Chapter 290 Red and Black Years World Cup, win! !Transfer market! !

Didier Zokora's corner kick was not of high quality, Drogba barely got it under the pressure from the south, the ball rolled out of the baseline, goal kick.

At this time, the referee Boll also blew the whistle for the end of the first half...

With Xiang Nan's goal in the first half, Italy 1:0 Côte d'Ivoire...

In the waiting room, Xiang Nan had a twitching smile on his lips. On a stage like the World Cup, the feeling of scoring a goal is simply too cool! !
Giuseppe Rossi was nagging in Xiangnan's ear, reminding Xiangnan not to forget, in the second half of the game, give yourself a few more good kicks...

Of course, there are also substitute players like Thornton and Abate, who are staring at Lippi, hoping that the old coach will not forget their existence...

Speaking of which, Thornton was the earliest acquaintance Xiang Nan met after entering the professional league. When Xiang Nan was in Turin for trial training, his first official match was against the Inter Milan youth team. In the game, Thornton appeared at the right back position and directly confronted Xiang Nan. In the end, Xiang Nan shined in that game and finally won the first and most important contract in his career. However, Thornton was also injured during the game, and the Inter Milan teenager was sent off with a red card...

After Xiangnan entered the Italian national team, he met Thornton. When they talked about the past, they both laughed... It's a bit too much to say that they meet and smile, but... men should be like this! !
"In the second half, continue to attack, but, midfielders, don't press too high... Be careful of the Ivorian's counterattack!!"

Lippi criticized Italy's two flanks for giving too many chances to the Ivorian in the first half, especially Grosso's left flank...

"Thonton, after the start of the second half, start warming up and be ready to play at any time!!"

Lippi's choice to bring Thornton to South Africa is undoubtedly deliberate. The Inter Milan teenager has always been at the right back position in the Inter Milan youth team and performed very well. However, in the Inter Milan first team, the right back is Known as the No.1 right-back Maicon in today's world football, the teenager also appeared in the left-back position. However, Thornton's performance was still very good, and he directly squeezed Maxwell to the bench. Finally transferred and left Meazza...

*********
After the start of the second half, on the contrary, the Ivory Coast team first launched an attack on the Italian defense line. Drogba and Keita's strong assault made Italy a little tight. However, Italy's chain defense also made the Ivorian coach On the sidelines, roaring non-stop...

The head coach of Côte d'Ivoire knows that once Italy is relieved, it will be even more difficult to think about scoring goals...

After Amos Faye and Yaya Toure made a wall-hitting cooperation, they dribbled the ball forward, pulled the ball, smashed the ball, and passed Grosso who was rushing up. However, Amos Faye Ye was obviously too impatient. After getting into the middle of the penalty area, he directly chose a long shot, and the ball went high...

Lippi couldn't do it anymore, and asked the assistant coach to call Thornton, who had been warming up, to his side...

In the 63rd minute of the game, Italy made a substitution, and Thornton came on, replacing Grosso! !
After the Inter Milan teenager came on the field, he quickly entered the rhythm of the game. He didn't feel uncomfortable and nervous at all when he played in the World Cup for the first time. In Mourinho's words, "He is simply a player born for the big competition... '

In the 69th minute of the game, Thornton intercepted Didier Zokora's pass, and then made a wide-range shift with a wide field of vision. After De Rossi stopped the ball with his chest, he knocked the ball to the one who came back to ask for the ball. Xiangnan, Xiangnan's dribbling movement is very graceful, or elegant, with his head held high, watching Yaya Toure come up to grab him, a Barcelona star who has faked beautiful moves, without any temper...

Eboue, facing south in the middle of the penalty area, made a shot, but with a flick of his right ankle, the ball stuck to the turf and went to the other side. Giuseppe Rossi, who followed up, made a shot Foot shot, almost sticking to the right post and out of the baseline...

"Beautiful pass!! Andre is a dancer on the court...Giuseppe is too impatient...This is the second time he has wasted Andre's wonderful pass in this game... The lad is too impatient, maybe he is looking forward to his World Cup debut..."

Giuseppe Rossi, who wasted Xiang Nan's exquisite pass, gave Nan a thumbs up in embarrassment, indicating that the pass was beautiful... Xiang Nan also came over and patted his partner on the shoulder, signaling him Don't be too impatient...

*********
In the 76th minute of the game, Bubba Casanogo dribbled the ball and got entangled with De Rossi who was up for grabs. Bubba Casanogo suddenly screamed, covered his face exaggeratedly and fell on the court...

After discussing with the line referee, the referee decided that the Roman midfielder had a very concealed elbow, gave De Rossi a yellow card, and awarded the Ivorian a free kick about 29 meters away from the goal...

However, the slow motion shows that Boll's penalty is a bit far-fetched. Both of them have movements in their hands. It is hard to say who is worse or suffers...

The free kick at this position is within the range of Drogba. Ivory Coast has a powerful long shot. He has also scored a free kick at this position in the Premier League. However, when Xiangnan was at Chelsea, this Free kicks are usually directed towards the south. Didier Drogba hasn't kicked them for a long time. I don't know if his footwork has been neglected...

Drogba is standing on the penalty spot, next to him is Didier Zokora, the two are whispering something...

"Be careful!! Watch out for the second point of defense..." Lippi shouted from the sidelines. In fact, the concern of the head coach of the Italian national team was not unreasonable. The toe of Drogba's free kick It's big, be careful, the Ivorian player's second shot! !
Xiang Nan was not far away, looking at it, it felt weird, it reminded him that when he was at Chelsea, he was about to take a free kick, and Drogba was playing a screen beside him...

'Cover' Thinking of this, Xiang Nan froze for a moment, 'They are a tactical cooperation! ! '

Just as Xiang Nan was about to remind Buffon loudly, the referee Boll's whistle sounded——
Didier Zokola made a run-up, Drogba's free kick was really strong, the ball almost stopped spinning after it was shot, and went straight through the wall towards the left center of the goal Flying in a straight line, Buffon didn't dare to be careless, and directly threw the ball sideways, blocking the ball out of the baseline...

Ivorian, awarded a corner! !

Didier Zokola took a corner kick, Keita headed the ball in front of him, and then flew to the back point. Bubaka Sanogo who followed up made another header, and it went wide...

********
The game went on to 81 minutes, and the score on the court was still 1:0! !
At this time, Italy made another substitution, and Gattuso came off the bench. He replaced his club teammate Pirlo...

"Marcelo is going to strengthen his defense... Indeed, in the midfield, Italy's 'waist is not hard enough'..." Rossi analyzed...

At this time, on the Ivorian bench not far away, the Ivorian coach was also pointing at the players on the field, explaining something...

83 minutes into the game, Côte d'Ivoire made a substitution, and midfielder Siaka Diene from Ligue [-] Saint-Etienne came on, replacing Marco Zorro...

Replace a defender and replace with an offensive midfielder... The Ivorian is going to die! !

It's just that the Ivorians obviously didn't understand a truth. Whether a goal is scored or not is not judged by the number of offensive players on the field! ! !
……

Gattuso seemed to want to prove that the time on the bench and in the physical therapist did not wear down the pride of the "butcher" back then. He broke Siaka Diene's ball with a beautiful ground tackle, Then quickly launched a counterattack. After the ball passed through two feet, a ground ball was passed towards the south...

Xiang Nan didn't adjust the ball, but directly kicked the ball forward, and he quickly ran over from the other side. This is actually a human ball. However, facing the second half at this time, the physical strength of both sides has declined Yaya Toure, who came up to try to steal the ball, was completely swayed away from the south... The speed of the south is his weapon at this time! ! !

Yaya Toure didn't react at all, and was passed by like this. The Barcelona star turned around and saw only a sky blue jersey, swaying slightly in the night wind in Cape Town...

'He's really a guy who walks on the wind! ! ! '

Uh... If Yaya Toure is familiar with Chinese mythology, he will definitely think of a great god who steps on hot wheels...

After a long distance of nearly 30 meters, Xiangnan made a deft high-speed dribble change direction, passed Eboue who was on the scramble, and suddenly stopped the ball on the spot, and Eboue fell to the green spot in embarrassment. On the turf of the pitch, the Arsenal right-back could only watch Xiangnan like a ballet dancer, pick the ball to avoid the next Abdoulaye-Mette's flying tackle, and then forcefully stabilized With a flick of his ankle, he passed the ball to the penalty area...

When Xiang Nan got the ball, the camera lens on the scene never left Mr. World Footballer. The lens was so clear that he could even see Xiang Nan's chest rising and falling because of his sharp breathing... At this time, the fans in the stands still FIFA officials, dignitaries, and even the referee were shocked by this series of ballet-like performances... petrified...

until……

"goooooooaaaaal!!!!!! Giuseppe Rossi!!!!" Rossi's crazy roar came, "Beautiful goal!! Great pass from the great Andrea!!! !This will be a classic goal in this World Cup!!! Andrade's skills are simply too good, he is like waltzing..."

In fact, it is no wonder that Rossi described this pass as two greats. Xiangnan almost singled out the entire Ivorian defense line. All he had to do was to comfortably put the ball into the net in front of the Ivorian goalkeeper Boubaka Barry, who was already attracted and shocked by Xiangnan's series of actions...

Boom! ! !

The whole stadium is boiling! !

This is the most exciting moment in the World Cup! ! !

Wonderful football art, you are so charming! !

I'm obsessed with it! ! !
Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! ! !

Let the applause be louder! !
Because, this attack is worthy of it! ! ! !

In the wild cheers of the Italian fans in the audience, Giuseppe Rossi was completely crazy. He rushed to Xiang Nan who was opening his arms and laughing at him, and immediately put Xiang Nan on his back. ...

Hahaha! ! !
The other teammates also rushed up, surrounded the two of them, yelling and laughing! ! ! !
So happy! ! ! !
"It's great!!!! Having a partner like Andrea is undoubtedly the most enjoyable thing!!! Even I'm a little jealous of Giuseppe Rossi!!!!" Italian Golden Boy of the 1982 World Cup Haha laughed and said...

……

On the court, Drogba, who had done his best, looked at the Italian who was celebrating crazily, and fixed his eyes on Xiangnan. Drogba even felt a little jealous of that kid named Rossi——
'Boy, having a partner like Andre...is your blessing! ! ! ! ! '

*********
Lippi applauded from the sidelines, even the highly determined 'Silver Fox' was impeccable for this goal...

At this time, fans all over the world were moved by Xiang Nan's artistic breakthrough assist... Of course, there are also fans who think that if Xiang Nan can continue to dribble the ball and pass the Ivorian goalkeeper Bubaka- Barry, it's even more handsome to gently push the ball into the empty goal! !
That's a classic copy of Maradona back then! ! ! !
Uh... Poor Bubaka Barry, just be lucky...

Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! ! ! !
There was deafening applause at the Green Point Stadium! ! ! !
The fans are all on their feet! ! ! ! !

Crazy applause! ! !
In the 86th minute of the game, Xiangnan was replaced by Abate...

The game has come to this point, and Italy's World Cup has a good start, and Lippi has also given his proud disciples the honor of receiving heroic cheers alone... Another point, the wily 'silver' Fox' also had to worry that the Ivorians, who had already lost their momentum, adopted retaliatory and lethal tactics against Xiangnan in the last few minutes... In that case, the World Cup in Italy would be over! ! !
Although, this possibility is very small...

However, Lippi also has to think about it... because——
Going south is really important to the Italian team. To put it bluntly, if you sneezed south, it would trigger a big tsunami on the Mediterranean side...

This is the real superstar! ! !

*********
In the end, relying on Xiang Nan's one pass and one shot, Italy beat Côte d'Ivoire 2-0 on the first match day of Group G... After the final whistle sounded, Xiang Nan also found his friend Didier Drogba, and Xiang Nan Nan patted Drogba on the shoulder and didn't say anything, because Xiang Nan also knew that it was useless to say anything, and he would be very sad if Xiang Nan lost the game... …

Xiang Nan did not exchange jerseys with Drogba. He smiled and rejected the Ivorian player who asked to exchange jerseys. It was not that Xiang Nan was playing a big game. Xiang Nan had already decided that he must keep this jersey well... After all, this is his first World Cup... not to mention a goal... and a win...

……

Whoa whoa whoa! ! !
Hahaha! ! !
In the waiting room, the best player of the game, Xiang Nan opened his own champagne... The champagne was sprayed on his teammates, and even Lippi did not escape Xiang Nan's prank...

……

Amidst the cheers and applause of the Italian fans all the way, the Italian team's bus returned to the Hilton Hotel in Cape Town... The players will rest at the hotel for one night, and then go to Port Elizabeth, where the next game will be held the next day... …

……

On June 6, just as Italy arrived in Port Elizabeth, at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein, the Argentine team, which had started its appearance in the 14 World Cup, also started the match against South Korea...

Before the game, the South Korean media and reporters dug up the old account of the Argentine national team coach Maradona's poor record in the South American World Cup to cheer for the South Korean team. The fact that Ma almost died from taking drugs in the past, is here to advocate...

Before the start of this game, Maradona faced the media and issued an order to his players that they must win, and not only to win, but also 'We want to win beautifully...'

The Argentine champion used a hearty victory to tell the Koreans that no matter what happens to Argentina, it is not that the Korean team can easily speak rudely! !
4:0! ! ! !
Messi scored a hat-trick of assists, Aguero scored twice, Diego Milito scored a beautiful volley and substitute Carlos Tevez also scored...

When the whistle sounded at the end of the 90-minute game, a bloody score was displayed on the electronic scoreboard of the Free State Stadium, telling the Korean fans and reporters at the scene——
"What do you call a clown who can't get on the stage..."

……

In this way, the first round of the World Cup group stage until now, except for the Netherlands and Germany, which have not yet appeared, only France and Spain, the traditional strong teams, have suffered a blow...

But in comparison, although Spain lost, their situation is better than that of France. On the one hand, Spain lost because of their luck. They had two pillars with one crossbar and missed a penalty. Back to grandma's house... and the team where the tooth is pulled, neither the next American team nor the Japanese team has the strength to beat Spain...

Of course, the premise is that Spain's good luck must come back...

The situation of the French team is not good. The game against Russia, the 1998 World Cup champion, was completely passive... Also, the next opponents of the French team, whether it is Paraguay or Ghana... are not good at it...

**********
When the Italian national team got off to a good start in the World Cup, AC Milan also announced the second signing of this season, it is a signing, let alone a return that has already been confirmed...

AC Milan club vice-chairman Baresi announced that the club's young striker Parowski, who was on loan to Parma, will return to San Siro in the new season...

"Alberto is an excellent shooter, what is even more rare is that he is a player trained by (Milan)..."

In fact, in this case, next season, AC Milan's forward line will include Xiangnan, Pato, Huntelaar, Parowski, plus the veteran Inzaghi, a total of 5 shooters... It is conceivable You know, the competition for strikers is extremely fierce...

However, Basten has already stated in public that next season, more 3 forwards will be used... In this way, the configuration of 5 forwards is not too extravagant...
