My uncle is Inzaghi

Confederations Cup, four games, six goals scored.

Li Mo's crazy performance allowed him to successfully overtake Neymar and take the top spot on the scorer list.

at the same time.

As the hosts were eliminated from the tournament.

Now the focus of the entire Confederations Cup has become Li Mo.

The media in Italy and China were frantically reporting on his crazy state.

Such a crazy state will definitely not be ignored by Italy's opponent in the final, Spain.

Talk about it.

The players in the Spanish team know Li Mo quite well - because this Spanish team is basically a combination of Spanish players from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

For example, in their defense, the goalkeeper is Casillas, the substitute goalkeeper is Valdes, the center backs are Pique and Ramos, the left back is Alba, and the right back is Arbeloa.

The midfielder is Barcelona's midfield combination, Busquets, Xavi, and Iniesta.

In these games, the only regular starter who is not a player from Real Madrid and Barcelona is Mata from Chelsea.

Last season, Li Mo led Arsenal to eliminate Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League. This team's mortal enemy became the soul of Li Mo. Of course, they knew Li Mo very well.

Having said that, Mata was also impressed by Li Mo. Chelsea was double-killed by Li Mo last season.

So on the Spanish team, the player they discussed the most among their final opponents was none other than Li Mo.

Del Bosque and his coaching staff are very familiar with the Italian team.

Because this team was their opponent in the European Cup final last year.

In fact, if you don't count Li Mo.

The strength of this Italian team seems to have declined - because their main players are one year older.

In addition, Cassano and Prandelli had a falling out, and the most threatening forward player in the Italian team was unable to participate in the national team.

therefore.

No matter how you look at it, Italy seems to be going downhill.

They were unable to defeat Spain in the European Cup final. In the Confederations Cup final, Spain's advantage may be even greater.

But now this Italian team is different.

They have Li Mo.

One Li Mo brought earth-shaking changes to the Italian team.

This is no exaggeration.

But there is data to prove it.

Italy is already very good at defensive counterattacks, but before that, their forwards were not strong enough to seize opportunities. Therefore, if Italy's defensive counterattacks failed to score goals, they had to press forward, and in the end they lost in a way they were not good at. Contest.

Now, Li Mo's presence is the biggest source of confidence for other players in the Italian team.

As long as Li Mo is given a chance to shoot, this young man can always score - his scoring efficiency is also here. Last season, he scored 37 goals in the Premier League and 17 in the Champions League. Goal, that’s proof!

How should we contain such an all-around center who seems to be able to do everything?

After much thought, Bosque still believes that the best way to contain such an efficient forward is to cut off his connection with the midfield and backfield.

But how to cut off the connection between Li Mo and the midfielder and backfield?

This is another headache.

After all, Li Mo's ability to catch long passes from the backfield is also superb.

Research and research.

Bosque almost wanted to curse.

What kind of bad luck did Italy have in finding such a perverted center who can be used for fifteen or sixteen years?

With Li Mo here, Italy will not need to worry about the center position in the next fifteen or six years.

What about Spain?

Torres is reduced to an iron guard, Villa is old and exhausted, and Morata has both inverse feet.

Although Spain's midfielder is very strong, if there is no suitable forward, will Spain rely on the midfielder to score goals?

Just as the coaching staffs of both sides were preparing for the final.

The Spanish media also paid close attention to this game.

Winning this Confederations Cup event will undoubtedly give the Spanish media and fans greater confidence in Spain's prospects for next year's World Cup.

Winning the World Cup and European Cup one after another has made Spanish fans extremely confident.

Think their team has a good chance of defending the World Cup title.

As for Italy.

Last year, when people mentioned Italy, they always associated it with "out of business" and "too old".

There really aren't many impressive new players in Italy in recent years.

But Li Mo's joining made people look at Italy differently.

Especially in the Confederations Cup, they defeated Brazil 3-1, which made people even more impressed by Italy's ability, especially the improvement in the offensive line brought by Li Mo.

Before the game, Del Bosque told his players: "We must be very alert to Li Mo's presence and we must not allow him too many opportunities to pass the ball from the backcourt!"

Ramos met Li Mo again.

He swore that he was fully prepared before the game to fight hard when facing Li Mo.

He and Pique shared their experience in dealing with Li Mo, and also had full communication with his teammates in the defense and midfield. In order to deal with Italy's forward line, they mainly focused on ball control with me as the main force. tactics.

The Spanish team's ball possession rate after the opening game once climbed to 80%!

but now.

Their opponents are celebrating a goal.

It was Verratti who celebrated the goal.

The person who will assist him is Li Mo.

When the goal just happened, Spain's defense faithfully fulfilled the task assigned to them by the coaching staff before the game: defend Li Mo to the death!

Balotelli was injured, and he was watching this game from the stands. Moreover, the Italian side directly chose a 4321 Christmas tree defensive counterattack formation for this game, and Giaccherini partnered with Verratti in the attacking midfielder.

Giovinco sat on the bench.

Li Modan forward.

Under such a situation, Spain seems to only need to guard against Li Mo, while Italy has no offensive power at all.

So that's what they did.

Moreover, Pique and Ramos were quite successful. They did not give Li Mo a chance to shoot. Li Mo got the ball in the frontcourt, but was unable to turn around.

But who knows.

Li Mo did not turn around, but suddenly moved the ball horizontally, and Verratti came up and kicked it.

In an area about twenty meters away from the goal, the football flew close to the ground and towards the lower right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Casillas had no time to react and the ball had already entered the goal.

Sixteen minutes of the first half.

Spain lags behind.

This made Spanish fans a little stunned.

Because before that, Spanish commentators were still shouting "Spain is not far from scoring a goal."

No one expected that Italy would score suddenly.

"This is Italian football!"

Zhang Jun sighed.

"In the first sixteen minutes, Spain had the absolute upper hand. The midfield control of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets was really amazing. But Italy seized the opportunity to counterattack and the ball Just got in!!”

"Several players on the Spanish defense were staring at Li Mo. However, Li Mo did not choose to do it himself this time, but instead set up a cannon for Verratti."

While the commentators were talking, the camera showed the depressed Ramos and Pique.

Although they were fully prepared, they still felt a little powerless when facing Li Mo.

The opponent is good at running and has strong confrontation ability.

It can not only capture the space behind you, but also play as a high center forward.

This makes it very difficult for them to adapt defensively.

You have just adapted to the opponent's attack method, and they suddenly switch to attack mode.

Switch back and forth from assassin to heavy infantry.

Occasionally, he also appears as a heavy gunner.

It’s impossible to guard against it.

anyway.

The current form is not good for Spain.

They are falling behind.

This is the final, a decisive game, and there is not much time left for Spain.

If they want to return home with the championship trophy, they must start to respond.

Spain continued to control the situation and press the attack.

Their offense is typical Spanish football.

Advance layer by layer and penetrate with short passes.

Spain is also worthy of being the most successful national team in recent years.

They were before the end of the first half.

Mata's left-footed shot in the penalty area helped Spain equalize the score.

Prandelli on the sidelines shook his head slightly. Although Italy has more ways to threaten Spain's defense after Li Mo, Spain's midfield advantage is still huge.

so.

Prandelli's response is to continue to use Li Mo's advantage.

After the second half of the game started, Li Mo's performance became more active.

This gave both Ramos and Pique a headache.

However, because he is further away from his own midfielder, he is often forced to go deep alone.

With Ramos and Pique joining forces, Li Mo really didn't have much to do for a while.

Now Li Mo begins to feel that it would be great if he could integrate Neymar's dribbling skills.

In this situation of being alone and deep, only when more weapons are used to deal with the enemy can we continue to score goals.

I saw Pique and Ramos using their experience and skills to contain Li Mo slightly.

Bosque felt a little relieved.

The next step is how to score goals. He doesn't want to play a penalty shootout with Italy.

As everyone knows.

Italy is very good at taking penalties.

The Spanish fans in the stands kept shouting, and they seemed to see the team's opportunity to complete the reversal.

Spain's offensive was too fierce.

This forced Li Mo to accept that he was now the only one in the frontcourt.

Since his teammates have retreated to defend, he is basically the only one in the front, even if his teammates behind him kick the ball over.

He got the ball and it was too long in the world to wait for his teammates to come up to support him.

Pique and Ramos are not vegetarians. If he stayed for such a long time without passing the ball, then facing the defense of these two people, Li Mo would not have much confidence in protecting the ball.

but

Am I about to give up now?

Li Mo turned to look at the Spanish goal.

how can that be possible!

Even if it’s just one person, I will score a goal!

Li Mo came again, and Ramos greeted him.

After a solid physical confrontation, Ramos quickly broke away and placed Li Mo at about an arm's length from him.

This distance is not too far for Li Mo to slip away from him. After all, Li Mo is still quite fast.

And he won't lose his position due to hand-to-hand combat with Li Mo.

Ramos is indeed rich in experience, and the Madrid media has begun touting him as the world's number one central defender.

After several confrontations with Ramos, Li Mo also figured out the opponent's defensive habits.

If the other party doesn't want to fight me, then he just has to lean back!

Li Mo made a sudden movement to lean back, and Ramos took a step back.

But soon, he discovered

This was a fake move by Li Mo. When he took a step back, Li Mo suddenly turned around!

Oh shit! be cheated!

Ramos didn't expect Li Mo to take advantage of his habitual thinking and complete the turn.

This is at the front of the penalty area, and it is very dangerous for a center to turn around.

Ramos quickly changed his center of gravity, but when he was not prepared, the change of center of gravity made his body stiff for half a second.

It was in this half second that he saw Li Mo pick up his right foot.

Right now.

Ramos saw his centre-back partner Pique rushing over from one side.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

But he stopped breathing just halfway through.

Because he saw the next scene.

Pique rushed forward, and of course Li Mo saw it, so instead of shooting, he pulled the ball back and blocked it with his body.

Pique directly hit Li Mo's back. He did not restrain his strength, but hoped that the impact would interfere with Li Mo's shot.

However, Li Mo took advantage of the impact from his back and moved the ball to his left side.

Ramos was ready to come up and steal the ball, but just when he stretched out his foot to destroy it, the football disappeared.

It looked like Pique knocked Li Mo away, and then Li Mo hooked the ball away.

It's this moment.

A passage leading to the goal appeared in front of Li Mo.

He didn't hesitate and raised his left foot slightly.

The instep is straight.

"Li Mo. Volley from the instep!"

Li Mo raised his left foot, but he didn't kick his thigh round.

Because he knew very well that Ramos, Pique, and even Arbeloa on the right came over very quickly.

Opportunities are fleeting.

He just wiggles his little legs.

The instep was like the end of a whip, hitting the football hard.

boom!

The football flew straight towards the goal.

On the line of the penalty area, this can be regarded as a powerful and heavy shot.

Casillas made a save. His direction was correct, but the speed of the save was still a little slow.

The tip of his finger touched the football slightly, and the football changed its direction a little, hit the lower edge of the crossbar with a bang, and bounced into the goal.

The cheers of the Italian fans and the voice of Italian commentator Antonio sounded at the same time.

"The ball went in!!!"

Italy takes the lead again.

Everything was like lightning.

Li Mo received the ball, turned around, and volleyed with his left foot.

In fact, it is completed in just two or three seconds.

Before Pique even got up from the ground, the football had already entered the goal.

Prandelli is discussing with his assistants how to strengthen defense.

Didn't even look at the pitch.

He didn't raise his head until the cheers from the stadium suddenly started.

I saw Li Mo pumping the ball into the goal.

Prandelli immediately rushed out with his arms raised, shouting.

"How else can we strengthen our defense?"

his assistant rushed out and asked.

"Defense? What kind of defense should we strengthen?"

Prandelli stared.

"Tell the players that our current tactic is to kick the ball in the direction of Li Mo! Hit the back of their midfield!!"

"Counterattack! Hit them from behind, score as many as you can!"

Prandelli was in high spirits.

Li Mo is here.

It’s not like I dare not think about the World Cup!
