"We tried our best, the Greek team played quite well technically and tactically, we kept them in the half for the whole game, but Messi left the field with an injury and the other players were not in good shape, which hurt Argentina." Maradona's face was dejected at the press conference, and his expression was very ugly.

He kept clasping his ears with the index finger of his left hand, as if his ears had been itching all the time, and he never stopped doing this.

The king of the ball doesn't care what he does no matter what the occasion.

"I know a lot of people think we deliberately didn't win, but that speculation is pretty ridiculous! At this moment, I am angrier than anyone else because I never accept defeat and from the beginning of my game for Argentina I want the team to do everything and win every game for the team! ”

He pouted and spread his hands: "But football is like that, it's not because you're strong that you can win, we have to get used to it." ”

"Like me, Messi was indignant, I originally let him play the whole game, but there was an accident in the first half, and I was worried that his injury would worsen, so I resolutely replaced him. Believe me, he's really upset, he wants to score, he wants to be the top scorer in the World Cup, I can understand that feeling, but for the sake of the whole of Argentina I have to do it because we all want a healthy Messi and go and win the World Cup. ”

'Now we should be thinking about the knockout rounds, we are against China, we have to be ready to face them, knowing that they are Group A but we are confident of knocking them out. They have one talent, but we have 11 talents, and that's where our strength lies. ”

'We have Messi, Aguero, Tevez, Pastorere, Di Maria, Gago, Lavic...... I can't count on two fingers. ”

"We will tell China in the knockout round that we can advance to the quarterfinals."

11 geniuses, Maradona is Chiguoguo and doesn't take the Chinese team seriously. What is the Chinese team with a Dong Fangzhuo? We have so many talents, we can beat the Chinese team hard and advance to the quarterfinals, and that's what Maradona meant.

Maradona also brought his son-in-law Aguero to the press conference, and Aguero also expressed his opinion: "It's unfortunate to lose to Greece, but we are still in the World Cup, we are now thinking about the knockout match with the Chinese team, a few days later, I think we will try to enter the top 8, I will never forget the pain of losing the Olympic final, so the knockout match with the Chinese team will be a battle of revenge, I think Messi thinks the same way, we met the best opponent, this is God's arrangement!" ”

Sergio Aguero is also deeply remembered for the defeat in the Olympic final, and they are full of hatred for China.

Subsequently, Argentina also avoided the important and trivialized.

"Quarter-final opponents! China! Argentina's "Clarion" made a report and outlook: "In the third round of the group stage, Argentina pressed the Greek team to bomb indiscriminately, but finally lost 0:1, winning or losing does not affect Argentina's advancement to the round of 16 of the World Cup, but because of a blessing in disguise, we met the Chinese team, the old hatred and the new hatred, and the Chinese team to play the knockout round may be a fate, but also the best result." Avoiding Uruguay and playing China, Argentina also entered the top half, and as long as nothing happens, Argentina should be able to go far, far away......"

How far can you go?

The Herald put it in more detail: "After winning China and advancing to the quarterfinals, Argentina's opponents are not strong, and it doesn't matter who wins Ghana or the United States, and then advance to the semi-finals, which may meet Brazil or the Netherlands." Either way, this is the most anticipated World Cup for Argentines. ”

The Herald seems to have smelled the top four of the World Cup, did not take the Chinese team seriously at all, and 'reminded' the people, "We were defeated by the Chinese Olympic team in the Olympic Games, and this time, the national team must take revenge!" When Messi proved himself, he finally knew that the strongest teammates in the whole of Argentina were by his side, and if he couldn't beat the Chinese Dong, then this year's Ballon d'Or was in danger again. ”

"El Nacional" believes that Maradona's luck is quite good: "Some people say that Argentina deliberately lost the game, but in the game we saw that every player wanted to win for Argentina, everyone did their best, but God needed us to go to China, so we went." Maradona had good luck as Argentina managed to reach the coveted top half and meet China, and if all goes well, Argentina could reach at least the last four in this World Cup. If Messi had been more powerful, maybe we would have won the 2010 World Cup. ”

Several major newspapers did not say that Maradona's team played match-fixing, all looking forward to the future of Argentina in the World Cup, and even the president of the Argentine Football Association, Grondona, stood up and reprimanded the irresponsible reports of other national media: "The European media are always so irresponsible, because they can't see the good of the South American team, everyone who watched the game knows that Argentina has done its best, but luck is not on our side, their groundless speculation is extremely disrespectful to Greece, everyone is fighting for the World Cup, It's just that Argentina unfortunately lost. ”

"These gossips can't stop Argentina, Argentina will always fight for the championship!"

In Asia, Koreans are going crazy with laughter because they feel that the Korean team has done a great thing and created a new football history for the Korean team.

"Top of the group, beat Argentina! Pride of Asia! South Korea's Dong-A Ilbo reported the news on the front page of the headline, "South Korea defeated Nigeria 2-0 to beat World Cup favorites Argentina to become the top of the group, which is a great victory in the history of Korean football, and the Korean team has proved to the world that Asian teams can also be better than South American teams!" ”

"Chosun Ilbo" continued to plaster South Korea's face: "In Asia, not only the Chinese team can do the first place in the group, South Korea can also win the group, China defeated the unmotivated French team, and South Korea is riding on the head of the World Cup favorite!" ”

The South Korean media is very shameless, because they forgot that they lost to Argentina in the group stage......

However, Chinese who are familiar with South Korea are accustomed to it, and it is not surprising that they even say that football was invented in Korea......

The same is true of South Korean fans, who have spoken online praising their national team.

"We don't have superstars, but we have a better team."

"Beating Uruguay and qualifying for the last eight doesn't look like an impossible task. We want to repeat the glory of the 2002 World Cup. ”

Tian is shameless, they have never thought about how the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup came about.

Uruguay is a contradiction in the country, after all, they have a great advantage in playing South Korea, but after playing South Korea, they are likely to meet Germany, which seems to be a tragedy of advantage.

If Uruguay are in the top half, they will play Argentina directly, which seems to be more risky, and if they win against Argentina, it will be an easy road......

So they don't pay that much attention to the results of Group B, they don't have a choice, they can only be in the bottom half......

And in Europe, it's another picture, especially in the English media, because England and Argentina have a national feud, because of the war in the Falklands, the two countries are basically hostile at any level, so their reports revolve around negative news.

The Times directly pointed out: "Match-fixing! Cowardly ball king, dirty Argentina! ”

The same headline shows that the reason for their 1-0 defeat in Argentina is all due to the conspiracy: "Argentina have 10,000 reasons not to lose the game, but they still lost, why?" Because they don't want to be in the bottom half, they want to meet the Chinese team, it's not that they want revenge, but the team in the top half is very weak, as long as they get the second place in the group, they can basically reach the semi-finals smoothly, so Maradona and his team played a dirty game, and the whole team revolved around losing! ”

The Daily Mail had the same point of view: "Concocting Messi off the field and then deliberately losing the game is all Maradona's tricks, as disgusting and dirty as his hand of God back then!" ”

The Guardian noted: "It all started three days ago, when a lot of the media thought Argentina would deliberately lose the game and then let South Korea win the group, and then they naturally went to the top half of the table and met their favorite team." ”

The Sun took great pains to point out: "In the dressing room, Maradona even told his players that we were going to lose, lose, lose!" Then, the result is a loss. ”

Of course, reports like The Sun are irresponsible, because they can't possibly know what's going on in the Argentine dressing room, it's all apocryphal, but do they matter? It doesn't matter, because that's what many fans guess and think, Argentina just has a problem.

Although the German newspaper "Bild" did not say that Maradona led the team to deliberately lose the game, their mockery was unmistakable: "The Argentines should snicker at the unexpected loss to Greece, because they are likely to meet Germany in the quarter, we believe that they are afraid of us, and now, they should be glad that they went to a relatively easy half." ”

The French "Team Daily" was very envious: "The same people don't have the same fate...... If France can have such a choice, they will not go home in the group stage, but Argentina lost to Greece, such a result is really doubtful, and I believe that FIFA will intervene in the investigation. ”

The Spanish media also had a mocking tone, because Spain was also in the bottom half, and the newspaper Marca mocked: "Messi fled the bottom half with Argentina, they were lucky, the opponent was actually the Chinese team, no matter what, they can reach the quarterfinals." ”

Only the Chinese media appear to be very innocent.

Tencent Sports posted: "It's too fake, obviously the opponent of the Chinese team is the South Korean team, but it turned out to be Argentina, Argentina definitely played a match-fixing, they just deliberately lost the game, they deliberately wanted to play with the Chinese team." ”

Sohu.com: "In these years, the king of the ball can't believe it, Maradona is clearly letting the team lose, don't look at his indignant face at the press conference, in fact, he is acting, the routine is too deep." ”

People's Daily: China VS Argentina, a reenactment of the Olympic final! Old hatred and new grudges come together, Argentina thinks China is easy to bully? This war is uncertain who will win, I believe that Crouchen and Dong Fangzhuo have already prepared!

The official FIFA website had to stand up and express its opinion at the first time: we followed closely throughout the game, there were no problems with this game, it was a game with more than enough excitement and not enough intensity. What is certain is that the first two knockout matches of the World Cup have come out, that is, Uruguay vs South Korea, China vs Argentina......
