Chapter 943 Netherlands summer (a)
In this way, when referee Merck blew the whistle at the end of the game, Belgium, the host of the 2008 European Cup, had a thrilling 21 victory over Sweden led by famous players such as Larsson and Ljungberg, and won the opening match of the European Cup!
After the opening match, Zhuang Ge made a special phone call to Ljungberg to express his condolences to his own playeralthough this can be regarded as a way to enhance the player’s sense of belonging to Florence, Zhuang Ge did so mainly because of idolize’s past life.
Although Ljungberg’s fame is much worse than that of vieri, Lei Dongduo and Ronaldo, and Zhuang Ge’s energy and identity theory are on a par with him now, all these have not affected Zhuang Ge’s enthusiasm for idolize!
Hehe, boss, please don’t comfort me any more, Ljungberg said with a wry smile on the other side. I know that after losing the opening match with Belgium, our qualifying situation in Sweden will be in jeopardy. Who wants to be in the same group as us, but there is also Italy, the world cup champion team?
Zhuang Ge is also right to hear Ljungberg say this. After all, the Vikings have to strive for victory in the next two rounds of group matches because Sweden failed to score points in the match against Belgium, and they are in the same group with Sweden. In addition to the host Belgium, there is Italy, the mysterious teacher and champion of the World Cup in Turkey, which spans Europe and Asia!
As a result, after losing to Belgium, Sweden’s qualifying situation has become quite severe. If it loses to Italy in the next match, the Vikings can bid farewell to the European Cup stage.
It is through this that Ljungberg will be more worried about Sweden’s fate in the European Cupalthough Italy has always had a slow competition, it is extremely difficult to beat this world cup champion team, because what Italians are good at is defensive counterattack. If the attack is too sudden, it is likely that Sweden will die in the end!
So after comforting Ljungberg a few words, Zhuang Ge hung up and waited for the next day.
On the afternoon of the second day of the official European Cup, the Italian national team ushered in another group match of Group B at the Gredorme Stadium in Anam, the Netherlands. Their opponent was the Turkish national team led by Hakan Suk!
Although Turkish football has not ranked in European football, the old Maldini has not taken this opponent lightly. You know, many unpopular players are too underestimating the enemy, which leads to this experienced coach. Of course, the old Maldini does not want the team to make this lowlevel mistake in Turkey.
What’s more, although the Turkish national team is not wellknown, its overall strength has been recognized by many people. You know, in the UEFA Cup Galatasaray last season, it took the championship trophy to Turkey and surprised several people. This Turkish national team is the main structure of galata Sere!
It is for these reasons that the selection of the old Maldini in the starting lineup can be said to be a lot of painstaking efforts. Goalkeeper angelo peruzzi leftback Pesoto rightback Di livio’s central defender position is composed of Maldini and Cannavaro’s partners albertini, antonio conte and Ambrosini. Francesco Totti is in the center to command the front line vieri, and Inzaghi lies beside him and waits for an opportunity to sneak attack.
Old Maldini put Fiorentina players such as Stetta and Zambrotta on the bench in this game because the Italian coach considered that these players’ physical conditions were not suitable for being put into the fierce European Cup immediately, so the old Maldini chose to hide these main players in the snow to give them more time to gradually adjust their state and contribute to the China team in the later game!
The opening match of the European Cup can well prove that the old Maldini’s point of view is that Larsson and Ljungberg, who are in charge of delivering artillery shells, are somewhat silent in the defense of Belgian players. The best evidence is that helping Sweden play the game as soon as possible and leading to the final defeat of this Nordic powerhouse!
After the game, the performance of Florence players on the scene did not exceed the expectation of the old Maldini. They fought hard on three fronts for a whole season and didn’t play the last club match until half a month ago. vieri and Di livio both showed a little sluggishness in the first game of this group match. Inzaghi played a substitute role in Florence and tried offside several times. He almost succeeded. He stirred up the Turkish defense line, which was called a chicken flying and a dog jumping.
Although vieri and Di livio are in a mediocre state, they have a lot more time to rest than Fiorentina players at this time. Other Italian international players have shown good competitive state. The dualcore linkage between Totti and albertini has made Italy firmly control the midfield. Antonio conte and Ambrosini did not hesitate to run physically and fight fiercely, which greatly strengthened the defensive hardness of the Italian midfield and enabled Totti to organize the attack from the ground. Cannavaro pegged Hakan Suk, who was much taller than him, with accurate card position and superman bounce, and reimbursed Turkey for one of the most dependent shelters. Maldini, who was in charge of filling the position, also perfectly assigned him to clean up all the fish that had escaped from the net; Pesotto’s straightness on the left makes the Italian offensive more threedimensional!
Compared with the second time in history, Turkey has obviously not fully adapted to the atmosphere of the competition. Instead of choosing defensive counterattack, it took the initiative to attack Italy, lacking experience in the competition. The Turkish players were somewhat caught off guard, and they were easily taken away by their opponents and turned into passive opponents!
Even if they are not willing to admit defeat, the Turks intend to launch a counterattack to regain their disadvantage. In the face of Italian signature reinforced concrete defense, most of their offensives are divided and seem to be a bit messy.
It is obvious that the balance of victory is tilting in the direction of Italy!
Chapter 944 Netherlands summer (2)
In the situation that the initiative of the game has been completely mastered by our own side and the opponent’s offensive has been delayed, the Italian offensive and the quick counterattack after intercepting the opponent’s attack have become more and more sharp with time!
Although the Turkish players who are in the wind are tenacious in dealing with their opponents on the court, the huge gap between the players’ experience and ability makes the Xingyue Army finally turn over and struggle under the strong pressure of their opponents.
So just six minutes before the whistle, the Italian players scored their first goal in the European Cup in an attack. Okan’s ball in the wing was preempted by Cannavaro from albertini’s ball and went straight to the middle to give it to Totti in the middle of the court!
The Turkish player who got the ball returned to the defense and played a wonderful longdistance attack. On the way, he passed Havutcu and Akye, who tried to stop himself, and then successfully took the ball into the penalty area. Then the king of Rome abandoned the door and attacked rustu, and then pushed the shot to get the Italian team’s first record!
Facing the situation of falling behind by one goal soon after the match, the Turkish players who were struggling under the strong Italian pressure were even more flustered, and at the same time, they exposed their weakness of inexperience in the big game. After being led by a quick counterattack by their opponents, the Turkish players did not learn from it, but slammed and suppressed the attack even more, as if this could break peruzzi’s goal and regain the disadvantage of this goal.
Although a number of good players have emerged in Turkish football in the past two years, like England, most of these players are in the charge, and they are very unique. They can control the rhythm of the game and command their teammates to move, but there are no talents! In fact, it was not until emre was born in the 2002 World Cup and took the position of midfielder in one fell swoop that Turkey finally solved this problem.
Of course, the lack of commanders is one of the reasons why it is difficult for Turkey to make a breakthrough in international competitions, and another important reason is that they do not have a qualified field leader!
Although he has an unshakable position in the Turkish national team and a considerable goal rate, it must be said that Hakan Suk is not suitable to be a team leader. Otherwise, the biggest contributor to Galatasaray winning the UEFA Cup last season should not be the Romanian veteran Haji, who is 35 years old, but should be him.
Relatively speaking, Hakan Suk is more like a conventional weapon of abusing vegetables. He can easily score goals against defenders who are not as good as him, which makes people think that he is really a good center. But if the players who defend him are changed to Cannavaro and Maldini, it is best not to expect him to lead the team to turn the tide.
In this way, we haven’t found a commander and field leader. Although the Turkish players have worked very hard, they have pressed hard to attack. They will soon be hit hard again in the Italian counterattack because of the weak defense!
In the tenth minute, umit davala, who tried to break through the Italian defense in the middle, was directly stolen by antonio conte without even touching the Italian defender! After a wonderful steal, the latter horse handed the ball to the vice captain of Milan, albertini not far away. The nonstop ball was just an overhead!
Immediately after vieri’s successful header ferry to filippo inzaghi’s offside, he made a singlehanded breakthrough. After attacking rustu, he pushed the near corner of the goal and succeeded in extending the Italian lead by two goals!
Although Okan volleyed a kick outside the penalty area in the 62nd minute of the game to help Turkey recover a point, Turkish fans saw a little hope of equalizing the score, but it wasn’t long before Havutcu accidentally put Inzaghi down in the penalty area while defending, and the Scottish referee Dallas decided to award Italy a penalty!
The next thing is very simple. Inzaghi made this penalty and hit the penalty to rewrite the score by 31, which also completely locked Italy’s victory in the game!
In the end, thanks to Totti’s goal shortly after his presence, Italy scored three points in Turkey and successfully beat the host Belgium in the group standings to occupy the first place in Group B alone!
Although Italy was somewhat depressed because of its disadvantage in goal difference, Belgian fans were quite satisfied and did not feel dissatisfied.
