Chapter 348 Frustrated France

Chapter 348 Frustrated France

Well, just 13 minutes after coming on as a substitute, he was taken off the field again by the coach. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that Nasri has not completed his warm-up, but I have to say that as a person who was replaced, even if the coach had a reason,

There must be some situations in Nasri's mind, it is inevitable!

Nasri opened the jacket handed over by the staff and returned to the bench with a bitter look on his face.

The game continued after the French coach replaced Nasri with central defender Boumsong.

Italy's midfield engine, Pirlo, who is also the most confident soul in setting kicks, easily converted the penalty kick created by Toni. Italy took the lead in the 22nd minute of the first half, 1-0.

Leading 1-0, France was sent off again.

Well, in this favorable situation, Italy really has no reason not to continue to maximize its advantage on the court! After all, 1-0 is not a safe score! Forget about using half a game in another game.

The Netherlands, who are playing as a substitute, will not be given any face. In short, if Italy wants to appear, the first thing to do is to play well first, and win over its opponent France first when it already has a great advantage.

!

Three minutes later, in the 25th minute of the first half, Italy once again had a great opportunity to expand the score.

In response to Casallo's cross, Tony got the ball in the penalty area and clearly had a chance to hit the goal. However, he did not take credit for it, but very reasonably passed the ball back to De, who came in from the back row.

Rosie![

Unfortunately, in the face of Toni's counter-attack, De Rossi's long-range shot was slightly higher than the goal. The French team once again escaped disaster!

One minute later, Italy, which had almost overwhelmed France on the court, once again had a good opportunity to expand the score!

Cassalo, Cassalo again, after perfectly breaking through the French defender on the wing, once again knocked the ball in front of Toni, who was in the middle of the penalty area and a little outside the small penalty area!

However, facing this perfect opportunity that was almost an empty goal, in this game, no, to be precise, in the entire European Cup, Tony, who had never found the feeling of shooting until almost halfway through the European Cup, once again wasted the card.

Salo gave him the chance to put it in his mouth!

Watching the ball slowly flying past the goalpost and out of the baseline, wasting opportunities again and again on the court, Tony, who himself felt embarrassed, buried his head deeply into his crotch like an ostrich.

!

And just after Tony wasted this opportunity again, I don't know what his teammates in England were thinking. In short, during the battle between Italy and France, they all focused their attention on Li Yi for the second time!

And one or two of them were all looking at it and nodding thoughtfully!

It is said that disasters do not necessarily lead to disasters, and today it was demonstrated that the French team, who survived a disaster but had consequences, could be regarded as having their best performance of the game after Tony saved them from suffering time and time again.

A chance to score!

Taking advantage of the gap created by Italy's entire army in order to expand the score, French midfielder Tularan was very beautiful and sent a precise through ball comparable to that of Zizou, accurately finding Henry on the striker!

As the most trustworthy player of the French team at present, Henry did not disappoint anyone in terms of movement!

With a perfect counter-run, it only took a few seconds for Henry to get rid of Chiellini, who had been sticking to him like a dog-skin plaster, and got a chance to stand alone!

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the influence of Italian center Toni on the other side of the court, when faced with Henry's sure-to-goal opportunities that he scored 10 times out of 10 during his peak period, Henry actually lost his temper and kicked the ball directly.

The stands!

"Damn!" What is the current situation of the French team? As the captain of the French team today, Henry knows better than anyone that with one less player, this kind of single opportunity may only be one in the whole game, but it is such a good one.

The opportunity was squandered by him so easily. It must be said that Henry's inner frustration was definitely much greater than that of Tony!

The game continues!

As the first half of the game was coming to an end, in the 43rd minute, just when fans from both sides were preparing to tidy up and use the break to resolve their personal psychological problems, the Italian team almost expanded the score on the field.

!

At that time, De Rossi was at the front of the French team's penalty area, using an acrobatic heel to pass the defender who was responsible for marking him. Seeing that if De Rossi was allowed to pass, it would most likely cause a huge damage to his own goal.

Threatened and forced to do so, Tulalan could only act tactically and left De Rossi on the lawn![

For such an obvious foul, the referee had no reason to ignore it. "Beep, beep, beep!" After three sharp whistles, Michel awarded Italy a very well-positioned free kick!

Well, free kick, this time, it is clear that the French team gives Pirlo another chance to perform! Because, in addition to the nickname Tactician Master, above Pirlo's head, he also has an alias called Free Kick Master!

So what? Without complete statistics, it seems that among the active players, he is the player with the highest goal scoring rate from set kicks!

So, when the French team is slightly to the right of the center of the penalty area and gives such a big gift with both hands, isn't it just looking for death?

However, just when everyone thought that Pirlo would take the free kick without hesitation, and the French team members also focused their defense on Pirlo, no one could have imagined that in the end, Italy would take the free kick.

, it’s not Pirlo, but Grosso, the left back who has been standing aside, seemingly covering for Pirlo!

Well, speaking of Grosso, I think Chinese fans will definitely be familiar with him, because it was this player who was the subject of commentary on the Huang Dazui incident on China 5 Channel!

Um, the topic is a bit far off topic!

Let’s get back to the game itself!

Grosso, who had always been regarded as a wingman, suddenly turned into the lead plane at Italy's set piece and took the lead in attacking! Although there was some suspicion of taking the lead, but when he was suspected of being manipulated in this way, Coupe's first reaction was

Yes, I must have hesitated!

Fortunately, to be able to serve as the main goalkeeper of the French team on such a grand stage as the European Cup, how can Coupe not have two brushes?

With a stretched diving save, Coupe was perfect in the end, rejecting Grosso's free kick that was aimed at a theoretical blind spot!

After watching the ball change its direction slightly with Kupe's fingertips, it hit the outside of the post and went out of the baseline. After completing the shot, Grosso, who remained motionless in that position, couldn't help but put his hands on his head and stomped on the spot.

Several kicks.

With the feeling of the ball coming out, he always thought that the ball was definitely going in!

…

After Grosso's free kick was slightly unlucky and failed to score, both sides failed to create any decent threat for the rest of the first half. In this way, the score of 1-0 was maintained.

Arrive at midfield!

"Pah, pah, pah!" During the halftime break between the Italian and French teams, McLaren certainly did not want the players to continue watching commercials together. Therefore, after the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, McLaren

Lun turned off the TV and then said to everyone, "Okay, after watching the first half of this game, what are your feelings or thoughts? Well, we are not having a formal meeting today, you can just

Speak freely!”

"Our opponents in the next round will be either Romania or Italy. France was sent off one man and fell behind by another goal. They are definitely out of luck in this cup!"

"..."

…

"Okay, okay!" He patted the table gently to signal the England players to quiet down. McLaren said conclusively, "You are all right, but not the whole team! What we are about to face in the next round of the game.

The opponent is not Romania, or Italy, let alone France, but the Swedish team!

Have you all forgotten that we haven’t finished the group stage yet?

Of course. I know what you mean by your answer, and I quite agree with what you said! And I would like to add a little bit, instead of winning Romania, if we enter the top 8 as the first in the group, the opponent we will encounter will definitely be Italy.

!

Well, you also watched their game against France! Objectively speaking, France's card strength is not stronger than ours in England, but it is not weaker at all. What do you think is the reason that makes them play so passively?"
