The rivalry between England and Argentina has been given too much connotation beyond the competitive meaning, and 99% of what people talk about is beyond the reality of the World Cup, that is: qualifying, qualifying for the knockout rounds, and going on

Revenge, revenge, revenge.

England wants revenge, Argentina also wants revenge, the Falklands War has passed for a full twenty years, but it still makes the entire Argentine nation full of hatred for England, which is understandable, the war of blood and dignity will not be forgotten from generation to generation, and it depends on what kind of hatred it is.

Even if Argentina defeats England again, Britain will not return the Falklands to Argentina, and will not reverse the outcome of the war twenty years ago, but the whole nation is looking forward to defeating England on the green field, football is a spiritual opium, if the Argentines can beat England, the whole nation can rise to the sky.

The Anglo-Afghan match was 60 minutes into the game, and the score on the scoreboard was already 3:0.

The Argentine's heart was already cold, not only the negative stimulus brought by the score, but also the Pampas Eagle showed no hope, not even the slightest flame of hope was ignited.

At this time, most people's thinking begins to return to the essence of competition.

Argentina will lose this game, indisputably lost, defeated by England with a magnificence that no one could have foreseen, and that kind of magnificence, galloping, devastating, and exhilarating passion, is exactly what Argentina is looking for.

Calm down and think about it, the Argentines began to panic, huge panic!

According to the current score, if, another game in the same group. Sweden beat Nigeria. No matter how many Sweden wins. Sweden will overtake Argentina in the rankings before the final round of matches.

Goal difference!

Yes, Sweden lost to England 1:3.

And Argentina is 0:3 behind at this time, Argentina only won a paltry 1:0 against Nigeria, as long as Sweden wins, the Swedish team has the same points as Argentina, but the goal difference is definitely more than Argentina!

This is the group of death, one goal scored, one goal conceded. It can turn the whole dish upside down.

Bielsa probably thought of this as well, and immediately used up the last substitution spot without hesitation.

And the man he replaced was: Batistuta.

When the substitution number was played on the field, Barty lowered his head and walked quickly to the sidelines, until the score changed from 2:0 to 3:0, it seemed that 2 to 3, this 3 was very special, so that the Argentine generals realized: Sweden was also scored 3 goals by England, but Sweden scored a goal!

So there will be no one to worry about the goal difference before the game. Start zooming in infinitely.

Yes, the Argentine generals were arrogant before the game. Ambitious to continue to teach England a lesson, like the '86 World Cup, like the '98 World Cup, to let England fall into the abyss again after winning the first game.

Even if it's a draw, or a real loss.

No Argentine would have thought that the score would turn into such a real and shocking three-goal gap as it is now!

This gap, pushing Argentina to the brink of death, is kicking them off the stage of the World Cup!

From the beginning of the match to this moment, Barty received the highest level of attention, attracting everyone's attention and making people realize that Barty had no sense of existence during the previous match, as if he had been invisible.

I have to admit that the inevitable thought that arose made many people sigh lightly.

God of War, old.

The hero is in the twilight, sighing everywhere.

Batty's replacement was Crespo, who sat on the bench after Barty came off the pitch and watched the pitch with a blank face, but his eyes were in a trance, very similar to the look of Thierry Henry, who was sent off in South Korea yesterday, when he looked back at the moment when he walked down the tunnel.

It's not just about being attached to this stage.

There is also a touch of attachment in despair, a devotion to ask God to grant them their wishes.

Barty, he has a date.

The time is June 30 in Yokohama, Japan.

At this time, he already had an ominous premonition of missing the appointment.

Barty, the god of war, Totti, the king of wolves, meet in the World Cup final!

And Henry, who also has a date, shook hands with Ronaldo after the Champions League final and said something big: Goodbye at Yokohama International Stadium!

Argentina has used up three substitutions, Bielsa has now put all ethnic hatred behind him, and people always have to see the reality clearly, and the job of a football coach cannot be unrealistically fantasized.

Reversal of the big comeback?

If Bielsa still has this self-confidence, he is not called crazy, he is really crazy.

But he continued to ask Argentina to attack.

Some pale faces, crazy eyes, what he is looking for is no longer victory, it is simply wishful thinking, all he asks for is to score, to score goals, one, or two.

Before the final battle of life and death, Argentina cannot be ranked behind Sweden, never!

He finally came to his senses and played Nigeria against a conservative opponent, and Argentina only scored one goal from a set-piece to win.

Playing England, the opponent was also conservative in the arrangement, but now it has been poured three.

If Sweden were really ahead of Argentina before the final game, it would have been a conservative approach to them.

What confidence does Bielsa have in the presence that Argentina's 3313 can break through the dense defense?

On the highest stage in the green shade world, without absolute creative power and high efficiency in breaking dense defense, don't do the dream of attacking football to conquer the world!

That's beautiful, but it's not realistic.

Bielsa no longer dares to look at Aldridge not far from him at this moment, Argentina is very ambitious, in his philosophy, there are many, many attacking tricks, but England use two points to make Argentina have nothing to do, all the designs are in water, the first point is space, the second point is the number of defenders.

If playing Nigeria was difficult, there were some troubles, and when Barty scored with a header, people forgot about that and continued to have great expectations for 3313 offensive football.

Then this game plays England. Bielsa's 3313 can be thrown into the trash completely.

Offensive? England left Argentina without even a shot from inside the box. Played an hour of play. There were only five shots on goal in the open battle, all of which were long-range shots from the perimeter that were out of luck, and only one shot from the range of goal was hit.

Is this offensive football? Where is the offensive? On the contrary, he was beaten by England's quick counterattack and wailed in despair, and the game was not over yet, but the whole world knew that Aldridge and Bielsa's sideline fighting style was decided.

The madman was strongly crushed by the young marshal!

Even if the situation is reversed. England attacked wildly, Argentina counterattacked, I believe that the score may be reversed, but no one put a knife on Bielsa's neck to let him attack domineeringly, knowing himself and knowing that he has won a hundred battles, if he doesn't even know how many pounds and taels his team has, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous to talk about conquering the world?

Before the World Cup, the madman boasted that the runner-up was a failure, and it has become a laughing stock at the moment. It has become the material for countless reporters to write war reports in their minds.

Runner-up?

Don't say whether you can go to the finals, whether you can qualify for the group stage may be hanging!

Aimar. López, Crespo, Argentina's second-half substitutions did not bring immediate results.

Instead, in the 69th minute, the gate almost fell again.

McManaman won the ball on the left side, made a feint in the process of cutting inside with the ball, and seemed to be going to pass back to the middle, which is also what he has been doing before, doing more, becoming a habit, easy to be predicted, which also acts on the prediction of the defender, Pochettino subconsciously moved his center of gravity in advance to block the line of McManaman's pass to the middle, but saw that McManaman quickly changed his desire to smash the ball in the penalty area to speed up.

Easily broke through Pochettino and went straight into the heart of the box, Samuel stared at Owen as he stepped back, he didn't dare to fill in the position, he didn't dare, he believed that if he made a move, McManaman would give Owen an assist.

And McManaman had space to shoot, did not pass the ball again, the distance was very close, and the angle was not bad, but he was too forceful, but the angle was not grasped well, and a heavy shot shot the ball into the side netting, at first glance, I thought it was in.

The English fans in the stands let out a huge sigh, and then burst into warm applause, they did not overly harsh on the curly dog, against Sweden, against Argentina, in both games, McManaman is undoubtedly an excellent English player on the field, the fans will not demand more from him, because now they are 3-0 ahead.

McManaman was very annoyed, he wanted to score, he wanted to leave his own goal on the World Cup stage, but unfortunately, he didn't know whether to say bad luck or deliberately a little nervous.

Either way, England made another attack that sent a chill down Argentina's spine and was just a fraction of a second away from the goal.

Simeone had already accepted his fate at this time, he was one of the captains, although he had mixed feelings in his heart and suffered the most, but he had to bow to reality.

Bielsa's tactical arrangement in this game not only failed to restrain England and break through the opponent's fortress, but also in the opponent's targeted arrangement, the technical and tactical tactics completely restrained Argentina.

If it continues like this, whether Argentina will score goals, Simeone doesn't know, but he will definitely concede again!

He has a weak heart, including his injury not being good and not at his best, and he knows he can't stop England's whirlwind in midfield.

If you concede another goal, from 3 to 4, Argentina will not just lose, but will be washed in blood!

He took the initiative to communicate with Zanetti and Sorin, asking at least one of them to act as a wing-back in defence, filling the gap in the cross-section of the back line and compressing the gaps, while the other person to assist the midfielder and act as the central midfielder when the defender returned.

Although it may seem vague to say this, Zanetti and Sorin should be understandable that it is a free adjustment, coordinated with each other as the shape changes.

Whoever plays full-back is simple, McManaman plays full-back on either side, then the other person will naturally come to the middle of the midfield to share the defensive pressure of Simeone.

After Simeone instructed his teammates to adjust, the Argentine team's defense finally looked balanced, the defense line was intact without obvious gaps, and the marking was no longer one-on-one marking, and there were teammates who could flexibly fill in the position and assist in the defense.

In fact, this is the mainstream defensive mode of the world's strong teams, and the strong offense and weak defense are also the shape of the overall football environment, even if the best defensive players in the world, one-on-one defense, it is impossible to achieve 100% success, 9 successes, 1 failure, may become a sinner.

Argentina's adjustment was in the 70th minute, and Aldridge naturally noticed the change in Argentina's defensive posture, he turned around, walked towards the coach's box, sat down, and looked indifferent.

The game is over. (To be continued......)
