Chinese champion

Chapter 392 Contest at the Top of the World

"Oh, your Pei Wei is really good. Look at this shot, it's as accurate as if you measured it with a ruler! You really deserve to be the one who always uses the ball to shoot in the courtyard. That Abbiati knows a thing or two. None." Italy, in Pei Wei's apartment, An Lei said to Marco with a smile.

"Where is it?" Ma Ke'er also smiled and said: "Your Zhuang Feng is really good. This kick is of a high level. He can play the ball and score goals. He is all-rounder!"

"You two gimmicks!" Ma Guohua next to him couldn't listen any more, and said with a beard and stare, "You don't have to be ashamed to brag about yourself! Let others hear it, so you can't laugh your ass off?"

Ma Ke'er stuck out her tongue at An Lei, and the two girls laughed together, their branches trembling with laughter, and Ma Guohua was stunned.

"These two brats are not so lucky..." Ma Guohua muttered in his heart, and immediately diverted the conversation: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, An Lei, I finally found the bone marrow that matches you yesterday." , I can perform surgery on you at any time, as long as it goes well, you will fully recover in half a year!"

"Yes, Sister An, your luck is really good. Many patients may not be able to wait for more than ten years for bone marrow transplantation. It is better to do this operation in advance. It is better to do it early!" Ma Ke'er was also there. while talking.

An Lei smiled with a pale face, and said softly: "No, if you do it now, he will definitely put down the game and go back to Italy to see me. It's better not to distract him, let him go to the game well, and wait until the Olympics are over." It’s not too late to do it, it’s been so many years, it doesn’t matter if it’s early or late.”

"That's what I said." Ma Guohua said, "But if you do it early, it counts as a day, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

An Lei shook her head gently but firmly: "No need, let's talk about it after Zhuang Feng and the others come back."

Seeing An Lei's expression, Marco's father and daughter were silent. After getting along for more than a year, they already knew that although An Lei was usually gentle and pleasant, if she insisted on one thing, it would be true. No one could persuade her.

"Okay, let's continue watching the game." Ma Guohua changed the topic: "At this time, the momentum of Italy is a little different."

************************************************
There is indeed something different, not only Ma Guohua can see it, but even the audience who know a little about penalty kicks in front of the TV can see it.

Suffocatingly tight defense, stealing every inch of ground, reasonable body collisions, quick and concise counterattacks... In these 10 minutes, the Italian Olympic team fully demonstrated the essence of Italian football. It is still not as good as the Chinese team led by Pei Wei, but this is the true style of Italian football. Although the Chinese team has the advantage of possession, they cannot form a too threatening attack.

The situation on the field has improved greatly, but the two Italian coaches, Zola and Casiraghi, have not relaxed much because of this, and now they are regretting their stupidity even more.

In the past 10 minutes, the referee did not show any obvious favorable penalty for the Chinese team, which can be described as "fair and strict", even if there is a slight bias, it is within the normal range.

"Damn it...that conceded goal is really wronged..." Zola said with a wry smile, and Casiraghi also had obvious helplessness on his face.

For a team like Italy, sometimes losing one player on the field is not what they are afraid of. What they fear most is falling behind, because in the case of falling behind, their best defensive counterattack will be useless. If they can't recover the score as soon as possible, they lack the ability to attack, and they are likely to die of depression.

It is not easy to defeat Italy, just looking at Italy's performance in the World Series in the past ten years can be seen.Take the World Cup as an example. In 90, Argentina was forced to score 1:1 in the semi-finals and lost on penalties. Reached the final in 94, tied with Brazil 0:0, and lost in the final penalty shootout. In the quarter-finals of 98, it was another 0:0 against France, also losing in a penalty shootout. The 2002;1 elimination by the South Korean team in 2 was a special case. People all over the world knew what was going on, but Italy still persisted until overtime, and at the same time, a goal and a penalty were disallowed by the referee. In 2006, he finally won the championship with a record of six wins and one draw.It is worth noting that in these five World Cups, after entering the knockout stage, the Italian team has never lost a game in 90 minutes of normal game time!Three of the four eliminations were due to penalty kicks, and one was in overtime. What does this mean?How difficult it is to beat Italy in 90 minutes!
He Jin clasped his hands in front of his chest, with a smile on his face, watching the game on the field, leading by one goal gave him enough confidence to carry on the rest of the game steadily, and he knew the data mentioned above clearly , but he paid attention to another aspect.

Although Italy is hard to beat, they rarely come back when they fall behind. The only exception was the 2006 World Cup, and that year was indeed an exception. The penalty kick win in the final is the only one in their World Cup history. It was the first time.

In the case of a solid defense, use the counterattack to score first, then continue to defend, and continue to expand the score by taking advantage of the opponent's pressure to continue to expand the score. This is the "victory formula" used by Italian football. What they are good at is not what they are used to.

Now that he has taken the lead by one goal, what is he afraid of?
Although the defense of the Chinese Olympic team is not very strong, it is definitely not weak. Feng Xiao is definitely a rising star among Chinese defenders. Although Zini has long been a member of the first team in Fiorentina, with Tony, Mutu, Zhong Yan and other strikers in their prime, he doesn't have many chances to play. A center of his caliber would do well.

And he is not very afraid of the defense of the two wings, the only thing that is a little worried is Liu Yu.

Liu Yu's strength is not very strong, but he is a well-deserved second player besides Feng Xiao in the position of central defender, but he is still a bit short in the face of a striker with excellent skills and speed like Rossi.

There is no doubt about Rossi's strength, otherwise the old Ferguson would not have valued him. What He Jin hopes is that Rossi's state in this game will not be too good, otherwise it will be a bit bad.

**************************************
However, Rossi did not make He Jin's hope a reality. When competing with Dong Yuzhuo, his desire to perform was obviously very strong.

As the second-tier forwards that Ferguson valued, Rossi and Dong Yuzhuo have a lot in common. They are both foreign players who are good at speed and technology. Rossi became famous earlier than Dong Yuzhuo, when Dong Yuzhuo was still working hard in Antwerp. At that time, he had already entered the Manchester United first team and played in some unimportant league and cup matches, but when Dong Yuzhuo won the top scorer in Antwerp, the situation changed.

Manchester United recalled Dong Yuzhuo, and Dong Yuzhuo's relatively humble character was very popular with Ferguson. Rossi had some complaints because he could not play for a long time. Sir Alex Ferguson, who has never had a grain of sand in his eyes, naturally attached great importance to this point. So when he could only choose one of Rossi and Dong Yuzhuo to enter the first team, Ferguson loaned Rossi back to Italy without hesitation, and kept Dong Yuzhuo in the team, and Dong Yuzhuo's performance was enough. De firmly occupied the position of a main striker, but he stood out in the competition with the French striker Saha and became the first substitute on the striker line, just like the baby-faced killer Solskjaer back then. He was able to perform well on the field, so although Rossi performed well in Parma, Ferguson did not recall him to the team in the end, but let Parma sell him out completely.

With this factor included, it is not difficult to see why Rossi's desire is so strong today.

"Old guy! I want to show you that your choice back then was a big mistake! Let you see how I beat that guy!"

Rossi thought fiercely in her heart.

"Montolivo scored the ball in the midfield! Rossi took the ball and forced a breakthrough! Dash in! Shoot! It's so dangerous, Wang Lei made a very beautiful save and saved the ball from the bottom line!" Wang Jianxiang said with lingering fear.

"Gazbaroni took a corner kick, Pacini jumped up, but Feng Xiao controlled the landing very well, and the Fiorentina striker had no chance! The ball rolled down, and it was Rossi again, he was agile in the crowd I stabbed and shot, but fortunately Deng Yunfeng in front of the goal blocked the ball!"

"The counterattack of the Chinese team, Pei Wei made a through pass in midfield, and Dong Yuzhuo went forward! He was competing with Balzali! Dong Yuzhuo was still a little faster, he got the ball first, but Barzali had blocked his breakthrough angle , Beautiful! Beautiful! He wiped it away! Oh, Abbiati's attack was really timely, the moment Dong Yuzhuo broke through, he abandoned the goal and threw the ball firmly in his arms!"

Seeing Rossi's performance so well, Dong Yuzhuo is naturally not to be outdone. He also wants to compete with this former teammate to prove that Ferguson's vision is not wrong, and that he is the person Manchester United needs most!
"Oh, how can I, the protagonist, be so depressed? It's okay to always be robbed of the limelight by Hu Yongzhujun, but now even the two little guys are competing with me for attention. How can I mess around!" Pei Wei was depressed said.

"You have already achieved fame, why are you still so stingy?" Zhuang Feng criticized him: "What's wrong with letting young people show off?"

Palatino received a pass from Zacardo. This young player from Juventus was originally a striker, but because Juventus has too many good strikers, he has no chance to play, so at home Under the suggestion of coach Deschamps, he changed to a full-back. The general winger has an extra keen sense of smell in front of the goal.

Facing Tang Song's defense, he first took a few steps forward slowly, and then suddenly dunked the ball to the outside, as if he was about to break through from the bottom line.

Tang Song was really fooled, and immediately turned his center of gravity to defend near the sideline. At this time, Palatino dunked the ball horizontally again and got rid of Tang Song's defense.

After taking a few steps horizontally along the penalty area line, Palatino suddenly raised his foot, ready to shoot!
Liu Yu tensed up and rushed forward, ready to block the ball with his body, but Palatino was still a feint, instead of shooting, he pushed the ball sideways.

Rossi rushed up diagonally, raised his foot and hit!
Lv Yinzhe rushed up from behind and stretched out his foot to block the ball!
"Shit!" Rossi waved his hand remorsefully, the feeling of shooting just now was really good, what a pity.

The rolled ball was caught by Zhou Hai, who turned around and wiped off Montorivo, who was counterattacking, and then made an accurate through ball, pushing the ball to the feet of Pei Wei, who was starting in front of him.

Troiano wanted to break the ball early, but Pei Wei caught the ball much faster than he expected. He lost his balance without hitting the ball, and was turned around lightly by Pei Wei. passed.

"This is the gap between the superstars of Serie A and the young players of Serie B." Xiao Jun said with emotion: "Although the gap in strength is not as big as we saw, there is no difference between Troiano and Pei Wei." The gap in experience is huge! If he hadn’t been in a hurry to steal the ball just now, even if Pei Wei could pass him, he wouldn’t be so easy.”

What Wang Jianxiang saw was another point: "There is no defense in front of Pei Wei now! The Olympic team has three arrows in the frontcourt, and it has become a good opportunity for four-on-four!"

Zacardo was staring at Zhu Jun, Barzali was staring at Zhuang Feng, De La Fiore pulled over from the side to stare at Dong Yuzhuo, and Andreoli met Pei Wei without hesitation.

The Italian boy’s handsome face is full of determination. Pei Wei is his idol, the object he admires and learns from. Andreoli has many similarities with Pei Wei except for his position. They are both Inter Milan. The core and captain of the second-tier team, and the two of them are also the most proud output of the Inter Milan youth team in the past ten years. The contest with idols is often the most exciting for young players.
