Chapter 162: On the Fierce Battle
"Hello audience friends, this is the CCTV sports channel for you to broadcast the Sydney Olympics men's football quarterfinals match, the two sides are our national Olympic team and the Italian Olympic team, this is the first time that my country's men's football has advanced to the knockout stage of the world's major events, the boys of the national Olympic team have achieved excellent results in the group stage with their tenacious fighting spirit, they drew 1-1 with Spain in the first game, and then defeated Morocco in the second game, In the end, they stubbornly drew with the Chilean team in the most crucial game, and successfully squeezed out the Chilean team with one win and two draws in three games and advanced to the quarterfinals. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info I believe that fans and friends will be in tears because of that moment, but now we have to wipe away the tears of excitement and cheer for the boys of the National Olympic team in the next game, looking forward to them playing at a high level and style in the game. ”
Entering the knockout stage, a host was added to the broadcast room of the CCTV football game, and Liu Jianhong's usual sensational commentary in the past made many fans very unappetizing, but now no one will definitely think that Liu Jianhong is too sensational, because there are indeed many old fans who cried when the National Olympic team was promoted.
"To be honest, I believe that the feelings of many fans will be very complicated in this game, Italian football can be said to have influenced our generation of fans, from 88 CCTV began to broadcast the highlights of the Serie A game, and then to 92 began to broadcast the game, 94 began to officially broadcast the game, it can be said that there are many fans who have grown up watching the Serie A game. There are a lot of fans who are quite familiar with Italian football, but now I don't think there will be anyone who still supports the Italian team, and I think most of them are very proud of the fact that our Olympic team has officially faced the team we used to admire in the knockout stage of the Olympic Games. ”
I don't know if I was infected, Huang Jianxiang's explanation is also a little sensational today.
"Jianxiang is really right, since we started to go professional in '94, we had a lot of exchanges with Italian teams at that time, and I still remember the match against Sampdoria and AC Milan at the Workers' Stadium in '94."
In CCTV's broadcast room, the three hosts fell into memories of the past, while the Chinese Olympic team was in the final warm-up at the competition venue in Sydney.
Liu Han's words at the previous team's temporary meeting made many people ashamed, the young people in the team still accounted for the majority, although they have experienced some rights and wrongs, but the young people's blood is still there, and it has not been completely rounded by the world, so Liu Han's ruthless words did not make them feel disgusted, on the contrary, many people's hearts rekindled the fighting spirit.
It is undeniable that the strength of this Italian Olympic team is very strong, most of the stars in their team are giants who play in Serie A, the main goalkeeper Abbiati is the starting goalkeeper of AC Milan, and the back line has Juventus and Inter Milan's hopeful stars Makzanci, Ferrari and Cyrillo, and the midfield is full of talent, AC Milan's Gattuso and Ambrosini, Juventus's Zambrotta, Roma's Cristiano Zanetti, Up front, there are Comantini, who has just moved to AC Milan, Andre Pirlo of Inter Milan (Pirlo was only made into a central midfielder after moving to AC Milan in the 01-02 season), and Ventola, the heart of Atalanta's attack.
It can be said that such a Young Guard will be a strong team in any league, not to mention that in the Olympic Games, in the face of such a team, the pressure on the Chinese team is not small.
Horton is still ready to let the team defend in this game, even if the Italian team's forward line is relatively weak, but this is not a team that the Chinese team can delusionally want to attack, the Italian Olympic team under the coaching of Trapattoni has a very strong interception and control ability, not to mention that Italy has always been a team known for its defense, their chain defense is famous all over the world, and rashly attacking the Italian team is likely to make the Chinese team completely passive.
In the players' tunnel, Liu Han walked in the front this time, because with the unanimous consent of the players of the National Olympic team, Liu Han wore the armband of the captain of the National Olympic team, and his tall figure made the Italian stars also look sideways.
The game was still held in the afternoon, and at the same time, in the basketball hall in Sydney, the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Italian men's basketball team officially started.
The game officially began, the Italian team kicked off first, Trapattoni sent a combination of Comantini and Ventola, the formation is a 442 lineup in the middle of the parallel position, facing the weaker Chinese team, the Italian team does not particularly care about the existence of Liu Han.
After the start of the game, the Italian team did not shrink the defensive line, but completely launched a formation to directly attack the Chinese team's defense, and the arrogant Italians did not take the Chinese team in their eyes.
Liu Han stood alone in the back position after wearing the captain's armband today, in order to strengthen the defense, Horton once again put on a 532 formation without hesitation, and Zheng Zhi returned to the back line to increase the defense in the middle.
Although the Italian team deliberately avoided Liu Han's middle to attack from the side, the Chinese team's defense was too thick, because the two full-backs of the Chinese team also completely returned to the backfield to participate in the defense, which made the Italian team feel a little nowhere to talk after the game began.
The players of the Chinese team may be much worse than the Italian stars in terms of personal ability and physical fitness, but their fighting spirit is very tenacious after Liu Han's "education", even if they are passed by the Italian players, they will not be discouraged to chase the defense to the end, which makes the Italian team feel very uncomfortable when attacking, they lack the offensive core in the front court, and the players are basically fighting on their own.
Trapattoni sat firmly on the bench and watched the game quietly, sometimes exchanging words with the assistant coach around him, although the Italian team did not open the situation smoothly at the beginning of the game, but Trapattoni was not worried about this game, even if the Chinese team had Liu Han.
Italy's full-backs deliberately pulled to the side, in order to open up the space for the game as much as possible, the Chinese team's defense is biased towards contraction, and in the face of a turtle-like defense, the Italian team can only think of pulling the Chinese team out to play, otherwise it will be difficult to pose a threat to the Chinese team's goal.
Liu Han didn't make much of a run in the middle, he just stuck Ventola and Comantini in the middle, smothering the connection between the two. (To be continued.) )
