Jagged Wings

Chapter 137 World Class Midfielder

"Wow, Reyes opened the door for Spain with an unconventional header. A goal to remember, the first World Cup final goal in Spain's history!"

“一米93的马特拉齐在防守1米86的托雷斯，却忽视了1米78的雷耶斯”

After the re-kick-off, Spain seemed to be still in the excitement and did not recover. Xiaofa was thrown away by Pirlo in a blink of an eye, and then he passed directly to the penalty area!
Tony had no way to chase the ball under Pablo's defense, but instead attracted most of Spain's defense.At this time, the right forward Camoranesi took the opportunity to step in and hit the goal before Ramos who was chasing back!
Casillas was so focused that he got down on his knees and caught Scully's shot firmly in his arms.

Because of the existence of Ramos, the shooting angle that Camoranesi can choose is much smaller, so this level of shooting cannot pose a threat to Casillas at all!

Italy is gradually starting to exert its strength!

Xiaofa found that Pirlo became very difficult to defend. He couldn't guess what Pirlo wanted to do next. He often made himself nervous with a simple action.

Is this the experience?Is this what I'm missing?
Xiaofa remembered that he had experienced this feeling in Vieira, but at that time Vieira had already started to decline, and then until the two matches in the Champions League and the World Cup, Vieira, who was in a declining state, was under his own hands Being defeated gave me the illusion that I had surpassed him.

But now confronting Pirlo, let him understand that he is still far behind!
"Maybe I'm still far from a world-class star!"

Pirlo and Totti played a two-for-one cooperation, and then took a long shot 21 meters away without stopping the ball!

Casillas was a little underprepared for this ball. After all, he is not a robot. He can fully maintain a high degree of concentration within 90 minutes. He missed this long shot with his feet on the ground!

The Italian commentator was about to shout "GOAL", only to find that the football hit the outside of the goal post and popped out of the baseline.

There was a loud sigh from the stands.At the same time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

At the end of the first half, Spain temporarily led Italy 20-1 with a rare header from Reyes in No.0 two minutes.

************
From the outside, everything seems so smooth, but in the Spanish dressing room is another scene.

Reyes was panting heavily. The constant turning back and sprinting on the wing in the first half consumed most of his physical strength. He didn't know if he would have enough physical strength to run in the second half.

Ramos is lying there, the team doctor is massaging his right leg, only half of the game time, he actually has cramps...

Torres also rubbed his blue shoulders. In the first half, he had too much physical contact with Materazzi!

Seven games in 30 days, this density caused more or less physical problems for the players.Coupled with the frenzied attacking, counter-robbing, re-attacking, and counter-robbing in the first half... Although this kind of energy-intensive play gave Spain the lead in the first half, it also planted dangerous seeds for the second half.Once the physical strength is exhausted at the last moment of the second half, it is very possible to be tied or even surpassed in an instant.

Aragones' face was not very good. He deliberately let the team attack violently in the first half, just to get a big enough lead in the first half, but now he only scored one goal, which is obviously not what Aragones expected on the contrary……

For Spain, 1:0 is not a safe score, their defense is not as solid as West Italy.

"You performed very well in the first half, guys!" Aragones clapped his hands and signaled everyone to concentrate: "I know you are very tired. You just finished an overtime game and a penalty shootout three days ago. But that's not why we throw in the towel! 45 minutes to go, champions! We are champions!"

The exhausted players were refreshed one by one.Yes, there is still half time left, if you give up now, what will be the result?lose!regret! !

Isn't it just another 45 minutes?The first 45 minutes have passed, and you are afraid that the other party will fail?

"In the second half, we still used the wing and speed to deal with them, attacking at the beginning, don't give Italy a chance to recover! Grit your teeth and stick to it. When the game is over, I will give you a holiday!"

********
"Spain still attacked with all their strength at the beginning of the second half, and every player was running tirelessly! They seemed to want to grab points from Italy! Very bold style of play, but is there no problem with their physical strength?" Maria said worriedly.

It can be seen that after a 15-minute short break, the Spanish players can still support their physical strength and can still use their speed to put pressure on Italy.

Lippi frowned, he didn't understand: "Is this the Spanish style of play? Are they desperate?"

Reyes cut in with the ball and saw that his teammates were not following, so he suddenly shot a long shot. The football suddenly fell in front of Buffon and bounced a bit, which made him unable to react in time. Seeing that the football was about to enter the goal from behind him , but saw a blue figure flying forward, driving the football big foot out of the penalty area.

"Groso kicked Fafa's shot almost on the goal line! What a pity! If this goal is scored, Spain will probably lead 2-0!"

Seeing that the ball missed, Reyes turned around and ran without saying a word. He didn't want to waste time and energy on posing.Besides, this big foot directly caused Italy's counterattack.

************
In the 607th minute, Reyes made a pass from the left, and Villa stabbed ahead, but was saved by Buffon.Reyes, who tried his best to pass the ball, no longer had the strength to stand up, and just lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Zambrotta took the ball away from him, and Xiaofa could only give up Pirlo to make up for the defense on the left.Without a moment's hesitation, Zambrotta passed the ball to Cannavaro, who was parallel to him, and Cannavaro passed it to Pirlo.

Pirlo lightly broke through Harvey's defense, and then unexpectedly raised the football with his toes, crossing the French defense and the entire Spanish defense line. Tony stepped in to catch the ball, forming a one-handed trend.

Casillas saved Toni's one-handed goal on the penalty line, but Totti appeared like a ghost, passed Casillas and scored the ball into the empty goal!
"goooooooooooooooal! Goal!"

"Italy scored, score 1:1!"

The entire Italian stands were boiling, and Italian President Napolitano stood up and applauded with a smile, happy for Jin Qiuer of his team.

Aragones glanced nervously at the watch on his wrist. There are still 15 minutes, and now Italy's offensive is getting more and more fierce.Spain has seven or eight minutes without a decent shot.

"Iniesta, Joaquin, Raul, go to warm up, I will call you back!"

After 5 minutes, the three came on the field, replacing Torres, Senna and Harvey respectively. Torres did not perform to his due level; Senna was a defensive player and did not help the offense; Harvey had just recovered from his injury and could not persist Too long game.

Torres covered his head with a towel, sat on a chair, and clenched his hands into fists: Damn it!At the critical moment, I was the first person to come down!
Damn!
After Raul came on the field, he conveyed the meaning of Aragones to everyone. Spain's defense was indeed much more concise, taking completely destructive defensive actions.

Replaced with fresh blood, Spain's offense took another turn for the better. Italy knew that its defense would be severely tested if it continued to attack like this, so it also began to withdraw.

Reyes tried hard to recall Zidane's penalty kick in the World Cup final in his memory, but found that after changing his opponent, Italy's own style of play also changed, everything was different from his memory, and he couldn't find it. That chance to get a penalty kick.

In the next 4 minutes of the game plus injury time, the two sides played very flatly, and did not fight as hard as some people thought, and the climaxes continued.There is a tacit understanding in the hearts of the two sides: save some energy to fight in overtime, winning or losing is the last three 10 minutes.

After the 10-minute final whistle sounded, players from both sides fell directly on the court to rest, and they will stand up and continue fighting after 5 minutes.

Aragones, who yelled on the sidelines for 90 minutes, is still yelling: "Listen everyone, remember this is your most important game, and don't give up until the end of the game! Well, it's time! Get up Let's go! Go to the game!" Aragones waved his hands like a duck to get the players to stand up and move around a little to avoid cramps.

With the start of overtime, even the fans in the stands who yelled for 10 minutes were a little tired, let alone the players on the field?

The high temperature in the first half of the game exacerbated their physical exertion, especially Spain.Now it seems that many players can no longer run.But they are still gritting their teeth and insisting.On the other hand, the Italian team, which had an extra day of rest, had much better physical strength, so in the first half of overtime, Italy still played against Spain!

Both sides gave up the competition in the midfield, and all offense and defense were carried out in the two penalty areas!
Iniesta tried to overtake Gattuso, who ran all over the game, but Gattuso, who was full of fighting spirit, intercepted the ball with a fierce tackle, and then passed it to Pirlo, who took the ball diagonally to the side Camoranesi on the road, but Puyol, who returned to defense, cleared the ball out of the baseline first.

Corner kick for Italy!

Pirlo went to the corner to take a corner kick, and Reyes changed his expression and ran back from the frontcourt.

"Italy's corner kick opportunity, this is one of the few opportunities they have left. Spain obviously attaches great importance to it. Even Reyes drove into the penalty area to defend!"

Pirlo took a corner kick, and Reyes ran to defend Materazzi. The opponent was nearly [-] centimeters taller than him, which was obviously too big.

But Reyes still took off close to Materazzi. Although he couldn't get the ball, under his interference, Materazzi missed the ball!
Casillas didn't hit the ball too far, and Pirlo hit the ball from a long shot from the penalty area line.Casillas has lost his position, unable to recover, the football hit the top left corner of the crossbar and bounced into the goal!

2:1!Italy reversed!
Casillas remained lying on the ground, staring blankly at the ball in the goal.

Pirlo, who scored the goal, was no longer calm and calm before. He roared and lifted his jersey to celebrate. Behind him were the stunned Spanish players!
