Chapter 701 The Country’s Boss Arrives in Person·Decisive Battle
Three hours before the war, Argentina announced its starting lineup for the final:
Goalkeeper: Romero
Defenders: Zabaleta, Pareja, Garay, Monzon
Field: Mascherano, Gago, Messi, Riquelme, Di Maria
Forward: Aguero
The 451 formation they played is actually equivalent to 4213, because Messi and Di Maria are equivalent to the left and right wingers, Riquelme meets the attacking midfielder, and the double defensive midfielders are Mascherano and Gago.
"Messi is the best player in the world," said Argentina Olympic team coach Batista. "The entire team is performing very well and playing at a good level. And the reason why we were able to win the game is because we We put 100% into the game. We just need to pass the ball to Messi and we can wait for the result."
Although the old horse son-in-law Aguero is the striker, Batista still praises Messi fiercely. It seems that I feel uncomfortable even if I don't brag about Messi for a day, as if I am afraid that Messi won't hear me, and I want to give Messi more confidence.
"Messi, Messi, Messi, I can hear it. Is Messi so awesome?" The Chinese fans sat in a bar in Sanlitun and laughed at Batista's words. Don't take Messi seriously. "When the game ends, Batista will say, 'Ah, our team lacks a Dong Fangzhuo, a terminator.', damn it, and then gets slapped in the face. .”
"The day before yesterday, Maradona also said that Dong Fangzhuo has no talent. I really don't know how Maradona's head grows. How can he be the top scorer in the Premier League, the top scorer in the World Cup, the top scorer in the Asian Cup, and the Olympic Games without talent? Top scorer, Footballer of the Year and Ballon d'Or, Maradona is not an ordinary defender. If so many shooters' honors can be said to be without talent, then what are Messi and Aguero?" National fans are full of praise for Maradona. Donner's remarks were very unpleasant.
Subsequently, Krauchen also announced the national team’s starting lineup for the final:
Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng
Defenders: Yuan Weiwei, Feng Xiaoting, Zheng Zhi, Zhu Ting
Field: Zhao Xuri, Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin, Chen Tao, Mao Jianqing
Forward: Dong Fangzhuo.
Like the Argentina team, their formation is also 451, but based on the personnel configuration, it is more like 4231. Although Chen Tao did not perform well against Italy and Nigeria, Krauchen still chose to believe in Chen Tao and play against Argentina. For teams that don't pay so much attention to defense, Chen Tao's role will become greater.
It can be said,
This is a confrontation between two enemy teams. From the World Youth Championship to the Olympics, from Messi to Dong Fangzhuo, there are many, many stories between them.
And the future of this story will begin three hours later...

Two hours before the game, CCAV5 began to cut off the live broadcast of other projects, leaving Channel 5 exclusively for the national football team. Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Lu came together to commentate on the final.
"The national team's task is arduous."
"If Argentina wins the Beijing Olympics, they will break the curse of not having a defending champion in the Olympic men's football competition since the 1972 Munich Olympics. In addition, the winning streak of 12 games in two consecutive Olympic Games will also rewrite the record created by Uruguay 80 years ago. The winning streak has become a new record for the Centennial Olympic Games."
"After three consecutive wins in the group stage, Argentina has broken the Olympic winning streak record. The previous record for the longest winning streak in Olympic men's football matches was set by Uruguay 80 years ago. It started with a 7-0 victory over Yugoslavia at the 1924 Paris Olympics. , until the 1:1 draw with Argentina in the final four years later. During this period, Uruguay won 8 consecutive games. 80 years later, if the Argentina team led by Batista defeats Argentina in regular time, this will be The record is rewritten.”
"So, we can't let Argentina succeed. I still clearly remember the scene when the Chinese team lost to Argentina on penalty kicks in the semi-finals of the 2005 World Youth Championship. I believe that the Chinese fans who watched that semi-final have a sense of revenge at this moment. Burning in my heart, today will be a good day, we will face Argentina at home."
Huang Jianxiang is slowly guiding everyone's emotions...
"We don't want a winning streak, we just want a championship, and we want revenge!"
"Hehe," Zhang Lu chuckled at the side, and then finally spoke.
"I think this game will start at 55. Argentina may not win the game. I still remember that we played them 4:4. Going forward, we only played them 1:1 in 1999. 2. We are not afraid of them at all. Don’t be frightened by the reputation of the Argentine team, such as Riquelme, Messi, Mascherano, Aguero, etc. I admit that they are indeed very strong, but , don’t we have strong players?”
"Dong Fangzhuo, do they have it? No one in the Argentine team has won the Ballon d'Or, so we have nothing to fear, and we don't need to worry or imagine how good they are. No matter who the opponent is, we have Dong Fangzhuo!"
"That's enough."
"Klauschen is too familiar with Argentina, and the players are also very familiar with Argentina. I believe we all know Argentina. On the contrary, Argentina may have forgotten us long ago. This is very good. From the outside world, they are The favorites, but in our hearts, we are the final champions, that’s enough! Hehe.”
Although the program was made two hours in advance, the ratings are soaring and have broken the record for the highest ratings. The ratings for the World Cup quarter-finals were 5 percentage points higher...

An hour before the battle.
The Bird's Nest Stadium is already overcrowded, and Chinese fans have already poured into the stadium and can't wait for the game to start. The Bird's Nest has 80,000 permanent seats and 11,000 temporary seats, but the number of fans who poured into the Bird's Nest Stadium today is said to be more than 100,000, maybe more. No one knows exactly how many people came. Anyway, no fans were sitting.
Only a small number of Argentinian fans wearing blue and white striped jerseys sat in one stand, while all other places were occupied by national fans.
At this time, the Bird's Nest Stadium was buzzing with gongs and drums, and it was overwhelming.
"Arise, you who do not want to be slaves!"
Someone directly directed the fans to sing the national anthem at the scene. If one person sang, ten, hundreds, thousands, or ten thousand people would sing along, and then the whole audience would sing along.
The magnificent national anthem sounded at the Bird's Nest Stadium, like a huge symphony...
※※※※
"Everyone is here."
Half an hour before the war, Krauchen walked slowly into the locker room, looked around the audience, and asked the young translator next to him.
"Everyone is here."
"Very good." Krauchen nodded, then waved to the assistant beside him, "Let's get started."
Dong Fangzhuo and the others looked at Krauchen with some confusion. They didn't know what tricks the old man was playing. The finals were about to begin. What else was he going to do? The tactics that should be deployed have been laid out a long time ago. Are there any changes?
But in an instant, the lights in the dressing room went out.
Dong Fangzhuo's head was filled with questions, and he felt more and more confused, but soon the light came out again, and the TV screen in the dressing room lit up.
What caught my eye was the semi-finals of the 2005 World Youth Championship, the National Youth Team VS the Argentina National Youth Team!
Everyone's eyes were the same as Dong Fangzhuo's, and they were instantly lifted to an infinite height!
"Messi, Messi, Messi, Messi scored! The national team is falling behind!"
"Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo equalized the score!"
"..."
"..."
"Messi fell down in the penalty area. It was a dive. It was definitely a dive! But the referee awarded a penalty kick. Argentina is very likely to equalize with this fictitious penalty kick!"
Looking at the highlights of the competition and Huang Jianxiang's familiar roar, Dong Fangzhuo's faces became more and more rosy, and anger gradually grew in them.
"..."
"Ah, Gao Lin's ball flew away. The national team lost and failed to reach the finals,"
“Argentina shamelessly reaches the World Youth Championship final!”
"However, even though we are defeated, we are still glorious. The glory belongs to the country!"
Huang Jianxiang's voice is still roaring...
Then, Krauchen's voice immediately sounded, no, almost roared.
It was the first time the national team players saw Krauchen transform into a growler.
"Now, your enemy is standing outside!"
"Maybe he is your biggest enemy in your life!"
"Your chance for revenge has come!"
"You need to step on their corpses and take back the honor that belongs to you!"
"No excuses! No failure! No retreat!"
"Wash away everything with the championship!"
"drink!"
In the locker room of the national team, fighting spirit surged instantly, and every player's eyes were burning with anger. This video and Krauchen's roar had completely put them into a fighting state...
※※※※
Five minutes before the battle, the stands were filled with excitement! Cheers and applause broke out.
The country's top leader suddenly appeared in the stands and waved gently to the audience...
"What's going on?" Dong Fangzhuo and Zheng Zhi, who were standing in the players' tunnel, looked at each other. They didn't know why it was so hot outside, but they still went out.
"have no idea."
"It seems like something big happened?"
As a result, Zhu Heyuan hurriedly trotted to the front of the team, not looking like the leader of a big country at all.
"I have some good news for you,"
When Zhu Heyuan spoke, he was very calm, unlike his hurried and confused look.
"The boss of our country is sitting in the stands right now."
The boss of the country, how many bosses can there be?
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and then their fighting spirit immediately rose again.
Even the country’s boss is here, isn’t this a life-threatening match?
It can be imagined that the national team attaches great importance to this game. Even the top leaders are here. Before, they thought that the boss just told them and would not come to watch the game. Now the boss is here in person.
"Bros,"
"!"
Zheng Zhi waved his hand, roared loudly, and followed the referee team out...
