Chapter 638 Battle in Italy (2)

Chapter 638 Fighting Italy ([-])

"Mr. Jianhong, do you want to call CCTV twice first?"

"Haha, when I mentioned this, I remembered that someone on the Internet asked why they shouted twice. Actually, I don't know. When I entered the stage to work, the seniors explained it like this, such as Han Qiaosheng and Song Shixiong."

"So, I have also learned it. It has always been a habit. Now that I think about it, it seems a bit old-fashioned."

"No, no," Li Zibing said.

"Really? Then it's up to you to call today."

Li Zibing was so sweaty, "Forget it, let me introduce Italy's starting lineup."

Goalkeeper - Buffon

Defenders - Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini

Midfielders - Florenzi, Verratti, De Rossi, Bonaventura, De Sciglio

Forwards - Eder, Pellet

After the introduction, Liu Jianhong interjected: "Italy is a 352 formation, which is to maintain the tactics of Conte's period."

"Yes, I watched the European Cup two years ago. The Italian team can be said to be very successful. The Italian team under Conte is still very strong."

"Yes, Conte went to Chelsea to coach and was very successful."

Li Zibing was a little puzzled: "Teacher Jianhong, isn't it reasonable that the three defenders are weaker in defense? Why is Italy's defense so strong?"

Liu Jianhong said: "Actually, if you look carefully, Italy's three backs are all center backs. When the two full-backs come back, Italy actually has five backs."

"So the mystery is here!"

Li Zibing continued to ask: "Those two full-backs are equal to one person doing the work of two people. Are they physically strong enough?"

"That's what's great about Italy, they have two great wingers."

The words are divided into two parts. On the court, Italy has already completed the first shot. De Rossi bombarded the goal from outside the penalty area, and the ball was a little higher.

Although Italy has five midfielders, there are endless changes. There are not only two full-backs, but also Bonaventura is not fixed in one position. When attacking, Bonaventura stands in the midfielder position. When defending, Bonaventura, Verratti and De Rossi form a three-midfielder.

It's no wonder that the Italian coaches are all masters of tactics. It's changing, and the general coaches are dizzy, let alone targeted defense.

De Rossi took the ball in midfield and passed it to Verratti. Verratti is short, but as flexible as a loach, plus his technique is great.

Zhou Dun still felt a little difficult when defending Verratti, and Verratti handed the ball to Bonaventura.

AC Milan's attacking midfielder took the ball in front of the penalty area. He looked at it, and directly kicked the ball to the back corner of the goal. Wang Dalei jumped up and saved the ball to the bottom line. Just when Bonaventura finished the shot, the referee's whistle sounded.

It turned out that when Bonaventura was shooting, Fonso's tackle also arrived. As a result, the referee judged Fonso's dangerous action and gave Italy a free kick.

Although Pirlo is gone, there is still no shortage of free kick masters in the Italian team, such as Verratti, Bonaventura, De Rossi, and even defender Bonucci also has a violent free kick stunt.

Wang Dalei was squatting and lining up the wall. In order to avoid a repeat of the tragedy against Russia last time, this time Wang Dalei lined up Fang Suo in the near corner, and he would never let his opponent tear down the wall.

Italy was also discussing. De Rossi, Verratti and Bonucci stood in front of the ball. In the end, Verratti and Bonucci left one after another. Only De Rossi was left in front of the ball. It was probably a free kick.

After both sides were ready, the referee blew his whistle, and De Rossi started his run-up and slapped the ball with his last kick.

Sure enough, it was a vigorous free kick, maybe he was bombarded once on the field, this time Wang Dalei was waiting for it, the ball came roaring, Wang Dalei did not dare to catch it with his hands, turned his palms outwards, and patted the ball.

"Too bad!" Wang Dalei thought, he shot the ball in the wrong direction and didn't hit the sideline. After another look, the ball was caught by Italy's Edel.

Edel swung his right foot to shoot, and one of the slanted stabs flew over to block the eye. This man was Geng Chong, and Edel saw it too, so he faked a dunk. After the dunk of Geng Chong, Edel had only Wang Dalei in front of him.

Eder kicked a flat kick and the ball hit the goal steadily. Italy led 1-0!

The goal was a bit useless, half of it was Italy's strength, and the other half was Italy's good luck. Everyone's attention was on De Rossi who took the free kick, and Wang Dalei's save happened to Edel.

Ventura didn't run around to celebrate like his predecessor Conte. He was still relatively quiet, just applauding and laughing. Edel ran towards him, and the two hugged.

Facing Italy, which is known for its defensive counterattacks, what does it mean to concede a goal first?Self-explanatory.

Li Guo looked down at the lawn, feeling a little embarrassed. Since the start of this World Cup, the Chinese team has been going smoothly, especially in the quarter-finals against Russia. Maybe this game will be a real problem for the Chinese team.

The game continued, and the Chinese team started to attack. Although they were behind, the Chinese team's offense was not chaotic.

Liao Lisheng passed the ball to Fang Suo, Fang Suo passed it to Lin Zhijian, and then Lin Zhijian passed the ball to Liao Lisheng again. He took the ball and turned around in front of the penalty area. Liao Lisheng knew where Chen Gelin was without looking.

The action didn't look big, but the situation was much more serious than Li Guo thought. His teammates ran over, and before the team doctor came on the field, Zhou Dun gestured to the sidelines to ask for a substitution.

Li Guo's heart skipped a beat. In fact, injuries on the court are often such hidden injuries. The so-called open guns are easy to hide and hidden arrows are hard to guard against. When Liao Lisheng turned around, he didn't understand the situation around him. At this time, when a giant like Chiellini hit him, Liao Lisheng was unprepared, so...

Li Guo made gestures to ask Park Shuang to get up quickly. Park Shuang took off the substitute vest and quickly did a few back and forth runs on the sidelines to activate his core muscles. Sun Jihai also accompanied him and passed the ball to him. This kind of sudden substitution also had high requirements for the substitute players.

When Liao Lisheng was carried off the court, there was applause at the scene, which was also a comfort to the injured player.

Liao Lisheng was already in tears, the professional player knew his injury well, Li Guo patted him, and Pu Shuang also high-fived him.

"The Chinese team made a substitution only 10 minutes into the first half. This was a passive substitution. Not only did the main players go off the field, it also used up a valuable substitution quota," Liu Jianhong said.

Li Zibing also had a feeling that she had a bad start, but she didn't say anything.
