I'm going to get this ball out!

Chinese goalkeeper Zeng Cheng has rarely had such an easy time in his career, as his side have been in the lead for 70 minutes so far, and his opponents have not even had a few threatening shots on goal. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He's got no fitness issues, he's focused and the distance of 25 metres is enough for him to make a decent save, so he's confident.

Maybe...... I can really pounce!

But when Pirlo's free-kick suddenly fell after going around the wall, he was still in the background.

"Oh......" Duan Yixuan let out a sigh, "Zeng Cheng is still a step slower, the direction of Pirlo's free kick is extremely weird, he can't pounce in the right direction at all!" ”

Compared to the ghost arrow of Qin Goode in the first half, Pirlo's free kick is far less powerful and faster, but it is more elusive, because he kicks his trademark defoliating ball: during the acceleration from the ground, the ball barely spins at all, and it looks like it is going straight to the far end of the goal, but after crossing the human wall, it seems to be blown off the track by a sudden gust of wind, and at the same time it accelerates and spins and falls, even if Zeng Cheng has studied Pirlo's free kick video many times and has not been able to make an accurate judgment - Because there is no pattern to find in such a free kick, even the penalty taker himself has no way of predicting how the trajectory of the ball will change.

"Italy finally got one back, and with almost 20 minutes to go, the 2-1 score was not safe at all." He Wei immediately became pessimistic and negative.

Lippi then quickly played his second substitution.

Gao Feilin rested...... Huang Bowen played? Duan Yixuan's mind suddenly couldn't turn, "Huang Bowen is a midfielder, is this going to change to a strikerless formation?" Or push Wu Lei to the front? ”

"No, Wu Lei's body is not suitable for playing as a striker," Zhang Lu immediately denied the idea, "Let's see Lippi's change of formation......"

After coming on the field, Huang Bowen ran in front of Zhao Xuyang and Zheng Zhi, and made a gesture to Zheng Zhi, who nodded and took a few steps back, and then he ran behind Qin Goode and conveyed the latest instructions of the head coach: "Captain, Lippi asked you to play as a striker." ”

With Huang Bowen on the field, the lineup of the Chinese team has changed a lot, and even the two commentators who don't care about tactics have their eyes widened.

"This is ......" Duan Yixuan opened his mouth, "The style of play of the three central defenders?" ”

Zhang Lu observed the picture intently, while slowly analyzing: "Zheng Zhi retreated between Zhang Linpeng and Li Xuepeng, while the two fullbacks Rong Ritian and Sun Jihai were slightly ahead, the distance between them and Yu Hai and Wu Lei, the two full-backs, was closer, and the space in the midfield and backfield was also narrower, the formation of the Chinese team looked like a flat hamburger, if we used our own things to describe it, it was a meat sandwich bun......"

His analogy is very vivid, two slices of bun are the two lines of defense of the Chinese team, and the Giovinco, Balotelli and others in the middle are pieces of meat cut into pieces.

He Wei asked: "Although the two lines of defense seem complete, will they seem too isolated?" Lack of contact with each other? ”

Zhang Lu shook his head: "No...... You see. ”

It was Marchisio's pass, his diagonal pass was quite imaginative, playing a clever time difference, the ball just passed behind him when Zhao Xuyang turned, Balotelli took steps in the direction of the pass, but was cleared by Zheng Zhi from in front of him when he was about to receive the ball.

With this clearance, Zhang Lu explained to the audience this "meat sandwich bun" strategy: "They are not simply standing defense, Zheng Zhi and Zhang Linpeng will choose to attack according to the opponent's offensive direction, as for the two fullbacks, they can move closer to the middle at any time to help assist in defense, as long as the players' physical fitness does not have major problems, and there are no mistakes in cooperation with each other, this lineup can always exert its power." ”

In fact, such a statement is too subjective, whether a tactic or a formation will work, in fact, there are many accidental factors: for example, if the defender's feet suddenly slip in a certain confrontation, the entire defense line will immediately collapse, and if the offensive player slides and actively surrenders the football, then it is an extremely successful defense......

But perhaps Lippi is too familiar with his home team, he anticipated most of the Italian team's attacking methods, and arranged every detail just right before the game, this "meat sandwich" like lineup really did not lose under the Italian attack!

When they were unable to score and equalize, the anxiety gradually permeated the hearts of the Italian players, and the feeling of physical and mental exhaustion increased exponentially, and they also developed a strong sense of unwillingness.

Are you kidding?!

Italy will lose to China?!

We didn't release the water again!

How is this possible!

Known as the brain of the Azzurri, Pirlo is no exception, the 34-year-old is already sweating profusely and panting like a cow after 80 minutes of playing, and his originally ethereal long finds are twisted together one by one, wet on his head, every run seems to drain the oxygen from his lungs, and every long pass makes his waist and hips ache slightly.

He can't run anymore!

Prandelli had no choice but to replace veteran Andrea Pirlo with young striker Al Shaarawy and instructed the team to launch a final attack on the Chinese team.

After Pirlo left the field, Italy's organization was taken over by his midfield partner Marchisio at Juventus, although there was no problem with the physical fitness of "horse performance", but whether it was the national team or the club, he was used to being Pirlo's deputy, so he suddenly handed over the responsibility of organizing the attack to him, and he was really a little overwhelmed......

But there is no one else to deliver except him, De Rossi and Montolivo are also physically bottom, and the one-meter-63 Giovinco completely disappeared into the Chinese team's defense, and the thin body made the "atomic ant" almost fall down at the touch, and the referee was no longer willing to play cards or free throws after getting used to his style.

Italy's attack became more and more chaotic, and in the final minutes, their midfield could almost only rely on long-range shots to challenge the Chinese team's defense, but when there were people interfering at all times, neither Montolivo, Shaarawy, nor Marchisio could threaten the goal behind Zeng Cheng.

In these ten minutes, Qin Goode is the most idle person: as the only striker, he does not need to press as desperately as a midfielder, his task is to stand in front of Chiellini and Bonucci, so that the two strongest players in the Italian team cannot participate in the attack with confidence!

Although Qin Goode did not even touch the ball a few times in the nearly 20 minutes, this did not affect his deterrent effect on Italy in the slightest, he was like a strategic nuclear bomb, and the opponent could never throw him aside and abandon him.

Then he finally had a chance to blast.

In the 87th minute, Giovinco fell again in front of the Chinese team's penalty area, and he was completely defeated in the opponent with Rong Ritian!

"Foul! Red! "Italy's frontcourt players were eager to surround the referee.

But the referee turned and trotted towards the middle circle.

The stunned Italian player turned his head to see that the "culprit" Rong Ritian had already rushed out with the ball in stride!

De Rossi, who was closest to him, was about to sprint, but a sore pain in his inner thigh made him stop immediately - the Roma vice-captain was almost dropped by the manager this past season, and he was ready to prove himself again in the new season, and he could not afford to waste time in his hospital bed because of injury......

So he covered his thighs and limped slowly to the sidelines, and Rong Ritian flashed in front of him like a high-speed train!

Italian right wing-back Abate had to leave his area and pounce on Rong Ritian, who was rushing forward with the ball!

But he was halfway through when he saw the yellow-haired Chinese defender raise his head.

Rong Ritian's gaze swept over him, as if he was just looking at a dead man!

His ankle shook!

A white light swept past Abate! (To be continued.) )
