Chapter 305 Advantages and Initiative(1/2)

Pirlo never expected Morris to be able to cut the ball off, and the consequence of being intercepted was that the England team quickly counterattacked.

The Italian team's offensive just now was a little forward. Forward Casano and Balotelli all ran to the penalty area, and other midfielders De Rossi also inserted. Even the central defender Bonucci ran to the front and was about to pick up Pirlo. It was too late to run back.

England's counterattack began.

Morris passed the ball to Velbeck, and he ran forward quickly. Velbeck received the ball and quickly led forward. After a few steps, he saw someone coming to defend, and immediately passed the ball across and handed it to Ashley Young.

Ashley Young had another prequel, and when Morris received the ball, he had already run to the front of the penalty area.

The game became tense!

There are only two players in Italy who can limit defense in the backcourt, one is central defender Barzali and the other is full-back Hazard. They have to face at least two opponents - Morris and Rooney, followed by Ashley Young and Pirlo. They are pulled in the back and it is difficult to support them in the front.

The frontcourt is in a situation of 2 against 2.

The offensive side is undoubtedly very favorable. Morris dribbled the ball and continued to rush forward. His position was still a little farther back, so it was difficult to directly choose to shoot. Central defender Barzali had come to defend. At the same time, Rooney had already run across the penalty area line, and he was surrounded by full-back Hazard.

Almost all cameras point to Morris.

"Morris is in possession!"

"England's counterattack was very fast, and Italy had no time to react!"

"Barzali is defending, he tries to stop Morris..."

Amid the shouts of the commentators, everyone watched the confrontation between Morris and Barzali.

Barzali was a Rossi-style center in the early stages of his career and then played in the midfield. He was not later trained to become a central defender at the Chevo Verona Football Club.

Barzali, who entered the national team from Sicily, was not smooth sailing. In the 2018 European Cup, he replaced Cannavaro who was injured before the game. As a result, Italy was defeated by the Netherlands by three goals. Although he was the veteran Matrazi, he was still abandoned by the angry head coach Lippi. It was not until January last year that he was favored by Plandelli and entered the Italian national team with the entire Juventus defense line.

Barzali is Italy's main central defender, but his ability has been questioned.

This time Barzali came to defend Morris, which is also a very important opportunity to prove himself. He is still very experienced in defense. He does not directly observe football. He has been observing Morris' entire movement, especially shoulder movements, which directly reflects a player's breakthrough chart direction.

When he saw Morris push the ball forward, Barzali swinged his right foot.

Barzali's judgment is very accurate!

But Morris' explosive power was completely beyond his expectations. Morris rushed forward and stabbed the ball before Barzali. Barzali's right foot only touched Morris' toes.

Suddenly Morris' center of gravity was a little unstable.

Both of them were in a mess. Barzali fouled, but Morris did not fall directly to the ground. He knew this was a good opportunity, much better than the set ball on the outside.

Morris forced his body to adjust his balance and squeezed towards Barzali. Barzali was already a little unstable and was directly squeezed to the ground by Morris. At the same time, Morris's body stabilized. Barzali quickly raised his hand to signal the opponent to foul, but the referee did not suspend the game.

The whole audience was in full bloom!

This is a great opportunity!

"Moris! Morris! He shook Barzali away!"

"This is a foul!"

"Danger!"

"Good opportunity for England! Let's see...Moris..."

Everyone in the audience became nervous.

In the England coaching bench, Wan Sheng had already stood up. He looked at Morris' dribbling and his heart was full of expectations.

The game is very difficult!

In Wan Sheng's opinion, it is much more difficult to play Italy than Spain. The Netherlands, although many media believe that Italy's strength is not as strong as Spain and the Netherlands, but Italy's style is more conservative, and it is not easy to break through Italy's defense line.

This is the best chance since the opening.

"Morris! Single shot!"

Morris chased the ball and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Goalkeeper Buffon attacked. This was a one-on-one strike and no one else could stop him.

It was a difficult test for Buffon.

As one of the world's top goalkeepers, Buffon's excellence is beyond words. Although he is 34 years old, Buffon's condition is still the same and his performance is even more dull.

Facing Morris's single strike, he decisively chose to attack the moment the opponent chased the ball, and at the most appropriate position, he opened his arms to cover the goal, and at the same time flew forward with both feet.

Any frontcourt player will be under pressure to face Buffon's attack, after all, he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Morris didn't panic.

He has always been calm, which is one of the reasons why Wan Sheng values ​​him. Wan Sheng never has to worry about Morris' performance in the game.

Just as Buffon saved the ball, Morris waved his right foot.

"Shot"

Many commentators shouted out at the first time, and there was also a burst of exclamations in the audience, but the next moment, everyone saw that the football did not rush towards the goal.

Morris chose to swing the ball to the side, then quickly turned around and rushed forward.

"Morris shook Buffon away..." Even the Italian commentator was very surprised. There were not many players who dared to make such moves when facing Buffon directly in the official game.

Morris was very fast. He had already completed the turn before Buffon rushed to the ground. Buffon rushed in front of him, but he turned to the left first.

This step is a natural barrier!

Buffon had no chance to defend the goal anymore, and he could only watch Morris push the ball into the empty goal.

"g1!!!" The moment the football flew into the goal, the English commentator shouted excitedly, "Morris! Morris! He drifted past Barzali, drifted past Buffon, and sent the ball into the empty goal with a push shot!"

"Buffon was completely deceived by him!"

"The ball is in! Morris! 1-0! England leads Italy by 1 goal!"

At the moment the commentator shouted excitedly, the whole English fans were excited. They were extremely excited about England's goals and were excited to see Morris's personal performance again.

This is the perfect show!

Morris and Barzali collided, Morris and Buffon clashed, and he successfully drifted past two people and pushed the ball into the empty goal.

"This goal demonstrates Morris's superb skills, and Barzali's defensive judgment is accurate, but he does not have Morris' explosive power and body, and he is even hit to the ground directly. Facing Buffon, the number one goalkeeper in Italy and even the world, Morris calmly completed the change of direction, deceived the opponent and sent the ball into the goal!"

"Moris defeated the Italian central defender and defeated the Italian goalkeeper!"

"This is Morris! The core of Atletico Madrid, the 2oo8 Golden Globe winner, a 34-year-old veteran, he is also the absolute core of England!"

"Many people say that the English team lacks skills, but the premise is that except for Morris, Morris is definitely one of the best skilled players in the world..."

Since Morris' goal, the commentators have been talking. They analyzing the goals from all angles and constantly praising Morris.

This goal is so beautiful!

The moment the football flew into the goal, the audience burst into the air, and local neutral fans of Ukraine also began to cheer for the goal.

For neutral fans, the most important thing is the exciting game.

The previous match between Italy and England was boring, but this goal was enough, and they saw a solo performance of a class star.

Watching the England celebration, the Italian players were silent.

Pirlo had a cold face.

Before the game, the media were hyping up his opponents with Morris. In front of teammates, media and fans, Pirlo didn't care about his performance at all. It seemed that Morris had nothing to do with him, and he didn't even know the name, but in fact, he still cared very much in his heart.

Morris is very, very good!

Like him, Morris is a core midfielder and an all-round player. He is extremely important in his respective teams. The two are also the most core players in England and Italy, but in terms of assists and goal data, Morris is much better than him.

Pirlo doesn't think he is worse than Morris.

Those goals, assists and other data do not indicate a player's contribution to the team. If you just say that, the defender's players will have almost no contribution.

In this direct confrontation, Pirlo also hopes to prove that he is better than the opponent.

But England's counterattack just now seemed to directly prove the comparison between the two. Pirlo even felt that his teammates looked at him with distrust.

He conceded the ball.

The opponent completed the steal, started a quick counterattack, and scored a goal with a personal performance.

The other party is the one who performs well, and he is the one who performs poorly. Pirlo can even think of what the media will say after the game-

"Moris vs. Pirlo, win!"

"The direct confrontation proves Morris' excellence, it's not just a matter of data!"

"This is Morris! Pirlo? Who is he?"

The media always writes these annoying titles, and Pirlo is very dissatisfied. He grits his teeth and vows to prove himself well, not only to justify himself, but also to the entire Italian team. He hopes that the team can achieve good results in the European Cup, otherwise he will have to stop in the quarterfinals.

Italian head coach Plandley's face was a little unfavorable.

He knew that England was not easy to play, but he didn't expect it to be like this. In the previous game, both sides played evenly. Italy had no advantage and the opponent had no advantage.

But by chance, the opponent scored a goal.

Pirlo was intercepted and the opponent made a quick counterattack. The opponent's core player performed well and even shook the goalkeeper Buffon away.

The next game...it's hard to play!

Plandelli knew very well that when playing against England, which team scored first would have an advantage, because both sides were on defense.
To be continued...
