Chapter 287 Top-Heavy Brazilian Team
For the England and Italy teams, more than half of the more than 2 fans at the Velodrome Stadium disappeared in an instant, and only sporadic diehards were still waiting for the team to say goodbye.

Seeing the unrequited expressions of the Italian players, even Beckham sighed for them for a second.

Why do I feel that these Italian fans who came to watch the game are not pious at all, they look like they are here in a group
England fans immediately made up a song similar to "Anyone can play defensive counterattacks, because even Italy can play", which made the old Maldini's face turn red and turn pale, with embarrassment written all over his face.

In this world, there are people who are sad and there are people who are happy. Hoddle stood beside the England players, his face full of joy.

Beckham felt that following this rhythm, if the England team reached the semi-finals tomorrow, this tactical control might not be far from entering the room.

Although he has not experienced a major event since coaching the England team, he sent the Italian team to Russia in the World Cup qualifiers, and he can be regarded as a head coach with works.

And this game also found a replacement for Gascoigne by mistake: Scholes.

Although Ginger Head is ugly and can be easily overlooked on any occasion, but this guy does have two brushes.

Scholes has short legs, but he is really strong and has a good head.

In terms of long passes, Beckham's reputation has already covered all the continents involved in the five rings. In fact, Scholes is no worse than him in this skill, and Ginger's short pass ability is a must.

To what extent, he usually robs the circle to play games, no matter how bad the ball passed by his teammates is, he can pass the ball. He is the well-deserved king of robbing Manchester United.

The England team will most likely choose a 4-4-2 formation next year. Among the two positions in the middle, European Beast Waist Ince can basically reserve a spot. As long as he is healthy, he must be the best quality meat grinder in the World Cup.

Originally, Hoddle was going to reserve another spot for Gascoigne, but it was not known whether Gascoigne didn't know how to open it, or people didn't recognize him at all. In short, Hoddle got frustrated and his confidence was greatly frustrated.

As expected by Beckham, the media praised the England team the next day. The French media believed that the English used black humor to deeply hurt the Italians.

The England team felt that the concrete defense was a sham, and that any team with decent overall strength could use this unseemly tactic to achieve decent results.

On the other hand, the Italian media criticized the conservative tactics of the Italian team. They had to shrink back when they were able to play vigorously. As a result, they were forced to attack after a goal, and then scored another goal. They didn't have the temperament of a strong team at all.

Facing the "suggestions" from the outside world, the old Maldini responded lightly: "Our choice is not wrong, but luck is not good enough. We have a mature tactical system and players who are qualified for this system. We are very confident to reproduce the glory of 1982."

At this time, the bricks and beasts jumped out to denounce the old Maldini, and the Italian coach simply refused to accept interviews, out of sight and out of mind.

Beckham did not expect that the old Maldini was still a stubborn stubble, and he would not back down in the face of the aggressive media.

Although he dislikes the anti-counterattack tactics of the Italian team a bit, as a head coach, there is nothing wrong with insisting on his own philosophy.

If Ferguson had obeyed the calls of the outside world two seasons ago and spent money to buy some famous players to fill the vacancies left by Ince, Mark Hughes and Kanchelski, Manchester United may now be a featureless Premier League team.

Doing what everyone is doing, without leaving your own imprint in the sky full of stars, is destined to only become dust in the long river of history.

However, Ferguson resisted the pressure and left the opportunity to his young players, stretching his head to challenge the Premier League. After the final success, Jinyuan football began to disintegrate slowly, and the clubs in the Premier League began to think carefully about other ways out.

On November 11th, the Four Nations Invitational Tournament won a strong duel. The two participating teams were the champion and runner-up of the 14 World Cup, Brazil and Italy.

In the World Cup final three years ago, Brazil and Italy scored a goalless draw in 3 minutes, and finally entered a penalty shootout.

The scene of Baggio flying a penalty kick at the last moment is so profound that fans all over the world will never forget that game.

Melancholic Prince is not in the old Maldini's list, but the Italian still misses that game.

It is reported that the old Maldini carefully dissected the technical characteristics and behavior habits of the "Shuangluo" and showed it to his players. The Italian team is determined to have a zero-seat Shuangluo.

Probably there was some plot in my heart. After the game started, the Italian players involuntarily attacked and grabbed the midfield with the Brazilian.

Dunga was interfered by Italian midfielders in turn, and the rhythm of passing and receiving the ball was always wrong. Leonardo was completely unable to display his technical characteristics in front of Maldini.

In the last game, the little dribbling prince Denilson, who was born out of nowhere, had no room for a breakthrough under the care of Panucci and Dino Baggio in turn.

Because of the existence of the "Rolo-Rolo combination", people were generally more optimistic about the Brazilian team before the game.

But after the game started, it was Italy who made the first appearance.

In the 7th minute, Tank Vieri succeeded in attracting the central defender Aldair to the right and turned around to make a pass. Another Brazilian central defender Serio Silva accidentally slipped and Del Piero headed the ball into the net in front of Cafu.

1 to 0, the Zebra Prince's hair fluttered in the wind, and the Italian team quickly cheered up after losing to the England team.

This is not over yet. In the 22nd minute of the game, Albertini used the Brazilian goalkeeper Taffarel to direct the wall to gain a foothold. He quickly sent a free kick and shot directly from a long distance. As a result, the ball hit the unlucky Aldair and reflected it into the net.

2:0!Italy expanded the score.

Seeing that Aldair, who was a little sluggish, made continuous mistakes, Beckham suddenly felt that the Brazilian team didn't seem to be that good.

To be honest, their defense looks old.

As long as they can withstand the offense of the Brazilian team, knocking on their goal is not as difficult as imagined.

And the Brazilian team doesn't look as good as the legend says.

It is not unreasonable for Italy to take a two-goal lead. Before the game, the old Maldini did enough homework to deal with the "Rolo combination". Ronaldo and Romario will receive key attention no matter when and where they are.

The classic moment that happened in the 25th minute is the best proof.After receiving the ball, Ronaldo quickly turned around and prepared to start up. Cannavaro, who had lost his position, and Maldini, who came to defend but was also left behind, could only choose flying tackles at the same time.

Although he was whistled for a foul, it did effectively prevent the aliens from attacking. What I want to add is that even if Ronaldo dribbled the ball this time, it would be difficult to move forward even if he was not shoveled, because it was right in front of him, and Costacurta was waiting there. Italy's defense was simply impenetrable.

But the Brazilian team is a super strong team after all. The players are all seasoned veterans. After adapting to the Italian style of play, they quickly made adjustments and forced the opponent to play a defensive counterattack.

In the 35th minute, the Brazilian team reaped the reward.Left-back Carlos used short corner kick tactics to reach the left side of the penalty area and volleyed. The ball hit Italian midfielder Lombardo and then refracted into the net.

2:1, Brazil pulled back a goal.

The Brazilian team gradually gained momentum, and the 19-year-old dribbling master Denilson suddenly entered the state, and the Italian players couldn't look down on him at once.

The Brazilian teenager swayed left and right after taking the ball, and his fake moves were dazzling, but his playing gave people an illusion of cleanliness.

Sometimes, the phenomenon cannot explain the essence, this little guy has two brushes.

In the second half, the two teams remained stalemate until Brazilian defender Aldair once again changed the trend of the game by himself.

In the 61st minute, Inzaghi, who just replaced Vieri, took the ball on the left side of the penalty area. He used a not very smooth breakthrough to wipe the Brazilian central defender, and then broke into the penalty area.

Aldair knocked Pipo down with his hands up and down like stealing the bell, and sent Del Piero another penalty.

3 is better than 1!

With 30 minutes left in the game, Brazil trailed Italy by 2 goals, and all Brazilian fans withered.

Commentators in France and England agree that Brazil is hopeless, but Brazil is no ordinary team.

In the next game, Ronaldo and Romario each scored a goal. The three Italians couldn't block Ronaldo, and Romario almost brought the ball into the goal.

3 to 3, the Brazilian players danced on the court, and the Italian players shivered in the trenches.

In the end, the Italian team did not allow the opponent to score any more goals. The two teams ended with a score of 3 to 3, leaving a wonderful goal battle.

The Italian team played a game with a lot of attitude. In the Brazilian team, all players except Aldair performed well.

The biggest problem for the Football Kingdom right now is the lack of support in the midfield. In next year's World Cup, they will let a J-League player serve as the main midfielder.

This year's Brazil team is like some "frogmen" in the gym, only training their upper limbs but not their legs.

The offense is picturesque, the defense sucks.

After watching the Brazilian team's game, Beckham was also a little pampered, and he was eager to compete with the Brazilian team.

But he is also interested in the next game. He wants to see what kind of quality the team Jacquet built without hesitating to give up Cantona.

Some things don’t feel special just watching the game, and it’s the most reliable to practice it yourself.

On November 11, the England and France teams stood at the Stade de France.

Games with a host are always full of seats. When the "Marseillaise" sounded, more than 7 people in the entire stadium sang.

Beckham suddenly remembered a stalk he had heard: Don’t assert that the French are patriotic just because the French sing the national anthem when the "La Marseillaise" is played, it is actually because the song is good.

The scene of the French singing the national anthem is more like a national KTV.
