Starting with Milan as a central defender

Chapter 204 Crazy Suarez (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
Post-match press conference.

Prandelli's answer was very official.

"This is an important victory, it is really difficult to play football in such heat. Costa Rica is a great opponent and we proved our quality in the game, working hard until the last minute and achieving a well-deserved victory victory."

"Of course, this victory does not guarantee Italy's qualification. We still need to continue to work hard."

the other side.

Pinto bows toward the camera.

"We are facing the world champions, and their football quality is very high. I want to praise their players, tactics, physical fitness, everything is perfect. It was a beautiful game."

"I also want to say sorry to the fans, but Costa Rica's World Cup journey is not over yet, and we will try our best!"

Qin Yun and his teammates took a flight back to Rio de Janeiro overnight.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the training base, he saw Maldini and Nesta waiting.

Buffon hugged the old guys enthusiastically, "Paul, it's your birthday in five days, and we will give you a wonderful gift."

"I am looking forward!"

"By the way, we can help you train these days. In the stands today, Alessandro began to regret that he retired too early. A team happened to be looking for him. Maybe you can see him on the field next season. superior."

Maldini smiled and hit Buffon on the chest hard.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Qin."

Maldini suddenly put his arms around Qin Yun's shoulders and smiled mysteriously to the side.

"Hello, I've been following your performance lately and it's great!"

Nesta extended her right hand.

But the mood is a bit hard to describe. A year ago, I received a text message out of nowhere, saying that "illegitimate child" was a mess.
Unexpectedly, this "illegitimate child" actually accomplished something that none of them could do, winning the Triple Crown.

Moreover, Qin Yun is only 18 years old. According to the career lifespan of a central defender, it is probably not too much to play for another 20 years. His future achievements will definitely be even more terrifying.

But should I say it, Qin Yun's style on the court is indeed very similar to his own, and he is also very handsome.

Suddenly thinking that his real son actually liked Chelsea, Nesta felt a little bit envious for no reason.

It would be great if there really was such an "illegitimate child", well, I believe Paul thought so too.

Qin Yun didn't know that the handsome guy in front of him had so much inner drama, so he held Nesta's hand firmly and said, "Thank you very much."

Since it was too late, it didn't take long for everyone to return to the hotel where they were staying.

Qin Yun rubbed his sore shoulders.

This game against Costa Rica was not as difficult as imagined. The main reason was that after Pinto scored the second goal in Italy, he decisively chose to give up offense and choose defense to prevent the goal difference from turning into a negative.

After washing up, Qin Yun lay on the bed and opened the system interface, and immediately heard a cold mechanical sound.

"The main mission is completed."

"Mission reward: Pinto's tactical guide!"

Qin Yun looked at the books in his backpack, probably because Costa Rica didn't have any outstanding star skills to draw from, so...
Open it curiously and read immersively.

If you don’t know, Qin Yun discovered that Pinto’s tactical philosophy has the shadow of Lippi, Mourinho and Van Gaal.

Recalling today's game, the opponent was in a defensive state. Not only did the wing-backs on both sides recover in time, but the double midfielders also retreated to the edge of the penalty area for protection, forming a highly layered central defense.

Very worth learning!

There is never a shortage of geniuses in football, like Guardiola and Mourinho.
But those who are under the light cannot be ignored either.

Unknowingly, I fell into sleep.
late at night.

News about the World Cup quickly appeared on the hot search list.

"One pass and one shot, the Chinese young player performed superbly!" 》

"France defeated Switzerland 5-2. Pogba said after the game: I hope Italy can qualify as No. 2 so that they have a chance to meet us. 》

"Fighting against the odds, playing with life, Ghana tied with Germany 2-2!" 》

"After the game, all members of Ghana expressed their blessings to the Italian players: I hope they can send the devil back to hell!" 》

"Argentina 1-0 Iran, Messi scored a world-beating stoppage time goal!" 》

"European Red Devils 1-0 Russia, Lukaku passed through the door three times but failed to enter, and missed opportunities continuously!" 》
-
[Qin Yun ran a long distance, defeated two people, and shot violently from a long distance. It was so visually impactful. 】
-
[Italy’s strength is not as bad as said before the game! 】
-
[But I still feel like I can’t beat France, they are all young talents]
-
[There is a high probability that both teams will be first in the group and will be divided into upper and lower halves. They will only have a chance to meet in the finals. 】
-
[There is a game against Portugal the day after tomorrow. If we lose to the United States, we will go home early. 】
-
[Cristiano Ronaldo is in poor condition due to injuries and has not yet scored his first goal in this World Cup. 】

The next day.

During this period, in addition to training, there were meetings, which caused the atmosphere in the team to be a bit depressed, so Prandelli gave everyone a half-day off.

However, those who want to go out for fun need to report their itinerary every hour.

When Balotelli heard this, he immediately ran away. He was so depressed at this time that he hurriedly went to find his girlfriend.
Several old guys discussed going to Copacabana and taking Qin Yun with them, which made several young players in the team envious.

Look, he is already hanging out with the big guys in the team.
On the pure white beach
Qin Yun was wearing distinctive floral pants and lying on a beach chair. A pair of large sunglasses covered most of his face.

Even so, he declined the invitations of several big boob girls.

In other words, Maldini, Nesta, and Buffon were all harassed.
The only exception was Chiellini. Some people even saw him and took a detour.

This makes Coconut, who is pure at heart, very sad.
Qin Yun was enjoying the scorching sunbathing while his mobile phone was playing the match between Portugal and the United States.

"Perfect!"

"In the 95th minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo assisted Vareda!"

“Portugal still has a chance!”

"Portugal didn't play well in the first game, but they are still young. The head coach Bento is only 45 years old, and Ronaldo is only 29 years old. 514 years ago, it was the Portuguese navigator who discovered Brazil. Now Cristiano Ronaldo and His friends resumed their adventures in Brazil."

"They are all an exploration of the unknown world. Under the leadership of a young head coach and Cristiano Ronaldo who is in his golden age, the Portuguese team will not give up hope. The Portuguese are not desperate!"

Qin Yun sighed without leaving any trace, recalling the Champions League final that ended not long ago.

evening.

The Italian players all returned refreshed.

At Prandelli's request, another group was practiced in the evening.

This is to keep their muscles active.
Each day then was spent in recovery training and tactical meetings.

Everyone's condition is gradually recovering
During this period, the Italian Presidential Palace came to express condolences, but there was no substantial reward.
6 month 25 day.

Italian players gathered to watch the game.

"At the end of the game, Spain defeated Australia 3-0."

"Success in life is only temporary, and failure is the main theme, but how to face failure divides people into different looks. Some people will be crushed by failure, and some people can keep getting up and moving forward. The Australian team is like this , the same goes for the Spanish team."

"I think true maturity is not the pursuit of perfection, but facing one's own shortcomings. This is the essence of life. Spanish team, let's start over. Isn't the road to climb up more exciting than standing at the top! "

The last World Cup champion was eliminated in the group stage. This is probably something that no one expected. But it also served as a warning to other teams.

The next day.

Natal.

This coastal city was founded by the Portuguese on December 1599, 12, and its name means Christmas.

As soon as everyone got off the plane, they saw the crystal clear ocean, which made people have the urge to go swimming.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Dunes Stadium.

As the name suggests, from a distance, the course looks like an undulating sand dune.

Inside the stadium, there was a buzz of people.

Unexpectedly, there were many spectators wearing Ghana jerseys in the stands. They all had the same characteristics. They were wearing shining gold jewelry.

It is speculated that Ghana's gold reserves are approximately 17.5 billion ounces, enough to be mined for 700 years.Just yesterday, the 16-year-old Chief of Ghana, who had just taken over, hugged his 80 wives and announced in public that if Italy could get Uruguay out, he would give the best player after the game a gold football in a small size. It was pure sincerity.
The most important thing is that they actually went to the Italian Football Association to confirm the true validity of this promise.

Qin Yun was also shocked after hearing the news.

You know, the World Cup only used 4.97 kilograms of gold.
Although it is not comparable, it is estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands.
Are African veterans that generous?
Pre-match press conference.

Tavares issued a declaration of victory.

"We will use Italy's unique trick to kill Italy: defending with steel bars and counterattacking. Only under extreme conditions of life or death will we burst out with all our energy."

"Suarez is in very good condition. He knows that he is the number one in the world and an unstoppable team leader in the game. No one can compare with him, and any shooter has to bow his head in front of him."

"Please remember, we won the World Cup when Brazil hosted the World Cup before. I guarantee that this team is stronger than four years ago."

"Victory will be ours!"

the other side.

Prandelli chuckled and did not refute.

"Uruguay is a very strong opponent."

"So, we need to get rid of distracting thoughts, maximize our mental and state, and prepare ourselves physically and mentally for the game."

"I hope the Italy-Ukraine match can replicate the situation in the 2006 World Cup group stage."

player channel.

wearing white
"CCTV! CCTV!"

"Good evening, audience friends!"

"Welcome to the third round of Group D of the 2014th World Cup in 20!"

"Uruguay vs. Italy!"

"In this World Cup, Uruguay has 13 international players who have played or are playing in Serie A, second only to the Italian team."

"They are also called 'South American' Italians!"

"Let's introduce you to the starting lineups of both sides."

"Italy's formation is 3-5-2!"

"Goalkeeper:"

"Aside from Immobile replacing Insigne, there are no changes in the starting lineup!"

"Wearing white jerseys, Uruguay is attacking from left to right. Their formation is 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Muslera!"

"Defenders: Alvaro, Godin, Jimenez, Cáceres!"

"Midfielder: Arevalo!"

"Midfielder: Rodriguez, Gonzalez!"

"Forwards: Cavani, Lodeiro, Suarez!"

"Italy and Uruguay met in last year's Confederations Cup No. 3 match, and the tie ended 2-2 in overtime. Buffon performed well in the final penalty shootout and led Italy to defeat the opponent."

"This time we meet again in the 'Group of Death' of the World Cup. Italy only needs a draw to qualify, but Uruguay has only one option to win."

"So Italy's lineup is more conservative and Uruguay's lineup is more offensive."

"Due to the rules of the group stage, the four games in Group C and Group D start at the same time."

"Colombia in Group C has secured a qualifying spot by winning both games. They will face No. 1 in Group D in the 8/2 finals."

Studio.
-
[If Italy sets up a bus, it will be really difficult for Uruguay to score. 】
-
[Italy should try to attack and strive for first place in the group, otherwise they will face Colombia. 】
-
[There are many Ghanaian fans in the stands. Do they hate Uruguay so much? Aren’t they also blaming themselves for not scoring a penalty kick in the end? 】
-
[This thing cannot be understood or explained. We can only look at the problem from the perspective of the two teams. 】

beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins!
Uruguay has the ball.

Suarez kicked the ball across and hit Cavani.

Then the onslaught began.

They didn't bother too much in the midfield because they knew that if they tried to compete with Italy in the midfield, they would only be beaten.

This was proven in last year's Confederations Cup.

The football passed continuously and came to Arevalo's feet.

The latter did not hesitate and passed the ball to the right.

"Here we go, Uruguay's classic tactic, after gaining the ball, quickly launch an attack, hand the ball to Suarez and Cavani, and then watch them perform."

Suarez bared his teeth and unloaded the ball in front of him with ease.

His physical condition is not overly strong, but his thinking frequency is extremely fast.

Faced with De Rossi's pressing, he cleverly buckled inward and then pushed outward.

"Beautiful breakthrough!"

"The space opened up on the right, and he went directly to the penalty area. Cavani met him from the side!"

The Dunes Stadium was filled with gasps of exclamation.

This is the strength of the Premier League Golden Boot, which is much stronger than four years ago.

Chiellini was very calm.

While blocking the shooting angle, it also blocked some passing routes.

Suarez was like a madman and didn't give in at all.

Just when everyone thought he was going to go all the way to the dark side, he suddenly knocked the ball into the middle.

"The ball was passed very cleverly!"

"Cavani wants to shoot directly!"

No.

Fake shooting real pass.

The football got out of the defense and came to the right side of the penalty area.

Chiellini quickly turned around and grabbed the ball.

In the spotlight.

Suarez raised his left foot.

Madness is just his cover, his means to win.

Just when his left foot was about to touch the football.

A blue figure flashed over.

Suarez seemed to have expected it and changed his shot into a dunk.

Another feint.

Snapped!
Football disappeared.

Suarez's pupils were shocked.

Where's the ball?

Broken!
