Football Modifier

A super victory of 5:0, the media’s hype, the fans’ crazy pursuit...

All this made the Argentine team's popularity rise after the first game, and its momentum was unprecedented. The names of Messi, Crazy Lee, Higuain, Riquelme and Zanetti became the names of this period. The most frequent noun appearing in newspapers, websites and TV programs around the world!

Against the background of such fanatical public opinion, even some hard-core senior celebrities could not bear the loneliness and jumped out to speak out with their own experiences——

Maradona, who is still recovering from his injury: "Yes, Crazy Li is more suitable for the Argentina team than me. He is too crazy, a crazy guy... Haha, 5:0, I can't believe it, I am even willing to be a crazy guy Lee’s assistant coach…”

UEFA President Platini: "I admit that I saw a brand new Argentina team. There is no doubt that they are in good shape and have high morale. It is natural for bookmakers to list Crazy Li's team as the favorites... "

Crow-mouthed football king Pele: "The Argentine team has shown a world-class level, and their football is extremely sharp... However, in comparison, I am still more optimistic about the Spanish team, because their football style represents the evolution of football in the past ten years. development trend……"

(Postscript: When Li Tongfan and Bosque saw this sentence, they burst into tears at the same time. Old Li said it was lucky, while the gray-haired old coach Bosque had the urge to pull out a kitchen knife and kill people.)

Zinedine Zidane, a generational artistic football master and the founder of France's green version of Tietou Gong, was full of praise for Messi's state when being interviewed by reporters: "In the World Cup, he can score a hat-trick within forty minutes. Magic, this is a dream performance! There is no doubt that Leo Messi is creating his era step by step...

The famous former Argentine striker and [Son of the Wind] Caniggia also made no secret of his admiration for the new coach Madman Li in his column in "El Pais": "He has created a brand new Argentine national team, cohesive , iron-blooded, hard-working...Abandoned many flashy things to make the team more competitive!"

…

After defeating Nigeria, Argentina's qualifying situation in Group B is very good.

Before the Niagara war, the other two teams in Group B - [Tai Chi Tigers] South Korea and the Greek team, the creators of European myths in the past, had already finished fighting at the Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth!

After ninety minutes of the game, the [Taechi Tigers] South Korean team took advantage of two mistakes by the Greek team and scored two goals to defeat [Otto the Great] Rehagel's team with a score of 2:0!

Especially in the seventh minute of the second half, San Lung Park, who plays for the Premier League giants Manchester United, stole the ball in the midfield and passed two people to go to the meeting alone, piercing the Greek team's goal in one fell swoop. This wonderful scene made countless Korean fans so excited that they were in ecstasy. Desperate to die!

After the game, some English media even used the exaggerated title "Park Ji-sung struck with lightning and challenged the Nordic gods with swords" to describe the game. This shows how exciting Park Ji-sung's goal was in the eyes of the world's media! !

South Korea's first match in the World Cup was equally exciting!

In China, Han Qiaosheng, the famous big-mouthed football host, also made a shocking statement——

Uncle Han said: "I shed tears for the Korean Red Devils fans!"

"...In today's game, when I saw the Korean Red Devils fans, tears came out immediately. I remembered the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. I was in the front, in the center of the Seoul Convention and Exhibition Center in South Korea, and there were dense Koreans everywhere. Fans are cheering for the national team... In the game that day, South Korea defeated Portugal, Japan tied with Belgium, and China lost to Costa Rica. But that day was called 'Asia Day'! The center back Li Zhengxiu who opened the scoring for the team used to play as a forward. At that time, he could not score against the Chinese National Youth Team. However, now he scored against the European champion Greece... They are all here Making great strides forward, what is Chinese football doing?”

Uncle Han's tearful words can only reflect the enthusiasm of a few conscientious football people for Chinese football. However, today, as the crackdown on gangs and gambling is still going on vigorously, Chinese football is irreversibly heading towards the cold winter step by step... The hope of Chinese fans , lies in the man in front of the Argentina team’s commanding bench at the World Cup in South Africa!

…

After the four teams in Group B were fully unveiled, most media and fans concluded that Argentina was basically considered to have the right to qualify from the group without any dispute.

After all, in terms of strength, although the South Korean team won the first game and scored three points, they are still far behind the African Eagles Nigeria team. It is even more impossible to challenge Crazy Li's Argentina team! The Greek team, Nigeria and South Korean team will fight for another qualifying spot, and the South Korean team can only be said to have a certain advantage in this life-and-death contest!

After the second match day, the third match day is about to come. In the match on June 13, there is also a popular super-rich team that will officially make its debut in the South African battlefield——

Three Lions England Team!

As the new European champions in 2008, the England team has emerged with many powerful rookies in the past two years, and some veterans such as Owen, Alan Smith, Beckham and others have also found their second spring. This has made the England team's strength greatly increase in the past two years!

For the Three Lions, the biggest loss is that they lost their former champion coach Crazy Lee, but the arrival of [Gold Medal Coach] Capello has injected new strength into this proud team. In the past year, they finished the qualifying journey with a perfect record and advanced to the World Cup, with a brilliant record!

With the "pearl" of Argentina's 5:0 victory over Nigeria, the media and fans around the world have become more excited about Fabio Capello's team!

…

…

"Cheers! Cheers!!"

With the sound of "bang", countless cups filled with golden beer collided fiercely.

In the bar of the HPC Sports Center of the University of Pretoria, the Argentine team, which had won a great victory, was celebrating its victory wantonly. Under the dim lights, there was laughter and joy. On the stage of the bar, an old black South African musician was playing a soothing saxophone, and the young goalkeeper Romero, who liked to play pranks, was holding a beer in one hand and a microphone in the other, bending over and singing a completely untune Dutch folk song with a shrill voice...

The bar was crowded, with coaches and players walking around.

Surprisingly, the center of the crowd was not the "boss" Li Tongfan who was strategizing, nor was it Messi who performed a hat trick and stole the show, but the VIP who was temporarily invited by Li to the HPC Sports Center -

[God of War] Gabriel Batistuta.

Argentines have always advocated offense, so throughout the glorious history of the Blue and White Army, there are many stars, but the famous ones such as Guillermo Stabile, Maradona, Batistuta, Caniggia, etc., are mostly attacking players!

From the nature of football, South American players' worship of offensive football is a factor flowing in their blood, so [God of War] Batistuta is undoubtedly the idol of many younger players!

Li Tongfan dragged Batistuta to the HPC Sports Center without saying anything, and immediately some young players and players of the youth team under 21 years old exclaimed!

Signatures, photos, and at the end, they still want to party with their idol [God of War]!

Lao Li, who has always been strict, waved his hand generously this time and agreed to the proposal of the Hammers to hold a small team cocktail party to celebrate. After all, it is necessary to relax appropriately after the war. The next game against the South Korean team will be in five days, so there is no need to be too urgent. Relaxation is the way of civil and martial arts!

Besides, Lao Li pulled [God of War] over so familiarly for a purpose.

The crowd was having a great time, and under Lao Li's deliberate language inducement, the players in the bar who were drinking excitedly soon shifted the focus of the topic to the performance and record of the Argentine national team in the previous two world cups!

As the absolute main force of the Blue and White Army in several consecutive World Cups, Batistuta naturally knows all the detailed experiences in this regard. The Hammers listened to the legendary [God of War] telling his personal experience and feelings during the game in detail one by one, and they were all very focused...

When they heard that the team won a big victory and Batistuta performed a hat trick, cheers could not help but ring out in the bar, and the Hammers' eyes were shining. When they heard that the Argentine team was in trouble and faced a crisis, the Hammers were eager to help the team on the field at that time...

Those experiences and game processes have been seen countless times on TV or in the media and newspapers by the players. However, at this moment, when they are in the World Cup arena, listening to their most admired idols personally telling the thrilling scenes at that time, they suddenly feel excited!

Especially when Batistuta finally talked about the shameful scene of Argentina being eliminated in the group stage of the 2002 World Cup with regret, the corners of his eyes were a little wet when he saw his idol [God of War]. The players present fell into silence one by one, and everyone felt like a volcano was about to erupt in their hearts...

Bang!

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Messi put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, then looked at his teammates and the "boss", gritted his teeth and said: "I'm going to rest, there is training tomorrow morning!"

The teammates were stunned and instantly understood what Messi meant.

As one of the world's famous super giants, Argentina has always enjoyed a very high reputation in the world, but the reality is that the stars of the Pampas have indeed performed well in their respective clubs and have made a big splash, while the Argentine national team has not won a heavyweight championship for many consecutive years!

This World Cup is considered the most likely one for the Blue and White Army to win the championship. Whether in terms of coach or player configuration, it is the strongest in history. If they cannot bring the World Cup to the Pampas this time, even if they make it to the top four, it will be a great shame!

Batistuta's affectionate narration allowed the players to feel the helpless and sad history of the national team up close, and also cleansed everyone's soul at this moment. They felt what kind of expectations they shouldered, and understood that a 5:0 in a group match was nothing at all. If they were so happy now that they were unrestrained, what awaited them would be a cruel and humiliating ending!

As a team determined to win the championship, they must not be carried away by victory, and they must not build their pride on such a low-level requirement as qualifying for the group stage. They must always keep a cool head and always put training and maintaining their status first!

The top core Messi set a good example with his actions, and other players followed suit. With the sound of "bang", "bang", "bang", the Hammers threw the cups still filled with fresh and refreshing beer on the table without any nostalgia, and then stood up one by one with red eyes and turned around and left!

"We must get up early for training tomorrow!"

"Really, why do we have to listen to the "boss" and come to drink?"

"Yes, the "boss" is really true. We are a team that wants to win the championship. We must always maintain sufficient training and maintain the best condition. How can we relax like this?"

"Well, we must strictly demand ourselves! !"

The Hammers complained shamelessly as they walked, as if everything was the fault of the "boss" Li Tongfan, and they didn't think about who proposed to hold a cocktail party to celebrate... Lao Li sat on the high stool in front of the bar, and his red face suddenly turned black: Damn it, what kind of people are they, more shameless than me! !

[God of War] Batty laughed when he saw this scene.

"Lee, now I know why you can succeed..." Batistuta leaned on the bar, holding the transparent glass and gently rotating it, and smiled: "Others can bring tactics and discipline to the team, but you make the team hungry and proactive..."

"Uh... is that so?" The sultry man showed a shy smile on his face, then raised his neck and took a sip of beer, and said shamelessly: "Actually, I think so too, hehe!"

Batistuta smiled.

This was his first time to meet Crazy Li. He originally thought that this legendary arrogant guy would be a serious, old-fashioned guy with high eyes... Who knew that, completely contrary to his imagination, Crazy Li gave him the feeling of an old friend who suddenly met after many years of not seeing each other, very... very interesting! !

"Oh, by the way, Gabriel, I think there is something you must help the team with!"

Old Li smiled shamelessly, pretending to suddenly remember something.

Batistuta tilted his head back and took a sip of beer. He stared at Lao Li with deep meaning, and suddenly laughed heartily: "Li, I think you have planned this long ago? Tell me, you forced me to come here, besides asking me to tell stories to the little ones, what other 'conspiracy' do you have?"
