"Oh oh oh oh, what did we see, the bet is real, Messi really shined Gago's shoes."
"I can't believe it. After Messi returns to Barcelona, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
……
Not only did Messi not expect Gago to make this move, but all the players on the field were also stunned.They also saw Crespo go up to smooth things over, and Gago followed him, apparently intending to make a joke.But what they didn't expect was that Xiao Tiaoshow's character was so strong.
"This kid is too stubborn to be a good captain."
Ayala, who saw this scene in the backcourt, was a little dissatisfied and said to Zanetti, these old guys managed to persuade Crespo to be a peacemaker, but they were not appreciated.At this time, he looked at Gago very pleasingly, and Zanetti helped him express the meaning of his words.
"It seems that Gago is suitable to be the leader of the Pampas after we withdraw."
After listening to Zanetti's words, although the old guys on the back line didn't speak, they still agreed in their hearts.
Gago returned to midfield and Riquelme clapped and hugged in celebration.
"How did you pass the ball to him?"
When Riquelme hugged, he was obviously a little confused. He passed the ball to Gago very well. After cutting inside, he hit the goal with his right foot and had a great chance of scoring.But Gago gave the ball to Messi, which made Riquelme feel very strange.
"I will exercise my left foot in this competition, so I will basically not hit the goal with my right foot."
Gago only explained the superficial reasons, and it was impossible for him to tell Riquelme that the probability of Messi scoring goals in the national team was extremely deceitful.It's easy and enjoyable to use his name to attract the opponent's defense and then pick up the leak.
"That's it, then I will pass you more left-footed balls later."
Riquelme is indeed a good senior. After hearing this, he patted Gago on the shoulder and helped him exercise very loyally.
"Thanks!"
Gago accepted it with a smile. In their eyes, the mere American team only had the effect of training.
However, you can never predict things like games, just when the Argentine stars are ambitious and want to expand the score.Especially when Messi, who wanted to prove that he was no worse than Gago, frequently used his quick changes of direction to mess up the US team's defense, the US team used a counterattack to equalize the score.
This time, the Argentine stars were too careless. After getting the ball in the middle, Riquelme displayed his world-class ability to get rid of it on the spot.He rubbed his heels, then walked around the defender with his body close to the defender, and then pulled and dunked again to get rid of a defender who was grabbing up.
A series of beautiful moves won a lot of applause from the fans, and then Riquelme was embarrassingly intercepted.Roman, who was a bit complacent after passing the two, accidentally tripped over the ball, and Olsen, who took the risk to snatch it, got it first.Then it's a long pass straight out of the backfield before Gago comes up for a tackle.
This long pass has reached a world-class level, directly passing the strongest midfielder in Argentina, and then falling behind the two Chinese defenders.Johansen successfully caught the ball into the penalty area against offside, but was put directly from behind by the impatient Millito.The referee whistled and pointed his index finger to the penalty spot.
"Penalty kick. Five minutes after Gago scored, the US team took advantage of a counterattack to win a penalty kick. This is their chance. Can they withstand the pressure to equalize?"
"If this goal is scored, the US team still has hope."
Johnson stood in front of the goal, took a deep breath, and then ran up and made a concealed movement with his right foot but fooled Abundan Shirley, pushing the bottom right corner to score.
1: 1.
The U.S. team equalized the score with a penalty kick. At this time, Bradley on the sidelines waved all the players back and played defensively with peace of mind.For him as the head coach, he has a very clear understanding of the form of the group.Although the bet between Gago and Messi made him angry, he was not so angry that he lost his mind as he appeared in front of the media.
He clearly understands that the only thing he can fight for in this group is No.2. Don't try to compete with Argentina for the first place. It will be a miserable death. The strength of the United States in football is far inferior to his status in the world strong.Now that they have decided to fight for the second qualifying spot, then in front of the boss Argentina in this group, getting one point is the best result.
Originally, Gago's understated goal in the opening 2 minutes made him think that there was no hope for even a point, but Johnson's goal made him hope again.
"As long as you can keep the next time, a point is still possible!"
At this time, Bradley was very nervous standing within the white line on the side of the court, very nervously directing the team's defense, not to let the Argentine stars take a shot easily.As for Gago and Messi's anger, he didn't know where it was for a long time. At this time, he also accepted his fate. These two supernovas did have that capital.
"Hmph, do you think you can stop the great Pampas by sticking to it?"
On the coaching bench of Argentina, Basile, Maradona, Redondo, and Caniggia saw Bradley's exaggerated command from the sidelines, and at the same time there were disdainful smiles on their faces.Their mentality at this time is the same as that of the big devil in the game. In this game, they are the biggest bosses, with the strongest lineup and strength.For a small character like Bradley, it is difficult to even make the devil take it seriously.
Sure enough, even under the firepower of Argentina, the demon king, the ten-man defending US team only lasted for 4 minutes before being broken again by Argentina's housekeeper stunt.
In this world, when every opponent faces the Argentine national team, all the head coaches will arrange how to defend the Blue and Whites' set-piece coordination several days in advance.
The tradition handed down by the Argentine national team since ancient times is all kinds of dazzling and unexpected free kick cooperation, from Maradona and Caniggia, a pair of partners full of love, to the 98 World Cup The classic free kick that Zanetti scored.Some reporters have counted that among the goals scored by the Argentine national team, two achievements were scored by free kick tactics into the opponent's goal.
Therefore, every time they play against Argentina, all opponents must guard against the Blue and White's various free kicks.From ancient times to the present, Pampas has no shortage of free kick players, not to mention Maradona, the king of the ball.Riquelme, the current core of the national team, is also a figure who can be called a master of free kicks.
A breakthrough by Gago on the left forced Wen to push him from behind, and the referee awarded Argentina a well-placed free-kick.In this position, Riquelme has many records of direct goals, so the American team members who lined up the wall are very entangled.Is it to jump up or prepare to defend the opponent's free kick?
Everyone has their own answer to this answer, but at the moment they saw Riquelme run up, their instinct made them jump.But at this moment, Riquelme slowed down the strength of his left foot, rubbed the ball over the wall and picked it into the penalty area.
Ayala, the captain of the Blue and Whites, jumped out and came to the front of the ball to shoot. At this time, the American goalkeeper Keller made a contribution.At the critical moment, he stretched out his leg to block this shot, but the crisis has not been resolved, and Gago once again predicted where the ball will fall.The left foot stopped the ball and made a direct shot from a small angle.
The U.S. defenders, who had come to their senses, came over to block Gago's shot, but Gago, who felt unsure about his left-footed shot, pushed the ball and sent it to the goal.At that place, the figure of Crespo appeared in time, facing the empty goal and easily pushing the goal.
2: 1.
"The great Pampas, the unstoppable Pampas, no one can stop Pampas' goal."
"Gago's unselfish pass, Crespo's one move in front of the ball, Argentina overtook the score again, and the US team's defense lasted only 4 minutes."
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
On the coach's bench, Maradona lost face again. He directly stole the limelight from the players on the field, and he gliding completely made the camera on the scene point at him.On the other hand, Redondo and Caniggia are very calm. The calm and calm appearance of them sitting on the coach's bench makes people have to sigh that they are indeed the final boss.
However, Maradona's celebration completely detonated the atmosphere of the audience. As the national idol of Argentina, his actions directly made the fans in the stands shout together.Countless blue and white stripes are constantly flying on the court, and the Pampas fans are roaring. They are letting the US team know that if they want to challenge the devil, they must practice for decades.
After Crespo scored the goal, he came over happily and hugged Gago. As a center forward, he was much taller than Gago.All of a sudden, Gago buried his head in his chest, and the rest of the players came over to celebrate together.Although Gago also scored a goal just now, everyone was attracted by the bet between him and Messi, and they didn't celebrate much. This time, they have to make up for it.
On the other side, Messi also rushed over to join the celebration. After all, his team took the lead, and he is also a player with great collective honor.Celebrating the goal for Crespo is what he should do, but when this scene fell into the eyes of the Barcelona fans at the scene, he was full of displeasure.
The scene of Messi shining Gago's shoes just now made them almost go berserk. Fortunately, they comforted themselves that this was a national team game.It's not impossible for Messi to do this. After finally suppressing the evil fire in his heart, they saw Messi go to celebrate "Gago's assist" again, and their faces were directly ugly.Especially the cheering of a large group of Real Madrid fans wearing white jerseys not far away made them grit their teeth with hatred.
Poor Messi, he simply celebrated Crespo's goal in the past, but was directly regarded by Barcelona fans as celebrating "Gago's assist".
This incident shows that fans are really irrational sometimes.
Ps: Thanks to "Victory-Zilong", "cn2541" and "You are very poisonous" for the rewards. I just saw that "Victory-Zilong" became the first deacon in this book, so thank you very much.
