Godfather of national football

Chapter 293 Battle in Italy ([-])

At the 75th minute of the game, the fans in the Pernambuco Arena were in a commotion, and the vigilance at the scene was high.

Violence on the Brazilian stadium is relatively serious, and it is not uncommon to start a fight when there is a disagreement, but this time the commotion was not due to a conflict, but an unexpected event.

A guard in charge of on-site security reported to his superiors through the walkie-talkie: "The fans at the scene suspect that the big screen is broken."

"why?"

"Because the score in Brazil was still 5-0, they thought it was impossible, so they suspected that the big screen was broken."

The superior almost fell down after hearing this, but the Confederations Cup is such an important game that violence and coercion cannot be used.

"Then let the radio play another game three times, idiot, something as simple as this needs to be nervous."

"Brazil vs Tahiti 5-0, Neymar scored..."

……

……

After the live broadcast was broadcast three times, the commotion at the scene turned into anger unexpectedly, "Fuck, we played against Tahiti for 75 minutes and only scored 5 goals? Luis Scolari, you can get out."

"No wonder that guy named Li Guo made fun of us in Brazil at Global Sports. I'm on his side now. Brazilian football needs a complete change."

"Before the game, I still scolded Sousa Romario, now I want to say sorry to him, maybe the head coach of Brazil should really let you be."

At the scene of another match between Brazil and Tahiti, the fans seemed very quiet. After the opening three strikes, the Brazilian team's offensive routine seemed a bit single. When Tahiti heavily defended Neymar, the Brazilian team's offense was not so smooth.

Scolari on the sidelines was also a little anxious. He also knew the situation of the other game. If it ended with this score, the Brazilian team would be eliminated by a goal difference. That would be a disaster, the biggest disaster in the history of this country.

When people are under unbearable pressure on their backs, they will be abnormal. After Oscar stopped the ball and made a mistake, thunderous boos broke out in the audience.

*****
Prandelli glanced at the big screen from time to time, and it was still 5-0 there, but obviously Italy couldn't pin its fate on Tahiti, which could score at any time.

Finally, Prandelli made a move and used up two substitutions in one breath. Giacherini replaced Montolivo and Shalawi replaced Aquilani.

Putting on two players with speed, Prandelli's tactics became flying on both wings.

It took a while for Italy to adapt after the substitution. The Chinese team seized the opportunity and played a counterattack. When the Italian left back passed the ball to Shalawi, the power of the pass was obviously weak. Shalawi had already started to speed up, but the ball did not keep up.

After stealing the ball, Lin Zhijian broke through directly, taking advantage of the short-term vacuum in Italy's left defense, Lin Zhijian quickly broke through to the bottom line, looked at the middle, the opportunity was great, Chen Gelin was in the front, and Ji Ke was behind.

Lin Zhijian sent a curve ball to the middle, Chen Gelin from the front point feinted a shot, and Ji Ke from the back point shook his head to attack the goal, but when Ji Ke touched the ball, his sense of touch was numb, and he kept thinking: "Am I really going to break Buffon's goal?"

Ji Ke's family is a fan family, so when Ji Ke was still in kindergarten, his father watched the 94 World Cup in the United States with him. Although Ji Ke had forgotten most of the things, the scene of blue Italy was still looming in his mind.

"If I score against Italy, I'll celebrate and then cry," Jico thought.

Ji Ke's header from close range was powerful and heavy, but just as the ball was about to cross the goal line, a pair of Qingtian raised their hands and tried to push it back.

The ball didn't go in!
There was a sigh in the audience, followed by applause. The sigh was instinctive because it was just a little bit close, and the applause was because Buffon's jump was so beautiful.

Ji Ke covered his face, and his gaze stayed on Buffon for a long time, "Damn, I can't even compare to Chen Gelin's luck."

Li Guo was also applauding, but not for Buffon, but for Ji Ke. Ji Ke's sense of smell just now was quite tricky.

*****
A good coach should know himself and his enemy. The weakest part of the current Chinese team is the two full backs, basically no substitutes.

After Italy replaced two fast wingers, the disadvantage of the Chinese team's wing became more and more obvious.

Juventus winger Giacherini is fast and low center of gravity. He made a strong charge on the right and soon got a yellow card for Geng Chong.

On the right side of Italy, many people will think of the one-stop "Panucci" on the right side back then, but now the right side of Italy is Macho from Naples, and assists are his characteristic.

When Giacherini broke through Geng Chong, Macho quickly bypassed the sideline and ran forward, and the left side of the Chinese team was in danger of being torn apart.

Macho made a pass from the bottom, but the ball did not pass to Balotelli in the penalty area, and Marchisio, who was in the arc of the penalty area, at this moment, Zheng Zhi made a kick first.

yellow card!

Zheng Zhi also knew that he would get a card for this ball, but he had to do it, because Zheng Zhi had seen that Shalawi on the other side was in a better position. As long as Marchisio scored the ball to the other side, he might lose the ball now.

Italy got a free kick in a very, very good position. Pirlo stood in front of the ball, and the other teammates consciously moved away. It would be unreasonable for Pirlo not to play the ball.

Several big and tall players of the Chinese team lined up into the human wall. Pirlo's free kick was an elevator ball, so should the human wall take off?

But first of all, the Chinese team will not let the opponent's players squeeze into the wall again. Before the referee blows the whistle, Zhou Dun roughly pushes Shalawi out of the wall.

Everything is ready, the referee blows the whistle.

Pirlo ran towards the ball slowly, slammed the bottom of the ball with his most signature action, the ball roared past Yin Di's header, and then began to fall rapidly.

With a "bang", the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.

The audience sighed again, but this time it was for Italy. Pirlo made a hand gesture to Marchisio, meaning that the ball would be better if it dropped a little bit.

After each side played a good shot, the game fell into a stalemate. Li Guo and Prandelli looked up at the big screen at the same time. Miraculously, it was still 5-0 there.

"I guess Scolari has become an ant on the hot pot," Li Guo thought, but Prandelli still felt that Brazil would still score goals. The score there was unreliable. The only way for Italy to qualify was to win the Chinese team.

To this end, Prand took advantage of the last substitution places, replacing Balotelli with Gilardino.

This should be Italy's last fight.
