Chapter 347 Italian-French War

"Ah!" After several days of busy work, the materials for Italy and France, including Romania, were finally sorted out. McLaren's round of busy work finally came to an end, and the time quietly came to June 2008, 6. Today, later today, all the group matches will be finished. By then, who will be the opponent of England's group in the next round will also be revealed!

Calling all the England players early was the last chance to inspect the opponent before the game. Without hesitation, in this group of two games that started at the same time, McLaren chose France vs. Italy. Who will appear in the battle of life and death!

Speaking of which, before this game, Italy still had a very dishonorable record, which has been maintained, that is, since the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, Italy has never had a single time in the 30 years since the 90 World Cup in Argentina. In [-] minutes of regular time, they were able to defeat the rooster standing in front of them today.

So, can Italy break this 30-year curse today?

After the commentator said this, Li Yi deliberately did not recall the score and process of the game. Together with other England teammates, he quietly watched the competition between the two teams!

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------

本场比赛，意大利主帅多纳多尼一改之前2场小组赛采用过，但效果差强人意的4-3-3阵型，改打4-3-1-2。

Cassano started for the national team for the first time in 21 months. Luo and De Rossi form the three midfielders, and the defense has not changed. It is still the standard equipment of Zambrotta, Chiellini, Panucci, Grosso and goalkeeper Buffon! [

As for the French team, their coach Domenech's surgery mainly selected the team's backcourt.

The old central defender Thuram was abandoned, Abidal played in the middle, Evra and Claire were on the two wings, and the forward line, Benzema returned to the starting lineup to replace Anelka, who had performed poorly in the previous few games, and Team Captain Henry.

But having said that, in this game, in fact, the two warring parties, Italy and France, while paying attention to their own game, they also had to be distracted from another game that was going on at the same time.

Due to the disappointment of our side in the previous two games, Italy lost a 2-0 loss to the Netherlands, and France lost a 3-1 loss to the Netherlands. In this game, if something happens to the Netherlands and Romania steals a victory, The showdown between the champion and runner-up of the Shinco World Cup will become meaningless!

Of course, regardless of the result of the Dutch game over there, first of all, the two sides still have to play their own games well.

After the start of the game, less than 1 minute later, the French team, which had an advantage in history and heart, first created a very threatening offensive by Franck Ribery.

Holding the ball and sprinting all the way to the Italian half, Scarman took a wonderful long shot from a position about 25 meters away from the goal, testing the Italian goalkeeper Buffon!

Unfortunately, in the end Ribery's shot was slightly off the goal.

It's not rude to come and go. After Ribery first created a threat for the team, in the 5th minute of the first half, Italian center Toni got a single-handed goal that was much better than Ribery's previous chance!

With the help of French central defender Abidal's mistake, Tony received a long pass from De Rossi in the backcourt and got an excellent opportunity to directly face French goalkeeper Coupe!

However, I don't know if it was affected by Li Yi's lob shot against Spain before.After obviously getting a one-handed chance, Tony was very unwise. He chose to hit the goal directly at a position about 30 meters away from the goal!As for the result?Needless to say, I know that it is definitely impossible to enter and pull!

After seeing Tony handling the ball, England, who had been watching the ball quietly, including the staff, couldn't help themselves, and turned their eyes on Li Yi, who was placed in the center of the crowd by his teammates!

"Hehe!" Touching the back of his head, Li Yi smiled awkwardly. He pointed to the game screen projected by the projector and said, "Watch the ball, watch the ball!"

England players think that Tony is learning from Li Yi. In fact, in Li Yi's opinion, Tony's choice for this ball is nothing compared to his choice against Spain!

This Nima, because the French goalkeeper Coupe did not expect Abidal to make a mistake, he did not attack De Rossi's long pass, and kept guarding in front of the goal line. Under such circumstances, Tony single-handedly shot from a distance. That's not wise, it's 2b! [

It is said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed!Originally, the French team escaped a catastrophe, they should have good fortune, who knows, Tony's single-handedly, but it was just the beginning of their bad luck in today's game!

The first half of the game lasted less than 7 minutes. Due to too much effort, during an interception in the midfield, Ribery, who fought hard against Zambrotta from behind, not only failed to grab Zambrot Rota's ball at the foot, not to mention the last foul, what made the Frenchman even more depressed was that Scarman's previous kick hurt himself!And it seems that the injury is not serious!

Seeing Ribery being carried out of the field by the medical staff and sent to the hospital, even Li Yi sent his blessings to Ribery, the star he likes very much!

Even so, Li Yi knew clearly that Ribery's injury this time did not actually affect his subsequent development!He is still the core player of that later cosmic Bayern!

Faced with Franck Ribery's injury, Domenech had no choice but to use Nasri, who has recently been rumored with Crystal Palace and is said to be signing a contract soon!

And with the help of the free kick obtained by this foul that Ribery was injured, Italy was just a little bit short, and it expanded its score on the field!

Master Pirlo took a free kick, Tony jumped high in the middle of the penalty area, a handsome lion shook his head, and headed the ball to the back of the goal!

It's a pity that although Tony's header this time successfully passed through the French goalkeeper Coupe's ten fingers, it was finally blocked by Mark Caicai in front of the goal line just before entering the net!

The French team escaped again!

Still the same sentence, it was originally said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future, but today the French team has shown the whole world, what is it called, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future!

In the opening 7 minutes, the team's general Franck Ribery was injured. Isn't France unlucky enough?In fact, this is not counted!

Just in the 20th minute of the game, the French team, which was not very dominant in the game, was hit hard again!

At that time, Pirlo sent a long pass in the middle circle. Tony, who wasted two good opportunities in this game, finally calmed down this time. Facing Pirlo's long pass, after resisting Abidal, who was the guest central defender of the opponent , Tony perfectly unloaded the ball with his right toe!

And it was with this perfect ball protection and stop that Tony got an excellent chance to score against the French goalkeeper Coupe near the penalty spot!

"Ah!" However, just as he adjusted his pace and was about to take a shot, Tony Abidal behind him dribbled the ball and knocked him down inside the French penalty area!

There is no reason for the referee to turn a blind eye to such an obvious foul. In addition, the fouled Abidal was the last defender of the French team during this defense. Therefore, while decisively awarding Italy a penalty kick, today The on-duty referee, Michel from Slovakia, did not hesitate to send off Abidal with a red card!

The game lasted 20 minutes, first one of the generals was injured, and then another was sent off, and a penalty kick was awarded to Italy. Faced with this situation, Domenech, who was standing quietly on the sidelines at this time, really I really want to look up to the sky and sigh, "God, Nima, are you cheating?"

Moreover, when things developed to this point, an even more bizarre thing happened!

That is, since Abidal is the team's central defender, it doesn't matter if he is sent off in other positions. In this position, the person who is sent off must make up for it, even if France must win this game!

Then, a wonderful substitution, plus a hard-working person was born!

That is, in the 7th minute of the game, Franck Ribery, who had just been injured, came on the bench, and Nasri, who played for less than 13 minutes, was so hard, he was replaced again!
