The pinnacle duel between the two national teams of Spain and Italy can actually be regarded as a bit dramatic in the course of this European Cup.

The reason is simple, these two teams have been placed in the same group as early as the group stage. Then, in the first round of the group stage match between the two sides, they shook hands with a score of 1-1, and they have long been very familiar with each other.

Such two opponents, in the official final of the European Cup, the familiarity between each other, so that they hardly have too much tentative attitude, and immediately started to work seriously!

They had each studied each other for a long time, and when they met on such an important stage as the final, both sides were quickly determined to get ahead.

They are too familiar, and they all make plans to take the lead, ready to destroy the other party's preparation rhythm that they have adapted to familiarity in advance.

Therefore, in this tournament, Spain has always played pass-and-control football. Since the start of this final, there has not been too much waste of time and energy, the whole team has been more efficient, and the players' awareness of moving forward has become stronger.

As for Italy, although offensive tactics are not their first choice and good at it, they have excellent attacking players such as Balotelli and Cassano, and in terms of playing style, they can also use the personal strength of the frontcourt players to carry out rapid counterattack tactics and stir up trouble in the hinterland of Spain's penalty area!

Contrary to what almost everyone imagined, it was an unexpectedly fast-paced game, and from the very beginning of the game, the scene was mired in high-intensity and high-paced confrontation, and the familiar two sides did not waste the slightest opportunity to play, and tried very hard and desperately to take the initiative to seize the balance of victory in advance!

As the referee on duty, Li Xuan's favorite wonderful game process is actually similar to this.

In such a high-paced style, he needs to do nothing but detect fouls and other problems in time, and just leave the game to the high-level players on both sides. At the same time, the style of the game is also extraordinarily exciting, so that he who is closest to the immersive scene can further feel the beauty of the high-level football competition!

In addition to officiating the game, in fact, Li Xuan has always been paying attention to the key players on the field who are competing on both sides, trying to witness their excellent performance in such a big field as the final.

After all, even though football is a team-based sport, everyone needs to act together. But in some critical moments, it is often necessary to rely on the flash of inspiration of those special key players to take away the game, which is the special feature of the stars on the field.

But in fact, the Spanish team is really star-studded, Li Xuan has carefully observed for a long time in the process of law enforcement, and has not found any Spanish superstars who are more in shape, and their performances are almost all excellent.

So, it's an even more dire situation, as one of the strongest teams in football in recent years, almost every player in the Spanish team seems to be able to make the difference in a flash of light.

This made the opponent very embarrassed, and they didn't know how to make a comprehensive and meticulous defense to stop the Spanish team's indiscriminate bombardment. Among them, it seems that anyone in Spain is likely to burst out.

Li Xuan was extremely looking forward to seeing this, and kept guessing where the Spanish team would suddenly have that surprising key change.

As for Italy, due to the economic environment and the renewal of stars in recent years, it is obviously much worse than Spain's surging squad. Today's team still relies more on Italy's defensive and team-like traditions, as well as the special play of a small number of special players, to get to the stage of this European Championship final.

As a result, Balotelli, a famous bad boy, will suddenly become the object and key Mr.

Of course, as a rare black player in the Italian team, Balotelli did not live up to the expectations and trust of everyone in this European Cup, and his performance was very good.

In the difficult semi-finals just past, he easily scored two goals and almost single-handedly sent the German team home, and now he is in hot form!

Balotelli is one of the few players in the Italian team who can directly use his personal ability to change the situation of the game, so Li Xuan's specific attention to him on this final stage is obviously more concerned about Cheng than for some other Italian players.

It's strange, maybe it's because the teammates of this Italian team do take good care of Balotelli, and their head coach Prandelli also treats Balotelli as a core player, which makes Balotelli really very rare in this European Cup without being stupid at all, let alone doing the kind of weird brain-dead events he has done several times.

For the time being, it seems that Balotelli, who has turned back as a prodigal son, really looks like he has some potential as a good player.

On the way to enforce the game, Li Xuan ran with a little emotion, continued to pay attention to another attack of the Italian team on the field, and couldn't help but be more curious about Balotelli who was preparing to pick up his teammates with a serious face.

Then, he suddenly found that Balotelli, who was impressive to him on the spot, was quickly rushing in his direction at this moment!

Li Xuan was slightly startled, and then instantly realized in time that the Italian player on his side, under the strong pressure of the Spanish players, was obviously forced to subconsciously pass the football indiscriminately, but the football rolled towards his position. The other Spanish players were already rushing towards the football that had lost control of the right to do so at the first time!

Therefore, Balotelli's rapid sideways run at the moment must be chasing the football, and he wants to shovel the football back before the opponent can react.

However, it may be that the straight line between the two points is the shortest, and then Balotelli concentrates and rushes forward too quickly. So much so that when he ran towards the football at high speed, he had no choice but to encounter the referee Li Xuan, who happened to be standing between him and the football landing point at this moment!

Balotelli wanted to quickly retract his feet, but it was obviously too late, but when he saw him, he was extremely fierce and directly shoveled Li Xuan to the ground!

Obviously, Li Xuan didn't really hide from the past.

Rao is agile enough, but this time he still discovered the crisis situation a little late, and in order to avoid suddenly twisting his body and hurting himself.

So, under Balotelli's very ferocious tackle, he almost flew and rolled in the air for a moment, and then fell to the ground! (To be continued.) )
