The strongest winger

Chapter 1212 Brave Change

Shi Ke gave Argentina a penalty and let the team play one less player, but except for those extreme fans, not many people blamed him. After all, as the last defensive player of the team's entire defense line, he had no choice.

So most of the Chinese fans in the stands applauded him to appease Shi Ke's wounded heart.

On the Internet, many fans insulted Shi Ke and vented a series of consequences brought about by his departure, but these negative energy did not last long. You must know that in China, there are still many fans who understand football.

Coupled with a series of explanations and analyzes by commentators Huang Jianxiang and He Wei, we know that Shi Ke's defense is a gambling-style defense, with success and failure equally divided. Unfortunately, the final result is just a loss.

Argentina's penalty kick was naturally taken by the star Messi. He stood at the [-]-yard penalty spot with a serious face, turning a deaf ear to the continuous boos at the Maracana Stadium.

To be honest, Messi is still quite nervous because he knows that this penalty will affect the result of the entire game.

A penalty kick will greatly increase the morale of the team, and then use the advantage in numbers to bombard the Chinese team's hinterland in the next game, overtake the score as soon as possible, and kill the game.

If the penalty kick is not scored, the morale of the Chinese team will rise again. In order to lead the score, they will definitely defend and drag the score until the end of regular time.

So even if Messi is a superstar capable of wrestling with Aiello, there will inevitably be some psychological fluctuations.

Similarly, Wang Xiaolei, who was standing in front of the goal, was also very nervous. His mind was full of the highlights of Messi's goals, including sports goals, set kicks and penalties.

The commentators in the on-site commentary adjusted their breathing and focused on Wang Xiaolei and Messi.

"—Shhhhh!!"

In order to affect Messi who kicked the penalty kick, the Chinese fans in the stands opened their throats and burst out huge bursts of boos like a tsunami, hoping to affect Messi's penalty kick.

But the result disappointed them. Messi faced Wang Xiaolei's penalty very easily. The moment his left foot touched the ball, he made an illusion of kicking to the left, which was Wang Xiaolei's save on the right.

When Wang Xiaolei's center of gravity shifted ahead of time, Messi snapped his ankle and kicked the ball in the opposite direction of Wang Xiaolei's save.

"Ouch!!"

Immediately, huge cheers erupted from the sky above the Maracana Stadium, and the entire stadium turned into a sea of ​​joy for Argentine fans.

In stark contrast were the Chinese fans. Some of them sat blankly on chairs, some were confused, and some female fans even burst into tears.

※※※

Argentina equalized the score, and the players were somewhat uncomfortable. Among them, Wang Xiaolei, who was tricked by Messi with fake moves, was the most typical. He beat the turf angrily.

The other players were not much better, either with their hands on their hips, or shook their heads helplessly.

Where is this or the Chinese team that has booked the championship?

As the captain, Ai Luo naturally shoulders the important task of boosting morale. I saw him walking towards teammates one after another in the camera, giving them confidence.

"The captain is the captain! Undoubtedly, Ai Luo is a qualified captain. He not only encouraged the opponent when Shi Ke was sent off, but also gave his teammates confidence when the team was equalized when there was one less player in the game. I believe...the game will not develop in a direction that is not conducive to the Chinese team! I believe...the championship is our Chinese team!"

Huang Jianxiang looked at Ai Luo who was locked in the camera, and expressed some emotion.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Originally, the Chinese fans in front of the TV saw Messi scoring a penalty kick, and their negative emotions were a little overwhelming, but after hearing Huang Jianxiang's words, the emotion of worrying about gains and losses has weakened...

The Argentine players on the field celebrated the equalizing goal excitedly, while the Argentine National Television and most neutral commentators in the commentary seat praised Messi who scored the penalty kick, expressing that Messi played the best game in his career.

At the same time, Guardiola is still nervously discussing with his assistants how to adjust next.

After all, it was a central defender who was sent off, and he must be replaced with a central defender in consideration of the balance of offense and defense.

So who should be replaced?

Guardiola took another look at the bench. The only central defender left was Mei Fang. In such an important game, it would be very risky to deploy Mei Fang who had never played a minute before.

So much so that Guardiola had to think carefully. As his eyes shifted, he saw Zhao Xuri, who could play as a central defender.

But soon he shook his head and denied that Zhao Xuri's defensive ability is indeed very strong, but the central defender is not the best choice.

Soon, he saw Ren Hang sitting next to him.

Ren Hang's main job is left back, and he can work part-time as center back. Compared with Zhao Xuri and Mei Fang, his body is stronger and his mental quality is not bad.

But thinking of this, Guardiola has a better choice!

Because...he decided to stand still!

Thinking of the word "part-time job", Guardiola suddenly looked at Zhang Linpeng on the field.

Zhang Linpeng's physical and psychological qualities can be ranked in the top three in the entire team, and he is the best choice for central defenders.

In addition, the winger Hao Junmin can be pulled back to play as a full-back. Previously...he played this position in the club, and the effect was very good!

Thinking of this, Guardiola's changing heart began to agitate.

Anyway, changing to Mei Fang or Ren Hang has certain risks. It is better to bring back the stable Zhang Linpeng and Hao Junmin to try the effect, and it is more important to maintain the overall stability of the team, so try not to make adjustments if you can.

Zhang Linpeng, who was called to the sidelines, was a little surprised by Guardiola's temporary adjustment.

It's not that he hasn't played as a central defender, but that the game is no longer developing in a direction that is conducive to the victory of the Chinese team. Is it the best choice to make this adjustment at this time?
However, as a successful player of the Chinese team in Europe, Zhang Linpeng's tactical execution ability is needless to say. Although he was a little confused, there was no problem in executing it.

Hao Junmin was not surprised when he received the notification of the change, but the narrators in the commentary booth were quite surprised.

After the game restarted, the Chinese team did not make any adjustments, but made minor adjustments to the lineup on the field, that is, Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting partnered to play center back, and Hao Junmin pulled back from the frontcourt to play right back.

Wu Xi and Huang Bowen still partnered with double midfielders, Zhang Xizhe and Ai Luo were slightly forward, and Gao Lin was alone in the front, and the formation became [-].

From the perspective of formation alone, the Chinese team is extremely flexible.

Numerous football experts had to sing the praises of Guardiola. After all, not everyone can keep the formation unchanged when one person is sent off.

PS: I am working on performance at the end of the month, so I don’t have time to update, sorry for forgetting. . .
