The King of Football
Arrive in Sapporo

... ...

When three 'Geng River Plate' players made by Leon, Ortega, and Cambiasso arrived in Sapporo, Japan, the Argentine national team also sent a special car to pick them up to join the national team.

Leon had no idea that, in fact, the mad Bielsa had already picked Argentina's 23-3 squad for the World Cup.

Leon changed history because of his outstanding performances in League A and the Copa Libertadores. Cambiasso, who is still 'teen', and he was selected for Argentina's 23-3 squad for the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. .

Leon replaced Hussain, while Cambiasso replaced the injured Kily Gonzalez before the World Cup...

As per Bielsa's schedule, the Argentina national team will play a friendly against Ivory Coast on August 29 to get information about Nigeria's opponents in the group stage.

Argentina's second warm-up match is against Russia on June 1. After the two warm-up matches, Argentina will prepare for the group stage of the World Cup.

Group death! Unfortunately, as long as he sees group stage opponents Japan and South Korea, Leon is now upset.

...

“Camby, Leon, all of you are newcomers to the national team, so I'll introduce you to the national team mates in a moment, don't worry, as long as you are a River Plate player, then in the national team, don't be afraid of being caught. Bully!” ortega told Cambiasso and Leon, two national team rookies, who sat in the Argentina national team car.

Leon and Camby have no idea what Ortega says, as long as you are a River Plate player, don't be afraid of being bullied in the national team ...

But soon, when they arrive at Argentina's five-star hotel in Sapporo, Leon finds out why Ortega said that.

“Now we finally have a neat row.” When Bielsa saw Leonwell and Cambiasso appear in front of him in good spirits, he also smiled and said to Leon and Camby.

Ortega? He and Bielsa are old acquaintances...

And just after Leon and Camby put down his luggage, Bielsa also took advantage of the opportunity to gather all the national team players.

Ortega also took the opportunity to draw two big rookies Leon and Camby into the crowd.

“Hai guys, looks like you all know about our new teammates! Too bad, that guy Gonzalez was so unlucky that he got injured, baby.” As a veteran of the Argentina national team, Ott Status added the national team locker room no doubt.

Soon, he introduced Leon and Camby one by one to their national teammates.

“This is Boggs, our main goalkeeper!” Ortega smiled and patted Boggs on the shoulder.

The Argentina goalkeeper also smiled and looked at the two newcomers: "You played very well in the final in South America. Nice to meet you, Leon, Esteban."

“This Ayala! Leon, Ayala is your senior!” Ortega also smiled and said after hugging Ayala's old friend.

Ayala smiled and gave a thumbs up to Leon and Cambiasso: "Leonwell, although I am far away in Spain, I have heard your name, the final is very beautiful! I'm looking forward to your appearance."

Next, Ortega introduced Sorin, Matthias Almeida, Placent, and others...

"Okay, Ariel! There is no introduction! I know Leon! Well, what a pity, Gallardo, you said it would be nice to leave River Plate one season later, so that we can witness the greatest moment of River Plate with Done!” As one of the important members of the Argentine national team, Aimar, a handsome Argentine man, immediately came and punched Leon and Cambiasso respectively.

This made Leon and Cambiasso a little flattered...

At this moment, Aimar also whispered to Leon: "Don't worry about Leon, because fourteen players in our national team have played for River Plate, so you and everyone will get along well!"

Fourteen? Leon's eyes widen!

Of course, not everyone looked at Leon well...

For example, the witch Veron, who became famous in Boca, only greeted Leon.

This Argentina national team is not the Argentina national team, but the River Plate All-Star team of the 1990s!

Crespo, Aimar, Gallardo, Caniggia, Bonano, Placenta, Almeida, Sorin, Ayala…

The surviving former River Plate superstar got together!

No wonder Ortega says that Leonwell and Cambiasso can quickly integrate into the national team just based on their status as River Plate players!

Doesn't this make no sense! Everyone plays the same style of football, and it is no surprise that they do not integrate quickly!

“Lionwell, nice to meet you.” Just when Leon was still shocked, Javier Zanetti came and hugged him.

Although Zanetti was not born at River Plate, he has a very good relationship, and he is also an important figure in the Argentina national team, so his right to speak in the national team dressing room is also outstanding.

Barty, the god of war, also had a good first impression of herself. Leon knew that he was a newcomer and a rookie, so he didn't show too much pride and arrogance at lunch, not to mention Cambiasso, he was a model professional player, he was a model professional player, it will not be easy to conflict with a teammate.

At lunchtime, Leon also noticed the unrest in the Argentina national team.

Really not calm!

Because Leon found a big problem with the Argentina national team!

There are as many as 14 players who have played for River Plate, but only Ayala, Sorin and Ortega are the absolute main players!

What is this showing? This suggests that although the number of 'River Plate Gang' is numerous, Bielsa reuses players from other teams.

The problem may seem like a no-brainer, but when Argentina's results are poor, civil strife can quickly ensue.

Why did Veron react so well to himself? Since Veron may not have the same heart as Barty, Leon Weir is a public enemy of Boca!

Even if Veron has a general feeling towards Boca, but in your opinion, watching Leon Weir, a rookie from River Plate, is very arrogant towards the team he plays for, he said, as long as this person had a normal heart, he would be very enthusiastic. Leon. !

The Argentine national team has always been divided into two factions: River Plate and Boca! Argentina also lack a true leader on the pitch since Maradona.

For example, in the history of this World Cup, Argentina used three different captains in three group games.

There is no chaos!

Without leaders, players with senior qualifications are entitled to become leaders.

And when this leader is not the River Plate player with the most people in the Argentina national team, can it be chaotic?

Fourteen former or active players of River Plate, these proportions were simply too unbalanced!

At this moment, Leon suddenly recalled that it seemed that Bielsa's actual reuse of Aimar was in a life-and-death battle in Argentina's group stage. In 2002, the person Bielsa used the most wrongly was undoubtedly Veron ...

This guy was in bad shape since he went to Manchester United, and Aimar was at the peak of his career back then, but Bielsa had to use Veron ...

Due to the status, Veron's status was not comparable to Aimar's.

Bielsa is not a quality manager, he is a good coach, but management is not the best for him.

Argentina went smoothly in qualifying, so the national team was calm.

But once Argentina face a change at the World Cup, the hidden dangers of the national team will all erupt.

After all, this team did not have a true leader!

No one obeys anyone! Argentina like that is definitely not as good as it looks.

After lunch, Bielsa also said at the restaurant: "We will have a meeting with the media this afternoon, Aimar, Leon and Placent, the three of you will come with me, and by the way we'll have a meeting too. To unveil our World Cup uniform."

As the three most handsome in the Argentina national team, Bielsa's decision is not a problem...

But Leon saw from the corner of his eyes that when Bielsa announced his name, the witch Veron turned to the side.

At lunchtime, Leon suddenly felt that the trip to the World Cup might not be as smooth as he had imagined!

“Hey sob, what's up? Get ready, let's go to the press conference with boss.” Aimar's heart is not as tender as Leon's, which is no wonder Aimar, the atmosphere in the Argentina team is very Yes, the contradiction is not provoked.

But Leon knows that Argentina will be knocked out of this World Cup! So when he found all sorts of clues, he had to think more about things that Aimar could not think of.

...

At a press conference that afternoon, Bielsa first announced the Argentina national team roster to the media, followed by Aimar, Placent and Leon Weir to show the Argentina national team World Cup jersey.

Both Aimar and Placent took care of Leon Weir, after all, Leon was their junior younger brother to them.

And the handsome Leon Weir also attracted the attention of many journalists Everyone knows that this is the first genius in Argentina now ...

And he is the top scorer and the best player in the Copa Libertadores this season!

"Rightly deserve to be the favorite to win the championship! I'm afraid that such a genius in the team can only feel the atmosphere of the World Cup!" Many reporters began to sigh with emotion.

“Yes! If there are such players in our country, they will be set as the core!” said a reporter from a small football country.

The championship performance, yes, the Argentine did show the appearance of a champion.

This is an experienced and age-appropriate championship level team.

However, on the first day of arriving in Sapporo, Japan, Leon felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

This feeling made him feel very bad ...
