The Era of Emerald

On this side, Uncle Mira has achieved a lot in the Olympics, and on the other side, Laporta, who is in charge of the Spanish Olympic team, has also achieved certain results.

Due to Laporta's Barcelona background, he has a unique advantage in signing players. After all, apart from Real Madrid, who is at odds with Barcelona, ​​​​few players will have trouble with Laporta who has a Barcelona background.

Therefore, Salgado and Morientes, who had not joined Real Madrid at this time, signed their names on the brokerage contract under Laporta's persuasion.

After the Portuguese Olympic team has experienced the glory of the golden generation, the current group of players is obviously not as talented as their predecessors, but this does not mean that there is nothing worth discovering.

Under the command of Zhuang Mingge, although the employees of GM were full of doubts, they followed the requirements of their boss and signed four players: Costiha, Maniche, Nuno Gomez, and Pauleta.

Others may not be clear, but Zhuang Mingge, who is a time traveler, knows the future value of these players. These future star resources are worth a fortune!

As for the French Olympic team, Zhuang Minge is very familiar with many of the players, Candela, Makelele, Henry, Trezeguet, Dacourt, Ismail... It can be said that Domenech this time Half of the Monaco team has been transplanted into the current French Olympic team, plus Vieira who plays for AC Milan, the strength of the French team cannot be underestimated, and the Gallic Rooster has also become a strong contender for the Olympic football gold medal By.

Although the relationship between Zhuang Mingge's Fiorentina and Monaco clubs is good, the gm company under Zhuang Mingge's company has encountered a small setback in expanding its business in France this time. Due to the high degree of professionalization of French football and the participation in the Olympic Games This group of players has a certain reputation throughout Europe, so very few French players do not have an official agent.

As a result, none of the French players agreed to sign with GM, and this became the only defeat in GM's Olympic strategy.

While Zhuang Mingge commanded the employees of GM Company to rush around to compete for star resources, the Italian Olympic team, which had won all three games, had also successfully qualified from the group stage. The players were actively preparing for the competition under the supervision of the old Maldini Meet the upcoming quarter-finals!

On July 7, the Brazilian Olympic team, which has famous players such as Carlos, Ronaldo, Savio, Juninho, and Bebeto, defeated the French national team led by Henry and Trezeguet, the twin stars of Monaco, 27-[-]. Oh, won the first place to advance to the Olympic semi-finals!As one of the strong contenders for the Olympic gold medal, the French team had no choice but to go home depressed, and hastily ended this trip to the United States.

On the same day, Nigeria, the African lion led by Kanu and Finidi George, eliminated the Ghana Olympic team, also from Africa, and advanced to the final!

A day later, two more quarter-finals were held on this land. This time, it was finally the turn of the Italian Olympic team to make an appearance!And their opponent is the Spanish Olympic team with a large group of outstanding players such as Raul, de la Pena, Guti, and Morientes!

The Iberian bullfighter with gorgeous dancing steps and the Apennines, which is famous for its reinforced concrete defense line, are a contest of spear and shield!

Such a game has undoubtedly attracted the attention of football players. After all, Spain and Italy have emerged in an endless stream of new stars in recent years, and it is good to know more about them.

The fans want to see a wonderful game. After all, Spain's gorgeous offense and Italy's defensive art are things that attract the attention of fans. Many people think that this will be a close game.

However, this game was beyond people's expectations before the game. It took only 45 minutes for old Maldini's Italy to end the suspense of the game.

Philippe Inzaghi, who started the game, completed a hat-trick in just 25 minutes, and Piero, who was responsible for delivering shells to him, scored a goal in the famous Piero area near the end of the first half. The wonderful curve ball made the Spanish young people almost cry and ran back to their locker room.

The game was played like this in the first half, do we still have to play in the second half?After all, the current Spain is still known as the king of the qualifiers. It belongs to the kind of soft-ball team that is very beautiful in normal times, but will be sluggish when it comes to the big competition. Reversals are not their strong point, let alone super comebacks.

Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the stands watching the game, believed that Spain did not lose this time. Although Italian football is indeed famous for its emphasis on defense, this does not mean that the Italians will not attack.The Italian national team coached by either Vicini or Sacchi has never shown a passive defensive posture in the game, and more often they use the players' excellent technical and tactical execution to take the initiative.

How can the offensive combination of Totti, Piero and Inzaghi be similar to Morientes + Raul and De La Pena?

Therefore, when the abilities and levels of offensive players on both sides are similar, the gap in defensive levels naturally becomes the key to the game.

Think about it, Italy has Pagliuca, Buffon, Nesta, Cannavaro... Any one of these guys against the sky can immediately raise a team's defense to a higher level.

Who is Spain's defense at the back?Is it Salgado, who switched from right wing to right back?Or Elguera, who has never even played a professional game?Or...huh?no yet?

There is not even a reliable goalkeeper and defender, and the defensive system is completely dependent on the personal ability of the players. Spain still wants to compete with Italy?How funny? !

The next game was as expected by Zhuang Mingge. After the start of the second half, the Spanish players who reappeared on the court seemed to have no intention of making a comeback. The attitude naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many Americans who came to watch the game, and there were constant boos in the stands.

The old Maldini also accepts as soon as he sees it. After all, there is no deep hatred between Italy and Spain. After playing Totti, he intends to cooperate with his opponent to spend the second half of the game.

However, the stunned Vieri obviously didn't understand the coach's intentions. He was tall and strong, and he gave full play to his physical advantages to rampage in the Spanish defense line. Piero and Pirlo in the middle continued to score the ball. On the wing, Panucci and Koko, who are in charge of the wing attack, continuously pass the ball to Vieri's head, allowing him to complete the final blow.

Ever since, Vieri arranged for the Italian Olympic team to score two goals in the second half. Italy beat Spain [-]-[-] in the quarter-finals, creating the biggest victory in the Olympic Games.

At the same time, this game was also called the "Miami tragedy" by the Spanish media (the game was played in Miami, USA), and it also became a lingering shadow in the hearts of the Spanish Olympic team players.
