PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

If there were some illusions in Lemaire's mind when he conceded the first goal, then Inzaghi's goal to help Italy expand the score can be said to have completely shattered his last hope for the forward combination of Dugari and Thierry Henry!

The current situation of falling behind by two goals forced Le Maire, who insisted on trusting Dugarry and Henry, to succumb to the pressure of reality, gave up the plan to continue to give the two of them time to adjust their form, and began to transfer troops on the field, ready to make a final fight for the championship trophy in front of him!

As a result, before the game restarted, Lemaire, who had little choice, used up his three substitutions in one go. Dugarry, who had been inactive throughout the game, was replaced by Trezeguet, and Lemaire hoped the Monaco duo could spark a spark in the coming time to solve the team's current lack of attack; Robert Pire, on the other hand, replaced the aged Djokaeff and took over the task of assisting Zinedine Zidane in organizing the team.

Meanwhile, the last player to come off the pitch was left-back Lizarazu, Wiltord came off the bench and Le Maire intends to strengthen the team's attack by replacing a defender and adding a striker!

The elder Maldini made targeted adjustments according to Lemaire's substitutions. Under the direction of the veteran coach, the Italians gave up the full-court pressing defensive style of play in the first few minutes after kick-off and offered their best defensive counter-attack - after all, full-court pressing can put a lot of pressure on the opponent, but it is also a big test of the physical fitness of their own players. If you don't grasp this degree well, it is very likely that your own players' physical fitness will be dragged down first, and then lose the huge advantage that has been established!

Therefore, for the Italian players, who have been playing in the European Championship for almost a month and have little physical reserves left, this full-court pressing tactic can only be used as a trick in the game, and must not be used as a regular set of tactics for the team - because they simply do not have enough physical strength to carry out this tactic!

The Gallic Army, two goals behind, launched a tidal wave of onslaught in the ensuing period, but in the face of the carefully built steel defence of the Italian side, the French attack was somewhat thunderous and rainy. Maldini and Zambrotta kept an eye on the opposing Wiltord and Pire, guarding them from dribbling into danger; Henry and Trezeguet were dealt with separately by Nesta and Materazzi, the former's superb defensive skills were quite restrained and Henry, who had not yet fully matured, and the latter's strong defense and better physical elements made Trezeguet, who was good at grabbing points in front of goal, very difficult to attack; Zidane was encircled and suppressed by the entire Italian midfield, although the skilled French were not afraid of this, but in the face of the non-stop harassment of the Italians, even Zizou in the prime of life will inevitably feel a little tired.

Despite the lack of optimism on the pitch, the Frenchman went all out to create a couple of good scoring chances in the days that followed.

In the 65th minute, Zidane broke through the defense of Totti and Albertini in the middle and sent a through ball, and Henry, who was faster in terms of speed, received the pass in front of Nesta with a lunge, and then picked the ball into the center of the box without the slightest pause!

Although he can't match Materazzi in terms of strength, Trezeguet bypassed Materazzi's defense with his dexterity, and then flicked his head at the oncoming ball!

Toldo continued his good form since the start of this tournament, making a standard sideways save and pressing the ball firmly under him, without giving the likes of Trezeguet and Wiltord the likes of Trezeguet and Wiltord who were eyeing the sidelines for a follow-up shot!

Four minutes later, France made a comeback, and after combining to cut off Vieri's possession, Vieri immediately distributed the ball to Pire, who then dribbled towards Zambrotta's defence!

Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry showed their competence as teammates at this point, and the two tacitly ran around Pire, effectively pinning down Di Biagio and Nesta, who tried to come forward and trap Pire, and let the two of them throw a mouse.

Covered by his team-mates, Pire broke through Zambrotta's defence with a brilliant speed change and then crossed with his feet! Trezeguet, who picked up the ball in the middle, flicked the ball past Wiltord, who was in good position, but his shot went wide of the post.

The French team's successive threats in front of goal made Maldini Sr. wary of the fact that his four defenders might struggle against Le Maire's three-striker formation (Wiltord, Trezeguet and Thierry), and the boss made a quick change: Stefano Fiore was off and Ambrosini came off the bench. After all, for Italy now, it is enough to have Albertini and Totti on the counter-attack, so Fiore's role is naturally inferior to Ambrosini, who is more defensive and more active.

Ambrosini took the field to improve Italy's midfield hardness and defensive ability, and his running and scrambling on the field greatly compressed the space for the French team's front players, forcing Henry and others to speed up the transfer of the ball to avoid being surrounded by the opposition. However, in this way, the probability of France making mistakes in the attack has naturally increased a lot, and it has also become more difficult for Trezeguet and others to directly attack the Italian backline with the ball, because it is difficult for the teammates behind them to pass the ball to their feet when the attack is more difficult!

Having said that, in addition to the command ability and tactical literacy of the coaches of both sides, as well as the strength and tacit understanding of the players on both sides, there is another point that cannot be ignored, that is, luck that seems to be the most ethereal but can always play an important role in critical moments!

In the 77th minute, Henry played a one-two with Pire on the left side of the penalty area after receiving Zidane's ball, and then cut into the penalty area with the ball, and passed the ball to the penalty spot after attracting Nesta to come forward to make up for the defense!

At this time, Zidane, who had just rushed into the penalty area, received Henry's return pass, and under the clever cover of Trezeguet, the Frenchman, who was not disturbed in any way, took a covert glance at Toldo's position, and then flicked his calf and shot the ball to the other side of the goal!

One to two! Zinedine Zidane helped France pull one back with a precise shot from 12 yards in front of goal!
