179 Confrontation between speed and experience

Udinese continues to attack, and Pizarro is very active in the midfield of Udinese. He is almost an organized midfielder like Pirlo. Although he is not strong in defense, his footwork is very outstanding.

Pizarro once again passed the football to Yankulovsky's feet. Yankulovsky continued to move forward after getting the ball from the wing, and Udinese's forward Dinatale also ran to the wing to seek cooperation with Yankulovsky. In this way, Atletico Madrid's defense on the right was under great pressure.[]

For many years, Dinatale has been in a semi-red and not purple state in the Apennines football world, and is also a late striker. Dinatale, who is already 27 years old, joined Udinese this season with a net worth of 100,000 euros.

His annual salary during his time at Empoli was only 350,000 euros. Even after transferring to Udinese, his annual salary was only 650,000 euros, and even less than a fraction of other Italian internationals. In Italy, which is rich in "golden boys", Dinatale has never been a darling in the media and fans, but is regarded by many as a second-rate striker.

But Dinatale is definitely a stable striker, and his skills are excellent and he often assists his teammates in the front line. Thanks to his comprehensive skills, he won the trust of head coach Spalletti as soon as he joined Udinese and quickly became the main player.

Dinatale is a winger in Udinese's three forwards, but his goal number is also reflected in his keen sense of in front of the goal.

Dinatale almost ran to the midfield to cooperate with Yankulovsky. Velasco also dared not ignore Dinatale, and he also stared at Dinatale. After Yankulovsky handed the football to Dinatale, he ran along the sideline. Yankulovsky was preparing to wait for Dinatale's turn.

Velasco pressed behind Dinatale and forced him to get the ball with his back. At this time, Mark did not follow up with Yankulowski, but rushed towards Dinatale.

Dinatale should be considered top among Italian players. Although he is outstanding in grassroots, perhaps because of this experience, his skills are more comprehensive.

Dinatale turned around and passed Velasco, and then passed Mark with a kick.

"Beautiful, really beautiful personal technical ability" the commentator had to applaud Dinatale's wonderful performance.

But although Dinatale passed Mark, Mark's reaction was still very fast. After Mark turned around, he shoveled the football away with a sliding tackle.

"Why is this kid's reaction so fast?" Dinatale couldn't help but think in her heart.

Originally, Dinatale thought he had passed Mark, but he didn't expect Mark's reaction was too fast. Mark could actually get out of the bounds after he broke through.

"You're amazing," Dinatale said to Mark beside him.

However, Dinatale spoke Italian, and Mark couldn't understand it at all. Mark didn't know what he meant, and Mark didn't care what Dinatale was saying.

Soon, the Udinese team was thrown out of bounds and handed over to Pizarro in the midfield. The moment Pizarro received the ball, Mark saw the opportunity and started early. Mark directly cut off Yankulovsky's hand throw, and then took a big step to attack.

After seeing Mark intercepting the ball, the players of Atletico Madrid rushed to Udinese's halftime, and Mark quickly passed the football to Torres.

However, although Torres received a pass from Mark, he had no better chance because Torres retreated deeply. After receiving the football, Torres used his personal skills to protect the football. Then Torres passed the football to Mark. Mark directly dribbled the ball and started running wildly. The running Marc rushed directly into Udinese's half like a lightning bolt.

At this time, there was a problem with the three-back system of Udinese, that is, the slight number of players in the three-back system forced them to increase the distance between them.

Because Yankulovski just threw the ball and launched an attack, he was cut off by Mark, so Udinese had no players on the defense of Atletico Madrid on the right.

One of Udinese's central defenders, veteran San Sini, ran to Mark to make a replacement.

Nesto Sancion, born on October 12, 1966, is 178 cm tall. He entered Serie A to join Udinese in 1989. Later, he joined Parma Football Club and Lazio. He helped Parma win the European Cup, League Cup and Italian FA Cup, and helped Lazio win the double championship in the league and cup. He is the longest-time Argentine player in Serie A.

He is an alternative to Argentine football. He has no gorgeous appearance, flowing long hair, and idol temperament. Standing on the football field, he is as ordinary as a farmer. However, it is such a "farmer player". With his tenacious perseverance and professionalism, he has continued his football career to the age of 38. This is an amazing result! What's even more amazing is that he has also represented the Argentine national team in three World Cups. Yes, he is San Sini, the famous "Eternal Tree" in the Serie A arena.

As the oldest Serie A player.

However, even the most powerful player can't stand the crushing of the wheels of time. Although Saint-Sini's defensive experience should be more perfect as his experience and age increases, his body is no longer suitable for high-level confrontation.

Moreover, San Sini played in mid-range Serie A team like Udinese. If he hadn't had a place in the championship group, he would have been a substitute player more than a main player.

"Uncle, I know you, you are the representative of Argentina's defender." Mark said to Saint-Sini while dribbling the ball.

Mark knew that Saint Sini should be able to hear him clearly, because as an Argentine player, he was able to understand Spanish. You should know that the official language of Argentina is Spanish, so Saint Sini would definitely understand what Mark's words Saint Sini meant.

"Boy, don't be too arrogant. I will never let you pass, I will never let you break through, be careful I will kick your leg off," Saint-Sini also said viciously to Mark.

Speaking of which, San Sini's recent form is really good. The defensive confrontation in Serie A has shown a certain level, which also makes San Sini feel that he can continue to play for a few more years. San Sini is still unwilling to accept his old age. He feels that he can still fight on the court.

However, although Saint-Sini has strong willpower, time is no longer forgiving. Perhaps if he can use his outstanding experience and position to limit Mark when attacking the position, Atletico Madrid is fighting against the counterattack, and all movements are fast-paced.

This also puts a higher test on Saint-Sini's physical condition, and the reason why Saint-Sini was able to play football on the court at the age of 38 was entirely due to the position.

In addition to the goalkeeper and the central defender, there is no need to say more about the two senior positions on the football field. Since the goalkeeper only needs to make saves, the physical consumption is not large.

In addition, the central defender does not need to intervene in assists, at most, he runs up to compete for the header during a set piece, so his physical energy consumption is not as high as other positions.

Of course, although central defenders often play senior central defenders, it is rare for 38-year-olds like Saint-Sini to be the main players of Serie A clubs.

This also reflects the ability of Saint-Sini, but Saint-Sini's luck today doesn't seem to be very good. He met a Mark who is known for his speed. Mark's other skills are not good, but his speed can definitely be described as horror.

After seeing St. Sinie coming to the wing to defend him, Mark slightly reduced his speed and then directly drove the football forward, and suddenly increased the speed to the maximum.

Mark's excellent physical explosiveness was also reflected, and Saint-Sini could only react in his mind, but his body no longer cooperated with his ideas to make such quick movements.

However, Saint-Sini has another way, which is to make a foul. After Saint-Sini saw Mark break through, he directly made a fierce tackle and directly tackled Mark to the ground.

"Beep" the referee blew the foul whistle and gave Atletico Madrid a chance to have a free kick. San Sini received a yellow card.

"What are you doing? Do you really want to play with me?" Mark jumped up after being tackled by St. Sini, then pointed at St. Sini's nose and shouted.

"Have you forgotten what I said to you just now?" Saint-Sini also reminded Mark, who had just warned Mark that he was going to kick his leg off.

Mark didn't care about Saint-Sini's words. Although Saint-Sini's career was very brilliant, he was already very old and could only say harsh words. If Mark broke through him one-on-one, it would not be a problem.

Soon Mark came to the opportunity to take the free kick before football, which was also the first free kick that Mark got after he came on the bench in the second half. Mark still had to seize the opportunity.

Under the matter of the referee, Mark quickly kicked the football out after running. The football flew around the wall with a beautiful arc and flew towards the upper right corner of Udinese's goal.

Udinese goalkeeper DeSantis also ran and jumped up, pulled his body to the maximum extent, and then prepared to save Mark's football. DeSantis's fingertips touched the football. Then the football flew directly against the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

"Oh, Mark's high-quality free kick, but unfortunately he was hit by the goalkeeper. Atletico Madrid missed a good opportunity to score," the Spanish commentator said regretfully.

"Damn it, I didn't even enter," Mark muttered regretfully.

Although Mark also knew that it was impossible for every free kick to be shot into the net, Mark still hoped that every shot he could score. Although Mark could not achieve such a goal for the time being, Mark's wish would definitely come true in time.

After Desanctis saved Mark's free kick, he seemed very excited. He was yelling and venting his emotions. Goalkeepers are a profession that requires passion. Desanctis yelling is also inspiring the morale of his teammates, and at the same time demonstrating to Mark.

De Sanctis is the best goalkeeper in the Serie A season 2003-04. He has a very fast reaction, good goal line skills and outstanding explosive power. He has also played for Juventus for two seasons and is also a regular player in the Italian national team goalkeeper position.

De Sanctis debuted from Pescara Club in 1994 and joined Juventus in 1997, but he got very few opportunities to perform in Turin and only played 3 games in two seasons.

In 1999, De Sanctis defected to Udinese and gradually grew into the team's main goalkeeper and was also recruited into the Italian national team. However, Italy's national goal is Buffon, so although De Sanctis was selected for the national team, he often served as a substitute.

In fact, Italy is not short of excellent goalkeepers. Many excellent goalkeepers are the main players of the club and perform well in the club, but they cannot play as the main players in the national team and cannot be selected for the national team. This has to be said to be a tragedy for Italian goalkeepers. Therefore, Desanctis must be used in the club to win the appreciation of the national team head coach in a better state.

"I will definitely score your goal," Mark thought to himself.

The head coach of Udinese team also saw that Saint-Sini was completely at a disadvantage after confronting Mark. In this way, Spaletti also felt that the situation was not good, because Udinese team only led by one goal and had not completely won the game.

However, Spaletti also trusts Saint-Sini's experience to help the team. He feels that Saint-Sini has no problem with physical fitness. The second half of the game was just about ten minutes, and Spaletti thinks that Saint-Sini can play for a while.

Moreover, the defense line needs to be stable. If San Sini is replaced, the tacit understanding of Udinese's central defender formation will inevitably be disrupted.

Sutra Spaletti didn't dare to make a rash adjustment to substitutions. Udinese's lineup has not changed and he still maintains such a formation.

"Sancini seems to have no good way to defend Mark. Mark seems to be very confident when breaking through Saint-Sancini," said the Spanish commentator.

The situation on the court is really the case. In the 60th minute, Atletico Madrid intercepted the ball in the midfield, and Lusin intercepted the ball in the backcourt and then passed the ball to Mark on the right.

After sprinting, Mark did not go away from Yankulowski's defense and then received the football. Luxin's footwork was OK, especially the long pass was quite accurate. However, this was also related to Mark's speed. For football that ordinary people cannot receive, Mark can use his advantage in speed to receive the football.

After getting the football, Mark quickly faced Saint-Sini's defense again. Mark still directly drove the football forward and dodged Saint-Sini's defense with speed.

Saint-Sini also used his body to cross the line before Mark's running line. This time the blocking was naturally a foul. However, the referee did not show Saint-Sini yellow cards. This may be because the referee felt that Saint-Sini had already had a yellow card before. If he was given another yellow card, Saint-Sini would have been sent off for a total of two yellow cards, so he was also proud of his hand and let him go.

"The referee should give him a yellow card. He blocked my offensive line just now. I am about to break through him. After breaking through, I can shoot." Mark shouted to the referee. This was also Mark's dissatisfaction in his heart.

Mark just now was indeed a good opportunity, because after breaking through San Sini, he was facing the defense of Udinese's central defender Croll Drup, who came to make up for defense. Mark also had a good chance of shooting.

The referee still shook his head. He did not meet Mark's requirements. Many players from Atletico Madrid surrounded him. Everyone asked the referee to show a yellow card to Saint-Sini.

Although Atletico Madrid players put pressure on the referee, the referee still maintained his original penalty and signaled Atletico Madrid to take the free kick as soon as possible.

The foul by San Sini scared Udinese referee Spalletti. He also knew that San Sini had a yellow card, and the confrontation between San Sini and Mark was obviously not advantageous.

Although Spaletti trusts Saint-Sini's experience, Spaletti is not an average head coach. He still has some methods and means, otherwise he would not have achieved certain results in Udinese.

Spaletti summoned a substitute Felipe on the bench. Felipe is a central defender from Brazil. Although he is only nineteen years old, this is his third season with Udinese.

Spaletti asked Felipe to prepare for a substitute, and Spaletti was also preparing to replace San Sini with him, but substitutions had to submit an application in advance, and then wait for the fourth official to verify before allowing the substitute to appear. This also takes time. It depends on the chance of Felipe to play after the free kick of Atletico Madrid is completed.

Mark stood in front of the football again. It was not until five minutes that Mark had already gotten the second free kick opportunity, and it depends on whether Mark could change the score of the game through this free kick opportunity.
