Chapter 361: Battle of Italy

"Cut, say you're fat and you're really gasping! Haha, don't talk about these useless things, let me first introduce you to the starting lineups of both sides today!

With Andrea Pirlo and Gattuso suspended today, Italy's coach Donadoni had to replace Ambrosini and Aquilani for the two players. Elsewhere, Italy hasn't changed much.

The goalkeeper is still No.1 Gianluigi Buffon, with Zambrotta, Panucci, Chiellini and Grosso at the back.

In midfield, I've just mentioned Aquilani, Ambrosini, De Rossi, Perrotta.

Cassalo and Toni up front!

Well, it's worth mentioning here that fans who usually like to watch Italian games should know how important Andrea Pirlo is to Italy!

So, if Italy want to get the advantage of this game against England today, I think the first urgent thing they need to solve is who will replace Pirlo's role on the field!

After looking at this starting line-up, I wondered, perhaps, De Rossi from Roma, who is most likely to play the role of a stand-in for Pirlo!

As for whether De Rossi can perfectly replace Pirlo's role on the field, this will have to be seen with the development of time!

Also, let's take a look at England!

Similarly, England coach McClaren did not make any major adjustments in this game!

The goalkeeper is still Robinson.

On the back line, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Leo Ferdinand, Gary Neville lined up in order!

Well? Look, McLaren made some changes in the selection of midfielders today!

Replace Gerrard, who is very good at grabbing points in front of goal, with Gerrard, who is very good in front of him, looking at this way, McClaren is ready to fight a tough battle!

As for the other 3 options in the midfield, there is no change, it is still Carrick, Beckham outside the acceleration of Ma Doning!

As for the front line, it is the super combination of Owen + Li Yi, one high and one fast!

Okay, the race has begun, let's get into the race together! ”――

"Toot, toot, toot, toot,!" With the referee's whistle, the England vs Italy match kicked off.

As soon as the game came up, England changed the attitude of shrinking back when they played the only strong team in the group stage, Spain. With a resolute attacking posture of replacing Gerrard with Frank Lampard, he pulled out the stance, picked up the three-board axe, and slashed it over Italy's head with an axe, an axe!

On the other hand, on the Italian side, perhaps, after the loss of Pirlo, the absolute soul of the midfielder, Italy's attack will be slightly insufficient, and after the lack of Gattuso, a world-class midfielder, the interception ability of the midfielder has also dropped a notch!

But look at the Italian backline, it's an absolutely first-class reinforced concrete line! It is called the best defense line in the world, and there will definitely be no one who will say half a word!

After withstanding England's onslaught in the opening minutes, it was not long before Italy organized their own, quick counter-attack!

However, when Italy eased up and began to counterattack, as long as the fans who know a little bit about the ball, it is not difficult to see that after the dispatch of Pirlo, the brain, of the midfielder, Italy is not a sharp attack, and it has dropped another notch, from the world's second-rate to the world's third-rate!

It is true that the world-class defense can withstand England's attack, but Italy's world's third-rate attack, it is undoubtedly not easy to break through England's not very strong, but it is not weak!

Therefore, the game slowly and slowly evolved into a tug-of-war between the two sides near the midfield, constantly you foul me to steal, and I steal after you foul!

Before you know it, the game is 20 minutes long!

In the last 20 minutes, except for Beckham's free kick 35 meters away from the goal, both sides, very pit the fans, did not have a single shot on goal!

Well, football matches, what do fans watch? Isn't it just a goal? At this time, the two sides don't talk about scoring, they don't even have a shot, that scene, in fact, there is no need to say more! It can be summed up in one word - the person who looks at it is called a drowsy!

As the Premier League Golden Boot this season, Li Yi, who has almost booked the Golden Boot of this Cup after the group stage, was very honored to be the one who woke up the audience when the game was 22 minutes into the game!

In the 22nd minute of the first half of the game, Li Yi received the iconic full moon scimitar cross from Beckham's right side, and completed the game to the current position, the two sides are the most threatening, and it is also the most recent offensive close to shooting!

At that time, it was Frank Lampard who quickly got the ball to David Beckham near the halfway line after tackling the ball at De Rossi's feet in midfield!

Beckham only ran 5,6 meters with the ball, and soon passed the ball to the front line through a direct pass, resisting the Li Yitong shoes of Italian defender Chiellini.

Facing Beckham's pass, for the first time, Li Yi actually wanted to turn around and use the stop to wipe Chiellini's directly!

However, when Li Yi twisted his waist vigorously and was about to turn around, Li Yi suddenly found that he couldn't turn around after meowing!

Well, as a non-disabled person, why can't Li Yi control his body according to his own mind on the field?

The answer is simple: Chiellini has done it badly!

That's right, it's really a relief!

When Li Yi lowered his head, watched Chiellini use his experience and blind spots from the referee's perspective, and grabbed the two small hands in his trouser pocket, he calmed down the fury in his heart a little, and soon Li Yi insisted on turning around, but between walking away and giving up and turning around, he chose the latter!

Just kidding, even if Li Yi "committed a crime against the wind" and insisted on turning around? In case Chiellini pulls his pants, Li Yi can run and run for the time being, and the two of them say, in the future, will Li Yi still need to go out to soak his sister?

Therefore, this is not a question that Li Yi needs to think about at all!

However, if you don't stick to your own ideas and continue to turn around, it doesn't mean that Li Yi has no idea about attacking this time!

In the previous head twisting process, he had already seen that Beckham was advancing at high speed along the side after passing the ball, plus there were no defenders around him to interfere closely, so he didn't have to think about it, before and after Xiaobei's pass came to him, Li Yi pretended to be not afraid of dropping his pants and continued to turn around, but in fact, he was very thief, using the kinetic energy of turning around, the outside of his right foot and the instep of his right foot seemed to be juggling, so he flicked the ball and kicked the ball out!

“！” thought that Li Yi was going to turn around, Chiellini's small movements were small actions, and he was afraid that the referee would see it! If this is a pull-up of someone's pants and the referee sees it, the red card is light! Therefore, when Li Yi insisted on turning around, what Chiellini could actually do was to withdraw his hand quickly. As for interfering with Li Yi's pass? Forget it.

In other words, in fact, this time Li Yi's pass, even if Chiellini was not busy cleaning up his small movements, there was nothing he could do!

After all, Li Yi's big man is not made of cotton! You want Chiellini to cross the human barrier of Li Yi in a short period of time, plus complete the steal, which is undoubtedly an unrealistic thing!

Getting back to the point, but after seeing that the ball on the field was kicked back to the right side of the court by Li Yi like a juggler, Li Yi was quite lucky this time, and he was 100% perfect in passing, which is not his strong point!

Because, the ball knocked out by Li Yi was really like the accurate calculation with those precision instruments, and it happened to be impartial and fell to the feet of Beckham who was running!
