Chapter 4 Warm Up
Thinking of this, he silently suppressed his previous thoughts, and said to Totti beside him: "There is no way, after all, there is one less person!"

Without Kenny's obstruction, the referee Mok finally took out the yellow card in his chest bag and held it up to Zambrotta. Then the two yellows turned into one red, and he showed the ruby ​​God of War card to Zambrotta!
Gianluca Zambrotta, who had known the result for a long time, was devastated, and walked towards the player tunnel with a dejected expression.

Tens of thousands of Dutch fans cheered again when they saw this, and they sang a zero-hour ballad under the organization of various fan leaders: "Zenden~Zenden, our pride! Today!, we must let the Italians know~! We are the strongest kings!"

The strong Italian fans were not to be outdone, they also shouted the slogan: "The sky is always blue!"

Cenden on the side clenched his fists excitedly, he knew that he had made a contribution.

In the first 10 minutes, Cannavaro fouled Bergkamp on the right side of the midfield, and the referee blew his whistle.While the Italians were discussing with the referee, Bergkamp quickly sent a free kick. He caught the ball and rushed along the wing, while Cannavaro, Albertini, and Zambrotta were still in Bergkamp. Near Pu, failed to return to defense in time.He quickly dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and quickly made up for Nesta on the side to stretch his legs but did not touch him, but at this time Cenden fell to the ground eager to make a contribution, and the referee Moke shook his head when he saw this. Cenden was punished for diving, and he was shown the Topaz God of War card.

Looking back on the previous scene, he does not regret it, because now the Italian team has finally been sent off one person.

The commentators sitting in the stands were also full of praise for Cenden's performance today. Although the diving in the penalty area before was a bit of an act, his sharp breakthrough and sense of the ball made the Italian lose sight of one and lose another, and the defense frequently made mistakes.

With Zambrotta's departure, the game resumed. Facing Italy with one less player, the Dutch launched a stormy attack. At this time, the Italian's defense was crumbling like a boat in a storm.

The Dutch fans in the stands also gave out huge shouts along with the attack of the Dutch team, and the situation on the field began to really show a one-sided situation.

However, what surprised the commentators from various countries was that the Italian coach Zoff did not make lineup adjustments, but they rationally did not make any comments, because they knew that Zoff knew it well.

As the patron saint of the Italian national team, Zoff participated in the ninth World Cup held in Mexico for the first time in 1970.He has won people's affirmation for his accurate judgment and timely attack.It was also in this World Cup that the Italian team went all the way through, defeating Uruguay, Sweden, Israel, Mexico, West Germany and other teams successively, and won the runner-up.This is a rare honor for Zoff, who is participating in the World Cup for the first time.Then he was 82 years old when he participated in the World Cup in 40. In that World Cup, he took over the bottom block in the game, led the Blue Army to resist the attack of the Brazilian team tenaciously, and finally defeated the German team to win the championship. The oldest member of the winning team in World Cup history.

As the goalkeeper Zoff who has made great contributions to Italy's championship, the Italian people have a kind of blind trust in him. They believe that Zoff, who is now the coach, will help the Italian team to tide over the difficulties again.

Even the players on the field at this time thought so!

However, things were not as expected, and the Italians who had one less man to fight made it worse. Just 5 minutes after Zambrotta, the Dutch team launched an attack. Overmars made a cross from the right. In the pass, just as he was getting the ball with his back and was about to turn around, Nesta stretched out his hand and pulled Kluiver down without touching the ball. He was sentenced to death by the German referee Mok. A penalty kick was awarded without hesitation!
Now the Italians were completely overwhelmed, and almost all the teammates quickly surrounded the referee Mok. They didn't understand why they would award a penalty after sending off one man!

The angry goalkeeper Toldo yelled at the referee, and the surrounding Italian players also expressed their dissatisfaction. The captain Maldini, who was about to run away, pointed at the referee Moke angrily and pointed at his head, wanting to ask Moke if he Brain problem.

But all of this was of no avail. After the referee showed the yellow card to the chattering goalkeeper Toldo, the Italians could only disperse one after another, waiting for the ruling of fate.

After a few minutes of preparation, Dutch star defender Frank De Boer, who also played for Barcelona, ​​stepped onto the penalty spot, and the noisy Amsterdam Stadium immediately fell into a moment of silence, one or two, followed by a short whistle De Boer Er hit the ball to the lower left corner!
And the Italian goalkeeper Toldo also leaped to the lower left corner miraculously, yes, he jumped out!

cheer!As Toldo bravely saved the penalty, tens of thousands of Dutch fans fell into a brief silence, while the Italians fell into a carnival!
Even coach Zoff and the substitutes on the sidelines cheered excitedly!

The commentators from various countries all admired the performance of goalkeeper Toldo. He relied on his own strength to temporarily save the Italian team that had reached the edge of the cliff!
In the next ten minutes, under the iron-blooded defense of the Italian and the high-resistance of goalkeeper Toldo, the first half was finally passed without any danger!
With the referee's whistle, the players finally got a rest and walked off the court towards the player tunnel.

Compared with the excitement and encouragement of the Dutch team's locker room, the Italian's locker room is very calm. Everyone used this short time to replenish their physical strength. Facing the players who fell into silence, coach Zoff patted praise Brotta's shoulder said: "Hey, Gianluca cheer up, what's wrong? It's not your fault! You know I would have done that even if I were in your shoes!"

Then he went to Maldini and said: "My captain! You should calm down! Look! Nesta blocked a yellow card for you, haha!"

But in the face of such a situation, the team members couldn't laugh. Gianluca Gambrotta parted his lips, but finally said nothing.

Zoff didn't care about these anymore, but looked at Totti and Kenny and said, "You two go get ready to warm up and play in the second half!"

Surprised Totti hurriedly pulled Kenny beside him to warm up on the court. After walking two steps, he realized something was wrong and immediately put away his joyful expression and became serious. He knew that he must go all out at this time Well, it must be a tactical consideration for the coach to let him play, and it cannot be caused by personal thoughts!
What he didn't notice at this time was that Kenny beside him was not so ecstatic. A 19-year-old young man who had just been selected for the national team could actually play as a substitute in such an important game. Kenny wasn't even the slightest bit excited.

 Finally it's Kenny's turn!Look forward to his performance!I hope you will collect and recommend a lot!
