Chapter 648 Chapter [082] - Fran single-handedly - [Today's first update]

"However, I firmly believe that the Italian national team will not be indifferent to this. They are here for the championship, who is not here for the championship? This game will definitely be very exciting, can you miss it? Well, the live video has been taken over, let's all go closer and have a look!" As soon as Duan Xuan finished speaking, players appeared on the TV screen.

At this time, the players of the two teams stood in a row, standing on the left and right sides of the referee. At this time, the voice of the commentator sounded from the loudspeaker of the stadium, as if the national anthem was about to be played and the national flag raised.

"The ceremony of raising the national flag and playing the national anthem will be held immediately, and the Italian national anthem will be played first!" Duan Xuan solved this doubt for everyone.

The stadium suddenly became solemn. After all, everyone should show respect for a country. Along with the familiar music, the Italian players opened their mouths with serious faces and sang their national anthem sacredly.As the singing sounded, the scenes of this competition appeared in his mind, the Italian team struggled to qualify for the group stage, there were doubts from the media and fans, and the lore in the knockout rounds... They all survived, and they went well, they all survived.Gradually, tears appeared on the faces of the Italian players, maybe because of excitement, maybe because of pride... Xu Zhou was also gradually infected, and along with the music, Xu Zhou also burst into tears...

Then, it was the national anthem of the Uruguayan team. The faces of the Uruguayan players were equally solemn, and their eyes were full of tears. This is the World Cup. The Uruguayan players were very excited.

Soon, the ceremony is over.Then the captains of the two teams followed the on-duty referee to one side to pick the right to fight for the ball.

"Head or tail? It's the right to the ball, and the hand is to pick a side, head or tail?" The referee showed the coins in his hands to the captains of the two teams.

"Reverse!" Italian team captain Pirlo said firmly.

"Positive!" Uruguay team captain Diego. Forlan said clearly.

"Okay!" The referee quickly tossed the coin up and pressed it into his hand.Then it opened slowly, "Correct!" The referee showed the result to the captains of the two teams, "Italy takes the side, and Uruguay has the ball." The referee on duty looked at Uruguay captain Diego Forlan and Italian captain Pirlo.

The Italian national team looked at the goals at both ends of Pirlo, and then said firmly: "Left!"

"Okay, call your teammates, and the game will start right away. The Uruguayan team will have the ball, and the Italian team will have the left court!" After speaking, the referee on duty quickly left, and called the two line referees together to discuss something, and then the two line referees left quickly.The referee also quickly walked to the middle circle, because there, the players of the two teams were ready.

"Flute..." As soon as the whistle sounded, the semi-finals between the Italian team and the Uruguayan team began for the first time.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello everyone, the first half of the game is about to start, let's go and have a look. The defending champion Italy team is wearing a dark blue jersey, and the Uruguay team, the biggest dark horse of this World Cup, is wearing a blue jersey that is a bit whitish. Now the defending champion is attacking from the left to the right of the TV screen." Duan Xuan began his devilish speech.

"Now I will introduce the starting lists of both sides. First of all, let's introduce the starting list of the Italian team today. They have a 4-2-3-1 formation, with almost no changes. The goalkeeper replaces the injured Italian goalkeeper Buffon's Marchetti. The four backs are Marcio, Ranocchia, Chiellini and Zambrotta. The double midfielders are Pirlo and De Rossi. In front of these two is Giovinco. Gilardino is the striker starting today." Duan Xuan began to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams.

"Did you see that? The formation of the Italian national team has not changed today, but there has been a change in the personnel. That is, Quagliarella did not appear in the starting list, and Gilardino replaced him. From this, it can be seen that Lippi is actually very dissatisfied with the Italian national team's striker. He has replaced the striker many times in these games. In fact, it is normal for Lippi to do so. After playing so many games, the Italian national team's striker failed to score a goal. This is really unreasonable." Duan Xuan said with emotion.

"Also, since the end of the second group stage, Cannavaro was firmly pressed on the bench by Lippi, and the former Italian captain was not given any chance to stand up. It seems that Cannavaro has done a lot of damage to Lippi. However, Ranocchia is indeed a bit young, and the defense line formed by him and Chiellini is not without problems. There have been many crises in the previous games. However, compared with Cannavaro, he is still much more stable. It seems that Cannavaro is saying goodbye to this game It is." Duan Xuan mentioned Cannavaro again.

"Okay, let's take a look at Uruguay's starting lineup. Uruguay is sending out a 4-4-2 lineup today. The goalkeeper is No. [-] Muslera, the four defenders are Faber Pera, Godin, Vittolino, Caceres, the double midfielders are Diego Perez and Rios, Arevalo is on the left, Alvaro Pereira is on the right, and Cavani and Diego Forlan are on the front line." Duan Xuan finally finished his introduction.

"Today, Suarez, the Ajax striker of the Hand of God, sat in the stands. Because of the handball in the quarter-finals, he missed this very important semi-final. However, if it weren't for his important red card, maybe the opponent of the Italian national team today is the Ghana team from Africa. Therefore, it is worthwhile for Suarez to sit in the stands today, but it does have a great impact on Uruguay's offense.

Uruguay kicked off the ball first on the field. Cavani received the ball passed by Diego Forlan and knocked it back to Alvaro Pereira on the right, and then ran forward by himself.

He can go up and down, versatile, technically brilliant, he dribbles down the right and Zambrotta meets him.Alvaro Perez suddenly made a look of forcing the bottom while running, and Zambrotta quickly stuck up to block him. When he was about to block Alvaro Perez's breakthrough, Alvaro Perez suddenly pulled the ball back, and then passed the ball into the penalty area from the corner of the penalty area.

Cavani just rushed into the penalty area, but his height made him have no advantage in the high-altitude ball competition, but the drum momentum brought by him running at full speed gave him an advantage. Cavani hit the ball before Chiellini.

Marchetti made a beautiful dive, one-handed and dangerously threw the ball towards the sideline. Zambrotta intercepted the ball in front of Alvaro Perez, and then made a big-footed clearance.

"The Uruguayan team had a good chance just after the start of the game. Thanks to the Italian goalkeeper Marchetti's outstanding performance, he was able to keep the goal... Well, now it's the Italian team's counterattack. Pirlo passed the ball to Xu Zhou on the wing!"

Facing the defense of a defensive midfielder and a full-back, Xu Zhou secretly knocked the ball with his heel to Pirlo behind him. Pirlo immediately passed a high-altitude ball, and the ball went over the heads of the Uruguayan midfielder Diego Perez and the full-back.De Rossi, who was running in the middle, took a long shot without stopping the ball!

The ball whizzed and flew to the upper right corner of the goal. Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera leaped into the air, folded his palms together, and caught the ball beautifully, without giving Gilardino a chance to make a supplementary shot.

"Uruguay's goalkeeper Muslera performed very well this time. He didn't feel the pressure in front of Xu Zhou and gave full play to his level. Xu Zhou passed the ball beautifully, and De Rossi shot better, but the ball failed. It's a pity. This shot is beautiful, and the save is also beautiful!" Duan Xuan said loudly.

"Good job! Muslera, beautiful save, that's it, play well!" Captain Diego Forlan ran over quickly, patted Muslera on the shoulder and said.

Muslera smiled slightly, tightened the ball in his hand and said, "Okay, captain, I won't hold back the whole team, don't worry, I'm betting my future on this!"

"Good job, keep going! Diego Forlan ran out quickly, and then Muslera kicked the ball up the frontcourt with a big kick. The ball flew far away and flew directly to the Italian team's penalty area.

"No way?" The Italian players were caught off guard, but the Uruguayan players knew Muslera's style of play very well. Although it was bold, it was very effective. They had practiced it many times in training, and the effect was very good. It can be said that this is their secret weapon.

Before Chiellini had time to jump up this time, Cavani had already gently rubbed the flying ball forward, and the ball fell between the defender and the goalkeeper.

Diego Forlan's sense of smell is very sensitive, and he has trained it many times, so he knows it all.So he has been prepared and is waiting for this moment, and his speed is also amazing. At this time, the Italian team is in danger!In just a split second, he appeared in front of the ball. At this time, he had thrown off the defense of the two central defenders of the Italian team, and was only about five meters away from the goalkeeper!

Marchetti did not attack, because he is a comprehensive goalkeeper, so he has to choose the way he is best at, so as to increase the success rate of saving.So he also missed the opportunity to block the opponent's shot in advance.

Diego Forlan didn't shoot, but took another lead into the penalty area. Now Marchetti had to attack. Diego Forlan pulled the ball with his right foot to the right, avoiding Marchetti's outstretched hand. Diego Forlan easily passed the Italian goalkeeper Marchetti. Now the Italian team is really in danger.

Diego Forlan quickly pushed the empty goal with his right foot!
