milanhime夜未眠

看到播報的主播及解說的神情...就知道有一個元氣的好身體有多麼的重要...

黑眼圈或是眼神快要呆滯,或是臉色發白的人...最近可能在街頭上會越來越多....

而世界杯...才即將進入第五天而已....

聽到一位主播說....他決定要選擇性的看球,要不然真的身體會吃不消...說的真實在呀!

昨天的比賽都很精彩....日澳那一場最後六分鐘的翻盤讓人驚嚇,美國捷克那場沒想到捷克的進球如此之帥,當然Azzurri也證明他們火力的確強大,不管中柱或是進球,各有各的巧妙....

  Oh....No....中門柱....
 
Toni 只能做出少女的祈禱....希望不要再中柱

賽前....Pirlo跟兒子通電話....他答應兒子....爸爸一定買給你....no..no..是爸爸一定踢進球送給你,結果....不負"兒"望....Pirlo踢進一個超帥的進球....再次證明世界杯開賽前各個門將的恐懼....這次新的世界杯競賽球是門將的夢魘,是前鋒的福音....

Pirlo會進球...其實一定還要感謝一個人....Gilardino....如果不是Gila屈身躲得妙,這個球真的就會被Gila的頭擋下來啦.....


Nicola?....my son....爸爸辦到啦.....


難得Pirlo的室友Nesta能衝得那麼快....第一時間就抱住好朋友...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Andrea Pirlo scored one and set up another - Vincenzo Iaquinta's first Azzurri goal - as Italy begin their World Cup beating Ghana 2-0.

The Azzurri opened their World Cup campaign in Hanover against Finals debutants Ghana. With Gennaro Gattuso and Gianluca Zambrotta injured, Marcello Lippi decided to risk Francesco Totti from the start less than four months after he fractured his ankle. The Giallorossi captain was sporting a new short hair cut for the tournament. Surprisingly, Mauro Camoranesi was dropped in favour of Roma's Simone Perrotta in a three-man midfield. Alessandro Nesta recovered from a muscular problem to start.

Ghana have on paper one of the strongest midfields in the competition, with Michael Essien of Chelsea, former Juve man Stephen Appiah and Udinese's Sulley Ali Muntari. Roma's Sami Kuffour and Gyan Asamoah of Modena also featured.

Fabio Grosso's cross was charged down for a corner following a good link-up between Roma teammates Totti and De Rossi. From the resulting corner, Perrotta's strike was also parried by defenders, as goalkeeper Richard Kingston didn't look at all secure from set-pieces. At the end of a sustained period of pressure, Fabio Cannavaro nodded over from another set-piece.

De Rossi was booked after 10 minutes for a foul on Essien on the edge of the area. He made up for the error by charging down Appiah's set-piece and launching a counter-attack, but both Toni and Gilardino couldn't quite finish off Totti's cross and at the Milan man's effort, Kingston managed to deflect it on to the upright with his ankle.

Gilardino just failed to latch on to another splendid Totti through ball, then the Roma captain blasted over the bar as Andrea Pirlo surprised the defence by rolling a free kick across.

Nesta got his head to John Paintsil's cross to take it away from Borussia Dortmund forward Mathhew Amoah.

Italy continued to create the best chances and Cristian Zaccardo's floated assist went past everyone in the centre before it was deflected out for another corner. Pirlo intercepted a ball in midfield and sparked the attack with an acrobatic John Mensah clearance stopping Totti's chipped pass from reaching Gilardino.

There were timid penalty appeals for a handling offence on Italy's sixth corner in the opening 25 minutes, but Grosso's slip prompted some chaotic defending on Paintsil's cross.

The Azzurri rattled the frame of the goal for the second time with a fantastic team move. Toni flicked on Totti's pass with his head to get past his marker and thumped a scorching right-foot half-volley that slammed the crossbar and bounced off the ground to a grateful Ghanaian defender.

Ghana also threatened as the game opened up with two long-range shots whistling wide from Amoah and another for Chelsea star Essien. A cross was deflected into the path of Emmanuel Pappoe, who blazed over under pressure from Zaccardo.

Totti brought a fine save out of Kingston with a touched-on free kick palmed over from all of 35 metres. From the resulting Pirlo corner kick, Cannavaro's header settled on to the roof of the net. Toni's timid angled drive was gathered, but Nesta intercepted an Appiah cross-field pass for the totally unmarked Amoah on the counter-attack with his heel.

Toni drove Mensah mad with some smart footwork, earning yet another corner kick. This time the Azzurri made the set-piece count, as it came out to Pirlo for a fierce and true angled drive that slotted into the far corner through a sea of legs.

Straight after play resumed, Muntari was booked for hacking down Totti from behind. Grosso combined with Totti out wide on the left, but tried to shoot from an acute angle rather than cross for the unmarked Toni in the centre.

Ghana made a half-time change with Shilla Alhassan Illiasu replacing Pappoe in defence. The Azzurri threatened on the counter-attack after the restart with Perrotta setting up Toni, but goalkeeper Kingston was alert to the danger and intercepted.

Totti threaded through for Gilardino and his low drive was kept out by the goalkeeper's legs at the near post in another good chance for Italy. Totti's first time pass sent Toni running, but again Kingston showed composure to rush out and clear outside his area.

Gianluigi Buffon's first real intervention came on 53 minutes, when flying to his right to palm out an Essien rocket from distance on the half-volley.

Totti was in some pain after Paintsil accidentally trod on his left ankle and he left the field for Camoranesi as a precautionary measure, switching to a 4-4-2.

Toni's header was comfortably held and De Rossi also nodded wide from Camoranesi's cross, while Kuffour cleared with some difficulty after another less than secure Kingston exit. After just 11 minutes on the pitch, Camoranesi was booked for a foul on Muntari.

The Azzurri were under pressure now and seemed to sit back a little too much hoping to hit Ghana on the counter-attack, as Essien drilled wide from distance and Modena striker Asamoah saw yellow for a lunging tackle on Pirlo.

Vincenzo Iaquinta replaced Gilardino to give them more bulk upfront, while Ghana threw on Razak Pimpong for Amoah.

Perrotta's header from Camoranesi's centre wasn't strong enough to trouble Kingston, but moments later the Roma midfielder brought a tough save out of the goalkeeper after De Rossi had won back the ball in midfield.

Another promising counter-attack was halted for Iaquinta's offside position just past the halfway line with a clear run on goal.

Ghana had a great chance on 71 minutes when the Italian defence seemed to be taken by surprise and Asamoah fell under a possible push from De Rossi on the six-yard box, but the Brazilian referee waved play on.

Iaquinta was again halted for an offside position, but after play had been stopped, Kuffour hacked him down from behind. The Udinese striker was left clutching his right ankle and, had play continued, Kuffour might've been on the end of a red card. He was stretchered off, but was able to continue after treatment.

Ghana wanted a penalty when Asamoah burst between three players just inside the area, but the referee wagged his finger. The Modena striker was already on a booking, but avoided a second for simulation.

Perrotta won back the ball again and found Iaquinta unmarked, but his side-footed pass for Toni was far too weak and easily intercepted. Essien drilled wide from distance again and Alessandro Del Piero - who had been expected to start this match - replaced Toni to move Iaquinta into the centre.

Italy were hanging on under pressure from Ghana, but a defensive howler allowed them to double their lead. Roma defender Sami Kuffour was caught by surprise on Pirlo's through ball, under-hitting his backpass, as Iaquinta sprinted round the stranded goalkeeper and deposited into an empty net. It was the Udinese hitman's first ever Azzurri goal.

The Africans were shaken, but Essien kept pushing and Appiah's shot was charged down by Cannavaro in stoppages. Iaquinta foolishly earned a booking by kicking the ball away.
