Messi first pushed the ball to the left, then hit the right. Kanter turned around continuously, almost twisting his waist, so Messi was not shook away from the center of gravity.

Before Kante could take a breath, Messi immediately pushed the ball to the left again. Three consecutive changes in directions, Kante really couldn't keep up this time.

After flashing out of the gap, Messi did not continue to dribble the ball, but instead directly used the instep of his left foot to make an arc.

"Bang!"

The ball was against the turf and drew an arc and turned to the lower right corner of the French goal.

Just now, not only was Kanter dizzy by Messi, but even Lori on the goal line was constantly adjusting his center of gravity and position as Messi's movements, and was fuming.

At this time, the ball suddenly jumped out against the grass. Lori had just moved his position, and now he had to transfer it back quickly.

In a hurry, he could only jump on the spot and jumped sideways, trying to block Messi's shot.

Unfortunately, because Lori's position was not good, when his hand rushed over, the ball had already flew into the net against the inside of the goal post.

“GOAL!!!”

With Messi's wonderful solo performance, Argentina took the lead in breaking the deadlock and led France 1:0.

"Messi is so strong. He simply broke through the entire defense of the French team with his own strength!"

"I feel like Messi is back in his twenties today, and his movement frequency is so fast that he can't defend himself at all!"

"That's right. Kanter is already the world's top midfielder, but he was almost unable to find North by his Crystal Palace teammate Messi."

"I didn't expect Messi would be in such a good state when he arrived at the World Cup final. Chen Ran was really lucky."

"Haha, upstairs, how do you know that Messi's condition was not specially adjusted by Chen Ran?"

"That's it. In the teams coached by Chen Ran, important stars often have outstanding performances in key games, which is not an accident."

"I'll go! No wonder the team coached by Chen Ran always wins the championship in the competition. So that's how it is."

On the sidelines, on the bench of the French team, Deschamps' heart sank immediately when he saw Argentina breaking his own goal so early.

Since losing to Chen Ran in the European Cup final two years ago, he has studied videos of Chen Ran coaching the team in the past two years.

From these game videos, Deschamps was shocked to find that as long as the team led by Chen Ran took the lead in the game, there was almost no record of being reversed by the opponent.

Now, Argentina is the first to score, and an ominous premonition has surged into Deschamps' heart.

After pinching his eyebrows hard, Deshang forced the messy thoughts to suppress them. He immediately got up and walked to the sidelines, and began to shout to his players to increase the intensity of the offense.

After the French team pushed forward the attack, Chen Ran was indifferent, and the Argentina team still maintained the offensive trend after the start of the game.

In this way, Argentina and France actually fought against each other in the World Cup final.

For a moment, the game was played very well and the excitement was so exciting that the fans were excited to watch.

On the sidelines, Chen Ran was as stable as Mount Tai, but Simeone was frightened and couldn't hold back.

"Boss, we have now taken the lead in the score, so there is no need to play against the French team again. It's better to change the tactics to the defensive counterattack we have been using before, and keep the lead until the end of the game."

"Diego, don't worry. In this game, many of our Argentina players are at the peak of their state and are fully confident to play against the French team."

"The French team is now pushing the attack with a big shot, and we can take this opportunity to score one or two more goals and kill the game as soon as possible."

"Well, is the peak of your state you mentioned? Is it the kind you used to be in the Crystal Palace?"

"Yes, it's the same kind as before."

Chen Ran reached out and patted Simeone on the shoulder and smiled meaningfully.

"So that's it. It seems that I'm over-thinking."

As an old man who has followed Chen Ran for many years, Simeone naturally knows Chen Ran’s special abilities.

Now that he heard Chen Ran say this, he felt much more at ease.

Since both teams focus on offense, there are inevitably more loopholes in the defense line.

As the first half was about to end, Di Maria dribbled the ball and broke through along the left line.

On the French side, Mbappe, one of the team's offensive core players, played as the right forward.

Mbappe focused on offense, he just symbolically chased Di Maria for a few steps and gave up defense.

The French team relies on the right side of the defensive midfielder Pogba again.

That's right, like the European Cup final two years ago, Deschamps still placed Pogba as a defensive midfielder.

However, Deschamps obviously specifically reminded Pogba this time.

So Pogba did not focus on offense as before. When Di Maria broke through Mbappe's defense, Pogba immediately made up.

Fighting with the body, the two Di Mariaga are not Pogba's opponents.

However, after using the "First-level Chicken Blood Card", Di Maria, who is at its peak, has no speed and flexibility.

Although Pogba had used his strength to rush to chase Di Maria with his long legs.

However, the distance between him and Di Maria showed no sign of shrinking, but instead went further and further.

Seeing this situation, Pogba had to take out his final killer weapon.

With the risk of fouls and taking a card, he made a flying tackle and shoveled the ball under Di Maria's feet from the side and backwards.

Just as Pogba made his foot, Di Maria seemed to have eyes on her head, and then he jumped up.

Di Maria just hopped away from Pogba's flying shovel.

Pogba slid from Di Maria down on the turf, and after landing, Di Maria dribbled the ball and rushed towards the French team's defense line.

Seeing that Pogba failed to stop Di Maria, France's right-back Paval rushed up to block Di Maria's forward route.

However, before Paval gained a foothold, Di Maria gently used her left foot to thrust the ball through Paval's legs. The ball instantly passed through Paval's legs.

Then Di Maria bypassed Paval and dribbled the ball into the French team's penalty area.

Discovering that the situation was not good, central defender Umtiti had to give up Aguero, who was responsible for his control, and headed out of the penalty area to make up for defense.

Seeing Aguero's absence, Di Maria did not choose to go beyond the crowd this time, but instead made a diagonal pass before Umtiti came to intercept the ball and sent Aguero directly.

Aguero understood it and immediately started and rushed towards the French goal.

Di Maria's passing power and angle were just right, so Aguero didn't need to adjust it. When the ball arrived, he directly shot with a small angle.

"Bang!"

French goalkeeper Lori had already reacted quickly and began to move towards the near post the moment Aguero started.

However, Aguero directly chose to shoot at a small angle without making adjustments, which was far beyond Lori's expectations.

The ball flew straight to the top of the goal like a shell that was released. Lori tried his best but was slowed down half a beat. Finally, he could only watch the ball fly into the net from the junction of the goal post and the crossbar.

“GOAL!!!”

With Di Maria's breakthrough and Aguero's shot, Argentina continued to expand its lead 2:0.

"Damn it! Did Argentina get a collective blood today? Forget Messi's performance alone, but he didn't expect Di Maria and Aguero were not inferior at all. How could the French team play?"

"Who would have thought that Argentina had played so many defensive counterattacks before, but in the World Cup final, it turned out to launch a large-scale attack. Chen Ran, this guy, had deceived the whole world!"

"Hahahahahahaha, this is probably the so-called "soldiers never get tired of cheating"!"

"The French team is in trouble now. The team behind Chen Ran's two goals have basically no hope of turning around."

"Deschamps is so miserable. After the European Cup two years ago, is he going to win another runner-up this time?"

"Hahahahahahahahahaha, it's okay, it's good to get used to this kind of thing. If you don't adapt, I suggest Deschamps can go and chat with Mourinho."

"I'll go! Please be a person from the upper floor!"

"Hahahahahahaha, that's right, I'm taking bamboo shoots!"

When Aguero scored Argentina's second goal, referee Aguilar quickly blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

Without waiting for the players on the field, Deschamps walked straight into the player passage with a dark face.

During the halftime break, Deschamps' roar was deafening in the French locker room, and even the aisle outside could be heard clearly.

Fortunately, after Deschamps vented, he controlled his emotions in time.

He replaced Matuidi with Dembele and moved Mbappe to the left.

The team's formation has changed from the previous 4231 to the current 433.

Giroud serves as center, Mbappe plays left winger, and Dembele plays right winger.

Deschamps made it clear to the French team members that they now have no other way out except for attack.

On Argentina, Chen Ran was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

Therefore, except for letting the players continue to work hard in the second half of the game, he did not make any substitution adjustments.

Before the second half of the game began, when Chen Ran saw that the French team replaced Matuidi with Dembele, he immediately understood that Deschamps was going to fight to the death.

However, since he had decided to adopt the strategy of attacking against attack, Chen Ran had no intention of giving up halfway.

After all, he is very confident about Messi, Di Maria, Aguero and Higuain who have used various system cards.

So, at the beginning of the second half, the two teams continued the attacking scenes of the first half.
To be continued...
