The Era of Emerald

ps: It’s a new week, I’m here to ask everyone for a recommendation ticket...

Since the starting lineup of Italy in this game has undergone considerable changes under the influence of Zhuang Mingge and Florence in this world, it is natural that the process of the game cannot be exactly the same as Zhuang Mingge's previous life.

At least without Pierrot, the Frenchman's "undercover", Italy's offense in this game is much sharper than in history - Vieri's power, Inzaghi's running position, Totti's comprehensive And Baggio's agility, no matter which one is taken out, it is enough to cause any defender a headache for a long time, let alone when these people are all gathered together.

Faced with Italy's diverse offensive methods and sharp quick counterattacks, although the Frenchman was eager to gain the lead in the game, he did not dare to let the players in the backcourt easily press up and participate in the attack, so as not to be captured by the opponent in the counterattack. Scored a goal, which made his side lose the initiative in the game.

However, as the game progressed, the French players on the field gradually discovered something was wrong-these Italians invested too much force in the counterattack? !

It is normal for the offensive four-man team in the frontcourt to be active in the front line of the counterattack, but why are people like Dino Baggio and Albertini who should have stayed in the backcourt involved?

Of course, the French don't know that by increasing the participation of players in the counterattack, the counterattack will change from relying entirely on the individual performance of one or two players in the frontcourt to an all-round three-dimensional attack in which most players can participate. This is the idea that the old Maldini came up with after watching more than a dozen Fiorentina game videos.

Vieri and Totti formed Italy's first offensive line in the counterattack, and behind them was the second wave of offensive formed by Roberto Baggio and Inzaghi.If the opponent does not show any flaws in these two attacks, then the army composed of Albertini, Dino Baggio, Zambrotta and Maldini will pounce on them with long shots and crosses. Threatening the opponent's goal!

This change in Italy's counterattack tactics has caused the French players on the field to suffer, because almost every time they return without success in the offense, they have to spend a lot of energy and time to deal with the Italians. fight back.

As a result, the French players had to face the reality of being exhausted on both ends of the pitch, and as time went on, they began to gradually show signs of exhaustion on the pitch.

Five minutes into the game, Zidane, who received a direct pass from Petit at the front of the penalty area, used a gorgeous Marseille maneuver to throw off Dino Baggio, who was defending him closely, and then dribbled the ball into the Italian goal. The penalty area, and then suddenly kicked and hit the goal while running!

Although Zidane's shot was quite sudden, neither Nesta nor Materazzi interfered with him at the first time, so that the French midfielder's entire shooting action was done in one go, and the ball was shot directly to the far corner of the goal!

Seeing that the French team was about to break the deadlock on the field with Zidane's shot, at the most critical moment, Pagliuca stood up, and he, who had been paying attention to Zidane all the time, used a wonderful fall to the ground, The ball shot by the Frenchman was firmly pressed under him!

Then, Pagliuca, who got up from the turf, did not give the French players a chance to return to the defense in time, and kicked the ball far to the French team's half with a big foot!

Vieri, who pinned down Desailly with strength, received the ball from Pagliuca and played it back to Roberto Baggio, who immediately played a wonderful diagonal pass with Totti. Tear open the Maginot Line carefully built by the French!

Totti, who had formed a one-handed situation, was not greedy for merit at this time. When he dribbled into the penalty area, he did not choose to face the French goal, but advanced to the right side of the penalty area. After attracting the defense of Barthez and Blanc Suddenly, an inverted triangle pass came, and the ball was passed to the middle of the court, which is the top of the penalty area!

At this time, Vieri and Roberto Baggio attracted the attention of Desailly and Deschamps by running respectively, and took them away from the center of the field. Going back, so it was Filippo Inzaghi who got Totti's pass.

Behind Inzaghi is Christian Kalumbu, who plays for La Liga giants Real Madrid. He is now almost shoulder to shoulder with Inzaghi, but the latter got the ball first because of his position on the left.It is precisely because of this that Inzaghi, who received the pass, was not in a hurry to shoot, because he knew that if he kicked rashly, the exposed gap would be enough for the big black man beside him to complete a wonderful tackle!

While Inzaghi was looking for kicking opportunities, Kalumbu beside him was also waiting for the opportunity to destroy the opponent's counterattack.

Looking at the extremely thin Italian striker in front of him, and the stumbling ball under his feet, Kalumbu really felt that he was very sure to break the opponent's ball without fouling.So, the French midfielder made one of his most stupid moves in this World Cup-a tackle on the ground!

"Don't!" Desailly and Blanc, who played in Serie A, shouted at the same time when they saw Karembu shoveling towards Inzaghi.Those who have played against Inzaghi many times know best that his scariness lies not only in his elusive off-the-ball running, but also his superb level of tricking penalty kicks!

Let me make a digression here. Compared with Inzaghi's Zhanyi Eighteen Falls, which can't be distinguished even in slow motion, the acting skills of those people in Laying are really terrible.

However, this time Inzaghi really didn't flop, because when Kalumbu tackled the ball, he was clever and took the ball out first!

It was this step that caused Kalumbu to kick the ball directly to Inzaghi's calf instead of shoveling the ball!

Dainzaghi fell to the ground in response, and the referee who arrived later was also unambiguous. He showed a yellow card to Karembu who had fouled in the penalty area and sentenced the French team to death!

"Penalty kick! The referee awarded the Italian team a penalty kick!" Zhuang Mingge's ears were buzzing with the voice of the commentator in the earphones, "Kalumbu's tackle was too reckless. It is much safer to follow Inzaghi to put pressure on him than to rush! Now, the French goalkeeper Barthez is about to face a very severe test!"

Seeing the referee pointing to the [-]-yard point, Kalumbu, who was still secretly thankful for escaping a red card, panicked. But I was warned by the referee: "I didn't give you a red card because you didn't hurt on purpose. If you talk too much, be careful and I will give you another yellow card."

At this time, Inzaghi stood up again after emergency treatment by the team doctor. Fortunately, Kalumbu shoveled his shin guard. If it was lower, he might leave the World Cup due to injury.

Returning to the field, Inzaghi declined the suggestion to personally take the penalty kick, and gave the opportunity to take the shot to Roberto Baggio, because he had been teammates with Baggio for two years and knew that no one needed it more than Baggio. Penalty kicks were redeemed.

This time, can the melancholy prince overcome the shadow of missing a penalty kick four years ago and open the scoring for Italy?
