At 4:03, the Italian national team players took the flight and landed at TT International Airport. The tired Italian internationals walked out with their luggage. The fans at the scene had already gathered a lot. The Italian stars were a little surprised by the applause from the fans, but everyone understood the banners held by the two old fans...

"You guys, you can... In 3 days, we will wait for you at the Olympic Stadium!!!"

Now, the entire Apennine Peninsula has focused on the game three days later, although Bulgaria is not a good bone to chew!!

However, obviously, the media reporters at the scene did not intend to send any comfortable greetings to the players of the Italian national team who were hurt in the rain in Tbilisi. For a moment, all kinds of tricky questions surrounded the coaching staff and players of the Italian national team...

Almost everyone had a stern face. With the help of the security personnel on the scene, they quickly passed through the reporters' encirclement and got into the bus that had been waiting for a long time...

Xiangnan's face was also very bad. The rain in Tbilisi is obviously not just the nourishing rain and dew of love, but also something that can make people catch colds. On the plane, Xiangnan was drowsy. The team doctor has decided that after arriving at the Vinovo training base in Juventus, Xiangnan will be closed for treatment. Lippi has given a death order to the medical expert team of the Italian national team. Xiangnan must appear in the starting list of the match against Bulgaria...

The ‘Silver Fox’ knew very well that as long as he defeated Bulgaria, all suspicions could be shut up...

Lippi, who was sitting in the front row, looked at the scenery outside the bus and kept silent. When he agreed to regain the coaching seal of the Blues, Lippi did not expect that the former champion team in 2006 had dropped so much...

On the European continent, there is even a view that Italy without Andrei is even just a second-rate European team...

*******

15:00, Juventus' Vinovo training base, press conference hall.

Lippi finally opened his mouth to Italy's tie in Georgia...

"This is how our history is." Lippi looked at the reporter of the Naples Post, which made him feel disgusting. "Italian performance in the qualifiers has never been excellent enough. We are always not excited enough in some games."

The reporters on the scene obviously are not so easy to be satisfied. These uncrowned kings are like this. Once you perform poorly, all problems will hit you in different ways!!!

A local reporter from "Roman Sports" asked about the shadows in the summer. In Tbilisi, Italian goalkeeper Buffon once said that after the defeat in the South African Federation Cup, the team seemed to have lost the continuity and fighting spirit of victory...

Lippi responded. "Just like some other national teams, we are a cup team. Let's wait for the World Cup to begin. Everything will be different in those 30 days. Buffon said that the Federation Cup defeat still made us feel a little depressed. He might be right."

“We still lack a little confidence in our ability. But there is no need to panic about it.

”

*******

The Vinovo training base in Juventus, this is not the first time Xiangnan has conducted national team training here. However, every time Xiangnan feels the same, and it feels a bit strange. After all, as the former "Prince of Turin" in Juventus' territory, it still feels a bit interesting...

From 16:30 to 17:00, it is the time for open training, and reporters can shoot on the sidelines. Italian internationals obviously understand the essence of training under the gaze of reporters' countless cameras. There were laughter on the entire training ground, and the content of the training class was mainly composed of some simple cooperation and shooting performances...

Xiangnan also appeared on the training ground, but did not participate in the team's joint training, but instead practiced free kicks alone accompanied by the goalkeeper coach...

However, for the reporters on the scene, their purpose is not just to watch the Italian national team's public training for the half-hour of public training. All the reporters sent by each media are old-fashioned. They have their own familiar players in the Italian national team. Their purpose is to try to draw out some fans and readers and topics of interest from the players during the 15 minutes of free interview at the end of the training...

Reporter of "Milan Sports" and Miss Alice was also watching the training of the Italian national team on the sidelines. Looking at the young and immature boy in the past, the number one star of the Italian national team, she felt a strange feeling from the boy's excessively facing the man...

That's right, this Miss Alice is the beautiful reporter Xiangnan helped him when he first joined Turin. If Alice hadn't helped contact him, maybe Xiangnan wouldn't have joined Turin team at that time, and there wouldn't be the "Prince of Turin" in the future...

The 1700 public training ended, and the security guards at the Vinovo training base began to allow reporters to enter the training ground. The 15-minute free interview was started. This was the decision announced by the Italian national team today. The purpose was to ease the atmosphere of distrust of the team due to the draw with Georgia... Fight for more fans to come to the Olympic Stadium to cheer for the Italian national team...

*******

"Andre, what do you think about the team's draw in Tbilisi?" Alice found Xiangnan directly. She was considered to be a targeted Nan. In "Milan Sports" she was always able to get the privilege of interviewing Xiangnan as soon as possible. This is related to "Milan Sports"'s influence in the Apennine Peninsula. However, the private friendship between Alice and Xiangnan cannot be ignored...

"Georgia is not a team that is easy to deal with,...but that game has passed, and I would rather think about the next game against Bulgaria!!" Xiangnan obviously didn't want to talk about Tbilisi more. After all, now, within the Italian national team, almost everyone will feel a little conditional when they mention Tbilisi...

"Bodinov thinks Italy is no longer a champion team, what do you think?" Alice's sweet smile made Xiangnan feel a different kind of beauty.

"Bojinov is a good shooter, but the first thing he has to pay attention to is not to always forget to wear shooting boots!!!" Xiangnan has no big feelings for Bojinov, which also stems from an interview a few days ago. Bojinov said in an interview with "**" in Bulgaria, "I will let Andre see how I am like,"

...’

Alice was also happy to see Xiangnan's sneer on the corner of her mouth. She rarely saw Xiangnan's expression. It seemed that, 'Andre was really angry by Bodinov. In the game against Bulgaria, Andre...'

...

Obviously, other reporters have gained a lot in these 15 minutes. After the interview, newspapers and media in the Apennine Peninsula published exclusive news--

"New Perspective": "Buffon: Only Brazil is a little better than Italy..."

"Naples Horn": "Girardino: Amauri cannot solve the Italian offense, I can!!" (Girardino was selected for the national team again a year later, but he did not get a chance to play in Tbilisi. In that game, he partnered with Villarreal scorer Giuseppe Rossi...)

"Roman Sports": "Canavaro: This game is the final..."

"Fiorentine Post": "Lucca Tony: If you don't score, you can't blame me!!" (In recent games, Tony, who is most valued by Lippi in the 2006 World Cup, can only be described as "bad". In the game against Georgia, Bayern Munich striker sat on the bench. This sentence was also believed by the media to be demonstrating to Lippi, believing that only he is the key to solving the Italian offense...)

*******

Of course, the media will not forget another person who is also a crucial person for this game--

Trapatoni, head coach of the Irish national team!!!

However, obviously, the old coach who has been tested by the Italian media for decades will not follow the media's ideas. When interviewed by "repubblia-it", Trapatoni took the initiative to care about the issue of the Italian national team's roster--

Speaking of Italy's third-place Bulgaria this Wednesday, Trapatoni said, "Italian played Georgia badly, but that's been a thing of the past. I know that Bulgarian players will contribute their best. They will seize this last chance to qualify for the playoffs. Casano? I think he is a talented player, and Casano's absence is a regret..."

Former Italian coach and current Irish coach Trapatoni, obviously, is more clear than anyone else about the current situation of his team. Ireland can only survive if he defeats Italy next month. However, the head coach of the Irish national team is still full of expectations for Ireland to defeat Italy in the last World Cup next month and thus directly join South Africa.

Trapatoni told repubblia-it with a smile, "Ireland has a 50% chance to advance directly, we are in good shape and can beat Italy. Now we are playing against Italy, although they are obviously still popular.

They are a very experienced super-strong team. I know all the players under Lippi and know their value better."

"I don't want to be very self-righteous, but 90 minutes is 90 minutes. No one knows what will happen in this one and a half hours of football. The game is never absolute." Trapatoni seemed full of confidence. Perhaps, Georgia drew Italy at home and brought great confidence to the head coach of the Irish national team. "Andre? He is with the superstar... However, the football game is 11 people..."

*******

On September 8, 2009, the Italian team adapted to the field training at the Olympic Stadium in Turin. This was also the last training before the game. What made the Italian coaching staff happy was that Xiangnan appeared in the confrontation training and showed good competitive state, which also made Lippi feel relieved. He had more expectations for the match against Bulgaria...

...

Xiangnan received a pass from De Rossi, pulled the ball horizontally, shook Matrazi's snatch, and then a beautiful straight pass, Giusepelosi easily pushed the ball into the goal...

This cooperation also made the coaching staff on the sidelines excitedly applaud. Now, the cooperation between Rossi and Xiangnan has become quite tacit understanding than the previous game with Georgia...

...

After adapting to the field training, Lippi ordered the names of three players and participated in a pre-match press conference with him--

"Fabio, and Gian Luigi." Lippi first called the captain Cannavaro's name, then the team's deputy captain Buffon. After that, the 'Silver Fox' glanced at the players, "Andre!!"

Although some of the other players were disappointed with Lippi's arrangement, they had to admit that Xiangnan's current position in the team is indeed qualified...

...

At the press conference before the game, Xiangnan also represented the Italian national team players and called on Italian fans to come to the scene to cheer for the team...

*******

On September 9, 2009, 2045, there were still 5 minutes left before the game started, and the Olympic Stadium was full.

In the locker room of the home team at the Olympic Stadium, Lippi is explaining the key points of the game.

"Pay attention to Bulgaria's Martin Petrov, his sprint on the sidelines>: Don't give Berbatov a chance to feel comfortable in the penalty area... Be careful of Bozinov, he has strong running ability... Andre, you should pay more attention to changing positions and interspersing running..."

...

"Okay!!" Lippi clapped his hands and looked at his disciples. Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little serious. Lippi felt that such a little too nervous atmosphere was not very good for the players' performance. "This game is very important, but don't forget that we are the ones leading the standings, and our opponents need to be nervous... You know, the Bulgarians are working hard for the playoffs..."

Hahaha!!

Everyone's laughter came from the locker room, and the tension was relieved.

...

The starting list of both sides has been played on the big screen of the stadium--

Italy's starting list 4-3-1-2:

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defenders: Zambrota, Cannavaro, Ziellini, Grosso

Midfielder: Camoranesi, De Rossi, Marchichio

Front Middle: Pirlo

Forward: Andre, Giuseppe Rossi

Bulgaria's starting list 4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Ivankov

Defenders: Manulev, Stoyanov, Anglov, Kishshev

Midfielder: Giogiev, Yangkov, S-Petrov, m-Petrov

Forward: Berbatov, Botiv

"Lippi sent Andre and

The combination, it seems that Luca and Girardino's self-recommendation are not too much))) The result…” Rossi looked at Italy's starting list and smiled. He began to tease the words of Girardino and Tony during the interview before the game.

...

Amid the overwhelming cheers, the captain of the Italian national team, Cannavaro, walked in front with the captain's armband. The players on both sides held the caddies' hands and walked out of the player's passage with big steps...

The players on both sides quickly spread out according to the formation. Xiangnan made a simple warm-up while pointing at his partner Rossi and saying something. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and it seemed that they were having a good chat...

"This game is very important for the Italian team. If we can win this game, we will have the possibility of qualifying two rounds ahead of schedule... Of course, if the Bulgarians lose the game, they will also say goodbye to the South African World Cup..."

...

"Haha, we see Andre seemingly excited. He is talking to Giuseppe loudly... In today's game, Andre's performance will directly determine the progress of the game... Well, I believe that Andre must know what Bozinov said before the game... Andre must have known... Andre's performance is worth looking forward to..."

...

"The referee Hansen from Sweden blew the whistle to start the game... The game officially began... Italy kicked off first!!!"

With Rossi's high voice accompanied by a crisp whistle from Swedish referee Hansen, 2010 South Africa World Cup, European Qualifiers

*******

With the crisp whistle, he knocked the ball back to Rossi in the south and ran to the frontcourt. There were also large flashes of flashes in the stands, and the shaking cheers almost made the earth tremble...

Rossi faced Martin Petrov who came up to press, and passed it directly:|(To Xiangnan's feet, the ball was touched by Petrov and went out of the sideline. Italy won the first out-of-bounds ball in the game...

Pirlo threw the ball to De Rossi. De Rossi did not stop and directly passed the ball to Marcisio who was inserted on the left...

Bulgaria used an offensive lineup in this game. Petrov was very active in the frontcourt and came up to press from time to time. In fact, this is also the request of the Bulgarian head coach, not allowing Italy to take the ball calmly and comfortably... For Bulgaria, the draw is a failure and will bid farewell to the South African World Cup...

Marcisio passed the ball to Xiangnan's feet, who was retreating and wanted the ball. Xiangnan adjusted the ball slightly. In front of him was the Bulgarian midfielder Giogiev who came up to press. Xiangnan's feet were circled back and forth on the ball. However, Giogiev was not moved. While retreating carefully, he leaned forward and pressed the center of gravity. His eyes were staring at the ball at Xiangnan's feet...

At this time, Xiangnan saw Pirlo in the middle suddenly penetrated forward, and his ankle shook gently. The ball swung and flew over from Giogiev's forehead. At Pirlo's feet, Pirlo directly passed the ball directly. After receiving the ball, De Rossi shot directly from the penalty area line. The ball was pulled with great strength and made a whistling sound, flying straight towards the goal...

Bulgarian goalkeeper Ivankov was highly focused. Facing the ball with great speed and strength, he did not dare to be careless at all. He hit the ball out of the penalty area with both fists. Rossi's follow-up shot was blocked by Anglov with his calf out of the baseline...

"Italy completed the first shot of the game!! Corner kick!! Good opportunity!! Andre ran back and forth in the penalty area,... the corner kick was taken... the shot!!! Andre's header hit the goal, and it was off..."

A large number of applause rang over the Olympic Stadium. Although the header towards the south was off the post, the fans still cheered... This is the Olympic Stadium in Turin... This is the territory of 'Prince Andre'!!!

*******

"Petrov's shot!!! Thanks to Gian Luigi!! His save is great!!!"

After 16 minutes of the game, Bulgaria completed the most threatening shot since the start of the first half. After Petrov received Berbatov's header in the penalty area, he directly volleyed. The ball was blocked by Buffon, who was in good standing and blocked the baseline with his calf. He was corner kick!!!

The Bulgarian won his first corner kick since the start of the game!!

"Janluca, pay attention to your position!!! You are alone, not a wooden stake!!!" Lippi whistled on the sidelines, and the roaring voice of the head coach of the Italian national team sounded on the sidelines. Just now, when Petrov's shot, Zanbrotta was still two meters away...

Petrov got up with some annoyance, patted the grass clippings on his hand, looked at Buffon who was roaring, lowered his head, ran to the corner kick point, and prepared to take the corner kick...

Petrov took a corner kick, and in the penalty area, Berbatov suddenly squeezed out Cannavaro, who was defending him, and directly shot with a header...

Buffon!!!

The door god of Italy!!!

He made the right move. Faced with this powerful header, Buffon chose a single boxing ball, the ball fell on the edge of the penalty area, and was then cleared to the frontcourt by Grosso.

Grosso's kick was a little awkward and landed on the penalty area line. Bozinov appeared in front of the ball and was about to shoot a cold shot. When he dropped his right foot, he was a bye. He slipped under his feet and fell on the turf of the Olympic Stadium...

Move south and suddenly starts, like a cheetah that escapes from the cage!!

Xiangnan took the lead, and at Bozinov's feet, he cleverly hooked the ball and hooked the ball out. At this time, S-Petrov also came over. Xiangnan shook with his ankle, and the ball jumped up and hit S-Petrov, bounced...

His right foot took a big step, and he leaned southward to block S-Petrov's body, stuck in position, and gently faced the ball with his chest. He stepped forward, and the ball fell down at the right time, then his thighs were tilted, so the ball was easy to control, so he controlled the ball with his right foot.

"Beautiful!!! Beautiful stop!! Andre moved... Beautiful... What a wonderful way to get rid of..." Rossi's aria roared over the Olympic Stadium...

A blue shadow gallops like the wind...
