Chapter 164: Defensive Counterattack
In the final of the Shijie Cup, Belgium actually led Italy, look at the time, now the game has just started fifteen minutes, not only this goal, in the previous ten minutes of the game, Belgium also suppressed Italy on the field, the Italian team except for Totti's shot, there is no bright spot in the attack, in comparison, the Belgians obviously want to do better.
When the Belgians' celebration ended and the game resumed, the Italian team still didn't look good, Lippi seemed to want to muddy the water through the continuous impact of Totti and Camoranesi in the middle, as well as Perrotta's tireless running, but unfortunately it was not successful, and the only few set-piece attacks, and because of Degan's repeated orders before the game, the Belgian team raised their vigilance and returned in vain!
Italy's attack was a little monotonous, while Belgium's side played vigorously, fighting back while maintaining a solid defence.
The original defensive counter-attacking tactics are the essence of Italian football, and the Italians can be said to be very handy with this tactic, this formation focuses on defending first and then waiting for the opportunity to counterattack the opponent.
This style of play can be said to be very smart, first of all, solid defense. The large number of people in the midfield and the small gap leave little room for the opponent to play. And their own players can effectively defend the incoming ball from a short distance. Doing so can not only save the physical strength of the players, but also effectively attract the opponent's attacking players to go deeper.
And the opponent cannot play an effective offensive organization when the number of people in the front court is not superior. And once the number of attacking players in the front court is increased for the sake of attack, the backcourt will inevitably be empty.
At this time, once the defending side gets the ball, it will pass to the players of the opposing side in time, and the defensive formation at this time will immediately change to an offensive formation, that is, from 451, 532 to 352 or 343. Achieve the advantage of the number of opponents in the field in an instant and give the opponent a fatal blow.
Italy's defensive counter-attack?
The reason for this is that Italy's midfielders are talented and can quickly and effectively find their teammates in the front line, and the forwards are strong, so they can create opportunities.
Previously, they defeated the Ukrainian team 3:0 in the quarterfinals, ending the miracle created by the new Shijie Cup team in the German Shijie Cup, and the Italian team defeated the Ukrainian team with a defensive counterattack style similar to a teaching film.
The match proved that the Italian team's defensive solidity and sharp counter-attacking style of play were exemplary compared to the Swiss team's rigid tactics. The win brought Italy's unbeaten run in international competitions to 23.
Before this game, although the Italian team had a number of main players such as De Rossi, Nesta, and Materazzi who could not play due to suspensions and injuries, and their strength was damaged, the team played at the highest level since the start of the game under the leadership of Buffon, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Totti, Toni and other main players. They were close to perfection defensively and offensively, convincing the Ukrainians.
In the middle of the game, it would be a nightmare to let Italy score first. Any Italian team that plays normally has this strength, and it has the strength to give the opponent such a nightmare.
Italy's counter-attacking style is unlike any other team. This is mainly reflected in the way of counterattack.
Some people say that Spain is the master of passing. However, Italy's passing, in no way, was inferior. When it comes to long passes, Italy can be said to be the most accurate, this is not the gap between the players, but the Italian defensive counterattack tactics require, the heyday of the Italian team, any backfield player, can launch an accurate long pass. And this kind of long pass is not vague, not lucky, but strategic, accurate, and safeguarding. Therefore, Italy's counterattack was the most effective.
In addition to long passes, Italy's counterattack also has a unique secret, that is, Italian running. This kind of running position is a complete set of indoctrination system that has been developed after long-term accumulation and starting from child players, and every player will undergo such training. Therefore, Italy's counterattack is often an intellectual problem, and often before the goal is scored, you can't guess the way of scoring the goal, and you can't guess the route of the ball, because this is Italy's running position, which makes it difficult for the opponent to predict.
This kind of unpredictable, and sometimes, is not even the effect that the player deliberately wants, but the habitual football thinking that precipitates in the subconscious of every player. Italy's counterattack, Italy's penetration, often a few shots in an instant, have already taken the opponent's head.
More can only be understood, not spoken, not verbal, not verbal.
What should I do if I concede the goal first?
It doesn't matter, the Italians, there has never been a shortage of foot jishu. Those who think the Italians are rough are very wrong. It's just that the innate character of the loose Italians leads to the fact that Italians can't concentrate and can't concentrate on their feet, so they are often cut off. But the Italians were not afraid, they understood, how, to counterattack on the offensive.
When conceding the ball first, the Italian, having no choice, had to attack.
However, the Italians' attack is very different from that of any other team. They don't run crazy and besiege, but they always start from the back, always give the opponent a chance to attack, give the opponent space, and of course, get space for themselves. At this time, destruction has become the main way, at this time the Italians, will lure the opponent to attack, so that the opponent feels that there is a gap, in the midfield, or even in the backfield, to carry out offensive counterattack tactics in the destruction and robbery, it seems, are destruction, are interception, but, this time is different, this counterattack, not a defensive counterattack, but, offensive counterattack, after luring the opponent out, for the striker to open up space, this time of counterattack, do not need much, often a few times can create opportunities, or even take the lead.
Defensive counterattack, offensive counterattack, the commonality, is that the midfield remains the same, whether it is the first goal, or the first goal conceded, the midfield is always the same, always give the opponent a chance, even if it concedes, still give the opponent a chance.
Some people say that the Italian team has no midfielder and is always busy at both ends, either attacking or defending. In fact, this is also where the Italians are cunning, allowing the opponent to play out, so that the opponent can see hope, in fact, a deadly counterattack is already brewing.
Of course, all this, first of all, Italy is very confident in their defense.
Let the opponent, when he sees hope, the city gate is lost. This is Italian football.
Italian football, some people say, is a conspiracy, the football of a group of conspirators, which anyone who knows the ball will approve of.
It's just that this group of conspirators is very tenacious, or rather, a group of conspirators who can't run to death.
Of course, the counter-attack is only one of the best ways for the Italian team, or one of the ways of playing. And this style of play is definitely not monopolized by Italy, and Italy's defensive counterattack will never dominate the world forever.
Speaking of dominating the world, how to say it, it should be said that Italy's defensive counterattack, tactically, traditionally, and DNA, there is no doubt that it must dominate the world.
However, Weishenme said that it is impossible to dominate the world forever, that is because the players of each national team are different, and the gap between the players has led to the effect of "defensive counterattack" play, of course, there must be a gap.
Therefore, in each edition of the Italian team, the effect of the defensive counterattack is different, and the senses are also different.
Don't one-sidedly distinguish the "defensive counterattack" tactics from the naked eye, Italy's "defensive counterattack" is not mentally retarded, not SB, not everyone can see it at a glance, Italy's defensive counterattack is everywhere, but it is hidden relatively deep, and it is not so obvious to be perceived.
Di Gan would not think that the Italians were cowardly, they couldn't play, and after two years in Serie A, he knew the Italians very well, they were just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity that could kill them with one blow.
When that opportunity comes, Italy will show their minions and then tear the Belgian defence to shreds.
All Belgium has to do now is concentrate and not give the Italians this opportunity to keep the pace of the game going.
However, those commentators in suits and ties do not have such deep considerations, they explain the game, but purely from the scene, it seems that the Italian team is suppressed.
"The Italians seem to be scared in front of the Belgians, they look timid, and there are very few opportunities for football to get into the 30-metre zone of the Belgian team! Lippi should make some changes, especially in Totti's position, he seems to be completely out of shape! It always feels like you're preoccupied! ”
Totti is really out of form, in fact, he has been out of form since the Shijie Cup game, and the match against Australia was a rare good game for him, but it was only 30% of the game.
Before the start of the Shijie Cup, Totti had announced that it would be his first international tournament, and after the German Shijie Cup, he would retire from the national team to concentrate on playing for Roma.
Lippi was also clearly unhappy with Totti's performance, with Andrea Pirlo being the playmaker and the finisher and transporter of Zuihou's passes, but so far he has not seen Totti's role at all.
Pirlo had a couple of good passes, but unfortunately Totti couldn't get to the point and went to waste.
The time of the game passed minute by minute, and on the whole, the performance of the Italian team, Lippi was basically satisfied, at least his tactics, as well as the essence of Italian football, and the players on the field showed very well.
Now it's just a goal!
Italy need to score, Belgium need to score, they need to seal the win. 、
Although Deegan was still running, his speed was obviously getting slower and slower, and he even made mistakes on a few stoppages, and the injury to his left leg made it difficult for him to play 100%.
He had to score another goal to extinguish Italy's hopes of a comeback and seal the win before he could get a break.
Deegan was trying to find opportunities to attack, and gradually affected his teammates, and the Belgian team's formation began to gradually xiangshang.
If it were in normal times, Degan would definitely remind his teammates to stay in formation and keep the distance between the three lines, but now he can't help it.
He could feel that his body had reached its limit and that he had to make a decision about the match.
Gul cut off Totti's pass, and the Belgian team immediately picked up the speed and suddenly pressed up, so fast that the Italian team could not build a second line of defense, and could only concentrate the defensive forces at the edge of the penalty area.
Digan got the ball, Materazzi met him, his teammate Gattuso at AC Milan also pounced from the side behind, Digan observed the position of the two men, and made a gesture to break through, but suddenly passed the ball out covertly, Materazzi was caught off guard and wanted to break the ball with his foot, but he was slightly slow.
Mponsa Jr. received the ball on the line of the penalty area, looked behind him, and saw that Digan had already run over, with Materazzi behind him, and his heel was back.
Deegan met the ball and shot directly with his feet, but before he could kick the ball, the whole person flew up and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, Antienes, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but be frightened, rushed to the sideline in a few steps, stretched his neck, and wanted to see how Digan was doing.
Fortunately, Degan quickly stood up, and Antienes was a little relieved.
Everything happened very quickly, just as Degan was about to shoot, Cannavaro suddenly rushed from the left side, made a vicious tackle, and intercepted the ball, but Cannavaro's tackle was very clean, and even deliberately avoided Degan's injured left leg, only after breaking the ball, he took Degan down.
Counterattack!
The camera was still focused on Degan's body, wanting to see how he was hurting?
Seeing that Deegan stood up on his own, he immediately went to catch the football again, and at this moment the football had passed through the half-court and passed right to Pirlo's feet.
After Pirlo received the ball, he made a long pass and hit the ball into the penalty area, and Gul, who pounced, quickly jumped up to intercept it, but Pirlo did not enter his wish, but kicked the ball through and hit the ball behind the Belgian defense.
At the beginning of the game, Totti, who was not in the groove at all, suddenly started, received the ball behind him, took advantage of the momentum, and then drilled through the gap between Kompany and Van Bitten.
"Danger! Totti is in the box! Ploto strikes! ”
The Belgian commentator exclaimed loudly, while the Italian commentator squirted hormones.
"Opportunity! Francisco. Totti! It was as if he had disappeared from the pitch today, but he showed up at the most crucial moment, Kompany and Van Bitten couldn't stop him, and Totti shot ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
"Spoon! It's a spoon! Totti scores! A nice spoon shot! Totti proved to everyone that as long as he was on the pitch, even if he disappeared for 89 minutes, he could change the game if he was given a chance! ”
The Italian commentator sang praises to Totti without discipline, knowing that just a minute ago, he was still spraying at Totti, and even thoughtlessly suggested that Lippi should replace Totti as soon as possible and let De Rossi, who are in more form, play, and even suggested that the Sensi family, who are in charge of Roma, should not renew Totti's contract because he is finished.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, Yoneda Gong, who had just been pulled out, sat back again by him without falling at all, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating, as if the person who was spewing feces just now was not him.
Even an elegant Totti could no longer control his passion for scoring on the stage of the Shijie Cup, and after confirming that the goal was in, he ran to the sideline with a wild shout, where the Italian substitutes were already waiting.
Totti's handsome face became a little hideous at this time, which was rare in the past, even in the season when Roma won the championship, when Totti scored a crucial goal, he still had a gentlemanly smile on his face and calmly accepted the worship of the fans, but this time, he could not be calm.
This is the final stage of the Shijie Cup, and he scored the crucial goal that brought Italy back to life!
Digan, who was originally planning to chase back, also stopped at the moment, crossed his waist, and looked at the Italians who were frantically celebrating the goal, he didn't feel frustrated, in fact, this lost goal will come back sooner or later, since Belgium has already gambled, it must be mentally prepared to lose.
Lippi saw the goal, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but the cultivation kung fu he had cultivated over the years was not comparable to Totti, and his coaching staff members were jubilant, but he just clenched his fists and turned back to the coach's box.
It's the Italian fans' turn to go crazy in the stands, they have been pressed by the Belgians just now, and they don't even have a chance to make a sound, and now they can finally release themselves.
Just now the stands were still fiery red, but now it has become a dark blue, this is football, there is no eternal winner, this is football, until the moment the game ends, no one knows who will laugh zuihou.
Look at the time, it's just thirty-five minutes, and there is still a chance, but it was just equalized!
Deegan doesn't feel like that, he has confidence in himself, since he can break Fontaine's record in a single Shijie Cup, then he can keep refreshing it, and those who want to challenge it in the future are desperate.
Deegan thought that he was about to walk towards the center line, but as soon as his left foot landed, he suddenly felt a piercing pain, and for a moment, half of his body was numb.
