Chapter 30 Race with Messi(1/2)
No matter what Feng Mingjian thought, things may not necessarily develop in the direction he hoped.
Because the leaders of the Football Association considered the future of this team, they did not consider the feelings of Chinese fans, but instead took the starting point of how to be the best for themselves.
※※※
When the game started again, the Argentinian seemed a little disappointed.
This is normal. Any team who has just scored a goal and is broken in this way will perform similarly to theirs.
It's really a blow to morale.
They have the feeling of "no matter how we do it, this person can score goals."
In that case, what else should we do?
It would be fine if we were ahead of the score.
But now we are already behind. We scored a goal, he scored another goal, we scored another goal, he scored another goal... What's the point? We are still behind the score
Even if the Argentinians seem to have no fighting spirit, the Chinese team still strictly abides by their previous tactical arrangements. Apart from glory, no one was pressing forward to attack.
Even though the Argentine team's back foot looked purposeless, they were not moved and just shrank into their thirty-meter area.
It's like you can't see the expression on the faces of the Argentine players.
This really makes Argentine players feel desperate.
Francisco stood on the sidelines, frowned.
If this continues, the situation will only become increasingly unfavorable to Argentina. Although there are more than 30 minutes left before the end of the game, it can be considered that there is plenty of time.
※※※
Messi may be the most normal person in the team.
But even if he performs normally alone, he will have no choice but to face the Chinese team's iron wall.
His previous breakthrough was based on the support of the Argentine team.
Without the cooperation of the team, he would rely on himself, which would mean he would be back in the first half...
It was not until fifteen minutes later that the mentality of the Argentine players finally returned to normal.
Messi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now he has support from the team and he believes he can still score goals
His performance became active and he completed a shot on the edge of the penalty area, and the football was saved from the bottom line by Yang Chen.
Argentina received a corner kick.
Messi is short and can't get the corner kick in front of the goal, and he can't get the ball when he goes in front of the goal. So he went outside the penalty area, waiting to grab the second landing point, or waiting for a second attack.
Rongguang also recovered a little, but he did not run back to the goal, but instead cruised in the middle circle to the top of the free throw arc.
Argentina's corner kick was taken and everyone rushed towards the goal.
Feng Tingxiao jumped high, grabbed Gare's front, and played the football hard.
The football flew straight outside the penalty area.
Messi was surprised to find that Feng Tingxiao's ball was actually heading towards him
It seems that he has the opportunity to launch a second attack directly without waiting for his teammates to pass the football to himself.
He was ready to catch the ball.
But at this time, Messi did not realize that the glory that was originally behind him had already run back from the front.
And running towards him
Someone saw that Aguero, who also did not enter the penalty area, noticed Rong Guang's running position, and shouted and reminded Messi.
"Be careful behind you, Leo..."
But at the same time, the football flew over. Messi stared at the football with all his attention, and did not hear Aguero's shouting at all, and naturally did not notice the abnormality that happened behind him.
In fact, he was completely immersed in his own world. At that moment, there was no sound in his ears, and he seemed to be isolated from the world.
He straightened his chest and was about to stop the ball with his chest.
At the same time, Rongguang finally killed him with his speed, and then he stretched out his right leg behind Messi...
His right leg crossed Messi's body, and then he grabbed the ball backwards before Messi's chest stopped.
Messi only realized that the football that was originally in front of him was gone
Instead, one foot
Huh?
He was stunned for a moment.
At this time, the sounds around me came back instantly.
He heard Aguero's shout: "Rong--"
Messi was shocked
Glory?
Glory converged, he turned around.
It's indeed glory
He had just completed the foot-holding action.
And he hooked the football behind him
Messi will never allow himself to be cut off by Rong Guang like this, and he knows very well what will happen after Rong Guang breaks the ball. If Rong Guang makes a counterattack at this time, it will be dangerous.
Thinking of this, Messi quickly turned around
Like him, Rongguang turned around after he closed his feet.
The two of them completed the turn almost at the same time.
Rongguang is one position ahead of Messi, and then the two of them kicked their legs and started to chase the football
※※※
"Rong--" When Rong Guang stretched out his feet from behind and stolen the ball in front of Messi, the commentator exclaimed.
No one expected that Glory would break the ball Messi was bound to win
And... he will launch a counterattack next
"Messi turned around and he chased after him." Argentine's commentator cheered on Messi
"He hooked the ball with glory and turned around quickly, and he started chasing the ball." Huang Jianqiang and Chinese fans naturally had only glory in their eyes.
In this way, the two of them chased the football at the same time amid everyone's screams and started the race.
In front of the football landing point, there is an Argentine midfielder Gago.
He came up and wanted to cut the ball with Messi.
Even if you can't break the ball, you have to stop Glory, even if it's a foul... Gago doesn't care that he might be sent off by a red card when he does this, but the consequences of Glory breaking through are more serious than taking a red card himself.
Looking at the football and glory getting closer, his expression was very solemn, and even a kind of... a look of death that was about to rush to the execution ground...
He is ready to sacrifice himself and save the entire team.
The football that was hooked by Rong Guang fell from the air, and Rong Guang rushed up.
The distance between the two is less than five meters
Then Rong Guang stretched out his right foot...not stopping the ball, but waving forward with force.
Gago never expected that Glory did not stop the ball, but dribble directly.
At this time, he remembered that behind him, there was only another midfielder Paletta, except goalkeeper Ustari.
He didn't know how far he was from Paletta, but he was completely fearless when he saw this ball dribbling of Rong Guang, so Paletta was not too close to him...
With just a mistake, the football flew past him, and Rongguang rushed over.
And Gago, who was ready to die, was not even able to make a foul...
Just let the glory break through
As the glory just passed, Messi also followed Gago, running in silence, just chasing Glory's back firmly.
※※※
Behind Gago there is indeed an Argentine player Paletta.
But he and Gago are not far away.
Anyway, it was not as far as Gago had imagined.
But Rongguang still dribbles like this because he has absolute confidence in his speed
He didn't care whether there was a "little flea" behind him who could not be shaken off.
To be continued...
