Just like the arranged four-player mahjong. Chiellini, Buffon, Pirlo, Ronaldo and others are all looking forward to the final for the first time.
Everyone has a first time, and it may very well be the only time in life.
But if you want this first time, you must first get through the semi-finals.
The semi-finals are filled with the most powerful stars today.
Italy's success is not due to Chen Long. It truly belongs to every player in Italy. Chen Long just defeated the Netherlands in the last game.
Without the perseverance of my teammates, we wouldn’t be where we are now.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are the top scorers of their respective national teams. Leaving them is equivalent to dropping down a level.
On the contrary, the Brazilian team is quite balanced. Although Ronaldo plays a very important role in the team, other players can also make up for it well. Ronaldo, in particular, does not have the physical strength to play the full 90 minutes, so he often comes on as a substitute or starts for about 60 minutes.
Before the game, Luo and Luo gathered their friends together for a meal, and Chen Long and Messi were naturally invited to attend.
Of course, they are not brave enough to drink, otherwise they will be scolded as sinners through the ages.
This is a special phenomenon. It is rare that opponents sit together before such an important battle.
"Long, is there something wrong with you? The last game was so dangerous, but you only came on at the last moment." Ronaldo not only has a strong sense of shooting, but he is also very vicious in guessing other people's thoughts.
Chen Long's expression was calm. He knew that someone would always ask this, but at least he couldn't let everyone know at this time.
"Oh no, am I being lazy? Italy is actually very strong. You see, after playing so many games, they have never lost. I want to play longer. That is so unfair to everyone. I don't want to let myself suffer. Rafting on the Amazon River…”
"It's best if you don't do it the day after tomorrow, I'm really happy with it!" Messi swallowed the food and answered vaguely.
Of course he wanted Chen Long to stop playing. If he didn't play, Argentina would be in trouble.
"It's best not to go up. We may already be ahead by then. What am I going to do?"
"Xiaosan, please stop dreaming. Portugal has come to an end. The semi-finals are the best for you." Ronaldinho turned the topic to Ronaldo.
Nowadays, everyone likes to call Ronaldo Xiaosan. That’s because everyone calls Ronaldo, but the problem is that Ronaldo is Ronaldinho, ranking third, so Xiao** simply gave him a new nickname, which is Xiaosan...
It didn't matter that he was doing this, but he was also involved in it.
"Second brother... keep a low profile..." Ronaldinho is the most useful, Ronaldinho is his second child, and Cristiano Ronaldo is his third child. "Brothers, have you received any weird calls recently?"
Da Luo is an old man, so when everyone heard this topic, they all became a little wary.
You would be a fool if you didn't understand what he meant.
Weird phone calls are naturally threats to them.
"I didn't..." Ronaldo was the first to respond, with a very calm expression.
Da Luo glanced at his face and found that it was not fake, and then laughed: "Of course you are, because we are the ones who entered the finals..."
"I got it... But they asked me to go out for Brazilian barbecue..." Chen Long was very relaxed, thinking that it was just a call from a gambling group. I was numb. Fortunately, the phone was not turned on, and they couldn't find it even if they wanted to. When I arrived, Louis XIV sent a few text messages, but he didn't reply.
"You still want to find a Brazilian girl? Forget it, your five wives will definitely cut you into pieces when you get home. I'm serious. If you receive such a call, you must hang up immediately. It's the best recently. Don’t turn it on, and remind your teammates, otherwise you will regret it if you do something wrong.”
Da Luo warned in a serious tone, Maung seemed to feel a little heavy in his heart.
Why does this sound so sad? Could it be that he received it in 1998, and then...
Chenlong was very vigilant. If he hadn't been so familiar with them, he would have been really afraid that the food he was eating might have been drugged.
"I won't go into details. Anyway, just be careful. I hope we can all give a wonderful game during the game... "
Perhaps Da Luo felt that the topic was indeed too heavy and did not continue.
It is quite terrifying to say that Ronaldo was the only player to participate in the 1998 World Cup. Such a legend can only be achieved by aliens...
After eating, everyone had to run back to the hotel and lock themselves up. At this time, nothing could go wrong, and going out to eat was already quite dangerous.
Prandelli convened an impromptu coaches meeting, and Chen Long also attended.
When Chen Long arrived, Prandelli was frowning.
"What's going on? You're looking like this. Are you crazy because you haven't seen a woman for a few days? You have to be careful. If you dare to take the lead, the players will probably follow suit." Chenlong and Pulande He was joking, no matter how big or small.
Prandelli was really amused when he saw Chen Long.
The reason why he laughed was not because he laughed at Chen Long's jokes, but because he saw Chen Long as his savior.
"How should we play the day after tomorrow? Argentina's offense cannot be blocked."
"Even the Netherlands, which has a balanced offense and defense, has been driven away by everyone. Argentina, which is strong in offense and weak in defense? Who else besides Messi? This is far worse than Barcelona. You know, Italy is at least half of Juventus. , only they are afraid of us, there is no reason for us to be afraid of them.”
I have to say that Chenlong's mentality is much better than Prandelli's.
Chenlong is finally at the top of football, Prandelli? As a head coach, even the semi-finals of the World Cup feel like a dream. World Cup champion? It was a victory that he had only dreamed of winning.
"As long as there is no problem with our defense, we will be in an invincible position. Messi is very difficult to deal with. Not only can we defend, but we must also improve the quality of our offense. The performance of those little guys is very important. Especially Chopper. Chopper's breakthrough played a big role. He is the Messi of Italy... Chopper will do whatever Messi does. We must not let the Argentines relax. We must put our trust in Joe. bar!"
Chen Long has already thought about it. If he is not on the court, the most trustworthy person is Chopper. Chopper will not lose to Messi. He firmly believes in this.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. This is true in Italy, and it is also true in Argentina.
At this time, Messi also joined the coaching staff's tactical meeting.
"Chen Long must have only appeared at the last moment. Italy was in such a dangerous situation in the last game, and he didn't even plan to play. In my opinion, it's not that they have any great tricks, but that there is something wrong with Chen Long, and it's definitely It’s not easy. Who doesn’t want to play more games? But instead of improving his playing time, Chen Long loses playing time. This is definitely not easy.”
This was what Messi said. If Chenlong heard it here, he would definitely give Messi a thumbs up. He would be surprised that Messi's guess was so accurate.
The Brazilian team is the most relaxed. In their view, the goal of the national team is to win the final championship. Any obstacles will eventually be swept away, and there is no other choice.
And it turns out how strong the Brazilian team is.
After playing against Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo once again experienced the loneliness of being alone. A good woman cannot make a meal without rice. If Cristiano Ronaldo is surrounded by so many strong teammates like the Brazilian team, then maybe Portugal can reach the final
It's a pity that behind his lonely figure, there are only a group of teammates who are even more lonely.
Everyone tries their best, but just trying your best does not mean you will succeed, at least in football.
The game between Italy and Argentina was exactly what Chen Long said before the game. It was a duel between Chopper and Messi, not Chen Long.
Messi is not impossible to defend. At least in front of Italian players, this guy is not so abnormal that he cannot defend. Otherwise, Messi would not have only scored one goal in two World Cups.
However, in this World Cup, Messi has scored six goals, sweeping away the decadence and uselessness of the previous two tournaments.
However, when facing Italy, Messi still misfired...
Italy's chain defense is well-deserved.
There is only one star in the world who needs other teams to develop defensive tactics for him, but it is not Messi.
Italy's preparations have never centered on Chen Long, because Chen Long is not the core at all, he is just a substitute...
He is the most powerful super substitute in the world.
The heart of Italy is Choppa…
If the team is missing a strong main player, then the tactical play may be greatly affected, but Italy has no injured players.
"It's really unimaginable that Chen Long doesn't even have to play!" After the game, Messi slumped on the turf depressed and muttered to himself.
This time, he was no longer hiding in Maradona's arms and crying like he did last time. He had experienced enough in the past four years, and he was much less optimistic about failure and glory. The only thing missing was the World Cup.
But despite his best efforts, he still couldn't touch the edge of the trophy...
Only then did people discover that Italy without Chenlong was actually absolutely powerful!
Chen Long was snickering. He had been preparing for all this for a full year.
In order to allow his teammates to successfully advance to the finals, he would go back to Italy for training for a few days every month, with the purpose of training a strong Italian team.
The Italian team, which did not have Chen Long but was still strong, sent Argentina home without him even playing.
"We were all fooled. This Italy, at the start of the match, was basically pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!" Mesenes, the head coach of the Brazilian team, pointed out the terrible thing about Italy in the tactical meeting.
"This Italian team, even without Chen Long, is still on par with us..."^-^^-^
