In this European Championship, the French team, which is pinning hopes on revival, is still performing poorly. After the poor performance in the group stage, even France's own media openly criticized, "The French team was tarnished by Domenech's six-year rule, tainted by a federal system of governance, and the French team did not have a unified and united voice." The French team has become morally corrupt, demoralized and hopeless, firstly because of the mistakes the team has made in the past, and secondly because of the bad environment surrounding the team. ”

If no changes are made, the French team is really terminally ill.

"Zidane has retired, and the French team has not slowed down for six years. Ji Yi sent a message to complain to Fran, who felt that he didn't have the strength to laugh at the French team, so he could only answer funny, "If you want to say that, Puskas has retired, and the Hungarian team has not slowed down for 60 years." ”

After a while, Fran waited for Ji Yi's voice, and his tone was full of hatred for iron and steel, "Gao Yu has retired, and the Chinese team has not slowed down for 1,000 years." In fact, Fran doesn't know much about Chinese football, which is disliked by Ji Yi from time to time, so he can only ask, "I understand the truth, but who is Gao Yu?"

The scene was extremely embarrassing for a while.

Sweden beat England by one goal to top their group with England. Sweden will face Italy, while England will face Spain.

"Then we'll see you in the final!" Casillas is confident and hopes to be a big hit in the European Championship final.

Obviously, unlike the Swedish team that was considered weak two years ago, the fans have high hopes for a team that no one can underestimate.

After the 2010 World Cup champions Netherlands were knocked out of the group stage, Spain was considered the most likely team to win the tournament among the teams that qualified for the finals, and then Germany and Sweden were offered the same odds to win the tournament. The mentality of everyone in the team is somewhat impetuous, in fact, as the head coach, Lagerbeck himself feels that this Swedish team is boasted a little miserably.

"Apart from Ibrahimovic and Forlan, what is left of this Swedish team?" said many people who exaggerated the elevation of the Swedish team. Although this so-called first-class team must not even enter the European Championship except for two stars, the crux of the matter is -

"You have to see that the Swedish team must be inseparable from Ibrahimovic and Forlan!"

Ibrahimovic and Forlan were in good form and Sweden won, while Ibrahimovic and Forlan were in poor form and Sweden lost. This is already a reflection of all the national team competitions in two years. Among them, Forlan, the defensive stalwart, is recognized as stable, and the focus is more on whether Ibrahimovic can score goals in the game.

However, in addition to Sweden itself, the most knowledgeable player in the world about Ibrahimovic's style of play should be the opponent they will face next, Italy. Whether Italy can defend against Ibrahimovic's attack has become the key to deciding the outcome of the game.

However, it is true that the importance of Forlan as a defender is always weaker in determining the initiative of the game. When Forlan was in the Swedish team's Lagbeck tactical arrangement, he began to complain, "Look, this is all the pot you love to stay in Serie A." "Forlan is the only one in the team who dares to talk to the captain, and even the head coach Lagerbeck will not complain so indifferently, but the more important thing is that Ibrahimovic is really not angry at Fran.

Ibrahim pursed his lips and glanced at Fran, Ragbeck didn't know if he was overthinking, he felt that Ibu was a little wronged, and quickly interjected, "You guy, who has never moved a nest in La Liga, dare to complain about Zlatan?"

It was a vibrant but relatively inexperienced Italy team, with manager Prandelli bringing in a number of young players to experiment with his squad and tactics. With the game now on, just as Prandelli was able to guess the Swedish line-up, Lagerbeck was able to roughly predict Italy's main players.

"Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, De Rossi, Andrea Pirlo and Marchisio in midfield, and there are not many options other than Balotelli and Cassano in the forwards, and the variables are basically concentrated in the backline. Prandelli's Italy are more likely to use the 4312 formation, but it is not impossible for them to have three central defenders. ”

Although the outside world is not optimistic about the Italian team, although the World Cup champions six years ago are now only Buffon, Barzagli, De Rossi and Pirlo, but these people, plus a frontcourt Balotelli, are precisely the mainstay of this national team. No one in the Swedish team can afford to take it lightly, not to mention that the Swedish team does not have the strength to take it lightly.

The media always like to look for or create big news before a game, and Italy's Balotelli is often the kind of player that the media is most looking forward to. Because the hopes of both sides to score leads seem to be focused on Balotelli and Ibrahimovic respectively, a reporter interviewed Balotelli when he compared him to Ibrahimovic, and Balotelli's answer was very reportable, "I am like Ibrahim, I am me, he is him, two completely different people! In my opinion, if someone says that I look like Ibrahimovic, or just thinks so, they are exalting him." ”

Because the two had worked together at Inter Milan for a while, Ibrahimovic knew Balotelli a little bit and spoke privately to Forlan about the neurotic lad who you would love if you were willing to spend time with Mario. He is very rebellious, and of course many people don't know his personality, but he is undoubtedly a special genius.

But Balotelli said that Ibrahimovic, who had never lost in his "natural and perverse behavior," could not praise him, "It is Balotelli himself who wants to compare himself to me, and I will never compare him to me." The implication was obvious, and in Ibrahimovic's mind, Balotelli was far from being able to match himself, so there was no need to compare.

Fran, who was caught in the interview, was asked about another controversial topic, "Cassano said that wearing white is a shame for his life, what do you think?" Everyone knows it's something going on, but who called Cassano, a bad boy who has only scored four goals in two years at Real Madrid, really said that, wouldn't it be big news to ask about the recognized Real Madrid fan?

"Maybe he didn't respond to his physical problems with the club in time to change his size, so he would look bloated in a white jersey, right?" Forlan said, seemingly indicating that "Cassano's shame is because he looks fat in white", but those who have followed Cassano at Real Madrid know that this is a mockery of Cassano, who has gained 10 kilograms in a season, and he doesn't know how to seize opportunities.

The question was asked by an Italian journalist, who obviously thought that Real Madrid had ruined Cassano's bright future, and completely disagreed with Forlan's statement, and wanted to add something. Fran interrupted, "He's a professional footballer, and he's immersed in what he thinks he should have when he's 20 years old, food, wine, sex, entertainment, wealth, and he's going to have to bear the consequences." He had worked with Fabio [Capello] for a long time, so he should know what kind of player Fabio would give him a chance. ”

After saying that, Fran wanted to leave, but was still asked by the Spanish media, "Fran, what do you think of Balotelli?" Fran was stunned, "Zlatan said that Mario is a young man who is loved by everyone. After saying that, he left in a hurry.

As a result, there was a rather embarrassing situation in the news the next day.

Ibrahimovic: Balotelli doesn't deserve to be compared to me

Fran: Ibrahimovic Says Mario Loves Everyone

I don't know if I want to feel sorry for Ibrahim, who was demolished by Fran again. ’

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is simply a representative of the integrity of the mouth. ’

I don't know why, Ievee who lives in the news is always annoying, but Ievee, who lives in Fran's words, is cute. ’

However, these external news have nothing to do with the Swedish team, the game is about to start, and the lineup of Sweden 442 and Italy 4312 is not unexpected. Italy's midfield control is built on Pirlo's ability to read and organise the game, with De Rossi and Marchisio on either flanked by both the central commander and the ability to frequently cut forward or assist team-mates to score goals or score goals themselves.

Many people think that this is the easiest solution to isolating Pirlo, but where is it so easy to isolate Pirlo?

The game officially began, and although Sweden played with four midfielders, Forlan still had the responsibility to assist the midfielders under Italy's possession. Pirlo can't be completely isolated, at least to ensure that he can't have too many points to hit the ball and choose the time to play the ball, and the whole person is close to Van Pirlo from the first moment of holding the ball.

AC Milan's Ambrosia and Gattuso, and the Italian national team's De Rossi, all to prevent Pirlo from falling into a frontal defense, and then play to the advantage of pulling gaps, passing the ball and even showing the strength of long-range shots. But this is where the importance of close defence comes in, with Pirlo's body and pace not superior to Forlan, and he can only choose to play the ball to Marchisio to share the pressure of playmaking.

Both teams were not in a hurry to attack for a while, choosing to adapt to the rhythm in the midfield. Andrea Pirlo has also played against Real Madrid a few times, and the defender who has been over-touted by La Liga has been stuck in the perception of excellent defensive skills, after all, how easy is it to become a real free man now that the midfield organization has begun to shift to the midfield?

However, when he really faced it himself, Pirlo realized that he was better than a first-class defender and had a great sense of position.

When Pirlo seemingly inadvertently pulled out of the penalty area through a few passes with his teammates, before his teammates could prepare for it, the route of the pass was directly blocked by Forlan. Andrea Pirlo has plenty of confidence in his big-picture vision, but he hasn't really seen a defender with the same keen sense of the big picture.

Once or twice is a coincidence, when Pirlo tried to get involved with Marchisio and De Rossi's pass again and caused the football to be intercepted in the half-volley, Pirlo realized what was happening in the quick transition between attack and defense.

In fact, if he had chosen to be a midfielder in the first place, he would have achieved even higher achievements. Pirlo thought for a moment.

Maybe Forlan doesn't have enough possession of the ball in Real Madrid, but Forlan's style of play in the Swedish team can really be called a free man. He is able to attack or defend flexibly according to the situation on the field, organize the attack and defense of the whole team, read the game as quickly as possible, command his backline, and always be ready to take action to defend himself when the defense is breached.

And this is what Forlan thinks is the right time to attack.

There were too many players in the midfield, Forlan made a long pass to the Italian half, the direction was not in the middle, Ibrahimovic running parallel to the air football, and the Italian defenders tried to stop the football in front of Ibrahimovic. But Ibrahimovic's choice was always unexpected, he didn't choose the easy way, but jumped high on his chest to stop the ball in the middle of the flight, and after landing on the ground, he didn't wait for the opposition defender to close in, and directly knocked it to his team-mate Elmand, who was already about to burst into the box. Elmand was full of confidence, shot directly with his feet, and the football angle flew straight into the corner of the goal, but unfortunately, it was their goalkeeper who stood in front of the Italian goal, Buffon.

Born Buffon, born at the wrong time, this is not only the grievance of the Italian goalkeeper, but also the grievance of countless strikers who faced Buffon.

Gianluigi Buffon kicked straight into midfield, Pirlo drove straight in the direction of the ball, and De Rossi, who had the ball, passed straight to Montolivo.

On the basis of the 4312 formation, the Italian team will first base itself on a solid defense against the enemy, mainly penetrating with short passes in the middle, supplemented by the insertion of two wings to break through the opponent's defense, which is also the traditional style of play of the Italian team for many years. The transfer from Pirlo's possession point to the flanks, precise overhead picks into the ribs and sharp counter-attacks will be an important means for Italy to tear apart the opposition's defence.

And Montolivo, who frequently switched positions with Andrea Pirlo in the No. 4 position in this European Championship, is the central midfielder in the '1' position, or some people think that he is a pure midfielder.

"Italy's attack in this round is too fast, and the Swedish team after conceding the goal will face a crisis before they have time to regret it, and Pirlo's transfer timing is too accurate, even if it is two seconds late, it will face the danger of being intercepted by Forlan again. Montolivo, Montolivo found Balotelli! Forlan quickly returned to the defense, but he was still too far away, and Sweden's Melberg had made a contribution in the first few attacks, but he was out of position now.

"Balotelli one-on-one shot!"

Sweden goalkeeper Isaksen watched Balotelli's every move nervously, and it was a mistake to let Italy have a one-on-one ball in the first ten minutes.

“... Did Balotelli go crazy? instead of taking advantage of the victory, he slowed down his speed, almost strolling. In contrast to Fran, who was returning at high speed, he approached... No, Forlan cleared the ball at Balotelli's feet and Italy almost lost a one-goal lead that was already in hand!"
