Italy didn't look down upon this match at all, but they still didn't expect the Chinese team to make such great progress.

In this battle, the Chinese team used a short pass penetration tactic on the offensive end, and actually wanted to use pass and cut coordination to penetrate Italy's dense defense head-on.

Wu Jie himself felt that playing like this was a bit too bold, because such tactics and intensive defense are mutually restrained. Especially when facing a team with outstanding defense like Italy, if you don't play well, it will easily be self-defeating!

But this is one of the tactics he has always hoped that the Chinese team can play. If it were placed in the World Cup two years ago, it would not work. At that time, except for him and Chen Haonan, the skills and teamwork awareness of the other players, including Gu Guangming, were inferior.

It's not enough to create this kind of technical flow.

If he were facing Italy's first team now, he would not dare to use this style of play to hit Italy head-on.

But now the defensive intensity and tacit understanding of the Italian second team have dropped a notch, and this group of Chinese players have been practicing in Europe for another two years.

Gu Guangming, Zhao Dayu, Liu Haiguang, and Zhen Aiguo have made great progress in technology and teamwork compared to two years ago. With the combination of Wu Jie and Chen Haonan, they have been able to play fast passing and cutting cooperation, including a large number of

The combination of 2 over 1, 3 over 2, and even 3 over 3 can be played.

Therefore, the Chinese team’s starting lineup today is basically composed of European players and local technical players——

Frontcourt: Liu Haiguang, Zhao Dayu

Midfielder: Wu Jie, Zhen Aiguo, Chen Haonan, Gu Guangming

Backcourt: Zhu Bo, Jia Xiuquan, Wang Dongning, Li Junwei

Goalkeeper: Lin Yaodong

This lineup is lethal, defensive, technical, and not physically disadvantaged. It is considered the best combination for the Chinese team at this stage.

Wu Jie's position today is mainly on the left. The entire left corridor is his only activity range after the game starts. Zhu Bo will basically not cross the center line behind him.

This is the first time that this style of play of the Chinese team has been exposed to the outside world. The center and right wing are completely handed over to the triangle lineup composed of Chen Haonan, Zhen Aiguo, and Gu Guangming.

The Italian team didn't know what the Chinese team was doing at first, but it soon became uncomfortable because Wu Jie was playing alone on the empty left wing.

But precisely because of the vast area and sparsely populated area, they had to defend him with two or three people at all times, so the entire defense line was naturally stretched wide.

However, the Chinese team consciously focused on the right attack after the opening. Since Wu Jie on the left could attract enough defenders, the Chinese team naturally had a numerical advantage on the right.

This is where the Italian team feels uncomfortable. The power of the right triangle formed by these three La Liga players is not small. The second Italian team is passive due to the balance of numbers. Now the numerical disadvantage cannot limit the passing and cutting cooperation of these three people.

Just in the 4th minute of the first half, Chen Haonan completed a wonderful 2-2 cooperation with Gu Guangming. The latter successfully dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area and then passed the ball into the penalty area.

This pass was a half-high ball, located near the line of the small penalty area where the goalkeeper was extremely uncomfortable.

Liu Haiguang rushed over and finished the shot with a diving dive.

This goal would have probably been scored if it had been a top shot, but the defenders of Italy's second team could not underestimate it.

Inter Milan's main center back Ricardo Ferri still interfered before Liu Haiguang headed the ball. Liu Haiguang did not have enough power to top the ball.

Fiorentina's main goalkeeper Giovanni Galli also made a world-class save, flying and pressing the ball on the goal line.

When Liu Haiguang saw that the goal was not scored, he lay on the ground and patted the turf several times in great annoyance.

However, two minutes later, the Chinese team made a comeback again.

This time Chen Haonan received a short pass from Zhen Aiguo and used his personal ability to break through the defense of two Italian players. He reached the penalty area and fired a long shot. The football was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 10th minute, the Chinese team launched another offensive on the right.

This time Gu Guangming received Chen Haonan's advance pass from the wing and forced a breakthrough to attract the blockage of two defensive players.

If it were two years ago, Gu Guangming would probably use his personal ability to continue to play hard, and then naturally he would be surrounded by Italian defenders on the wing. The best result would be a corner kick, and he would probably hand over the ball directly.

But at this time, he made a more mature decision and suddenly stopped before losing his balance and swept the ball diagonally backward.

Chen Haonan did not delay after receiving the return pass. He threw a cross ball across half the court and directly found Wu Jie, who entered the penalty area at high speed from the left.

Wu Jie's operation was also very cool. He didn't even take off the ball before shooting. Instead, he volleyed directly from the left side of the penalty area about 15 meters away from the goal!

If this goal had been scored, it would definitely be one of the top 100 goals in football history.

Unfortunately, the difficulty level was too high. Although Wu Jie had both feet balanced, his left foot was not his dominant foot after all. The shot missed the right post of the goal and flew out of the baseline.

Wu Jie also felt it was a pity, shaking his head and giving a thumbs up to Chen Haonan.

This sudden transfer of the ball completely exceeded the Italian player's expectations. If he had removed the ball and made another move, the ball would have been there.

Italy survived several disasters in a row, but Houfu did not appear, and they turned around and were still beaten by the Chinese team.

At this time, everyone can already find that the Italian team's defensive ability has not dropped much. These so-called spare tires are actually top-notch players, and they are at most half a level behind the Italian first team.

However, the level of the Italian lineup in the midfield and frontcourt has indeed declined a lot. It was not until the 20th minute of the first half that Lin Yaodong made his first save. As a result, the shot missed by Giuseppe Galdrissi.

At this time, the Chinese team had already had 6 shots, 3 of which hit the goal frame.

The Italian team finally made adjustments. When they were continuously penetrated on the left, they had to remove one of the three defensive players who were dealing with Wu Jie.

But as a result, the Chinese team began to shift the ball to the left when attacking. Wu Jie faced the defense of two players in such an open area, and the pressure was no longer particularly great.

In the 29th minute, Wu Jie faced the defense of two Italian defenders and still used an "alien turn" to complete the breakthrough, once again causing the audience to scream.

Bergomi could only rush up and commit a tactical foul before Wu Jie broke into the penalty area, and finally blocked Wu Jie from the penalty area with a yellow card and a free kick outside the left penalty area.

This free kick is also very dangerous, but the biggest question among fans all over the world at this moment is: Who will kick this ball?

The Chinese team has three top free kickers. This is really a happy trouble!

Lin Yaodong's running to the frontcourt at this time made the doubts even bigger. Now let alone the fans in front of the TV and the Italian team who don't know who will take the penalty, even many Chinese players

I wonder how these three big guys are going to play?

At this time, Wu Jie's action eliminated one of the three multiple-choice questions, because he ran directly into the penalty area to earn some points.

While this made the Italian team breathe a sigh of relief, they immediately became even more nervous.

Wu Jie is taller than Liu Haiguang, the Bundesliga aerial tyrant, and coupled with Wang Dongning, who is also physically difficult to mess with, the deterrent effect produced by these three people standing in the penalty area is too great.

The Asian teams could feel the pressure faced by the Italian team at this time. They had to use two or three people to guard even Wang Dongning. They couldn't imagine what it would be like for Wu Jie and Liu Haiguang to stand in the penalty area together. With this package, they

Not qualified to enjoy it at all.

In fact, the Italian team cannot withstand such great pressure, not to mention that there is a second-generation descendant of "Elevator Ball" and the founder of "Full Moon Scimitar" outside. Every Italian player in the defense this time feels a sense of

The overwhelming feeling of suffocation.

At this time, Lin Yaodong made the first move, and saw the most bizarre but also terrifying idiot goalkeeper in history striding towards the football.

There was only a human wall of five people in Italy. At this moment, they didn't know whether it was a fake move or not. They could only jump up and do their best to obey fate.

But Lin Yaodong rushed to the football and made a fake shot, then jumped directly over.

At this time, Chen Haonan moved, and Wu Jie and Liu Haiguang also moved in the penalty area.

The Italian team's defense was in complete chaos, and they still didn't know what to do with the ball?

Direct shot?

Or pass into the restricted area?

Chen Haonan ran in front of the football with the Italian players' extremely tangled thoughts. It seemed that he was shooting directly, but the football passed under the wall that jumped up twice.

"Oops!"

The Italian players were shocked. Of course, this kind of ball was not passed to Wu Jie, Liu Haiguang, and Wang Dongning.

And when everyone's eyes were looking at the direction of the pass, Zhao Dayu had already unloaded the ball without any defense, and then fired a powerful shot from the spot. At the moment when the Italian goalkeeper could not react at all, the football "swish"

It flew into the goal with a loud sound.

After Zhao Dayu scored, he immediately opened his arms and patted his bald head while running.

His performance in Ligue 1 in the past two years has been outstanding. It can even be said that he is the Chinese player second only to the three major players in the European army. Both statistics and performance are better than Gu Guangming.

But the embarrassing thing is that he has never been reused in the national team. The reason is of course his embarrassing height.

This goal was the first he scored in major competitions such as the World Cup and the Olympics. All the gloom and bad luck in the past two years had been wiped away at this moment, and his self-confidence seemed to have improved a lot.

The Italian team was clearly on the verge of collapsing after conceding the ball. Today, the Chinese team's offensive focus kept shifting left and right, which kept them in a difficult situation.

In the following games, they were still beaten by the Chinese team, rarely threatening Lin Yaodong's goal. This guy almost fell asleep outside the penalty area.

The first half was about to enter stoppage time. Chen Haonan suddenly launched a counterattack near the center circle, and a clever pass through the crotch found Gu Guangming, who was running away without the ball.

Gu Guangming's absolute speed is not top-notch, but his ability to combine man and ball is close to top-notch.

Chen Haonan passed the ball with great force and concealment, which directly allowed him to accelerate into the penalty area with the ball.

Giovanni Galli's level is not bad and he blocked the shooting angle in time.

Gu Guangming didn't stick to the ball and was greedy for credit. When he saw that Italy's defense was about to complete the attack, he immediately passed the ball laterally.

Zhao Dayu intervened in time again, but this time the Italian defender paid great attention to him, and Giovanni Galli quickly moved laterally to block the angle of his shot.

At this time, the effect of Zhao Dayu's experience in Europe was also displayed. He did not force the shot in this situation, but cleverly let the football pass through his crotch.

This clever move was beyond the expectations of the Italian players. Liu Haiguang fired a powerful kick at the football in the penalty area!

At this distance and position, the goal was empty. Even if Liu Haiguang's two-footed shot was much worse than his header, there was no reason for it to miss.
Chapter completed!
