On May 30, 2008, in Florence, a large number of reporters had gathered at the entrance of the hotel. Before the European Cup final stage was the beginning of the game, even an ordinary warm-up match for the Italian national team attracted great attention from the media and fans.

The Italian national team came to Fiorentina from the Coviciano training center in Rome last night. Today, Italy and Belgium will play a warm-up match.

Under the attention of the reporters' dazzling flash, the Italian national team's bus slowly started and headed to today's game venue, Frankie Stadium, home court in Fiorentina, which is also the territory of the Italian national team's midfielder Montolivo.

Sitting in the last row, Xiangnan looked at the dusk scenery of this Renaissance ancient city, and felt a little nervous. Before the game, Donadoni listened to the opinions of the medical expert group led by Castellachi. Finally, Xiangnan included the roster of the game, and after a brief exchange with Xiangnan, he decided to give Xiangnan some time in the second half to adapt to the team's playing style.

However, Xiangnan knew that this short ten minutes, or twenty minutes, was the opportunity Donadoni gave him. If he couldn't grasp it, his European Cup journey might even end here. After all, on the current 24-man roster, one person will leave at the last registration moment.

On the Italian national team's forward line, Luca Toni, as the main player of the 2006 World Cup, is the hero of winning the championship. His position should be the most stable. The Udinese forward combination of Dinatale and Quariarera is also appreciated by Donadoni, as well as superstars like del Piero and a long-standing star like Casano, so Xiangnan must stand out from it. He must seize extremely limited opportunities to make Donadoni fully remember his importance!!!

The Frankie Stadium is getting more and more advanced, and I keep seeing local fans in Florence. Carrying the blue flag of the Italian national team, roaring, and stroking towards the Frankie Stadium!!!

Local time in Italy, Italy, at 21:00 on May 30, 200. Frankie Stadium in Florence is a happy blue ocean. The flags of the Mediterranean sea are flying high above the stadium.

At this time, it was 3 a.m. Beijing time on May 31.

"Friends, friends. Good evening, fans are welcome to stay up late to watch this international football friendly match. It is also a warm-up match prepared by the Italian national team to prepare for the European Cup. The opponent of the match is the Belgian team." Liu Jianhong's voice was a little hoarse. After all, it is still very hard to stay up late to comment on it for a long time.

"First of all, let's take a look at the starting lineup of both sides. The Italian team has entered the court. There is joy on the court." This is Xu Yang's voice.

"Italy adopts a 4-3-3 formation. It seems that Donadoni plans to use Belgium to find a striker."

"The goalkeeper is still the starting lineup of No. 1 Buffon. The substitute goalkeeper is Abiati, who was loaned to Torino this season from Milan. Abiati's performance can also be said to be a brilliant one. Of course, we Chinese fans know Abiati more because he and Xiangnan were teammates at that time."

"On the defense line, from right to left are No. 2 Panucci, No. 5, and also the captain on the field Cannavaro, No. 6 Barzali, No. 19 Zambrota."

"There is news that Zambrota will officially transfer from Barcelona to Milan this summer, and it seems that it is always difficult for Italian players to adapt to the La Liga."

"In the midfield, the starting points include Gattuso No. 8, Pirlo No. 21, and Aquilani No. 22."

"On the forward line, today the starter is No. 7 del Piero, No. 9 Lucatoni, No. 11 Dinatale."

"We noticed that Xiangnan did not start in this game. It seems that his muscle fatigue has not been effectively recovered. However, when interviewed by Lin Han, a reporter from Sports Weekly, Xiangnan said that he may have a certain playing time in the game to be familiar with the team's playing style. *****"

"As the first Chinese player to win the European Champions League, Xiangnan's efforts are unimaginable to ordinary people. After two injuries, Xiangnan has participated in 40 games this season. After transferring to Chelsea, he quickly became a main player who has almost no flaws and has never had any important game of Chelsea."

"From the Moscow night to the day, Xiangnan has only had less than a week off, which means he has not received any rest for a whole season."

"I'm afraid there will be no rest during this holiday. After the European Cup, Xiangnan will participate in the European Youth Championship. In an interview, the head coach of the Italian 19 national team, Kasirac, revealed to the media that it is necessary to build an attack line for Italy with Xiangnan as the core, which also means that Xiangnan needs to put more efforts and struggle."

At this time, the TV camera captured Xiangnan sitting on the bench. He was whispering something with Abiati sitting beside him, and looked at the situation on the court from time to time.

"Also, the Italian Olympic Committee is also striving to win the agreement of Chelsea club to allow Xiangnan to participate in the Beijing Olympics in the summer. Xiangnan is an Olympic player of the age. However, there has been news from Chelsea that the club does not really want Xiangnan to participate in the Olympics."

At this time, the fans in front of the TV were already calculating that if Xiangnan finished the European Cup, European Youth Championship, and came to Beijing to participate in the Olympics, it means that Xiangnan would not have a little rest during the whole holiday, then the physical fitness and condition of the new season would be very dangerous, and such high-density games would be easily injured.

Uh... To be honest, Xiangnan is a human, not a super invincible Iron King Kong...

"Belgium uses a 4-41-1 formation. Here is their starting lineup today:

The goalkeeper is, 1-Stining;

On the back line, 2-Hovkens, 5-Konpani, 4-Hansen, 3-Boconoli;

The midfield is.\\\\\\11-Weizel, 7-Mudingayi, 8-Simmons.10-Defour/17-Fellaini;

Single striker: 9-Dembele."

"Belgium has not been able to reach the finals of this European Cup, so the Belgian team is now very young. This is also the training for the 2010 South Africa World Cup. Belgian head coach Van derrecon. He has arranged a single forward formation in this game."

"Yes. For example, Hansen, the current main central defender of the Belgian national team, is only 1 year old this year. He is a classmate and friend of Xiangnan in Belgium. He joined the Turin team last year and quickly entered the Turin team after the winter break. He performed well, headed well, and was strong in body."

"Xiangnan is a Chinese who grew up in Belgium. The head coach of the Belgian international team once invited Xiangnan, so this game is more interesting."

"The competition has begun. Let's look forward to a wonderful game!!!"

Uh... I have to say that even Liu Jianhong himself does not have much hope for the excitement of this game. After all, Italy's unique ability is defensive counterattack. Belgium is a young team, Belgian head coach Van derrecon. He also ranked 4-4-1-1 single forward formation in this game.

Yes, you can imagine that the scene of such a game... is very...

In fact, TV-5 chose this warm-up match to broadcast, not only for the highlights of the defending champion of the 2006 World Cup, the Blues League Brazil team, but more for the highlights of Xiangnan's debut in the Italian national team. This is also an ordinary warm-up match with low value, which can attract so many Chinese fans to stay up late to wait. ===Shou, he suffered a car accident and unfortunately died in a Belgian international Stecherin.

It was raining. In this season, the Tuscany region was just a rainy season. Xiangnan sat on the bench and looked at the red on the stands, and a warm current was also stirring in his heart.

The Tuscany region is a place where most Chinese people are in Italy. As the capital of Tuscany, Florence, a famous Renaissance city, is also a place where Chinese people are concentrated.

Today, there are many local Chinese and Chinese students coming to Frankie Stadium. There is a bright five-star red flag in the stands. It is so conspicuous and warm in a blue ocean. They all come to support Xiangnan. To be honest, compared with domestic fans, Chinese who live abroad, they have been living abroad for generations for half a century. They have a stronger sense of identity with Xiangnan. They are also Chinese, which makes their feelings and cultural background closer to Xiangnan.

The feelings of overseas Chinese are the most direct for Xiangnan to be selected into the Italian national team and to grow into a world-class star in the Premier League. This makes the Chinese who are drifting like duckweed overseas feel a hint of pride in their hearts.

Xiangnan has been continuously achieving success overseas through his own efforts. In the eyes of overseas Chinese, it is a true back of the children of the Chinese nation who are strong and unyielding and hardworking and successful overseas...

In London's Stamford Bridge, for the past half season, there has been a large area in the main stand of Stamford Bridge, calling on the Chinese community and international students in London. Every weekend, a bright five-star red flag will fly here, making it a bright scene of Stamford Bridge.

The turf at Frankie Stadium is in good condition. Although it is raining, it does not have much impact on the game.

After the game started, Xiangnan watched the game seriously off the court. There was almost no running-in between him and this team, so every minute now, Xiangnan’s understanding of this team is very precious, even if he watches the game on the bench.

After the opening, Italy quickly took the initiative on the field and frequently launched attacks on Belgium's penalty area. "Shot!!! Gatuso!! He played high, Gatuso was very active today."

In the third minute of the game, Gattuso received a pass from Pirlo and pushed the ball over the crossbar in front of the penalty area.

"This is the cooperation between the two Milan players."

The game ended, and in the 7th minute, Zanbrotta broke through along the right side, facing Hofkens' blockage, and made a beautiful arc. He passed the ball into the penalty area, Panucci headed the ball into the penalty area, Dinatale leaned against Hansen, who suddenly stepped forward to defend closely, and volleyed the ball with his right foot. The ball drew a wonderful arc. A wave was swept in the net...

"The ball has entered!!! No. The referee blew the whistle, the ball was offside. Let's take a look at the slow motion. The moment Panucci headed the ball, Belgian central defender Hansen moved forward very quickly, and Dinatale was offside."

"Hansen's consciousness is very good. This 19-year-old central defender has attracted the interest of some wealthy clubs." Liu Jianhong also praised Hansen's alert migration.

The moment Xiangnan saw Dinatale shoot the ball into the ground, he jumped up with Abiati and Ambrosini beside him and prepared to celebrate.

Although the goal was cancelled in the end because of offside. Xiangnan had to be happy for Hanson's growth in his heart. What else is more happy than the progress of his own brothers?!!

"This guy is good. I want it, Nesta has been injured all the time. Carazze is also a glass man. Milan's central defender is really unreliable."

In the VIP room at Frankie Stadium, Galliani's eyes lit up, as bright as his bald head. It seems that he has to find a way to convince the Chairman to open his wallet. However, this Belgian boy, Torino should not offer too much price...

The first half of the game lasted for more than half an hour. The Italian national team's offense played very well, but they were unable to score goals. Until now, the fans' most impressive impression was that besides Belgian goalkeeper Stining, they were central defender Hansen.

Finally, the Italian goal has arrived.

After the game ended at 39 minutes, Pirlo made a beautiful transfer near the center circle. Lucatoni stopped the ball in his chest and directly stopped the ball to Del Piero. The Zebra Prince directly volleyed. The ball was pounced by Belgian goalkeeper Stining, and then Dinatale was in front of the goal and a shovel shot to the empty goal!!

"Dinatale!!! Beautiful!! Transfer from Pirlo's big feet to Tony's chest pass, then to Del Piero's volley, and finally Dinatale's fatal blow, the entire attack process was smooth." Finally, the goal was scored, which made the Chinese fans who stayed up late and waited a little more energy, not to mention that this goal was quite beautiful.

There was loud applause from Frankie Stadium, and the fans were also very satisfied with the Italian team's goal, especially the cooperation between Italy's offensive trident today also made Donadoni on the coach's bench very satisfied. The head of the Blues also kept applauding and cheering for the goal.

Finally, at the end of the first half, the Italian national team entered the midfield with a 1-0 lead with Dinatale's 39-minute supplementary goal.

At this time, in the TV-5 studio, commentator Liu Jianhong and commentator Xu Yang talked about with fans, whether Xiangnan would be replaced in the second half after the half-time break.

After the second half of the game began, Donadoni only replaced Del Piero with Camoranesi, Juventus' prince, and had already won Donadoni's recognition with an assist in the first half. However, in the European Cup, Del Piero's positioning is probably still just a substitute who can play at any time.

Now, Italy's formation has changed from 4-33 to 4-4-2, and Camoranii appears in the front midfielder.

This change of formation was not effective. The Belgian team began to have the opportunity to fight back, and Camoranesi was not in good condition either. He made three pass mistakes in less than 5 minutes after playing.

Lucatoni and Dinatale lacked effective cooperation on the forward line. For a while, Italy's offense fell into a deadlock, but Belgium's strength was really limited and it was not able to cause too much trouble to Italy's defense.

However, when Belgium reached the 63rd minute of the game, he took advantage of a corner kick. The corner kick taken by Belgian midfielder No. 7 Mudingayi was shot by Hansen with a strong header. After the ball took a strong arc, it hit the left post of the goal and bounced out of the baseline, which made the Italian fans at Frankie Stadium breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the ball was not scored, the Milan vice chairman in the stands looked at Hansen as if he was seeing a beautiful naked mistress. Galliani couldn't wait to get the 19-year-old central defender.

The game ended at 76 minutes and the Italian team finally ushered in, their second goal in the game.

Dinatale's long shot was pounced by Belgian goalkeeper Stining, and Hansen fell to the ground and hooked the ball out of the baseline.

Italy got a chance to get a corner kick.

Pirlo's corner kick was fast, and the beautiful arc was hanging into the penalty area. Lucatoni finally gained the upper hand in the confrontation with Hansen. Bayern Munich striker squeezed out the Turin central defender and shot with a beautiful header. The ball passed Stining's fingers and drilled into the net, causing a ripple. It's time to try to replace Tony. Will this be a chance to go south?" Liu Jianhong's voice expressed the voice of the Chinese fans in front of the TV.
Chapter completed!
