Chapter 260 Argentina lacking an organizer

"How do I feel, whether it is in Inter Milan or the national team, I am always playing defensive counterattacks." Back in the locker room, Caesar complained to Ozil.

"Probably because you are only suitable for counterattacks." Ozil rolled his eyes, "After all, the more defenders you have, the less successful your breakthrough will be."

Caesar curled his lips, obviously he has made progress, okay?

For example, when he passed Otamendi and Mascherano in the first half, Caesar's consecutive spikes between his legs made the opponent dizzy.

It's just that the final shot missed the goal by a tiny bit, which failed to help the team expand the score.

After 45 minutes, the German team still took a 1-0 lead.

Love walked into the locker room with a smile on his face.Not only because the team is leading, but more importantly, the players have a very good sense of zone defense and filling positions. In addition, the Argentine players always fight on their own and do not cooperate much. Therefore, the German team "silenced" the opponent's powerful attack group.

"I'm very satisfied with your performance in the first half. There is nothing to adjust. Continue in the second half!" Loew looked at Xiaozhu and Khedira, who had made great contributions to the team's defense.Especially Xiaozhu, who has been defending Messi closely. Although he is a little embarrassed, the effect is very good.

Germany's dressing room is very relaxed, Argentina is not bad.Although the score was behind, their 61% ball possession rate and 12 shots made Maradona forget that the team was actually not good at attacking, and most of the time it was unnecessary ball possession and shots.

Carlos Tevez is quite depressed, he and Di Maria are both on the left, and both like to control the ball.The two are always crowded together, and neither of them can run without the ball. As a result, they play more with less.

The same is true for Messi. The team lacks organizers. Sometimes in the first half he has to retreat to organize to help the team sort out the midfield.The key is that Higuain, Di Maria and others don't move much without the ball. Everyone is standing there waiting for the ball. After he attracts the defense, he still can't find a point to pass the ball.

Messi put a towel over his head, he was really tired.

The intermission time passed quickly, and in the eyes of the fans, the players of the two teams reappeared.

"Leo." Just before Messi was ready to play, his good friend Aguero came over.

"You were too far from the opponent's goal in the first half. If you have a chance in the second half, you should run more towards the goal."

Messi shrugged and said: "There is no playmaker in the midfield. I stay in the front. Who will pass the ball?"

Aguero scratched his hair. He is Maradona's son-in-law. Even if he saw the team's problems, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Come on, this is your best chance." Aguero patted Messi on the shoulder, and both of them knew what he meant.

Argentina's lineup is quite luxurious, full of offensive power, and fully capable of competing for the championship.No one can tell what will happen in the future, so if Messi wants to be crowned king, he must win the World Cup this year.

Messi nodded silently, and Aguero also knew that the pressure was too great for him, but Messi has the strength and qualifications. As Messi's friend, he must strictly supervise him.

"Okay! The game will start again!" Yankel cleared his throat. Although the team was passive in the first half, the players were quite relaxed.As if everything was in their expectations, the facts also proved that Argentina did not have many opportunities to threaten Neuer.

At the beginning of the second half, Argentina broke out like a wave of offensive.The German team had expected this for a long time. They retreated in their own half in a leisurely manner, waiting for their attack.

Messi retreated to the midfield to get the ball. Aguero sighed. He turned his head to look for the midfield organizers in the team. After looking around, he only saw Veron and Pastore.

But Veron was old, and Pastore was too young.

Aguero had to re-focus on the court, hoping that Messi can lead the team to revive.

"Messi dribbled the ball! He was looking for his teammates! Messi's pass in the first half posed a huge threat to the German team! His through ball was very precise and concealed! But sometimes his teammates didn't think of going with him, either they didn't run or they passed."

Matthaus said on the side: "When I confronted Maradona, I always had a feeling that every player on the opponent could understand Maradona's intentions and play with his thoughts. But now, Messi, who has the same talent, does not have such a group of outstanding teammates. I only see Higuain, Tevez, Maxi and Di Maria fighting on their own."

Sauer nodded: "Yes, although Argentina lacks a midfield organizer, Messi also has the ability to organize. It's just that the teammates are all big names, and no one wants to be a blue-collar player. They all want to solve the problem with the ball."

Messi looked up and looked around, no one had a good chance, as long as he dunked the ball and passed the ball back to Mascherano.

Brother Xiao Ma also had troubles that he couldn’t tell. In the first half, his teammates always pressed too high. When the German team counterattacked several times, he was the only defender in the midfield.

If it weren't for a little bad luck, I'm afraid the German team has scored more than one goal.

Brother Xiaoma hesitated for a long time, and didn't know who to give the ball to.

"Come back a little bit!" He raised his hand and yelled, Di Maria and Maxi both pressed to the edge of the opponent's penalty area, which made him pass the ball.

"This way!" Di Maria and Carlos Tevez raised their hands for the ball at the same time, but the key point is that they are still on the same road.

In desperation, Mascherano can only pass through the middle, hoping to create opportunities for his teammates through Higuain's back to get the ball.

As a result, Higuain spiked the ball and rushed to the goal immediately after receiving the ball, and was immediately blocked by Mertesacker.

"Luther!" Khedira received the pass and turned the ball to the left without looking up.

"Khedira's pass is very targeted! Caesar stopped the ball! Facing Otamendi with a yellow card!"

Caesar wasted no time and dribbled the ball straight towards his opponent.

In a head-to-head confrontation, the comparison is who has the fastest reaction and the fastest speed.

Compared with Caesar, Otamendi might as well raise his hand and surrender.

"Caesar smashes the ball into the baseline! Otamendi is pulling Caesar's clothes desperately!"

Klose had already rushed to the front point. Caesar, who was thinking that he had fallen, hesitated for a moment, and passed the ball.

With just such a hesitation, Klose ran past a little bit, and barely knocked his heel towards the goal, but was also held down by Romero.

"Come over earlier." Klose spread his hands, Caesar apologized.

Tsk, it's better to fall down and get a yellow card.

Watching Otamendi gasping for breath, Caesar scratched his scalp.
