Chapter 568 Chapter [001] - Go to the national team - [Today's first update]

After the UEFA Champions League final and the final celebration, Xu Zhou had no time to rest, and he had to fly non-stop to Milan, Italy, to have a round with the national team.This year is the World Cup year, there is no way, who is Xu Zhou the hottest player this year?If the Italian national team does not recruit Xu Zhou into the team, Lippi and the Italian Football Association will definitely receive death threats from Italian fans and fans all over the world!

Xu Zhou missed the 21 Confederations Cup because of the U2009 European Cup, so he missed the joint training and familiarization with the Italian national team. Although during this year, Xu Zhou was occasionally selected for the Italian national team, but these were all irregular Italian national teams. Therefore, he rarely practiced with the players of the Italian national team.
Of course, for the fans, a super player like Xu Zhou, a superstar who scored [-] or [-] goals in a season, should be the main force wherever he goes, so there is no need to think about it.However, for the head coach of a team, he can't think so one-sidedly. He has to consider a lot of issues. He has to consider whether the player is suitable for the team's tactics, the degree of tacit understanding with his teammates, and other miscellaneous reasons.

What the fans see is a player, and what the head coach sees is a team. Not all excellent players can win the game when they play together. Real Madrid's Galacticos [-] and [-] is a very good proof for winning the final championship!
Therefore, when the Italian media was making high-profile publicity, the pressure on the team's head coach Lippi was very high, and he was also a relatively conservative head coach. Since the end of his 06 World Cup, he still played with the team of the national team that was too old to move in the 06 World Cup.

Although Lippi's Italian national team occasionally recruits young players and seems to be undergoing a transition from old to new, the Silver Fox still does not boldly use new players. Compared with new players, he believes in the players who are proud of Germany with him.Italy is not without the emergence of young talents, Montelivo, Giovinco, Marchisio, Pepe, Acquafresca, Xu Zhou, Balotelli...

It can be seen that Lippi is a very conservative person. From the roster of Italy for the World Cup, you can see that he has not made much change. The central axis is still the team from 2006. It can be said that almost all of them are from 2006. Only a few new faces have been changed, and Xu Zhou is among them!

Although this is the case, Italian fans are still full of confidence in Italy’s World Cup trip. They believe that under the leadership of the world champion coach, the World Cup champion team will successfully defend the title. In the eyes of Italian fans, this Italian national team is stronger than the Italian national team in 2006. They firmly believe that the Italian national team can win the championship!

It is not the first time that Xu Zhou has been selected for the Italian national team. When he came to the team to sign up, Xu Zhou was much later than others. The Italian national team has already started training for a while. In two days, the Italian national team will play a friendly match with the Swedish national team in Milan. After the friendly match, the Italian national team will head to South Africa!

Due to the late training with the team, Lippi clearly told Xu Zhou that he will not start in this game.Xu Zhou thinks it's nothing. He's been very busy recently, so it's good to have a rest!

Sweden is very tragic this time. They did not enter the top 32 of the World Cup. They missed the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. This is very regrettable for Zlatan Ibrahimovic!
2010 6 Month 1 Day.

The friendly match between Italy and Sweden officially started, Lippi did not line up all the main players today, Xu Zhou did not start, he sat on the bench.

At the beginning of the game, the Italian team did not rush to attack.Put on a defensive posture, a posture of defensive counterattack.On the contrary, the Swedish team played more proactively. Under the leadership of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Swedish team launched a fierce attack, frequently threatening Italy's goal.

But the good thing is that Italy's defense is very good. Although they haven't practiced together for a long time, their tacit understanding is still there, and they easily resolved the Swedish team's offense.Lippi off the court nodded frequently, but the fans on the scene quit.You went to South Africa for the championship. If you can't even score a goal, what are you talking about about the championship?

Therefore, the fans at the scene shouted quickly, hoping that the team could attack, score as soon as possible, and show off their offensive ability.However, the Italian team has not changed because of the fans' demands, they are still the same.This caused the Swedish team a headache. Now they can hardly get in. They can only choose a 45-degree diagonal pass to the penalty area, or directly kick the ball from the side.However, heading the ball is not Ibrahimovic's strong point, so the Swedish team did not substantially threaten the Italian team's defense.

In this way, the Italian team gradually gained a firm foothold and began to press outward slowly, attack slowly, and slowly devour the midfield.Soon, the Italian team's offense also rose, and the two frequently launched attacks. Tony and Gilardino on the front line frequently bombed the Italian team.However, the good thing is that the opponent's goalkeeper performed very calmly and tried his best to keep the goal.

In the first half, the two teams came and went, very busy.Gradually, the audience on the sidelines watched with great joy, and the momentum gradually increased, and the atmosphere of the whole stadium became hot all at once.

And it was at this time that the Italian team lost the ball.

Sweden unleashed a quick counter-attack, with a goal from their leading striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to open the scoreline.

The Italian team took a corner kick and the ball flew to the center at high speed.Tony and Gilardino quickly squeezed to grab points, and the opponent's defenders also crowded quickly, competing for headers.However, it was the Swedish goalkeeper who got the ball. He jumped high and kicked the ball out of the penalty area above Gilardino's head.The Swedish winger outside the penalty area received the ball and then quickly passed the ball to the forward striker Ibrahimovic.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic sprinted towards the Italian half like a tank with a Ferrari engine.The Italian defender rushed forward, and Ibrahimovic flicked briefly, and then quickly passed the midfield. After crossing the middle circle, Ibrahimovic suddenly attacked, and he shot directly from there.

The ball flew towards the goal like lightning, and Buffon quickly returned to the defense. Seeing the ball coming, he jumped up quickly, hoping to touch the ball.However, the reality is cruel, the ball quickly passed his hands and flew into the goal, 0:1.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL..." the Swedish commentator roared loudly, amplified his voice into the microphone, and stimulated the ears of the Italian fans, "Ibrahimovic...Ibrahimovic...In the 42nd minute of the first half, Ibrahimovic scored a goal for the Swedish team, leading the Italian team!"

Next, the Italian team launched a fierce attack in the second half of the first half, hoping to regain the score, but failed.The first half of the game ended with Sweden leading 1:0. The players of both sides returned to the locker room to listen to the coach's midfield deployment.

15 minutes was very short and passed in the blink of an eye. Lippi made a substitution as soon as the second half started and Xu Zhou came on.Xu Zhou came out wearing the No. 7 jersey of the Italian team. Seeing Xu Zhou's appearance on the field, the atmosphere on the scene became hot. This season's super scorer king appeared on the field, and the Italian fans cheered for Xu Zhou crazily!Xu Zhou also quickly responded to the applause of the fans, and Xu Zhou had a chance to get the ball as soon as he played.

Pirno passed the ball to Xu Zhou on the wing. After Xu Zhou received the ball, the opponent's winger rushed up quickly. Xu Zhou took advantage of the trend and pushed the ball forward.Xu Zhou speeded up suddenly and passed by the opponent, breaking through the opponent.After the breakthrough, Lin Tianyu continued to dribble forward and launched an offensive to the opponent's left.

Xu Zhou dribbled the ball quickly, and the opponent's full-back obviously knew that he couldn't keep up with Xu Zhou's speed.Therefore, the opponent wisely chose the route of blocking the inside cut and put it down.Xu Zhou understood the opponent's intentions, Xu Zhou didn't choose to cut in at all, and went straight to the bottom.Throwing away the defense, and then quickly kicking the ball, the ball quickly flew into the penalty area.

Tony quickly followed up in the middle. Seeing the ball coming, he leaned his body against the opponent's defender, jumped high, then quickly twisted his waist, swung his head, and gave a lion shake in the air.The position was accurate, and the ball quickly flew to the upper left corner of the goal.The opponent's goalkeeper subconsciously jumped into the air, but the ball was too fast, and the ball flew into the upper left corner of the goal, 1:1.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL..." The Italian commentator on the scene roared wildly, as if exhausting all the strength in his body, he kept shouting and roaring, "Luka... Tony... a powerful header broke the goal of the Swedish team. 1:1, the two sides returned to the same starting line!"

After scoring the goal, Tony quickly ran to the edge of the court, and at the same time he waved his left hand inaudibly in his ear, signaling the fans to continue shouting, so that he could hear the voices of the fans.The Italian fans all knew what Tony's action meant, so the fans cheered more businessably, cheering for Tony.

At the same time, they also cheered for Xu Zhou. After all, he had just played and had the ball for the first time after playing. He broke through the Swedish team's defense and assisted Tony to break the Swedish team's goal.It can be seen from this that Xu Zhou is in good condition recently, which is very good news for the Italian team. All the fans stood up and applauded Xu Zhou and Tony.
