Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Seven: Argentina Falling Under Viking Battle Cry!
"3-2, although France won the game, they were completely suppressed by Mo Yang in the midfield during the game, as if they were defeated! The strongest in the group is not strong, and the weakest in the group is not weak!" - Sina Sports
"Le, became famous with one goal. He played for the Premier League club Leeds United. In this game, under the impact of his terrifying speed, the French team's luxurious defense collapsed, leaving Varane and Lloris with only panic.
And despair!" - Kicker
"Yang!" He scored an ultra-long-distance goal 45 meters away from the goal in the arc of the center circle. I prefer to call it a masterpiece of God. Maybe at that moment, he was the incarnation of God! - L'Equipe
"With a speed of 187KM/H, terrifying ball speed, wonderful parabola, and China Yang's terrifying heavy artillery attributes, he once again brought despair to Lloris!" - The Times
"..."
After the game, media from various countries covered the showdown between the strongest and the weakest, which almost caused the biggest upset in this World Cup.
For fans all over the world, the biggest highlights of this game are Bai Lele's speed and Mo Yang's kick that is like a masterpiece from God.
For the Chinese fans, although they lost the game, they still had smiles on their faces because they saw what they wanted to see in this game.
Many Chinese fans were interviewed by the media when they exited the game.
"I am satisfied with this game! Because I saw a kind of tenacity and unyielding spirit in our team!"
"This is team football! Although we spend most of our time defensively, our players still have the courage to try to attack!"
"What do you think? Haha, Bai Lele's speed and Mo Yang's flying feet make my blood boil!"
"Refund brother! Do you want to refund the money?"
"Hahaha... If the next games are like this, I will give them more money!!"
After Wei Bowen's interview team obtained enough interview materials, they returned to the hotel with satisfaction.
Although he lost the game, he had the same feedback as countless Chinese fans, feeling that it was an honor for the Chinese team to lose!
…
After the game, the Chinese team did not stay in Kazan for long. They all boarded the plane and flew back to Moscow.
On the plane, all members of the Chinese team were waiting for the game between Iceland and Argentina.
The Iceland team is the smallest participating country in the history of the World Cup, with a total population of only 330,000.
Like China, Panama, and Tunisia, they are also one of the four underdogs that have been hyped up by the media of various countries in this World Cup, just because they have a small number of people and it is their first time to participate in the World Cup!
Nowadays, under the exaggeration of media from various countries, Iceland has become the bottom team in this World Cup, and it seems that it is impossible to escape the fate of elimination.
Because under the deliberate exaggeration of some unscrupulous media to attract attention, Iceland has become a team composed of amateur players.
It's all absurd rumors that head coach Hallgrimsson's official profession is a dentist, that defender Cevassson is a salt factory worker, that the goalkeeper is a director, that he is a cook, a guitarist, etc.
In fact, they are all professional players now, and that is all a thing of the past.
Among Iceland's 11 starting players in this game, 2 are playing in the Premier League, 1 is from the Bundesliga, 1 is from Serie A, 3 are from the English Championship, and the remaining 3 are also in the Russian Premier League, Swedish Premier League, and Scottish Premier League.
Waiting to play in the European second-tier league.
On the plane, Mo Yang looked at his watch and saw that the game would start in half an hour, so he said to Bai Lele: "Call me when the game starts!"
"I know, you can get some sleep!" Bai Lele nodded.
He knew very well how tired Mo Yang was from today's game. There was almost no time for walking in the whole game, so he had cramps and ended the game early.
【bite!】

【bite!】
[Achievement Achieved: Dog History Luck! Reward Enhanced Skill Point +1/World-Class Platinum Star Pack*1]
A series of task completion prompts made Mo Yang extremely excited, but when he saw the last achievement, Mo Yang suddenly felt as if he had eaten a fly.
But the irony of the dog system left him speechless.
They were indeed unlucky in today's game. The French team was slow to start, Deschamps's wrong direct pass tactics, and the unclear responsibilities of the forwards, etc., were all factors that were beneficial to the Chinese team.
Even his ultra-long-distance shot had a bit of luck in it.
Judging from the offensive data, this is the game in which he has initiated the fewest offenses in his career.
After calling up the attribute panel and adding enhanced skill points to passing, Mo Yang thought about it again and again, and finally decided to divide the 8 ordinary skill points into two, one for defense and one for free kicks.
After this game, he realized firsthand that in the face of the powerful offense of the European giants, they probably only had to defend. It would be difficult to attack well while defending well.
So set kicks became their only scoring weapon.

Just when Mo Yang wanted to enter the system mall to open a package, Bai Lele pushed him.
Mo Yang opened his eyes and saw the match between Argentina and Iceland being played on the small TV on the back of the table and chair in front of him.
"I'm sleeping! Just take your time and watch!"
Bai Lele put on a blindfold and was not interested in this game at all, "What's so good about it? Iceland is dead! I said it! Even God can't keep it!"
Hearing Bai Lele's beeping, Mo Yang was amused, but he didn't think so.
Before coming back, he watched some Iceland team game highlights online.
The one that impressed me most was the match between Iceland and England in the quarter-finals of the European Cup in France in 2016.
In the end, the Icelanders had the last laugh. They scored two goals in a row after falling behind by one goal, knocking out the Three Lions.
He was also deeply impressed by Iceland's rigorous and precise defensive system.
Therefore, Argentina, which is strong in offense and weak in defense, is expected to encounter a tough nut in this game. If they underestimate their opponent, Argentina may really fall to Iceland's exciting Viking war cry.
Sure enough, after the game started, Argentina was accurately strangled by Iceland's defensive formation. Even the powerful Messi was unable to pass through the two defensive fronts of Iceland's midfield and backcourt most of the time, and was forced to retreat to the midfield to get the ball.
Iceland's offense is very simple, even simple to the point of brutality. It passes the ball directly over the head of the Argentinian defender, and then presses the entire line to counterattack, looking for a second attack opportunity.
Seeing Iceland's excellent defensive performance, Mo Yang unknowingly brought himself into it.
But he quickly shook his head, there was no good solution.
If you want to score goals, you can only rely on luck or unsolvable long shots.
Soon, Mo Yang's idea was confirmed.
In the 19th minute of the game, Rojo shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, but it fell to the feet of Aguero in the penalty area. Aguero used a clever turn to score the goal, which helped Argentina take the lead.
But the good times did not last long. Just five minutes later, Iceland continuously bombarded the Argentine goal with crosses from the wing. Finally, center Finn Boasson scored the ball and quickly equalized the score.
Then the Icelandic side started a defensive battle that ran all over the field, showing their defensive strength to the fullest. The iron wall they built made Argentina, who had an equally gorgeous striker, suffer.
It also made Mo Yang see the powerful role of luck in the World Cup.
This is also the last goal of the game!
After the game, media from various countries exclaimed that it was another big upset. The powerful Argentina was actually tied with Iceland.
In particular, the key penalty that Messi missed that can determine the outcome has become a hot topic in the media and the Internet in various countries.
