Starting with Milan as a central defender

Chapter 207 Recoba's Golden Left Foot' Module

Dunes Stadium.

Passionate cheers, heartbroken cries, and the joy of revenge.
Football carries too many people's emotions, and they are all vented when the game ends.

"The match is over, congratulations to Italy for their 2-1 victory over Uruguay!"

"With a 9-point victory, they qualified first in the group and will face the second place in Group C at the Pernambuco Arena in Recife five days later!"

"The story of these veterans is not over yet, a new chapter is waiting for them!"

"The story of the young general has just begun, and what awaits them is a road full of thorns!"

"We see that Uruguay's players are crying. For them, the strong football atmosphere has given birth to talented players one after another, and they finally have the best time to make a breakthrough."

"Without Italy's winning goal, perhaps they could be immersed in the joy of celebrating promotion at this moment, but there are no ifs in football."

"Goodbye, Uruguay!"

Suarez bit his jersey and shed tears of sadness.

People who are obsessed with winning are often relatively simple.
His World Cup journey in Brazil ends here.
He was watching the black-haired boy not far away carefully, as if he wanted to imprint it in his heart, lashing him all the time.

Godin touched the remaining hair on his head, the expression on his face was full of bitterness.

She fell in front of him again.
This is true for the Champions League and the same for the World Cup.

However, he still comforted his teammates gently, which was his duty as captain.

Uruguay bench.

Muslera's eyes were red.

He regrets why he committed the foul
If Balotelli is allowed to pass, maybe he will push the empty goal but not score?
The nightmare in his heart once again added a figure.

Coach Tavares leaned on a cane and looked up at the blue sky.

His long life experience has already made him taste the bitterness of failure.

But he firmly believed.

Just have a firm belief, be fully prepared, and maintain a high morale.

This world may, maybe, lift its cold veil and show you a bright smile.

After shaking hands and hugging Prandelli in a friendly manner, Tavares slowly walked onto the green field. His work is not over yet.

at the same time.

Arena Minelan.

The Costa Rican fans were holding their mobile phones and could not contain their excitement.

The hanging heart finally fell
Our good friend Qin Yun was still reliable, and the final penalty kick allowed them to enter the knockout round without any danger.

This is a historic step for Costa Rican football.

England fans held banners on the sidelines.

They understand that this lineup is the best in recent years, they have introduced new blood, and several young players in Liverpool are also good.

But after all, there is a lack of a star player who can stand alone, similar to Suarez. As for Lu Xiaopang, it is no longer worth looking forward to.
Maybe by the next session, there will be better development after the lineup update is completed.

Post-match press conference.

Spotlights kept flickering.

Facing reporters' enthusiastic questions.

Prandelli's response was very graceful.

"I'm very happy that the players wearing blue shirts can fight for the same ideal and the same goal. This cohesion inspires stronger fighting power!"

"The economic crisis and the integrity crisis have hit Italian football hard, but now, I think fans will accept the national team again."

"Qin is in good condition. It was my idea that he take the penalty kick in the end. I think we need to give young players more opportunities so that they can grow faster."

"As for Suarez's behavior on the field, I must condemn it and ask FIFA to impose additional penalties. Any time such behavior is done on the field, it is inexcusable. Fortunately, Chiellini did not Not too hurt by it.”

the other side.

Tavares hobbled toward the interview area on crutches, his cloudy eyes full of exhaustion.

Seeing the old man's difficult steps and resolute eyes, everyone felt admiration.

"For Uruguayans qualifying for the World Cup is an important thing, but I'm sorry that the result is disappointing for the fans, but we have to swallow a bitter pill."

"We had the idea of ​​winning in regular time. We tried to strengthen our offense, but failed to do so. We can only and must accept this defeat."

"I won't defend failure. If you lose, you lose."

"Of course, the most important thing is that I misjudged the situation of the battle, and my opponent was more fully prepared and had a plan."

"We will continue to stick to our style of play, learn from our failures and keep improving."

"Congratulations to Italy for qualifying and I hope they can go further."

By the time everyone returned to Rio de Janeiro, there was already a full moon in the sky.

There are still four remaining group games that have not ended, so the complete top 16 list will not be released until the day after tomorrow.

However, several teams have already confirmed their qualification, namely France, Argentina and Belgium.
Qin Yun rubbed his hands and turned on the system.

The familiar cold mechanical sound echoed in my ears.

"The main mission of the World Cup is completed: defeat Uruguay!"

"Mission rating: S!"

"Mission Reward: Mysterious Treasure Chest (Legend of Uruguay)"

A treasure chest shrouded in sky-blue smoke floated in the sky.

There are also many familiar faces vaguely visible among them.

Qin Yun glanced at the prize pool.

"Montero's 'Red Card Record Holder' Module!"

"The Lugano 'Smile Killer' module!"

"Suarez 'Ogre' module!"

"Franciscoli's 'Magnificent Dribbling' Module!"

"Giggia 'Maracana Striker' Module!"

"."

Qin Yun's eyes twitched, thinking that Uruguay deserves to be called the Green Butcher, which can be seen from the modules of legendary players.
And if he remembers correctly, Montero should be the Serie A red card record holder.

13 seasons, 16 red cards, no one has been able to break or even come close to this record until now.

At that time, he punched Di Biagio of Inter Milan, the red card runner-up, and was stunned.

By the way, he is also Zidane's good brother.

What is this module used for?

It should be to increase the ability of man-to-man defense and transform the style of play to be more sturdy.

As for the "Smiling Killer" Lugano
5 red and yellow cards in 41 years, which is not far behind Montero.

And the "ogre" is even more abstract.

Increase success rate through teeth during confrontation?

Qin Yun was puzzled and silently opened the treasure box, hoping that his luck would not be too bad, otherwise he would have to go back to the old work and recreate it.

"The treasure chest is opening"

"Congratulations on getting: Recoba's 'Golden Left Foot' module!"

"Module Detailed Explanation: You can greatly improve your left foot proficiency through training!"

The blue smoke faded.

Leaving behind a face that looks exactly like a Chinese.

Qin Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then fell into endless memories.

A dazzling light flashed.

Qin Yun lowered his head and noticed the blue and black jersey on his body. He really didn't expect that one day he would wear the Inter Milan jersey.

This feeling is also quite strange
In 1997, Moratti brought the Uruguayan genius to the Apennines.

In the first round of Serie A, Ronaldo and Recoba made their debut in Serie A
Inter Milan faced Brescia at home and was in trouble. "American Bison" Hubner, who made his debut for Brescia, received an assist from Pirlo and scored in the second half. Meazza was stunned.

Inter Milan, which has many superstars, could not accept the defeat at home in the first game of the season. No. 20 Recoba came on as a substitute. The remaining game time became the most glorious blue-black moment of Recoba's life.

His left foot was kissed heavily by God that day. A long shot and a free kick helped Inter Milan defeat Brescia 2:1.

All the spotlight shifted from Ronaldo to "Chino".
The picture keeps changing.

Injury, loyalty.
His career has gone from high to low.

Unfortunately, he was not able to come out and say goodbye to his talent and persistence in his farewell game.

Like a movie, Qin Yun couldn't help but feel sorry for this boy.

如果
no if
late at night.

News about the World Cup has become a hot search topic.

"Italy 2-1 Uruguay, young player Qin Yun scored twice!" 》

"Suarez deliberately bit Chiellini with his teeth and was suspended for 9 games and banned from participating in any football activities for 4 months, and fined 10 Swiss francs!" 》

"According to rumors, Liverpool is preparing to sell the Uruguayan striker! 》

"Greece 2-1 Côte d'Ivoire, advanced to second place in the group, and will meet Italy in the 1/8 finals! 》

"Colombia 4-1 Japan, talented player Ronaldo leads the scorer list!" 》
-
[It turns out that Real Madrid is interested in Suarez, but the suspension will not end until November, so I'm afraid they have to give up now. 】
-
[Ivory Coast is not weak, why have Yaya Toure, Gervinho and Drogba not even played in Greece? 】
-
【You are too old.】
-
[The Pantofola d'Oro on Qin Yun's feet is so handsome, I have already bought it. 】
-
[Don’t worry, I heard that a new “Qin” series will be released after the World Cup. 】
-
[His shoes were also very good before, including Puskas, Capello, Cruyff, Klinsmann, and Van Basten. Many stars have endorsed them. 】

The next day.

After Qin Yun finished his recovery training, he returned to his room and found the Greek team's recent game video, watching it with relish.

Don't underestimate Greece. In the 04 European Cup, they defeated Portugal, Spain, and France to win the championship.

Tough defense and efficient header bombing were the magic weapons for Rehhagel's Greek team to settle down ten years ago.

Basinas' cross and Charisteas' header wrote down the Greek myth that happened in Portugal.

But there is no need to be too nervous, because there are only two players left in the Greek team that was the king of the year. The most worthy of attention is the midfielder core Karagounis. However, he is already 37 years old, and his physical fitness and fitness are inevitable. decline.

And now Greece’s technical and tactical style of play has undergone great changes.
The frontcourt is basically full of short and flexible attackers, and the absence of top star Falcao makes their situation worse.Otherwise, Colombia would not have scored three goals.
In general, Italy's paper strength is completely enough to crush its opponents.

But the premise is not to underestimate the enemy or be careless.
In the World Cup, the weak defeat the strong often happens.

There was an episode in the middle.

A Brazilian charity filmed an anti-gambling propaganda video that was played on a loop outside every national team base.

The content of the advertisement is as follows.

Several children were sitting around predicting which team would win the championship.

Fatty: "Brazil is strong."

Xiaomei: "Argentina, there is Messi"

Xiaoshuai: "Germany."

When Xiao Ming arrived at the end, he looked lonely: "I hope Italy can win, because my father has lost all his wealth to Italy."

The other children were silent after listening.

Then the slogan "Stop gambling, cherish your family" was played
This actually makes Prandelli very angry. Why is his own team serving as a negative example?

Contact FIFA directly
However, in the end, the negotiations were fruitless and we had to give up. After all, we were on someone else's territory.

During this period, personnel from sports brands such as Adidas and Nike came to the training base.

But they were all chased away by the guard.
Even when Puma approached him, hoping to sign a sneaker endorsement contract with Qin Yun, he was ruthlessly rejected.

Now is a critical moment in the game, and any advertising and endorsements must be postponed.

The World Cup is over and he has plenty of time.
What sneakers, jerseys, headphones, cars, cell phones, underwear.
You can try them all, but you don’t have to choose Coke, it must be delicious!
evening time.

Qin Yun received five pairs of customized "Qin" series sneakers from Pantofola d'Oro.

The main color is Mediterranean blue, with pearl white, and four golden five-pointed stars on the heel and outsole of the shoe.
It looks beautiful and is made from a whole piece of high-quality "Calf" calfskin. Soft foam ridges are added to the main ball contact area to bring accurate dribbling, passing and shooting assistance.

This is only the national team version, the club version is still being designed.

Moreover, they promised to significantly increase the amount of endorsements after the World Cup to ensure Qin Yun's satisfaction.

However, Qin Yun estimated that he would not have the chance to wear it. Although it was made by foot mask, it would still have a big impact without running in.

But he still took it out for his teammates to taste.

3 minute later.

He looked at Balotelli's exclusive sneakers and fell into self-doubt?
Why is there a bunch of colorful hair on the back of my sneakers?
Could this be taken from Balotelli's hair?
Why didn't I notice it during the game?
Isn't this too abstract?
Puma designers are truly talented!
Qin Yun thought to himself, Pirlo's sneakers are still good-looking. I will buy a pair when I get home!
The shoes Buffon wears are ordinary, Puma's power boots, which are very heavy and are used by more than 10 goalkeepers.

the next day.

Qin Yun was lying on the bed watching the match between Portugal and Ghana.

The 80th minute of the game.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored with a volley from the penalty area.

"Although this ball is not that exciting, it is the best consolation for Ronaldo who has been dragging his injured leg."

"."

"The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game. Portugal defeated Ghana 2-1. Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first and only goal in this World Cup."

Ronaldo shed sad tears.

Compared to the pain in his left leg, his heart hurt more.

We haven’t won the Champions League, we’ve lost the League One, and we haven’t qualified for the World Cup yet.

Only the 13 Golden Globe Award can bring some psychological comfort.

Suddenly a dazzling fire burst out in his heart.
He wants to keep going!
Suddenly, a moth rushed towards the fiery red Portugal jersey and landed on his nose.

Moths to the fire!

in the stands.

Compared with the loneliness of Portuguese fans, Ghanaian fans are quite happy.
Because whenever they are sad, they think of Uruguay, the last four semi-finals, and suddenly they laugh.

That penalty kick was really good.
This is the end.

The World Cup top [-] list is released.

The results of the match are as follows:

upper half.

Brazil VS Chile!

Colombia VS Costa Rica!
France VS Nigeria!

Germany VS Algeria!
lower half.

Netherlands vs Mexico!
Italy VS Greece!

Argentina VS Switzerland!

Belgium vs. the United States!
-
[The first half is obviously more terrifying. Brazil, Germany, and France are very difficult to reach the finals. 】
-
[Argentina is the only one in the bottom half, the Netherlands is second, and Italy is third]
-
[You really can’t arrange it like this, right?Although Argentina won the group stage, it was obviously very difficult and relied entirely on Messi's personal performance. 】
-
[The only stall in the Netherlands is pretty good.]
-
[Why did you ignore Italy? They came out of the death group with a complete victory.]
-
[Italy’s overall strength is too poor and it is difficult to compete for the championship. 】
-
[Italy should be more stable when playing against Greece, brothers, come with me! 】

The rest of the time ended in boring training.

6 month 29 day.

Brazil vs. Chile.

The two teams fought fiercely for 120 minutes without a winner.

Penalty shootout.

"Cesar, he saved the first goal!"

"Cesar, he saved the second goal!"

"Cesar, the light of Tavarel seems to shine above his head!"

"The game is over, Brazil has entered the quarterfinals!"

Followed by.

Colombia 3-0 Costa Rica.

Ronaldo scored twice and continues to lead the scorer list.

Netherlands 2-1 Mexico.

Wu Zhenyu performed well and continuously saved the opponent's must-goals.

Mexico once took the lead until Sneijder's long-range shot helped the Netherlands tie in the 87th minute of the game.

In overtime, Robben used a diving move even more beautiful than Guo Jingjing's to help the Netherlands win a penalty kick.

In the end, Huntelaar succeeded in one fell swoop.

6 month 30 day.

Pernambuco Arena, Recife.

Qin Yun returned here again.

"CCTV! CCTV!"

"Good evening, audience friends!"

"Welcome to the 2014/20 finals of the 1th World Cup in 8!"

"Italy vs. Greece!"

"I am the commentator for this game, Shen Fangjian!"

"I'm He Wei!"

The stands were covered in large swaths of blue.

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

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

"Goalkeeper: Buffon!"

"Defenders: Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli!"

"Midfield: De Sciglio, De Rossi, Pirlo, Marchisio, Abate!"

"Forwards: Balotelli, Shalawi!"

"Qin Yun did not appear in the starting lineup. It should be that Prandelli thought that he should save his energy for the next round, which is the Netherlands."

"Greece's formation is: 4-1-4-1!"

"Goalkeeper: Karnezis!"

"Defenders: Holevas, Papastathopoulos, Manolas, Torosidis!"

"Midfielder: Karagounis!"

"Midfield: Samaris, Maniadis, Christodolopoulos, Sarpingidis!"

"Forward: Samaras!"

He Wei's mouth was almost full of words, and he finally finished announcing the list of Greek players.

Studio.
-
[Qin Yun actually doesn’t show up, then I’ll withdraw! 】
-
[Italy’s style is quite restrained against Greece, so they should be able to win the game. 】
-
[Indeed, Greece’s defense is not tough and rarely presses in the frontcourt, which gives Pirlo room to play. 】

Qin Yun sat on the bench and carefully deduced the opponent's tactics.

This game is not very difficult, so Prandelli wants him to take the opportunity to rest.

After all, to be honest, Italy's success today largely depends on Qin Yun's outstanding performance.

And these games.

Qin Yun not only has to share Pirlo's pressure when attacking, but also frequently intervenes.
He also has to do some dirty work on defense, and he is surrounded by aging veterans.

It can be said that I have been exhausted all the time and cannot return to my best condition in just a few days.

The most critical thing is that if Italy can win against Greece, it will have to face the powerful Netherlands.
Captains Van Persie and Robben are both terrifying strikers, as well as De Jong, who has successfully ascended to the supreme throne of martial arts.

And one thing is that the Dutch style of play is quite dirty, and they are used to using physical confrontation.

Therefore, in a tight schedule, he must maintain Italy's most important weapon.
