Frustrated, Balotelli continued to play with a black face.

I believe that from now on, whenever he recalls this incident, he will regret that his intestines will turn blue, because there was once an opportunity to be a big brother in front of him, but he was not able to seize it......

This feeling of loss made Balotelli turn all his anger on the head of the Montenegrin team, he had only one obsession in his heart, if I can't score earlier than you, then I must score more goals than you!

So he started a frantic assault on the gate of the Black Mountain team.

Whether Balotelli's dribbling is good or not, this topic is really hard to comment on, because when he concentrates, his breakthrough is almost unstoppable, but when he makes a second mistake, even if there is no one in front of him, he will think about life first, so the focus of evaluating Balotelli's breakthrough is not his technique, but his thinking.

Now Balotelli is a very focused person, a simple person, and he has only one goal, that is, to break the door of the Montenegrin team.

When such a Balotelli appeared, it was simply a god blocking God, Buddha blocking Buddha, and just six minutes after Descartes' goal, that is, two minutes before the end of the first half, Balotelli finally ushered in his goal.

This is a quite wonderful barb shot, the Italian team took a corner kick, and the Montenegrin defenders pushed the ball out**, but De Rossi, who was standing outside **, pushed the ball back, at this time everyone was running outside, seeing the ball fall to the top of Balotelli's head, only to see Balotelli suddenly fly up, and came up with a wonderful barb, this kind of barb shot against the ball is not small, compared to the difficulty of the ball that Balotelli shot before, it is several levels more difficult, However, this kind of difficult shot was blasted into the goal frame by Balotelli.

The goalkeeper of the Montenegro team, Poleksic, wanted to cry without tears, you said that you couldn't score such a simple ball before, why can you shoot so well with this kind of barb near the big **, isn't it difficult that you are not interested?

This goal will undoubtedly be included in the best goal collection of this round of qualifying, and this goal finally relieved Balotelli's frustration, he glanced at Descartes, and there was some smug look in his eyes, look, buddy's strength is not worse than you, it's just not very lucky.

Of course, Descartes guessed what this guy was thinking, and fought several times, although the Italian media said that Balotelli was crazy and incomprehensible, but in Descartes' opinion, he was a very straightforward and simple person, and all his joys and sorrows were written on his face, so that people could see through what he was thinking at a glance.

Just like now, Balotelli is obviously demonstrating to himself, which shows how frustrated he is about being a little brother, although the bet is unshakable, he still wants to continue to compete with himself through his performance on the court.

Descartes was never afraid of competition, and Balotelli was destined to be his little brother, and since he still wanted to struggle, he might as well fight him again to see who was the best.

With this in mind, Descartes and his Italian team ended the first half of the game, and they walked into the dressing room with a 2-0 scoreline, and everyone looked relaxed on their faces.

But when Lippi announced the changes and set-up for the second half, the smile on Descartes' face turned into regret, because Lippi still strictly followed the rule that only allowed him to play in the first half, replacing him with Quagliarella in the second half.

In fact, in order to start Descartes in this game, Lippi also made a lot of sacrifices, the most important of which is that he did not recruit veterans such as Piero and Tony, and even veterans like Di Natale who have been in the national team for a little longer have not been recruited, which is not to give the media a chance to judge Descartes' starting qualifications, fortunately Descartes and Balotelli did not live up to his expectations, and the two scored a goal each in the first half to achieve a fantastic score for Italy.

The review of Descartes is almost over, and Lippi now needs to look at Balotelli's performance throughout the pitch and his association with other players.

Of course, he couldn't guess that Descartes still had the intention of continuing to compete with Balotelli on the field, so when he replaced Descartes, he noticed that Descartes had a faint regret on his face.

Lippi thinks this is a good thing, which shows that Descartes is very motivated and wants to get more playing time, but at this time he will not come out alone to comfort Descartes, because he is ready to play in the World Cup with Descartes as the core, and there are some things that he will communicate with Descartes in private, and now the locker room is full of people, and some things are not convenient to say.

On the contrary, Balotelli also felt a little regretful, because without Descartes, he seemed to suddenly have no goal to surpass, and this time, all his original strength was lost.

What will Balotelli be like when he is deflated? In the second half of the game, he gave a clear answer.

Seeing Balotelli's listlessness on the court and frequent distraction, the unbearable Lippi replaced him in less than 20 minutes of the opening game, he really couldn't figure out what this big black man was thinking, the first half was obviously alive and well, it was like the majesty of the head of the general, but why did he wilt in the second half, could he have anemia like Descartes?

Unable to figure it out, Lippi watched Balotelli sit back on the bench with his head bowed, and he wanted to say something but finally held back, and finally turned his gaze back to the pitch and continued to observe the performance of the players on the field.

Balotelli sat back on the bench, looking at his teammates who were still running on the field and pouted, it was obvious that he felt that he should not be replaced, his strength was obviously higher than those guys, but soon the voice of Descartes came to his ears: "Hey, little brother, what's wrong with you, why is it so much worse than the first half, are you just going to fight when I'm gone?" ”

Balotelli turned his head, threw Descartes a disdainful look, and said seriously: "Don't be so arrogant, one day when I surpass you in the national team, I will regain the position of big brother." ”

"Hah!" Descartes was happy: "Then I must see when this day will come." But before that, you're still my little brother, aren't you? ”

"Humph!" Balotelli proudly left him with a back, and didn't bother to answer at all.

Descartes laughed twice, then kicked Balotelli in the calf: "Little brother, big brother is thirsty, go get me a bottle of water!" ”

Balotelli's eyebrows were raised, and he was about to turn his face, but after thinking about it for a while, he still held back, and stood up depressedly and brought a bottle of water from the coach's seat, but when he handed it to Descartes, he gritted his teeth and said: "You remember for me, when I become the boss in the future, I will let you bring me a bucket of water!" ”

"Then wait until you become the boss." Descartes stretched his legs lazily, drank saliva and made a refreshing look at home, and saw Balotelli grinding his teeth.

Without the deterrence of Descartes and Balotelli up front, Quagliarella and Rossi once again proved that they were not enough to support the Italian attack, and Montenegro was once again in control in the second half, and if it weren't for the invincibility of Italy's goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, Italy's victory would have been even more difficult.

The comparison between the two halves also proves the role of Descartes in this national team, although Balotelli also performed well in the first half, but he is still a newcomer to the national team after all, and more observation is needed to determine whether he is qualified, but the media began to unanimously praise Lippi's employment, before the game they were worried that two young people under 20 years old could not control the Italian team's forward line, but after this game, they finally realized that Descartes may be the savior of Italy in the future!

There has been less debate about Toni, Piero, and even whether Totti should be selected for the national team, and now the Italian media is talking about the same topic: Is Lippi ready to righten Descartes? Who will be Descartes' deputy when he ascends to power? Balotelli or Di Natale, or one of Quagliarella and Rossi? Is Italy really going to rely on such a young striker to compete in the World Cup in South Africa?

With all sorts of questions in mind, all eyes are on April 1, when Italy will host Ireland, another strong opponent in the group stage, and whether Descartes can take on the role will perhaps be answered after this game.

Descartes did not appear in the starting line-up again in the match against Ireland, and Lippi began to have a little experience with the use of Descartes at this time, although many people know that he will basically only play 45 minutes, but is it in the first 45 minutes or the last 45 minutes? Or maybe it's 45 minutes in between? Lippi began to feel that there were actually pros and cons to this matter, the bad part is that he can't lead the team completely, but the good thing is that it can disrupt the opponent's deployment, because no one dares to underestimate the existence of Descartes now, and the Italian opponents will try their best to stop Descartes' performance, but even the opponent's playing time is uncertain, how do you make a deployment for the surname?

In the past, some famous coaches liked to put a smokescreen bomb before the game, for example, a certain player was seriously injured and could not play, or a certain player who had recovered from injury and would start in this game, which was actually disrupting the deployment of the opposing team, so that they could not make arrangements for their surnames, and Descartes was simply a natural smokescreen, and the mere matter of when he played was enough for the opposing coach's nerve.

Lippi used to like to announce the game list the day before the game, but now he has decided that he will never announce the starting lineup until the moment before the game, and he will make the opponent's coach scratch his head, haha!

Ireland's coach didn't guess the beginning, he put on a double back and five back five in the first half, ready to guard against the impact of Descartes and Balotelli, who knew that Descartes did not play at all in the first half, Balotelli also showed absent-mindedness, so his hard work was all in vain, the Italians easily controlled the situation on the field, if it weren't for the bad form of their two starting forwards, it is estimated that they would have taken the lead.

Lippi is also very satisfied with his tactical victory, the only thing that makes him dissatisfied is the poor performance of strikers Balotelli and Iaquinta, after testing Quagliarella and Rossi in the last game, Lippi decided to inspect Iaquinta in this game, but the Juventus striker is still weak every big game, the Italian midfield in the first half sent them many chances, but they were wasted one by one, even the Italian audience at home couldn't help but boo, and some people were shouting loudly: "Change Desca, change Deska!" ”

The accident happened before the end of the first half, the Irish team made a random clearance, who knew that the Italian defender Grosso suddenly appeared on the top, Ireland striker Robbie. Keane has been cruising in the Italian half, and with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, where would Keane miss it? He ran long distances with the ball, and behind Cannavaro and Chiellini, who were not known for their speed, Keane went straight to Italy and bounced down the Italian side with a close-to-the-ground shot before Buffon could attack.

The unexpected goal here made Lippi furious, but also made Ireland's coach Staunton happy, with this goal in hand, he was even more determined to defend to the end, to get a point at home to Italy, is enough for Ireland, they are now only one more draw than Italy, neither team has lost a game, the final qualifying place, basically decided between the two teams, Ireland have another game at home against Italy in October, by that timeis the best time for Staunton to fight it out.

So people saw that Ireland not only did not take advantage of the victory after scoring this goal, but retreated all the way, and even Keane returned to near the halfway line to harass Italy's midfield.

Lippi's face was pale, if it weren't for the two minutes left in the first half, he would definitely not hesitate to replace Descartes, but now......

"Deska, go warm up, get ready for the second half!" The anger in Lippi's voice could be heard by anyone, and the Italian substitutes all stuck out their tongues, and none of them dared to make a sound.

As soon as the second half began, Descartes appeared in the Italian lineup, and the crowd on the sidelines also felt refreshed and cheered loudly with excitement.

"Deska, get one, don't let them be too arrogant!"

"Deska, beat them, you're the best!"

"Descartes, Descartes, I love you, it's up to you to defeat the enemy!"

……

The cheers of all kinds boosted the morale of the Italians in the second half, and most importantly because of Descartes' appearance, they did not have any more chaos up front.

When it comes to the changes that Descartes has brought to Italy's forward line, we have to mention their other key player, Andrea Pirlo.

At Arsenal, the core of the Gunners' playmaking is Cesc Fabregas, but Cesc Fabregas prefers to play in a midfield position, and shooting is his specialty, and in this regard, he will unconsciously coincide with Descartes's running position, which is why the media is always debating whether "the two cores can coexist"; However, in Italy, all these problems do not exist, because Pirlo has been transformed into a fully qualified midfielder by Carlo Ancelotti, he has the ability to play long balls and dispatch that Fabregas does not have, and is a master of controlling the tempo, in this regard, Fabregas is not comparable to him, and most importantly, he rarely appears in the front court, and does not compete with Descartes for attacking space, which makes Descartes feel particularly comfortable, a teammate who can provide ammunition and does not force space, He was Descartes' dream partner, and with Pirlo's back, he could improve his performance by several percentage points.

Andrea Pirlo controlled the tempo with long passes at the back, and Descartes organised attacks and threatened up front, a match made in heaven, and with Balotelli's impact, Italy clearly changed in the second half.

The Irish began to feel the pressure on their defence, and they had a few flaws in the first half, but neither Balotelli nor Iaquinta could catch them, which left them to chance, but when Descartes came on to score against them after just nine minutes, the Irish were completely stunned and had to fight the Italians with all their might, and they did not dare to make mistakes easily.

Descartes's goal came from Pirlo's delivery, Ireland arranged 7 full-time defensive players in the backfield, originally thought to sit back and relax, but Descartes carved a hole in this steel defense line, he received Pirlo's pass and then wiped one of Ireland's backs, and then distributed the ball to the side, Camoranesi on the side crossed, and the Irish defender pushed the ball out, but at this time Descartes suddenly appeared at the top of the big ** arc, and he shot vigorously against the rebounding ball, The Ireland goalkeeper blocked the view of the defenders and by the time he saw the ball, it had already crossed his fingers and appeared in the net.

This goal is only because Ireland's midfielders have a god, allowing Descartes to drill into the area that should have been guarded, such a small mistake can bring about conceding a goal, Ireland's defenders no longer dare to let Descartes drill around in the front, it seems that what the head coach Staunton said makes sense, such a player, even if he is defended by three people, he is not much.

However, after the goal, Descartes was not busy celebrating, he gestured to Balotelli on the side of the 9, which means that he has scored 9 goals for the national team, and Balotelli said last time that he wanted to surpass him in goals and regain the position of big brother, he wanted to let this guy take a good look, his dream is impossible to achieve.

Of course, Balotelli also understood what Descartes meant, he rolled his eyes hatefully, and then his face sank, the Irishman who said dog, Grandpa Balotelli is going to be powerful, you wait for me! (To be continued.) )
