The Football Journey After Soul Shifting

Chapter 145 The Apennine Express

Although he has not been able to participate in any game of the European Cup, Liu Wen unexpectedly won his first honor in the European Cup.

In a poll conducted by the German Ulstein Polish branch of the two major Polish daily newspapers "Fact" and "Daily", Liu Wen ranked among the Italian players In the selection, Materazzi (bsp;materazzi), who has a violent temper and rich fighting experience in Serie A, was on the list.

In this poll, a total of the following players received votes and related comments.

Italy: Mariano Arini, tall and burly, with great strength and extremely superior physical condition, it is estimated that one person can bring down the entire midfield of England.

Subs: Materazzi, De Rossi, Gattuso

England: Wayne Rooney (Wayne Rooney), born in a boxing family, has a fierce personality, a sturdy figure, and a stunned young man with great fighting potential. According to media reports, he and his teammate Ferdinand have fought more than a dozen times in the bar. Most of them are his hands. <), Crouch (h)

Czech Republic: Jan Koller (jan koller), a tall man with strong muscles, should not be a good person.

Substitute: Heinze

Sweden: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (zlatan ibrahimovic), a judo black belt, is a true connoisseur.

Denmark: Paulson (bsp; viera), and several contests with Keane proved his strength.

Substitute: Lizarazu

Germany: Olive Kahn.Those who can bite the striker's ears can at least emulate Holyfield.

Substitute: Lehmann

……

When Liu Wen just saw this newspaper, Floro Flores had already called, and the blonde satyr gloated over the phone and said:

"Mariano, this newspaper is really fucking strong. I don't think it's wrong to rank you first. Look at your boxer's neck. Tsk tsk, it's not a problem to knock down a dozen. But Jan Koller can't, Although he has a sturdy figure, he has a flat face. Alas, looking at that temperament, he looks like a braised product, and his speed is slow, so he can't even run when fighting! Brother, when you have time, talk to Rooney and Let's compete against Daniel (De Rossi), you know, Rooney is a trainer. Daniel is the Italian kickboxing champion."

After listening to Flores' nagging, Liu Wen hung up the phone in a hurry, almost bursting out of laughter.But Flores was right, as far as he felt.Jan Kohler, like Paulson and Butters, is particularly slender, and there are three gold-plated characters of "please hit me" almost all over his face.

As for Rooney.Speaking of which, this Englishman is something he surpassed, just look at his appearance.This guy has a thick and short neck, a flat nose, and he is full of drive. He is also a top 3 player in a fight.It is said that when fighting in groups, one punch can open other people's mouths, but if you really want to fight yourself.The outcome is not certain.

Talking about a good fighter, the Romanian Contra is also a good one. This strongman who once played for AC Milan once severely injured the wild boar Davis who won the third place in the game against Juventus.

Fan Zhiyi!Thinking of General Fan, Liu Wen couldn't help laughing. Thinking back when he was studying in Shanghai, he saw this guy beat three of them by himself. If Fan Zhiyi could be counted, he should also be ranked in the top five.

Regardless of Liu Wen's strange imagination, I wonder if Trapattoni didn't let De Rossi, Materazzi, and Liu Wen start this game. Is it because they are afraid that they will fight with Paulsen, who is also on the list of the Danish team?

……

Now let's turn our attention back to the field.

At the Alfonso Henriquez Stadium in Guimaraes, the game was like a glass of lukewarm water, taking its time.At least in the first 10 minutes, neither side had any good chances.No need to think about it, this is the first match of the first round of Group C of the European Cup, and no one wants to lose in this match.

When the game progressed to 21 minutes, the Italian team created the first killing opportunity.Zambrotta made a long pass from the backcourt, Vieri unloaded the ball on the right, strode past Denmark's No. 19 Romedal (edahl), cleverly picked the pass to the middle, Del Piero followed up with a strong shot, Amidst the exclamations, the Danish goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen flew to the right to clear the baseline, and the Italian team got the first chance of a corner kick.

Del Piero took a corner kick, and Vieri rubbed it with a header. This unconscious action caused chaos in the penalty area of ​​the Danish team. The ball was like a hot potato and was kicked out of the penalty area by the Danish players. C-Zanetti was outside the penalty area After getting the ball, he shot a cold arrow, and the ball flew high into the air amidst the laughter.

No. 206 minutes, Totti took the ball in the midfield, hit his heel, turned around beautifully, and easily broke through Paulson. Liu Wen saw it clearly from the bench and just wanted to applaud, but the strong Paulson was on the side With a fierce tackle, Totti was dribbled away with the ball.The referee made a gesture to continue the game. Obviously, the ball was not fouled.

"You're still young, boy, wait, I'm going to fuck your asshole hard." Liu Wen heard Paulson say in Totti's ear.

……

Five minutes later, the Danish team also ushered in their own chance.Romedal crossed the penalty area from the right. Danish striker Thomason (Asson) stretched out his foot, trying to unload the ball and hit the goal, but Cannavaro didn't give him any chance. Cannavaro's collision Next, Thomason’s soles seemed to have been smeared with a layer of lubricant, and he slipped and fell to the ground. The referee ignored him. Ebbe Sand followed up with a push shot, and the ball hit Nesta’s body and bounced off the baseline. The referee showed Thomasson a yellow card for diving.

There was a small commotion among the Danish fans.They booed to express their dissatisfaction with the penalty.But judging from the slow motion, Thomason is indeed a flop.

Judging from the scene.The Italian's chain defense made it difficult for the Danes, who are more used to anti-reverse defense, except for Sander's shot from inside the penalty area.Basically no other chance.To be honest, it is not easy even if it is an All-Star team to fight against Italy~

Seeing his teammates playing in a calm manner, Liu Wen felt relieved, but watching the game from the sidelines was really frustrating and impetuous. He glanced at Trapattoni, and the old coach sat next to him in an even manner, as if It has been planned for a long time.

No.308 minutes, Vieri intercepted Romedal's ball.Easily squeezed the Danish midfielder behind him and gave the ball to Totti. Totti took the ball and ran a few steps. Poulsen had already chased him from the side. Facing the fierce Danish midfielder, Totti dared not be careless , Throwing the ball obliquely to Del Piero, who was plugged in behind, was then brought down on the lawn by Paulson.

Del Piero's breakthrough appeared to be fruitful, he used fake moves to deceive Claudrup.There is no temper for the Udinese defender.

If Del Piero's feint originated from Rome, then the Udinese defender's back move is more like the barbaric Vandals (a branch of the Germanic people who invaded Rome in the Middle Ages), Claudrup With a concealed elbow movement.Put Piero severely down to the ground.The referee hesitated and awarded a free kick of about 31 meters.

For Totti, this ball should be within range.In the game against Lecce last season, Totti scored two free kicks in almost the same position.

Six Danish players formed a wall in front of the ball.Totti and teammate Perotta, who had the most superb footwork in the Italian team, both stood in front of the ball and talked in low voices.

This should be the No. 4 free kick tactic set before the game, Liu Wen thought.

Totti runs up.Perotta covered, and the free kick kicked by the Roman captain slid an arc in the air, passed the wall, and flew to the upper left corner of the goal at a very fast speed.

The experienced Sorensen did not hesitate, and quickly moved to the left of the goal, ready to take off, and hit the ball with both fists.

But Sorensen didn't touch the ball. The ball had an inconspicuous drop in the air and bounced on the turf in front of the post, barely shaving the goal.

Some of the Italian fans thought the goal had been scored, and just about to cheer, they sighed in unison, followed by applause.

After a false alarm, the Danish team gradually gave up their offense, and the two sides finally shook hands temporarily at 0:0, ending the first half of the game.

**********

Back in the locker room with the team, Trapattoni first affirmed the team's defense, and then said that the offense will be strengthened in the second half. He glanced at Liu Wen, "Mariano, after the second half starts, warm up first and be ready to play at any time." , and Francisco." Trapattoni said to Totti: "In the second half, you should retreat appropriately and pay attention to the connection with the midfield. In the first half, the disconnection of the midfield was serious." For Trapattoni, in the After losing the World Cup, the European Cup can be said to be his last chance to prove himself and get a new contract. He had to work hard to command.

For the performance of the Italian team in the first half, the two commentators on Italian national TV were not very satisfied.Famous player Riva believes that the current Italian midfielders are not aggressive enough and there are no players who can hold the ball. They are often surrounded by two or three players from the Danish team in the midfield, especially Paulson. Totti brings a lot of pressure. "Italy is like a giant without a heart. I hope Mr. Trapattoni can make adjustments as soon as possible," Riva said.

Trapattoni did not make any adjustments. The lineup in the first half was brought to the second half intact. The defense was still solid, but the offense was still bad.On the contrary, the Danish team seemed to have taken an aphrodisiac collectively in the second half, attacking Italy for a while.

Romedal made a pass from the right, Thomason flew the header in the chaos, and Sander missed the header relay.

Immediately afterwards, Paulson took a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar; when Buffon drove the ball to the midfield, Vieri jumped over Sander and sent the header to Camoranesi, an Argentine descendant. Although his dribbling movements are dexterous and effective, it is inevitable that he will be easily intercepted by the tougher Claudrup.

Two minutes, that is, the seventh minute of the second half, the Danish team completed the most threatening shot of the game. Sorensen threw the ball to attack, Romedal got the ball straight, and Thomasson's lateral running opened Cannavaro's defense, but unexpectedly did not catch the ball, but suddenly paused and ran to the right.

Inertia of thought eventually deceived Cannavaro, and Sander, who stepped in later, received the ball smoothly and directly formed a one-on-one with Nesta.

Under the defense of Nesta, Sander finally did not choose to make a sudden move, but moved safely and quickly laterally, and took a cold shot with his left foot!

The shot went over Buffon's fingers, but was cleared by Zambrotta on the goal line. 1

For the wonderful performance of the veteran Sander, the Danish fans gave warm applause and whistles to express their support for the team. In the middle of the stands, the fans in red and white jerseys sang "pele" Banner, I don't know if the Danes want Pele to continue his magical language and let Italy go home in disgrace?

"Temporarily close the live audio track." The director of the Italian TV station said, but the noisy but neat Danish singing on the scene had already reached the ears of the Italian fans.

"Ole-ole-ole, says Andersen: 'Don't cry for Italy!' The blue shirts are doomed to go home with their tails tucked."

Trapattoni finally couldn't sit still, he glanced at the bench, "Daniel (De Rossi), you come on and replace Chris. Mariano, have you warmed up yet? Are you ready to replace Arizono?" Delo (Piero), you play the left midfielder position after you play, don't worry about defense, control the ball more."

The fourth official held up the electronic substitution board, and the Italian fans noticed the change in the team. Immediately, there were cheers and applause.

You know, although some experts are not optimistic, Liu Wen's popularity in Italy is not much worse than that of Ronaldinho in Brazil.

It was finally time to show his talent in front of the world. Liu Wen stood nervously on the sidelines, listening to the applause of tens of thousands of fans.

Although there will only be more people at the San Paolo Stadium, the feeling of playing in the European Cup is completely different.From this moment on, he will officially enter the eyes of fans all over the world.

After high-fiving Del Piero, Liu Wen and De Rossi set foot on the turf of the Guimaraes Stadium together.The world seems to be wider.

********

As soon as Liu Wen came on the field, the defense of the Danish team seemed a bit chaotic—compared with Del Piero, who had already begun to decline, the young and strong Liu Wen was better than the Zebra Prince in terms of technique and offensive ability In the last few minutes, Nicholas Jensen and Helveg, who were in charge of defending him, gradually began to panic.

In the No.603 minute of the game, that is, 5 minutes after Liu Wen came on the field, he broke through Paulson, Jensen and Hellwig with speed after stealing at Thomasson's feet, and rushed 50 meters to the bottom. After getting the attention of defender Claudrup who played for Udinese, he knocked the ball back into the penalty area, but it was a pity that Totti and Vieri, who followed the outflanking, reacted a little slowly, and the ball was finally stepped on by more than ten feet. He was kicked out of the bottom line by the Danish players.

I don’t know if Berlusconi, who is watching the ball at the Prime Minister’s Office, will have the feeling of "Totti is slow! Mariano rocks!", but it can be predicted that at this moment, TV commentators from at least ten countries are screaming: "One A frighteningly fast 'Apennine Express' on the highway!"
