As the commentators on the commentary stage roared hoarsely, the Italian and Mexican players marched into the stadium in pairs, and the enthusiasm of the fans was ignited once again, and more than 70,000 people let out a sky-shattering cheer, leaving a small drum pounding in the hearts of all the players who took to the pitch.

All the young players raised their heads and looked at the crowded stands around them, their eyes radiated a strange light, this moment will be remembered in their hearts for eternity, and it will be their first step on the stage of success.

After playing the national anthems of the two teams, the young players shook hands one by one and then stood on both sides of the court. Based on the mutual guesses of the captains of both sides, Espisa and Bivio, the Italian team was given the right to pick sides.

Bivio did not hesitate to pick the southern half of the court, because the game was kicked off at 2:30 p.m. local time in Peru, so the southern half of the court was in a position of light, and Italy needed to fight against the Mexicans in the first half against the bright sun.

But this was originally the strategy set by the Italian team, and the reason why they chose face light in the first half was so that after Descartes came on in the second half, they could have the advantage of backlighting.

The Italians clearly set the time for the decisive moment in the second half.

Mexico certainly understood Italy's intentions, but it didn't dampen their mood as they were so confident in their forward line that they were even eager to break down the Italians in the first 45 minutes and seal the game before Descartes came on.

The Italian line-up for this game is goalkeeper Perrin, defenders Silvestri, Bivio, Angelizzi, Cremonesi, midfielders Mandolini, Cio, Palermo and Greco, and the forward line has removed Thiboni and left Russoto and Foti.

It can be seen from this 442 formation that Mr. Roca did not dare to take the attack of the Mexican team lightly, and once again sacrificed the defensive formation against Brazil, and the reason why Russoto was used as the "third striker" was because Russoto was faster than Tiboni, and he would play a greater role when counterattacking.

As for the Mexican side, they also sent the 433 formation that they began to use in the group stage, goalkeeper Arias, defenders Ala Uyo, Valdes, Sanchez, Moreno, and midfielders Espisa, Hernandez, Dos. Santos, forwards Vela, Aldelet, Villalos.

Yes, you read that right, Doss. Although Santos scored three goals for Mexico, his position in Mexico is a midfielder.

However, Mexico's two wingers are more like two full-backs most of the time, and their back-to-back is quite deep, sometimes even appearing in their own team's full-back position, so Doss. Santos got a lot of opportunities to get forward, which is why he was able to score three goals.

Against the Italians' 442 defensive formation, Doss. Santos looked dismissive, rushing aggressively after the kick-off and then getting the ball in the 40-metre area for Italy. Santos received the ball and dribbled past two Italian receivers in succession before passing the ball away from the Italian team's encirclement.

The goal was eventually scored by Villalos in the corner of the penalty area, which put a lot of psychological pressure on the Italian team.

Seeing that this attack did not succeed, Doss. Santos spat the ground and walked back to his half without looking back.

Three minutes later, Mexico made a comeback. Santos once again picked up the ball in Italy's ribs, this time facing Silvestri and Bivio.

Doss. Santos's eyes flashed with excitement, he stepped on the bicycle several times in a row, and when Silvestri was dizzy, he suddenly turned the football to the side, and then when Bivio rushed up to press, he suddenly made a "Marseille slalom", this Marseille slalom was not complete, but it was very useful, Bivio did not expect the opponent to make such a difficult technical move near the sideline, so he was caught off guard by Doss. Santos stopped behind him.

In desperation, Bivio had no choice but to reach out and hug Doss. Santos, dragging him to the ground, applied for a Topaz God of War card for himself.

Just over 4 minutes into the game, the captain of the Italian team received a yellow card, and the situation on the pitch suddenly became tense.

Doss. Santos obviously had a lot of opinions on this penalty, he closely followed the referee to complain, and revealed to the referee how serious Bivio's foul was, and a red card should be the punishment he deserved, but unfortunately the referee saw it very clearly, Bivio's foul was on the sideline, and Doss. Santos has no such thing as an "absolute chance" at all, so a yellow card is reasonable.

Instead, it's Doss. Santos' chattering after the referee almost resulted in a yellow card for himself.

Bella on the field sees Doss. Santos was very excited, and rushed over to drag him far away from the referee, he understood that Doss. Santos wanted to beat Italy and Descartes, but he didn't expect him to be so excited, and it seemed that he couldn't control his emotions a little.

After more than a minute of persuasion by Bella, Doss. Santos stopped his nagging at the referee, and then he raised his chin at Descartes on the sidelines in a demonstrative gesture.

Descartes, of course, saw Doss. Santos's move, but he didn't immediately ask Mr. Rocca to fight this time, because he had learned to trust his teammates and no longer get angry easily because of a small provocation from the enemy.

The game that followed was almost entirely one-sided, with the Italian team struggling to cope with waves of Mexican attacks, with four midfielders simply not enough, and even Foti and Russoto were pressed back to the halfway line, with football flying all over the pitch in the Italian half, and the Mexican goalkeepers almost fell asleep.

Under such tremendous pressure, the Italian team showed their world-class defense, although the game was just 20 minutes into the game they have already carried 3 yellow cards, but all the Italian players gritted their teeth and struggled to support and did not want to give up, they are like a rock in the ocean, although they are always submerged by the monstrous waves, but soon they will show their dark bodies again, and they have never given in.

Seeing the situation getting worse and worse, Mr. Roca finally couldn't sit still and replaced Russoto with a defender Francescini in a dead ball, leaving Forti alone as a nail in the front.

Foti isn't fast either, but he has a height advantage up front, at least he can stall for a bit when it comes to fighting for the ball in the air.

Seeing that the time passed minute by minute, the Mexican team has never been able to break through the Italians' goal, at this time they themselves began to be anxious, you know, around the opponent's goal bombardment is cool, but the physical consumption is also very large, if you can't win in the first half, they will usher in the Italian's ferocious counterattack in the second half, when the time comes, it's really hard to say.

In the 36th minute of the game, Doss. Santos once again got the ball in the upper right corner of the penalty area, at this time he was already red-eyed and couldn't see his teammates at all, he took the ball and was about to force it into the box, but Cremonesi and Zio teamed up to block his way, the ball bounced at the feet of Zio and was blocked out of the box. Santos reacted so quickly that he immediately kept the football in his back and got the ball again.

At this time, of course, Zio would not give him a chance to turn around, and he clung to Doss. Santos' back, with his foot out from behind him, tried to break the ball.

However, at this moment, Doss. Santos suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, holding his thigh and signaling to the referee to invade the inside of his thigh.

The second Austria to doss. Santos was very puzzled by his behavior, he innocently raised his hands and pleaded to the referee that he had not committed a foul. Santos's excellent acting skills were apparently half a beat slower than his reaction, and the referee hesitated before giving Mexico a direct free-kick from the corner of the box.

But at this time, a ridiculous scene happened, and before the referee made a decision, Doss, who was still holding his thighs on the ground and screaming in pain. When Santos heard the referee's decision, he suddenly jumped up from the ground, then ran over and picked up the football and placed it on the penalty spot.

The speed of his movements and the excitement of his expression made everyone stunned, but the referee secretly frowned, and it was clear that he realized that he might be defeated by Doss. Santos deceived and his injuries were not as serious as he had shown them to be.

This pair of Doss. For Santos, it may have been just an opportunity to show off his acting skills, but for the referee, it was a very embarrassing and angry thing for him, so he secretly wrote down the number of the little guy in the Mexican team and put him on his blacklist.

Doss. Santos didn't give up the penalty to his team-mate, he took the free-kick himself, and the ball slid over a high arc into the back corner of the Italian goal, but the Italian goalkeeper Perrin was tall and jumped to lift the free-kick out of the net.

Seeing that the near-perfect penalty was blocked by the Italian goalkeeper, Doss. Santos angrily kicked the lawn beneath his feet. However, although the goal did not score, it gave him some "inspiration", and he felt that he had found the key to the Italian team's goal.

Five minutes later, Mexico attacked again outside the Italian penalty area. Santos took the initiative to ask his team-mate, and then, with a flick of his ankle at the moment of receiving the ball, he brushed past Palermo who had pounced on his head.

After passing Palermo, Dos. Santos didn't stop moving, he saw the Italian team in the penalty area, but he didn't have the slightest fear, he pounced directly with the ball, and it was simply straight into the crowded place.

His actions were a sign of death in the eyes of the Italian defenders.

Without hesitation, the Italian defenders who were cowering in the box collectively pounced forward, and their uniform movements instantly put the two Mexican strikers Vela and Aldelit in the penalty area in an offside position. Santos lost the possibility of passing.

But no one knows, Doss. Santos didn't think about passing the ball at this time, and when he saw the Italian defenders save together, he was overjoyed and went directly to the captain of the Italian team, central defender Bivio.

Bivio thought Doss. Santos saw that he had already carried a yellow card, and his actions might be scruples, so he found himself, so he secretly made up his mind that he must let this arrogant Mexican taste a lesson. Santos approached him, then suddenly turned and leaned his back against him.

Bivio is completely messy, what does that mean? You know, any striker should understand that facing the goal and facing the goal with his back to the goal are definitely two concepts in the midfield, if you have your back to the opponent's player in the midfield, then you may still have room to move, but in the penalty area, any team's defender will not let you have a chance to take the ball for more than 3 seconds, at this time choose to face the goal with his back, does he want to shoot with his back heel?

Bivio didn't dare to slack off, and immediately focused all his attention on Doss. Santos's feet, he needs to take a closer look at Doss. Santos' ankle movements to determine his next move. At the same time, Silvestri and Angeluzzi, who were on the left and right of Bivio, also pressed over from left to right.

As previously said, Doss. If Santos dares to keep this action for more than 3 seconds, his ball will definitely be broken.

But Doss. Santos soon showed his "talent" to the world, he flicked the ball diagonally forward, and then chased after it quickly, at this time, Angeluzzi just happened to meet him. Santos' ball bounced past his feet, but the latter suddenly screamed and collapsed into the box with a difficult dive.

When the whistle blew, Angruzzi was stunned!
