Chapter 118 Golden Substitute

In the first half, 35', Argentina made a formal adjustment, replacing No. 18 Di Maria with No. 14 left forward Sigary, which was a counter-substitution.

Unlike ordinary small Argentine players, Di Maria is 1.83 meters tall and weighs 68kg, he looks very thin. His technical characteristics are his speed, sharp breakthroughs on the wing, and his shooting skills are no worse than those of little giants such as Aguero, Sarat and Morales;

Due to the team's technical and tactical arrangements, Tokari has always used him as a surprise player, and Di Maria is indeed successful. She has performed well every time she faces danger, establishing her indispensable "golden substitute" position in the team, just like the "baby-faced" Solskjaer in Manchester United.

The powerful Argentinian has formed on the right side, with a heavy artillery combination of Aguero and Sarat. At this time, Di Maria, who was between the wing forward and the winger, echoing Piatti in the middle, was very obvious. Tokari's tactical intentions were very obvious, and the Argentinian who suddenly accelerated showed his sharp white teeth.

Lu Juren, who had conducted some research on Argentina before the game, saw Di Maria's back number at this moment, and looked at the position he was heading after he came on the court. He understood that the opponent was ready to speed up and throw himself away. He walked to the sidelines decisively and shouted to Lu Yunkai nearest: "Strengthen the defense on the wing!"

Lu Yunkai, who received the instructions, quickly conveyed the head coach's meaning to his teammates on the court, especially several wing players on his side;

Lu Yunkai took the initiative to lean towards the newly-playing Di Maria, while Tang Long followed Morales, who was pressing forward. Gan Ren closely watched the running position of the Argentine players on this side. Seeing the players' ready-to-go, Lu Juren felt a little relieved and watched coldly watch the opponent's next move.

After Di Maria came on the court, she clearly felt that the pace of Argentina was accelerating. Morales passed the ball to the left more frequently. The Chinese team's slightly under pressure suddenly increased the defensive pressure on the right side. The right forward Lu Yunkai, and right midfielder Tang Long and right defender Gan Ren began to feel the pressure on the other side.

Di Maria's thin body is at a disadvantage compared to the three players on the right of the Chinese team, but the three of them have no chance of physical contact at all. Di Maria is very fast, has amazing explosive power, has excellent body flexibility, and is flexible in strain. She breaks through the ball like a loach in the water and is slippery and can't be lost;

Tang Long, who is 1.87 meters tall and weighs 79kg, wants to use his body to oppress the opponent, but it is only a chance to meet him. Di Maria swung to the left and then pulled the ball backwards and received the ball on the inside to accelerate, quickly throwing Tang Long behind him who was unable to respond;

Watching him pass by Yunkai and Tang Long, Gan Ren tightened every nerve and stared at the ball under his feet. Di Maria did not waste time on fancy extraordinary skills. She paused her right foot, pushed the ball outside the left foot and accelerated, and rushed forward from the outside with all her strength;

Gan Ren instinctively reached out to block it, but could only pull his clothes. Di Maria was very familiar with this interception routine. Her body suddenly accelerated, and her right hand swung backward, breaking away from Gan Ren's entanglement;

Di Maria has strong physical control ability, dribbling, accelerating, cutting inward to aim at the goal. The whole process was well connected, without any extra movements. The half-door on the right of the Chinese team was quickly exposed to his muzzle. Watching him raise his foot and shoot, Song Min, who was restoring the defense in the middle, flew over and blocked it;

Di Maria's right foot turned into a twist, and the ball jumped behind Song Min quickly. Zhao Yue expected that he would use this trick to splash the ball, and the save movement was reserved. As soon as he found out that he splashed the ball, his body immediately closed in the middle, but his next abnormal action made Zhao Yue unexpected:

After the spike, Di Maria did not wait for the ball to stop and did not wait for the ball to pass or shoot on her right heel. Instead, she used a move similar to a scissors-footed flower, and suddenly kicked the goal!

The movements were too weird. Zhao Yue, who was doing his experience, was powerless to do anything to his shot that he didn't play according to common sense, and could only watch the ball fly towards the goal. Fortunately, Di Maria, who had just started the field, was in an excited state. The intention of showing off her footwork and imagination was obvious. The ball was not enough to be in short supply, and she directly deviated from the range of the door frame.

The Chinese team players were shocked and sweated. Di Maria shrugged at her teammates, with a regretful expression on her face, and she felt a little complacent. This extremely ornamental fancy style of playing is naturally very popular with the audience. The audience applauded and cheered for the bold performance of "angels".

The game continued, and the Argentinian's strong passing organization also continued.

Sanchez received the ball from Insua on the right, and passed Liu Li with the opportunity, and pushed the ball to Morales in the middle before he released the tackle;

Morales, who had been guarded by Tang Long and Lu Yunkai, barely received the ball. He could not turn around and observe the situation ahead, and it was difficult to unfold the tissue. However, the little giant was like a little eye on the back of his head. After using his skillful foot technique to control the ball, he plucked the ball to the right side on the inside of his left foot, causing Tang Long on the left to use his foot to block it;

The right heel suddenly hit the ball behind him. Since the right forward Lu Yun opened, he was attracted to the middle by Morales. At this moment, the Chinese team's right side was very empty. The new left forward Di Maria accelerated forward tacitly. The Chinese team's overall defense line, which had been tightly matched, opened a gap on the right side;

While accelerating forward, Di Maria looked at the movement of the ball, but ignored the situation ahead. In his opinion, Morales's imagination-rich pass was not a world-class Asian second-rate team like the Chinese team that could resist, but she never thought that a white figure suddenly appeared from the slant and intercepted the ball. Di Maria was stunned and only saw his back number "13".

Since Di Maria came on the court, Gan Ren quickly discovered that the sharp breakthrough of No. 18 on the wing would definitely become a fire point set by the opponent on this side. He secretly followed the thin man who faced him;

When Tang Long and Lu Yunkai were attracted to the middle lane, the right lane was empty, and the unguarded Di Maria began to get ready. Gan Ren realized that this was a good external contact point, so he ran forward boldly;

When the ball was indeed passed in the direction of Di Maria, Gan Ren was overjoyed and completely accelerated. He inserted a beautiful ball from the middle to cut it off. A very high-quality steal won the Chinese team the warmest applause since the opening.

After intercepting the ball, Gan Ren did not stay, but accelerated and dribbled forward. Since the Argentina team was in an offensive state at this moment, all the players in the midfield were concentrated in the Chinese team's half area, and the backcourt was very empty. The Chinese team, who was in a retreat, did not set up troops in the frontcourt. In this case, personal high-speed dribbling is undoubtedly the wisest choice;

While running wildly with the ball, Gan Ren looked up and observed the situation in the frontcourt. The gratifying situation in the open space ahead made him use a large step-by-step approach to advance quickly;

This kind of wade is only used when no one is ahead. Due to the pure speed of fighting, it lacks aesthetics and has some amateur taste. It is the best embodiment of the positioning of Chinese players as "track and field athletes" in European and American football. However, at this moment, it is the most eye-catching way to break through.

Gan Ren's absolute speed of 11 seconds in 100 meters was not slow. At this moment, he used a big step to pass the Argentine midfielder and was first intercepted by left-back Mercado;

Gan Ren pushed the ball from his right foot and was about to accelerate from the outside, which attracted Mercado to step forward and block it. After the left foot stepped forward and pulled the ball to the inside, he paused out with the trend, and made a move on his right heel to lead the ball to break through from the inside, which once again caused Mercado to change forward and block it;

His center of gravity moved and hit Gan Ren's mind. He suddenly cut into the left side of the ball with his right foot, and suddenly pushed the ball to the front right, completely speeding up, dribbling the ball from the outside and moving away. Mercado, who did not change the rhythm of Gan Ren, had no choice but to follow the Chinese team No. 13.

After breaking through Mercado's blockade, Gan Ren began to cut inward to the goal with a diagonal line. Fazio, who blocked the block, Gan Ren pushed the ball from his right foot and accelerated to the inside. Fazio rushed forward with a quicker step.

Seeing him pushing up, Gan Ren paused cleverly, pulled the ball to Fazio's side with his left foot, pulled out the pass, and glanced at the situation in the middle, and flipped the sideways on his right heel, and the ball was picked toward the center. Banerga and Ma Kang were entangled in the middle, and Zhang Chang was inserted in the back row without any guard. He shot sideways and shot in the air in the face of the incoming ball!

Zhang Chang's shot was handled well, and the ball was hit hard and the flight trajectory was very strong. He rushed straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Facing the beautiful shot of the Chinese team No. 7, Argentine goalkeeper Romero instinctively made a side swing, but it was beyond the reach, and he watched the ball pass over him in despair;

With a "tied" sound, the ball hit the crossbar firmly. The Chinese players who were full of anticipation shouted a pity. The Argentine, who was very palpitations, was glad that she escaped. The Chinese fans who had been so nervous that they didn't dare to show up in the audience were upset and finally shouted out loudly, venting their inner aggrievances.

The ball hitting the crossbar bounced back into the field and was received by Argentine right-back Insuya. Without a moment of hesitation, he drove the ball to the front court with a big foot;

It is the time when the Chinese team is fighting back with all their might. The overall front-pressing formation is inevitably empty in the backcourt. The Chinese midfielder, which has been shrinking in the backcourt to defend, has been pulled over the midfield line, and the two midfielders have also reached the area near the midfield;

Among the four defenders, right back Gan Ren assisted until the frontcourt but had not returned yet. left back Long Tian also stepped forward to the position parallel to the midfielder position, and only two central defenders dragged in the end. The degree of emptiness was even more serious than when Argentina was hit by a counterattack.

Morales in the midfield received the ball from behind and saw the excellent space on the right side of the Chinese team. He made a powerful long pass to hang the ball into this area;

Di Maria on the left quickly accelerated and ran forward when she witnessed the ball rebounding from the post. At this moment, she had already run to the position of the midfield and the Chinese team's midfielder. When Morales passed the ball, Di Maria quickly threw away Tang Long, who was caught off guard, and accelerated to chase the ball down point;

The ball landing point is very well controlled, just 10 meters outside the penalty area on the right side of the Chinese team. The distance to Song Min, the closest player of the Chinese team, is basically at an equal distance from Di Maria. Given Di Maria's speed advantage and the accelerated forward stance, it basically ensured that the ball fell into the control of Argentina.

Di Maria, who was chasing the ball at full speed, easily got the ball. Facing Song Min who was chasing her desperately, she pushed the ball with her left foot and accelerated to cut into the penalty area, completely leaving Song Min behind;

Zhao Yue, who had just run out of the small penalty area, realized that he would definitely not be able to touch the ball, so he could only stop and block the opponent's possible shooting angle;

But facing the angle exposed by the huge space behind him, it is difficult to block a pair of Tathagata's magic palms;

After entering the penalty area, Di Maria has been observing Zhao Yue's position. When he saw him attacking, the goal behind him was empty;

Without a moment of hesitation, the angel's left foot pulled towards the ball vigorously and scraped to the left slightly. The ball drew a straight and slightly outward arc in the air, and accurately and forcefully penetrated into the empty door behind Zhao Yue.

At 38' in the first half, with a sharp goal during the No. 18 Di Maria counterattack, Argentina finally broke the deadlock on the court and led the Chinese team 1:0.

"Angel" Di Maria once again played the role of a golden substitute. She made a contribution in just three minutes on the court. She was excited and superimposed on her teammates' thumbs and index fingers to make a heart-shaped sign. After doing it, she kept sending kisses to the audience;

Tokari bounced from her seat with excitement, rushed to the sidelines and clenched her fists excitedly at the players. The expected goal finally came, as if a lot of thoughts had finally come to an end. The excitement of the Argentine coach was beyond words;

Argentine fans were also very happy. They thought it was a goal-scoring battle, but they did not expect to encounter such tenacious resistance from their opponents. Now the massacre has finally kicked off. These South Americans became crazy like bloodthirsty sharks smelled blood.

The crowd of teammates hugged gradually dissipated, and Di Maria happily raised her hands to show her goodwill. While intoxicating the sense of accomplishment at this moment, Aguero walked over from a distance, smiled faintly, and stretched out his right palm: "Anger, you did a pretty job, congratulations."

Di Maria nodded politely and said, "Thank you. Ah kun, let's see you next!"

Aguero gritted his teeth, smiled disapprovingly, and then squeezed hard on the palms of the two holding each other, and pulled away without saying a word.
