With this goal, Messi's confidence returned and he began to move in a wider range.

Frontcourt, midfield, backcourt.

For the first time, fans can always see Messi on camera.

Although sometimes we are taking a walk, the camera often turns.

Eh?

How did Messi walk from the frontcourt to the backcourt?

Eh?

Why did Messi walk from the frontcourt to the midfield again?

This situation put a lot of pressure on the England team, and the counterattack did not come as quickly as expected.

But the Argentina team's offense also stagnated because of Lindy's "accompaniment" that spared no effort in physical fitness. Although Messi has always appeared in the camera, he did not have any good performance opportunities.

The fans who supported Messi became unhappy at this time.

"Hey, where is Boss Coal walking his dog? Are you so happy?"

"What? Your Emperor Lin doesn't do anything in this game, he just wants to be a companion?"

"Oh my, isn't this Lin Baoan? The personal kind? Thank you for your hard work."

Similar harsh words are heard endlessly on major online live broadcast platforms.

Indeed, judging from the scene, Lindy had no performance until the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Although he restricted Messi's continued performance, this role is equivalent to "disappearing" in the eyes of many fans.

After all, most trolls only watch the highlights, and the 90-minute game highlights are too lengthy for them.

Messi's walk, Cristiano Ronaldo's dive, Lindy's shovel.

These three types of highlights have been concentrated in the rankings of major football videos for a long time and have never fallen out of the top three.

As long as there is someone competing, his video on that day will be number one.

This is also the absolute traffic password that major video websites and media rely on for their survival, including various up owners who rely on it to make a living.

Without Lin Melo, it seems that football will lose all topics overnight.

...

In the England dressing room, the players were breathing heavily.

It's not that this game is very physically demanding.

Henderson, Phil Jones, and Sterling are in the most serious situation.

For no other reason than too much pressure.

This is the first time for the three to participate in the World Cup, and it is the first time to reach the semi-finals.

We can still keep our heads down in the group stage, since there are three games anyway.

When they met Sakura Country in the previous promotion, the opponent was not strong and the atmosphere in the team was very relaxed. They were not so nervous when they came on stage.

But Messi, who was terrified when facing Lindy, especially that time when he scored with two passes and one shot, put great pressure on Phil Jones.

At this moment, Rooney was sitting next to him and kept saying something to him.

In the Argentina team's locker room, it was a different story.

Mascherano's forehead was wrapped with gauze and he was constantly communicating with his teammates.

Unlike the England team, Argentina has mostly veterans.

The youngest Rojo, who is also 25 years old, is not nervous at all. Everyone is holding their breath for England.

We must defeat our opponents and recreate Maradona’s championship legend.

The team has Messi, the only successor to Lao Ma, so how can we not fight for it?

You know, Argentina won't be able to field such a strong lineup until the next World Cup.

Demichelis, the backbone of this generation of defense, is probably going to retire.

Even the 27-year-old Higuain is unlikely to appear in the next World Cup squad.

They need to lay a solid foundation for Argentina before the younger generation grows up.

Dating!

This is the biggest problem facing Argentina now. After Messi is accompanied by Lindy, the Argentina team's offense becomes blocked.

The England team actually didn't have many chances in the first half.

The configuration of three defensive midfielders only allowed Lindy to succeed that time.

Messi leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, his chest rising and falling. The first half of the game was truly a physical test for him.

5.1 km!

This is the latest statistics.

It can be said that Argentina in the first half was completely supported by Messi.

Savilia took a sip of water, walked slowly to Messi, knelt down and asked with concern: "Leo, how are you feeling?"

Messi's closed eyes finally opened: "Don't worry about me, you tell me how to play and I will do it."

Savilia nodded. In fact, he has countless tactical arrangements, but they all revolve around Messi.

If Messi's physical fitness cannot persist in the second half, he really doesn't know how to arrange it.

But despite Messi's answer, he was still a little worried looking at Messi who was obviously too physically exhausted:

"Gonzalo (Higuain), in the second half, your position will be better. Go to the front. You don't need to be wide."

"Angel (Di Maria), you replaced Biglia in the second half. Your position remains the same, still in the midfield, but I want you to pull out during the attack and rush me to the death of Glen Johnson. That Guy wasn’t in good shape today.”

"Leo, you move back to midfield and Javier (Mascherano) will be by your side to protect you."

"Let's adjust our passing route. Doesn't Lindy like to follow? Then let him follow. Javier, you will be Leo's main receiving point. All the balls will come to your feet first, and you will organize them."

"There are three routes, either go directly to Gonzalo and let him cooperate with Kun, or directly rush behind and Angel will solve the problem."

"The last option is to do whatever it takes to get that damn ball to Leo!!"

After quickly making tactical arrangements, he looked at Messi, seemingly asking for advice, or perhaps seeking some kind of affirmation.

Messi took a long breath and stood up slowly, his eyes firm.

"Trust me, give me the ball!"

At this moment, Aguero even saw the light in Messi's eyes.

The Argentine players also seemed to see that light, and their confidence suddenly increased.

...

When the players from both sides entered the court, Lindy frowned.

Everyone around these Argentinians feels confident.

There was even a hint of pride on Aguero's face.

"How is this going?"

He didn't know what happened during the halftime break, but the Argentina team in front of him was completely different from the state at the end of the first half.

The England team did not make any adjustments during the halftime break. Hodgson, an old-fashioned slicker, still played with the same lineup.

Unchanging, for him, is the guarantee of stability and victory.

At least Hodgson couldn't shout: "Give the damn ball to Lindy."

Lindy shook his neck and put aside the messy thoughts in his mind. He turned to Henderson and said:

"Be careful later, I always feel something is wrong. If necessary, you should help defend in time and don't always think about attacking."

Henderson was a little dazed by Lindy's sudden warning and nodded subconsciously.

He still doesn't know exactly what to expect.

But soon, he would regret it.
