Chapter 412 Italy in the second half

"Inzaghi made a sudden push from a small angle, and he almost succeeded! Wow, it was so thrilling! I think the Mexican fans almost stopped breathing for a moment, because the ball was caught by the Mexican goalkeeper. The moment Perez was sealed off, I could clearly feel the breath of relief coming from the entire Oita Sports Park General Arena!"

"But at this time, the Italian fans are tightening their hearts again. Not only the 1 Italian fans here, but also in the Apennine Peninsula, people there must also be staying up all night watching this Italian team. An important qualifying game! After the start of the second half, the Italians once again showed their sharp attack and momentum, but it seems that every time they fall short!"

Amid the exclamations of the commentators, Inzaghi sighed towards the sky, and then immediately adjusted his mood and state, ready to invest in the next attack.Just now after Totti got the ball in the midfield, he passed the ball to Inzaghi's feet concealedly, but this extremely exquisite pass and Inzaghi's powerful push were blocked by the Mexican goalkeeper. Perez blocked it.

The helpless Italian players regretted seeing this scene, and at the same time, they could only re-invest in the new offense and defense. Fortunately, this time the Mexican's short pass was suddenly returned by Zambrotta on the wing. The anti-flank was intercepted, so the Italians were able to launch a quick counterattack.

In 7 minutes, Zambrotta broke the ball and sent it to Totti's feet. Facing the desperate attack of the Mexican defender, Totti leaned towards the right wing with a false intention, and after a feint shot, he suddenly shot a cross The pass passed the ball to Kenny on the other side.This sudden cross made the Mexican players startled, but Kenny had been waiting for a long time.

After taking the ball, Kenny immediately showed his speed on the left wing without the slightest sloppiness. After breaking through a Mexican player again, he came to the edge of the penalty area. At this time, most of the Italian players gathered in the center and right wing. It was one of the adjustments coach Zoff made during the halftime break.After Kenny showed his breakthrough power again, he immediately made up his mind to leave enough space for Kenny to make a breakthrough.

What Italy lacks today is such a rapid impact. There is Vieri for small-scale breakthroughs and positional warfare, Inzaghi for fatal blows, and Totti for long-range shots. Now Zoff's purpose is very simple, that is Let Italy have one more dreadful thing.Of course, this was Zoff's determination to order after Kenny showed that he could still have breakthrough power at the full-back position in the first half.

After wading through Luna, Kenny was naturally intercepted by the Mexicans, but in this position he attracted a large number of Mexicans.It has to be said that the Mexicans are not only very smooth and threatening in offense, but they are also remarkable in defense. After their captain Marquez firmly defended Vieri, the rest of the central defenders and midfielders stood up. The positions are all very essence, and for a while, Kenny couldn't find his chance to shoot.

Under such circumstances, Kenny immediately passed the ball high and passed it to Totti who was following up again. At this time, the Roman prince can be said to be the most important and most desperate person in the Italian team.

In an interview before the start of the game, Totti told reporters categorically: "All of us are in agreement that we will enter the top 16, and we are not thinking about losing this game. I said we may lose, but the opponent Not as strong as we thought, I don't think Mexico can do it, they can't do it yet."

"We will not repeat the mistakes of the French team and Argentina. Without the French team, the championship is ours. If we perform well, we will definitely win this game. I am responsible for what I say."

Such words not only surprised the media, but also surprised the Italian generals on one side. Everyone could clearly feel Totti's self-confidence in the words, and he seemed a bit overconfident.But what you need to know is that after the defeat with the Croatian team, the Italian team has been under great pressure, especially the midfielder has been criticized.

After the victory in the first game against Ecuador, all Italian media reported that this World Cup belonged to Italy and belonged to Prince Totti of Rome. It doesn't matter if we don't need it."

Perhaps this feeling like a boat sailing in a storm can only be experienced by Totti who is in the whirlpool. When Kenny wanted to comfort his friend, Totti said relaxedly: "Lo Reece, you know, I hope that I will appear as a protagonist in the World Cup, and I am not afraid of the pressure. I have to take on a little more responsibility this time than on the field. This time, Mr. Zoff put me in the World Cup The position of the midfield organization, so I have to think more about the way of attack. Anyway, I will try my best to pass the ball to the two forwards, and of course you. Don’t worry, our Italian team will definitely make great strides this time of."

At this time, Kenny understood Totti's situation very well. As the core midfielder of this generation in Italy, Totti received more attention and support than all other midfielders in the same period. People's expectations for him are too high Yes, blowing wildly when you win, and stomping hard when you lose are almost everyone's common problems.

"Kenney passed the ball back to Totti again. The tacit understanding between the two is really high! However, Mexican defender Vidrio noticed Kenny's intention to pass the ball, and he rushed up one step ahead of time. Almost top-level defensive awareness! How will Totti respond? If he hesitates a little bit when taking the ball, he may lose the player, which is absolutely fatal for the Italian who presses heavily!"

"Ah!? Totti actually had the idea of ​​​​the next step at the moment Kenny passed the ball. He immediately passed the ball to Inzaghi in the penalty area. This is a leaky position! Inzaghi is placed in the When did he get rid of the defender! He caught the ball and turned around in one go, facing the Mexican goalkeeper Perez and pushing the far corner of the goal again!"

"Goal!!!! This is an exquisite match. Wait a minute, the line referee from Malaysia blew his whistle, and he signaled that the ball was offside! At the same time, the referee Carlos Simon also signaled after a short communication The ball is invalid!"

"This move can be said to have caused a thousand waves with one stone! The move of the Italian players was a bit too aggressive this time. We saw that the captain Maldini, Totti and Kenny were almost head-to-head with the referee Carlos Simon. The hair roared, and the rest of the players rushed forward! Inzaghi, who scored the goal, immediately argued with the line referee after a short period of disbelief! No matter what the result is, we hope that the Italian players can keep up Restraint, we can feel and understand the anger in their hearts, but it must be mentioned that Maldini and Kenny have already received a yellow card before, if they receive another yellow card at this time, it will accumulate as a red card It will be a fatal blow!"

After the penalty kick in the first half was blown off by the referee Carlos Simon, the Italian players were very angry in their hearts, especially when Zambrotta and others talked about how they were punished when they were in the Olympic team. After the referee's unfair penalty, and this time a goal was blown off is even more unacceptable.The Italian fans in the stands also uttered insults and roars desperately. How can such a game be accepted?
However, under such circumstances, the slow-motion footage seen on the big screen is a bit embarrassing. It turned out that when Totti passed the ball, although Inzaghi was inserted in the middle, he was not offside, but Vieri on the left But he was in an offside position, and he did interfere with the defense of the Mexican team, so there is no dispute that the ball was called offside.
"Oh, it turned out to be Vieri. It was his desire to attack that made the ball short! It is clearly pointed out in the football competition rules that the player who is in an offside position, the moment the teammate kicks or touches the ball, the referee thinks When it interferes with the defense of the opposing player and makes the game more profitable for the attacking side, it will be judged as offside!"

"I don't think the Italian players would have thought that they would lose this goal in such a way! Fortunately, the referee Carlos Simon did not give the Italian players who collided with him this time. Penalty! The game restarts after a brief pause, this time with a goal kick from Mexico goalkeeper Pérez!"

Faced with the invalid goal this time, the Italian players wanted to cry without tears. Although Vieri was also very tearless, everyone knew that Vieri could not be blamed for this. Eli's actions are as they should be.It's just that under normal circumstances, the ball will not be whistled, but if the referee really wants to be serious, you can't help it.
No.609 minutes, Mexican midfielder Morales pushed the ball to the edge of the Italian side's penalty area in consecutive short passes. It is conceivable what would be brought to him by making such a provocative behavior under such circumstances.In Tomasi's outrageous counter-robbery, Morales was knocked to the ground hard.

The game fell into dispute again for a while, and in the end Tomasi did not get a yellow card, while the Mexican got a very good set kick and was taken by striker Blanco.
