ball magic

An hour before the game, the coaches and players of the two teams knew each other's rosters.

Obviously, the two head coaches hope to turn the cowhide they have blown into reality, and neither side has made any adjustments to the starting lineup.

For Bielsa it was the best possible outcome as it meant he didn't have to make any adjustments before the game.

The venue for the final is indeed the largest stadium in Paraguay, with nearly 5 people fully seated.

And before the start of the game, the various commentators who commented on the battle of Tianwang Mountain don't have to worry about the lack of material.

"The game hasn't started yet, but we can see that the battle between the fans has started.

Security in Paraguay is as ineffective as we imagined, and yellow and blue smoke is filling the air.We can also see a large number of fans of the two teams sitting together, which makes us very worried about whether something will happen after the game.

Argentine fans taunt the Brazilian

The World Cup will be ours, Maradona is greater than Pele.

And the singing of Brazilian fans is mocking Maradona

Only Pele, only Pele, Maradona is just a drug addict! "

Following Huang Jianxiang's introduction at the scene, the camera has turned around in the stands.

Where the camera turns, there is either blue and white smoke, or Brazilian fans waving the Brazilian flag to form yellow and green waves.

When the Argentine team took the lead in warming up, the camera captured Rafael for the first time, and then turned to Batty.

At the same time, there were white pieces of paper falling from the sky and boos from Brazilian fans.

"We see that the Argentine players are now the first to enter the field, and today's Argentine team's starting lineup has not changed in any way from the previous semi-final.

The goalkeeper is still the goalkeeper Boggs of the River Plate team.

The three central defenders are Samuel, Ayala and Vivas from left to right.

The left and right full-backs are Sorin and Zanetti.

This defense must be commended, as they have conceded the joint fewest goals in the past six rounds with Brazil.

This is also an interesting phenomenon. The two teams with the most goals in this cup are precisely the teams with the best defense!

The midfield is Redondo and Rafael partner.

The frontcourt is still the Valencia double star Kyle Gonzalez and the partners of Aimar and Batty.

The three of them scored a total of 10 goals in this cup! "

As the Argentine players followed the coach to warm up, the Brazilian players also entered the field.Huang Jianxiang got busy again.

"Let's introduce the players of the Brazilian team.

Like Argentina, Brazil's goalkeeper Dida also comes from the domestic league club Cruzeiro, but on the 1st of this month, he joined AC Milan, and we will see him in the Milan derby next season.

Now let's introduce the defense to you. Please note that among the 4 Brazilian defenders, 3 have Carlos in their names.

They are left-back Roberto Carlos who plays for Real Madrid, central defender Joao Carlos who plays for Corinthians in Brazil and Antonio Carlos Xhaka who plays for Roma in Serie A.

Please make no mistake in the game, and the right back is Cafu who plays for AC Milan.

After Dunga withdrew from the national team, Cafu took over the captain's armband.

We are also very familiar with Brazil's midfield four.

The midfielder Kong Cesan played for the La Coruña team in La Liga and was also Rafael's former teammate.

His partner is Emerson from Brazil. Their most difficult task today is to defend Rafael, which will be a huge test.

On the right is Rivaldo, who plays for La Liga giants Barcelona. He has scored 5 goals in this cup.

On the left is Ze Roberto from Bundesliga Bayer Leverkusen.

The striker partners are striker Marcio Amoroso from Udinese in Serie A and Ronaldo from aliens. "

Ronaldo, who came from an alien, received super treatment as soon as he entered the field.

The carnival of the Brazilian fans and the boos of the Argentine fans made the decibels of the whole stadium rise in vain.

Raphael, who was originally concentrating on warming up, couldn't help but look up at the stadium.

This is like the venue for the finals, and this kind of atmosphere is worthy of an intercontinental trophy.

At this moment, Ronaldo waved at him from a distance, as if to say hello, and Rafael gave him a thumbs up as a response.

His eyes were still patrolling, and then he found Rivaldo.

The corner of Rivaldo's mouth curled up in a rare way the moment he saw him, which made Rafael smile back.

They greeted each other in this way, but Carlos was obviously an outlier.

When he was about to go back to the locker room after warming up for the Argentine team, he ran over and jumped onto Redondo's back. Before the proud Prince Bernabéu could react, he jumped off again and ran back. .

"What is he here for?" Simeone was a little puzzled.

Of course, to see if Redondo's back is as comfortable as he thought, Rafael thought.

It is correct to use the thinking of sand sculptures to guess the ideas of sand sculptures.

When they returned to the locker room, Bielsa immediately waved to them, and then clapped his hands vigorously, cheering up: "Everything is as we wish, and we will prove to the world which team is attacking. !"

Such a sentence inspired the pride of all Argentine players and made them show almost the same mocking smiles.

After Pele said that "Samba football is the ultimate offense", Argentine fans couldn't help pulling out a 40-meter-long sword. Not only did they compare Argentina's goals with Brazil's, they even compared their opponents .

We beat the Mexicans 6-1 in the friendly match, and you only won 2 in the main match?

We won Colombia with 5 goals, how many have you won?

They even chanted slogans!

"If Brazil is the ultimate in offense, Argentina is the offense itself."

It was due to the ridicule of the Argentine fans, so at the pre-match press conference, Brazil coach Luxenberg had to say in an interview: "We will play our style, but we will also win."

The subtext is still to play defensive counterattack.

That's right, Brazil, which ranks No. 2 in goal difference in this cup, has actually always insisted on defensive and counterattack tactics.

If you want to find the source of this tactic, it still comes from the trophy in 1994.

Bielsa's pre-match speech may not have been very successful, but he is a real Argentine, mocking Brazil is a basic quality that all qualified Argentines possess.

After completing the basic exercises and successfully improving morale, Bielsa once again emphasized offense, of course offense, they are always on the way to attack.

What he reminded emphatically was still the partner of Conceicao and Emerson.

Brazil will never lack a good midfielder. Conceicao and Emerson may not be well-known, but they are definitely useful, and they have plenty of energy to run.

This is also a difficult problem that Raphael will face today.

But the arduousness of his task does not lie in the two defensive midfielders, but in the fact that he has to give Thorin enough support.

Commonly known as, wipe the ass.

No way, who made his opponent Cafu?

More importantly, there is Rivaldo.

This is the best right-wing partner in the world. It is almost conceivable how Sorin will perform in front of such a combination.

And Redondo also has to face such challenges. He is close to the left and he also needs to help defend his teammates in the club to avoid too many threats from Roberto Carlos.

With so much emphasis on defense, even Rafael has been assigned defensive tasks. This is the first time since Bielsa took over Argentina, and he is also very tangled.

His original tactics were more aggressive and more in line with his usual tactics, but his coaching staff managed to persuade him.

This is the final after all.

They should resolutely attack, but they should not know that their weakness is the strongest point of the Brazilians, and they should not protect it. Such behavior is too stupid.

More importantly, their opponent is Brazil.

What Luxenberg said at the post-match press conference is not unreasonable. The winner is the one who laughs last.

At this moment, Bielsa told Redondo and the defense that their pressure came from the man from the alien, and repeatedly emphasized that they should not give the Brazilian a chance to hit behind, let alone give Rivaldo a chance in the ribs.

In the end, Bielsa looked at Rafael, Batty and Kiley encouragingly, "If there is enough kick space, fight for long shots and fight for set kicks, this is our chance, and I guarantee that the Brazilians think so too !"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone including Raphael laughed.

There are indeed several free kick masters on the opposite side, and they will definitely seize such opportunities.

In the end, under the reminder of the assistant coach winking, Bielsa still remembered Grondona's exhortation, and said to everyone: "The Football Association told me that this game should be played more gracefully. I think it can let the Brazilians experience our tango. wonderful."

As soon as Bielsa finished speaking, there was laughter in the locker room.

Play gracefully against those samba dancers?

It also depends on how the opponent kicks.

After Bielsa finished speaking, there was still some time left. Raphael watched Aimar adjust the shin guards, and just about to say something, he closed his mouth.

The deer, who played in the Copa Libertadores at the age of 18 and has now played a full season in La Liga, does not need his excessive and useless desire to protect.

The past few games have also proved that he can handle it all.

Aimar noticed his gaze as soon as he adjusted the leg guards, and couldn't help but smile at him.

He is ready!

He is looking forward to the upcoming finals!

As soon as Raphael raised the corner of his mouth, Simeone next to him couldn't control his mouth and asked jokingly: "So happy to start?"

This made everyone look over.

Aimar nodded generously and admitted, "Of course I am happy. Why are you unhappy playing in Brazil? And this is the first time Rafa and I have played in the final on behalf of the senior team."

This is the final.

He starts with Rafa, isn't it worth celebrating?

His unreserved answer made Keely rub his hair, and his rival Gallardo smiled.

Simeone also rubbed his little curly hair and encouraged: "Kick it well."

But after finishing speaking, he gave Raphael a sideways glance, seeing how sweet he is!

Raphael didn't need his hints, he stood up and slapped his hands away, then gave him a hug.

Simeone reacted a little slower before rubbing Rafael's blond hair.

Raphael actually pampered him, just straightened his blond hair a little, and walked out of the locker room. Other players followed their field captain one after another.

Simeone just watched him lead the team out of the locker room.Almeida patted him on the shoulder, not only to comfort, but also to comfort each other.

This summer, they stood in the final three times, but failed to win the fourth time.

Simeone smiled at him, and walked out of the dressing room with him shoulder to shoulder.

He has one more World Cup to go for and until then, he won't give up.
