v5 Chapter 303： Tit for tat

Many media outside the world are talking about the penalty shootout. More people think that there will be a penalty shootout between Italy and England. The two teams will decide the victory with a "cruel" penalty. The Italian media continues to build momentum for Italy, and many neutral media also follow 'not optimistic about England'. Baidu search: kanshu58

The English media quickly launched a 'counter-attack' to justify the England team. "Daily Mirror" is the leading media. They used the analysis of the Italian team's data to understand that even if there was a penalty shootout, the England team's winning rate was very high.

"Daily Mirror" specially analyzed the penalty kicks of the main penalty players in Italy and England from the 28-29 season to the present, and analyzed the penalty habits of Italian players in detail. Help Hart before. "

These data are not optimistic for Italy.

Italian striker Balotelli hit all 9 penalties in the past. Relatively speaking, he is more inclined to throw the ball to the left of the goalkeeper. His efficiency is still very high. It is also considered to be the only one in the Italian team. The player who scored a penalty.

Another forward, Cassano, has been saved twice for a penalty kick, and the goal efficiency is not high, but Cassano's penalty direction is difficult to find regularity.

From the 28-29 season so far, De Rossi has only scored half of his penalty kicks. His favorite angle is the goalkeeper's upper right corner.

Di Natale may be the best penalty shooter in Italy, Italy's "King of Penalties", he is not paranoid on the left or right side of the penalty, what he is doing is to find a way to break the goal, but his The efficiency of scoring is actually not high-9 of 14 penalties are hit, and the hit rate of less than one percent is just barely passing.

Finally, the Italian midfielder Pirlo, many people compare Pirlo and Morris, and think that Pirlo's technology is better than Morris, and then subconsciously think that Pirlo's penalty efficiency is definitely better than Morris. To be high.

In fact, this is wrong.

In the past 9 penalties, Pirlo missed a penalty. It is worth noting that Pirlo never kicked the ball to the left side of the goalkeeper, but his shooting rate on the right side is not high (4 out of 4) ).

"Daily Mirror" final evaluation, "According to historical records, Italy is also not good at penalties. In the past penalties, they only won 2 times."

"Daily Mirror" analysis, the key is to prove that "Italian penalties are not good", the following chapter lists the England team's penalty players-Rooney, Morris, Gerrard, Azerbaijan Shili Cole, Ashley Young and Milner, but for the sake of possible "confidentiality", "Daily Mirror" only gave pictures, and did not analyze this.

Other English media soon followed, and began to report on the Italian penalty problem.

In addition to the penalties of the two teams, many media reports also focus on two core players-England's core Morris, and Italy's highly sought-after player is striker Balotelli.

Balotelli is a genius in the Italian team. He is only 2 years old, but he has become the core player of the striker. Almost every team that encounters Italy has to worry about defending Balotelli.

At the age of 15 years, Balotelli played on behalf of Serie C Lumenzane, setting a historical record in the Italian professional league.

On the last day of the 26-year summer transfer, the head of Inter Milan ’s transfer department found Balotelli ’s brother and his agent Corrado and asked for relevant information, and immediately gave Balotelli a copy A three-year contract.

In the 26-season, Balotelli scored 19 goals in the first 2 games of the -1 youth team, then was promoted to the -19 youth team in the second half of the season, scored 9 goals, and helped the Inter-19 youth team get The youth league champion, therefore attracted the attention of the first team coach Mancini.

On December 1, 2 years, 2 minutes before the end of the match between Inter Milan and Cagliari, Balotelli backed up for Suazo, this is his first time to represent the Inter Milan first team in the official match. In the match of the Italian Cup with Regina the next day, Balotelli for the first time in the first team match, he not only played 9 minutes, but also scored two goals.

Balotelli's outstanding performance also helped Inter Milan win the 2-8 Italian Football League Championship.

In 28 years, the 18-year-old Balotelli renewed his contract with Inter Milan until 211. The annual salary of 120,000 euros made him the highest-paid player of his peers. On November 4, Balotelli played against the Cyprus Football League. League team Anososis made his first UEFA Champions League goal, becoming the youngest player in Inter Milan history to score a UEFA Champions League goal, breaking the previous record of 18 years and 145 days held by Martins .

In the 29-1 season, Balotelli performed outstandingly. Compared to last season, Balotelli became the third forward after Diego Milito and Eto'o due to the loss of several key forwards this season. Subsequently, he played as a backup in the first three games, including a 4-match derby against Milan, and then scored two goals and one assist in the home game against Palermo. Win.

Due to his outstanding performance in Inter Milan, Balotelli received the attention of all Europe and the world. In 21 years, he joined the Manchester City club, with a transfer fee of up to 280,000 euros.

In the last game, Balotelli was in a state of bravery. He almost directed Manchester City's 6 to 1 massacre against Manchester United, and played 28 times throughout the season, helping Manchester City scored 19 goals.

This performance is enough to make Balotelli receive the highest attention.

At present, this Italian team is actually not very good. After the failure of the 21st World Cup, Italy fell into a huge trough. Prandelli took over the team and completed the reconstruction that Lippi did not complete, although Buffon, A veteran like Pirlo, but at the same time, players such as Cassano, Chiellini, Montolivo began to provoke girders, as well as Balotelli, Lanozia and other young players who have been famous for several years. The Italian team can, and is in the process of rebuilding.

In this Italian team, Balotelli has attracted much attention, he can also be the ‘number one star’ in the team.

The England team is about to play against the Italian team. How to defend Balotelli has also become the focus. Wan Sheng also attaches great importance to this. During the preparation of the England team, Wan Sheng also emphasized the blockade of Balotelli to prevent This strong, technical and outstanding striker poses a threat to the England defence and goal.

Balotelli is not easy to defend, because his technical body is very good.

Wan Sheng made three defensive strategies against Balotelli: First, more physical confrontation, the England team is not weaker than others in physical confrontation, especially after Wan Sheng takes over, the physical attributes of the team players have been improved, like They are strong defenders such as Terry and Lescott. They are not afraid of physical conflict at all. They can fully compete with Balotelli and create enough pressure and trouble for Balotelli.

The second is to create offside.

This is also considering the overall strength of Italy. The long passes of Pirlo and Montolivo are very deadly. There is no need to think about life in the face of single-handed Balotelli.

If you can successfully create offside, Balotelli will become impatient.

An impatient striker doesn't have much threat.

However, Wan Sheng particularly emphasized that this should be minimized, because the offside is a flying shovel that is not dangerous. The rear line must maintain a high degree of concentration, especially on the side of Aberoia. If the full-back fails to press in time when the offside is made, the goal will become very dangerous.

To defeat the Italian team, of course, the overall struggle is indispensable. The midfield becomes the most important ‘field of battle’. Fighting for the initiative of the midfield is crucial to the progress of the entire game.

————

In outside reports and internal preparations, three days passed quickly.

The game between Italy and England is about to start.

Both teams have entered the stadium to warm up, and fan audiences have also begun to enter the field to watch the game. The English fans have continued their strong past. Unless they play against a host like Ukraine, the number of English fans is always the largest.

Some foreign media believe that "the England team can play such a good result, it is inseparable from the absolute support of England fans."

Italy is relatively weak.

This was played in Dynamo Kiev, Ukraine. Italy moved from Poland to Dynamo Kiev. The weakness of the "away" game is fully manifested. At least 10,000 fans have arrived in England, and there are at most 4 Italian fans.

This has nothing to do with the majority of Italian politicians joining the boycott of the Ukrainian European Cup, and has little to do with the European economic downturn, because Italian fans have brought their inertia to their national leagues to the national team, they prefer to sit at home and watch live broadcasts with friends.

Italy vs Ireland, 10,000 spectators at the start, Cassano's goal rose to 20,000, Balotelli scored over 210,000 at the end of the match, the number of TV media concerns continued to increase, the increase in the total showed that fans did not change midway Taiwan signs.

In the ratings report compiled by the Italian national television station, the ratings at the opening were 6.6 percent and the finals were 1.29 percent.

Every 1 spectator is watching the Blue Shirts game.

Italy ’s census last year showed that the country ’s population is over 60,000, and more than one-third are paying attention to the national team ’s qualifying battle.

This is the most watched TV show in Italy this year, and the audience of the Sanremo Festival is only 1.28 million.

But the ratings of TV channels do not mean that Italian fans are enthusiastic about supporting the national team. They rarely come to support fans on the spot. Italian star De Rossi said that when the audience is young, "How many people have the ability to watch the ball with this economic background?" This is what happened to England fans from generation to generation, and gathered in large numbers to rush together. Fortunately, the game is 11 people to 11 people. If we consider the number of fans, we do n’t have to compare. I hope that if we advance again, the fans can come more, just like in 26 years. Like Germany. Our politicians boycott Ukraine? The details are unclear, we just play well. "

The number of fans in Italy is small, which is good news for England, and there will be more fans to support the game.

"If the team performs well, this may become our home court."

At the press conference before the game, Wan Sheng smiled and said, "There will be an advantage at home, I believe the team will also play an advantage, and strive to let more neutral fans support us."

After talking about some additional topics, the focus returned to the game. Wan Sheng once again reiterated that he would win the game in 9 minutes. "We will fight for the game in 9 minutes. I believe we can do it. But the football game The result is always unpredictable. If we really want to have a penalty shootout, we will also be the winner. The only thing is that the game is a bit difficult ... "

The Italian media immediately asked, "Why are you doing this?"

"Because of self-confidence." Wan Shengdao said, "I know my team and Italy well. Yes, I haven't coached the Italian team, but it's okay. I have already got to Italy through the video of the game. Fully understand that they will not be our opponents. "

"If you don't believe me, you can watch it in the game!"

Wan Sheng finished these and left the meeting place.

After a few minutes, Italian coach Prandelli also came.

Prandelli is a former Italian national team star player, and the coaching team is also quite successful. Verona's two seasons are the beginning of Prandelli's coaching. He not only helped the team successfully advance to Serie A and successfully relegated, but also Ranked ninth.

After that, he led Venice to the first class.

In 22 years, Prandelli coached Palma. It was at this time that he began to attract the attention of the whole of Italy. In 24 years, he entered the ranks of the rich coaches. However, because his wife was seriously ill, Prandelli had to resign. Position.

In 25 years, Prandelli entered Florence. As a result, he took the team into the Champions League in the first season, but due to the penalty of the phone door, Florence missed the Champions League. The second season started with a negative 15 points, although Encountered a penalty, but Florence still ranked sixth at the end of the season and qualified for the Europa League.

In the next two seasons, Florence has qualified for the Champions League, and the league and the Champions League have performed very well.

With Ancelotti leaving Milan, Prandelli became the longest-serving Serie A coach at the time.

In 29 years, he became the longest coach in Florence history.

Judging from Prandelli's experience, he knows that he is a well-known figure in the football world. Even though his team's performance is incomparable with that of Wan Sheng, his reputation is no less than that of Wan Sheng. He never lacks supporters.

After Prandelli walked into the news conference and heard the reporter retelling Wan Sheng, he wrinkled slightly, and then said, "It must be admitted that Wan Sheng is an excellent head coach. He led the team to get one after another. Champion, but the national team is not the same as the club. This is the European Cup, not the Champions League. He coaches the England team, not Atletico Madrid. "

"He likes to put the familiar set on the team ~ www.novelhall.com ~ But the team is different from the team, the game and the game are different, he never led the team to play against Italy, how can he ' Understand? I believe that this game will be a lesson for him, let him know not to underestimate the enemy ... "

"As for the game, the winner will of course be Italy!"

Although Wansheng and Prandelli did not meet head-on, their words were still full of gunpowder, so when the game between England and Italy officially started, many TV channels gave a picture of the comparison between Prandelli and Wansheng.

In the picture, Prandelli has a large forehead and a serious expression, while Wan Sheng is smiling, and there seems to be no pressure.

"From the expression of the two, Wan Sheng is more confident in the game, but Italy is not easy to deal with, we can expect to see a wonderful contest!"

Special guest of "Salary Sports", Huang Jianxiang, the "Italian Fan" everyone knows, analyzed.

The game started.
