Argentina dressing room.

The atmosphere was a little dull, but the expressions on the Hammers' faces were still relaxed.

The players were talking quietly. At this time, Li Tongfan opened the door and came in.

So far, Li Tongfan has not come up with any good way to break [Otto the Great] Rehagel's almost shameless Tietong tactics. All he can do is to slightly adjust the Argentine team's tactics in a targeted manner, which is better than nothing. Already...

"In the second half of the game, we made substitutions..."

Li Tongfan came to the tactical board, picked up the ink pen, paused for a moment, and then began to write a list of people to be replaced on it. At this time, Demichelis's head, which had made an unforgivable mistake in the first half, was almost lowered into his crotch!

He was sure that the so-called substitution mentioned by the head coach must be aimed at him!

The other players almost have the same view, 'because the boss' has very strict requirements for everyone on the team. Anyone - even the number one core [Barcelona King] Messi, if he makes a mistake, he should not Mistakes made will also be met with unabashed rebuke!

This is a coaching method that makes everyone feel fair and does not dare to neglect at all.

There was a bit of silence in the locker room for a while.

It wasn't until the squeaking sound of the ink pen tip rubbing against the blackboard disappeared that Demichelis raised his head. He didn't see the substitution sign on the tactical board for the first time, but saw the eyes of head coach Li Tongfan, with a strange look on his face. Full of seriousness, staring directly at himself...

"Sure enough, I'm going to be replaced!"

Seeing the coach's eyes like this, Demichelis no longer had any luck in his heart.

…

…

Peter Mokaba Stadium, Polokwane City.

During the halftime break, some fans looked for places to open water gates, and some went to stores and supermarkets in the stadium to buy food... Like the players, they also Feeling tired, they are taking the time to regain their strength and prepare to continue cheering for their respective teams in the second half!

For the fans, the game is also a victory!

In the commentary box.

Commentators from various countries are seizing the time to analyze the situation of the first half of the game from a professional perspective and predict possible adjustments for both sides in the second half...

"... It was a complete accident that the Greek team took the lead, but it is also true that the Argentine team was helpless in the face of the opponent's iron defense... If Crazy Li can't find a good way to solve this problem in the second half, then maybe, he is about to retire [Otto the Great] Rehagel will create the last miracle in his head coaching career - becoming the first person to defeat [God on the sidelines] Madman Lee!"

"...I don't think the Greek team can win the final victory. After all, Crazy Li has brought us too many miracles, including the Champions League battle at Old Trafford, the San Siro battle, and the final at the Olympic Stadium in the Real Madrid era. battle, and the incredible reversal at the Ernst Happel Stadium in the 2008 European Cup... Even if there is only the last second left in the game, a middle finger from Crazy Li can change the game. He He is such a man who makes everything impossible possible... The Greek team is too happy too early!”

"However, you must note that breaking the iron barrel formation is a worldwide problem. The Greek team has made it clear that it must defend with authority. Even if Rehagel puts 10 defenders in the half in the second half, it is not impossible. of!"

"...I guess the Argentina team will definitely make a substitution. Demichelis, who made an unforgivable mistake, will definitely disappear from the Argentine team's starting lineup forever!"

"Well, I agree with you on this aspect. With the leadership skills of madman Li Tiexue, Demichelis' journey to the World Cup in South Africa has come to an end!"

The commentators were busy analyzing what might happen in the second half.

[God of War] Batistuta, who served as the temporary commentator, did not speak. At the end of the game, he clearly saw that when Li Tongfan turned and walked towards the player tunnel, his eyebrows were tightly knitted together. This was not a common sight. His calm and confident expression made Batistuta feel bad...

"Didn't Li find a way to win?"

He felt worried about his speculation.

…

…

Fifteen minutes later.

force! !

Japanese referee Nishimura Yuichi, with 45,000 fans watching in anticipation at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, blew the whistle to start the second half of the game!

The game starts again!

The Greek team took the lead.

Rehhagel's team showed no enterprising spirit as always. They just made a sloppy cross attack from the wing. When they saw that they couldn't gain any advantage, they immediately retreated to their own half. Continue to set up the iron barrel array!

Argentina took possession of the ball again less than thirty seconds after the restart.

However, compared with the first half, the players on the field of the Blue and White Army have indeed undergone relatively big changes——

"...Crazy Li indeed made substitution adjustments. However, completely contrary to our guess, the 'sinner' Demichelis still appeared on the field... This is really unbelievable. Crazy Li actually forgave him. !”

"Demichelis...it's really unexpected!"

"The changes in the Argentine team are mainly reflected in the frontcourt. [Angel] Di María replaced [The Beast] Carlos Tevez, and [Smoking Gun] Higuain replaced midfielder Fernando Gago..."

"Compared with the first half, the Argentine team's formation has also changed slightly. Messi retreated to the shadow forward position, Di Maria and Aguero occupied the two wings, Higuain and Diego Milito double center Occupying the penalty area, Cambiasso is the only defensive midfielder... This is more like a formation with two wings flying together! "

"... This is a relatively clever tactical adjustment. Facing intensive defense, breaking through from the wing and turning into the middle is indeed a relatively useful tactic... However, considering that the average height of the Greek team's defensive players is over 1.9 meters , and Higuain and Diego Milito are not taller than 1.85 meters, it will be more difficult for the Argentine team to rely on high-altitude bombing to open the Greek team’s goal!”

The commentators seemed very experienced.

In the blink of an eye, they thoroughly analyzed Li Tongfan's tactical adjustments.

…

On the field.

The competition is going on fiercely.

The Argentina team has indeed focused its attack on the two wings. The so-called 'wing effect' also plays an important role on the football field. Both Di Maria and Aguero are fast and skilled. , a player with extremely strong personal breakthrough ability. Therefore, the Greek team gradually became difficult to defend on the wing!

They had to commit consecutive fouls to prevent Argentina's breakthrough.

The referee's whistle kept sounding.

In just five or six minutes, the Greek team had two players on the wing, Kachulanis and Chilios, who received yellow cards...

However, the effect of the cross was not ideal!

Facing the Greek team's defense line with an average height of 1.91 meters, it is difficult for Milito and Higuain to take advantage of the high-altitude ball, and it is difficult to successfully send the football into the penalty area when the low ball is passed...

Crazy Li’s adjustment seems to have reached a dead end again!

57th minute.

[Angel] Di Maria broke through two people on the wing and forced a low pass, but the Greek left back Torosidis stretched his leg to block the baseline...

Argentina won a corner kick.

The players with better heading skills in the Blue and White Army gathered in the penalty area of ​​the Greek team, preparing to fight for the top. The one who brought the football to the corner flag area and prepared to take the corner kick was the set-piece master Riquelme!

[Barcelona King] Messi did not get into the penalty area.

He rushed towards the corner kick area, wanting to meet Riquelme and do tactical corner kick coordination.

Riquelme saw Messi reaching for the ball.

To be honest, at this moment, Riquelme really wanted to pass the football to Messi, because according to the height comparison of the players of the two teams, if it was sent directly into the penalty area, the possibility of the Argentine players grabbing the point was extremely small, and Tactical corner kick is a good choice...

However, considering that during the halftime break, 'boss' Lee Tong-beom repeatedly asked the team to play more high-altitude balls, although he did not understand the reason, he finally decided to abide by the head coach's tactical arrangement!

Taking advantage of Messi attracting two defenders, Riquelme instantly made a free throw.

The football was lobbed high into the penalty area!

Courtside.

Seeing this scene, Rehagel felt a lot more relaxed. The Greek team was least afraid of high-altitude balls. He smiled and turned around and walked to the command seat, wanting to take a rest...

But, at this moment...

A sudden change occurred on the field——

No one would have thought that facing this lofted football, the one who grabbed the first point was not the 1.93-meter-tall Moraes, nor the 1.92-meter-tall Kiljax. Papadopoulos, who is 1.90 meters tall...

Not any of these Greek big men! !

But Demichelis, who is only 1.84 meters tall!

Like a roaring god rising from the ground, Demichelis accurately judged the first point where the football fell, and then shook his head to attack the goal...

The football changed its flight path instantly and flew towards the goal.

high speed!

However, the route seems to be slightly on the right track!

The Greek team goalkeeper Zorvas felt a light in his heart and made a subconscious judgment in an instant. He believed that in a second or two, the football would lie in his arms obediently, and the people in the stands would remember the applause given to him. …

but……

The crowd in the Greek team's penalty area was too dense!

Before the football flew into the arms of Zorvas, it first touched the back of Greek defender Kiljax, and then bounced back...

This scene is so similar to what happened when the Argentine team shot many times before.

Everyone in the penalty area was stunned for a moment!

Except for one person——

Martin Demichelis! ! !

From the second half of the game, he went all out from the first second he stepped on the lawn. His mistakes in the first half made him feel uncontrollable shame all over his body, and the only way to wash away the shame was to beat him hard. opponent!

Therefore, even after heading the ball and completing the attack, he did not hesitate at all, but immediately followed up, preparing to shoot immediately in case the goalkeeper succeeded in saving...

Opportunities are for those who are prepared!

Football field is a mountain, this sentence is indeed a wise saying.

While the others were still in a daze, Demichalis was like an angry lion. His hair fell off because of the header just now. At this moment, his long hair was like an angry black flame, fluttering in the wind of Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane!

It was a shocking moment!

Demichalis rushed two steps and arrived in front of the ball that bounced after landing.

Raised his legs.

Shoot.

The ball flew out!

He used such great strength that after shooting, the whole person paused in the air incredibly...

And facing such a shot, all reactions were ridiculous!

Goalkeeper Zorvas didn't even have time to blink before the ball flew into the goal!

This time, nothing could block its route!

This time, Demichalis held his head high, and he didn't have to bow his head again!

This time, [Otto the Great] Rehhagel turned around on the sidelines, and he saw with fear and smile that the Greek team's goal was blasted open by the long-haired man!

This time, it's redemption!

One person's redemption! ——
