"Tch, you're really out of breath when you say you're fat! Haha, let's not talk nonsense. Let me first introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides for today's game!
Today, Italy has two main players, Pirlo and Gattuso, suspended. Their coach Donadoni had to use Ambrosini and Aquilani to replace the above two players. In other positions, Italy has nothing
Too many changes.
The goalkeeper is still No. 1 Buffon, and the defense includes Zambrotta, Panucci, Chiellini and Grosso.
The midfielder is Aquilani, Ambrosini, De Rossi and Perrotta whom I just mentioned.
Cassaro and Toni on the front line!
Well, one thing worth mentioning here is that fans who usually like to watch Italian games should know how important Pirlo is to this Italian team!
So, if Italy wants to benefit from today's game with England, I think the first urgent question they need to solve is who will replace Pirlo on the field!
After seeing this starting lineup, I thought, perhaps, De Rossi from Roma is the most likely to play the role of Pirlo's substitute! [
As for whether De Rossi can perfectly replace Pirlo's role on the court, this will only be known as time goes by!
In addition, let’s take a look at England again!
Similarly, England coach McClaren did not make any major adjustments in this game!
The goalkeeper is still Robinson.
On the back line, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, and Gary Neville lined up in sequence!
Huh? Look, everyone, McLaren made some changes in the selection of midfielders today!
Lampard, who is better at grabbing points in front of the goal, replaced Gerrard, who played very well in front. From the looks of it, McLaren is ready for a tough battle!
As for the other three candidates in the midfield, there are no changes. They are still Carrick and David Beckham and speedster Downing!
As for the front line, it is Owen and Li Yi, a super combination of one tall and one fast!
Okay, the game has started, let’s get into the game together!”
"Toot, toot, toot, toot!" With the referee's whistle, the match between England and Italy began.
As soon as the game started, England changed from the stagnant attitude they had when they played Spain, the only strong team in the group stage. They adopted a resolute offensive attitude of replacing Gerrard with Lampard, opened up their posture, swung three axes, and then
The ax struck Italy's head, one ax at a time!
On the other hand, Italy, perhaps, without Pirlo, the absolute soul of the midfielder, Italy's offense will be slightly inadequate. Without Gattuso, the world-class midfielder, the interception ability of the midfielder,
It’s also gone down a notch slightly!
However, look at Italy’s defense line. It is an absolutely first-class reinforced concrete defense line! It is called the best defense line in the world, and no one will be able to say otherwise! [
After withstanding England's fierce attack in the opening minutes, Italy quickly organized their own, quick counterattack!
However, when Italy calmed down and started to counterattack, any fan who knew a little bit about football would easily see that without Pirlo's brains in the midfield, Italy's attack, which was not a sharp one, suddenly fell apart.
One grade, from the second-rate in the world to the third-rate in the world!
It is true that a world-class defense can withstand England's attack, but Italy's world-class offense is not very strong to penetrate England, but it is definitely not an easy task to force a strong defense!
Therefore, the game gradually evolved into a tug-of-war between the two sides near the midfield, where you would foul and I would steal, and I would steal and then you would foul!
Before I knew it, the game lasted 20 minutes!
In the past 20 minutes, except for Beckham's free kick 35 meters away from the goal, neither side, which was very embarrassing to the fans, had a shot!
Well, what do fans watch in a football match? Isn’t it just a goal? At this moment, both sides didn’t even score a goal, let alone a goal. There’s actually no need to say more about that scene! It can be summed up in one word——
Those who watch it will feel sleepy!
As the Premier League Golden Boot this season, and having almost booked the Golden Boot for this cup after the group stage, Li Yi was very honored to be the one to wake up the audience 22 minutes into the game!
In the 22nd minute of the first half, Li Yi received Beckham's iconic full-moon scimitar cross from the right wing and completed the game to the current position. The two sides are the most threatening, and it is also the closest to a shot.
offensive!
At that time, it was Lampard who intercepted the ball from De Rossi in the midfield and quickly handed the ball to Beckham near the center line!
Beckham only ran 5 or 6 meters with the ball, and soon passed the ball to the front line through a direct pass, withstanding Italian defender Chiellini's Li Yi children's shoes.
Facing Beckham's pass, Li Yi actually wanted to turn around at the first moment and use the moment of stopping the ball to directly wipe out Chiellini!
However, when Li Yi twisted his waist vigorously and was about to turn around, Li Yi suddenly discovered that he couldn't turn around despite meowing!
Well, as a non-disabled person, why can't Li Yi control his body according to his own ideas on the court?
The answer is simple, that is - Chiellini did something wrong!
That’s right, I’m really relieved!
When Li Yi lowered his head and watched Chiellini use his experience and the blind spot of the referee's perspective to grab his two small hands in his trouser pockets, he calmed down the violent emotions in his heart. Soon Li Yi insisted
Between turning around but losing sight of it, or giving up and turning around, I chose the latter!
Just kidding, what if Li Yi "commits the crime against the wind" and insists on turning around? What if his pants are pulled down by Chiellini? Li Yi can run well. Let's put it aside, from now on, Li Yi still has to go out to pick up his sister.
What?
Therefore, this is not a problem that Li Yi needs to think about at all!
However, not insisting on his own ideas and continuing to turn around does not mean that Li Yi has no ideas for this attack!
During the previous twisting of the head, I had already spotted Beckham moving forward at high speed along the wing after passing the ball. In addition, there were no defensive players around to interfere, so I didn’t have to think too much about Beckham’s pass.
Coming behind him, Li Yi pretended not to be afraid of dropping his pants and continued to turn around. In fact, he was very clumsy. Using the kinetic energy of turning around, he used the outside instep of his right foot as if juggling, and with just one move, he kicked the ball.
, let the ball go out again!
"!" Thinking that Li Yi was about to turn around, Chiellini's little move was just a small move. He was also afraid that the referee would see it! If he pulled someone's pants and was seen by the referee, a red card would be minor! Therefore, when Li Yi persisted,
When he was about to turn around, all Chiellini could actually do was to quickly withdraw his hands. As for interfering with Li Yi's pass? Let's forget it.
By the way, in fact, even if Chiellini was not busy cleaning up his little moves this time around Li Yi's pass, there was nothing he could do about it!
After all, Li Yi's big body is not made of cotton! You want Chiellini to cross Li Yi's human barrier and complete the steal in a short period of time. This is undoubtedly an unrealistic thing!
Let's get back to the subject, but after seeing the ball on the court being kicked back to the right side of the court by Li Yi acrobatically, Li Yi was very lucky this time. In passing, which is not his strong point, he achieved 100% perfection!
Because the ball knocked out by Li Yi really fell to the feet of the running Beckham exactly as it had been accurately calculated with those precision instruments!
