My uncle is Inzaghi

Why does qualifying after a draw always become the beginning of many tragedies?

Maybe that's why.

Qualifying after a draw will leave a little room for imagination, and it is easy for people to relax in terms of tactical choices and psychological levels.

Take for example the Italian team's match.

Unlike the Italian team.

Their opponent, Uruguay, is really standing on the edge of a cliff.

They must beat Italy to qualify.

If they draw, England and Costa Rica will be eliminated regardless of the result.

Want to qualify.

You must win!

therefore.

It's different from Italy.

Uruguay's players had the awareness to attack fiercely from the beginning.

therefore.

After the game starts.

The Uruguayans attacked in force.

Led by two top strikers in Suarez and Cavani.

Uruguay's offense is like a tide, one wave after another.

Even though the game was played in the Brazilian state of Amazonas.

But the Uruguay team, also a South American team, seemed to be playing at its home court.

Nineteenth minute of the game.

Uruguay scored.

The goal scorer is Suarez.

Suarez received the pass outside the penalty area and fired a volley without stopping the ball.

The football drew a very strange arc in the air and entered the goal from the upper left corner of the goal.

Facing such a world wave.

Even Buffon had no choice but to watch the football fly into the goal.

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!!! Suarez! Suarez! Suarez!! One to zero!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

In the commentary box.

The commentator from Uruguay was crazy.

They were dancing.

In the stands.

Uruguay fans jumped to their feet.

The famous Uruguayan football fan put his mobile phone between his breasts, waving his fists, and his breasts trembled, making the TV broadcast reluctant to switch back to the scene of Suarez's goal.

but no matter.

Italy lost the ball.

This makes the entire group's situation even more confusing.

Another arena.

England and Costa Rica are still zero to zero.

If it ends with this score.

The two teams that qualified were Uruguay and Italy.

Both Costa Rica and England will be eliminated.

And once Costa Rica and England decide the winner, Costa Rica wins, Costa Rica and Uruguay advance, England wins, they have to compete with Italy on goal difference.

Thus.

Fans of the four teams almost all raised their hearts at the same time.

"This is the World Cup!"

He Wei, the commentator of Longguo National TV Station, said with emotion.

"A few days ago, people were saying that Italy was the favorite to win the championship. A few days later, they will have to fight for their qualification. This is the World Cup, and every country's national team players will not have any reservations."

Liu Yang on the other side nodded and said: "Indeed, many people say that if we purely look at the technical and tactical level, maybe the Champions League does surpass the World Cup. The Champions League final may really be the highest technical and tactical game in the world, but when it comes to the competition, The intensity...the Champions League is far inferior to the World Cup!”

"Every player here is fighting for their country!"

‘The World Cup championship is every player’s dream! ’

Many Dragon Kingdom fans in front of the TV nodded.

really.

At least, in terms of the players' level of desperation.

The World Cup is a different level of competition than other competitions.

Uruguay's morale was greatly shaken after the goal.

The Italian side has not suffered much impact. They are still a relatively mature team.

Next, Italy continued to defend firmly and looked for opportunities to counterattack.

Uruguay is getting more and more excited as they play.

They seem to have forgotten.

The man in front of their defense is named Li Mo.

"Cavani! Shoot!!"

to the exclamations of the commentators.

Uruguay completed another shot, shot by their other top forward Cavani.

Simply looking at the configuration of the forward line.

Uruguay is definitely the top team among the thirty-two teams in this World Cup.

Suarez was the second-leading scorer in the Premier League last season.

The super striker who scored 32 league goals in the Premier League in a single season-if it weren't for Li Mo, Suarez would definitely be the most dazzling striker in the entire Premier League.

Cavani proved himself in Serie A, scoring 28 goals in a single season after moving to Paris Saint-Germain.

therefore.

Uruguay's offense is very strong.

about this point.

Italy's players know it.

Buffon directly caught Cavani's shot - the opponent's shot was a bit hasty, so he didn't have much energy.

Buffon was looking for someone as soon as he got the ball.

Who to look for?

Find Pirlo!

Let Pirlo launch the attack, this is Buffon's habit.

really.

As soon as he gets the ball.

Pirlo quietly ran to a neutral position.

Buffon didn't hesitate.

Throw the ball directly to Pirlo.

Pirlo stopped the ball.

By this time, two Uruguayan midfielders had pounced.

And Pirlo was looking for someone when he received the ball.

The first target he looked for.

It’s Li Mo!

really.

The first time Buffon threw the ball out of his hand.

Li Mo was already running forward!

Pirlo stopped the ball, adjusted, and before the opponent's defender came up, he kicked the ball with the outside of his instep!

The movements are very cool.

The football soared into the air.

It moved forward along the sideline, turned a corner in the air, and when it fell downward, it was already flying towards the inside line.

And this route happens to be right in front of Li Mo!

"plum!!"

the commentators exclaimed.

Uruguay's defender Godin rushed towards Li Mo immediately.

He was stuck on the line where Li Mo was most likely to cut in.

Godin is one of the most talked-about centre-backs in the world right now.

The Uruguayan captain is an important part of Simeone's Atletico Madrid's iron-blooded defense. He is an important contributor to Atletico Madrid's ability to break Barcelona and Real Madrid's monopoly on the La Liga championship. He is also a key player for Atletico Madrid to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League last season.

He's very fast.

But Li Mo is faster.

All this is due to Pirlo's precise passing.

The speed and line of his pass were just right, which allowed Li Mo not to need to decelerate. He just headed the ball a little and continued to accelerate forward.

Godin realized halfway through the rush that there was no way he could stop Li Mo.

So he stopped decisively and ran towards his goal.

At this moment.

Uruguay goalkeeper Muslera abandoned the goal.

The football was moving forward, and he looked like he had a chance to get the ball—or at least save it—before Li Mo touched it again.

But Li Mo's speed did make Muslera make a mistake in judgment.

He originally thought that Li Mo's speed was fast enough, and this must be the opponent's top speed.

But he didn't expect that.

The moment he struck out.

Li Mo

It can continue to accelerate!

Everyone saw Li Mo getting faster and faster.

His tall body looked like a speeding tank.

The tank reaches the speed of an F1 car

"careful!!!"

exclaimed the Uruguayan commentator.

Muslera, who struck out, thought he had a chance to get the ball.

But halfway through, he hesitated.

He didn't know whether he should continue to attack or go back to guard the goal.

Because if he fails to get the ball and is passed by Li Mo, then Li Mo will directly face the empty goal.

Muslera who hesitated was doomed to defeat.

As soon as he slowed down, Li Mo was keenly aware of the other party's hesitation.

Muslera hesitated, but he did not hesitate.

At this time the football has fallen from the sky.

The opponent's goalkeeper rushed out halfway.

How to deal with Li Mo is already very handy.

He raised his feet and wanted to cum!

But right now.

He found another figure!

It's Godin!

Godin rushed back to the goal line.

Li Mo, who discovered the new situation, also changed his tactics decisively.

He originally planned to sling the ball over the goalkeeper's head with the arch of his foot.

But it was discovered that Godin was rushing towards the goal line.

Li Mo directly fired a volley!

The football went flying with a thud.

For all to see.

The football flew over Muslera's head.

If it keeps flying like this.

The football's final destination must be over the crossbar and then flying into the stands.

but.

This is Li Mo's shot!

How could his shot be jerking off?

really.

to the cheers of Italian fans.

The football suddenly fell in the air.

It's like being on a jumping machine.

The football suddenly fell after flying to the top.

The falling football just missed the crossbar and went into the goal.

When the football hit the net.

Godin also swooped over.

He headed the ball upwards, but he was still too slow.

"The ball went in!!!"

The Italian commentator held hands, raised his arms and shouted.

The fans at the scene were completely excited. They hugged and cheered, while the Uruguayan fans who saw this scene were a little stunned.

Muslera turned his head and looked at the football behind him with a dull look on his face.

Godin fell from the sky and stared at the football blankly.

In that situation, in that way to complete the shot

that guy

Self-confidence is so strong!

Italy's players hugged each other to celebrate their goals.

The one-to-one score made them feel a little relieved.

But everyone knows it.

But we can’t give the Uruguayans another chance.

Next game.

After conceding the goal, Uruguay's morale was hit, and they failed to launch a very effective attack.

The Italian side is also quite cautious. They are very afraid of the striker composed of Suarez and Cavani.

Under the protection of both sides.

The first half of the game is over.

The two teams returned to the locker room with a score of one to one.

At this time, everyone also knew the score of the other stadium: Costa Rica led England 1-0 at halftime!

This result surprised many Italian players.

If England loses to Costa Rica, they will be eliminated!

For Italy, this result also means that they had better try to win Uruguay in the second half in order to secure first place in the group.

After all, the first and second place in the group are related to the opponents in the next quarter-finals.

Follow the rules.

The first place player in Group C will face the second place player in Group D.

The first place player in Group D will face the second place player in Group C.

The results of Group C are out.

The first place is Colombia, and the second place is Greece.

Ivory Coast and Japan were eliminated.

therefore.

If Italy tops Group D, they will face the Greek team in the knockout rounds, which is relatively weak and relatively familiar to them.

Winning the first place in the group is still very meaningful for Italy.

The schedule is so intensive.

If the quarter-finals can be a little more relaxed, it will also allow the players to consume less physical energy.

After the start of the second half.

Italy began to actively seek attack.

When faced with the opponent's active attack, the Uruguay team was also very polite. They defended directly and prepared to counterattack.

However, it turns out that when Uruguay started to think defensively, their crisis had already arrived.

Because they gave Li Mo too many times to get the ball.

Sixty minutes into the game.

Li Mo and Balotelli continued to play one-twos, and finally Balotelli's right-footed shot from the ribs of the penalty area was blocked by the goalkeeper.

This shot shocked the Uruguayan fans in the stands into a cold sweat.

Three minutes later.

Italy's attack came back with a vengeance.

Li Mo received Pirlo's direct pass in the frontcourt.

With his back to the direction of the attack, he completed an exquisite knock-on pass.

Li Mo's unexpected knock on the ball made the Uruguayan player who was guarding him unable to make a foul in time... After turning around, he could only watch Li Mo go away!

But he felt a little relieved that there were his teammates in front of Li Mo.

This time Uruguay did not leave a vast space in the backcourt for Li Mo to gallop.

After Li Mo turned around and broke through the Uruguayan player who was defending him, other Uruguayan players also rushed towards him, trying to block him out.

Li Mo faced the Uruguayan player who came up to defend him and accelerated to dribble the ball, so the player defending him also accelerated to chase Li Mo.

But Li Mo suddenly spiked the ball and made an emergency stop.

When the Uruguay players were stunned by his change of pace, he suddenly started to start again.

A change of pace allowed him to get out of the double-team defense situation and dribble the ball straight into the penalty area!

The other Uruguayan players rushed towards Li Mo and seemed to surround him.

Everyone felt that Li Mo's right approach was to pass the ball quickly.

But at this moment, Li Mo suddenly kicked the ball and shot. With almost no running space, this sudden shot made the Uruguayan players stunned. It was not until the football got out of the crowd that they finally Suddenly my scalp felt numb, this... this was a shot!

There are too many people in the penalty area.

Especially Li Mo was almost surrounded by everyone.

This resulted in Uruguay goalkeeper Muslera almost completely unable to see what Li Mo did.

When the football suddenly emerged from the encirclement, it was almost flying in front of him. Muslera relied on his body's instinct to make a save.

But he was unprepared and in a hurry, he didn't eject his body at all...

Although he stretched his arms, he was not able to touch the football.

The football flew past his fingertips, and then without any suspense... flew into the goal!
