Chapter 466 The team advances ahead of schedule!

Conte's adjustments worked quickly.

When the game progressed to the 25th minute, the Swedish team, which had been unable to attack for a long time, made a pass error in the frontcourt.

Wayne Bloom's pass to Ibrahimovic was successfully intercepted by Chiellini ahead of time. Once the latter had the ball, he passed it directly to the left, allowing Candreva to dribble forward.

At this time, after the Swedish team attacked many times, the defense line began to gradually press up. As a result, even the two central defenders had entered the Italian half, and there was nothing behind them, completely exposed to Italian artillery fire.

After taking the ball, Candreva took a few steps and sent a forward pass.

Pellet, who hadn't shown anything today, made a diagonal run and sprinted forward on the left.

And at this time in front of him, the only player left in the Swedish team is Isaacsson, the goalkeeper!

Behind Pellet, Lindelof began to catch up.

Before the game, Pan Yi warned the Swedish players that Pellet is the main scorer in Italy, so you can't give him too good a chance to shoot!

For the defensive players, it is their duty to watch Pellet.

So even though Pellet was already speeding up and running, Lindelof was still chasing after him, with no intention of giving up at all.

Fortunately, Candreva's direct pass was played between right back Johansson and central defender Granqvist in order to avoid the Swedish defenders, so the line of the ball was a bit biased to the left. borderline.

So when Pellet chased, in order to be able to catch the ball, he always chased along the left sideline.

In addition, speed itself is not Pellet's strong point, so it took a little longer to catch the ball.

Although Lindelof started slowly, but the straight-line distance was short, he caught up.

In this way, the two players confronted each other on the left side of the Swedish penalty area.

Pellet stopped the ball, Lindelof blocked his route to the penalty area, and the two formed a one-on-one contest.

Almost at the same time as he stood in his position, Lindelof recalled in his mind the tactical preparation draft that Pan Yi handed over to each of their players through the coaching staff before the game.

This reflects Pan Yi's meticulous preparations before the game!
In his tactical preparations, there are precautions for defense against Pellet.

It is mentioned in it that Pellet's finishing ability, heading ability, key passing ability and through ball ability are all very strong, but his ability to control the ball is his weakness.

And Pellet still has the characteristic of liking two to one in the game.

Therefore, when a defensive player faces Pellet alone, the focus is to prevent his pass and cooperate with his teammates.

And if Pellet wanted to forcibly pass someone, he wouldn't use any fancy moves, basically just a feint and then a straight move.

Then the defensive players need to lower their center of gravity, don't make moves lightly, and after seeing the actual direction of Pellet's movement, they need to find the opportunity to steal the ball.

Sure enough, after seeing that the nearby teammates hadn't come up yet, Pellet could only choose to make a personal breakthrough.

The Italian wanted to make a fake move, but to his dismay, Lindelof just moved his body and stood still, but he didn't follow his set.

Lindelof's one-on-one defense is still very good!

Perhaps it is a bit difficult to deal with dexterous forwards like Messi and Hazard, but a fulcrum center like Pellet can still handle it.

After Pellet wobbled, there was nothing to do. The main reason was that he was really not very good at one-on-one dribbling, which he himself knew better than anyone else.

What he is best at is running without the ball and shooting directly behind him. Of course, the most powerful thing is the ability to compete for high-altitude balls.

Seeing Lindelof's reluctance, Pellet had no choice but to make a one-shot deal and go hard!
Otherwise, this "quasi-single-handed" opportunity will be lost.

But as soon as Pellet started, Lindelof had already predicted the direction of his ball.

I saw Lindelof leaning over, blocking between Pellet and the ball, then stretched out his legs to block, and easily intercepted the ball.

He then delivered another forward pass to Forsberg, who then gave Sweden a counterattack.

Seeing the failure of the attack, Pellet sighed, and looked at Lindelof in front of him. He felt that this kid seemed to have premeditated, and he should have known where he was going to go.

And Lindelof secretly marveled at his coach's meticulous guidance, he really deserves to be a world famous coach!Every move of the opponent is under my control, how can I not be able to prevent it.

He couldn't help but glanced sideways at the coach's bench, and saw that Pan Yi was looking at him with a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with his defense this time.

How to put it, although Lindelof is not the world's top central defender, he is very calm and confident on the defensive end. In the Benfica team, his teammates call him "Iceman".

This nickname means that no matter what happens on the court, Lindelof has a calm face and a cool look.

Playing as a central defender requires such qualities, to be calm in every major event, otherwise, he would not have been picked up by Manchester United and stayed there for many years.

"You won't be so lucky next time!" Pellet yelled at Lindelof angrily.

He knew that this time his weakness was completely grasped by the opponent.

Then next time, he will use his own advantage to overwhelm his opponent!
Soon, when Italy launched a counterattack the next time, Pellet ran from the left to the center from the beginning and signaled his teammates to hit him on the head.

Florenzi's pass came to Pellet almost as soon as he reached the penalty spot in the penalty area.

Pellet jumped high and was about to shake his head and attack the goal!
But at this moment, Lindelof and Granqvist were like two mountains, blocking his left and right sides, forming a male left and right. Pellet was covered in a big man immediately, and his head shaking was also affected. .

Granqvist, who was behind Pellet, took the opportunity to jump a head high and headed the ball first, ruining the attack.

This is also Pan Yi's order before the game, for Pellet's double-team mode when he competed for the top.

One of Italy's regular offensive methods is to hang the ball into the penalty area and let Pellet grab the first point.

Pellet hits the goal if he can, and hits it if he can't. Then Edel grabs the second point.

The focus at this time is the first point of defense against Pellet, so he does not hesitate to use two central defenders to flank him together.

At this time, of course, Edel was not left alone.

The full-back close to Eder, which may be Olsson or Johansson, will be close to Eder at this time, pay attention to the second landing, and then defend.

But obviously, the second point of protection is unnecessary this time, because the first point of double-teaming tactics has been successful!

This also made Pellet helpless.

He can't do it on the ground, and he can't do it in the air, so what should he do?
-
Italy's counterattack has been unable to open the situation for a long time, while Sweden's side is clearing the clouds and seeing the moon.

Their attack finally paid off!
In this 4-3-3 system, captain Ibrahimovic is undoubtedly the most powerful offensive weapon in the Swedish team.

In order to protect this weapon from being frozen by the reinforced concrete in Italy, Pan Yi asked Ixa and Guidetti to pull it for him on the wing.

Either pass from the bottom, or attract defensive pressure after cutting inside, these are all hoping to fully display Ibrahimovic's strength and let him have more shining moments!

And these shells that were continuously delivered to him eventually brought down the Italian city wall!
In the 40th minute, it was originally a counterattack by Italy. After Pellet's side failed, Italy wanted to go to Eder's side this time.

But Olsson and Lindelof combined to intercept the ball, and Olsson dribbled the ball along the left side and passed it to Isaac for a quick counter-attack.

In this counterattack, Ibrahimovic got ample running space in the middle.

He first deliberately ran to the left, as if he was going to meet Isaac, which immediately made Chiellini and De Rossi, who was chasing back, focus their attention on the left.

But Isaac chose to pass the ball to Forsberg, who pulled the Italian central defender Bonucci out when he dribbled the ball in the middle.

I saw Ibrahimovic suddenly change the line from the left to the right, because Chiellini and De Rossi's attention was on the left just now, and the sudden change of line caught them off guard. Time to catch up, but Forsberg has already rushed the ball to the far post before Bonucci.

It's just that Fosberg's pass was a little time-consuming, so he used more strength. The ball was passed a little faster, and it seemed to have passed the top of Ibrahimovic's head and was about to go out of the baseline.

But at this moment, Ibrahimovic stretched into the air, hooked the ball abruptly with the heel of his right foot, and directly formed a shot!
This is a scorpion wagging its tail, Ibrahimovic's iconic but unconventional shooting action!

Such an action, even the experienced Buffon has no way to make a prediction.

When Buffon reacted, the ball almost rubbed against the right post and got into the net!

"Goal!!!!!!!!! Beautiful goal!!!!!!"

The on-site commentator almost wanted to rip his own throat and shout loudly!
"The Swedish team finally scored a goal!!! Sweden leads Italy 1-0!!!"

Accompanied by his shouts, all the Swedish fans stood up from their seats immediately and shouted loudly.

"In the 40th minute, the Swedish team finally broke through the Italian team's goal!"

"It was a deserved goal for Sweden, who put a lot of pressure on Italy throughout the first half, attacked like a wave, but never managed to score."

"Now, Ibrahimovic finally opened the scoring for the Swedish team with a wonderful goal, and also scored his third goal in this European Cup!"

"It's a beautiful scorpion tail! Very few players can do this when shooting, but it is not uncommon for Ibrahimovic."

"In fact, as early as the European Cup in 2004, he once staged such a trick. At that time, the opponent was also the Italian team, and the Italian goalkeeper was also Buffon!"

"Brilliant, very good goal, forgive me for having to repeat myself, but it's the truth!"

When the camera was refocused on Ibrahimovic, the Swedish super striker was already standing on the sidelines, with his arms raised high, posing a unique posture and expression of Ibrahimovic.

He used this posture of dominating the world to accept the cheers and applause from the Swedish fans in the stands, accepting their praise and worship!

"Ibrahimovic's goal was brilliant, and his cooperation before scoring this goal was also commendable."

"Isaac's push from the left, Ibrahimovic's feint and interlude in the middle, and Forsberg's last pass, and of course Ibrahimovic's shot...all seem to be mixed and natural, all in one go!"

"Although they all rely on Ibrahimovic to score goals, Pan Yi's Swedish team is obviously different from the predecessor Hamlen who only thoughtlessly forwarded to find Ibrahimovic."

"The three arrows of this Swedish team are even more difficult to defend! Under such an offensive system, if the Italians only defend Ibrahimovic, they will also suffer, because Isaac also has a strong ability to shoot inside."

"What is a world famous coach?" The on-site commentator was obviously very excited after Ibrahimovic's goal. I don't know if he is a fan of Pan Yi or the Swedish team. "This is a world famous coach!"

Of course, Pan Yi, who was blown up by the commentator, was also very excited at this time.

Because he knows very well that now that he has scored a goal, the Swedish team has taken the lead in the game, and then he will have more confidence in the game.

In this critical group match, one goal can completely change the situation of the entire game, so Ibrahimovic's goal can be said to be crucial.

In this game, the performance of the central axis of Sweden that Pan Yi relied on did not disappoint him.

Lindelof withstood the impact of the Italian cannon and successfully froze the opponent's top scorer;
Fosberg is flexible in running, and the last pass in the frontcourt can often tear apart the opponent's defense;
Ibrahimovic can seize the opportunity and use the most unexpected way to give the Italians the most fatal blow!
This goal made the Swedish team's qualifying situation very clear, and it can also be said that the Swedish team saw the hope of qualifying ahead of schedule! ——
It can be said that since the group of players that Italy won the World Cup in 2006 has gradually aged, Italy has at least lost its star output.

Del Piero, Pirlo, Cannavaro, Nesta, Gattuso, Zambrotta, Totti...

Which of these former stars is not ranked first in world football?
But now, the main players in the Italian team are Parolo, Giacherini, Florenzi, Edel...

Even Pellet, he is obviously not the world's top star, nor does he have the strength to support the banner of the Italian striker.

This also has to make people miss the Italian team that once had talented forwards such as Baggio, Vieri, Inzaghi, Totti, and Del Piero.

You can even miss Balotelli in the last European Cup!

The lack of excellent forwards has also prevented Italy from building a complete offensive system for a long time.

Without a striker, without a sharp knife at the front, the system is out of the question!

There is also a decline in the overall strength of the team, because it is not just the striker who is out of gear.

Even in the last European Cup, Italy still has Gattuso, Pirlo and other famous players guarding it, but now Italy is a midfielder composed of Parolo, De Rossi, and Giacherini. From the above, we can see how the combat capabilities of these players are.

So in this game, the Swedish team's tactics are really very simple. After pinching the Italian midfielder and completely suppressing your midfielder, how do you advance the ball?

The attack can only be planned by the long pass of the wing back or the central defender, and the midfielder should be avoided as much as possible.

This style of play is really not effective for a team with excellent frontal defense capabilities like the Swedish team, especially once the scene is contained, it immediately appears very passive.

Conte is not unclear about the situation in the first half.

However, the connection between the Italian backcourt and the frontcourt was cut off time and time again by the Swedes, and the entire tactical layout of Italy was cut into several pieces, and Pellet could only fight alone in the front.

He wants to be the organizer for a while, and rush to the front to be the finisher for a while. How is this possible?

Not to mention that he is Pellet, even if Ibra from the opposite side is brought over, it will be difficult to cover everything.

What's more, Pan Yi on the opposite side really has a clear understanding of the characteristics of the Italian players, and his defense against Pellet is also very effective, which makes the Italian striker completely misfired.

So during the intermission, Conte decided to make some adjustments.

He asked the wingback Candreva on the left and the midfielder Parolo to lean towards Pellet as much as possible, so that they could move forward more actively to help Pellet.

In this way, using small-scale cooperation to avoid Pellet's shortcomings in individual combat capabilities can also allow Pellet to attack in front with more confidence.

As far as Pellet is concerned, Conte's request to him is to "shoot when there is a chance", and don't fall into the defensive trap of the Swedish team and lose the hard-won offensive opportunities in vain.

Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, Italy, which was at a disadvantage, immediately launched a round of attack.

This time, Pellet, who was a strong offensive point, got a chance to get the ball in the 46th minute. When he faced Lindelof again one-on-one in the middle, he didn't give his opponent time to think, so he just swung a ball. Foot, shoot!

However, Pellet gave Lindelof less time and less time for himself.

This caused the shot to fail to hit the goal. The angle was right, but it only allowed Isaacsson to stretch out his hand, adding another successful save.

"Now Italy's offensive and morale are a little bit up, and he must be suppressed!"

Pan Yi on the sidelines also realized the problem.

If Italy is allowed to continue to attack like this, the rhythm and situation of the game will gradually be dragged away by them, which is very detrimental to the Swedish team, so the best way is to nip this threat in its infancy.

"Press the midfielder a little tighter and let Italy go to Giacherini's side more!" Pan Yi immediately made adjustments.

The career of the player Giacherini is very inspirational. In just 3 years, this grassroots player achieved a magical triple jump, from Serie B to Serie A, and then joined the local giants Juventus from the underdog Cesena.

Although not the absolute main force, the bantam still has become an indispensable rotation player for the Bianconeri by virtue of his diligent running and versatility in the frontcourt.

At that time, Juventus was coached by Conte, the current head coach of the Italian national team.

Conte once said to Giacherini, "As long as I coach at Juventus, you will not leave", which shows his trust in Giacherini.

It is precisely because of this that this not-so-well-known player who is currently playing for Bologna has played the main role in this Italian team.

However, Giacherini, who is only 167 cm tall and weighs only 67 kg, is still at a disadvantage compared with the strong men in Sweden in confrontation.

Moreover, his technical level has not reached the level of Pirlo before, or he has the superb dribbling skills like Messi, who is about the same size as him.

Therefore, Pan Yi decided to lure Italy's ball to Giacherini's side, and then focus on grabbing him.

How to seduce?It was the way Pan Yi used to seal one side when he was in the club.

For example, when De Rossi takes the ball, the Swedish players will pay attention to cutting off his connection with Parolo on the other side, forcing De Rossi to pass to Giacherini, and then siege.

Pan Yi's adjustments soon paid off.

The Swedish team quickly repressed Italy, especially in the midfield, completely repressing the momentum of Italy's three midfielders, making it difficult for Italy's striker to be alone again.

In the 70th minute, Ekdal succeeded in stealing the ball at the feet of Giacherini, and then passed it to Forsberg, playing Italy's quick counterattack.

After Fosberg dribbled the ball forward quickly, this time it was assigned to the right side and handed over to Guidetti.

At this time, Florenzi's assist had not yet returned, Chiellini had no choice but to make up, but Guidetti cut the ball to the middle, and then passed the high point of the penalty area with his right foot.

Ibrahimovic and Bonucci seized the position, and when the shooting space was blocked by the opponent, they chose to ferry the header to the back point.

Isaac inserted into the penalty area from the left, and without anyone defending, he shot Ibrahimovic's ferry steadily, and sent the ball into the goal guarded by Buffon again, 2:0!

After the Swedish teenager scored a goal, he turned around excitedly and rushed out of the penalty area, rushed to the sidelines and jumped high, waving his fists.

This is his first goal in this European Cup, and also his first official game goal on behalf of the Swedish national team!And this is only the second official international game he played on behalf of the Swedish team.

And Isaac's goal can almost be said to have established the situation in advance.

After this goal, the Swedish team took the lead in making adjustments instead.

The scoring heroes Ibrahimovic and Isaac, including Forsberg, were all replaced, and Marcus Berry, Kulusevski, and Kellstrom were replaced.

This is another message from Pan Yi: the victory has been decided, and Lao Tzu has died down!
Based on the principle that good players have to save their lives, it's almost time to go down and rest.

After the substitution, Sweden's formation was also changed to 4-5-1, leaving Marcus Berry alone to fight back, while the rest slowed down and focused on defense.

This is exactly the same as the final stage of playing against Ireland!
And Conte had nothing to do with such a Swedish team, and in the last 20 minutes, he couldn't create any decent opportunities at all.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Pan Yi raised his clenched fists high, as if he was declaring the return of his king to the whole world!
The Swedish team qualified from the group of death one round ahead of schedule!
