Chapter 692: The Fall of Black Hawk (Subscription Request)
The whole world was looking forward to a decisive battle, but no one expected that the game would turn out to be so one-sided.
Four minutes, just four minutes!
The Italian team successfully scored two goals, which basically secured the victory.
The direction of this game shocked the whole world.
Even the players on the field did not expect goals to come one after another. After they realized the goals had been scored, they started celebrating wildly.
Italy's jersey is sea blue and Argentina's jersey is sky blue.
It is still unknown how deep the sea is, but it is clear how high the sky is.
Although the game has just started, this situation has made many people not optimistic that Argentina can make it to the finals.
Alejandro Sabella stood on the sidelines with a frown on his face.
Although the Argentine Football Association has announced that he will leave the position of Argentina head coach after the World Cup, the veteran coach is still working hard.
He loves Argentine football very much.
Later, when Maradona died, he lost consciousness and was admitted to the ICU due to the severe shock.
But he couldn't find where he should adjust.
Although Argentina's players are valuable, they are all concentrated on the offensive line.
If you want to replace players like Mascherano, then the only ones you can replace are players of Gago's level.
When Gago first joined Real Madrid, he had a promising future, but his development over the years has put him on a completely different level from Mascherano.
"Be careful and don't lose the ball again."
After standing on the sidelines for dozens of seconds, Sabella finally uttered these words.
Although the team is more harmonious without Tevez, there are really few players who can be used at critical moments.
Now he can only hope for better performance from the players on the field.
Argentina was very anxious after the restart. The speed of their attack had increased and they were not as disciplined as before.
From focusing on the team as a whole to relying on the individual abilities of the stars, the team has fallen far behind in tactics.
Although Messi is very strong in breakthroughs, he can't break through the entire Italian team again and again.
What's more, after taking the lead, the Italian team adopted a completely defensive posture, and even Cassano retreated significantly to serve as the team's first line of defense.
With too many players in the first half, Argentina had no choice but to continue pressing forward, trying to find a balance in numbers.
The scene was that Argentina was always moving around the center circle, unable to find any chance to go further, and kept passing the ball back and forth.
The Italian players held their defensive positions and gave the Argentine players no chance to break through.
The scene became increasingly depressing.
The director could only focus the camera on the stands.
Lily and Camilla were whispering with their mouths covered.
"You're Argentine, but you're cheering for Italy. They won't blame you, right?" Lily said worriedly.
"I'm an American, and besides, some players should be blamed for the loss."
Camila Moreau said with a smile.
Although she was born in Argentina, she grew up in the United States, which is somewhat similar to Lily.
Camilla Morrone asked: "Didn't you cheer for Italy in the previous match between Italy and England?"
“I’m an American too!”
Lily said with a smile.
The Argentine players' patience was running low and they began to try long shots.
Once again, Lavezzi failed to dribble past the opponent on the left and tried to pass the ball to the middle, but was blocked by Marchisio's foot.
Marchisio took the ball and rushed forward by himself, and the Italian formation began to press forward as a whole.
Fight back!
This is a three-dimensional attack, not just one area or one plane. Italy's entire formation is moving.
Old Prince Totti pressed forward very quickly because he was standing in a relatively high position.
De Rossi is faster and chooses to go directly to the bottom.
Marchisio passed the ball directly to Cassano, and in front of Cassano was Mascherano.
The former rebellious boy of Roma raised his head and instantly passed the ball to Totti, who received the ball with his back to the goal and understood what he meant and completed a wall pass with Cassano.
Cassano received the ball in the middle and quickly rushed towards the penalty area. While dribbling the ball, he suddenly slowed down and changed his rhythm, leaving Mascherano empty-handed.
At this time, there was only a defender in the penalty area in front of him, but Cassano did not choose to rush into the penalty area. Instead, he stood in front of the penalty area and kicked the ball directly.
boom--
The ball was kicked and turned into a meteor heading straight for the Argentine goal. Romero, who was standing in the front position, stretched out his arms and leaned back, but he could only watch the ball go into the goal from his hands.
boom--
"Antonio!"
"Antonio!"
"Antonio!"
The once rebellious boy really became a national hero.
After being put on ice by Moyes for half a year, Cassano has had a complete outbreak.
Scoring goals in consecutive games at the World Cup.
"Hey, Cassano, ah Cassano, this talent is really not exaggerated. The best players in the Italian team should be him and Totti. Totti may not be able to compare with him in some aspects."
"Yes, I was very surprised when he first made his debut. At that time, Coach Zhang was still commentating on Serie A. His development later was not very good, but he still played well in Manchester United."
"As a player over 30, Cassano's performance is indeed surprising, and his condition is also very good. Cassano can be said to have responded to the outside world's doubts about him with practical actions."
[Lost indefinitely].
"Looking at the situation today, Argentina can't be stopped from losing three goals."
"I never thought Italy could beat other teams. Damn, Argentina is really disappointing."
"We lost the ball at the start of the game, and if we don't attack, we will lose the game."
"They attacked and conceded more goals. Argentina has no chance now. How can a team be reversed when leading by three goals?"
"The Argentine players had better think about who is responsible now, after all, they often quarrel among themselves."
"Haha, it goes without saying that it must be Higuain who is to blame. Both Real Madrid forwards were good at this."
"In fact, Argentina played well. Their performance in this tournament was surprising, but they were immediately beaten back to square one by Italy. What's more frightening is that there was still a long time left in the game, and Italy, who were leading by a large margin, had completely entered their favorite rhythm."
"The next final will be interesting, the Axis Civil War."
"I feel that Italy and Germany are at about the same level. Their defenses are excellent and their midfields are also very good. Germany has veteran Klose and Italy also has Totti."
"Germany is still stronger. Italy's main players are all over 30 years old and may have some problems with their physical fitness. Germany's young players are very talented."
At this time, no one thought Argentina still had a chance.
Some Argentine fans in the stands even chose to leave early, not wanting to see their national team in even more disgrace.
Argentina had more and more long-range shots, and Biglia would block them.
Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, Huang Kaiwen shouted to the field: "Don't keep your distance all the time. Although it will make the defense more proactive and keep the pressure on them, it will also give them the opportunity to shoot from long distance. Listen, don't give them too many opportunities to shoot!"
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
What if Argentina scores a goal by chance and then equalizes the score?
Huang Kaiwen doesn't want the Italian team to play overtime again. If there is another overtime, the physical condition of these players will become even worse.
It would be best to lock in the victory as soon as possible and replace a few main players.
Watching Totti play football, Huang Kevin was a little worried about him.
The old prince's playing style has always been a combination of physicality and technique, which is very similar to Zidane.
However, using the body will consume more physical energy.
In Serie A, everyone knows how to play health-preserving football, so why do they become teenagers again when they come to the national team?
When there is a chance, I will replace Totti first.
What's even more fucking outrageous is that these bastards have been attacking on the left wing, Argentina must be weaker on Rojo's side.
Zabaleta has always performed well in Manchester City over the years and has excellent mental attributes. In 2008, when the Argentine national youth team won the Olympic championship, he was the captain of the team.
Marchisio tried to dribble past the defense but failed, so he immediately passed the ball back to Totti, who was surrounded by Argentine defenders.
But the old prince just rubbed his feet and directly lifted the ball into the penalty area. Cassano rushed into the penalty area and took the opportunity to volley directly from the left side. The next second the ball appeared in the net.
4: 0!
"Goal!!!!"
"Antonio Cassano scored a hat trick and Kevin's national team made us feel real passion. Totti, who had retired from the national team seven years ago, brought us his talent again and we saw a championship team."
"Although there is still some time left in the first half, I want to announce in advance that Argentina has no chance of reaching the final. They should make substitutions as soon as possible to prepare for the third and fourth place match against Brazil."
"El Shaarawy, Giovinco, Totti...these players called up by Kevin to the national team have all performed quite well. After watching so many games, I have reason to believe that these guys, led by Kevin, will return to the Apennines with the World Cup!"
"Vittorio Pozzo led Italy to win the World Cup and Olympic titles in four consecutive years, but if Kevin is in charge, we can expect more!"
The old partners Cassano and Totti are 70 years old in total, but the connection between the two is still as charming, full of talent and imagination.
Even Huang Kevin couldn't help but applaud.
Tassotti came over and said, "Who are we going to change later, Kevin?"
He knows Huang Kaiwen very well, and Huang Kaiwen's substitutions are very decisive.
Huang Kaiwen glanced back and said, "Let Thiago warm up, and change him directly to Francisco without waiting for the halftime."
Totti was still useful in the final, but now the outcome is decided, Kevin Huang is not going to let Totti continue playing.
A few minutes later, the fourth official raised the substitution card.
When Totti heard the reminder from his teammates, he was stunned for a moment and looked towards the sidelines. When he found that it was indeed his substitution, he walked towards the sidelines.
At this time, the stadium was filled with warm applause. With one goal and two assists, the old prince delivered a perfect report card in the semi-finals.
Totti and Thiago Motta high-fived before leaving the field.
"Have a good rest, there is still the final."
Kevin Huang said with a smile, putting his arm around Totti's shoulders.
"Well, I will prepare well."
Totti nodded.
The match against Germany is the real big battle.
No matter in terms of technical and tactical level or player strength, the German team is the best and most balanced. Apart from some problems on the front line, it is difficult to find other problems with the German team.
The first half was approaching halftime and the Argentine players were still looking for scoring opportunities.
Enzo Perez took the ball on the right and rushed forward madly, with Zabaleta following behind him to support him.
Motta, who had just come on the field, rushed forward without thinking.
Perez stepped on the ball with his left foot and tried to pass the ball directly, but De Rossi stretched his foot from the wing and allowed him to pass the ball directly.
At this time, the injury time was almost over. De Rossi quickly passed the ball to his teammate. Pirlo received the ball, glanced at the Argentina goal, swung his arm and kicked.
"Wow, Pirlo's long shot from the backcourt went straight into the goal."
"The accuracy of this kick was very good. Although Romero saved the ball, it was still a corner kick for Italy. The referee was already looking at the watch. This was the last offensive opportunity in the first half. The Italian players swarmed towards the Argentine half. Hey, they were not satisfied with a 4:0 lead."
"Pirlo took a corner kick, there was a melee in the penalty area, a player fell to the ground, the referee didn't blow the whistle, and there was a supplementary shot... and another supplementary shot, Chiellini!!! Chiellini changed the score to 5:0, it was crazy, too crazy. At the end of the first half, the Italian team changed the score again. Chiellini successfully scored his first World Cup goal in the melee in front of the goal. He missed the 2006 World Cup championship, but this time he can make up for his regret."
"The half-time whistle blew, but Argentina didn't have many chances. What they should be thinking about now is how to explain this defeat to the fans. Old coach Sabella has already decided to leave after the World Cup. Originally, it should be a farewell to the meritorious player. Should he be held responsible at this time?"
The Corinthians Stadium turned into a sea of joy.
Brazilians show their enthusiasm unbridled.
Seeing their arch-rivals in such a miserable state at the first half gave them great comfort.
In the home locker room, the Italian players were all very relaxed and replenishing their energy and water. Many players even took off their shoes to relieve their fatigue.
Inzaghi curled his lips and said: "I didn't realize the team's locker room stinks so much."
"No matter how bad it stinks, it won't stink as bad as after you poop."
Gattuso complained.
Every time Inzaghi used the toilet, no one dared to stay in the locker room.
Huang Kevin did not continue to put pressure on the players.
When he returned to the locker room, he smiled and said, "You played a great game. Yes, the game is almost over. You can relax a little in the second half, but don't let them score 5 goals. I will use the last two substitutions later. We have to prepare for the final."
"Long live!"
Many players were cheering.
I didn’t feel anything on the pitch, but when I calmed down in the locker room, I realized they were almost in the final.
From the goal of reaching the quarterfinals to the World Cup final, such a span is simply unimaginable.
The one who brought everything was the 32-year-old young coach, a player who still has terrifying dominance in Serie A.
After becoming the youngest European Cup coach in history, he is also aiming to become the youngest World Cup champion coach in football history.
Even though we are not opponents now, we are family.
These Serie A players also lamented how terrifying Huang Kevin was.
Not only did he dominate the Ballon d'Or, but he also became a champion coach before his form declined. Whether it is Huang Kevin's achievements on the court or in the technical area, it is enough for others to catch up for a lifetime.
Even if Kevin Huang retires at the age of 35, he will definitely be the number one in football history.
Time was almost up, Huang Kaiwen reminded: "I asked you to relax and protect yourself from getting hurt, but don't really give Argentina too many chances, otherwise we will become the biggest joke in football history."
The three-goal lead was reversed, and we couldn't get over it.
So what if a five-goal lead was reversed?
I’m afraid not everyone will have to go to the electric chair!
Huang Kevin smiled and waved his hand, asking the players to go out and play.
At the beginning of the second half, Argentina replaced Higuain with Aguero and Palacio replaced Enzo Perez, using up two substitutions in one go.
"Argentina is going to fight hard. I can understand replacing Higuain, but Enzo Perez performed quite well in the first half."
"Yes, maybe they want to try other combinations, after all, they didn't score in the first half."
"I think it might be better to let Demichelis make some mistakes? Demichelis has been too steady in this World Cup, but the team won all the times he made mistakes before, so today hehe?"
Although Demichelis's Law is a joke, it is accurate most of the time.
To be more precise, it would be more effective if he didn't meet Huang Kevin. After all, when he was in Bayern before, he performed the Demichelis turn, and the embarrassing scene was mentioned again and again, but he made a mistake and failed to help Bayern win the game.
In addition, every time he made a mistake, the team was able to launch a desperate counterattack.
After watching on the sidelines for a while, Huang Kaiwen chose to sit back in the coaching seat.
If he hadn't brought his bag, he would have wanted to play games for a while.
After Aguero and Palacio came on, Argentina's offensive threat became less threatening, and even with half an hour left in the game, Kevin Huang knew that Argentina was far away.
It can even be said that this defeat will affect their next third and fourth place finals.
"I heard that they are planning to send the Cavour to pick us up," Gattuso said.
Huang Kevin rolled his eyes and complained, "Don't listen to any more gossip. The new season is about to start when we return on the aircraft carrier. Why don't you just let us swim back?"
However, the country of Italy is indeed quite excited about this World Cup.
They never expected the Italian team to go this far.
While talking on the phone with the eldest lady, Huang Kevin heard that the Milan City Hall had found someone to choose a place in front of the Milan Cathedral to erect a statue for him.
While he was chatting with Gattuso, Marchisio launched an attack on the left.
Marchisio dribbled the ball to the top corner of the penalty area, saw Candreva coming forward to ask for the ball, and immediately made a long pass to the right.
The ball fell directly to the edge of the penalty area on the right.
Candreva raised his right foot and blocked the ball to the left, leaving Rojo empty-handed. He then shot with his left foot, and the ball drew a strange arc and went into the net on the left side.
6:0, a world wave!
Huang Kaiwen immediately rushed to the sidelines and shouted, "Beautiful, this ball is really beautiful, Antonio!"
Candreva was also called Antonio, which is also a very common name.
Both Antonios performed very well today, and Candreva's defensive performance as a full-back was also remarkable.
The camera turned to the stands.
The Argentine fans who were still in the stadium were already covering their mouths and crying.
No one expected that the national team that had given them many surprises before would collapse completely.
This game made them realize that there is only a fine line between fairy tale and nightmare.
This is already the most painful defeat in Argentina's history, breaking the shameful record of losing 1958:1 to Czechoslovakia in the 6 World Cup.
When they were still thinking about replicating the original 12:8 basketball score with the German team and bringing the World Cup back to the Pampas.
The nightmare has quietly arrived.
This was the worst defeat in the history of the Argentine national team.
Looking at the cheering fans and the wildly celebrating Italian players, every Argentine player had a look of confusion on their faces.
I have absolutely no idea what happened today.
It all happened so suddenly and so quickly.
Even a little unreal.
He was the favorite to win the championship the day before, and was nailed to the pillar of shame the next day.
Such a huge contrast made even a determined person like Zabaleta bow his head.
"champion!"
"champion!"
"champion!"
The fans in the stands kept cheering.
"Hehe, Italian fans can be said to be the happiest people right now."
"It can't be said that Brazilian fans are happier than them. There are Italian fans, Brazilian fans and Argentine fans here today. It can only be said that most fans are happy."
"Yes, but this result is very cruel for Argentine fans, and there is still some time left in the game. Huang Kaiwen made another substitution. He shouted on the sidelines, probably asking the players to play more conservatively. The result of this game is already determined, and there is no need to fight anymore."
"Yes, now Italy only needs to beat Germany to reach the top of the world again after eight years."
"The Italian players were already standing on the sidelines waiting for the final whistle. Insigne, who had just come on, was tripped. Free kick. Mascherano received a yellow card for protesting."
"This is a good free kick opportunity. Totti is off the field, so Pirlo should take the penalty."
Pirlo was in the penalty area, and he couldn't waste the free opportunity.
As the whistle sounded, Pirlo took a run-up and kicked the ball.
boom--
Even though the distance was far, Huang Kevin heard the sound of the shot.
Pirlo unexpectedly chose to volley the ball directly into the gap between the players. This was totally not his style. He probably wanted to catch the opponent off guard.
What surprised Huang Kaiwen even more was that Romero actually saved Pirlo's shot.
Unfortunately, Barzagli's follow-up shot was very quick and changed the score again.
Even though Romero put in a brilliant performance, he still couldn't prevent Argentina from losing the ball again.
7: 0!
This is a very exaggerated score.
Italian fans in the stands jumped and sang to celebrate reaching the World Cup final again.
Really crazy!
No one expected that a evenly matched game would turn out like this.
Today's Italian team not only demonstrated extremely high tactical qualities, but also had an incredibly high shooting efficiency. Of just 21 shots, 15 hit the goal frame and they scored 7 goals.
What's even more outrageous is that these 7 goals were scored by five players. Except for Cassano who performed a hat trick, each player scored no more than one goal.
The firepower is so evenly distributed, it can only be said that Italy was in very good shape today.
Such a game has made fans start looking forward to the team's performance in the final.
"Come on, everyone!"
Zabaleta shouted.
Even without the captain's armband, he was the first one to muster up the courage.
Zabaleta waved and shouted: "Many fans left because they were disappointed, but even so, there are fans who choose to stay in the stadium to support us. At this time, we must work hard until the last minute, even if it means scoring a goal."
Demichelis and Romero followed suit.
There was no explanation for this rout.
But at least they scored a face-saving goal, which can give some comfort to the fans.
Argentina, which had regrouped, showed better form than before. Messi passed the ball to his teammates several times and got the ball to the frontcourt. At this time, he suddenly made a sideways kick.
Lavezzi followed and immediately took a long shot.
De Rossi jumped sideways almost instantly and successfully blocked the shot.
The ball still had momentum and after bouncing high it flew into the penalty area.
Aguero and Paletta, who came on as a substitute, rushed to the landing point almost at the same time. Just as Paletta jumped, Aguero fell in the Italian penalty area.
"Hey, what's going on? Aguero fell to the ground. Let's see what the referee says?"
"The Italian players were a little excited. Even though they were leading by a large margin, the game was about to end and they didn't want their opponents to score a goal."
"The referee pointed to the penalty spot. We saw through the replay that Paletta did move a little this time, but it always happens when he jumps. We can only say that Aguero's fall was a bit exaggerated. However, the referee probably thought it didn't matter whether he gave it or not, so he didn't consider it and at least gave Argentina a chance."
"Yes, after all, 7:0 is too tragic. Let Argentina score one goal, otherwise the players will have no explanation... Hey, there seemed to be a dispute between the Argentine players when they were taking the penalty kick. It seems that no one wants to take this penalty kick."
"Biglia stood at the penalty spot, and we can see from here that no one really wants to play."
"The main thing is that I'm under a lot of pressure right now. If I miss the penalty, the consequences will be even more serious."
The referee is already urging.
Argentina wasted a lot of time selecting someone.
He was ready to blow the whistle after this penalty.
Buffon looked at Biglia in front of him and recalled his past self.
Born into a sports family, his parents are both shot put athletes, his mother has won three championships, his sister is a volleyball player, and his grandfather's brother is the legendary goalkeeper Lorenzo Buffon.
When he first started playing football, he liked to take free kicks the most, and his position was naturally not goalkeeper.
It wasn't until the summer in Italy that 12-year-old Buffon watched a game.
In the opening match, the defending champion played against Cameroon. The 34-year-old Cameroon goalkeeper Nkono made a high save in front of the goal, helping the team beat the powerful Argentina 1:0.
Since then, Buffon has changed positions.
Even after changing positions, his career was not smooth sailing, and he even performed quite poorly.
During that time, he suffered a lot before he could represent Parma against the defending champions AC Milan at the age of 17 to 18.
In that great debut, he shut out superstars like Boban and Baggio, which made headlines immediately.
Facing the same national team as his idol today, Buffon does not intend to give Argentina any chance.
beep—
Biglia only kicked out with his right foot during his run-up.
Right!
Buffon made a judgment in an instant, and his body reacted. He dived to the ground at an extremely fast speed, watching the ball hit his arm and go out of the baseline. Buffon stood up and raised his arms and cheered.
Defended!
He kept Argentina scoreless.
beep,
beep,
beep—
When the referee blew the whistle, the Argentine players seemed to have their spines pulled out, and they collapsed to the ground and cried silently.
