Chapter 524

After the content of Bai Xiaotian's interview was released, the voice of domestic protests became much quieter.Many hot-headed and rhythmic fans have also come to their senses.

This is the World Cup and we are still fighting!

There was internal strife before the game, what is the difference between this and shouting Milu to dismiss get out of class in the previous group stage?
Calling Milu dismissed at that time was affirming that the Chinese team would not be able to qualify for the group stage; and calling Bai Xiaotian to apologize at this time, did it also affirm that the Chinese team's promotion path will be blocked by Germany?
After thinking about the joints, the fans will no longer be affected by other factors, and they will wholeheartedly pray for the Chinese team.

Originally, the Chinese team's promotion to the quarter-finals of the World Cup was not a small news internationally.However, when the world's major media watched another game that night, they invariably dedicated their headlines to this game.

6月18日19时30分，本届世界杯16强淘汰赛最后1场在大田世界杯体育场鸣哨。

Trapattoni put Del Piero into the starting line-up, and he equalized after coming off the bench in the previous game, thus earning the opportunity to start the cup for the first time, while Inzaghi was the victim.Central defender Nesta was absent due to injury, Cannavaro was suspended, Iuliano and Maldini formed a central defender partner, and the teenager Koko was between the left back and the left midfielder.

For the South Korean team, Hiddink chose Ahn Jung-hwan as the striker, while veteran Hwang Sun-hong was on the bench waiting for his 100th chance to play for the national team.

The on-duty referee is the Ecuadorian referee Moreno, and the two line referees are the Argentine lineman George and the Hungarian lineman Zekeli.

For the former two Italians who had four goals blown off by the referee in the group stage, there is not much comment, because the two have not refereeed the Italian team's game before.But the Italians are a little worried about the other lineman, Cekri, because he also served as the lineman in the Champions League match between Roma and Galatasaray at home this season. In that game, there was a serious conflict between the players of the two teams.

The Daejeon Stadium, which can accommodate 4 people, has almost become a sea of ​​red, and there are thousands of fans outside the stadium watching the big screen.

In this World Cup, the Japanese team, one of the hosts, has been eliminated, but the South Korean team does not want to be like the Japanese team. They prefer to hold their destiny in their own hands.

On the Italian side, the Azzurri coach Trapattoni appeared on the sidelines in a dark blue suit.

During the game, this old coach with full of personality turned the coach command area beside the court into another stage, fully showing the demeanor of Italian old coach through rich and varied expressions, language and body movements.

In the 4th minute, Park Ji-sung broke through from the right and was tackled by Keke, who was given a yellow card.Song Zongguo took a free kick from the right, Panucci pulled Xue Qixuan down in the penalty area, and the Ecuadorian referee Moreno did not hesitate to call a penalty.

At the beginning of the game, the opponent was given a penalty kick, and thousands of Italian jerseys all over the world broke into a cold sweat.

Trapattoni on the sidelines seemed a little numb amidst the cheers of the South Korean fans. He stared blankly at the field, as if he still didn't understand what happened.After a while, he seemed to have reacted, raised his right arm and waved his head angrily, then turned around and walked around while turning his head and muttering something to the assistants on the coach's bench.

Under the worried eyes of the Italian fans, Ahn Jung-hwan took the penalty kick and pushed it straight to the lower left corner of the goal.The young Buffon flew to the right and magically sealed the ball out of the baseline.

The audience cheered, and Buffon reproduced the magical scene of Toldo in 2000.In the hearts of Italian fans, it seems that the balance of victory is tilting towards Italy again.

And the vitality of the special coach was stimulated again. He first waved his fist vigorously, then rushed to the sidelines to applaud exaggeratedly, and shouted loudly at the frontcourt players in the field, making a gesture of pressing forward.

In the 17th minute, Kim Tae Young kicked Zambrotta's heel behind him and was warned by a yellow card.Del Piero took a long-range free kick and shot directly. Goalkeeper Li Yun flew to support the crossbar.Immediately after Totti took a corner kick from the left, Vieri squeezed away Cui Zhenzhe from the front point, and scored a header 5 meters away from the goal. The ball hit the net from the upper right corner of the goal.

Italy leads 1-0.

When Vieri's header slammed into the goal of the South Korean team, Trapattoni, who had been standing on the sidelines with his mouth half open and watching nervously, exploded with amazing vitality in an instant. His excited body jumped up and raised his arms to cheer.

After a moment of excitement, the special coach returned to his usual calmness. He stuffed his fingers into his mouth and blew his signature whistle to attract the attention of his team members.

Vieri's goal has also become the 1900th goal in the history of the World Cup, and it will remain in the history of the World Cup forever.

After Italy took the lead, they played their best counterattack.Vieri is often left alone in the frontcourt, and the pace of the game gradually slows down. While Italy concedes the ball, South Korea's ball possession rate exceeds 60%.

In the 38th minute of the first half, Del Piero crossed the ball from the right to meet his teammate's pass, and the linesman raised the flag to signal offside.

Trapattoni, who has always seemed very calm, was very angry about the ball for some reason.He clenched his fists and yelled loudly towards the field, until he was so angry that he turned around and kicked a yellow drink bottle standing behind him towards the bench.

The bottle hit the pillar of the bench and rebounded, and the Italian substitute Doni, who was sitting next to him, shrank his neck in fright.The fiery commanding personality of the old Italian coach is fully revealed in this action.

In the 42nd minute, Song Zongguo took a corner kick from the right side, and Ke Ke died with Yoo Sang-chul.When the two were fighting for the top, Yoo Sang-tie hit Keke's face with his left elbow, and Keke's left brow bone was bleeding profusely, and he was forced to go to the sidelines for treatment.

Three minutes later, Keke, with his head bandaged, returned to the field.

Looking at the bright red on his forehead, the Italian fans felt a shadow in their hearts.

In the second half, Keke continued to play.

In the 49th minute, Del Piero dribbled the ball on the left side of the penalty area in an attempt to pass.Kim Tae Young hit Del Piero with his left elbow while defending, causing a fierce conflict between the two players.The referee Moreno called the two aside and gave warnings to calm down their anger.

In the 54th minute, Lee Yong-pyo passed Tomasi and was pulled down, and Tomasi was warned by a yellow card.

In the 56th minute, Zambrotta kicked a high ball from the right, Del Piero volleyed with his left foot, and the ball hit Cui Zhenzhe's shoulder, knocking him to the ground.

In the 58th minute, Keke uprooted Park Ji-sung in the arc of the penalty area, Yoo Sang-chul flicked the ball, and Ahn Jung-hwan shot high with his left foot from 19 meters away.Zanetti vented his dissatisfaction with the referee because of this penalty and was directly warned by a yellow card.

In the 62nd minute, Hwang Sun-hong replaced defender Kim Tae-young, and Hiddink was desperate to find a goal.In the 66th minute, Jin Nanyi sprained his ankle and was carried off.Forward Lee Cheon-soo came off the bench.

In the 70th minute, there were also wounded on the Italian side.Zambrotta was shoveled off the field for treatment and was unable to continue the game.

Trapattoni looked extremely calm at this time. While signaling to the team doctor to come forward for treatment, he called Di Livio, who was active on the sidelines, to prepare to appear.

But no one expected that in the 42nd minute of the second half, the tenacious South Korean team once again launched a fierce offensive in the frontcourt.

No. 21 Park Ji-sung of the middle laner transferred the ball into the penalty area. Italian defender Panucci made a mistake when clearing the siege. The ball bounced off his hands and fell to the feet of Korean No. 9 forward Seol Ki-hyun.

At the last minute, the South Korean team equalized the score.

Seeing this ball, Trapattoni seemed to have been strongly shocked and stood motionless on the sidelines for five or six seconds.After that, he turned his head to one side in great disappointment, and kept nagging.It can be seen that this unexpected conceded goal hit the coach really hard.

The two sides had to enter overtime.

South Korea's physical strength still appears to be relatively abundant, and the Italian players are not bad at all.Although they came here to play games across more than half of the world, overtime is nothing to these Italian players who have played in the five major leagues all the year round.

But what no one expected was that at the end of the first half of overtime, something happened that was enough to tilt the balance.
