ps2: Let me talk about the book friend group here, the group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verified answer is ntr knight, um, that's it.

With Zoff's changes, Italy's starting list for this game has naturally undergone a lot of changes compared with the opening game.For example, on the forward line, Philip Inzaghi returned to the starting lineup after sitting on the bench, and partnered with his good friend Vieri in the forward line; while Roman Prince Totti was rearranged by Zoff in his familiar position. In the front midfielder position, he is responsible for sharing the burden on Albertini's shoulders, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the previous game against Croatia.

With his outstanding performance during the national team training, Pirlo finally overwhelmed Tomasi, the biggest competitor, and became a member of the Italian starting lineup. He will form a blue shirt with Albertini and Totti The Legion's midfield iron triangle.However, in this way, among the four starting midfielders in Italy, only Di Biagio is a full-time defensive midfielder. Although the other three cannot be said to have made no contribution to the defensive end, they will more or less Gives a feeling of strong offense and weak defense.

Take Albertini and Pirlo as an example. Although in the starting list submitted by Zoff, both of them have the same position on the field as Di Biagio, but the role of these two is more to sort out the ball. The team's game rhythm, looking for opportunities to tear apart the opponent's defense, on the defensive end, they rely more on their anticipation to intercept the opponent's offensive line to defend, rather than midfielders like Di Biagio and Tomasi The sweeper, like holding a dynamite bag, knows to face-to-face with the opponent's offensive player.

It is precisely because of this style of play that although Albertini and Pirlo are not considered defensive black holes, they cannot be regarded as defensive champions.After all, even Redondo, who has stronger defensive ability than them, has not won this title, and Albertini and Pirlo are naturally even more impossible.

Therefore, when Zoff put the three together in the starting list, his approach still caused many Italian fans to worry.After all, if the defensive hardness of the midfield is not strong enough, it will still have a great impact on the team's overall defense. For Italy, which started with defense, it is hard to say whether such a change is a blessing or a curse.

It can be said that sending out such a midfield combination with a slightly weak defensive ability is obviously an extremely courageous attempt for Zoff, who attaches great importance to defense and urgently needs a victory to qualify for the team's qualifying.

Now that Zoff has made adjustments to Italy's player configuration in the midfield, the defense will naturally not be spared.The starting central defender has changed from the three central defender configuration of Maldini, Nesta and Materazzi in the previous game to the current combination of Nesta and Cannavaro; while the team captain Maldini returned to In the position of left back, Zambrotta, who was temporarily on the left, returned to the right he is most familiar with. At the same time, Panucci, a junior who had worked with him in AC Milan, was squeezed onto the bench. Can sit on the sidelines and watch the game depressed.

It has to be said that after being taught a good lesson by the Croatian, Zoff's series of adjustments effectively solved most of the problems exposed by Italy in the opening game, such as using Albertini to play a single core and causing midfielders Insufficient control, after putting Totti on the front line, the firepower of famous generals such as Inzaghi and Montella cannot be displayed, etc.However, in Zhuang Minge's view, letting the 34-year-old Maldini replace Zambrotta as the left back is likely to be a failure.After all, the captain of Milan is old, and his competitive state and physical fitness are far inferior to those of four years ago. If he continues to stay on the left and play full-back, it will be difficult for the former world's number one left-back to fight fiercely for 10 minutes. persisted.

In Zhuang Mingge's previous life, the main reason why the AC Milan team led by Ancelotti was reversed and defeated by Deportivo Deportivo and Liverpool in the Champions League was that the group of veterans headed by Maldini lacked Can maintain the physical fitness of the whole game, but was dragged down by the stronger Super Deportivo and the Red Army, which eventually led to the reversal tragedy.

However, the Ecuadorians did not make good use of this loophole in the Italian lineup and rushed towards Maldini.Faced with Zoff's sudden change of formation and the tremendous pressure brought to them by the striker combination of Vieri and Inzaghi, the Ecuadorian players have exhausted their energy just to deal with these two super strikers, let alone find them. Identify the deficiencies in the Italian lineup and make use of them.After all, even if they discover the opponent's weakness, they must have enough strength to implement tactics targeting this weakness, otherwise, everything will be nothing more than empty talk.

Some people may have such doubts. Like Croatia, Ecuador also made it out of the World Cup qualifiers step by step, and even stepped on South American teams such as Uruguay and Chile. Why are there differences in strength between the two teams? With so many, one team can seize the opportunity to complete the reversal, while the other team can't even execute basic tactics?

In fact, the reason why Ecuador was able to beat Uruguay, Chile and other traditional South American powerhouses into the World Cup finals was not because they were stronger than these teams, but because of their huge home court advantage-after all, no one Suddenly running to a place with an altitude of 2800 meters to play a game, even if you are not weakened by altitude sickness, you will be unable to fight at your best due to the huge climate difference between the upper and lower plateaus.It is with the help of home court advantage that Ecuador, whose overall strength can only be regarded as the second-tier end of South America, can defeat those opponents that are much stronger than it, and thus qualify for the World Cup.

Therefore, facing the Ecuador team whose combat effectiveness was directly returned to the prototype after stepping off the plateau, the Italian players who have not yet fully recovered from the exhaustion caused by a season's campaign finally regained some form.With the continuous fire support of Totti, Albertini and Pirlo, Vieri and Inzaghi on the front line got a lot of shooting opportunities. Ecuador's defenders were miserable and had to shrink the defense to resist the threat they posed.

As Vieri used his super personal ability to penetrate the Ecuador gate twice, Italy finally defeated Ecuador cleanly and cleanly with a score of [-]-[-] in the second round of the group match. At the same time, they tied a small loss to Mexico's Croatia in the group standings, temporarily ranking second in Group G with a slight advantage of goal difference!

Zoff and the Italian internationals under him finally used their actual actions to win a chance for themselves.
