Chapter 1020: Record Night (Part I)
PS1: 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~
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.
"It's also said that if we don't work hard, we could become the second defending champion in the history of the World Cup to go out in the group stage." Inzaghi replied with a smile, Italy's not-so-optimistic qualifying shΓ¬ did not bring him too much pressure, he has experienced countless winds and waves in Florence, and this little difficulty will not be taken into account by Inzaghi, "That's right, Christian." If I'm not mistaken, you've scored eleven World Cup goals now, right? β
"I said Philip, which subject did you teach math back then?" Hearing his friend's inquiry, Vieri corrected Inzaghi's mistake and said with a look of embarrassment, "I scored nine goals in the last World Cup, and this time I scored three more goals. β
So far, Vieri, who has scored three goals in this World Cup, has scored a full 12 goals in the two World Cups he has participated in, successfully surpassing Klinsmann, Kochis, Lineker and other famous strikers, and tied with Robert Baggio and Pele for the third place in the World Cup overall scorer list. (Note: In this book, Vieri scored a total of nine goals in the '98 World Cup, while Roberto Baggio scored five, both of whom were one of the main contributors to Italy's victory.)
To be able to score 12 goals in the World Cup and be at the top of the overall scorer list, even below Gerd Muller and Fontaine, and on a par with Brazilian champion Pele and his esteemed Robert Baggio and other predecessors on the list, is something Vieri has always been quite proud of. After all, even top goalscorers and superstars like Puskas and Van Basten have not reached Vieri's level in terms of World Cup goals, so how can he not be proud?
"Ahaha, I'm sorry, it's true that I misremembered." Inzaghi thought about it carefully, and found that he was really one less counted, and smirked at Vieri twice with some embarrassment, and hurriedly brushed aside his mistake, "Don't talk about this, let's make it clear to you first, otherwise wait for the game to start, I'm afraid I won't have time to tell you these things." β
"Oh? What kind of business can you kid come to me for? Vieri looked at his best friend and asked with some amusement, "Which nightclub do you have a crush on and need me to accompany you?" Or do you have a crush on a beautiful reporter and want me to help you? β
"you, don't you think I'm going to come to you for anything other than these things?" Inzaghi laughed as he walked towards the centre circle of the pitch, "Let's put it this way, Christian, I wonder if you would be interested in hitting Muller's fourteen-goal record in this game?" If you have an idea, the Roma kid and I will be happy to give you a chance to pass the ball. β
"Wait...... Philip, what did you just say? Vieri looked at Inzaghi in disbelief, looking at his friend with an alien-like gaze, and said, "Did I hear me right?" You actually said you were going to pass me the ball in the game? Haha, is the sun rising in the west today? β
"Hey! I'm discussing this with you very seriously, okay?! Seeing Vieri's expression, Inzaghi, who knew that the other party must not take it seriously, had no choice but to re-emphasize that he didn't want this hard-won opportunity to be wasted by this friend. After all, it won't be easy to convince Totti, especially since the arrogant part of the Roman prince's personality began to swell after Roma lifted the Serie A trophy a year ago. By now, Totti was no longer satisfied with the position of the attack's playmaker and began to try to seize part of the right to fire from Vieri and Inzaghi.
This is also the main reason why in Rome now, whether it is Tony or Montella, they have a poor relationship with Totti - you dare to shoot anywhere, you dare to hit the goal casually, and when you don't want to shoot, you will remember to pass a few to us, and if you can't shoot and show us your face, you can't really hurt to have such a teammate!
If it weren't for Montella's professionalism and their professionalism being quite good, and they wouldn't have stirred up trouble in the team for these things, I'm afraid it would have been impossible for Roma to finish third in Serie A last season.
Although Totti's style of play has changed significantly in the past year, in the Italian national team, Totti, as a junior character, obviously does not dare to make mistakes in front of Vieri and other big brothers. Even the aforementioned snatching of the right to fire is only at some less important times, and if Inzaghi and Vieri are really unhappy about this, then Totti is likely to lose his hard-won main position!
After all, there is no shortage of players in Italy who can replace Totti. From the veteran Roberto Baggio, to the Mesozoic Pierrot, to the younger Pirlo and Cassano, they all have the ability to replace the Roman prince in the national team, so when Inzaghi personally stepped forward to ask Totti to cooperate with Vieri in this game, the Roman prince naturally had no reason to refuse.
Mancini, who was at his peak at the time, refused to be Roberto Baggio's substitute for the World Cup, and as a result, the representative of the golden Samp has not been able to participate in the Italian national team since then, and Totti does not want to be the next Mancini on this.
"Haha, then I'm here to thank my brothers for their strong support." Vieri smiled and patted Inzaghi on the shoulder, nodded to Totti behind him in thanks, and said, "Say it in advance, although you can do this kind of thing, you can't delay the team from winning." After all, our qualification is not guaranteed yet, and if the team is out of the tournament because of the brush, we will all become sinners of Italian football. β
"This is natural, you can rest assured." Inzaghi is not stupid, of course he knows which is more important, the jΓΉ or the victory, so of course he is full of promises to Vieri's request, "Before we lock in the win, we will follow the normal routine." If we take a big lead, how about letting you shoot a few more shots and brush up the score? β
Vieri nodded yes, and while he was interested in breaking Gerd Muller's record, which had been in the dust for more than three decades, he wasn't in a hurry. After all, if you can make it to the knockout stage, with your own strength, do you still have no chance of scoring?
Of course, it would be great to break Muller's record while helping the team qualify.
