The song of Mameli sounded in a dream, and Buffon almost shouted that Italy woke up, this is the Italian national anthem, very high-pitched and loud, not to mention Italians, even Italian fans will be enthusiastic when they hear this song. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the dream, Buffon travels back to 12 years ago, in the summer of 2006 in Germany, when Buffon and his Italian team-mate lifted the Hercules Cup in Berlin, which was the most glorious day of Buffon's career.

Although the post-match focus was on the clash between Materazzi and Zidane, for Buffon, the most memorable moment for him was when he sang the national anthem before the game, when he felt his heart beat out.

12 years on, Buffon has turned from a young player to a veteran, the 40-year-old Buffon stood in front of the Italian goal for the last time, he cried once two years ago, and this time he didn't want to cry again.

After waking up, I walked to the window, opened the window, the cold air outside came in, the night in Kazan was a little cool, the hotel booked in Italy this time was a resort on the outskirts of Kazan, and in the distance was a forest, as if it was a paradise.

South Korea, Germany, South Africa, Brazil, Russia, this is the fifth country Buffon has visited.

Before coming, all the friends wished Buffon a good ending, of course, it was to get the Hercules Cup, the veteran of the Five Dynasties, if he ended his career with the Hercules Cup, the picture was too beautiful, so beautiful that he couldn't imagine it.

At breakfast, before the coach came, Florentizi and Verratti and other youngsters got together to make some jokes, Buffon was no longer involved, looking at these youngsters, Buffon just had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

When the familiar footsteps sounded and head coach Ventura walked in, the scene immediately fell silent.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning," the players responded to the manager in unison.

Buttering the bread and taking a bite, Ventura felt too quiet for the young men to be necessary.

He looked at the young Verratti, who is usually the team's pistachio, "Marko, did you sleep well last night?" ”

"It's good, it's quiet, but it's a little colder than in Italy."

"It's a little hotter during the day, though," Ventura added.

"Is there any news? You know, I don't know how to use the Internet, I'm already an ancient, and if the newspaper disappears, then I really don't know anything. ”

Verratti smiled, he would also read some news to his grandfather at home, for the elderly, no matter how they were taught, their acceptance of technology was still limited.

So the scene that would appear every morning began, and everyone took out their mobile phones to read the news to their coach.

"Russian fans and England fans are fighting again, this time in Moscow, supposedly because the English are laughing at Russia and being eliminated."

Ventura smiled slightly, "This time England has reached the quarterfinals, and it is difficult for FIFA, but this time England has gone so far." ”

Hahaha, everybody's happy, England is rising when it shouldn't be.

Another person read: "The Russian head coach has resigned, but the Football Association has not approved it, everything will have to wait until after the World Cup." ”

This should still be a matter of face for the host, Capello should be a sure thing, it's just a matter of choosing a suitable time, and both sides are decent.

The Germans said they wanted to meet Argentina in the final, and Loew recalled a wonderful memory four years ago that it was only fun to beat the best team in the world to reach the top.

"That's what we Italy promised," Ventura said domineeringly, the player also echoed his manager, Buffon didn't say anything, but his heart was the same, Germany, two years ago it was Germany that made Buffon cry, and Buffon was still holding back his breath.

"Is there any news about Messi?" Ventura knows that after beating China, Italy's opponent will be the winner of Argentina and England, and it is likely to be Argentina, so he has been keeping an eye on the news from Argentina recently.

"No, Leo is very low-key this time, probably because of the turmoil of quitting the national team two years ago, Leo said very little this time."

Ventura nodded: "But as long as Messi is in Argentina, then Argentina is the biggest favorite in the World Cup, and he is a person who can decide the game alone." ”

Verratti interjected: "What if they are eliminated by England? ”

Poof, someone laughed, Verratti was a little embarrassed, "Don't laugh, a lot of things are hard to say." ”

Ventura also said: "I think there is some truth to this, if you look at the cards, England is not weak, everything is possible. ”

"By the way, is there any news about the Chinese team, didn't Li Guo's big mouth say anything?"

"No, it's quiet, it's all the assistant coach of the Chinese team who have been training for the past few days, and Li Guo rarely appears."

"Maybe that guy is up on the hill not far away, staring at us with a telescope," Ventura joked.

"Haha, it's possible."

Buffon didn't want to say more, but he felt that his teammates and manager were a bit underestimated, so he added, "Asians are very weird, like South Korea 16 years ago. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it evoked everyone's memories, it was the most memorable battle of Italian football, the whole game Italy was blackened, and finally An Zhenhuan's header sent Italy back to his hometown.

At that time, it was the sudden death of the Golden Ball in extra time, and Buffon still remembers the scene when Ahn Jung-hwan headed the ball, as if a knife was inserted into his chest.

Ventura is also a cunning character, and he can tell that Buffon is reminding himself and his team.

"I think this is still true, since the Chinese team can reach the quarterfinals, it must also have strength, although I have analyzed, their strength is worse than ours, but football games do not depend entirely on the strength of the cards."

Everyone nodded.

Verratti was a little stupid, and he asked, "Do you mean that the Chinese will also buy the referee this time?" ”

"Hahaha," someone laughed, "the Chinese team is not the host. ”

After all, in 2002, Verratti was still young, and he had long forgotten about the process of being hacked in Italy.

Buffon spoke again, "Boss, I want to practice a penalty shootout today. ”

Ventura asked: "Are you worried about going to a penalty shootout?" ”

"The Chinese team's defense is still good, if they stick to it......" Buffon said.

This reminds Ventura what if the other side uses Italian methods against Italy? It seems that the relationship between Lippi and the Chinese team is very good, and he has to guard against it.

"Okay, let's practice the penalty shootout today."
