Capello adjusted his glasses with his middle finger.
To be honest, he really didn't want to meet Kevin Huang.
If it was that guy Prandelli, he would be sure to beat the opponent.
The Italian national team is learning Spanish football, which sounds fucking unreliable.
But when Huang Kaiwen deployed the five-defender formation, he knew that today's game would be difficult.
Both teams played in a relatively passive style, and both teams had long-range shooters, but the goalkeepers of both teams had different abilities in defending against long-range shots!
Hart made a weak three-pointer when he saw Kevin Huang.
The hypnotic football between the two teams made the fans yawn continuously.
This is the most authentic Italian football duel. You can get a similar feeling by watching the derby between Juventus and Torino.
The cameraman could only keep capturing the scenery from the stands.
The quality of Italian girls is indeed superior to their opponents, and they have already won in this respect.
Especially Lily and Beatrice, who had just arrived in Brazil, each held a Paul, and Camila Morrone was sitting next to them, which made many fans feel jealous.
[Lost indefinitely].
"Has Kevin Huang hooked up with another girl in Brazil?"
"I heard that she took the initiative to squat on Kevin Huang's ass for several days."
"I laughed. Kevin Huang is just a bit better looking, a bit richer, a bit better at sports, and a bit more famous."
"You didn't mention that he's in better health, and looking at his son, his genes are better too. Isn't that fucking enough?"
"Oh my god, now that you mention it, Huang Kevin has a lot of advantages. But even if he is so awesome, I have killed him in Legend. When I attacked the desert, I threw an Ice Roar from a distance, and then returned to the city and did not leave the safe zone. No matter how rich he is, he will never be able to take revenge in this life."
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Could it be that you are Kakuzu of the Akatsuki organization, throwing kunai from eight hundred miles away?"
"I guess his Ice Roar will only make that Huang Kevin lose a little blood. His equipment is really good."
"That's it. I play Legend of Mir, and Kevin Huang also plays Legend of Mir. We are all pretty much the same."
“But when he’s not playing Legend, he can play with celebrities whose photos you can only see, hahaha.”
On the field, Sterling was slow to get the ball on the right and was poked away, and Henderson followed up with a weak long shot.
This ball was not very threatening, but it still made Huang Kevin dissatisfied.
"Everyone, be careful and don't give them the chance to kick you easily!"
Huang Kaiwen shouted.
It is somewhat unreasonable that so many defensive players were in the backcourt and someone was allowed to attack the goal directly.
England's front trident is quite powerful.
Sterling, Sturridge and Welbeck, no matter how good their skills are, they can indeed run.
Before in the locker room, Kevin Huang’s request was to release Welbeck if there was really no other way.
After all, sometimes you can't defend all the players in the backcourt 2 vs 2 or other situations. At this time, you must release the weakest England striker.
In the first few years since Heibei debuted, he really has no advantages except for running.
Compared with him, Rashford looks like Maradona.
England came back with a vengeance and Henderson passed the ball directly to Rooney.
Insigne was very aggressive in defense, but the two players were not on the same level physically.
Seeing this, Marchisio hurried forward to fill the position, and Rooney passed the ball to the left.
Sterling's forward speed was very fast, and Damian was overtaken by the opponent the moment he moved forward.
Sterling still has some skills under his feet, otherwise he would not be reused by Guardiola.
Chiellini rushed forward immediately upon seeing this. Sterling wanted to dunk the ball to deceive his center of gravity, but Chiellini was not fooled at all.
Chiellini failed to deceive twice in a row, and when he found that Damian and Marchisio had also returned, he quickly took the ball to the bottom line.
Chiellini followed Sterling all the way to the bottom line.
The two men began a battle of wits and courage. Just when they were about to reach the baseline, Sterling paused, turned around and shot.
Chiellini was prepared and immediately raised his foot. As luck would have it, the ball hit Chiellini's feet and stopped.
"Beautiful, get rid of it quickly!"
Kevin Huang shouted to the field.
At this time, England's supporting players have all come up, and if they are given more opportunities, it will be easy to lose the ball.
When Chiellini turned around, Sturridge came over to press.
The Juventus defender was obviously very calm. He dribbled the ball, created an angle and passed it to Bonucci.
"Hehe, Juventus' defense has a pretty good tacit understanding."
"Yes, this is the BBC on the defensive line. The Italian national team has a very good lineup this time, with three generations of players. It is at least better than the Dutch team two years ago, which relied entirely on the Three Musketeers and Kuyt."
Bonucci was not in a hurry to get the ball, but was observing the situation on the field.
As a defender with excellent long passes, he is also a very important part of Huang Kaiwen's tactics.
After passing the ball to De Rossi, Bonucci kicked the ball towards the front court.
The ball instantly crossed the center line in front of the Italian penalty area and headed straight for the England penalty area. Immobile and Cassano both advanced into the penalty area.
The ball flew far enough to give them enough time to get offside.
Cassano, who ran faster, ran to the right post first, and the ball fell right in front of him.
Hart was standing at the near point, and Cassano twisted his body and swung the ball without stopping, and the ball went straight into the left side net.
boom--
Almost instantly, the Amazon Stadium was boiling.
This bastard Cassano never lacks passion.
The Italian fans were shouting even more crazily.
No one expected that Italy would suddenly score a goal after 20 minutes of a dull game.
"Antonio Cassano!"
"In the first match against England, Kevin trusted him and let him start. Cassano lived up to Kevin's trust. He scored the first goal in a tense situation, allowing Italy to take the initiative."
"David Moyes is complaining about Cassano, but a truly strong person won't complain. He will only use limited conditions to create unlimited possibilities. He really should join Kevin's coaching staff for further training. Even if he can't win the Champions League in a summer, at least he can easily win the Premier League title."
“Of course, after being sacked, he is no longer the Manchester United coach, but if he returns to Everton, he and Kevin might be able to win the Premier League.”
Sir Alex Ferguson was fired in April after setting a series of shameful records, and veteran Giggs led the team to complete the remaining games as a player-coach.
And Giggs has performed well in the past few games, which makes the contrast even more striking.
This was also one of the biggest mistakes in Sir Alex Ferguson's life. I guess the old sir never thought that one of his chosen compatriots would be so disappointing.
If Moyes had a better record, Manchester United would give him more time.
After scoring the goal, Cassano wanted to take off his clothes to celebrate. After all, he had been sitting in the stands for several months and needed to vent.
He immediately saw Kevin Huang glaring at him on the sidelines.
Huang Kevin gestured with his hands. He had said long ago that whoever gets a yellow card for celebrating will be a fucking substitute. After all, too many yellow cards will result in cumulative suspension.
Cassano immediately stopped and pretended to pull the hem of his clothes.
He wasn't the one pretending to take off his clothes.
Gattuso came up and said, "This kid is quite afraid of you."
"He should, otherwise he shouldn't have been selected for the national team at all considering he sat on the bench for so long."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile: "Antonio is still talented. He is one of the most talented players in Italian history."
"Yes."
Gattuso nodded in agreement.
When Cassano first made his debut, all the Milan players were amazed.
At such a young age, he can already play tricks on these big stars.
However, Cassano's development did not meet expectations.
"Why don't you use Andrea? Don't you like him?"
Gattuso asked in a low voice.
"how come?"
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile: "I have a good relationship with Pirlo, but in the coaching position, you can't think like this. We need stronger athletic ability, and the organizational ability is enough. Both he and Francisco need to use their physical energy on more important games."
"England is really not that good, and it's great that Capello can do this."
Gattuso nodded.
The current England team is in a period of transition. All the international players like Terry have retired from the national team, and Joe Hart is the only one left in the world-class defense.
This is especially true in midfield.
Rooney is the only striker who can perform well.
It would have been a crime to give England too many chances today.
I have to say that Italy's defense is still pretty good.
Damian is not fast enough and is easily eaten alive by Sterling. The remaining defenders, including Draven, do not have any major problems.
If that's the case, you can just use Candreva.
Since we can’t defend against speed-type players anyway, we might as well improve our offensive capabilities.
Juventus' BBC is good enough to clean up their mess.
After watching for a while, Huang Kevin chose to return to the coaching seat.
The tactics are not inferior and the players' individual abilities are stronger than England's. There is no point for him to stand on the sidelines. He might as well take a rest.
"Italy started defending after scoring a goal. Today, the two young players De Sciglio and Damian didn't dare to come up to assist, but their performance on the defensive end was still good."
"The main thing is that Italy doesn't need to attack. As long as they beat England, they will have laid the foundation for qualifying from the group. It doesn't matter whether they win or lose against Uruguay. As long as they don't lose, they will basically qualify."
"Yes, Kevin Huang's style is practical and he doesn't care about the number of goals. Although his playing style is flamboyant, he never takes any risks when coaching the team. Between 5:2 and 1:0, he values 1:0 more."
"This is a pragmatic attitude, because if the other team scores two, you can't guarantee five goals. Italian players are not suitable for that style of play. However, Pirlo and Cassano played well at Manchester United, but Manchester United's Italian genius Rossi was different."
Giuseppe Rossi was poached by Manchester United at a young age. The American-born Italian player is a very talented striker.
But he was clearly not suited to English football.
He had a pretty good period at Villarreal.
Huang Kaiwen had also considered Rossi before. He scored 18 goals this season.
But this Rossi has a fatal problem, he is made of glass.
If it happens before the World Cup starts, it would be fine because other players can be urgently transferred in to fill in the gaps. But if he gets injured after the war starts, then we can only consider that there is one person missing from the roster.
After much thought, Huang Kaiwen gave up on Rossi.
His ability was not enough for Kevin Huang to take such a big risk for him.
At the end of the first half, Italy entered the halftime break with a score of 1:0.
Kevin Huang went to the sidelines to welcome the players back.
"My goal was beautiful, Kevin!"
Cassano shouted excitedly.
"Not bad, keep up the good work."
Huang Kevin patted his arm and said, "With your ability, it won't be a problem to score two more goals."
"of course!"
Cassano said with confidence.
This guy knows that he is a genius, but he is just unwilling to put in the effort.
If he had half the effort of Cristiano Ronaldo, he could at least become a star player for a top club, even if he couldn't reach the level of the two superstars.
Capello looked at Kevin Huang on the sidelines and sighed.
grass.
He really didn't want to face Kevin Huang's Italian team.
England lacks the means to attack, and it is difficult for them to find effective solutions when facing Italy's style of play.
It seems that we can only strengthen our attack on set pieces in the second half.
England's current defense is not very reliable, but their heading ability is impeccable.
Gary Cahill and Jagielka both have good heading ability.
Back in the locker room, Huang Kevin said nothing and just pulled over the tactical board to start writing and drawing.
England's tactics today still have a lot of things.
After finishing writing, Huang Kaiwen threw down the pen, tapped the tactical board twice and said: "Today Rooney is on the left, Sterling seems to be in the middle, but the three of them are attacking from the right. Chiellini's performance is good and he was very timely in filling the position.
But this is not enough. We let them have fun in the first half, so we need to show them some color in the second half. I hope to see more through balls. You need to use the pass to break through the two central defenders of England, understand?"
"understand!"
Huang Kevin nodded and sat next to Totti and said, "You and Andrea get ready, you will be substituted in the second half."
Insigne also plays as an attacking midfielder in Napoli, but he is used to playing as a double attacking midfielder with Hamsik on his side.
It's a bit difficult for him to carry the team on his own, as his performance is much worse than when he played as a winger.
If we really talk about the No. 10 position of the Italian national team, Totti is the strongest right now.
The old prince's physical fitness is not that bad. I think letting him play for 30 minutes would definitely be a dimensionality reduction attack.
In the European Cup two years ago, Italy crushed England with technology and they were lucky to advance. This time, Huang Kevin was afraid that if he replaced Pirlo and Totti, England would be in tears.
Moreover, the tactical discipline of both sides is not at the same level.
Before, Huang Kevin was a little worried about the Cajun England, but after playing half the game, Huang Kevin found that England had no other options except for the three black guys running forward.
"Antonio."
Huang Kaiwen waved and shouted.
"what happened?"
Cassano sat over casually and squeezed Totti.
Totti rolled his eyes. If Huang Kevin hadn't been there, he would have given Cassano a slap on the neck.
"Play more against Baines later, he's obviously having trouble coping."
Huang Kaiwen explained.
"okay, I get it!"
Cassano nodded.
Huang Kevin also didn’t understand why Bynes, who was able to play up and down before, had regressed so much.
Is he useless after leaving his mentor Moyes?
Today, Baines's shots were really accurate. If Cahill hadn't played well to clean up his mess, Italy would definitely not have only one goal.
Shortly after the second half started, the English players' performance started to unravel.
The Premier League's heavy schedule and running-focused playing style mean that they consume more physical energy than players in other leagues.
In this game, Gerrard simply passed the ball horizontally. If Huang Kevin hadn't seen his face, he would have thought it was Carrick who came on the field.
Rooney has become England's playmaker, which is a bit funny in itself.
He frequently ran to the left to cross the ball, forcing the three black players to rush into the penalty area.
You can't deal with Chiellini just because you have a dark complexion and a dark mouth.
On the contrary, Italy's counterattack was very effective.
Bonucci and De Rossi both made accurate long passes.
If Baines finds Cassano, he will face a considerable challenge.
The two players are completely not at the same level.
In the 55th minute, Cassano received the pass from De Rossi again and went straight to the bottom line. Baines ran with him. Cassano immediately turned around with his heel and pretended to enter the penalty area.
When Baines adjusted his center of gravity, he took the ball again and went down the bottom line. Baines could not keep up at all and fell heavily on the side of the penalty area.
"Beautiful, Cassano's dribbling is really smart."
"Yes, but the next long pass was a bit problematic. Fortunately, it was headed out of the bottom line by Glen Johnson. It was a corner kick for Italy."
Kevin Huang waved his hand.
"Are you going to show up?"
Totti asked as he was warming up on the sidelines.
"Well, you and Andre go on the field. We'll follow the tactical corner kick we practiced. The English won't expect that."
Kevin Huang sent two people to the fourth official.
"Italy is preparing to make a substitution, with Totti and Pirlo coming on, two of the most famous players in the current Italian national team."
"Yes, he was a hero in the 2006 World Cup. I never thought that eight years later, the old prince would have another chance to play in the World Cup."
"Insigne and Damian were substituted, so the formation became 442. Kevin Huang is quite flexible in adjusting the formation. Totti and Pirlo both have good set-piece abilities, so let's see if they will take the penalty kicks."
"Totti walked towards the corner flag area. It seems that he will take the corner kick. Players from both sides are looking for their positions in the penalty area. Corner kicks are still quite dangerous."
As the whistle sounded, Totti pointed to the penalty area and immediately kicked the ball out.
Instead of making a long pass, he chose to kick the ball to De Sciglio who came up to receive the ball.
At this time, the English players were already panicking. They had never expected that Italy would take a tactical corner kick, so they could only rush out of the penalty area frantically.
De Sciglio turned around and kicked the ball back, but Pirlo spread his legs and cleverly let the ball slip through, and Marchisio followed up and kicked it.
boom--
The shot was powerful and penetrating, heading straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
Several England defenders affected Hart's vision, but he still rushed out at the first possible moment. Joe Hart's reaction speed was indeed fast, but the angle of the ball was too extreme. Even though he had rushed out, his hands were still several centimeters away from the ball. He could only watch the ball roll quickly into the net.
For an instant.
The substitutes and coaching staff rushed to the sidelines and celebrated wildly.
Inzaghi shouted excitedly: "We are going to win, we are going to get our first victory for the national team, Kevin, we are so great!"
Huang Kaiwen pushed Inzaghi away with some disdain and complained: "Two years ago, I achieved victory in coaching the national team when I led the Dutch team."
"That's the Dutch team, how can it be the same?"
Inzaghi said.
It was rare that Gattuso did not refute.
Huang Kaiwen also felt that today's game was almost certain.
Apart from anything else, the shooting skills of these England forwards are also very abstract.
As long as we beat England, the next tough challenge will be Uruguay.
"Capello is preparing to make a substitution."
"We should really make some adjustments now. Wilshere, the midfield genius, is Wenger's favorite. Lallana and Barkley can also provide England with more running. Capello's substitution was still very decisive, but no one expected that he would even replace three people at once."
"Let's fight hard. After all, when Totti and Pirlo come on, England's midfield will be completely at a disadvantage. At this time, we might as well give Italy a chance to suppress them and replace them with three new players."
Huang Kevin didn't expect that the Cajuns would leave no room for maneuver when replacing players.
But does Baynes really stay on the court?
Today, the full-back was beaten by Cassano.
But the midfield was also in a miserable situation. De Rossi could easily pass between Gerrard and Henderson with the ball. The Roma vice-captain performed like an attacking midfielder in front of the England midfield.
He suddenly became a top through-ball expert like Guti.
The bottom line is that Gerrard is old and Henderson hasn't figured it out yet.
"Everyone get up and warm up!"
Huang Kaiwen shouted.
The Italian players didn't say anything and went straight to the sidelines to warm up.
Instead, Capello's face suddenly turned dark.
The biggest benefit of getting everyone warmed up is to prevent the other side from noticing your tactical intentions.
He has used up all his substitution quota, and you are still hiding your tactical intentions so I can't make any substitutions. Aren't you a bit too cautious?
That's why he didn't want to meet Kevin Huang.
Huang Kaiwen is the kind of person who is very meticulous. Even when he was two goals ahead and had the victory in hand, he still paid attention to details. He discovered this when he coached Huang Kaiwen.
It's really cool to be a player under Kevin Huang.
But standing in the technical area and becoming an opponent was a complete torture for him.
He had no idea what Huang Kevin was going to do next.
Inzaghi turned around and raised his arms towards the stands, signaling the fans to shout louder.
After coaching the national team twice with Huang Kaiwen, I learned how to stir up the emotions of the fans, even though I didn’t learn anything else.
"I float and float, floating happily, floating higher than the sun and even higher, but the world slowly disappears far below..."
The song is "Flying to the Blue", also known as "Blue of the Azure", sung by Italian singer Domenico Modugno.
It was originally a song praising the white clouds in the Roman sky. Since the word "volare" sounds like "finale", which means final, many Italian teams like to sing this.
The first group match has just begun and Italian fans are already eager to win the World Cup.
Some fans shouted excitedly: "Football is back home."
Such shouts gradually resounded throughout the stadium, and even the local fans began to excitedly mock the British fans.
It can be seen that the British are not very likable.
A world was reached in which only the British were hurt.
As for the Scots and Northern Irish, they might even be laughing along when they saw this scene.
Football coming home has become a joke, even if Brazil isn't home for the English team.
Kevin Huang feels that after today’s game, the Cajuns might not be in a good situation.
The British care a lot about their reputation, and they probably wouldn't be very happy being ridiculed like this.
After Totti and Pirlo came on the pitch, the ball possession rate was still one-sided, and even if England replaced three young players, it could not change this.
"Get ready to go out there and show them some of your power."
Kevin Huang said to El Shaarawy.
El Shaarawy nodded and immediately warmed up on the sidelines.
The game reached the 80th minute and that was basically it.
What Huang Kaiwen didn't expect was that at this time Rooney made a cross from the left, and Sterling made a cross in front of the goal and scored a goal.
El Shaarawy looked at Kevin Huang and asked, "Am I still going to play, boss?"
He played ten games for the senior national team, but how can those games compare to the World Cup?
"Go ahead, pass the ball more and cooperate more with your teammates, Stephen."
Huang Kevin said.
El Shaarawy nodded vigorously.
This is his first World Cup appearance.
Two minutes later, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Huang Kevin replaced Cassano with El Shaarawy.
Cassano may have forgotten that Huang Kaiwen was the coach and staged a face-changing performance.
He had a gloomy face at first, but he immediately smiled when he saw Huang Kevin.
"Go back and take a rest. There's still a long game to come."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
Cassano returned to the bench.
Inzaghi took the opportunity to move over, and Shinra's top two leaders finally got together.
"Did I play well today?"
Cassano asked with a smug look on his face.
"I gave up my position on my own initiative. Kevin begged me to return to the national team but I didn't agree. The main purpose was to give you young people a chance."
Inzaghi said.
Cassano simply raised his middle finger, he didn't believe a word Inzaghi said.
Inzaghi didn't care at all and asked Cassano: "Why can't you do something for the country?"
"I play for the national team, isn't that also doing something?"
"I'm talking about the Holy Roman Empire. You're the vice emperor, but now you haven't even brought anyone here!" Inzaghi said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
Cassano shrugged and complained: "What can I do? I can't just ask everyone I see."
"Why not? That's what I do, and I've developed several citizens."
Inzaghi said.
"There are still such stupid people?"
Cassano said he couldn't understand it.
Inzaghi pouted at the field and said: "I almost pulled De Sciglio at the beginning, but I felt that the boy was not very smart and was afraid that he would affect the average IQ of the country, so I gave up on him."
"You did nothing wrong. He's really not that good at playing football."
Cassano agreed.
De Sciglio's support today was very limited.
A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
In the first match of the group stage, Italy narrowly won the opponent 2:1.
Huang Kaiwen walked over and shook hands with Capello and said: "Today was a wonderful game. I look forward to seeing you next time."
"forget it."
Capello smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to meet you as an opponent at all."
Huang Kevin could only laugh along.
Unexpectedly, Huang Kaiwen's coaching ability was also recognized by Capello.
"Let's go and thank you."
Huang Kaiwen greeted.
Originally, only 2 World Cup tickets were sold in Italy, which is a very small number and not even in the top ten. The tickets reserved by FIFA for Italy were not sold out.
However, after Kevin Huang announced that he would take over the Italian national team, the tickets were sold out immediately and tickets for the Italian national team's games became very popular.
At this time, we must thank the fans for their support.
Huang Kaiwen led the entire team over, but hadn't spoken yet.
The stadium immediately burst into cheers.
"Saint Kevin!"
"Saint Kevin!"
"Saint Kevin!"
England fans watched this scene dejectedly.
Sometimes reality is so cruel.
The English media had clearly been saying that Kevin Huang would coach the England national team, but unexpectedly Kevin Huang appeared in the technical area of the Brazil World Cup as their opponent.
Please recommend monthly tickets.
