Chapter 1170 Focus Battle
Although both Wu Xi and Zhang Linpeng will be absent in the semi-finals, the Chinese media are not too worried about this, because their best hope, captain Ai Luo, can play in the game!
In their minds, as long as Ai Luo is on the court, the other ten players, even if they are amateurs, are likely to beat their opponents.
The existence of Ai Luo means that the team has a reason to win.
That afternoon, on the eve of the quarter-final match between Argentina and Portugal, the Brazilian media received a piece of news that made them desperate-after a hospital inspection, it was found that Neymar had a ruptured third vertebrae injury.
Although fortunately he did not hurt his nerves, it has been determined that it is impossible for him to return to the World Cup.
In other words, Neymar will definitely miss the semi-finals between Brazil and China.
Immediately, the news caused an uproar.
In the perception of many people, even if the head coach Scolari, who led the Brazil team to the 2002 World Cup, regained the coach, the hope of leading the Brazil team to go further is undoubtedly Neymar.
But how hopeless it is that such a player who brings hope will be absent due to injury.
Reminiscent of captain Thiago Silva's accumulative yellow card suspension, the Brazilian team's front and rear pillars were absent respectively. The game has not yet started, and it has already lost more than half.
In this regard, the biggest headache is undoubtedly the head coach Scolari, because in his skills and tactics, Neymar's existence is very significant. In the quarter-finals, he can easily get a two-goal lead. In addition to Thiago Silva and David Luiz's outstanding performance, the biggest contributor is Neymar.
Thiago Silva's goal came from Neymar's breakthrough, forcing the Colombian Guarin to kick the ball over the baseline, as did David Luiz's direct free kick, Neymar's breakthrough led to Gutierrez's foul.
Neymar will miss the next Brazil semi-final, but did not attract all the attention of the media, they will soon focus on Argentina and Portugal in this focus battle.
As we all know, Ai Luo is recognized as the first brother in today's football, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have not distinguished who is strong and who is weak in the past few years.
In this World Cup, Argentina and Portugal made it to the quarter-finals, thanks to their respective captains.
It is such a team led by two top stars to engage in a focus battle, and it will not surprise people if they attract enough attention.
After all, this game is about their respective teams advancing to the semi-finals. From another perspective, whoever leads the national team to the semi-finals will be the captain of the national team who sits on the second throne in world football.
Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi?
The suspense can only be revealed after the game is over.
And Ai Luo is also paying attention to this game, he also wants to see who... is stronger!
※※※
The third quarter-final match between Argentina and Portugal in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was held at the National Stadium in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil.
The blue and white jerseys are like eagles on the pampas grassland, standing out from the crowd, and the area where Portuguese fans are located only occupies 1/4 of it.
In this game, the most concerned ones are undoubtedly the Argentine captain Messi and the Portuguese captain Cristiano Ronaldo. On both sides of the stands of the National Stadium, it can be clearly seen from the broadcast lens that the huge photos of the two are stretched from top to bottom. Under the shaking of the fans, they become lifelike.
Ai Luo, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the game, could feel the fanatical atmosphere from the scene, which shows the degree of attention to this game and the degree of dedication of the fans.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi didn't have much communication before the game. Their only communication was the handshake before the game and guessing at the referee, but there were no more capture shots.
In this game, the two sides sent the strongest lineup.
From the very first seconds of the game, players from both sides of the National Stadium gave the fans in the stands a passionate and exciting game, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi showing their best.
However, as the game time passed, the disadvantage of Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates not being strong enough was gradually highlighted.
Messi is surrounded by world-class stars such as Higuain, Di Maria, Mascherano, and Aguero, while Cristiano Ronaldo is surrounded by quasi-world-class stars Nani and Moutinho at best.
Therefore, the situation between the two sides has become more and more clear, and Argentina as a whole is stronger, so it is normal to slowly gain the advantage on the court.
No.18 minutes, Mascherano steals the ball from Moutinho's feet in the midfield. Messi gets rid of the oblique plug in the middle and feeds Di Maria, who inserts the right rib at high speed. The latter gets the ball and passes it into the penalty area.
Argentina leads 1:0! !
This goal made Argentina's powerful overall highlights. In response to the well -known commentator of Sky TV and Television, Andy Gray regretted: "I have to say that the Portuguese strength of Kristiano Ronaldo is different. This goal in Argentina is a perfect manifestation of the team. Messi, who should have entered more lenses, just break through the ball slightly. Causes passing, and Christiano Ronaldo needs to have multiple positions. He needs to take the ball and connect. Many times he needs to take the ball to break through ... he is just a person! "
Aiello, who was sitting in front of the TV, shook his head. He knew that if nothing else happened, the winner of this game would belong to Argentina. Putting aside the past "historical" record, the strength of Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates is really different from his.
In other words, Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates can't keep up with his rhythm, so they can't find the feeling of playing together.
Otherwise, the World Cup qualifiers between Portugal and Sweden would not require him to score five goals alone to lead the team through a thrilling pass and enter the World Cup.
In the ensuing games, Cristiano Ronaldo strengthened the number of times he took the ball, and wanted to use his super personal ability to help the team equalize the score, but many players on the field knew him too well, and his efforts were more like grudges. He was not the same Cristiano Ronaldo who called the wind and rain in La Liga and the Champions League.
