Chapter 193: No Loopholes?
Italy attaches so much importance to the Chinese team, and even showed an attitude towards Brazil and Argentina, not only because Wu Jie and Chen Haonan are too threatening, but also because they have turned over the car on the Asian team.
In 1966, they were defeated 1-0 by North Korea, which was the biggest upset of the World Cup.
That game made Italy a laughing stock in Europe, so even if they kept 0:0 today, they didn't want to give the Chinese team a chance to beat them.
This is the same idea as the Chinese team, so if Wu Jie's personal performance is removed from this game, it will be an extremely boring + boring game.
Until the end of the first half, the two teams that were determined to fight each other's counterattack, and at the same time could not be counterattacked by the opponent, not only failed to score, but also made many surprising mistakes when counterattacking, the reason is that the two teams must maintain the interception formation in the midfield at any time during the counterattack, and cannot give the opponent the opportunity to push a quick counterattack.
Under this kind of fear, the attacks of both sides cannot pull the line apart, the counterattack efficiency is naturally not high, and the error rate is definitely not low.
But in the 41st minute, Zhu Bo made a fatal mistake at the back!
He originally interrupted Conte's pass to Rossi, but his intention to pass the ball to Chen Haonan was too obvious, and it was also cut off by Oriali.
At this time, the Chinese team's defense has been chaotic, although there are many people in their backfield, but the tacit understanding and linkage are not as good as Italy.
If it is normal, it is nothing, but in the face of such a sudden situation, there is still a situation where two or three people rush to the same position at the same time.
Rossi showed his dexterity as he picked an unmarked route and cut into the box.
Oriali struck a through ball and Italy finally got their most threatening chance of the day, with Rossi and Lin Yaodong forming a one-on-one shot.
Lin Yaodong attacked decisively, but the angle of Rossi's shot was too big.
The Italian older golden boy first used a feint to lure Lin Yaodong to fall to the ground to block, but finally shot with a hanging kick on goal.
No matter how strong Lin Yaodong was, he couldn't do anything, and Italy finally seized the mistake of the Chinese team to complete the goal.
Rossi looked thrilled after scoring the goal, as it was his third goal of the tournament.
Although Wu Jie has 7 goals in his account, as long as he can eliminate the Chinese team and Italy reach the final, he still has three games to play, and he has no chance to catch up with this number.
"After going back this time, Lao Tzu must spend the next four years to build a back line that is even better than Italy."
Wu Jie did not complain about his teammates, which can only be blamed on the fact that two years is not enough time for him to build a satisfactory backline.
Although it was a mistake in the backcourt and the ball was cut off this time, as long as the back line cooperated tacitly, each performed its own duties to make amends, and even as long as someone could interfere with Rossi, Lin Yaodong had a good chance of saving the ball.
However, in the next ten years, China will be in the era of the sports team, and the annual training time of the national team is very long, and he can use four years to build Italy's chain defense first.
As long as this national team has a world-class backline, coupled with the top midfield formed by him and Chen Haonan, it is definitely much better than Italy to play defensive counterattacks at that time.
But that's the next four years and it's a matter of finding a way to equalise now.
"Shall I attack it?"
When Chen Haonan was waiting for kick-off in the midfield, he asked a special question.
"Not for the time being, the Italians' defense can stop me for a while, but they may not be able to stop me for a whole game."
Wu Jie felt that his long-range shot was not a waste of opportunity, and now he was close to a world wave.
Originally, the Brazilian team could break through Italy's door with long-range shots, and even tear apart Italy's backline with two people.
He didn't believe that his long-range shooting ability and breakthrough ability were worse than those of the Brazilian players, and now he was a little less lucky, and a little bit of on-the-spot play.
After the resumption of the game, the tactics of the Italian team remained the same.
Not surprisingly, the Italian's style of play is so practical.
But the Chinese team's style of play has also not changed, which makes people feel strange.
At the end of the first half, Wu Jie once again led two wings to attack the Italian seven-man backline.
After several successive no-misses, the first half went into the final minute of stoppage time.
Wu Jie advanced slowly with the ball in the middle this time, and Marco was 800 meters away from him, and he had no intention of stepping forward to break the ball.
It's not just about respect, it's just about being instigated.
But Marco doesn't feel ashamed at all, those who don't coax have already gone home, and when they should be cowardly, they have to be cowardly, and when they should be obscene, they must be obscene.
At this time, Marco's attitude is very resolute, as long as you dare to attack me, even if you just have this idea, I will immediately call my brother to help.
Wu Jie was also speechless, he just took the ball to the forty-meter area in front of the goal so slowly.
At this time, Kolovati finally followed, and together with Marco, he defended Wu Jie.
At the same time, the Italian cross-linkage began to take place.
The two wings are properly retracted, while preventing the Chinese team from receiving from the wings, and at the same time preventing their two teammates from being passed together, when they will quickly return to the penalty area from the flanks.
But not only did the full-backs begin to retreat, but the left and right midfielders also began to move back, ready to press the Chinese team's attack from different directions.
This kind of defense seems seamless, but even if there are really no flaws, can't I take the initiative to poke a hole in you?
Wu Jie is ready to do this this time, Italy's defense is very cautious, but sometimes it is easy to go wrong if it is too cautious.
Marco and Kolovati fought and retreated, and Wu Jie pressed forward step by step.
Finally, when Wu Jie was about to approach the thirty-meter area, the two had no way to retreat, so they could only surround and force up.
Wu Jie was like his feet were on fire at this time, and he used the inside of his feet to quickly dial the ball during the journey, and the speed was amazing!
But the most amazing thing is that the football was under his left and right, but it did not lose control, and it was still under his control!
This dazzled the two Italians, who didn't dare to break the ball easily, for fear that they would lose their center of gravity and be passed in an instant.
"You're so steady!"
Wu Jie's several consecutive quick dials still did not attract the two to grab, and after the two saw that the situation was not good, they became a defensive position one after the other.
This is to prevent one of them from being passed over, and the latter one can be filled.
Such a stable defense is indeed very different from the painting style of other teams, and Wu Jie can only choose one direction to eat before making a mistake.
Marco reacted a little slower, but Kolovati reacted from behind, hurriedly stuck the route that Wu Jie broke through, and was ready to stop the man with a reasonable charge, at least to delay the teammates behind him.
After Wu Jie passed Marko, he suddenly stopped the ball in front of him in front of Kolovati who was stuck in his forward path, and then quickly crossed and turned before the opponent reacted, and pulled the ball in the direction of the breakthrough with the other foot, instantly passing Kolovati with his trademark "alien gyro".
Kolovati did a lot of calculations, but he still missed Wu Jie's big spinning top, and by the time he reacted, Wu Jie's people were gone.
But these two people can only be regarded as the first line of defense of the Italian team, and Wu Jie has not broken through this line of defense today.
At this time, the Italian defenders, whose names are easily confused, Baresi and Cirea, rushed towards him one after the other.
Baresi chose to go straight up because Wu Jie seemed to lose control of the ball after turning past Kolovati, and he planned to go straight up and destroy the ball.
But he never dreamed that Wu Jie would use the same spinning move again in the face of his grab.
"How is this possible?"
Baresi didn't expect Wu Jie to play him like this at all, so he could only subconsciously break the ball with his foot, but naturally he kicked it in the air, his whole body lost his balance, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment.
This time, the pressure of the Italian team was completely in place, the defensive formation was well maintained, and the cooperation between each other was also tacit.
But in the face of Wu Jie's unpredictable breakthrough, this seemingly seamless line of defense was forcibly torn open by him.
Now the only chance to make up for the hole is the lagging Sirea, otherwise Wu Jie will be driven into the penalty area with the ball, which is a one-on-one knife with the goalkeeper.
Experienced and decisive, he chose to press forward and prepare to take Wu Jie down with a wide-ranging "sweeping leg", which he considered to be the safest defense.
Wu Jie once again made a move that caught Sireya off guard, he grabbed the football with his feet and jumped over the opponent's "sweeping leg".
"Alien Frog Jump!"
At this moment, fans all over the world shouted the name of this skill!
The dribble created by Wu Jie was only used once in the match against the French team, because in the case of preparation, this move is not difficult to prevent and is easy to get injured.
But in the absence of preparation, especially in the case of fouls that are almost impossible to avoid with normal movements, this "frog jump" can have an incredible effect.
Sireya didn't expect Wu Jie to use this action at all, his trick of "sweeping a large area" of sweeping legs, the only loophole is that he can't sweep the upper three roads, and he is naturally cleaned up in an instant.
Now Zov is really going to go head-to-head with Wu Jie, although their two fullbacks have long been closer to the middle, but after all, they still have to keep an eye on Gu Guangming and Shen Xiangfu, and no one can help the forty-year-old goalkeeper at this moment.
"Let the horses ......"
Before the cruel words in Zoff's heart were finished, Wu Jie stepped forward after landing and shot coldly, without the idea of taking a few more steps in.
Such a sudden shot was unpredictable for the experienced Zoff, and the key shot was directed to the top left side of the goal, which had to be stopped with a flying save.
However, Zoff is so old, and he usually relies entirely on "full-level experience" and "god-level position" to guard the goal, and it would be really embarrassing for him to let him fly like a civet cat to save at this time.
The old Zov couldn't make a save at all, he could only watch the football fly into the goal, and the word "come here" could only be kept in his heart forever.
