In this game, Old Maldini continued to line up a four-four-two formation. The goalkeeper was still Paliuka. In the eyes of the coach, Buffon, who was under the age of 18, was more suitable for sitting on the bench to see the world. After all, he had no experience in top competitions and was not very safe in the eyes of the steady Old Maldini. However, Buffon didn't need to be depressed. At least he was much happier than Cudicini, who could sit on the bench since the beginning of the Olympics.

The defense line is Koko, Nesta, Cannavaro and Panucci. In the view of Old Maldini, if nothing unexpected happens, except for the youngest Coco, last year, the other three players on the defense line will inevitably become one of the Italian national team's defense line in the World Cup two years later. The reason why Koko is not favored is more because of the Italian left-back talent during this period. Whether it is Paul Martini, Dilivio, or Pesotto, or even Lanna and Fortunato, Koko has a considerable disadvantage against them.

In the midfield, Tachinadi dragged the back as a single midfielder, and he was responsible for establishing a reliable barrier in front of the team's defense line. In front of him were Tomasi and Kripa. Their task was to make up for Koko and Panucci who were assisting from the wings to prevent the opponent from using the space behind the two to launch a counterattack; when Argentina attacked, they had to rush up and interfere with the opponent as soon as possible. When their attacks, they also had to choose the opportunity to insert a long shot. It can be said that the tasks these three people were carrying were quite heavy.

It has to be said that the Italian Olympic team coached by Maldini has a strong Fiorentine color, abolishing the traditional wing forward, and the two full-backs on the left and right sides are fully responsible for the offense and defense of the wing; while protecting their own defense, Tacinadi, Tomasi and Kripa trio must seize the opportunity to participate in the offense, threaten the opponent's goal with long shots, and also open the space for their teammates to attack.

This is also why Old Martini chose three players who have experienced playing in Fiorentina in the midfield. After all, the tactics he used can be said to be a replica of Fiorentina. Such tactics are of course for those who have played in Fiorentina to play to the best effect.

If it were someone else, with the less than a month of training time of the Italian Olympic team, even the tacit understanding between the players might not be able to be integrated, let alone such a complex tactical cooperation.

This has little to do with the players' tactical execution. It is more because of the players' familiarity with a set of tactics and tacit understanding between each other. Think about it, let a player become familiar with a group of strange teammates in less than a month and also adapt to a brand new set of tactics. If everyone can do this, then all teams will not have such a hard time when renewing.

In terms of the front line, considering that the four defenders of the Argentine National Olympic team are playing in Serie A, Maldini chose to send a combination of Pierro and Philip Inzaghi. Neither of these two strikers are the kind of striker who are easily stared at by defenders. Moreover, after playing in Serie A for several years, they are very familiar with the defensive styles of Ayala, Chamot and others, and know where their weaknesses are.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

It is also for this reason that after the game started, when Chamot and San Sini led the Argentine defense line saw Inzagi and Pierro appearing in front of them: the former could suddenly break out and score in the twenty minutes of "invisible" and it was hard to defend, while the latter often kicked some weird arcs in the so-called "Pierro area". It is really a matter of life for these two to be together, because no one knows whether they will seize the opportunity to score because of their little distraction.

It can be said that no one except the goddess of luck and themselves can stop the combination from scoring.

Zhuang Mingge was lucky. The game was almost the same as what he predicted from the beginning. The Italian team tightened the fence and launched a defensive counterattack. The Argentine fought a positional offense with the combination of Crespo and Lopez, a high- and fast combination, and wanted to steadily break Italy's defensive system bit by bit.

Passarella obviously overestimated the offensive ability of his two strikers. Not to mention Lopez, who was stared at by Cannavaro, although Crespo has gained a certain reputation in South American football, but he has not been honed through top-level competitions, and is obviously not the first-class center he later. He has made 21 appearances with the River Plate team last season and scored 6 goals in seizing opportunities.

As for Argentina's two wings, Bascedes and Morales encountered no less trouble than Crespo and others. The former encountered Panucci, who could completely abuse him in all aspects, and the latter was even more reluctant to throw the ball under the continuous squeeze of Koko, let alone support others.

Although Ortega, known as Maradona's successor, constantly tried to break the deadlock for Argentina with breakthroughs, how could the Italian, who was not even Maradona himself be bound by a so-called "successor"? Under the joint strangulation of Tacinadi and others, Ortega was surprised to find that he had even made it extremely difficult to break through.

Since most of the troops in the midfield have been put into the offense, Almeida, who is responsible for the midfield defense, dare not act rashly. Everyone knows that the Italians have the best ability to defend and counterattack in the world, and rashly participating in the offense is purely a suicide.

Since Almeida cannot attack, Argentina can only rely on its two full-backs if it wants to increase its offensive firepower.

Although Chamot is a full-back, he has been changing to a central defender for many years and is obviously no longer adapting to the left-back position. Now he focuses more on defense rather than offense, so the only full-back who can assist is actually Sanetti.

With the assistance of Kripa and Tomasi, Sanetti could not afford much storm alone.

In this way, Argentina, who could not conquer for a long time, began to become impatient. Ortega showed his "independent" side, reduced his passes and began to pursue personal breakthroughs, trying to imitate his predecessor, Maradona, to turn the situation around with his own strength.

However, Ortega is not Maradona, and Italy is not England.

In the end, Ortega paid the price for his will.

In the 22nd minute, during a forced breakthrough in the middle, Ortega was broken by Tachinadi and then immediately kicked Tomasi. The latter pulled the ball and turned around, flashed through Almeida's shovel and passed the ball to Toti in front!
