Chapter 1253 - Serie A All-Stars (6)
PS1: This is today's update, a little late, I hope you don't care too much about the update time, and I promise that I won't break the update......
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.
At the same time as Corina announced that the goal was valid, the stands of the Olympic Stadium burst into deafening cheers!
At this moment, both the fans of the World All-Star Team and the supporters of the Italian All-Star Team are giving the warmest applause and heartfelt cheers for Barty's goal!
You know, for Batistuta, who is already 34 years old and has suffered a serious decline in form, his days on the pitch can be said to be numbered. Therefore, Barty goals like this are destined to become fewer and fewer in the future, and once Barty chooses to retire in the near future, fans will have to relive their old dreams from videotapes or online videos if they want to see Barty goals again.
This is not alarmist. After all, since the beginning of this season, the Argentine god of war has made a total of eight appearances for Inter Milan, but the number of goals is a pitiful zero, and he is not as good as Martins and Caron, two young people, let alone competing with Crespo for the main position.
So, no matter how you look at it, Batistuta's career is already in the countdown stage.
It is precisely because of this that many fans who missed this scene for various reasons feel regretful at the moment. While they could relive the goal in slow motion, or by going home and downloading the footage of the game after the game, it would be a huge shame for these fans not to see the whole process of scoring in person.
"It was a beautiful goal." At this time, Robert Baggio also walked up and congratulated the former teammate and old buddy, "Looking at the form you showed in today's game, I think Gabriel can think about playing a few more seasons, and you don't have to be in such a hurry to retire at all." ”
Since he and Barty worked together when he played at Fiorentina and Inter Milan, and the two are also very compatible in personality, the personal relationship between Baggio and Barty is naturally quite good. So, Robert Baggio is one of the people who know about some of Barty's decisions that have not yet been announced to the public, such as his intention to announce his retirement this year or next summer.
"Haha, Robert, this is not the place to talk, let's talk after the game." Batistuta did not respond immediately to Baggio's words, but simply smiled and skipped the topic. After all, the Argentine God of War has quite a good idea of his current physical condition and state. He clearly knows that he can no longer adapt to the intensity and rhythm of the Serie A game, and it is almost impossible to play like he used to.
That being the case, there are only two paths left for Barty. One is to leave Italy to play in a low-level league, such as Qatar or the United States, where not only the level of football is not high, the intensity of confrontation is not great, but also there is a high salary to be paid, which is very suitable for some veterans to earn a pension before retirement; The second is to directly announce his retirement, saving himself from being complained by fans because of the decline in state that he did not play his due role.
After all, most fans are forgetful in this regard. If they find out that a player is being paid a lot of money but is not very useful, then that player will be criticized very harshly, no matter how brilliant he has been or how much he has contributed to the team.
On this note, you can take a look at the treatment Maldini received in his final game before retiring, and the attitude of United fans when Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs were beaten by opponents in the latter stages of their careers.
Now let's turn our attention back to the game, after Barty helped the World All-Stars equalize with his trademark "Barty goal", Capello, who realized that he could no longer defend so passively, took the initiative to change his formation and replaced Tomasi with Cassano.
Replacing a defensive midfielder with a number nine and a half, Capello's tactical intentions are clear.
Capello is well aware that Vieri and Inzaghi are a duo that complements each other in terms of skill and skill, but they don't play much of a role in the kind of counter-attack just now. Because the current Vieri is no longer the super center who can single-handedly complete the counterattack of the entire backline, Inzaghi's dribbling skills are scum, and Baggio is technical and conscious but does not have enough speed and physical condition. Therefore, if you want to show their power, you must get a player who can pass and score, otherwise it will be difficult for Vieri to get enough attacking space whether it is a counterattack or a positional attack.
In fact, according to Capello's thinking, Cassano should not replace Tomasi, but Robert Baggio, who is also a nine-and-a-half, which can not only liberate Pirlo's organizational ability, but also strengthen the team's attacking power in the front court without weakening the defense, which can be said to be a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.
It's just that in this game, Capello can't do that. Because he knew in his heart that Baggio was the protagonist of today's All-Star Game, and he could never be replaced until the final stage of the game, so he couldn't remove Baggio on the grounds of winning the game. After all, how can there be a reason to replace the protagonist in the middle of the game?
So, without being able to replace Baggio, Tomasi became this unlucky guy and had to say goodbye early
However, Tomasi is not the most unlucky of the entire Italian all-star team, and even more tragic than him is the Roman prince Totti. With Cassano and Baggio in the front court at this time, it was naturally impossible for Capello to play a similar role for the Roman prince.
In the last minute before the end of the first half, Cassano, who pulled to the left side of the court, received a long pass from Pirlo in the midfield and broke through the defense of Cafu and Samuel in succession, and returned to the front of the penalty area after completely disrupting the defense of the world all-stars. Two to one!
From this conceded goal, it can be seen that Zeman does not pay attention to the team's defense. Veron has never been a good midfield defender, and it is not uncommon for him to be slow in his marking; Although Nedved and Ballack can attack and defend well, in Zeman's tactical system, they take on a considerable responsibility on the offensive end, and naturally put much less energy into defense.
That's why when Baggio received Cassano's pass at the top of the box, there was almost no one around him to defend - Veron didn't have this awareness at all, and Nedved and Ballack didn't run back in the opposite half!
In this way, when Corina blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the Italian All-Stars temporarily led the World All-Stars by one goal thanks to Baggio's goal in the last minute!
