PS1: This is the update on Thursday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I will not stop updating...

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.

"Tsk, Yap (Stam) You are so cruel, you are not merciless." After returning from an attack, Vieri rubbed his stomach, which was so painful by Stam's elbow, while pretending to be dissatisfied, "No matter what, we are also playing in the same club, so you can't let go of water while defending me? At least don't use this kind of small move when defending, it hurts."

"Christian, you're a little unreasonable." Stam replied speechlessly about Vieri's complaint, "We are not playing friendly matches now. If you don't keep an eye on you, something big will happen... It's better to do this. If you can promise me that I don't have to do all my strength in the subsequent games, I will agree with your proposal just now. How about this deal?"

"Uh, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously." When Vieri heard Stam say this, he was immediately timid and changed the subject with a dry smile. Like Stam, he didn't dare to let the ball go in this key battle to decide who can get a ticket to the European Cup semi-finals.

Just when Stam and Vieri were having a brief exchange (dispute) on the court, the Orange Army's offense was also setback. Robben's wing attack failed to tear open the Italian defense line this time, and was blocked by De Rossi and Zambrota and the ball was cut off. Then, the ball was handed over to Pirlo's feet at the first time. The latter, who had been observing the situation in the frontcourt, did not wait for Seedorf to come up to interfere, and directly sent a long pass over the top and kicked the ball towards the Dutch team's half!

I have to say that Pirlo's long pass was well controlled. The ball he kicked successfully crossed the midfield defense line composed of Coku and Davis, and flew directly towards Stam. And it seems that if Stam did not move his position in advance, the ball would likely fall behind the Dutch.

"Now I won't talk now. When the European Cup is over, our brothers will find a place to have a drink and make contact with each other." Noting that the ball flew towards him, Vieri glanced at Stam in a hidden way, distracted the latter's attention with words while moving his position without moving. "Then, I'll take a step first!"

Before he finished speaking, Vieri suddenly accelerated and threw Stam behind him, and the position he ran towards was the first landing point of the ball!

"I'll go, Christian, you kid are actually playing tricks on me!" Because he didn't notice the movements on the court before chatting with Vieri, Stam, who had been slowing down, scolded Vieri, who had already set a distance from him, and immediately turned around and chased him. He was confident that he would block the opponent before Vieri completed the shooting and successfully resolve Italy's offensive this time!

Because his physical fitness has declined in the past year, affecting explosive power and speed, Vieri failed to throw Stam away too far. He only had time to control the ball under his feet and was caught up by the latter. He was entangled in the penalty area and had no room to shoot.

However, although there is no angle or space for shooting, this does not mean that Vieri is helpless. While dealing with Stam and paying attention to the movements around him, he immediately blocked Stam behind him with his back and passed the ball with his left foot!

"Oops!" Seeing that Diego Milito had already set off a shot in the penalty area and stuck Frank DeBol firmly behind him, Stam's heart skipped a beat and thought something was wrong. After all, DeBol is no longer the reassuring existence on the defense line back then due to his age. Therefore, even if DeBol is now responsible for defense, Diego Milito, who is not very good at fighting ability, it is difficult to cause enough interference to the latter when he is stuck in the position by his opponent.

Although Debord also has the ultimate move to fall to the ground and use the tackle, in the sensitive area of ​​the penalty area, the opponent has an excellent opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly. Therefore, the result of the Dutch captain using this move against Milito is likely to receive a Ruby God of War card and a penalty kick issued by Frisk himself.

In this way, in the 65th minute of the game, Vieri took advantage of Stam's distracted opportunity to receive a long pass from Pirlo and assisted Diego Milito to score, helping Italy tie the score and bring the two teams back to the same starting line!

The lead that had maintained nearly forty minutes was gone because of a missed defense on the back line. Seedorf, Koku and others stared at Stam and Frank Debor rather badly, thinking that you two would not be bribed by the Italians, right?

It is understandable that Seidorf and the others would think so. After all, the goal just now was too weird. First, when Stam was marking Vieri, the reaction was slowed down due to chatting with the opponent, which easily caused the opponent to receive Pirlo's long pass. Then Debor was at a disadvantage in the direct confrontation with Milito, giving the latter the opportunity to face Van der Sar directly and easily equalized the score.

It can be said that the entire goal process revealed a strange atmosphere, so it is not surprising that Seidov and his team responded to such a reaction.

Of course, this goal was not so much a goal that Vieri used a trick to cheat, but rather an Italian who made a good use of the biggest flaw in the defensive end of the Netherlands, that is, there are too many veterans in the midfield and backcourt, and the speed and physical fitness of the return to defense are getting slower and slower over time, and then breaking the Dutch team's goal.

Otherwise, with De Boer's experience and ability, he would not be easily blocked by Milito, and would not allow his opponent to catch the ball and shoot in such a dangerous position.

Seeing the hard-earned lead, Edvocart, who had planned to continue to wait and see before taking action, saw the conservative sentiment in his heart spread again. Worried that the team's fragile defense line was pierced by the Italians with a quick counterattack, he hurriedly replaced Van der Mede with Boma, and strengthened the team's defensive strength by adding a defender.
Chapter completed!
