We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 267 The Weakest World Cup Champion in History
With the referee's whistle, the match between Italy and South Korea officially began.

In the second minute, Italian midfielder Grosso made a quick attack on the Korean player, breaking through on the left and dribbling the ball before sending a through pass.

Italian star Balotelli, who got the chance to start, got the ball forward, shot hard in the confrontation on the left side of the penalty area, and directly broke through the South Korean goal, making a stunning debut!
One to zero, a dream start for the Italian team.

The Koreans were furious and began to attack fiercely, trying to equalize the score.

And used foul tactics many times to interrupt Italy's counterattacks.

Compared with the technical flow of the Japanese team, the Korean team pays more attention to physical strength and has stronger confrontation ability.

In the 14th minute, the Italian team crossed the half court through pass.

De Rossi made a long shot after making a run in, which was very threatening.

However, the South Korean goalkeeper was focused and successfully blocked the ball.

But Tony then made a follow-up shot.

Two to zero!
The South Korean team was in a tough fight.

In the 25th minute, Pirlo took a free kick in the frontcourt, and there was chaos in the South Korean team's penalty area.

The ball rolled to the right side of the penalty area, and Camoranesi made a powerful shot and won the game in the chaos.

Three to zero!
The South Korean team is not in a tough battle at all, they are clearly trapped in a pig-killing scheme.

All the fans watching the game were also surprised. When did the Italian team's attack become so fierce?
Is the South Korean team going to follow in the footsteps of the Japanese team and be beaten by a big score?

In the 38th minute, the dust settled.

The Italian team launched a counterattack after a steal in the backcourt. Young player Balotelli ran with the ball and broke into the dragon's den alone.

The South Korean defender tried to push him away, but ended up being bounced off instead.

The South Korean goalkeeper attacks.

Balotelli made a feint and used a move similar to that of a fried meatball to get past his opponent, then shot into the empty goal with his left foot from a small angle.

Four to zero!
The scene was in a state of excitement.

Balotelli has strength, speed, technique and brains. He can do anything!

mind:???
This summer, Manchester City signed Inter Milan's substitute striker for 30 million euros, but some Blue Moon fans did not agree with this.

Think it’s a loss.

It would be better to double down and compete with Chelsea for Agbonlahor.

But now it seems that it is hard to say how much Abanglaho is worth, but Balotelli is definitely worth 30 million euros.

At least I won't lose money on this deal.

In the 45th minute, Tony retreated and was brought down, and he asked for a mid-range free kick.

Pirlo scored directly with a lift ball.

He is one of the only two players in football who can consistently master the elevator ball.

The other is Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

At this point in the first half, the Italian team slaughtered the Koreans 5-0.

Korean friends can already turn off the TV in advance.

No team in history has ever successfully reversed a game with such a scoreline.

And the Italians sang and danced.

How holy and mighty!

He Sheng managed to turn the situation around when even Ka Sheng couldn't save the situation.

The key is that if you look at the scene, you don’t feel that the Italian team is the bottom team in the group.

In the second half, the Italian team was completely excited.

In the 53rd minute, Chiellini's symbolic long shot caused the opponent's goalkeeper to lose the ball, and the football finally entered the goal.

Six to zero!
The South Korean goalkeeper was obviously stunned.

The enormous pressure caused him to make serious mistakes.

In the 67th minute, Chiellini completed a steal in the midfield.

Pirlo received the ball and made a through pass.

Balotelli received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, dribbled past the opposing defender and shot.

But this time the opponent's defensive player kept up with the rhythm and raised his leg to block the ball.

Unfortunately, Balotelli's shot was too powerful, and the ball changed direction after encountering an obstacle, bouncing out in an arc, but its momentum did not stop and its speed was not slow.

The South Korean goalkeeper made a save at the first opportunity, but the ball just passed over him.

The football went into the net.

"GOAL! Seven to zero!"

"The biggest score of this World Cup has appeared!"

"This is a complete massacre!"

"Balotelli, who is only 20 years old, scored a hat trick, paying tribute to the King of Football, Pele! This is the youngest hat trick record in the World Cup after Pele!"

Balotelli conquered the audience with a siu celebration.

In the 74th minute, the Italian team was still beating the Koreans.

Acuna Iaquinta, who came on as a substitute, made a penalty.

Pirlo scored a penalty kick and scored his second goal, changing the score to 8-0.

This was also the final score of the game.

After this goal, He Tianqi used up all the substitutions and notified the Italian team to focus on self-protection and called off the game.

After all, they are already a group of old guys. If a few more of them are injured, they can be finished forever.

After the game, major media reported on this match in great detail.

Compared to the Japanese, the Koreans, who performed better, have become a bigger joke.

Sky Sports: "Compound interest, one goal a year! Eight years have passed since the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, and the Italian team has completed their revenge with eight goals!"

Bild: "He Tianqi's miraculous recovery has brought the Italian team back to its peak! Two big-score massacres may make them the most favorable contender for the World Cup!"

"France Football": "Balotelli is born. He is Tony's successor, the black version of Ibrahimovic, the iron-lifting version of Ronaldo, and the giant version of Messi!"

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Inter Milan's sale of Balotelli has laid the groundwork for the dynasty's decline. Mourinho has let go of a future striker!"

The Times: "Manchester City has found a treasure. Given Balotelli's performance, it would not be surprising if he is worth 100 million in the future!"

Balotelli has become a legend and famous all over the world.

Since then, the Italians have finally been able to get over the defeat eight years ago.

Because the Koreans paid a heavy price for the refereeing scandal.

……

On July 7, the first match of the World Cup semi-finals, Spain vs. the Netherlands.

In the end, thanks to the outstanding performances of Xavi and Fabregas, Spain defeated the Netherlands and advanced to the final.

It is expected to win the championship for two consecutive years.

Italy's opponent is Uruguay.

Before beating Japan and South Korea, the general public felt that the Italian team was hopeless.

But now, it is widely believed that Italy can beat Uruguay.

But Uruguay was also very brave this time, with Diego Forlan having a phenomenal performance.

For a time, Fran's battle with Toni and Balotelli became a huge highlight.

People speculated that this would be a goal-scoring battle.

The major bookmakers even took a total of four goals scored by both sides as a starting point.

It is rumored that some people even bet on the number of goals to exceed 100 in this game!
However, this game disappointed everyone.

Because the two top scorers in this game didn't score a single goal.

After 120 minutes, the score was still 0-0. Italy was in a state of decline.

If their defense hadn't maintained a very high standard, they might have been eliminated.

Fran's performance was truly amazing.

The two sides entered the penalty shootout.

Uruguay, which originally had the advantage, failed to seize the opportunity in the official match and suffered a backlash at this time.

Except for the first penalty scored by Fran, the second and third players' penalties were saved by Buffon who had been fully warmed up.

On the contrary, on the Italian team, Toni, Balotelli and Pirlo scored goals one after another.

In the end, with Buffon rejecting the Uruguayan player's penalty for the third time, the Italian team defeated Uruguay in a penalty shootout and reached the finals of the World Cup for two consecutive times!
Italy and Spain, the ultimate showdown!

Pressed duck fighting bullfighter.

One is the 2006 World Cup champion, and the other is the 2008 European Cup champion.

One is reaching the World Cup finals for two consecutive years, and the other is reaching the finals of two consecutive major tournaments.

One wants to defend the title and win two consecutive championships, while the other wants to achieve a Grand Slam in major tournaments.

The national team's version of Mars hitting the Earth attracted the attention of the whole world.

Major media outlets have conducted analysis.

But people are generally optimistic about Spain.

Clara from Global Viewpoint wrote a 10,000-word analysis: "Spain has defeated many strong teams along the way, and reaching this point is a reflection of its strength."

"Italy was almost eliminated in the group stage, and faced inferior teams like Japan and South Korea in the knockout stage. Uruguay, which was slightly stronger, immediately exposed its weakness and almost lost."

"This Italian team may be the weakest final team in the history of the World Cup!"

"To discuss the victory or defeat of the two teams, we have to mention one person... That's right, that's He Tianqi!"

"In fact, both national teams were deeply influenced by He Tianqi."

"The Italian team's main framework, central axis, three-line core, etc. were almost all created by He Tianqi."

"As for the Spanish team, although they chose the Barcelona framework in terms of tacit understanding, apart from Real Madrid, Barcelona is the team most influenced by He Tianqi."

"Many of their core players came from He Tianqi's Palermo, which brought about a qualitative change in Barcelona. In addition, Barcelona was also the most severely tempered by the Silver He Battleship in La Liga and made the greatest progress."

"So this is actually a World Cup final between He Tianqi and He Tianqi."

“But the difference is that Italy is too old and Spain is young.”

"If Italy is the 1.0 version of He Tianqi in the national team, then Spain is the 2.0 version of He Tianqi in the national team! Therefore, the Spanish team must win!"

The morale of the Spanish people therefore reached its peak.

But Barbara immediately hit back in Gazzetta dello Sport: "Spain does have an advantage over Italy in terms of lineup structure and tactics, but all this is based on the premise that Italy's head coach is Camignani."

"And now, He Tianqi himself is coaching the Italian team! This is the biggest confidence for the Italian team to win this game!"

“No matter what time it is, it won’t work if you meet a software developer!”

"He Tianqi will win!"

The morale of the Italian team also began to improve.

Fans of both sides fought fiercely on social media.

On July 11, the third place match between the Netherlands and Uruguay began.

The Netherlands team, with three goals from Robben, Van Persie and Sneijder, narrowly defeated Uruguay, who had two goals from Cavani and Forlan, and won the third place title.

On July 12, the World Cup final begins.

As Clara had expected, the Italian team was indeed old.

Throughout the 90 minutes, they were able to launch very few attacks and hardly threatened the Spanish team's goal.

But Barbara's analysis was not wrong. Although the Spanish team had a fierce attack, they were restricted by the high-quality defense of the Italian team and hardly created any real threats.

During regular match time, both sides shook hands and agreed to a 0-0 draw.

During the extra time, the Italian team completely gave up attacking.

He Tianqi even replaced Balotelli and Luca Toni, leaving the team with no striker on the field and playing a strikerless formation!

However, as a result, Italy's situation in overtime was better than in the regular season.

Because the Spanish team is facing a physical crisis.

The overly young lineup and overly outstanding results made this group of young people overly excited.

The Spanish team did not know how to allocate their energy properly and their offensive power waned in overtime.

The situation changed from a 70:30 suppression to a 50:50 balanced situation.

In the 117th minute, when both sides were considering the order of appearance in the penalty shootout, something unexpected happened.

Camoranesi, who came on as a substitute, counterattacked with the ball on the right. After crossing half court, he was double-teamed by more than four Spanish players.

Xabi Alonso poked the ball away and it landed at the feet of young midfielder Marchisio who came on as a substitute.

Marchisio's heel was smooth, and Chiellini passed the ball directly to De Rossi who was also in front.

De Rossi passed the ball to Grosso on the left and continued to move forward.

Grosso crosses the ball.

Spanish center back Pique made a mistake in clearing the ball and it bounced to De Rossi's feet at the top of the arc.

After receiving the ball, De Rossi saw Marchisio advancing to the right side of the penalty area and made a through pass.

Pique stood up and chased after Marchisio. Marchisio was a little nervous and the ball bounced up when he stopped.

But it was this one that played a crucial role.

Because Pique was lagging behind, he used his long legs to make a tackle.

If the ball had stopped on the ground, Marchisio's shot would have been blocked.

But the ball flew.

and so……

boom!
Marchisio volleyed the ball before it even landed.

The football almost brushed Pique's toes and flew out.

Swish!
Hang the net directly.

Casillas is powerless to save the situation!
"GOAL! The ball goes in! One to zero!"

"Marchisio! The goal was scored by Marchisio!"

"Smooth teamwork, from front to back and left to right, the Italian team cooperated seamlessly!"

"The winning goal! Italy's young midfielder Marchisio scored the winning goal!"

"The midfield star from Palermo killed the game!"

"Spain attacked wildly throughout the game, but unexpectedly, the Italian team without a striker scored first!"

"There's not much time left for the Spanish team!"

A few minutes later, as the referee blew the whistle three times, the Spanish players fell to the ground and cried.

"Incredible! The Italian team has created a miracle again!"

"They become the third team to successfully defend the title, the first being Italy in 1934 and 1938, and the second being Brazil in 1958 and 1962!"

“But Italy’s two victories were both extremely difficult!”

"Four years ago, the Serie A Calciopoli scandal was exposed by He Tianqi, and Italian football entered its darkest hour! Coupled with the aging of the team, their chances of winning the championship are outside the top ten!"

"However, they managed to defeat powerful opponents along the way and incredibly lifted the World Cup!"

"Four years later, the situation of the Italian team is even worse. Serie A is no longer the center of world football. The new generation of the Italian team has died one after another. The aging of the lineup is even worse than four years ago, and the overall strength of the team is even weaker!"

"However, with their incredible luck, they repeatedly encountered weak teams. When everyone thought they had made it to the finals by surviving, they used their strength to show everyone that as long as your tactics are good enough, you can still win the championship by surviving!"

"Congratulations to the Italian team! Congratulations to He Tianqi!"
