The Football Journey After Soul Shifting

Before the start of the game, Rehhagel had inspired the Greek players with the allusion of the Salamis naval battle-in 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes I led an army of 100 troops composed of 30 nationalities and a warship of 1207 The ship crossed the Hellespont, went on an expedition to Greece by land and water, and came to Athens.At that time, the Greek coalition forces had only 11 army and 400 navy ships. However, these 400 warships defeated the enemy in the Gulf of Salamis by using the narrow terrain and the opponent's underestimation, and gained control of the Aegean Sea.

Now, the script seems to be wrong, and it is the more powerful 'Persians' who are ahead of Greece—but then again, the Greeks are not so easy to admit defeat.

……

Judging from the form of the game in the next few minutes, the Greeks did not panic because of this conceded goal, but tightened their defensive formation.And what about Italy?As mentioned earlier, the Italian football philosophy is to return football to the jungle, and make morality and rules become old-fashioned romances-Trapattoni is worthy of the title of gold medal coach. He set up an iron barrel formation on the defense line in a moral manner, trying to fight the Greek team's counterattack.

At this moment, an interesting situation appeared on the field. The formations of the two teams were very low. On the lawn of the Guangming Stadium, there was a situation similar to that of the Chu River and the Han Dynasty.The two teams competed fiercely around the midfield.

... Just as Italy has Italian philosophy, Greece also has Greek romance. Under this deadlock, Rehhagel was ashen-faced, but did not make any arrangements.Perhaps in his view, one goal behind is just the beginning.But it may not be the end.

Pirlo struggled under the defense of Basinas, but the in-situ possession of the Italian midfielder is not a joke.He avoided the interference of Basinas by knocking the ball with his heel, and turned to observe the situation.The defensive formation of the Greeks remained intact.Pirlo hesitated for a moment, and rubbed the ball to Liu Wen.

Under the defense of Kathuranis and Delas, Liu Wen failed to control the ball well, and was pinched by the two together, and fell to the ground like cutting a tree.

Liu Wen put his hands together, got up from the lawn, and spat on the ground: "You nasty guy."

I have to admit that from the beginning of this game to the present, Kachulanis' defense against Liu Wen was very successful.But if you ask me.Presumably Kathuranis will be unbearable to look back on the more than 40 minutes of the first half - shutting a normal person in a room with a crazy elephant, everyone must know how inhumane, Kathuranis first half There is such an illusion, and now he feels that every bone is aching.

The first half ended quickly, and the Italian got his wish and returned to the locker room with a score of 1:0.

During the intermission, Trapattoni fine-tuned the formation, and Liu Wen was withdrawn to the shadow forward position by him, assisting the defense when necessary.

In another lounge, Rehhagel was more aggressive.He gave up the 451 formation in the first half and replaced the attacking midfielder Zagorakis with striker Zisis Vrizas who played for Perugia in Italy, strengthening the attack to a certain extent .

"In the second half, Angelos (Basinas). Konstantinos (Katuranis) You two continue to sweep the midfield, Konstantinos, you have a heavy task. In the second half, continue against Mariano- Arini's full mark. Once the midfielder gets the ball, don't hesitate to kick it directly to the wings. Gysis, you are fast. Chase the ball back with all your strength, and then send it into the penalty area as soon as possible. Cannavaro is not tall enough. Charisteas will help us level the score. Remember, we are not here on vacation. We have nothing to lose. Italians are afraid of failure."

Rehhagel showed the tactical boards to his players one by one, and did not put them away until they all nodded.

……

"At the beginning of the second half, the speed of the Greeks increased. Basinas made a long pass. The Greeks cooperated with the wing to create a chance for a cross. Gysis Frizas passed the ball into the penalty area! Check Risteas' size is a guiding light in the penalty area, Fabio Cannavaro is like a child in front of him..."

As the commentator said, as soon as the second half started, the Greeks used Charisteas' height advantage to create a threat to the Italian team.Facing Charisteas, who is 1 meters tall and has amazing bounces, Cannavaro, who is only 91 meters tall, said he was under pressure and was always easily pushed by the opponent.

Under Cannavaro's defense, the ball was not headed straight, and passed the crossbar high, without posing a threat.

The keen Trapattoni stood up quickly. The offense of the Greek team seemed to be completely different from that of the first half. In the first half, the Greek team completely gave up the wing attack. The only shot was a long pass from defender Delas A header from the penalty area, but at the beginning of the second half, they created a threat from the wing, which seems a bit wrong.

Before Trapattoni changed his lineup, the Greeks' second attack soon followed. Frizas played the role of a surprise soldier. The cross received a pass from De Las and passed the ball into the penalty area from the right wing again. The ball was in the penalty area, and the Italian crowd passed by, and was pushed out of the bottom line by Nesta.

Karagunis took a corner kick, but Zambrotta missed it. In the middle, Charisteas jumped up high. He once again overwhelmed Cannavaro and headed the ball towards the goal.

The ball whizzed past, but failed to cross Buffon's palm. The world's number one goalkeeper's goal line technique is very solid, and he blocked the ball very stretchedly. Plugged in, grabbed the point, and shoveled into the net from five meters away.

"goooooooal!!!" The on-site commentator roared, "In the 12th minute of the second half, the Greek team unexpectedly equalized the score. Italy thought that the Greek team would strike out, but the hitter Frizas did not hesitate. Hit the ball with a swing! Incredible, can Greek mythology continue?"

The TV lens clearly captured the topless Greeks wearing the costumes of the Greek gods in the stands, celebrating at the top of their lungs—maybe this really is the mighty power of the gods?

Trapattoni quickly made adjustments. He replaced Gattuso with Materazzi and adopted an awkward formation of three centre-backs.

Mitchell Hensel was sitting in the stands wearing a black suit, and his bright eyes followed Liu Wen's figure.Since the last spring breeze in the Roman apartment, she has always remembered this little man in her heart.

"It seems that he encountered a little trouble today." Mitchell Hensel thought to himself.

Even if the position is withdrawn to the midfield, the entanglement between Liu Wen and Katuranis continues. The two have danced face to face for 70 minutes. In the recent period, without the help of Basinas, Liu Wen It is also quite difficult to play-the perseverance of this big-nosed midfielder is reminiscent of "Dragon Quest". Not all brave players have the perseverance to fight a Godzilla for 60 minutes.

In fact, quite a few big-nosed midfielders have already been eyeing this big-nosed midfielder. It is a great honor for defensive players to be able to stare at Mariano Arini.

As the minutes passed, Liu Wen could feel that Kachulanis' defense was weakening.It's almost time to start fighting back.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Liu Wen finally got an excellent opportunity. He took the ball in the right side of the penalty area, broke through the opponent's defender No. 5 Dellas, and shot from close range. Polydis pressed under his body.

In the 76th minute, Liu Wen made a comeback, and his "shooting grocery store" opened again. After running unremittingly, he received a pass from Pirlo's back heel and shot vigorously in front of the penalty area. This heavy artillery passed through the crowd , going straight to the top right corner of the goal, Nikopolidis will save the ball.

The defense of the Greek team was finally crumbling under the ravages of Godzilla.

The Italian fans seemed to have found their backbone again, their enthusiasm spewed out like lava, they clapped their hands neatly, stomped their feet, and sang the Italian team song again: "the fever" (Crazy Global). <,..."

Kathuranis finally felt powerless. Just now, he was thrown off by his opponent's fancy dribble. He wanted to adjust his center of gravity again, but he fell to the ground.

Maradona once said: "Playing with Mariano, I can find the joy of playing with all types of strikers. Sometimes I think of Caniggia, and sometimes I think of Paolo Rossi."

Presumably the Greek players thought so too... After knocking Kachulanis down, Liu Wen was very fast and moved forward along the left.

Basinas stepped forward to block. Of course, he studied Liu Wen's game video and concluded that his dribble kept accelerating and never slowed down. But this time he miscalculated. The ball was pulled and dunked, and he was left far behind in the ingenious variable frequency and speed change.

Variable frequency, variable speed, and direction——After Liu Sanbian broke through Basinas, the entire defense line of Greece was shaken. Liu Wen handed the ball to Totti and beckoned to him for the ball. This time Totti quickly passed the ball Came back, but the ball was not passed well, was touched by Cadillas, turned into a half-high ball, and the central defender Delas, who was in charge of defending him, tried to poke the ball away from the side.

Dellas' attempt was unsuccessful. Liu Wen turned around and picked the ball with his feet. "Logbook" flew into the air obediently. He nodded his head and stopped the ball beautifully. The heel bounced the ball back to the front of the body... In a daze, Draas was deftly thrown behind by this movement,

The heartbeat gradually accelerated as the distance from the goal shortened. Under the watchful eye of Dellas, Liu Wen quickly broke into the penalty area. ((to be continued...)
