After Wu Jie returned to the locker room, he didn't intend to put pressure on his teammates. Let him and the two tools do what he did his best today.

Although it was the three of them who were able to get here today, they all made contributions to qualifying for the first round of the group.

In just two years, these teammates have grown to this point, which has really exceeded his expectations.

Even if you can't move on, you can score a full score for this World Cup trip.

Besides, today is not without chance.

In a football match, the probability of the weak winning the strong is not low.

It's just that the Camp Nou is still the away game of the Chinese team today. When Wu Jie led the team to play, the only supporters on the scene were the seven or eight thousand surrounded fans in the East Stand.

The number of Italian fans is about the same as that of the German fans in the last game. The Chinese team is equivalent to coming from Camp Nou in Germany to Camp Nou in Italy today.

The Chinese players glanced around and didn't bother to look up again. The language they cursed and humiliated them today was just changed from German to Italian.

Why is there almost no country in the world that likes China?

Why does the whole world discriminate against Chinese people?

The world has been humble for a long time!

……

The starting lineup of the Chinese team today has changed a lot compared to yesterday——

Left midfielder: Shen Xiangfu.

Right midfielder: Gu Guangming.

Front waist: Wu Jie.

Back waist: Zuo Shusheng, Chen Haonan.

Left back: Lu Hongxiang.

Right back: Li Junwei.

Central defenders: Zhu Bo, Jia Xiuquan, Zhen Aiguo.

Goalkeeper: Lin Yaodong.

The Chinese team played no front lineup again today, and Wu Jie also replaced Li Junwei again.

Li Junwei's performance in the last appearance was not good, but Wu Jie didn't plan on his amazing performance, this game should be regarded as his tuition fee.

It was also the first time for Zhen Aiguo to play. He was originally the most suitable midfielder, but there were already too many midfielders, so he could only play the second best position. Today is also to let him feel the atmosphere of the World Cup.

He is willing to give these two people a chance, naturally because their potential is high enough.

If nothing else, both of them will become the main players of the team in the next World Cup.

So if you put someone else on the court, you will be blasted, so it's better to give them the opportunity to learn.

Italy's lineup has also been adjusted today. In order to deal with the Chinese team, the head coach Enzo, of course, mainly guards against Wu Jie, the guy who almost scared the whole team three days ago. This battle chose to further strengthen the defense.

This time he withdrew the attacking midfielder Anthony Oni, added Franco Baresi, who had a bad relationship with him, to participate in the marking, and played a very rare 1-4-3-2 formation.

Wu Jie's eyelids twitched wildly when he saw today's Italian team's start from the system.

Forward: Francesco Graziani (84)

Forward: Paolo Rossi (90)

Left midfield: Bruno Conte (87)

Right midfield: Gabriele Oriali (86)

Defender: Marco Tardelli (86)

Centre-back: Franco Baresi (87)

Central defender: Kolovati (89)

Left-back: Antonio Cabrini (91)

Right-back: Claudio Gentile (87)

Scavenger: Gaetano Cirea (90)

Goalkeeper: Dino Zoff (86)

This lineup only looks at the frontcourt and sideways, and there is nothing amazing about it, and it is not even the top in Europe.

But if you look down, the reason why Italy can rely on defense to win the championship in the original plane is basically clear at a glance.

This is not to mention that they have two future famous central defenders sitting on the bench: Pietro Verjoward (87) and Giuseppe Bergomi (85).

Today's game is the focus of the four groups, and the attention is very high all over the world, because China, the dark horse, has defeated England, France, and Germany one after another, and they are all the favorites to win the championship before the game.

Italy naturally does not allow such a situation to happen again. There are not many European teams left. If another team is eliminated by the Chinese team, wouldn't it allow the other team to conquer all of Europe?

So today half of the Europeans want Italy to be unlucky, but the other half regard Italy as the last line of defense to defend Europe's honor, but why does this sentence sound so awkward?

After the game started, the Chinese team kicked off first.

Italy's concrete defense made it difficult for the Chinese team to score the ball into the 30-meter area in front of their goal. The defense line composed of this group of top defenders looks like an impregnable wall.

The Chinese team did not act recklessly either. Wu Jie and his teammates kept pouring the ball in the midfield, and they seemed very patient.

The Italian players were also not in a hurry, they just stepped forward to press appropriately, and didn't feel that this kind of lateral pass was threatening, just pass as much as you like.

Wu Jie was a little speechless when he saw this. The Italian didn't think it would be embarrassing for the Chinese team to throw the ball at will in the midfield. Although he didn't give up fighting in the midfield today, he gave up possession of the ball in the midfield.

Wu Jie didn't expect Italy to play such a younger brother, and in the end he could only dribble the ball to break through, ready to test how strong Italy's defense is.

The Italian players obviously absorbed the defensive experience of the German team in the previous game. The midfielder Marco was responsible for marking Wu Jie. If Wu Jie dribbled the ball and made a breakthrough, the four defenders immediately moved collectively.

In short, whichever area he breaks through, the defenders in that area will assist in the flanking attack, and the scavenger Sirea guard is responsible for guarding the fish that slipped through the net on this line of defense.

This is not a chain defense, but an improved cross linkage defense, but it is still a very advanced defensive tactic in this era, because the mainstream defensive tactic in the world is still man-to-man.

Wu Jie's breakthrough easily passed Marko's barrier, but then he will face the entire golden defense line. What greets him will be a double defense composed of Marko and one of the defenders.

However, relying on his superb personal ability, Wu Jie still used his exquisite dribbling to attract the defense of Marco and Claudio, and even tricked Marco into shifting his center of gravity in the middle of the two defenses. An exquisite through pass was sent from the direction of the penalty area.

The Chinese team has no forwards today, and the two fullbacks need to take on more offensive tasks.

Gu Guangming came to the right side of the penalty area and received the football. At this time, he was greeted by Cirea's defense.

Gu Guangming made two fake moves in a row, but the center of gravity of Cireia on the opposite side did not move, so he was stuck in his breakthrough route, ready to block the long-range shot at any time.

This kind of defense made Gu Guangming very embarrassed. He knew that if he didn't break through, he would definitely fall into a tight siege, so he could only speed up and forcefully break through Cirea's defense.

At this time, the gap in confrontation ability appeared. The old-fashioned Cirea simply predicted and blocked positions, and then used his body to resist Gu Guangming. The latter immediately couldn't hold the football under his feet, and Cirea saw the opportunity to complete it Steal the ball.

The Chinese team immediately returned to defense. Gu Guangming was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he also knew that this was the reason why his explosive power and speed were not good enough.

This kind of scavenger who can wipe the buttocks of four top defenders has almost perfected his defensive experience and consciousness. The most effective way is to use explosive power and speed to deal with it. Otherwise, even with the same foot skills as the Brazilians, it is still difficult to break through. A defender's defense.

But fortunately, the Chinese team prioritizes defense today, and they will never invest too much force in attacking.

If the Italians don't come out, then Wu Jie would rather 0:0 than give the Italians a chance to fight back.

The Chinese team's offense ended without a problem, but the Italians' offense was not bright, and their central control was not as good as the Chinese team.

Chen Haonan went directly to the side to stop Oriali's breakthrough. The threat created by the Italian was not even as good as that of the Chinese team.

Then, everyone saw that Wu Jie once again singled out the Italian defensive formation composed of seven players. What made the Italian fans feel ashamed was that Wu Jie could always pass at least two people in a row, even though he wanted to enter the penalty area alone. It's unlikely, and it's hard to pose a threat under Italy's defense by sending a through teammate, but he can shoot from a long distance!

Wu Jie also knows that he can use his personal ability to pass two people in a row, mainly because the Italian's defense is like a spring. At the beginning, he can break through easily, but the deeper he goes, the greater the defensive pressure, especially when he goes deep in front of the goal. The resistance he encountered made it difficult for him to continue to hold the ball for a long time, so he had to pass the ball to his teammates as soon as possible.

But his teammates will also encounter strong defensive pressure in this area. With the current physical strength, explosive power, and foot skills of Gu Guangming and Shen Xiangfu, they want to stop the ball well in this environment where defensive players are everywhere. It is not easy to hold the ball.At this time, it is basically impossible to pose a threat and shoot smoothly.Even if a shot is made, it must be a volley and will not pose any threat to the Italian goalkeeper Zoff.

In this case, it is necessary to increase the offensive manpower, but in that case, as long as the Italian team seizes the opportunity to counterattack and advance the goal, the game will be directly GG.

So Wu Jieming knew that Chen Haonan would have a chance to break through this line of defense. He didn't intend to take such a risk. He would rather keep shooting long-range shots from more than 30 meters away to test the 40-year-old goalkeeper.

This makes the game less ugly. After all, Wu Jie can always play with Marco with his personal skills, and after reaching the 40-meter area in front of the goal, he can continue to show off his feet under the double defense of an Italian defender. Fa broke through to the hinterland, and the last long-range shot of more than 30 meters was not without threat.

Although Zoff is a historical goalkeeper, he is old after all. It is not certain that Wu Jie kicked a super high-quality elevator ball long-range and can break through his ten fingers.

In the first 20 minutes of the first half, Wu Jie performed a full four-footed long-range shot of more than 30 meters, and hit a free kick close to 40 meters away on the post, almost scoring a goal.

But on the other hand, Italy did not have a few decent threats, because the Chinese team would also retreat across the board when defending. Wu Jie and Chen Haonan joined forces to firmly control the middle.

Although Italy's attack on the wing was able to complete a breakthrough, it was difficult to break through the penalty area guarded by the three central defenders, including the central players who returned to defense from all lines.

If the Italians used a tacit collective linkage defense, then the Chinese team today relied on their numbers and the individual performances of Wu Jie, Chen Haonan, and Lin Yaodong to stifle all offenses.

But in Italy, there is no superstar like Wu Jie who dares to charge seven or eight players with the ball alone, and can force the opponent to take every step of the way and dare not act rashly.

This makes the Italian team's offensive scenes and effects not as good as the Chinese team's, and even gives people the illusion of being suppressed by the Chinese team.

If you don’t believe me, look at the data. Until the 30th minute of the first half, the ball possession ratio of the two sides was 45%:55%, the number of shots was 6:9, and the number of passes was 92:101. The data is the one that looks better.

"Is this the two-time World Cup champion, defending the invincible Italy? It's really funny!"

"Unsteady ball control, inaccurate passing, and poor shooting, Italian football can only rely on Mussolini's 'support' to win the championship."

"This... defense is good, but apart from defense, what else can the Italians do?"

At this time, I have to say that Italy is not only the object of ridicule in Europe, fans all over the world will be mercilessly complaining about the Italians, even if they don't know how to ridicule, they will say at this time: "No ghost, Come on, tell some spaghetti jokes, the funnier ones than Milkfa."

Chapter 193 No loopholes?

Italy attaches so much importance to the Chinese team, and even shows its attitude towards Brazil and Argentina, not only because Wu Jie and Chen Haonan are too threatening, but also because they overturned the Asian team once.

In 1966, they were defeated by North Korea 1-0, breaking the biggest upset of the World Cup.

That game made Italy a laughing stock in Europe, so even if they keep 0:0 today, they don't want to give the Chinese team a chance to beat themselves.

This is the same idea as the Chinese team, so if Wu Jie's personal performance is removed from this game, it will be an extremely boring + boring game.

Playing until the end of the first half, the two teams that were determined to fight the opponent's counterattack, but at the same time could not be counterattacked by the opponent, not only failed to score a goal, but also made an astonishing number of mistakes in the counterattack. The team must also maintain a midfield interception formation at any time during the counterattack, and cannot give the opponent a chance to push a quick counterattack.

With this kind of fear, the attacks of both sides can't pull the front line apart. Naturally, the counterattack efficiency is not high, and the turnover rate must not be low.

But in the 41st minute, Zhu Bo made a fatal mistake in the backcourt!

He originally interrupted the ball passed by Conte to Rossi, but the ball he passed to Chen Haonan was too obvious and was also intercepted by Oriali.

This kind of mistake also appeared in the Italian team today, but when it was China's turn, there was confusion!

Although the Chinese team has a large number of players in the backcourt, their tacit understanding and linkage are not as good as those of Italy.

It's fine if it's in a normal state, but in the face of this sudden situation, two or three people rushed to a position at the same time.

Rossi showed his agility, choosing an unmarked route to cut into the penalty area.

Oriali kicked through, and Italy finally got the most threatening chance today. Rossi and Lin Yaodong formed a single-handed fight.

Lin Yaodong made a decisive attack, but the angle of Rossi's shot was too large.

The Italian golden boy first used a feint to lure Lin Yaodong to fall to the ground to block, but at the end he used a lob shot.

No matter how strong Lin Yaodong was, there was nothing he could do. Italy finally seized the Chinese team's mistake and scored a goal.

Rossi looked very excited after scoring, because this is his third goal in this World Cup.

Although Wu Jie scored 7 goals, as long as he can eliminate the Chinese team and Italy reach the final, he still has three games to play. It is not that he has no chance to catch up with this number.

"After going back this time, I must use the next four years to build a defense line even better than Italy."

Wu Jie didn't complain about his teammates. It can only be blamed that two years was not enough for him to build a satisfactory defense line.

This time, although the ball was intercepted due to a mistake in the backcourt, as long as the defense cooperates tacitly and performs its own duties to make up for it, even if someone can interfere with Rossi, Lin Yaodong has a high chance of saving the ball.

However, in the next ten years, China will be in the era of sports teams, and the training time of the national team is very long every year. He can completely build Italy's chain defense in four years.

As long as this national team has a world-class defense line, coupled with the top midfielder composed of him and Chen Haonan, the defensive counterattack will definitely be much better than Italy at that time.

But this is a task for the next four years, and right now we still have to find a way to equalize the score.

"Should I attack?"

When Chen Haonan was waiting for the kick-off in the midfield, he asked a special question.

"Not for the time being, the Italian's defense can stop me for a while, but it may not be able to stop me for a whole game."

Wu Jie felt that his single-player and long-range shots were not a waste of opportunities, and now he was short of a world wave, or a world-class performance.

In the original plane, the Brazilian team could break through Italy's goal with a long shot, and even tear through Italy's defense with two people.

He doesn't believe that his long-range shooting ability and breakthrough ability are inferior to those of Brazilian players. Now it is just a little bit of luck and a little impromptu performance.
