Vol 5 Chapter 305: Advantages and initiative

Pirlo had no idea that Morris could break the ball, and the consequence of being intercepted was that the England team moved back quickly. Novel ┡
The Italian team's offensive pressure was a little more advanced. The forwards Cassano and Balotelli all ran to the penalty area. The other midfielder De Rossi also plugged in, and even the central defender Bonucci ran to the front, ready to meet Pierre Luo, it's too late to run back.
England's counterattack began.
Morris passed the ball to Welbeck, and he ran forward. Welbeck caught the ball and brought it forward. After a few steps, he saw someone coming to defend and immediately passed the ball to Ashley Young.
Ashley Young made another pass and Morris had already reached the front of the penalty area when he received the ball.
The game became tense!
There are only two players who can limit defense in the Italian backcourt. One is center-back Balzali, the other is full-back Azat, and they have to face at least two opponents-Morris and Rooney. Shili Young and Pirlo, the two pulled behind, it is difficult to support the front.
The frontcourt formed a 2x2 situation.
The offensive side is undoubtedly very favorable. Morris took the ball and continued to rush forward. His position is still a bit behind. It is difficult to directly choose a shot. The central defender Barzali has come over to defend. At the same time, Rooney has crossed the restricted line. He Surrounded by full-back Azat.
Almost all cameras point to Morris.
"Morris is in possession of the ball!"
"This wave of counterattacks in England is very fast, and Italy has no time to respond!"
"Barzali is defending, he is trying to stop Morris ..."
In the shouts of the various commentators, everyone watched Morris and Balzali confrontation.
At the beginning of his career, Barzali was born as a Rossi-style center, and then changed to play in the midfield. Until 18 years old, he was later trained as a central defender at the Chievo Verona Football Club.
Balzali, who entered the national team from Sicily, was not all smooth sailing. He replaced Cannavaro, who was injured before the match in the European Cup in 2oo8. As a result, Italy was defeated by the Netherlands with 3 goals. Still being abandoned by the angered coach Lippi, it was not until 1o last year that he returned to Juventus that he was favored by Prandelli and entered the Italian national team with the entire Juventus defense line.
Barzagli is Italy's main center defender, but his ability has always been questioned.
This time Balzali came to defend Morris, which is also very important to prove his chance. He is still very experienced in defense. He does not directly observe football. He has always observed Morris' entire movement, especially the shoulder movement. , It is a direct reflection of the direction of a player's breakthrough table.
When he saw Morris push the ball forward, Barzali lifted his right foot.
Barzali's judgment is very accurate!
But Morris's explosive force was completely beyond his expectation. Morris rushed forward and rushed the ball before Barzali. Barzali's right foot only touched Mo. Reese toes.
Suddenly Morris's center of gravity was a little unstable.
Both of them made a mess, Barzali fouled, but Morris did not fall directly to the ground. He knew that this was a good opportunity, which was much better than the peripheral set ball.
Morris forcibly adjusted his body balance and squeezed in the direction of Balzali. Balzali was originally unstable. He was directly squeezed by Morris to the ground, while Morris' body was stabilized, Balzali Lee quickly raised his hand to signal the foul, but the referee did not suspend the game.
The audience is boiling!
This is a great opportunity!
"Morris! Morris! He left Barzali!"
"This is a foul!"
"Danger!"
"Great opportunity for the England team! Let's see ... Morris ..."
The spirit of everyone in the audience was tense.
On the English coach's seat, Wan Sheng has stood up. He looked at Morris's dribbling ball and was full of anticipation.
This game is very difficult!
In Wansheng's view, playing Italy is more difficult than playing Spain and the Netherlands, although many media believe that Italy is not as good as Spain and the Netherlands, but the Italian style is conservative and it is not easy to break the Italian defense.
This is the best opportunity since the opening.
"Morris! Single pole!"
Morris chased the ball and led the ball directly into the penalty area. Goalkeeper Buffon attacked. This was a single shot. No one else could stop him.
For Buffon, this was a difficult test.
As one of the world's top goalkeepers, Buffon's excellence is not explained by words. Although he is 34 years old, Buffon's state is still the same, and his performance is even more dull.
Facing Morris's single-handedness, he decisively chose to strike the moment the opponent caught the ball, and at the most appropriate position, opened his arms to cover the goal, while his feet flew forward to pounce the ball.
Any front-court player will face pressure from Buffon's attack. After all, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
Morris did not panic.
His mentality has always been calm, which is one of the reasons why Wansheng values ​​him. Wansheng never has to worry about Morris' performance in the game.
At the moment Buffon threw the ball, Morris waved his right foot.
"Shoot--"
Many narrators shouted for the first time, and there was an exclamation in the audience, but the next moment, everyone saw that the football did not rush to the goal.
Morris chose to throw the ball to the side, then quickly turned and rushed past.
"Morris shook Buffon ..." Even the Italian commentator was very surprised, facing Buffon directly in the official game, and not many players dared to make this kind of action.
Morris moved very fast. Before Buffon rushed to the ground, he had already completed the turn. Buffon rushed to the front, but he turned to the left first.
This step is heaven!
Buffon had no chance to keep the goal, he almost could only watch Morris push the empty goal.
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooa1 !!!" The moment the football flew into the goal, the English commentator shouted excitedly, "Morris! Morris! He passed Barzali and Buffon. Shoot the ball into the empty goal! "
"Buffon was completely deceived by him!"
"The goal has been scored! Morris! 1-0! The England team led Italy by 1 goal!"
At the moment when the narrator shouted excitedly, the fans of England in the audience boiled. They were extremely excited about England's goal and were so excited to see Morris's personal performance again.
This is a perfect show!
When Morris collided with Balzali and Morris confronted Buffon, he successfully shook two people and pushed the empty goal.
"This goal shows Morris's superb skills. Barzali's defensive judgment is accurate, but he does not have Morris' explosiveness and body, and he even hit the ground directly, and facing Buffon, this Italy and even The number one goalkeeper in the world, Morris calmly completed the change of direction, deceived his opponent and sent the ball into the goal! "
"Morris defeated the Italian central defender and defeated the Italian goalkeeper!"
"This is Morris! The core of Atletico Madrid, the 2oo8 Golden Globe winner, a 34-year-old veteran, he is also the absolute core of the England team!"
"A lot of people say that the England team lacks technology, but only if Morris is removed, Morris is definitely one of the best players in the world ..."
Since Morris' goal, various commentators have been talking, they analyze the goal from all angles, and constantly praise Morris.
This goal is so beautiful!
The moment the football flies to the goal, the audience is boiling, and local Ukrainian local fans are also cheering for the goal.
For neutral fans, the most exciting game is the most important.
The previous game between Italy and England was dull, but this goal was enough, they saw a personal performance of a star player.

Looking at the celebration of the England team, the Italian players were silent.
Pirlo froze.
Before the game, the media was hyping his opponents and Morris. In front of his teammates and the media and fans, Pirlo did not care at all. It seemed that Morris had nothing to do with him. Even he did not know the name. He still cares about it.
Morris is very, very good!
Morris, like him, is the core of the midfield and is an all-round player. It is very important in their respective teams. The two are also the most core players in England and Italy. However, in terms of assists and goals, Mo Reese is much stronger than him.
Pirlo did not think he was worse than Morris.
Statistics such as goals, assists, etc., do not indicate a player's contribution to the team. If this is the case, the defender will make almost no contribution.
In this direct confrontation, Pirlo also wanted to prove that he was better than the other.
But England's counterattack just now seems to be directly proving the comparison between the two. Pirlo even felt that his teammates were a little distrustful in their eyes.
He lost the ball.
The opponent completed the steal, opened a quick counterattack, and completed the goal with a personal performance.
The opponent is the one who performed well, and he is the one who performed poorly. Pirlo can even think of what the media will say after the game-
"Morris Vs Pirlo, victory!"
"The direct confrontation proves that Morris is excellent, it is not just a data problem!"
"This is Morris! Pirlo? Who is he?"
The media always writes these nasty titles. Pirlo is very dissatisfied. He clenched his teeth and vowed to prove himself well, not only for his own name, but also for the entire Italian team. Good results, otherwise you can only stop the quarterfinals.

Italian coach Prandelli's face is a bit unsightly.
He knew that the England team was not easy to play, but he didn't expect it to be like this. In the previous game, the two sides played a split, Italy has no advantage, and the opponent also has no advantage at all.
But by chance, the opponent's goal was created.
Pirlo was intercepted and the opponent quickly counterattacked. The core player of the opponent performed well and even opened the goalkeeper Buffon.
The next game ... not easy to play!
Prandelli knew very well that when playing against the England team, which team advanced the ball would be very advantageous, because the focus of both sides is on defense.
Italy can't attack with all their heart. They are not Spain. They do not have such excellent ball control skills. They are good at defensive counterattacks.
If you do that, it proves that the game has reached the most critical moment.
Now we can only expect the team to perform better.
The game restarted.
Morris completed the goal, the England team had the lead, and Italy had to work harder. So the players of both sides frequently collided physically, the game became very intense, and the situation of people turning around was everywhere.
The referee's whistle also continued to sound.
This is definitely not a good-looking game, but the pressure on both sides is very great, and every player on the court is very cautious at any time.
The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger!
In the first minute, Milner received a yellow card. He was too defensive in action and directly put Marchisio on the ground. The two almost moved their hands. Only after the persuasion of their teammates did they calm down.
Then Balotelli took the card!
Balotelli was very defensively defensive. He directly hit Lescott in the fight. That action made the referee draw the card without hesitation.
After Lescott got up, he almost punched him.
"calm down!"
Wan Sheng kept shouting on the sidelines to remind the players to be calm. Now that the England team is the leading one ~ EbookFREE.me ~ There is no need to have too many conflicts with Italy, there is no benefit. A game cannot be played.
Italy does not care at all.
Head coach Prandelli even indulged players to provoke anger, so that Italy has a better chance of winning in chaos.
The attitudes of the head coaches of both sides also reveal their own situation.
The game became very difficult.
In the next five minutes, the England team did not organize a threatening offensive, and Italy had a threatening perimeter shot.
At the first minute of the first half of the game, Wan Sheng simply waved the team back, leaving only one Rooney in the frontcourt, and all other players returned to their own half to participate in defense.
The rest of the time, it's crucial to keep a goal!
As long as there is a goal advantage, then in the second half, the England team will have the initiative and the game will be much easier. On the contrary, let Italy take advantage of the chaos to score a goal, the situation is not good for the England team.
In any game, the tie is better.
The most fundamental reason for this advantage is in the heart. Players who tie the side will tend to be more relaxed, while the player who is tied will be very unwilling. , So the leading advantage in the first half is very important, as long as you can lead the opponent, no matter how ugly the game is, the advantage is still in the hands of the team.
Over time, opponents become anxious, and if they do n’t score, it means losing.
In Wan Sheng's gestures and roars, the England team retreated across the board to guard the goal. The Italian team launched a stormy offensive, but they still failed to break the goal.
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still 1 to 1. The England team took the lead and entered the intermission.
