Chapter 328 The cheating Argentina
After the Hua Guo team defeated Denmark, they overwhelmed France and became the first in Group C. The whole team was full of joy, and the fans in China were all happy.
But the intoxicating joy only lasted for one day. When the result of Argentina vs. Croatia in Group D came out on the second day, the Hua Guo team wanted to return to the second place in the group in an instant.
According to the schedule of the organizing committee, the top 16 who qualify will fight each other, and the top two in Group C and Group D will play against each other in the 1/8 finals.
Group D includes Argentina, Iceland, Croatia, and Nigeria. It is generally believed that Argentina led by Messi is the best choice for the group.
Hua Guo's original goal was to work hard to qualify for the group, but what should he do after qualifying?Then it depends on the sky, and there is no way to meet Argentina.
But after playing against strong European teams such as France and Denmark, I didn't feel that there was anything particularly powerful about a world-class team. Weeds began to grow in the hearts of Chinese players and hundreds of millions of fans.
Now it has finally become the first in the group. As long as they beat Peru in the last round, they can steadily face the second in Group D in the 1/8 finals. Anyway, it will not be Argentina.
可关键时刻阿根廷掉链子了，首轮和冰岛1-1战平就不说了，6月22日的第二轮，阿根廷竟然0-3输给了克罗地亚。
Argentina played against Nigeria in the third round of the group. The money-scattering boy who has given Argentina points for several consecutive years, as long as Croatia does not deliberately release water in the last round, Argentina will be properly ranked second in Group D, and it will still draw with The Hua Guo team, which topped Group C, met.
In the second round of Group D on June 6, Argentina lost 22-0 to Croatia. Enzo Perez missed an empty goal. Rebic caught Caballero's mistake to break the deadlock. Modric and Rakitic expanded the score.Croatia has a winning streak to qualify, and Argentina, which has only 3 point, is in a severe situation.
Nima, Argentina, which is born to be strong, is going to be completely cold in an instant. The surprise of the Hua Guo team is caught off guard. This is really a natural fate!
Regarding the magical country of Argentina, without mentioning other wonderful things, there is an old joke about the Argentines who are merciless.
After God created the earth, he found that Argentina had got all the wealth: vast grasslands, rich oil, majestic mountains, charming hills and lakes, fertile valleys and diverse climates.
So, for balance, God put Argentines in this place, and then Argentina became cold.
In this World Cup, the ugly behavior of the officials of the Argentine Football Association was revealed, and they did not even provide regular meals for the players.
In such a country that has been obsessed with nonsense since the 30s and is still unable to extricate itself, it is really not easy to get out of top players like Maradona, Riquelme and Messi.
Take a look at the Argentine team in this World Cup: Otamendi, Dybala, Mascherano, Messi, Di Maria, Aguero and other well-known first-class players, even just last weekend Icardi, who won the Serie A Golden Boot and scored 33 goals in 29 games, was finally dropped out of the list and missed the World Cup.
But it was such a team with a surplus of stars currently ranked fourth in the world that suffered a disastrous defeat to the newly-emerging Central European powerhouse, which also surprised the beaming Huaguo team.
Even more irritating is that Argentina lost to Croatia yesterday, and the group qualifying situation was once in jeopardy, but after Nigeria then defeated Iceland 2-0, Argentina's hope of qualifying increased a lot.
As long as they beat Nigeria by a big score in the last game, there is still a relatively high hope of qualifying as the second place in the group, and the initiative to appear will return to Argentina itself.
Naturally, Hua Guo didn't want to meet Argentina with Messi. For a while, the whole country was discussing how the Hua Guo team should "keep the tie and compete for second place", and even the normal training in the team was not peaceful.
Zhang Mai's opinion on this is different from that of many teammates and the vast majority of Huaguo fans. He thinks that it is better to meet Argentina in the future than to play against Croatia led by Modric.
After the 0-3 loss to Croatia, Messi and the Argentine team were scolded by the whole world, and Nigeria also made harsh words: Let the Argentines go back to their hometown in the end.
But so what?Argentina is like a moat in front of Nigeria. Not only did they win the World Cup, but they also defeated the African Eagle in the two finals of the 2008 Olympic Games and the 2005 World Youth Championship. Messi played a decisive role every time.
The 24-year grievances between Argentina and Nigeria began in the 1994 World Cup in the United States. Maradona's opponent in the final match of the World Cup was Nigeria.
Lao Ma assisted his old partner Caniggia with a sly quick free kick. After reversing Nigeria's two-match victory, the situation was very good. Unexpectedly, a huge blow came at this time. Maradona's urine test was positive and he was suspended by FIFA.
Argentina, without the old horse, suddenly lost its soul. Although it still advanced to the third place in the group, it was then cleanly defeated by Romania led by Haji. Maradona, who has been in power for half his life, bid farewell to the World Cup in this way.
Since then, Argentina and Nigeria have not met many times, but in recent years they have been so destined that they have been in the same group for three consecutive World Cups.
In the 2014 World Cup group stage, the two teams staged a confrontation. Messi fired all his firepower. He scored two shots in the opening 3 minutes and a free kick before half-time. However, Moussa used his personal ability to equalize twice. Huo's goal led to a dangerous victory, and the two teams finally qualified together.
Coincidentally, this time, relying on Moussa's brace, Nigeria beat Iceland 2-0, which indirectly laid the groundwork for another dialogue between him and Messi in the last game.
In 2010, Messi led the team as the core team for the first time. He ushered in Nigeria in the first round of the group stage. In this game, he met the brave goalkeeper Enyeyama. Messi made many god-level saves. With the rescue of the two veterans Heinze and Veron, I am afraid that Maradona's team will not be able to get off to a good start.
The collision in South Africa was very difficult, but Argentina finally qualified, but the reunion between South Korea and Japan witnessed the end of a generation of heroes of the Blue and White Legion.
The 33-year-old God of War Batistuta was still able to overwhelm Crespo as the main force at that time. In the first match against Nigeria, it was because of Batty's header that the fans still thought that Batty, Ortega, Simon The Nigerians have the ability to win the world championship in the last chance, but the reality is so cruel. After three group matches, what was witnessed was Batty's tears and Caniggia's red card.
What's more, in Zhang Mai's previous life memory, Argentina finally qualified after defeating Nigeria, and finally lost to France, the first place in Group C, after a penalty kick.
Although the voice of "keeping the balance and competing for the second" in Huaguo is getting higher and higher, the coach Lippi and the main players Zhang Mai and Zhang Yulin are unmoved and insist on playing Huaguo football in the last group match.
But other teammates and Chinese team members were deeply poisoned. In order to unify the team's thinking, Zhang Mai even came forward to accept interviews with domestic media in person:
"Thanks to the support of fans all over the country, we can defeat a strong opponent in Russia!"
"I also know that the fans are worried about the situation of our opponents after we qualify from the group stage. We once again promise that no matter what opponent we encounter, we will go all out."
"From the top 12 matches of the Asian World Championships, to the top [-] matches, and to today's group stage, we have won all the way by relying on our love for football itself. We will keep going, we will not More energy wasted on things other than football."
"This is the real secret of winning in world football. Relying on calculation and dodging is the competitive thinking of areas where football is lagging behind. Facts will prove that you count more, you can avoid many powerful opponents, and you can also win many unworthy of the name." Honor, but you will definitely lose more; when you come to your senses, you will find that there will be more and more opponents you have to hide from!"
As soon as Zhang Mai made a statement on behalf of the Hua Guo team, he quickly stopped the intensified trend of "keeping the balance and fighting for the second", and the team's training quickly returned to the normal track.
