Godfather of national football

Chapter 639 Battle in Italy (3)

Chapter 639 Fighting Italy ([-])

The Chinese team will not pass more than three feet in the frontcourt, and it will be intercepted by Italy. Italy's chain defense is well-deserved.

The charm of football lies in teamwork, and the best in this regard are Italy and Germany.

At 20 minutes into the game, Li Guo took a look at the ball possession rate. The Chinese team's ball possession rate was 60%, which is amazing. In such a passive situation, the Chinese team's ball possession rate is leading.

In fact, this is also the essence of Italian football, that is, don't control the ball, defend, steal the ball, and then counterattack quickly.

Although the ball was passed back and forth at the feet of the Chinese players, Li Guo frowned. He knew that the blue shirts were capable of counterattacking at any time.

"Zhou Dun, be careful of the opponent's counterattack, be careful!"

After Pu Shuang came on the court, although he had better ball control than Liao Lisheng, he was not as threatening as Liao Lisheng, because Pu Shuang's straight shot was far worse than Liao Lisheng.

Without the straight thrust, Chen Gelin's big killer would lose its role in the front. Li Guo was thinking, should he push Zhou Dun up?

This is today's football. In a duel between masters, being able to pass the ball is much more important than being able to control the ball. At this time, Li Guo's eyes are fixed on one person - Lin Zhijian.

Li Guo deduced it in the sand table in his mind, what would happen if Lin Zhijian and Pu Shuang were to switch positions?

After making up his mind, Li Guo made a gesture towards the field, asking Pu Shuang and Lin Zhijian to switch positions. The two didn't understand why. During training, the two had never fought like this before, but Li Guo's orders must be obeyed, so the two still changed positions.

Pu Shuang's speed is relatively slow. Chiellini thinks that he doesn't need a full-back to deal with Pu Shuang. He is OK by himself.

So he made a gesture to De Sciglio, saying that his side is OK, you don't need to come back.

Pu Shuang thought that Chiellini was just average, just a big fool, and Chiellini also looked down on Park Shuang, thinking that he was just a showy move, but actually had no skills, so a very interesting scene happened, two people who looked down on each other got together on the sidewalk.

Facing Chiellini, Pu Shuang stepped on his bicycle quickly, and there was a burst of applause at the scene. The movement was really beautiful, but Chiellini sneered in his heart. He had seen too many such flashy players, and it was useless.

At this moment, an unimaginable scene happened. Park Shuang raised his ankle and kicked the ball under Chiellini.

Be on the lookout!

An important part of Chiellini was attacked, and he fell to the ground immediately, "Foul, foul," but then he thought, although this move is despicable, it is indeed not a foul, at most it is an accidental injury.

Chiellini, who was in pain, turned his head and saw that Pu Shuang had already bottomed out. He kicked the ground and passed it to the penalty area in an inverted triangle. Lin Zhijian was waiting for him.

The opportunity was good. Lin Zhijian didn't choose to pass the ball any more. He pushed with his arch, and the Chinese player on the sidelines rushed out ahead of time. The ball went straight to the dead corner, so there should be no problem.

At this moment, someone flew up in front of the goal, as if they had escaped gravity. At this time, Buffon was like Zidane's header in the 2006 final. Time has changed a lot, but the level of a generation of goalkeepers has not changed.

When Buffon lifted the ball out of the baseline, the audience burst into applause, and the Italian player ran back and high-fived the captain.

Buffon is very cool, just as cool as before. In fact, before the World Cup, there was still controversy in Italy about Buffon's selection for the national team. Some people think that there are many young and good goalkeepers in Italy. Why use a 40-year-old goalkeeper.

And Buffon responded to the doubts of the outside world with his actions. Just now Lin Zhijian's push, if there is another player in front of the Italian goal, it may not be able to save it.

*****

The broadcast camera first showed the ball possession rate of the two sides, and then gave the camera to Li Guo and Ventura respectively. Ventura seemed very calm. Even if Italy's ball possession rate dropped a little, he didn't care.

The scene that Li Guo was most worried about happened. The midfield pass took a long time and was cut off by Italy.

Italy's 5 midfielders, the two on the wing rushed up like arrows off the string, and Verratti dribbled the ball forward like a small tank.

Italy's counterattack is coming!

Li Guo knew that Italy would not counterattack easily, but once it counterattacked, it would bite hard. Looking at it again at this time, except for the three defenders, almost all other Italian players invested in the counterattack.

Verratti passed the ball to De Rossi, who in turn passed it to Bonaventura, as if Italy were waiting.

What are you waiting for?

Li Guo understood that he should be waiting for the offensive formation to be fully deployed. Indeed, the high center forward Pellet seemed not in place yet.

This kind of organized counterattack is too difficult for the Chinese team to defend. It seems to be ready, and Bonaventura passes the ball back to De Rossi.

Chinese players know that Italy is going to attack, but they don't know how De Rossi will deal with it.

But an unexpected scene happened again. When everyone ran out of position, De Rossi seemed to want to shoot himself.

Seeing De Rossi posing in front of the penalty area, Fonso knew he had been fooled. It turned out that all the previous moves in Italy were just to tear apart the Chinese team's formation, and the real purpose was to let De Rossi shoot.

Fang Suo went up to block, but De Rossi's cloud piercing arrow had already been shot, and the ball flew straight to the goal.

This is the iconic De Rossi-style shot, violent and unreasonable. In Serie A, De Rossi's cloud piercing arrow has repeatedly succeeded.

Wang Dalei made a pounce, but the speed of the ball was still too fast. It passed by and the ball went in!

De Rossi spread his arms and ran to the sidelines, the world wave, De Rossi didn't score many goals, but as long as he scored, most of them were world waves.

De Rossi roared like a beast, and the Italian players were all aroused. This game was just like playing Spain two years ago. It was cool.

The camera flicked, and the Chinese fans in the stands were stunned. Before the game, they expected that the match against Italy would be difficult, and they might have to go to overtime, just like the South Korean team in 2002, but unexpectedly, Italy quickly defeated the Chinese team.

This has something to do with Liao Lisheng's injury, but this is not the reason, and no one cares about the reason.

Li Guo knew that if this situation continued, the Chinese team might become Russia. No, absolutely not. As soon as Li Guo turned around and returned to the bench, he waved for Ji Ke to come out.

But when Liu Jianhong saw the substitution card, he felt inexplicable in his heart, "The Chinese team has to replace Pu Shuang who just played, this..."

In such a critical game, Li Guo's doing so is tantamount to abolishing two substitutions. Does Li Guo have any reason to make the substitution?

Or is Director Li completely confused under the coercion?
