Chapter 409 Restricted Area
"This is really a beautiful defense. The young captain of Mexico, as he said before the game, has played extremely well from the beginning to the present, firmly restricting the world's top center Vieri! We can clearly I found that Marquez has excellent awareness of defensive position selection and a good sense of position. He can often grab the best position at the first time. stable."

When Zambrotta passed the ball to Vieri's feet under the support of Tomasi, the core of Mexico's defense and captain Marquez immediately appeared beside Vieri again like a shadow, which also wanted to Vieri, who turned around, was furious.He didn't take any advantage in the previous few matches, and because of the Mexican, he didn't bring too many substantive threats to the Mexican goal, which made Vieri very annoyed.

But despite this, Vieri still didn't let his emotions control him. After trying again to no avail, he passed the ball again, which also made Marquez, who was eager to try, very regretful.

Marquez trained in the Mexican Atlas Club since he was a child, and was promoted to the first team in 1996. With his stable performance and outstanding talent, Marquez, who was less than 20 years old, quickly occupied the main position in the team. In the summer of 1999, Marquez transferred to the Ligue 600 Monaco team with a worth of [-] million US dollars. This year, the scouts of the Monaco team came to the Copa America to watch the match between Chile and Mexico. Their original inspection target was Chile. Defender Pablo Contreras, but Marquez's performance made them shine, and finally Monaco decided to sign both defenders.

In the first season in Monaco, Marquez played very well. As a defender, he also scored 3 goals for the team. The Monaco team won the 1999/2000 Ligue [-] championship. The best defender in Ligue [-] this season, in the following seasons, Marquez helped Monaco win a French Cup and a French Super Cup.

In his national team career, as early as 1997, Marquez, who was not yet 18 years old, made his national team debut in the match between Mexico and Ecuador, but he was not selected for the 1998 World Cup in France line-up. At the beginning of 1999, Marquez participated in the Lunar New Year Cup match in Hong Kong, China with the Mexican team. In the game against the Egyptian team, his goal helped the Mexican team win 1-0. This was also his first goal for the national team. It was in this year that Marquez won the FIFA Confederations Cup with the team.

Excellent performance and excellent state made it possible for this World Cup in Korea and Japan. The 23-year-old Marquez not only played the main force but also wore the captain's armband. However, his performance was indeed very impressive. The first two games They all helped the team win, making the enemy's sharp offensive come back in vain, and in the direct dialogue with the Italian team, the superstar Vieri did not play his due role.

Under such circumstances, No. 308 minutes, Kenny ushered in the opportunity he wanted.After receiving a pass from Maldini, Kenny relied on his speed to forcefully eat a Mexican midfielder on the left and then dribbled the ball into the left side of Mexico's second half. Such a long-lost feeling made Kenny feel great in a daze.It is reasonable to say that returning to the Italian national team is not a core player. He needs to pay a lot to be able to play successfully. First of all, because the double center system that Italy is good at relies on small-scale ability and the passing of midfielder Totti and others. , so the activity area in this position is not large, and Kenny cannot give full play to his strengths in speed at all.

The second is that although there is a large area of ​​activity in the position of the winger like now, what is sacrificed is the right to fire, because Kenny did not show his strongest side in the Italian national team.Only in the current situation, when neither center forward has made progress, can he have one or two chances to break through and dominate the ball like this.

And now is the time for Kenny to give full play to his advantages. Of course, under his impact, the Mexican team, who hadn't thought of this for a while, had a lot of chaos in the defense. Seeing this scene, Mexican captain Marquez When he had no time to escape, he immediately directed the other two teammates to intercept Kenny.

Amid the crazy shouts of the Italian fans, the Mexican full-back Arellano took the lead to greet Kenny, but Arellano obviously didn't know Kenny very well, and his understanding of Kenny only stayed in the Champions League final and last season. In the first two group matches of this World Cup.

Seeing Kenny, who is not too strong and sprinting fast, he immediately thought of relying on his strong body to dispatch from the inland to push Kenny out of bounds, and complete the interception by squeezing the space for Kenny to move.Having made up his mind, Arellano immediately put his idea into practice, and this not-so-slow player immediately pushed forward, and Kenny's reaction was even more in his expectation, as expected. While slowing down, he kept moving towards the sideline, hoping to distance himself from Arellano.

Seeing such a situation, Arellano was overjoyed, but at the moment when he made an inch and quickly leaned over to use his shoulder to consciously push Kenny again, Kenny tapped the ball lightly with the inner toe of his right foot , and then the whole person turned backwards and immediately pulled his body out, avoiding Arellano's squeeze.

How could Arellano, who was running fast, realize this move?You can imagine what happens when the shoulder suddenly loses its stress point.

Amid the unbelievable exclamations of the Mexican fans, Arellano stumbled and fell off the court, while Kenny sneered in his heart: I don't even know my brother's housekeeping skills, so I came to defend him!
Then he picked up his speed again and cut into the penalty area, and at this time, another defensive player, Mexican defender Videlio, arrived.After seeing his teammates being thrown away by Kenny in embarrassment, the tall and burly Vidriio immediately raised Kenny's threat level to the highest level in his heart. He knew that when he encountered such a player with extremely exquisite foot skills, A central defender like himself is by no means an opponent.

Therefore, Vidrio is very smart and no longer chooses to steal, but chooses to intercept. What he is best at is blocking and intercepting. As long as the shooting space of the Italian is blocked, then he cannot continue to pose a threat!

Sure enough, in the process of cutting inside under such circumstances, Kenny suddenly found that he did not have the opportunity and space to shoot when facing the Mexican central defender. After a small attempt, Kenny had to stop gradually.The shouts of mountains and tsunami spread into Kenny's ears one after another. He could hear the cheers from all the fans. He knew that this offensive would definitely not end like this. After glancing at his side from the corner of the eye, Kenny pretended to break through from the right and suddenly passed the ball across to Totti on the other side.

At the same time, taking advantage of Vidrio's unresponsive response, Kenny did not stop, and he still rushed into the penalty area along the right side of the feigned breakthrough.The sudden change of the situation made it difficult for Vidrio to react for a while. He wanted to stretch out his foot to cut off Kenny's pass at the first moment, but after a slow reaction, he subconsciously chased after the ball , Block Totti.But what annoyed him was that Kenny in front of him rushed straight into his own penalty area. Faced with the choice, Vidrio had no choice but to make an immediate decision and turned around to chase Kenny, allowing Totti to easily get the ball .

"It's fantastic! Kenny is still the fearsome, passionate lightning bolt, and he came to the edge of the box after knocking down the Mexican midfielder Arellano with a very good response! It seems that Vidri O's defense was very tight, and Kenny didn't have a good pass! Kenny cleverly used himself as a bait to focus all the eyes of the Mexican players on him, but when everyone thought When he would continue to break through or look for a chance to shoot, he passed the ball! Passed to Totti's feet!"

"This position is very dangerous. Right now, Totti's front can be called flat! This is definitely the best choice to hit the goal! Obviously the Mexicans are also aware of this, and Torado pressed up and wanted to use it. The body blocked Totti's shot, and Mexican captain Marquez subconsciously stood on the possible route of the ball! Will Totti succeed!?"

"What! What!? Totti kicked the ball into the penalty area after an easy dunk to the right! What is he trying to do!? It's Kenny. It was a blinding through ball and Kenny managed to get the ball in the penalty area! No one can stop him, this is the perfect shot!"

"God!! There was chaos in the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Kenny fell into the penalty area! It is difficult for us to judge what happened through the camera. We need a slow-motion replay! Maybe the Mexican captain Marquez defense!?"

Amid the instant boos from the Italian fans, Mexican goalkeeper Perez kicked the ball out of bounds. At this time, Carlos Simon was surrounded by Italian players. Angrily scolded the Mexican players.This must be a foul!Everyone is thinking this way in their hearts, and they want to get a golden penalty from Carlos Simon even more at this moment. This is undoubtedly a panacea for Italy to bring the dead back to life!
