Chapter 262 Difficult, Difficult, Difficult

Wang Po was nervous. Although he was very active in warming up, to be honest, until he stood in the player's tunnel, waiting to go on stage, his muscles were stiff, his breathing was rapid, and he could only hear his own heartbeat.

"Hey, kid, we meet again."

Chiellini walked over with a smile.

Wang Po smiled and nodded.

"I don't know if you have the confidence to challenge the two of us this time." Bonucci said stiffly on the side.

Wang Po grinned and said, "I have confidence."

"Then I wish you good luck."

Chiellini also smiled back.

The other players of the national football team watched Wang Po chatting and laughing with the world's big players, and their eyes revealed envy.

The domestic environment has long made them lose the courage to study abroad. They are doing things behind closed doors and are destined to be eliminated by the times.

At this time, the head coach of the national football team, Silver Fox, also came out of the locker room and hugged and greeted every member of the Italian national team.

In Italy, the old coach Silver Fox is still very majestic and has a high status in the arena.

Of course, friendship is friendship, friendship is friendship, and when it comes to the field, everyone has to fight for themselves, and they still have to be merciless.

Here we are, on stage.

Wang Po stood at the front of the team and walked into the St. Petersburg Stadium. This is definitely the home court of the national football team.

In the stands, the national flag was flying, and 70% of the fans were wearing national football jerseys. When the national football players entered the field, there was a warm applause.

"Raise the national flag and play the national anthem."

When the familiar melody sounded in his ears, Wang Po looked at the rising national flag and sang the national anthem. The emotions in his body surged. He thought of the North Korean player Zheng Da Shi who burst into tears in the World Cup.

The sense of national honor was full at this time, and the pride was beyond words.

Everyone held their breath, and the focus was on the ball in the center circle.

"Beep"

The referee blew the whistle, and the first game of the national football team returning to the World Cup finals officially began.

The Italian team, which is known for its "defense", played controlled football, which is a style of football they are not good at, but after all, their strength is much higher than that of the Chinese national team.

Sometimes, there is no need for cooperation at all. Just awareness, body, these basic things of football are enough to destroy the defense of the Chinese national team. Against these European teams, the Chinese national team players can only match two and a half people, one Wang Po, one old captain Zheng Zhi, and the other half is the forward Wu Lei.

The Chinese national team can't keep up with the rhythm at all.

Therefore, the 532 formation arranged by the Silver Fox was severely pressed in the own half, without any flexibility. Even if Wang Po can pick up the ball with his own ability, but looking up, the front court is empty. Where are the two forwards? It turned out to be behind him.

Facing the Italians' double-team defense and death entanglement, Wang Po's physical strength was consumed very quickly.

After 27 minutes in the first half, Wang Po had already started to breathe heavily. Looking at his teammates, most of them were already leaning on their knees and breathing heavily, which was a sign of physical exhaustion.

It is no exaggeration to say that in front of the Italian national team, these players of the Chinese national football team are just like professional teams facing wild football teams. Not to mention anything else, just using physical strength to pull you to play can make you slip away, not to mention the physical, technical and tactical application.

It is a very helpless and cruel reality, and there is no way to deal with it.

The ball finally started to be lost. In the 30th minute of the first half, Chiesa was dodging on the wing. Zou Zheng, Mei Fang, and even the old captain Zheng Zhi of the Chinese national football team double-teamed and failed to hold down the Italian striker. After breaking through the siege, Chiesa made a coquettish outside foot pass. The ball flew to the front of the goal with a strong rotation. Immobile rushed to the front of the goal and headed in.

1-0.

Italy is leading.

Although the number of fans on the scene is far less than that of the Chinese national football team, when the goal was scored, the whole St. Petersburg Stadium was filled with the sound of celebration.

There is no way, absolutely no way, and it cannot be restricted at all.

The silver fox in the sidelines shook his head. He didn't expect that he could not prevent the loss of the ball even with such a purely defensive lineup. The gap was so big that it was shocking.

The old man was anxious and started to rubbish some players.

"Cowards don't deserve to play, get off here."

"How many times have I told you to handle the ball in this position?"

...

The old man, who was nearly 70 years old, roared angrily on the sidelines with a red face and thick neck, worrying about these "uncles".

After scoring, the Italian team began to consciously control the ball. The steady kick was like "boiling a frog in warm water". Unless they were particularly sure, they would still focus on safety. This was the old tradition of the Italian team.

This was good news for the Chinese national football team. The players on the field could finally take a breath. Under dense defense, if there was no surprise or local star explosion, the Italian team's creativity would not be able to penetrate the goal of the Chinese national football team with the flattened front line and densely positioned goal.

"Beep"

The first half of the game ended.

After hearing the whistle, the Chinese national football players sat down on the grass like a deflated ball, and got up and returned to the locker room after a while. Many people were still confused at this time.

It can be imagined how angry the Silver Fox was in the locker room at halftime. If eyes could kill, I am afraid that all of these Chinese national football players would have a bad ending.

There was no tactical arrangement, and the old coach was just venting his dissatisfaction and anger.

Gold-rimmed glasses, suits, and big cigars. He looks gentlemanly and gentle, but he is tough and fierce.

All the players looked at each other. For two years, they have been used to the old coach's methods. They stared at each other. How should the second half of the game be played? There was no clear answer, and the Silver Fox was still swearing.

The second half of the game started, and it was time to play.

All the players walked onto the court with a blank look on their faces.

Arrangement? Tactics? Man proposes, God disposes. Without hard power, the Silver Fox could do nothing. This was the first time in his life that he felt powerless in football tactics. What was even more tragic was that the players under him were not brave enough. The so-called love is deep, the blame is sharp.

"Beep."

The game started again, and it was already a continuation of the process of the first half of the game. The leading Italian team was not in a hurry to attack, but patiently passed the ball to find the weaknesses of the Chinese national team's defense.

In the 77th minute of the game, the Italian team found another chance. Verratti made a very secret through ball from the middle to Chiesa in the penalty area. After receiving the ball, the latter took advantage of the ball and shot directly.

The shot was too sudden, and the angle of the ball was also tricky.

Goalkeeper Da Lei did not make any saves. 0-2.

It's all over. The Chinese national football team has explained this game. It's difficult to make up for this score!
