football era

In fact, using "dark horse" to describe the Bawang team and Boca Juniors is a bit inappropriate.

What is a dark horse?A dark horse is one that no one expected before the start of the game, but they performed well in the game and sprinted to the end. They are called dark horses. But what about the Overlords and Boca Juniors?They are all eight-seeded teams. In the World Cup with 120 eight teams participating in the world, they should be able to obtain the status of the top eight seeds, and they should achieve any results, right?
However, in fact, many fans know that it is not uncommon to say that they are dark horses.

Their seed status is because the division they are in is too strong, and they naturally obtained the seed status. Otherwise, the Overlord team is participating in the World Cup for the first time. How can a standard rookie qualify for the seed status?Boca Juniors have also missed the World Cup for several years. According to the previous scoring standards of classical football, it is impossible for them to become a seeded team.

That is to say, now, it is not unscientific to divide the level of the seeded team according to the country, but it is also because of this division method that they can be the seeded team.

Compared with other seeded teams, the identities of these two teams' seeded teams seem a bit unreliable and unconvincing.

However, their performance in the World Cup did not disgrace the seeded teams at all.

It’s okay to defeat other weak teams all the way before. Even if the teams from China and Argentina have not performed well in the World Cup before, there is no doubt that they have the strength to crush the weak teams. But after the top 32 games, It is remarkable to be able to occupy the first place in the group stage. After all, in the group stage, they all encountered a second-tier team with relatively good strength, but they were still able to suppress the opponent. This in itself is a very remarkable thing. Prove Their seed team status is well-deserved.

And then in the knockout rounds, their performance was also very good. Needless to say, the Bawang team, first Real Madrid and then Bayern, these are all very good teams, especially Bayern, who can be called the No. Overlords beat, and Boca Juniors did not fare badly, they eliminated Milan first, and then Dynamo Moscow, Milan is one of the strongest teams in the second tier, while Dynamo Moscow is not The top three are also important competitors for the World Cup champion. Their ability to achieve such a victory is enough to prove their level.

At the beginning of the game, they felt that they were not worthy of their name, but now, they have reached the semi-finals and achieved outstanding results. Such a performance, being called a dark horse, seems to be a normal thing.

Compared with other teams, they are indeed dark horses.

Now, these two dark horses are meeting each other, and they both played beautifully and scored a lot of goals. What kind of sparks will they collide in the semi-finals, people are looking forward to.

Ever since, at the beginning of the game, there were quite a lot of fans in the stands. In addition to the fans from both sides, there were also a large number of neutral fans. They all came to enjoy the game, and maybe they would support them. Teams, however, will not prevent them from cheering for each other's outstanding performance during the game.

Obviously, when there are more fans like this, the atmosphere of the arena will be very good, but the hardcore support fans of both sides are a bit embarrassed-they are fighting tit-for-tat, and a group of idiots around them applaud loudly, which makes it even more embarrassing. How do people fight against it?
However, the players of the Overlords and Boca Juniors don't care about this. What they care about is the next game.

"Focus on and kill them with our attack," Maradona said finally in the dressing room.

"Don't think too much, just attack well, our offense is the strongest." Zheng Qi finally said in the locker room.

The offensive core of both sides emphasized the importance of offense in the last sentence. Regarding this point, the other players did not have any other opinions. After all, for them, they also believe that if they want to win, they must focus on offense. Improve your own standards.

Therefore, it is natural to focus on offense. No matter what, we must first ensure the effect of offense.

Players from both sides came out to the cheers from the stands, and there was a huge cheer from the fans of both sides and the neutral fans in the stands. The fans of both sides wanted to see victory, and the neutral fans wanted to see a good game.

Zheng Qi waved to the stands, which caused a burst of cheers from the stands, but soon, there was an even crazier shout from the other side of the stands.

Maradona beckoned to the stands, and the Argentine fans immediately shouted crazily!

Although their number is much smaller than that of Chinese fans, Chinese fans really won't just shout like this...

"Damn, are these people crazy?" Zheng Qi said.

"It is said that Argentines will go crazy when they hear the name of Maradona." Lu Xiaotian said beside him.

"Ah, I've seen the video of this man's game, but it's ancient." Zheng Qi said after thinking about it.

"Isn't it amazing?" Lu Xiaotian asked.

"It's true...I haven't been able to grasp his outside instep pass well until now, and I can only use it occasionally." Zheng Qi said.

"That kind of skill...it's really difficult. When kicked out, the ball has an obvious arc in the air. It flies very fast, but it slows down quickly after landing, allowing teammates to easily control it. The ball, this kind of subtle control, is really difficult to master." Lu Xiaotian admitted this after thinking about it.

"Yes, this is not something that can be achieved by improving physical fitness. The sense of the ball is too strong." Zheng Qi replied: "But no matter how great that person is, he is not the guy on the court now. When we beat him , I don’t know what the Argentines in the stands will think.”

"You are cruel." Lu Xiaotian said.

"Shouldn't it?" Zheng Qi laughed.

"It's enough to defeat, why do you have to look at other people's faces, your thinking is wrong, you have no competitive spirit at all!" Lu Xiaotian said righteously.

Zheng Qi gave him a middle finger.

"Is this the way you greet each other?" Maradona, who had already walked in front of Zheng Qi, asked curiously.

Looking at this young man with curly hair but an innocent smile on his face, Zheng Qi laughed.

"No, it's just a special way of greeting between me and him. Fingering the middle finger is insulting anywhere, but it doesn't matter between two friends." Zheng Qi replied.

Maradona retracted his half-extended middle finger, and said nonchalantly, "Oh, I thought it was a unique way of greeting your country."

After shaking hands with Maradona, Zheng Qi snorted inwardly.

"Want to bully me? It's not that easy." Zheng Qi thought to himself.

"It's a pity, this guy reacts so fast." Maradona thought in his heart.

This short confrontation, which was not like a confrontation, made both sides feel a certain degree of vigilance against each other.

At least Maradona knew that this person had a quick reaction, and Zheng Qi at least knew that this person was very active.

As the core of the offense, such traits play an extremely important role. Whether it is agility or quick response, they are all top quality when reflected in the game.

"I heard that not only Maradona, but their Messi is also very good. Fortunately, we also have you two in our team." Overlord said to Zheng Qi in the team channel.

"Really, then we have to work harder, we have to suppress them." Zheng Qi laughed.

"Don't worry, although we are not important players, we will try our best to hold off other opponents! Then we will fully support you and send the ball into their goal again and again!" Overlord said.

"No problem." Zheng Qi laughed.

Players from both sides began to disperse on the field. Judging from the formation, both sides were in a four-three-three lineup. However, many people knew that in the last game, Zheng Qi was basically a free frontcourt player, while Overlord and Long Qie The same position in the frontcourt is very active. When defending, they will return to the midfield to help defend, and when attacking, they will push into the penalty area to help Zheng Qi and Lu Xiaotian draw the attention of the opponent's defense line. The other positions are also very good. Being flexible and not sticking to one's own position, this approach has affected the Bawang team's defense to a certain extent. However, on offense, it appears to be more threatening and can better attract the opponent's attention.

It has to be said that this approach made the Bawang team's offense look more threatening, and it also made Zheng Qi and Lu Xiaotian's defensive pressure less.

Basically no one has used this tactic before, but the Overlords have shown such an effect in the game in a unique way, which makes those teams who want to defend them a headache, but also has to be admired.

When the players of the Bawang team shook hands with each other, they also felt the other party's attention-the Boca Youth players did not pay all their attention to Zheng Qi and Lu Xiaotian, because they also knew that even if the core is no longer Excellent, the game is not played by one or two people.

This is a collective confrontation, not an individual confrontation. Only by dedicating their best abilities in their own positions can the entire team gain an advantage and finally go to victory.

The reason why football has occupied the mainstream position in the past sports is that they pay more attention to teamwork while paying attention to skills. These things cannot be trained by one or two top players behind closed doors. Improvement in standards.

There are individual heroes to play, but the most important thing is still the overall toughness. Even in the era of ancient football, when a star changes a game, it also requires the joint efforts of his teammates!
The same is true in today's football games. No matter how strong an opponent is, you dare not let others go to mark him specifically. Otherwise, others will teach you how to be a man.
