Chapter 1168, Best Partner!
The Italian fans in the stands cheered wildly! They have risen from despair!
However, on the sidelines, the managers of both teams were unusually calm.
Yun Sheng knows very well that this kind of moment must not be careless, the Spanish attack is like a crocodile, you feel like he is asleep, but a sudden leap can bite your throat.
Now that the game has come to 70 minutes, Yunsheng decisively made substitution adjustments.
Abate, who has suffered a serious decline in fitness, is off the field, and Marco Mota comes off the bench!
Abate has been a little out of pace in the chase just now, and he was very active on the right side of the game, often assisting to link up with Piero, and so far, he is the Italian player who has run the longest distance in this game.
With twenty minutes to go, Yunsheng needs absolutely top form and fitness at the back!
On the Spanish side, Bosque also made three changes in a row: Fernando Torres, Juan Mata and Pedro came off the bench in turn, replacing Cesc Fabregas, Andres Iniesta and David Silva respectively.
In this way, Spain's tactics changed in an instant!
They went from a 4-6-0 formation to a 4-3-3!
The reason for Bosque's change of formation is very clear, that is, because Italy began to frantically disrupt the midfield, which made it difficult for his no-striker tactics to continue to pass gracefully, so he simply replaced three genuine strikers in one go, ready to storm in the last ten minutes or so, and strive to score as soon as possible!
As the clock ticked by, it was now the 80th minute of the game.
The three Spanish strikers who have just come on the pitch are very active, especially Mata, who has already won two chances in a row thanks to his aggressive scrambling.
On a pass just now, Mata's shot from outside the box grazed the post and almost made a contribution.
Busquets suddenly stepped out and cut off De Rossi's pass!
De Rossi, who had been running for the whole game, had a serious decline in physical fitness and made a passing error!
Sergio Busquets passes the ball down the right and Pedro advances with the ball, which is a good chance for Spain!
Grosso desperately grabbed back, Pedro forced a foot cross!
The power is a little small, Torres stepped forward to answer! He had his back to Bonucci and suddenly crossed to the back post again!
Mata volleys at the back post! The ball went in!!
In the 81st minute, Mata's goal gave Spain the lead again!
3 to 2! The scales of victory are tilted in favor of the Spanish team!
The Spanish friends had just come on the pitch when they scored a goal!
And three minutes later, it was the two of them who passed and received the ball together, Mata went straight to the penalty area, and Torres played directly into the opposite corner without stopping!
The ball went in!!
In the 84th minute of the game, Spain scored another goal!
4 to 2! Within four minutes, Spain had scored twice in a row and their victory was in sight!
The Spanish fans in the stands are already crazy at this point!
Even with stoppage time, there are less than ten minutes left!
Italy can't afford to equalize!
At this time, in the live broadcast room, Vieri cried with a sad face and said in a very low tone: "Mata and Torres, the two of them have a very good relationship, and they have repeatedly got along with each other in the national team before to assist in goals. Shortly after the two of them came on the pitch, they each passed the ball to each other and scored a goal each. Now that Spain have another two-goal lead, is there any hope for Italy to win the title......"
Di Livio beside him was already nervously speechless, he looked in the direction of the stadium, expecting the Italian hero to appear!
Cassano? Balotelli? De Rossi?
After looking around, Di Livio finally set his sights on a man.
The man, wearing the armband of the Italian captain, stood in the centre circle with his eyes blazing, urging the referee to interrupt Spain's goal celebration and ask for a quick resumption of play.
Di Livio suddenly remembered that years ago, he was facing the TV screen, as if he was talking to a friend, and as if he was muttering to himself.
"I suddenly remembered when I was playing in Padua, when the young talent in the team was so talented, even if he was low-key, but the talent was always shining through."
"Later, together we came to Juventus from Padua and joined the Bianconeri. At Juventus, we won the Champions League, the Super Cup, and a lot of Serie A and Coppa Italia titles. That's when I knew that the young man was going to be a leading figure in Italian football. ”
Over time, he has become the spiritual leader of Juventus and the flag of the Italian team. Before this European Championship, there were doubts about his selection, but until now, he has proved his worth with four goals! Not only that, but he is also the spiritual leader of this Italian team on the field! ”
"Now the Italian team is in trouble and I believe he can lead the team out of it! He's my best friend and he's the best Italian player in my heart! We can't lose! I'm convinced! ”
Di Livio's voice went from being low at the beginning, to getting louder and louder, and at this time the court also changed!
The Spanish team, which has retreated on all fronts, is surrounded by Italy!
Gattuso and De Rossi were desperate, rushing to the front of the Spanish penalty area and rampage, tearing apart the defense!
Just when the Spanish defense was loose, Pirlo seized the moment and made a through ball!
Piero's anti-offside position is successful! Facing Casillas, deftly push into the far corner!
The ball went in!!
4 to 3! Italy pulled a goal back!
It's now 88 minutes, plus five minutes of stoppage time, and Italy still has a chance!
Vieri in the live broadcast room applauded hard!
"Piero scored an 'Inzaghi-esque' goal, and this time the passing and shooting combination was very similar to the passing and receiving of the ball between Pirlo and Inzaghi in the Champions League final! This pair of old friends of the Italian national team and new teammates of Juventus, they are the best partners of the Italian team! ”
After pulling the ball back, Piero didn't have time to celebrate, he rushed into the net and ran back to the centre circle with the ball.
He felt a little tired, but his strong desire to win made him have to persevere!
There's still a ball left, and now we can't go down!
In the 89th minute, Gattuso brought down Pedro again, who was in possession of the ball, and passed the ball to the penalty area!
Balotelli volleys hard! Pique used his body to block the shot!
In the 90th minute, Cassano connected two people in the penalty area and danced!
He was put down by Ramos! The Italian players protested loudly, it was a penalty!
The referee didn't say anything, Alonso cleared the ball with a big foot!
In the 91st minute, De Rossi made a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball was saved by Casillas!
In the 92nd minute, Pirlo curled a ball on the left side, and the ball went straight to the corner!
Casillas saves again!
There are about thirty seconds left until the end of the race!
Italy are still one goal down, can they equalise?
