Seeing Chiesa on the pitch, Del Piero and Inzaghi collapsed directly in their chairs.

Inzaghi is 25 years old and Piero is 24 years old, both of whom are making their World Cup debuts for Italy.

But at this moment, they are all looking at the 21-year-old Ou Chuliang from afar. They all want to play and score goals for Italy.

In Serie A, they had already faced Ouchulian once, but they didn't take their chances. When they came to the World Cup, looking at the "strange and familiar" face, they suddenly regretted it.

If he scores a goal for Ouchulian in the league, will the last substitution spot for the old Maldini be given to him when he comes to the World Cup?

At this moment, both Inzaghi and Piero fell into deep chagrin.

Inzaghi, in particular, felt that a lot of opportunities had been wasted by his teammates on the pitch.

It's not that attacking players such as Baggio and Vieri are incompetent, but he feels that he has the confidence to fight for the ball many times on the field for the second time.

Even if you make up one, the score at this time is not 0-0.

But in star-studded Italy, both he Inzaghi and Prince Piero of the Zebras are behind the more famous and capable others.

In fact, although Chiesa, as an attacking agent, was sent on the field by Maldini Sr. for the third. But if it weren't for the edema of the Pulsatilla Lavanelli, Chiesa would not have been able to come to France.

In the forward line, Maldini Sr. abandoned the somewhat injured Zola and Casirazi, although it is a pity, but it is also imaginable. Just like in '94 Sacchi didn't choose Mancini and Vialli.

If it is more suitable to deal with a Chinese team like today, high school striker Ravanelli is the most suitable.

His powerful impact, fluctuating grabbing, and even a long-range shot. His slow speed and clumsy weaknesses can be infinitely reduced in positional battles, while his fluctuating movement in a small area and the characteristics of a stumbling center forward are the most suitable for dealing with a weak and defensive team like the Chinese team.

However, Maldini Sr.'s tactical requirement is speed, which is the same as Sacchi.

Because Italy has always regarded the world's strongest teams such as Brazil, Argentina and Germany as opponents, players who can play a speed advantage in defensive counterattacks are Italy's first choice.

In this way, in the face of a defensive team like the Chinese team, which makes Italy have to play positional warfare and attack, the old Maldini is distressed.

After thinking about it, it is better to send the more comprehensive, more mature and stable Chiesa to play the position of nine and a half.

In the club, since Chiesa went to Parma, he has been asked not to be just a fast striker, but to work part-time as a number nine and a half, and even Parma's set-pieces have been transferred to him from Dinobaggio's feet!

However, Chiesa's position has not changed well, his goal rate has dropped, and his new position has not been as comfortable as he was in a pure striker role.

At the same time, the position of the national team is unstable, and he was used in the last three draws of the qualifiers, but unfortunately his poor performance made him not have a good image in the hearts of the coach.

Of course, his personal qualifications are still selected capital, which is why the elder Maldini sent him to play the trident against Baggio and Vieri.

More than 70 minutes into the game, Italy have not opened up the situation. As time went on, the Italian players started to get a little angry.

Baggio and Vieri, in particular, have already been eyed by the Chinese near the penalty line.

Unsuccessful breakthrough? Anti-robbery!

A pass intercepted? Anti-robbery!

Shot blocked? Anti-robbery!

In short, the Italians launched a counter-attack on the ground when the attack was unsuccessful, grabbed the ball and continued to attack.

This is not the tactic requested by the elder Maldini, nor is it a way for the strikers to protect the backfield and prevent the Chinese team from defending and counterattacking. It's more like a recklessness back to barbarism, using strong individual strength to form a small circle and bombing a certain position of the Chinese team like a storm, leaving the defenders exhausted.

In general, Italy's first battle must not be given up so easily.

The Chinese team has almost used all its capabilities, and it is placed there, and people all over the world have seen it.

There is so much ability, so much strength, more and no, less and less.

Stick here like a piece of kraft candy, see what you can do to me!

In this way, it is the Italians who are embarrassed.

In the third minute, Chiesa had a chance.

Zhang Jihua's clearance hit Qi Hong's sideline, and it bounced to the door.

It just so happened that Chiesa was in this position, he grabbed the rapid tackle in front of General Fan and stabbed his foot, the ball dodged Ou Chuliang's fingertips, and slowly rolled out of the bottom line by grazing the far post.

Chiesa clenched his forehead, disappointment written across his face.

In the 76th minute, the opportunity came again.

Vieri controlled the ball in the Chinese team's penalty area and started a "struggle" with General Fan, Vieri stepped on the ball with his back to the goal, General Fan was stuck behind him, and no one could help anyone for a while.

Under Zhang Jihua's pinch, the ball hit General Fan's leg and bounced towards the middle.

Baggio wanted to chase the ball, but Chiesa had already stepped forward. Decisive win volley, this time, the ball is deflected wide again!

Missed two chances in a row to Chiesa's chagrin. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is also an opportunity that Chiesa has only had after he has come on the field.

Appearing in the last kick in a row, does this mean that Italy is going to score?

As a result, not only the players, but also the thousands of Italian fans at the scene stood up excitedly and waited for the moment when the goal appeared.

It stands to reason that opportunities do belong to those who are diligent and full of faith.

Just two minutes later, in the 78th minute, it was again an aggressive rush from Chiesa.

At the moment when Dino Baggio got the ball, there was a huge gap between the two central defenders of the Chinese team.

Chiesa accelerated like a rocket suddenly, breaking through this choke-like key position in an instant,

In the next second, Dino Baggio's pass came as promised, and Italy's first single knife of the game finally appeared!

At this moment, the defenders of the Chinese team have given up on defense.

But Chiesa still has Occhulian in front of him!

At the same time, Vieri was outflanked to the other side.

The quality of Italy's top stars is on full display at this moment, even if their teammates have a good chance to score, they have to keep up and cover for their teammates.

But Chiesa did not choose to pass the ball, but chose to continue to dribble.

"What is he going to do?"

At this moment, a question mark appeared in the minds of fans all over the world.

"He's going to get past the goalkeeper!"

Moratti reacted suddenly.

He remembered Ronaldo's words: If you want to score in China Ou, it is better to bring the ball behind him!

In the face of Ouchulian, Chiesa chose the "safest" way to score.

But can he do it?

All 36,000 fans at Delmar Stadium held their breath and all watched the stadium.

Chiesa is fast and has a clean foot.

Facing the attacking Ou Chuliang, he twisted his left foot lightly and made a move that pretended to pass the ball to Vieri.

But Ouchulian's center of gravity was low, and Chiesa did not succeed.

Taking advantage of the moment, Acchulian pounced as fast as he could, trying to knock the ball away from his feet.

But Chiesa is not a person to be messed with, and when he saw that he didn't shake Ou Chuliang away, he quickly followed with his right foot.

There's no control over the force, and there's not even the angle. The purpose is to be fast, one step faster than Ou Chuliang, and touch the ball first.

He did it!

Chiesa's right toe hit the ball behind the ball in a forward lunge, and the ball suddenly accelerated. Even if Ou Chuliang's fingertips arrived in the next second, he was still a step too slow.

The ball ran past Ou Chuliang's fingertips like a wild horse off the leash.

Although he avoided Ouchuliang, Chiesa's kick was also very difficult.

Seeing that the rapidly rolling ball was about to go out of bounds, Chiesa quickly accelerated again and rushed towards the ball.

"Chiesa flickered..."

"A touch and a belt..."

"Rushed over!"

Even if his heart was dripping blood, Huang Jianxiang had to announce this regrettable fact to fans around the world.

Ou Chuliang straightened his arm and fell into the corner of the small penalty area, only to watch Chiesa pass by with the ball.

Seeing Chiesa catch up with the ball in front of the baseline, as he tried to adjust his body and balance, a red figure suddenly came out.

Sun Jihai?!

"It's Sun Jihai!"

Huang Jianxiang shouted.

At the critical moment, only Son Jihai came out of the crowd and blocked between Chiesa and the goal.

OMG!

Is he going to stage a solo ride on the Savior?

Sun Jihai sprinted over, watching Chiesa's swinging legs, intending to push at a zero-degree angle. He didn't think much about it in his head, and he didn't have time to think about it.

Rush to the last step and hit a flying tackle, just like you did when you saved the ball on the wing!

There is no such thing as a bet or a bet, because this is the knee-jerk reaction of a footballer in the first place.

A defender, facing the opponent's feet, can only fly to block the eye.

Seeing Sun Jihai sliding and shoveling, Chiesa's raised right leg was lowered again, and he tapped lightly on the ball, as if he wanted to pull back.

But soon, he found that he had underestimated Sun Jihai's determination to break the shovel, and he had also miscalculated the distance between the two.

This time, Chiesa has no time to make any adjustments.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound on the bottom line, and the ball was shoveled out of the bottom line by Sun Jihai's black leather feet.

Immediately afterwards, with a scream, Chiesa's whole body leaned forward and fell on Sun Jihai.

"Beep !!"

In less than a second, Delmar Stadium was in a state of noise.

"Referee!"

"Referee!"

The blue, red, and purple sides immediately surrounded the referee from Niger and said everything they wanted.

"Referee, they fouled in the box, it's a penalty, a penalty!"

"No, referee, it's not a foul, our players obviously touched the ball first!"

China and Italy vehemently argued and refused to give in to each other.

Ou Chuliang, as a Chinese player with the best foreign language, although he still stood in front of the referee, his heart fell to the bottom at this time.

The referee blows the whistle and points straight to the penalty area. This... Oh no!

That's right, the referee blew the whistle and pointed directly to the penalty spot, which also showed his position.

So no matter how the Chinese players blocked, the referee still rushed through the crowd to Sun Jihai and showed a red card above his head.

"Oh my God, it's a red card!" Huang Jianxiang was so surprised that he could stuff a duck egg into his mouth.

How can it be a red card?

Huang Jianxiang didn't say this sentence, as an on-site commentator, he definitely couldn't say such a low-grade question.

In fact, he also knows that malicious tackles in the penalty area are fouls, and a proper red dot package.

It's just that he was expecting a yellow card until the red card was revealed.

Now, the dream has been shattered, and the luck of all Chinese fans has come to naught.

Sun Jihai stared blankly at the red card above his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

Until the referee wrote Sun Jihai's number behind the red card and retracted the sign into his jacket pocket, Sun Jihai still stood in place without any movement.

Seeing this, the referee just wanted to remind Sun Jihai to face this cruel fact. But in the next second, a black arm straddled Sun Jihai's neck.

Ou Chuliang put his arms around Sun Jihai's neck and led him all the way to the sidelines.

There was Rad's kind gaze, and there was also Qi Miaosheng's stern face.

"Jihai, look, the coaches are waiting for you!" Ou Chuliang said casually.

"I'm going home, am I?" Sun Jihai, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

A red card was issued and a two-match ban was given.

In other words, if the Chinese team does not qualify for the group stage, then this red card does mean "going home" for Sun Jihai.

"Isn't it good to go home? Home is a haven from the wind, and there are loved ones there! Ou Chuliang followed Sun Jihai's words and continued.

"But I don't want to go home like this! Coming home shouldn't be like this! Sun Jihai raised his head and looked at Ou Chuliang miserably. The corners of his mouth turned up, but he couldn't, and he kept swinging back and forth between upturned and down.

"It's not a big deal, isn't there still your brother Ou?" Ou Chuliang smiled, pressed the back of Sun Jihai's head, and pushed forward, "Don't worry, Brother Ou promises you, the World Cup is not over for you yet!" ”

Sun Jihai was careless and was pushed by Ou Chuliang. By the time he was steady, Ou Chuliang had already turned around and walked towards the goal.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return.

Looking at Ou Chuliang's dashing back, Sun Jihai couldn't hold back any longer, the corners of his mouth bent, and two lines of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes unconsciously.

He really wanted to ask Ou Chuliang if he was talking about this World Cup.

Seeing Sun Jihai's appearance, Qi Miaosheng didn't know what to say.

He draped the long-sleeved jersey over Sun Jihai's shoulders and helped him walk towards the players' tunnel.

"Jihai, it's okay, don't cry." Qi Caosheng persuaded softly, "Men don't flick when they have tears, your parents are also watching you in front of the TV!" ”

It was okay, but when he heard Qi mistakenly mention his parents, Sun Jihai couldn't hold back for a moment, his mouth opened, and he cried out with a "uh".

But in the next second, he hurriedly closed his mouth and wiped his face with the cloth on his shoulder, just like he wiped sweat during the game.

The fans in the stands all looked at the young man, who was only 21 years old, and everyone knew that this time he was not wiping sweat, but tears.

"Daddy, Daddy, that big brother is crying!" In the stands, a four- or five-year-old fan pulled the corner of his father's coat and shouted loudly.

In the child's immature heart, he didn't understand why Sun Jihai was crying at this time.

The child's father hugged his son, turned his face away from the court, and kept stroking his back.

"Son, you are still young, you will know when you grow up."

As he spoke, he was also wiping the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, and then clapped his hands together with tens of millions of Chinese fans.

Sun Jihai is good, his performance in the whole game is worthy of this red card!

At the direction of the referee, players from both sides were driven out of the penalty area. Only Robert in the number 18 jersey remains. Baggio stood in front of the penalty spot, pinching his waist and watching Ou Chuliang step by step into the penalty area.

"In the 82nd minute of the game, Chinese defender Sun Jihai fouled in the penalty area and was sent off with a red card, and Italy won a penalty." Huang Jianxiang's voice was low and serious, and the passion that lasted for most of the half came to naught, as if it had never existed.

At this moment, he prayed for the Chinese team from the bottom of his heart with tens of millions of Chinese fans.
