Chapter 296 The Red and Black Years Come in, score as many goals as possible! ! !

At the Loftus Stadium in Tshwane, Xiang Nan and his teammates watched the match between Brazil and Algeria...

Only 5 minutes into the game, Kaka sent a wonderful pass, and Fabiano succeeded in countering offside, without wasting a single chance to 1:0! !
From this moment on, Algeria began to tremble under the sharp attack of the Brazilian. In the end, Pato scored a goal before the end of the first half, and Kaka and Alves also had a goal in the second half. In the end, in the celebration of Dunga raising his arms high, Brazil 4:0 Algeria, advanced to the knockout round...

Xiangnan was surprised by Fabiano's good condition. The Sevilla striker is undoubtedly the sharpest weapon of the Brazilian team in this World Cup. Unlike Pato's dexterity, Fabiano is physically strong and grabs points. Strong ability and good technique at the foot...

In another match of Group C, Mexico 0:1 Serbia, Serbia reached the top 16 second in the group! !

In 2 days, Italy will face the South Korean team at the Tswane Loftos Stadium. Therefore, today, Lippi led the Italian team to watch the match between Brazil and Algeria in this stadium. The situation in the game is also to familiarize yourself with the opponent. After all, for Italy, which aims to defend the title, Brazil is an opponent that has to be careful...

……

On June 6, Italy conducted a small-intensity training. Xiangnan returned to the hotel and talked with Joanna on the phone. After caring for her baby, Xiangnan hung up the phone and walked out of the room. There is a hot spring behind the hotel. Giovinco and the others were already waiting there. A few young people decided to soak in the hot springs and relax...

In fact, for Italy's last group opponent, the Italian team's mentality is very relaxed. However, relaxation does not mean that they do not pay attention. When it comes to this game, strong self-confidence is revealed in his bones. Xiang Nan is almost certain that the Italian team, which has already appeared in advance, will teach the South Korean team a good lesson...

However, Xiang Nan's good mood was ruined by a group of South Korean journalists who had been stuck there for some reason at the elevator entrance...

Xiang Nan obviously didn't expect to meet reporters at the elevator entrance. After all, the security of the hotel is still very important. God knows how these Koreans are here...

The Korean reporter seemed very happy and proud that they were able to block Xiangnan, "Andre, do you have anything to say about the match against the South Korean team?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have anything to say..." Xiang Nan tried to squeeze into the elevator, but the Korean reporter was obviously well prepared and got stuck at the elevator entrance...

"So, what do you think of Park Joo-yong?" A South Korean reporter with an 'uncomfortable' expression asked...

"He is a capable player...he has good shooting skills..." Xiang Nan was a little impatient. He had some impression of this name. Lippi seemed to mention it when he explained the tactics. However, the name of 'Silver Fox' The expression also showed that he didn't take it too seriously... Presumably, a Korean striker still couldn't whet the appetite of the proud Italian...

However, in the face of Xiang Nan's routine compliments, the South Korean reporter raised his head slightly, "Park Joo-yong, in our Republic of Korea, is called 'Andre of South Korea'..."

Xiang Nan turned his head and saw that several security guards had already rushed over. Xiang Nan who was in a hurry to leave did not hear what the South Korean reporter said, so he nodded, "We will take it seriously about tomorrow's game..."

At this time, the security guards also came and rescued Xiang Nan from being surrounded by South Korean reporters...

After soaking in the hot spring, Xiangnan reported to the leader of the Italian national team, Massimo Andrade, about what happened at the elevator entrance after returning. The Italian national team immediately protested to the hotel, thinking that the hotel’s security Something went wrong, which affected the normal life and safety of the Italian players...

Massimo Andrade also had a look of rejoicing. Fortunately, there were only a few South Korean reporters. If there were a few radical Korean fans, it would be dangerous. You know, these Korean fans simply cannot be considered by common sense. At the World Cup in South Korea and Japan in 2002, Massimo Andrade knew the general staff of the Italian national team. At that time, when the South Korean team 'raised their heads high' in the semi-finals, the Italians learned that there were South Korean fans in the square and set themselves on fire. To celebrate, each of them crossed their chests in horror...

The hotel immediately found out the source of the problem. Several South Korean journalists paid 500 euros to pay off a hotel waiter, dressed in hotel work clothes, sneaked into the hotel, and then waited for a while at the elevator entrance that Italian players often use. Blocked to the south, those Korean reporters are also lucky...

Regarding this situation, the Italians did not say anything. So far, the security of the World Cup in South Africa is still very strict. Even some extremist organizations that often create terrorist attacks have not made any major moves, which has been widely praised by international public opinion. In fact, the Italian national The incident encountered by the team is really not a big deal in the eyes of South Africans...

The Italian national team immediately protested to the organizing committee of the World Cup in South Africa. In the end, the organizing committee of the World Cup in South Africa punished the hotel internally and asked the hotel to strictly strengthen security to ensure that similar incidents would not occur. The Korean reporters in the hotel, the organizing committee only gave a verbal warning. The organizing committee has no power to deal with it. It is just a warning that if similar incidents happen again, all Korean journalists will be disqualified from interviewing...

……

After this episode, Xiang Nan and the Italian team did not pay too much attention. After all, there were precedents for these situations in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea. There was even a Korean chef who, during the World Cup, Admitted that during the World Cup, some of the vegetables he purchased for the Italian national team were not very fresh for 'some reasons'...

*********
On the same day, the final round of the World Cup Group F and H group matches also quietly ended...

The Netherlands 3:0 Saudi Arabia, van der Vaart scored his first goal in this World Cup, Drenthe told everyone with his long shot that "half-orcs" can not only break human legs, but also play incredible Long shot...The Saudi defender accidentally hit Robben's cross into his own goal in stoppage time, 3:0...

In another game, Uruguay 0:1 Denmark, the veteran Thomasson scored a goal suspected of offside in the 12th minute of the game. The Uruguay coach protested against this controversial goal. Sent to the stands, the poor Uruguayan had to be directed by the assistant coach for the remaining 80 minutes...

At the end of the game, after Uruguay was "unjustly" eliminated, the "Clarion" in Uruguay expressed angrily——
"Maybe, some old men in FIFA, for some big-mouthed shit prophecy... take the Uruguayans..."

Pointing the finger at him, he asserted before the game that Denmark would become the biggest dark horse in this World Cup, and the old man Pele who has a close relationship with FIFA...

However, to be honest, Uruguay's performance in this game is also average, and their best performance is their goalkeeper... Judging from the performance of the whole game, the Danes won for granted...

Germany 3: 1 North Korea, German team Schweinsteiger, Gomez, Ballack scored three goals in the first and second half, North Korean forward Chung Dae-se scored a header...

Australia 0:1 Slovakia, Slovakia advanced...

Since then, only the Group G match between Italy and Argentina in the group stage of the World Cup in South Africa remains...

*********
On the morning of June 6th, the whole Italian team was having breakfast...

"According to the news from South Korea's "Daehan Sports", when Andre was interviewed by the South Korean media, he strongly praised the South Korean team forward Park Joo-yong, thinking that Park Joo-yong will bring unprecedented challenges to the Italian defense... Park Joo-yong In South Korea, there is the title of 'Andre of the Republic of Korea', and Andre said that the Italian team will do their best to challenge the Korean team..."

Looking at the big TV screen in the south, the BBC reproduced the news from the Korean media as the focus news, and was stunned. The Italian players who were eating were also stunned, and they all looked towards the south...

Xiang Nan came to his senses and spread his hands, "Guys, these words, God testify, God knows where they heard them, I wouldn't say these words..."

Cannavaro beside Xiangnan, as an experienced old captain, also got up quickly, "I believe Andre...he won't say those words, Andre won't lie..."

"That's right, in the 2008 Olympic Games, Andre gave the Koreans a hard K...he wouldn't give these Koreans a good face..." Qiao Wenke said...

At this time, Lippi brought the coaching staff over. As the captain, Cannavaro is obliged to report what happened...

Lippi asked what happened, but the 'Silver Fox' nodded and said nothing. The experienced Italian coach thought about it with his feet, and knew that this was the news fabricated by those Korean reporters. Nan has also reported to the national team according to the regulations...

"Hurry up and eat...don't be fooled by the Koreans...in the afternoon...there is still a game...play well..." Lippi patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder, and the last sentence was for him...

After the coaching staff left, Qiao Wenke came over and looked at Xiang Nan, "Andre, what will you do with these Koreans...?"

Xiang Nan stuffed the salad on the plate into his mouth in one gulp, "What do you think?..."

At this moment, the Juventus genius midfielder feels so cold...

*********
Although the match between Italy and South Korea is not a focus battle, and Italy has already appeared in advance, but in view of the well-known grievances between Italy and South Korea, almost no one would think that Lippi will let South Korea go in this game It's a bit of a stretch, even Koreans don't think so...

In Italy, the game has been hyped for a long time. "Gazzetta dello Sport" even used a special page to review the tragic history of Italy being "killed" by the South Korean team in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup...Obviously, this kind of The education of nostalgic history is very effective... There is a burning voice over the Apennine Peninsula, that is——
Kill the Koreans! ! !
Lippi even had an illusion that if Italy failed to defeat the Koreans in this game, or even failed to win a beautiful victory, the domestic madness would tear him apart...

Albertini, vice president of the Italian Football Association, even made a special phone call before the game to ask Lippi his opinion on the game against South Korea...

Therefore, the Loftus Stadium in Tshwane was still full of seats... Surprisingly, about 1 Korean fans appeared at the Loftus Stadium, and the red Tai Chi Tigers were in the stands, causing a stir Not a small wave of people...

The changing room at the Loftus Stadium.

Lippi had a serious expression on his face, "I'll say it again, all I want in this game is victory,...a big win!!!!"

Lippi issued a must-win order. In addition to considering domestic public opinion, there is also that, now, Italy's momentum is very good. He needs to maintain continuity. If he can beat the South Korean team, he will also maintain the good inertia of the team ...

"Don't worry, sir, we will make the Koreans have a nightmare for a year!!!" Xiang Nan yelled...he was already irritated...

……

At the press conference before the match, Xiang Nan and Italian captain Cannavaro appeared in the press hall together with Lippi as player representatives...

"I want to score as many goals as possible in this game..." Xiang Nan's first words shocked everyone, "Maybe 1, maybe 2, or 3, maybe 4, anyway, as long as I am still on the court, I will work hard... In short, this is a game worth looking forward to..."

Quiet! ! !

Surprisingly quiet! ! !

In the entire news hall, the Koreans' O-shaped mouths opened like a Jamaican ham. At this moment, the Korean reporter who had interviewed BJ's Olympic Games suddenly broke out in cold sweat...

This damn "Daehan Sports", what are you doing to provoke Andre...

Lippi didn't express the slightest, for the nonsense question raised by the angry South Korean reporter, "This is an insult to the South Korean team...", "Silver Fox" just said, "When the time is right, I will Andre left early to rest..."

The audience was in an uproar...

When did Lippi become so arrogant...?
The Italian journalists present were as excited as if they had been pumped... Undoubtedly, today, a boy named Andre and an old man named Marcelo Lippi are the most excited names in Apennines...Of course , the premise is that Italy wins... and wins beautifully...

*********
"Let's go!!!!" Cannavaro raised his right arm and slammed open the door of the locker room. The Italian captain was a player for the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. For this game, the veteran can't wait... …

Through the long and narrow corridor, players from the Italian and South Korean teams strode into the Loftus Stadium...

A group photo of the two teams...the expressions are all serious...especially the players of the Italian team, it looks more like they are playing in the final of the World Cup...

shaking hands with each other...

Cannavaro and Park Ji-sung, the captain of the South Korean team, exchanged team flags...

guess side...

Xiang Nan stood in the middle circle, chatting with his field partner Iaquinta today. Giuseppe Rossi did not start because of a cold...

Both sides are ready and waiting for the moment when the opening whistle blows...

*********
"Let's take a look at the starting lists of both sides for this game..." Rossi's voice sounded...

With a clear whistle, amidst the cheers like mountains and tsunami, the game started...

"Italy's striker partners today are Andre and Iaquinta. It is said that Giuseppe Rossi had a fever before the game, so Marcelo did not put him in the starting lineup of this game. In addition, Pirlo also got In addition to rest, Ambrosini and Camoranesi also got the chance to start..." Rossi said.

*********
In the 4th minute of the game, Camoranesi used a beautiful stop to get rid of Ki Sung-yong's defense, looked up and looked ahead, and made a gesture to pass to Giovinco who stretched out his hand and tricked the one who came up to grab the ball Park Ji-sung, then broke through on the right, the right was already empty, enough for this descendant of Pampas to spread his feet and run wildly...

Maybe it was because Xiang Nan was too jealous, or maybe Xiang Nan's words at the press conference before the game angered the Korean players. Iaquinta's defense...

Camoranesi made an emergency stop and comfortably dropped the ball into the penalty area near the baseline...

Xiang Nan was at the front point, Jiang Minxiu held onto his jersey tightly, but he still took off reluctantly, with a slight head kick, the ball flew to the back point, a blue shadow, almost heading towards the flying ball smashed past...
