Chapter 2260 This French team is terribly strong!
"Beep!"
With the whistle of referee Fagani, the game officially begins!
I believe everyone has a very deep impression of Fagani.
That's the referee who whistled against Germany and Mexico...
"Damn, it's this stupid referee again!" Boateng started to scold this guy when he saw him.
"He really has no level. He can even referee a knockout match... Is there no one left in the referee association?" Gotze also complained.
Obviously, everyone really hates him!
As the game started, neither side was too anxious and began to test each other.
Of course, France’s tactics during this period can be summed up in four words – defensive counterattack.
The defenders were Lucas Hernandez, Umtiti, Varane and Pavard.
The main responsibility is defense.
In the middle are Kante, Pogba and Matuidi.
Three defensive midfielders defending!
The attack is mainly left to Griezmann, Mbappe and Martial.
So Argentina quickly took control of the situation on the field.
Ye Chen also began to recall.
If I remember correctly, the first goal was a counterattack by Mbappe, who advanced directly at high speed and finally created a penalty for Rojo!
What does Rojo say?
He was a substitute in Manchester United, but he can play as the main central defender in a game like the World Cup. This indirectly reflects that Argentina really has no central defenders!
However, something happened that shocked Ye Chen...
The first goal was not a penalty from Griezmann, but from right-back Pavard!
After being suppressed by Argentina for 20 minutes, the French team finally got the ball.
Martial wanted to break through with the ball but was stopped by Otamendi.
Pogba in the midfield immediately made a diagonal pass to Mbappe who was playing on the right side today.
Mbappe got the ball and couldn't turn around.
Rojo defended quite well this time!
So he decisively passed the ball back!
"Boom!"
The ball was passed to Pavard who was coming from behind!
Seeing the ball coming over, Pavard didn't even think twice and just swung his right foot and shot it hard...
"boom!"
The football turned into a cannonball and hit the goal directly!
Armani in front of the goal quickly jumped into the air, but his shot was in vain!
"Uh-huh!!!"
"Peach Blossom Shadow Falling Flying Divine Sword!!!"
These seven big words popped up in Ye Chen’s mind!
Oh my god...
Pavard's long-range shot in the World Cup was indeed scored in this game.
It was this goal that was hailed as the best goal of the tournament and made Pavard famous.
But Ye Chen remembered that this goal was scored in the second half!
What is going on?
Chaos!
Total chaos!
The game continues...
It was originally a penalty for France, but it became a penalty for Argentina!
Di Maria broke through on the left side, and Pavard, who had just scored a super world wave, had a disturbance in his hand.
"Smart" Di Maria fell into the penalty area!
The referee Fagani blew the whistle directly.
"Beep!"
Then he pointed directly to the twelve-yard point!
Deschamps on the sidelines immediately complained to the fourth referee.
And VAR also intervened.
In the end they did not change the verdict!
Messi stood at the penalty spot, his hands on his hips, with a very calm expression.
Lori stood in front of the door, looking calm.
This is the time for gaming!
Look who made the mistake!
"Beep!"
Messi started quickly.
He kicked the ball hard towards the lower left corner with his left foot.
What we pursue is angle and speed.
However, Lori in front of the goal attacked quickly!
The direction Messi was heading was where he was hitting...
Maybe he felt that Lori had judged the direction correctly, so he slightly increased the strength the moment his foot touched the football!
The ball passed Lori's save without any suspense.
But the next moment...
"Duang!"
There was a loud bang.
The football hit the post hard and bounced out of the bottom line.
When the fans saw this scene, they were completely stunned.
The person they trusted most actually missed the penalty!
Messi also held his head in his hands, looking incredulous.
He was still very confident when he shot.
But he didn’t get in!
If Argentina loses just one game today, he will become a sinner of the country!
The game continues.
37 minutes 29 seconds.
Argentina, which was behind, took control of the situation on the field.
Di Maria brought the ball to the sideline on the left and decisively chose to cut inside.
But instead of shooting himself, he passed the ball back to Banega in midfield.
Banega is actually not an unknown person. He joined the team before Ye Chen joined Sevilla.
Later, when they played Ajax away, this guy even suggested going to Amsterdam for some fun.
After all, the red light district in the Netherlands is very interesting.
Banega got the ball but did not shoot himself because there were too many people in the penalty area.
Decisively split the ball and found Pavon on the right.
Pavon accelerated to the bottom line and made a decisive cross.
"Oh!"
The football flew into the penalty area.
But Lori acted decisively and took the ball directly.
To be honest, this cross is just nonsense.
Can Messi head the ball in the penalty area?
Can Di Maria at the far end head the ball?
You know I’m not that tall!
Lori got the ball and kicked it directly.
Just when everyone was curious about what he was doing, Mbappe in front moved.
It was from this year in the previous life that when people searched for "French supercar" on the Internet, what came out was no longer a car, but Mbappe!
The football fell directly between goalkeeper Armani and the defender.
Mbappe followed up quickly, and at the moment the ball fell, he gently pushed it with his right foot and rushed towards the penalty area without slowing down.
Armani in the penalty area attacked decisively.
But facing the attacking goalkeeper, Mbappe did the same thing as Wu Lei - learning from Ye Chen and passing the goalkeeper!
But Wu Lei broke through to the left, while Mbappe broke through to the right.
Armani at the door was suddenly panicked.
But Mbappe, who had completed the overtaking, gave a light push and the ball went into the goal!
"Goooooooal!!!"
The German soldiers who were watching the game in the hotel all had their mouths shaped into O shapes.
This is too fast!
"Brother Chen, I'm almost catching up with you at this speed!" Gotze exclaimed.
"He's not as fast as Brother Chen... We have a speed ranking in our team!" Rudiger solved the case directly.
Kimmich also nodded, "But his speed is a huge challenge for our defense!"
"I hope they can be defeated by Argentina. If not, we can only rely on Portugal..." Muller said somewhat melancholy.
Portugal?
If I remember correctly, Portugal didn't even make it to the quarterfinals and was sent home by Uruguay.
Of course, such thoughts only passed through my mind.
Although this was the case in the previous life, it is not necessarily the case in this world!
Just like this game, it's completely different.
France beat Argentina 2-0.
The Argentine fans at the scene were already numb.
If it was 1:1, the situation wouldn't be so passive.
But at this time Argentina was already two goals behind...
Until the end of the first half, the score was still France 2-0 Argentina.
Such a score stunned fans all over the world.
France has not been strong in recent years, while Argentina is very strong.
This included their run to the 2014 World Cup final.
As for France, it has really not been doing well in recent years.
But anyone who is interested will see that France is not weak at all, but incredibly strong!
