Chapter 1144 Midfield Spoiler!
The second half started and Bosque made substitution adjustments.
Xiaofa, who performed poorly in the first half, came off the field, and No. 9 player Torres came off the bench.
From the performance of Italy in the first half, it can be seen that using this frontless formation to deal with Italy is not effective. Facing the Italian team hoarding heavy troops in the backcourt, it is difficult for midfielders such as Fafa and Iniesta to take advantage of the shots.
Faced with this situation, Bosque was not conservative and directly replaced Zhengyin center Torres, letting him play to attack the Italian defense.
In less than 10 minutes after Torres played, he dedicated two shots. Although both missed the goal, his shooting skills and ability in the penalty area were obviously better than Xiaofa in the first half.
Seeing this situation, Bosque simply replaced David Silva and replaced center forward Negredo. The Spanish team's formation also changed from 4-6-0 to 4-4-2. Barcelona's iron triangle plus Real Madrid commander Alonso, these four players are full-time responsible for delivering shells to the forwards.
However, on the side of the Italian team, Yun Sheng also simply made substitutions and adjustments.
He replaced the young Marchisio with the veteran Gattuso.
This substitution adjustment was questioned by Rivieri in the live broadcast room.
"It's only been an hour since the game. Isn't it too hasty to replace Marchisio, who is still physically fit, at this time? I believe one of the reasons why he starts the game is that he cooperates more tacitly with Pirlo and can help Pirlo assist in defense. Isn't it a bit unreasonable to let the 35-year-old veteran Gattuso appear? This guy can only disrupt the game in the midfield at best."
A few minutes later, Vieri's words were confirmed.
Gattuso is indeed an excellent "midfield spoiler"!
The first time he touched the ball after playing, he overturned Xavi, the brain of the Spanish midfielder!
Although the referee blew the whistle, it was only a warning to Gattuso. After all, Gattuso was just making a frontal tackle. The referee's whistle was just to see Harvey's injury.
After the Spanish team doctor checked that there was no problem, Harvey slowly got up from the ground. He looked across and saw Gattuso's face from the crowd, but there was no apology on that fierce face, and some just deserved it.
Gattuso did not open his mouth, but Harvey could feel Gattuso's thoughts.
You are just my enemy, if you let it go, you will let it go!
"Are you okay?" Iniesta asked with concern.
Harvey shook his head: "It's okay, let's continue."
After 5 minutes, Iniesta and Harvey switched positions. This time it was Harvey who helped Iniesta up and asked his little brother.
The instigator this time is still Gattuso. In a frontal confrontation, Iniesta was one step faster than him and used all his strength.
As a result, even though Gattuso was half a beat slower, he still went all out against his feet, even at the risk of injury.
In the end, the two fell to the ground at the same time. Harvey asked Iniesta on the opposite side. Piero, the Italian captain, helped Gattuso up.
"Brother, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, at least I can do three more!"
"Good for you."
Looking at the high-spirited Gattuso, Del Piero nodded secretly.
This old man who is about his own age is still so energetic.
Since the appearance of Torres and Negredo, Spain's offensive momentum has risen, and their two consecutive attacks are very threatening.
But after Gattuso came on the field, the midfield was completely chaotic.
Not only did Spain's attackers fall off their feet, but the quality of Italy's delivery also declined.
But this is what Yun Sheng is looking forward to.
There is another person who is also happy to see this situation, and that is Pirlo.
Pirlo couldn't hear Rivieri's words in the live broadcast room just now. If he knew, he would definitely raise objections.
What do you say, Marchisio cooperates better with me?Stop talking, Gattuso, who has worked with me for ten years, is my best partner!
For Pirlo, he likes this kind of chaotic midfield.
Looking for passing opportunities in chaos, this is what Pirlo is best at.
In the 75th minute of the game, Italy once again found a good opportunity.
This time, after Torres received Harvey's pass, he suddenly turned around and shook the tall Barzali away.
But he waded the ball a little bit too much, and Abate on the side quickly shot out and broke the ball.
Abate suddenly went forward and used his speed to throw away Iniesta. Just when the Spanish players surrounded him, he passed the ball across to Pirlo in the middle.
The moment the ball rolled towards Pirlo, Pirlo was already looking for a passing route!
Gattuso rushed to the ball at the same time, with a menacing escort.
Pirlo didn't stop the ball at all, he just made a long pass, and the ball went straight to Balotelli in the frontcourt!
Ramos hit the talented Italian striker from the side!
But Balotelli was not knocked down, he staggered and continued to sprint forward with the ball!
Pique just made the grab, and Balotelli has already made a move!
At a place about 30 meters away from the goal, Balotelli made a powerful shot, and the ball went straight to the dead corner!
Casillas puts all his effort into the save, but still misses the ball...
boom!The ball hit the lintel, and Cassie, who fell to the ground, got up quickly. It happened that the ball fell and was hugged by him, and the Spanish team escaped!
The Italian fans in the stands sighed, while the Spanish fans also exclaimed, they were quite frightened.
Now there are more than ten minutes left before the end of the game. If we concede another goal at this time, the Spanish team's first game will probably be useless...
Although there was no goal, Captain Del Piero stepped forward and patted Balotelli on the shoulder, giving him a thumbs up.
The Italian teammates behind him also applauded Balotelli.
In a united and warm atmosphere, some people always look weird.
Piero gave a thumbs up, and Cassano gave Balotelli a middle finger, and he punched Balotelli: "Your shot is not accurate? Go back and practice hard."
Balotelli also punched Cassano and almost stunned Cassano.
"Don't talk about it, you are the most retarded! If you can attract Pique's attention just now, I can get closer to the goal, and the shot will definitely score. Will you run? Don't brag that you are the number one genius in Italy. I am the number one genius in Italy!"
Cassano snorted: "Next time you pass the ball to me, I will give you a lob shot from 40 meters away, and let you see who is the number one genius in Italy in ten years!"
"Get out! I won't pass the ball to you!"
"Trash center, I'll ask Coach Yun Sheng to change me to a reliable partner for the next game!"
Seeing the two chattering in the frontcourt, Piero on the side felt a headache...
