Chapter 656 Great Moment
Finally, the first half of the game ended.
One to zero.
Argentina's temporary lead with one goal has entered the midfield break.
They seem to be closer to the Hercules Cup outside the player passage.
When Messi walked past the trophy, he looked at it again.
And Xu Qi still walked straight over as if the trophy did not exist.
In the locker room, Xu Qi looked around and felt that the team members were all slumped there, as if they were suffering a little.
The finals really put too much pressure on this group of players.
Including Xu Qi, he also felt a lot of pressure.
Moreover, what they have to face is a player like Messi who may not even be able to defend the world's top defenders, so the pressure on defensive players is quite large.
"This is not possible? Messi is already 31 years old. He is no longer as sensitive and fast as before. As long as he stands and arranges the defense line reasonably according to tactics, Messi will definitely not be able to score the second goal in this game!" At this time, Xu Qi stood up directly to encourage the morale of the players. He must make these players confident.
Especially Cai Huikang, who is mainly responsible for marking Messi in this game.
He was easily passed by Messi at that time, and also blocked Xu Qi's route to chase Messi, which made Xu Qi fail to catch up with Messi in time, which led to the loss of the ball.
"Old Cai, when he dribbles, don't always rush to grab the ball. Many times, you feel that you can grab his ball, but that is his best chance to pass you. You can use more small movements when necessary. As long as you do this, Messi's threat will definitely be much smaller." Xu Qi pointed out the tricks of defending Messi at Cai Huikang again.
Xu Qi has heard many people from the coaching staff research these things in Manchester City clubs.
Lippi also said a lot in the locker room. In fact, what the team needs now is stronger confidence and desire to win!
The World Cup champion trophy is there, and no one doesn't want to hold it in their hands.
Everyone has the desire to win.
The key is, like him, converting these into motivation in the game.
Fifteen minutes are fast.
The second half of the game is about to begin, and the two sides will change sides and fight again.
This time, the Chinese team kicked off first.
Xu Qi must do something to boost the morale of the players.
After the ball was kicked off in the middle circle, he began to drive the ball forward alone.
Soon, Higuain saw Xu Qi stop the ball alone, neither moving forward nor retreating, so he rushed over immediately to grab the ball under Xu Qi's feet.
However, as soon as Higuain rushed over, Xu Qi easily pushed the ball and passed him through the crotch.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qi saw Messi coming from the side from the corner of his eyes.
He knew that Messi wanted to come here to physically contact him, and then, when both sides put their strength in their body, Messi would use his foot to grab the ball.
However, when Messi rushed over, Xu Qi's reaction became more rapid. He decisively avoided Messi's press and turned around and rushed out, leaving Messi who accidentally slipped after losing the air!
This time, Xu Qi won the direct conversation!
This is Xu Qi's victory back.
Of course, if you want to win a game back, you still need to complete the goal.
This attack finally formed a shot, but it was still a bit far from the goal.
However, it was still early, and Xu Qi's breakthrough to play with Higuain and Messi has already gained confidence in the team!
Sure enough, Messi is nothing, his strength is still inferior to Xu Qi!
Nowadays, many Chinese players who have watched this scene think so.
Originally, some media exaggerated this game as a "rat-elephant battle". They believed that the Chinese team did not have Xu Qi, but was actually a team that was always a mouse-level team.
But because of Xu Qi, this little mouse had sharp teeth that could break rocks and defeated one opponent after another.
Although the literal meaning is not wrong, it invisibly casts a shadow on the confidence of other Chinese players.
They described Messi and other stars as too powerful, and they believed that Chinese players could not defend against world-class assaulters at all.
But now, the Chinese team has actually done a lot. They only allowed Argentina to break through the goal once in the whole half.
Thinking of this, the confidence of many Chinese players has also increased a lot.
"Come on! Fuck them!" Xu Qi shouted.
In the second half, from 48 minutes, the Chinese team began to make efforts, and there was a speedup in both midfield and organization!
Soon, the Argentine team seemed to have entered a state of discomfort, and the Chinese team actually gained some small advantages during this period.
This advantage also gave Xu Qi more opportunities to touch the ball.
For Xu Qi, more opportunities to touch the ball mean goals!
In the 57th minute, there was no problem with the Argentina's defense line itself, but in this case, after Argentina threw out the outbound ball, Di Maria dribbled the ball and prepared to turn around.
However, he was posted by Xu Qi!
"Xu Qi's range of movement is too large. He actually came here to compete with Di Maria! He cut off the ball!"
He Wei said excitedly.
How could he not be excited? Xu Qi stole the ball under Di Maria's feet with just one encounter.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qi threw away Di Maria and began his advancement.
Mascherano rushed over immediately, but when he met, he was shaken away by Xu Qi's dexterity.
This time, the extraordinary style is a bit like Messi's extraordinary style, simple and straightforward.
Then, when Biglia came over, Xu Qi was just a person who was passing through the crotch, even more straightforward than changing direction. After running a straight line, he passed without changing direction!
Xu Qi is on the right, heading towards the middle and breaking forward at the same time.
This route is also very much like the route where Maradona had five people in a row back then.
It's also like the route where Messi crossed five players in the King's Cup more than a decade ago.
But then, people seemed to be extending along the line, but found that the line had undergone a sudden change.
Otamendi was the first to rush out to intercept Xu Qi, but Xu Qi turned his right foot horizontally to the left and shook it away directly.
However, Xu Qi also played the horizontal escape from right to left like Messi.
This is the defense line of Argentina alone.
The fans at the scene were all excited, as if they were expecting something to appear.
At this time, Xu Qi had already broken through to four players: Di Maria, Mascherano, Biglia and Otamendi.
After he ran to the left, there was a Mercado rushing over.
At this time, Xu Qi raised his left foot and wanted to have a long shot outside the penalty area!
Mercado rushed over immediately and flew over and blocked him. Obviously, he was deceived by Xu Qi again.
Xu Qi bypassed Mercado and entered the penalty area.
Five people have passed in a row!
Romero ran out, Xu Qi took the opportunity to change direction and dunked Romero, then pushed the ball into the empty goal with his right foot...
The scene was shocked...
After the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, after Maradona completed a century-long goal of five players, another classic and great moment on the World Cup was born.
Xu Qi passed six people in a row!
Steal, break through, shoot, score your own goal...
Perfect one-stop...
The difficulty and excitement of this goal even surpass Maradona's goal.
This time, Xu Qi's goal scored six times, and each time was different. It was completely different from Maradona's pure change of direction!
"This is the most exciting goal in the history of the World Cup! This goal is destined to be recorded in history! This is a great moment!" He Wei said loudly!
Looking at Xu Qi who was celebrating with his teammates, He Wei's voice even choked up...
Chapter completed!
