(Thanks to the cattle of the flower planter for the reward!)

"Hello everyone, the last quarter-finals of the 2012 European Cup, the Olympic National Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine, where England and Italy will compete for the last ticket to the semi-finals."

"Before the game, we saw Fabio Capello and Coach Prandelli shaking hands cordially. Both of them are famous coaches in Italy and also have the history of playing for Juventus. I believe their meeting today will give the fans a happy ending. A great matchup."

The English media and the Italian media paid particular attention to this game. The sensational effect before the game has already appeared. At the critical moment, it is still to see who is more reliable.

"Although Italy has not won much in the competition in recent years, their strength is still very strong. Pirlo, as the core of the midfield, is the focus of England's defense. What they have to do is to break the Italian's chain defense. Let Buffon's position be invisible." In the Sky Sports broadcast room, Martin talked eloquently, "I have to say that Prandelli is a good coach. He brought Italy to such a state, which is almost the same."

The pride in his bones still exists. Even if Italy's population declines, it seems that their results in international competitions are better than England's.Their tactical quality determines the lower limit of the team. If the players are so poor that they can't even play complete Italian tactics, they probably won't even be able to enter the World Cup.

Italy is not far behind, "I have to say that the Premier League has been very popular in recent years, and has reached the Champions League finals in a row. This year's Champions League champion is Chelsea in the Premier League. But the England national team has no direct relationship with the league. The tactical quality of their players It’s more worrying.”

"I believe Coach Prandelli will show Capello today that he really can't create decent results after leaving Italy."

The battle of Prandelli and Capello?At least two people are very concerned about the game.They watched the players tee off nervously, Capello thinking about defeating Italy, thinking about advancing to the European Cup final.

"Betting on my career, I must succeed." Capello pursed his mouth.

Italy took the lead in the kick-off, and the English players followed the pre-match deployment, based on defense, and gradually took the initiative.The Italian deployment is just the opposite, they want to attack.

At the beginning of the game, Cassano returned the ball, and Balotelli quickly advanced forward. With a simple cooperation, the Italian players followed up from the side and opened up their posture.

"Paste Pirlo." Morrison yelled in the frontcourt. He knew the threat of Pirlo. Even if Sleepy got the ball in the backcourt, the long pass at the critical moment was extremely dreadful.

Why did Italy let him start?Just take this kick and simplify the pass with one kick.Prandelli also arranged Marchisio and De Rossi two thugs beside him.

Milner did not take the initiative to grab and landed near the midfield.Pirlo found an opportunity, and with a coquettish long pass, it really crossed England's midfield defense, and the ball flew through the air.

Landed beautifully, bounced, and kept rolling.

Whoosh!
Sure enough, after Balotelli moved forward, he just sped up to get rid of Parker's follow-up defense. Terry rushed up decisively. Balotelli was not stupid, wiped it with his foot and continued to accelerate.

Lescott knows Balotelli very well. Both of them are old teammates. They didn't step forward and followed the young people. They stuck together very tightly and couldn't step down, which limited his space for display.

Balotelli had no choice. When he was in the middle, he found the double-team player coming up, and quickly kicked the ball out and shot.

Only 35 seconds into the opening, Italy completed the first shot. Hart was well prepared and easily confiscated the ball.He was a little scared. This shooting arrangement was exactly the same as Milan's lightning goal against Barcelona last season.

Italy seized the advantage. Near the center circle arc, De Rossi and Marchisio fought hard. With the assistance of Montolivo, Italy directly crushed the England midfielder.

Morrison couldn't receive the ball on the wing, so he could only approach the center to assist in the defense.Parker was still powerful, and cooperated with Milner to break the ball at Montolivo's feet.

His first thought was for Morrison.

Morrison started early, the ball landed in front of him, and with a flick of his foot, he just stepped over De Rossi's defense, crossed the halfway line, and continued to charge forward.

Marchisio hastened to keep up, forming a second line of defense.Pirlo's defense?It's just defensive eyes, he is more using a good position to harass.

Morrison ignored them and made a long pass with one foot sticking to the ground while running at high speed. The ball passed near Pirlo. Ashley Young immediately accelerated and rushed to the vicinity of the penalty area, but couldn't make an inch.

He just adjusted one step. Italy's defense line has been successfully deployed and it is difficult to deal with it.Helpless, Ashley Young had to give the ball to Rooney who retreated. Rooney took the ball with his back and turned around.

There is also no shooting space, transfer, Morrison on the right, and Abate beside Morrison, the angle of receiving the ball is not good to attack directly, and made a small cooperation with Milner who inserted behind.

Milner made a transition and hurried back to Morrison's feet. Morrison ran back and had already made room for shooting.

Milner's pass quality is not bad. Morrison chose to shoot. Rooney understood it and ran immediately, ready to make a supplementary shot.

The strength is good, and the angle is also very tricky.The ball was about to cross the threshold when suddenly an arm stretched out.He hugged the ball directly and held it in his arms.

"This guy, this angle still has so much strength, it's amazing." Buffon squatted on the ground and took a few breaths before standing up, like a backcourt god.

He is the spiritual pillar of Italy. As long as he is there, Italy's defense cannot be underestimated.

Morrison was quite helpless. His shooting technique, angle and strength were already of high quality, but he still couldn't break through Buffon's ten fingers.Today's game is not easy to play.

"The game just started, the two teams didn't need to try, and they did it with real knives and guns. Balotelli and Morrison contributed the first shots on target for the team respectively. It was a wonderful game."

"It seems that the two teams regard offense as the most real pursuit. Anyway, the defense line is not solid, so it is better to attack. As long as the goal is scored, then come to defend. This strategy is also feasible."

Capello's face is not good. The team's defense is not as stable as he imagined. If the area is bombed again, problems may arise. The most important thing is to strengthen the protection of the midfield.

The Italian offensive continued unabated. In the 3rd minute, Cassano rushed to the vicinity of the penalty area and had no chance to shoot. He gave it to Marchisio who followed to seek a second breakthrough.Facing the tracking of Glenn Johnson, Marchisio followed the pass back near the bottom line on the right. De Rossi put aside Gerrard and volleyed with his left foot from 35 meters away. The ball hit the left post and popped out.

Hart's expression changed in fright.
