My uncle is Inzaghi.

Chapter 245 A desperate move

Verratti received the ball in the open space and drove the ball forward directly into the penalty area.

Demichelis hurriedly took over.

But his speed was still too slow.

When he makes up for it.

Verratti has already dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

The cheers from the stands suddenly echoed through the sky.

Verratti was so excited that his feet were shaking.

At this time, you can’t shake!
He now has two choices.

One is a direct shot.

Far corner!

Nudge!

One is a pass.

Garay doesn't even have a positional advantage. He is almost on the same line as Li Mo.

Mascherano, Demichelis, Garay.

The football has rolled across the goal line! !

amidst the huge noise.

"The Italian team overtakes again! Goal scorer Li Mo!!!!"

But because Demichelis pounced on Verratti.

Two to one! !
Italy.
Exceeded again!

The huge sound wave at the scene was like a tsunami, transmitted to the whole world through radio waves.

therefore.

so.
Now it’s one-on-one between Li Mo and Ga Lei!

The Argentinian looked at all this in disbelief.

At the scene, the sound was like thunder, surging throughout the stadium!

The commentary box was filled with excitement.

to the exclamations of the commentators.

The decibels of the cheers at the scene reached a new height! !

When Li Mo threw away Ga Lei.

And in Italy, three players came forward in an instant.

The peak of this thunderous decibel was when Li Mo rushed into the small penalty area and completed the shot.
"Li Mo!!! Li Mo!!! The 12th World Cup goal!!!"

Li Mo was originally guarded by two central defenders, Demichelis and Garay.

Every commentator must scream with all his strength.

And
This is still within the restricted area!
Garay didn't even dare to make any movement - once he stretched out his hand or his feet.

Dodged Romero who rushed towards him
When he landed.

"Verratti passes the ball!! Li! Li Mo! Li Mo!!"

The camera set up on the top of the stands was shaking violently.

In a shaking pitch.

Then jumped up.

When Verratti passed the ball, all Argentina fans showed signs of despair.

They were a little confused.

Almost all Argentina players have their hair standing on end!
Because they quickly realized the danger - in the backcourt, Argentina only had three defenders.

The whole stadium seemed to have had a small earthquake!
Italy's attack was too fast!

Li Mo raised his feet.

Verratti decisively chose to pass the ball!
I thought Li Mo was already in front!
Verratti swept the ball towards the small penalty area.

Three against three!
Taking into account Li Mo's strong personal ability, as well as Verratti and Balotelli have certain personal assault capabilities.

When Pirlo's pass quickly flew through the midfield.

Garei's start-up speed is more than one beat slower than Li Mo! !

Because otherwise, their voices would not be able to cover up the huge roar at the scene.

There is a high probability that it is a foul!
And at the moment Verratti passed the ball!
Li Mo suddenly started.

"Oh, God!"

Somewhat at a loss.

Some people even think they are dreaming?

Yes.

What's going on here?
We just scored.

Evened the score.

When he is looking forward to the team's next great success in destroying Italy.

How come we were just one minute ahead?

The opponent's first shot after kick-off.

actually
Scored a goal directly? !
Is there something wrong?

Correct.

There must be a mistake somewhere!
This is unscientific.

Shouldn't this be true?
It shouldn't be like this!
That Li Mo can't be so powerful.

Italy can't be so scary! !
Argentina fans were extremely confused.

Argentina's players were also at a loss.

The eardrums vibrate.

Now this stadium has completely become the world of their opponents.

They looked up.

Looking at the fans worshiping in half the stands.

It is difficult for them to accept reality.

They were hit harder than the Argentinian fans in the stands.

Yes.

Their goal was brilliant.

A dazzling kick, gorgeous and smooth.

Delightful for the eyes! !
Compared with Argentina's goal.

Italy's goal seemed much simpler and cruder.

Just a long pass, a sprint, a cross, and then grab the point.

that's it.

Just like that, the goal was scored.

This kind of scoring method cannot be called wonderful.

At least compared to Argentina's goal, it was definitely not a wonderful goal.

But whether it's wonderful or not.

The ball just went in.

Argentina is just lagging behind.

This contrast.

Such a huge psychological gap.

The morale of Argentina's players began to plummet.

Savilla knows how the players are feeling right now.

He is not in a good mood now either.

So what he hopes now is for the first half to end quickly.

Allowing him to calm the players down during halftime.

Because if we continue to fight like this.

Italy may be able to take advantage of Argentina's declining morale.

Score another goal!
It'll be over then.

Li Mo's goal demoralized Argentina.

They are like eggplants beaten by frost.

In the next game, there is no way to continue to control the ball and control the offense.

Instead, they tightened their defense.

No matter what, the opponent cannot be allowed to score any more goals.

They want to maintain this score and go back to halftime to make adjustments.

Argentina is afraid of Li Mo's personal ability.

They had to fall back and hold on.

But the next few minutes.

Everyone's mind is not on the game.

Fans in the stands.

There were also people in the commentary box and media box talking about Li Mo's goal.

The score was exceeded again on the first possession of the restart after the ball was lost.

This is really amazing.

"This is Li Mo's twelfth goal in this World Cup. He is only one goal away from the record of the legendary French star Fontaine!"

"He is simply a natural record harvester!"

"This is his first World Cup. Looking at his current state, we have reason to believe that the Italian is likely to have a happy summer!"

amidst the exclamations of the commentators.

The first half of the game also came to an end.

With goals from Chiellini and Li Mo. Italy temporarily leads Argentina with a score of two to one.

Savilia breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really worried about conceding the ball at the end of the first half.

But it's okay.

Argentina withstood Italy's furious attack in the final stages.

No more goals were conceded.

If you are only one goal behind.

Then we still have to pursue it.

We were just one goal behind, and after halftime adjustments, we could definitely come back in the second half.

And now what lies ahead of Savilia is the only way out of Huashan - attack!
During the intermission.

He has a chance to make adjustments to the team.

In the locker room.

Prandelli looked serious and did not get carried away just because he was ahead.

The atmosphere in the locker room is relaxed.

Everyone was talking and laughing.

Now in Prandelli's view.

The team is a little drifting again.

Especially after Li Mo scored.

Everyone seemed a little carried away.

This is not good.

So Prandelli is ready to pour some cold water on the players.

"Okay, gentlemen. Calm down from your complacency first. We were able to take the lead in the first half. I have to say it was luck, so don't pay too much attention to the score in the first half. This is about Whoever can reach the World Cup finals cannot give up. Have you all forgotten that a one-goal lead is the most dangerous score in the world? So be more careful in the second half and don’t take it lightly!”

After what Prandelli said, the expressions of the players did change.

Yes, a one-goal lead is the most unsafe score...

They just took a one-goal lead and felt proud, which was really inappropriate...

Prandelli poured cold water on his players.

On the Argentina side, Savilla was busy cheering for the players.

Argentina's morale is a bit low now - Li Mo's goal was too demoralizing.

"It's not a good thing to be behind, but luckily we were only behind by one goal. We had no choice in the second half. We had no choice but to press forward and attack our opponents! If we can do that, you are the world." The best players! We deserve to beat them!”

The intermission passed quickly.

When the head coaches of both sides reappeared on the court, it meant that the second half of the game was about to begin.

The TV broadcast gave a big close-up of the head coaches of both teams.

But their expressions were almost the same - expressionless.

People saw nothing.

Although Argentina's morale was very low at the end of the first half.

But fortunately they had fifteen minutes to adjust.

A mature team like Argentina doesn't usually collapse because of falling behind.

Therefore, people have reason to expect that the second half of the game will be more exciting.

Then players from both sides appeared one after another.

Li Mo and Messi were obviously the focus of the television broadcast.

The camera is now focused on Li Mo.

Li Mo's expression was relaxed. He and Balotelli beside him walked out of the tunnel talking and laughing.

Subsequently.

The camera turned.

Gave Messi a close-up.

Messi looked serious.

"The expressions of the two stars fully reflect the current situation of the two teams. Italy is obviously in the lead and they are relatively relaxed, while Argentina is facing a more serious situation. They just equalized the score. Then we were outscored by our opponent, and we were in a pretty bad situation.”

The commentator is introducing the situation of the two teams to everyone.

The Italian fans in the stands didn't care much about this appearance.

They are looking forward to the start of the second half.

A one-goal lead isn't that big.

There are still forty-five minutes left in the second half.

It was no surprise that Argentina scored.

Argentina fans are also looking forward to the second half.

Being one goal behind is not a desperate situation for any team.

Second half of the game.

The first to kick off was Italy.

Having learned from the past, Argentina did not dare to press forward boldly now.

They maintained a basic formation and did not easily give Italy the opportunity to pass the ball into the frontcourt with a simple two or three passes.

Facing such a cautious Argentina.

Italy's first attack in the second half ended with Li Mo's long shot.

The football missed the goal slightly.

Defensively, Argentina seemed very cautious.

The offense is not so careful.

After gaining the ball, Argentina immediately pressed forward and had the momentum to swallow up Italy.

It can even be said that there is some desperate momentum.

If you don't attack, you die.

Attack and still survive!

After the Argentine players figured this out, they all knew what they should do.

They launched a desperate attack towards the Italian goal.

Italy is obviously well prepared for this.

They tightened their defense and did not give the Argentinians much space.

In such a game, Prandelli did not want to take any possible risks after taking the lead.

even.

He was already planning to make a substitution.

He began to think about replacing Verratti, replacing him with a midfielder with stronger defensive capabilities, and adjusting the formation to 442.

Then ten minutes later, Balotelli was replaced.

Just keep Li Mo on the court.

if you can.

Prandelli would not hesitate to put a bus in front of his goal.

With Italy shrinking its defense.

Argentina's offense can only make continuous passes on the outside, trying to open up gaps in the Italian defense.

But it has to be said.

Italian players do have defensive genes.

Even Verratti.

His positioning sense when defending is also very good.

Italy once formed a situation in the frontcourt with two centers suppressing the opponent's back line and one midfielder - Li Mo and Balotelli restrained three opponents players, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the defense.

Argentina's offense couldn't be beaten for a long time.

The 63rd minute of the game.

Savilia was the first to become unable to sit still.

He made his first substitution.

Aguero came on as a substitute and was replaced.
Enzo Perez.

Bring on the center forward and bring on a midfielder.

Argentina's formation even formed a dumbbell-shaped 424 - this was just a formation based on the positional attributes of the players on the court. In fact, during the attack, both Rojo and Zabaleta were overwhelmed by the full-backs. halftime.

Argentina has formed a very radical two-winger tactical system on both wings.

As the attack unfolds.

The Argentine team's formation is a very exaggerated 2242!

Both Messi and Lavezzi moved to the center, giving up the wings to the full-backs who pulled out.

The two centers Aguero and Higuain were at the front.

Messi and Lavezzi operate behind them as shadow strikers.

"The Argentines are desperate!"

See this adjustment.

He Wei in the commentary box took a deep breath and said.

Anyone can see it.

Argentina was indeed desperate - logically speaking, they had no reason to make such a radical substitution in the 63rd minute of the game.

But Savilia had his reasons.

What the Italians are best at is taking away victory in such a war of attrition.

In order to break the rhythm of the game that is increasingly favorable to Italy.

Savilia made this very radical substitution adjustment.

He hopes that this substitution adjustment can change Argentina's offensive rhythm and thus the form of the game.
But this way.

The Italian team gained even more space in the frontcourt.
