All Football Talents Are Mine Chapter 360

360. Euro 2012 (4)

[Italy struggles. They are facing Spain with enormous physical strength and tremendous fighting spirit.]

[That’s right. It still looks good so far. But even this will eventually give Spain an advantage over time, right? I can’t stop Woo Ho-young anyway. The only answer seems to be to block as much as possible, succeed in the attack, and lead to a penalty shootout.]

[I think the key is probably De Rossi, who is in charge of coordinating offense and defense as well as being the team’s manager. Woo Ho-young has played against Italy several times, but has yet to experience playing against De Rossi.]

Midfield commander and Daniele De Rossi.

If you were to pick the best defensive midfielders in the world, everyone would say Gattuso, Mascherano, and De Rossi.

However, he argued with Gattuso from the beginning of today’s game.

“I said no, you idiot!”

“How can you know without even trying?”

“I tried it in Milan. “I faced Woo Ho-young!”

De Rossi shows off his outstanding soccer intelligence and ability to read the physical flow, making him very adept at coordinating offense and defense.

On the other hand, Gattuso destroys the midfield with his amazing physical and technical skills.

The two were similar in that they were defensive midfielders, but their playing styles were subtly different.

However, they were so close that they would often hit each other and joke around.

However, both of them had fiery personalities, so they had the characteristic of being violent when they joked around.

For example, there were many cases where people would stab the other person in the back with a fork or wait under the other person’s bed without moving for an hour and then surprise them, which would be funny if others saw it.

So that is often reflected in the game, but today was different.

The two were no longer joking.

“Gattuso, this is not like you. You’re just saving yourself because you’re scared by a kid like that? “Go and hit it with all your might!”

“I said no, you idiot! “If it can’t be done, it can’t be done!”

“Is there anything that is not allowed in our dictionary?”

“Can you break a rock with your bare body? No, that’s not a rock, that’s the Great Wall of China.”

“What a coward. Your will and confidence are all dead, right? I have a piece of advice: it would be better to retire early. I understand why old Trapattoni doesn’t trust you. “If your sub member wasn’t Montolivo, you wouldn’t have even been able to play.”

“What a fool. Think whatever you want. You have to experience it yourself to know. Ah, I guess this is why people are called animals of learning.”

Gattuso and De Rossi glared at each other and gritted their teeth.

However, we looked after each other’s space and did not lose concentration until the end.

That’s because this tournament was nothing else but Euro 2012.

Also the semifinals.

It was not a game you could enjoy while laughing and talking.

It was impossible to let personal pride interfere with the work.

It was then.

“here!”

Marchisio, who was standing in the center, signaled to the right.

This is because Fabregas and Xavi, who were slowly building up from the back, were coming up by dribbling directly.

[Then Iniesta from the left side moves down to midfield. It is not enough to disrupt Italy’s breathtaking midfield with build-up alone.]

[Build-up leading ability is De Rossi’s strength. Moreover, it will not be easy for Spain as Marchisio and Pirlo are holding on tightly.]

At the same time, David Silva opened up more space on the right flank.

It was a completely different move from Iniesta, who was on the opposite side.

[It seems that the intention is to break Italy’s formation by using an asymmetric strategy. If a crack occurs, Woo Ho-young will try to break the line through the gap. Looking at the last match, wasn’t Italy particularly vulnerable in the back space?]

The core of Italy’s defense is the formation between the back four and the third line.

The fact that only 3 goals were allowed in this tournament was thanks to sophisticated line coordination.

However, in the Group C preliminaries, they lost ground to Spain and ended up conceding two goals and suffering the bitter taste of defeat.

But Italy was not stupid to repeat the same mistake.

In order to avoid falling prey to the same tactic, they have prepared a response strategy and, in addition, have prepared weapons that could conversely embarrass Spain.

It was a change that occurred in the midfield.

[Marquisio and Gattuso move down to the third line and form a new line with Pirlo. De Rossi watches the midfield by himself.]

[At the same time, lower the back four line as low as possible. Andrea Barzagli is chasing after Hoyoung Woo all the time. [They won’t leave you alone even for a moment.]

Italy quickly pulls the line down and forms a 4-3-1-2.

In the first place, Spain’s line penetration was prevented by completely blocking the back space.

[It is truly a work of art. It was a major change that felt like soccer was developing rapidly.]

Zidane Ronaldo Ronaldinho.

After that, with the advent of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, various tactics were developed, but now they were developing radically due to the presence of Woo Ho-young.

But the changes in Italy did not end there.

[There are signs of change even on the front lines. Mario Balotelli and Antonio Cassano come down to guard De Rossi’s side.]

[In the end, everyone joins the defense, forming a zero-top position. [You could say it was a three-line defense.] As

Spain went on the attack in earnest, Italy took an extremely defensive stance, literally stopping the bus.

Also known as this combination.

The 4-3-3-0 formation was established by drastically lowering the line with Balotelli and Cassano, who played as the top two.

At the center of it all was De Rossi.

It was no exaggeration to say that Italy’s defense and attack all started in his head.

‘It’s a good start.’

Spain is taking a step back and turning the ball from behind.

De Rossi stroked his trademark beard and broadened his horizons.

‘Is there anything we can’t do?’

Of course, I knew Woo Hoyoung’s abilities well.

Just by looking at Manchester City’s games, you could see how exceptional his technical skills were and how bad his physicality was.

Nevertheless, De Rossi’s confidence was because there were plausible grounds.

‘If he’s a monster, we have the devil on our side.’

Balotelli and Cassano.

Although they were the attackers, the real purpose of using them was to block Woo Ho-young.

“hey!”

By the time Balotelli and Cassano had formed a ready formation, Rossi had read the flow quickly and gave the signal.

It was the moment when Iniesta’s pass was delivered to David Silva on the other side.

Percussion!

[David Silva catches the ball safely.]

[Giorgio Chiellini steps in!]

Chiellini focused only on completely blocking Silva’s penetration path as instructed by the coach.

Instead, he had no choice but to give up a pass route.

[David Silva La Pellopiña turns the direction. He turns his head!]

Rapid attack development.

As soon as David Silva’s eyes turned to the front left, a forward pass was dropped.

The location is in the center of the second line.

Percussion!

Since there was no space behind him, Hoyoung had no choice but to receive the ball with his back to the defense.

That’s where the problem started.

“!”

Before he even received the ball, Barzagli stretched out his foot with the intention of sending Hoyoung away.

The intention was to control Hoyoung’s movements by cleverly stepping on the heels of his soccer shoes.

But that alone wasn’t enough to stop Hoyoung.

Whoop!

Hoyoung, who instantly widened his field of vision, put his foot forward as soon as he saw Barzali’s foot coming secretly from behind.

A sense of superhumanity.

At the same time, he used his strength on his back to shake off Barzali.

I wondered if he could catch the ball safely like that.

but.

“Where!”

The real thing was different.

De Rossi, who had already reached the third line, pushed his shoulder and dug in.

His nasty and stern face showed his will.

But it was that moment.

Pow!

Even though I hit him with all my might with a weight of 85kg, Hoyoung barely budged.

It was De Rossi who was thrown out.

It also bounced far away and fell.

“Keck!”

For a moment, the referee wondered whether he should stop the game, but the ball was still in Hoyoung’s possession and he had not lost possession, so he let the game resume.

But it wasn’t over yet.

[You have to look from side to side!!]

And not just one side, but both sides.

Mario Balotelli and Antonio Cassano were approaching aggressively from the left and right flanks.

De Rossi and Barzagli’s sacrifices were all made for this moment.

The real match is now.

And those two indeed chose their own method.

‘Some methods won’t work!’

Having seen Barzagli and De Rossi helplessly thrown away before, we knew that there was no point in fighting.

At that moment, Cassano’s eyes sparkled.

It was immediately after that that the sharp blade of his hand extended towards Hoyoung’s neck.

At the same time, Balotelli’s legs cleverly came in below his waist.

The intention was to cleverly target Hoyoung’s knee.

It was an action that would never be considered professional athletes, but for those two, it was something that was not greatly affected by their conscience.

But there was no way.

Hoyoung moved his body regardless of whether his arms or legs flew out.

He bent his body bizarrely, like a rhythmic gymnast, and dodged all of their attacks.

Scenes were produced continuously as if watching a movie.

It was a spectacular finale.

[Woo Ho-young, just like that!]

Ho-young turned his body half a turn and boldly shot.

Turning shot.

It was not a simple turning shot.

It flew in the wrong direction and landed right in the face of Cassano, who was right in front of him.

Pow!

However, the sound did not stop there, but soon changed into a cheerful sound.

Crash!

[Gooooooooooo! Woo Hoyoung! It exploded!]

The ball that hit Cassano’s face was immediately deflected on the spot and sucked into the goal.

It is a shooting path that goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon cannot even dare to predict.

It was Hoyoung who calculated it all.

‘I feel like I’m getting close to the limit of superhumanity.’

A transcendent shooting that has reached the limits of superhumanity.

Now I’ve come to the realization that there’s really nothing I can’t do.

And indeed, the reward was certain.

[I’m looking for the weird Phantasy Star (T) in advance. Acquire some of Antonio Cassano’s experience and sensibility. It takes 12 days to fully digest the experience and sensations.]

The result of satisfying the condition of ‘exploding Antonio Cassano’s nosebleed’.

Indeed, befitting the player’s personality, the conditions were also unique.

Moreover, he was also able to covet another normal talent.

[I am looking for the midfield commander’s sense of air defense coordination (T) in advance. Acquire some of Daniele De Rossi’s experiences and sensibilities. It takes 12 days to fully digest the experience and sensations.]

De Rossi’s title.

I was able to get it thanks to scoring a goal after winning the ball duel.

Additionally, advancing to the finals was a bonus.

Italy, who lethargically gave up the first goal, lost its will and was repeatedly dragged by Spain, conceding the victory.

The glorious title of winning the Euro Championship is now just around the corner.

Spain’s opponent in the final four days later was Germany, the winner of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
