Chapter 292 Battle in Italy (4)

Chapter 292 Battle in Italy ([-])

Li Guo felt that time passed very slowly, and the ball rolled very slowly.

Buffon's feet, the friction of the turf, and even Chiellini's final chase may have prevented the goal from being scored.

But in the end the ball went in!

Li Guo knelt down on his knees, kissed the lawn, and then stood up to celebrate with his coaching staff and players.

Half of the credit for the ball went to Ji Ke. The teammates first ran over to hug him, and then Chen Gelin.

In the end, Chen Gelin also took the initiative to run over and give Ji Ke a high-five, "Hey, your header ferry is great."

Ji Ke said stupidly: "This ball is my assist."

"Of course," Chen Gelin said with a smile.

On the other side, Chiellini is complaining to the referee. He thinks that Ji Ke obviously blocked him, "This is not basketball. I know it is called a pick and roll in basketball, but it is called a foul in football."

The referee said that this was a reasonable confrontation, 50% against 50%, so there was no foul, but Chiellini was persistent. He knew that if Ji Ke didn't block him, he could defend Chen Gelin, and maybe the goal would not have been scored.

In the end, the referee pointed to the Italian half and signaled Chiellini to leave. In fact, not only Chiellini, but the whole Italian team was a little depressed. Their high position pressing even the goalkeeper of the Chinese team would not let go.

Footballers are superstitious, and when something weird happens on the pitch, their confidence takes a hit.

In the previous life, the Chinese team's performance was not good. Could it be that the level is really not good?I don't think it is, but it is always black for 3 minutes, which makes the players lack of self-confidence.

To make matters worse, Italy just conceded a goal, and Brazil also scored a goal. It is already 5-0 ahead of Tahiti.

After a simple celebration, the game continued, but Li Guo always felt that something was missing. By the way, where is Fang Suo?

When he was celebrating just now, he didn't see Fang Suo. Li Guo looked for Fang Suo on the court. When he found Fang Suo, Li Guo was shocked.

I saw Fang Suo touching the back of his thigh from time to time, probably his thigh was strained.

"When did this guy get hurt!" Li Guo thought to himself.

For football players, muscle strain is the most common injury. Sudden turning and stopping, jumping and falling may cause muscle strain. At the very beginning, players often do not know that they are injured until the injury becomes serious and they feel uncomfortable.

Li Guo turned his head and looked at the bench. Only Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng and Feng Xiaoting could play the midfielder for the Chinese team. Hao Junmin could also play, but he was weaker.

"Zheng Zhi, go warm up."

Li Guo knew that Fang Suo might not be able to hold on for long. Li Guo himself had been injured, and as the blood in the capillaries of the wound continued to ooze out, forming a large bruise, the pain would become more and more intense.

Finally, after a confrontation with Marchisio, Fonso sat on the ground, and Tiehan couldn't hold on any longer. Fonso gestured at Li Guo for a replacement.

Li Guo replaced Fang Suo with Zheng Zhi. Before Zheng Zhi played, Li Guo said to him, "Remember, you are Pirlo of the Chinese team."

Zheng Zhi nodded. A player of his level quickly understood the meaning of Li Guo's words. Now that the game is tied, there is no need to go head-to-head. He should control the ball more in the midfield.

*****

The Chinese team had already changed two players in the second half, but the Italian side remained on hold. The conceded goal was the luck of the Chinese team, not an Italian mistake, so Prandelli did not adjust the Italian midfielder.

However, Italy, which was forced to the corner, obviously strengthened the fight in the midfield. The most obvious thing is that Balotelli has become very active, often grabbing the ball from the Chinese defender's feet.

"The Italians are really in a hurry," Chen An said.

Li Guo nodded, but between people, urgency depends on the situation. Some people will only shout when they are in a hurry, but Italy is not. Several people in the frontcourt of them constantly use their running to compress the space for the Chinese team to pass the ball.

Li Guo thought of the games in Asia, the opponent was in a hurry, buzzing like mosquitoes, while Italy was strangling the Chinese team like a python.

Just when Li Guo was distracted, suddenly a black shadow rushed over, and when Li Guo regained his composure, it was already too late.

It turned out that just now Balotelli was chasing a ball that was about to go out of the sideline. Normally, Li Guo would just get out of the way, but Li Guo was distracted, so he stood there stupidly.

In order to prevent him from bumping into Li Guo, Balotelli first slapped Li Guo away, but this action looked like Balotelli bullied Li Guo from a distance, and the Chinese team's bench and players on the field immediately surrounded him.

"Dare to push our heads!"

But Li Guo knew it in his heart. He stood up and asked everyone to leave, then extended his hand to Balotelli, "Thank you for pushing me away."

Balotelli did not shake hands with Li Guo, but Balotelli is like a child who has not grown up. You are friendly to him, and he knows it in his heart, so he has a good impression of Li Guo.

This ball almost caused a conflict, but it also shows that the Italian players are very urgent, and they don't even want to give the Chinese team a throw-in.

Finally, in the 70 minutes of the second half, after more than a dozen kicks in the frontcourt, Montolivo passed the ball to Aquilani. Facing the goalkeeper's attack, Aquilani calmly distributed the ball to Balotelli, who had a better position in the middle.

Italy's patient attack was like peeling an onion. When the last layer was peeled, a strange scene appeared. Facing half of the empty goal, Balotelli did not shoot directly, but stopped the ball for a while.

It was a pause of half a second. When Bashen shot again, Zhou Dun slid over and cleared the ball in front of the goal line.

"Fuck, why didn't that guy shoot directly," Buffon, who was far in front of another goal, really couldn't figure it out.

Prandelli on the sidelines held his head even more, with an expression of disbelief on his face, because the ball was not difficult at all.

After the game, the whole world was discussing, why did Bashen stop the ball in front of the empty goal?Maybe there will be no answer, just like thinking about life at the European Cup last year.

But the Chinese team didn't care about that much. The biggest hero of the ball was Zhou Dun, who chased back desperately, otherwise Bashen would have enough time to shoot after drinking a cup of coffee.

"Captain, you are so handsome." Mu Fei said.

"Captain, you shouldn't be called Zhou Dun, you should be called Zhou Fei, you really flew that ball just now," Geng Chong said.

"Nonsense, Zhou Dun is the most aggressive," Mu Fei said.

Zhou Dun just smiled lightly, and patted the two of them. In the Chinese team, Zhou Dun is very special, he is born with the temperament of the boss.
