46 Barbecue, Germanic Brawl!
"Hey, Leo, what are you thinking? You are the starter today, I'm so envious of you.
"The Confederations Cup has entered its third match day. Today, the Argentine team will face the host team, Germany, at the World Cup Stadium in Frankfurt, Nuremberg.
After the end of the first round, Bielsa also decided today that Messi, who is only 19 years old, will start for Argentina for the first time.
Both "Ole" and "Clarion" in Argentina are very optimistic about this young man who is known as the second Maradona. After Leonwell, the talented players in Argentina are like a blowout. Appeared, Carlos Tevez, Mascherano, Higuain, Messi... Including Aguero who is now famous in Argentina, Argentine fans also call this generation of Argentina team "youth team". Guards".
How could Higuain not be envious of seeing his colleague Messi get the chance to start? So while sitting on the way to the Frankfurt Stadium, Higuain also looked envious.
Little Messi didn't seem to have too many thoughts. He clenched his fists and sat in a trembling posture along the way. After all, for the young Messi, this was his first start in the national team.
Although Messi already had the experience of the national team before, it was definitely his first time to start.
Excited, nervous... Unlike Higuain's envy, Messi now feels like he is sitting on pins and needles.
In addition to Messi, Mascherano will also start with Leon today. After all, in a game like the Confederations Cup, and it is still a group stage, each national team focuses on training.
Of course, Bielsa would not miss such a good training opportunity, so the madman also decided to let Messi and Mascherano play in the game against the German team.
Mascherano is still playing for Porto now, and is already the main core of Porto. Speaking of which, in this Argentine team, there are many people from the Mendes faction, Higuain, Messi, Mascherano Lano... One Argentine player after another has joined Mendes' camp under Leon's plan.
You know, there is a saying in European football at present, that is, whoever wins Mendes wins the world. This great stick who came to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to sign Leon with no money at the beginning has become a major player in Europe. The guests of the rich and powerful.
…The World Cup stadium in Frankfurt, Germany, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people, was packed today.
After all, it is the game of the host German team. Like the Argentine team, the current German team is also very young. The national team includes Ram, Schweinsteiger, Mertesacker, Metzelder, and Podols. Such a young man.
The contest between the two Young Guards also attracted a lot of media attention. For Leon and Bielsa, this is a very important game.
Because this game will be the first time that the Argentine team will use modern instruments in the game.
Bielsa's three assistants each hold a laptop, which will immediately tell Bielsa the running distance, moving range and various statistics of the players on the field.
And before the game, Bielsa had obtained a lot of information from the German team, including the field habits and characteristics of each of their players, and the players of the Argentine team knew it all.
Modern football is inseparable from high technology. The rise of German football is inseparable from their high technology. Every time there is a big game, German scouts will go to all over the world to collect information on the opponents of the German team. The most famous Mo It's more than that little note from the World Cup in Germany in 2006.
In that classic quarter-finals match, the Argentine team and the German team fought hard for 120 minutes. In the end, in the penalty shootout, the goalkeeper Lehmann of the German team guessed the direction of the penalty kick of the Argentine player. Help Germany beat Argentina.
After the game, the little note Lehman received from his assistant coach has become a classic.
And in the later British peak match between Manchester United and Chelsea, in that famous Champions League final, there was even more scheming by Van der Sar and Chelsea players.
Because of that game, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar also got a small note. The most classic scene of that game was Anelka, who took the penalty kick for Chelsea, knew that Van der Sar knew he would kick on the right, so he To the left and Van der Sar knew that Anelka knew he would go to the right, so he went to the left.
All in all, modern football cannot do without high technology.
... "What's the matter, Leo, so nervous?" Looking at Messi who was constantly trembling, Leon also patted him on the shoulder.
Poor little Messi has already played quite a few games for Barcelona this season, and the fans and momentum at Camp Nou are definitely bigger than today's Frankfurt Stadium, but this is an international arena after all, and it's his first start for the Argentine team. How can Messi, who is wearing the No. 19 jersey, not be nervous.
"Lai, Leon, I feel my heart beating so fast, and then, I feel, my body, my body, no, no, no, shaking..." Messi looked at Leon nervously and said .
Leon smiled at Messi, "Leo, if you are too nervous, just take a few deep breaths and think of it as an ordinary game."
Messi nodded, looking at Messi's nervous face, Leon also suddenly remembered the scene when he wore the captain's armband of the Argentine national team for the first time to play for the Argentine team.
..."Viewers and friends in front of the TV, welcome to watch the second round match of the Confederations Cup between Argentina and Germany brought to you by Argentine Digital Satellite TV. As you can see, the Argentine and German teams have entered the field now Now, at the forefront of the Argentine team is captain Leon Weir, and at the forefront of the German team is Michal Ballack!" The golden pair of Kempes and Validek will continue to bring Argentine fans to explain.
With the entry of players from the two teams, the Frankfurt World Cup Stadium also began to boil.
The fans of the German team told the world with their passion that the Germans can also be very unrestrained, while the fans of the Argentine team are always fiery.
It's just a pity that Argentine fans can't play "Avalanche" in the international arena, otherwise, such a scene will definitely be quite shocking.
"Long time no see, Leon." As Leon's former teammate, Piggy Schweinsteiger also smiled at Leon.
"You've become stronger, Schwein." Leon smiled at the little pig, and then punched him hard in the chest.
"It seems that you haven't forgotten how to say it in German. Hey, hey, I said, Leon, you punched hard enough." Schweinsteiger smiled at Leon and said.
After shaking hands with his former teammates in the German team and talking about the past, Leon also walked towards the center circle. He and Ballack were going to the referee to choose sides.
Ballack will never forget this Argentine who has left him countless painful memories, so when he was picking sides with Leon, although Barak's expression was the same as before, Leon still got the most from Ballack's fighting spirit. He saw hostility towards himself in his eyes.
Speaking of which, it would be strange if Ballack had no hostility towards Leon. You know, when Ballack came to Bayern with the aura of Germany's first man, he always heard people around him talking about Leon's past... Helpless, the monument left by Leonwell to Ballack is too difficult to surpass, the Triple Crown, how many Triple Crowns can there be in Europe?
Whenever I hear people say that Ballack is already very strong, and you are only a little worse than Leon, Ballack gets angry. Why do you have to compare yourself with Leonwell?
When I was in Leverkusen, when I lost to Bayern Munich, my teammates would always say that Leonwell was too strong... For Ballack, he was sad in his previous life, but he in this life It is even more tragic.
Originally thought that after joining Bayern, he could get out of Leonwell's shadow, but joining Bayern made Ballack even more tragic.
Lionwell, Lionwell, Lionwell! screw you! Lao Tzu's name is Michael Barak, not a substitute for Lionwell!
For Ballack, the best way to get out of Lionwell's shadow is to lead the German team to beat Argentina today!
The German team in this life is already very strong at this time because of Leon. With strong teammates and home court advantage, Ballack is confident of defeating Leonwell.
That's why Leon saw the hostility in Barack's eyes when he was picking sides.
The pick ended soon, and the Argentine team got the right to kick off. After Leon patted Messi on the butt, he motioned Messi to kick off with Crespo.
Messi nodded tremblingly. This is the first time that Messi has represented the Argentine team in the middle circle and kicked off.
Come on, Messi, you will get used to it in the future, because in the future, you will be the best choice for Argentina's striker.
... The game started amid the cheers of the German fans at the World Cup Stadium in Frankfurt. After kick-off, Messi and Crespo passed the ball back to Leon's feet.
Now the tactics of this German team are completely replicating the tactics of the Bayern team. As the saying goes, Bayern is booming, and German football is booming for this reason.
If the current German coach Klinsmann is only from the perspective of tactical layout, 10,000 Klinsmanns may not be comparable to Bielsa. This German national team, what Leon pays more attention to is to make suggestions for Klinsmann Loew. In fact, Klinsmann is good at inspiring the morale of the army. He and Loew focus on tactics and the psychology of the players. It can be said that they complement each other perfectly.
It's like the Argentina team, where Leon is the political commissar and Bielsa is the commander.
The German team began to press forward at the beginning of the game. Their strikers started today with Klose and Boji. During this period, Klose already had considerable foot skills under the feeding of Micoud, so Leon played before the game. I also told the defense players of the Argentine team, never underestimate Klose.
For the German team's forward pressure, the Argentine team responded with skillful ball control. The Argentine team's foot skills are too outstanding, and the two full-backs Luis Gonzalez and Maxi Rodriguez on the left and right Stan has a fairly strong ability to break through.
In fact, the Argentine team has many players who have been ignored by the media. For example, Luis Gonzalez, although his speed is not as fast as Di Maria later, but he plays very steadily and is very versatile in all aspects. In this regard, he and Maxi Rodriguez are almost twin brothers.
Using their excellent foot skills, the Argentine team quickly took the initiative under the leadership of Leon. The Germans quickly retreated after the forward pressure failed to achieve any results, while the Argentine team was unhurried and steady. Eroding the German defense zone.
It's too calm... Is this really a Young Guards army?
They acted like a full-fledged team!
The camera lens is frequently aimed at Leonwell, the greatest midfielder in Argentina after Redondo, calmly directing the team's offense and defense.
In the frontcourt, after running away, Messi also got rid of the tension before the game.
Leon intends to exercise Messi's big scene ability in this game, so after stabilizing the situation, he also started to feed Messi frequently.
