Chapter 164 Defensive Counterattack

In the final of the World Cup, Belgium actually led Italy. Look at the time. Now the game has just begun 15 minutes. Not only this goal, but also in the previous ten-min game, Belgium also suppressed Italy on the scene. In addition to Totti's shot, the Italian team is on the attack. There is no bright spot in the middle. In comparison, the Belgians obviously have to do better.

When the Belgian celebration ended and the game restarted, the Italian team still didn't look good. Lippi seemed to want to muddy the water through the continuous impact of Totti and Camoranesi in the middle, as well as Perota's tireless running. Unfortunately, it was not successful. The only few set-piece attacks were also Because of Digan's emphasis before the game, the whole Belgian team raised their vigilance and returned to no success!

The Italian team's strategy is monotonous, but Belgium is very popular. While basing on a stable defense, it is waiting for the opportunity to fight back.

The original defensive counterattack tactic is the essence of Italian football. Italians can be said to be profiant to use this tactic. This formation focuses on stabilizing the defense first, and then waiting for the opportunity to counterattack the opponent.

This way of play can be said to be very smart, first of all, a solid defense. The number of people in the midfield and backcourt is large and the gap is small, leaving little room for the opponent to play. And their own players can effectively defend the ball within a short distance. This can not only save the strength of the players, but also effectively attract the opponent's attacking players.

And the opponent can't fight an effective offensive organization when the number of people in the front court is not dominant. Once the number of attacking players in the front court is increased for the attack, the backcourt will inevitably be empty.

At this time, once the defending side gets the ball, it will be passed to the player in the opponent's half in time, and the defensive formation will immediately change to an offensive formation, that is, from 451 and 532 to 352 or 343. Reach the advantage of the number of players in the opponent in an instant, giving the opponent a fatal blow.

Italy's defensive counterattack is famous because, first of all, its defensive ability is known as reinforced concrete, which is very tight, and most importantly, the reason why Italy can achieve good results by relying on the tactics of this general weak team is that the outstanding talent of Italy's front-court players can quickly and effectively find teammates on the front line. The forward ability is strong, so it can create opportunities.

Previously, they defeated Ukraine 3-0 in the quarter-finals, ending the miracle created by the new World Cup team in the German World Cup. The Italian team defeated Ukraine with a defensive counterattack similar to the teaching film.

This game proves that compared with the Swiss team's staving tactics, Italy's strong defense and sharp counterattack is exemplary. The victory of this game brought Italy to an unbeaten record of 23 international matches.

Before this game, although the Italian team had a number of main players such as De Rossi, Nesta, Materazzi and other main players who could not play due to suspension and injuries, the team played at the highest level since the start of the game under the leadership of Buffon, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Totti, Tony and other main players. Their near-perfect performance in defense and offense made the Ukrainian team lose convincingly.

In the game, if Italy is allowed to score first, it will undoubtedly be a nightmare. Any Italian team that plays relatively normally has this strength and has the strength to give its opponent such a nightmare.

Italy's defensive counterattack is different from any other country's team. This is mainly reflected in the way of counterattack.

Some people say that Spain is the master of passing the ball. However, Italy's pass is not inferior at all. Speaking of long passes, Italy can be said to be the most accurate. This is not the gap between players, but the Italian defensive counterattack tactics required. The prosperous Italian team, any backcourt player, can launch an accurate long pass. And this long pass is not vague, not a chance, but strategic, accurate and guaranteed. Therefore, Italy's counterattack is the most efficient.

In addition to the long pass, Italy's counterattack also has a unique secret, that is, the Italian-style running position. This kind of running position is a complete indoctrination system developed from the beginning of child players after long-term accumulation. Every player will undergo such training. Therefore, Italy's counterattack is often an intellectual problem. Often before scoring a goal, they can't guess the way of scoring or the advance route of the ball, because this is Italy's running position, which makes it difficult for the opponent to predict.

This kind of unpredictable, sometimes, is not even the effect that the player deliberately wants, but the habitual football thinking that is deposited in every player's subconscious. Italy's counterattack, Italy's infiltration, often a few balls in an instant, have taken off the opponent's head.

More, it can only be comprehsible, unspeakable, and cannot be expressed in words.

What should I do if I lose the ball first?

It doesn't matter, Italians have never lacked foot skills. Those who think that Italians are rough are wrong. However, the innate character of the scattered Italians makes it impossible for Italians to concentrate and concentrate on their feet, so they are often cut off. However, the Italians are not afraid. They know how to fight back.

When the ball was lost first, the Italian had no choice but to attack it.

However, the Italian's attack is completely different from any other country's team. They will not run and besiege crazily, but always start from the backcourt, always giving the other party a chance to attack and give the other party space. Of course, they have gained space. At this time, destruction has become the main way. At this time, Italians will lure the opponent to attack and make the opponent feel that there is a gap to take advantage of. In the midfield and even the backcourt, the destruction and robbery in the offensive counterattack tactics seem to be destruction and interception, but this time is different. This kind of counterattack, It is not a defensive counterattack, but an offensive counterattack. After lucing the opponent out, it opens up space for the striker. At this time, the counterattack does not need much, and often several times can create opportunities, or even take the first.

Defensive counterattack, offensive counterattack, what they have in common is that the midfield remains unchanged. Whether it is the first ball or the first conceded ball, the midfield will always remain unchanged and always give the opponent a chance. Even if the ball is lost, it still gives the opponent a chance.

Some people say that the Italian team does not have a midfield and is always busy at both ends, either offensive or defensive. In fact, this is also the cunning place of Italians. Let the opponent fight and let the opponent see hope. In fact, a fatal counterattack is already brewing.

Of course, all this, first of all, Italy is very confident in its defense.

Let the opponent lose the gate when he sees hope. This is Italian football.

Italian football, some people say, is a conspiracy, a group of conspirators' football, which will be favored by those who know the ball.

It's just that this group of conspirators are very tenacious, or a group of conspirators who can't run away.

Of course, defensive counterattack is only one of the best ways to play, or one of the Italian team. And this style of play is definitely not monopolized by Italy, and Italy's defensive counterattack can never dominate the world.

Speaking of dominating the world, how to say? It should be said that Italy's defensive counterattack, tactically, traditionally, DNAally, undoubtedly must dominate the world.

However, why is it impossible to dominate the world forever? That is because the players of each national team are different. The gap between players leads to the effect of "defensive counterattack". Of course, there must be a gap.

Therefore, the effect of each Italian team's defensive counterattack is different, and the sensory response is also different.

Don't one-sidedly identify the "defensive counterattack" tactics from the naked eye. Italy's "defensive counterattack" is not retarded, not SB's, and not everyone can see it at a glance. Italy's defensive counterattack is ubiquitous all the time, but the hidden is relatively deep and is not so clearly detected.

Digan doesn't think that Italians are cowardly and can't fight. After two years in Serie A, he knows the temperament of Italians very well. They are just waiting for an opportunity and a fatal opportunity.

When this opportunity comes, Italy will reveal their minions and tear Belgium's defense to pieces.

What Belgium needs to do now is to concentrate and not give the Italians this opportunity to maintain the pace of the game.

However, those commentators in suits and ties will not have such deep consideration. They explain the game, but simply from the perspective of the scene, it seems that the Italian team is suppressed at present.

"The Italian team seems to be afraid in front of the Belgians. They look scared. There are few opportunities for football to enter the 30-meter area of the Belgian team! Lippi should make some changes, especially in Totti's position. He seems to be completely out of shape! It always gives people the feeling of being worried!"

Totti is indeed not in shape. In fact, since the World Cup, he has been out of shape. The game with Australia is a rare good game he has played, but he only played 30%.

Before the start of the World Cup, Totti announced that this would be his last international competition. After the World Cup in Germany, he would withdraw from the national team and concentrate on playing for Rome.

Lippi is obviously also very dissatisfied with Totti's performance. Among his tactics, Pirlo is the core of the organization, Totti is the Terminator and the conveyor of the last pass, but so far, he has not seen Totti's role at all.

Pirlo had several good passes, but unfortunately Totti failed to reach the point and was wasted.

The time of the game has passed minute by minute. On the whole, Lippi is basically satisfied with the performance of the Italian team. At least his tactics and the essence of Italian football, the players on the field are still very good.

Now the only difference is a goal!

Italy needs to score goals, and Belgium also needs to score goals, and they need to lock in the victory.

Although Degan is still running, his speed is obviously getting slower and slower. He even made mistakes in stopping the ball several times. The injury of his left leg made it difficult for him to play 100%.

He must score another goal to completely extinguish the hope of Italy's counterattack and lock in the victory. Only then can he get a break.

Digan was trying to find an opportunity to attack, which gradually affected his teammates, and the formation of the Belgian team began to gradually press up.

If it is put in peacetime, Degan will definitely remind his teammates to keep the formation and the distance between the three lines, but now he can't do anything about it.

He felt that his body had reached its limit, and at this time, he had to make a break from the game.

Gur cut off Totti's pass, and the Belgian team immediately accelerated and suddenly pressed up. The speed was so fast that the Italian team could not build a second defense line and could only concentrate the defensive forces at the front of the penalty area.

Digan got the ball, and Materazzi greeted him. His teammate Gattuso of AC Milan also rushed over from the back. Digan observed the position of the two people and was about to break through, but suddenly passed the ball out secretly. Materazzi was caught off guard and wanted to break the ball, but it was a little slower.

Little Mponsa received the ball on the line of the penalty area and observed behind him. He saw that Degan had run over, with Materazzi behind him and his heel back to do it.

Digan faced the ball and shot directly, but before he could kick the ball, his whole body flew up and fell heavily to the ground.

Antiennis, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but be shocked. He rushed to the sidelines in a few steps and stretched his neck to see how Digan was doing.

For good, Degan quickly stood up, and Antienes was a little relieved.

Everything just happened very quickly. Just as Degan was about to shoot, Cannavaro suddenly rushed over from the left side, shot fiercely and intercepted the ball. However, Cannavaro's tackle was very clean, and he even intended to avoid Degan's injured left leg. However, after intercepting the ball, he took the opportunity to bring Degan down. .

Strike back!

The camera was originally focused on Degan, wanting to see how he was injured?

Seeing that Degan stood up by himself, he immediately went to catch the football. At this moment, the football had passed the half-court and passed to Pirlo's feet.

After Pirlo received the ball, he made a long pass and hit the ball into the penalty area. Gul, who rushed over, quickly jumped up to intercept, but Pirlo did not want to enter him, but blocked the ball directly and hit the ball behind the Belgian defense.

The game has been going on until now, Totti, who has not entered the form at all, suddenly started, received the ball behind him, took the opportunity to move forward, and then drilled through the seams of Compani and Van Bitten.

"Danger! Totti has entered the penalty area! Proto attacked!"

Belgian commentators exclaimed, while Italian commentators sprayed hormones.

"Opportunity! Francisco. Toti! In today's game, he seemed to disappear on the court, but at the most critical moment, he appeared. Compani and Van Bitten failed to stop him, and Totti shot~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

"Spoon! It's a spoon! Totti scored a goal! A beautiful spoon shot! Totti proved to everyone that as long as he was on the court, even if he disappeared for 89 minutes of the whole game, as long as he was given a chance, he had the ability to change the game!"

The Italian commentator sang praise to Totti without integrity. You know, just a minute ago, he was still spraying Totti. He even suggested that Lippi should replace Totti as soon as possible to let De Rossi play in a better state. He even suggested that the Sensi family in charge of Rome should not renew the contract with Totti, because He is finished.

As a result, in such a blink of an eye, the rice field, who had just been pulled out, sat back by him again, and his face did not blush and his heart did not beat, as if the person who was full of feces just now was not him.

Can score a goal on the stage of the World Cup, even if it is as elegant as Totti, he can no longer control the heart-filled **. After confirming the goal, he ran to the side of the field, where Italian substitutes have been waiting for a long time.

Totti's handsome face became a little ferocious at this time, which was rare in the past. Even in the season when Rome won the championship, when Totti scored a crucial goal, he still smiled like a gentleman and calmly accepted the worship of the fans, but this time, he couldn't calm down.

This is the final stage of the World Cup, and he scored a key goal to bring Italy back to life!

Degan, who had planned to chase back, also stopped at this moment, crossed his waist and looked at the Italians who were celebrating the goal crazily. He did not feel frustrated. In fact, he will return sooner or later. Since Belgium has made a bet, it must be prepared to lose.

Lippi saw the goal, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, but the cultivation skills cultivated over the years were not comparable to Totti's. His coaching staff were jubilant, but he just clenched his fists and turned back to the coaching table.

It's the turn of the Italian fans to go crazy in the stands. Just now, they have been suppressed by the Belgians and don't even have a chance to make a sound. Now they can finally release themselves.

The stands were still red just now, but now they have become a deep blue. This is football. There is no eternal winner. This is football. Until the end of the game, no one knows who will laugh to the end.

Look at the time, just 35 minutes, there is still a chance, just equalized!

Degan doesn't think much about it. He has confidence in himself. Since he can break Fontaine's single World Cup record, he can constantly refresh it, and those who want to challenge in the future are desperate.

Degan thought that he was about to walk towards the center line, but as soon as his left foot landed, he suddenly felt a burst of heartache. In an instant, half of his body was numb.
