football superstar

Buffon's pupils shrunk and looked at Ronaldo who was rushing forward, and the Italian goalkeeper felt a little tired.

He is very good. Since he became the starting goalkeeper of Italy, Buffon has been one of the best goalkeepers in Italy. He has guarded the goal for the Italian national team for many, many years.Before this game, Italy broke through the group stage with difficulty. The second place in the group is bound to meet the first place in other groups. This is also destined to be a difficult competition.

Does Italy have the ability to break through now?The answer is yes, the defense is just to set up a fence to stabilize one's own defense line, and the fist that is really swung out lies in the quick counterattack cooperation of the midfielder and frontcourt.

The precondition for a good anti-counterattack is that the opponent has a lot of possession, so that the team can create a lot of opportunities by pressing near the midfield. But now since the second half, Portugal has not used the midfield organization at all. Frequently create murderous intentions!

Even if Buffon is a god, it will be tiring.

The feeling that his body couldn't keep up with his consciousness became more and more intense. Buffon poked the ball with his fingertips when he gritted his teeth and threw it out, and lifted the ball out of the goal frame for a corner kick.

Italy was relieved by the failure of the shot this time. Ronaldo didn't feel too depressed. After all, he had been unable to score repeatedly for such a long time. If he was depressed, he would have been depressed just now. Ronaldo just looked at Buffon who stood up from the ground and clapped his hands to encourage his teammates, blinked his eyes, turned his head and gestured to Clemens in the backcourt.

Well done. Cristiano Ronaldo gave praise without hesitation.

Clemens nodded, and calmly pulled the Velcro on the glove.

After the corner kick was taken, it did not pose a threat. Balotelli, who retreated to interfere in the penalty area, grabbed the first spot and handed it over to Pirlo's feet. Unfortunately, Balotelli, who was in the front as a single arrow, was already deeply trapped. There was no way to run forward in his own penalty area for the time being, and Pirlo lost the opportunity to send the ball out. He wanted to wait for Balotelli to come forward but was double-teamed by Portuguese and snatched the ball away!

Although holding high and playing high, the strategy of counter-robbing on the spot remains unchanged, but now after counter-robbing, it is not to put troops into the entanglement with Italy, but to choose a long pass or knock back to let Clemens make a long pass. Start the attack.

In 5 minutes, Clemens initiated a long pass to find Nelson, but Nelson's shot was destroyed by Pirlo who retreated to defend.

In 9 minutes, the Portuguese team made a comeback. This time it was Pepe who instigated the attack. Pepe, who had been camping in the backcourt without much forward momentum, handed the ball to Joao Pereira. The ball was interfered by Balotelli in the middle. Flying up, Pepe had no choice but to kick the ball forward with a big kick, and it landed at Ronaldo's feet impartially! Ronaldo directly kicked the goal, but Buffon jumped up and took the ball off steadily, once again letting the attack end without a problem.

No.608 minutes, Italy got a rare chance to counterattack. Balotelli received a pass and took a long shot. After holding the ball in his hand for a while, he let the ball fly high, then jumped up and made a second save to hold the ball in his arms.

In the 73rd minute, less than 10 minutes from the end of the game, Clemens once again took control of the ball as another Italian attack ended ineffective.

Who is the team that likes the long pass the most?England.

The England team, which has always been known for its strong body but not strong skills, does not want to reform, but the physical fitness and technical level of the players in the team greatly limit the coach's choice, long balls, and avoid all links that may involve hard work , Knock on the other party's door in a simple, direct and even somewhat rude way!Perhaps the tactics will be outdated, but this simple and efficient thinking can last for a long time, including this World Cup, although England qualified on its knees, it still goes farther, at least farther than Spain, a team known for its technology.

And in the game against England, Clemens could clearly feel the benefits of the long pass, that is, it will pull the players' running in a wide range, thereby quickly consuming the physical energy of both sides. In this game, Players with better physical fitness will undoubtedly have an absolute advantage.

However, this game is different. Because of the weakness of the striker, Italy often has to mobilize a lot of physical energy to work hard for possible offensive opportunities. On the contrary, whether it is Ronaldo, Nelson, or Nani in Portugal, Any rushing out will force Italy to put up 100% energy to defend. At this time, it will have to retreat in a wide range and stand firm.

Chain defense, this is a very good choice, but after all, for Portugal, it is very cost-effective for the three players to pull the opponent's entire defense line.

When the game came to an end, Clemens narrowed his eyes slightly.

Italy was very tired from playing. It can be seen that there were many mistakes in passing the ball just now and that Balotelli's attack was completely lacking in the determination at the beginning of the game. The feeling of fatigue and the direct deformation of the movement seemed to happen like a chain reaction. , and Clemens's more and more casual long passes again and again made Italy miserable.

Didn't you always pass the news very accurately?Moreover, according to the team's investigation before the game, Clemens's pass belongs to the type of pointing where to hit. If there is no threat or there is no guarantee that his teammates can shoot directly after receiving it, then Clemens basically chooses short. pass with.

But now?Long pass everything!It's okay, just pass it on!Pass the ball regardless of whether there is anyone in front of it!

What kind of trouble!Is it exciting to walk people!

The result of many invalid long passes is that the opposing team's overall slack and empty space often happen when they lose their vigilance.

"Middle."

Clemens' voice was sent to Ronaldo's ears again, but this time it was not as clear as before, as if speaking to the ear, but came with a roar!

Ronaldo turned his head and ran away without even thinking about it. This has become a habitual action. Anyway, eating cakes is never too much. He wants to be the first man in the scorer list, how can he be stingy with his physical strength!

The sound of Clemens was also heard by the Italians. When they started running, Clemens' pass had already flown out!

There is a law on the court, that is, the ball always flies faster than the people. The reason why passing control is becoming more and more popular now is because this style of play turns a lot of running into passing the ball, which greatly reduces the time. be efficient.The same is true for the long pass. Clemens's pass is just right in terms of speed and strength, and this time, it is the first time that Ronaldo has received such a comfortable pass in the second half.

Only Clemens can send this kind of pass that can be safely caught without looking back and just running hard!

The moment Ronaldo caught the ball, he subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, which was almost an incomprehensible expression.

But only when you play football and experience it yourself, you will know that the cake that is fed to your mouth is the best, and my child is a guy who breaks other people's mouths and stuffs cakes into it.

You will only be choked, and you will never be unable to eat!

Cool!

"C Ronaldo once again drove straight into the Italian half. Clemens's pass today was substandard. I don't know whether this is a tactical reason or a lack of technique caused by too slack before the knockout match. But this pass The ball is definitely just right!" Sessam felt that he saw a familiar scene, after all, this kind of pass that directly connects the backcourt and the frontcourt is the last magic weapon of Real Madrid, which can make all Real Madrid players run like wild horses The reason for running all over the field is also a nightmare for other teams...

Does anyone else remember the horror of being dominated 7-0?

A strange thought flashed through his head. The soul of Atletico Madrid that began to hide slowly after the start of the World Cup drove Sessam not to recall the La Liga last season. He immediately focused on the field: "Italy Slack, obviously Clemens was waiting for this moment! After many impacts, the closed door of Italy finally showed signs of loosening, Ronaldo found the space, the space between the two defenders!"

Ronaldo doesn't know how many times he faced Buffon, and Buffon didn't know how many times he faced Ronaldo, but this time Ronaldo's attack was extremely fast!

The feeling of not having to stop the speed or make adjustments after receiving the ball is not only comfortable, but also has great benefits for the rhythm of the game, which greatly saves time and allows Ronaldo to start the action calmly!

Effortlessly dodging the collision with an obvious strategic foul, Ronaldo strode into the penalty area, facing the Italian captain Buffon in front of him!

The Italian man in black, who had been fighting for nearly eight or ten minutes, did not choose to back down, but bravely went forward and prepared to settle the battle ahead of time!

What he didn't notice was that, on the other side of the court, Clemens' eyes were fixed on Buffon's movements.

Ronaldo did not look at Buffon, but chose to look at the ball at his feet.

After entering the penalty area, Ronaldo made an inside cut, which is a necessary skill for a winger, and then he kicked and shot!

The arc of this shot is very large, and it goes directly to Buffon's left side from a far corner!

The screen switched directly to the camera facing the goal. Many Italian fans on the scene covered their heads tightly, hoping that their goalkeeper could end the attack again.

But no one is made of steel, everyone will be tired, especially when the entire Portuguese tactics are aimed at Buffon alone, even the goalkeeper will decline.

Buffon was obviously conscious. He knew how to fight and which direction he was going to go. He didn't hesitate in his whole movement, but there was a pause when he fell to the ground.

I realized that, after all, I can't ask a veteran to be 20 years old forever.

The ball slid into the goal along Buffon's fingertips. As long as there is one more second, no, half a second, the attack will be resolved again.

It's a pity that there is no chance to do it again on the football field.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooool!"

In the commentary area, Sesam from Spain yelled like crazy, and there were many commentators who reacted like him. After all, they have been holding back for seven or 10 minutes, and they have not scored yet. Even the commentator will feel very happy when someone breaks the deadlock in the competition!

In addition to the Italian commentary, the Italian who had been sitting there nervously looked at the Portuguese players celebrating on the field, took a deep breath, and then adjusted his mentality to cheer for the team.

It's just that he can see it himself. Now that the better team has scored goals, if they continue to play at this pace, the chances of a comeback are too slim...

Portugal was naturally rejoicing, but Clemens noticed Buffon in the opponent's penalty area.

Buffon obviously also felt the pain. His eyes were focused on Buffon's arm. He didn't know whether it was due to the contusion or the bleeding from the bump. The wound looked very conspicuous, and the excited Portuguese naturally wouldn't notice it. At this point, Buffon sat up directly by himself, said a few words to the referee, and then let the team doctor enter the field.

Because Pepe was standing far away, he didn't go forward to participate in the hug, especially when Clemens behind him was staring at him, which made Pepe feel that it was good to stand here. It's not too late to have fun in the locker room.That's it, Pepe followed Clemens and looked towards the opposite goal, watched the team doctor enter the field, watched Buffon get two stitches on the spot, and watched the team doctor leave the field.

Buffon didn't mean to leave the court during the whole process, which was somewhat against the rules, but the referee from Japan didn't pursue it, and some steps were omitted.

"It seems that he will continue to insist." Pepe said and looked at Clemens.

Mr. Daochang nodded, looking at Buffon with admiration in his eyes.

It is possible to change the goalkeeper on the spot, but Buffon is not only the goalkeeper, but also the spiritual pillar. If he is replaced, he will announce the surrender of Italy.

I have seen a temporary change of striker to change life against the sky, but I have never seen a change of goalkeeper before a penalty shootout. Buffon chose to persevere, which also prevented Italy's hope from disappearing so quickly.

Following the momentum of the goal, Portugal began to bombard in turn, regardless of the long pass or not. Except for the three defenders who were staring at Balotelli in the backcourt, everyone piled up outside the opponent's penalty area. If you have anything to do, come here, you can't get in if you don't believe it!

But in fact, it was really impossible to get in. I don’t know if the wound and pain made Buffon more sober. This world-class goalkeeper started to resist with high-defense, and his performance was unparalleled!

Portugal is in the lead, but Buffon has been tested the most so far. It is really hard to judge who will win and who will win in this goalkeeper matchup.

Italy withdrew three defenders, replaced two forwards and an attacking midfielder, obviously wanting to put all their eggs in one basket!

All the decisive battles started in the No.903 minute. Pirlo pressed forward and created a corner kick. This is also the last chance!

Injury time is only 3 minutes, depending on what the referee means, no matter whether the goal is scored or not, he will blow the whistle to end the game!

If you enter, there will be overtime, if you don't enter, it will be completely over.

That is, when the Italian players placed a corner kick, someone rushed from the empty Italian half.

Sesam's eyes followed him: "Buffon also chose to give it a go in the end! In the knockout round, you lose even if you lose a few times. It's better to fight hard. The man in black with a bandage on his arm Moment is the hero of Italy, regardless of the final result, Buffon deserves respect!"

Clemens also had the same idea as him. He watched Buffon push through the crowd and squeeze into the penalty area to fight for a favorable position. Clemens stepped back slightly to the far post.

Next to him is Mr. Balotelli, the absolute main force of the header. Of course, Clemens is the first to guard against him!

The corner kick came out and flew directly to the penalty area!

"People in the penalty area leaped high, and everyone turned their backs on their backs! The referee couldn't possibly have the courage to award a penalty at such a time because the two sides were pulling each other... We got it! It was Buffon who got the first spot!"

Buffon jumped high and headed towards the goal that was close at hand!The distance is less than two meters, but it is so far away in the eyes of many people.

Many Italian fans can't wait to go up and make up for it now, go in, it's so close, go in!

But just before Buffon landed, a hand appeared on the path of the ball like a ghost. Buffon's pupils shrank slightly, and the dazzling golden hair in the sun appeared in sight.

The game is over.

The moment Clemens kept the ball, many people knew that the game was over and stoppage time had passed long ago. As long as Portugal controlled the ball, Italy would have no chance, even if the referee didn't whistle. The Portuguese bench on the sidelines is already full of joy!

In stark contrast is the loneliness on the Italian side. The Italian coach is trying to appease the players one by one, but there is nothing he can do.

Clemens looked at Buffon, blinked, and said something while holding the ball tightly.

This sentence was very slight in the referee's whistle announcing the end of the game, but it still entered the ears of Buffon who was close at hand.

"We're all doing great, Gian." Clemens said this very seriously.

Buffon closed his eyes. He knew that the World Cup trip of the Italian national team had officially ended, but his reaction was not much annoyance. After all, he had done his best and there was no need to regret. When speaking, he reached out and hugged the blond-haired child, and then patted the other person on the head: "Nice job, Thomas."

In the chaotic restricted zone, the scene of the two sympathetic goalkeepers embracing each other is destined to move many people.

Marcelo, who had already finished the game yesterday and started to watch the game with his teammates, felt that this was very touching. He even reached out and patted Kaka beside him: "This game is really good, isn't it, Rica... so many... "

The first thing I saw was the smiling Kaka and the broken fork in Kaka's hand. This fork was used to insert fruit, but it is now dead.

...Looks like Kaka is in a bad mood.The sharp Marcelo comes to a conclusion.

Kaka smiled and looked at the screen with a calm voice: "Yeah, it was a good match."

Ha ha.
