Chapter 402 Frequent Unpopularity

"Oh, an unbelievable pass! What a nimble and subtle pass. Maldini is like an elegant fighter. He used his calm performance to make the Ecuadorians hard to defend!

Facing the desperate Ecuadorian goalkeeper Ceballos, he had no time to make adjustments and directly chose to hit the goal!"

"GOAL!!!!!! The ball burst into the net!!! Loris Kenny, the Italian supernova scored his first goal in the personal world!!!

When Kenny looks back on his glorious career in a few years, he will never forget his first personal World Cup goal in the 02 World Cup in Korea and Japan!"

"The excited Kenny celebrated wildly with his teammates. This is also the second goal of the Italian team in this game. The score of 2:0 and the huge advantage of the scene have almost secured the victory for the Italian team! Most people think that the Italian team will win, but I don't think anyone thought that the situation would be so one-sided!"

"As an upstart in South America, Ecuador's strength cannot be said to be weak. Facing Italy, the strongest in Group G, we can imagine that Ecuador must have a detailed tactical system before this! But what everyone did not expect is In this game, Italy changed its previous style and launched a fierce attack from the very beginning of the game. This was definitely not expected by the Ecuadorian coaching staff, and the Ecuadorian players who had no defense were beaten at the beginning! "

"Although the Ecuadorians can take advantage of the intermission to make adjustments in the upcoming second half, I think the Italians will not take it lightly or slow down their offensive due to the situation of disparity in strength! Don't forget At this time, there are still many superstars sitting on the bench in Italy! Inzaghi, Del Piero and others should be very willing to add to the team's icing on the cake after coming off the bench!"

You must know that this is his World Cup debut!

And after a short rest, after restarting the second half of the game, Kenny continued to implement the goals he set for himself, passing very good passes for Vieri several times, although not Scored a goal, but it also made the coach Zoff on the sidelines very satisfied with his performance.

At the same time, the subsequent trend of the game was just as the commentator said. Although the Ecuadorian players readjusted their state after the intermission, how could the Italian players give them more opportunities?In the 708th minute of the game, coach Zoff made a decisive substitution adjustment. Piero replaced Kenny who scored a goal, and Zanetti replaced Di Biagio.

When Kenny walked off the field, there was warm applause from the Italian fans in the stands. There is no doubt that they are very satisfied with the performance of this future superstar. It can be said that scoring a goal in the first show of the World Cup and establishing the victory for Italy can be said to be the best. Good situation!

"Good job, Lloris!" Coach Zoff also patted Kenny on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then turned back to stare at the court intently.

And just 3 minutes after Kenny left the field, the Italian team scored again and locked the score at 3:0. This time it was still Vieri, who forced Ecuador away after receiving a long pass from Tomasi. The defender abruptly created a one-shot, and pushed the far corner of the goal successfully.After scoring twice, Vieri is like a god descending from the earth, standing in front of the Ecuadorian goal, which is frightening.

This festival full of light and magic, we and you, you And we, for a dream that never dies We and you You and we stand firmer than ever. Here we are, with a heart as blue as the color of our sky! Transparent and powerful as our sea ! We are a pacemaker, no one can stop us, like on the tip of a huge wave!"

In the end, the game ended with a 3-0 victory for Italy. Amidst the loud singing, the Italian players appeared on the sidelines to express their gratitude to the fans present. This group of fans who traveled through thousands of rivers and mountains and accompanied the team all the way to Japan Undoubtedly a lovely and respectable object, and at the same time, this victory also made the coach Zoff temporarily stop the mouths of the group of media.

"Like any other athlete, I always get what I want and I can do what I want, and that's what's important to me. So be it, but be patient and I'm still going through my rehab program , and then prepare to go on vacation." Two days before the start of the game, Baggio said such a passage in an interview with the media. Although he was full of pain in his speech, he had no resentment, and he was even in the gym. The recovery training was going on, but these words undoubtedly caused an uproar.

If the loss of Ambrosini, Fiore and others can be accepted by people, then the fact that Baggio was not brought on the journey to the World Cup this time is the point that people are most dissatisfied with the coach of the national team.

Baggio's fans demanded that he be called up to the Italian national team, and even staged a sit-in in front of the Football Association's grounds to do so.Although there were not many people due to the rain, people expressed their firm belief. A female fan named Federica wrote on the sweater: For me, if Baggio is not in the national team, there will be no World Cup. ?Another t-shirt read: Italy without Baggio is like France without Zidane, Japan without Nakata, Brazil without Ronaldo, England without Owen, and Argentina without Veron.

In Cardolo, Baggio's hometown of Vicenza, the disappointment was unmistakable, with Baggio's brother George commenting despondently: "We can wait for Baggio's comeback, but is there hope? ?”

But despite this, Zoff did not compromise until before the expedition, and this hearty victory caused the media fans to temporarily forget about this matter, and enthusiastically discussed Vieri's two goals after the comeback of the national team Coming to the World Cup debut with Kenny, there is no way this is reality.Of course, they didn't think so much about the Italian players. After finishing the game, their next opponent is the Croatian team, which also belongs to Europe.

The first confrontation between the two teams dates back to 1942, when Croatia, which was not independent at that time, once formed a team alone to confront Italy, and the final result was a 0-4 disastrous defeat.But since the collapse of the former Yugoslavia, the Plaid Army has played against Italy 4 times. Among them, the European Cup qualifiers in 1996 had one win and one draw, and the two friendly matches also had one win and one draw.Therefore, although the strength is far stronger than the opponent, in a sense, the grid army is still quite restrained from the Italians. Therefore, the coach Zoff did not let the players relax these days, but actively urged the players to follow the schedule Continuing training on combat plans and tactics.

When the first round of the group stage of the World Cup is over and the second round of the group stage begins one after another, looking back at the results of each team, there is no one in the hearts of every traditional powerhouse that is heavy.

The star-studded Portugal was overthrown by the United States. In the game, both sides chose to fight against each other. The scene was quite open. The US team, which has young players such as Donovan and Beasley, took advantage of the fast and sharp wing cooperation. They got off to a fantastic start in the first half, scoring three goals in a row to take the lead, and were later pulled back by the more technically superior Portuguese team.On the other hand, England was tied by Sweden, Germany was also tied by Ireland, and France even failed to win two games against Uruguay, and the qualifying situation was precarious.Under such circumstances, Brazil and Italy, the only remaining two traditional giants, do not want to follow in the footsteps of their old friends.

Oh, and Argentina.

After the Pampas Eagles defeated the African Eagles in the first round, they met their old rival England in the second round of the group stage, so this war between Britain and Afghanistan became one of the few highlights again, also at the Sapporo Dome Stadium , in the final battle with no retreat, Argentina lost to England, helping England with only one point to get a precious three points and successfully surpassing the rankings, pushing Argentina to the bottom of the group, so after two rounds, Pampas The Eagles and the defending champion France can be said to be friends from the same country. One scored one point and the other did not. They also came to a dead end.

Such a battle situation made the media exclaimed. In the mysterious Asia, many powerful teams were defeated one after another. Could it be that France and Argentina will go home in the group stage?

You must know that Argentina is the fourth favorite to win this World Cup. Pochettino, Veron, Simeone, Samuel, Almeida, Batistuta, Crespo and others are undoubtedly not all-powerful characters.But at this moment, when people were sighing for the Pampas eagle, there was a news from France on the other side that Zidane would play with an injury in the final match against Denmark in the group stage. Try to help the French team qualify for the group stage.

June 6, Japan, Kashima, Ibaraki Prefectural Kashima Football Stadium.

Ibaraki Prefectural Kashima Football Stadium was established in May 1993 and has a total of 5 seats. It is one of the newest stadiums in the world. Here Italy will face its nemesis Croatia.

In this game, considering that all the powerful teams have fallen off the horse one after another, Italian coach Zoff sent a relatively safe main lineup, with Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta and Juliano on the defense line. Goalkeeper Buffon, who has performed extremely well at Juventus this season.In the midfield, Totti, Zambrotta, Zanetti, and Di Biagio are in charge, abandoning the young Gattuso and the unstable Tomasi.

In the end, Vieri and Del Piero became the starters of the game on the most eye-catching striker line, and whether it was Montella and Delvecchio who had not had a chance to play before, or Kenny and Piero who scored goals. Inzaghi, who came off the bench, could only sit on the bench temporarily and watch the changes in the situation on the field.

In the first half of the game, Italy still took the initiative. Although it did not bombard Ecuador to gain a terrifying overwhelming advantage, it also successfully suppressed the opponent on all lines, and Vieri It also showed his terrifying fighting power once again.After a fierce battle of more than 40 points in the first half, when the players on both sides were dragging their tired bodies and preparing to enter the intermission, he suddenly attacked.

After receiving Totti's cross, Vieri unexpectedly shot a cold arrow at the edge of the penalty area this time, which shocked the Croatian players who were about to get firmly stuck in the penalty area.

"Goal!!!!!!!!! No. 405 minutes!!! In the last time of the first half! When the referee was about to blow the whistle for the end of the game, Vieri! The unstoppable trend helped the Italian team take the lead! Vieri, who opened the scoring again, still showed his domineering side in the celebration! Three goals in two games! What a terrifying statistic, there is no doubt that the international Milan's leading striker brought his fiery form to the World Cup!"

"The Italian players were almost unprepared for this sudden surprise. They celebrated ecstatically, as if they had won a victory! We can feel the state of mind of the Italian players at the moment. Before the game, countless media shot Aiming at them, Italy and Brazil have become the focus of media and fans' attention due to the fall of the traditional strong teams! And the success of the Brazilians is the best comparison to Italy! This is the most direct comparison! "

"Will the Italians continue to win this game and defend the dignity of the old football powerhouse? Let us wait and see!"
