Chapter 302 Friendly Match

Maldini's strength naturally needs no description. As the double captain of Italy and AC Milan, he can be said to be one of the best defenders on the planet.

But at this moment, Fran seemed a little like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. After receiving the pass from his teammates, he relied on his speed to leave Totti, who was about to catch up with him, far behind, and then faced Maldini's defense With a calm shot, he pierced the goal guarded by Buffon and opened the scoring for Uruguay.

After scoring the goal, Fran was as excited as if he had overcome obstacles for the Uruguay team in the World Series. He ran along the border for more than 20 meters and shouted at the place where the Uruguayan fans gathered, and then embraced excitedly with his teammates.

Seeing this scene, the big-name Italian players felt a little unconcerned, after all, in their opinion, this was just a friendly match.As the new European champions they are qualified enough to face the rest of the challengers with a high profile, although it seems that the Italian players are very arrogant.But it is indeed the case. Now they are strong and strong. The experienced Toldo, Maldini and others of the older generation are the internal pinnacles of the sea. They have proved themselves in the competition, and the new generation of Kenny, Totti and others are even more imposing.

Therefore, when the Italian team qualified for the World Cup qualifiers without any suspense, the major media and reporters regarded the Italian team as the favorite to win the World Cup in Korea and Japan, while France, England, and Brazil followed closely behind. .However, the Italian coach Zoff on the sidelines couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw Forlan's excellent performance without the slightest stage fright. The coaching staff behind him quickly took note of Forlan's characteristics. Zoff naturally knew the movement.

When Manchester United won three consecutive championships, Ferguson, who made great contributions, became the first team coach in English football history to complete a hat-trick.At the same time, Ferguson also made a decision that shocked everyone. He announced that he would resign as head coach after the 2001/2002 season. At the same time, his assistant McLaren also announced that he would go to Middlesbrough to replace him. Brian Robson served as the team's head coach.So in order to fill the vacancy left by McLaren, Ferguson promoted Jim Ryan and Mike Phelan, who had played for Manchester United, to assistant head coach and Manchester United first team coach respectively, and began to lead the team slowly. Towards a transformation route of Latin American style.

Following the introduction of Veron at a high price, he took away the talented Forlan from Uruguay. You must know that after almost making a world-famous youth training team, Ferguson's decision made many people confused.Zoff, who is also the champion coach, has reservations about this, but this time Fran's performance made him feel amazing, just like another Kenny!In fact, after looking at Forlan's career, the style and characteristics of the game seem to be somewhat similar.Fran's running ability is excellent, the ability to grab points is strong, and the header and the ball are basically balanced.And as he grows up, his ability to score goals has also become extremely prominent. Powerful shots with a tricky angle often pose a huge threat to the opponent's goalkeeper.And what is even more commendable is that Fran runs erratically and has amazing speed, but his shots have a strange arc.

After the game restarted, the Uruguayan team launched a fierce attack again relying on the high morale of the first goal, and Forlan is still the sharpest part of Uruguay's front line, repeatedly threatening the Italian defense.On the other hand, the Italian team did not seem to be worried at all. In the case of Uruguay's aggressive attack, the Italian players still took the ball in a leisurely manner and sat down to cooperate and perform tactical drills.

This anomaly also attracted the attention of Uruguay coach Daniel Passarella. After watching it twice carefully, Passarella found that the Italian players are very experienced, and their rhythm in the attack is more like Observing the style and tactics of the Uruguayan team, making everything more conducive to the analysis of the coaching staff, and adapting the cooperation of new and old players, it can be said that they really put forward a strong purpose for this friendly match.

The young Uruguayan players saw this game as a great opportunity to overthrow the European champions and make a name for themselves.

Such an obvious difference made Passarella involuntarily let out a wry smile.

He can't say much about the current Uruguayan team.

The current Uruguay coach Argentine Daniel Passarella was born in 1953. In 1974, Passarella entered the Argentine River Plate Club and began his brilliant career.For an organizational player like Passarella, he spends more time in the midfield, but compared to other players in the same position, Passarella can look for opportunities to attack, and repeatedly There are gains.In his professional career, he played for Argentina's River Plate for a long time. He played 298 times in the league and scored 99 goals. For players in his position, this achievement is undoubtedly extremely rare.

After that, Passarella moved to Florence and Inter Milan in Italy. In the remote Apennine Peninsula, he continued to play his strengths. While organizing offense and defense, he waited for the opportunity to hit the goal. The number of goals is no less than that of strikers.Although he has retired for many years, Passarella still holds the record for the highest number of goals scored by a defender in the Italian league so far.

As the first scoring defender in history, after retiring in September 1989, Passarella became the coach of the River Plate team in the following year. Under the circumstances that people were not optimistic, he led the team to win the National League 9 times in 4 years champion.Therefore, his excellent coaching ability has also attracted the attention of the national teams of various countries. Of course, the Argentine Football Association of the country bears the brunt. In the 3 World Cup in the United States, the Argentine team did not perform well. Served as the head coach of the national team.

At the beginning of taking office, Passarella showed his serious style. He carried out a comprehensive rectification of the lax discipline of the national team, requiring the players to cut their long hair, strictly prohibiting drug use, and prohibiting homosexuality. Abide by the code of conduct on and off the pitch, and you must not go your own way.Under his iron fist, the Argentine team has taken on a new look, with many calling Passarella the new godfather of football in Argentina.
