Chapter 598 The Redemption of a Man
Argentina's locker room.
The atmosphere is a little dull, but the expressions on the hammers' faces are quite relaxed.
The players whispered, and at this time, Li Tongfan pushed the door in.
So far, Li Tongfan has not come up with any good way to crack [Otto Emperor] Rehagel's almost shameless iron tactics. What he can do is to have a little bit of the tactics of adjusting the Argentine team, which is better than nothing... "In the second half of the game, we will replace..."
Li Tongfan came to the tactical board, picked up the ink pen, paused a little, and then began to write a list of people to be replaced on it. At this time, the head of Demichelis, who made an unforgivable mistake in the first half, was about to fall into his crotch!
He is sure that the so-called substitution in the head coach's mouth must be aimed at himself!
And other players almost have the same view, 'because the boss' is very strict with everyone in the team. Anyone - even the number one core [King Barcelona] Messi, if he makes a mistake that should not be made, he will be reprimanded undisguised!
This is a means of coaching that makes everyone feel fair and does not dare to neglect at all.
There was a little silence in the locker room for a while.
When the 'squeak' sound of the tip of the ink pen rubbing the blackboard disappeared, Demichelis raised his head. He did not see the replacement logo on the tactical board for the first time, but saw the eyes of the head coach Li Tongfan. His expression was full of seriousness and stared at himself honestly... "Sure enough, he was going to replace me!"
Seeing the head coach's eyes, Demichelis had no luck in his heart.
............Peter Mokaba Stadium in Pologuani.
During the break, some fans find a place to open the sluice gate to release water, and some go to the shops and supermarkets on the court to buy food... Like the players, after 45 minutes of crazy hissing and dancing, they also feel tired and are taking the time to recover their strength and prepare for the second half of their respective teams. Keep shouting and cheering!
For the fans, the game is also a victory!
On the commentary table.
Commentators from various countries are seizing the time to analyze the situation in the first half of the game from a professional perspective and predict the possible adjustments in the second half... "... It was a complete accident for the Greek team to take the lead, but it is also a fact that Argentina can't do nothing about the opponent's iron barrel defense. ...If the madman Li can't find a good solution to this problem in the second half, then maybe the retiring [Otto the Great] Rehagel will create the last miracle in his head coach career - to be the first to defeat the [God on the side of the football field] madman Li!"
"...I don't think the Greek team can win the final victory. After all, the madman Li has brought us too many miracles. The Battle of Old Trafford in the Champions League of the Real Madrid era, the Battle of San Siro, the final Battle of the Olympic Stadium, and the incredible Ernst Ha in the 2008 European Cup. The big reversal of Pell Stadium... Even if there is only one second left in the game, one of the middle fingers of the madman Li can change the game. He is such a man who makes everything impossible possible... The Greek team is happy too early!"
"However, you must notice that cracking the barrel array is a world-class problem. The Greek team has made it clear that it has the ability to defend. Even if Rehagel puts 10 defenders in the second half, it is not impossible!"
"...I guess the Argentine team will definitely be replaced. Demichelis, who made an unforgivable mistake, will definitely disappear from the Argentine team's starting list forever!"
"Well, I agree with you on this aspect. With the leader of the crazy Li Tiexue, Demichelis's road to the World Cup in South Africa has come to an end!"
The commentators analyzed the possible situation in the second half.
[God of War] Batistuta, who served as a temporary commentator, did not say anything. At the end of the game, he clearly saw that when Li Tongfan turned around and walked to the player's channel, his eyebrows frowned tightly, which was not the usual kind of unhurried and confident expression, which made Batistuta's heart There is a bad feeling in the middle... "Is it... Didn't Li find a way to win?"
He was worried about his speculation.
............Fifteen minutes later.
Forced!!
The referee Yuichi Nishimura, 45,000 fans at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Pologani, blew the whistle for the start of the second half of the game!
The game starts again!
The Greek team took the lead in kick-off.
Rehagel's team's performance was as unmotivated as ever. They just came to a sloppy side pass in the offensive. At a glance, they couldn't stand at all. They immediately retreated to their own half and continued to set up an iron barrel array!
Argentina took control of the ball less than 30 seconds after restarting the ball.
However, compared with the first half, the players of the Blue and White Legion have indeed changed a lot on the field - "... The madman Li has indeed made a substitution adjustment, but contrary to our guess, the 'sinner' Demichelis still appears on the field... This is really incredible. Crazy Li actually forgave him!"
"Demi Kelis... It's really unexpected!"
"The change of the Argentine team is mainly reflected in the front court. [Angel] DiMaria replaced [Beast] Carlos Tvez, [Little Smoke Gun] Higuain replaced the back midfielder Fernando Gago..."
"Compared with the first half, Argentina's formation has also changed slightly. Messi retreated to the position of the shadow front. Di Maria and Aguero occupied two sides, Higuain and Diego Milito double centers occupied the penalty area, and the single-back Cambiaso... This is more like a two-winged formation!"
"... This is a relatively clever tactical adjustment. In the face of intensive defense, the sideline breakthrough is indeed a relatively useful tactic... However, considering that the average height of the Greek defensive players is more than 1.9 meters, and the height of Higuain and Diego Milito is no more than 1.85 meters. It will be more difficult for the Genting team to open the Greek team's goal by relying on high-altitude bombing!"
The commentators seem to be very experienced.
In an instant, they analyzed Li Tongfan's tactical adjustment very thoroughly... on the court.
The competition is going on fiercely.
The Argentine team does focus on the attack on the two sides. The so-called 'side effect' also plays an important role on the football field. DiMaria and Aguero are both players with fast speed, good technology and strong personal breakthrough ability. Therefore, the Greek team gradually It's hard!
They had to take consecutive fouls to prevent Argentina's breakthrough.
The referee's whistle kept ringing.
In just five or six minutes, there were two players on the sidelines of the Greek team, Katzuranis and Chilios, with yellow cards on their back... However, the effect of the pass was not ideal!
Facing the defense line with an average height of 1.91 meters for the Greek team, in terms of high-altitude balls, it is difficult for Milito and Higuain to gain an advantage, and if the low-level ball is passed, it is difficult to send the football into the penalty area smoothly... Crazy Li's adjustment seems to be in a dead end again!
The 57th minute.
[Angel] Di Maria broke through two people in a row on the side, forced a low-level pass, and was blocked from the bottom line by Greek left-back Torosidis... Argentina got a corner.
The players with good header skills in the Blue and White Army are all concentrated in the Greek team's penalty area, ready to compete for the top, and brought the football to the corner flag area to prepare for the penalty. It is the positioning master Riquelme!
[King of Barcelona] Messi did not drill into the restricted area.
He rushed to the corner area to catch Riquelme and make a tactical corner kick.
Riquelme saw Messi reaching for the ball.
To be honest, at this moment, Riquelme really wants to pass the football to Messi, because according to the height of the two teams, if they are directly sent to the penalty area, the Argentine players may grab the point, and the tactical corner kick is a good choice... However, considering the halftime, 'head Li Tongfan repeatedly asked the team to play more high-altitude balls. Although he did not understand the reason, he finally decided to abide by the tactical arrangement of the head coach!
While Messi attracted two defensive players, Riquelme made an instant free throw.
The football was hung high into the penalty area!
On the sidelines.
Rehagel, who saw this scene, suddenly relaxed a lot. The Greek team was most afraid of the high-altitude ball. He smiled and turned to the seat of the conductor's seat, wanting to have a rest... But, at this time... There was a sudden change on the field - no one expected that in the face of this high-hanging football, he would grab the first At one point, it's not Moras, who is 1.93 meters tall, Kieljax, who is 1.92 meters tall, or Papadopoulos, who is 1.9 meters tall... It's not any of these big players of the Greek team!!
It's Demichelis, who is only 1.84 meters tall!
Demichelis, like a roaring Tianzung up, accurately judged the first point of the football's fall, and then shook his head to attack the goal... The football instantly changed its flight route and flew towards the goal.
The speed is very fast!
However, the route seems to be a little bit correct!
Zorvas, the goalkeeper of the Greek team, was light in his heart and made a subconscious judgment in an instant. He believed that in a second or two, the football would lie down in his arms obediently. In the stands, he would remember the applause given to him... But... The crowd in the Greek team's penalty area was really too dense!
Before flying into the arms of Zorvas, football first touched the back of Greek defender Kirjax, and then bounced back... This scene is so similar to the scene that happened when Argentina shot many times before.
All the people in the penalty area are a little stunned!
Except for one person - Martin Demichelis!!!
Since the second half of the game, from the first second he stepped on the lawn, he has gone all out. The mistakes in the first half made him feel uncontrollable shame all over his body, and the only way to wash away the shame is to defeat the opponent fiercely!
Therefore, even after finishing the header just now, he did not hesitate to follow immediately, in case the goalkeeper saved the ball and immediately made a make-up shot... The opportunity is for those who are prepared!
Football field mountain, this sentence is indeed a famous saying.
When others were still stunned, Demikaris was like a furious lion. The top ball on his head fell just now. At this moment, his long hair was like an angry black flame, fluttering in the wind of the Peter Mocaba Stadium in Pologani!
It was a shocking moment!
Demichelis rushed two steps and bounced in front of the football after landing.
Lift your legs.
Shoot.
Football flies out!
He used so much power that after shooting, the whole person had an incredible meal in the air... And in the face of such a shot, all reactions were ridiculous!
Goalkeeper Zorvas didn't even have time to blink his eyes, and the football flew into the goal!
This time, nothing can stop its route!
This time, Demichelis held his head high, and he didn't have to bow his head again!
This time, [Otto the Great] Rehagel turned around on the sidelines. He smiled and saw the moment when the Greek team's goal was opened by the long-haired man!
This time, it's redemption!
A person's salvation!
