Chapter 1144, Seven to Seven!
As a veteran of the Italian national team, Piero's affection for the area is no less than that of Juventus.
But at the moment, he really misses his time at Juventus, the days when he formed a trident with Raul and Trezeguet.
The suave Raul and the down-to-earth and resolute Trezeguet feel super good to partner with these two stars.
But look at Cassano and Balotelli, Piero's brain is buzzing......
Usually on the training ground, Cassano and Balotelli often quarrel, of course, the two are not any contradictions, nor is it a bad relationship, there is only one reason for quarrels on weekdays, that is, to argue about who is the most talented star in Italy.
To be fair, these two guys are definitely not inferior to any other period before the Italian team, but they have been convulsive and unreliable from time to time, which is the biggest obstacle for the Italian team to become a top team.
If these two guys can reach peak form, combined with their own experience, this is definitely the strongest forward combination in this European Cup, there is no one!
Watching the two talented strikers on the court fall in love and kill each other, Cannavaro asked Yun Sheng with a smile: "Sir, which of these two guys do you think is more talented?" ”
Yun Sheng turned his head to look at Speed: "Gary, what do you think?" ”
Speed thought for a moment: "I think both of them are very talented, and if they can both cash in on their talent, I think Cassano's ceiling is Baggio and Balotelli's ceiling is Batty." ”
Cannavaro was stunned: "You think so highly of the two of them?" ”
Speed nodded seriously: "These two players are born for football, their sense of the ball is so good, and their understanding of football is also a top talent, if their brains can be more normal, they will definitely be able to become world-renowned stars." ”
Cannavaro: "Oh, I see, that's impossible. ”
Speed: "......"
Cannavaro: "......"
At this point, in the scramble of the midfield, Gattuso once again managed to cut off Alonso's pass and put the ball directly at the feet of Cassano. Cassano shook off Spain's left-back Jordi Alba and fired a shot that grazed the far post and slid out of the goal.
Balotelli grimaced at Cassano, who gave Balotelli another middle finger.
Speed: "Looks like the two of them don't have their brains in their right......"
Yun Sheng looked at the direction of the stadium with a smile and said with emotion: "In this Italian team, it is definitely a blessing for Italy to have two top talents. And both of them were in excellent form last season, and this European Championship is up to them. ”
Cannavaro asked, "Isn't it Piero?" ”
"I only expect Piero to play a tandem role, but the activity in the front court depends on these two talented boys," Yun Sheng glanced at the time card, "It's 80 minutes now, and our defensive pressure in the second half is a lot less, not only thanks to Gattuso, but also related to the performance of these two boys." Now how dare the Spanish team be so arrogant and press on a large area, you must know that these two people can completely end the game with a casual flash of inspiration. ”
The Italian coaching staff was chatting on the sidelines as Bosque played his last card.
Left-back Jordi Alba was off and Juan Mata came off the bench.
Bosque replaced a defender and added an attacking player.
After Juan Mata came on, Spain's formation changed to 3-4-3, with Mata being pushed up as a right striker to continue the attack.
With less than ten minutes to go until the end of the game, Spain will have no chance if they don't step up their attack......
Italy remained defensive for the most part, and the occasional attacking opportunity did not pay off.
After a period of training, Yunsheng is very clear about the current situation of the team.
After a season of hard work, the current midfielders are in good shape, but their physical condition is average, and they need to recover and optimize their physical fitness; A couple of attacking players are in good shape, but they're not at their peak, but they're on the rise, which is a good thing.
For many teams, if they start the group stage with a particularly impressive performance, it is often difficult to make it to the end. Teams that have been on the rise and are getting better and better tend to go far.
Now that the game has come to 85 minutes, Yunsheng has also begun to make substitution adjustments.
He replaced De Rossi and Piero with Montolivo and Astori, and the formation changed from 4-3-2-1 to 5-3-2 and was ready to hold on for the final five minutes.
After Astori came on, Italy's defence became more dense, and Spain could not enter the box at all, except for long-range shooting opportunities.
Of course, they have one last resort.
In the 88th minute, Andres Iniesta played a croquette on the line of the penalty area, which was brought down by Abate, and Spain won a direct free-kick.
Several free-kick masters stood in front of the ball, and the fans in the stadium raised their hearts to their throats.
The referee's whistle blew and neither Iniesta nor Xavi touched the ball!
Xavi Alonso shoots hard! The ball went through the wall and into the corner!
Buffon was blocked from his view and could only watch the ball go into the net!
The ball is in!
In the last minute of the match, Spain's efforts finally came to fruition!
1 to 1! Spain scored the equalizer!
With the excited cheers of the Spanish fans in the stadium, the Spanish players on the pitch were excited!
It was not easy to attack the whole game and finally score a goal!
The Italian players on the pitch looked quite frustrated, especially the defenders, and it was a bad feeling that they had fought hard for the whole game and ended up falling short.
And Cassano and Balotelli were even more unhappy at this time!
'If we had scored more goals, we wouldn't have equalised now.' Cassano kicked the turf in an unhappy mood.
Balotelli on the side was full of anger and was in a bad mood.
Although the players have their own agendas, the coaches of both teams on the sidelines of the pitch are invariably calm.
After scoring the equaliser, Bosque just applauded and didn't show much excitement.
And Yun Sheng is the same, although he was drawn by his opponent, his expression was still peaceful.
After the goal, the game resumed, and in the second minute of stoppage time, Italy seized the time to organize another attack, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game as the corner kick was cleared.
The high-profile battle ended in a 1-1 average.
Yunsheng walked over to Bosque, and the two of them seemed very friendly.
Bosque: "It's a shame that the Spanish team only played 70 percent today. ”
Yunsheng: "Italy too, we are only playing 70% of our strength. ”
Bosque: "It's a shame we didn't have a good game. ”
Yun Sheng: "We'll see you in the final, and then we'll have a happy game!" ”
