It was in 1989 that CCTV began to broadcast video footage of Serie A matches every weekend, and then broadcast the 1990 World Cup in Italy live. Since then, CCTV's live broadcast of Serie A has not stopped. It was the most flowery era of Serie A, known as the 'Little World Cup', and the Apennines brought together the best stars in the world.

Serie A's popularity in China has lasted for 20 years now, and it is still there. Although CCTV later added live broadcasts of the Bundesliga and La Liga, and local TV stations also had the Premier League, Serie A was still the most respected league by Chinese fans, and it was far ahead.

With Serie A broadcasting, China has seen a large number of fans in the modern sense, who have flourished since the post-70s. Therefore, from this point of view, China's football heritage is really pitiful, and the folk football culture has not yet been formed. Such a short period is actually in line with the consistent record of Chinese football.

Because of the influence of Serie A broadcasting, the young generation now generally has feelings for Serie A, and is even full of awe. This is true for the fans, and it is also true for the national team players. Now standing in front of the Italian national team, the Chinese players obviously show restraint and solemnity, and they are not frightened by the Italians, but their great respect is obvious.

Zhuo Yang and the Italian players are generally friendly, but they are not in awe, because Zhuo Yang has bullied them there for three years, and it is they who should be feared. But the teammates are not Zhuo Yang, and they don't have his experience and arrogance of laughing at the Apennines.

A few days ago, North Korea lost 0:7 to Portugal, and too much respect for the opponent was one of the reasons for the defeat, and the fouls in the whole game were far lower than the opponent. Perhaps they were instructed to play in the so-called 'spirit' of the World Cup, that they could lose but not lose, so they tied the hands and feet of the North Korean players. But fouls are an absolutely indispensable part of the game of football, especially tactical fouls have become an integral part of technical tactics.

The so-called respect means that you are respected verbally and psychologically, but when it comes to action, no one is fucking three-headed and six-armed, and no one is scared.

If it was another team, in order to change the excessive respect of his teammates, Zhuo Yang would find an opportunity to cause some trouble and kill the prestige of the opponent, so that the blood of his teammates would boil. But in the face of Italy, it is not good, there are too many acquaintances and many good friends, so it is too unsophisticated.

Therefore, ridiculing and smashing to make the atmosphere happy became the only choice. It's all laughing like this dog, who respects whom!

Zhuo Yang hugged Gattuso's waist from behind, pressed him to the ground and couldn't get up, Jiaojiao came over to press Zhuo Yang again, it seemed that he wanted to stack Arhats, and the player tunnel became Happy Valley. South African referee Jerm Damon led his referee team out and grinned as he grinned at the lighthearted and festive scene.

Until the national anthem was played and the group photo was over, the fans on both sides of the Mbobella Stadium were still wondering: Why are they smiling today, isn't it a battle of life and death? So, they blew Vuvuzula even harder.

Seven years later, in 2017, Francisco Totti announced his retirement in Rome. On that day, the 34-year-old De Rossi cried, not because he was reluctant to let Totti go, but because his 12-year career as a team reserve finally came to an end, but his temples were already slightly frosted.

Danielle De Rossi is an excellent midfielder who can be promoted to play as a shadow striker or drop back as a libero at the back. However, in his 12-year career as a team reserve, neither his charisma, nor his status, nor his football ability itself, has not shaken Totti, even as he gets older.

Even in the two years since Totti's retirement, De Rossi has failed to become the undisputed heart of the Roma stadium, and in the summer of 2019, it was heard that he had gone to Boca, Argentina. Therefore, from these aspects, his excellence in the midfield back then was actually discounted.

June 24, 2010 was an unforgettable day for De Rossi, as he played a prelude to the mourning for Italy in the Mbobella Stadium and in the life-and-death battle against China in the group stage of the World Cup.

In the 25th minute of the first half, the Chinese team, which had been helpless against the Italian defense, finally found a good opportunity, but Li Jinyu's dribble on the line of the big penalty area mixed garlic by himself, and the football rolled to the feet of the retreating De Rossi.

Counter-attacking is a football DNA engraved in the Italians' bones, and in an instant they opened the net in every corner. Zhuo Yang desperately leaned towards the second brother of Meng, the core of Italy, which was the only effort he could do at this time.

Seeing that Meng Er was not suitable, De Rossi chose to push the football to Gattuso, who was only five meters away in front of him, and the football rolled soothing and comfortable.

Suddenly, from behind Gattuso out of a white suit, Li Tie bravely chose to rush up with an arrow, and after passing shoulders with Gattuso, who didn't know it, Tiezi poked the football out with his right foot, and went to Zhuo Yang, who was not far away.

Zhuo Yang stood on one leg and used an extremely awkward posture to nudge directly with his left foot, and the football was as soft as when he left De Rossi just now. It's just that this time there is no sudden anti-thief.

Li Jinyu leaned over the football, turned and stepped on two steps, and to his left and right were Cannavaro and Chiellini, who were two meters away from him. The two of them are the world's famous players and the condensed symbols of the defensive spirit of Italian football, but at this moment they can only watch Li Jinyu fall to the ground on the line of the big penalty area and chase the ball and shoot.

The ball plowed a shallow cut in the turf, grazing Marchetti's fallen fingertips like a snake until the sidenet in the goalpost stopped it.

1:0, the Chinese team took the lead.

Surrounded by ecstatic Chinese celebrating, De Rossi could not hear what these Chinese were shouting with their mouths wide open, because the sudden rise of Vuvuzula drowned everything. Even if he didn't have Vuvuzzula, he shouldn't have understood.

De Rossi looked at Gattuso, he hoped to blame Gattuso for being too slow to react, but knew he couldn't, because Gattuso had just asked for the ball with his back, and the initiative of passing the ball was at his feet.

De Rossi looked for the Chinese player who had just stolen him, but now they were all gathered together to cheer, and he couldn't tell who was who. Except for Zhuo Yang, these Chinese make De Rossi look the same.

Gattuso looked at De Rossi, who was looking around, and there was no familiar anger in his eyes, only disappointment and desolation. The eighth master knew that he was slow to react just now, maybe the years were really unforgiving. If it had been ten years ago, or even two years ago, he would have caught the ball, even if it was only 5 meters, and his body would have automatically caught it. But just now I chose to wait sideways for the ball, and just a little slow reaction made a completely different choice.

Alas, really old! Looking at the Chinese with tender faces, the eighth master secretly sighed to himself. However, the eighth master didn't know that Li Tie, who had just grabbed the ball and made meritorious contributions, was actually one year older than him.

However, because he stayed with Zhuo Yang for three years, Jia Baye could understand what the Chinese were shouting at this time.

- Awesome!
