Chapter 198: Defend with all your might

******

From the beginning of the players' tunnel, Messi focused on the body of Iroh in front of him, his fists clenched so tightly that if Aguero was next to him, he would definitely think that Messi was going to be angry......

In fact, this is not the case, but Messi has regarded Ielo as the object he wants to surpass since the end of that round of La Liga.

Especially the goal that Ailo beat Barcelona, so that he never let go, he himself chased dozens of meters without catching up, and finally even made the action of tackling people behind his back, but he still did not stop the opponent.

This is a great shame for him!

It didn't take long for him to retract his gaze and follow the team in front of him onto the pitch.

……

……

When the Chinese national youth team stepped into the court, the Chinese cheering group above the players' tunnel instantly seemed to be full of strength, shouting hoarsely: "Come on, Chinese team!" ”

"Come on, Chinese team!"

"Come on, Chinese team!!"

……

……

The starters, led by Feng Xiaoting and Ailuo, were all subconsciously stunned.

That's what our fans are!!

So we can't let them down!!

We want to keep our promises!!

Give back to the fans!!

All the players clenched their fists, eager for the match to begin.

******

Once the game began, the Argentines on the pitch quickly discovered that it seemed that the Chinese in front of them were not playing against them as their head coach Francisco Ferraro had expected.

Because, when the Argentine players get the ball, the Chinese players will quickly retreat to the 40-meter area of their own side, leaving a Gao Lin in the middle to harass them, while Ailo runs around to confuse the other party.

Even more surprising than the Argentine players on the pitch was their head coach, Francisco Ferraro.

This...... Is this still the most attacking Chinese team in this World Youth Championships?

Is it the rhythm of the bucket formation that it is so orderly in front of its own defensive line?

Just as unexpected as Francesco Ferraro were the commentators in the studio at the Hagewald Stadium.

He Wei frowned, looked at the Chinese team sticking to his half, and subconsciously said, "This ...... The team looks like it's going to play defense? But...... Didn't the team all focus on offense before? This is the conversion? Will it cause confusion about the ability of the players on the field to execute the tactics? ”

His worries are not unreasonable, changing tactics before the game is a taboo for soldiers!

But then he was relieved, after all, this is the final of the World Youth Championships, which means that if you win, you will win the championship, and if you lose, you will have nothing...... After all, this is a cup competition, there is a saying that is very true, the attack wins the fans, but it is the defense that determines the championship, and the Argentine national youth team has a lot of experience in the World Youth Championship finals, which is not comparable to our national youth team......"

After Sister He Wei finished speaking, the fans sitting in front of the TV in China put their minds at ease, after all, this is a game to decide the championship, there is no need to play against Argentina in order to please the fans and spectators, it is not worth it!

Only the final victory is the most important thing!!

******

As the World Youth Championship progressed, Messi's form became better and better, but this game he met Waterloo, in the first five minutes, he tried to break through several times, but were cut off by the densely populated Chinese national youth team, and then unreasonably drove the ball forward, allowing Iroh to look for opportunities.

This...... It's a complete scoundrel's play!

Francisco Ferraro thought speechlessly.

And Crowchen, who was in front of the coach's seat next to him, crossed Erlang's legs, leisurely watching the game on the field, looking like he was holding the chance to win.

In fact, in his mind, what he is most satisfied with is not the team's offense, but the team's defense.

The reason why so many goals can be scored in the first six games of the World Youth Championship is only because of Ailuo's perverted state, he scored 12 goals in six games, and Gao Lin also scored 8 goals with Ailo picking up chickens behind him, so he has the title of "offensive madness", but this is not the case, and the rock-solid defense is the guarantee to ensure the team's goals.

Joining Messi are Gago and Zabaleta, with one being an aura as a central midfielder and the other as a well-balanced wing-back, both of whom need space to play their respective roles.

And the space they needed was taken up by the defensive formation of the Chinese national youth team.

Argentina's current best footwork is Messi, although the figure is not high, but the footwork is very outstanding, and the distance between people and the ball is very good, but ...... Under the tight defense of the Chinese national youth team, they can't open the deadlock, let alone them.

So, Francisco Ferraro's brow furrowed.

He's trying to figure out how to break the game.

In this case, the deadlock can only be opened if the first goal is scored, but ...... How to break the game? But Francisco Ferraro racked his brains and couldn't come up with an effective solution.

Against a team that is fully defensive, there is no good way in the whole world.

A set-piece?

Francisco Ferraro subconsciously shook his head, Argentina has a lot of players under 1.8 meters, the highest is the central defender Garay, but his task is to defend Ailo, after all, the title of the top scorer in La Liga is not to be seen, and twelve goals in six games are also genuine, so he does not dare to let the team go out to play.

Moreover, Argentina has always been a tradition of passing and cutting on the ground, and he didn't dare to let the team change his style lightly, otherwise even if he won the game, he would be scolded to death by those tricky fans in China.

Long shot?

There are so many people in front of the goal, shoot a hair!

As a result, the situation on the field came to an impasse.

The Chinese national youth team is defending with all its might, and the Argentine national youth team is trying to use various methods to pry through the defense of the Chinese national youth team and score goals.

******

Every time the Chinese national youth team kicked forward, the Argentine fans in the stands broke out in a cold sweat, because every time the ball went forward, the No. 7 Iello of the Chinese national youth team would desperately fight for control of the football.

Although the Argentine national youth team has stockpiled three defenders at the back, there is always a feeling of crumbling from the eyes of the fans in the stands.

Aello's ability is there, so the three defenders of the Argentine national youth team on the field can deeply feel the pressure he exudes, which Garay, who has the most contact with Aello, feels the most.

Ailuo is not only fast, but also physically not weak, not to mention the confrontation ability, the key is that the bounce power is also very good, often when Garay gets stuck in the position, he can also rely on his excellent bounce force to force Garay to ferry the ball to Gao Lin who responds to him.

If it weren't for Gao Lin's ball control skills, which were a bit rough, the Chinese national youth team would have been able to play a quick counterattack.

……

……

Ten minutes later, Messi gradually adapted to the defensive play of the Chinese team, did not continue to try individual breakthroughs, he is a smart person, he prefers to use his brain when playing, so he consciously reduced dribbling and tried more to cooperate with his teammates.

Slowly, Zhao Xuri and Feng Xiaoting also discovered the changes in Argentina, like before, the opportunity for the two to jointly break the ball has decreased a lot, and in the end, it ...... The Argentine players have given up on going it alone.

Francisco Ferraro nodded with satisfaction, he also saw the changes in the team, the changes on the field were not made by themselves, but by the players on the field themselves according to the situation on the field.

Fortunately, he is a cheerful coach, and he advocates that young players are good at making changes when they are playing, after all, the situation on the field is always changing in an instant, and the manager's tactics are not omnipotent, so more often than not, he still has to rely on the players' inspiration.

And the national youth team in front of him happens to be such a team.

The ability to self-adjust is very strong, and individual players on the field will definitely become the pillars of the Argentine national team in the future.

******

The Chinese team was at an absolute disadvantage in the first fifteen minutes, of course...... That's just what the fans in the stands thought, and from their eyes they saw the Argentine players in blue and white striped shirts in possession.

In fact, Argentina's effective possession of the ball was 30 meters away, and the shot that could actually threaten the goal of the Chinese national youth team has not happened so far.

From a professional point of view, both sides are in a fairly balanced state.

One offense and one defense.

"Beautiful!"

He Wei said excitedly.

Messi tried to cooperate with Zabaleta just now, fullback Tan Wangsong was a little light, Messi passed the ball to Zabaleta and ran violently to the Chinese team, he did not retreat at the first time when Messi passed, but chose to hit Zabaleta with fullback Chen Tao.

What Tan Wangsong didn't expect was that the latter had no intention of stopping the ball, and with a push of the arch of his foot, the football flew past the left side of his forward, and the football just faced the route that Messi inserted forward.

At that moment - the Argentine fans in the stands immediately exclaimed.

Because Feng Xiaoting was very focused, Messi predicted that the two were going to play an inverted triangle before passing the ball, so he stuck Messi's forward position and left the ball at his feet.

"From the first fifteen minutes of the game, the best of the table is undoubtedly the captain Feng Xiaoting, his many advance predictions, the team's potential danger is all resolved, here we can see his excellent defensive awareness and defensive boldness......

He Wei saw Feng Xiaoting's unhurried expression from the big screen in the studio, and he also subconsciously clenched his fists while explaining, as if he was not commenting but playing.

……

……

Seeing that his teammates did a very good job on the defensive end, Iroh also subconsciously clenched his fists, as the team's biggest star, he undoubtedly had to carry the banner of offense when the team needed to attack.

Defensive counter-attacks are an important magic weapon for underdogs to win crucial matches in the cup, and the team is now in the defensive phase, but ...... This is not a long-term solution, people cannot always be in a state of mental tightness, there will always be a time to relax.

Therefore, it is necessary to inject a shot of strength into the team when necessary, and this booster is the counterattack after the defense, only in this way can it bring greater confidence to the teammates and take the first step for the team to win.

He also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, so in the first fifteen minutes, he was very active in the front court, and every time his teammates cleared, he tried his best to fight, for the sake of a fleeting opportunity, anyway, there was an endless body potion.

As a result, he ran more and more......

ps: There are changes in the volume, friends in the book city can refresh it...... Also, if nothing else, there will be a shift in an hour and a half.
