Chapter 853 The Harvest Season Will Be Four Years Later
When Carlos Tevez's long-range shot from the front of the penalty area broke the goal of the Chinese team, the Argentine fans in the stands burst into cheers instantly. They have almost confirmed that the national team will enter the semi-finals of this World Cup!
Many older Argentine fans shed tears of excitement. They almost forgot how long has it been since Argentina, a strong contender for the World Cup championship, has not entered the semi-finals of the World Cup, ten years? 20 years?That's right, exactly 20 years!The last time they entered the semi-finals dates back to the 1990 World Cup in Italy, when they lost to the Federal Republic of Germany in the final.
The Chinese fans who temporarily lived in half of the stands were stunned...
The Chinese players on the pitch were pretty much the same. They had already planned a point-chasing plan during the halftime break—kept a clean sheet in the first 10 minutes of the second half, and then took advantage of Argentina’s impatience in the last 25 minutes to give them a fatal blow to equalize the score. But this plan was shattered by Argentina’s early goal.
The on-site director did not focus on the lost Chinese players. According to international practice, he aimed the camera at Tevez, the hero who scored the goal.
From the camera, the Argentine players in the frontcourt ran towards Tevez one after another, patting their heads or shoulders affectionately.
Maradona's plan in the second half was to expand the score as soon as possible, otherwise, impatience would likely lead to the Chinese team taking the opportunity to equalize the score, and Carlos Tevez's goal is undoubtedly tantamount to driving the Chinese team to a dead end.
Now Argentina is not afraid of the indiscriminate bombing of the Chinese team at all. What they are afraid of is that the Chinese team will not come out in front of the goal, waiting for a good opportunity to counterattack.
Among them, Messi is in the most cheerful mood. He scored two goals in this game, while Aiello only scored one goal, and his team took a two-goal lead, which means that the final victory of the game will probably belong to Argentina.
So what if you lose the honor of the club?As long as you win back the honor of the national team!
Argentina celebrated the end of the goal. The on-site director first showed the camera on the face of Messi, whose face was full of joy, and then on the face of Aiello. The two had obvious differences in expression. Much more..."
BBC commentator Lineker shook his head and sighed: "This Chinese team is still too young, with an average age of just over 24 years old. Many players in the team are very talented, but lack rich game experience. It is not easy for them to reach the quarter-finals with Ai in this World Cup. I believe that the real Chinese lions will shock the world until the next World Cup!"
Even He Wei had to tell the truth: "Hey, as the game time passed, the strength gap between us and Argentina gradually became apparent..."
Before the words were finished, the Chinese fans in the stands of the Green Point Stadium imitated the situation of facing Serbia in the third round of the group match. The "Dragon Team Fan Association" President Jian Mangen and Vice President Liu Lei led all the fans to wave the national flags in their hands and sing the classic "Ode to the Motherland": "The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the song of victory is so loud..."
The singing of the Chinese fans immediately attracted the attention of the players on the scene, and they all turned their heads to look over.
The next moment, the Chinese players on the field seemed to feel full of strength again. Didn't the team just score two goals in a row when they were facing elimination?So why not face Argentina?
Gao Hongbo, who was standing on the sidelines, also felt the vigorous expectations of the fans in the stands. He turned his head to look at the bench, and called Yang Xu, Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe and others to the warm-up area to warm up, and came back in 5 minutes...

Ai Luo glanced back at his teammates who had regained confidence. He knew that the game was not over yet!
Messi returned to the half court and waited for the Chinese team to kick off. He habitually looked up at Ai Luo who kicked off in the middle circle. His expression was obviously more determined.
Messi frowned, logically speaking, his fighting spirit should be weak at this time...
Not scientific!
When the game restarted, Messi finally realized that something unscientific had happened.
In fact, Ai Luo is not the only one who shows high morale. The same is true for other Chinese players. They actively move when attacking, but defend with all their strength. As a result, Argentine players who are good at controlling the ball at their feet cannot comfortably control and pass the ball.
So... There was a scene on the court that hadn't happened since the start of the whole match.
In the words of ESPN football commentator Jaylen Rose: "My God, the Chinese team has temporarily suppressed Argentina, they have the initiative on the field!!"
Maradona, who was sitting comfortably on the coach's bench, walked to the sidelines and loudly reminded the players on the field to pay attention to defense, especially the defense against Aiello.
Even so, the Chinese team's offensive continued unabated, and Mascherano, who had always controlled Aiello very well, received a yellow card under the continuous impact of the Chinese team.
"Oh-My-God! The momentum of the Chinese team is on the rise. If we can continue to put pressure on the Argentine defense, then it is very possible to score a goal!"
With a shout from Lineker, Ai Luo attracted enough attention and passed the ball behind Heinze. Zhang Linpeng jumped in at high speed, and when everyone thought he was going to pass an inverted triangle pass, he unexpectedly shot directly!
Goalkeeper Romero stretched his left leg out of reflex when he moved early, but it was just highlighted that he made a magical save, he blocked the ball from the end line.
Awwow
There was a loud exclamation at the scene.
Zhang Linpeng held his head in both hands regretfully, it's a pity that the goal was not scored...
Huang Jianxiang from the on-site commentary seat covered his face with his hands, and exaggeratedly said: "Romero can stretch his legs and block Zhang Linpeng's shot from the bottom line under the pre-judgment situation...It's too unreal!"
"Yes, otherwise Zhang Linpeng would have scored his first goal in the World Cup." He Wei said.
Other commentators also expressed their regrets, otherwise they could have seen Maicon's zero-angle goal against North Korea in the first round of Brazil...
Romero, who got up, quickly crossed his chest to thank God for his help, otherwise the score of 3:2 would be extremely unsafe!

After the dangerous situation in front of the Argentine goal, Maradora realized that he should make a substitution, but his substitution was not aimed at the back line, but on the forward line. He believed that the fundamental reason why the situation was biased towards the Chinese team was that the frontcourt players played too frequently, resulting in a serious decline in physical fitness.
He replaced Di Maria with his son-in-law Aguero, and changed the Argentine formation into a more aggressive four-three-three.
At the same time, the Chinese team also made substitution adjustments, replacing veteran Zheng Zhi with Zhang Xizhe, who has stronger organizational skills.
Both sides of the game made adjustments to the offensive line, and the neutral commentators all praised it. They may not want to see the leading Argentina stick to the score...
Fortunately, Maradona's substitution was aimed at offense, and this time the substitution strengthened the offense. Fortunately, it is more obvious. Aguero, Higuain and Tevez are already three forwards. If Messi is added to the front line, it will be an extremely retro [-] formation, which is particularly scary when you think about it...
But Maradona will not do that. He needs Messi's organization to connect the frontcourt's offense in series. Otherwise, it will not have much effect to directly throw the four forwards in the Chinese team's half.
Zhang Xizhe's playing has brought great help to the Chinese team's offense. Although he is only 19 years old this year, his talent for organizing offenses has already been revealed. His imaginative passes made the Argentine defense hard to defend...
Of course, Argentina's offensive in this short period of time is still very fierce, but under the active running of the Chinese players, they returned without success.
The Chinese team's offense did not score a goal, and the score on the field was still that Argentina led the Chinese team 3:1.
Time passed quickly, and more than 70 minutes passed in the blink of an eye. The physical fitness of both sides had declined to a certain extent, but the Chinese team players insisted on running and kept on par with Argentina.
Maradona stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed for nearly 5 minutes. He has already seen that the reason why the Chinese team can now play against Argentina is inseparable. Most of the reasons are the continuous burst of cheers from the Chinese fans in the stands, coupled with their own hopes for the future, which prompted them to shorten the gap between the two sides during this period.
"In this case, then I will increase the number of possessions in the midfield!" Maradona turned around and asked his assistant to call Pastore over and prepare to play.
Two minutes later, Argentina and China made substitution adjustments at the same time. Pastore replaced Tevez and Yang Xu replaced Rong Hao.
However, this substitution did not change the situation on the field, and neither side broke the opponent's goal in a good-to-good way.
Because Aiello and Messi are the core players of both sides, they receive the highest treatment and are restricted to death.
As the game progressed, the large-scale active running of the Chinese team had sequelae. Except for Yang Xu and Zhang Xizhe who were replaced in the second half, they were able to maintain a wide range of running, and the enthusiasm of other players was obviously weakened.
At the 10th and [-]th minute of the game, Gao Hongbo returned to the coach's bench. He did everything he could, but the result...can only depend on the arrangement of heaven.
But the game continued until injury time, but the score did not change.
"Hey, at this moment, I have to painfully say that China's World Cup journey has come to an end." Entering the last minute of stoppage time, He Wei changed his voice: "But... this World Cup is just the alchemy stone for us to return to the World Cup. I believe that in Brazil four years later, we will become even stronger! At that time... it will be the season for us to reap the fruits!!"
Countless Chinese fans sat in front of the TV, silently shedding tears of regret, but they knew that He Wei's words were very correct, four years later... will be the season of harvest.
