Chapter 446 Playing football with a lunatic
"You're getting stronger again!"
"Of course, people have to make progress!"
In the first half, the Olympic team relied on Yu Liang's free kick to score and returned to the locker room with a tie.
In the player tunnel, Yu Liang and Giuseppe Rossi met unexpectedly.
For Giuseppe Rossi, Yu Liang's progress was terrifying.He vaguely remembered that figure in the Carrington training ground who only knew how to run wildly.Now it has become the core of the team's organization, with the triple crown added, years can really change a person.
"By the way, I'm really looking forward to how powerful you become!"
"I won't let you underestimate it!"
Rossi waved her fist towards Yu Liang, and then returned to the locker room.
"We need to face up to a problem, that is, we have underestimated the host. Obviously in the first half of the game, they showed a strength that did not match the data, and they even had the strength to compete for the championship!"
Italian Olympic team coach Casiraghi's words have been recognized by the Italian players.
Although they were not threatened by the Olympic team in the first half of the game, they were able to remain so calm in the face of a backward situation. There are only two situations.
One is to give up the game directly.The second is that they are waiting for an opportunity.
Obviously, from the subsequent changes of the Olympic team, it can be seen that they are patiently looking for opportunities.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that the Italian team played very conservatively.
"However, I always feel that the championship should be ours, because you are equally talented. So it is time to show your offensive talents in the second half."
When it comes to Italian football, the first thing that comes to mind is defense.They relied on a rock-solid defense to win the World Cup in Germany two years ago.
Obviously Italian football follows this tradition, they never lack tough defensive defenders.
But this Italian Olympic team has done a better job offensively.
When the Italian coach Casiraghi was in the locker room to arrange the offensive tactics for the second half, the locker room of the Olympic team was peaceful, and the players sat and chatted together.They imagined the moment when they were on the podium, and they had great confidence in advancing.
However, after the start of the second half, the Italian team gave them another blow.
In the 53rd minute, after the Italian team passed three consecutive passes in the midfield, Montolivo went straight to the penalty area. Giuseppe Rossi succeeded in anti-offside, and scored in the small penalty area.
Just as the Italian was celebrating the goal, the referee blew his whistle to indicate that Rossi's goal was offside.
The linesman raised the flag resolutely, which relieved the fans in the stadium, and the Olympic players also breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared with attacking, the more difficult thing is to tear apart the Italian team's defense.
The Italian team's attack woke up the Olympic team players.
Only now did they realize that there was still a long way to go before reaching the podium.
The Olympic team, which escaped unharmed, then launched a counterattack.
Without the staunch defense of the first half, the Italian team's defense was a little weaker before the Olympic team's fierce counterattack.
In the 61st minute, the Olympic team tore through the Italian team's defense on the right by passing and cutting.
Yu Liang and Zhang Linpeng played two-for-one in a row. After attracting the defense, Yu Liang kicked a pass from the front of the penalty area.
If the Italian team's defense is slightly vulnerable to the Olympic team's offense.Then the Olympic team's defense is at risk in front of the Italian team's offense.
After consecutive passes penetrated the Olympic team's midfield defense, Montolivo made a diagonal pass to Giovinco on the side.After Qiao Wenke received the ball, he changed direction continuously and dodged the gap, then broke into the penalty area from Yuan Weiwei's side, and passed the inverted triangle to Giuseppe Rossi at the front of the penalty area.The nimble Rossi tapped lightly at the front of the penalty area. After avoiding Liu Wei's shovel, he shot directly. The football was blocked by Feng Xiaoting.
The two sides let go of their hands and feet to attack, making the game more intense.No one would believe that such two teams would play a sleepy game in the first half.
Often the Olympic team's offense here has just ended, and Italy's offense over there has already advanced past halftime.
While the fast-paced offense made the fans hooked, they also figured out one thing, that is, in addition to defense in Italian football, their offense is also very good.
The boiling Workers Stadium reached its peak in the 78th minute.The deafening cheers seemed to be able to overturn the ceiling above the stands.The neat stomp sound seems to be able to crush everything.Fortunately, there was no resonance with the stadium stands.
In the 78th minute of the game, the Olympic team overtook the score.
This attack starts with the Italian team's attack 2 minutes ago.
The long-term offense was unfavorable, and the Italian players began to become impatient. At this time, the two full-backs also provided more and more assists, which made the Italian team's backcourt very empty.
When the Italian team tore through the defense of the Olympic team through continuous triangle passes and split the sides, Zhang Linpeng completed the steal.
Zhang Linpeng's impact is very strong, although the speed is not as fast as the style of writing, but it is not slow.
After stealing the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Yu Liang. Yu Liang passed the ball near the center line with a long diagonal pass, and made a long-distance two-for-one cooperation with Zhang Linpeng.
Because the style of writing was retracted to attract the defense, Zhang Linpeng did not encounter any interference in the assault after catching up with the football.
It's just that Zhang Linpeng didn't do well in the last cross. The football didn't go over the Italian team's central defender Cristozzi.
But there was something wrong, and Kristocchi didn't expect that Zhang Linpeng's pass was so bad, so when he cleared the header, he acted completely instinctively, and he didn't control the landing point.
Wen Feng kicked, frightened Kristocchi to jump up to defend, then easily turned around and broke into the penalty area with a dunk. After attracting Viviano to attack, he picked a pass to the middle of the penalty area.Liu Liang in the middle of the penalty area made a diving jump and headed the ball into the goal before the opponent's central defender Bocchetti.
After scoring the goal, Liu Liang looked very excited. After jumping up, he waved his fists in the penalty area and kept yelling at Bocchetti.
Liu Liang, who is usually taciturn, rarely makes such celebrations. Obviously, this goal is very important to him.
To paraphrase his words in an interview many years later, this goal completed a self-breakthrough in his career path.
Liu Liang's goal not only helped him complete his career breakthrough, but also sent the Olympic team to the semi-finals.
Although the Italian team relentlessly strengthened their offense afterwards, the highly encouraged Olympic team successfully and effectively withstood their attack with their relentless defense in the midfield.
As Rossi said after the game, "This game is not about a group of people, but a group of lunatics!"
After defeating the Italian team 2-1, the Olympic team advanced to the semi-finals.In the semi-finals, they will meet their strong opponent, Nigeria from Africa!
