The Italian team is a slower-paced team.

But now that they are behind, the Italian team can only speed up the attack. Before the Italian team went to the World Cup, it should be said that it was the most low-key team, and it was also one of the least optimistic teams. Because Italian football broke out in the phonegate incident that shocked the whole world of football.

There are many Italian clubs involved in phone gate, the most representative of which are the two Italian giants, Juventus and Milan.

Juventus and Milan are both the clubs that contribute the most Italian internationals.

So much so that many media reported that many players in Juventus and Milan were also involved in the phone-gate matter. If they are involved, then their careers will be affected. Maybe it's possible to quit football outright.

It is precisely because of such rumors that many people believe that Italian players should not be interested in playing.

So much so that at the start of the World Cup, no one was optimistic about the Italian team.

However, as the so-called mourning soldiers must win, the Italian team actually broke through all the way to the finals. By this time, the Italian players were working harder. It's the same in any country.

It's like Italy.

Even if the Italian team does have players involved in the phonegate, if the Italian team wins the World Cup. Then the Italian side will also give the player a light sentence, that's for sure. After all, it is to give the World Cup winner a face. If the World Cup-winning players are also involved in the phonegate and give them a heavy sentence, Italian football itself will not look good.

As a result, morale in Italy is now getting higher and higher.

As long as you win the World Cup, then there will definitely be nothing wrong with returning home.

Trailing by one goal, the Italians began to step up their attack. Although the style of the Italian team is defensive counter-attacking. But they are not without the ability to attack. On the contrary, Italy was very capable of attacking. Look at the attacking players of the Italian team right now.

Camoranesi, Tony, Totti, Pirlo, Perrotta.

The offense is still very strong. Including the two full-backs, Zambrotta and Grosso, are both full-backs with strong attacking ability. They intensified their attack. Let the pressure on France increase.

This is true for the strong teams.

It doesn't matter what style of team they are, once they start attacking. Any team needs to be careful. The same is true in France.

"Toot-"

The pressure on the defense increased dramatically, and the fouls on the French team increased.

There were more fouls, and there was no problem. But as the pressure mounted, so did the defensive maneuvers of the French players. As soon as this kind of sign came out, Jack was already feeling it.

As a good referee, you have to monitor this at all times during the game.

Just now Totti dribbled the ball and was directly knocked away by Vieira. Totti was very unhappy with Vieira's actions and stepped forward to push Vieira away. Vieira is also not good-natured, and will immediately settle accounts with Totti. At this time, Jack's whistle immediately sounded. Then it quickly inserted himself between Vieira and Totti.

First of all, we must not allow them to continue to contact and continue to confront. We need to keep them apart right away so that Jack can handle the problem.

Then he turned around and gave Vieira a yellow card.

"Jack, I don't move much."

Jack's yellow card was given to Patrick Vieira.

Vieira was displeased when he saw Jack's yellow card stand. Vieira didn't think his action was too big, and it was a normal foul. But Jack ignored Vieira's complaint and instead asked Vieira to come over.

"Patrick, calm down. This is the final. ”

Jack vs. Vieira. There are no preconceptions about the other players. But what Jack has to do is control the game. At the beginning of the game, Zambrotta was given a yellow card to keep the players calm.

It worked very well.

However, when France scored the penalty, the Italian players were out of balance. Or rather, the Italian players were in a hurry to equalize. Therefore, the mentality is a little anxious. And the French players defended Italy's attack, and the action also increased.

It's a point in time.

Jack had to stop the current signs.

Find an Italian player and give them a yellow card warning. That's not good. Now the Italian players are already a little dissatisfied with the referee because of the penalty. At this time, Jack gave the Italian players a warning. Not a very good choice.

Instead of giving a yellow card to a French player, it can not only warn the players on both sides. It is also possible to slightly balance the dissatisfaction of the Italian players. Let them focus more on the game.

This scale is difficult to grasp.

The referee of a normal heavyweight match rarely does so. Because for them, as long as they complete a game without mistakes, then it has been very successful.

They don't bother thinking about this and that.

Including Corina back then.

But Jack didn't think so. Jack wants a perfect World Cup final. It's not just a game without too much controversy, but hopefully a smooth game, a classic game.

So Jack needs to take into account all the thoughts of the players on both sides.

So at this time, Jack showed a yellow card and warned Vieira. Then Jack came to Totti's place and said to Totti, "Francesca, watch your temper. Although Vieira fouls, you shouldn't go up and push people. It's a warning, and if there's a next time, you should know what the outcome will be. ”

Jack was afraid that Totti would make some irreversible moves.

This guy doesn't have a bad temper at all.

If Totti had just pushed Vieira down, how would Jack have been penalized at that time. If Totti is sent straight down, then what is the point of this World Cup final.

But if the time comes, then there will definitely be a debate after the game.

So Jack was very glad that he had just intervened between the two of them in time. But it didn't cause much of a deal, but of course Jack was there to warn Totti.

In this way, it also tells the current impatient Italian players to pay attention to their temper.

Timing of a yellow card is very important.

In calm times you have to be stingy with your cards, and if you show a yellow card for a foul that is not serious, it will baffle the players and make the team unhappy with you. But after the anger of the players comes up, you show a yellow card again, which will only add fuel to the fire. Let the anger of the two sides get bigger and bigger, and in the end, the referee will definitely not be able to control the game.

Therefore, it is a matter of timing when playing cards.

Just when the two sides are showing a little sprout, directly cut off the sprout, which is the most appropriate method.

Jack did a great job.

When the Italian players started to get impatient and the French players started to move bigger, a yellow card and a warning from Jack made the signs disappear immediately. Once again, the two sides focused on the game.

France and Italy, these are the best teams in the world.

The superstars are clustered and the coordination is very good. When both sides concentrate on the game, the game is getting more and more exciting. The two sides are back and forth, and neither team is a fast-paced team. But now the balls of both sides are in the French penalty area one minute, and the next minute they are in the Italian penalty area.

Jack relieved himself slightly.

As long as the players on both sides focus on the game, then there will be no problems in the game. All I have to do as a referee is to make the game more fluid. Therefore, Jack was completely prepared to be stealthy when the two sides attacked.

"Pirlo, long pass...... Camoranesi, Camoranesi's cross was touched by Abidal off the line. It was a corner and Pirlo came up. ”

"Pirlo, Pirlo takes a corner...... Materazzi, Materazzi! ”

"Materazzi! Materazzi! Materazzi—"

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

'Materazzi scored the goal against Patrick Vieira. Materazzi, Materazzi will be punished. At the beginning of the game, it was his recklessness that gave France a penalty. However, he atoned for his sins with this header and Italy equalised. ”

'It's 1-1, it's only 26 minutes of the first half. Both sides have already scored two goals and it was a very good game. With more than sixty minutes left in the game, there is still plenty of time for both sides to score. ”

Equalize.

This is the fan-favorite situation.

If France continue to lead, then the game will definitely not look good. Because the strongest thing about the French team is the defensive ability. When they won the World Cup and the European Championship in succession, the French team's defense was the best in world football. Now the back of Vieira and Makelele is not the first midfield combination in this World Cup, but it is definitely one of the best combinations in defense.

If France is allowed to defend and counterattack, there are Henry and Ribery in the front, so the more back the French team will be more conservative. Then the game is very unsightly.

It's good now.

Italy equalised and the race was back on the same starting line. In this way, the game will be more and more exciting.

With Italy's equaliser, the mentality of the Italian players is also becoming more and more stable. The French team is originally a stable team, and the French team is mostly veterans. And they are countless players with more titles, so they won't have any problems.

Although the pace of the two sides is getting faster and faster, there is no big move, and there are no other problems. It's all a game of the best effort, all kinds of subtle attacks, excellent defenses are endless. This makes Jack's law enforcement more and more comfortable.

Even for the twenty minutes of the second half of the first half, Jack was rarely seen in front of the camera.

Almost completely gone.

Fans don't pay attention to those. Because fans are paying attention to the performances of stars such as Zidane, Thierry, Totti, Pirlo, and Vieira. But the referees who watched the game today, as well as the football commentators, were quite surprised by Jack.

Excellent.

Being able to decisively award a penalty at the start of the game, and only using just two yellow cards for the entire first half, made such a heavyweight game so fluid. This kind of technique is definitely the highest level of refereeing. (To be continued......)
