our euro cup

Chapter 44

"It's not your turn to play yet, you will have time to perform, Chuso Wigginstic."

Bilic said lightly.He didn't seem to care about being scored by the Italian.Although this meant that he had to direct the Croatian team to play.Isn't this style of play right in the hands of the Italian team, which is good at defensive counterattacks?In case of a counterattack by the Italians, it will really be over.

"Coach, now that we are behind, do we really not want to adjust the lineup?" I was eager to fight, and asked this sentence out of taboo——

"What you need now is calmness!" Bilic said with an accentuated tone.He seemed really a little annoyed.He usually never gets angry easily, but this time he even got a little angry, which was enough to scare me too much to make a sound.

Vader and several substitute players looked at me with sympathy.I gritted my teeth and sat down angrily.The Croatian team is behind, and I am so anxious!

However, Bilic has no intention of adjusting the lineup.Not only that, he didn't even intend to stand up and command.At this time, you can still sit on the coaching bench. Bilic's demeanor is not what ordinary coaches can have... But now we are already behind, and now it is obvious that the midfielder has lost power in the competition for the high ball. If we don't make changes, Who will fight for our first point?

……

The referee blew his whistle and kicked off.Rakitic passes the ball to Modric, Modric dribbles forward and Pirlo strikes again.He followed Modric's footsteps, and his posture seemed to be a fight with Modric!

"Pirlo, I'm not afraid of you!"

Modric stepped up!After all, he is young, not as old as Pirlo. Although his long-distance running is so-so, his instantaneous speed is not bad. Pirlo was quickly thrown away, but he did not give up and still followed closely!

At this moment, Mota rushed over again!

This 1.8-meter-seven stout man has outstanding physical conditions, and his thick muscles are unmatched by Modric!Motta blocked Modric's dribbling line, and Pirlo chased after Modric, virtually cutting off Modric's back!Back and forth pincer attack, what to do!
"We must not let you get the ball!" Modric kicked a pass, and the ball drew an arc and flew out from Mota's head!
20 meters away, Rakitic stopped the ball with his chest!
This cooperation is really just right, Modric's pick pass, Rakitic's chest stop, all in one go!Then Rakitic took the ball under his feet and rushed forward!He observed the positions of Mandzukic and Jelavic on the forward line, and made another pass——

Mandzukic chests the ball, he parks it high!

After all, Italy's back line is experienced in many battles. Barzagli didn't like it, so he rushed forward to block it!

Mandzukic has a barb shot!

Barzagli face defense!

"Crack!" The ball hit Barzali's face and bounced out!
The defense of the Italians is really well-deserved. Their concrete defense line built with iron and blood is the basis for the Italian team to win the World Cup for so many years.Although the current Italian team no longer has the strength to win the championship, but the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and their defensive ability is still the top in the world, there is no doubt about it.What's more, the European Cup is a game with unpopular genes. Denmark in 1992 and Greece in 2004, these teams did not have the strength to win the championship, but they all relied on united defense to miraculously win the championship. Champion of the European Cup.The inheritance of Italy's defensive system has now been passed on to the generation of Barzagli and Chiellini. Although there are no absolute superstars like Cannavaro and Nesta back then, each of these people is still world-class The combination of so many defensive masters, that is another line of defense in the world.

Can our offense really penetrate Italy's concrete defense line...

……

The ball bounced off Barzagli's face and Perisic was next to get it.Perisic chose another way of attack-breakthrough.He has great speed and takes the ball from the center to the left.Bonucci is following him like a shadow. Although Bonucci is not dominant in terms of absolute speed, he is stuck in the best defensive position. Although Perisic is in control of the ball, he cannot successfully cut inside!

At this time, captain Srna leaned from the right to the center and shouted loudly: "Perisic, give me the ball!"

Perisic saw that the captain wanted the ball in the middle, so he made a fake stop and dunked the ball back. Bonucci had already guarded against his move and turned around to block the ball. Perisic made a pass and the ball It hit Bonucci's ankle and bounced off the touchline.

Throw-in for Croatia!Our captain Srna has super physical strength, and his throw-in grenade attack is our common offensive method!At this time, the Italians also held their breath and dealt with it carefully. Their coach Prandelli was the meritorious coach who led the Violet Corps Florence, which was not powerful in the post-Batistuta era, to qualify for the Champions League twice. In terms of coaching, he has amazing diligence. His intelligence network covers Vientiane, and also includes research on our captain Srna's "grenade throw-in".Before Srna threw the ball, the tall players of the Italian team basically retreated to the penalty area, while the fast and flexible players were wandering around the perimeter, ready to harass our receivers at any time.When Srna saw that Italy's defense was so tight, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes...

He started running, full speed, throwing the ball hard!

The ball really whizzed past like a grenade!Fly towards the restricted area!

The flight path of this ball is flat and straight, very much like the trajectory of a free kick!This ball is very suitable for headers!
Mandzukic!He jumps high!

Jelavic also jumped up high!
At the same time, the Italian defenders - Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini, etc. also took off!Including the midfielder Mota, is also trying to jump to make a clearance!

Who can grab this ball!

Mandzukic!He jumps higher!He gently rubbed his head back, and the ball was rubbed in the direction of Jelavic!
But Jelavitch jumped too soon!
At this time, Jelavic's body had already started to fall...

Motta won the header, he used a strong head to push the ball out...

Another wave of our attack has failed...
