PS1: This is today's update, a little late, forgive me.
PS2: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, free books don't need to spend money, and it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~
PS3: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verify that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.
I'll you, Pierrot, you're stealing someone's head. Looking at Pierrot, who had risen from the turf and ran to the sidelines to celebrate with a happy face, Vieri had only one thought left in his mind. He didn't expect that the golden boy who used to be extremely chic on the field now has the obsession to score goals that is not inferior to Inzaghi, and he can even do things like "stealing people's heads" for this.
"It seems that the serious knee injury and the subsequent slump were not just a blow to Pierrot. The most important self-confidence and pride of being a top player is not seen in him at all. Although Pierrot robbed him of his best chance to monopolize the record, Vieri was not furious because of this, but sighed in his heart, "I really didn't expect that the aura of the zebra prince would fall to this stage because of a serious injury...... If I encounter this kind of Cheng dΓΉ's injury, I'm afraid the end won't be much better than him, right? β
But then again, it has been so many years since he recovered from that serious injury, and this guy's psychological element really doesn't seem to be very good.
So, out of sympathy for Pierrot, and the inconvenience of having a conflict with the other party in full view of the public, and letting outsiders see the jokes, Vieri temporarily suppressed this dissatisfaction with Pierrot in his heart, turned and walked towards his own half, ready for the final minutes of the game - he didn't want to see his team come to the other side in the last minute to make a shocking comeback, and give away the upcoming victory.
"Cut, do you think you're a character when you score a goal......" At the same time, Pierrot, who was watching the team's staff hugging and celebrating on the sidelines, had been replaced by Montella, and Inzaghi, who was sitting on the bench watching the game, pouted, and was very disdainful of Pierrot's expression, and could even be said to be dissatisfied, "I don't know if this guy really has no eyesight, didn't he see that we are all giving Christian a chance to score?" How dare he do that! β
Truth be told, Inzaghi has good reason to be unhappy with Pierrot's head-grabbing behavior. You must know that in this World Cup, Inzaghi also failed to score a goal, which is still the result of two consecutive starts, so the pressure on him is not much less than that of Pierrot. After all, a pure goalscorer like Inzaghi starts with the goal of scoring goals, and if he can't complete this task, then the pressure will naturally follow.
However, even in the face of such tremendous pressure, Inzaghi did not compete with Vieri for the opportunity to shoot in this game, but honestly used a lot of off-ball runs to pull space for the latter, and when there was a suitable opportunity, he would choose to pass the ball instead of forcing a shot himself...... Suffice it to say, for Vieri to have a chance to break Muller's record, Inzaghi was definitely the one who sacrificed the most tonight!
Think about it, even a guy like Inzaghi, who basically has nothing else in his eyes except for scoring, can pass the ball for Vieri wholeheartedly and pull space for him in this game, Totti, the unruly wolf king, is willing to deliver cannonballs for him behind Vieri, what kind of game do you have a Pierrot running out to stir up?
Therefore, when Pierrot ran to the Italian bench with a smile on his face, except for Iuliano, who was also from Juventus with him, and coach Zoff, who walked over to congratulate him, most of the others just got up from their seats and waved their hands casually, and did not mean to approach at all. Apparently, they also expected that Pierrot's move would incur the resentment of Vieri and his Florentine faction, so they all took the same action, either with the intention of not wanting to make enemies with the Florentine gang (such as Doni and Cocco of the junior characters), or for the sake of good friendship with Vieri and others (such as Materazzi and Toldo).
It was only then that Pierrot realized that the situation had gone a little differently. Although he expected before the goal was scored, the players of the Fiorentina family would inevitably have strong dissatisfaction with what he did, but he did not expect that even the captain Maldini was unwilling to stand up and help him at this time, and directly stood in his own backfield as an onlooker, leaving him alone!
Obviously, Maldini also thinks that Pierrot has gone too far - it is natural to feel uncomfortable that no player can resist the huge temptation to dominate the World Cup scoring record, and now that this opportunity has been ruined by Pierrot's "own man".
Noticing this, Zoff quickly took advantage of the gap to replace Vieri with Luca Toney, leaving the latter alone to enjoy the cheers and cheers from the fans, intending to distract the other party from something unpleasant on the pitch later. However, Zoff's approach didn't help, as I said before, anyone would be angry when someone robbed them of a chance to dominate the record. Moreover, his move will lead to more severe consequences......
"This idiot ......" Seeing that Zoff actually chose to let Vieri go instead of immediately replacing Pierrot, who had something bad, Zhuang Minggordon was speechless, "It's obviously Pierrot's thing, what kind of trouble are you going to make when you replace Vieri?" Isn't this obviously uncomfortable! β
Vieri obviously didn't expect the manager to let him go down at this time, and he originally planned to use the last few minutes to see if he could score another goal, but he didn't think that his manager didn't plan to give him this opportunity at all!
Thinking of this, Vieri's face couldn't help but show a little anger - although he could have thought about the overall situation and didn't turn against Pietroma before, since the manager would rather support Pierrot than let him break that close record, then there is no need for him to give the manager a good look.
Seeing Vieri walk into the players' tunnel with a cold face without even saying hello, Zoff couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't want to replace Pierrot, but the Juventus brand on the latter influenced his decision-making, and it was a distraction from Vieri that made the decision. Now it seems that this is really a bad move.
Suffice it to say, Piero's unexpected upset and subsequent ill-advised substitutions by Zoff caused a hint of discord in Italy and disgusted the rest of the players. In the following time, regardless of who organized the attack in the midfield, Pirlo and Albertini consciously bypassed the point of the Bianconeri Prince, and most of the passes sent fell at the feet of Montella and Toney, rather than to Pierrot, a guy who played as a substitute for Totti but did not organize the attack well, and was bent on scoring.
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Italy, which had intensified the contradictions within the team, defeated Mexico 3-1 in this key battle and advanced to the round of 16 of the World Cup at the last moment!
