Chapter 314
It can't be said that this final can't be played.
Di Maria suffered a tear in his right leg muscle in Argentina's quarter-final match against Belgium and left the court with serious injuries.
The Angels didn't even play the semifinals.
The absence of the Angels is probably one of the reasons for Argentina's attacking constipation against the Netherlands in the semifinals.
Although Argentina has always claimed that they are doing their best to heal, hoping that Di Maria can make it to the World Cup final.
Even what stem cell therapies they employed.
However, the current starting line-up shows that Di Maria will definitely not be able to catch up.
Such an important player, now that he can't play in the final, can it be said that Argentina is not unlucky?
In his place was Ravitch, who currently plays for Grand Paris.
Clearly, Argentina coach Savilla is hoping that Ravic can replace Di Maria and push on the wing and create space in the middle.
However, whether Ravic can do it well is a big unknown.
After all, in the previous semifinals, Ravitch did not perform too prominently.
Argentina's forward trio, apart from Messi and Lavic, is the little smoking gun Higuain.
Higuain is clearly at the peak of his career, and although he has not played well in the national team, he cannot deny his strength.
In midfield, Savilla chose to use Biglia as the playmaking core, alongside his partners Mascherano and Nzo Perez, who is good in attack and defense.
This is the midfield configuration that many teams envy, and Liverpool once won the Champions League with such a perfect midfield partner.
An organization, a defense, an all-rounder.
There's plenty of energy both offensively and defensively.
But Argentina is clearly more like a low-profile version of champions Liverpool.
Mascherano has not changed, Biglia is more than a step weaker than Alonso, and Nzo Perez is not comparable to Gerrard.
It has to be said that Argentina often has a luxurious front line, and the rest of the positions can really only be said to be barely available.
At the back, in addition to Zabaleta and Demichelis, there are starting centre-back Garay and right-back Rojo.
Xu Ning looked over, it was all a colander!
Although Demichelis has a good relationship with him, he has always used a colander to tease his teammates.
As for Gary and Rojo, there is nothing to say, and they have never been stable.
If Argentina had a choice, it probably wouldn't have let them play.
But no way, who left Argentina unusable.
This is somewhat similar in Portugal, which is somewhat top-heavy.
But on the other hand, Portugal gave the opponent maximum pressure up front, and the pressure on the back line was relieved a lot.
With Pepe sitting in town, as long as Pepe does not go up, the defense is actually very solid.
And Xu Ning knew that as long as he waited a few more years, Ruben Dias would kick out, and then he would not worry about no one in the defense.
......
The referee led the two teams of players into the stadium from the players' tunnel, and the stands were instantly like thunder, which was extremely sensational.
The pre-match process is essential, and there's not much to say.
It is also a tradition for Ronaldo to lose and guess the side, so Xu Ning habitually enters the middle circle to wait for the kickoff.
However, what he didn't expect was that Ronaldo actually won Messi, which simply made Xu Ning doubt life.
This rhythm is not right!
was thrown out of the middle circle by Messi, Xu Ning couldn't help but mutter.
Ronaldo smiled proudly at Xu Ning, and the meaning expressed in his eyes was too obvious.
When the players of the two teams took their seats, to the cheers of countless fans, the referee blew the whistle for the start of this World Cup final.
Messi gave the ball to Higuain, who passed the ball behind him and Argentina opened up to attack Portugal.
Xu Ning and Ronaldo also rushed forward at the first time, ready to directly implement the high position pressing.
But the Argentine was clearly prepared and well prepared for the opening attack.
Although Biglia is actually the core of Argentina's organization, because he has played at Barca for so many years, Mascherano's organizational skills have long been developed.
Seeing the timing, he directly hit the front court with a long pass.
Higuain has rushed to the top of the Portuguese penalty area and has embarked on a physical confrontation against his teammate Pepe without being daunted.
Because he was all too familiar, it was clear that Higuain knew what Pepe would do against him.
Pepe was squeezed a little uncomfortably, and wanted to go around, but was blocked several times.
In the face of the long pass, the two jumped high at the same time, and did not forget to pull each other and cause trouble for each other in the process.
Higuain touched the ball and swung his header straight to the right.
The ball headed towards the Portuguese defence on the right.
Ravitch was so explosive that he actually threw off Andreas Pereira to get the ball first.
And he calmly pulled the ball to avoid Pereira's tackle from diagonal rear.
Ravitch is full of conviction, vowing that he must be more important than Di Maria against Argentina in this match.
After dodging Pereira's tackle, Ravic began to cut inside towards the Portuguese penalty area with incredible speed.
Carvalho, who started the game, stepped up, and with Moutinho, who was retreating to defend, the two caught Ravic.
But at this time, Ravitch chose to pass the ball and directly crossed the ball to the top of the penalty area.
Messi didn't know when he threw off his eyes on the right and moved to the centre.
Without stopping, the ball went straight to the side of the blocked Merelles and slid towards the Portuguese goal.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, no one expected Argentina's first attack to be so sharp and directly threaten the Portuguese goal.
In the critical moment, Portugal goalkeeper Patricio made a contribution.
Flying fish leap, like Spider-Man at the goal line to keep the goal intact.
When the ball was about to fly into the goal, the ball was blocked.
Messi held his head in disbelief, regretting that he did not score this must-score.
Pepe quickly freed the ball and several Portuguese defenders gave Patricio a thumbs up.
Pounce beautifully!
If it weren't for his super-god play, Portugal, which had a slow start and had not yet entered the form, would have fallen behind.
Although Portugal is not incapable of playing against the wind, once the score is behind, the opponent may start to swing the bus, which is very annoying.
Don't say that Argentina can't put a bus, if it's all focused on defense, Argentina's bus is stronger than anyone.
It is always best to take the initiative into your own hands.
The Argentine fans in the stands were also so sorry that everyone held their heads and did not believe the scene in front of them.
However, this shot gave them unlimited hope.
Almost scored!
That means Portugal is just that!
As long as Argentina exerts its full strength, it can completely compete with Portugal.
