VoltThe highlight of the pre-match summit: Southern European classic Italy vs. Spain in the semi-finals of this ever-changing European eleven national football championship. Four-time world champion and one-time European champion play against three-time European champion and one-time world champion.
Bella Italia, the heartbreaker of this game is not even eligible to participate in the 2018 World Cup finals, against the Spaniards who formed the style about ten years ago, they are getting better and better in this EM after years of mediocrity.London’s legendary Wembley Stadium, this Wednesday night (9pm FAZ European Football Championship live broadcast, In ZDF and MagentaTV) England and Denmark played the second finalists, in front of nearly 60,000 spectators for this football classic to provide a classic resonance space-a stage for the masses, as if there are no more epidemics.
In the square where the decision-making has to be mature, the 11 vs. 11 game has enough space for two newly formed teams without superstars to show the collective strength of both sides. The Spaniard is bigger. After Chiesa (60th minute) and Morata (80th minute) scored, the 90-minute and 120-minute scores were not fully reflected in 1:1.
Italy Miss Spinazzola
The penalty shootout had to be decided. Nervous problems. Italy was more courageous and won the penalty shoot-out 4-2. A turnover by Locatelli was followed by four hits, and the decisive one was Jorginho. On the other hand, Spain has too much influence on Olmo and Morata. The Italian journey continues. The finals will be held at the same venue on Sunday. “We played against a strong opponent. We suffered, but we took it home. We always believe in ourselves and will not let ourselves go desperate,” said winning player Jorginho.
Italy missed offensive left-back Spinazzola, who took six months of sick leave due to a ruptured Achilles tendon in the 2-1 quarter-final victory over Belgium. The latter was replaced by Brazil-born Emerson.Enrique traded central defender Paul for Garcia, and replaced the sick left-wing Sarabia with Bundesliga RB Leipzig Attack Olmo and center Morata against Oyazabal.
Squadra Azzurra was retrained by Mancini after decades of vigilant defensive preparations to attack the main theme. This time I bet quite cautiously that in the counterattack with a 4-3-3 formation, Furia Roja has maintained the familiar 4-3-3 for many years It has shaped the confident and determined combination of FC Barcelona and the elements of fluidity.
No wonder, because Enrique grew up in this club as a brave (national team) player and controversial coach. After the first Italian alert shot by Varela offside on the goalpost, Spain controlled the game with a long pass relay and surprised the Italians with an offensive formation, in which Olmo set many accents as suspense, and Oya Zabal attacked from the outside like Ferran Torres.
