But the very white Italian team faced the weakest opponent they had chosen, and it was the Mexican who once had the upper hand in the whole game.

This is actually not a surprise. Italy is extremely utilitarian in this tournament, especially after entering the knockout round.

Although the Mexican team's paper lineup is a little worse, they are a second-tier team after all, no matter how weak they are, how weak can they be?

This is also a contest between the first tier and the second tier under normal circumstances. Many times when encountering a situation where the style of play is against each other or the tactics are crushed, the second tier team will not only not be at a disadvantage, they can completely beat the first tier. A class of teams.

And a situation like the Chinese team, which can easily crush other first-tier teams, is beyond the normal category. They can really be classified as aliens.

Today's Italian team is obviously in a mediocre state, especially the two strikers Baggio and Schillaci, who seem to be wasting opportunities more than anyone else.

Facing the shells sent by the midfielder, the two either stopped the ball and stopped it big, or they traveled all the way to give the ball to their opponents.

The shooting accuracy of the entire frontcourt seemed to be aimed at France. A bunch of anti-aircraft guns and crooked handles made the Chinese players in front of the TV shake their heads.

Mexico's offense was obviously better today, thanks to their better preparations and better player status, so even the Chinese team thought that Mexico could knock out the hosts in an upset.

But the host is the host after all, and today the solid defense of the Italians did not perform abnormally.

Although Real Madrid striker Hugo Sanchez scored a one-handed goal that was not offside in the second half, the goal was forcibly blown away by Italy's home court advantage.

This decisive goal was ruled invalid, which seriously hit the morale of the Mexicans!

With the excellent performance of the defense line, Italy did not allow the Mexicans to get a chance to threaten the goal. In the end, the two teams drew in regular time.

Both sides were a little afraid of the "Golden Ball" rule in the overtime match. As a result, they shook hands again after three or 10 minutes of caution, and the game was finally dragged into a more brutal penalty shootout.

Now the Chinese team is in good spirits. After all, the "penalty shootout" is the most exciting part of a football game, especially the penalty shootout after entering the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Every game is full of legend.

Because the teams that can reach this stage almost all have world-renowned well-known stars. After all, even Cameroon has a world-class influential Uncle Mira.

So the penalty shootout in this kind of game often means: there must be a superstar on one side who will become another tragic hero because he fell on 12 yards.

And it was the Italians who were victors today, and their young striker, Roberto Baggio, a melancholy talented rising star, became the winner on the crucial third penalty despite frequently squandering chances in regular time. The final hero.

Because before his free throw, Real Madrid's main striker Hugo Sanchez actually kicked the football off the crossbar on the third free throw.

This also caused the active Mexican No. [-] star to instantly fall from the clouds of national heroes and directly fall into the bottomless abyss of national sinners.

Roberto Baggio became the hero of the whole of Italy because of this crucial penalty, and was crowned the new prince of Italian football in this battle alone.

"This is really a reincarnation!"

Wu Jie couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, but it's a pity that the reincarnation in football is too fast, often only a few years before turning the hourglass upside down and rewriting the spring and autumn.

But in any case, relying on the advantages of the host country and the better young generation, the Italians advanced to the semi-finals without any risk.

On the second day, the media all over the world reported on Cameroon, which shocked the world. Compared with Italy's poor performance, it was really not worth mentioning.

In addition, tonight's match between China and England is naturally the most attractive match, while the match between West Germany and Brazil in the afternoon, which should be rated as a five-star matchup, has not received much attention outside the two participating countries.

This also shows that the situation in world football has indeed changed. The old football powerhouses such as West Germany and Brazil are not only far inferior to China in terms of traffic, but even Cameroon's traffic is not as large these days.

But it's no wonder that everyone is too lazy to watch the games of these veteran football powers. Who made even the "art or death" Samba Army become utilitarian this year.

Not to mention West Germany, the aggressiveness and aggressiveness of the top three European teams with neutrophobia over the years has almost been beaten into a "defensive counterattack" by the Chinese team.

Therefore, the enjoyment of this strong dialogue is really not very good. On the one hand, Brazil, which has become less unrestrained, and on the other hand, West Germany, which is unwilling to take the initiative to attack.

Needless to say, even in regular time, they dare not let go of their hands and feet to fight each other. Facing the "golden ball rule" of sudden death in overtime, the two teams must have stabilized to the end, and finally it was another exciting penalty kick big fight!

At this time, the young German goalkeeper Bodo Ilgner, who dedicated 8 effective saves in the whole game, transformed into the wall of sighs of the Brazilian team and saved the Brazilian's first penalty kick as soon as he came up.

This time, the Brazilian, who was not good at psychological aspects, collapsed on the spot. Another Real Madrid striker, Carreca, was weak in the third free throw. Let Real Madrid become the biggest loser in this World Cup.

"Brother Haonan, the two forwards in your club are too lazy, right?"

"Brother Haonan, why don't you recommend Qin Yi to Real Madrid Club, I think this kid is more reliable than Careca!"

"Haha, no wonder your Real Madrid can't beat me this season. Your two strikers are too old. If you don't update them, I will create a Barcelona dynasty!"

"..."

Lin Yaodong smiled the happiest at this moment, but what he said was true.

Real Madrid's consecutive losses this season are indeed related to the instability of the front line. Hugo Sanchez and Antonio Careca are both 30+ veterans. The state of such a veteran must fluctuate greatly, especially in European wars, he often loses a game and directly G.

"Real Madrid and Barcelona are rotten fish and rotten shrimp. I advise you to focus on the game for a while. Although the English are more stinky, they are not dead after all!"

Ruda's knowledge of Real Madrid and Barcelona is indeed rotten fish and rotten shrimps. Who made the basketball teams of these two clubs have played against his Bayi men's basketball team back then.

As for England today, in the eyes of Lu Daguan, it is basically at the level of dead fish and crabs.

But Ruda's desire to attack is very strong today. This is not because the British girl is very white, but because he doesn't seem to have trampled on England, whether it is basketball or football!

So for such a fresh opponent, the officials of Lu are of course excited!

Chapter 611 This is arrogance based on strength!

Lu Daguan has a fresh feeling for England, but the rest of the Chinese team is already tired of England.

So when I saw the starting list of the Chinese team at night, even the Chinese fans were a little confused!

The starting list of the Chinese team——

Frontcourt: Lu Da (93↑), Wu Sheng (90↑)

中场：任志辉（92↑）、周昊文（90↑）、陈浩南（99＋＋）、周玉容（81↑）、王元麟（91↑）

Backcourt: Wu Jie (99++++++), Zheng Guohong (91↑), Shang Yun (89↑)

Goalkeeper: Lin Yaodong (99++)

When the British saw this starting lineup, he immediately touched his cold and numb scalp.

It's no wonder that their heads are chilling. Wu Sheng's height of 1.94 meters is already considered small in football. As for Lu Da, a guy whose bare feet reach 2.06 meters, he has basically smashed the ceiling of football players. broken.

Therefore, any team seeing the sky-piercing height of the striker combination on the opposite side will probably feel that there is a powerful person holding a gun on top of their head.

But the slots of this set of starters are not only that, why did the aliens go to the backcourt?

"Yeah, why did the aliens play the central defender?"

"Playing as a central defender? Then how can you break the scoring record?"

"Is it a role reversal?"

"..."

The exchange of positions between Wu Jie and Lu Da was completely beyond the expectations of the outside world, and this was a bit of a random rhythm.

Also, how come Zhou Yurong, the rookie No. [-] pick, is also in the starting lineup?

The most damning thing is that you play directly in a 3-5-2 formation. Isn't this too indifferent to the Englishman's long pass?

No, you simply don't treat British people as human beings!

"Who said you can't score goals if you play as a defender?"

Wu Jie's expression at this time is very similar to Tang Bohu in the movie from the original plane. He is going to let people see tonight how a central defender can steal all his tricks!

As for today's 3-5-2 formation, it is true that the British are not regarded as human beings, but who made Lin Yaodong's hundreds of millions of spinach not win yet?

Seeing that his investment was likely to be messed up, this guy simply proposed to split the winning money with Lu Da [-]/[-].

So, Lu Da stood up to support Zhou Yurong's starting!

Now the two bosses wanted to give the youngsters a chance, so Wu Jie made a favor, and even offered to give up the midfield position, suggesting that the two-week team should start together.

But in this way, he has to give full play to his horsepower today, otherwise the three defenders are indeed a bit busy.

"Too busy?" Lin Yaodong was not happy when he heard this, he waved his hand in the pre-match meeting, "All of you press forward boldly, I will kick the doorman again today"!

Chen Haonan said that his balls are very painful. These teammates really don't regard England as human beings. They can pretend to be better than each other. I hope that the golden body of the Chinese team will not be broken tonight.

Of course, he doesn't think his team will overturn. Playing like this will at most easily break the achievement of "winning the championship without conceding a goal". It is also easy for Ruda to be forced to retire after winning. Qualification cost them so much.

At this time, the Englishman on the other side, after seeing the extremely arrogant lineup of the Chinese team, of course, the first time he was furious!

But after jumping twice, the faces of the group of people became more and more ugly, and their faces became paler.

This is because they really don't have the confidence to let the Chinese team pay for their arrogance!

In other words, Chinese football is qualified to ignore English football based on its strength!

This can be seen from the furious England team, who still sent a 5-3-2 defensive lineup after the anger-they really put themselves in an absolutely weak position, which belongs to their own strength. He has an extremely clear understanding of his status.

As for what to do with this bad breath, the British happily chose to endure it!

You didn't expect this!

England's starting XI -

Frontcourt: Gary Lineker (90), Peter Beardsley (87)

Midfielders: David Platt (88), Paul Gascoigne (89), Chris Waddle (86)

后场：斯图尔特·皮尔斯（87）、马克·赖特（86）、史蒂夫·布鲁斯（87）、特里·布彻（86）、李·迪克森（88）

Goalkeeper: Peter Hilton (83)

"Fuck, a striker who got England and can be the core of the whole team actually sits on the bench in the Chinese team!"

At this time, after seeing Yang Shuhua as a substitute, the England fans couldn't help but let out an extremely sour roar after a burst of envy and jealousy!

"Made, why do I feel that the boss is secretly taking advantage of the fisherman?"

Lin Yaodong and Lu Da suddenly thought of something at this moment. Wu Jie's real intention of pushing the boat along the way today is not to take advantage of the situation to directly hold down Yang Shuhua and Wu Sheng, the two biggest rivals competing for the Golden Boot, right?

Although Yang Shuhua is sitting on the bench now, the Serie A Golden Boot will definitely appear in the second half, and Wu Sheng will definitely be replaced at that time.

In this way, the two biggest opponents competing for the Golden Boot can only play half of the game today.

Don't think that Wu Jie is playing a central defender, but no one really thinks that aliens can't wear a hat in the defender position, right?

Doing this can even give people a feeling: Look, I have already gone to play guard, and I have no intention of competing with the younger generation for the golden boot!

At this time, Yang Shuhua and his poor younger brother, how could they have imagined that their boss was not only on the fifth floor, but also on the No.18 floor.

"Boss, long time no see!"

"Boss, we really miss you!"

"Boss, will you go back to Europe?"

"Boss, can you be lighter today!"

"..."

Before this game, the Chinese team finally saw their opponents take the initiative to say hello.

Lineker, Terry, Dixon, and Pratt are all Arsenal players. Although the latter two were just juniors on the bench, the first two were indeed generals under the command of aliens. The hero of the Arsenal dynasty.

Of course, Lineker and Pratt left Arsenal last season, but they certainly remember the glory days that swept across Europe.

"I'm really happy to see you, even though we're going our separate ways, it's the fragments of time that make up the scenes of the past and constitute our common memory. That's really the most glorious corolla of this era! "

Of course Wu Jie couldn't say: "Take it lightly? It's to the north! I'm afraid you will die too peacefully!"

So he simply pretended to be unfathomable and played tricks!

And this set of speech skills against English football players with a generally low level of education is naturally enough to make the opponent stunned and speechless.

After the courtesies were completed, at 7 o'clock in the evening on July 4th, the quarter-finals of the World Cup, which attracted worldwide attention, finally officially started at the "Olympic Stadium in Rome"!

After the Canadian referee blew the whistle to start the game, England kicked off today and decided to try to get ahead.

However, Gascoigne's first breakthrough encountered a hurdle that even Maradona couldn't get through!

Who knows if this is England's most talented midfielder, anyway, in Chen Haonan's eyes, he is far inferior to the 30-year-old Maradona.

Of course Gascoigne knows that Chen Haonan is the No. [-] defensive midfielder in active service, but because League One clubs have not been able to participate in European competitions in recent years, their group of England's new stars have not met the real superstars of other countries. There wasn't much to see in the warm-up match.

Therefore, Gascoigne, who has been praised by the English media, obviously does not have a clear understanding of his own strength, and today he still wants to challenge Chen Haonan, the world's number one midfielder.

Then, I saw Chen Haonan, who had completely predicted Gascoigne's movements, first used the death entanglement, which is famous for the fear of stars all over the world, and seriously interfered with his dribbling. Coyne fell to the ground with the ball.

For such a clean and civilized steal, the referee would not call a foul unless he was blind.

The Canadian referee obviously didn't bring the task to play. After stealing the ball, Chen Haonan caught up and pretended to stab the ball to his teammate, but at the last moment, he tiptoed the ball from Pratt's crotch who was rushing to fight for it.

Pratt also obviously lacks the experience of fighting with real superstars, let alone a top player like Chen Haonan who goes all out.

He never thought that Chen Haonan would play with himself this way at all, and when he reacted, he couldn't hold back the inertia of his body rushing forward.

However, Chen Haonan made an emergency stop to pass the ball and bypassed it. After catching up with the football, he stepped forward with a big foot, and directly accelerated to the hinterland of the English half.
