Chapter 1724 The game has just begun

The Italians came, but the Brazilians didn't.

Marquios ultimately missed the game, and he's still out for a month.

Ahead of the trip from Milan, Insubrex coach Manuel Piandi told reporters he regretted and was disappointed that Marquios would not be able to travel to the game.

"...Marquios is injured, which is something that no one wants to see. And for our team, his absence is even more important. We will face very strong opponents away. In order to beat Pirates of Madrid, we have to give our all. And now Marquios is injured..."

He shook his head and didn't continue talking.

"He's confusing us."

In the locker room before the game, Parrotti said to his players.

He is giving his final orders.

"Although Marquios is their main force and is indeed outstanding, he is not the core of Insubre's midfield. The lack of a Marquios will definitely not have as serious an impact on the team as he has shown. He Just hope we let our guard down because of Soubre's heavy losses.

"Because it is an away game, Soubre will adopt more conservative and pragmatic tactics. They will first stabilize their defense, consume our patience, and at the same time wait for an opportunity to hit our counterattack. At the same time, I also want to remind you of the resilience of the Italian team. Even if We lead them by one goal in the game, and don't relax easily. Insubre is a relatively comprehensive team. They are different from the Turin Bulls we met last season. Their offense and defense are good."

Parotti repeated what he had told the players before.

As an Italian, he knows a lot about Italian teams.

Some things can change with the change of head coach candidates, but some things belong to the genes of the team and are difficult to be completely changed.

For example, the Turin Bulls pay more attention to defense, and their defense has always been very good. Therefore, in terms of signings and tactical selection, they will give priority to defense. Of course, this is also because they have always had the almost invincible "Caesar" on the front line, so they don't need to think too much about offense.

And the Milan giants of Insoubre are more balanced, they will not be too partial like the Turin Bulls.

This is a nice way of saying it, and a bad way to say it is overall mediocrity.

Having owned the Russian superstar "Ivan the Terror" before, it can also guarantee attack power. Now Romanov has left the team and returned to the Russian League for retirement. Although Insublei has introduced a number of offensive players to enhance his strength, sometimes he will not be able to score goals due to the lack of sufficient offensive means to suppress them.

The final ten minutes of their 2-1 away loss to Eldrea last weekend was proof of that.

Compared with the "mediocre" on both offensive and defensive ends, their strength in the midfield is still slightly stronger. In addition to the injured Marquios, they also have many excellent midfielders.

For example, the powerful left midfielder, Czech international Michael Turecek, has not only the exquisite and comprehensive skills of Eastern European players, but also the iron-blooded spirit of Eastern European players. He is a "fighter" player.

There is also the Italian international Giuseppe Vicari who is a full-time defender. Although he is only 1.78 meters tall, he is a defender who gives many offensive players a headache. He has outstanding defensive ability, can run well, and has a tenacious fighting spirit. .

But the most prominent midfielder is the talented midfielder they cultivated by Insubrei himself-Marco Rossini.

Although he is only 22 years old, he has already taken the core position in the midfield of the Italian giants.

At the same time, he is also considered a genius who can become the core midfielder of the Italian national team in the next ten years.

Marco Rossini split the ball wide in midfield to the right-back Luca Brienza, who ran in behind, and then instead of rushing forward, he looked left and right and pointed towards Brienza moves across the wing behind him.

Sure enough, Brienza encountered resistance from the Madrid Pirates when he was going forward. At this time, Rossini shouted behind him: "Luka! Luca!"

Luca Brienza looked back to see Rossini who was meeting him and passed the football.

Before receiving the ball, Rossini had been turning his head to observe the situation on the field. He noticed that as the football moved closer to the right, the Madrid Pirates' defensive center of gravity also shifted to this side. Their right, Insubre's left appeared. free time.

So when he received the ball, he immediately adjusted to that side, then swung his right leg and passed the football to the other side of the field.

He accurately found Insubre's left back Pierluigi Scalera.

The Italian left-back, known for his assists, caught Rossini's ball on the touchline, and then instead of continuing to dribble along the wing, he chose to cut inside!

Just when the Madrid Pirates right back Irazusta, who came up to defend him, thought he was really going to cut inside, he used the outside instep of his left foot to push the football to the bottom line again!

Then change direction and break through the bottom!

And because Irasusta withdrew to defend him and cut in, he just opened a distance from him, and there was no way to go forward to intercept and block the first time.

After breaking through Irazusta, Scalera looked up to observe the situation in the penalty area, and then kicked a pass.

It's just that his cross was pushed out by Danny Drew.

The Dutch central defender stuck in his position and firmly grasped the air supremacy.

"It was a good time, but the pass was a bit unnecessary... Scalera can continue to rush into the penalty area, instead of such a simple pass..." In the studio behind, Yan Kang responded to Insubre's Comment on the attack. "If Romanov is in the middle of the penalty area, then there is no problem with passing the ball."

He Feng said: "But Romanov was not in the team last season. Hamel is a good striker, but his header ability is far worse than Romanov's."

※※※

The commentators were paying attention to Scalella's final cross, and the coaches were discussing Rossini on the sidelines of the Madrid Pirates' bench.

"Rossini is indeed capable. He can be the core of a giant at the age of 22. I even think he should thank Albertazzi... If it wasn't for Albertazzi, how would he know that his most suitable position is not a center forward, but a center forward? Is it the midfielder?"

Marco Rossini, a talented player trained by Insoubre himself. At the beginning, he played as a center forward in the Insubure Junior Team and scored more than 80 goals in a season. Known as a teenage genius, everyone thought he would become a super shooter in the future.

As a result, he met Mauro Albertazzi, a talented goalkeeper who also became famous at a young age, and was thrown by Albertazzi to "doubt his life".

Later, as he grew older, he changed from a striker to a midfielder, and there are still such "rumors" circulating in public opinion. It is said that Rossini does not play forward because he suffered too many blows from Albertazzi.

Neither Rossini nor Albertazzi has admitted this, but this does not prevent such rumors from continuing to spread.

Rossini, who switched to playing midfielder, started as an attacking midfielder, then gradually shifted his position back, and is now fixed in the position of organizing a defensive midfielder.

Unexpectedly, he played in this position instead, and his future is obviously much better than when he played as a striker.

If he continues to be a striker, he may not be able to play in Insubre.

After switching to play as an organizational midfielder, at the age of 20, he has already played in the first team of Insubre. After two seasons of experience, he has now become the core of the team's midfielder.

As a former striker, he has a speed advantage and has a certain ability to break through with the ball. After the position is retreated, he is given more space. Coupled with his long pass and vision, he is indeed more handy to play as a defensive midfielder.

Boyhood rivals he and Albertazzi reunited in the Italian national team.

The Italian media believes that the two of them will lead Italian football forward for at least ten years in the future. Italian football does not have to worry about having no successor after Caesar retires.

"His position is too flexible. When he retreats, neither Juan nor Joaquin can follow him out." There are also pirates' coaches who don't want to tease Rossini, because Rossini really brings them threatened.

"That's why we use 433. Vukovic goes up to match him, and Vukovic has defensive ability. He can help us limit Rossini." Hearing the coaches' comments, The first assistant coach Valentine turned to them and said.

An attacking playmaker, to do the defensive work.

It might be difficult to be replaced by others, it is "difficult for a strong man".

But when it comes to Vukovic, no one has any objections.

After training last season, Vukovic's defensive hardness has improved much compared to when he played in Wisedov.

He is getting closer and closer to the position of "all-around midfielder".

※※※

Rossini handled the ball in front of the back line, but this time he had just received the ball when he was pressed close by Vukovic.

The latter slammed into him fiercely. Rossini didn't expect Vukovic's impact to be so direct and powerful. He staggered and lost possession of the ball!

After Vukovic hit him, he quickly bypassed him, as if he knew that he would definitely lose the ball, and took the first step to control the ball.

The Madrid Pirates took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack amid the cheers of the home fans.

Insubre's midfielder Giuseppe Vicari rushed up in time to steal the ball.

He unceremoniously bumped into Vukovic ~lightnovelpub.net~ without knocking Vukovic off balance.

The latter swayed and staggered a little, and still controlled the football under his feet.

And when Vicari wanted to rush again, Vukovic had already passed the football, so he didn't entangle him too much.

After a few simple passes, the football fell to Hu Lai's side. He raised his left foot to shoot, but he just buckled the football to the right!

Insubre central defender Emile Mortensen, who rushed up to block his shot, was swayed by Hou Lai's dunk.

But Insubre's defense against Hu Lai is obviously not a one-shot deal.

Just after Hou Lai had just shaken Mortensen, another Insubre center back, Alessio Mattioli, appeared in time before him and kicked the football out!

The cheers in the stands stopped abruptly.

Eighteen minutes into the game, the score was still 0:0.

Neither side could score.

But the game has only just begun.
