Chapter 588 Chapter [022] - The media is fierce - [Today's first update]

In order to shame the Italian national team and Lippi, the Italian local "Torino Sport" also published a report like this: New Zealand coach: Amateur players also perform miracles and dare to defeat any opponent.

In the article, they wrote: In the second round match of Group F of the South African World Cup in Split, Italy drew with New Zealand 1-1. Cannavaro's clearance error allowed Smelz to take the lead.Italy will face Slovakia in the final round.The World Cup rookie team New Zealand won their second draw in this World Cup and still have a chance to qualify for the group stage.

In this game, the New Zealand team proved their strength in front of the defending champion. After the game, the excited New Zealand coach Ricky Herbert couldn't hide his excitement, "We still maintain the hope of advancing. I think this will surprise 99.9% of people. The result of the game is a bit unbelievable for us. We created a miracle. This is the best result we can get. This makes us enter the final round of the group stage with great hope."

The New Zealand team did not face too many challenges when it emerged from Oceania. It is generally considered to be the bottom of the top 32 in the World Cup. However, the New Zealand team still maintains great hope of appearing in Group F with its strong body and focus.

"People have been criticizing us as mostly amateurs who don't deserve to play in the World Cup, but we proved tonight that we've done a miracle with our own effort and the opportunity to score."

"Our opponent is the 4-time world champion Italy. Some people are still questioning that our way of qualifying for the World Cup is too simple, but the fact is that we have created many miracles, and we will return to our homeland with more surprises. In the World Cup, we dare to dream of defeating any opponent."

The New Zealand team will usher in the final opponent of the group stage on the 24th, Paraguay, which is temporarily ranked first in the group.

Yes, compared to the excitement and arrogance of the New Zealand coach, Lippi is much more depressed at this time.Yes, Italy has been tortured by their so-called "amateur team" to what it is now. Italian fans actually want to ask: "Do you feel ashamed of yourself, Lippi?"

The Italian national team has encountered unprecedented difficulties. In the last game, the Italian national team can only ensure its appearance by defeating its opponents.Although the Italian national team drew with Slovakia and Paraguay defeated New Zealand, the Italian national team can still qualify, but even if the Italian team qualify in this way, the media in Italy and the world will not look at them well.Moreover, this method is very unsafe. In order to be safe, the Italian national team must beat the Slovak team!

However, before this battle, "Gazzetta dello Sport" reported another article. Their title was: The Italian striker only scored 7 goals in 2 games, and the top 6 shooters are all in the air. How can they defend the title.

Their article said: Even as the defending champion, Italy is not favored at all in this World Cup. Their lineup can be called the most civilian in history, and the effect is also not ideal.The team only scored 2 goals in the first two games, and the striker only contributed 1 goal. Moreover, this goal was made by Xu Zhou, who was temporarily pushed to the striker.Counting the previous 6 hot-shot matches, the strikers of the Italian national team only scored [-] goals.In the second half, Lippi replaced Di Natale and Pazzini one after another but failed to rewrite the score. In addition to the previous grassroots striker Quagliarella, it can be said that none of the six Italian forwards are in the top ranks.

During the World Cup warm-up match, Gilardino did not perform well enough, not to mention a few decent kicks, and he hardly had many opportunities to appear in front of the camera. His downturn has been obvious to all. Although Iaquinta has breakthroughs, shots, and even the ability to cross from the wing, his accuracy is really embarrassing. opportunity.

Facing Paraguay, Lippi chose Gilardino and Iaquinta as forwards, but the effect was not satisfactory; in this game against New Zealand, the team specially changed to 433, hoping to find the feeling of scoring goals in the previous qualifiers.However, the fact proved that the problem still existed. Gilardino was replaced by Lippi with Di Natale at the beginning of the second half. like a striker. Well, the front line of the Italian national team is not as good as Xu Zhou, a counterfeit striker, which is simply embarrassing!Now the last hope of Italy can only be pressed on Quagliarella who has not yet appeared.

The civilianization of Italian strikers is not good news. Throughout history, the golden age of the Azzurri’s strikers, Inzaghi Vieri came from Milan duo, Del Piero is the prince of Juventus, Totti is the pride of Rome, and going forward, Baggio is the darling of the top three in the north, and Signori is also the head striker of Florence. The giants must be an integral part of Italy.What does this civilian striker bring to Italy now?After the qualifiers, he only scored 7 goals in 7 games in 5 months, of which the striker scored 2 goals, including the penalty kick scored by Iaquinta in the qualifiers, and the other goal came from Quagliarella. How can such an offensive ability help Italy defend the title.Even qualifying for the group stage is now a problem. If Italy does not beat Slovakia in the next game, then they will become another defending champion after France in 2002.

And now the team's lack of No. 9 and a half players has a huge impact. In the past, the team had Baggio, Del Piero, Totti... the team's glory cannot do without No. 9 and a half.Now the No. 9 jersey, which symbolizes No. 10 and a half, is worn by Di Natale, but the top scorer in Serie A is not a second striker in the traditional sense. At least in terms of his ability to play the ball, he is not worthy of this jersey. From the perspective of the club, a striker from the bottom team in Serie A wears No. 10, which has the symbolic meaning of Italy, which just shows the decline of Serie A strikers.

In the eyes of the media, Italy and Lippi are now outraged, and there is hardly anything good to say to them. This puts a lot of pressure on the Italian national team. Xu Zhou can clearly feel that the stadium is very depressed, and the head coach Lippi often gets angry on the training ground.

At this time, the Spanish "Marca" disclosed a piece of news. Their headline was like this: Although Marchisio was allowed to play, he still bombarded the head coach Lippi for employing people indiscriminately!

They wrote in the article: Italian coach Lippi caught fire in the backyard, and the Juventus players he has always relied on fired at him again, denouncing him for improper employment, causing players to play in unfamiliar positions, which has frustrated morale.

Marchisio's performance in Serie A this season was not satisfactory, and he only won No.7 in Serie A with Juventus.However, as one of the players of the "Juventus Gang", he was able to overwhelm AC Milan's Abate, Antonini and other wide players and was selected for the Italian team.

Although he was trusted and reused by Lippi, Marchisio also expressed dissatisfaction.He criticized Lippi's employment as pure nonsense, and let some players play positions he was not familiar with.The left-wing substitute said he had been changing roles on the field for a year and now had no idea what he was supposed to do.

"Coming to the World Cup, many of our players are not playing in the positions they are used to," he told Torino Sport. "The coach is constantly experimenting with us. It's been a year and I'm still changing positions. So many changes, we are now playing in a mess."

This is not the first player to oppose Lippi's employment.Another Juventus player, striker Iaquinta, was also dissatisfied with Lippi's use of him as a winger, who is good at playing center forward.Marchisio said, "Many of our players are confused." Regarding the current morale of the team, he said that because there has been no victory, morale has been greatly affected. "The morale of the team was low because we thought we could make it easy."

In addition to employing people, Lippi was also controversial when selecting members of the national team.Some capable and good players were arbitrarily rejected by him, and when the World Cup started and he found that there was a shortage of personnel, he was forced to scramble and mess up.

As soon as this report came out, the whole of Italy was in an uproar. Italy was already facing a very big dilemma. Well, now there is a conflict between the generals and the generals. This is a good look.

Although, everyone knows that Lippi is very confusing in terms of employment. Accepting the Italian national team, he has been letting people try and play in different positions.Even Xu Zhou, who has achieved great success in the position of right midfielder, is often arranged by Lippi to play a position he has never played before, and the game against New Zealand is a good example. However, Xu Zhou is a very adaptable player and performed very well in the game.

However, not every player is as adaptable as Xu Zhou, and not every player can adapt to a new position.This is another reason why the Italian media and fans questioned Lippi. Seeing the general disagreement, the hearts of the Italian media and fans became cold again. Will the Italian national team really follow in the footsteps of the French team in [-]? ?
