Chapter 46: The Battle of China and Italy (Equalization)

Vieri, Totti, Piero, Baggio.

There are four attacking players left on the field, which has to be said to be the most attacking lineup in Italy at the moment!

Trapattoni couldn't help himself with such a formation, and there were still twenty-five minutes to go, two goals behind, if he was so steady and steady, it would be impossible to get two goals back!

The Chinese team's goal disrupted Trapattoni's subordinates, who originally planned to replace Piero with Baggio, pull a goal back at the last moment, and drag the game into extra time, but now, the plan is all messed up!

With Baggio's ability, it is very likely that he will recover one goal at the last moment, but if he wants to recover two goals, even Trapattoni can only silently pray for God to bless.

The director specifically cut the camera to Baggio on the field, and his cold face was expressionless.

The Chinese fans are starting to get nervous, Baggio, Baggio is finally playing, so what will he bring to Italy next?

The Italian counterattack began.

Everyone knows that with the last 25 minutes to go, the only way for Italy to get back two goals is to become Brazil or the Netherlands.

The defensive counterattack has completely lost its due role at this time, because the Chinese team will not be stupid, and will all press the attack when the two-goal lead is over, and now the Chinese team has begun to play defensive counterattack.

Being taken out by the opponent to deal with himself with his own unique skills, this feeling is afraid that only those who died under the hands of the Gusu Murong family can have this experience, but there is no doubt that the Chinese team's defensive counterattack is very beautiful, no, to be precise, in terms of defense.

As soon as Baggio came on the field, Ling Feng's position retreated, and he was to mark Baggio, and at the same time, Hao Haidong was replaced by Li Tie, and the formation of the Chinese team became 4-5-1.

Twenty-two minutes later, Italy won a corner kick opportunity, Totti's pass was headed out by Ling Feng in the box - behind him, Cannavaro jumped like a trapeze, but unfortunately did not even touch the edge of the ball.

"Ling, you bastard!" Seeing Ling Feng running up and preparing to launch a counterattack, Cannavaro behind him scolded loudly, using the Neapolitan dialect.

Ling Feng didn't bother to care about him, and after receiving Zhu Yujian's through ball, he gave a long pass without pause to Ding Rui in the Italian backfield, but unfortunately Maldini's header destroyed the sideline, and this opportunity to counterattack was scrapped.

China learned from Italy vividly, but Italy learned from Brazil and the Netherlands not so smoothly.

Baggio is rarely able to get the ball comfortably and run through people like in the first two games - Ling Feng really knows him too well, and now he is a whole follower, where Baggio goes, Ling Feng doesn't even care about attacking.

This has to remind Baggio of what Ling Feng said when he persuaded himself to join Fiorentina: "If China and Italy meet in the World Cup, then the manager must ask for the opinions of several players who are more familiar with me, and as the only attacking player, you are the only choice for the manager." ”

Of course, this was said five years ago, when the manager was still Maldini Sr., and now, the manager has changed to Trapattoni, but it is still valid.

But Baggio was depressed, he knew Ling Feng, Ling Feng also knew him, he appeared as a surprise soldier at the last moment, he was killed by Ling Feng like this, it was really, it was really ...... It's so depressing!

Of course, Ling Feng can't completely prevent Baggio, no player in the world has this ability, and he can limit Baggio from forming a threatening attack within twenty minutes, but this successive interference makes Baggio, who was originally the core, unable to play his strength, and the Italian team's offense has not improved in the slightest.

In the thirty-sixth minute, Baggio leaned on Ling Feng and passed the ball in the penalty area, Piero followed with a kick, Vieri hit the goal directly, and the ball was saved by Li Ke.

Italy corner kick.

Italy have won four corners since Baggio came on and it seems that scoring from set-pieces is also the current tactical thinking of the Italian team - generally speaking, the closer the game is over, the more you have to seize every opportunity.

Totti stood in front of the ball for the fourth time in fifteen minutes from a corner, but the first three times failed to create a single chance!

He was really unconvinced!

Why, why is he now at the heart of the Italian team, but he always has to live in the shadow of Baggio?!

With his performance in the league and his performance in the Roma team, even if he can't say that he can beat Baggio, he is a veritable ace player, but in the World Cup, why is his performance so poor?

In four games so far, all starts, but not a single goal, only one assist!

And Baggio came off the bench twice, with two key goals and one key assist!

This report card clearly says that Totti is not as good as Baggio!

Maybe Baggio, as a veteran player who is about to retire, doesn't want to overpower himself and Piero, he just wants to leave no regrets on his final stage, that's all.

But from the point of view of others, they will sigh that after Baggio, there is no one available in Italy!

This is unacceptable to the arrogant Totti!

The reason why Baggio has come to this point and is loved by everyone is in the World Cup, in the World Cup eight years ago, although he missed a key penalty, but without him, Italy would not have been able to enter the final!

If you want to beat Baggio, you can only do it in the World Cup!

When this decision was made, Totti suddenly relaxed, he looked at his teammates in the penalty area, the Chinese team defended very tightly, there were almost no loopholes, but this situation, he can often see it in the club.

If there is no situation, create a situation for him!

After the referee's signal, Totti ran slowly and slammed his right foot under the ball!

The ball flew into the penalty area in an arc, a rotating arc that went directly to the middle of the penalty area!

To whom? There is no specific goal, the ball spins extremely fast, and it is not used for his own strikers to rush to the top at all, Totti's purpose is - to create chaos!

Sure enough, when Wang Gang jumped up, he found that the trajectory of the ball was different from his original judgment!

Similarly, Vieri, who jumped up with Wang Gang, was also deceived, and the two collided in the air but didn't grab the ball!

Cannavaro and Ling Feng in the middle also jumped up, the second point is that they can judge the trajectory of the ball clearly, but when Ling Feng touches the ball, he feels that the speed of the ball spinning is amazing, coupled with Cannavaro's interference on the side, he was not able to correct the position, but was wiped by the ball, and it hurt!

Although he couldn't hit it right, Ling Feng's defense also caused the ball to change its course and fall into the penalty area!

A foot seemed to stretch out of the void, and it was a powerful sweep in the air against the falling ball!

In this position, it is only five or six meters away from the goal, and no one can save such a powerful shot unless it is smashed straight on the goalkeeper.

Unfortunately, the luck of the Chinese team was not so good, the ball passed by Li Ke's side, and Goyechea's apprentice only felt something fly past him, and before he could react, the ball had already entered the net.

Baggio! It's Baggio!

In the midst of the chaos, Baggio blasted open the door of the Chinese team with a powerful shot!

1：2！ The Italian team managed to close the score gap to one goal!

Chinese fans really love and hate Baggio.

What I love is that he can still have such a good performance in the last World Cup, but what I hate is that he actually scored a goal like this, and he actually narrowed the lead of the Chinese team to one goal?!

There are still ten minutes left in the game, can the Chinese team keep the lead of this goal?!

The next game was extremely intense!

The Italian team was full of confidence when they pulled back a goal, and Trapattoni simply jumped to the sidelines and began to cheer for the players, in his opinion, under the guidance of his Trapattoni director, the Italian team will be fully capable of staging a Kowloon miracle comparable to the Bern miracle.

Director: Trapattoni.

Actor: Robert. Baggio, Francisco. Totti, Del. Piero, Christian. Vieri.

Heroine:...... Not yet.

Evil Supporting Actor: Ling Feng, Ding Rui, Yue Lingxiang......

Remembering the super mentally retarded movie played by Pepsi a few years ago, Mr. Trapattoni still thinks that the blockbuster he directed is more appealing and more capable of generating box office.

It's a pity that his old gentleman forgot one thing, the movie is not entirely the director's final say, and there is also a rather important role - screenwriter!

This screenwriter is naturally our dear and lovely Bing classmate!

Both sides are still fighting the field, each replacing a player, but the goal is the same, to stabilize the midfield!

In the next ten minutes, Italy came up like a tide of stimulants, and Ling Feng gradually felt powerless when he was keeping an eye on Baggio, not to mention that Totti next to him was also threatening, and it was difficult for Li Tie and Zhu Yujian to clamp him at all!

Now even Ling Feng has nothing to do, Zhu Guanglu is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot on the side, with his level, it is difficult to give tactical guidance to the Chinese team at this time, and the last ten minutes will completely depend on the Chinese team to hold on!

In fact, Zhu Guanglu still has something to do.

The Chinese team still has a substitution place, Liu Dong has already left the field, the purpose of replacing Zhang Xiaorui is to control the midfield, if Zhu Guanglu dares to bet, replace Yue Lingxiang or Ding Rui at this time, completely withdraw the defense, I don't believe that Italy can break through the defensive line of eleven people!

But Zhu Guanglu wanted to leave a backup move, in case he had to play overtime, there was a way to change it.

This kind of thinking is not bad, or using this substitution to delay the time and disrupt the morale of Italy at the end of the game is very normal thinking, if it is Ling Feng, he will not easily use this last trump card in his hand!

Zhu Guanglu didn't move, but Trapattoni did.

In the last five minutes, he replaced Vieri, who had exhausted his physical strength, and replaced him with Philippe. Inzaghi, give it a go at the last minute!

It can be considered that Trapattoni is a broken can, a player like Inzaghi, his real threat does not lie in his physical strength, because he is different from Baggio, who relies on individual breakthroughs, while Inzaghi is ambushed in the penalty area to grab points!

In the 42nd minute, Piero passed the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and Wang Gang headed the ball out.

In the 43rd minute, Baggio made a wonderful pass to the penalty area, and Fan Zhiyi grabbed the ball before Inzaghi kicked the ball.

At 43 minutes and 50 seconds, the Chinese team's counterattack was cut off by Nesta in the front court, and the Italian team continued to counterattack.

Forty-four minutes and twenty-three seconds, after a series of cooperation in Italy, the ball passed to the feet of Totti in front of the penalty area, and the prince of Rome knocked his heel, and the ball passed through Wang Gang and Fan Zhiyi and rolled into the right side of the penalty area!

Baggio quickly cut in from a tight angle and the ball went over the crossbar!

The whistle sounded ......"Shhhhhh

Everyone was stunned, Baggio fell to the ground in pain, and the referee trotted all the way over and pulled out a red card at a player behind him!

Zhu Yin!

Left-back Zhu Yin!

Judging from slow motion, at the moment when Baggio hit the goal, Zhu Yin had to fall to the ground and shovel him down - maybe he was too nervous, but in fact, shots from this angle are generally unlikely to go in.

But Zhu Yin shoveled down, he received a red card, and, at the last moment, the Italian team won a valuable penalty!

Huang Jianxiang will not shout the great Baggio at this time, when the game is about to end, the Italian team, which is one goal behind, has gained such a life-saving straw!

In this way, when Totti faced the eyes and expectations of Italian fans all over the world, he kicked a theoretical corner, and Li Co judged the right direction, but did not save the high-speed ball.

2:2, at the last moment of the game, the Italian team miraculously tied the score!
