99 African Elephant's Trunk
"Wow! As you can see, there is still a little time before the two teams play. The photographers have already focused their cameras on Maradona and his family who came to the Hamburg World Cup Stadium to support the Argentine team today. Yes! Maradona declared before the start of this World Cup that this Argentine team will definitely be able to defend the title. I don't know if the prediction of the champion will come true?" Argentine digital satellite TV, commentator Varidek said before the start of the game.
"Yes, Maradona is an idol to many of us. Of course, Maradona's idol must be Mr. Kempes." Barty, who just joined Argentine Digital Satellite TV, also said with a smile.
"Oh, Gabriel, you are flattering me too much. Okay, let's tell the audience about the squad for the game. For the Argentine team, except for the fact that Lionel Messi replaced Maxi Other than Rodriguez being a starter, it didn't go beyond everyone's expectations..."

"The reason why Coach Bielsa used the teenager Messi, I think he is also to strengthen the vitality of Argentina's lineup. We all know the characteristics of Maxi, that is, he is very comprehensive, but a player like Messi has more characteristics. Miracles can often be created in this kind of cup. Just like Caniggia back then, and Ortega, the left-wing king of our national team." After Kempes finished the starting list of the Argentine team, Batty Also commented.
"Well, that's true, so let's take a look at today's starting lineup for Côte d'Ivoire..."

Center forward: Didier Drogba (captain)
"From the starting lineup of Côte d'Ivoire, it is not difficult to see that they have many talented players, like Drogba and Toure, they are all from the Premier League giants, especially Drogba, he will be the most threatening arrow in Côte d'Ivoire. Sexual character. His impact will be very strong, and before this World Cup, we have talked about the defense of the Argentine team. In fact, the Argentine team does not have that kind of strong central defender. Ayala and Samuel played today The defense against Drogba will play a decisive role in the outcome of this game." Batty commented again.
"Yes, well, everyone can see that FIFA's fair play song has been played, and players from the two teams have begun to step on the field..."
The World Cup Stadium in Hamburg, today, this stadium that can accommodate more than 40,000 people is divided into two halves, half of which is an orange ocean, because Côte d'Ivoire is wearing an orange jersey today, as a newcomer to the World Cup Under the leadership of Didier Drogba, the African elephant stepped onto the field of the World Cup with high spirits!
The Côte d'Ivoire team in the previous life actually caused great trouble for Argentina and the Netherlands in this group. In the first match against Argentina in the previous life, Côte d'Ivoire even completely overwhelmed Argentina in ball possession and shooting. If it wasn't for Riquelme's crisis Savior, Argentina's World Cup opener is really hard to say.
In the second game against the Dutch team, Côte d'Ivoire was too nervous at the beginning due to lack of experience, otherwise it would be really hard to say who will win. As for Serbia, which has already fought for dignity in the last battle, the African elephant has fully demonstrated its strength and talent.
This is the most threatening team to Argentina and the Netherlands in Group C.
Their lineup has Arsenal's defensive core, Manchester City's first iron waist in the future, Drogba, a center with strong impact like Kone, and a talented winger like Kalou.
If you underestimate an elephant, you will be crushed!
By the way, as I just said before, today the World Cup stadium in Hamburg is divided into two halves, one half is occupied by fans of Côte d'Ivoire, and the other half is occupied by fans of the Argentine team.
That is the uniform of the Argentine team that people are most familiar with. The blue and white Argentine team appeared on the stage under the leadership of their captain, the king of the new world, Leon Weir. The appearance of the defending champion ushered in the fans. One after another exclaimed, how could the inexperienced Ivorian fans be the opponents of the Argentine fans.
You know, the fans of the Argentine team are one of the best fans in the world who are good at creating momentum.
At the World Cup Stadium in Hamburg, the appearance of players from the two teams brought the scene to a brief climax.
After the subsequent singing of the national anthem, the captains of the two teams, Leon Will and Drogba, exchanged team flags. Drogba and Leon are old acquaintances, because Chelsea have met each other in the Champions League for two consecutive years. Inter Milan, so when exchanging team flags, Drogba also smiled at Leon.
"We are a new team, but we will not show mercy to the defending champions."
"hope so!"
In the first round of confrontation, which was a little bit of gunpowder, the African elephant had already revealed its ferocious side, and Leon dealt with it calmly like a Tai Chi expert.
Today's referee is the referee Dulikhov from Uzbekistan in Asia. In Leon's memory, he seems to remember that in 2006 there were also a bunch of cheating and blind referees. ratings are the highest. ?? Soccer King 99
This may have something to do with Asia not being the center of world football. Anyway, today the two teams don't have to worry about questions from the referee.
Uzbekistan's Dulikhov signaled the captains of the two teams to come forward to pick the side. Leon lost the pick, but won the kick-off for the Argentine team.
So, after the players from both sides took their positions, Uzbekistan Dulikhev has already started to look at his wristwatch.
At 9:30 p.m. local time in Germany, this high-profile battle kicked off at the World Cup Stadium in Hamburg, Germany!
Argentina took the lead in the first half, and as Crespo flicked the ball to Tevez, the World Cup stadium in Hamburg...
"Argentina! Argentina! Argentina!!! Argentina!!!!"
"We must win! We must win! Argentina must win!!! Argentina must win!!!!"
The experienced Argentine fans began to shout in unison, and the football king Maradona in the stands even waved the Argentine flag he was holding!
"Dear viewers in front of the TV, welcome to the live commentary of the 2006 World Cup in Germany brought to you by Argentine Digital Satellite TV. Today we are bringing you the match between the Argentine team and Côte d'Ivoire! I am the commentator Wali Dirk, today I, Kempes and Batty will give you live commentary!"
Argentina, Buenos Aires, just like when they won the championship four years ago, countless fans gathered in the center of the Rose Garden, and they will watch the first match of the Argentina World Cup through a huge big screen!
After the opening of the Argentine team, the captain Leonwell made some adjustments and quickly launched an attack. Côte d'Ivoire adopted a Chelsea-style oppressive style of play today, because the Ivorian players are quite physically fit, so they can squander without scruples.
Under Drogba's pressure, Leon calmly knocked the ball in the opposite direction with the heel of his right foot. Your son's wonderful escape also won him rounds of applause from the fans!
Leon dribbled the ball to the middle circle after shaking Drogba, and the Ivorian players stepped back methodically to maintain the distance between the three lines. It can be seen that the French mahout Michel made the Ivorian progress. Small.
You must know that this kind of tight position requires tactical execution. The talents of African teams are unquestionable. However, it is difficult for them to create the semi-finals and finals because of their tactical execution. force.
But today's Côte d'Ivoire feels completely different. They are like an army with good tactics. The first attack of the Argentine team was unsuccessful. However, Toure, who was marking Crespo, suddenly went around and made a steal.
"Exactly as we expected, strength, speed... The talent of this team is unparalleled, and they also have the same tactical quality and execution ability as Nigeria back then. This team is indeed the most terrifying in this group." Leon thought to himself.
Before this game, after watching the video tape of Côte d'Ivoire, the players of the Argentine team did not dare to underestimate the enemy, because Côte d'Ivoire showed the strength of a world-class team in the video tape.
Perhaps there is still a gap between their real strength and the first-class teams, but as long as they can play well, they are absolutely unstoppable elephants.
The defending champion encountered a tenacious block in Hamburg. In the fourth minute of the first half, the African elephant shook his nose for the first time! The winger Kalou who played for Chelsea broke through the defense of Milito on the right and suddenly made a pass from the bottom. Drogba, who followed up in the center, almost opened the scoring for Côte d'Ivoire with a powerful header...
Fortunately, the goalkeeper of the Argentine team, Abbondancelli, was focused and he made a world-class save!
"It's amazing! The Argentine team should still pay attention to the sudden speed increase of Côte d'Ivoire, their speed is really amazing!" said the commentator of the Argentine digital satellite TV station Varidek.
Corner kick, the nose of the African elephant almost failed to knock down the proud Pampas eagle from the sky, but fortunately, after passing the nose in the opening, the Argentine team led by Leon Xia slowly regained the feeling of the defending champion...
