When the Italian junior team stepped onto the pitch again, everyone saw the change.

Not unlike expected, the Italians were replaced by their number one star, Descartes. Mondillo; Contrary to expectations, Descartes stepped into the right winger position instead of the midfield he had been in for the previous two games.

The change also sent the commentators and Italian commentators in front of the TV screens to exclaim: "Francisco. Rocca put Descartes on the right wing, what did he want to do? ”

The whole world wants to know what Roca wants to do.

How will Descartes perform when he returns to the front line? Will he lead the Italian Jedi to life like he did in Pavia?

After Descartes left midfield, who would organize Italy's attack? Has Rocca given up on establishing Descartes at the heart of the team?

All of this will be shown to everyone in the 45 minutes of the second half.

The North Korean team also noticed a change in Descartes' position. While North Korea has always been known for its isolation, they are not even aware of the details of their group stage opponents.

Descartes has been at the heart of Italy's midfield since the start of the World Junior Championships, so why was he relegated to the right winger position this time? Is Italy's head coach already expecting nothing from him?

For their own reasons, the North Korean team only knew a little about Descartes, who had never appeared on the international stage, and all they knew about Descartes came from the first two games of the group stage.

In those two games, although Descartes worked hard, he made frequent mistakes, which was really not a good performance, so although the North Korean team had a little doubt about his playing position, they did not take it to heart.

Anyway, it's just a bad opponent, so why bother which position he plays?

This mentality of the North Korean team allowed them to be punished very quickly in the second half.

In the minutes leading up to the game, Descartes struggled to get used to the feeling of being back up front, and he was as diligent as ever in his right winger position, which was a little off the back of the net, but it didn't stop him from quickly regaining his feeling at Pavia.

Although Descartes was known as a striker in Pavia, he was always on the pitch as a free agent up front, covering the entire frontcourt from left to right, and sometimes even returning to the halfway line to get the ball.

That's why Mr. Rocca feels he has the heart to be at the heart of the organization.

However, Descartes spent most of these games pressing in front of the opposition back line, looking for a lethal opportunity.

It's a different feeling from having to face both the midfielder and the defender at the same time.

While most teams will send a full-time defender to entangle him, Descartes has long since adapted to this rhythm, a marker can't lock him up, and his passing skills are not under the break.

However, in this game, the North Korean team only sent a left-back to keep an eye on him because they didn't know him, so Descartes quickly made the North Korean team understand their mistake.

In the 8th minute, Italy launched an attack, the football was led by Mandolini across the halfway line, Descartes quickly retreated to respond, and after a small area of cooperation with Mandolini, the latter went straight to the bottom line, and Descartes followed to the side at any time.

The North Korean left-backs had to follow Mandolini, while their midfielders dropped back to see Descartes.

Mandolini made two feints near the baseline, and just when the North Koreans thought he was going to cross the bottom, he suddenly knocked the ball across to Descartes, and then quickly cut into the box to make a two-on-one stance.

The North Korean defenders were really confused by this action, not only did their left-back desperately jam Mandolini's inside line, but even the defender who was guarding Descartes unconsciously moved his body into the penalty area, blocking Descartes' passing route.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Descartes quickly slipped past the midfielder, who had lost his centre of gravity, and then played the ball horizontally on the line of the penalty area, and quickly rushed towards the other two central defenders of the North Korean team.

At this time, in addition to Mandolini and the North Korean defenders in the North Korean team's penalty area, Foti was cutting forward through the gap between the two central defenders, while Thiboni contained the North Korean team's right-back at the far end of the small penalty area.

Descartes didn't look up at all during the dribble, and just when the two central defenders of the North Korean team couldn't help but grab it together, he suddenly picked up an overhead ball with the outside of his right foot, which was just right, just over the heads of the North Korean defenders, and landed between them and the goalkeeper.

At the same time, Foti's ball arrived, and the ball was passed so beautifully that he didn't have to make any adjustments at all, and shot directly with one foot, and the ball went into the net.

1:1！

Just eight minutes into the second half, Italy equalised!

Mr. Rocca, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but rush out of the rest area, waving his arms vigorously outside the sideline and yelling twice. It was not only Italy that equalised the score, but also the role that Descartes showed in the attack.

From Mandolini to Foti, Descartes dominated the attack, and although he did not stand at the heart of the midfield, it was exactly what Mr. Roca wanted!

The ball finally made Mr. Rocca's mind clear: it wasn't that way Descartes used it, and he should use it that way......

The attack on the North Korean team also made the Italian players who had been depressed for the whole first half let out a venting roar, Futi rushed to Descartes with a fierce face after the goal, and then picked him up, at this moment, the little little love between the two disappeared.

Until this point, the North Korean team had not realised how wrong it was for them to let Descartes go freely in and out of the penalty area, and the head coach of the North Korean team only yelled a few words on the sidelines, telling his midfielder to pay attention to the defensive position at all times, and at the same time let his left midfielder reclaim a little bit and not let the opponent go into a no-man's land on the wing again.

That's all.

So Descartes finally made the North Korean team understand after 10 minutes why he was Italy's number one star.

In the 19th minute, Italy made a comeback, this time with their striker Palermo bursting forward with the ball, and after being intercepted by the North Korean midfielder, he crossed the ball to Descartes who came back to pick up.

Descartes lifted his left foot along the ball, and the North Korean midfielder who was marking him glanced out of the corner of his eye to spot Italy's striker Foti running back. It looks like this should be a wall-mounted fit.

The midfielder decided to take a gamble and steal Descartes' pass early.

Then he squeezed behind Descartes desperately, and put one foot directly into the path where Descartes was about to pass.

But soon he was confused, because the ball did not appear at all, and his feet only mentioned a cloud of air, and a few pieces of grass that had been kicked away.

What about balls?

When the player came to his senses, he realized that the ball was behind him, and thanks to his up-and-coming tackle, Descartes easily turned around and sprinted straight towards their back line with the ball.

It turned out that Descartes sensed the movement of the North Korean player through physical contact when receiving the ball, and he missed the oncoming ball, and took advantage of the opportunity of the North Korean player to pounce on his head, and directly turned to catch up with the running football.

And all defenders who have played the ball know that when the opposing player is dribbling the ball at high speed, it is the worst time to defend.

It is likely that it only takes a small angle for the defenders to be swept past like a stake, and if they don't need to be fouled to block it, they will most likely have a goal conceded.

And the defender of the North Korean team obviously understood this truth, so he rushed towards Descartes without hesitation, and judging by his menacing expression, he was ready to watch a pornographic film or even be expelled from the game.

But Descartes didn't give him that chance, as he raised his thigh high directly from outside the box.

Is it a shot?! The North Korean defender was stunned for a moment, and his assault suddenly became very awkward, because Descartes was still two or three steps away from him, and it was almost impossible for him to block Descartes' shot under normal circumstances.

Is it a real shot or a fake shot?

The defender was completely confused, leaving him with less than a second to react, and he had to rely on experience to decide whether to continue to pounce or slide to the ground to block the path of his shot.

In the end, the defender chose to keep himself useful in order to make a comeback. Because he knew that if he continued to pounce, Descartes only needed to casually touch the ball, and he would definitely win a foul, and whether he would go off the court or not would depend on the professional judgment of the referee.

And if you use a sliding tackle, although you are likely to be missed by Descartes' fake shot, at least you won't get a card, and the coach can't say that he doesn't work hard - in such a short time, I have made such a difficult sliding tackle, are you embarrassed to blame me?

So the defenders of the North Korean team begged for mercy.

Descartes lowered his thigh the moment he slid the tackle, then pulled the ball with ease, and when the player slipped under his feet, he burst in.

Faced with the opponent's panicked goalkeeper and the goal as wide as the sea, Descartes certainly would not let go of such an opportunity.

A light push ignited the enthusiasm of tens of thousands of spectators at the scene, and also made the Italian fans in front of the TV cheer in unison!

With only 18 minutes into the second half, Italy had already taken the lead.

Compared to the Italian team that lacked attack in the first half, the Italian team seemed to suddenly change its appearance in the second half.

Not only did they take the lead in the 18 minutes, but they also dominated the field, and with Descartes' thread, the entire Italian team's front court seemed to come to life suddenly, and their six frontcourt players took turns to attack the North Korean defence, making the "Iron Liberation Army" defense look precarious.

Those who are interested will find that this is all the changes brought about by Descartes' return to the front line.

He's not a midfielder in the traditional sense, he's not a serious striker, he's not very fast, he's only mid-range, and he's not the highest number of passes and catches in the whole team, but he's made a qualitative change for the whole team.

He is like a bottle of lube up front, he can flow wherever he is needed, he can direct the direction of the team's attack with excellent awareness, he can also break the opponent's iron wall with his knotty passes, and the most amazing thing is that as long as the football is at his feet, it is as if it is being controlled by a sophisticated machine, and it can always be where it should be.

If someone were to do the math with a supercomputer after the game, they would be surprised to find that for the most part, Descartes' handling of the ball would be the best supercomputer could have calculated.

That's talent.

You don't have to have the eyes of an eagle, the ears of a wolf, the speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear to be a superhero.

In fact, the change in Descartes' position was also referred to by the Italian press after this game as "when Caesar crossed the Rubicon".

In 49 BC, the Roman Senate demanded that Caesar relinquish his position as governor of Gaul and return to Rome to report on his duties. Caesar came to the Rubicon with his army, and according to Roman law, no commander was allowed to cross the Rubicon with his troops, otherwise he would be guilty of treason.

Caesar lingered for a long time by the Rubicon, and then said to his army: "After crossing the river, it will be a human tragedy, and if I do not cross the river, I will destroy myself." ”

Caesar then crossed the river with his army and stormed the city of Rome.

Four years later, the Roman Civil War ended, and Caesar became Rome's "lifelong scholar" and unified the entire Roman Empire!
