MTL - Fox in the Penalty Area-Chapter 260 live the way you want
After Caesar came on stage, all eyes and cameras were on him.
The "flying cat" camera cruising over the stadium also specially airborne to his side, and took a 360-degree "sweeping pot" aerial photography of him.
Even at this time, Caesar actually did nothing. Now, that's called "Top Superstar." Hu Lai's performance in the last two seasons can also be called a superstar.
But in terms of personal aura, he is still far behind Caesar, a superstar of the older generation.
Some people may think that this is the reason for Hu Lai's special temperament.
But not so.
Meli and Kabanka of the same era can also be regarded as well-known top stars.
The championship honor is not less.
But in front of the veteran "Four Heavenly Kings", they will always give people the feeling of "short head".
Among the "Four Heavenly Kings", Celius Caesar, who is the most aggressive, really has his own "dominant spirit".
Just like his name.
But in fact, Celius Caesar was not originally called Caesar. His real name was Celius Marcello Palazzino.
He added "Caesar" to his name after he became an adult because he worshiped the historical Julius Caesar.
So his full name became Celius Caesar Marcello Palazzino.
He chose to only print "Caesar" on the jersey, so that everyone could call him "Caesar".
At the very beginning, his approach caused ridicule and confusion from everyone.
But at the age of 18, he withstood all the pressure from the outside world and practiced his beliefs on the court with his actual performance—he wanted to be the Caesar on the green field!
Taking the real Julius Caesar as his idol and aiming at the real Julius Caesar, Celius Marcelo Palazzino finally lived the way he wanted step by step.
No one would mention or even remember his real name anymore.
Everyone called him "Caesar" as if he was really the Roman king more than two thousand years ago reborn in the green field.
However, the ending of Julius Caesar in history was not very good, which seems to coincide with the plight of Celius Caesar at the end of his career.
After Caesar came on the field, Italy indeed stepped up its offensive appropriately.
They played relatively simple offense and wanted to go directly to Caesar, the high point in front of the goal.
But tried a few times, the effect is not very good. Because the Chinese team also carried out a targeted defense against Caesar.
Wang Guangwei followed Kaiser every step of the way, not giving him a chance to grab points in the penalty area.
Coupled with the fact that Caesar's current physical function has declined significantly and his range of activities has narrowed, it is still relatively easy to defend.
Seven or eight minutes into the game, Caesar has not even completed a successful grab and shot.
Eighty minutes into the game, the score was still 0:0. "Look, let me tell you. What are you doing here?" Tang Yuan pointed to Caesar in the curtain and said.
"If you want to open up, at least you don't have to take the blame." Mao Xiao comforted Tang Yuan. "The last game, Italy didn't win, they said it was because of Caesar@
It might be difficult to win, but a draw should be fine. "Tang Yuan said, then sighed, "Caesar
It really can't work... Alas! "
Italy stepped up its offensive, and the Chinese team stepped up its counterattack.
In the counterattack, it was difficult for Hu Lai to get a chance because he was heavily marked by the Italian defender. So he used his running position to give his teammates a chance to shoot.
The Chinese team took advantage of the gaps and opportunities created by his running.
But to be honest, even attackers like Zhou Zijing and Chen Xingyi were far from being able to compare with Hu Lai in terms of offensive efficiency.
It can't even compare with the first-class level in Europe. Zhou Zijing's ability to play the ball is good, but his scoring ability is poor.
Chen Xingyun is able to lead and pass, and his scoring ability is relatively weak.
They are able to secure the main force in their respective clubs, not relying on one goal after another.
This is why the Italian team would rather let Hu Lai create space for his teammates and create opportunities, but also continue to stare at Hu Lai.
They know very well who is the most threatening player of the Chinese team.
Other Chinese players, including those who have made their name in Europe, are at best European level in the eyes of the Italian team, but they are not yet at the top level in Europe, let alone the top.
Such opponents are not uncommon for them. They have rich experience in dealing with them and know what to do. It is actually not difficult.
Only Hoolei is completely special.
He is an opponent that gives all Italian players a headache, unlike all the players they have encountered before.
Even when Caesar was young, he was not as difficult as Hu Lai. She was so cunning that she didn't dare to distract herself for a second.
Don't look at Mattioli's defense of Hu Lai in this game and now he hasn't scored a goal, but Mattioli won't feel that he has won. As long as the referee didn't blow the final whistle, he didn't dare to relax, and he had to bite on Hu Lai as long as he had one breath left.
So in fact, he is also very embarrassed. The space behind him has to be filled by other teammates of the team.
He used to wipe other people's asses, but now the whole team wipes his asses.
All this is because of Hu Lai.
Not long after Luo Kai was replaced, Zhang Qinghuan was also replaced.
However, Dillon did not replace Zhang Qinghuan with Guo Junfu for a counter-substitution.
Instead, he replaced Gao Ruimin and formed two defensive midfielders with Ou Yangjin.
The two of them, together with Xia Xiaoyu, lined up in the middle of the midfield with three midfielders.
This is an adjustment that is obviously wanted to be on the safe side. Unable to attack for a long time and worried about being attacked by Italy, Dillon slowed down the pace of the Chinese team.
After all, for the Chinese team, even if the game is a tie, it is completely acceptable.
One win and one draw earn four points, Italy two draws earn two points, and Spain has yet to play the game, so we don't know the result, but even if Spain wins and gets three points, they will have to fight Italy in the end.
In this way, it becomes very difficult for Italy to surpass the Chinese team in points by defeating Spain.
No matter what the situation is, as long as the Chinese team loses to Nigeria by a small score, they can qualify from this group.
So there's absolutely no need for Dillon to take the risk of trying to beat Italy.
Although he is a Spaniard, he has coached in Italy for a long time and knows Italian football very well. In his opinion, the Italians are very good at playing in stalemate situations because they
Can hold on. So even if it seems that the Italian team is not playing well on the scene, being under pressure or something... But in the end they often win.
The performance of the Italian team in the World Cup European qualifiers is a good proof of this point.
If you look at the process of their game, most of them are unconvincing.
I feel that from the perspective of the scene and the process, Italy should not win.
But they won in the end.
This Italian team rarely has a hearty victory, and the victory and defeat are all in one or two
between balls.
They are particularly good at dragging their opponents into the quagmire, and then hugging each other and rolling into a ball. The scene looks ugly, and it is even impossible to see that they can win. But in the end, they must be the ones who crawled out of the quagmire out of breath, while their opponents were already lying in the quagmire dying...
"The Chinese team slowed down."
"That's right, that's right. A draw is perfectly acceptable..."
The game between the Chinese team and the Italian team was only one hour away from the last game between Sweden and South Korea, and the entire England team also gathered to watch.
They don't watch every World Cup match, but they must pay attention to the matches of their opponents in this group and the matches of their opponents in the quarter-finals.
Seeing Dillon make adjustments, the England internationals commented one after another.
The subsequent game also proved everyone's judgment, because the Chinese team shrunk their defense and slowed down to withstand the Italian offensive, and they even had a counterattack that could threaten the Italian goal.
"If the Chinese team draws with Italy in this game, then they may have a great chance of winning the first place..."
Jay Adams to Pete Williams by his side.
Pete nodded, but said nothing.
If both England and China finish first in their respective groups, then the quarter-finals will be out of the question.
You have to wait until the semi-finals... (Note 1) But if you wait until the semi-finals... there are too many variables in the process, and Pete doesn't know if he can realize his wish to meet Hu Lai and Zhou Zijing.
It's not because he has no confidence in the Chinese team. In fact, he doesn't have that much confidence in the England team, thinking that the team will definitely reach the semi-finals.
There are too many obstacles in the middle.
Argentina, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Spain...these could all be threats to England.
It may also become a threat to the Chinese team... and the World Cup is a tournament system that is most prone to upsets.
The two hosts of this World Cup both lost in their first games, which shows the unexpectedness of the World Cup.
Just when everyone thought that the game was likely to end in a draw, the Chinese team got a chance to counterattack.
Caesar was defeated when he was fighting for the top with Wang Guangwei in the frontcourt. Italy's wide cross made Wang Guangwei go out.
The Chinese team took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack. Although a draw is completely acceptable, it does not mean that the Chinese team will be indifferent when there is a chance to win.
Wouldn't it be better if we could win Italy and qualify for the group stage one round earlier?
At that time, more substitute players can come on the field to get training opportunities, feel the atmosphere of the World Cup, and also make the internal atmosphere of the team more harmonious.
However, the counterattack of the Chinese team did not succeed. Just after advancing to the 30-meter area, it was blocked by Italy.
Then Italy tried to fight back.
In order to prevent the Chinese team from counterattacking, Gao Ruimin, who came off the bench in the second half, fouled the Italian midfielder Marco Rossini who was holding the ball near the center circle of the front court.
The Italian counterattack was delayed.
"Strike! Gao Ruimin's tactical foul is smart and timely!"
Here the Chinese commentator was boasting, while Rossini got up from the ground and saw Gao Ruimin and other Chinese players who were retreating.
Most of them, like Gao Ruimin, were walking back.
But instead of walking backwards, turn around and go back. He suddenly realized that this was an opportunity to fight back!
So his eyes quickly cruised around the frontcourt, and found that Caesar was the most front.
The latter was originally rushing forward, but when he turned around and saw that Italy's counterattack had not started, he turned and returned to defense. Then halfway back to the defense, the Chinese team's counterattack was unsuccessful. Italy had a chance to counterattack again, and he turned around and ran forward again. After running a few steps and hearing the whistle, he looked back and saw that Marco Rossini was pulled to the ground by a tactical foul, and Italy's counterattack could not be fought, so he stopped and walked back slowly.
However, although he walked back slowly, his eyes were always observing the situation behind him. As he walked, he saw the scene in front of him, and saw Marco Rossini getting up and looking forward.
Caesar immediately reacted, he quickened his pace, and ran back two more steps to allow himself to reintegrate into the Chinese team's defense.
Then at this moment, Rossini kicked the football directly!
Wang Guangwei is the only player on the defense line of the Chinese team who walks backwards, so that he can observe the opponent's movements.
He did observe Rossini's movements, and reacted.
But there is a problem with walking backwards, that is...you need to turn around to chase back!
By the time he turned around, the football had already passed him past the turf!
In front of him was Italy's number eleven, Celius Caesar!
Wang Guangwei also doesn't know if Caesar is offside, and now the rules will not stop the game immediately. You have to wait for the end of an attack before telling you whether it is offside or not.
So you can't stop and raise your hand to complain to the referee for offside.
He can only continue to chase back.
The only good news... this is Caesar who is thirty-eight years old, not twenty-eight, so he can still catch up!
"Rossini free-kick quickly! Dangerous!" "Italy's chance to counterattack!"
There was another roar of cheers and boos coexisting at the scene.
It's just that this time who made the cheers and who made the boos... It's hard to say!
Wang Guangwei accelerated to chase back.
Although I played the game for almost 90 minutes and consumed a lot of physical energy, I have to hold on to my teeth now, and I must not lose the chain!
He saw Caesar running ahead, but felt that he was getting closer and closer...
Finally, when he was about to enter the restricted area, UU read www.uukanshu. com he caught up with Caesar.
But the two of them also rushed into the penalty area together. At this time, Wang Guangwei can only stick it up, using his own body to cover the opponent's body for interfering with his box ball to offend the opponent and interfere with his crime ball.
Judging from Caesar's performance this season, his physical confrontation ability has also dropped a lot.
Therefore, Wang Guangwei is still confident that he can squeeze Caesar.
But at the same time he squeezed up, Caesar, who was on the outside, suddenly took another step of the football to the outside, and then kicked!
Lin Zhiyuan, who originally cooperated with Wang Guangwei's attack, was planning to block Caesar's shooting angle, but he didn't expect Caesar's shot to be so decisive and sudden... he just kicked the football away with his front foot, caught up with his back foot and shot directly!
Lin Zhiyuan fell to the ground in a hurry and made a save, but missed the ball!
The football flew over his body and rushed straight into the goal behind him!
No one expected that with a counterattack from Italy and a shot from Caesar, they would take the lead!
Note 1: The setting of the upper and lower halves of this World Cup in the book is calculated according to the group, without crossover, which is different from the setting of the World Cup in Qatar in the real world.
That is, the qualifying teams of the four groups A, B, C, and D will automatically enter the upper half. The qualifying teams from the four groups E, F, G, and H automatically enter the lower half.
This is for simplicity and convenience, lest I make a mistake while writing.
