Chapter 349 Italy is very worried
Another day has passed since the World Cup, and the games have been continuous, and the fans have been paying attention to it. The second round of the group stage of Huaxia Hong Kong is about to start one day, but what's wrong with Li Yu? Whether you can appear on the field or not is a mystery!
Together with Jenny's figure, she also disappeared in front of the public. What happened?
Eriksson is about to release the starting list for the second game against Portugal, and the answer may be revealed at that time.
There's nothing we can do. Let's follow the game and wait for the news!
The first stage was Group F, Paraguay's match against Slovakia.
In the first match, Slovakia lost the ball at the last minute, and 1-1 unfortunately drew with New Zealand, missing the first victory in the history of the World Cup. Paraguay drew with the world champion Italy 1-1, and Martino's team may even win the game. In order to qualify, both sides have to win this game. In the warm-up match with the imaginary enemy Chile, Slovakia lost 1-2, and Paraguay defeated Greece 2-0. The two teams have no confrontation record in history, and this will be a complete encounter.
In this game, Weiss continued to out the double strikers of Witke and Sestak. Hamsik played in the midfield, Liverpool defender Scottel led the defense, and Muha guarded the gate. In Paraguay, Martino took on three strikers, Valdes, Santa Cruz and Barrios all played, and Bilar guarded the gate.
In the end, Paraguay beat Slovakia 2-0, with 1 win, 1 draw and 4 points in two games, while Slovakia will fight against Italy in the last round. In the 27th minute, Barios made a wonderful pass, and Bella broke the door in front of the first time. In the 86th minute, Livros locked the victory. The South American team performed very well in this World Cup. Previously, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay all won the group stage, and Paraguay was the fourth South American team to win.
When Paraguay beat Slovakia by 2 goals, fans can't help sighing that "football is not just a sport". People will feel **, strength from football, and also think and reflect in football. Two tragedies in Paraguay's football in 2010 made the whole country sad: January 25 card Vanias was shot and died suddenly in training on March 4, 19-year-old young player Cantro. Although Barios led the front line achieved nothing in two games, and the fans were not able to see the touching scene of the Paraguayan striker dedicated the goal to Cavanas, but the shining human brilliance of the former South American footballer after being shot: Yes Football brings people out of pain!
On January 25, the shooting in the head of Cavañas in a bar in Mexico City shocked Mexico, Paraguay and even world football. Cavañas played for the Mexican American Club. In 2007, he won the South American Footballer of the Year, the best scorer in the Chilean League, the best scorer in the Mexican League, and the Libertadores Cup. He is the best scorer. He scored 6 goals in 15 appearances in this world preliminaries, and is Paraguay's number one scorer. After his attack, Ball, president of the Club of the Americas, said, "This is a moment of reflection."
Indeed, the poor security situation in Mexico and even Latin American countries should be reflected. The shooting in Kabanhas is by no means an exception. Far away, Colombian defender Escobar was shot in an own goal, Colombian striker Baisella, who played for Saudi Al Jazara, was killed, and recently, a defender in Paraguay was attacked. A week later, Aguilas midfielder Silva was also shot. In May, Mesa, who played for Morelos in the Mexican Second Division, was killed.
The deterioration of public security in Mexico is shocking. Violent crime in Juárez has surpassed Baghdad as the city with the most serious violent crime in the world. Organized crime in Mexico caused about 3,000 deaths in 2008 alone, which has led to an increase in business operating costs. Employment opportunities have decreased, Mexico's economic growth rate has decreased by about 1 percentage point, and the economic loss is nearly 10 billion US dollars. The chaos of social order in Latin America can be seen from the Cavañas case. Although the case is so influential and the victim's reputation is so great, the Mexican police have not fully determined the identity of the suspect, let alone bring the suspect to justice.
The government and the system have done nothing, and it is still the brilliance of human nature. The encounter of Cavañas has caused a great shock in Mexico and Paraguay. Fans and the media prayed for the Paraguayan strikers. Cardozo showed a T-shirt printed with "strong living" in the charity competition organized by Zidane to assist the earthquake victims in Haiti. Leos, president of the South American Football Confederation, went to visit Cavanas on March 30, gave the ball and sent a message, "Continue to score goals", "complete recovery, normal life, and return to sports".
It can recover in an operation with a survival rate of only 20%. His attending physician said, "He must be selected to the World Cup list, which will give him the motivation to recover as soon as possible in the next few months." The American striker said to his father as soon as possible after the operation, "Dad, I want to play the World Cup". After the operation, Kavanhas showed many times. He showed his hope to participate in the World Cup, and then hoped to go to South Africa to cheer for his teammates. After confirming that his physical condition was not suitable, Kavanhast recorded a video to cheer and bless his teammates.
With such a strong personality and such a deep affection for football, Carvanas has become a "national hero" in the minds of the Paraguayan people. The national team coach Martino said before the game, "Cabanas is a very ** problem for all of us and all Paraguayans, and (his recovery) is a great encouragement." Long before the match against Italy, the Paraguayan media Etude Nation reported that "Barios will lift his jersey to reveal underwear with the name of Cabanas after scoring the goal," while Barrios, who was naturalized to replace Cabañas before the World Cup, said, "All our players play for him and will dedicate the victory to him. Because he is a very important player", it is a pity that Paraguay's "Four King Kongs" have not scored in the two games, and this very infectious shot has not yet appeared! Despite not being able to go to South Africa, Kavanas will still show the greatness of human nature and the greatness of football with Cowell!
In the first game in Italy, the Paraguayan media repeatedly questioned why Valdes started. The Borussia Dortmund striker solved himself with "strength". Although the second-duty Santa Cruz did not open a goal account in the starting game, it shows that the "strength" and "idol" and "idol" are the media and the all-round performance of being able to run, grab, pass and shoot. My favorite!
Martino has "happy troubles". Before the first game in Italy, he admitted that "12 people compete for 11 positions" and "four famous catchers" are available to everyone, but the name of the defending champion made the Argentine coach pragmatically choose conservative tactics, so Santa Cruz had to go to the bench. Santa Cruz, who scored 22 points as a substitute, made 4 successful 8-legged passes and a shot. The performance of "soy sauce" made the Kicker simply not score the former Bayern striker. Santa Cruz has no problem. "It feels good to play as a substitute. I feel that I can play longer!"
The rankings of Paraguay and Slovakia are almost the same. Direct dialogue can be called a "decisive battle". Martino, who is intended to score points, sent Santa Cruz to play the trident as the Paraguayan media wanted. Valdes reminded the fans, "Half of us are playing trident in the qualifiers. The Dortmund striker is slightly exaggerated. The Trident started only once in the world preliminaries: a 1-1 victory over Ecuador, and Santa Cruz, Valdes and Cavañas started together.
Paraguayan ABC website regards the game as "unequal friends". The 28-year-old Santa Cruz is Paraguay's number one star. He joined Manchester City in June 2009, and 20-year-old Weis was loaned to Bolton six months ago. The young midfielder played against Iceland on August 12, 2009. He played for Slovakia for the first time, and Santa Cruz has participated in the World Cup three times, scoring 21 goals for the national team. The brothers of the same family staged "Infernal Affairs". Little Weis regarded the senior brother as a "t tall and strong natural killer", and Santa Cruz asked his teammates to "don't be intimidated by the counterattack. We are not pure tridents, but one person to drag back the organization."
Despite the "undercover agent" of his younger brother, Santa Cruz's first "force" came very early. In the third minute, the Manchester City striker made a long shot with his right foot in front of the penalty area. The curvature and strength were good. Muha tried his best to save the bottom line. Paraguay's "fire wheel" is full of power, but there is also the problem of running-in while playing. Matip pointed out the running position of Manchester City striker in the game. The tacit understanding is not a problem that can be solved in one sentence. Barrios then passed too much, and the Manchester City striker chased to the bottom line, but no one followed. Santa Cruz had a good opportunity to score, and it was the "pireel wallet" sent by Salata's tackle. The Manchester City striker single-knife broke into the right foot and shot in the far corner, but was blocked by Muha's right toe again.
Martino's conservative thoughts recurred during the half-time, which made the flag wave and the city gate closed. Santa Cruz withdrew to the left wing defense. The Manchester City striker was not stuck in position. In the 65th minute, the right corner area was swept to the ground by Skrtel, and the referee and the border judge Qi Qi ignored it. After Valdes was replaced, Santa Cruz returned to the front again. The line and Barios "partnered" with the twin towers, and there was still a wonderful performance. In particular, the accurate cross pass from the left rib in the 72nd minute was amazing, and Bella's header was slightly deflected.
Manchester City's striker ran 9,880 meters in the game, second only to Livros, Caceres and Bonnett. Figures from Tencent World Cup data analysis master: Santa Cruz's 2 shots were straight, 9 prediction interceptions, 33 passes 25 successes, and Manchester City striker's 13 successful headers, and "empty bully" lives up to its reputation.
The second game of Group F will be played between Italy and New Zealand. Before the game, everyone thought it was a suspense-free game, but it turned out that the Italians would carry forward the thrilling style in the World Cup group stage to the end.
The status of the defending champion Italy in the warm-up match is worrying, and their performance in the first round of the group stage is also unsatisfactory. With De Rossi's front shot, Italy drew 1-1 with Paraguay. New Zealand is recognized as the weakest team in this group, but in the first round against Slovakia, their tenacious performance still won applause. With Reed's last-minute kill in stoppage time, New Zealand drew with Slovakia 1-1. Before the start of this round, the four teams in this group scored one goal and scored one point each, and the qualifying situation was very chaotic. There is only one match between the two sides in history. In a warm-up match before the Confederations Cup on June 10, 2009, the two sides started a goal battle. In the end, Italy defeated New Zealand 4-0, and Gilardino and Aquinta scored two goals each.
Today, Italy formed a strong attack array of 433, and Pepe, Gilardino and Yaquinta formed a trident. In the midfield, Marchisio is still starting, and the other two are De Rossi and Montolivo. On the guard line, Cannavaro and Chiellini partnered with the central defender, Crichito and Zambrotta left and right, and the goalkeeper is Marchetti. Except for the adjustment of the goalkeeper's position due to Buffon's injury, there was no change in Italy's other positions and the first game.
The defending champion Italy was tied 1-1 by New Zealand at the Mbobera Stadium in Nesplit. They scored 2 points in the first two rounds of the group stage. Whether they can qualify depends on the result of the last match against Slovakia. In the 7th minute, Smelltz took the lead for New Zealand. In the 29th minute, De Rossi made a penalty opportunity, and Yaquinta hit the penalty to equalize the score.
Before the match between Italy and New Zealand, Lippi kept emphasizing at the press conference that "we don't talk about individuals, the team is the first." Under the venue, reporters from various countries sneered and whispered, "That can't be helped, because there are no stars in Italy." Indeed, the Italian team played today can be called the most civilian Italy in history! One proof is that the sum of the annual salary of the Italian team is not as good as the three players of England, Spain and Brazil!
The Italian team is full of stars in history. Baggio and Rossi were all Golden Globe winners, and Varesi and Facetti were not forgotten. At the turn of the century, Vieri, Inzaghi, Piero, Maldini and other stars were praised by the world. Even in the last World Cup, the Italian team, Totti, Nesta and others, had a high reputation and recognition in Europe. But what about now?
In fact, there are still stars in this Italian team. At least, Buffon, Pirlo and Cannavaro have a high reputation. But Buffon and Pirlo were injured, and Cannavaro became the cancer of the team for two consecutive games because he was old. The current Cannavaro is obviously not at the top level. Today's Italian team, Mr. Top Salary and Mr. Top Price is De Rossi, who plays for the non-traditional giant team Roma, which was absolutely impossible for the Italian team in the past. At the same time, the Italian team is currently full of many people who play in the weak team with hundreds of thousands of poor salaries.
According to the information disclosed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, we might as well count the sum of the annual salary of the Italian starting players playing today. Marchetti, the goalkeeper who plays for Cagliari, has an annual salary of 200,000; De Rossi is the top salary, but only 3.6 million; Zambrota has an annual salary of 3.5 million; Cannavaro is 2.2 million; Chiellini and Marchisio are the low-wage class of Juventus, 2 million and 1 million respectively. Yaquinta's annual salary is 2.5 million, and Pepe's salary after his transfer to Juventus is about 1.3 million. Girardino holds Florence's top salary, which is only 2 million, while Montolivo is only 1.1 million. Crisito has an annual salary of only 700,000 yuan in Genoa.
In total, the annual salary of the Italian team is only 2010 million. You know, the annual salary of Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Eto'o and others is more than 10 million! In England, the sum of the salaries of Terry, Lampard and Ferdinand exceeds this number. In the Spanish team, the annual salary of Harvey, Casillas and Villa also exceeds this number; in Brazil, the annual salary of Kaka, Robinho and Lucio also exceeds this number... As a rich family, the annual salary of 11 people in Italy can only be the same as that of three people in Spain, England and Brazil, which is a little It's incredible.
In contemporary football, the annual salary of players is about the same as the reputation and strength of players. Although there may be a small number of players with low salary and high ability, it is illogical in itself that a team that aims to win is composed of a large number of low-paying players. The Italian team is known as a "civilized team", which is absolutely well-deable.
So why is that? There are several reasons. First, in recent years, the Serie A has been at a trough, and the owners of various teams have reduced their investments (such as Berlusconi), and the TV broadcasting fee revenue is only about 1/3 of that of the Premier League, which leads to the lack of financial resources in Serie A, so it is impossible to give high salaries to the team's players. On the other hand, the "telephone door" incident has hit Serie A hard, Juventus Such a team has to cut salaries sharply and adjust the salary structure. It is difficult to attract the top stars in Europe, and naturally it is difficult to promote the growth of the team's players. Third, a few teams like Inter, which have the financial resources to acquire the world's stars, are too fond of foreign aid and are unwilling to go to the chaotic Italy. Contact with the agent company where the Turkish player is located. At present, Inter's annual salary capacity is one of the best in Europe, but it can't provide a national football team for the Italian team!
Of course, the main reason is that Italian football is in a situation of talent shortage. Cannavaro, Buffon, Pirlo and other old champion players have aged one after another, and the growth momentum of young mesozoic players such as De Rossi, Montolivo, Aguilari and others has been hindered. Cassano, Balotel and others, who have the ability to change the Italian team, missed the Italian team because of Lippi's stubbornness. The price of lack of talents is a sluggish record.
In fact, a country's football level is bound to have a trough after experiencing a peak. After Italy won the championship in 2006, a large number of stars left, which is bound to leave a period of trough, which is a normal state of ups and downs. Perhaps, after a group of young players such as Balotelly, Thornton, Palosqui and Marchisio grow up, Italian football will usher in a new spring.
