Argentina - Nigeria: Maradona against Lagerbäck

Initially, it seemed that all the "trump card" in the hands of Don Diego. But the game showed that trumps the Argentine is not so much.








While Maradona (Diego Maradona) coached the national team for quite a long time, Lars Lagerbäck (Lars Lagerback) led the Nigerian team a few months ago. However, the Swede created a very battle-worthy team. This confirmed the match.





All observers and critics felt that Maradona's only one problem - how to put the most players to the game with a capital letter. Here are just names for some reason, the game is almost not affected, except for Leo Messi (Lionel Messi). The Argentine took part in almost every attack commands and executed a huge amount of useful work in the field.







But one opornik, represented Mascherano has shown that with the option time to tie. Or, in a pinch, just score more - than to miss :)

Argentina started the match very brightly, and the very first minute had to open an account. But no luck. He dumped the ball from his feet and walked past the gate. The goal did not wait longer than six minutes. It Gabriel Heinze (Gabriel Heinze), after the filing of Verona (Veron) from a corner, was the first on the ball, and clearly headed the ball into the goal Eneyamy.















Argentines immediately "slow down" and started playing football sluggish. Despite a certain laziness in the actions of the Argentina national team players, the moments at the gates of Nigerians emerged with a clear frequency.



The game has leveled off a bit, and even Africans really threatened the gates of Romero. But sometimes players lacked precision and sometimes brilliant game keeper showed the South Americans.



The second half was the same relatively quiet way. Argentina did not insist on the continuation of scoring extravaganza, Nigeria and just could not do anything. Clawed win one of the tournament favorites with a minimum score is does not mean anything. Although defensive redoubts Argentines observed real nesygrannost.
