Chapter 112 Body Hair Offside
After the opening test, the Argentina team launched a more fierce offensive, among which captain Aguero's performance was more prominent. He had a strong desire to shoot, either forward to respond, dribble through the ball, or burst into shots;
The Chinese captain Shi Yiming, who was full-time guard, struggled to withstand the opponent. He felt as if he had resisted for more than half an hour just after 10 minutes of the game, which was very difficult;
The strength of the genius Aguero is obvious to all. When Lu Juren formulated a response strategy before the game, he arranged for two right-wing players Shi Yiming and Long Tian to adjust to the left to jointly restrain him. At present, Shi Yiming will definitely feel difficult to face Aguero alone;
Long Tian’s mission to the left was to assist the captain Shi Yiming to strengthen the defense of the ribs, but Sarat, who retreated, seemed more threatening than when playing against the forward. Gradually, Long Tian could only focus on his clones and deal with Sarat’s invasion like a ghost, which was also not easy;
Although Piatti on the left had a chance to get the ball compared to Aguero on the right, his erratic running position also made Song Min, who was tall and powerful;
Right back Gan Ren can only stop the Chinese defense. Morales, with a broad vision, will naturally not let go of Gan Ren's outside space and continue to pass the ball to this side. Left forward Sigary has already got three chances.
Although the Chinese team has made enough effort to study opponents and has made targeted adjustments, strong teams are strong teams, and they will not shrink back just because their opponents have mastered their characteristics;
Their strong strength has created their confidence and flexibility. The Argentine team's three passes and two in the frontcourt made it easy to pass the Chinese team's hinterland, which made the entire defense line very difficult for the Chinese team.
After experiencing the restraint and discomfort at the beginning of the game, the Chinese team's defense line struggled to withstand the opponent's strong offensive. The overall formation quickly responded to the pre-match deployment. The Argentine team was somewhat affected and changed its offensive.
Zhang Chang was entangled with Sanchez. Sanchez pulled back and was about to pass the ball to Sarat on the front right. Zhang Chang knocked him down with a bear hug. Sanchez, who was violated, sat on the ground and shouted, obviously very dissatisfied with the opponent's foul;
The referee from Spain took into account the weak team of the Chinese team and showed obvious mercy. He just called Zhang Chang aside and issued a stern warning. This indulgence act naturally attracted a burst of booing from the Argentine fan squad;
Tang Long and Yang Zijiang jointly robbed Morales. Argentina No. 17 skillfully avoided Yang Zijiang's shovel, but in the end it was still unable to avoid Tang Long's deliberate push. The little giant with no center of gravity fell heavily to the ground, but the referee still did not express any words;
Sarat firmly inserted into the ribs, Aguero rushed to the front of Sarat before Shi Yiming destroyed the ball. Long Tian, who had been following him, saw that he was about to enter the penalty area and inserted his opponent's forward route without hesitation. Sarat, who could not stop the car, knocked away Long Tian, who forcibly entered, and he was also knocked to the ground;
This was an obvious blocking action. The referee may have been moved by Long Tian's perseverance and kicked the ball back to goalkeeper Zhao Yue, who was knocked to the ground and rolled and crawled, and he didn't even have a warning;
Sarat was very dissatisfied with the referee's punishment, so he jumped up from the ground and asked him for advice. The slang of Haedo, a suburb of Buenos Aires, blurted out. The most fatal thing was that his hands were accompanied by unclean movements. The authoritative referee, who was challenged, directly blocked with a yellow card;
Liu Li, who was tenacious and tough, was warned by the referee when he just knocked down Sanchez, and then knocked Sarat over without hesitation. This time, he was finally "careful" by the referee. The Chinese team's foul action to deal with the powerful Argentina offensive finally came to an end. From this, the Chinese team's idea can be clearly seen.
Both sides of the court are concerned with a certain momentum. Because of their own strength, strong teams are prone to form a strong aura at their own pace, thus forming an advantage over weak teams;
If a weak team wants not to be swallowed by the strong side, they must show their momentum in other ways and warn the other party not to think that they are soft persimmons. In this regard, it is obvious that some tough foul actions are the most effective actions.
In the past, the Chinese teams also performed toughly, but their toughness seemed not smart enough. As soon as they came on the court, they acted like they were desperately dead, leaving a bad impression of "Chinese butcher" on foreigners and inadvertently became the target of gangsters attacked by the referees;
Take Zhu Jiajun, who is currently fighting in the Asian Cup for example, he has brought this ills of Chinese football to the extreme and ridiculously proposed "mad dogism". Every time he makes a move, he goes to the opponent's ankles, crotch and other key parts, which is a big deal to make a profit, and two lose money. Not only does European and American referees don't like this group of Chinese martial arts masters, but even Asian referees have listed China as the blacklist's focus before the Asian Cup starts.
The Chinese team under Lu Juren pays great attention to the use of momentum. In his philosophy, fouls are only a necessary deterrent means, not the only tactic;
As for how to cleverly use foul tactics to intimidate the opponent while not hurting itself too much, the team has also specially studied and learned some typical foul tactics in South American leagues, and has also deliberately practiced them in training. Over time, this Chinese team appears smart and cunning;
Since the Asian Youth Championship, although there have been cases where the captain and core have been lost before the competition, the team's overall tactical intentions have not been affected. It is obvious that the opponent who has been hit will inevitably feel like he is stuck in his throat when facing such a Chinese team;
The Chinese team was able to enter the knockout stage of the World Youth Championship with great contribution to this effort. Facing the two games between the Czech Republic and Japan, the essence of this interference tactic was brought to the extreme, further promoting the arrival of victory.
In this game, the Chinese team's specific tactical arrangement is to launch a fierce battle in the middle and backcourt;
Especially in areas outside the penalty area, you should boldly release shovels, and pay attention to the foul area, time and the target of infringement should be flexibly converted, and do not focus on foul for a long time intensively;
It is necessary to rotate with the defensive counterattack opportunity. In addition, small movements should be more precise than too many, so as to achieve the purpose of disturbance. It should not be used frequently to avoid attracting the attention of the referee.
Many Argentine players have been playing wild football since childhood. They are best at playing football using small moves to influence their opponents. The famous Hand of God of Argentine King Maradona was the pinnacle of his work. Now facing such an Asian team, they actually have the illusion of playing difficult opponents from the same continent like Peru or Colombia;
The impact of the Chinese team's rough play on the Argentine team is mainly reflected in limiting their continuous and smooth offensive rhythm while also affecting their psychology. As we all know, the straightforward Argentine players are very emotional, they are superb when they are in high spirits, and they are worthless in a moment when they are in low spirits;
More importantly, the law enforcement standards of the Spanish referee in this game are very loose, and the Chinese team's several malicious fouls were all ignored, which is obviously not conducive to the Argentine team, which pays attention to delicate transmission.
After a brief panic, the team quickly implemented the tactical deployment. Judging from the scene, the effect was relatively ideal. Lu Juren glanced at the situation on the field with satisfaction and recorded it in his notebook.
In the Argentina coach's seat not far away, Tokari's expression was a little strange. He had heard about the news that the Spanish Football Association was going to die in Argentina, but he did not take it seriously;
He thought that it was impossible to achieve the blocking task with the Chinese team's strength. Espanyol was purely delusional. Judging from the opening few penalty, it was indeed a bad person, which reminded him that this game was never simple. He was used to big scenes and began to think carefully about countermeasures.
Morales retreated and got the ball. He was pressed by Lu Yunkai. Before he could observe the situation on the field, Lu Yunkai forced him up with a fierce shovel. Morales didn't have time to think about it carefully, and pushed the ball to Sigari on the outside with his left foot;
After passing the ball, Morales went straight forward, and Tang Long beside him kept following him reluctantly. Sigary took a quick look at the space in front of Morales, and accurately pushed the ball and passed it to a comfortable receiving position in front of him;
Morales stretched out his left foot and pushed the ball to the left with the outside, which attracted Tang Long to pounce on the ball and headed towards the position. Morales quickly walked around the ball and pulled it back, and a beautiful oxtail shook away Tang Long's press;
Without a trace of hesitation, Morales looked at Aguero on the right, but used his right foot to push a overhead ball, facing behind the tall Song Min. Piatti understood Morales' passing habits. After seeing that he broke through the Chinese team No. 21, he quickly accelerated and stepped forward;
His running awareness is indeed quite strong. The moment Morales made a kick, he happened to be on par with Song Min, the last defender of the Chinese team. So when he received the ball from behind the entire Chinese team's defense line, the Chinese team's defender raised his hands uniformly and signaled to the referee that the ball was offside first.
Piatti didn't hear the whistle, so he would definitely not stop. Looking at Zhao Yue who was attacking, he judged the shooting angle and rubbed a beautiful arc toward the corner of the goal with the inside of his left foot. The ball bypassed Zhao Yue's palm and turned into the empty goal. The stadium suddenly remembered the shouts of tsunami, for this beautiful goal.
Piatti started to rush to the corner kick area to celebrate, surprised that he did not hear the whistle confirming the goal. He slowed down and looked back at the referee. He saw the sideline at the far sideline raised the flag to signal offside. He was so happy that he could only shook his hand helplessly;
With outstanding position selection and tacit running, Piatti felt that the ball was not offside, because when the ball was passed, he was only tied for the Chinese team No. 3, and even slightly in front of him. However, he was not very sure of it after all, and could only recognize the referee's penalty, and smiled helplessly and applauded Morales.
The reaction on the scene was not strong around this offside goal. After all, the referee had the final say on the court. Since an irreversible penalty had been made, even the audience who noticed it could only accept it;
However, on the TV screen, with the help of advanced broadcasting technology, slow motion shots played repeatedly from multiple angles at the first time, allowing the TV audience to clearly see whether the penalty was correct or not. Various reactions were very lively, fully reflecting their distinctive positions.
China is very grateful for the emotions. Even though they have escaped the disaster, even if they clearly realize that this is a misjudgment, the patriotic commentator can only make excuses for the awkward scene by teasing the referee;
Argentina was like a blowout, and the voice of "Spain made the ball" was shouted out unscrupulously by the host, and the indignation of domestic fans was also well mobilized;
If this game was played in Argentina, the law enforcement referees of this game might have been defeated by radical fans, and the madness of Argentine fans is also quite famous around the world;
The domestic broadcast host in Spain is quite interesting: "This is a beautiful anti-offside goal. Piatti's running position of No. 19 cooperates well with Morales' passing of No. 17. Oh, it's offside, is that right? Come, let's take a look at the slow motion replay. The moment the ball was passed, Piatti happened to be on the Chinese team's No. 3, and his body did not cross. Look carefully, it seems that Piatti has several hairs that surpassed China's No. 3. Oh my God, Malenko (the referee on duty) saw it too accurately. The body hair is offside, it's really sharp!"
This host of Spanish National Television 2, this classic quote about "body hair offside" quickly became widely circulated on Twitter, and his fame is also increasing.
VAR (video assistant referee) that appears several years later will be able to perfectly solve this problem, but now, Piattis and others can only blame themselves for being born early.
