Chapter 1253 Serie A All-Stars (6)
PS1: This is today's update, a little late. I hope that all book friends don't care too much about the update time. I'll guarantee that I won't stop updating...
PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
While Corina announced that the goal was valid, deafening cheers burst out in the stands at the Olympic Stadium!
At this moment, whether it is the fans of the World All-Star team or the supporters of the Italian All-Star team, they are giving the warmest applause and heartfelt applause for Barty's goal!
You should know that for Batistuta, who is already 34 years old and has a serious decline in form, he has been playing on the stadium in a handful of days. Therefore, such a Batistuta goal is destined to be less and less in the future. Once Batistuta chooses to retire in the near future, if fans want to see Batistuta again, they can only relive their old dreams from videotapes or online videos.
This is not an exaggeration. After all, since the start of this season, the Argentine God of War has played for Inter Milan in total, but the number of goals is a pitiful zero egg. In terms of function, it is not as good as the two young men, Martins and Caron, let alone compete with Crespo for the main position.
So, no matter how you look at it, Batistuta's career has entered the countdown stage.
It is precisely because of this that many fans who missed this shot for various reasons feel regretful at this moment. Although they can still replay the goal through slow motion or go home to download game videos after the game, it is definitely a huge regret for these fans not to witness the entire goal process.
"What a beautiful goal." At this time, Robert Baggio also came up and sent his congratulations to the former teammate and old friend. "Looking at the state you showed in today's game, I think Gabriel, you can consider playing for a few more seasons, and you don't have to retire in such a hurry."
Since he worked with Bati when playing football in Fiorentina and Inter Milan, and the two were very compatible in character, the personal relationship between Bagi and Bati is naturally quite good. Therefore, for some decisions about Bati that have not been announced to the public, such as the fact that he plans to announce his retirement this year or next summer, Robert Bagi is one of the insiders.
"Haha, Robert, this is not a place to talk. Let's talk after the game." Batistuta did not respond immediately to Baggio's words, but just smiled and skipped the topic. After all, the Argentine God of War was quite clear about his current physical condition and condition. He knew clearly that he could no longer adapt to the intensity and rhythm of the Serie A game, and it was almost impossible to perform like the same as before.
In this case, then Bati has only two ways to go. One is to leave Italy to play football at a low level, such as Qatar or the United States, where not only is the football level not high, but there is also a high salary to get, which is very suitable for some veterans to earn a pension before retirement; the other is to announce their retirement directly, so as to avoid being complained by fans because they cannot play their due role in the state.
After all, most fans are very forgetful in this regard. If they find that a player is paid a high salary but is not very useful, the player will definitely be criticized very severely, no matter how brilliant he was or how much he contributed to the team.
Regarding this, you can take a look at the treatment Maldini received in his last game before retirement, as well as the attitudes of Manchester United fans whenever they were beaten by their opponents in the later stages of their careers.
Now let's turn our attention back to the game. After Barty used his iconic "Batty goal" to help the World All-Stars equalize the score, Capello, who realized that he could no longer defend so passively, took the initiative to change the lineup and replaced Tomasi with Casano.
Capello's tactical intentions were clear at a glance when he replaced a defensive midfielder with a No. 9 and a Half-Middle.
Capello knew very well that although Vieri and Inzagi's pair had strong abilities and technical characteristics, they were quite complementary, but they did not play much role in the counterattack just now. Because Vieri is no longer the super center who can fight the entire defense line alone to complete the counterattack, Inzagi's dribbling skills are just a scumbag. Although Baggio is skilled and conscious, he does not have enough speed and physical conditions. Therefore, if he wants to exert their power, he must get a player who can break through, pass, and score points. Otherwise, whether it is counterattack or positional attack, Vieri and the others will find it difficult to get enough offensive space.
In fact, according to Capello's idea, Casano should not have replaced Thomassi, but Robert Baggio, who is also No. 9 and a half. This will not only liberate Pirlo's organizational ability, but also strengthen the team's attack power in the frontcourt without weakening the defense. It can be said that it is a good thing to win multiple goals in one fell swoop.
However, Capello could not do this in this game. Because he knew in his heart that Baggio was the protagonist of today's All-Star Game and could never be replaced until the final stage of the game, so he could not remove Baggio on the grounds of winning. After all, how could he replace the protagonist in half of the game?
So, when he couldn't change his chin, Thomassi became this unlucky guy and had to say goodbye in advance
However, Tomasi is not the most unlucky Italian All-Star team. The one who is even more tragic than him is Prince Toti. Since the team has two No. 9 and a half in the frontcourt, Capello naturally cannot let the Roman prince with similar functions play again.
Capello's substitution adjustment effect was quite significant. In the last minute before the end of the first half, Casano, who pulled to the left of the court, received a long pass from Pirlo's midfielder and broke through the defense of Cafu and Samuel in succession. After completely disrupting the defense of the All-Stars in the World, the pass back to the front of the penalty area. Robert Baggio, who followed in the middle, broke through Dida's ten fingers with a curve ball without anyone defending! Two to one!
From this concealment, we can see that Zeman does not attach importance to the team's defense. Peron has never been a qualified midfielder, and it is common for him to not keep a close eye on the man and not make up for it in time. Although Nedved and Barack can attack and defend well, in Zeman's tactical system, they have undertaken quite heavy tasks on the offensive end, so they naturally invest much less energy in defense.
This is why when Baggio received a pass from Casano at the top of the penalty area, there was almost no one around him to defend - Perron had no awareness at all, Nedved and Barack did not run back in the opposite half!
Chapter completed!
