[Football] Inzaghi couple

I watched Robert run as fast as he could, and then he hugged Philip suddenly. I was very excited, really, to see my beloved brother and husband so happy.

-- "The Autobiography of Maria Baggio"

Inzaghi played for Italy for the first time in the World Cup for only ten minutes. Except for one almost scored, he did not leave any traces, at least he felt so.

For his current trip to the World Cup, Inzaghi is not satisfied, not only because he is not reused by the coach, but also because he feels that his strength is not enough.For this reason, he trains harder and is more willing to ask the seniors in the team for advice, especially those like Baggio who are willing to help young players.And Baggio also likes this young man's eagerness to learn, and is willing to pass on some of his own tips to him. Teaching and learning benefit each other, and the relationship between the two has been shortened a lot. Jealously pulled Inzaghi and yelled for a long time.

The relationship between Baggio and Inzaghi is gradually getting closer. In the second match against Cameroon in the Italian group stage, Inzaghi sat out nine 10 minutes.In the first game, Baggio, who was replaced midway, took the initiative to sit next to Inzaghi after being replaced. On the one hand, he resolved his depression of not being able to play, and on the other hand, he explained the situation on the court and how to deal with the ball.

After the camera scanned the scene of the two whispering to each other several times, many commentators began to joke. It seems that Baggio has found a successor and plans to pass on his experience.There are even people with dark minds making fun of Inzaghi's status as a Juventus player, saying that Baggio hated Juventus for kicking him out because of Del Piero, and planned to train and teach a competitor of Del Piero himself. Let Piero also experience the feeling of being robbed of his position.

Maria didn't watch the live broadcast because she was busy helping Avery, but she decided not to watch the game after she saw the news report.Her brother got the start, but didn't score, and her husband sat on the bench for 10 minutes.Maria absolutely does not admit that she is a fan. She considers herself a fan. Before, she was only a fan of Baggio, but now Inzaghi is added.

When it came to Italy's third group match against Austria, Maria had time to watch the game, but when she saw the starting lineup, her face turned half black.Not surprisingly, her husband sat on the bench again, and this time her elder brother was with him. Baggio also did not start this game.

In the previous two group matches, Italy had one win and one tie with four points, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to qualify smoothly, and if they fail to qualify first in the group, they will meet Brazil in the [-]-to-[-] match .In order to qualify, and to make the road easier after qualifying, Italy can only win this game but not lose.

On the other hand, Austria also has a glimmer of hope to qualify, so they also showed a desperate attitude in this game. The players' movements were extraordinarily rough. From the beginning, everyone felt that this game was not easy for Italy to win. .

Sure enough, he accidentally qualified in the 3rd minute. Nesta dribbled the ball across halftime and was brought down by Austrian player Wolfgang Felsinger at the front of the penalty area.The referee whistled a free kick, but it is a pity that Italy did not seize this opportunity.And after 1 minute, Nesta was injured because of the collision just now and could not persist in the game.The Italian team could only make passive substitutions, replacing Nesta with Bergomi.

"In the opening stage, Italy was forced to use a substitution, which shows the theme of the game. Facing Italy's reinforced concrete defense, Austria will probably use fouls to make a hole. "

Vieri shined in this World Cup, he scored a goal for Italy, and the situation in Italy has improved a lot.However, the head coach Maldini was not satisfied with a goal. He thought about it and replaced Inzaghi in 60 minutes.Although he feels that Chiesa's physical fitness is better than that of Inzaghi, he still admires Inzaghi's attitude in training these days.Maldini feels that if Inzaghi can maintain this attitude, then even if his physical fitness is not outstanding, his future is good.As a coach who has a close relationship with Milan, he even came up with the idea of ​​recommending Inzaghi to Milan. After all, after the Three Musketeers, Milan's recent striker is still somewhat unsatisfactory.

Inzaghi originally thought that he would either sit on the bench for 90 minutes today, or get more than ten minutes of playing time in the end. As a result, he did not expect that the head coach would replace him at 60 minutes. This means that he can actually play 30 minutes of the game.He looked at Baggio sitting next to him in disbelief.

Baggio looked at Inzaghi with some envy: "Behave well." He smiled and blessed Inzaghi.

"Hmm." Inzaghi nodded heavily.

After playing, Inzaghi's performance was very active.He worked hard to play his own technical characteristics, and strive to score a goal for Italy and himself.It's just a pity that after he got the ball once, he faced the goalkeeper but was offside.Seeing the lineman raising the flag, Inzaghi waved his arms angrily.His technical characteristics determine that he either scored like a ghost or was offside. Obviously he was a little unlucky today.

Inzaghi's performance can be said to be a microcosm of the Italian team today, and their shooting sights seem to be a bit off.Finally, the old Maldini made adjustments again. Amidst the cheers of the fans, Baggio, who changed to the number 18 jersey for the World Cup, appeared on the stage.

Even though Baggio is no longer number 10 in Italy, he still cheers up the Italian players on the field as soon as he comes on the field. Perhaps this is the strength of the backbone.

This substitution also had an effect. In the 10th and [-]th minute, Inzaghi made a flash in front of the penalty area and made a wonderful pass. Baggio inserted a push shot into the net at the right time.Even though the Austrian goalkeeper had judged the right direction, he was still a little short.

Although the previous score was 1-0 with Italy leading, this goal can only be said to be icing on the cake.But Baggio, who scored the goal, was still very excited. He already had a premonition that his chances of scoring goals for the national team were getting less and less, so he cherished every goal he scored for the national team.Baggio clenched his fists and screamed heartily.The melancholy prince doesn't always have a melancholy face, and there are times when his eyes are ferocious.

Also very excited is Inzaghi, Baggio is his idol, but the two of them are not teammates in the same club, so the only chance to fight side by side is in the national team.And his position in the national team is not stable, he is not sure if he will have the next chance to play with Baggio.So this time he was able to play with Baggio and also contributed an assist that turned into a goal for him, which made Inzaghi very excited.

At this time, when he was young, he didn't have so many scruples, so he got carried away for a moment and did something that he might never dare to do in a few years. He jumped on Baggio's back, and on Baggio's back Waving his arms vigorously.

Baggio didn't think there was any shame in carrying a young player on his back, and he was very grateful for Inzaghi's assist, so he was excited to celebrate with Inzaghi on his back.The scene of the two of them celebrating was photographed by sports reporters from various countries and frozen in the form of photos.A few years later, this photo of "the brother-in-law carrying the brother-in-law on his back" or "the brother-in-law riding on the head of the brother-in-law outrageously" will always be turned over when talking about these two stars and their relationship. Come out and say something.

Of course, the two people who are still celebrating at this moment don't know the hidden relationship between them, but Maria, who was watching this scene, almost shed tears when she saw this scene.

She doesn't like to cry, but seeing her two favorite men so excited, she is still happy for them, and also very excited.Maria knows how hard these two men have worked for this moment, and her brother Baggio has worked hard for two years to return to the national team.And Inzaghi has been working hard. Maria often hears from her phone chat with Inzaghi that the other party mentions how much training he has added today and what special training he has done.Think about Inzaghi's envy every time she heard her mentioning what food she ate, but she could only hold a plate of tasteless pasta to eat. Maria's tears just flowed down, and even the TV screen became blurred.

When Maria was busy with excitement, Austria scored a goal when Italy was a little slack, which can be regarded as regaining face.However, this has not affected Italy's qualifying situation. They qualified first in the group and successfully avoided the No.1 Brazil team in another group.Then they beat the Norwegian team by one goal in the [-]-to-[-] game, but they will face the host France in the next game.

France has the advantage of being the host country, has the support of many fans, and has many excellent players such as Zidane and Henry. Even though their record in the World Cup finals is not as good as Italy, under the right time, place and people, this game will be played The situation is also unpredictable.Many people regard this game and the upcoming match between the Netherlands and Argentina as two focus games.

On the day of the game, at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, the match between Italy in classic blue jerseys and France in white jerseys is about to start.

When the starting players of the two teams lined up, the camera scanned the benches of the two teams from time to time, especially the Italian bench.In the game against Austria, Nesta was injured and later confirmed that he could not play. He has been sitting on the bench in the knockout stage to cheer for his teammates.Of course, the focus of the cameras in various countries is not him, but Baggio, who once again sat on the bench.

From the gradual reduction of Baggio's playing time, from starting to substitute, the general view of the outside world is that the old Maldini is gradually reducing Baggio's influence on the Italian national team and is gradually supporting the new core of Italy.Del Piero wearing the No. 10 jersey in this World Cup can be regarded as evidence, but many people think that the performance of the new Italian No. 10 is not very convincing, at least so far he has not scored a goal. Enter.

"I think it would be better to go to Roberto Baggio for this crucial knockout match. At least judging from the current matches that Del Piero has played for the Italian national team, his performance has not played the role of a pinnacle."

While listening to the commentary on TV, Maria frowned at the scene that just flashed on the screen. Her brother and her husband were sitting next to each other on the bench again.It seemed that the two of them got along very well, but Maria hoped that the two of them could appear on the court together, even if they were sweating profusely from running at that time and made their faces look grim.

"I hope they all have a chance to play." Maria secretly prayed while watching the game.
