Kapitel 85: 8 Batty goal
8 Batty goal
Gained a lead in the opening six minutes, and the Argentine quickly took the initiative on the field.
But obviously Nigeria is not willing to lose the whole game like this, and there are still more than 80 minutes in the game!
After conceding two goals in a row in the opening game, the Nigerians finally became normal. The African Eagles recovered from the tension at the beginning. Under the leadership of their midfielder Okocha, the African Eagles launched a few Nice attack.
When defending, Leon also retreated to the backcourt to strengthen Argentina's defense. In River Plate, he played as a midfielder, so he is also handy for defense.
"Leon, the Argentine captain, is really like a captain. He can be seen busy when the team is attacking and defending..." Argentine digital satellite TV station, Varidek said.
"That's true. At least until now, he's a good captain." Although Kempes was also curious about why the Argentine players chose Leon as the captain, no matter what, the Argentine team is playing well now.
The players are wholeheartedly thinking about playing the game well. This kind of atmosphere is absolutely not in the Argentine national team in Leon's previous life.
...
On the court, Leon, who was man-marking Okocha, also took a lot of effort to force the eagle king of the African eagle to pass the ball...
The stadium of the World Cup is the stadium of the World Cup... Leon feels that if it is one-on-one, he does not have any confidence to say that he can defend any Nigerian player alone.
Leon's current advantages are infinitely magnified by himself, that is, his foot skills and cooperation with his teammates in offense.
But his physical and defensive deficiencies are infinitely magnified.
Fortunately, the Argentine midfielder has Sorin, Zanetti, and Simeone filling in for him. Although the defensive quality of the Argentine team is not as good as that of the Italian and French teams, at least this year's Argentine defense line, except for the goalkeeper. There is no place that is too pitted.
Moreover, the Nigerians did not dare to attack with all their strength. The strength of the Argentines is too strong!
However, the Nigerians quickly ushered in a turning point. In the 11th minute of the first half, the Argentine team received their first yellow card in this World Cup. Simeone brought down Nigeria's midfield dribbling master while defending in the midfield Okocha...
The French referee Gilles showed him the yellow card.
Simeone's yellow card was received too early, and as for the next game, Leon had to devote more energy to defense.
Gradually, Argentina's offensive weakened, while Nigeria's offensive rose!
Football is such a trade-off.
In the 17th minute of the first half, Okocha passed Simeone with a delicate pull ball and then kicked directly outside the penalty area!
His long shot hit the crossbar of the Argentine team! The Argentine was shocked in a cold sweat!
Okocha's shot also awakened the fighting spirit of the Eagles!
In the 20th minute of the first half, the Nigerians formed a siege in the frontcourt. Okocha dunked the captain of the Argentine national team, Leon Will, and then went straight into the penalty area. This time, the Argentine goalkeeper Boggs, who has always been regarded as a hidden danger, saved I beat the Argentina team once!
He saves Nigeria striker Laval's shot from close range!
The Nigerian's two consecutive attacks that were infinitely close to the goal also sounded the alarm for the Argentine defense.
At this time, Zanetti also walked towards the captain Leon, "Leon, defending is not an option, we must find a way to attack, you are the captain, you need to respond to your teammates!"
Leon nodded, indeed, the captain himself can't just be a display!
In the 23rd minute of the first half, the Argentine defense line was vacant again. This time, Leon directly shoveled the Nigerian team leader out.
The referee Giller judged that Leon hit the ball first, so it was a good shot.
After the tackle, Leon stood up and clapped his hands towards his teammates: "Guys! Improve your concentration! We want to counterattack! We can't be passively beaten! After breaking the ball, we need to increase our personal dribbling instead of messing with the ball Spread the word! This will only make us more passive!"
All the teammates nodded, and at this time, Batty, Ortega, Zanetti, and Simeone also smiled. This kid is starting to look like a captain.
The Nigerians' offensive is very fierce, but the reason for their fierce offensive is that Argentina has too many invalid passes when they attack. Nigeria's defense has expanded greatly, so it is easy to block Argentina's passes.
But such an expanded defense also gave Argentina's stars a chance to perform.
After stabilizing the morale of the army, Leon once again set an example. He used his skillful ball control skills in the middle to avoid two Nigerian players who were grabbing the ball and handed the ball to the left.
This is a River Plate offensive line.
The little donkey Ortega easily left Nigeria's right back Sawyer behind. His continuous spiking fakes made the easily excitable Sawyer go up blindly. Ortega easily wiped him away and then kicked cross...
In the middle, it's Batty, the God of War again!
Batty's condition is really good today, but it's a pity that Batty missed the top of the ball a bit.
Although Batty's header failed to score, however, the Argentines have begun to find a way to play against Nigeria, and now the Nigerians are more anxious than them, so their defense has expanded greatly.
At this time, the Argentine players can use their outstanding personal abilities to open up the situation.
In particular, Leon's role gradually came into play. His cooperation with Gallardo and Ortega complemented each other. Argentina regained control of the game after being suppressed for more than ten minutes.
This is the case with offensive warfare. When you find a way to suppress your opponent, the opponent can only be beaten.
Leon has increased his chatter with his teammates instead of saying nothing.
A silent captain is not a good captain, and Leon leads by example in transition, so the rest of the Argentine players must do the same.
As time goes by, Argentina is getting better and better.
"Kempes, maybe the players' decision is right, Leon is a captain." Validek couldn't help but said.
"Well, at least so far, he has done a good job." Kempes nodded and said.
While the two Argentine commentators were still discussing how Lionwell, the captain, was doing, on the court, in the 35th minute of the first half, the Argentine launched another beautiful attack.
This is Leon's wonderful triangular cooperation with Zanetti and Sorin in the midfield. After breaking through the middle, Leon played an amazing small-scale pass and cut cooperation with Gallardo and Ortega in the frontcourt. , and finally Ortega entered the penalty area with a low shot...
It's a pity that Saurum, the incomprehensible Nigerian goalkeeper, just made a flying save and blocked Ortega's shot from the bottom line.
This made the little donkey look very regretful. He covered his face with his hands and shook his head regretfully.
After sighing, the Argentine fans at the Ibaraki World Cup Stadium gave their applause to the outstanding Argentine national team players.
Almost, Argentina can lead 3-0.
On the field, the Nigerian players also ran back to the penalty area one after another, and the Argentine team won the third corner kick of the game.
The corner kick is still taken by Leon. His free kick has already caused the Nigerians to suffer. Leon's first kick today is from the forward point. Batty scored with a header, and the second corner kick is to the back. Point, Samuel's header goes wide...
This is a bit scary, because Leon's two corner kicks before the first landing point were all won by his teammates.
Nigerians are very afraid of air combat. The reason why they couldn't get cheap in front of the tall Swedes in their previous life was their height and strength.
The skills and speed of the Nigerians are nothing to say. In the World Cup, no one dared to treat them as underdogs.
However, seeing the handsome captain of the Argentine national team take a corner kick again, the Nigerian players returned to defense one after another... Even the striker Laval came back to help defend.
"The air defense sirens sounded over the Nigerians!" The Argentines' air battles are rarely so cool, but today the God of War Batty and Samuel have already entered Nigeria's airspace!
At the Ibaraki World Cup Stadium, Argentine fans also cheered for Leonwell, who was about to kick a corner kick, with neat and rhythmic applause...
Run up, start! The corner kick taken by Leonwell is different from the previous two times this time, the ball is fast and flat, before the point, Simeone kills like lightning!
boom!
Simeone hit the ball on the crossbar!
The Nigerian defender hurried forward and made a clearance!
Simeone also covered his face with his hands regretfully just like Ortega just now! It's a pity that Ortega and Simeone missed two excellent scoring opportunities in a row.
"I have to say that Leonwell's positioning skills will definitely become a major offensive weapon for the Argentine national team in the future." Kempes said with emotion.
"Well, his set-pieces are indeed very characteristic and varied." Varidek also commented.
On the court, the Nigerian who was almost beaten three to zero is now like a frightened bird, and the momentum of the African Eagle has been completely knocked out.
This is also one of the characteristics of offensive warfare. Whoever has more tenacious willpower and a stronger desire to carry out the attack will have a higher chance of winning the last laugh!
Facing the startled bird of Nigeria, Argentina immediately launched several threatening offensives.
Nigeria is now strictly marking Batty. Wherever Batty goes, there are Nigerian players.
However, Nigeria strictly marked Batty, but missed Leonwell.
Argentina has too many offensive points in the frontcourt, which makes Nigeria hard to defend!
Before the end of the first half, the Argentines almost sealed their first victory in the World Cup group stage.
This is Leonwell's breakthrough in the middle. He drew the attention of Nigeria's defense and then picked up the ball and passed it to the middle of the penalty area...
In this embarrassing position, the two Nigerian defenders had a chance to clear the ball first, but just when West thought that Oklonku would make a clearance, and Okronku thought that West would make a clearance, the two gave way. , God of War Batty was not polite to them!
He snatched it directly between the two, and then shot at the goal!
"Barty goal! Batty goal!!!! Batty goal!!!!!!"
"Hat-trick! God of War Batty's hat-trick! His twelfth goal in the World Cup, he is going towards Gerd Muller's record! My God, he and Leonwell have a good understanding, and this goal again It was an assist from the captain of the Argentine national team, and Leonwell has completed a hat-trick of assists!!!!" The Argentine fans were completely immersed in a sea of joy.
Just when everyone thought that the favorite to win the championship was likely to fall into a hard fight against Nigeria, Leonwell, the captain of the Argentine national team, passed Batty three times in the first day in Argentina!
His position as captain is no longer questioned, and his position as the main force of the Argentine national team is no longer questioned...
Perhaps Leon still has many shortcomings, such as confrontation, such as experience, but his tacit cooperation with his teammates is not comparable to Juan Veron on the bench...
Leon, who completed a hat-trick of assists in the first half, also hugged Batty, Ortega, Gallardo and other teammates one by one again.
And Leon finally broke through the bottleneck and reached the first stage of the ninth level of top professional players! He is now only one step away from the tenth level of top professional players!
When he reaches level ten, he only needs to use the second quest reward of the side quest of 'The First Fan' to get a mid-level upgrade fruit that can instantly upgrade him to the star level!
Star rating... what a coveted level.
When he reaches the star level, Leon can look at the superstars who have changed their lives against the sky, the superstars who lead the world alone, and the Uranus superstars who stand at the top...
Of course, there is also the ball king level that seems out of reach now!
