Argentina and England are set to face each other in the World Cup semifinal, with Argentina reportedly developing a detailed tactical plan to counter England’s midfield strength. According to Argentine sports outlet TyC Sports and analyst Bruno Di Stefano, the key to stopping England lies in neutralizing defensive midfielder Declan Rice, who is seen as the central link in England’s build-up play.
The analysis suggests that applying high pressure on Rice when he receives the ball under pressure or with his back to goal could disrupt England’s rhythm. Forcing England into long passes would break their usual smooth midfield transitions, reducing the effectiveness of attackers like Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham. The strategy also emphasizes early aggression, quick wing play from defenders Nahuel Molina and Nicolás Tagliafico, and exploiting England’s potential fatigue from a long tournament.
Di Stefano concludes that rather than directly marking Kane or Bellingham, cutting off their supply through Rice would be Argentina’s best chance to secure a spot in the final.
