Chapter 434 Here is a guy who makes you look up (ask for a monthly pass)
However, it is true that they did not play in the national team, although they showed the style of the South American king in the World Cup qualifiers a few years later, but they did not even appear in the group stage in the World Cup, leaving only the veteran Batistuta sitting on the bench crying, and then, like the famous song - "Argentina, don't cry for me......
It seems that everyone does not know much about the Argentine Olympic team, the main thing is that these players do not play in Europe, but in South America, but in fact, many players have made a name for themselves in South America.
Saviola, who is known as the Rabbit, has had a brilliant start to his career, becoming River Plate's main striker at the age of 18 and winning the South American Footballer of the Year, setting a record for the youngest gentleman. Argentina's talented goalscorer, short in stature, incredibly fast, strong in scoring and assisting, is a headache for all defenders.
Rabbit's lifelong best friend, Aimar, the idol of future superstar Messi. Aymar can play as a midfielder, has a delicate style and excellent technique, is top-notch in his dribbling and passing skills, and has a tricky and imaginative shot. He can both organize attacks and score on breakouts. Even the football king Diego Maradona once said that Aimar's style of play is the closest to him.
Anyway, Maradona has a pair of successors, from Ortega, to Aimar, Dalessandro, and then to Messi. Unlike the later Argentina with a bunch of No. 9s, Argentina at this time had a bunch of No. 10 players.
Dalessandro is also in this team, nicknamed El cabezon, which means "big head", although he is small in stature, he is excellent in terms of speed, strength and physical strength, and when he made his mark in the Argentine River Plate, some people called him Maradona Jr., and was regarded as the successor of the future Argentine national team No. 10.
The three guys above are from the traditional Argentine giants River Plate, and the guy below is Boca's, Juan RomΓ‘n Riquelme.
Riquelme is often praised for being able to dance on a stamp. His scalpel short-range passes, his brilliant free-kick skills, small-range dribbling and passing, accurate long-range shots are his signatures, and what is even more memorable is his seemingly slow, but in fact hides a killer pass. He can either break down the flanks and cross through the middle. Unlike Diego Maradona, Riquelme spends much less time running than he does with the ball, while he can play the role of a striker near the penalty area and play the ball and link up for his team-mates. Riquelme's most striking feature is that he is extremely malleable and can play different roles under different coaches.
The four guys above, if you use data to set them? Shots, passes, dribbles are all 9, world-class! Argentina has always had such a fine tradition, and the front court is picturesque. But at this time, Argentina also has a perfect midfield. Cambiaso, Demichelis, and Presente were all quite amazing when they debuted.
Zheng Zhi always felt that they would meet an angry Argentine Olympic team and would not be able to participate in this year's World Youth Championships, and it is estimated that everyone will hold their breath. Now many teammates of the national Olympic team are floating, it is a good thing to meet the Argentine Olympic team, and it would be good if I could pour cold water on the Chinese Olympic team.
Luckily, there's another guy who thinks the same as him, and that's head coach Houghton. In the subsequent tactical meeting, Horton directly brainwashed everyone.
"I want you to see a South American team. You may not have any impression of this Argentine Olympic team, but I can tell you that tomorrow's game is not only one Asian Footballer, but also a South American Footballer, and this gentleman has three very good attackers next to him, and in my opinion, the strength of the Argentine Olympic team is far better than the strength of the Spanish Olympic team, these are two different styles of football. β
'The defensive attitude we showed against Spain was tough enough, but it wasn't enough! We need to show more against Argentina. They would attack like crazy, they would tear up our defenses like crazy, we might even forget about attacking, and we would only be left with defense, and their defense was pretty rough. That's what makes South American football special, that's why we're here to play against them, we have to adapt to European football and South American football. β
"They're like a couple of Maradona Jr. on the pitch playing football......"

It is rare that in terms of tactics, Horton finally abandoned 442 and played 4312 instead, the goalkeeper and the back line have not changed, the three backs are Zhao Junzhe, Li Yin, Sui Xiliang, the front is Zheng Zhi, and the forwards Qu Peng and Li Jinyu. A lineup that focuses on defense is definitely going to play defensive counterattacks.
"Zheng, you can't just attack in the midfield position, most of the time you have to defend."
"You're the hub of offense and defense."
Although Zheng Zhi was put in the forward position, Horton still gave Zheng Zhi more tasks, and he absolutely wasted Zheng Zhi's offensive talent, and he will not waste his defensive talent......
"We only have the tactic of defending and counter-attacking, and we have no other choice."
"Qu," Horton's gaze fell on Qu Peng.
"We need your speed."
Qu Peng is the fastest player in the Chinese Olympic team, and it is inevitable to rely on Qu Peng's speed. In fact, there is another guy whose speed is not slow, that is Li Yi, but Li Yi is not as reliable as Qu Peng, the last game of stopping the ball made Horton too chilling, he still doesn't trust Li Yi, when will Li Yi practice his basic skills of stopping the ball......
When the translator conveyed Horton's words, the expression on Li Yi's face was obviously a little embarrassed, and he believed that if he could seize the opportunity in the last game and stop the ball to complete the shot, Horton would let him start with Qu Peng. However, there is no what if......
Another frustrated man was Zhang Yuming, who also had a terrible performance in the last game, and the European defenders made him play very hard. Maybe he can go sideways in A A, but abroad, he is nothing, although Li Jinyu has no physical advantage, his running position makes Horton like it, after all, he is a guy who has been mixed in France.
Shao Jiayi was also thrown into the substitute by Horton because of his strong attack......
Coincidentally, the Argentine Olympic coach is also studying the Chinese Olympic team.
"I believe you all know that this Chinese Olympic team defeated the world junior champion Spain. You may still scoff at it, but please bow your proud heads. We didn't make it to the Youth Championship, it's really not because of our strength, but because we didn't play our strength because we weren't united enough, we weren't a unit. β
At 50 years old, Pekerman is already full of gray hair, which is a bit early for a man of his age.
"Some of you have won the Argentine league, even the Copa Libertadores, and there are a lot of personal honors, but you have only conquered South America. But South America is no longer the center of world football, Europe is! β
"For a professional footballer, no matter how big the accolades are in South America, the world will not be recognised, look at the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year winners, all of them are in Europe. So, if you want to be at the top, you have to beat everybody, everybody, outside of South America. β
"Coincidentally, there is a guy in this Chinese Olympic team that you look up to."
"China Zheng."
Aimar's eyes shone with a smart light, and he said Zheng Zhi's name.
"That's right, it seems that you don't pay much attention to European football, and it's Zheng of China, who is known as one of the best young midfielders in Europe. And you, as the best young midfielder in South America, have to win this war. Don't think that this is just a friendly match, if you win, your name will definitely appear in the European media, and it will be praise, if you lose, your name will only become the background for them to praise the Chinese Zheng, and at home? You will be reviled and said to be useless. β
"The good news is that because China beat Spain, tomorrow's game has attracted quite a lot of European scouts in the stands, and if you perform well enough, then you may be favored by Europe and come to Europe to play in advance!"
"The bad news is that once you get nothing, then you have to go back to miserable Argentina and sit in front of the TV and continue looking up at your idols."
"So, you should know how to do it."
"We must defeat China Zheng, defeat China! They only have one Zheng, and we have the best three No.10s in South America, and one of the best strikers, so if we can't beat China? Then all I can say is, sorry, you guys are not ready to go to Europe. β
Undoubtedly, Pekerman's words played a great role in stimulating the eyes, and everyone's eyes flashed with a burning gaze, and defeating Zheng Zhi and defeating China became the only thought in their hearts.
"I've seen a lot of Zheng's game footage and I think we have at least 3.5 players in the squad who are better than him."
"Nicholas, Roman, Pablo, you're all better than him." These were the three in Pekerman's eyes, and the other half he didn't say, just glanced at the others.
'I'm just talking about the offensive side, if it's the defensive side, we don't have players like that at the moment.
"But what I want to say is that it's not like having three better players to beat a good player, 1+1 doesn't necessarily equal 2, it can be less than 2. You have to work together instead of focusing on individual performances. β
"Remember, winning is our common goal, and as long as we win as a team, it means that we are doing just as well individually."
Pekerman's biggest concern is, of course, that the players get bogged down in a solo show......
"Nicholas, Pablo, I hope you two can be closely united by Roman's side."
One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, although Aimar and Dalessandro are in the same riverbed, but the two often look like each other, plus a Boca's Riquelme, this midfield combination does have some headaches, although it seems to be very strong, but if you don't unite, the effect can't be played.
The three of them nodded at this point, in order to be able to set foot on European soil as soon as possible, they must unite......
