The Argentine coach Pekerman does not think his team will lose. ┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛

After the America's Cup last year, the madman Bielsa led the team to the ground, but the Argentine Football Association still trusts him. Argentina won the 2004 Athens Olympics without Brazil, but Bielsa unexpectedly resigned.

The Argentine Football Association wanted to lead Boca Juniors to Bianchi, who won the Copa Libertadores consecutively, to take over, but Bianchi refused. In the end, Pekerman began to take charge of the coach of the Argentine team.

Pekerman's personality is relatively restrained and steady, and his coaching style is also affected by his personality. He is steady but not conservative, and pursues a balance between offense and defense and lineup changes. The media generally believe that Pekerman has his own uniqueness in the selection and appointment of players. He does not arrange the lineup according to the fame of the players, but chooses the players he thinks are suitable for the team's style of play.

So there is no place for Crespo in the Argentine team this year. He likes to use Figueroa, Delgado Jr., Tevez, etc. on the front line.

At the press conference before the game, in view of the media’s general pessimism about Argentina, Pekerman said: “If the outcome of the game can be determined only by the number of stars on both sides, then everyone should stop playing the game and bring out the lineup. Just compare.Brazil has some really good stars, but the great lads in Argentina are also very good. They will not give up on the field because of their fame. We will keep our feet on the ground and fight for every inch of the field. .”

"In the qualifiers, we beat Brazil, which shows that this Brazil is not invulnerable. We are confident that we can beat them again. The Brazilians may be proud of their world titles, but they don't forget, in 89 between the two teams In the first historical match, Argentina has an advantage with 34 wins, 22 draws and 33 losses."

"Pekerman can say what he wants to say," Pereira, who is about to usher in his 100th game in charge of the Brazil team, responded, "Brazil is not afraid of any opponent. A new history will be written. I am confident This group of players will make history."

"In my opinion, the current Brazilian team may not be as good as the one led by Pele, Garrincha, etc., but it is by no means inferior to the Brazilian team led by Zico, Falcao and Socrates. We are fully capable of attacking the sixth World Cup. Argentina? I hope they can enter the World Cup."

When he said this, Pereira forgot that after Argentina beat Brazil at home in the world preliminaries, they had already got the tickets...

The war of words between the two sides will not affect preparations for war.

For the Brazil team, after communicating with the team doctor many times and confirming that Ricardo has recovered 90%, Pereira finally decided to let Ricardo appear in the squad.

But the starter,

He hasn't settled down yet.

He is also hesitating and confused... Argentina's defense line is not tall enough. If Adriano is allowed to play, he can occupy a certain advantage. The Brazilian team can completely play long balls.

But the Brazilian team plays long balls...is it really good? If it is ground propulsion, then Ricardo undoubtedly has an advantage.

And the tacit understanding between Ricardo and Ronaldo is also a factor that must be taken into consideration.

At this moment, he very much wishes to have a coin on hand to help him make a decision...

As for playing another formation in order to play 5 attackers at the same time... that's impossible. Except for 442, other formations are heresy, the garbage of history.

On the evening of June 29, Frankfurt Forest Stadium.

The 2005 Confederations Cup final was played here.

Pekerman lined up a 4312 formation. Argentina's lineup is goalkeeper Lukes, defenders Zanetti, Coloccini, Placente and Heinze, midfielders Cambiasso, Bernardi, and Sorin, Riquelme played the attacking midfielder. The forwards are Delgado Jr. and Figueroa.

The Brazilian team's roster is a bit beyond people's expectations. The backcourt has not changed much. Cicinho has returned to the main right back position. Maicon, who made a mistake in the last game, has not been able to continue to be trusted.

In midfield, one of the biggest changes is that Ricardo replaced Kaka, while Ronaldo and Adriano are partners on the front line.

Before the game, it was generally believed that Pereira would choose between Ricardo and Adriano, but Pereira would not let them guess.

Ricardo appeared in the position of avant-garde on the right.

However, although the position of the Brazilian team is a 442 midfield parallel position, when attacking, the two full-backs have to act as the front midfielder. They go to the center to organize the attack, let go of the side and let the two full-backs insert assists. When defending, come back and protect the full-backs.

So in fact Ricardo is playing the right midfielder today. He is no stranger to such a position.

His left and right foot skills are good. When he played as a left midfielder in Inter Milan, he often had to rely on the center to organize the attack. Now it is just a change of side, which does not have much impact on him.

When the game started, it was still raining. Although the Forest Stadium has been touting its own drainage and rainwater collection system, there is a canopy over the stadium, but the stadium is not fully built yet, and the rain still leaks.

The two sides started the game on a slippery field.

Although before the Confederations Cup, the Brazilian team didn't have much thought about winning the championship, but it has already reached the final, and it would be shameful not to think about playing hard to win the championship.

Moreover, if the Brazilian team can win today, it will become the second team after France to have the three major honors of the World Cup, the Continental Champion, and the Confederations Cup. This can be regarded as a small stimulus for the Brazilians.

Therefore, after the opening game today, the Brazilian team performed more victorious than in the past few games**.

Many players came to Germany with a vacation attitude before, but today, they are more serious than ever.

After the opening, they continuously attacked Argentina's goal. Ronaldo's close-range stab and Ricardo's long-range shot from the top of the penalty area were very threatening. However, the Argentine goalkeeper and defender were very focused and blocked Brazil. The team's first wave of offensive.

After a few minutes of hard work in the opening game, the Brazilian team slowed down and began to control the ball at the most comfortable rhythm for them.

In stable ball possession, they will also undergo changes. Ronaldinho, Ricardo, and even Emerson and Ze Roberto suddenly send through balls. At this time, several of their midfielders will quickly Go forward and hit Argentina behind.

This sudden change of rhythm makes the Argentines very passive, and they can only use fierce fighting to make up for their lack of personal ability.

But scrambling isn't everything. In particular, the players of the Brazilian team generally have outstanding skills at their feet. The Argentines' bodies do not have an advantage when facing Brazil. They cannot rely on their strong bodies to fight against them like Germany. The ball is a matter of time.
