Chapter 309

Qiu Shengjiong made a world-class save, saving Messi's wonderful pass and Aguero's shot in the penalty area that went straight to the dead corner, saving the Chinese team.

Therefore, Li Weifeng and other teammates came forward to hug him and thank him for this save.

Perhaps, this is also the reaction speed and save speed given to Qiu Shengjiong by the full value of the on-the-spot state, otherwise the ball is more likely to be missed.

Because the angle is too tricky and the speed is too fast, even a world-class goalkeeper can hardly save it.

At this moment, Qiu Shengjiong showed the level and performance of a world-class goalkeeper.

Even Aguero, who was shooting, looked at Qiu Shengjiong and felt incredible.

He was ready to celebrate the goal just now, but he didn't expect that the ball was saved by Qiu Shengjiong. Aguero's depression can be seen.

Then, Argentina took a corner kick, but failed to grab the first point to create a threat, and was cleared by central defender Li Weifeng out of the penalty area.

But the Chinese team failed to seize the opportunity to counterattack, because the ball was controlled by the Argentines as soon as it left the penalty area.

Not only the offensive ability, but also the control of the midfield by Argentina with Riquelme is also world-class, and the Chinese team can hardly get the ball.

So Jiang Xiaolin's goal in the first half is so precious.

Because the Chinese team has very few opportunities to pass the ball to Jiang Xiaolin.

It is not possible to counterattack by clearing the ball.

Sometimes when the ball is cleared to the midfield, the landing point of the ball is closer to the opponent's players than Jiang Xiaolin, so even if Jiang Xiaolin is the best at running, grabbing points, and speed, it is useless.

They have the advantage and can control the ball first.

Besides, the control ability of the Chinese team's midfielders is not as good as that of Argentina.

Whether it is Riquelme, Messi, Di Maria, Mascherano, Gago, or even the full-backs Zavaleta and Monzon, their personal ball control ability can crush the Chinese players. It is difficult for the Chinese team to grab the ball. They can only get the ball after the opponent makes a mistake or shoots.

In the 49th minute, the full-back Monzon joined the assist from the wing and played a continuous cooperation with Di Maria. Finally, Di Maria brought the ball to about 15 meters near the baseline and then passed it horizontally.

Riquelme pretended to receive the ball and shoot in the middle, and the Chinese players made a fake shot. Even the goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong was shaken.

In the end, he did not touch the ball, but raised his leg to let the ball roll from his feet to the left: Riquelme missed the ball.

Messi, who followed on the left, rushed up to meet the ball and shot it. The ball was like a sword piercing the heart, and rushed towards the goal of the Chinese team along the grass.

Fortunately, although Messi's shooting skills are good, he can never reach Jiang Xiaolin's level of shooting wherever he points. Although the ball hit the goal frame, the angle was not sharp.

Qiu Shengjiong, who was originally shaken by Riquelme's missed ball, was able to react and barely fell to the ground to save the ball, and then was kicked out of the sideline by the nervous Feng Xiaoting.

The technical advantage of the Argentines is too great, and the Chinese team is far behind.

If Jiang Xiaolin hadn't cheated to increase the overall on-site state of the Chinese team to 100%, I'm afraid the Chinese team would have been beaten into a sieve long ago.

Even so, the Chinese team had a very difficult time defending, and sometimes they were forced to use foul tactics.

In the 53rd minute, full-back Zavaleta suddenly inserted an assist, which disrupted the Chinese team's defensive formation. When he received a pass from his teammate and cut inside to the left wing outside the penalty area and was about to pose a threat, Zhou Haibing had to shovel him to the ground.

Zhou Haibing received the first yellow card of the game, and Argentina also got a free kick in a good position in the frontcourt.

Riquelme and Messi stood behind the penalty spot, and it seemed that they had no idea who would take the free kick.

However, Riquelme was much more famous than Messi at this time.

Although Messi was known as the successor to the King of Football, he was still a young player after all, while Riquelme had long been a world-famous superstar.

Therefore, Qiu Shengjiong focused his attention on Riquelme, and ignored Messi who started early.

Sure enough, Messi just made a feint, and Riquelme, who followed closely behind, was the real penalty taker.

Riquelme's free kick successfully bypassed the wall and then went into the goal frame, and the angle was also good.

But Qiu Shengjiong showed a very high level of saves this time, saving Riquelme's shot.

Riquelme, who was ready to celebrate, waved his hands helplessly, looking depressed.

As the core and captain of Argentina, he has made no achievements in this final, no goals, no assists, and the team is behind. There is no doubt that he isFailed.

He actually played a good free kick, but unfortunately the opponent's goalkeeper also played well. He actually made a prediction and started early, saving his high-quality free kick, which made Riquelme feel a little unlucky.

If Argentina is defeated by the Chinese team today, it will be really unlucky.

Of course, the game has to continue.

Argentina's corner kick was taken by Messi.

Messi's height has almost no room for performance in the corner kick battle, so he can only take the corner kick.

With his footwork, taking a corner kick is still a good choice.

Sure enough, Argentina's corner kick was really successful this time.

Messi kicked the ball into the penalty area with one foot, and the Argentine central defender Pareja who rushed into the penalty area to compete for the header did indeed beat Li Weifeng near the penalty spot to compete for the first point and headed the ball.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to head the ball, Li Weifeng pulled him hard, causing Pareja to lose his balance and miss the position he expected, causing the ball to go slightly above the crossbar.

After heading the ball out, Pareja knew that the ball did not go in.

Therefore, during the process of falling, Pareja deliberately did not keep his balance and let his body be pulled to the ground by Li Weifeng, trying to win the referee's sympathy and get a penalty.

As a result, the referee ignored him and told him to get up quickly, then left the penalty area.

Helplessly, Pareja could only get up, spread his hands in a complaining manner, indicating that the referee was biased, and then left the penalty area, allowing goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong to serve the goal kick.

Qiu Shengjiong kicked the goal kick with a big foot, but it was not kicked well, far away from Jiang Xiaolin's scramble range. The ball was taken by the Argentines, who quickly organized an attack and made a comeback.

The Argentines' skills were so outstanding that it was difficult for the Chinese team to grab the ball even if the overall state was 100%.

Under the continuous bombardment of the Argentines, the Chinese team's defense finally fell in the 55th minute.

In the 55th minute, Messi showed his strength as the successor of the king of football Maradona.

After getting the ball in the middle, he drove straight into the penalty area, breaking through the defense of Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuri and passing the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

After the winger Di Maria entered the penalty area and got the ball, he made a shooting motion, which caused Li Weifeng, who was running over to defend in the middle, to throw his whole body out to try to block the gun hole.

As a result, Di Maria faked a shot and dribbled the ball to the bottom line, passing Li Weifeng who fell to the ground due to a flying tackle.

Just now, Di Maria's fake shot and dribbled the ball not only knocked Li Weifeng down, but also almost knocked goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong to the ground.

When Qiu Shengjiong found that Di Maria did not shoot the first time, but broke through the bottom line, it was too late when he rushed to the near corner again.

Di Maria took a step towards the baseline, dodged Li Weifeng's body interception, and then directly kicked the ball into the near corner.

The angle of Di Maria's shot was already quite small, but it was too close to the goal.

Goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong could only subconsciously rush over from a distance, but he had no idea where to rush, so he could only try his best to rush to the lower corner.

As a result, Di Maria hit the upper corner.

The ball flew over Qiu Shengjiong's head with a "swish", and lifted the top net hard, lifting it high.

After 55 minutes of bombardment in the first and second half, Argentina finally broke the door of the Chinese team. Messi assisted Di Maria to score a small-angle shot in the penalty area, tying the score to 1-1.

When Di Maria's shot flew over Qiu Shengjiong's head and flew into the goal, the Argentine fans who had been holding back for more than 50 minutes finally released the depression and excitement in their hearts.

Thousands of Argentine fans in the stands celebrated with a roar that only tens of thousands of people could have.

The Argentine commentator in the commentary booth also stood up excitedly and roared loudly, which made the Chinese commentator stare at him with envy.

"It would be great if the Chinese team scored this goal!" The commentator of the National Television Sports Channel complained in his heart.

On the court, the Argentine players who should have experienced countless big scenes and were knowledgeable also fell into excited celebration.

Before the final started, they never expected that this final would be so difficult.

Even after the game started for a while, they didn't realize that this final would be so difficult.

Because in terms of the situation, they have been suppressing the Chinese team and bombarding them. Everyone thought that it was only a matter of time for Argentina to score and take the lead. The question was just how many goals they could score and how many goals they could score to beat the host Chinese team in the whole game.

As a result, who would have thought that the first goal was scored by the Chinese team playing a defensive counterattack.

The Chinese team took the lead with a counterattack goal by Jiang Xiaolin.Argentina.

Argentina's bombardment has always been loud but insignificant. It looks like a big show, but it has not been able to score any goals.

This made the Argentine players very angry and anxious.

Therefore, now that Di Maria finally scored the first goal for Argentina and tied the score, it is no wonder that everyone was so excited that they couldn't help themselves and celebrated wildly.

Even Riquelme, who has seen a lot, was caught up in the carnival of celebrating the goal and couldn't help himself.

Argentina's celebration lasted for a long time, but the Chinese team did not interfere or protest to the referee. They didn't care how long they celebrated.

Because for the Chinese team, a draw is not the end of the world, it just allows everyone to take a break.

As a passive defensive party, the Chinese team actually consumes much more physical energy than the Argentines. If it weren't for Jiang Xiaolin's support of everyone's state to 100%, I'm afraid someone would have been unable to hold on.

In addition, the weather today was very hot, and it was not pleasant to play football in the middle of the day under the scorching sun.

Therefore, when the Argentines were celebrating, many Chinese players took the opportunity to go to the sidelines to rehydrate, and did not care how long the Argentines would celebrate.

As a result, Argentina's celebration lasted for more than half a minute, and finally the referee couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to intervene and asked them to end the celebration and resume the game.

After the game resumed, the Argentine team, which had just scored a goal to tie the score, was in high spirits and attacked more fiercely.

Obviously, everyone thought that Argentina's luck had come, and they wanted to make persistent efforts, score another goal, and directly reverse the score.

Chinese commentators, fans, and spectators also had this worry, fearing that the Chinese team would lose their footing if they lost the ball, and then collapse.

The unexpected result was that the Chinese team did not seem to be in disarray because of the loss of the ball just now. It was still similar to the previous performance. They tried their best to defend their own penalty area and goal steadily, and did not let the Argentines take advantage of the situation to score a second goal.

In the 58th minute, the Argentines created a threat.

Riquelme took the ball with his back outside the penalty area and turned around with a beautiful fake move, and passed the ball to the corner of the penalty area.

Messi, who cut in from the wing, dribbled into the penalty area and posed a threat.

Just when Messi was about to shoot, Li Weifeng in the penalty area made a precise and decisive tackle, knocking Messi down in the penalty area with the ball.

The Argentine players naturally shouted to the referee immediately, saying that Li Weifeng fouled in the penalty area and should be given a penalty.

But the referee shook his head, ignored them, and told Messi to get up and continue the game.

In fact, it was.

Through slow-motion replay, the audience in front of the TV can clearly see that Li Weifeng first tackled the ball and then brought Messi down, and there was no dangerous action of raising his foot too high.

Li Weifeng went for the ball and successfully tackled the ball away. This was a very accurate, decisive and courageous tackle defense in the penalty area.

On the one hand, this shows Li Weifeng's personal confidence, and on the other hand, it also reflects that the Chinese team did not shrink back or be afraid of the opponent's first goal.

The performance of the Chinese team is still as outstanding and stable as before.

Although the individual abilities of the players are far behind Argentina, the overall defensive coordination is far better than the offensive coordination of the Argentines.

The two offset each other, and Argentina's idea of ​​striking while the iron is hot and continuing to score the second goal was a failure.

Afterwards, the game fell into a stalemate, and Argentina continued to press the Chinese team, but failed to score.

The Chinese team relied on Jiang Xiaolin's speed and personal ability to occasionally create a counterattack and threaten Argentina's penalty area and goal.

But scoring a goal is also very difficult.
