On the one hand, Uncle Mila has achieved a lot of success at the Olympics, while Laporta, who is in charge of the Spanish Olympic team on the other side, has also achieved some results.

Because of Laporta's Barcelona background, he has a unique advantage in signing players, after all, except for Real Madrid, which is not the same as Barcelona, few players will have trouble with Laporta, who has a Barcelona background.

As a result, Salgado and Morientes, who had not yet joined Real Madrid at this time, signed their names on the brokerage contract under the persuasion of Laporta.

The current squad of Portugal's Olympic squad is clearly inferior in talent to their predecessors after the glory of the golden generation, but that doesn't mean there are no gems to be discovered.

Under the command of Zhuang Mingge, the GM employees were full of doubts, but they still complied with the request of their boss to sign four players: Kostija, Maniche, Nuno Gomez, and Pauletta.

Others may not know, Zhuang Mingge, as a traverser, knows the value of these players in the future, and these future star resources are all dollars!

As for the French Olympic team, Zhuang Mingge is very familiar with many of these players, Candela, Makelele, Henry, Trezeguet, Darkett, Ismael...... It can be said that Domenech transplanted half of the Monaco team to the current French Olympic team this time, plus Vieira, who plays for AC Milan, the strength of the French team should not be underestimated, and the Gallic Roosters have also become a strong contender for the gold medal in Olympic football.

Although the relationship between Zhuang Mingge's Fiorentina and Monaco clubs is good, but Zhuang Ming's GM company has hit a small nail in the expansion of French business this time, due to the high degree of professionalism of French football, and the group of players who came to participate in the Olympic Games have a certain popularity throughout Europe, so there are very few French players who do not have official agents.

As a result, not a single French player agreed to sign with GM, and it was the only defeat in GM's Olympic strategy.

While Zhuang Mingge commanded the employees of GM to compete for star resources, the Italian Olympic team, which had won all three games, had also successfully qualified from the group stage, and the players were actively preparing for the upcoming quarter-finals under the supervision of Maldini Sr.!

On July 27, the Brazilian Olympic team, which has Carlos, Ronaldo, Savio, Juninho, Bebeto and other famous players, defeated the French Olympic team led by Henry and Trezeguet, the two Monaco twin stars, 2-0, and won the first place to advance to the semifinals of the Olympic Games! As one of the strong contenders for the Olympic gold medal, the French team had to go home depressed and hastily ended this trip to the United States.

On the same day, Nigeria, the African Lions led by Kanu and Finidi George, eliminated the Ghana Olympic team, also from Africa, and advanced to the final!

A day later, two more quarter-finals were played on this soil, and this time, it was finally the turn of the Italian Olympic team! And their opponent is the Spanish Olympic team with a large group of excellent players such as Raul, de la Pena, Guti, and Morientes!

The Iberian bullfighters with their magnificent dance moves and the Apennine legions, famous for their reinforced concrete lines, are a battle of spear and shield!

Such a game has undoubtedly attracted the attention of football people, after all, Spain and Italy, two countries have emerged in an endless stream of new stars in recent years, and it is also haode to know more.

Fans want to see a good game, after all, the flashiness of Spain's attack and Italy's defensive art are very eye-catching things, and many people think it will be a close game.

However, the match was unexpected, and it took only 45 minutes for Maldini's Italy to end the suspense of the match.

It took just 25 minutes for the starter to score a hat-trick and Pierrot, who was tasked with feeding him a cannonball, scored a brilliant curling kick from the famous Pierrot area towards the end of the first half, sending the Spanish youngsters almost crying back to their dressing room.

The first half of the game was played like this, is there still a need to play in the second half? After all, the current Spain is still known as the king of the qualifiers, and belongs to the kind of soft egg team that is extremely beautiful in normal times and wilts as soon as it arrives at the big competition, and reversal is not their strong point, let alone a super reversal.

Zhuang Mingge, who sat in the stands and watched the game, believed that Spain had lost this time, although Italian football is indeed famous for its emphasis on defense, but this does not mean that Italians will not attack. The Italian national team, coached by both Vecini and Sacchi, has never had a passive defensive jiashi in the game, and more often takes the initiative to attack with the excellent jishu and tactical execution of the players.

The attacking combination of Totti, Pierrot and Inzaghi is about the same as the attack power of Morientes + Raul and Dela Pena, right?

Therefore, when the ability and level of offensive players on both sides are similar, the difference in defensive level naturally becomes the key to the game.

Think about it, Italy has Pagliuca, Buffon, Nesta, Cannavaro...... Any one of these anti-heaven guys can make a team's defense line go up a notch at once.

Who is in Spain's backline? Salgado from right winger to right-back? Or Elgra, who hasn't even played professionally? Still is...... Hey? Gone?

Without even a reliable goalkeeper and defender, and the defensive system completely relies on the individual abilities of the players, so Spain still wants to compete with Italy? Funny, right?!

After the start of the second half, the Spanish players who reappeared on the pitch seemed to have no intention of turning the tables at all, but kept killing time in the backfield without purpose, such a negative attitude to the game naturally caused the dissatisfaction of many Americans who came to watch the game, and the stands booed continuously.

The old Maldini also accepted it when he saw it, after all, there is no deep hatred between Italy and Spain, and there is no need to be so unsympathetic, so the old coach replaced Inzaghi, who scored a hat trick, with Vieri, and replaced Totti with the teenager Pirlo, intending to cooperate with the opponent to consume the time in the second half.

However, Vieri obviously did not understand the manager's intentions, he was tall and strong, he gave full play to his physical advantages and rampaged in the Spanish defense, Pierrot and Pirlo in the middle continued to distribute the ball to the wing, and Panucci and Koko, who were responsible for attacking on the side, kept passing the ball to Vieri's head and let him complete a Zuihou blow.

As a result, Vieri scored two goals in the second half of the Italian Olympic team, and Italy thrashed Spain 6-0 in the quarter-finals, creating the biggest victory of the Olympic Games.

At the same time, this game was also called the "Miami tragedy" by the Spanish media (the game was played in Miami, USA), and it also became a lingering shadow in the hearts of the players of this Spanish Olympic team.
