The first five minutes of the second half were spent in the testing phase, and no one was able to pose a threat to the opponent's goal. However, the fanatical atmosphere created in the Kazan Arena did not decrease at all. On the contrary, it became more and more high, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

"aoaooaooaoaooaoooooo——"

Van Carey's cross after breaking through from the left was blocked by Mercado who stepped up in time. Referee Fagani blew his whistle to signal a substitution on the sidelines.

Van Basten turned his head and looked over, raising his eyebrows:"Substitute Aguero, who is going down?" The red number displayed on the substitution electronic board was No. 21, which was Aguero replacing Dybala.

In fact, Van Basten had already thought about such an adjustment. After all, only Dybala was invisible in the entire first half. It can be said that it was a big mistake of Sampaoli's formation. This substitution can also be regarded as a mistake. Self-correcting errors.

The broadcast screen then showed Dutch coach Van Basten. This intention was relatively obvious. Argentina, coached by Sampaoli, was the first to make adjustments. Should he make targeted adjustments?

Van Basten has plans to make adjustments, but not now. After all, the team still leads 2:1, and there are no obvious problems on both offense and defense.

Aspiring to be a top coach, he knows not to make substitutions just for the sake of substitutions!

Van Aanholt threw a ball from the offensive left sideline. After consecutive kicks, the football came to the feet of Van Carey, who was attacking the left rib.

Facing the defense of Mascherano and Mercado, he very calmly stopped and changed direction to the right to get a passing opportunity. He made a cross from the inside of the instep of his right foot at a 45-degree angle from the left and accurately found the center to outflank him. Depay, but he failed to find his aim well under Rojo's tight marking, and the football missed the right goal post.

Argentina took a goal kick in the backcourt, and after multiple passes, the football came to the feet of Messi in the frontcourt.

With Aguero in the frontcourt, Argentina's offense seems to have a bridgehead. Although he is only 1.7 meters tall, since Argentina does not take high-altitude balls, it has no impact.

Aguero's bottom plate is strong, and Van Dijk can hardly carry it without using foul actions.

Van Dijk has played against Aguero many times in the Premier League and knows that he is very cunning. Therefore, defense often can only rely on the body and consciousness. Fouling is the last resort unless it is absolutely necessary.

The Netherlands has free kick master Van Kerry, and Argentina has free kick master Messi. Giving free kicks in dangerous places is tantamount to giving away points.

No one expected that Argentina's first substitution would turn things around, forcing the Netherlands, who were leading the score, to grind in their own half. Van Carey, who had high hopes from Dutch fans, disappeared for a time.

Standing in the home team coach's command area, Van Basten frowned and felt a little worried.

But there is no problem with his team's defense. Worrying is purely a sixth sense. If he needs to make adjustments, he doesn't know where to start.

"Just take it one step at a time."

As Aguero came on as a substitute, Argentina's offense became more and more threatening. The Argentine fans in the audience cheered louder and louder. The world champion Maradona, who was sitting in the VIP seat, began to show his presence, dancing and dancing. It seemed as if Argentina had gone from being behind to taking the lead.

In the blink of an eye, the game time reached the sixty-minute mark of the game, which meant that fifteen minutes had passed in the second half. The scoreboard showed that the score was still 2:1, with the Netherlands leading Argentina.

However, the situation is already developing in Argentina's favor. The Argentine fans in the audience and the Argentine fans in front of the TV think so.

Messi, Di Maria, Aguero and Banega cooperate in a small area in the midfield. He played very well, and his shot was dazzling and hard to guard against. Fortunately, the defensive system led by Van Dijk was in a good position, and Cillessen performed bravely and kept the goal.

In this case, the game After another two minutes, the Dutch team switched from defense to attack before the offensive ball was given to Van Kerry. The ball was intercepted by Argentina and launched an attack on the spot.

Van de Beek, who retreated from defense, adopted tactics decisively with the assistance of Wijnaldum. A foul was committed. The referee Fagani blew the whistle to indicate a foul. It was the same as the tactical foul committed by the Argentine players in the frontcourt in the first half. He only blew the whistle but did not give a card.

Argentina did not have a high altitude advantage, and free kicks in the backcourt were taken from the ground. Pushing forward, after many continuous passes, the football rolled close to the ground towards Aguero who completed the turn.

Van Dijk did not get stuck this time, and was passed by Aguero. De Ligt made up for it in time, and in the uncertainty Can you use regular actions to do a good defensive job and take fouls?

"Beep~"

The referee Fagani blew the whistle again.

Since Dericht's foul was in a dangerous area, Fagani gave Dericht a yellow card after the whistle.

"De Ligt's foul position is very dangerous. It is on the right side of the top of the penalty area, which is just suitable for Messi to take the penalty. China

Channel 5 commentator He Wei frowned and said:"De Ligt, who received a yellow card, accumulated two yellow cards. If the Netherlands can advance to the quarterfinals of this World Cup, he will not be able to play.""

De Ligt's foul was entirely to make up for the loophole that Van Dijk was passed by. Coach Van Basten sighed. Fortunately, the central defender also has reliable De Vrij. He can play with Van Dijk at the end.

But the premise is that his The team must defeat Argentina to advance to the next knockout round.

Fagani sprayed white foam at the foul spot, and Messi walked over with the football in his arms.

Obviously, he wanted to take the direct free kick

"wowoowowoowowoowo——"

The Dutch fans and Chinese fans in the audience realized something and let out a burst of exclamations.

Fan Kerry, who was in charge of the wall, looked at the confident Messi and felt a little uneasy.

And his feeling later became a reality.

Messi's direct free kick rose from the ground, passed over Van de Beek's head, and flew to the upper right corner of the goal with a strong inward arc.

Cillessen and Messi are teammates in Barcelona. He knows Messi's characteristics of taking free kicks, but sometimes it is like this. Knowing is one thing, but defending is another.

The wall guarded the near corner and the goalkeeper defended the far corner. However, Cillessen kept an eye on it and began to move to the left the moment Messi touched the ball. What he didn't expect was that Messi's direct free kick had excellent power and angle. There is simply no way.

Cillessen, who had already done his best, had nothing to do in the face of Messi's high-quality free kick and could only declare that it was beyond his reach.……

"Goooooooooooooooooal——"

As the football crashed into the snow-white net, the iconic drawl of Sky Britannia commentator Andy Gray echoed throughout the commentary box.

After scoring the goal, Messi opened his arms and ran wildly. His relatively delicate face looked a bit ferocious at this time.

"aoaooaoaooaoaooaooaoooo——"

The Argentinian fans in the Kazan Arena instantly became crazy, and the cheers broke out in waves.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave:"Messi stood up at the critical moment! His direct free kick broke through the goal guarded by club teammate Cillessen! 2:2!"

"Messi played the ball beautifully. Commentator

Zhu Guanghu exclaimed:"The height of the free kick is just over Van de Beek's header. The power and angle are perfect!" Messi used his superstar performance to help Argentina equalize the score, and the first quarterfinal spot of this World Cup was reborn in suspense!"

Messi and the Argentinian players celebrated the goal wildly. Van Carey was a little depressed, but he did not feel discouraged. On the contrary, he was full of confidence in the game. The

Argentine players who equalized the score must have relieved themselves of their psychological baggage, and they will definitely strengthen their attack with great momentum. , trying to overtake the score in one fell swoop, this... is the moment for him to show himself!

Messi, who was passing and shooting, glanced at Van Kerry unintentionally. What made him dissatisfied was that Van Kerry was high-spirited, as if it was not the Netherlands who lost the ball.

Damn it!

It’s this pretentious look again!

Humph~

I’ll score another goal so that you can’t pretend anymore!
