PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

Due to Vieri's statement before the start of the game, when the game officially started with the referee's whistle, the Italian players were still very cautious on the court and did not launch a fierce attack at the beginning because of the pressure of qualifying in the group. After all, the result of this game was related to Italy's qualification for qualifying, so they couldn't help but be careful.

Compared with the careful Italians, Mexican players seemed much more active on the court. The forward line composed of Borgette and "Leaping Prince" Blanco was extremely active from the beginning of the game with the support of the midfielder composed of Morales, Arerano, Torado and others, and was constantly looking for a fatal opportunity in the Italian penalty area.

It's no wonder that who made Mexico score six points in the first two group matches? The current qualifying situation is extremely beneficial to them. As long as they tie, they can advance to the eighth-finals as long as they tie it? Furthermore, although Mexican players have good physical fitness and awareness, they often prefer to attack freely and use their skills to play with their opponents, rather than huddling in their own half to play their opponents' defensive counterattacks. Otherwise, Blanco would not have made such an amazing move as "frog jumping over" in the French World Cup. Therefore, it is natural that Mexican coach Aguire lets the players take the initiative in this game.

Facing the seemingly endless offensive of Mexican players, the Italian players did not feel any panic. Under the command of Maldini and Nesta, they quickly set up many defense lines in their own half, blocking the opponent's attack while looking for an opportunity to launch a quick counterattack.

Italy was lucky. Just two minutes after the start of the game, they got a good counterattack opportunity: Morales accidentally fouled when defending Zambrota who dribbled the ball and gave Italy a free kick near the right sideline. Albertini, who was responsible for taking the penalty, drove the ball into the crowd and was headed by the Mexican defender. Pirlo, who was outside the penalty area, drew a beautiful arc ball without anyone being disturbed!

Unfortunately, although the football shot by Pirlo bypassed Oscar Perez's fingers, it hit the right post on the goal and bounced out of the bottom line, unfortunately failing to score the first record for Italy.

After escaping by chance with the help of the goal post, the Mexican player who was shocked and sweated in cold sweat quickly returned to his face. Arellano made a forcibly cross under the control of Maldini. Borghetti, who was supporting the middle, headed while running, although bypassed Buffon's blockade, Cannavaro, who returned to defend in time, cleared the ball on the goal line!

Since both teams almost scored goals in their first tentative offense after the opening, players on both sides seemed more cautious on the court in the following game, and they were both worried that they would give their opponents a chance to score due to their negligence.

In this stalemate, the midfield foursomes of Toti, Pirlo, Diviagio and Albertini began to play their role. Although they were one less player in terms of number of players than Mexico, which mainly played in the three or five two formations, they were not inferior to the opponent's technical level and a more team-based way of playing football. They also had a view of being significantly better than the opponent, allowing Italy to gradually gain an advantage in the midfield confrontation.

Finally, at the 26th minute of the game, Italy, which had the initiative in the game, began to attack the Mexican goal under the dispatch of Pirlo, Albertini and others!

Seeing Pirlo dribbled the ball across the midfield line, Torado immediately rushed towards him, trying to use his physical advantage to grab the ball. In Torado's eyes, although the Italian team's No. 21 skills are good, his thin figure should be a guy who is easy to deal with. At least in terms of strength and physical confrontation, this guy will definitely not be his opponent.

However, Torado underestimated Pirlo. You must know that Pirlo has always grown up under the targeted training of Fiorentina in this life. The training plan tailored by Mullensten and Moniz for him has made his outstanding football talent well developed. He did not have to waste a long time in his long loan career because he did not get the chance to play in his previous life. Therefore, Pirlo is now much stronger than in the same period in history. It is obvious that a Torado is impossible to be his opponent!

Although Pirlo still cannot fight against his opponent head-on like Gattuso and others, and can only rely on his predictions to defend or help his teammates to defend, he has made great progress in physical fitness, which is enough to allow him to run for 90 minutes in the game without a physical crisis.

Not to mention the offensive and organizational abilities. Although Fiorentina has been out of four major roles this season, Pirlo's ability has been unanimously recognized by people, believing that he is enough to take over the mantle of Redondo, a midfield artist, but he still lacks stability. Otherwise, Pirlo, who became famous at a young age, would have been among the top international midfielders long ago.

Therefore, facing the aggressive Torado, Pirlo, who was in a very good condition, was not in a hurry. He was extremely smart and did not choose to engage in too much physical entanglement with the opponent. Instead, he played a standard two-pass and one cooperation with Albertini, and got rid of the entanglement of the Mexican midfielder as quickly as possible, and seized the space exposed after the opponent robbed and sent a precise straight pass!

At this time, Da Inzagi, who discovered the opportunity, rushed out of the corner that was not noticed very quickly. Before Raphael Max cleared the ball, he received Pirlo's scalpel-like pass at the top of the penalty area in Mexico!
