The Football Journey After Soul Shifting

"o dio! Mariano made a performance worth two points! He first made a save on the goal line, and 20 seconds later, he ran a full 105 meters from the goal line to the offside line, and made a deep dive Putting the ball into the goal in a counter-offside, always making the impossible possible, that's Mariano's football..."

"Mariano is such a madman!" Flores sat on the bench with his legs crossed, whispering to De Rossi next to him, "I bet that Mariano's 10-meter speed in that ball just now may It's close to [-] seconds, maybe we can call him Gale Bear?"

De Rossi nodded approvingly. He was stunned just now off the court. Such a huge body seemed to be completely unaffected by atmospheric resistance. His movements of swinging his legs in rotation could hardly be seen off the court. Until he lowered his center of gravity again and again and galloped past the opponent's defenders-it is said that Caniggia's 10-meter speed is 23 seconds, while Ronaldo, Mariano's template, was between Between 10 seconds 4 and 10 seconds 5, I don't know if the sprint just now surpassed them?

"10 seconds 07!! Mariano's speed even exceeds that of Ball Lightning Elton, ranking first among the famous active players!" After calculation, the Spanish national TV station made the most accurate judgment, and Carmela played Haha, diverting the topic, but Bosque did not evade the question, and said with a serious face: "Although he doesn't want to admit it, Mariano Arini is not only the best striker in Italy, but also very good. Maybe he will be the best in the world, 'he has football instincts, unbelievable physical fitness, balanced left and right feet, and absolutely top-notch shooting skills. I can't imagine where his limit is. Our new golden boy Torres may become a world-class striker, but he is far inferior to him in terms of technology, body and ability to grab points. More importantly, Mariano is still 1 year younger than Torres..."

There was a cheerful din from the Italian fans in the stands, waving Italian flags and singing loud team anthems.For a long time, such goals have always been the patent of Ronaldo, but now, Italy also has such a genius!

"The Wise Man" Aragones frowned slightly, and this conceded goal undoubtedly made him very dissatisfied.Although in the Spanish team, he advocates the use of tiki-taka tactics.Playing a 433 formation, but in his bones, he still pays more attention to defense.

"Carlos, pay attention to your people! Don't give that kid another chance!" Aragones shouted towards the court.

The two Carlos from Spain, Carlos Puyol and Carlos Marchena, answered yes at the same time, then looked at each other, and at the same time cast their eyes on Liu Wen who was celebrating.

"I will be responsible for defending him, you pay attention to supporting protection." Puyol said.

In fact, for the goal just now.Puyol felt very aggrieved.In the few fights just now, although he was broken through a few times, he still had a slight advantage overall, but in the blink of an eye.The opponent scored a goal.Perhaps, this is the tragedy of a defender-even if the whole game has been performing well, but a certain moment of carelessness may make you fall into hell.

……

After the game restarts.Puyol was surprised to find that his opponent became more difficult to deal with.I want to compete physically with him, but I can't fight him.In several times of physical contact, he was faintly at a disadvantage.That's all, but the opponent still has beautiful and outrageous footwork.Take just now as an example, he, Marchena, and Senna joined forces and failed to guard against that kid.The ball seemed to stick to his feet, and he broke through the gap between the three with a beautiful fried ball. Fortunately, the quality of the shot was not high, and Casillas saved it.

A sigh of regret suddenly rolled across the stands, and Liu Wen rubbed his feet on the slippery lawn, also full of regret.

Fifteen minutes to the end of the first half, during this time, the situation on the field between the two sides was still balanced, Spain's tiki-taka tactics firmly controlled the midfield, while Italy used defensive counterattacks, and then passed a direct attack. After cutting and cooperating, he quickly inserted to threaten Spain's goal.

This is the Italian team's corner kick. In the penalty area of ​​Spain, a dozen blue and red figures filled the penalty area. Carlos Puyol and Carlos Marchena, one behind the other, tightly Sticking to Liu Wen, even grabbed his clothes with his hands, before the corner kick was taken, the penalty area was already getting stronger...

Pirlo took a corner kick, spun slightly, and landed at the front of the penalty area. According to the corner kick arrangement during training, Liu Wen quickly started and swooped towards the front.

"A lot of strength..."

Puyol's tugging failed to hold him at all, so he could only watch Liu Wen jump up high and fight for this landing point.Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas has always been a goalkeeper who controls a large area. He also jumped high in the crowd, reaching out to hit the football on top of a crowd of heads.

Liu Wen grabbed this point first, but under the interference of Marchena, he could only choose to hit the ball with the back of his head...

"Bang!" This difficult header hit the crossbar, and then was kicked out of the touchline by Puyol, who was still in shock.

"What a monster!" Puyol glanced at the big man beside him with lingering fear. Now Puyol finally understood why Messi worshiped him so much. This is a football monster in human skin!

The rethrown throw-in was controlled by Totti. He and Quagliarella played a one-two and passed the ball into the penalty area. Vieri failed to grab this point, and the ball was cleared by Senna out of the penalty area. .

Italy's siege against Spain lasted for a long time, but it never scored a goal. Only 3 minutes later, the score was rewritten again, but it was the Spaniard who scored.

Vicente made a cross from the left, and Raul was pulled to the ground by Nesta when he grabbed a point in the middle of the penalty area. Amid the boos of the Italian fans, the referee firmly pointed his finger at the penalty spot!

Raul was in charge of taking the penalty. The captain of Real Madrid calmly tricked the goalkeeper Buffon and sent the ball into the middle! 2:1, Spain once again overtook the score.

The first half of the game ended with a score of 1:2.When he was about to leave the game, Liu Wen was stopped by the famous actress Paola Ferrari, the host of the "Sports Sunday" program of the national TV station.

Facing this beautiful actress with a graceful figure, Liu Wen remembered Shanna's previous warning: "Don't get too close to those beauties!" So he quickly restrained his expression.

"Can you do an interview, Mariano?"

"Row."

"Mariano, what do you think of that goal you scored?"

"Not bad."

"How are you going to deal with Spain's defense next?"

"I do not know."

"But you'll find a way to break their defense?"

"should."

"How do you think the Italian team should adjust to win the game?"

"Score more goals than your opponent."

Perhaps because she has never seen an interview subject who is so careful with words, Paula Ferrari restrained the urge to scold her, rolled her eyes, and ended the interview.Liu Wen wiped the sweat off his forehead and hurried back to the locker room. Trapattoni had been waiting for a long time.

Trapattoni seemed dissatisfied with the score in the first half.

"First of all, I want to criticize our defense. As a professional player, it is very important to learn to obey the coach, but in the first half, some of our players did not follow the instructions of the coach. Fabio (Groso), your left side Is it an unimpeded two-way street? To be crossed by Joaquin on your side again and again? Pay attention to protect the right side more, and cheer me up from now on."

"Also, we were behind in the first half in terms of attacking, but, Fabio (Quagliarella), maybe I change the name of the play so you can remember how to move. ? For example, No. 1 Capuno Avenue in Udinese? In the second half, Antonio came on and replaced Fabio. Antonio, if I put you back on the field again, can you play like a normal person? "

Flores rubbed her hands a little nervously: "Yes, sir, I will try my best!"

Trapattoni nodded and continued: "Antonio, Mariano, your task is to break through and cause damage as much as possible on the left. Their right back Puyol has already received a yellow card on Mariano. Find a breakthrough on his side. In the second half, Mariano and Cristiano played cross positions, Francisco, you go forward when you have the opportunity."

After seeing the players continue to nod wildly, Trapattoni waved his right hand and made a cheering gesture: "Now, let's go up and kick the Spaniard's ass hard!"

※※※

After the start of the second half, Spain also made adjustments. After leading by a goal, Aragones replaced the striker Urcez with right back El Guerra, Puyol moved to the central defender position, and Marchena The premise is that he and Senna formed a double midfielder, which strengthened the control of the midfield.

"This old fox." Trapattoni muttered angrily, touched his nose, and carefully observed the situation on the field.

Regarding the adjustment of Spain's formation, Italy seemed to be somewhat under-responsive. After controlling the midfield situation, the Spanish team gradually took the initiative on the field.

In the 47th minute, Torres received a pass from Harvey outside the penalty area and shot slightly high.

In the 50th minute, Joaquin lobbed with his right foot 30 meters away from the goal, and the ball was slightly higher than the lintel.

In the 60th minute, Raul's left-footed cold shot 20 meters away from the goal on the left side of the front field was just a hair's breadth away and hit the side net.

In the 64th minute, Vicente knocked back from the left, and Torres hit the post with an angry shot 18 meters away from the door.

Trapattoni looked at the field with an unswerving expression. To some extent, this game was also a secret battle between two world-class coaches.Now, in the contest with Aragones, he has fallen behind 0:1.

"Now, Italy urgently needs a goal to stabilize the situation. I don't know how Italy needs to adjust to win the game, but no matter what, we have to score more goals than our opponents..." (To be continued...)
