Italian football strange phenomenon: 4 times World Cup champion , 2 times after the fake bet
Italy, won the 1934, 1938, 1982, 2006 World Cup champions, the first two have the characteristics of the Mussolini era, I won't mention it; the last two times are very strange.
In the past 40 years, there have been about 20 major scandals in international football, of which Italy accounted for two, which occurred in the first 1-2 years of the 1982 World Cup and the 2006 World Cup respectively. These two disasters in Italian football caused Juventus, Milan, Lazio, Naples, Fiorentina, Perugia and other Z6z Serie A and Serie B clubs to be deprived of championship qualification, or demoted, or deducted points. Many club executives and coaches , Players and referees are suspended or banned. This has a great impact on the key factors for the success of the World Cup, such as player status, morale, national team protection, media and public support.
1982 World Cup Italy Rossi broke through Brazil's defense
destroyed the representative of beautiful football in 1982, with world football masters Zico , Socrates and Falcao among the Brazilian Italians had the Golden Globe and Golden Boots at that time Winner, Paolo Rossi, who died on December 9, 2020. He ended his two-year suspension only a few weeks before the World Cup. He played only three Serie A matches before going to Spain to play the World Cup. For details, see the author "Football Guardians FC" in the original release of "
2002 World Cup Italy Maldini defending South Korea's Ahn Jung Hwan
Sevenini for us to analyze the Italian and its football style, "We like it On the edge of the cliff, the view is amazing."
Therefore, can we think that one of the reasons why Italy won the championship in 1982 and 2006 was that the opponents despised Italy in the quagmire, and the Italians performed best when they were in a desperate situation. The second taste of
: "Predictability is boring, unexpected is amazing!"
who have been in contact with Italian women (or watched too many Italian movies) have a common experience, that is, Italian women’s style is elegant and Sexy and attractive, keep you close to her, when you think you are about to succeed, the Italian beauty unexpectedly rejects you.

Italian players have a deep understanding of this technique of Italian women, and they use them very well. They are not using the bus passively, but strategically. On the one hand, they use intensive defense to confuse their opponents; on the other hand, they defend from behind to lure their opponents forward. When the opponent can't think of it, when the opponent is out of balance, at the most vulnerable point of the opponent, at the right time, they can insert The last cut is fatal.
Italian football players are represented on three lines. The defenders of Maldini, Nesta, Baresi, Cannavaro, etc., play from the backcourt to the midfield or even the frontcourt at critical times, and change the situation when they go up. In the midfield, there are Pirno and Baggio, who are slow, but pass a few deadly balls each. On the front line, there are some defenders who will deceive the opposing defender, making judgments and decisions faster than the opposing defender, so they move a tenth of a second faster: Rossi, Inzaghi , Piero, etc.
In the 2006 World Cup, Piero broke the German goal
In addition to Rossi in the 1982 World Cup, there is a classic case in the 2006 World Cup. In the semifinals, the German team, which played at home and remained unbeaten in Dortmund, was defeated by Italy 2-0 in 119 minutes and 120+1 minutes. Z3z
Severnini explained to us that Italians think that predictability is boring, and unexpected is amazing; they are not like German and English football, which goes straight.
The third taste: "If you can win by deception, never use force to win."
Niccolò Machiavelli (Niccolò Machiavelli 1469 – 1527) was an Italian Renaissance diplomat, philosopher and The writer, the "Prince", he is often calledFor the father of modern political philosophy and political science.
Machiavelli analyzes the nature of men as, "Men are so simple, they tend to obey immediate needs, deceivers will never lack victims because of deception"; therefore, "If you can win by deception, never use force. Win".
Machiavelli and his work "Prince"
Machiavelli's result is a good process, immoral and acceptable point of view, for the Italians and the football world to understand. Foreign players who have played in Serie A generally describe the Italian defender as a "Master of Dark Art". Historian John Ford John Foot concluded, "Tactical fouls are the way of life of an Italian defender."
2006 World Cup final France against Italy, Italy Materazzi privately scolded Zidane, one of the best players in the world and the French captain at the time.

can only "intentionally" meet. It is indescribable that
football, like life, reflects culture and National characteristics are not as simple as football strategy or tactics.
Italians are one of the birthplaces of European civilization, the superpower of culture in the world, and if you look down on Italians, you will make big mistakes.
The highest level of confrontation in football is not a technical and tactical confrontation, but a philosophical confrontation.
Italian football, like Bruce Lee’s famous saying, has three flavors:
1) They don’t like stiff trees, but like bamboo or willow trees, dancing with the wind and enjoying the beauty;
2) The greater the pressure they bear, the stronger the rebound; and the rebound. Unpredictable time and direction;
3) They are "dark masters" and understand that "men are so simple and tend to obey immediate needs."
You may not like their culture and philosophy, but we have to admire the three flavors, you can only understand.
Football's kung fu is outside the football field. Italy won the World Cup after two fake black betting disasters. Let us think deeply.
Maybe we should not spend all our energy on the field, but should let youth training and youth football return to society and families.
Chinese football is very difficult to compare with the on-field skills and tactics of England, Germany, Italy, Spain and France.
However, Chinese culture and philosophy are broad, profound and colorful. Perhaps some of them are the real magic weapon for Chinese football to defeat the enemy, or at least let us see the football in a trivial way. Do you agree? Welcome to make bricks.
