The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is today's update, it's a little late, I hope you guys don't pay too much attention to the update time, I promise I won't stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

At the same time that Collina announced that the goal was valid, deafening cheers broke out in the stands of the Olympic Stadium!

At this moment, whether it is the fans of the World All-Star Team or the supporters of the Italian All-Star Team, they are all giving the warmest applause and cheers from the bottom of their hearts for Batty's goal!

You know, for Batistuta, who is already 34 years old and in a serious decline, his days of galloping on the court can be said to be numbered.Therefore, Batty's goals like this are destined to become less and less in the future, and once Batty chooses to retire in the near future, if fans want to see Batty's goals again, they can only watch them from video tapes or on the Internet. Relive the old dream in the video.

This is not alarmist talk.After all, since the start of this season, the Argentine god of war has played eight times on behalf of Inter Milan, but the number of goals is a pitiful zero. In terms of role, it is not as good as Martins and Caron, the two young people, let alone go against Clay. Spoelstra competes for the main position.

So, no matter how you look at it, Batistuta's career is already entering the countdown stage.

It is precisely because of this that many fans who missed this shot for various reasons feel regretful at the moment.Although they can still relive the goal through slow-motion playback, or go home and download the game video after the game, it must be a huge regret for these fans not to witness the whole scoring process.

"What a beautiful goal." At this time, Roberto Baggio also came up and sent his congratulations to the former teammate and old man, "Looking at the state you showed in today's game, I think Gabriel Er, you can think about playing for a few more seasons, and you don’t have to be so anxious to retire.”

Since they have cooperated with Batty when they played in Fiorentina and Inter Milan, and the two are also very compatible in character, the personal relationship between Baggio and Batty is naturally quite good.Therefore, Robert Baggio is one of the insiders about some of Batty's decisions that have not been announced to the public, such as his plan to announce his retirement this year or next summer.

"Haha, Robert, this is not a place to talk. Let's talk after the game." Batistuta didn't immediately respond to Baggio's words, but just smiled and skipped the topic.After all, the Argentine God of War knows quite well about his current physical condition and state.He clearly knows that now he can no longer adapt to the intensity and rhythm of Serie A games, and it is almost impossible to perform as before.

That being the case, Batty has only two ways to go.One is to leave Italy to play in a low-level league, such as Qatar or the United States, where not only the football level is not high and the confrontation intensity is not strong, but also high wages are available, which is very suitable for some veterans to earn a pension before retirement; The second is to directly announce his retirement, so as not to be complained by fans because of his declining state and not being able to play its due role.

After all, most fans are pretty forgetful when it comes to it.If they find a player with a high salary who is not useful, then this player will definitely be criticized very severely, no matter how brilliant he has been or how much he has contributed to the team.

Regarding this point, you can look at the treatment Maldini received in the last game before retiring, and the attitude of Manchester United fans when Scholes and Giggs were beaten by their opponents in the latter part of their careers. I know a thing or two.

Now let's turn our attention back to the game. After Barty used his iconic "Barty goal" to help the world's All-Stars equalize the score, Capello, who realized that he could no longer be passively defended, took the initiative to change his lineup. Cassano replaced Tomasi.

With a No. [-] and a half to replace a defensive midfielder, Capello's tactical intentions are clear at a glance.

Capello knew very well that although the pairing of Vieri and Inzaghi had strong abilities and complementary technical characteristics, they did not play much role in the counterattack just now.Because the current Vieri is no longer the super center who can single out the entire defense line to complete the counterattack. Inzaghi's dribbling skills are scumbags. Although Baggio is technically aware, he does not have enough speed and physical condition. .Therefore, in order to exert their power, it is necessary to get a player who can pass and score suddenly, otherwise it will be difficult for Vieri and the others to get enough offensive space whether it is a counterattack or a positional attack.

In fact, according to Capello's thinking, Cassano should not have replaced Tomasi, but Robert Baggio, who is also No. [-] and a half. This will not only liberate Pirlo's organizational ability, but also can Strengthening the team's offensive power in the frontcourt without weakening the defense can be said to be a good thing that kills multiple birds with one stone.

However, in this game, Capello could not do so.Because he knew in his heart that Baggio was the protagonist of today's All-Star Game, and he would never be replaced until the final stage of the game, so he couldn't remove Baggio just because he wanted to win.After all, how can there be any reason to replace the protagonist in the middle of the game?

Therefore, when Baggio could not be replaced, Tomasi became the unlucky guy and had to bid farewell to the stage of the All-Star Game in advance.

However, Tomasi is not the unluckiest member of the entire Italian All-Star team. Even more tragic than him is the Roman Prince Totti.Since the team has Cassano and Baggio in the frontcourt at this time, two nine and a half numbers, it is naturally impossible for Capello to play the Roman prince with a similar role.

The effect of Capello's substitution adjustment is quite remarkable. In the last minute before the end of the first half, Cassano, who was pulled to the left side of the court, received a long pass from Pirlo's midfielder and continuously broke through Cafu and Samu. El's defense, after completely disrupting the defense of the world's all-stars, passed back to the front of the penalty area. Robert Baggio, who followed up in the middle, broke through Dida's ten fingers with a curve ball without any defense!Two to one!

From this conceded goal, it can be seen that Zeman does not pay attention to the team's defense.Veron has never been a qualified midfielder defender, and it is common for him to not mark the man tightly and make up the defense in time; although Nedved and Ballack can attack and defend well, in Zeman's tactical system, they are in the middle. The offensive end has taken on quite a heavy task, and naturally the energy invested in defense is much less.

This is why when Baggio received a pass from Cassano at the top of the penalty area, there was almost no one defending him-Veron didn't have this awareness at all, Nedved and Ballack were still there The opposite half did not run back!

In this way, when Collina blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the Italian All-Star Team temporarily led the World All-Star Team by one goal with Baggio's goal in the last minute!
