Mascherano did not play well, but his struggle was the real epitome of Argentina in this field: bleeding from his brow bone wounds, from scratch to the end of the game, and whenever he had to argue with the referee, he referred to His own brow, that means: "I've been kicked like this and you didn't judge you!"
As mentioned above, because of the battle against Nigeria's double-walled city wall, Argentina can only keep on changing sides. The goal of Iguin’s 81-minute shooter resembles that of Gomez, who was saved the day before yesterday. It was filled with “If you were cursed today, are you considering giving it up?”
However, Argentina continued and finally found Roger in the cross of Mercado.
Finally Heaven rewards.
In the first two games, Argentina wanted to rely on the genius (Dybala, Aguero)'s offense (343 formation) to get it; it wasn't a success; today Argentina is fighting all the way, and 18 passes are like unwillingness. The siege hammer finally came to an end and the city gate opened.
Heaven is rewarded with diligence. As soon as the bullets made their way to the end of their lives, they finally made a loud noise.
Say Messi.
The 14-minute goal was his own personal salvation. After all, he had scored a penalty against Iceland. He needs to have such a performance for Croatia. Although he has proved himself again and again, the world is very forgetful. He always hopes that he will continue to give great performances.
Barnega long pass, Messi stopped the ball with the flanks, unloaded, scored a right foot shot.
This ball is a bit like the shot taken by Bergkamp after 20 years ago against Argentina. It's certainly not so gorgeous, but it is not difficult. A 31-year-old Messi ran counterattack. The 170-cm person took a long distance pass. The left-hander shot with his right foot and did not do what he was good at, but he scored a goal.
As for the script that can lock the game's free kick, it can only be said to be God's purpose.
But the benefits of his game are more than that.
He had only two shots in the audience: one goal and one foot at the goal post. At other times, he was very busy. He touched the ball more than the third time in 0.92. He passed seven players and was knocked down five times. He continued to withdraw and actually acted as the initiator of a right-wing attack.
After he gathered firepower in Nigeria, he retransmitted to the left.
In fact, at the last moment of the game, Messi was a mid-way ferrying axle. His presence squashed Nigeria's two back-to-back lines and hollowed out the left side of Nigeria.
Although the first half did not form a single point for Higuain's foot, but Messi was indeed in scoring, with his own presence in line with the two wings of Argentina.
After scoring a goal, he scored his fingers and thanked God. At the same time, Maradona, on the sidelines, had always turned against Mardona. His hands and shoulders looked at the sky and it was true that the fate was to give Is his hard work rewarded?
The reward was that of Roger's goal. Argentina came through.
Oh, right.
Rojo's surname is Rojo, and anyone who knows Spanish knows it. It means red. The Red Sea is Mar Rojo.
The 11th goal for Nigeria is called Moses Moses.
Messi's surname Messi can be traced back to the Messiah.
So this game, I can write to Argentine fans such a version of the savior legend:
Unlike the legend, Moses prevented the Argentinean from fleeing Africa, but the Messiah No. 10 emerged, separated the Red Sea and led the people out of desperation.
The people of Argentina met with the Messiah No. 10. How they dealt with Africans with great power. They no longer feared Moses, turned to fear the Messiah, convinced him and saved the Red Sea.
From then on, they will pray that the command of the Messiah No. 10 will be on the football field, if they are in the sky.
