Ten minutes into the game, the situation on the pitch was exactly what most media and fans expected before the game - Argentina attacked with all their might, pressing Greece tightly in the half. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The blue and white occupy more than 80 per cent of the possession, while the Greek players rarely even get a football, and even if they make the occasional tackle, their first choice is to go straight to the front of the ball rather than organise an attack...... In the huge frontcourt, the Greek team only has one striker Samaras left!

This striker who plays for the Celtics of the Soviet Super League, is 1.93 meters tall, and his innate height advantage is very obvious...... However, for Samaras, his most fatal weakness is that his body is slightly thin, and his strength is not as strong as a fierce man like the type of center [Warcraft] Drogba!

Therefore, in the first ten minutes of confrontation, even if the Greek team can occasionally hoist the football to the right position in the front court, the good-looking Samaras is difficult to occupy an advantage in the physical confrontation with the defenders of the Argentine team, and cannot comfortably grab the first point!

“…… Rehhagel still sticks to his football philosophy, and he has once again taken Greece's counter-attacking tactics when they won the championship in 2004 to the extreme...... Although the Argentines had more than 80 per 80 percent of the possession, judging from the current situation, they still had no way to pose a threat to the Greek goal for the time being, and the only three shots of the Crazy Lee ball hit the defenders! ”

On the commentary bench, there is a commentator analyzing the game.

………… Peter Mocaba Stadium in Porogani City.

The match between the blue and white team Argentina and Greece is in full swing.

At the start of the game, Madman Lee did not disappoint the fans and media, once again fielding the same 3-2-1-4 'top-heavy' onslaught formation as he had previously played against South Korea – goalkeeper Romero.

The back three rotated, with Burdisso, Demichelis and Zanetti.

In the midfield, Mascherano rotated to rest, and Inter midfielder Cambiaso and Fernando Gago partnered.

The midfield position is still Riquelme.

Among the four forwards in the frontcourt, Messi and Carlos Tevez still started, [small smoking gun] Higuain sat on the bench because of rotation, and he was replaced by Inter Milan's new prince Diego Milito, Aguero, who had cold symptoms before the game, recovered amazingly, and started after getting the permission of the team doctor!

As for the Greek team, Rehhagel adopted a 4-5-1 formation with a full defensive line - single striker Samaras.

The midfield five are Kachulanis, Caragonis, Papastatopoulos, Ceoris and Moraes.

Defender four Torositis, Papadopoulos, Windra and Kirjax.

Goalkeeper Zolvas!

(Greek names, the last word is 'Si', that's a lot...... ）…… The game lasted thirteen minutes.

The whole stadium was enveloped in the roar of 'Woo Woo Zula'.

The Peter Mocaba Stadium in Boroguani City can accommodate up to 45,000 fans to watch the game, and because the Argentine team has played perfectly in the previous two games, setting off an incredible goal storm again and again, this match will not only be attended by die-hard fans of both warring sides, but also neutral fans!

More than 45,000 people surrounded the entire grandstand.

There were even fans standing in the aisles who didn't know how to get in!

In the first ten minutes, the Argentine team attacked fiercely.

However, once the ball is within 30 metres of the Greek goal, it will be difficult for the blue and white to play a fluid combination and have few chances on goal...... In such a scene, those neutral fans who were expecting to be able to enjoy a super goal battle couldn't help but be a little anxious and disappointed, puffing out their cheeks and blowing 'Woo Woo Zula'............ Sidelines.

Lee Tong-beom has been standing on the sidelines since the beginning of the game, quietly observing the trend of the game.

He did not hesitate to accept the system task [Afterglow of the Emperor's Life] before the game, which is equivalent to Lao Li himself taking the initiative to abandon the opportunity to use FM2010 various points and system deduction cheating, so now, his brain is running rapidly, trying to find the flaws in the Greek team's defensive system!

Rehhagel's tactics were cunning and weird.

Although the formation on the surface is 4-5-1, but the double back Papastatopoulos and Moraes are both from playing central defenders, as long as the Greek team is in a crisis, Papastatopoulos and Moraes will retreat into the penalty area, so that the Greek team is instantly like a transformer, forming a shameless back 6 to defend strictly...... This dense defensive system is almost like an invisible bus parked in front of the Greek goal, and as long as the Argentine players can't dribble past the Greek defenders, in such a dense crowd, there is no way to find a shooting route that can accommodate the football to pass through...... Lee also tried to direct the Hammers to retreat a little bit to attract the Greeks to attack, waiting for their defensive formation to be pulled apart, revealing a gap and then suddenly lightning counterattack...... However, the players of the Greek team are very thorough in implementing the tactical intentions of [Otto the Great], not seeking merit but seeking no fault, always nesting in the penalty area to defend strictly, full of patience, not 100% absolute chance, and never press out to attack...... For a while, in the face of this kind of intensive defense in the form of iron buckets, Li Tongfan really couldn't come up with any good solutions!

His mind was racing, and he was thinking of a way to crack it.

…… And the other side.

The head coach of the Greek team, [Otto the Great] Rehhagel, did not have a relaxed expression on his face.

Like Lee Tong-beom, Rehhagel has been standing on the sidelines from the beginning of the game and has not returned to his seat in the conductor's seat. The big picture of Group B is not too good for the Greek team, who need a win to qualify for Group B, and on the football field, it seems that only the attack can bring the team victory...... However, Rehhagel understands better that in the face of an opponent like the madman Lee, attacking is tantamount to looking for death!

He played against Maniac Lee in Euro '08.

Rehhagel knows what kind of mentality is most important to maintain in the face of Crazy Lee, Crazy Lee's tactical adjustments are never random and accidental, he is like a terrifying conspirator, preparing countless traps waiting for you to jump, when other coaches only think of the first step and the second step, Crazy Lee has thought of at least ten steps away...... Therefore, any coach, if you accidentally make a mistake and fall into the trap at the beginning, then it is really difficult for you to jump out of this man's serial trap again!

Therefore, the current Greek team can only and must be patient.

Rehhagel is waiting for Argentina to make a mistake, superstars are also people, as long as they make a mistake in 90 minutes, as long as the Greek team can seize a chance, then the road to qualification will be smooth!

Otherwise, Rehhagel prefers a draw.

Because even if Greece draws with Argentina, as long as Nigeria can beat South Korea in the other game, then the Greeks can qualify from the group!

Rehhagel would rather pin his hopes on someone else than play against the Argentine team, so he will definitely not risk taking the initiative to attack!

…… Time passed slowly in the midst of the Greek team's tight defense.

Until the 30th minute of the first half of the game, the score on the field remained 0:0, and the Argentine team controlled the absolute advantage, but the threatening scoring opportunities that were really created were pitiful!

“…… The trouble Rehhagel caused to the madman Lee, you can criticize the Greeks for being completely unenterprising, they have basically not committed more than three men to the offensive from the beginning to the present...... However, you have to admit that the tactics of the Greek team did bring problems to the madman Lee! ”

“…… The onslaught of the Blues and Whites' four forwards didn't help, and perhaps in the next knockout round, those giants who are far stronger than the Greek team can also consider beating the madman Lee in this way when facing Argentina! ”

On the commentary seat.

[Golden Bomber] Klinsmann, looking at this scene on the field thoughtfully.

…… In the stands.

The fans of the Greek team and the Argentine team were about to shout hoarsely.

The fans of the Greek team did not concede a goal for more than half an hour because they saw the team facing the powerful madman Lee, although it was a little embarrassing on the field...... However, this is enough to excite them, and if the score remains 0:0 until the end of the game, then the Greek team still has a chance to qualify!

The fans of the Argentine team want to cheer for the heroes on the field with crazy shouts, the team has encountered difficulties, which everyone can see, but the fans are not disappointed by this, cracking the intensive defense is a problem in football all over the world, the current score is normal, when any Argentine player on the field gets the ball, the blue and white fans will shout his name wildly, and the fans hope to use this way to give the players strength!

The ones who were really disappointed were the neutral fans!

Some of them came all the way from other cities to watch an Argentine team-style performance of goals, the Greek team is not a strong team in the traditional sense, they originally thought that from the beginning of the game, the team of Crazy Lee would cut down Rehagel and the horse like a wither, they were all rushing to see seven, eight, nine goals, but ...... It's been 30 minutes, and they haven't scored a single goal, which makes them disappointed!

In the stands, neutral fans began to express their strong displeasure with boos and the overwhelming hum of 'woo vu zula'............ on the field.

Messi is getting the ball.

Papastatopoulos was like a sticky and disgusting piece of gum, firmly glued to his back from the very beginning of the game, Rehhagel's man-marking tactics played a certain role, and Messi felt that his body was like carrying a heavy mountain!

Messi made a sharp stop and skillfully got rid of the blocked Caragonis in front.

Before the cheers of the Argentine fans in the stands rang out, Papastatopoulos took advantage of Messi's slight slowdown, inserted from the side and back, stretched out a leg to the front, and then pushed the [Barcelona King] to the ground with his strong body...... Such a foul, the action is quite gentle, and there is no danger of taking cards.

Referee Yuichi Nishimura gave Argentina a direct free-kick opportunity and did not even give Papastathopoulos a verbal warning.

Such a scene has happened many times in the previous thirty minutes or so.

Free-kick maestro Riquelme took the free-kick too far and Romy's direct shot grazed the crossbar and flew off the line...... There was a "boom" of exclamation and regret in the stands.

…… Li Tongfan stood on the sidelines and shook his head gently.

He also tried to make fouls with strong free kicks in the front court, but Rehhagel seemed to have expected this for a long time, so the Greek team was very smart when defending, generally choosing to force the football 30 meters away, and rarely giving the Argentine team a free kick opportunity within the first 30 meters of the penalty area!

Moreover, the team's No. 1 striker, Quelme's form, was not too good today.

The hands of the giant clock at the top of the Peter-Mocaba Stadium in Poroguani City have unconsciously reached 16:43, plus injury time, there are less than 5 minutes left in the first half of the game, Li Tongfan, who has stood still for almost 45 minutes, finally turned around and walked to the seat in the command seat...... "It seems that the first half can only end in a draw, and at halftime, let's adjust the team's tactics......"

Li Tongfan made up his mind.

However, it was at this time that the Peter Mocaba Stadium in Borogani City remembered an exclamation like a crazy tsunami earthquake...... Surprised, Li Tongfan turned around suddenly.

I only saw that on the field, I don't know what was going on, the Greek team's striker Samarath suddenly succeeded in getting the ball, and he had already passed the central defender Demichelis, and was carrying the ball to the goal of the Argentine team...... The first to rush over to defend Samaras was Burdisso!

Burdisso performed very well in the Red Wolves Roma team last season, and his strength has been unanimously recognized by many media.

Facing Samaras, who was shaking with the ball, Burdisso instinctively blocked the introvert and did not give him a chance to shoot...... However, this is the time when Samaras's excellent soles technique comes into play.

He tricked Burdisso with a very simple smash and dodged the gap.

Then, Samaras no longer had the slightest hesitation and immediately fired a powerful shot!

Samaras blasted a world wave, the ball flew through the air at lightning speed, and young goalkeeper Sergio Romero struggled to make a save, but the ball still swooped into the net from the far corner...... 1：0！！

The Greek team actually took the lead!
