Chapter 292 The Red and Black Years Italy VS Argentina ([-]) An extremely fun goal! !
In the north locker room of the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, the stars of Italy are all wheezing, this is the irresistible desire of the men to fight...

The tactics that should be arranged have all been arranged! !
The rest is for the men to fight and execute! !

Xiang Nan could feel his chest rising and falling due to the sharp panting...

……

Lippi walked to Xiang Nan, patted his offensive core on the shoulder, "Andre, this game, you, play freely..."

Xiang Nan froze for a moment, then nodded heavily...

……

When the time came, the locker room door was kicked open with a loud bang, and Cannavaro walked in front. No one spoke, but the muffled flames were burning, and he strode towards the player corridor...

The Argentine players also rushed out of the locker room. The two teams, who were going to fight desperately for a while, looked at each other with deep meaning, and did not hide the hostility in their eyes... However, no one spoke...

He gave the opponent a fierce look... and rushed towards the player tunnel...

……

Xiangnan was in the middle circle, pressed his legs, and carried out the final warm-up. The referee of this game, the Belgian Debrickley, was checking the net...

Speaking of the head coach of this game, Debrickley is also a celebrity in the international football referee circle, just like the Maldini family of AC Milan has been players for three generations. The Belgian Debrickley , the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have been referees... It can be counted as coming from a family of referees...

"Roberto, what do you think of this game? What do you think is the chance of Italy winning?" Rossi asked his commentary partner, former Italian national team coach Donadoni...

In fact, the commentary partner of the Italian national sports TV station for this game is quite nonsense. Let Lippi's predecessor explain it, and it is really thanks to the Italians who thought it out...

"This game is no less than the final of the World Cup. In fact, it is hard to say how much chance there is now. However, the key to Italy's victory lies in Andre's performance..." Donadoni added Without directly answering this question from Rossi...

It's interesting to say that in the 2008 European Cup, Donadoni didn't like going south, but after leaving office, it was Donadoni who waved the flag in the Apennine Peninsula and called on Lippi to use the south as the core of the offensive system. ...The Italian media even joked that this is a lesson learned from Donadoni's blood and tears...

*********
beep! ! ! ! !
With the whistle of the Belgian referee De Brickley, the game...

here we go! ! !

Argentina kicks off first! !

Diego Milito knocked the ball back to Aguero, Aguero knocked back to Messi, Messi stepped on the ball on the spot, suddenly accelerated and changed direction, shaking off Giovinco's grab, the speed did not slow down, along the way In the middle, he quickly passed De Rossi, who had not yet entered the game state, and was pulled down by Pirlo...

Argentina started off with a well-placed free-kick...

This free kick is about 29 meters away from the goal...

……

"goooooooaaal!!! The goal has been scored!!! Veron!!!" The commentator on the scene shouted loudly, "Wonderful arc, Argentina took the lead at the beginning... Now, in the stands, there are probably fans who just Come in, find a seat..."

"Cough, cough..." Rossi coughed violently in surprise, "This ball... Veron's footwork is still so wonderful... Gianluigi can't do anything..."

Donadoni agrees, "The game, just started, the Italians are not concentrating... The Italians conceded the ball before they even touched it... This game is not easy to play..."

The former head coach of the Italian national team frowned...

In the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, the Argentine fans, who had enjoyed the climax at the beginning, were already going crazy... The Argentine flag was flying high above the stadium... The Argentine fans also made waves...

Maradona rushed out from the bench, clenched his fists... as if roaring into the sky...

Not far away, Lippi's face turned black, and the second button of his shirt was unbuttoned. In fact, the temperature in Port Elizabeth tonight is only about 19 degrees, which is still a bit cold...

……

Let's review the goal...

Veron stood on the penalty spot, looking directly at the Italian goal... The Argentine veteran's intention was obvious, he wanted to shoot directly! !

Buffon felt the danger, he tried to move, his body was still a little stiff... Damn, a free kick in this position is still very dangerous...

Buffon also knows how good Veron is. Although the Argentine returned to the Argentine domestic league and stayed away from the mainstream European leagues, Buffon also experienced Veron's footwork in Serie A back then... Although, now that he is old, Veron may not be able to run anymore, but his footwork is probably three points better than before...

A short run-up...swipe...ball touch...

The ball looked like a beautiful whip whipped by a horse, with the sound of rapid wind and violent rotation, it hung directly into the upper left corner of the goal... Buffon even made a symbolic save! !
After scoring the goal, Veron is completely crazy! !The Argentine 'wizard' rushed to the stands of the Argentine fans, beating his chest violently, and roaring loudly...

As if to say——
'Is Lao Tzu old? ……No! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! '

……

Xiang Nan was a little depressed... In fact, it was impossible not to be depressed... Looking at Veron who was being celebrated by Messi and Aguero, in Xiang Nan's mind, this self was almost like when he was a child, looking at the The Argentines of the 'Wizard' game live, and now the scene, has had a bizarre fold...  

This conceded ball was a big blow to the Italian team. Until it was discarded, the Italians hadn't even touched the ball once! ! !
The game lasted to 1 minute and 04 seconds, Italy 0:1 Argentina! ! !
*********
"Pass it here!!!"

Xiang Nan was near the midfield, changing his position back and forth, waving towards Marchisio who was dribbling the ball...

The game has been going on for 19 minutes, and the score on the field is still 0:1. After taking the lead, Argentina played more patiently. The small-scale technical cooperation between the South Americans made it difficult for the Italians to even get the ball. more difficult……

However, after a short period of confusion after conceding a goal, Italy also quickly stabilized the formation. Italy's chain defense also allowed the Argentine to cooperate beautifully. Some can't do anything...

Marchisio glanced towards the south side, his body suddenly felt affectionate, his ankle flicked... and he made a posture to pass the ball... Gago, who was defending him, immediately came to block, but this was a fake Action, Marchisio suddenly made a spike, shaking the Real Madrid star away, and then began to accelerate...

At this time, Xiang Nan also started to rush towards the penalty area... Following Marchisio's boomerang-like pass, Xiang Nan squeezed Zanetti away from the penalty area and made a beautiful lion throw The movement of the head attacking the goal...

The top of this ball is beautiful! !
"Beautiful!! Andre's body is very stretched... It's a textbook header!! However, Romero's save is also very good..." Rossi said...

Whoa whoa whoa! !

Over the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium, there was also applause. The Italian fans in the north stand kept waving huge green, white and red tricolor flags (Italian flag), loudly applauding the shot to the south... ...Although the goal was not scored, but now, as long as the Italian fans see the resolute eyes and uncomfortable energy of the blue No. 9... they feel that they have no fear...

It seems that victory will come sooner or later! !
Xiang Nan is like this, let the fans who love him rest assured, it is the same in Turin, it is the same in Chelsea, it is the same in AC Milan, and it is even more so in the Italian national team...

Corner kicked...

This is a tactical corner kick, Pirlo knocked the ball to Giovinco, and ran towards the edge of the penalty area. Giovinco controlled the ball and made a gesture to break into the penalty area, which attracted Papa's attention, and then a ground ball , the ball reached Pirlo's feet...

Pirlo did not stop the ball, kicked directly, the ball with a wonderful arc, hoisted into the penalty area, Grosso, who is tall and tall, jumped high, chased directly with his head, and the ball hit the post hard , get out of the bottom line...

……

Lippi jumped on the spot, a little regretful that the goal was not scored, but at this time, 'Silver Fox' was not in a hurry. In just 2 minutes, Italy used the header to threaten Argentina twice. goal...

Maradona's complexion is not good, and he also realized that there is a problem that has always existed and troubled the Argentine team... that is, the problem of the Pampas Eagle's anti-high-altitude ball...Look at the average height of Argentina , I know why Grosso, who is 191cm tall, can easily hit the ball...

*********
After receiving Cannavaro's side kick, Abate galloped all the way along the right... In today's game, the young Abate replaced Zambrotta, which also made Italy's right in speed and impact In terms of strength, I have stepped up to a higher level...

Abate knocked the ball to Pirlo, and continued to run along the side. , Veron immediately came up to defend, Abate pushed the ball forward, dodged Veron's tackle, chased towards the ball... and passed the ball into the penalty area...

In the penalty area, Dominguez and Heinze immediately followed Xiangnan and Giuseppe Rossi...

Xiangnan slapped away Domingos' black hand that was secretly pulling his jersey, retreated outside the penalty area, straightened his chest, and easily unloaded the ball, and then pushed it with the arch of his foot. The ball seemed to be Passing through Dominguez's small door as if he had eyes, at the same time, Xiangnan also accelerated past Domingos...a sliding shovel that fell to the ground...

The ball...slid past the goal! ! ! !
Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! ! !

"It's so beautiful!!!!" The fans and reporters in the stands expressed the same feeling. The man with the big number 9 on the back on the court made movements with his feet. A kind of artistic enjoyment! ! !
People's mouths exaggerated into an O shape... The entire Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium fell into a sea of ​​applause...

……

On the Argentine bench, Maradona smacked his mouth, touched his chin, and looked at the player on the field who was covering his head with his jersey annoyed by the missed tackle just now... In a flash...

*********
After passing the ball continuously, it reached Messi's feet. Abate didn't dare to be careless, and stuck to the Barcelona star tightly. Under Abate's pressure, Messi carefully protected the ball...

clap clap! !
The ball made a dull sound from left foot to right foot, and from right foot to left foot...

Abate was a little nervous... At this time, Messi suddenly leaned to the left, and at the same time, flicked the ball to the right very lightly... When Abate blocked it, it was like a magical time and space, the ball snapped With a sound, it returned to Messi's right foot, and the toe poked forward. At the same time, Messi began to accelerate and broke through Abarth...

"Beautiful!! Messi's moves are wonderful..." Even though it was the opponent's core breakthrough, Rossi still didn't hesitate to praise him...

After Messi broke through, he suddenly made an inward cut. On the edge of the penalty area, he raised his right foot and swung it directly at the bottom of the ball.

Messi wanted to rub a back corner. He noticed that Buffon's position was a bit forward, but the strength of his feet was not well grasped...

clap clap! !
Maradona also stood on the sidelines, applauding the wonderful performance of his lover... Before the opening of this World Cup, Maradona predicted to the media, 'This World Cup will belong to Messi's World Cup... ...'

In this regard, the Italian media, who were not reconciled to being compared to the Argentines, made their own voices——
"We have Andre..."

*********
Messi dribbled the ball through the half court and advanced along the right. Grosso couldn't keep up with Messi's footsteps at all. The foot shot, but didn't hit the right part, the ball spun, made an arc, and flew out of the goal...

"Italy escaped a catastrophe...Argentina also wasted the best chance to expand the score..." Donadoni's words sounded more like the words of an official FIFA spokesperson...

……

Xiangnan received a big long pass from De Rossi, dribbled the ball continuously, spiked the ball, and after pulling the ball, he swayed Gago's upper tackle, and then made an emergency stop, stepped on the ball on the spot, and waited for Sane Although he knew that Xiangnan's intention was for Di's attack, the captain of Inter Milan had no choice but to defend because there were no other Argentine players within 2 meters of Xiangnan...

Just after Zanetti moved, Xiangnan flicked his ankle, the ball crossed the turf, and arrived at the feet of Giuseppe Rossi, the Villarreal striker, and there was no cover in front...

Facing the ball, Giuseppe Rossi made an arc...the ball spun towards Argentina's goal with the sound of the wind...flicked past the goal post...

Italy also missed a great chance to equalize...

Perhaps these two attacks consumed too much energy from both sides... In the next game... a stalemate began...

*********
The game is like a cup of hot boiling water. After the initial climax, it gradually becomes flat... Occasionally, some firepower comes up, and then there is a thud...

Argentina, after taking the lead, carried out its own rhythm unhurriedly... However, Italy, which was behind, seemed not in a hurry to equalize the score, and was even at a disadvantage on the field...

However, Xiang Nan was very excited in today's game. His speed and breakthrough brought a lot of trouble to the Argentine... It can be said that the entire first half lasted to 37 minutes, although, in the score The Argentine team took the lead in the world, but it was the 'Mr. Footballer of the World' who made the fans happy and full of praise...

Even the light of Macy's epiphany was completely overwhelmed by the brightness of the south facing 100 watt bulb...

……

The floodlights of the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium emitted a white mist in the slightly cold night air...

After receiving the pass from Giovinco, Xiangnan dribbled the ball on the left and broke through the defense of Veron and Gago, then handed the ball to Marchisio who came to ask for the ball, and ran towards the penalty area...

"Look at him!! Watch Andre!!!!" Maradona jumped up on the sidelines and yelled into the stadium. The guy he admired, every time he approached the penalty area of ​​Argentina, The Argentine football champion's heartbeat accelerated for a while...

Zanetti posted it right away...

However, the captain of Inter Milan still underestimated Xiangnan's ability. When Zanetti posted it, Xiangnan suddenly took half a step back outside the penalty area. It was this half step that made a gap between Zanetti and Xiangnan At this time, Marchisio's pass also came...

A half high ball! !
After stopping the ball with Nan's dexterous chest, he used his knee to avoid Gago's tackle. Then, he swung his right foot and supported it with his left foot. The calf of his right foot swung rapidly, as if it were a violent spring. It hit the middle of the ball hard...

"Ho ho!!!!!!!"

Xiang Nan let out a low growl... like a hungry lion, his eyes were wide open, staring at the path of the ball——
"Give me!!! Go in!!!!!! Go in!!!!!!"

With a strong whistling sound, the ball flew towards the upper right corner of the goal...

Ohh Ohh ohh! ! ! ! ! !
In the stands of the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, the Italian fans held their breath... Standing up, their eyes, emitting a hot light, everyone can feel the violent beating of their hearts...

"Lord...Go in!!!" This is the prayer of a small fan from Sicily in the stands...

In fact, at this time, in the Apennine Peninsula, the voices of praising the Virgin and the Son became a series of gospel tunes...

Argentina's goalkeeper, Romero, reacted quickly, with a force from the waist and abdomen, stretched out his right hand, and rushed towards the whistling ball...

only--
Whoosh! ! !
The ball was in flight, and suddenly fell, passing Romero's right palm...

"gooooooo—ooooaaa—aaal!!!!!! ANDREY!!! -- ANDREY!!! AWESOME ANDREY!!! INCREDIBLE ANDREY!!! AMAZING ANDREY !!! Genius!!! Please forgive my ignorance, I don't know what words to use to describe this guy... At this moment, a man named Andre from Mars...conquered Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium!!!!!!" Rosie roared loudly... roared at the top of his lungs...

The game progressed to the 43th minute...

Italy equalized the score 1:1! ! ! ! !

Xiang Nan was crazy, he was completely crazy... Xiang Nan rushed into the net behind Romero, picked up the ball and rushed out... his whole face was flushed with blood from extreme excitement... he Pushing away the siege of teammates rushing over, ignoring the hugs of his teammates, he ran all the way to the edge of the stands of the Italian fans... Facing the crazy fans...

Xiang Nan stuffed the ball into his shirt and pretended to be a pregnant woman...

"Joanna, did you see it? This is a gift for you...a unique gift that belongs to the World Cup!!!!"

At this moment, in the villa in Milan, Joanna, who was watching the game with Hansen's wife, suddenly felt the saltiness in the corners of her eyes, and a dampness filled her eyes and quickly filled her whole heart...

……

"Andre!!! A great name, cheered by people in the World Cup..."

At this moment, the entire Apennine Peninsula is crazy! ! !
At this moment, more than half of the Italian men are waving their arms wildly in front of the TV... Raising the glass of wine in their hands, shouting wantonly, the wheat-yellow beer flows down the hairy chest slide……

This ball! !

It's so heart-wrenching...

Extremely fun! ! ! ! !
