Trailing 0:1 in the first half, Di Biagio made personnel adjustments at halftime.
Falling behind is not scary, but what is scary is being completely suppressed by the Chinese team from Asia in 45 minutes. The Italian midfield was unorganized and there was no cooperation in the frontcourt. They all relied on fighting alone to scratch the itch of the Chinese team.
The old gods in the stands couldn't bear it, and neither could Di Biagio.
The goal was conceded because Parolo's pass was intercepted, so you should take the blame. Di Biagio first replaced him with Pellegrini.
The 22-year-old Lorenzo Pellegrini is also selected for the national team for the first time. He is from Rome. He is an all-rounder with a balanced offensive and defensive midfield, and he can play both sides. Specifically, he is Ambrosini.
type.
Pellegrini was loaned to Sassuolo by Roma for the first two seasons. He performed very well on the right wing of the midfield, directly suppressing Zhang Xizhe's playing time.
Pellegrini was recalled by Roma this season, but Sassuolo still has veteran Missiroli and rookie Mazzitelli at this position. It is still difficult for Zhang Xizhe.
But having said that, there has been no difficulty for him in the past four years. Sassuolo is known as the "Green Barcelona" in Serie A. It has been strong since being upgraded. It also reached the UEFA Cup last season. There is no mediocre player in the team. So it is difficult.
After returning to Nanjing, Zhang Xizhe's goal increase is still obvious.
Four years have passed. Among the main lineup of the Chinese team in the last World Cup, apart from Zhuo Yang, only the native domestic players Sanzhang Yiyan, who studied abroad, can still guarantee a position on the field. This is very telling.
Di Biagio also replaced Florenzi with Davide Zappacosta, who had just transferred from Turin to Chelsea for 25 million in the winter window. In the first half, Chiesa and Florenzi
On the side, Zhuo Yang suppressed him so much that he could hardly help Italy's counterattack.
Zappacosta's nickname is 'zap', so it makes sense for him to be the substitute for 'azp' Azpilicueta.
For the Chinese team, Sforza did not make any substitutions for the time being, but called all the players into the locker room to listen to his chanting. Coupled with the Hope Chunlei observation group, the Rome locker room at the Stadio Olimpico was packed like a bathhouse.
After Brother Zha finished speaking, Zhuo Yang added a few words as usual.
"Azhe, old man...and Maro, the three of you should pay attention to your tightness and don't call their No. 2...what?"
"De Sciglio." Zhang Xizhe said quickly.
"Yes, don't press this guy too hard, give him some space to pull him out. Their No. 15 central defender... what's his name?"
"Rugani." Zhang Xizhe belongs to the Chinese team's internal Serie A encyclopedia.
"Yes, that's him. This guy seems to be unfamiliar with protecting the left rib. What is No. 2... called?"
"De Sciglio."
"Yes, pull him out and let's see what happens to his left rib."
Zhuoyang stood up and clapped his hands vigorously.
"Brothers, I am not afraid of spreading this word at all. In the current Italian national team, I only care about three and a half players, Meng Er, Chiellini, Buffon, and the other half is Verratti."
"Only half of them were on the court today, and they are not at all in shape. Italy like this will not fight in vain. Brothers, work harder in the second half and let my brother Meng Er see what kind of thing Italy is without him."
Strange shouts and whistles suddenly erupted in the locker room, and morale was high.
Tiedan raised his voice and asked: "Brother, how many of our team do you like?"
Although they knew it was a joke, the locker room quickly became quiet and listened to the captain's answer.
"They must all be the same! One by one, let me tell you, if it weren't for us, I wouldn't be able to see China Touched this year."
"Hahaha……"
When halftime came, the Chinese team danced out of the tunnel.
You Deshui, a native of Hangzhou, and Wu Lei, a Shanghainese, were arguing about which local delicacy was the most offensive in terms of taste: West Lake vinegar fish or bean paste. They accidentally threw their hands on Immobile's head and quickly said, "Slut" to him.
Rui'.
Immobile smiled and nodded, not minding it at all.
The 28-year-old Ciro Immobile is also known as "Cristiano Ronaldo. I don't move" because "immobile" means "stationary". He is a very controversial center.
Immobile came from the youth training of Juventus, but he was promoted from Serie B in his early years, and finally became popular in Turin. He is the kind of center that gives people a very 'professional' feel, and every move is completely in line with the textbook.
The basic skills are very solid, but there are some surprises.
Immobile's type is very similar to 'Peach' Gilardino, he is also a pie-eating center.
Precisely because of his mediocre performance, Immobile's performance in Serie A was at the level of the European Golden Boot. But once he left Serie A, he was just the Antarctic Golden Boot.
In 2014, Lewandowski defected to Bayern, and Uncle Zha bought Immobile from Turin to replace him. However, he only scored 3 goals in the Bundesliga after a year. The previous season he was the Serie A Golden Boot.
Therefore, Uncle Zha had to admit that he had made a mistake, so he quickly put Meiyangyang in charge and rented Immobile to Sevilla to stop the loss - the annual salary of 3.8 million was very high in the Hornets.
Half a season later, Immobile was returned by Sevilla and had to rent him back to Turin. In 2016, he was sold to Lazio.
In the past two seasons, Immobile, Dzeko of Roma, and Higuain of Juventus have been the three major centers in Serie A. He is also an ironclad figure for the Italian national team.
But today's game was very depressing because of Mobile's performance. Italy fell into the dilemma of fighting alone. He was good at eating cakes and could hardly get the ball from his teammates, so he could only keep running around looking for opportunities on his own.
In the first half, Italy shot three times, one each from Parolo, Insigne and Immobile, but they all failed to test the Chinese goalkeeper Yan Junlin because they were reluctant to take shots.
However, as soon as the second half started, Immobile got a great opportunity.
When Italy kicked off, Immobile knocked behind him, then knocked back and pushed forward layer by layer. The football came to Verratti's feet.
I have seen wingers cutting inside, and it is quite rare for a full midfielder to cut inside in midfield.
Verratti suddenly dribbled the ball diagonally into the middle of the line. He deftly passed the careless Li Ke due to poor rhythm, and then passed the ball diagonally from an angle to Immobile, who was running across the ribs.
Italy is a group of lone wolves, and Verratti is the only chef who can feed them today.
Immobile started a textbook performance.
He turned sideways and stopped the ball with the arch of his right foot, then moved his left foot to get the right distance. He also moved Tiedan and Xiao Jiang out of the way, and the Chinese team's penalty area suddenly became clear.
The next step with his right foot is to hit the goal. Full force and standard movements, breathing, arm swing, eyes, including the details of pursed lips, all show that Immobile has very standardized center forward skills.
Look at Yan Junlin.
Yan Junlin is called "Yan Heya" by fans, which is just a joke. In fact, he and De Gea have different styles and look completely opposite. Xiao Yan is obviously much more handsome.
If you want to talk about who in the Chinese team is most like Immobile, it can only be Xiao Yan.
For four years in Madiburg, Xiao Yan had the same difficulty as Azhe, with his head being pinned down by Bernd Leno. Fortunately, Leno suffered many injuries, and the cup was also Xiao Yan's territory, so he barely lacked games.
Kick.
Under Ilgner's careful training, Xiao Yan has naturally improved his skills, but he has no outstanding points and no obvious weaknesses.
Reaction, position selection, attack, goal line, hands and feet, height and ground, if the full score is 100, Xiao Yan will be between 80 and 85 in each item, unbiased.
He is a textbook goalkeeper with solid basic skills and a good standard.
Xiao Yan rarely makes good saves, but he also rarely makes mistakes. He will never save a goal that must be scored, and he will not let go of a goal that is not improved.
Xiao Yan is not like the crazy knife king Dalei. When Dalei goes crazy, he is a god save all the way. What about Bvonne Neuer, that one called Pantyhose Qian Duoduo, they are all scum, you like him so much that you want to marry your daughter to him.
But once he commits a crime, Dalei might do something inexplicable, which will make you want to kill him. Half sea water and half fire, Dalei is also a person.
Xiao Yan doesn't do these things. He remains stable and mediocre as always, like the loyal old yellow dog at home.
One step at a time, like a devil's pace. Xiao Yan moved sideways according to the goalkeeper's rules, and at the same time he stooped and bowed.
Kick!
Eject yourself, raise your head, stretch your arms, and spread your palms like a moon.
If you freeze at this moment and take a ruler to measure the distance between the tips of Xiao Yan's two thumbs, it will definitely be exactly 20 centimeters. If the error exceeds one millimeter, he will be shot.
'Pah! Tum!'
Xiao Yan firmly caught Immobile's powerful shot and immediately hit the ground.
In the blink of an eye from catching the ball to landing, he not only did not let go, but also completed the standard process of retracting his palms, bending his forearms inward, and hooking his chin inward, and firmly stuck the football in front of his chest.
Immobile raised his hand helplessly, but Xiao Yan quickly jumped up from the ground according to the principles that goalkeepers should follow when catching the ball and counterattacking.
Chapter completed!
