Football red and black years

The 2004 European edition was held in Portugal. The Portuguese Football Association, which has the golden generation of Portugal, even invited the World Cup champion coach Scolari in order to win the championship locally.Scolari used the Champions League runner-up Porto as his team, and then filled in Figo, Rui Costa, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc. who played for European giants as the main force.

Portugal hopes to take advantage of the host country to win the championship, while Italy, the last runner-up, uses Milan, the champion of the Champions League this time, as a team, and then added Totti, Vieri, De Rossi, Del Piero... a group of powerful players. The main players who lost to Milan.Also as the favorite to win the championship!

June 2004, 6, Guimarães, Portugal.

Here will be held the first round of Group C, Italy vs Denmark.

In the 1992 European Cup, Denmark led by Schmeichel once staged a Danish fairy tale, but the fairy tale is only a fairy tale after all. Many people are still willing to believe that Italy, a traditional powerhouse, can win its first victory.

In the Enrique Stadium, the main stadium of the Portuguese First Division club Guimaraes, the appearance of the stadium is very ornamental. From the appearance, the Enrique Stadium complements the nearby castle buildings and becomes a large viewing area nearby. .

Scarlett, Nancy and Ryderhurt, who were watching the game in a group, didn't even know why Scrange and Howard, who suddenly ran over, managed to watch the game in a pretty good place.

"What do you think about the prospect of Italy in this game?" Nancy asked looking at the flyer in her hand.The above is the starting list announced by Trapattoni before the game, but from the starting list, Trapattoni intends to rest the main players in this game.

Today Italy is playing in a 4231 formation. Buffon has no problem as a goalkeeper. Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro, and Zambrotta are on the back.

The midfielder consists of Zanetti and Perotta partnering in the midfielder, Camoranesi, Totti and Del Piero form an offensive frontcourt, and Vieri serves as the attacking single arrow.

"Trapattoni brought Nedved? Does this play mean that the disconnect between the frontcourt and the backcourt is not strong enough?" Ryder Hurt's complaint skills are still strong.

Against Denmark, it is not a problem for the thin Inzaghi not to collide with the Nordic strongmen, but not Pirlo?How confident is Trapattoni in Piero and Totti's organizational skills?

Piero and Totti are both offensive frontcourts. Although they both have organizational skills, their organizational skills are a heck compared to Pirlo.And these two people who are still rivals in the club and can't play a few games a year in the national team organize together?That effect may be 1+1<0.5

In fact, Ledhurt's complaints were completely correct. In the first half, relying on the defense of the double defensive midfielder and the defense of the four defenders and Buffon's high catch and low block to keep the goal, but the frontcourt offense was completely unstructured.

Vieri is threatening, but the actual role he played is very small after the feeding of the cake is not strong.The dual core of Piero and Totti is a disastrous choice, and they don't know what they are playing.

Until the intermission, the two sides and the battle became 0-0.

"Italy needs to withdraw one of the three front midfielders if they want to win this game, and replace Pirlo, who is good at organizing, to dispatch and command, otherwise the attackers in front have no idea what they are doing." Howard watched the first half of the game. He frowned later and said.

"It is necessary to replace Pirlo. Bulgaria has already lost 3-0 against Sweden. It is estimated that the gap in goal difference will expand. If this game cannot be won, Sweden's goal difference advantage will be very obvious. At that time, Sweden and Denmark are very likely to join forces to destroy Italy!" Scarlett said while looking at the real-time battle report on her mobile phone.

These two have criminal records. In the 96 European Cup, Denmark and Sweden teamed up to defeat Italy through a tacit ball.

Obviously, Trapattoni's memory is not bad, remembering the European Cup in 96.Camoranesi was replaced at half-time and Pirlo was replaced.

Totti and Del Piero moved forward to form a striker with Vieri, and the formation became 433.

After Pirlo played in the second half, Italy's organizational offense improved significantly, but the first three still failed to score a goal, as if they collectively forgot to bring their shooting boots.

Trapattoni frowned, Vieri is actually good, the quality of his shots is quite high, but today when the Danish goalkeeper faced Vieri, it was like Schmeichel possessed.Piero and Totti kept wasting opportunities.

In the 62nd minute, after Totti was violated and fell to the ground, the team doctor came in and gestured to Trapattoni. Trapattoni replaced Totti with De Rossi and Pierre with Inzaghi. Ro.

Italy changed again into 4312

Seeing this change, many commentators became excited.Milan has relied on this tactic for several years to win the Triple Crown. If Italy insists on using this formation, does it also mean that they can reach the final all the way and even win the championship?

After the change, De Rossi, who was still tender like a fresh meat bun, kept attacking the Danish defense line. Vieri also showed the essence of his Italian tank center.

After a Maldini interception from the backcourt, a cross pass to Pirlo, Pirlo dribbled the ball across the middle circle under the cover of Zanetti, and passed the ball to De Rossi before the opponent came up to press.

De Rossi broke through with the ball and made a two-for-one cooperation with Vieri, and then Vieri kicked a fake shot and passed it to Inzaghi.At this time, the Danish goal was pulled out of the neutral position. After receiving the ball, Inzaghi succeeded in anti-offside, passing the Danish goalkeeper and pushing the empty goal directly.

Italy leads 1-0.

Seeing this scene, the Italian commentator and his partner invariably brought the topic to Milan's version of Italian tactics.

The commentators directly explained this: If Vieri is replaced by Shevchenko and De Rossi is replaced by Kaka, then this is Milan's frightening front trident.

The fans in the stands celebrated with excitement that Milan can win the Champions League with the SKI combination and write history.Then the Italian national team should also be able to win with the WDI combination with almost the same strength!

In fact, it is true, it is still a familiar tactic, Zambrotta steals the ball, Pirlo organizes the attack, De Rossi breaks through with the ball, but this time it is Inzaghi who makes the cake, and Vieri raises his foot at the front of the penalty area. shot, the high-speed spinning ball crashed into the net, and the buff bonus of the Danish goalkeeper has been used up at this time!

Italy eventually won 2-0.

The first match was won and the Italians were once again the favourites.The defense Maldini is old and strong; Cannavaro, Nesta, and Buffon are in their prime, and Zambrotta is also not far behind.

The core of the organization Pirlo played perfectly, and the double defensive midfielder was strong in defense.The new generation of De Rossi performed brilliantly, and Vieri Inzaghi's combination is not inferior to Milan's SI.

Italy will face Viking Sweden after winning their first group match.In the last battle against Bulgaria, Italy has a high probability of winning and can be used for training. Then this battle must be won, and the main players will be rested in the final battle to prepare for the knockout round!

In the Second World War in Sweden, Trapattoni's combination was also 4312.The goalkeeper is Buffon, and the back four is Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta and Panucci.For the sake of tacit understanding, the three midfielders are served by Gattuso, Pirlo, and Ambrosini.De Rossi served as the attacking midfielder, and Vieri and Inzaghi partnered up front.

In fact, Totti was not fully recovered from his injury in the league. He was violated again in the last game and the old injury recurred.The conclusion given by the team doctor is that if he is forced to play, once the old injury recurs, he can go back to China directly for treatment!

And Piero...

Trapattoni thought for a long time and decided to play De Rossi, who performed well in the last game. After all, the Cuju circle sometimes believes in metaphysics.

When the game started, Totti sat on the bench holding his mouth. Well, it is normal for him to be injured and unable to play, but he still wants to play!And since the guy who walked his dog with him since he was eight years old has been ignoring him less and less since he went to Milan.

The wolf prince who was neglected by his own bamboo horse is about to be wronged and turned into a husky at this time!You know, even when he looked to his bamboo horse for comfort before going on stage, his bamboo horse didn't pay him much attention, and talked to Ma Damiao completely on his own!

But Totti didn't dare to go up to Maldini. After all, last time he was stupid enough to provoke Paul Maine Mew Handsome Maldini into Paul Tiger Handsome Maldini.

Before going on the field, Nesta naturally knew that the idiot was looking at him, but he just didn't want to talk to him.That idiot is randomly switching between wolves and huskies, and the guy is a husky based on our years of experience.

So the silly wolf who was left out by his own bamboo horse and couldn't play became more and more aggrieved.No, the big man of 1.8 meters will shrink into a ball!

Del Piero looked at the guy next to him speechlessly. He was just injured and couldn't play. If he performed well in the last game of the group stage, the head coach of the knockout round would give Totti a chance for experience considerations!

And being replaced in the last game meant that he lost his main position in the national team.

In 2004, Juventus lost all four teams and he did not play a leading role. Juventus withdrew from the championship just after the winter break.Immediately afterwards, the Champions League fell to the top sixteen.Then there was Milan's lore in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

Although Italy does not have the tradition of infighting like the Netherlands and Argentina, the strength of the club is still linked to the national team

Juventus' performance this year has been a disaster, while Milan has been crowned the treble.The head coach is naturally more willing to choose the members of the Milan department as the main force when the members of the Milan department also account for a large proportion of the national team.Other players who fill in must choose to be more adaptable to the Milan system.

After the start of the game, both sides fought in the midfield. Panucci froze the Swedish Flying Fish Ljungberg on the right. The joint marking of Cannavaro and Nesta also made Sweden's new generation of striker leader high center Zlatan Ibrahimo Vicky felt sick all over.Maldini locked the town on the left, making it difficult for Sweden to do anything on the wing.

Although Ibrahimovic avoided Cannavaro who was grabbing in an attack, his center of gravity was unstable and the ball was intercepted by Nesta.

After Nesta stole the ball and handed it to Pirlo, Ambrosini and Gattuso joined forces to protect Pirlo, the "soft" guy, to 30 meters in the Swedish half.

After receiving the ball, De Rossi broke through with the ball. With his tank-like body, Vieri squeezed away the Nordic strongmen to cover De Rossi and brought the ball to the opponent's small penalty area.

Facing the pressure from the Nordic strongman, De Rossi did not miss it, and directly raised his foot to shoot. Although the ball was hit by the Swedish goalkeeper with a boxing action, Inzaghi who appeared "in time" stabbed the ball back into the net.

Yidali leads 1-0.

After taking the lead, the two sides continued to fight in the midfield. Trapattoni watched the players who were knocked off their feet by the Nordic strongmen replaced Inzaghi with the relatively strong Cassano.

Like De Rossi, Cassano is a rookie in Rome. This year, Cassano's performance is equally impressive, so he also got a ticket to Portugal.

This substitution also had an effect. Pirlo made a straight pass from the right sideline, and Panucci rushed near the bottom line, and then dunked Ljungberg with his right foot to return the tackle, and then tricked Edman, who stepped forward to defend, in the same way. , Near the corner of the penalty area, a left-footed pass to the goal, Cassano leaned over 6 meters in front of the goal and headed the ball into the far corner.

Italy leads by two goals, as long as the defense is strong in the remaining time, there will be no worries about qualifying.

But a rather classic goal happened in the 85th minute, with Buffon, a world-class goalkeeper, serving as the backdrop.

Sweden took a corner kick on the left. After two scorpions swayed their tails, there was chaos in front of the Italian goal. Ibrahimovic broke out from it. With his back to the goal, an upside-down golden hook crossed Vieri and Buffon who defended and scored the ball.

But in the end Italy still won the game 2-1.

Italy, which has won both games, can already be sure of qualifying early. In the final round of the group stage, all the main players were rested, and even the captain's armband was worn on Zambrotta's arm.

In this game, Cassano and Perotta scored a goal respectively, and Del Piero sent an assist.Totti's performance is also very impressive, although he is still depressed that his bamboo horse ignores his own affairs.

Piero's recovery made Trapattoni nodded in satisfaction. It is always good to have more cards in his hand, and no one would dislike having more choices!

Sweden and Denmark drew 2-2, but Denmark went home because of a small goal difference.
