Faced with the doubts of the Korean team, the Italian team early arranged the starting list for the next game against Spain.
Ceballos, Sogel, Kolber
Lu Yang
Versage, Moric
Scamacca, Nagy, Pirola, Florenzi
Audi
With this lineup, you can say that the Italian team has not recovered, but almost all the highly rated superstar players in this team have rested.
If this lineup were to combine Audi and Florenzi, it would be really young and scary.
Even now, it is very likely that it is one of the World Cup teams with the youngest average age.
But if you want to say that Italy played match-fixing and deliberately let Spain... Lu Yang and Moric, the two core players of the team, how do you explain it?
The Koreans were at a loss for words and didn't know from what angle to complain.
Manero also said in a subsequent interview that this is an inevitable process of upgrading the Italian national team.
They need to let more young people feel and play in important games.
As for the price to pay for this experience, this is something that the Italian team needs to consider and does not need to be worried by the Koreans.
This statement is well founded.
It’s impossible for you to ask someone not to let the next generation play when the generation changes.
Do people like this kind of orderly replacement?
none of your business!
For the Spanish team, this is the best result.
It is true that many fans hope that the Italian team will be completely rotated. It doesn't matter whether it's Moric or not. The key is to let Lu Yang go too.
But Spanish players don't think so.
They want to enter the next stage with dignity and dignity.
Rather than relying on the other party's deliberate letting go.
The latter behavior is insulting to any professional player.
June 24th.
The third round of the World Cup group stage begins.
This is also the final round of the group stage.
Brazil, Japan, Switzerland, and Canada started the competition at the same time to prevent anyone from cheating based on the score.
The Brazilian team rotated appropriately, and Izelet did not come on as a substitute until the 70th minute.
However, the Selecao still beat Canada 4-1, winning three out of three games in the group stage, taking all nine points and advancing easily.
The only goal Canada scored was scored by their young left back Alfonso Boyle.
The youngster plays for the Vancouver Whitecaps of Major League Soccer.
But Yu did not hide his flaws. His defense was poor. Three of the four goals conceded by the Canadian team were related to him.
The Japanese and Swiss teams are locked in a life-and-death battle to compete for the second place in the group.
But the Japanese team soon ushered in a rout.
The Swiss team's stars worked hard to beat Japan 3-1 and grabbed the second promotion spot.
So far, two of the top 16 players in the World Cup have been announced.
Next, there are the matches between the Italian team VS the Spanish team and the South Korean team VS the American team.
It is generally difficult to judge the outcome and score of these two games.
The Spanish team is not in good shape at this World Cup.
And the young Italian team is not necessarily weak. Many of their young players and substitutes are popular stars in the five major leagues.
AC Milan's Soger and Scamacca, Paris Saint-Germain's Ceballos and Pirola, Viola's Versage, Sanremo's Nagy, these stars have gone to most clubs now. Main-level players cannot be substituted.
That is to say, there are so many old monsters in the Italian national team.
Those old monsters may not be much stronger than these young people.
But he is well-known, has rich experience, is more reliable, and is less prone to mistakes, so he became the starter.
Najib? ? ?
Someone is targeting me!
But if they were to fight each other, these young people might not be the losers.
Their impact and imagination are things that older people have lost.
As for the Korean team and the American team.
The Korean team has the upper hand, but their biggest drawback is their habit of using taekwondo.
This kind of seven-injury punch may sometimes destroy your own playing rhythm.
A whistle blew.
Both games start at the same time.
In the first twenty minutes, both the Italian and Spanish teams performed relatively cautiously.
It was obvious that both sides wanted to win.
In the 23rd minute, Spain took the lead in launching the offensive.
Ortiz made a scalpel pass, and Talista entered the penalty area, but he was obviously a little behind the ball.
At this time, Talista's beast edge attribute showed up. He fell to the ground awkwardly, got up and roared angrily at Najib beside him, as if Najib had just tripped him.
Najib and Talista had been teammates and knew this guy very well. He pointed to Pirola next to him, meaning it was him who was standing next to you just now, not me.
Talista blushed and rushed towards Pirola again.
The players of the Spanish team were fighting with the referee for a penalty kick.
But the referee accurately walked towards Talista and showed him a yellow card.
Flip!
And the action is seriously inadequate.
Ortiz was covering his face from behind. Talista was fierce, but he just didn't have enough details, otherwise he would be very likely to become the top striker in world football.
How about letting him come to La Masia Film and Television Academy for further studies?
Teach him to dive, foul, and cover his eyes?
The farce ended quickly.
But Spain's offensive momentum was not interrupted by this flop.
In the 29th minute, Talista, who received a yellow card, learned from his shame and bravely fought hard, completing a steal from Moric.
This steal is suspected of being a foul, but what Talista is best at is playing such side kicks. He got stuck in the referee's blind spot.
Moliqi didn't even have time to complain about Talista and would only pursue him.
But Talista was one step faster and transferred the football to Ortiz next to him.
Ortiz hits another through kick.
This time, the Italian team's defense was completely torn apart.
The gap between Pirola and Nagy is slightly wider.
Dominguez rushed between the two of them.
Nagy and Pirola closed the door and tried to intercept Dominguez.
But they are still too young.
They were too confident in their closing the ball. In order to avoid being called for a foul by the referee after closing the ball, they put their hands behind their backs when they leaned toward each other, trying to prove that their actions were clean.
However, Dominguez accelerated a second time and squeezed sideways between the two of them.
If Nagy and Pirola can fight each other, Dominguez will definitely not be able to get through this time.
boom!
Dominguez entered the penalty area and shot calmly.
Audi failed to save and the ball went into the net.
One to zero!
Spain takes the lead!
"Beautiful! Ortiz's through ball is so accurate!"
"Spain's golden boy has once again become the savior of the Spanish team! Spanish fans applauded him, even though more than half of them had previously criticized Dominguez's move to Chelsea as a betrayal."
"Football is like this, it can make you forget everything. The fans' memory is always only three minutes. As long as you can score, any mistakes you have made before can be forgiven."
After the goal was scored, the Spanish team immediately retreated.
Talista dropped straight back into midfield, acting as a lame beast midfielder.
The foundation of the Spanish team is Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The former has excellent ball control, while the latter's players have extremely high personal qualities.
They want to control the ball backwards, which is torture for anyone.
For fifteen minutes, it was difficult for Italian players to touch the ball.
Many spectators watching the game were almost hypnotized.
Seeing that the first half was coming to an end, the Italian team finally seized an offensive opportunity.
They pressed forward with their troops, trying to break through the Spanish team's gate.
A side that avoids fighting can easily create the illusion that they are weak.
For example, the Spanish team in the past ten minutes.
But actually, are they weak?
They are not weak.
That was just a tactical sign of weakness.
"Oh! Nice steal! Corral's sudden attack obviously caught Makarska by surprise."
"Makarska is a right-back, and now he is still a little uncomfortable at the left-back position."
"Corral makes a long pass! This is the Spanish team's counterattack!"
"As a combination of Real Madrid and Real Madrid, oh no, now it is a combination of Real Madrid and Real Madrid. The Spanish team is a rare team that can play well in passing, controlling and counterattacking!"
"Full speed Enriquez! Too fast!"
"This Lu Yang's teammate in the club was like a sharp arrow piercing the heart of the Italian team! He successfully got the ball and headed towards the Italian team's penalty area!"
"This season, Enriquez has scored 24 goals and provided 17 assists for Real Madrid. The statistics are very gorgeous! He can pass and shoot, which must not be underestimated!"
"Audi strikes! He's going to challenge Enriquez!"
"Enriquez kicked off... and passed the ball! It was actually a pass!"
"Domínguez was the only player to catch up. He left Nagy and Pirola behind and fired into the empty net!"
"This is a very simple goal! Mrs. Enriquez is so selfless!"
"Domínguez rushed towards Henriquez after scoring and the Spanish players were celebrating wildly!"
"Two to zero! If the game ends with this score, the Spanish team will become the first in this group. Although the Italian team can also appear, the second place in the group will theoretically face stronger opponents."
"The Italian team has paid a huge price to hone their young players."
…
During halftime, Manero was drawing tactical boards in the locker room.
"Domínguez's impact is too strong. He is the top impact player in Europe." Manero said, "Talista is also very good at tormenting defensive players and distracting them."
"With only two central defenders, it's difficult for us to ensure that we don't continue to concede goals."
"In the second half, they will definitely stay in the penalty area and play defensive counterattack."
"Once our full-backs come up, there are fewer defensive players. Once they counterattack, it basically means conceding the ball."
"We need to strengthen the protection of the penalty area, and at the same time... we also need to find ways to strengthen the offense!"
The Italian team does not want to lose.
They can lose, but this game has to be played to win.
Otherwise, the purpose of this game to train young people will be wasted.
Lu Yang said from the side: "Three central defenders! Four forwards!"
Manero frowned.
Lu Yang continued: "The three central defenders have better coverage of the frontier of the penalty area, and one more central defender can mark Dominguez throughout the whole process. As long as Dominguez cannot rush up or is brought down early, the Spanish team will not be able to create a threat. attack."
"Although the three central defenders will give up the wings to the opponent, if Spain wants to use the wings, it must invest more energy. A simple counterattack will not work. Once they come out, our offense will be easier to play."
"Exchange flaws for flaws. Those of us who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. It is not a loss."
"On the offensive line, add one more person, both wings fly together + two dragons play with beads, no matter what, you have to kick in a few!"
Lu Yang has great confidence in his teammates.
After studying it, Manero felt it was feasible.
So in the second half, fans were surprised to find that the Italian team had made lineup adjustments.
"Lahm replaced Scamacca, the left back, and Chiesa replaced Florenzi. The Italian team is going to switch to three central defenders!"
"As expected, there are three central defenders, but on the front line, they..."
"Four forwards? Ceballos, Soger, Kolber, Chiesa, the Italian team is really trying their best!"
"3214! The Italian team is very bold! It can be seen that they really want to score goals."
After this adjustment, the Spanish team's defensive pressure immediately increased.
If they don't play the football up front, they will have to change from facing a four-person press to a five-person press.
In the 59th minute, the Spanish team had no choice but to make a big save and kick the football forward.
Najib fought for a header and gave the ball to Moric.
Moric passed the ball to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang kept passing the ball and shooting quickly!
Directly through the left wing.
Ceballos broke out of the siege, caught up with the football on the left side of the penalty area and swept it with one kick.
Kolber shot forward, but was a step too late and did not touch the football.
But it doesn't matter, Sogel in the middle is in the right position and shoots!
But Lu Yang’s club teammate Luis reacted too quickly.
He actually blocked the football with his feet.
The football bounces backwards.
Chiesa raised his foot and shot in an irregular position.
Dang!
Louis saved the ball for the second time, but this time he just threw it into the side netting.
The football is still within goal range.
"GOAL! It's terrible! Lu Yang launched an attack! Ceballos swept in front of the goal! The Italian team's three ghosts hit the goal!"
"Chiesa scored with a supplementary shot and scored in two consecutive World Cups!"
"This young player performed so brilliantly!"
"One to two! The Italian team got a goal back! As long as there is a draw, they can secure their first place in the group!"
"The next one who will suffer is the Spanish team. Can they attack or not?"
"If they don't attack, they may not be able to defend it! If they do, they will have a better offensive success rate than the Italian team!"
In the end, the Spanish team chose to defend.
Even if the Italian team's goal cannot be prevented, as long as the time is delayed, the Spanish team can qualify.
There are still thirty minutes left, and it is not too difficult to control the goals conceded to zero and one, right?
In the 77th minute, the Spanish team knew how difficult it was.
After Ceballos and Versage on the left had done a lot of wing coordination, they suddenly made a wide-range transfer and gave the football to the right.
After receiving the ball, Chiesa shook continuously and even shook Ava away.
boom!
Chiesa seized the opportunity and crossed the ball.
Sogel jumped high in the penalty area, and then... was pushed to the ground by Rubio, unable to compete for the top.
The referee blew his whistle and pointed his finger at the penalty spot!
Rubio was also shown a yellow card.
The players of the Spanish team argued hard, but they were really unreasonable.
Rubio violated Soger's cylinder in the air.
Otherwise Soger will definitely be able to top the football.
Who makes Soger taller than Rubio?
This is the most embarrassing point on the defensive end of the small center back.
The Italian team has no shortage of big men.
That is to say, this is Sogel, only 1.89 meters tall.
If it were the taller and stronger Perrotta, this ball wouldn't even give Rubio a chance to push him, and he could complete the header attack by shaking his head in place!
Lu Yang walked to the penalty spot holding the football.
Lewis looked at Lu Yang with all his attention.
As a club teammate, he knew that Lu Yang's penalty kick was nothing special, he was just so fast!
It is not difficult to judge the direction of Lu Yang's shot, but the difficulty is that it is faster than football.
Soon, everyone exited the restricted area.
Lu Yang put down the football and backed away slowly.
The referee blows the whistle.
Lu Yang started to run.
Three big steps later, there was a bang.
The football hangs directly to the left of the goal!
That is the right-angled area where the beams and columns intersect.
This is almost an absolute dead zone.
No one takes a penalty kick here.
Because it's too easy to fly.
But Lu Yang...
After experiencing a penalty kick saved in the Champions League final, he was not intimidated, but pursued the ultimate even more!
Transformed!
"Two to two!"
"Lu Yang scored with a penalty shot! The Italian team equalized the score!"
"First in the group! The Italian team has risen back to first in the group!"
"This Italian youth team is very tenacious! They already have first-class standards! With the help of Italian veterans, they have a lot to do in this World Cup!"
The pressure is on the Spanish team.
Italy chases two goals in a row, will Spain still defend it?
Can you hold it?
At this moment, there was a strange movement on the coaching bench.
Because the coaching staff of both sides have received the news.
On another court, the Korean team leads the US team 2-0!
And depending on the situation, the Korean team is still in a position to score goals.
If Spain concedes another goal, it will tie the score with South Korea.
The outcome of both sides is a tie.
Just look at the goal difference.
The goal difference between the two sides will most likely be the same at that time.
That depends on the number of goals scored.
There are too many uncertain possibilities for the Spanish team.
At the critical moment, it was the Italian team that took the lead in making adjustments and helped the Spanish team make the decision.
"Cortino replaced Versacci. This was a matchup substitution, but it actually showed that the Italian team had the intention of retreating at any cost."
"Cortino is a defensive midfielder."
"Maniello has verified the combat effectiveness of this group of young substitutes. The next step is to reduce injuries, preserve strength, and face the knockout rounds. The thinking is very clear, and he is worthy of being a famous coach of the generation."
Spain breathed a sigh of relief.
Two to two is pretty good.
They have one point more than the South Korean team and qualify directly.
But the so-called man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation.
In the 80th minute, Cortino, who had just come on, passed the ball and found Moric, who had switched positions with Lu Yang.
Moric stood at the top of the penalty area and passed back?
What a waste of opportunity!
boom!
Moliqi's long shot was earth-shattering.
Mebarak jumped up and tried to block the goal with his body.
But I never thought that the block was blocked, but it caused a change in the football line.
The football flew directly towards Luiz's feet and into the net.
Three to two!
The Italian team reversed the score!
Moliqi has made a contribution!
The Italian players started celebrating.
The players of the Spanish team could only look at Mebarak and were speechless.
If you want to block, block well, or don't block at all.
How about you playing three-dimensional marbles?
Shakira in the stands also shook her head, Maybarak's performance was too bad.
In comparison, Lu Yang, who had just scored a goal, was so fascinating.
With that determined look in his eyes, I wonder if he would be so cute when he is doing other things!
The director keenly captured Shakira's expression and showed it on the big screen.
The gold-rimmed white No. 7 jersey she wore clearly expressed her stance.
The key is that Spanish fans cannot be dissatisfied with this.
Because what they are wearing is not the jersey of the Italian team, but the jersey of La Liga Real Madrid.
The changes here were immediately known to the Korean team.
draw!
Completely flat!
The points and the relationship between victory and defeat are all even.
But the goal difference is zero for Spain and one for South Korea.
If they score one more goal, they will have the same goal difference and number of goals scored as Spain.
At that time, it may be possible for Spain and South Korea to rematch or draw lots.
If the Spanish team can be defeated and advance to the knockout rounds, then the South Korean team's goal of participating in this World Cup will be considered completed.
The Korean players went crazy.
The Taekwondo they had restrained for eighty minutes was finally used.
Due to official reasons, the relationship between Koreans and Americans is very abnormal.
The more high-end and macroscopic it is, the more South Korea licks the United States.
But the lower the class and the more individual, the more Koreans hate Americans.
After all, they are not stupid. They know how they are being bullied, but they are unable to resist.
Finally, I was able to torture this stepfather in football, but it was for the sake of the broadest masses.
How could they hold back?
The American team, who didn't understand the situation, was immediately stunned.
In the 85th minute, the Americans finally realized that the Koreans did it on purpose. They were kicking people instead of kicking balls.
As the left winger of the US team was kicked away by a Korean player.
A large-scale fight finally broke out.
So far, vicious fights have occurred in all the games that the South Korean team has participated in this World Cup.
After the game, they are likely to receive additional penalties from FIFA.
In the end, one player each from the Korean team and the US team was sent off the field with a red card, and many players received yellow cards.
On the American team's side, the left winger was seriously injured, most likely with a broken rib.
They could only replace substitute left winger Matt Bridge.
This was an unknown youngster playing for a team that wasn’t even a member of MLS, but an equally unknown “Pennsylvania Classic” football club.
The biggest reason why he was selected for the U.S. national team is because he tried out for Chelsea, Bayern, Dortmund, Manchester United, Barcelona and many other teams.
That's the situation for Team USA.
There is no need for you to have played in Europe. As long as you have tried out, you are considered excellent here.
But the youngster's appearance brought unexpected effects to everyone.
Only one minute into the game, Bridge dribbled the ball into the Korean team's penalty area and was fouled by the Korean team and knocked down, successfully creating a point!
The veteran midfielder of the US team took the penalty kick and successfully hit it!
Countless curses came from the South Korean team's coaching bench.
The head coach of the South Korean team angrily criticized the fourth referee, shouting about match-fixing and black whistle, and was finally sent off the field with a red card by the referee.
They can't catch up with the Spanish team!
In terms of goal difference, they were suddenly two goals behind!
In the 95th minute, it was Matt Bridge who seized the opportunity of a counterattack and rode alone thousands of miles away, once again stabbing the South Korean team's goal.
Two to two!
Then, the game ends.
The United States scored its only points in the World Cup in the past sixteen years.
Although defeated, it is still glorious.
The South Korean team ranks third in the group with two points.
Spain has four points. Although it lost to the Italian team, it still successfully qualified.
The Italian team won three out of three games in the group stage and took all three points, almost following in the footsteps of Brazil.
This also puts a certain amount of pressure on many teams that are aiming to win the championship.
Everyone else has a nine-point score, but my seven-point score feels like it's stretching my crotch a bit?
For a time, the French team, the German team, the Argentine team and other teams all came up with main-level lineups while qualifying early.
This makes many teams who thought they could be let go miserable.
The quality of the final round of this World Cup is therefore ridiculously high!
After the game, many Spanish teams immediately issued trial invitations to Matt Bridge, the best player in the game, and expressed their willingness to accept Bridge's joining.
Because this kid saved Spain!
Bridge was moved to tears during the post-match interview. He said that he had seen the sun set at four o'clock in the morning in London, waited until sunset with others in Manchester, walked in despair on the streets of Barcelona, and was in a bar in Munich. Get drunk.
"I didn't get notification of my successful trial in Barcelona, but I met Lu when I was packing up my things to leave at La Masia. He took a photo with me. He also encouraged me and said, I'm excellent, I just don't fit here. It's like he doesn't really fit in there."
“He told me that as long as I kept working hard, I would always find a place to prove myself.”
"But I didn't expect that this place would be the World Cup!"
"Before that, I liked my friends to call me 'little Madeira' because I liked Madeira when he was at Barcelona, then he went to Real Madrid and now he goes to Paris..."
"But since that day, I have been practicing dribbling and passing people hard, because I know that my technical characteristics and physical conditions cannot become the next Lu, but I hope that one day I can pass everyone like Mateo." , and then pass the ball to Lu!"
Mateo? ? ?
So why don't I just pass the ball to Lu?
Why spend all that time trying to surpass others?
Is it a shame?
The thoughts of groupies are too scary, and Mateo said he couldn't accept it.
Next door, Lu Yang, who was being interviewed, was not surprised when he learned that he also had a little fan in the US team. That is a place that respects the strong. Lu Yang and Sophia had already experienced it in Hollywood.
"I remember him, he was very special." Lu Yang said with a smile, "In fact, I went to find Mateo. Mateo was going to give some advice to the children who had succeeded in the trial training. encouraging words."
"And Bucciri's back looks very similar to Mateo's. They are both short and a little bald at the top of the head..."
Mateo? ? ?
The reporter corrected: "It's Bridge, not Bucciri."
Lu Yang said: "Yes, I am talking about Qibri. Come on, I am optimistic about you! Just as I wholeheartedly want to lead Italian football to re-emerge and lead Chinese football to the world, I hope that one day you can also become your American football leader. Captain America!”
For a time, the words "Captain America" hit the screen all over the world.
After Chiesa, Matt Bridge also became famous with one goal.
World Cup, the place where miracles are born!
NBA? ? ?
