The Olympic Stadium in Kyiv, from the morning of the final, was already full of people and restless, with England and Italian fans going wild and unbeatable.

To put it mildly, there are many football hooligans in these two countries, if you exclude some religious countries in Central Europe.

Needless to say, it was the first time since the European Championship was born that they were able to touch the turf of the final, but Italy were not much better, and their results at the tournament were much worse than the World Cup.

The only time they won the cup was 44 years ago, when the third European Championship was already the year of the monkey.

Whoever wins tonight will be a great breakthrough for their country's European record record, and they take it as seriously as the World Cup, whether it's the fans, the media or the players themselves.

"The Italian team is not easy to play", Capello stressed again in training this morning, the British media has been too numb to their boasting in the past few days, and he has to cool down the team again and again.

In this final, a calm mind is more important than any tactics, and as an Italian, of course, he knows what it means if he makes mistakes on the pitch tonight and makes unnecessary mistakes.

Whether it was due to excessive excitement or nervousness, that would have been a disaster, because England would have to press out once Italy had the peace of mind to fight back.

The pace of the two centre-backs will then be England's Achilles' heel and he doesn't believe Prandley doesn't see that.

Italy's counter-attack was different from Portugal's, they were more disciplined and efficient, relying on the tactics of the whole team rather than one or two arrowheads up front.

"Stand still, pay attention to the distance between you, and don't let them easily cut off the ......," Capello shouted from time to time in the rare two days of training in person.

On the main side, in addition to those thunderous positions, Frank Lampard is also impressively in the column, wearing the main vest, firmly in the area at the back of the midfield, taking on the role of transitioner.

That's right, Fabio Capello used Frank Lampard again for tonight's showdown, and he was interested in the mentality and experience of the veteran.

Italy is not a full-pitched style of play, Balotelli and Cassano are not crazy runners up front, and there is no need for a Milner to help defend everywhere.

The most important thing now is the sense of position, which Milner is obviously not as good as Lampard, and as long as he is in a good position, Capello believes that the ability to fight in the Italian position is not much stronger.

Germany lost because they believed too much that they could win, which led to an attacking mentality in their players, allowing Italy to seize two counter-attacking opportunities in a row.

Luck is sometimes just a derivative of the tactical game on the spot, and if Germany had been more stable, maybe the outcome would have been different.

And the number one superstar in the team, Mark Qin, has spoken a lot less in the past few days, and his expression is different from before, even during the World Cup final in South Africa, he has never been like this.

He devoted himself to every training session, and the schedule was simply outrageously precise, as if he had fallen into his own world.

"He's highly concentrated, polishing his state, and he's brewing emotions," said captain Steven Gerrard, who stopped the coaching staff and team doctor who were about to intervene, "Don't bother him......"

He had seen this situation once when he was in Liverpool, that was when he played Barcelona in the Champions League, and a few days before the game, Mackin was the same, extremely focused.

……

"The Italian team is not easy to play", Zhang Lu also said this sentence in the daytime event analysis program, "Especially Italy in the final, it has always been a hard bone"

"England, I see that the British media are quite optimistic in the past two days, but the players and Capello themselves have to adjust their mentality, otherwise the final will suffer"

"Yes, almost all of the two teams announced their starting lists in advance after lunch, let's take a look first," Zhan Jun said at this time, and at the same time let the big screen behind him turn up the display.

England:

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Defenders: Ashley Cole, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Johnson

Midfielders: Barry, Lampard, Mackqin, Wayne Rooney, Gerrard

Forward: Carroll

Italy:

Defenders: Abate, Chiellini, Barzagli, Bonucci

Midfielders: Marchisio, De Rossi, Pirlo, Montolivo

Forwards: Balotelli, Cassano

'With almost all of the teams in their regular starting line-up and England Frank Lampard back in the starting line-up, it looks like the game against Portugal was just a tweak for Capello,' said Zhan.

"Hmm", Zhang Lu nodded and began to analyze the playing style of the two teams, "England's formation is a bit like 451, but we all know that the real fight depends on how three people run, namely Mr. Ma, Gerrard and Rooney, they can basically be said to be the source of England's attack"

"These three people are all sideways and middle, up and down, and what England will do tonight depends mainly on them"

"As for Italy, the newspaper is 442, in fact, their style of play is 4312, Marchisio and De Rossi are equivalent to double midfielders to protect Pirlo, Montolivo is equivalent to the front midfield, he and Cassano, in the front position is very lively"

"Yes", Huang Jianxiang also said, "In the game, we often see Cassano pulling the side"

"Hmm", Zhang Lu nodded, "Needless to say, Italy's offense, almost 90% of the ball comes out of Pirlo's feet, and the style of play is also well-known for that set of defense, but whether you can beat him or not, you have to watch on the field to know"

"Yes", Zhan Jun said, "so tonight's matchup between Mr. Ma and Pirlo is also quite interesting, and the mainstream media in European football are also focusing on this game"

At this time, the big screen behind them called up the news extracted from the European media.

"Let's take a look, this is a report from the famous European football tactics review media "442", they said that tonight's game will be Mark's enthronement battle, if he can lead the team to win, then, his status in European football, will be straight after Zidane!"

"Also, this is an interview with Beckenbauer", Huang Jianxiang continued, "He said that he is optimistic about England, with the experience of Germany, he thinks that England will not give Italy an easy chance to score, and the decision of the game is likely to be Mark and Pirlo, but Pirlo's attacking ability is much inferior to Mark ......"

Almost all major mainstream media in Europe have commented on this game, and you can imagine the heat and restlessness at this time.

One of the most eye-catching, the direct confrontation between two generations of midfield masters, I believe that tonight, will detonate the football world.

"Jianxiang", Zhan Jun asked with a smile, "Do you still support Italy tonight?" ”

"Hehe", Zhang Lu couldn't help laughing.

After all, the once great left-back joke is too famous, and his personal tendencies are exposed.

"Hey", Huang Jianxiang scratched his head, "Actually, emotionally speaking, I have been commenting on Serie A with Director Zhang for so many years, and I must be more or less tendentious......"

"But tonight is different, Mr. Ma is here, so why can't there be other home teams in the hearts of the Chinese, and this is such an important game for Mr. Ma, I still hope that Mr. Ma will ascend the throne......"

A World Cup can almost achieve a generation of flags, such as the lone wolf in 96, Da Luo in 02, and Ma Qin in 10 years, and winning the championship in this kind of major international cup in a row is a generation of kings.

Especially in Europe, the influence of the European Cup is a few streets away from other continental cups, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small World Cup, even to win the World Cup European Cup, even in the previous life, only Zidane's France and Spain with a blowout of talents can be done.

And how similar is the state of England today to France in 2000? In '98, no one thought that France would win the championship, and that made Zidane what made him, just as no one in South Africa thought England would win the championship and finally made Mackqin.

Now, all of Europe, except for Italy, are waiting for Mackin to complete the great deeds completed by Zidane, his debut is even brighter than Zidane, and now his light has caught up with Zidane.

And not only in Europe, but also Chinese fans around the world are also waiting for this moment, two years ago it was a surprise, so today they want to witness a Chinese star rewrite the history of football.

James, the little emperor of the United States, also sent his blessings to Mark Qin after winning his NBA championship: I believe that my friends can do it, just like I did in the NBA, we are all extremely strong fighters in our hearts!

Restless, everything is restless!

Except for the person who really wants to face off.

Pirlo, as usual, finished his training session very normally, and there was nothing unusual on his face.

When interviewed, he only replied formulaically: "Mark? I don't need to say it, I didn't expect him to get to where he is today, but the most important thing now is that we want to win the championship."

On the contrary, his teammates are more enthusiastic than him, "We believe in Andre, he has never disappointed, he will lead us to the final victory"

And what about Mackchen?

"What? Is he asleep? Neville's eyes widened incredulously, and his roommate Milner shrugged his shoulders and gently pushed the door open.

I saw Ma Qin lying on his side on the bed, holding the quilt, sleeping soundly, but the problem was that it was almost time for them to leave!

"What a big heart......", Neville shook his head, thinking to himself, "Alright, let him sleep again, and you can wake him up in 20 minutes when we officially leave"

"Oh", Neville, who remembered something, took two steps and turned back and said, "Help him clean up so he doesn't have to rush for a while"

"He had already packed up his ...... before going to bed"

"Tsk," Neville nodded.

The ultimate decisive battle still came as promised, and the restlessness outside and the calm inside the two teams were like two complete worlds.

Here, just a few miles from the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv, they can say they are right on their doorstep.

Italy was not in the city, and they had already arrived in the city before England.

Boom, the streets and alleys of Kyiv have long been filled with fans from all over the world, and the blue sea water and white flames are particularly distinct.

"Go back, damn British!"

"you, damn fascist ......"

"England will win, Queen willing......"

"Italy, Italy ......"

Conflicts are inevitable, anytime, anywhere, tens of thousands of police forces are like facing the enemy, armed with shields and electric batons, from the main street to the stadium perimeter, layer by layer!

"Ah............h

"Really?" , he looked up at the alarm clock hanging on the wall, "Well, ......, I slept so soundly......"

"Queen bless, England will win ......", the moment he opened the window, it was like a hammer, and the noise came!

"Looks like a lot of people are here."

"Didn't you look, the doors are blocked, and Touzheng is suggesting that the local police urgently dredge it, which is more powerful than South Africa, tsk", Milner shook his head, looking incredulous.

Mark Qin looked at the crowded street and smiled, then, let's come......
