That's Bailey, his mouth is more terrifying than his football skills.

The original Argentina is in lingering.

Brazilian fans are not satisfied. If you say Argentina, just say Argentina. Why do you bring Brazil with you? Isn’t it okay to be your Brazilian king of football?

Johannesburg, this time, welcomed quite a few Argentine fans.

As Argentina entered the knockout round, more and more Argentine fans came to South Africa.

I heard that Chinese fans can treat South Africa as their home court, so they keep increasing troops here.

On the day of the 1/8 finals, there were no fewer Argentines in Johannesburg than Chinese.

They came outside the court wearing traditional blue and white jerseys, with blue and white Argentine flags on their faces, and came outside the court in groups.

When seeing Chinese fans passing by, Argentine fans took the initiative to provoke Chinese fans.

"Hey, you guys are ready to go home, Argentina will definitely slaughter you!"

"Do you want a slap?"

Chinese fans wearing red Chinese team jerseys are also unwilling to be outdone.

Chinese fans who know how to speak Spanish immediately spoke up and counterattacked: "You'd better let Messi win the Golden Ball first, then talk about it. Oh, I forgot, Barcelona doesn't seem to have reached the Champions League final this year?"

"Are you talking about the score of the 2008 Olympic final?"

...

In front of Argentina fans, Chinese fans can hold their heads high, and they even ridiculed Argentine fans by winning the 2008 Olympic championship.

Argentine fans are making things boring. Although they hope that the national team can crush the Chinese team, the problem is that the Chinese team has never suffered a loss in front of Argentina in recent years, and it is still very advantageous because of Dong Fangzhuo.

Aren’t you Messi awesome? But you haven’t even won the Golden Globe Award, and Dong Fangzhuo won two.

Are you good at Argentina? Isn’t the Olympic champion still in the hands of China?

※※※※

Two hours before the game, Maradona took the lead in leading Higuain to a press conference. He did not bring his son-in-law or successor, but instead brought Higuain.

The reporter at the scene was very curious. Doesn’t it mean that Higuain will appear?

The first question for the reporters is naturally about Higuain.

"Is Higuain the center of this game?"

"Yes," Maradona nodded, and then expressed his point in detail. "I think Higuain has the ability to be a two-time forward, Batistuta and Crespo. He will have a very bright career prospect. He is currently at the best moment of his career, and I summoned him at the right time."

Higuain left Argentina at a young age to make a splash in Europe. He determined his main position with his super high goal rate at Real Madrid. He was not at Maradona's eyes at first, but when Argentina fell into trouble in the South American qualifiers, Higuain began to exert his power in this team. In this World Cup, although Higuain wasted many good goals in the first game against Nigeria, he staged his first assist "hat trick" in this World Cup in a 43-1 victory over South Korea. The target of assist was Messi.

It is obvious that Maradona will definitely not give up such a good 'partner' as Messi.

Higuain felt honored and seemed a little shy when sitting next to him. He felt that he was the second most popular man in Maradona besides Messi. He must assist Messi or Aguero in this game.

He is really a striker with a strong sense of understanding.

Maradona said that he is a combination of Batistuta and Crespo, and this evaluation is so high...

"Diego, how will you deal with the Chinese team?"

"Occurrence, offense, attack again! Because our name is Argentina, we are not Italy or other teams."

Italy accidentally got shot...

"Those guys who say Argentina needs to focus on defense must not want Argentina to advance and win defense? No, no, if we don't score goals, we should play the most beautiful offense and score the most goals."

"Messi is unique. I don't want to see those people put too much pressure on Messi. Even if he doesn't score, he is the most threatening one on the court. When he scores, I even want to go up and polish his shoes."

"Messi is a nuclear weapon against the Chinese team, and he has enough helpers around him. I firmly believe that under his leadership, Argentina can score goals and win."

"Diego, then how do you plan to deal with China Dong?"

Maradona snorted coldly and said contemptuously:

"I won't spend manpower on defending a person. As I said just now, the most important thing about Argentina is attack. If we want to defend like Italy, then we are not Argentina, so we won't do any special tactics against him."

"Although China Dong is excellent, he is really not as talented as Messi. Don't forget that Messi is 2 years younger, and today is the day when Messi surpasses China Dong."

True or false? The reporters are half-believing and half-doubted. Maradona is also a cannon, and what he said is not so credible!

Do you despise Dong Fangzhuo so much?

"Diego, if you fail, will you resign from the national team?"!!!

Maradona almost got angry. What the hell is this?

"Are you sure you're asking a meaningful question?"

This problem occurs except for losing the game, but will we lose?

"You didn't recruit Zanetti, Milito and Veron, do you regret it?"

Fark, it's all a fool's problem!

Maradona was already very impatient. Journalists from all over the world seemed to be against him, as well as Batistuta, Ortega and others, all their brains were covered.

"Let's wait and see, after the game, you will all apologize to me!"

Afterwards, he simply announced the lineup directly and ignored these brainless guys again.

Goalkeeper: Romero

Defenders: Otamendi, Demikelis, Burdiso and Heinze

Midfielder: Rodriguez, Mascherano, Di Maria

Forwards: Messi, Higuain, Tevez

After the list was announced, the reporter resisted asking questions again.

"Diego, why is there no Aguero?"

Why doesn't your son-in-law come on stage?

The reporter wanted to ask this question, but he didn't dare. They were really afraid that Diego would hit him with a microphone, so Maradona really dared to do it.

Why is there no Aguero? At that time, Aguero didn't score a goal in the World Cup, and Maradona didn't dare to play like this. As for Tevez's appearance, it was because Argentina had a high voice in China. As the king of football, he felt much pressure...

Then, he left Higuain and continued to be interviewed on the spot, leaving himself first.

Ten minutes later, Clauchen and Dong Fangzhuo also attended the press conference.

The reporters' questions were still very sharp.

"Mr. Clauchen, now the whole world believes that Argentina can easily crush the Chinese team to advance to the quarterfinals. Only a few people think that the Chinese team can create miracles. Do you think their views are correct?"

Clauchen would not be as angry as Maradona: "Haha, this is very trendy. Argentina is a favorite to win the championship, and we are just a dark horse. But I never predict the future of my team. The whole world thinks that we will lose the game. We only care about the results of the game."

"Maradona said they have 23 geniuses and only one Chinese team, so Argentina will definitely win the Chinese team. What do you think about this?"

"The Brazilian lineup in 2006 was the strongest in theory, but they got nothing in the end. The French team in the same group as us has returned home, and the same is true for Italy..."

"Argentina, with 23 talents, lost to Greece, so we played here."

The reporters were confused. Old man Clauchen is so good at practicing Tai Chi. It is not fun at all, and there is no smell of gunpowder. Let’s ask Dong Fangzhuo!

"Dong, Messi posted a picture of raising pigs on Facebook the day before yesterday, and then you also posted a picture of catching wild boars. Did you do it on purpose?"

"Haha, is it only allowed to raise pigs and not kill pigs? This is a coincidence."

"Maradona said, although you are excellent, you are not as talented as Messi. The reason why Messi lost to you is just because he is 2 years younger. What do you think?"

"I don't think much. After Messi won two Golden Globes, let's discuss this issue again. OK?"

Dong Fangzhuo is unwilling to talk about Messi, only his opponents are talking about him. Why is this happening? Because when you are at the peak and at the first place, others want to find things to compare with you every day and try to narrow the distance between themselves and you, and they will seem to care very much...

Subsequently, the Chinese team also announced the lineup:

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng

Defenders: Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng, Feng Xiaoting, Zhu Ting

Midfielder: Huang Bowen, Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xuri

Forward: Feng Renliang, Dong Fangzhuo, Mao Jianqing

※※※※

"Okay, now we have got the rosters of both sides. Both sides are playing 433. This will be another match between the two sides after 2008. The last time was the Olympic final, when the Chinese team won, but it was the national Olympic team at that time. There were many big-name stars in the Argentina team. This time, Argentina almost gathered the best players in Argentina."

"But what makes Chinese fans feel very regretful is that none of Inter Milan's Argentine gangs were selected for the Argentine team, which is really incredible..."

Huang Jianxiang looked at Argentina's list and couldn't help but shout for justice for Zanetti and the others: "Although Zanetti is a little older, he is still the best right-back in Argentina,"

"Milito is Argentina's best center forward, but Maradona also chose the young Higuain. Although Higuain is young and promising, his feet are a little weak in the key game, and he is not as reliable as Milito."

"Not to mention Samuel, he is Inter Milan's defense and defensive needle. To be honest, Demikelis is just a big colander. Burdiso was summoned after leaving Inter Milan, but he was not comparable to Samuel."

"Anyway, I just don't understand why Maradona didn't have any tricks. Perhaps, as Batistuta said, this Argentina is not united, it is just a faction..."

"Hehe, what you said makes sense. Argentina has been like this all these years." Zhang Lu partnered with Huang Jianxiang again this time.

"We need an ununified Argentina, because our Chinese team is united enough. Today, Zheng Zhi returned and formed three midfielders with Huang Bowen and Zhao Xuri. The offensive end was mainly based on the performance of Feng Renliang, Mao Jianqing and Dong Fangzhuo. Obviously, Argentina's midfield and frontcourt are too strong, so we can only play defensive counterattacks."
