In this game, the old Maldini continued to form a four-four-two formation. The goalkeeper is still Pagliuca. Buffon, who is not yet full, is more suitable for the old coach to sit on the bench to see the world. After all, there is no With so much experience in top competitions, he is still not safe in the eyes of the steady old Maldini.But Buffon doesn't need to be depressed, at least he is much happier to be able to sit on the bench than Cudicini, who has been sitting in the stands as a spectator since the beginning of the Olympic Games.

The defense line from left to right is Koko, Nesta, Cannavaro and Panucci.In the old Maldini's view, if there is no accident, except for the youngest Koko, the other three in the defense will inevitably become a member of the Italian national team's defense in the World Cup two years later. Not being favored is more because of the abundance of Italian left backs in this period, whether it is Paolo Maldini or Di Livio, or Pessoto, or even Lanna and Fortunato, Koko There are no small disadvantages against them.

In the midfield, Tacchinardi played the role of single midfielder. He was responsible for establishing a reliable barrier in front of the team's defense.In front of him are Tomasi and Kripa. Their task is to defend Koko and Panucci who assisted from the wing.In order to prevent the opponent from using the space behind the two to launch a counterattack; when Argentina is attacking, they have to rush forward to interfere with the opponent at the first time; task is quite heavy.

It has to be said that the Italian Olympic team coached by the old Maldini has a very strong Florentine color, canceling the traditional full-backs, and the two full-backs on the left and right are solely responsible for the offense and defense of the wings; Tacchinardi, While protecting their own defense, the trio of Tomasi and Kripa also had to seize the opportunity to participate in the offense, threatening the opponent's goal with long-range shots, and at the same time open up space for their teammates to attack.

This is why the old Maldini chose three players who have played in Fiorentina in the midfield. After all, the tactics he adopted can be said to be a replica of Fiorentina. The best results can be achieved only when people fight.

If it were someone else, with the less than a month of training time for the Italian Olympic team, even the tacit understanding between the players might not be able to work out, let alone such a complicated tactical coordination.

This has little to do with the players' tactical execution ability, but more because of the players' familiarity with a set of tactics and the tacit understanding between them.Think about it, let a player get acquainted with a group of unfamiliar teammates and adapt to a new set of tactics in less than a month. If everyone can do this, then all teams will be replaced. Then it won't be so hard.

In terms of striker, considering that the four defenders of the Argentine Olympic team are all playing in Serie A, Maldini chose to use the combination of Piero and Philippe Inzaghi. They are dead forwards, and they have played in Serie A for several years. They are very familiar with the defensive styles of Ayala, Chamot and others, and they know where their weaknesses are.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles.

It is precisely because of this that after the start of the game, when the Argentine defense led by Chamotte and Sancini saw Inzaghi and Piero appearing in front of them, they immediately had a headache: the former can be "invisible" The sudden scoring in 10 minutes is hard to guard against, and the latter often kicks some weird arcs in the so-called "Pierrot area".These two partners are really fatal, because no one knows if they will seize the opportunity to score because of a small distraction.

It can be said that, except for Lady Luck and themselves, no one can stop this combination from scoring goals.

Zhuang Mingge's luck was good. The game went exactly as he predicted from the very beginning. The Italian team tightened their fences and played a defensive counterattack, while the Argentines built their positions with the combination of Crespo and Lopez. Offensive, I want to play steadily and smash Italy's defensive system bit by bit.

Passarella obviously overestimated the attacking ability of his two forwards. Leaving aside Lopez, who was stared at by Cannavaro, Crespo, despite his popularity in South American football, has not passed He who has been honed in top competitions is obviously not the top-notch center that he became later. Last season, he played 21 times for the River Plate and scored 6 goals. He is still lacking in grasping opportunities.

As for the two wings of Argentina, Barçades and Morales encountered no less troubles than Crespo and the others. The former met Panucci, who was able to abuse him in every way, and the latter was even more in trouble. Keke was barely able to dribble the ball under constant pressure, let alone support others.

Although Ortega, who is known as Maradona's successor, is constantly trying to break the deadlock for Argentina with breakthroughs, how can the Italian, who is not afraid of Maradona himself, be tied up by a so-called "successor" Hands and feet?Under the joint strangulation of Tacchinardi and others, Ortega was surprised to find that it was extremely difficult for him to even break through.

Since most of the troops in the midfield have already been invested in the attack, Almeida, who is in charge of the midfield defense, dare not act rashly. Everyone knows that the Italians are the best in the world in defensive counterattacks. Rush to participate in the attack is pure suicide. .

Since Almeida can't attack, Argentina can only rely on their two full-backs if they want to increase their offensive firepower.

Although Chamot was born as a full-back, he has been converted to a central defender for many years. He is obviously not used to the position of left-back. Now he focuses more on defense than offense, so the full-back who can insert assists is actually Only Zanetti alone.

With the defense of Kripa and Tomasi, Zanetti alone can't afford much trouble.

In this way, Argentina, who had been unable to attack for a long time, became impatient. Ortega showed his "independent" side, reduced his passing and began to pursue personal breakthroughs, trying to emulate his predecessor Maradona to reverse the situation by himself.

However, Ortega is not Maradona, and Italy is not England.

In the end, Ortega paid the price for his insistence.

No.20 In the second minute, during a forced breakthrough in the middle, Ortega was cut off by Tacchinardi, and then immediately kicked it to Tomasi, who turned around with the ball and flashed past After Almeida's tackle, the ball was passed to Totti in front!

Now, it's the Italian team's counterattack!
