Vol 5 Chapter 304: Practical and gorgeous confrontation

Unlike the group stage, the knockout stage is a fierce battlefield. The losing side will be eliminated directly, so both teams will make their best efforts and do their utmost to win. network
The European Cup has reached the knockout stage, only one game per day.
All media are paying attention to the match between Italy and England. This is also the last game of the quarterfinals. After the match, the quarterfinals will be released.
Both England and Italy are strong teams. Relatively speaking, Italy has achieved better results in international competitions in recent years. They won the German World Cup in 2006. The England team faces a long-term untitled. The embarrassment of good results.
The two teams are also historical opponents.
At the beginning of the game, the fans of both sides began to cheer for the teams they supported, and the audience was already hot for the first time.
Media cameras have also begun to point to the stars that have attracted much attention.
The biggest attraction of the Italian team is nothing more than Balotelli. He is also the most watched in the audience, because relatively speaking, Morris's performance is more stable, and other outstanding stars in the English team can also be said to be It is a veteran, and many people think that Balotelli's performance can determine the victory of both sides.
Many people look forward to Balotelli's performance. Even if he doesn't get the ball, the TV screen will broadcast his movements, confrontation with defensive players, and so on.
Balotelli performed well.
Now he is at the peak, his strong body makes him very comfortable in the game.
Wan Sheng is also very concerned about Balotelli. This strong player is indeed a rare outstanding striker, but Wan Sheng is not very worried. He has made a detailed layout of Balotelli ’s defense. Balotelli Nor is it a very game-inspired player like Pirlo, it is difficult to have any particularly surprising performance, and there should be no big problems.
Wan Sheng paid more attention to the team's performance.
The main key point of this game is the midfield fight.
England and Italy have similar styles, with stronger defense and relatively weaker offensive skills. To play an advantage in the situation, you must have the initiative in the midfield so that you can suppress your opponents.
For the midfield fight, the England team has little advantage.
Although he is more confident that Morris is stronger than Pirlo, but like Gerald, Ashley Young and other players, the technical aspects are not so strong. Wansheng emphasizes more on the use of physical advantages to fight hard with the opponent. To achieve the effect of suppressing opponents.
The real effect depends on the performance of the players on the field.

Ten minutes before the start of the game, both sides played relatively conservatively.
England fight very fiercely in the midfield, but the offensive in the frontcourt still pays great attention to the formation. The guards and midfield players are not in a hurry to plug in. It is more important to secure the defense.
This is particularly emphasized by Wansheng.
Italy is a team that is good at defending counterattacks. Giving them a chance to counterattack will make the English goal very dangerous.
The same is true in Italy.
In this game, Italy has returned to the traditional play of four backs. Abate, Barzali, Bonucci and Barzaretti, four backs sit in the backcourt, plus three midfielders De Rossi, Pirlo and Marl. Kisio can see how solid the Italian defense is.
This line of defense is not easy to break through.
Italy is not so aggressive in attacking, there are always two people behind the three backs, De Rossi is more inserted, Pirlo is relatively less, another midfielder Barzaretti, the first ten minutes Did not even go to the frontcourt.
This solid style of play also makes the game ugly.
But there is no media or fans dissatisfied with the game, because they have prepared in their hearts, any team will play with Italy, the scene will not be too good-looking, even in Spain, if the opponent is replaced by England, then it must be done ' The whole audience is not good looking 'mentally prepared.
The game took fifteen minutes, and both sides had not let go offensively. In terms of statistics, both sides were similar. England had two shots, but both were long shots from outside. Italy had one shot. Pirlo drew the ball in. Restricted area, but Balotelli's header is too far away from the goal. About ten meters, he wants to use the ball to the top of the head, which is more hopeless than a long-range goal.
The media commentator's summary of the past game is, "Both sides are playing very stable, there is not much opportunity for offense, and the shot is a bit of luck."
"Gerard and Ashley Young each had a long shot, but only Ashley Young hit the door frame, but unfortunately did not hit the strength, Buffon easily took it into his arms."
"Balotli finished the only shot of the Italian team, but he also had a hard time breaking through the English defense and finding a good chance ..."
That was the only chance.
Many fans watched the game and found that Balotelli's running and scrambling were good, but as long as Balotelli was near the penalty area, he had little chance.
This was caused by England's tight defense.
The England team defended against Balotelli, and the players who stood close to Balotelli, constantly used their bodies to fight against Balotelli.
In the view of many fans, this is unwise, because Balotelli is very strong, but now Balotelli himself has misery.
He is really strong.
But even the strongest person can't help the opponent's constant body collision.
The England defender on the opposite side collided with him physically and did not fall at all. The biggest annoyance to him was Lescott.
Wan Sheng let Lescott focus on defending Balotelli.
The reason for handing over this task to Lescott is very simple. One is that Lescott has excellent personal abilities and considerable game experience. He is already the world's top center defender. Second, Lescott knows Balotelli very well. , The two played together in Manchester City.
Lescott defended Balotelli and was definitely experienced.
The England team has Lescott, and Balotelli wants a good performance, it is really difficult.
Balotelli was very upset. After being intercepted once, he said to Lescott, "You can't switch to defend? Discuss, put some water?"
Lescott smiled.
"By the way, I feel very strange, why are you more difficult than in the club?" Balotelli continued.
If it were not known that the two were teammates of the club, the referee saw Balotelli always chattering, and even wanted to draw him a card to warn him not to "provoke".
In fact, Balotelli spoke his heart.
In the Manchester City club, Lescott is also the main central defender. The two often meet in training, but relatively speaking, he still has a chance to break through Lescott, and he does not feel that Lescott defense is so tough. When it comes to England and Italy, why is this guy so difficult?
"Because our coach is Wan Sheng."
Lescott said something Balotelli didn't quite understand.
Lescott really thinks so. His respect for Wansheng has exceeded 100, which is the limit of absolute trust. When Wansheng is the head coach of the team, he feels full of fighting spirit and Confidence, training and competition are more motivated.
If let Lescott explain, he must think that it is caused by ‘mental motivation’, but in fact, that is the most authentic feeling.
Lescott is a member of the ‘Elder Class’ of the players ’union.
Even if Wan Sheng is not the head coach of Manchester City, Lescott can still enjoy the attribute bonus of the player union, but the coach skills and achievements are gone. After Wan Sheng became the head coach, the skill bonus of the football training master system gave him the Some improvements, especially in formal games, have more achievements in coaching skills, and the strength has improved, and the play will naturally become better.
Lescott himself didn't know, and Balotelli didn't understand.
But Lescott has already played a higher level, and Balotelli can only be depressed with doubts. He didn't think about it in his heart, "That Chinese really has such a great ability, actually let Lescott Trust to this point? "
Balotelli's play is restricted, and the Italian team's overall offense is also limited, but the two sides have evenly divided, because England has not made much progress on offense.
By this time, the core performance of both parties has become particularly critical.
Pirlo and Morris ...
Before the game, there was a lot of media hype between the two. Pirlo was the absolute core of Italy. It was also called the "king of Italian football" by the Italian media. The Spanish World Sports News called him "Dafen on the football field." Qi ', and is considered to be the most convincing genius in Italian football after Roberto Baggio.
Pirlo's technology is very comprehensive, the long-range ability is as precise as a scalpel, and his proficiency in organization, scoring, and positioning ball is amazing. This comprehensiveness is amazing.
Many fans criticized Pirlo's soft style and unsuitability for the lower back position. However, Pirlo's defensive technology has been obvious to all. "What is more commendable is that Pirlo has an outstanding leadership temperament. The bumpy departure at the beginning of his career made his will very strong. . "
Morris is also very good.
Compared with Pirlo, Morris ’s football is more practical, which is a widely recognized evaluation by many media.
Morris's overall performance is not inferior to Pirlo, positioning ball, accurate straight, excellent organizational ability, he is stronger than Pirlo's data lies in: whether the club or the national team, Morris assists and goals More, and on defense, Morris also made a great contribution.
The Italian media is reluctant to admit that Morris is better, but the real data cannot be concealed. As far as goals are concerned, Morris scored 21 goals for the Atletico Madrid club last season, while Pirlo has only poor Five, Morris' goal score is almost a top scorer, and his assists are 2 more than Pirlo.
Therefore, the outsiders commented on the two and described it as ‘Morris’ football is more practical and Pirlo ’s football is more gorgeous ’.
In the real game, it is the confrontation between ‘practical’ and ‘gorgeous’.
This description has a certain accuracy.
When Pirlo got the ball, many neutral fans also shouted, because many actions of the Italian were very eye-catching, and Morris played more directly. Whenever he got the ball, most of the time, he and other players Like teammates, come directly to the pass. Whether it is a precise straight pass or an ordinary pass, it is difficult for Morris to find the "gorgeous" kind of Pirlo, but the final result of the two people getting the ball is basically the same.
If Pirlo's game data can be the same as Morris, then Pirlo is undoubtedly more popular.
unfortunately……
Morris's "practical football" effect has slowly been manifested. With Morris as the core, the pace of England has been accelerating. Morris will not slow down for even a second. Pirlo is different. His Slow-paced football makes Italy hard to get up.
The rhythm of the two sides began to differ.
The England team is definitely not a high-end technical team. It is a fantasy for them to adjust the rhythm to win control of the situation.
Many big clubs ca n’t do this, let alone the England team that is recognized as
technically rough
. The whole team is not good at using rhythm-changing style of play. However, in the current game, it is not necessary to take the initiative to do so, just go normal The game, the Italians are a bit uncomfortable.
When football is at the foot of the England team, it is a direct and fast attack.
Conversely, when it comes to Italy, it becomes slow, and it seems that the attack is not in a hurry.
With the change of rhythm, the "slow" side gradually gets faster. This is a subconscious behavior of the player. It's like everyone is running fast, even if they can't keep up, the head coach Prandelli doesn't have guidance in this regard, nor does the Italian player care, just subconsciously.
But they are not used to fast pace as a whole!
It is worth noting that Pirlo, Pirlo is a very skilled player, is also a very confident player, he likes to play at his own pace, although the pace of England is very fast, as long as the football reaches his feet, the pace is immediately Slow down.
Pirlo played well, and other Italian players started to get used to it.
Forward Cassano was a little irritable. When he quickly plugged in again, he looked back and found that the football was still in the midfield.
"Come on, come here!" Cassano raised his hand for the ball.
This action has no result. Pirlo can't pass directly from the center line. The advancement can only be done step by step, otherwise it will be easily intercepted by the opponent.
But Pirlo's football is not so stable.
Even if he is praised as the 'King of Italian Football' by the outside world, he is just an ordinary person, and as long as he is an ordinary person, he will make mistakes.
This time after Pirlo got the ball ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Morris rushed up to intercept.
Pirlo wanted to shake Morris, just like other England defenders. He steadily turned the ball to the left.
This action is very old-fashioned and very deceptive. Morris is also fooled. The movement is somewhat in the opposite direction. Pirlo is about to rush over, but Morris's movement coordination ability and explosiveness are better. In the football training master system Thanks to his ability, he is the world's top professional player. When Pirlo did that, Morris turned and adjusted for the first time, and stopped in front of the ball with his foot in advance.
Pirlo rushed up and confronted Morris.
This direct collision is related to movement and strength. Pirlo lost directly to Morris, and he was brought down to the ground by a strong force.
Morris took the ball and quickly passed it to his teammates.
Fight back!
"good chance!"
The England team launched a quick counterattack!
