Van
Basten was in a good mood after qualifying from the group, and the whole team flew to Eintracht Frankfurt, where the third game of the group stage was played, that night. The whole team had a day off, and Li Ming and others also watched the third round of Group B between England and Sweden.

The two teams drew 2-2, and England continued their record of no wins against Sweden, as if suffering from "Rusophobia". The team's leading striker Mike Irving was mysteriously seriously injured and almost crawled off the field on his own, and a generation of golden boys fell. On the Swedish side, Ibrahimovic played sparsely, and last season, his limelight at Juventus was completely suppressed by Trezeguet, scoring few league goals and carrying his dismal form to the World Cup.

On June 21, 9pm, Frankfurt Forest Stadium, the final round of Group C, the Netherlands faced Argentina, the two teams had six points before the match, but Argentina had a much more goal difference, mainly on the unmotivated Serbian team to brush six. Next door in Group D, Portugal basically locked up first in the group, and the quarter-finals will face the second place in Group C.

Group C first two rounds standings

1, Argentina 2 wins with 6 points, goal difference 7 2, Netherlands 2 wins with 6 points, goal difference 4 3, Ivory Coast

2 losses with 0 points, goal difference 3 4, Serbia and Montenegro 2 losses with 0 points, goal difference minus 8

So, after this game, who goes to meet the Portuguese golden generation. Argentina have slightly less pressure and a draw can secure the top spot in the group and avoid Portugal. The Netherlands side is bitter, since Euro 04, Portugal has been its own bitter master, this game can only win in the first round of the knockout round to adjust Mexico such a "sixteen lang".

The Netherlands side in addition to Van Bronhorst dyed red suspension, Robben old captain Ko after the end of the game, there were some physical problems, this game is also sitting on the bench

Argentina fielded a 4-3-1-2 formation, with Messi starting for the first time, with Riquelme as the core and the main strikers Crespo and Saviola. Most of the other opponents, Li Ming has played in La Liga, very familiar, club teammate Maxi started, Franco failed to compete for the position of goalkeeper No. 1 after all, and Ah Bondan Sheri who returned from injury was pressed on the bench

Messi, Referee Tevez

blew the whistle and the game began!

According to Van Basten's deployment, this game without Robben is to penetrate in the middle, and then the three forwards use their physical advantages to crush the Argentine side of less than one meter eight defensive line.

But after the opening minutes, the Dutch side could not penetrate, and Cambiasso and Mascherano turned the Dutch midfield into a daze.

Both Commander Kan and Pony are particularly capable of running, covering almost the entire field of defense, and their feet are precise and ruthless, and after a while, Sneijder and Van der Vaart both concede the ball.

In the 6th minute of the first half, Riquelme took the ball, just like in the yellow dive, and now Argentina's entire formation is moving and adjusting with his position.

In La Liga, Van Bommel was sitting on the bench, watching Xavi and Edmilson being coached by Riquelme, and now he is on the field, of course, he has to try him.

Master Fan tried to break the ball from under his feet, but as soon as he stretched his leg, Riquelme dialed the ball from left to right. Master Fan did not believe in evil, stretched his foot again, the ball was pulled back, and when he wanted to stretch a third foot, Riquelme no longer gave the opportunity, knocked his heel, and distributed the ball to Maxi.

Li Ming saw it clearly, in fact, Riquelme was not teasing Master Fan, but waited for Kroncamp on the guard line to come up and wrap it up before dividing the ball in time.

Maxi's side was immediately empty, and he went straight to the bottom line along the wing, and a low cross swept in front of the goal.

Maxi knows that Li Ming is now ready to intercept high-ball crosses, plus two forwards Tevez and Messi are shorter in height, and they can only challenge Li Ming with low flat balls.

As everyone knows, now Li Ming's interception of crosses and bounces are full levels, whatever high ball and low ball, all of them are unified pots.

Tevez was about to rush into the small penalty area to grab a point, but Li Ming had already leaned over to pick up the ball, and threw the ball to Van Bommel who withdrew to receive it.

Although Boraluz and Matheson were miserable enough by Drogba in the last game, this time there is not much pressure against Tevez and Messi. Li Ming also knows that Messi's best position is not at the front of the front, there is no room to sprint, and Messi's magic will be greatly reduced.

The Netherlands do not have Arjen Robben on the wing, and there is no way to take Argentina's double back in the middle.

In the 30 minutes of the first half, Van Nistelrooy felt a little uncomfortable during a fall, Van Basten immediately made a substitution, and in any case the knockout had to be mixed up in front of Van Nistelrooy. Young player Babel also made his World Cup debut!

Although the two teams are also old rivals in the World Cup, they are not desperate for them who have qualified early. As for whether the knockout match will touch Portugal, neither team member cares.

Because they are proud and must not let the other party see that they are kicking so hard to avoid Portugal!

But Messi doesn't think so, this is his first World Cup start, although he has just returned from injury, but if he can't make Li Ming submit, I'm afraid he will be crushed to death by the title of "Maradona's successor".

In 32 minutes, Messi dodged the space to hit the door and was easily held by Li Ming;

In the 36th minute, Messi took the ball in the middle, connected Matheson and Van Bommel, singled out Li Ming but shot too right, and the football was directly held into his arms!

In the 43rd minute, Messi had already withdrawn to the front to get the ball.

But said that Messi suddenly got up to speed, facing Barca teammate Master Fan, pulling the ball back and forth with both feet, pulling the ball sideways in one step and then speeding up. Van Bommel knew how powerful this kid was, and he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and immediately grabbed his arm with his hand to prevent him from entering the restricted area.

Messi turned around and slammed the ball, and Master Fan's center of gravity was taken by him, and he actually rushed out. Messi immediately reflexively accelerates again, takes the ball with his left foot, catches the ball with his right foot and leads it forward, and by the way, Bolarouz is also clean.

But a figure suddenly appeared behind Bora, and it was Li Ming.

Messi saw that this guy was still at the goal before, why did he only bring two steps of the ball, and he pounced?

Messi refused to admit defeat, closed his feet, and picked the ball behind Li Ming in a very small space!
