Chapter 592 Chapter [026] - The Situation is Complicated - [Today's Second Update]

When it was about to play in the final battle of the group, the Italian "Gazzetta dello Sport" reminded the Italian national team: the last runner-up's exit scared Italy, and the lessons learned from the past inspired the defending champion!

They wrote in the article: "French Rooster" was completely sluggish in the World Cup in South Africa. As the runner-up of the last World Cup, scandals continued in the group stage of this World Cup. First, Anekar was expelled from the national team.During the World Cup in South Africa, there were many disputes among European teams. The "infighting disease" first raged in France, then spread to England, and finally even the previous champion Italy was unfortunately infected.

After two consecutive draws, the pessimistic Italians had only a sliver of consolation: In the 1982 World Cup and the 1986 World Cup, the Italian team also had two consecutive draws in the group stage, but won the championship once and successfully qualified from the group the other time.

Italy will face Slovakia in the final battle. Seeing the tragic exit of the French team, which was once on the same level as itself, the Italian team cannot help but fall into deep worry.

Italian star midfielder De Rossi said worriedly: "We are all a little worried now. I have said it before and I will repeat it now, that is, if we fail to make it to the knockout rounds in this World Cup, we will be a failed team."

Facing New Zealand and Paraguay, which are much different from their own strength, the Italian team ended the game with a 1-1 draw.Faced with such a situation, De Rossi said: "If I can't win the last game, our dream of defending the World Cup in South Africa will end. We are a strong Italy. We must win one of the three group games, otherwise we can only pack our bags and go home."

Regarding the current situation in Italy, coach Lippi analyzed: "Don't be too surprised that some teams performed very well in the first few games. You should wait until the end of the game to see who is the dark horse of the World Cup."

Paraguay is currently at the top of Group F with 4 points, Italy and New Zealand are tied for second with 2 points, and Slovakia is at the bottom.

Some people think that the current Italian team is more like 1986, but with more problems.Verjoward said, "Compared with 1986, this team also lacks very talented players. Now what they need is not to be afraid of anyone. I hope Pirlo can bring some help to this team." Altobelli said: "I very much hope that this team can replicate the story of 1982, but if they can't find the right way out, they will definitely replicate 1986, but they must have a strong attack to break it all."

Cabrini pointed out, "This team is indeed a combination of old and new, but obviously it should be more active. They have only completed a small part of the tasks that should be completed." Tardelli also analyzed: "This team is very similar to the one in 1986? Maybe. Lippi did a good job, but unfortunately the team lacks something.

In Bergomi's view, the only thing the two teams have in common is that they were unable to beat their opponents in the group stage. "But I believe that once they qualify, the situation will definitely change. The Netherlands is likely to be our potential opponent, but obviously, compared with the French team in 1986, this Dutch team is not so terrible."

Kolovati is even more picky. "The current national team is incomparable to 1986. Back then we were scored by Maradona and Platini. At that time, we didn't have any offensive problems. Altobelli scored 4 goals in 4 games!"

Yes, dark clouds overwhelmed the city, and the sky seemed to darken all of a sudden, making it impossible for the Italian national team to see the light.All the Italian fans were gloomy. They didn't know if this was the last battle of the Italian national team in this World Cup!

At this time, they felt the horror of losing the Italian national team in the World Cup. They really hope that the Italian national team can give the Italian national team a hand and let the Italian national team advance to the next round! !

At the same time, Italy's "Corriere dello Sport" also had to practice for the Italian national team: the coach looked at the bench and wanted to change the lineup to advance to the Italian national team!

They wrote: Today, the Italian team will play against Slovakia.The Italian team scored 2 points in both games, while the Slovak team only scored 1 point. This game is more like a gamble, and the loser is out.

In Italy, after two draws, the lack of offensive ability has been highlighted.The defense of Buffon was injured and Cannavaro was under pressure, so the Italian team had to open a gamble for themselves first.Lippi will greatly adjust the team's tactics and staffing, and no one can predict what kind of chemical reaction this will bring to the team.Pirlo's comeback is another gamble. There are still doubts about whether he can maintain his state after not participating in the game for a long time.However, the biggest gamble is still in terms of tactics. Both teams must win, and a confrontation full of variables is inevitable.

For Slovakia, only one point was accumulated in the two games, and the goal difference was negative by 2.Therefore, they not only have to gamble with Italy, but also pray for a victory for Paraguay.Although the team's ambitions are high, no one can control a gamble.

Lippi looked at the bench!

Yesterday, Italian coach Lippi said in an interview that in the game against Slovakia, he will also make adjustments to the team's tactics and style of play. "I've never been a stubborn person, I always look to the bench."

From playing Paraguay to playing New Zealand, Lippi changed teams without changing players. After two draws, Lippi was ready to change completely.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" experts predict that Gilardino and Marchisio performed poorly in the first two games and will no longer be able to get Lippi's trust.Iaquinta, Criscito and Gattuso are also possible substitutes.

In addition, Pirlo had already participated in the training match on Tuesday. At the end of the training, Lippi also communicated with Pirlo specifically to determine his state and feeling.Lippi said: "After all, he has not had an official game for a few days, and I still have doubts."

Hamsik's "instigating rebellion" is a fan!

Yesterday, the core of the Slovak team Hamsik said that he hoped that the scene of the 1990 World Cup at the San Paolo Stadium would be reproduced: Naples fans defected to support their Maradona.

The Slovakian team started with great ambitions, but now they only have one point, which makes their qualifying situation very pessimistic.

Hamsik played for Naples in Serie A and met Italy. He hopes that Naples fans will support him like they supported Maradona back then.Hamsik said: "Although I don't have the influence of Maradona, I have many friends in Naples."

Hamsik believes that the Italian team can never be underestimated, and their players have sufficient experience.

Regarding the upcoming game, he said: "Although there will be a tough battle, I will definitely send my best wishes to my friends in Naples."

new zealand may make history

At 6:24 on June 22, the New Zealand team will face the group leader Paraguay.In order to ensure the top spot in the group, the Paraguay team will certainly not let go of the recognized weakest opponent in the group, and after the team beat Slovakia, their morale is in full swing.

On the other hand, the New Zealand team, after an upset draw with the Italian team, they are also looking forward to a historic 16th.New Zealand coach Herbert said: "Since we haven't lost, it means we can do better." However, defeating Paraguay seems to be an impossible task, and the New Zealanders can only hope that the good luck of equalizing Slovakia in stoppage time can continue.

Amateurs dance with masters

On the 21st, New Zealand coach Herbert said that he used amateur players in the match against Italy.This gives amateur players the opportunity to compete with multi-millionaire professional players.

Andy Barron, a 29-year-old bank official, was substituted late in the game against Italy.In this competition, Herbert selected a total of 4 amateur players, for which he was also criticized.However, Barron's experience shows that it is not only well-paid professional players who can find their place on the football field.

For the upcoming life-and-death battle, Barron said that he hopes to make another appearance and try to help the team qualify.

Expected lineup

新西兰（4-3-2-1）：1-帕斯顿；4-温斯顿.里德，6-尼尔森，5-维切利奇，19-汤米.史密斯；11-伯托斯，7-埃利奥特，3-洛克海德；14-法伦，10-基伦；9-斯梅尔茨

巴拉圭（4-3-3）：1-比利亚尔；6-博内特，14-保罗.达席尔瓦，21-阿尔卡拉斯，3-莫雷尔；13-贝拉，15-维克托.卡塞雷斯，16-里韦罗斯；9-圣克鲁斯，19-巴里奥斯，18-巴尔德斯

So far, this group is the most complicated group in this World Cup. At this time, no one is guaranteed to qualify.Yes, even Paraguay, who are ranked first in the group, are not guaranteed to qualify.

If both the Italian and New Zealand national teams beat their opponents in the final round, the Italian and New Zealand national teams will share five points, knocking out Paraguay and Slovakia.Of course, there is a big gap in strength between New Zealand and Paraguay, but before that, didn't they draw with the Italian national team, which is more powerful than them?Therefore, New Zealand's victory over Paraguay is not a dream!

Moreover, Slovakia is not without opportunities.As long as Paraguay kills New Zealand and Slovakia beats Italy, then Slovakia will also qualify with Paraguay.Therefore, the form of this group is very complicated, and everyone has the possibility of qualifying, so this final round will be a battle of life and death! !
