Chapter 322: The Fight Begins at the Beginning

"Well, the final battle of this World Cup is about to begin. There is no doubt that this will be a typical spear-and-shield contest. No one would have thought that Italy would put up much in attack in this game. The only question is how much force and energy Portugal can devote to the attacking end. Don't do it like the French in the semi-finals, otherwise it's going to be another difficult night for us.

Now let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides, and there are no big surprises on the Portuguese side, who are still in a solid 4-2-3-1 formation. The focus is on Italy, aha, Italy, who had used six formations in the previous six games, changed the formation again in this game, 4-4-1-1, a defensive counter-attacking formation that is not surprising. Totti and Toney will carry the Italian offensive banner in this game, and hopefully they can perform well and not put too much pressure on their backline."

While the commentators were carefully introducing the starting line-ups of both sides, the pre-match ceremony on the field also came to an end, and the closing stage of the Portuguese national anthem was being played at this time, which would soon be over. Since the Italian national anthem is played first, as soon as the Portuguese national anthem is played, the pre-game ceremony is basically over, except for the removal of edges and photographing.

At the end of the song, the scene at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin burst into applause, and everyone was very excited about the upcoming decisive battle. Especially during this last bit of pre-game ceremonies, the irrepressible excitement was more like a little claw, scratching everyone's hearts and minds.

It's not just the fans. Even players who are used to seeing big scenes are no exception. Lao Lei, who has already experienced a final, is also a little quiet at this time. In order to calm yourself down as soon as possible. He also had to find a way to do something to divert his attention a little.

He's banging on the pitch. While waving his arms like a sledgehammer, he would take a few breaths from time to time, and he seemed to be warming up very seriously. But in fact, the warm-up has already been done under the supervision of the coaching staff, and doing these is just a means to regulate one's emotions. At this moment, Lao Lei suddenly felt as if he was overestimating his psychological quality, and his nervousness at this time was far more than his expectations.

It's a World Cup final! While secretly shaking his head and lamenting that his concentration and kung fu were not yet at home, Lao Lei could only express his amazement at the strong attraction of the World Champion title again. But. What makes Lao Lei gratifying is that the experience in 02 was not useless. He knew very well that his state at this time was much better than the situation when his whole body couldn't help trembling slightly.

Wait and so on, I've been in a World Cup final like this, but what about Italy?! Suddenly thinking of this, Lao Lei suddenly raised his head suddenly, and looked directly at the situation of the Italian player opposite, with a certain strong eagerness and expectation in his eyes. Obviously, at this glance he saw everything he wanted to see. The unconcealable surprise came to his eyes in the next moment, filling them almost as much as magma about to erupt.

Excited and eager, the fighting spirit is high, like a racing horse that can't help but start. Keep snorting, keep stepping on hooves, full of ambition. I'm going to fly with an excited look, that's the mental state of all the Italian players at this time. And old Ray on this. was ecstatic, it was like picking up a gold ingot on the ground. He didn't know that this was because of Lippi's pre-war motivation. It's still the spontaneous morale boost of the Italian players, anyway, he doesn't care about this, he only knows that Portugal's good chance is coming.

If the Italian defense was still so impregnable in his imagination, then now he feels that Portugal can have at least ten minutes to face an Italian defense that is out of character. And this time period is a good time for Lao Lei and his Portugal to take the lead in breaking the deadlock.

Missing such a good opportunity would be thundered, and Lao Lei didn't want to be struck by lightning, so he immediately made a move. Deco, Ronaldo, Pauletta, in the last few minutes before the start of the game, Lao Lei immediately found the main players of the Portuguese attack and conveyed his thoughts and arrangements to them.

At this time, his idea and arrangement were undoubtedly risky, and it was against Scolari's pre-match arrangement, but the result was undoubtedly adopted by these players, even Ronaldo, who was not very eye-to-eye with Lao Lei, only showed a slight look of surprise and did not show any objection. Lao Lei's influence in exchange for his incomparably successful and brilliant career is fully revealed at this moment.

Looking at the entire world of football, there are almost no careers as successful and smooth as Lao Lei. You must know that even those fans and media who are very hostile to Lao Lei sometimes have to reluctantly call him "Satan's darling" in private. If it weren't for that, they themselves couldn't explain that Lao Lei's career had no setbacks, and he had always been unimpeded. Faced with such a situation, they behave like their ancestors in ancient times, and when they can't explain things clearly, they lead to gods and ghosts.

Lao Lei's situation may not be explained too mysteriously, but an atmospheric fortune is always indispensable. Not to mention, such an explanation is still very bearable in the football world where all kinds of magic are rampant. After passing around like this, Lao Lei has formed a strange influence in the hearts of players and fans, similar to an adult version of Fu Doll.

Don't think this is fake, if it weren't for that, Lao Lei suddenly changed the behavior of the head coach's tactical arrangement at this moment, how could it be so easy to be executed. After all, Portugal is not a deformed place in China where the power of the team leader is greater than that of the head coach, and the authority of the head coach is still very large. No matter how powerful and influential the individual players are in the team, they can't brush the head coach's beard at will. And the reason why Ronaldo can do this very firmly is because they already have a deep impression in their hearts that they will eat meat by following Lao Lei.

Of course, it turned out that this was indeed the case, because when Portugal took the lead, Italy, which has always been steady, was really too excited as Lao Lei expected, and thus pounced too hard. Although he was not aggressive enough to press the whole court. But at least in the midfield, which is a battle-worthy place, the seasoned Italian players are still too frizzy. And that's for Old Ray and his Portuguese team-mates. It was enough for them to find holes in this not-so-stable line of defense.

If it's a team like Germany or England that doesn't pay much attention to the technique of the feet. Italy's exuberant and aggressive pressing may really have a certain effect. But in front of Portugal, which is delicate at the feet, this is obviously impossible, especially when the Portuguese team still has Lao Lei, a big killer who controls the field and the ball.

I really didn't expect it! In the first minute of the first half, after glancing at the completely deranged Italian player opposite, Lao Lei had to sigh again at the charm of the Hercules Cup. Just now, he just knocked the football to Costinha behind him with a light heel knock, and easily got rid of the bag and pressure of the Italian Pirlo, Gattuso, and Totti. In the original idea of the old ray before the race. It's simply incredible. You must know that at that time, he thought that Gattuso alone was enough to drink a pot of his own people, where did he think that at this moment, he could dodge the other party's pressure so easily.

After this, Lao Lei became more and more sure that the opening period must be a good time to beat the Italian team, and it is also the kind that cannot be more precious. In the face of this great gift from the Italians themselves, Lao Lei has no reason not to laugh. In his mind, he had a knife and fork ready, ready to start cutting the tough Italian steak.

In the 3rd minute of the first half. He finally got his hands dirty. At this time, Old Ray was waiting for Carvalho's pass with his back near the center circle. Perhaps, seeing that this pass is a bit far, and where is Lao Lei waiting. At this time, Gattuso, who was as excited as a bull with * hair, immediately rushed forward at full speed, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one. As soon as you look at the almost sprinting stance, you know that he doesn't leave any way back for himself at all.

It stands to reason. Gattuso, who has been in battle for a long time, should not have made such a mistake. But it's a pity that Gattuso at this time is not a normal Gattuso at all. He was so excited that he didn't realize that he had done something wrong and wrong. At this time, the football that was infinitely magnified in his eyes had blocked his rational thinking.

In the face of such an out-of-control Gattuso, it was too easy for Lao Lei to deal with. Listening to the small movement coming from behind him, Lao Lei couldn't help but bend a smug arc at the corner of his mouth, and at the same time, his left ankle immediately twisted, so that the football coming from the front hit the back heel of his left foot, and then bounced directly to the right back side of his body. At the same time, he himself used his right foot as the axis, turned abruptly, accelerated with all his strength, and shook Gattuso, who had snatched too hard, clean up at once.

By the time Gattuso realized something was wrong and braked in shock, it was too late. At this time, Gattuso is like a car that has lost control on the highway, although he has stepped on the brakes, his body is no longer under his control. After he regained control of his body, Lao Lei had already thrown him and didn't know where he went.

Perhaps because he didn't expect Gattuso to be so easily got rid of Lao Lei, the entire Italian defense line was collectively stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses in a panic and hurriedly came over to fill the position. But Lao Lei, who had already taken advantage of their stunned time to fully get up and down, how could it be so easy to stop.

In the face of Pirlo's supplemental defense, Lao Lei didn't bother to make any superfluous moves at all, and with a simple change of direction to accelerate, he directly wanted to eat Pirlo raw. Such an action may seem too simple, but considering his physique that he can't even hit when he stands here and lets Pirlo bump, Lao Lei feels that his extraordinary action is enough.

After resisting Pirlo's innocuous impact, Lao Lei was like the white-robed General Zhao of the Three Kingdoms, with the wind under his feet, and he unstoppably killed the Italian Chinese army. That great power immediately caused the entire Italian defense line to panic. The Italian fans also sent panicked boos at this time, in order to interfere with Lao Lei. For a while, everyone was shocked, they didn't expect such an excellent offensive opportunity to appear in front of Portugal in just 2 minutes of the opening game.

At the edge of the Italian penalty area, after shaking Camoranesi at a rapid pace, Lao Lei appeared directly in front of the Italian defender. This time, Materazzi also had to save immediately, although he knew that this would leave a huge passing space for Lao Lei. But all he could do was pray.

However, the agitation did not stay on his face for long, and soon the joy regained the upper hand. He didn't see Lao Lei passing, but saw that he kept rushing towards him with the ball. He's going it alone! Although he didn't know why Lao Lei was so impulsive and independent, Materazzi didn't care about this, he knew that the perfect turn for the better in this defensive crisis had appeared in his eyes. He was as tall as a giant bear, and without saying a word, he immediately took a few big strides to meet him, wanting to entangle Lao Lei immediately, and resolutely not give him any chance to handle the ball.

But soon, his joy was overshadowed by great panic and irritation. In the face of the tall and tall Materazzi, Lao Lei did not choose to come hard, but used ingenuity. It was another of his trademark Marseille slalom catches and backheel passes, playing the crotch of a tall defender like Materazzi.

"Oh! The ball is in! Unbelievable! Great opportunity! Great opportunity!! Cristiano - Shot! Ah, no!! What a pity! Gianluigi Buffon, who saved Italy once again, missed a golden opportunity to break the deadlock and they had a chance to get off to a dream start. What a pity! Reima's stunning long-distance run and assist came to naught"

"Hmm!"

"Oh!"

The joy of the Italians, the regret of the Portuguese fans, and the sighs of two distinct emotions, converged in the sky above the Olympic Stadium in Berlin at this moment, becoming a symphony of joy.

On the pitch, the emotions of the players are the same, with happy expressions staggered and distinct. However, Lao Lei is an exception, because he has no time to regret it, and the unexpected "guest" comes to the door.

After Ronaldo's shot was blocked by Buffon out of the bottom line, before Lao Lei hugged his head and regretted it, a heavy cold snort came to Lao Lei's ears.

When he looked up, he was immediately met with two cold gazes, which were full of fierceness and murderous aura, just like the gaze of an enraged giant bear.

Really! As soon as he saw that the owner of this gaze found him as expected before the game, Lao Lei immediately showed the smile that had been prepared for him a long time ago.

Disdain, cold disdain!

Taunts, cold taunts!

Maybe this is called same-sex repulsion, and the two will fight. (To be continued......)
