Chapter 407 The 2012 European Cup is just the beginning! ! ! (begging for a monthly pass)
The whistle at the end of the first half pierced the night sky...

Xiang Nan lifted his jersey and wiped the sweat off his face. He glanced at the stands of the Italian fans. The blue ocean seemed to be whining...

"This damn half time!!!" Xiang Nan couldn't help but cursed.

Ambrosini patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder, no one spoke, and got into the player tunnel...

There was silence in the locker room of Italy. The current score made everyone feel that there was a big stone in their chest. Although, in the first half of the game, in fact, Italy played not badly. Of course, the Croatian played It's not bad, and luck is better than the Italians...

The Italian coaching staff has not come in yet, and they should still be discussing the tactical arrangements for the second half... The score of 0:2 has decided the second half, and Italy has no way out...

…………

"Paul, have you noticed that in this European Cup, Italy seems to have conceded too many goals..." Tosica and Rossi were watching the game video of the first half...

Rossi frowned. Indeed, the Italian defense conceded too many goals. They reached the semi-finals, and there was no game without conceding a goal... After Nesta and Cannavaro retired, Italy's central defender combination seems to never reach the height it used to be...

In this regard, the Italian media also have different views. Just before the semi-finals, Castro, a special commentator of "Naples Sports News", wrote that Italy's conceding too many goals is exactly the same as the current Italian offensive core Andre Relevant, Castro believes that because of Andre's existence, Italy seems to have invested too much force in the offense, and is overconfident in the ability of the Italian defense...Obviously, not only It is because the two central defenders have not yet reached the height of Cannavaro, and on the full back, Abate and Thornton have not really reached the standard of world-class players...

However, in view of the unfriendly relationship between the Naples media and the Italian Football Association, Castro's views have also been attacked by the Italian media... Especially the "Gazzetta dello Sport" believes that Italy is continuing the slow-heated old The problem... It's just that this point of view doesn't hold water. It's already reached the semi-finals. Is it going to explode again in the finals?

**********
Lippi pushed open the door of the locker room, and he saw eyes that were looking towards the door in unison. There was resentment, desire to fight, doubts, and even failure...

"In the first half, I have 20 minutes and I am satisfied!!" This was the first sentence Lippi said to his players. After he finished speaking, he watched the players' reactions.

The players were stunned for a moment. They thought the head coach would scold everyone, but they also understood what Lippi meant by 20 minutes. After the Croatian scored the first goal, It seems that the Italian team, which has come out of this conceded goal, has also begun to improve, and has gained a lot of offensive opportunities. If it is not too bad luck, the score may even be 2:1...

"What satisfies me is not only the offense...but the defense!!" Looking at the stunned eyes of the players, Lippi went on to say, "That conceded goal, at the end of the first half, that conceded goal made me angry. Accident, but I can't deny the efforts you made before conceding the goal...Indeed, those 20 minutes were the best 20 minutes of our defense in this European Cup!!!"

Ferrara stood behind Lippi and did not speak. The Italian assistant coach was savoring Lippi's words carefully. He found that indeed, in those 20 minutes, after the opening of the first half, the offensive once The Croatian is very fierce, and he didn't get any good chances. Even for a few minutes, the Croatian could hardly hold the ball in the midfield... let alone pose any threat to the Italian defense...

It was precisely because of this situation that the Italian defense made a mistake at the end of the first half and started a frenzied attack. They pressed the whole line and were succeeded by the Croatian's sudden and effective counterattack...

…………

"In the second half, we need to score goals!! We need to score a lot of goals!! But, on top of that, I don't want to see any more goals!!! So, I ask you to keep the 20 minutes in the first half Of course, you need to concentrate more!!!" Lippi pushed his glasses and cast his eyes on Xiang Nan, "Andre, in the second half, you need to make a bigger attack. contribute!!"

Xiang Nan felt his cheeks burn. He understood that this was a tactful criticism of his performance in the first half... "I will do well, coach!!"

"Daniel, do you think the coach is confused? Why didn't he get angry?" someone whispered below.

De Rossi shrugged and ignored Giovinco. He didn't think there was anything to be happy about. In the second half of the game, it was much more difficult... The Croatians also knew that Italy would definitely counterattack in the second half... just don't know , Will the Croats' defense line shrink! !

…………

At the door of the locker room, Ferrara said to Lippi, "Marcelo, this is not your style. Back then, at the Alpi Stadium, if we were beaten 2-0 at halftime, you would be in the locker room. Not like this."

Ferrara was Lippi's favorite student when he was the head coach of Juventus. It can be said that he understands the Italian coach quite well, so it is a bit strange that Lippi didn't get angry at the players just now. You know, even in In Italy's 0:1 warm-up match against Germany last year, at the end of halftime, the locker room was almost shaken by Lippi's roar...

"No, Crillo, you're wrong." Lippi raised his eyes and looked at the guys in the locker room, where the atmosphere had improved. The best 20 minutes of the championship, of course, the offensive gains and the mistakes at the last moment are not counted... If the team continues to play like that, the Croatians...huh..."

"Also, haven't you noticed that both Andre and David are in good condition now?"

Ferrara looked over Lippi's finger, Xiang Nan was talking loudly with Thornton, the whole locker room didn't feel depressed at all...

At this moment, Ferrara began to understand where the gap between himself and Lippi was...

**********
"Andre!!!" Xiang Nan turned his head and looked at his head coach with some doubts.

In the player tunnel, Lippi stopped Xiang Nan.

"10 minutes!! You have 10 minutes!!" Lippi patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder.

"Okay, Mr. Coach!!!" Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, his eyes became more resolute.

Ferrara looked at the back of Xiangnan stepping on the court, and said to Lippi worriedly, "Marcelo, will this put pressure on Andre?"

"No...you misunderstood me, Crillo." Lippi sat down on the coach's bench and leaned comfortably on the chair, "Croatians, in the first 10 minutes of the second half, they will launch a fierce attack. Yes... this is Andre's chance, and it's also the reason why I didn't make a substitution and continue to strengthen my defense!!"

"Why?!!!" Ferrara exclaimed in a low voice. He really didn't understand. You must know that Croatia is leading now. The 2:0 lead is enough to satisfy the Croatians, and they began to guard against death.

"Because of their head coach!!" Lippi took out a cigar, didn't light it, but twirled it around in his hand, and the cigar was in his hand, pointing at the Croatian bench...

Ferrara followed Lippi's direction and saw the Croatian head coach Bilic, high-fiving every player on the field... It was like a general going out to encourage the soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield... Under the illumination of the light, Mr. Biliqi's earrings sparkled...

**********
Bilic clapped hands with Eduardo, and yelled in the Arsenal striker's ear, "Dudu, give the Italian a little more color..."

In this sentence, he just said the same thing to Modric and Olic...

That's right, as Lippi guessed, during the intermission, the Croatian coach Slaven Bilic said the most to his disciples——
"10 minutes!!! In the 10 minutes of the second half, we will score another goal for Italy!! Then, the victory will be ours!!! The door to the final is open for us!!! We will be the heroes of the whole of Croatia!!! Haha, 3:0!!! Let the champion of the century lie at your feet, young man!!! I am proud of you!! The whole country will be proud of you!!!"

Croatian coach Shilov expressed his concerns in the ear of the dancing Bilic, "Slaven, Italy will definitely attack after the second half, and Andre is a player who can change the score at any time !!"

"That's right!! I know..." Bilic looked at his assistant, "So, I just let the boys attack wildly for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, we will start to defend regardless of whether the score is expanded. A turtle would do too!!"

This is the credo of Slaven Bilic, a rock coach... At this time, Mr. Slaven Bilic, how high-spirited he is...

Of course, if Mr. Bilici knew that the Italian old 'Silver Fox' asked during the halftime break that the team should first pay attention to defense after the start of the second half, what kind of expression would he make... Round, 'Silver Fox' vs the rock guitarist, it seems like the older old fox has pulled the plug...

**********
The second half begins...

Everyone in the stands of the Donbas Arena and in front of the TV was surprised to find that it was not Italy, which was behind 0:2, but Croatia, which was leading 2:0...

After receiving a pass from Rakitic, Kranjcar faced De Rossi's press and tried to pass by with speed. However, the experienced De Rossi blocked Kranjcar's advance ahead of time. Line, when Kranjcar could not form a breakthrough, he had to knock the ball back to Rakitic's feet...

Rakitic rubbed the ball lightly, and the ball reached Modric's feet. After Modric passed Abate, who was robbing him, he pushed the ball to the middle. Eduardo followed up with a long shot and the ball Buffon, who was well positioned, lifted the crossbar with one palm, and took a corner kick...

Kranjcar took the corner kick and spun into the penalty area. Olić was about to take off, but was squeezed away by Gamberini arbitrarily. The ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Thornton, and Ambrosini snatched it. Before Srna took a long-range shot, he took the lead with a shovel pass against the turf, and the ball reached De Rossi's feet...

De Rossi didn't stop the ball, took advantage of the trend, and the ball reached Xiangnan's feet...

"Andre!!! Andre!!! Let's go crazy!!!!"

"ITALY ATTACK!!! ITALY!!! ANDRE!!!!!!"

The blue sea of ​​the Donbas Arena began to boil...the loudest roar since the second half began...

"Italy's chance to counterattack!!! This style of play is the traditional style of play in Italy..." Liu Jianhong said.

"Haha, that's right, Italy was 3:2 Germany, 3:2 Russia, or 3:2 England... How should I put it, it is an unconventional Italy, a team that only belongs to Xiangnan's personal ability... ...Although winning the game is quite beautiful, but it is frightening...that is not normal...Of course, this is also the favorite game of neutral fans..." Liu Jianhong's commentary partner Zhang Lu said.

"After the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Italy suffered from dependence on Xiangnan. Of course, this is also normal. With a player like Xiangnan, no team will not use him as the core. However, other Italian players It's time for the players in the team to stand up, and there are times when Xiang Nan is not in good shape..." Liu Jianhong said.

At this time, Liu Jianhong read the text message with a smile. There was a mobile phone number ending in %... ¥ was a text message sent by a fan, "Xiang Nan's condition today is not bad, I can only say that today's luck is too bad..."

"That's right, Xiang Nan is the spiritual leader of Italy...just like Yaxin, the spiritual leader of Hamas in Palestine..." Zhang Lu said.

Zhang Lu's metaphor was bombarded by many Southward fans on the Internet the next day...

…………

After receiving the pass from De Rossi, Xiangnan first made a direct change of direction in a high-speed dribble, and wiped past Srna who was coming up to counterattack, and then faced Prannic who was robbing, and stepped on it continuously. Two bicycles, use the acceleration to get rid of the entangled Planic, and pass the ball to Thornton on the left.

The whole movement was done in one go, from catching the ball, to passing two people in a row, to splitting sides, it was as beautiful as a beautiful waltz...

Thornton pulled the ball with the arch of his foot, beautifully controlled the ball under his feet, and started to accelerate. Like a real quarterback, he strode past Rakitic who came up to press, and then handed the ball to Gave it to Ambrosini in the middle.

Ambrosini took the ball a few steps before passing the ball to Giovinco who came up to meet him. Giovinco hit the ball to Marchisio on the right and ran towards the frontcourt...

Marchisio pretended to advance along the right. After taking a step forward with his left foot, he suddenly turned around and pulled the ball. With a flick of his ankle, he sent the ball back to the left.

This pass tore through Croatia's left defense. Giovinco, who penetrated in place, received the ball and started to advance at high speed. First, a beautiful dribbler rubbed and pulled the ball with the instep of his right foot. Erluka waded over, and then, suddenly accelerated, quickly crossed the penalty area line, and kicked a pass from the bottom line.

In the restricted area, Xiangnan has already been interspersed in place...

Giovinco's cross was low and flat, and the landing point was quite beautiful. He flew to the top of Xiangnan's head, and Xiangnan jumped high, ready to shake his head and attack the goal. With a sudden force behind him, Xiang Nan was squeezed, and at the same time, he secretly pulled Xiang Nan's jersey...

In desperation, Xiangnan had no choice but to choose to ferry the ball with his head, rubbed the ball with the back of his head, and the ball flew towards the back of the goal...

"Alberto should be there..." The long-term tacit understanding between Xiang Nan and Parowski gave him a glimmer of expectation...

"Goal!!! We need goals!!! No one can stop us!!!!"

A blue shadow appeared on the line where the ball fell, stretched out its right foot, and used its knee to pad it, and then there was the trembling of waves in the snow-white net! ! ! !
Whoa whoa whoa! ! ! ! !
"GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!! Alberto.....Paroski!!!! Our 'robodog'!!!!!! He is so sensitive!!! Great goals!!! Keen sense of smell is his weapon!!!Andre's header ferry is quite beautiful...Italy!!!There is still time!!!There is still time!!!!!!The game went to the 53rd minute!!! ! The score is 1:2!!! We are still alive!!! There is still time!!!" Tosica, who had already suppressed half the game, jumped up at the moment when the ball trembled in the net, expressing passion Roar...

Beside him, Rossi slammed his fist on the table in the commentary booth and knocked over the water glass... But, he had completely ignored it...

At this moment, the blue ocean of the Donbas Arena rolled out huge waves... Xiangnan and Parowski had a big bear hug, and then the two were thrown to the ground by the rushing teammates... …

Xiang Nan showed unprecedented excitement, even more excited than his own goal. He broke free from the turf and rushed towards the stands of the Italian fans with his hair loose, shaking his head wildly and almost crazily... Letting out a roar...

"TMD...it's not over yet...everything, it's just the beginning..."
