Chapter 485: Rollo Combo
PS1: This is today's first update, 86000 recommended plus more at night after work.
Galliani didn't say much, although he was very optimistic about the prospects of Nesta and Inzaghi, but he also knew that the current Fiorentina was no longer the team that was relegated under the control of Celigori a few years ago, but a purple lily blooming with brilliant brilliance!
One of the members of the G14 League, Italy's first treble, three consecutive Serie A titles, two consecutive European Champions League titles, unbeaten league season winners, unbeaten in 61 consecutive league games...... This dazzling array of accolades has been concentrated on Fiorentina, and the club has quickly grown into a powerhouse that can be compared to traditional giants such as Real Madrid, AC Milan and Juventus.
So, if you want to poach players from this team now, you not only have to invest a lot of money, but you also have to be able to afford to impress Fiorentina - they are also big clubs, why do you ask me to send good players to your team?
Galliani naturally thought of this as well, so he didn't have hope for this trip to Marseille this time, but due to the order of his boss Berlusconi, as a subordinate, he had to come here to face Zhuang Mingge's anger in person.
As Galliani expected, after another offer for Nesta and Inzaghi, he could clearly feel the anger of the other party, which was the anger that comes from feeling that his dignity has been offended.
The old and sophisticated Galliani sang to Zhuang Mingge, so after being ordered to be evicted, the bald man didn't say anything more, turned around honestly and went out, and went back to Milan to resume his life.
After ousting Galliani, Zhuang Mingge and Groz Jr. watched the match between Brazil and Italy at the Parc des Princes in Paris, where the two teams played in full swing.
Since it was a friendly game, Maldini Sr.'s attitude was more about taking the opportunity to practice and see what kind of effect the different combinations of players could have.
Therefore, in this game, Lao Ma made a significant rotation of the starting lineup, and the formation was also changed to a more active four, three, three.
Goalkeeper Toldo, the four defenders from left to right are Di Livio, Cannavaro, Materazzi and Zambrotta, the midfield trio is Albertini, Dino Baggio and Tomasi, the forward line, Pierrot is on the left, Roberto Baggio is on the right, and the center is still Vieri, the elder Maldini's favorite player.
Pierrot and Baggio, two of the nine-and-a-half players who had been at odds with their playing time at Juventus, scored a goal each in the first half to give Italy a three-goal lead over the Samba Army at the end of the first half (Aldair scored an own goal in defence).
Just when people thought that Italy could finally avenge the US Shijie Cup final this time, the Brazilian players, who were unwilling to lose, launched a ferocious counterattack.
The Rollo group, which Zagallo had high hopes for, showed its power at this time, and the agility of the lone wolf in the penalty area and the sharp individual breakthrough of the aliens made Cannavaro and Materazzi suffer greatly.
In the 57th minute, Leonardo made a free kick with Ronaldo at the edge of the penalty area, but the alien's shot hit Materazzi's calf and changed the line, and Toldo, who was guarding in front of the goal, was caught off guard and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.
Three to one, Italy has a two-goal lead over Brazil.
In the 65th minute, Ronaldo made a comeback, and the alien relied on his super individual ability to break through the defense of Di Livio and Cannavaro and break into the penalty area. Thanks to Romario's well-timed move to take Materazzi, the alien who got a single chance faced his teammate at the club Toldo and calmly pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal, rewriting the score to 3-2!
In the 78th minute, the most exciting scene of the game was staged: Ronaldo, who was dribbling the ball on the left side of the penalty area, was surrounded by Italian players, and the Brazilian was about to lose control of the ball, but the alien suddenly pushed the ball with his left foot!
Under the influence of this liliang, the ball unbelievably passed through the forest of human legs of an Italian defender and came to the feet of Romario!
The lone wolf gently picked the ball and squeezed it through the gap between Materazzi and Zambrotta!
At this time, in front of Romario, only goalkeeper Toldo remained!
Facing Toldo, who is tall and has long arms and has already sealed his shooting angle, Romario did not rush to shoot and try his luck, but used his right foot to flick the ball in this small space, and then he also slammed Xiangyou, and got rid of Toldo's defense at once!
In the face of an empty goal, Romario didn't know how to shoot anti-aircraft guns, and easily won with a push shot, bringing the score to a 3-3 draw!
Brazil unbelievably equalised after being three goals down! The news stunned many fans.
Brazil's offense and Italy's defense are famous, but the result of this spear and shield clash was that Italy's seemingly solid backline was torn to shreds by the Brazilians! This made many Italian fans feel incredible, thinking that they were dreaming.
In the Zuihou phase of the match, Materazzi repeated his old trick, and during a defense against Romario, he muttered a few words to the latter, causing the lone wolf to become furious and punch Materazzi!
Romario's punch did not cause much real damage to Materazzi, but the referee did not ignore Romario's violent act and sent him off the pitch with a red card.
After Romario's departure, the pressure on the Italian backline finally eased considerably, and it was only with the Brazilian's aggressive attack that a draw was secured.
The amazing performance of the Rollo combination naturally became the focus of the topic after the game, and the elder Maldini also seemed quite helpless when talking about this topic in an interview with media reporters: "We conceded the equivalent of two goals in this game, and the forward combination of Romario and Ronaldo is the strongest forward combination I have ever seen, and if these two continue to maintain their current competitive form in next year's Shijie Cup, then the championship trophy will be in the Brazilian's pocket." ”
The Italians' reinforced concrete defence is well known, but Brazil were able to score three goals in a row to equalise from three goals down, and if it weren't for Romario losing his mind and receiving a red card under Materazzi's teasing, the winning side would have been the Samba Army no matter how you look at it.
Therefore, the old Maldini's comments after the game and his praise of Brazil made the Brazilian team suddenly the biggest favorite to win the Shijie Cup.
In the other match of the second round, England won the Anglo-French battle with a 1-0 victory over arch-rivals France with the help of central striker Alan Shearer.
