As Nocerino's burst shot missed the goal, the Chinese fans in the stadium breathed a sigh of relief, and then everyone couldn't help but have a question in their hearts, that is, is this the Italian team?

In China, there has always been a mindset about Italy, that is, Italy's defense is very strong, and over time it seems that the Italian team does not know anything but defense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

So in this game, when Italy's attack was sharper than Brazil's, Chinese fans were confused.

Take a look at this Italian midfielder, maybe this confusion will be alleviated a little, Italy's midfielder is a diamond-shaped midfielder, those who are familiar with Serie A should be very familiar with this formation, AC Milan liked this midfield configuration the most.

The four were Montolivo, Marchisio, Nocerino, Chigarini.

Take a look at Italy's two strikers, one is Giovinco who plays for Juventus, and the other is Giuseppe Rossi, who plays in the yellow submarine in La Liga.

With such a midfield and such a striker, it is not difficult to understand that the Chinese team was pressed and beaten by Italy at the beginning of the first half.

*****

"We can only breathe with the Italians," this is Zheng Zhi's idea, now the rhythm of the game on the field is completely in the hands of the Italians, they want to speed up, they want to slow down, such a game is easy for Italy, but for the Chinese team will be very tired.

Italy's diamond-shaped midfielder is very tacit, three passes and two downs can pass the ball to the Chinese team's penalty area, and in front of the penalty area, Italian players either shoot directly or directly to the two strikers in the penalty area, in short, every time can form a certain threat.

Li Guo can only be glad that Pirlo did not come, otherwise with the exquisite footwork of "sleeping skin", then the back line of the Chinese team is now full of holes.

At this time, Li Guo hoped that Allardyce would quickly come up with an idea for him, and Big Sam was like Li Guo's intimate little padded jacket, and he really appeared, "Li Guo, the gap in the midfield of the Chinese team is too big." ”

"I know, is this a flaw in the 4231 formation? Because 4231 only has two midfielders, but the opponent's diamond-shaped midfield is varied. ”

Li Guo couldn't figure out this question, but Allardyce smiled, "If that's the case, then why did 4231 end up replacing the diamond midfielder after Euro 2004?" ”

"This ...... I don't understand," Li Guo replied honestly.

"Because there is a big problem with the defense of the diamond-shaped midfield," Allardyce then pointed to Nocerino, "Look, there is only one defensive midfielder in Italy's huge backfield, and once their fitness drops, then the defense in front of the defenders is useless." ”

Li Guo looked at Nocerino, who is currently playing in Palermo in Serie A, and Li Guo knew that he would later go to AC Milan, where he would reach the peak of his career, known as the king of Nuo in Chinese.

"Big Sam, I seem to understand what you mean, is all we need to do now is wait?"

"Yes, you understand it very quickly,"

"What if we wait for a goal instead of an opportunity?"

Sam Allardyce sweated on his forehead, "Li Guo, you have to understand that half of the football circle is strength, the other half is luck, if what you are waiting for is to lose the ball, then ......", Allardyce did not say any more.

"Okay,"

Then Li applauded from time to time, jumped around, and sometimes praised the players on the field, in short, he wanted to pose like a big-name coach, but in fact, he was very nervous at this time, and on the other hand, he was also looking forward to the decline in the physical fitness of the Italian team.

*****

Giovinco.

Whether it's for Juventus or the Italian national team, it's a sad player.

Nicknamed Atomic Ant, Giovinco has first-class skills and speed, but at this time he was furious, not because the Chinese team's defense was too strong, but because his teammates did not pass the ball to him.

He yelled at Marchisio: "What a pass, what a chance." ”

But Marchisio also has his own ideas, the Chinese team's defense is shrunk in the penalty area, and there are fewer defenders in the arc of the penalty area, on the other hand, Marchisio is confident in his long-range shooting ability.

After a long-range shot, Marchisio will need to run again, and the next attack will be for Montolivo, and the diamond midfield has been changing.

Just when the Italian diamond-shaped midfield changed and was not arranged, the accident happened, Chigarini lost the ball, and it was the Chinese team's midfielder Fang Suo who broke the ball from his feet.

Fang Suo was about to pass the ball to Zheng Zhi, but Zheng Zhi directly pointed to Chen Green on the front line, meaning to pass directly, don't pass me.

Zheng Zhi knew that the Italian team was very quick to make up for the defense, and at this time the offense should not be dragged with mud and water, Fang Suo pushed straight forward, penetrating the diamond-shaped midfield of Italy, and Nocerino, who was dragging at the back, was useless at this time.

But Italy's defensive quality is really powerful, the fence tied up by the four defenders is very layered, Chen Green noticed it before he got the ball, so the moment he touched the ball, Chen Green did not stop the ball, but crossed his legs on the ball, and the ball drilled through Chen Green's crotch like this, like drilling a cave.

Chen Green's leak can be described as a brain-opening, not to mention the Italian Olympic team, that is, the Italian team that won the World Cup in 2006, it is estimated that there is nothing to be done about this ball, the ball leaked to the feet of Sun Jihai who was inserted on the side, Jihai nudged the far corner, goalkeeper Sirigu whip is out of reach, and the ball is in!

*****

After the goal, Sun Jihai ran 50 meters and rushed towards Li Guo, like a dive bomber, flying high and falling heavily.

Li Guo knew that this guy pounced on him, it must feel uncomfortable, but there was no way, as the coach of the national football team, Li Guo had no way to hide.

Fortunately, Sun Jihai's weight is not large, and in the end, Li Guo just took a few steps back, if Yin Di smashed it, then Li Guo would have to take it easy!

While the Chinese team was celebrating wildly, the Italian side fell into mutual complaints, the forward line complained that the midfield was not strong, the midfielder complained that the defense was not good, and the goalkeeper Sirigu complained that the whole team was too loose.

World champion Italy got into a small crisis because of the goal. But this ball made Li Guo understand why the diamond-shaped midfielder was finally replaced by 4231, and indeed that kind of position was too unleveled.

At the critical moment, Italy's coach Casirazzi stood up and stretched out four fingers at the disciples in the stadium, the meaning was very clear, the four midfielders stood in parallel, and after the change of formation, Italy's formation was exactly the same as when their national team created a miracle in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

And Casirazi's purpose is clear, to replicate the miracle of the national team at the Olympics.
