I Just Can Score

Argentina is sought after because of its strong lineup, and they have another strong point--

They are the defending champions of Olympic football.

At the Athens Olympics four years ago, Argentina beat one opponent after another to win the gold medal.

The head coach Batista has long coached the Argentine u-20 youth team. He was promoted to the coach of the Olympic team in January this year. With the World Youth Championship lineup as his team, he called up a group of stars such as Messi and Riquelme to form This mighty Argentine team.

no doubt.

Argentina has only one goal - to win the gold medal!

The Argentine Olympic team is indeed very strong. Most of their players have played in the top European and Argentine leagues. Their ability is far higher than other teams. Brazil, which is considered to be the second most powerful, cannot compare with Argentina.

The most watched star in the Argentine team is Messi.

It is not easy for Messi to join the Argentine team. He already has a great reputation in the world, but he has never played for the Argentine national team at all levels, mainly because Barcelona has not let people go for a long time.

The Olympics will be held in August. Participating in the Olympics will definitely affect the preparations for the league, and even miss one or two rounds of the league. Of course, Barcelona does not want to let people go.

Because of the question of whether Messi will join, the Argentine Football Association and Barcelona Club had a huge dispute. Before the start of the Olympics, there were reports everywhere about whether Messi would participate in the Olympics.

It was not until July 30, when the Olympic Games were about to start, that FIFA finally ruled that Argentine star Messi should join the Olympic team in the Olympic Games.

At that time, the Barcelona club was still preparing to appeal, and Messi said that he would not wait for the result of the appeal, but packed his bags and went to China to join the Argentine Olympic team.

It can be seen from this that the dispute between Messi and Barcelona in participating in the Olympic Games.

After the ruling came out, Messi, who has been silent all the time, showed his character. He said, "If the FIFA ruling lets me stay, I will stay; if I am allowed to participate in the Olympic Games, I will pack up my things immediately. Go away and go to China to play with the Argentine Olympic team. I will not wait for the appeal ruling, it will be too late."

Barcelona definitely didn't want to have a conflict with Messi, they finally accepted the result, otherwise the genius in the team would be dissatisfied with the club, and the opponent would not be able to return to the team normally, it would be a bit of a loss.

The addition of Messi has greatly increased Argentina's strength.

If placed on the World Cup level, Messi will also receive huge attention, but considering his age, experience and other issues, he is only one of the top stars.

But it's different in the Olympic arena.

The Olympic team is all participating in the Olympic Games. Except for special overage players, all other players are under 23 years old. Messi's strength is quite strong. He is far higher than other players of the same age.

The same goes for past games.

In the match between Argentina and the Netherlands, it was relying on Messi's one shot and one pass that Argentina successfully defeated the Netherlands and approached the semi-finals of Olympic football.

After defeating the Netherlands, Argentina rushed back to the capital to prepare for the semi-finals.

They were very low-key the whole time.

When asked about the topic of playing against China in the semi-finals, whether it was the coaches, players, or external press officers, they all just said "I am looking forward to being the host Chinese team" coach.

Or just say some nonsense, like--

"China has a population of 1.3 billion and is one of the largest countries in the world. It is our honor to compete with the Chinese team..."

"We are looking forward to the contest with the Chinese team."

"Zhen Shaolong, No. 13 of the Chinese team, is the world's top shooter. We need to be very cautious in the game."

"The semi-final is not easy for us, we have to be very serious..."

Although Argentina appears to be low-key on the whole, and what they said in interviews is very interesting, but the media knows that Argentina is speaking "official language", and they don't want to reveal anything at all.

perhaps……

"Argentina probably thinks it's impolite to talk about defeating China in China?"

Some media speculated.

Argentina's low-key attitude gave the Chinese fans a good impression. After all, no one wanted to hear that a strong opponent said "beating the Chinese team easily", which is really hurtful.

There were also players in the Argentina squad that really talked about the game.

Messi is one.

Messi is one of the most watched stars. He talked about Zhen Shaolong in an interview, "He is the best shooter. I can't imagine that anyone can score so many goals."

"He's going to cause us a lot of trouble."

"I look forward to playing against him."

"..."

Argentina is very low-key externally, and will continue to discuss the final internally. Most players don't care much.

Aguero, the son-in-law of Maradona, joked during the training process, "Our luck is really good, the Chinese team. If I didn't come here to participate in the Olympic Games, I would never have imagined playing against the Chinese team. You understand me mean."

Aguero was talking about the poor performance of the Chinese team. In the past, the Chinese team only entered the Olympics once, entered the World Cup once, and participated in the World Series twice, but failed to score any goals.

This sounds a bit miserable.

If the Olympic Games were not held in the capital, it would be very difficult for Argentina to meet the Chinese team.

Others followed suit --

"Zhen Shaolong is a player of the Chinese team. In fact, I only know Zhen Shaolong."

"He's really good, the number of goals is amazing, but he can't beat us alone."

"Yes, the only Chinese team is Zhen Shaolong."

"This time it's easy."

"I'm already looking forward to the final, if nothing else, it should be Brazil."

"I am also looking forward to the contest with Brazil!"

"..."

Inside Argentina, the Chinese team is not taken seriously. They think that there is only one Chinese team, Zhen Shaolong.

cough cough...

In a way, they are right.

The external media analyzed it like this, "It is very difficult for the Chinese team to beat Argentina. Zhen Shaolong's scoring efficiency is indeed very high, but he is facing the entire Argentine team."

"Compared to Zhen Shaolong, Messi's performance is still a little immature, but he has a group of high-level teammates..."

"The game looked as if Zhen Shaolong was facing all the Argentine stars alone..."

This report embarrassed the rest of the Olympic team, but they had to admit that to some extent, the content of the report was true.

For example, the last game.

Zhen Shaolong took over all the offenses of the Olympic team, scored three goals by himself, and all they did was keep defending.

certainly.

Defense is also important.

But football is originally a sport of 11 people, and Zhen Shaolong scored all the goals, and it can be said that he led the Olympic team alone, and their role was relatively weakened.

Now facing the match against Argentina, they must count on Zhen Shaolong, otherwise they will not even have a chance.

What improved morale was that even Argentina admitted that Zhen Shaolong was the best player, and media reports also believed that Zhen Shaolong was better than Messi.

In other words, the Chinese team has the best stars.

This makes the Olympic team gratified.

But there are still different voices from the outside world. The voice comes from Maradona, the Argentine football king. Maradona, who has a big belly, also came to the Chinese team. He is cheering for the Argentine Olympic team. Son-in-law Aguero come on.

In an interview with the media, Maradona said that the best star is Messi, and his son-in-law Aguero is also better than Zhen Shaolong. Performance at other times."

"Zhen Shaolong scored a lot of goals, the number is surprising, but at other times he hardly showed."

"Argentina is about to play against the Chinese team. I am optimistic about Argentina and Messi. I believe that Argentina can beat China and advance to the final."

"Only when Argentina and Brazil meet will it be the most perfect final!"

Simultaneously.

The Chinese team is stepping up preparations.

The interval between the quarter-finals and the semi-finals is only three days, and the real time left for preparation is only a short two days. The Chinese team has almost no time to relax and celebrate entering the semi-finals. After successfully entering the Olympic semi-finals, they Just seize all the time to prepare for the battle.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare for.

The coaching staff did not explain Argentina, analyze the strength and technical style of the Argentine players, but let the team continue to rehearse the defensive formation and tell them to be prepared for high-intensity offense.

That's all.

The coaching staff has no good solution, because Argentina's strength is much stronger than the Olympic team, and the two sides are teams of two dimensions, and they do not exist in the same world at all.

Analyze the opponent's strength?

pointless!

The players in every position in Argentina can be said to be famous stars. Even Di Maria is in the substitute lineup.

If every player in Argentina is analyzed, it seems that the Olympic team does not need to play, and the entire team will lose their fighting spirit.

The coaching staff's requirement for the game is 'defense'. In addition, more emphasis is placed on the hope that players can learn from the experience of playing against the world's top teams in the game.

It cannot be said that the Chinese Olympic team has lost confidence, but they do not care about the results. To reach the Olympic semi-finals and lose to a team like Argentina, they have done a very good job, and it can even be said to be perfect.

The Chinese team players have a different idea, they will also look forward to victory in the discussion--

"The opponent is Argentina!"

"The opponent has Messi and Riquelme. I can't imagine that one day I will play against such a team!"

"I'm getting nervous now!"

"Nervous fart! Isn't he a star? Brother Zhen is the biggest star! Maybe we can win!"

"Yes, with Brother Zhen, it will definitely work!"

The Olympic team players are really excited, and some players are also very nervous.

The same goes for Zhen Shaolong.

His nervousness was not because he met Argentina, but because he was going to participate in the semi-finals. He hoped that the team could beat Argentina and successfully advance to the Olympic final.

It's hard.

Zhen Shaolong was nervous because it was very difficult.

The day before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup. Argentina's starting lineup is full of stars. Romero will replace Ustari, who was seriously injured in the game against the Netherlands, as the main goalkeeper. The other starting players are defender Sabaletta, Garay, Pareja and Monzon, midfielders Mascherano, Gago, Di Maria and Riquelme, forwards Messi and Aguero.

With such a gorgeous starting lineup, even if there were speculations before, it still feels very shocking.

Zhen Shaolong was also shocked.

Not because of Argentina's lineup, but because of receiving system tasks.

Another system task!

Zhen Shaolong felt a little ashamed. Whenever he encountered a difficult game, the system task seemed to jump out easily. Using external strength to defeat the opponent made him feel ashamed.

but……

Still very comfortable!

He immediately turned the nervousness in his heart into anticipation, "Ascension: There is a new system task trigger.

The star-studded Argentine team obscured the starlight of the host. The host needs to prove to everyone who is the best star in the game against Argentina.

Mission objective: lead the team to defeat Argentina.

(During the execution of the task, the host acquires the special skill "Deadly Defense".

"Deadly Defense": When you are defending, if the opposing player intends to break through you, you can use the skill to trigger the "Deadly Defense" effect, which allows you to accurately complete the steal.

After successfully completing the steal, you will get a special effect that lasts for five minutes--

1. The "Calibration" skill doubles its effect.

2. Shot power increased by 50%.

"Deadly Defense" can only be used ten times. )

Task Reward: Improve the appearance evaluation by a little. "
