Chapter 749： Farewell, Maradona!

The development of things seems to be moving towards Su Dong's expectations.

After Argentina narrowly defeated Nigeria in the first game, it blew South Korea four to one in the second game.

The teenager Higuain from Real Madrid performed a hat trick, Messi created an own goal, and Argentina performed very well.

By the third game, although Argentina had only beaten Greece 2-0, the field advantage became more obvious. Whether it was the number of shots or the ball possession, the Pampas Eagles had an overwhelming advantage.

After all, Rehagel's Greece failed to stage the miracle of the 2004 European Cup again.

Under the coaching of Maradona, Argentina has three wins in the group stage, and the performance is better than one. This also makes the outside world quite optimistic about this Argentina, after all, it has the most luxurious attacking lineup in this World Cup.

Wenger even believes in the column that Argentina and Germany are the teams that have the best chance to challenge Spain.

But when in-depth analysis, Wenger believes that the biggest problem for Argentina is that the lineup is too loose and lacks integrity.

"The three-game winning streak is a very positive signal for Argentina. Maradona should take this opportunity to integrate the team and let all the players play more integrally instead of often appearing in the game. The players are different. The scene of the battle."

Wenger believes that this has something to do with Maradona's character.

Rebelliousness has always been the label of Argentines, such as that long flowing hair back then.

But today's football pays more attention to the integrity, even if it is as strong as Maradona, in the current football environment, he certainly can't be as arrogant as before.

"Today's Argentina is like Maradona's playing style. On the offensive end, this is manifested as a lack of teamwork and the players are fighting independently. On the defensive end, this is the biggest hidden danger for Argentina so far."

Wenger made no secret that if Argentina can solve the defensive problem, I believe this team can go further in the World Cup.

…

Su Dong followed the three group matches in Argentina. After playing in Greece, Su Dong made a phone call with Messi. When analyzing the group matches, he focused on his experience while watching the game.

He believes that in addition to the defensive problem, Argentina has a very serious problem that has also been exposed.

"Core!" Su Dong said on the phone.

The two games against Nigeria and Greece were played by Veron. In these two games, Argentina played quite awkwardly. The reason is that the 35-year-old Veron no longer has the ability to play the entire game. Physical fitness.

Although Veron took a break for the South Korean team in the middle, in the third game against Greece, Veron was already overwhelmed in the second half, basically just jogging and walking. It was obvious that the White Wizard was tired enough.

But Su Dong's point of view is not only that, but also that Veron's style is difficult to be compatible with Messi in the frontcourt.

Veron has very rich experience, strong overall view, excellent rhythm control, but his passes are mostly long-distance long passes, and his playing style belongs to the style of opening and closing, which was Ferguson back then. I can see it very clearly, I think Veron is very suitable for Manchester United.

But the current Argentine body has no advantage at all. Messi, Tevez, Di Maria and others, even Higuain, do not take much advantage of their bodies when they encounter strong opponents. Messi is even more so. Mainly with short pass.

This has formed an inconsistency in thinking.

Then came a new question. Veron was very old, but now the Argentine trump card is Messi, so who should the players listen to?

Su Dong believes that if Argentina wants to go further and Messi wants to make achievements, he should think about it.

Messi was also frank on the phone. In the three group matches, he was actually uncomfortable and hard-working, but he couldn't produce results.

…

The discussion about whether Veron was in the midst of the group stage was also uproarious.

The most surprising thing about this World Cup group stage is the elimination of France and Italy.

France, Uruguay, Mexico, and South Africa were assigned to a group. They only scored one point in three games, and the group was eliminated from the bottom. This is really surprising.

But France is relatively forgivable.

The situation of defending World Cup champion Italy is absolutely shocking.

Italy, Paraguay, Slovakia and New Zealand are assigned to the same group. It stands to reason that with Italy's strength, it is not difficult to advance to the group, right?

But the result?

Italy drew two games, the group scored the bottom out, and even not as good as New Zealand, it almost broke everyone's glasses.

In the first game, the Swiss led by the iron marshal Heathfield caused an accident and upset Spain by a score of zero.

But then, Spain quickly adjusted, defeated Honduras and Chile consecutively, and successfully advanced.

Bosque’s team is more inclined to control the ball than Aragones two years ago. This concept goes further and resolutely established a concept with Harvey, Iniesta and Busquets as the core.

Among them, Bosque rejected the consensus, recruited Manchester City's midfielder Busquets into the national team and entrusted him with important tasks. He was under considerable pressure from public opinion, but in this national team, Busquets performed very well.

Su Dong also took time to watch a Portuguese game and beat North Korea 7-0, but Ronnie only scored one goal in this game, and he still had a dispensable goal in the final stage. He was very dissatisfied.

…

In late June, the World Cup entered the knockout stage, and the game became more and more intense.

Su Dong watched three knockout games, namely Germany beat England four to one, Argentina beat Mexico three to one, and Spain beat Portugal one to zero.

After the game, Su Dong also specifically met with Ronnie and Pepe.

The most depressing part of this World Cup is Pepe. He failed to play in the first two games of the group stage. In the third game against Brazil, he did, but he played in a midfielder position he was not familiar with.

In the knockout game against Spain, Pepe again, the result is still playing midfielder.

Unlucky Pepe, his World Cup journey is over before he can fully display his strength.

"It's okay, at least you have played in the World Cup, unlike me..."

Su Dong's words really comforted Pepe.

Who said no?

The number one player in world football, but he couldn't even play in the World Cup. What's the matter?

Just as the Argentine star Kempes said in the column before, for this World Cup, he and fans all over the world have a kind of regret, because he failed to see the style of the world’s first football player Su Dong. It is the regret of the World Cup and the loss of all fans.

Kempes also said that Su Dong is one of his favorite players. He thinks that both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo should learn from Su Dong because he did not show up after winning the Ballon d'Or and the World Player of Football. Obvious landslide.

"Before Su Dong, every Golden Globe Award and World Footballer after winning the prize, there will be more or less declines, but Su Dong did not, on the contrary, his performance has been on the rise. This It is very, very rare."

Wang Chuqing has been silently accompanying Su Dong, watching the World Cup in South Africa.

Although Su Dong said nothing, she knew that Su Dong was participating in the World Cup in this way.

He still desires to be able to participate in the World Cup in his bones, but is hidden by him.

...

...

The biggest surprise in the quarterfinals was that the German team defeated Argentina 4-0.

Only three minutes into the game, Thomas Muller's goal put Argentina into absolute passiveness.

At this time, the problems of Argentina gradually emerged.

The lack of a real core on the court, the players fighting on their own, lack of integrity, leading to Argentina being suppressed by the German as a whole on the court, the players are also cut apart, resulting in the inability to form a joint force.

Especially in the second half, Argentina played more and more urgently, and finally the German team scored the goal again and again.

In the end, the German team defeated Argentina four to zero.

This is a massacre that shocked fans all over the world.

So far in this World Cup, the best-performing team is Argentina, with four consecutive victories and many goals. As a result, it encountered a German chariot in the quarterfinals and was beaten by a four-to-zero opponent. It was really disappointing. eye.

But in turn, this also represents a football trend.

In this World Cup, the German team played a way of passing and controlling the ball, which was completely different from the previous German team.

Especially Schweinsteiger, who has become the core of the German team's midfield, is the best performing player.

Integrity, coupled with advanced technical and tactical concepts, Loew finally led the German team to the most realistic level.

A four-to-zero victory over Argentina is the most heartily complete victory in this World Cup so far.

The German media also adopted eye-catching headlines. Goodbye, Maradona! , To express the affirmation of this tactical philosophy in Germany, thinking that Maradona's coaching philosophy in Argentina can no longer keep up with this era.

However, after passing through Argentina, the German team encountered Spain, which has stronger ball control and overall combat skills.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle between the two sides, Spain relied on Puyol's goal to win a one-to-zero victory over Germany and successfully advanced to the final.

This is also the most questionable part of Bosque and his Spain.

When it comes to possession of the ball, Spain is absolutely top-notch, and when it comes to the lineup, this team also does not attack any opponent.

But Bosque’s use of troops is too stable, so that almost every game only wins the opponent by one goal. uukanshu. com relies on constantly passing the ball to exhaust the opponent, which is a bit like the passing version of Capello.

Su Dong also felt that Spain did not play unrestrainedly enough, but it is actually understandable.

After Aragones led Spain to win the European Cup two years ago, that team has reached its peak. Anyone who takes over under this situation will encounter a very difficult problem, and that is how to continue to lead this team. The team maintains this state and continues to achieve results.

It is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to guard the country!

Bosque has done a very, very good job in this regard.

In the end, in the World Cup finals, Spain and the Netherlands became zero-to-zero in regular time, and Iniesta's stoppage time lore helped Spain win the World Cup.

This is undoubtedly the best recognition of Bosque!

Su Dong also returned to Europe the day after this final.

But this time, instead of flying to Germany, he went to London.
