Chapter 556 The World Cup, Here I Come
Argentina participated in the base camp of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and was finally set at the HPC Sports Center of the University of Pretoria!
Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa, and the University of Pretoria is the largest university in South Africa, and the HPC Sports Center is affiliated to this university!
As early as August 2009, the Argentine Football Association official, who is also a famous Argentine football player, came to the HPC Sports Center for an inspection in advance. He was very satisfied with the conditions here. After that, the Argentine team was the first to apply to FIFA to stay here, and finally got the approval of FIFA, and his wish came true!
Among them, there is also an interesting story worth mentioning——
The life-and-death enemy of the Blue and White Legion - the Three Lions England team also took a fancy to the HPC Sports Center, but it is a pity that their investigation here forced the Argentine team to be two weeks late, and finally they can only give up with regret!
Being able to beat England in this aspect is definitely a good sign. While the Argentines are extremely proud, they also look forward to the upcoming World Cup!
As for the University of Pretoria, in order to welcome the arrival of this world-renowned King's Division, the HPC Sports Center has been closed in all directions. The South African government is renovating the place in an all-round way, hoping to bring more convenient services and environment to the Argentine team!
Therefore, at this time, the early warm-up activities of the Argentine team are still carried out in China!
After the 32-man roster was announced, all the selected players came to Buenos Aires to report within two days. The temporary residence chosen by Li Tongfan was a four-star hotel near the River Plate Monument Stadium!
The team's temporary training venue is held in the Monument Stadium, the home of the River Plate team!
……
……
boom! !
A loud bang.
The football pierced through the space like a world-killing lightning and slammed into the goal.
"Well done, nice shot, Rodrigo, very good!!"
The weather in Buenos Aires in the afternoon of May is already a little bit cold. On the lawn of the Monument Stadium, the Argentine team is undergoing the first run-in training after the assembly!Braided forward Palacio blasted a super world wave during shooting training, and the forward coach Bethania standing aside laughed and praised...
Palacio waves to Bethania in thanks!
At the same time, he secretly glanced at the head coach Crazy Li who was standing not far from the sidelines.
He had heard about this young head coach born like a comet countless times before, but he never expected that Crazy Li would become the head coach of the Argentine team one day, and he would be lucky enough to be called into the Argentine national team!
Although this is not the final South Africa 23-man roster, as many as 9 people are likely to fall on the road leading to the South Africa World Cup... However, Palacio is confident to use his own strength to conquer Madman Lee, because he has a unique magic weapon-speed!
Among the current 32 people, his speed is the fastest!
But to Palacio's disappointment, he didn't see any expression on Crazy Li's face just now. His kick was so powerful that he didn't even blink his eyes...
There are many people who share the same thoughts as Palacio. The young player Perotti, who was selected for the national team for the first time, [Joker] Aimar, who had no chance to play except for the warm-up match, [The Beast] Carlos Tevez, who scored a lore in the world wave against Uruguay.
To sweat in the cold air, to make the blood boil...
Their fate is in the hands of that young man standing on the sidelines with a stern face!
……
Li Tongfan has been carefully observing the state of the Argentine stars!
The 32 players who are currently training at the Monument Stadium can be said to be the most prosperous and luxurious lineup in Argentina. Whether it is the actual performance in the just-concluded 09-10 season or the value of the ability list in FM2010, each of them can be called a hero, and they are also the targets of the top clubs in the five major leagues this summer!
Unlike the long club events where everyone can get a chance, once the national team's roster is determined, it means that the players who are not selected will lose their chance forever. For many of them, it may be the last chance to appear in the World Cup in their careers. Therefore, for Lao Li, the decision to clear anyone is a painful and cruel thing!
Lao Li had to find out the state of the Argentine stars after a long season in just a dozen days, and try to use the most scientific and reasonable standards to select the final 23 players!
Lao Li naturally saw Palacio's shot just now!
However, such an accidental shot success rate is nothing, besides, the characteristics of this little braided striker in the FM2010 system [Speed] and [Explosive Power] double 20, do not lie in scoring goals, Lao Li did not count on him to become the team's first scorer...
Li Tongfan spent the whole afternoon in such careful observation!
In the last period of team training, it was still an intra-team confrontation. As the opponents of the adult team, the players of the Argentine U21 youth team played a 45-minute confrontation match. In the end, the adult team beat the juniors 7:1!
Messi and Higuain scored a hat-trick.
Riquelme scored another free kick!
……
5 month 29 day.
The Argentine team played the last warm-up match before heading to South Africa, against the Canadian team!
The game was open to the public, and a large number of media and fans flooded into the Monument Stadium, especially for fans who could not go to South Africa to watch the World Cup on the ground, this will be their last time to watch the Argentine team's warm-up match!
Inside the Monument Stadium, the atmosphere is quite hot!
At three o'clock in the afternoon local time, the game officially began.
Contrary to all the media's expectations, Li Tongfan did not adopt the previous three-forward formation. Messi, who injured his arm with his teammates during training, did not appear in the starting lineup. Higuain and Tevez partnered as strikers.
这是一套皇家马德里和纽卡斯尔鼎盛时期的4-1-2-1-2阵形！
At the beginning of the game, the Argentine team did not have an absolute upper hand. The Canadian team's aggressive fighting in the midfield once made the organization of the Nerazzurri look a little disorganized, especially after Porto winger Brocchi always tried to use his personal speed and technique to go it alone after getting the ball, and soon fell into double-teaming and conceded the ball...
The deadlock was broken in the 23rd minute——
Riquelme's free-kick stunt showed his prowess again. Romy's free kick pierced through the ten fingers of Canadian goalkeeper Anstad from 25 meters away from the goal...
1: 0!
Argentina took the lead.
At this time, Li Tongfan made a quick substitution. Atletico Madrid captain Maxi Rodriguez replaced Porto winger Brocchi. The game continued...
When Brocchi left the field, he was sad. He knew that he was the first to be eliminated by the national team. His performance was really bad...
However, he still politely stepped forward to hug the 'boss' Crazy Li...
"Good luck, boss! Good luck to the Argentine team!"
Brockey whispered something in Li Tongfan's ear, his tone was full of regret and expectation. Although he already knew his end would be like saying goodbye to the World Cup in South Africa...but he still hoped that his motherland could reach the end of the South African battlefield that attracted everyone's attention!
Li Tongfan patted Broki on the back vigorously, but did not speak.
……
34 minutes.
Another goal for Argentina -
After Di Maria made a breakthrough, Higuain followed up with a header from the center and scored a goal. The score became 2:0!
The cheers at Monument Stadium were like a tsunami!
Afterwards, the Argentine team fought more and more courageously. In the 44th minute [The Beast] Tevez received a through ball from Riquelme, and successfully counter-offsided the goalkeeper and shot an empty goal...
3:0! !
After the 15-minute intermission, Li Tongfan changed players again——
Insua from Liverpool replaced Zanetti, Diego Milito replaced Higuain, Mascherano replaced Gago, Aymar replaced Riquelme, Sevilla teenager Perotti replaced Di Maria, Otamendi replaced Zabaleta, and Getafe goalkeeper Ustari also got a chance to perform...
The second half begins.
It is still the Argentine team that is playing more and more smoothly to control the rhythm of the game.
In the 45 minutes of the second half, Milito, Gago, Aguero (who came on as a substitute for Tevez in the 67th minute) Perotti each scored a goal, and the score was finally locked at 7:0! !
The game ended with the cheers of more than 20000 Argentine fans at the Monument Stadium. They were very satisfied with the combat effectiveness shown by the team.
……
"7:0! !The Argentine team is showing the king's spirit for the first time"
"After the big victory, the blue and white army show their champion appearance! "
After the game, domestic and foreign media were very satisfied with the results of the Argentine team's first warm-up match. Although the opponent was the weak Canadian team, the huge score of 7:0 still revealed the terrifying attack power of the Blue and White Army!
And the media from all walks of life spent a lot of pen and ink to comment on the performance of several newcomers to the national team——
Higuain has been praised for a long time!
The Sevilla teenager was praised for scoring a long shot!
Insua, who came off the bench, performed mediocre and only scored 6 soy sauce points in the media rating...
Porto winger Brocchi played poorly and is considered to be the first player who is most likely to be eliminated from the mad Li Lanbai team...
……
The media's guesses were correct.
On the second day, Porto winger Brocchi and Liverpool full-back Insua left the team's hotel with their luggage on their backs sadly. They became the first unlucky ones to be eliminated!
"They are still young, all they need is time and experience, good luck to them!"
Li Tongfan sent blessings to the two losers on the official website of the Argentine Football Association!
Then, a total of 77 people from Argentina took a transfer flight chartered by the Football Association, took off from Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires, and officially headed for the South African battlefield!
Through the oval window, Li Tongfan looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and remembered a very popular saying among Argentine players-"The blue sky is vast and quiet, and the white clouds are smart and elegant. If God is not an Argentine fan, why is the sky blue and the clouds white?"
World Cup, here I come! !
-
Brothers, people on the monthly ticket list have been blasted to death, please lend a valuable helping hand!
In addition, I have a very legitimate reason for asking for a ticket: I need a monthly ticket award to sell eggs to replenish blood. These days, I have been crazy about typing and have nosebleeds every day! !Otaku's sorrow!
Really weeping blood begging for a monthly pass!
