Chinese champion

Chapter 283 The Road to Glory Suppresses
The 55000-seat AOL Arena in Hamburg was packed. The Chinese fans who hadn’t bought tickets for the last match the Chinese team participated in learned their lesson this time. When the match between the Chinese team and the Swedish team ended, they immediately used all their seats. There is no way to get tickets for this game. Who can come to Germany to watch the game is not rich or powerful. In the end, they got a total of more than 2 with the help of the local Chinese associations in Hamburg and even the embassy. Tickets, they occupy nearly half of the stadium, and more than 2 Italian fans are evenly divided in momentum.

Two huge national flags appeared on both sides of the stands. The five-star red flag and the red, white and blue tricolor flag competed for glory. Before the game started, the stands were already showing intense heat.

Players from both sides stood in the player tunnel waiting to play. Although the Chinese team's starting lineup included Pei Wei and Hu Yong, two players who played in Serie A, it was surprising that none of the 11 players from Italy played with them. People are teammates.

Among the 11 starters in Italy, four are from Juventus, three from AC Milan, two from Roma, and one from Fiorentina. He has not played once for Inter Milan, and Pei Wei certainly has no chance to compete with him.

Pei Wei, who had come out of the Serie A field, was going to say hello to familiar people, but all of them were opponents in the club. Pei Wei couldn't help sighing in his heart: It seems that the local players of Inter Milan are really good. It's not so rare. In the entire Italian team, there is only one player from Inter Milan, Materazzi, and Grosso can only be counted as half.

"That's good too! So as not to let go of your hands and feet during the game." Pei Wei encouraged himself.

Wu Qi is sizing up Buffon, Li Min is sizing up Nesta, Zhan Feng is sizing up Tony... Almost all the players of the Chinese team are sizing up their opponents in the same position as themselves. After all, this is their first time representing The national team played against a world champion team.

Led by the three on-duty referees, players from both sides jogged into the field, and the cheers in the stands immediately reached a peak.

The referee of this game is Larionda from Uruguay, and the two line referees are also from Uruguay. According to Feng Yu's information, this person's penalty is relatively lenient, but he is quite strict on tackles behind the back. For this reason, Meno Dee gave a piece of advice to the players on the back line, don't use the dangerous action of tackling behind the back unless it is absolutely necessary.

Team members from both sides took group photos and played the national anthem. Everything was going on in an orderly manner.

After picking sides, the Italian team took the lead in kicking off.

Toni passed the ball to Totti, and Totti passed the ball back to Pirlo's feet, and he organized the attack. AC Milan's midfielder has also replaced Totti as Italy's midfielder.

Zhanfeng and Shaoyi immediately rushed towards Pirlo, but Pirlo did not rush. First, he made a beautiful smash past the slow-moving Zhanfeng, and then crossed the ball to Cato who was next to him before Shaoyi came up. So, he ran forward, Gattuso immediately passed the ball back, and the ball fell to Pirlo's feet again.

Pirlo, who escaped the pressure of the two forwards of the Chinese team, looked up to observe the situation on the field, and then suddenly made a long pass before Pei Wei came up!
The ball flew towards the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team as if it had eyes. Tony jumped high while running and directly headed the ball towards the goal!
The ball hit very suddenly, but Wu Qi's energy was very concentrated, he flew across and grabbed the ball firmly in his hand.

Li Min has been guarding Tony by his side, but he still can't stop Tony's header shot. This guy is too strong and tall, with a height of 1.9 meters four and a weight of 89 kg, he is completely a heavy tank on the court.

Just like just now, although Li Min jumped up close to Tony, Tony's strong body almost completely ignored Li Min's defense, and pushed Li Min away in the air with his body alone, and Li Min's interference hardly had any effect. effect.

"Damn it, this is Shaquille O'Neal on the football field!" Li Min muttered, Du Wei pulled him up from the ground and said with a smile: "I think you'd better not fight him." Strength, you know, when combined with strength, not many defenders in Serie A are his opponents!"

"Tch!" Li Min waved his hand: "So what, I still don't believe I can't beat him!"

"It's useless to be stubborn..." Du Wei sighed: "Is it interesting to fight against him? Why don't you change your defensive method?"

The two of them were still talking there, but Wu Qi's loud voice rang out from behind: "You two! What are you talking about! They're coming up again!"

"So fast?" Du Wei and Li Min Qiqi were taken aback. Sure enough, the Italian attack started again.

Zhang Qi hoisted Pei Wei's pass into the penalty area. Zhanfeng knew that Zhang Qi would definitely pass the ball to his head, so he kept pushing into the penalty area. Unfortunately, he was facing the world's most powerful opponent. Good centre-back Nesta.

Nesta turned his body horizontally, and blocked Zhanfeng firmly behind him. Zhanfeng felt as if he had hit a wall, and he couldn't squeeze through. As a result, Buffon easily took the pass. Living.

Buffon immediately threw the ball to attack, and Pirlo received the ball near the center line. He did not take the ball, but distributed the ball to Camoranesi who inserted on the right.

The Italian-Argentine immediately began to break through on the right, and his opponent was Wang Xiaomin, a Chinese who grew up in Brazil.

An alternative Ba-A war.

Camoranesi saw Wang Xiaomin rushing towards him aggressively. Of course, he would not be so stupid as to face this guy who is notoriously ruthless. With a flat cross, the ball immediately shifted to the middle Totti feet.

Hu Yong went up to meet him. He knew that Totti is definitely the best attacking midfielder in Italy at present. He is good at long-range shots, has excellent set-pieces, is physically strong, has a good view of the overall situation, and has a spirit of playing football... This is the portrayal of the performance of the Roman Prince on the court. .

Hu Yong has confronted Totti more than once in the Serie A arena. From the beginning, he was not an opponent at all to the later mixed results. Hu Yong also made great progress because of this valuable experience. Although Hu Yong is still not sure that he can fully Look at Totti, but in this game, he has confidence.

After all, Totti recovered after resting for more than a month due to injury. In any case, the few 10 minutes of the last game were not enough for the Roman prince to reach his [-]% state.

Totti was not sure that he could get rid of Hu Yong, so instead of leading himself forward, he returned the ball to Pirlo.

Pirlo immediately made a straight pass, and the ball returned to Camoranesi's feet!

Wang Xiaomin didn't follow Camoranesi all the time, his attention was partially attracted by Totti and Pirlo who were holding the ball, so the Argentine immediately moved the ball forward and broke through the middle!
Wang Xiaomin's reaction was not too slow. He immediately turned around and chased after him. There were Du Wei and Li Min protecting him in front of the restricted area, so there should be no problem.

But Camoranesi did not cooperate with Tony in the penalty area. After bringing the ball to the top of the penalty area, he immediately grabbed the ball and volleyed vigorously before Du Wei came up to block it!
The ball flew to the lower left corner of the goal quickly, Wu Qi flew to pounce, but he missed the ball!
As the ball came out of the sliding door and hit the billboard behind the goal with a "bang", all the members of the Chinese team and the Chinese fans let go of their already nervous hearts. The Italian team gave the Chinese team two shots at the beginning. Get off your horse.

The players of the Chinese team really did not expect that the Italian team, which is known for its solid defense and ugly style of play, would launch a desperate attack from the very beginning. Is this still the Italian team?

Wu Qi sent the goal kick, Wang Xiaomin passed the ball to Hu Yong, and Hu Yong passed the ball to Pei Wei's feet near the center circle, and the two Italian midfielders immediately surrounded him.

Gattuso and Pirlo are also Pei Wei's old opponents. They are familiar with Pei Wei's extraordinary moves. Similarly, Pei Wei is also familiar with their defensive characteristics.

Pei Wei still tried his best to control the ball under the pincer attack of Gattuso and Pirlo. He leaned against Pirlo with his body and pushed back hard. When he felt the pressure behind him eased, he suddenly moved The ball knocked back, and then turned around quickly!
Pei Wei's instant explosive power is absolutely world-class. Pirlo, who was slow, was slowed down by Pei Wei's previous lean, and it was too late when he wanted to chase back.

But the moment Pei Wei got rid of Pirlo, Gattuso, who had been waiting by the side, seized the opportunity and rushed up suddenly, knocking Pei Wei to the ground from behind.

"It's this trick again!" Pei Wei got up from the ground depressed. This guy is always like this. He fouls when he can't defend himself, and he is very particular about the location. He can't shoot or pass directly. The place.

Lippi lit a cigar with approval in his eyes.

To deal with a player like Pei Wei who is accustomed to controlling the situation on the field, it is necessary to use continuous fouls to interrupt his rhythm. Of course, there are not many defenders who can do this, because fouls at inappropriate places can only It is to give the opponent a free kick. You must know that there are many good free kick players in the Chinese team.

What Gattuso did just now was very good. He stifled the Chinese team's offense in its infancy from the very beginning, and because the action was not big, it didn't reach the level of a card. The location is more than forty meters away from the goal. You Aren't there many free kick players in the Chinese team?Go ahead and shoot.

Hu Yong hoisted the ball directly into the penalty area of ​​the Italian team, but it was difficult to break the Italian defense with a high ball. Zhanfeng was blocked by Nesta again. Shaoyi wanted to compete for the top, but he lost to Cannavaro, who is about ten centimeters shorter than him, and the captain of the Italian national team showed amazing jumping ability, pushing the ball out of the penalty area.

The ball fell at the feet of Pirlo. Pirlo did not launch a long pass attack, but crossed the ball to Zambrotta who ran up from the backcourt.

Zhu Jun wanted to stop him, but his defensive ability was really not enough. Zambrotta easily got rid of him and went all the way to the half of the Chinese team.

"COMEON! BABY! Come on! Let's compete! Let's see who is the best full-back!" Wang Xiaomin looked very excited, and he quickly went up to meet him, still muttering incessantly.

Roberto Carlos is old, it is difficult to see his peak performance on the football field, Javier Zanetti failed to come to the World Cup, Ashley Cole was subject to transfer rumors He has not performed very well this year. If he wants to say that the best full-back this year is Gianluca Zambrotta from Juventus in front of him!

Wang Xiaomin's blood boiled all over. In his heart, he had always positioned himself as the world's super full-back, and it was Zambrotta who was facing him in this game. This is exactly what he showed. The best opportunity for self-ability!
The excitement made him forget where he was, and now he only had eyes for Gianluca Gianluca.

"King! Attention, your defensive area is empty!" Menotti shouted anxiously off the field, but unfortunately, his voice was quickly drowned out in the noisy scene environment.

Facing Wang Xiaomin who was rushing over aggressively, Zambrotta did not fight him head-on, but directly passed the ball diagonally to Totti in front.

"Oops!" Only then did Wang Xiaomin remember his mission. He quickly turned around and rushed towards Camoranesi who had already run to the empty space.

But Totti did not pass the ball to Camoranesi, who had already pulled out of the gap, but flicked his right foot and crossed the ball to Zambrotta who was plugged in!
Gianluca Zambrotta dunks the ball in the middle and drives straight in!

Wang Xiaomin, who was fooled again, rushed up again, but Zambrotta had already started first, even if he was fast, he could only catch up behind Zambrotta's side.

Just when Wang Xiaomin was about to take a risky tackle, he suddenly remembered Menotti's words before the game.

"Larionda is very strict on tackles behind the back, it's best not to use this kind of action!"

The possible consequences of receiving a red card made Wang Xiaomin hesitate for a while, but when he saw that Du Wei had come up to intercept him from the front, he was relieved.

The two attack back and forth, and Zambrotta will probably pass the ball, but Toni, Totti and Perotta are surrounded by Chinese players defending, and the only ones who are unguarded are Camoranesi and Zambrota. The passing route between the towers has been blocked by myself, so there should be no threat.

Just as he was thinking this way, Zambrotta, who seemed to have fallen into a dead end, suddenly lifted his foot, and immediately volleyed vigorously!
Du Wei, who was standing in front of him, raised his foot subconsciously to block it, but he failed to block it. The ball quickly flew out from under his raised left foot!

Wu Qi's line of sight was blocked by Du Wei in front of him. When he saw the ball flying from under Du Wei's crotch to the lower right corner of the goal, his reaction was a bit slower!
Wu Qi, who jumped up, almost felt that his fingers were about to touch the ball—unfortunately, it was still a little short, less than one centimeter away, and the ball flew past Wu Qi's hand!
"It should be qualified..." The players of the Chinese team all thought this way. Since Wu Qi tried his best to throw but failed to touch the ball, then the possibility of this shot sliding out is a little bit greater.

but……

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL——" the commentator of the Italian TV station screamed loudly with all his strength: "Gianluca Zambrotta! His shot made the Chinese team's defense line seem empty! You can see the Chinese team's goalkeeper's hand leaves The post was just over a goal away, but in the only way, Zambrotta put the ball in! Viva! Italy!"

Wang Jianxiang was also silent, and it took a long time before he said bitterly: "...this ball... can't be helped, Wu Qi has tried his best, but the opponent's shot speed, strength, and angle are all excellent! The first half In the 6th minute of the game, the Italian team relied on Zambrotta's shot to lead the Chinese team 1-0!"

Wu Qi got up from the ground depressed. Zambrotta's sudden shot slowed his reaction a little bit, maybe a few tenths of a second, but it was because of such a small time gap that Wu Qi couldn't touch it. to the ball.

Sometimes the difference between scoring and not scoring is only a few tenths of a second.

Wang Xiaomin was very remorseful, and to put it bluntly, he was the most responsible for the loss. In the loss just now, Wang Xiaomin's defect of playing streetball was fully revealed, that is, sometimes he was too impulsive and could not clearly understand the situation on the court. situation.

Although Wang Xiaomin has almost corrected this problem in his career for several years, he still commits it from time to time. This time, it is too late...

The accidental loss of the ball obviously hit the Chinese team very hard. You must know that when facing a team like Italy that has already mastered defensive counterattacks, it is undoubtedly very unfavorable to lose a goal so early. Italy can Pulling the game to a situation they are best at, if the Chinese team presses up, they will face a sharper counterattack from the Italian team. Even the Brazilian team may feel a headache in this situation.

But when the Chinese team was preparing to attack, the Italian team unexpectedly did not strengthen the defense, but strengthened the offense!
The overall plan of the Chinese team was disrupted. The seasoned Italian team immediately controlled the situation on the field and firmly suppressed the Chinese team in their own half. It was also stopped by the two midfielders of the Italian team with fouls and other means.

After 15 minutes of the game, the Chinese team was completely suppressed by the Italian team. The old strong team really deserved its reputation.
