Chapter 538 The Horror of Crazy Li [First Update]
Two days before the game, the Uruguayan team flew to Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
However, Oscar Tabarez's team did not stay in Buenos Aires for too long. After leaving the airport, they quickly took the bus prepared by the Argentine Football Association and rushed to La Plata without stopping!
There, the Uruguayan team will conduct the final warm-up and field training before the life-and-death battle...
The Argentine team, which is playing at home, has been staying in Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires is less than 60 kilometers away from La Plata, so Li Tongfan chose to borrow the famous Boca Juniors stadium in the Boca district of Buenos Aires - the Candy Box Stadium for the pre-match training of the Albierso!
The 6-0 sweep of the Peruvian team not only brought morale growth to the current blue and white team, but also made the players and the Argentine coaching staff completely admire such an airborne head coach as Madman Li!
Li Tongfan finally took control of the team thoroughly.
Now, even if Li Tongfan locks the Argentine stars in the conference room every day, like teaching elementary school students, giving boring tactical explanations tirelessly, I believe no one will make any comments!
But this time, Li Tongfan's arrangement was just the opposite——
The team focused more time on training with the ball and tactical drills.
而且，上一场比赛中球队使用的4-4-2边路传中的套路被抛在了一边，这一回，李统范选择的是4-3-3！
the reason is simple--
In terms of staffing, compared with the Peruvian team, in addition to the more prominent personal abilities of the players, the Uruguayan team is generally taller than the Peruvian team!
Especially Uruguay's defense line, central defenders Godin, Lugano, full-backs Caceres and Pereira are all star players who play for European giants such as Juventus and Benfica.
What's more, neither Higuain nor Diego Milito are players known for their headers!
Facing strong teams, Argentina must return to the old routine of ground attack that they are best at.
For two days in a row, the team has been training fast balls and one-foot passes and some simple tactics.
In addition, set kicks are also regarded as a magic weapon for winning.
……
……
The three days are definitely a torment for the eagerly awaited Argentines.
That's right, Crazy Li's coaching is indeed a powerful guarantee for the team to win, but Crazy Li has a "shortcoming" that makes many people—even his fans, grieve their teeth from time to time—
Too mysterious!
For example, the pre-match training of the Argentine team was once again covered by Madman Li.
Candy Box Court is enclosed in all directions.
For the past two days, no one knew what kind of tactics the Blue and Whites were preparing, no one knew how the players were doing, and no one knew what kind of tactics Crazy Lee would adopt...
This mystery lasted until the last day before the game.
At the last pre-match press conference on November 11th, Crazy Li, who was 'still holding a pipa half-hidden', finally 'came out after a thousand calls', reluctantly appeared in front of many red-eyed media reporters who had been waiting!
However, the way he answered the question still seemed so embarrassing——
Reporter: "What do you think is the best way for Argentina to beat Uruguay?"
Obviously, the reporter wanted to use such vague questions to try to figure out what kind of tactics the Argentine team would adopt in the game, but Crazy Li's answer was——
"Goal, score more goals than your opponent"...
It seemed like a reasonable answer, but it was no different from letting out a colorless and odorless fart.
The reporters were not reconciled, and asked again: "Will Messi appear in the starting lineup? Do you think his status in the national team is important?"
Crazy Li yawned, as if surprised, and asked lazily: "It will definitely be. Messi is the core of the national team. Is there any doubt about it?"
"This……"
Journalists are getting sick of it.
Crazy Li's answer always gives people a casual taste. Since he is the core, why does Messi always come off the bench?
Believe in you!
……
……
Snapped.
Turn off the TV.
After watching the scene at Crazy Lee's press conference just now, Uruguay head coach Oscar Tabarez turned around and asked his assistant coach Cohen Castrote with a smile: "Cohen, what do you think, what kind of smoke bomb is Crazy Lee putting on?"
"Messi will definitely not play. I think the Catalans' speculation that Madman Lee will depose Messi should be true..."
Without the slightest hesitation, Castrote said affirmatively: "That lunatic will definitely do this, and dare to do it! Since the Barcelona star cannot be integrated into the team, he will abandon him without hesitation. This is the usual style of lunatic Li!"
"Hehe, my opinion is completely opposite to yours..."
Tabarez squeezed the remote control, turned the TV back on, inserted the video tape, and tuned to the second half of the match between Argentina and Peru. He analyzed with a smile——
"Many people focused on the first half of the 6-0 game. Yes, the Argentine team scored three goals in a row in the opening 15 minutes. It was really weird, unexpected, and really exciting..."
"However, in my opinion, the stage of this game that can truly reflect the tactical intentions of Madman Li is in the second half!"
"Actually, if you observe carefully, you will find that after Messi came off the bench in the second half, the Argentine team's focus was completely on Messi!"
"Although the Barcelona superstar didn't score a goal or provide an assist in the game, even the Argentina team's victory seems to have nothing to do with Messi, but if you pay attention to Messi's range of activities..."
"Did you find anything?"
"Messi enjoys absolute freedom on the field, a freedom beyond any teammate... Think about it, in Madman Lee's team, if he hadn't given Messi this freedom himself, who else would dare to indulge Messi like this?"
Tabarez finished the speech in one breath, crossed his arms and looked at his assistant coach.
Assistant coach Cohen Castrote was lost in thought.
However, soon, this 35-year-old elegant middle-aged man thought of another possibility——
"Oscar, maybe... maybe this just means that Madman Lee is trying to find a way to inspire Messi's energy in the national team, and, from the actual effect, he seems to have failed, because although Messi got the most tactical freedom in the second half, he neither scored nor assisted..."
"Hehe, Cohen, what you said can only prove that you don't really realize the horror of Madman Li..." Tabarez smiled mysteriously: "A head coach who has never failed since his debut, do you think his thinking is really that simple?"
Having said that, Tabarez's face suddenly became serious.
Tabarez was originally a very temperamental and imposing man, and his body flashed a unique charm of a mature man. When he became serious, he became more convincing: "It is true that Messi has no goals or assists, but, on the contrary, I think that is what Madman Lee is really looking forward to..."
"What is Mad Lee expecting? Expecting Messi to perform sluggishly?"
Castrote was confused by his partner.
In this world, is there any head coach who expects his players to perform poorly?
"That's right, that's exactly it..."
Tabarez didn't mean to be joking at all: "The reason is very simple, because from the very beginning, Madman Lee didn't really see the Peruvian team as a team that could bring him trouble...Haha, speaking of it, I really feel sad for poor Makarian. He wants to defeat Madman Lee in an upset to gain great glory, but in the eyes of Madman Lee, this Peruvian head coach is not even a qualified stumbling block..."
By this point, assistant coach Cohen Castrote seemed to understand what Tabarez meant.
He suddenly thought of a possibility, and his expression was horrified: "Oscar, what do you mean..."
"You finally figured it out?"
Tabares raised his hand to turn off the TV, went to the window and pulled up the blinds, the bright sunlight couldn't wait to shine in, making the whole room suddenly bright...
The only world-class coach in the history of Uruguay, the wise old man who is honored as "mentor", looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze, fell silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Peru is just a sharpening stone. The opponent that Madman Li really values is us, the Uruguay team..."
He turned around, looked at his partner who was much younger than himself, and continued: "What a scary young man... I think he must have figured out how to use Messi, the sharpest spear of the Argentine team, from that second half, but he didn't make adjustments at that time... because he wants to paralyze the outside world and paralyze us... When tomorrow's game, the whole world will see a terrifying Messi who suddenly explodes!"
Speaking of this, Tabarez suddenly showed a wry smile: "Cohen, tell me, is it our honor or misfortune to be so valued by such a terrible opponent?"
Assistant coach Cohen Castrote didn't know what to say.
The head coach Tabarez's analysis made him seem to see a terrifying beast standing in the dark and devouring people. Although the room was full of sunlight, his back was sweating profusely...
He knew that for so many years, [mentor] Tabarez has been training him as a successor, and Castrote once proudly thought that following Tabarez for so many years, he had learned enough things for him, enough for him to stand on his own and go to the European League to write his own brilliance...
He even confidently believed that he was not much worse than the famous Madman Li...
However, now it seems that I am still too far behind!
Castrote never thought that a person, a football coach, could be so thoughtful and terrifying to this degree!
However, the slight reluctance deep in his heart made Castrote try to ask: "Oscar, would you describe Crazy Li as terrible? Maybe... Maybe we overestimated him?"
"No, it's an overestimate at all..."
Tabares shook his head solemnly: "Cohen, you have to keep in mind that for a head coach like Madman Li who has never failed since his debut, no matter how terrifying you imagine him, it is not too much!"
Castroto nodded reluctantly.
"However, if Crazy Li only has so many means to take the victory away from me, it is not enough. The Uruguayan team is not like Peru. I have a good card in my hand!"
Swish the blinds shut.
Tabarez immediately became full of fighting spirit. He returned to his seat, turned on the TV again, and began to observe and analyze the game video of the Argentine team.
