PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

In the case that the initiative of the game has been fully grasped by their own side, and the opponent's offensive has been slow to open the situation, Italy's offensive and the quick counterattack after intercepting the opponent's attack have become sharper and sharper over time!

Although the Turkish players who were at the bottom of the game were tenacious and tenacious on the court with their enthusiasm, the huge gap in experience and ability between the players made it impossible for the Star and Moon Army to turn over on the field, and could only struggle under the strong pressure of the opponent.

Just six minutes after the opening whistle, the Italians scored their first goal of the tournament in an attack: Okan's cross from the flank was headed out by Cannavaro, and Albertini won the ball and slotted it straight into the middle and passed it to Totti, who was in the centre of the pitch!

Totti, who picked up the ball, took advantage of the Turkish player's lack of defence to put on a brilliant long run, and on the way he managed to dribble into the box after beating Havutku and Akeye who tried to stop him. Then, the Roman prince who was on the rise of the slaughter also passed Rustu, who had abandoned the goal, and then pushed the empty goal to open the scoring for the Italian team!

Falling behind by a goal early in the opening game further frustrated the Turkish players, who were already struggling under strong pressure from Italy, and at the same time exposed their inexperienced weakness in the tournament - after being taken the lead by a quick counter-attack, the Turkish players did not learn from it, but instead rushed and pressed the attack even harder, as if in this way they could break through Peruzzi's guard and recover the disadvantage of this goal.

Although Turkish football has emerged a number of good players in the past two years, like England, most of these players are very distinctive generals in the charge, who can control the rhythm of the game on the field and direct their teammates to run. In fact, it wasn't until Emre emerged at the '02 World Cup and secured the position of midfield commander that Turkey finally solved the problem.

Of course, the lack of commanders is only one of the reasons why Turkey has struggled to make a breakthrough in international competitions, and another important reason is that they do not have a qualified leader on the field!

Despite his unshakable position in the Turkish national team and his impressive goal percentage, it has to be said that Hakan Suker is not suitable to be a team leader. Otherwise, the biggest contributor to Galatasaray's victory in this season's UEFA Cup should not be the 35-year-old Romanian veteran Hadji, but him.

Relatively speaking, Hakan Suker is more of a conventional weapon for abuse, and he can easily score against defenders who are not as good as him, making people feel that he is really a good center forward; But if the defenders against him are replaced by Cannavaro and Maldini, then it is better not to expect him to lead the team to turn the tide.

In this way, the Turkish players, who had not yet found a commander and leader on the field, although they had to work very hard, pressed the attack aggressively, and soon suffered another heavy blow in the Italian counterattack due to the lack of air defense!

In the eighteenth minute, Jumit Davara, who tried to force his way through the Italian defense in the middle, was cleanly tackled by Antonio Conte without even touching the Italian defender's should! The latter, who made a wonderful tackle, immediately handed the ball to Albertini not far away, and the vice-captain of Milan did not stop the ball and directly made a long pass over the top!

Immediately afterwards, Vieri's header in the middle was ferried, and Philippe Inzaghi successfully countered offside to form a single knife, breaking through the attacking Rustu and pushing the ball into the near corner of the goal, extending Italy's lead to two goals!

Although Okan helped Turkey recover a point with a powerful volley from outside the box in the 62nd minute of the game, giving Turkish fans a little hope of equalizing, it didn't take long for Havuteku to accidentally bring down Inzaghi in the penalty area while defending, and the referee from Scotland, Dallas, made a quick decision and awarded Italy a penalty!

The next thing is very simple, Inzaghi, who made this penalty, personally took the penalty to rewrite the score to 3-1, and at the same time, it also completely sealed the victory of Italy in this game!

In the end, thanks to Totti's goal shortly after the opening kick-off and Inzaghi's brace, Italy had the best chance of taking all three points against Turkey and successfully overtaking hosts Belgium in the group standings to top the Group B spot alone!

Although they were somewhat frustrated by Italy's disadvantage in goal difference, the Belgian fans were quite satisfied and did not feel any dissatisfaction.

It is no wonder who has made the performance of Belgian football in international competitions worse and worse over the years, which has broken the hearts of the fans who support them, and at the same time invisibly lowered the psychological expectations of Belgium in this tournament. So, for Belgian fans, it's quite a thing to celebrate to see their backing team win the game, so what else is there to think about goal difference and group standings?

However, when the second round of Group B was completed three days later, even the most optimistic Belgian fans could not laugh. Because in this game against Italy, Belgium did not show the momentum and style of the European Red Devils at all, and they were led by the nose by the opponent throughout the game, and finally lost 0-3 after 90 minutes of regular play time!

On the Italian side, after getting off to a good start against Turkey, the elder Maldini did not continue to use the starting line-up from the first game as the outside world thought, but chose to take the initiative in this game and began to use more Fiorentina players: the five players from Fiorentina, Toldo, Nesta, Zambrotta, Vieri and Inzaghi started in this game as the best evidence!

Looking at the host's side, Wilmots, who is the core of Belgium's field, is inactive under Ambrosini's marking, Mpongsa and Strupa, who are incapacitated, are also helpless in the face of Italy's reinforced concrete defense, and Belgium, which is completely unable to use their fists and kicks on the offensive end, finally lost to the Apennines at the end of the game, which is understandable.
