A loud bang came to Italy's post, and the shot was 20 centimeters away from the goal.

"Oops" Fan Shang spread his hands, "It's just a little bit close, it's a pity." ”

The attack was so sudden that today's TV commentator did not have time to broadcast the starting line-ups of both teams.

"The French attack was very sudden, but the effect was very good, and it seems that Fan Shang had arranged it before." Charbidor said.

"Yes, Fan Shang will do some targeted tactics more or less before each game, although it does not involve the formation and style of play, but these small fine-tuning is also very useful." In this European Cup, Charbidor really doesn't want to continue to fight alone, so C****+ invited the French superstar Papin, who has just retired from Bordeaux, to be the guest commentator.

"Let's hurry up and talk about the starting lineup of the two teams today, the French side, this time Fan Shang used a 4231 formation, a bit like Bordeaux in the past two years, goalkeeper Barthez, four defenders, Lizarazu, Desailly, Blanco and Thuram, this back line has not been changed since the 98 World Cup." Charbido began to report the starting line-ups of both teams, mixed with his own assessments.

"Yes, in fact, since Euro '96, there hasn't been much change in the past four years, and I want to say that Lizarazu and Thuram are in good physical condition, and the two of them have never dropped the chain when they were in international competitions." Papan was sure too.

"The next two in midfield are Didier Deschamps and Patrick Vieira, so why didn't Vincent use Claude Makellele? Is this his confidant? "Charbido has a stomach problem.

"4231 shows that France wants to attack, in this case Makelele is not very suitable, Deschamps can pass and defend, he is better in this position." Papan, of course, had to explain.

"Well, this makes sense, three front-court Pire, Zinedine Zidane and Djokaeff, a single striker Thierry Henry. It looked like France were really going to attack, Zinedine Zidane, Pire and Djokaeff were on the pitch at the same time, which is really unusual in a tournament. "Charbido also analyzed a little after broadcasting France's starters.

"Yes, but when you look at Italy's starting lineup, I think you can understand why France are attacking." Papin took Italy's starting lineup and prepared to read, "Italy is a 5212 defensive formation, and the goalkeeper is Toldo, who performed bravely in the last game, and now they are all called Santa Tordo, haha." Papan also learned to liven up the atmosphere.

"Three centre-backs Nesta, Iuliano and Cannavaro, two full-backs Pexoto and their captain Maldini, two midfielders Albertini and Di Biagio, forward Fiore, two forwards Totti and Del Vecchio. This is obviously a posture to defend, and if the back five is not defending and counterattacking, it is really a mistake of the manager. Papin analyzed, "If France is also defending and counterattacking, then there is really no way to watch this game, and we have to thank Vincent for not having the urge to press the shutdown button in front of the TV." ”

"Yes, I thought of that too, but it's not a small difference from Fan Shang's best defensive counterattack." Charbidor was also a little skeptical.

"Fan Shang is really not a person who can only defend and counterattack, Bordeaux's 4231 in the past two years is Fan Shang's transformation, as long as the players meet the requirements, Fan Shang can use various tactics, he really has no restrictions, as long as he can win, he can control any tactic." As a person who understands Fan Shang, Papan justifies Fan Shang's name.

"Huh? Or does Pierre know Vincent better, after all, he has worked together in Bordeaux for several years, and now does Pierre have a position in Bordeaux after retiring? Charbidor took the subject away again.

"Uh... Well, of course I will stay in Bordeaux in the position of assistant coach and still in the learning phase. Papan said honestly.

"Congratulations, Pierre, you haven't left the industry. Let's watch the game. "Charbido has finally brought the conversation to the game." Judging from the opening minutes, it was really Italy who defended, while France attacked. However, we were careful when we saw France attacking, with Didier Deschamps and Patrick Vieira positioned further down the pitch and did not stand directly in front of the Italian penalty area. ”

"This is understandable, after all, it is an important game like the final, no one will not be cautious, Fan Shang did not play a defensive counterattack today is already a breakthrough, we can't expect him to put all 10 players into the attack." Papin also has his own take on the form on the field.

In the fourth minute, Thierry Henry played a clever ball past Nesta on the left flank, and then crossed before Cannavaro could make up the defense, the ball was cleared by Iuliano, but it was not kicked, Pire took a long shot from outside the box, and the shot looked good, but it was disrupted by Nesta, who returned to the defense.

In the 5th minute, Italy launched a counterattack with a long pass, and just now the French players were still immersed in Henry's clever breakthrough, so the back line did not pay attention to let Del Vecchio get a chance to chase the ball without defense, but fortunately Barthez is a goalkeeper with a considerable range of movement, this time he ran out of the box and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

In the following minutes, Italy went on the offensive and they were given two corners in quick succession, especially the second corner, which Totti stole to the first point, which was not headed in, but also posed a threat to France.

Now that Italy has attacked, the French side cannot be left behind. Vincent reached out from the sidelines to let the French team press up, but couldn't let Italy play out.

However, France's next few attacks were to no avail, with one of Thierry Henry's shots from the left side of the box hitting the post.

The Italian counter-attack was quite sharp, and a cross from Fioli gave Del Vecchio a chance to grab a point in front of the goal, but unfortunately the striker's shooting skills were really amazing, and this opportunity actually shot the ball to the corner flag.

Today's referee's penalty was still relatively loose, and the two teams' backs were not punished by the referee several times, and several tackles were ignored by the referee.

"Today's referee is amazing, not afraid of big things," Fan Shang said to Santini beside him.

"Well, if the whistle is so loose all the time, maybe someone will really get hurt." Santini was worried.

Fan Shang climbed out of the half-grounded coach's seat, pulled Pire, and instructed, "Let them not be afraid of fouls, the whistle is loose today." Piret nodded and went to convey what Fan Shang meant.
