There was a tragic overhaul at the Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg, where the Italians launched an attack on Slovakia in desperation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Italian fans in the stands burst into tears, shouting hoarsely for their team in despair.

In the second minute of stoppage time, the Italians' efforts paid off, De Rossi's shot from the left rib was blocked and shoveled to Quagliarella, who was 24 meters out in front of the goal and cleverly slotted his right foot!

The ball arcs in the air and flies into the net from the top left corner of the goal!

The ball is in!

Two to three!

The Italians see the hope of miracles again!

At the moment, there are three minutes left in stoppage time, which means that they can still save themselves in those three minutes!

The atmosphere on the field was breathtaking!

Slovakia coach Weiss Sr. made successive substitutions to consume time, with Shestak replacing Vitek and Petrushi replacing Jendryšek.

At the moment, the other game is over, Paraguay drew 0-0 with New Zealand, and the Italians only need one more goal to qualify!

In the last minute of stoppage time, Chiellini threw a powerful ball into the sideline from the right side, and the football was pushed to the back post by the Slovak defender, Pepe stepped forward to squeeze away from the opposing defender and volleyed!

The air in the stadium is frozen!

At the critical moment, Slovak goalkeeper Muha bravely saved the football from the bottom line!

The hopes of the Italians were completely dashed!

When Moha took the goal kick, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!

The Italian players fell to the ground in agony and the Italian fans in the stands shed tears of pain as they repeated the bleak path of 1950 and failed to qualify as the defending champions......

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Slovakian bench rushed into the field frantically, and they beat Italy in an upset and miraculously qualified from the group!

The reporter on the sidelines sighed: There are miracles everywhere in life, as long as you dare to think and dare to fight, miracles can be realized......

The defending champions fell, Italy was a surprise and the whole world was shaken.

The French team newspaper commented: Defending champions Italy came out of the group stage at the bottom of the group, which surprised many, but it was also reasonable.

Italy have scored a total of four goals in this World Cup, three of which have come from the forward line, of which Di Natale, who came off the bench in the first two games and only started in the third, and Quagliarella, who only got the chance to come off the bench in the third, contributed a goal each.

And Iaquinta, the only main player in the front line, only scored one penalty.

Iaquinta is indeed the only mainstay in the forward line, and he is also the only player in the Italian forward line to start every game in three games.

And he played all three positions in the front court, when Gilardino was the main center forward, Iaquinta played left winger, and after Di Natale came on the field, he moved to the right winger, and this game was simply put in the center position, as if Lippi was going to leave him a place no matter what.

But how is Iaquinta doing?

The one-on-one ball against New Zealand was stabbed down due to slow action, and at the beginning of the first half against Slovakia, he kicked Di Natale's wonderful pass directly to the bottom line, and in the third half of the second half, Pepe's only good ball on the side, Iaquinta grabbed the point, but it was ridiculously deflected.

In the 22nd minute of the second half, Quagliarella's clever pass was sent by Iaquinta to turn and break through, but let the ball hit his heel......

Of course, Iaquinta's other brilliant back-heel pass was the root of Italy's first goal, but as the main striker in three games, he contributed nothing more than that penalty.

An Italian journalist once pointed out: "Iaquinta is a close confidant of Lippi, and the reason why he can still secure a World Cup place after recuperating from an injury for a season is because he is Lippi's 'dressing room spy'." ”

The so-called locker room spy is actually a direct player who helps the coach monitor the words and deeds of his teammates in the team, and the reporter's words cannot be confirmed, but Lippi's enthusiasm for assigning "locker room spies" has long been a public fact, and at Inter Milan, he was ostracized for a long time because Baggio refused his request.

The inability to give everyone a fair chance from a competitive point of view is the biggest problem that Lippi has shown in the selection of personnel this time.

In fact, this problem has always existed, at the beginning, Panucci was remembered for a lifetime because of a conflict between Inter Milan and Lippi.

A public apology also did not allow him to enter the Italian national team coached by Lippi, but the problem did not become apparent when the full-back position was in the prime of Grosso, Zambrotta, and Odor.

And in today's era of withering talent, the problem of choosing players based on personal likes and dislikes is obvious.

So Cannavaro can still play the main team in the national team for a bad season, Iaquinta can play the main team for a season with an injury, and Pepe has been reduced to a substitute in Udinese, and he is still the main player in the national team.

There's no denying that Lippi is top-notch in terms of tactics and coaching ability, but when it comes to relationships with his players, Lippi has never been an expert.

At Juventus, there are strongmen like Moggi to help him manage, and in the last World Cup, there were "Juventus Gang" and Totti who worked hard for him.

This time, Lippi avoided players with whom he had a bad relationship and who might not have a good relationship with him, choosing a group of people he could handle, but it was too late when he found out that this group was not capable or even help him to qualify from such a simple group.

One might say how Jose Mourinho tossed Balotelli, how Koko and others hated Mancini, how Leonardo and Kaladze and Inzaghi had contradictions, and the problems between Carlo Ancelotti and Sheva.

But at least these coaches are confronting and solving problems with their players, and Lippi's choice is to escape, and now the outcome is the reward for his escape.

Italian Milan newspaper commented: Italy lost 2-3 to Slovakia, after the referee's three whistles at the end of the game, the Slovak players hugged together to celebrate, the Italian players were crying, and Lippi didn't even say hello to the opposing manager, and hurried back to the dressing room.

"I hope we can pick ourselves up as soon as possible, I did what Lippi asked me to do, but it wasn't enough, I'm really sorry." At the press conference, Lippi took all the blame.

Quaarella defended Lippi: "Lippi was protecting us, but it was us who played, so the mistake should be ours. ”

Lippi's use of Quaarella was one of the main points of media criticism.

Quaarella explains: "I know where I am, so I seek to take my own chances. But I've never had an opinion. Because there were some really great players before me. We had a cohesive dressing room and it was a big shame for all of us. ”

In the locker room, our reporter saw Cannavaro, Pirlo and Gattuso crying.

"We really care about this World Cup, but football is so cruel." In front of the reporters, Pirlo only said two or three words before hurriing away.

"We should have won the game, but we lost it in an ugly way. Liability? We are a collective, so everyone has a responsibility. These are the only two words that Pirlo has to say.

The World Cup in Italy and South Africa is over, and it ended in such an ugly way that Lippi is to blame for the defeat!
