Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Italy, the 2006 World Cup champion team in Germany, became Li Qing's chosen opponent in this ladder match.

This opponent, if it is known to senior fans, I am afraid it will cause considerable controversy, because which World Cup, the final champion is already controversial, and the Italian team itself at that time is the center of controversy.

In the 2005-2006 season, the infamous 'phonegate' incident broke out in the Italian Serie A, and the entire Italian football world was caught in the whirlpool of fishing wheels.

Juventus, AC Milan and Fiorentina are all involved, and against this negative backdrop, the Italian team, led by the 'Silver Fox' Lippi, made a low-key trip to Germany.

The 23-man roster of which World Cup, in the eyes of many people, is not the strongest Italian team, and the Italian team, which lacks the old captain Maldini and superstars such as Vieri, is bleak.

However, this Italian team, which has few stars, has condensed into a team with outstanding combat effectiveness under the pressure of huge fishing wheels.

From the group stage to the semi-finals, the Italians' impeccable defense and their attacking characteristics were perfectly presented in the eyes of the world.

Ghana, the Czech Republic, Australia, Ukraine and Germany have fallen to Italy.

In the penalty shootout in the final, the resolute eyes of the captain Cannavaro told the world how tenacious the Italian team was, and finally they stood on top of the world!

Li Qing's choice of this world championship team stems from the plot, and he still wants to try the long-lost 'Serie A defense' in football!

In this Italian team, the goalkeeper is the world's No. 1 goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, and the defenders include Zambrotta, one of the best right-backs in the world at the time, captain Cannavaro, King Nesta, and fantastic defender Grosso.

Midfielders Camoranesi, Gattuso, Pirlo and De Rossi represent the strongest midfielders of the era, striker Roma Prince Totti, and Luca Toney, the first super striker to score more than 30 goals in 50 years of breaking Serie A that season.

On the bench, there are also Materazzi, Perrotta, Piero and De Sanctis and other giants.

Therefore, this Italian team, although there is no old captain Maldini on the defensive line, the combination of Nesta and Cannavaro's iron guard defense can also make countless opponents fearful.

Head coach Lippi was considered the most aggressive Italian coach of those years after the game, and he created flashy and aggressive tactics for the Italian team at that time, which finally allowed the Italian team to lift the Hercules Cup.

Therefore, against this Italian team, Li Qing is looking forward to and excited, and is also full of expectations for whether this champion team can stop his goal.

And the system's game task prompt also made Li Qing look forward to it even more, because it was the first time he heard such a prompt from the system.

'Ding, the host draws an opponent whose strength is higher than his own, and in this game, the host leads his team to a draw or win, and will receive the same quality reward. ’

Draws can get the same quality rewards, there is no doubt that this Italian team, in the system's rating, is even higher than their own Liverpool team!

Therefore, Li Qing is looking forward to this game even more.

As the referee's whistle blows, the game begins, and the first kick-off is the Liverpool team.

After Liverpool's striker kicked off, he began to fall in the midfield, because from the first minute of the game, Li Qing felt strong pressure from the opponent.

This Italian team is very stable, in fact, in that era, any team in the face of Italy, did not dare to play a quick counterattack, because everyone knows that in front of the Italian team, there is no chance of a big quick counterattack, but it is possible to be broken by the opponent to counterattack.

Therefore, against this Italian team, you still have to play the attacking style that Liverpool is good at, try to control the ball, attract the opponent to make mistakes, and then look for attacking opportunities.

After all, with the level of the Italian team's backs and defenders, even Li Qing dare not say that he can still protect the ball in the face of the opponent's multi-person defense.

The Italian defenders of that era, unlike the current Premier League defenders, would not hesitate to foul if they couldn't get the ball, but they were very skillful in fouling and rarely ate cards, unless it was a necessary tactical foul.

So Liverpool finally passed to Li Qing's feet after the midfielder had his foot backwards a few times.

In today's ladder match, the Liverpool team is still the strongest lineup, but there are some adjustments in the details of the formation, Li Qing is in the middle of the midfield, becoming the offensive organizer on the field.

He was flanked by Sadio Mane on his left, Mohamed Salah on his right, Roberto Firmino at the top, and behind Li Qing was the back of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, forming the first line of defence.

Therefore, when the ball came to Li Qing's feet, he immediately learned the 'Italian defense' that he had been thinking about.

The first person to come up to defend Li Qing was Gattuso, who was known as the 'butcher', although it was only a character simulated by the system, but from the first physical contact between Li Qing and Gattuso, he felt a strong pressure from the opponent's body.

This Italian, who was almost ten centimeters shorter than himself, kept colliding with Li Qing when he came up, and he used the strength very accurately, which would not make people fall to the ground, but it could make people feel uncomfortable.

And Gattuso not only hit Li Qing, but also had a lot of movements in his hands and feet.

Li Qing turned around and stopped, he also turned around and stopped, Li Qing accelerated suddenly, he also accelerated immediately, and when he followed Li Qing to do these actions, there were several times when Gattuso's fingers almost poked into Li Qing's eyes.

Nima, I really want to kill him! Li Qing felt a fire rising in his heart after being hit on the waist by Gattuso's elbow.

Although I was prepared in my heart, I realized that my psychological preparation was useless at all.

Can't continue to be entangled like this, Li Qing planned to pass the ball out, but there was a strong force in front of him, Gattuso pushed him, but his hand grabbed Li Qing's jersey, just leaned on Li Qing's body, and was about to shovel Li Qing's ball.

If you snatch the ball, I'll swallow the ball alive today! Li Qing was ruthless in his heart, and quickly pulled the ball to his side, intending to break through, but as soon as he made the action of pulling the ball, his feet were empty, and the ball was intercepted!

It's Nesta!

The best defender in the world back then, when Li Qing and Gattuso were entangled and pulled the ball to avoid, he kicked like electricity and intercepted the ball.

Li Qing was taken aback for a while, and then a strange light radiated from his eyes.

It turns out that this is the legendary Italian defense!
