Chapter 221 The Italian Team Returns
Everyone had a great time on this rest day.

The next day, the group matches continued with two games a day.

This week, the Chinese War Dragons easily defeated the South African team again, Michael's form also fully returned, and the German Iron Wolves strongly defeated the England team.

It is worth noting that after forfeiting two games, the Italian team finally made all preparations and staged a comeback.

Carlo returned to the game with the new Italian team. Although the previous three losses and the two additional losses after the mid-season game due to the suspension of former teammates made Italy's qualification precarious, in the first game after Ferrari's arrival, Italy defeated Norway cleanly.

Ferrari brought a brand new racing car, which, while retaining the original Excalibur rear-wheel steering feature, comprehensively optimized the aerodynamic structure of the car body, and also brought their independently developed second-generation motor.

Of course, the most important thing is that this car completely abandons unnecessary attack devices and focuses entirely on speed.

In addition, the fully automatic toolbox brought by Ferrari also played a particularly crucial role in this race.

During the game, because of Nie Ming's heroic performance and Carlo's new players seemed to be still adapting to the field, the Italian team was at a disadvantage at the beginning of the game. However, Ferrari's fully automatic toolbox, which could replace the parts of 8 cars in 5 seconds, helped the Italian team regain a lot of time, which also gave Carlo the capital to lead the team to catch up. In this battle for the first place, the Italian team only won by more than 1 second in the end.

After watching this game, Lin Che and his team became serious. In the next week’s cross-group competition, their opponent will be the Italian team.

"Yuesheng, how is the automatic toolbox going?" Lin Che asked in the conference room.

"We can produce the finished product in two days," Huo Yuesheng said. "However, our toolbox is different from theirs. We can only replace the parts of one car at a time. Although it only takes 3.5 seconds, it is more troublesome when we have to repair five cars."

"Well, can't we make a few more?" Chen Xiaohu asked curiously.

"In this regard, when everyone was still researching this thing, the official rules restricted it. Each team can only register and register one tool box in the competition." Huo Yuesheng explained, "That's why, when other teams were researching this, they all chose machines that can repair five cars at a time."

"So it seems that we and the Victory Team are the ones who are at a disadvantage." Chen Hewang said.

"Forget it. If we arrange the maintenance sequence properly, it won't make much difference." Lin Che said. After all, we just won the Mid-Season Championship. Isn't it normal to see the champion weakened?
"However, what can I say about these new Italian members?" Gao Xiaoman said at this time, "Although there is only one game, and they are still getting used to the rhythm of WGP games, their specific strength is hard to tell, but at least they are much more pleasing to the eye than those guys who didn't look like good people before."

At the same time, in the Italian team's base.

"Hey! Baroqueli! You actually ate pizza with pineapple! You traitor to Italy!" A blond boy with sky-blue eyes screamed at a brown-haired boy as he looked at the pizza takeout box in front of him.

"Don't make such a fuss, Xiu. This is Neon. You can't find authentic Margherita pizza. The pizza here is more American. Hawaiian pizza tastes good too! Sometimes you should take the initiative to try something new." The brown-haired boy named Barocco shrugged, picked up a large piece of pizza and put it into his mouth. "Look, the cheese can be stretched."

"Oh my God, Hawaii is a great place, and pizza is a great thing, but these two together are history!" Xiu said indignantly.

"Traditionalists are always so disappointing." Balotelli shrugged and looked at his teammates around him, "What about you? Do you want to give it a try?"

“Even if I jump from here and die outside, I will never eat pizza with pineapple.” Sally, the only girl in the new Italian team, frowned and said with disgust.

“Captain, can you please kick this guy out and take his pizza with him?” Another tall teenager echoed, “Apart from breaking the pasta before cooking, I can’t think of a more serious crime than putting pineapple on pizza!”

"I say, aren't we discussing how to deal with the next opponent?" Carlo took a deep breath and said with a headache.

Since losing to Germany in the Mid-Season Invitational, Carlo's mood has been like a roller coaster.

When he just lost the game, Carlo packed up his luggage and prepared to survive in the wilderness in the garbage dump of the slums.

But before he could pack his luggage, news came from the country that the president of the Italian Mini Racing Association had a private transaction with a Japanese company and was taken down at the speed of light.

Their boss also encountered huge troubles and had to withdraw from the team. At the same time, their Italian national team Ferrari also announced its entry into WGP.

Originally, Luchi and the others thought that this was a day of hope, but the first thing Ferrari did after taking office was to reshuffle the Italian team. Except for Carlo, all the original Italian players were expelled from the team. The reason was ready-made - using offensive weapons.

Then, Ferrari upgraded Carlo's car and brought in these four teammates.

What can I say about these four teammates? Xiu and Eddie are both mini racers at the same level of Yeli, with strong and stable strength. Sally, as the technical cornering driver in the team, is only relatively eccentric. Balotelli, who caused an argument by eating takeaway at the pre-match meeting, is an unexpectedly nervous sprinter.

In terms of mini racing strength, they are much more reliable than Luchi and his team.

The result of the challenge that Lucci brought Leo and the others to these people before he was expelled explains a lot of things. Xiu alone defeated the four people led by Lucci. Their proud Dance of Death was like a toy in front of Xiu's Mustang.

Moreover, on the court, they can also give Carlo enough support instead of being a drag like Luchi.

However, these new teammates are so difficult to manage outside the stadium! The Italians' optimism and romance, which is no less than that of the French, are fully reflected in these people.

At the same time, although the new coaches and logistics team brought by Ferrari have excellent technical capabilities, they all seem unreliable.

"Oh! Sorry, Captain, it's all Baroque's fault!" Xiu, Eddie and others said in unison.

"Speaking of which, our next opponent has been in the limelight recently, having just won the Mid-Season Champions Cup. Everyone's official individual rankings have improved a lot, and their captain Lin Che has even directly topped the list." Eddie said, "It must be very interesting to play against them." "As for tactics, captain, do you have any good ideas?" Xiu said.

"The coordination between you four and I is still a little problematic because we have only practiced for a short time. This was reflected in the last game. Forcing coordination will have the opposite effect, but the coordination between you four is still fine." Carlo said, "So, I plan to find a way to split the battlefield into 1v1 and 4v4."

"So, Captain, which car are you going to deal with alone?" Sally asked.

"Of course it's the most difficult one." Carlo pressed the remote control, and photos of Lin Che and Tai Chi War Dragon appeared on the projection in the conference room.

"But, Captain, your car is more of a comprehensive type. If you fight one-on-one with a high-speed car, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?" Xiu asked.

"Regarding this, I will use high-speed gears in the next match. At the same time, our motors are designed to maximize performance without considering battery life, so we won't suffer any loss." Carlo said calmly, "However, as part of the 4-on-4 battle, you mainly need to guard this car."

In the projection, a photo of Chen Hewang and Scorpio flashed by, and then there was a clip of Scorpio showing his might in the final of the Mid-Season Championship.

"This car is very powerful. At the same time, in the last two games, this car is also an important starting point for their tactics. You must find a way to stop it before it gets going." Carlo said.

"I understand, Captain." Xiu nodded.

"Well, that's all the specific tactics. Just practice more in the next few days." Carlo nodded with satisfaction.

After changing teammates, Carlo felt a lot more relaxed. When arranging tactics, he only needed to make requests. If it could be done, they would find a way to do it themselves. At the same time, if there were any difficulties, they would also raise them at the first time and then discuss solutions together.

But what about when he was with Luchi and the others? Carlo had to arrange the details of the tactics in place and explain them carefully in almost every game, otherwise Leo, Zola and the others would not understand. Luchi could understand, but he was always thinking about how to destroy the tactics to disgust him.

Time quickly came to Saturday. As the highlight of this week, the showdown between China War Dragon and Italy Ferrari was naturally scheduled in prime time.

At the same time, players from both teams arrived at the competition venue, Nara's Sika Deer Park, one day in advance.

The competition adopts a battle for the first place. The battery is allowed to be replaced once during the 15-kilometer track, and there is no limit on the number of times accessories can be replaced.

The race track consists of roads and stone roads within the scenic area.

Before the race started, when Lin Che and his team were preparing at the starting point, they saw the new Italian team member Sally feeding deer biscuits to the sika deer not far away. They couldn't help but smile and said, "This new Italian team is really different."

If Luchi's gang were here, they would feed the deer and not kick the deer that came too close, which would be considered good manners on their part.

"Welcome to watch the group stage of the WGP World Mini Car World Cup. Today's match is between China Zhanlong and Italy Ferrari. I am the commentator Li Bing."

"I'm the commentator Han Qiao. We will be providing live commentary for today's game."

"The two teams in the competition, the Huaxia War Dragon team currently tops the list with a brilliant record of 18-1, while their opponent, the Italian team, currently ranks third in Group B with a record of 14-5, second only to the United States team and the Tanzania team which has won consecutive games recently, and maintains the same number of wins as the TRF Victory team." Su Fan said.

"This match is crucial for the Italian team. TRF Victory defeated Saudi Arabia two days ago this week, so they have one extra win. If the Italian team loses this match, the scores of the two teams will be at the same starting line, and their qualification will be in jeopardy," said Li Bing.

"However, if they want to take a point from the Huaxia War Dragons, I think it will not be an easy task for this newly born Italian team."

There were still three minutes left before the race started. Carlo turned back at the starting point and confirmed with his staff: "Have you checked all the equipment? There won't be any problems, right?"

"Don't worry about us!" The technicians brought by Ferrari gave Carlo a thumbs up and showed a bright smile.

Soon, the countdown for the competition began and ten contestants were ready to go at the starting line.

As the countdown ended, ten cars rushed out in an instant.

"Follow the plan!" said Carlo.

Just when the Chinese War Dragon Team was planning to form a group formation, the five Mustangs of the Italian team suddenly accelerated like sharp swords and broke into the Chinese War Dragon Team's line. In an L-shaped posture, they forcibly isolated the Tai Chi War Dragons from the formation. For this reason, Xiu's Mustang even pushed the Sky Demon Bat, which had a slightly weaker starting acceleration ability.

"What is this?" Lin Che was a little surprised, but soon he saw Carlo's Mustang also broke away from the team and came to the Tai Chi War Dragon, blocking the route for Tai Chi War Dragon to meet up with his teammates.

"Planning to split the battlefield?" Lin Che frowned. The Italian team moved very quickly and completed the division when the group formation had not yet been formed at the start of the race. At this time, the Chinese War Dragon Team had lost the initiative. Although it was not completely impossible for Lin Che to forcibly break through the blockade and return to the team, the variables were too great. It would be better to just run and wait for a better opportunity to appear.

"However, the premise of such a tactic is that you have to be able to completely defend me alone." Lin Che looked at Carlo beside him and said, "If you can't stop me, your teammates will have to face the dilemma of four against five."

"But I just want to try out the strength of the mid-season champion." Carlo said coldly.

"The Italian team launched an offensive at the start. The Chinese War Dragon team is now divided into two parts. On one side, it is a one-on-one battle between captains Lin Che and Carlo, and on the other side, it is four-on-four." Han Qiao said.

"The Italian team's choice is very smart. Since Carlo is a new player, he hasn't had time to build a tacit understanding with his four new teammates. In this case, letting Carlo go head-to-head with the strongest player on the other side is actually a better tactical choice." Li Bing also explained.
