PS3: I would like to thank the book friend "Love the East Bear" for the tip.

Although many fans are very sorry for Inzaghi's fate, Inzaghi himself does not have such thoughts. Or rather, at this time, he has already begun to figure out how to spend a wonderful Christmas holiday with his girlfriends, and his mind is long off this game.

Capello took advantage of the halftime break to deploy troops, and Zeman's side was naturally unwilling to be lonely. Batistuta and starting centre-back Stam were also substituted at the same time, replaced by current Argentine national team striker Crespo and Brazil international Lucio. Obviously, Zeman is not very happy with the team's performance on the offensive end either.

And, unlike Capello, who needs to take care of Baggio and the emotions of the fans, Zeman, an attacking maniac, doesn't care what others think of him. In his eyes, there are only two main categories of players: those who are helpful on the offensive end and those who are not useful for attack. So if Zeman finds someone who can play a bigger role on the offensive end, then he definitely won't let that player rot on the bench.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that Zeman can discover and cultivate stars like Di Biagio, Signori and Casiracchi, so that they can embark on the road to becoming stars. Of course, for those veterans who are no longer in their prime and those defenders who can't play much on the offensive end, Zeman won't give them much to look good at.

Crespo, who was in his prime, and Lucio, who preferred to be involved in the attack, were clearly more of a preference for the Czechs than Batistuta and Stam did. Therefore, the two will get the opportunity to appear as All-Stars after the first half.

But fortunately, although Zeman is extremely heavy on offense and light on defense in terms of tactical thinking, he still managed to maintain the formation of four defenders and did not replace Samuel as a defensive gate. Otherwise, the World All-Star team will not only be a matter of attacking and defending, but there will be no defense at all.

You must know that under Zeman's tactical system, Cafu and Carlos have been used as full-backs or even wingers, and Lucio will be heavily involved in the attack in the game if nothing else. As a result, Samuel will inevitably have to take on more defensive duties in the second half of the game. It was undoubtedly a rather severe test for the Argentine defender, nicknamed "The Rock".

Sure enough, after the start of the second half, the offensive of the World All-Stars team, who replaced Crespo and Lucio, became more aggressive, and the Italian All-Stars continued to be in danger in front of the goal, making all the fans who supported this side fearful, for fear that one would accidentally be attacked by the World All-Star team.

In fact, if Buffon hadn't been in very good form this afternoon, and insisted on keeping the door open under the indiscriminate bombardment of the opponent, I am afraid that the score on the field would have changed a long time ago.

Although the World All-Stars' offense at the start of the second half caused considerable problems for the Italian All-Stars, the players were not distracted. Under the command and tacit cooperation of Nesta and others, they stubbornly resisted this tidal attack, and constantly looked for opportunities to launch a quick counterattack through Pirlo.

After all, Zeman's team must have two extremely significant characteristics, one is the breathless and crazy attack, which Nesta and others have deeply experienced; On the other hand, there is a defence that is extremely fragile and almost entirely supported by the individual abilities of defenders and goalkeepers. Therefore, if Pirlo can calm down and concentrate on defending and wait patiently for the right time, there will definitely be no shortage of opportunities to fight the opponent's counterattack.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Crespo, who received a pass from Ronaldo, turned and volleyed from 10 meters in front of the goal, but his shot was once again blocked by Buffon. Immediately afterwards, Nesta, who arrived in front of the goal in time, grabbed the ball out of the penalty area before Shevchenko's supplementary shot, and it was not Ballack and Nedved who were waiting outside the penalty area to shoot from a distance, but Pirlo, who retreated to the penalty area to participate in the defense!

After seeing that it was Pirlo who got the clearance ball, Ballack was shocked, and then immediately pounced on Pirlo, trying to stop the opponent from making the next move. After all, unlike Nedved, as Pirlo's team-mate at Fiorentina, Ballack knows all too well what this team-mate is capable of. The Germans are well aware that if they can't interfere with Pirlo in the first place, and let him pass the ball, then their backline is in danger!

Although Ballack's reflexes were fast enough and his movements were quick enough, unfortunately, he was still a step slower after all. By the time he got to Andrea Pirlo, he had already sent a long ball to the World All-Star team's half!

"Oops!" Seeing Andrea Pirlo pass the ball towards his own half, Ballack couldn't help but be shocked. You know, now they only have Samuel and Dida left in the backfield!

Although the duo of Lucio and Samuel are indeed very complementary in style, Zeman's tactical system does not give full play to their strengths on the defensive end, but blindly allows Lucio to step forward to participate in the attack, leaving Samuel alone to defend in the backcourt. So, when Pirlo instigated this quick counter-attack, Samuel was saddened to find that he had to face a group of three attacking players......

Although Samuel has earned a reputation as "The Rock" for his excellent defensive skills and consistent form, that doesn't mean he can go one-on-three, especially when he has to face Vieri, Cassano and Baggio in a combined attack, and the chances of not being able to break through are slim to none.

In the face of this extremely unfavorable situation, Samuel had no choice but to fight and retreat, carefully maintaining a certain distance from the three, and doing everything to slow down the opponent's counterattack and buy time for his teammates to return to defense.

Regarding Samuel's abacus, Vieri and the others, who had already guessed one or two in their hearts, would naturally not let him get his wish. I saw Cassano with the ball rushing towards the left side of the penalty area, Vieri accelerated along the middle, and Baggio dragged a little back to form a second counterattack line!

To put it bluntly, Vieri is using his numerical advantage to bully Samuel. As long as they pull the line apart, the Argentines will only be able to keep an eye on one of them, and the other two will get the opportunity to directly single out Dida or even hit the empty goal.

And just like that, after Vieri and Cassano had caught the attention of Samuel and Dida respectively, the ball was smashed by Cassano with his heel to the unguarded Baggio. And the melancholy prince naturally did not waste this great opportunity, and raised his right foot to make a clean push, rewriting the score on the field to 3 to 1!
