Chapter 189: Overdrawn Inzaghi, Difficult Victory
Gattuso's ability to entangle people is a dream, this thing's offensive ability is average, but his defensive attainments, especially in stalking people, are quite talented.
Beckham faced this villain, he could only rely on his own rhythm to confront the other party, but the other side was not false to himself at all, if he wanted to play rhythm, he would stick to you, so Gattuso's defense against him was tighter.
The title of Gentilla's dog skin plaster should be given to this goods, Beckham wants to cry now, but the other four players have also been taken care of to varying degrees, although it is an equalizer, but the situation on the field is still confusing.
In the audience, the eyes of Brassie and Canalis have been staring at Inzaghi, this World Cup Inzaghi is wearing the No. 10 jersey, and he has not lived up to the expectations of this number, and now he is completely pushing Italy forward alone, Brassi and Canalis are thinking in their hearts, no matter what this World Cup is, Inzaghi's influence is probably doubling in the whole world, which is Vieri, Totti can't compare.
Fontana was right next to the two of them, and for these two women, she really didn't have a very good impression.
"You two, can you stop in moderation, do you know that your boring entanglements will only affect Pippo's state, and besides, he has no interest in you at all." Fontana still didn't hold back the anger in her heart, and fired directly at the two women.
"I think if you get into a marriage contract with Pippo, maybe we can win the championship, after all, you're just a woman who relies on him to get eyeballs, and you don't know anything about football." Brassie wasn't scared of Fontana at all.
Fontana was so angry that she couldn't do it. If it weren't for the public, I would have taught these two shameless guys a long time ago.
Cheryl pulled down the corner of Fontana's coat at this time. Fontana just calmed down, maybe Fontana felt this way. Only Cheryl knows best, obviously her fiancé has her own, but she is still disconnected from other women.
After 30 minutes, Inzaghi voluntarily withdrew to the back, leaving Piero up front to form a double striker with Vieri.
Nie Huan doesn't know why, looking at this Inzaghi, he always overlaps with that 94-year-old Baggio, both of them are No. 10, and they all have that handsome face. You can give everything for the team's victory, and Inzaghi may be the real successor to Baggio.
His style of play has changed dramatically recently, just look at Shevchenko at the club, how unhappy he was with Inzaghi before, but now if anyone wants to separate him from Inzaghi, he will definitely be anxious with the other party.
Although Inzaghi's organizational skills are not as good as Baggio's, he has also improved significantly this season, which may be due to the influence of his little butterfly.
Towards the end of the first half, Inzaghi suddenly cut off the ball at the feet of Ashley Cole at the back. Then a through ball went straight to the box, and it was Vieri again, who chose to volley this time, and it was quite accurate. The ball rushed towards He-Man like a cannonball, and He-Man didn't dodge, he chose to face it. He pounced on the ball, but it hit the post and bounced off the goal. 2:1 Italy took the lead again.
In this World Cup, when the first half is about to end, this time period is always magical. There are usually goals scored during this time.
Trapattoni raised his arms and shouted, Totti in the audience looked like a dead face, without his own Italy actually played such a match, when did Inzaghi become so strong.
Vieri and Inzaghi hugged again, and the nightclub Ono never hanged himself from a tree, so his relationship with Inzaghi gradually changed as the game progressed.
Fontana kept shouting for Inzaghi in the audience, as did the other two women. According to the trajectory of history, without Vieri, George Clooney should soon appear and become the new Canalis boyfriend.
But because of his appearance, Inzaghi was changed, and the whole history was completely distorted, and Inzaghi became an emperor superstar, another Italian emperor superstar after Baggio. And if Italy wins this World Cup, then he will reach the peak of his life.
Ashley Cole can't be blamed for this goal at all, because Inzaghi is still as strong as ever in the midfield position, which is something that no one else can learn, this is a complete talent, and the only ones who can do this to the extreme in football history are him and Romario.
The Italians arrived in the dressing room with excitement and England's players weren't too frustrated, with the win over Brazil lifting everyone's mood.
Nie Huan has a headache, and he has the same headache as head coach Worrall, if Italy enters the final, this game will be more difficult than France, and if it is England, it is better to say.
Italy is now on three fronts, showing a completely different face without Totti. Of course, they are not without their hidden concerns, such as Inzaghi's physical reserves.
At the beginning of this World Cup, Trapattoni completely regarded him as a superman. The offensive organization depends on him, and Piero, on the other hand, Totti has completely become a dispensable role, this time there is no Totti, and the Italian frontcourt attack is smoother, which makes Trapattoni more determined to have the idea in his heart, block, completely block this goods. There's Inzaghi anyway. "Nie, if you play against Inzaghi now, you have a good chance of winning." Worrall wanted a clear answer. "Two points, now he is not the same as he was in the League Cup final, he seems to have grown a lot during this time, it is really difficult to completely prevent him, especially now that he is not obsessed with scoring goals, which makes him even more difficult to defend, because you don't know what he will do next, you think you pass the ball, he shoots, you think he shoots, he passes, if I can really prevent him, then I may not be able to provide much support in attack." Nie Huan's words were very low. The rest of the German squad was thinking to themselves.
"You can even deal with Zidan, and you can't deal with Inzaghi? Is he tougher than Zidan? Karn was incredulous.
"Well, yes. At least to look at me, he's a striker. But a striker who is completely different from Zidan, he does not have Zidan's flashy steps. However, his judgment and interpretation of the ball path are not available to most of our players, which makes it difficult for defenders to make any judgment at this time. Nie Huan himself didn't expect that Inzaghi could actually associate his unparalleled ball sense with the organization of the attack, and the ball he broke Ashley Cole just now is a living example, it was completely a direct steal, and Ashley Cole did not make any mistakes at all.
It seems that if you really meet Italy, this game will definitely not be easy to play, unless the other players of the German team can also have excellent prediction like themselves, and can predict the opponent's next move. Otherwise, it's going to be a really tough game.
At the beginning of the second half, England did not give up hope of recovering the score, but the Italian backline was very competitive in this game, and basically the ball reached their area, and they would be cleared, as if their area could not be entered casually.
Eriksen knew he had to make a substitution at this point, and he glanced at the bench and brought Joe Cole on to replace Lower Bart. England's four midfielders, Beckham and Paul Scholes, must not be replaced, so adjustments can only be made from the other two.
Joe Cole's midfield combing and organisational skills are still very strong, and if it weren't for too many injuries, he could have become a generation of midfield masters.
After he played. Gattuso soon found out that Beckham had less ball, and the one who got the ball was this kid who had just come up, should he give up Beckham?
Gattuso gave up on the idea anyway. This kid is not Nie Huan, and he can't make any big waves.
But soon Joe Cole made his thought break out in a cold sweat.
Fiftieth minute. Joe Cole swooped all the way down the middle to the box and then fired a volley. The ball was difficult to defuse by Buffon.
The angle of the shot was tricky, and if it wasn't for Buffon's concentration, I am afraid that this goal would have been scored.
Trapattoni, unable to hold back his anger, was on the sidelines in front of Zanetti, Gattuso and Tomasi for a burst of reprimands.
The biggest change in Italy's 433 formation is the midfield, except for Tomasi, the remaining two partners are basically playing one game at a time.
England corner, Beckham stood near the corner, looked at Buffon's position, eh it was perfect, this thing didn't even give a chance to shoot directly.
Beckham also wanted to try Van Basten's zero-degree shot, but Buffon didn't give himself a chance at all, so let's pass the point.
Beckham's corners were as erratic as ever, with Cannavaro and Maldini staring at Owen and Heskey, and everyone else staring at their defenders. The ball came to the vicinity of the penalty area and was suddenly pushed towards the goal by an England player, which was really unexpected.
The speed of the ball was very fast, Buffon couldn't do anything about it, who was the person who scored the goal, it was Joe Cole, who had just come on the pitch to help England equalize.
The goal was like this, and all the England players in the box were basically being targeted, only Gattuso was absent-minded about Joe Cole, and Joe Cole immediately gave the butcher a slap.
Gattuso was very annoyed, and Trapattoni on the sidelines completely abandoned his elegant demeanor and scolded Gattuso.
"You bastard, if you don't fight me again, believe it or not, I'll let you go home and sell fish."
Gattuso immediately got serious when he heard this, so for the next period of time, he did not forget to harass Joe Cole while defending Beckham.
The clock came to 89 minutes, and the score was still 2:2.
Inzaghi felt that his physical strength had really reached a limit at this time, but he must not fall down at this time, if he falls, then Italy is very likely to be finished, so he must not fall, absolutely not.
Inzaghi gritted his teeth and was looking for an opportunity, at a time when his fitness was at its limit and the England players were no better. So there must be a chance.
England also made changes at this time, they replaced Campbell and brought on Bridge, and Southgate, who was close to being overdrawn at this time, was still on the pitch.
That's you, Inzaghi locked on Southgate, then pounced straight up, made a good tackle, and then stole the ball again.
Bridge immediately pressed up at this time, Inzaghi did not panic, he looked at Piero in the penalty area, did not wait for Bridge's feet to reach over, he used all his strength to pass the ball, and then fell heavily to the ground, this goal must go in.
Piero received this pass, and the Prince of Biancones faced Ferdinand, and instead of choosing to hit the goal, he chose to head the ball, which was not very powerful, but the angle was more tricky, which happened to be the gap in Seaman's position.
Seaman also noticed this, he desperately went to pounce, but it was too late, the ball rolled into the door before him, 3:2, and at the end of the game, Italy took the lead again.
After Piero scored, he picked up Inzaghi, who had fallen to the ground from exhaustion, and Inzaghi had that familiar smile on his face, but now he really couldn't use any strength at all.
Trapattoni called Montella over at this time, and the glider finally got the opportunity to appear, it was not easy, and it finally came to this moment, if Inzaghi did not run out of gas, would Trappattoni continue to let himself watch the water cooler.
Eriksen's face was full of disappointment, as were the English players, and some of the England fans in the stands cried, they tried hard all but were shattered by Inzaghi's flash of inspiration, and this is the role of superstars in key moments.
With Inzaghi substituted and the clock was about to end, the England players did not give up their chance to equalise at the end, but the miracle of beating Brazil did not continue, and they still fell at the feet of the Azzurri.
The game is over, Italy beat England 3-2, they will meet Germany in the final, this semi-final is definitely Inzaghi's battle for the gods, one goal and two assists, he fully deserves the number 10 shirt he wears.
England still lost, they still did not stop the pace of Italy, but Inzaghi's physical reserves will definitely be a hidden danger for the next final.
