At exactly 17:00 on July 9, the Athletic Stadium of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

In the World Cup semi-finals, China plays against Argentina.

Before the game, Real Madrid officially announced that the club's honorary chairman, Argentine legend Di Stefano, had just died in Madrid at the age of 88 due to a heart attack.

Players from both China and Argentina wore black armbands and observed silently for Distefano before the game.

After the two teams lined up, everyone had a sense of solemnity on their faces, especially Yang Yang.

He played for Real Madrid and dated Distefano a lot. In recent years, the celebrity's physical condition has been not very good. When Real Madrid celebrated the championship, he had already attended in a wheelchair. For his career, he also gave Yang Yang a lot of advice and helped Yang Yang a lot.

His sudden death made Yang Yang feel quite sad.

Football games are ruthless, while professional football is even more cruel, but there are emotions between people.

It’s like he and Messi are opponents, enemies, but also friends.

...

Argentina still lined up its own 433 formation, Messi still appeared in the front midfielder, Higuain was at the front, Ravic on the left, Enzo Perez on the right, Mascherano and Biglia on the double midfielder, Rojo, Gare, Demichelis and Zabaleta from left to right, and Romero.

The Chinese team's arrangement of troops in this game was a bit surprising, and Queros arranged a 532 formation.

The goalkeeper is Wang Dalei, the defense line is Ren Xing, Mei Fang, Feng Xiaoting, **peng and Zhang Chengdong, the three midfielders are Zhou Haibin, Zheng Zhi and Chen Tao, and the frontcourt is a combination of Yang Yang and Gao Lin.

Unlike the lineup in the past, Queiroz won a winger and replaced him with a defender.

This also made everyone realize that the Chinese team will continue to play defensive counterattack this game.

...

At the beginning of the game, Argentina took the lead in controlling the ball, but both sides were cautious.

Argentina did not want to eat China directly as soon as it came out, but instead patiently controlled the ball rights and conducted careful testing.

The first threatening attack in the game was in the fourth minute. After Messi got the ball in the middle of the midfield, he dribbled the ball and broke through himself. After breaking through the double-team of three Chinese defensive players in a row, he was intercepted and destroyed by Zheng Zhi outside the penalty area.

Then Argentina gradually gained the upper hand and firmly suppressed the Chinese team.

In the first ten minutes, the Chinese team could only devote themselves to defense, and it was difficult to grab the ball from Argentina. Even if it was grabbed, it was basically a hasty pass, making it difficult to pose a threat.

But every time, Yang Yang and Gao Lin would still actively go out.

When his skills are not as good as people, even if he wants to attack, he can only invest more troops on the offensive end, such as Queros arranged Gao Lin.

This center who plays in the Premier League is characterized by its tall and strong figure, and its ability to get and make balls in the frontcourt.

Queiros' arrangement for this game is obviously not just about fighting back, but about allowing him to create opportunities for Yang Yang.

The Chinese team's long pass after intercepting the ball was also intentionally or unintentionally looking for Gao Lin's point, but it has never been successful after the opening.

The two forwards lack support in the frontcourt, which is useless. They can only devote more energy to running and oppressing the Argentine defense line, and then wait patiently for the opportunity to appear.

In the 13th minute, Higuain made a comeback from the frontcourt, and Messi volleyed with a volley from the outside of the penalty area, which was slightly off, but it won applause from the whole field. Obviously, the fans are eager to see the stars' wonderful personal performance.

A minute later, Feng Xiaoting fouled Ravic from the outside of the penalty area and gave Argentina a chance to have a free kick in the frontcourt. Messi took the free kick and passed through the wall, but the angle was too straight and was directly saved by goalkeeper Wang Dalei, without creating a threat.

Messi was also very excited tonight and frequently created threats, which also made the scene seem quite unfavorable to China. It seems that it is only a matter of time before being scored.

Subsequently, Argentina won consecutive corner kick opportunities.

In terms of set piece defense, the Chinese team did a good job, and Argentina was not good at this, so it did not get more opportunities. The only threatening thing was Lavic's corner kick from the left. Gare grabbed the point and headed the ball to a far corner, but it was high.

Time passed by minute by minute, but the Chinese team has not shot a shot yet, and the scene is very embarrassing.

In this game, the São Paulo Arena attracted many overseas Chinese and Chinese fans who came to support the national team, with more than 10,000 people. From the beginning of the game, they kept cheering and cheering for the Chinese players on the court, but at the same time they were all very anxious.

Anyone knows that if this continues, the Chinese team's goal will not be able to hold on sooner or later.

After twenty minutes of time, Argentina attacked for a while, but failed to catch it in one breath, and temporarily slowed down the offensive.

But everyone understands that this slowdown is brewing the next wave of more violent offensives.

But in the 22nd minute, the Chinese team, who had finally got a chance to breathe, Tackled the ball passed to Lavic and quickly passed it to Chen Tao.

Chen Tao protected the ball and returned to Zhang Chengdong on the wing, who kicked forward with one kick.

Gao Lin quickly pulled to the right side, seized Rojo's forward assist and didn't have time to return to defense. He immediately seized the most favorable position, stopped the ball with his chest, and quickly dunked back to the middle, turning around to block Mascherano.

While Gao Lin pulled the side to receive the ball, Yang Yang appeared in the middle and was ready to respond at any time.

When Gao Lin stopped the ball and turned around, Yang Yang quickly started and sprinted forward as quickly as possible.

Mascherano was forced to pull to the sideline to make up Rojo's position, but his attention never left Yang Yang, especially when he saw Yang Yang start, his first reaction was to call his teammates to pay attention.

"Be careful that his back is inserted and block him!"

Demikalis and Gare both noticed Yang Yang, but Yang Yang's starting speed was very fast. When they reacted, Yang Yang had already rushed over.

What's even more terrible is that Gao Lin's pass was not directly passed to Yang Yang, but was passed behind the two of them, asking Yang Yang to chase him, which was quite unfavorable to the two Argentina's central defenders.

Yang Yang sprinted as fast as possible, rushed directly behind Gare, grabbed the ball outside the penalty area, and quickly walked into the penalty area with one kick. However, Demikalis's return to defense was also very fast, and he leaned over immediately and wanted to block Yang Yang.

The Argentine central defender tried to squeeze Yang Yang away with his body, but found that he failed. Yang Yang just paused and still maintained the momentum of rushing forward and rushed directly into Argentina's penalty area.

Demikalis followed closely, but in the penalty area, he did not dare to make any violations, for fear of accidentally being a penalty kick. However, after Yang Yang broke into the penalty area, he suddenly stopped and drew the ball. Demikalis and Gare were so scared that he thought he was going to kick directly, so he quickly blocked it.

But unexpectedly, Yang Yang quickly started and rushed to the bottom line after a quick stop. After throwing away Demikalis for half of his body, he suddenly shot.

Argentine goalkeeper Romero stood a little outside because he was standing near the small penalty area just now to command the team's defense. However, after Yang Yang quickly counterattacked, although he returned to the goal as soon as possible, he did not retreat very far.

Especially when he saw Yang Yang clashing from the right side of the penalty area, he moved his position to the right side of the goal, trying to block Yang Yang's shooting angle as much as possible, but when he faced Yang Yang's shot directly, he still couldn't make an accurate judgment.

When Yang Yang used the emergency stop to shift the speed and threw away Demikalis, quickly opened his position, and created an opportunity to kick the ball, he did not start the ball at the first time, because his extremely rich experience told him that Romero's position was to block his angle.

With the ability of the Argentine goalkeeper and his 1.92-meter-old figure, Romero can save it, whether he plays in the near corner or the far corner, especially when a large part of the angle on the left is blocked by Demichelis.

Therefore, Yang Yang had a very inconspicuous pause during the rapid movement, and then took a small step forward, then suddenly made a powerful shot, directly pulling the ball from the gap between Romero's side and the post on the right side of the goal towards the goal.

Romero was extremely focused and was paying attention to Yang Yang's every move. But when he saw Yang Yang's movements stagnate, he instinctively thought he was about to kick and prepared, but unexpectedly, this was indeed Yang Yang's fiddle.

When Yang Yang made this shot, Romero quickly reacted and tried to block it, but he was a little slower. The ball passed under him and crashed into the goal behind him.

After a shot, Yang Yang was also squeezed out of balance by Demikalis, who was catching up from behind, and fell to the ground. However, after seeing the ball enter the net, he quickly got up from the ground, waved his hands excitedly, and rushed towards the stands area where the Chinese fans were on the sidelines.

At this moment, the Chinese fans in the stands were cheering wildly!

A goal has been scored!

It was Yang Yang's goal again!

The first shot of the Chinese team in the whole game was Yang Yang who created the first goal!

The entire Argentina team stood on the court, and they were all a little confused.

The situation was very good just now, but I lost a goal in a blink of an eye.

How did this ball be thrown?

Yang Yang fought with one match and finally confused the goalkeeper. His personal ability was really unexplained, but is Argentina's defense too fragile? It's too sturdy?

Mascherano patted his cheek hard, and felt helpless in his heart: I knew it a long time ago, I knew it long ago!

Looking at Messi again, the Argentine captain put his hands on his hips and stood there, looking very unwilling, but his eyes were confused.

Obviously, he has a shadow on Yang Yang!

In his career, he has never beaten Yang Yang, even if it is just a game.

Just now, before this goal appeared, he firmly believed that there was no suspense in Argentina's defeat to the Chinese team. He would defeat Yang Yang for the first time in his career, and his teammates also supported him.

But now, he doubts!

At least, not so sure.
Chapter completed!
