Super Training Master - V5.5 Chapter 306
Italian coach Prandelli returned to the locker room early. Fiction”*
In the games of England and Italy, a goal is very important. Before the game, many media judged that the two teams will decide the penalty by a penalty kick. The most important thing is that the media think that it is difficult for the two teams to score goals. , 1o minutes is also difficult.
In such games, a goal can even determine victory.
Although it seems to be only one ball behind, the situation in Italy is very crisis. In the case of one goal behind, Prandelli considers defense.
In the first half of the game, the Italian defense didn’t seem to make any big mistakes. The only goal came from the opponent’s quick counterattack, or the opponent’s core player scored well. It seems that it was Pirlo’s mistake. Actually, It is the overall formation of Italy.
When England quickly counterattacked, Italy had no one in the backcourt and could not intercept the attack.
How did that happen?
Rhythm!
Prandelli clearly saw this, the pace of the first half of the game was gradually accelerated, as the players adapt to the game, the English team led by Morris, the rhythm became faster and faster, while Italy Unable to adapt to this rhythm, especially Pirlo, his football has been slow, perhaps because of Pirlo’s football, it made the whole Italy a little uncomfortable, and in the offensive running, the formation was somewhat evacuated. Going up in the frontcourt and not keeping up in the back, it also caused an unstable defense.
Italy played an advantage last time and once suppressed England, but that was caused by the retreat of England formation, not how much strength the team really has.
Prandelli saw something, and he kept pacing in the dressing room.
The players returned to the locker room one by one. Their mood was not very good. Most of them bowed their heads and did not speak. Even if they talked, they whispered, making the atmosphere in the room very strong.
Cassano walked in with Barzagli.
Cassano is complaining about Barzalí ’s defensive ‘mistakes’, and Barzalí explained, “I did n’t expect him to be so strong, my shoulder hurts when I hit it … it should be a foul …”
“What foul, you just can’t hit him!”
Cassano was merciless.
The two pushed in the door and happened to see Prandelli ’s cold company. He did n’t speak anymore. Prandelli did n’t seem to want to let them go. He looked at Cassano and asked, “You just said What did you say outside the door? ”
“Nothing, coach …”
Cassano was startled and quickly responded.
“No, just what you said to Andrea?”
Cassano was a little embarrassed and explained, “I said just now that Andrea can’t hit Morris. That guy is very strong. That hurt his shoulder …”
Prandelli nodded and continued to think pacingly.
The players in the locker room did not dare to speak loudly. While they were doing their own business, they were also paying attention to Prandelli, waiting for the head coach to speak.
Prandelli is having an idea and wants to change his strategy.
He noticed that in the last half of the first half, the smell of gunpowder gradually increased between the two teams, and the team continued to have physical conflicts with each other, so the England team chose to shrink the defense to ensure the safety of the goal. Then, can the second half increase this? Kind of physical conflict, let the smell of gunpowder escalate?
Then the team can win in chaos!
If it is a general game, the strong smell of gunpowder is not a good thing for the two teams, because many players will eat, but this is the quarterfinals of the European Cup. A game is a tiebreaker. If you lose the game, you will be eliminated directly. It does n’t matter if you do n’t eat cards, you must win the game to be eligible to consider this issue.
If you can take advantage of this, even if you get a few yellow cards, it will be worth it even if you are sent off.
After thinking about it, Prandelli explained to the players the second half of the game. The overall play is unchanged. The only thing is to increase the ‘physical confrontation’. “We will fight for the last moment!”
Prandelli’s statement is somewhat implicit, but all players understand it.
That is to fight a war!
Many players are good at technology, not physical confrontation, they like to play beautiful football, but it does not mean that they will not use some strange tactics, can stand out in the top league, become a big star player, are Quite experienced.
Many teams often use everything to win the game, especially the famous ‘bad guy’ like Cassano. Hearing the head coach ’s statement, it is even more about fighting.
————
England’s locker room.
Wan Sheng also thought of confrontation, because at the end of the first half, England became very passive in order to defend the goal.
This reminded him.
Wan Sheng didn’t know that Prandelli would let Italy play that kind of ‘shameful’ style of play, but if the gunpowder smell upgrades in the first half, guarding this goal, the team will always shrink, so he still has some explanations for the players of.
“This is not a technical game, we don’t need to play beautiful football, just win!”
“Don’t be afraid to fight with each other, we are much stronger than them!”
“I dare say that Italy is a weak chicken …”
This sentence made the players in the locker room laugh, but Wan Sheng ’s next reminder is very important, “It must be remembered, be sensible, the game is the game, the physical conflict is normal, and do n’t get caught because the opponent fouls. Anger stuns our heads, we need to stay awake at all times. ”
“If you really do something, the happiest is the opponent, they want us to be angry!”
After that, Wan Sheng continued to emphasize defense, “No matter what those Italians do, we must continue to defend. As long as we defend the defense, we can win the game. To win the championship, we must first enter the semi-finals, only 45 Minutes, continue to hold, we will definitely win! ”
————
The second half of the game began.
During the halftime, many media commentators and football analysts have a prejudgement to the game. They think that the second half will be more intense. Italy is one goal behind, and it will definitely increase the offensive. The game will also become relatively good-looking.
But when the second half starts, everyone is not that simple.
The game did not look good, but it was even more ugly. From the first minute, the two sides fell into an endless physical fight.
It’s like a wrestling scuffle, not a football match.
The players on both sides are constantly entangled in the body, instead of organizing a gorgeous offensive, the game has no technical content, and the conflict between the two sides seems to be intensifying.
In ten minutes, the two teams had only one shot.
It was a pass from Pirlo. Cassano drove the ball into the penalty area to complete the shot, but this shot did not threaten the English goal, because Cassano shot in the case of losing the center of gravity, the football deviated from the goal post far away from the baseline .
This only shot is not ornamental, and the game is drowsy.
The players on both sides are very spirited. Every defense and offense is a challenge to their bodies. Even Pirlo and Morris are caught in it. In the direct confrontation between the two, Morris slightly prevailed, but It did not bring much effect.
This kind of game makes the head referee a headache and the pressure becomes very great.
He had to continually whistle to suspend the game. Every penalty must be considered very comprehensively to maintain a stable situation and prevent fierce conflicts. If any player is dissatisfied because of the referee’s penalty, then he will be held responsible.
Italian coach Prandelli felt that the play he had set had an effect.
This kind of game looks chaotic, but it is good for Italy.
England cannot organize a stable offensive and defense needs more confrontation. Italy has the opportunity to create goals in the chaos. As long as it can score a goal and tie the score to 1 to 1, the situation will be very beneficial to the team. .
Prandelli began to look forward.
But in fact, the Italian players on the game are very painful, they are doing according to Prandelli’s arrangement, but in the physical collision, they now do not have the advantage.
England is not easy to deal with!
Most English players have a big chunk, such as Gerrard, Rooney, Terry, and even Morris. These people are very difficult to tangle. They are as hard as iron, and they fight against them physically. Very unwise, but they have to do it.
For some time, some players couldn’t stand it.
They feel sore …
De Rossi is one of them. As a native Roman, De Rossi has a size of 184cm. This height is not bad in professional football. The weight of 8 kilograms also makes De Rossi always think that he is a very strong person. .
De Rossi felt very excited when he heard the coach’s play style. He thought it was time to use his advantage.
England and Italy are constantly fighting, and most of them were born in the midfield. De Rossi is one of the most involved players. He has many opportunities to ‘play well’. After several collisions in a row, De Rossi began to doubt his strength. Attitude.
Competing with Morris, he was squeezed away …
When he met Terry, he was almost knocked to the ground …
Finally, I met Ashley Young who was good at dealing with it. As a result, the other person’s seemingly thin body, but his bones were as hard as iron, making his abdomen always painful.
“Asshole …”
This time, De Rossi and Morris snatched the ball and once again nearly fell to the ground, he could not help but scolded. Fortunately, the referee suspended the game and warned Morris to calm his mind. , But he also felt a little unbearable.
“Are these guys from fighting?”
De Rossi said to Pirlo, which of course was meaningless, and Pirlo also looked helpless.
Pirlo rarely participates in the fight, but it does not mean that he is not strong. He even said that he is one of the strongest players in the Italian team. Just now he also directly confronted Morris twice. Whether technical or physical, he all It’s all downwind.
Pirlo was not reconciled, but several times down, he also had to admire Morris’ ability, as the media described it, “Morris is definitely one of the best football players in the world.” The game is difficult.
At this time Pirlo could not help but glanced at the coach seat.
Now the Italian team is at a disadvantage, and the offense has not fallen. He hopes that Prandelli can stand up and do something, even if he can boost morale and let everyone continue to believe in it.
At this time, Prandelli also felt wrong.
Nearly 2o minutes passed in the second half. The team did not seem to have any advantage in the confrontation, but the other side became more and more used to this kind of game.
This is very bad for Italy.
Is there any way?
Prandelli did n’t know what to do. He thought of winning in a chaos. This method is the best when he is one ball behind, but the most surprising thing is that the team and the opponent are fighting each other. Advantage.
“When will this England become an African team?”
Prandelli is very puzzled. In terms of body work, the same is the European team, Italy is not too passive, but the situation on the field is like this, 2o minutes have passed, Italy is already at a disadvantage, on the field Some players obviously can’t persevere, and fight hard with opponents, most of them will be the losing side.
England also used the opportunity to constantly attack, even threatening the Italian goal.
What should we do now?
Pradley can only pray for the team in his heart ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ The game change appeared in the 76th minute of the game.
After a 3o minute contest, the physical fitness of both players could not keep up. Both England and Italy showed fatigue. The fierce confrontation consumed not only physical fitness, but also huge energy. Some players ran obviously changed. not enough.
The exhaustion of physical energy and energy has also increased the errors of both parties.
This time Ashley Young passed the ball back and was snatched by Marchisio. Italy saw a chance to counterattack and immediately rushed forward, but Marchisio made a mistake, he wanted to go backwards. The pass was steady, but I didn’t expect to pass directly to Morris.
Italy’s offensive stopped, followed by England’s counterattack.
Morris got this unexpected opportunity, reacted for the first time, quickly forward the ball, he rushed past Pirlo who wanted to defend, rushed over Balzaretti on the side, and defender Barr Before Zally came to defend, he sent the ball to Welbeck.
Welbeck got it and transferred to Rooney across.
Rooney got the ball and continued to rush, but was caught by the central defender Bonucci, and then he chose to knock the ball back to Gerald.
Gerald didn’t hesitate anymore, struck the ball and shot at the ball!
“Gerard–”
“Shoot!”
Italian goalkeeper Buffon Fei saved himself. He pulled the ball out of the goal line with both hands to resolve the danger. The Italian fan in the audience took a long breath, but he immediately raised his heart.
The football flew to Rooney!
Faced with this good opportunity, Rooney swung his foot without hesitation, and drew the ball directly into the goal without anyone’s handle.
“Goa1! Rooney!”
“The goal is scored!”
“In the 76th minute, the England team led Italy 2-0!”
