ball magic

Before the game, the Argentine internationals who were so bored made a bet to guess the starting lineup of the Chilean team. If they guessed the right lineup, they would get extra points.

If it was playing cards, Raphael lacked interest, and he was excluded from this team building activity because he was too awesome, but guessing the formation was different.

He was more than happy to be a part of it.

Aimar looked at his upturned mouth and felt that this guy would be happy to be a coach after he retired.

After writing out the Chilean starting 11 in his mind without thinking, Rafael marked "442" on the top of the paper.

In fact, in his opinion, Chileans have two choices, 532 and 442.

The former strictly guards against death and can also target Argentina's two flanks, while the latter needs to leave some room for the "Chilean Shuangsa".

Rafael does not believe that Acosta will stick to it, not to mention the end of the failure, the knockout round of the Copa America can be won in 90 minutes.

If the two sides can't tell the difference within 90 minutes, they will directly enter the exciting penalty shootout.

This is equally bad for Chile.

Aimar "peeped" openly and saw that he wrote 442, so he couldn't help asking: "Why not 5 defenders?"

"They still can't score with 5 defenders." Rafael said and glanced at it, and saw 532 written by Aimar.

Acosta actually used three formations in this America's Cup, and also used three backs, and was almost hammered.

Simeone took their note, focused on Raphael's, and whistled, "You are the only one who chose 442, we are waiting to use your money to go carnival!"

Raphael gave the captain a hehe, which was a response.

As a result, when they were warming up, the assistant coach who was entrusted by them told them about the Chilean team's starting lineup.

After the assistant coach finished reading the Chilean team's starting lineup, he glanced at Simeone sympathetically, "Diego, it seems that you are going to invite Rafael to have a carnival this time."

Not to mention Simeone, even Aimar's little eyes on Rafael are very wrong.

This is the Chilean team, you can hit all of them?

Raphael certainly can.

He will not tell this stupid deer that he is very familiar with the Chilean team. This familiarity does not stem from his teammate "Ivan the Terrible" at the club, but from his debut 2 years ago.

In order to become famous with one goal in that game and silence all Argentine fans, he spent a lot of time studying his opponent.

With such a foundation, it is not difficult to think about Acosta's psychology after watching the Chilean team's game in the past two days.

Acosta is the coach of the Chilean team.

He has a beer belly and is bald before he is old. He was born in Uruguay and played football in Argentina. After retiring, he became a Chilean citizen. Now he coaches the Chilean national team.

He was able to guess Acosta's choice because of human nature.

Acosta and the players under his command are also human beings. Why should they back down at the semi-final stage?

Give it a go, if you win, you will be in the final, if you lose, you will be in the third or fourth final.

As for why everyone guessed it was a double striker, it was because the Chilean team only had these two players who were star players, and their level was much higher than that of other teammates.

Not to mention whether the fans agree or not, if Acosta chooses any one and leaves the other on the bench, the other may cause internal strife.

Acosta obviously couldn't do such a stupid thing.

But the double arrows may not be a good thing for the Chilean team, nor may it be a bad thing for Argentina.

In the future, when the England coach suffers from the "double virtues" and cannot play well at the same time, the Chilean fans will definitely understand the pain of the England fans, because their "double sa" also has the same distress.

When Zamorano and Salas play at the same time, their performance is often not as good as when one is the thigh.

Two people playing at the same time 11 cannot be greater than 2.

The two people have to play at the same time, and this may be the reason for Acosta's baldness.

At this moment, the young and bald coach of the Chilean team is also looking at Argentina's starting roster and has a headache.

There are only two populous countries in South America, Brazil and Argentina.

They are also the countries with the strongest football in South America and the strongest league.

This also leads to them having the best youth training and training the most stars, which is far unmatched by other countries.

Six or seven of Argentina's starting roster play for strong European teams, while the rest are from River Plate, almost all of whom are stars.

But Chile's stars are much weaker, and they don't have the obvious physical advantage that Paraguay has.

This made it difficult for Acosta to make a choice when he was arranging his troops. Now when he saw this roster that had not changed from the group stage, especially when he saw Raphael's name, he let out a long sigh in the locker room.

The 16-year-old and 5-month-old Raphael left a deep impression on him, or it can be called a psychological shadow.

He also played with Maradona at the end of his playing career, and of course he has seen so-called geniuses.

But Raphael still saw his admirable talent in that game.

It was not just those River Plate fans and Maradona believers who conquered in that half-time game?It also made the Chilean Expeditionary Force almost surrender to him.

Although the opponent is strong, the game still has to be played. Acosta thought twice and said to the players after they came back: "Remember what I emphasized to you yesterday? Let's be more determined and go sideways..."

"We are determined to play in the middle today!" Bielsa emphasized, then looked at Rafael and Redondo and said, "You two control the rhythm."

The two people named by him nodded in unison, looking calm and reserved.

Simeone curled his lips when he looked at the two arrogant ghosts.

If it wasn't for Redondo not being old enough to be Rafael's papa... I can't think about it anymore, if I leak my mouth, I will be beaten up!

But then Bielsa said something that surprised Rafael.

"Chile has only 180 goalkeepers with a height of over 4. We can have more corner kicks and set kicks..."

Rafael was surprised, of course, because he still remembered that in the first game, Bielsa was also determined to play positional warfare on the ground of a pile of paper.

but now……

This is to bully Chileans who are all dwarfs. He likes such a "flexible" Bielsa.

Bielsa then clicked on the number 9 on the tactical board, which represented Zamorano.

"Look at this guy, Chile's midfield is far inferior to ours. In order to get the ball to their feet, they can only go through two wings, and Zamorano is the bridgehead. He can hold the ball. The Chilean's attack You can play tricks. Salas' style is more flexible."

Having said that, Biersa stopped and looked at Ayala.

Ayala immediately covered her face and said, "I know, I will calm down, and I won't be messed up by this guy this time."

Everyone laughed at him one after another.

On Rafael's debut, he was irritated by Salas, and then elbowed him, directly winning a red dot set meal.

But that didn't affect Ayala's status in Passarella's heart. Later, in the 98 qualifiers, when Argentina and Chile played against each other, Ayala was much calmer.

Bielsa clearly knew this, but he was still uneasy.

After briefly mentioning the midfield and backcourt, Bielsa has more requirements for Aimar and Kiley, mainly to make their positions more flexible and not to be looked down upon by Chilean central defenders.

Obviously this is to encourage them to switch positions a lot.

Bielsa explained everything, except Batty and goalkeeper Boggs.

The latter is because it is unnecessary. At present, there is no goalkeeper in Argentina that is impeccable. It is reassuring that everyone is good, and it is the same for everyone.

The former...

This is Bielsa's happiness troubles.

Crespo’s playing time in this America’s Cup is not as much as Batty’s, but his efficiency is higher, but Batty also has his characteristics and advantages. When he can only choose one of the two, Bielsa can only let them perform on their own , if it doesn't work, replace...

Simeone didn't play, so when they lined up, it became Rafael and Zamorano standing side by side at the front.

Huang Jianxiang, who was at the scene at the moment, saw the situation in the player channel through the front signal, which made him laugh and joke: "The current battle obviously has not affected the friendship between Rafael and Zamorano. They seem to have a good talk. joyous……"

Rafael looked in a good mood in the camera, talking and laughing with Zamorano, which made many fans scratch their ears and wonder what they were discussing.

Of course I was complaining about Simeone!

Old Robson thought, that could only be the reason.

In fact, the old man knows everything well and knows his disciples quite well. Zamorano was indeed teasing Simeone, which made Rafael laugh happily.

But when the two captains walked onto the court and shook hands with each other, no matter how you looked at it, it was a sense of tension, vividly interpreting what it means to change faces like flipping a book.

Martin deliberately asked his father: "Do you think Chile can win today?"

The old Robson's answer is also very his usual style: "There is such a possibility, because football is round."

This is obviously still optimistic about Argentina, Martin pouted, eccentric!

There are only 1 people in Asunción's small stadium. Chile's economic lifeline is minerals, and it earns extra money by exporting energy.

Rafael wanted the ball, but unfortunately he guessed the coin and Chile attacked first.

And the Chilean team launched a blitz after kick-off!

Raphael saw that Salas passed the ball back to their midfielder Sierra and continued to advance, and his eyes turned to his right flank following Serra's pass.

Chilean right-back Miguel Ramirez dribbled the ball forward before being tackled cleanly by Sorin.

This steal is indeed beautiful, but unfortunately it was not controlled well, and it was quickly passed out after being controlled by Fabian Estay.

Raphael found that this guy was very bold, and he actually chose to transfer in a large area

Watching the ball fly obliquely to the frontcourt, Rafael found that his footwork was not bad, and the ball found Salas fairly accurately.

Before Salas could control the ball, a blue and white figure suddenly rushed out and broke the ball!Condolences

When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was Argentina's No. 20, Aimar!

Aimar, who actively participated in the defense at the beginning, was rewarded, and then he showed his long pass that he had practiced hard in the past two seasons!

The ball was passed directly to the frontcourt. Raphael quickly chased the ball, judged the landing point, and then looked at Batty.

Of course the ball was for Batty!

And Batty is also adjusting his pace, running towards the ball's landing point!

Because of the opportunity to attack at the beginning, only Reyes was left in front of the Chilean team as a central defender.

With Batty's body and such impact, as long as he controls the ball and gets space, it is destined to be a disaster for the defense. Reyes can only be turned into a background board!

Perhaps knowing Batty's danger, Chile's goalkeeper Marcelo Ramirez decisively chose to attack.

This attack was quite decisive, and in the same second, he directly tried to shoot after getting the ball from the right side of the penalty area!

I saw Marcelo Ramirez get off the ground quickly, blocked with his toes, and the ball bounced off his toes and out of the baseline!

Such a save made Batty sigh with regret, and at the same time had a high evaluation of Marcelo Ramirez.

"Argentina's attack is not over yet, we saw Rafael running up and he was going to deal with the corner."

Huang Jianxiang reminded everyone: "Raphael scored two set kicks that shocked the world on his debut. One was a goal directly from a corner kick, and the other was a free kick. , scored his trademark C-cut, and that was the first time he had ever taken a free-kick like that."

"It can be said that Raphael let the world see his footwork through that friendly match, and also made him the youngest set-piece master in the five major leagues."

If Marcelo Ramirez knew what Huang Jianxiang was talking about, he would definitely want to beg him to shut up!

The last time Rafael played against the Chilean team, it was veteran Nelson Tapie, his predecessor, standing in front of the Chilean team's goal.

As a result, Tappy was on the background board in that game, and he didn't want to follow in Tappy's footsteps!

This made Marcelo Ramirez very careful in his position, and he was serious when directing the defense. He even reminded the captain Zamorano twice. How afraid.

Raphael, who was standing at the corner, was also favored by the camera.

It may be that the game has just started, he looks fresh and clean, his hair is not messed up, standing there is a landscape, coupled with the effect of the lights, the whole person is so handsome.

This cool guy doesn't have the self-consciousness that he is popular among thousands of girls. After his gray-blue eyes caught the extremely small figure in the restricted area, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the next moment he opened an arc. !

Marcelo Ramirez watched the arc nervously, and then something was wrong!

The ball is not looking for Batty and Redondo, who are tall, strong and physically great!

But when he discovered this, it was too late...

Aimar, who was completely unguarded by anyone, jumped out from the rear point, bowed his head and scored a header!

That's right, the ball was not looking for the high point, but the little dwarf Aimar who was completely unguarded at the back point!

The goal was scored easily, making Aimar as happy as picking up a gift bag!

He wanted to go to Raphael to celebrate, but Batty picked him up as soon as he copied it!

This made him subconsciously look towards the corner, and saw his lover who was still standing at the corner wink at him with a smug smile.

How could Aimar have thought that he would suddenly discharge on the court, before he blushed, he glared at this guy first!

That's right, Rafael was not jealous, he was also in a very good mood

After all, Aimar didn't just score a goal, it was a header!

He knows that Aimar's header ability is very good, maybe even better than Messi who scored a header in the Champions League final.

This means that he has a good sense of smell in front of goal and is also good at running, but it still takes some tricks to send the ball to such a short guy, but he succeeded.

He gave himself a full score for this assist, so proud!

The author has something to say: Aimar has scored more headers than Dong Ge, a 186-strong man!

The number of times Ayala successfully competed for the top is also much more than Dong Ge, a strong man!

Irving may have scored more headers than Gerrard...

This is not to be judged by appearance, and the ability to head the ball cannot be judged by height!

But to be able to send the ball over the heads of the dwarfs in the penalty area full of tall people, this requires technical content, no wonder a certain peacock is proud.
