Chapter 419 Reincarnation
"aoaooaoaooaooooo——"
The cheers from the Spartak Arena were overwhelming. Except for the Argentinian fans who were slumped in their seats in despair, most of the fans stood up, creating a huge roar as violent as a tsunami, marking Li Qing’s achievement as the biggest in World Cup history. The young hat-trick player screamed wildly.
Li Qing, who performed a hat trick, was somewhat ecstatic compared to his previous calmness.
Before the game, he knew that Pele had the youngest hat trick in the World Cup, so he also tried to score more goals in the first round against Argentina, so when the expected goal was achieved, the clarity would naturally explode and be difficult to suppress.
Li Qing was happy, and his teammates were even happier.
England and Argentina have met five times in the World Cup. The first time the two teams met was in the 1962 World Cup in Chile. At that time, England, which lost in the first round of the group, defeated Argentina 3:1 in the second round, edging out Argentina for second place in the group and qualifying for the group stage.
Four years later, in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in England, England's Hurst scored the final goal in the second half and defeated Argentina 1:0.
The third meeting between the two teams took place in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Argentina and England met again in the 1/finals. This encounter created Argentine superstar Maradona to become the world champion. One of his two wonderful goals became the World Cup The number one goal so far, the other goal was the hand of God that has been immortalized throughout the ages and is so impressive.
The 1/8 finals of the 1998 World Cup in France was the fourth meeting between the two teams. Affected by Beckham's red card, they lost to Argentina in a penalty shootout and were eliminated.
England and Argentina met for the fifth time in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. In the second round of the group stage, they defeated Argentina 1:0 with Beckham's penalty kick, giving the two teams the upper hand.
The sixth confrontation is in the 2018 Russia World Cup group stage. However, compared with the past five games, the score of this game seems to be easier to determine the winner, or it gives people a clear sense of strength and weakness. .
Of course, if you watch the game, you will know that England's big lead over Argentina is due to Li Qing's super performance, and actually has little to do with England as a whole.
The first goal was a header, the second goal was a precise long pass from Li Qing, the third goal was a powerful long-range shot, and the fourth goal was a direct free kick.
If Li Qing hadn't played, England might have scored, but they would never have been ahead of Argentina...
Therefore, the England players, who were leading by three goals, were ecstatic and rushed towards Li Qing, who contributed three goals, with great excitement.
The joy of one side contrasts with the sadness of the other. Messi and other Argentine players all looked devastated, as if they had lost something vital.
The on-site director switched the camera to show Argentine football king Maradona sitting in the VIP seat.
Fans sitting in front of the TV could feel that Maradona was in great pain. He was pulling his hair with his hands, obviously very disappointed with this game.
Argentina head coach Sampaoli squatted in the coaching area. Before the game, he vowed that defeating England was just a matter of time. There were still more than 20 minutes in the game and he really didn't know what to do.
The players' fighting spirit has dropped to freezing point. It is not known whether they can score goals, and they will definitely continue to lose goals.
If Argentina loses to England by a huge margin under his coaching, there is no way to make up for it even if he resigns.
"what can we do about it?"
Until the English players celebrating the goal returned to their own half one after another, Sampaoli did not think of a solution.
The game was restarted at the whistle of the referee Irmatov. Argentina, led by Messi, seemed to have not recovered from the loss. The team's offense was disorganized and its defense was full of loopholes.
Fortunately, England took a big lead and spent the game time reasonably.
Li Qing no longer has the desire to score goals against Argentina, which has almost no resistance. For him, scoring more goals is tantamount to a shame.
Unless Argentina scores another goal, he wants both sides to develop peacefully and wait for the game to end.
The following game process was relatively dull. England, which was leading by three goals, basically gave up attacking and focused on consuming the game time reasonably.
Argentina, which was lagging behind by a big score, did not recover from the blow until the 80th minute, but it was obviously too late. England had already made targeted arrangements for Argentina's possible counterattack.
In the 86th minute, England prepared to make the final substitution adjustment.
Rashford stood next to the fourth official, who had also adjusted the substitution number. The red Arabic numeral was number 10, which meant that the next player Rashford replaced was Li Qing.
Southgate's idea of substitution is very obvious, which is to let Li Qing receive the applause of the fans while getting a rest.
"aooaoaooaooooooooo——"
The English fans in the Spartak Arena obviously noticed the substitution electronic board displaying the number, and the overwhelming chants accompanied by thunderous applause resounded in the sky: "papappaaaaaaa——"
Since the game was still going on, Rashford had to wait until the dead ball appeared when he came on as a substitute. The on-site director was very professional and showed Messi attacking with the ball. As the captain of Argentina, he has the responsibility to help Argentina score before the end of the game. .
Even if it can't equalize the score, it can at least save some face.
Even if faced with two or three frontal defenses, Messi decided to give it a try.
Unexpectedly, just as his attention was focused on Henderson, Milner and Ashley Young in front of him, a white shadow suddenly flashed from behind on the right side. It was so fast that he had no time to react. .
In other words, the reaction becomes a little slower as we age than when we were younger.
The situation in a football match changes rapidly, and a slight delay of 0.1 seconds will result in a different result. So when Messi tried to protect the ball, it was already too late, and the ball was given to Henderson in the middle by Li Qingtong.
China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice suddenly rose an octave higher: "Li Qing!"
At the same time, Messi also knew who stabbed the football away from his feet through the Arabic numerals and English letters on the back.
"aoaooaooaoaoooooo——"
The English fans in the audience broke into even louder cheers, which resounded throughout the Spartak Arena.
After stealing the ball, Li Qing did not stay where he was. Instead, he braked on the spot, twisted around, and faced the attack direction again.
Henderson didn't stick to the ball. He passed the ball and the football rolled towards Li Qing's forward running route.
Messi, who lost control of the football, ignited the unyielding flame in his heart, quickly turned around and chased Li Qing.
As a result, the fans at the scene saw a scene of excitement.
The black number 10 is chasing the white number 10, just like the end of the second leg of the 2017-2018 Champions League semi-finals.
It's just that this time the positions of the two have been reversed, or in other words, this is a reincarnation.
