Vol 3 Chapter 27: Argentina without Messi (below)

Beginning with "ping-pong diplomacy", China's foreign sports activities have all put on a little diplomatic work. For example, teams with outstanding performance will participate in some local social activities after the match and meet with some Chinese and overseas Chinese. It is more normal for the Olympic team to go around Hong Kong and Macau.

That's basically what sports fans do for cheerleaders and athletes for the country. Therefore, when a small number of Finnish Chinese and overseas Chinese were mobilized and rushed to Helsinki, the schedule of the national youth team also needed to be adjusted.

Since the final is on August 30, and the first game of La Liga is on September 1, there is only one day in the middle. Therefore, Wang Ai only has the possibility of theoretically participating in the first game of Laco, but can actually train before the season. Wang Ai, who did not participate in the team training, could not even enter the big list.

It's also possible to take two days off. It happened that Wang Ai had a bit of an idea after the national youth competition, so he called the club and planned to take time off. Unfortunately, Wang Ai didn't understand Spanish, and the club owner, manager, and coach didn't know much English. Fortunately, Wang Ai remembered her little translator, Constance, and called for leave after she arrived at the club.

Irueta didn't show happiness or unhappiness, but only asked Wang Ai to return to the team before Thursday (September 4).

Wang Aiyan breathed a sigh of relief while admonishing himself: This is not my team! It can't be too casual, if it is not an impression that it is not disciplined, it will not be good for professional development. Some Brazilian stars' careers have plummeted after they became famous. In addition to poor personal management, their external reputation is also a key factor. If the big clubs don't, they can only get worse.

At 17:00 on August 27th, the semi-final between Brazil and Colombia took place first. After the previous difficult Brazil 1-0 knockout of Spain, this game eliminated Colombia 2: 0 again, the difference between goals It was midfielder Edson Campos and Evandro Gobert. It is worth noting that Evandro has scored five goals in five games and is the biggest rival of the Chinese team Mao Jianqing (five goals) and Wang Ai (four goals) on the scorer's list.

At 19.30 that night, China and Argentina made final preparations.

The match was played at the Finner Stadium. The referee was Martin Swedes. There were more than 7,000 fans at the scene, of which nearly 1,000 were Chinese fans from all over Finland.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the match between the two sides officially started.

At the beginning, both sides were a bit cautious, and most of the formation's strength shrank after the middle circle. Argentina should be concerned about the strong attack power of the Chinese team, while the Chinese team was impressed by Argentina's defense, fearing that their offensive was blocked, but the opponent took the lead.

Even Wang Ai did not rush to attack, but tried to break a few times along the wing to test the opponent's defensive response.

After more than ten minutes, the two sides' worries gradually dissipated, and the game began to become increasingly fierce.

Wang Ai endured for a few more minutes and actively participated in wing defense, only then gradually returned to taste.

Seems a bit too conservative before the game? In front of this Argentina, in addition to strong physical and defensive moves, it seems no big deal. And their offense is even less desirable, and there is no sign of intentional retention in previous games.

Think again about the record of this batch of Messi's Argentine team entering adulthood ... Wang Ai suddenly opened his eyes!

His mother's name, "Argentina," was stunned! Today's Argentina is far from Maradona's, or even Batistuta's.

Out of security considerations, Wang Ai didn't dare to tell his teammates about this judgment, and he started to play happily.

Wang Yongbo noticed that the state of the boss had risen, and he frequently launched offensives, getting more and more forward, and subconsciously approached the left road. This move, again, pulled Hao Junmin from the right road, along with two main forwards Mao Jianqing and Jiang Chen was gradually excited.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Wang Ai quickly kicked the ball and rushed forward. After throwing off the opponent Essequier Garre, he ran along the front of the penalty area. Several defensive players were cautious and did not hurry. Forward, but constantly moving to block Wang Ai's shooting line. Wang Ai found that he had no chance after five or six steps. So he gave Wang Yongpei the heels. Wang Yongpo also found that there was no chance for long-range shots, so he directly gave Jiang Chen in the defensive formation of the opponent.

Jiang Chen told the opposing defender that he could n’t push back. He was anxious. Suddenly he saw Wang Ai running backwards. The position was at the free throw point. His chaos entered and the opponent ’s formation was chaotic. A cross in a very small range, Wang Ai ran in place, facing the ball, and shot from the left foot.

In the China-Arab battle, in the 33rd minute of the first half, the captain of the Chinese team, on the 13th, received a wonderful pass from his teammates and opened the record.

In the cheers of the fans, Wang Ai patted Jiang Chen: "This pass is good, it must be like this, trust your teammates. If you are in my position, like me, don't want anything, just go straight Kick. Even if they don't, it scares them. "

After speaking, Wang Ai added: "Suddenness, you know? Suddenness, there must be suddenness."

With thick eyebrows, Jiang Chen nodded frequently. As a striker, Wang Ai has not scored as many as the left forward. He really needs to learn. What's more rare is that the boss will always practice and explain in actual combat.

Wang Ai's goal seemed to sound the horn of the Chinese team's attack. It breaks the myth that "Argentina" is so powerful that it is invincible.

In the next ten minutes of the first half, Mao Jianqing, Jiang Chen, Wang Yongbo, Hao Junmin and other players bravely launched an attack. With Wang Ai's support, they scored two goals.

Argentina's strong defense line avalanches under the Chinese team's offensive that is not detrimental to body, technology, and consciousness. However, the other team loses one another. The figures of the red jerseys are active in the blue and white jersey lineup, driving the clamor of the audience louder than loud. .

It was finally halftime and Argentina was able to breathe.

After Liu Chunming forced the joy and warned the Chinese defenders to stay in position and not to be impulsive, the second half of the game continued.

The Argentine team separated Esquinaire to keep a close eye on Wang Ai. The front court offensive was organized under the leadership of captain Lucas Biglia and threatened the Chinese team's goals several times.

But Essequinaire didn't want Wang Ai. Although Wang Ai was affected to some extent, Hao Junmin stood up again, taking on the role of the second core, and in the 39th minute of the second half, the substitute appeared on the bench Lin grabbed a header in front of the goal, then received a cross from Hao Junmin, and the goal was successful.

After 90 minutes of play, the Chinese team eliminated the traditional strong team Argentina with a score of 4: 0 and met the Brazilian team in the final.
