Chapter 1156, Old Acquaintances
For this Italian team, many players are irreplaceable.
Gianluigi Buffon, for example, is definitely the absolute core of the Italian team's defense, and he has repeatedly created miracles this season, playing his best season since his debut, and continuing to the European Championship.
Another example is Andrea Pirlo, who is the brainchild of the Italian team, and his status in the Italian team is even greater than Xavi's status in Spain. The Spanish team also has many stars with excellent passing such as Iniesta and Xiaofa, but Italy's offensive vane is only placed on Pirlo alone, and players such as De Rossi, Marchisio, and Montolivo around him are all responsible for defending or cutting, and only Pirlo controls the field alone.
There is also center forward Balotelli, the Italian talent who has scored three goals in this Cup, currently ranked at the top of the European Cup scorer list, and is likely to win the European Championship Golden Boot.
But in Yunsheng's heart, Piero is the most irreplaceable and important one.
Everyone else is tactically important on the pitch, and Piero is not only the technical heart of this Italian team, but also the spiritual leader.
Don't look at Piero who doesn't talk much on weekdays, but he is the backbone of everyone on the pitch, and as long as he is there, everyone will feel very down-to-earth.
His assists and goal statistics are very impressive in this cup competition, especially the three goals, each of which is important.
In Yun Sheng's heart, of course, he hopes that Piero can play the full 90 minutes in this semi-final, but in order to allow Piero to get more rest, in order to allow him to have more opportunities to play in the final, Yun Sheng must be conservative in this game and still only give Piero 45 minutes.
This matter has been approved by Piero, but Piero asked Yunsheng with some concern: "If the team is in trouble, then do I go down or continue to persevere?" ”
Yun Sheng thought for a moment and did not give a positive answer: "Let's see when the time comes......"
On June 28, Warsaw, Poland, was very lively, with countless fans gathering in the square of the Warsaw State Arena in anticipation of the upcoming semi-finals of the European Championship.
Formerly known as the 10th Anniversary Stadium, the stadium is home to the Polish national team and was only rebuilt in November 2011. The stadium on the banks of the Vistula River looks like a waving Polish flag. The 58,145-seat stadium is also very spacious, and the five-star stadium, which is currently applying for UEFA, is said to have been approved internally and will be announced after the European Championship is over.
At this time, there was still more than an hour before the opening, and the fans had already entered one after another, and many vehicles drove into the VIP passage next to it and entered the private room in advance. For the sake of safety and to avoid too many fans from watching, today's VIP entrance was blocked to a certain extent, and the running vehicles went deeper and got off in the entrance of the passage.
At this time, many bigwigs have come to the stadium, officials of national football associations, UEFA leaders, major media reporters, and many bigwigs have walked into the passage, talking and laughing.
Today's largest VIP room has been booked in advance by the Spanish team, and all 23 members of the Spanish team and members of the coaching staff have come to the scene to wait for the start of the game.
Sitting in the private room, captain Casillas chatted with Ramos and Xavi Alonso next to him: "What do you think of this game? ”
Ramos looked at the direction of the pitch, at this time the players had not yet entered the warm-up: "Let's start this game at five, I think the strength of the two sides is very balanced, and it is possible to win or lose." ”
Alonso shook his head: "Actually, I am more optimistic about the Italian team, we met them in the group stage, they are very tenacious and very difficult to deal with. If I could, I'd rather play Germany in the final. ”
Casillas agreed: "yes, I would have preferred to play Germany in the final. Playing against this Italian team always reminds me of the Champions League final that I just had, it was a painful experience......"
As the players chatted, Xavi suddenly pointed to the pitch: "The Italian players have warmed up. ”
At the same time, the Italian fans in the stadium suddenly burst into applause, which was dedicated to the entire Italian team.
Yun Sheng led the players into the stadium and waved to the fans in the stands, and the players ran into the field to warm up.
Within five minutes, there was a cheer from the German fans on the other side of the stadium – and the German team had arrived.
The German players walked out of the tunnel to the applause of the fans and ran to the pitch with their heads held high in pride.
In the queue of German players, three players did not run straight to the pitch, but walked towards the Italian team's coach's bench and towards Yunsheng.
"Coach Yunsheng!"
"Boss!"
"Sir!"
Three tall German players stood in front of Yun Sheng and greeted Yun Sheng with great respect.
Yun Sheng looked at the three of them with a smile, Metzelde, Hildebrand, and Enke.
Yun Sheng patted Metzelder on the shoulder: "Man, I'm very happy for you to see your excellent performance in the European Cup." ”
Metzelde's face was full of gratitude: "Sir, if it weren't for the guidance I received from you in the past two years at Juventus, I would not have been able to return to the national team, let alone become the main player in the European Cup." I will definitely do my best in this game and live up to your expectations of me! ”
"All out against Italy? Why do I sound so awkward, okay, then let's see the real chapter on the court," Yun Sheng said with a smile.
At this time, Enke also walked up and bowed deeply to Yunsheng: "Coach Yunsheng, long time no see." ”
Yun Sheng smiled and nodded: "Enke, long time no see." How is your daughter Lana now? ”
"Since the successful operation, she has been recovering well, and she was completely discharged from the hospital last year," Enke's face was full of smiles as soon as he talked about his daughter, "Coach Yunsheng, if it weren't for your help to me, maybe the lives of both our father and daughter would have died, I really don't know how to thank you......"
Looking at Enke in front of him, Yun Sheng felt very relieved.
In this life, Enke's daughter Lana did not die young, and Enke did not end his life, he lived happily and lived a fulfilling life. And at the competitive level, he is getting better and better, and even beat Bayern's young goalkeeper Neuer and became the main goalkeeper of this Cup.
"Enke, don't thank me, this is all arranged by fate for you, I wish you all the best, and I wish Lana eternal health."
Metzelder and Enke chatted with Yunsheng for a while, and then ran onto the pitch, after all, they were both main players in this game and needed a better warm-up.
Only Hildebrand was left without leaving, he walked towards Yunsheng and gave his mentor a big hug.
"Boss! I miss you! ”
