“up!up!up!”

“up!up!up!”

Under Tardelli's urging, the starter of the Italian Olympic team came out of the locker room. Today's goal is very clear, that is, to defeat Chile and advance to the Olympic semi-finals.

Today, nearly 20 million Italian fans will sit in front of the TV to watch the game. They are full of expectations for the Olympic gold medal. Although Italy is only entering the quarterfinals now, they do not think there is a team that can snipe them.

Even for the sake of the National Olympic Team, the entire national league was delayed.

The players who appeared in the starting lineup today can be said to be all the most talented players in Italy, and they have brought everything they can.

"Look at Italian players playing football."

"They are very likely to be our opponent. Although Chile is very strong, Italy's skills and tactics will not be comparable to Chile's."

Back in the locker room, Holden did not lead the team back to the hotel, but asked everyone to stay and watch the game between Italy and Chile. He also believed that the Chinese team would most likely meet the Italian team.

"Who is Italy?"

"Don't you feel like there's one more Ambrosini? I don't feel how strong they are."

Everyone sat well in front of the TV, but Sun Jihai didn't think Italy was really as strong as people imagined.

"In 1998 and 2000, they were all popular, but the World Cup and European Cup were also cold. It feels like they were blown up."

Even Sun Jihai was floating.

"It's not just Ambrosini, right? Several players play as the main players in the club."

"How bad can those who can play the main players in Serie A?"

Fan Zhiyi knocked Sun Jihai on the forehead, "Don't take a bad head, watch the game seriously."

Fan Zhiyi was not floating, and stopped Sun Jihai's idea in time.

Zheng Zhi also thought so.

Then his statement is more detailed.

"Goaler Abiati played as the main player in AC Milan two years ago, and now he has become a substitute again."

"Ah! Why did I forget him? Yes, there is also Abiati, this guy has a strong goalkeeper," Sun Jihai immediately said ah and found that there is Abiati in Italy's starting lineup.

But Zheng Zhi didn't intend to stop being surprised by Sun Jihai. Although he became a regular rotation player in Arsenal, Italy is still a small World Cup now. How can he underestimate Italian players?

"The back line is also very good, Inter Milan's Chirilo, Bari's Ferrari, Udinese's Zach, and Turin's Koko."

"The midfield is actually very powerful," Zheng Zhi wanted to sigh. The midfield is almost Milan's future midfielder. You said he is not strong, wuwu...

"Milan's Ambrosini, Gattuso, Inter Milan's Pirlo, Roma's Zanetti, and Juventus's Zambrota are on the bench."

He is a later generation and knows what this midfielder actually represents, so Zanetti's level is relatively ordinary.

"Forwards Komandini and Ventola."

"I think our strongest opponent is them."

"Chile is not the opponent."

...

...

At 18:30 pm, the Italian vs. Chile game started at the Sydney Stadium.

Italy retreated to the backcourt at the beginning and gave the big space to Chile. Chile attacked wildly. Zamorano did not get injured in the last round of the group stage, but continued to start. He got a chance to shoot in the first 3 minutes of the game. Udinese defender Zanci was removed by him and pulled to the front point to receive the pass from his teammate, and directly shot the front point with his right foot. However, Zamorano did not expect that there was Ferrari next to him blocking his shot.

Although a terrifying scene was staged at the beginning, Italy continued to play the game step by step.

Their formation is more inclined to 4312, Ambrosini, Gattuso and Zanetti form three midfielders, Pirlo is in the front midfielder and stares at Comandini and Ventola in front.

Chile has the advantage for more than ten minutes in a row, but Chile does not have many offensive methods. When it reaches the front point, it will be thundering loudly and raining, and there will be no real threat.

"That's it?"

"Didn't you see anything?"

"It has been suppressed by Chile."

Sun Jihai rolled his eyes, feeling that Zheng Zhi had blown his head.

"As sooner or later, Chile will score. Zamorano, an old frivolous guy, has a good chance of scoring a goal."

At this time, Fan Zhiyi interrupted.

"Ji Hai,"

"You didn't notice that when we played against Chile in the third round, the situation was somewhat similar? At that time, we were also suppressed by Chile at the beginning, but in the end we won. If you want to understand Italy, you should know the characteristics of the Italian team. They are all defensive counterattacks, and the scene is of course not very good. And they are the ancestors of defensive counterattacks."

"oh……"

While guarding, Pirlola went to the left and received an Ambrosini's pass. A beautiful Marseille spiral ball turned around and easily got rid of the opponent. He just looked up and looked ahead and immediately gave a shot over the top!

The ball quickly crossed the Chilean team's defense and fell into the right side of the penalty area. Ventola rushed up alertly, removed the ball with his left foot and immediately swung the ball towards the back post with his right foot. The Chilean goalkeeper had no reaction at all.

"Hey, this guy who passed the ball,"

"So amazing."

"It's a bit like Zheng Zhi."

"This pass is like installing a radar..."

"He is Pirlo. We are from Inter Milan and have a very good footwork. We were taken back by the club this year." Zheng Zhi smiled. Young player Pirlo, of course you don't know each other now, so you will know each other in the future.

"Oh, then it's highly likely that it's your substitute. It feels very suitable to be your substitute." Li Yin suddenly said, "But his defense is not good, so he can only be placed in the front midfielder. No, ah, there is also a Seedorf in your team, and this guy may not be able to play the ball, tragedy."

Yes, there is also Seedorf. If Seedorf is there, Pirlo will have less playing time. Li Yin still has some understanding of Inter Milan.

"Not necessarily. With the head coach's habits, he may also imitate Italy, and it may not be necessary to play a 4312 formation." Zheng Zhi analyzed.

"Have you never met him? Why did you know he would make such a arrangement?"

Zheng Zhi: "I guess... he likes defense."

...

...

The game continued, and the lagging Chile team was anxious again and almost flattened Italy's formation. But Italy ushered in the second goal, which was still in a similar way. Italy defended in the backcourt, and Gatuso tackled the ball. Gatuso handed the ball to Pirlo. Pirlo looked up again. This time he saw Koko actively inserted from the left, and passed the ball to Koko. Koko made a cross from the bottom and sent the ball to Komandini's head, and Komandini headed the ball.

2:0.

In just 28 minutes, Italy took the lead with a two-goal lead.

"Hey, Italy is really strong, and I feel like they haven't tried their best to play Italy?"

"Their defensive counterattack is really excellent. The left defender Koko ran to the left forward, and his speed is so fast. This guy is the left back!" Sun Jihai finally retracted his contempt and focused on the game seriously.

"This guy is on my side then."

"But I won't let him hit me behind me so easily."

Obviously, he learned something.

The half ends and the side changes again.

Just one minute into the game, Ambrosini, Gattuso and Pirlo made continuous wall-to-wall cooperation. Pirlo got the ball and pulled it out to the right and immediately passed it straight to tear the Chilean team's defense line. Ventola once again formed a single shot and achieved it in one go.

3:0.

"That guy again!"

"This guy assisted two times."

"Zheng Zhi, it's really similar to you,"

"But it's much more handsome than you. Even I am tempted by this long flowing hair. Zheng Zhi, it's time for you to cut your hair. You are playing football in Milan City, the fashion capital. If you are selected as the ugliest player, then..."

Sun Jihai stuck out his tongue quickly, and now his favorability towards Pirlo has increased greatly.

But what are you doing when you step on Zheng Zhi?

"Uh, I can introduce you to you if you really like him." Zheng Zhi rolled his eyes. He also had half-length hair. No, he had to cut his hair, otherwise he would have been compared by them. Although Sun Jihai's words were a bit ugly, he was indeed in the capital of Milan...

"Yes, if it were me, it would be almost the same." Li Yin blew his soft long hair next to him and took the initiative to join the discussion.

"cough,"

"Ahem,"

"Look at the football, let's continue watching the football."

...

...

The situation is over, and Chile still cannot score goals, and its playing style has become more and more messy. The team cooperation is gone and it is trapped in a single fight, which makes Chile even worse.

In the 81st minute, Italy launched a quick counterattack again. Pirlo transferred the ball to Zanetti on the left. Zanetti dribbled the ball and quickly cut into the middle, and was finally knocked down 25 meters away from the middle of the penalty area. Italy won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Pirlo stood in front of the ball, assisted four steps, and drew a strange arc with his right foot. The ball suddenly sank into the lower right corner of the goal in the air as if it had encountered an airflow!

4:0.
