The strongest winger

Chapter 1210 The situation changes suddenly
Guardiola's requirements for the Chinese team in the second half are very simple, that is, to control the rhythm, but what he didn't expect was that Argentina would take the lead in the kick-off at the beginning of the game.

Although Messi's sudden shot at the front of the penalty area was rejected by Wang Xiaolei, this high-quality long-range shot brought great encouragement to the Argentine team.

At the same time, it also brought hope to the Argentine fans in the stands. Their cheers continued to rise, making the final atmosphere at the Maracana Stadium reach the highest point since the start of the second half.

Di Maria's corner kick did not pose any threat and was easily cleared by Feng Xiaoting.

The game continued, and Wu Xi, the core midfielder of the Chinese team, consciously wanted to control the rhythm of the game, but Argentina, who was playing aggressively, suddenly started a high-intensity press from the midfield.

The sudden acceleration made Wu Xi feel a little overwhelmed. The pass was delayed by half a beat, and the football was stabbed by Di Maria, just in time to roll in front of Messi.

Seeing that a quick counterattack was about to take place, Wu Xi's midfield partner Huang Bowen had quick eyes and quick hands, and chose to use a foul to keep Messi where he was, and he also paid the price of a yellow card.

"--Oh! Argentina changed a lot in the second half! After the kick-off, they made a sudden effort, and now they have strengthened their efforts in the midfield. Only 2 minutes into the second half, China's midfielder Huang received a yellow card! This game is interesting..."

The commentator of the Brazilian National Television said in surprise.

Many commentators have guessed the trend of the second half of the game during the intermission, and guessed many possibilities, but they did not expect the stars headed by Messi to change so much in the second half.

It can be said that the current Argentina and the Argentina in the first half are completely two teams.

The commentator of the Argentine National TV could get the team's changes and said excitedly: "This is the strongest Argentina team in our impression! Leo in the second half is also the strongest Leo! That's it! I believe that as long as it continues, it is only a matter of time before the score is equalized!"

CCTV commentator Huang Jianxiang felt a little flustered. He said: "Huang Bowen got a yellow card in the first 2 minutes of the second half. This is not a good phenomenon."

Huang Jianxiang did not speak, because he was afraid that the problem he was worried about would gradually be exposed.

However, many times, the more you worry about something, the more it will happen.

※※※

If Argentina's offense in the first half relied on Messi, then Argentina's offense in the second half relied on the whole.

Even Savilla didn't expect this change, because during the intermission, he hoped that Messi would take more breakthroughs with the ball and get opportunities until the score was equalized.

But now except for Messi, other offensive players have improved. Di Maria and Higuain have all shown their highest level.

The Chinese team's defensive players originally focused most of their energy on marking Messi, just like Argentina's marking on Aiello.

However, with the eye-catching performance of other Argentine offensive players, the number of troops defending Messi will naturally decrease, so Messi has won many offensive opportunities with the ball forward.

All of a sudden, there was panic in front of the Chinese team.

"Oh-My-God! It's Messi's breakthrough again. His offensive ability was fully demonstrated in this game!!" Many commentators in the commentary were amazed at Messi's amazing performance.

The Argentine fans in the stands also followed Messi's amazing performance, and there were huge waves of noise.

In 7 minutes, Messi dribbled the ball into the attacking 40-meter zone. This time it was no longer Wu Xi and Huang Bowen who defended him, but Huang Bowen who was carrying a yellow card.

Faced with Huang Bowen's forward pressure, Messi directly accelerated diagonally and broke through. Huang Bowen did not dare to make a mistake when he was passive because he had already received a yellow card.

Wu Xi was innocent, and rushed over horizontally. This time, Messi didn't stick the ball, but used the outside of his left foot to pass the ball to Di Maria who retreated to respond.

Then he jumped up deftly, easily dodging Wu Xi's defense, and then he accelerated forward abruptly.

Di Maria, who received the ball, made a fake move to pass the ball to Messi, which made central defenders Feng Xiaoting and Shi Ke very nervous.

Messi has broken through the midfield defense formed by Huang Bowen and Wu Xi, and the next step is to face the central defender directly, and there is still a small smoking gun Higuain hidden between Feng Xiaoting and Shi Ke.

Coupled with the super state shown by Messi in the past few minutes, it is very reasonable for Di Maria to give the ball to Messi.

But... the moment Di Maria's left foot touched the football, he flicked his ankle and passed the ball to Higuain's forward running route.

Because Messi's acceleration attracted the attention of Zhang Lin Peng and Feng Xiaoting respectively, only the young Shi Ke was left to defend Higuain.

Higuain's running position is just right with Messi's pass, blocking Shi Ke behind him.

"--Gonzalo? Higuain!!"

Seeing this scene, the commentator of the Argentine National Television roared out excitedly.

Shi Ke was blocked behind him. Seeing that Higuain was about to enter the penalty area, he didn't have time to think about it. He spotted the football that Higuain waded out, and chose to fall to the ground with a shovel without hesitation.

But what he didn't expect was that Higuain's feet moved unexpectedly fast, and the toe of his right foot poked the ball forward.

So... the result was that Shi Ke's outstretched foot did not touch the football, but instead kicked Higuain's foot, which directly caused the latter to lose his center of gravity and fall into the penalty area.

"—beep!!!"

The on-duty referee Rizzoli decisively blew his whistle.

Everyone's attention was on Rizzoli. The scene just happened so fast that many fans didn't even see it clearly.

The on-site director locked the camera on the referee Rizzoli. Was it Higuain's dive?Or is Shi Ke fouling?It all depends on Rizzoli's judgment.

Rizzoli in the camera is very calm, walking slowly towards the foul spot, while pointing his right index finger at the penalty spot!

This is... a penalty! !

Seeing Rizzoli's gesture, the Catalan TV commentator suddenly shouted: "—Penalty kick! Rizzoli awarded a penalty kick!!"

The Argentine fans at the scene burst into cheers when they saw the referee's penalty.

Because they know that this penalty means that Argentina has a 90.00% chance of equalizing the score.

And...the Chinese central defender Shi Ke who brought down Higuain received a yellow card in the first half.

At the same time, the on-site director gave a slow-motion playback.

Although Huang Jianxiang was very reluctant to admit that Shi Ke made a foul, the facts speak louder than words. From the slow-motion playback, it can be clearly seen that Shi Ke's movements were half a beat slower.

The toe of his right foot kicked Higuain's right foot, causing the latter to lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground.

It's an obvious foul move!
Seeing this, he suddenly thought that Shi Ke had already received a yellow card in the first half, and the fouled Shi Ke was the last player in the defense of the Chinese team.

In addition, Rizzoli in the camera took out a yellow card from his trouser pocket.

This……
