Chapter 169 The Premier League Years: An Unexpected Starting List

The sky over the Rötzgrund Stadium in Zurich is clear, without a trace of haze. A slight wind blows and brushes against the cheeks, giving a feeling of comfort.

Will this be a good sign for Italy? ! !
Donadoni took a deep breath, browsed through the notebook in his hand carefully, and looked at the situation of the confrontation match in the field. Di Natale's condition was surprisingly good, but Xiangnan's condition was not very good However, the assist sent to Cassano still made the head coach of the Italian national team shine.

'There is still some coordination between Andre and Antonio. '

Don't know if he remembered something or finally made some decision, Donadoni's eyes changed, and on the notebook in his hand, a name was crossed out and a new one was written.

Then, Mr. Donadoni, the head coach of the Italian national team, strode towards the national team players who had finished the match and were waiting...

*******
Looking at Donadoni's eyes in the south, there seemed to be a sense of relief after making a decision.

Donadoni looked around at his disciples, he understood that as long as he won the game, then, Donadoni! !I am still the captain of this blue battleship, otherwise I really will not have another chance...

Before that, the old captain of the Italian national team, Real Madrid's main defender Cannavaro, the latest injury report has come out, Cannavaro has completely bid farewell to this European Cup, this is undoubtedly for the current Italian national team , was a huge hit too.

"Goalkeeper, Gianluigi." Donadoni took a look, still thinking about the Italian goalkeeper.

However, Buffon was also a little surprised. The Juventus goalkeeper was not surprised because he would start. In fact, no coach dared to put Buffon, the world's number one goalkeeper, on the bench without any injuries! ! !
Erm...unless the trainer—unless his head was kicked stupid by a turkey mule! ! ! !

To Buffon's surprise, Donadoni called him 'Gianluigi' instead of 'Buffon'! !

'Does this mean reconciliation? '

Donadoni glanced at Buffon, said nothing, glanced at the other players, and then read——
"On the defensive line, No. 19 Zambrotta, No. 2 Panucci, No. 4 Chiellini, and No. 3 Grosso."

The changes in the defense are still relatively large. Panucci appeared in the central defender position, replacing Barzagli, and Materazzi, who made a major mistake in the last game, was replaced by Juventus central defender Chielli. Ni replaced, this is Chiellini's first European Cup appearance.

When they heard that they did not have their own names, the expressions of Barzagli and Materazzi were completely different. Barzagli opened his mouth in surprise, glanced at Donadoni, and said nothing. What's the matter, the Palermo central defender unconditionally obeyed the head coach's arrangement.

When Materazzi heard that he didn't have his name, he snorted heavily and turned his head away.

Donadoni glanced at Materazzi, frowned slightly, ignored the Inter Milan central defender, and then read——
"In midfield, No. 10 De Rossi, No. 21 Pirlo, No. 20 Perotta, No. 7 Piero."

In the midfield, Gattuso was replaced by De Rossi. Everyone knew about this change before the game. When Gattuso was interviewed by the media, he also admitted that his current state is not good, and said, As long as it is powerful for the team——
"I don't mind being a substitute. It doesn't have to be the main force. As long as Italy can win, I am willing."

Another change is that the captain of Juventus appeared in the starting lineup, but he was placed in the midfield position. Although Del Piero also played the position of the attacking midfielder, but now, this change The arrangement and the effect are still unpredictable.

The next thing to be announced is the striker. Xiang Nan feels that his breath is a little short. For tomorrow's game, Xiang Nan is still not sure. In today's match, his performance is very average.

Donadoni's voice sounded——
"Forward, No. 18 Cassano is starting, and——" Donadoni paused and glanced at the forwards as if on purpose.

Cassano was immediately excited about being able to start, and the corners of his brows were also beaming with joy.

Toni's expression is very flat. The Bayern Munich striker is still very confident in his main position in the Italian national team. All along, the coaches have been worried about how to find a suitable striker partner for Luca Toni. Now look Come, tomorrow's game, Tony's partner will be Sampdoria striker Cassano.

Xiang Nan's heart skipped a beat. He had the same idea as Tony. Xiang Nan also knew that the Bayern Munich striker was the main player in the Italian national team.

"Also, number 15, Andre!!!" Donadoni glanced at Xiangnan anxiously, and slowly read out the last name.

After Donadoni finished reading the starting list with an almost expressionless face, he looked at his disciples coldly again, nodded inexplicably, and then left.

Xiang Nan suddenly received the gospel of heaven from the lost realm, and the excitement in his heart could no longer be contained. The sudden opening of his mouth showed that this big Chinese boy hadn't digested the surprise...

Ambrosini and Gattuso, who have a good relationship with Xiangnan, and Cassano, who has a good relationship with Xiangnan recently, have come to celebrate. Xiangnan waved his arms excitedly. At this time, Xiangnan inadvertently I saw a trace of suspicion in the corner of Tony's eyes, then a lonely expression, and then, this expression disappeared, and Tony also came over to congratulate Xiang Nan.

Within the Italian national team, Toni is very popular. The late blooming Italian shooter knows what to do and what not to do.

*******
The FLIOEER-ATAT-PATTY Hotel has five restaurants with different styles and tastes, which can meet the different styles of the three teams.

Now in this hotel, in addition to the Italian national team staying here, the Romanian and French teams are also staying here.

After Xiangnan left London, he met Makelele and Malouda for the first time. The three chatted briefly. In comparison, the prospect of the French team is better than that of the Italian team. .

As long as the French team can win the Dutch team in tomorrow's game, they will take the initiative in the emergence of Group C, and Makelele and Malouda have shown great confidence. The next game is a well-thought-out plan.

At this time, while Xiang Nan was talking to Makelele, a girl quietly ran out of the elevator...
