The Football Journey After Soul Shifting

"Pay attention to guarding the opponent's two flanks! Be sure to pay attention to defense! Defense! Defense!"

At Trapattoni's behest, Italy's assistant coach Narziso Pezzotti roared from the sidelines.

In this match, Spain's two wingers, Joaquin and Vicente, were in excellent condition. They were like galloping horses galloping across the open prairie. ball.

……

Facing Fabio Grosso, Joaquin succeeded with a beautiful dribble breakthrough.This is the third time he has broken through Grosso's defense.

"I pass you as easily as I cross the road in the morning." Joaquin said.

Regarding Joaquin's provocation, Grosso could only remain silent. In this game, he was indeed completely blown away by Joaquin.

After breaking through Grosso, Joaquin went down smoothly and made a comfortable pass from the right.In the middle of the penalty area, Torres nimbly grabbed the point, and once again pierced the Italian goal with a stab shot.

Italy fell behind 1:3 at home!

The Italian fans let out a tidy sigh, is this still the familiar European Cup champion team?

"It seems that Italy is following the style of "Game of Thrones" in this game. The Mediterranean Evil Legion fell miserably at home, and the Iberian Vultures spread their wings in the away game, easily leading Italy by 2 goals!" Carmela danced with arms and legs roaring loudly.

Liu Wen glanced at Grosso, the left back didn't seem to be in high spirits.

"Let me find you back, Fabio." Liu Wen said silently in his heart.

After the game resumed, Italy gradually began to invest its forces in the offense, and Spain did not retreat. The two teams played a tug-of-war on the lawn of the Frankie Stadium.Facing the old enemy, neither side intends to keep their hands - this friendly match has nothing to do with friendship, only victory or defeat.

After several rounds of attacking in turn, the ball was handed over to Joaquin again.Joaquin faced Grosso's defense again.

"I'm looking for you again, Naples little Barbie."

After a while, Joaquin felt a light under his foot, and the ball was pulled away from behind.Followed by a cold words.

"You don't have the right to gossip about my teammates, timid chick."

Joaquin turned his head, only to see a blue figure wearing the No. 18 jersey running away.

"I owe you, Mariano!" Grosso cried.

……

In the live room of Spanish TV, Bosque seemed to have a tendency to transform into Ali Nimi, and made another comment.

"Mariano has never been a defensive striker, but when he needs to defend. He defends as well as any defensive striker. Let's look at that ball just now, 'Mariano Jungle' covered the other side again. One hemisphere. Mariano breaks Joaquin's ball from behind. Mariano is better suited to defend quick players than the slower Fabio Grosso because he is also fast, mobile, He is strong and has defensive skills above the standard. It can be said that if Mariano is not a forward but a full-back, he can also occupy the main position in the giants..."

Liu Wen ran quickly along the left road.Brazilian midfielder Senna is the first line of defense in front of him. Facing Senna's defense, Liu Wen kicked the ball behind him, and then used his speed to go around from the other side.The easy man scored the ball successfully.

Puyol felt his heart beating fast. Since the first half, this is the ninth time he and Mariano Arini have played against each other. He has only won the first three times - since that goal.He failed to guard against this freak once.

Sometimes, if a player has high-speed feet, his mind will be slower than his feet.But Liu Wen is not like that at all. He perfectly combined speed and consciousness. A light change of direction at high speed shook Puyol away.

Puyol felt a stagger under his feet, supported the lawn with his hands, barely maintained his balance, and wanted to pick up speed to chase again, but saw that the object he was defending had crossed into the penalty area.

Puyol quickly chased back, but he saw that Arini did not slow down, but just a few times of lightly shaking the ball made Marchena lose his sense of direction.On the other side of the goal, Salgado, Raul Bravo and Xavi Alonso surrounded him.

Puyol saw that Arini was rushing from left to right in the crowd, and the three of them failed to touch the ball with their six feet. The action of kicking and shooting.

"Be careful, Iker!" Puyol yelled.

Under the reminder of Puyol, Salgado and Xavi Alonso subconsciously stretched out their feet to block the shot, but Liu Wen just dunked the ball and shot again, Raul Bra Wo Heng shoveled over.But this time the shot was still a false move, Liu Wen dunked the ball again, and passed through the gap between the three of them with a deep-fried ball movement, and then was pushed to the ground by Puyol from behind.

A penalty without a doubt!

The England referee blew his whistle and pointed to the penalty spot. Then, he took out a yellow card from his pocket and showed Puyol his second yellow card of the game. Puyol was sent off with a red card!

"This is really a complete defeat."

Puyol took a long breath and walked off the field amidst the cheers of the Italian fans. Perhaps someone could see sadness or sadness in his back.

In Italy, Liu Wen had a record of missing penalty kicks several times. Totti was the first penalty shooter. He stood on the penalty spot, facing the goalkeeper Casillas, and calmly scored the ball into the lower left corner of the goal. , Casillas judged the wrong direction.

2:3, Italy pulled back a goal.

"Nice job, golden baby (Totti's nickname)! However, 90% of the credit goes to Mariano's feet, his footwork is unpredictable, maybe the defender should go to the gypsy tent Counting the hexagrams, they must still be dizzy now, is it the left foot or the right foot, whether it is a shot or a breakthrough?"

The words of the on-site commentator undoubtedly resonated with the fans on the scene. Although the score was still behind, they still mustered up their spirits, started a crowd, and cheered for their beloved team.

"forza italia!" "forza arini!"

With one more player, the Italian team's offensive was even stronger, almost even the back line was pressed near the midfield. After the unremitting onslaught, finally in the 78th minute of the game, Christian Vieri scored An equalizer.

The ball was assisted by Liu Wen. At that time, Flores, who was cruising on the left side of the penalty area, stuck to the baseline and bypassed Salgado's defense, and passed the ball into the penalty area. Instead of forcing a shot, he kicked the ball back with his heel and Vieri reached out and poked it in before Raúl Bravo.

In the end, Italy drew Spain 3:3 at home, and the two sides shook hands after 90 minutes of fierce fighting.

In an interview with the media, Trapattoni said indignantly: "Mariano's performance is phenomenal, but in these two games, our defensive performance was too poor. Just now, my wife called to tell Me, she set the mobile phone password to 'Italian Defense Line', but the system prompts sorry that your password is too weak. For a long time to come, I will focus on improving the team's defense."

For this game, the vast majority of European media wrote news on the topic of "Mariano saved Italy once". They believed that Italy's poor game was due to Mariano Arini's outstanding performance. Only then did Italy escape.

When Puyol accepted the Spanish media, he said: "Today, Mariano's performance is simply possessed by the devil. No matter how I defend him, it is futile. I think that when he runs at full speed with the ball, no one can stop him. "

……

After the national team game, Liu Wen didn't get any rest time at all, and immediately threw himself into the new round of Serie A. In the game against Lecce, he scored twice in the first half and led the team to a 3-0 victory. :[-] defeated Pepper and won three consecutive victories.
