Chapter 1300: Decisive Battle in Lisbon (3)
PS1: This is Thursday's update, a little late, I hope you don't care too much about the update time, and I promise not to stop 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.
Although Greece's quick counter-attack did not score, it also scared the Italian players into a cold sweat. After all, Charlie Steas had just hit the ball with a header that was too dangerous. If it weren't for Buffon's accurate judgment, relying on his own prediction to appear on the flight path of the ball in advance, saving the opponent's shot, but waiting until the opponent's shot to make a save, Italy may have fallen behind 0-1 on the field at this time.
"Oh my God, I was really scared to death just now, fortunately Buffon is here, otherwise Italy may not have escaped this time......" At the same time, Zhuang Mingge and his party, who were watching the game in the box, were also calming down, and they were also frightened by Charlie Steas's header. Especially Zhuang Mingge himself, for a moment he even thought that this was the inertia of history again, even if the side participating in the final changed from Portugal to a more powerful Italy, it could not prevent the birth of Greek mythology.
Fortunately, Buffon stepped up at this critical juncture and saved Italy with a crucial save. Otherwise, with Rehhagel's discipline and lower limit, Zhuang Mingge has no doubt that this product will definitely let the Greek players put a bus in front of their homes after taking the lead, and maintain the advantage of this one goal until the end of the game.
While the Italian fans were congratulating that the team had escaped the disaster, and the Greek fans were lamenting that the team had missed the goal, the players on both sides of the pitch did not have the mood and time to ponder these things. After all, the game is still going on, and if their minds are still stuck in the previous attack, they will expose more flaws.
The fact that the Greeks almost seized the opportunity to sneak attack was a situation that made the Italian players feel a little uncomfortable. After all, they are the real experts when it comes to counter-attacking, and it is a bit embarrassing to have the hell of a gutter capsizing on Greece today.
However, the Greek counter-attack also made the Italian players aware of the danger hidden beneath the seemingly innocuous appearance of their opponents, and they became more cautious and tighter in defending to avoid falling into the same pit a second time.
Especially Materazzi, who failed to mark Charlisteas before, although he was forced to push away by the opponent with a move that was close to a foul before giving the opponent a chance to shoot in the penalty area, and no one blamed him afterwards, but for Materazzi, being used by the opponent to get rid of the defense and almost score a goal is simply a stain that can never be erased in his career!
In addition to his tough and fierce style of play, Materazzi's biggest characteristic is that he has a strong sense of revenge, and once he suffers a loss on his opponent, he will get the field back in whatever he says. This can be seen from the World Cup final in his previous life, Materazzi equalized not long after giving France a penalty, and then used trash talk to get Zidane, the absolute core of the opponent.
So, Charlesteauas, who had just played a Materazzi in the game, had a good experience of what is called Serie A-level defensive intensity in the following games!
With a small flying kick with a bright shoulder and a dark elbow, Materazzi greeted the Greek center forward who dared to play tricks with him, making Charlie Steas miserable, constantly complaining to the referee that the opponent's defensive movements were too big, and asking Merck to punish the Italian central defender with unclean hands and feet.
Merck initially took Charlisteas's complaint very seriously, and for some time afterwards secretly undermined Materazzi's every move. However, Materazzi, who has been fighting in Serie A for many years, has so much defensive experience that how can such a glaring flaw be exposed? Most of his small movements are just a way for Charlisteas to perform his technical moves, they don't leave many scars or bruises on his body, and most of his movements are so subtle that they are hard to see even from the camera.
In this case, Merck, who has not enforced the law in Serie A, let alone dealt with these defenders in Serie A, naturally can't see Materazzi's small movements, and naturally won't easily blow the opponent's foul.
Moreover, since Charleste played in Bremen, Merck had dealt with the Greek striker in many games, and knew that this thing likes to complain about everything, so after not finding any obvious foul moves in Materazzi's defense, the German referee no longer paid attention to the other party's complaints. Anyway, he didn't open an online store, and Charlie Steas didn't give praise afterwards and it didn't affect his performance......
Of course, the most important reason why Merck did not continue to hold on to Materazzi is that in football, there is definitely some physical contact between the players of both sides. If every ball Merck had been punished strictly according to the rules of football, then the game would have been basically ignored. Therefore, in a normal game, some small actions between players that are more hidden or less lethal will basically not be blown into fouls by the referee.
"Hey, little bastard, if I can't do a small move, I'll just complain to the referee?" Seeing the sad expression on Charlie Steas's face, Materazzi, "Originally, I thought you were a man when you were so brave just now, but I didn't expect it to wilt in just two clicks...... Tsk, you still have to be a little bit of a life for others, anyway, I don't think you can get hard in this life. ”
"......" looked at Materazzi's wicked face and the gushing trash talk that came into his ears, and Charlie Steas finally resisted the idea of punching the other party in the face. He didn't want to mess up the team's efforts for most of the past half a month, let alone miss out on what might be the only chance in his life to win an international tournament.
Charlie Steas was entangled by Materazzi and couldn't get out of it at all, which made another Greek striker Frizas suffer. Although the latter has been with Perugia for many years and knows a lot about Italy's defensive system, that doesn't mean he has the ability to break through this reinforcing defence.
What's more, he is still facing Nesta, who is known as the world's No. 1 central defender, which makes it even more difficult for him to attack and find no space to shoot with his feet.
While hard work can make up for it, when both teams stick to overall football and have very similar tactics, the individual ability of the players is extremely important.
It's like the mediocre Pistons Five Tigers, although they relied on the whole to defeat the Lakers who had an F4 combination but were not united in the 04 Finals, but when they faced the Spurs who played the same team but were obviously more talented in the second year, the Pistons were a little powerless.
