My uncle is Inzaghi.

Chapter 241 Second favorite and sweep

Inside the German team’s training base.

The Germans are also paying attention to this game.

After seeing Pirlo lob the ball into the Dutch goal.

Throughout the conference room, the German players seemed a little quiet.

They remembered their several losses to the Italian team - to a certain extent, Germany was indeed a little afraid of Italy.

This kind of "restraint" is sometimes unreasonable.

Obviously Italy seems to be inferior to Germany in all aspects, but they can always perform very well when facing the German team.

Therefore, if they have a choice, they actually don't really want to meet the Italian team.

But now it seems
The possibility of the Italian team reaching the final is quite high, especially after watching this game.
The Germans feel that if they enter the final, their opponent is likely to be Italy, whom they really don't want to encounter!

Such a performance of the Italian team.

But Brazil is Brazil, and there are still many talents.

In fact.

"The Dutch are finished."

they
I'm really a little afraid of meeting Li Mo.

"To deal with Italy, we still have to limit Lee's performance."

Mascherano's hands were shaking unconsciously.

"He's too strong!"

Without Neymar, the Brazilian team still has Oscar, Lucas Jr., Willian, Hulk and many other well-known attackers.

Several Argentine players who have played in the Premier League have even more solemn expressions.

The German players were somewhat silent.

Because the two sides are direct opponents in the semifinals.

"This guy is so scary."

someone said.

Argentinian midfielder Palacio muttered.

Naturally, the Brazilian team will also be regarded as an imaginary enemy.

If the opponent in the final is Italy.

This game is of great concern to Germany, Brazil, and Argentina, the three teams that are already waiting in the semi-finals.

Looking at it with the benefit of hindsight, it was indeed quite bold.

As the final quarter-final match.

The players of the Brazilian national team marveled at Li Mo's performance.

Demichelis nodded with deep understanding.

So we are not afraid of Germany at all.

Argentina's players stared at their television screens.

In fact.

They are also looking forward to the finals.

This performance is really shocking.

The one under the greatest pressure now is undoubtedly the Argentine team.

"Lee is almost unstoppable"

Due to Thiago Silva's injury.

If the German team and the Brazilian team can still watch the fire from afar, after seeing the crazy performance of the Italian team and Li Mo, their mentality is still quite relaxed.

He was reminded of last season's Champions League quarter-finals.

Therefore, the Brazilian team is not too worried about this.

Although now Brazil's number one star Neymar is injured and will not be able to play in the next game.

Brazilian players are also watching this game.

So now the head coach of the Brazilian team Luiz Felipe Scolari is thinking about using the situation at home to suppress Germany with offense in the game against Germany - isn't it very bold to use offense to suppress the German team!

Naturally so do Brazilians.

"This guy is incredible!"

The Brazilians are so eager to win the team's sixth World Cup trophy on their home soil!

But now the Brazilians feel that their offensive line is ridiculously luxurious.

In a single World Cup, he scored 11 goals.

Barcelona vs Arsenal game.

Especially the second round for both sides.

At that time, Barcelona was beaten by Arsenal. ,

to be exact.

It was Barcelona that was beaten by Li Mo.

Barcelona's defense in front of Li Mo was like the girl's Chu Nu Mo, who could be penetrated with just one poke.

Mascherano has been famous for a long time.

During his time at Liverpool, he was known for his calm mentality and tenacious style.

But now looking at Li Mo on the big screen.

His heart was beating faster unconsciously.

这 是
Almost instinctive fear.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart.

He knew that this mentality would make him pay a serious price when facing Li Mo.

He has to make adjustments.

even
He almost wanted to find the team's psychologist to adjust.

Just now.

Messi, who was sitting in front, stood up.

Messi, who rarely speaks in the presence of the entire team, turned around and stared at his teammates.

"I know Li Mo is very strong."

Messi said.

"but."

"so what?"

"Are we going to admit defeat in advance?"

It is of course impossible to admit defeat in advance.

Mascherano gritted his teeth and stood up with a bang.

"I must defeat him! I must defeat him!~"

he yelled, clenching his fists.

"We're going to the finals!!"

The faces of Argentina's players changed slightly.

World Cup.

finals.

champion!

These words flashed through their minds like a slow-motion movie.

The scene that everyone dreams of, lifting the World Cup trophy, makes all the Argentine players' eyes gradually become firmer.

"Italy, we must defeat them!"

"Correct!"

Argentines are building themselves up mentally.

"Five to three! Five to three!! The Italian team has secured the victory!!"

the narrator chanted.

Inside the stadium.

The Italian players celebrated wildly.

Everyone hugged each other.

However, the experienced Pirlo reminded everyone not to celebrate - there are no Italian players in the Dutch team.

They just kicked off the ball.

The Italian team's defense is not organized yet.

That's the end of it.

But the solution is also very simple.

"Mario, go to their half and don't come back!"

Pirlo ordered.

Balotelli looked stunned.

how?

You celebrate your goal and let me watch from a distance, right?
However, Balotelli did not dare to contradict Pirlo - this was mainly because he still respected Pirlo. When he was bullied by Cassano, Pirlo helped him stand up.

So Balotelli stood obediently in the center circle, on the side of the Dutch team's half, grinning.

They won.

"Italy seals the victory!"

"Italy has reached the semi-finals, and they will face Argentina!" "The semi-finals of this World Cup are luxurious. Five-star Brazil, four-star Italy, three-star Germany, and two-star Argentina add up to 14 championships!" You know, the 2014 World Cup in Brazil is only the th World Cup!”

"These four teams have won 19 championships in the previous 14 World Cups. The other five championships were won by Spain, Uruguay, England, France and other countries!"

The commentators have already begun to add various gimmicks to the upcoming semi-finals.

but.

have to say.

These four teams entered the semifinals, which indeed made the semifinals look very luxurious.

They are all duels between teams that have won more than one World Cup.

No one thought that the Dutch could make a comeback in the next few minutes of the game.

Dutch commentators are already saddened by the Dutchman's departure.

"We fell in the quarter-finals. Remember this man's name, Li Mo. He destroyed the Netherlands." The Dutch commentator said helplessly, "However, we will come back! The World Cup championship is our eternal dream."

The players of the Dutch team did not launch any substantial threatening attack at the last moment.

Pirlo's long-range lob has completely sealed the victory.

"Lee performed like a god of war! Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. Italy's fifth goal came from his defensive performance! First he headed the ball out, and then tackled Blind. , passed the ball to Pirlo."

"There is no doubt that Lee is the key to Italy winning this exciting goal battle!"

The commentators were also praising Li Mo's performance.

The television cameras also focused on Li Mo for a long time.

In the stands, the Italians could no longer sit still.

Li Mo's family members stood up impatiently, and everyone was waiting for the moment the whistle blew at the end of the game.

This moment seems elongated to many.

at last.

With the Dutch team's last long shot from outside the penalty area, it flew high over the crossbar.

The referee on duty put the whistle into his mouth, and then
Three whistles.

competition is over!
"The game is over! The game is over! This may be the most exciting quarter-final ever. In this wonderful goal battle, the Italian team had the last laugh. They eliminated the Netherlands with a score of 5 to 3. , advanced to the semi-finals!”

"The absolute hero of the Italian team's victory in this game is undoubtedly Li Mo. He scored three goals and performed a hat trick in this game. He also assisted two of them. His two assists Not inferior to his goals! Especially the last one, he was like a god of war on the defensive end, helping Italy win the ball. We all talk about Li Mo's talent on the offensive end, but look at his defensive end. Contribution, we believe that if he switches to a central defender, he will definitely become a top central defender."

"Of course, no one is willing to let such a guy do defensive work."

The TV broadcast camera stayed on Li Mo for a long time.

He was there when the buzzer sounded at the end of the game.

Just raise your arms and celebrate loudly.

Immediately afterwards, he was surrounded by the Italian team players.

Everyone took turns to come up and hug him.

The players patted his shoulders and back, hugged Li Mo excitedly and said something.

everybody knows.

The team has made it this far.

Li Mo takes the greatest credit.

Prandelli raised his arms and cheered after the game. The assistants behind him and the Italian players on the bench rushed into the court.

But Prandelli is the head coach after all.

The psychological quality is still very good.

He remembered that he was supposed to shake hands with Van Gaal.

Van Gaal had calmed down by now.

The old man has never experienced anything.

A World Cup quarter-final defeat was not enough to make the stubborn Leo Dutch coach lose his composure.

He arranged his suit and his orange tie carefully.

Then he stood up and reached out to Prandelli who was walking over.

"Without Li Mo, we would have won!"

The old commander was still not convinced, he said a little unhappy.

Prandelli blinked proudly.

"But we have Li Mo."

Van Gaal smiled helplessly.

He patted Prandelli's arm: "I wish you good luck. Get that damn championship back."

"That's exactly what we're aiming for."

Prandelli said.

Van Gaal nodded.

If the Italian team can finally win the championship.

at least
He will feel better.

We were at least eliminated from the championship.

But this way.
The hat of the uncrowned king of the Netherlands.

When can I take it off?
The next time Li Mo appeared on the TV screen was when he was standing in the mixed interview area.

The jersey he was wearing had been thrown into the stands.

Now he is wearing a blue training vest.

In front of Li Mo, numerous microphones stretched out.

Reporters almost surrounded him.

"How does it feel to win this game?"

a reporter asked.

"A very exciting game, a very difficult game. The Dutch team caused us enough trouble, but fortunately, we were the ones who won in the end. The Dutch team is a respectable opponent, but I'm sorry, the number of places to advance is only one!"

Li Mo replied.

"You scored a hot hat trick in this game and scored 11 goals in this World Cup. You are only 2 goals away from Juste Fontaine's record. Do you think you can break this record?"

"Of course, I certainly have the opportunity to break this record, but I don't focus on any personal record. I pay more attention to the team and the collective victory."

"Tell us about your next opponent, Argentina."

"Argentina is very strong and we will respect them enough."

In front of the camera.

The handsome boy two years ago now looks very calm.

Especially when Li Mo faced the media, he was very flawless.

It made the fans even more emotional.

They remembered Li Mo's awkwardness when facing the media at the beginning.

"As time goes by, Li Du has become a veteran!"

"A 19-year-old veteran?"

"Hey, to be honest, if someone hadn't specifically reminded me, I really wouldn't have made a sound about the fact that Lee is only 19 years old.
"He is only 19 years old"

on the Internet.

The fans were talking and sighing.

at the scene.

Many reporters are also feeling emotional.

It is becoming increasingly impossible for them to get some breaking news from Li Mo's mouth.

Of course Li Mo knew that he could say some explosive and eye-catching words.

But it is not necessary.

He plays football.

It's not a joke.

He didn't do himself any good by saying these things, and all the benefits were taken by these media people.

Why bother.

After some interviews.

Li Mo returned to the locker room.

Reaching the semi-finals is certainly cause for celebration.

In the locker room.

Italy's players just need to pop the champagne.

A hearty game made them more confident in themselves.

In fact.

on the second day.

The media are also praising Italy's performance.

even.

The bookmaker also adjusted its winning odds.

The favorite to win the championship is the host Brazil, while Italy has surpassed Germany and ranked second!
Many Italian media also used this as a gimmick, and Italian players were very happy when they saw these reports.

They are happy to see the outside world think favorably of them.

But soon.

They were awakened by a basin of cold water.

The most popular team, Brazil, was at home and was swept by the third favorite, Germany, 1 to 7! !
