The next day, the two matches in Group C continued, before the start of the match between Italy and Croatia, people were obviously more optimistic about Italy's prospects of qualifying, but when the game was over, the result once again flashed people's waists, 90 minutes of battle, the two teams drew 1:1, and only won two points in the two games, which means that in the final round of the game, the situation of Italy to qualify from the group will become very dangerous, and they may even repeat the mistake of winning in the final round of 2004.

In this game, Balotelli did not sit on the bench as rumored before the game, but continued to start, and it is clear that even Prandelli is desperate for this game, Balotelli will bring people his god side, not the nervous side.

The battle against Croatia, Italian fans have reason to be depressed, it turns out that the team is playing very well, but the kicking is not right, seeing that the Croatians have a strange advantage, in fact, the two sides are still 11 against 11, Pirlo is also on the field, although it is not a reversal, but the situation is inadvertently reversed, where is the key point?

Maybe even God wants to see Balotelli on the field, he was annoyed by Prandelli's substitution, "Ba God" just a few minutes after the game, Mandzukic scored a goal, the "People's Hero" is gone, and the "Dick Silk Shooter" can't stand out, when Balotelli is on the field, the Italian team plays quite interestingly, as soon as he leaves, it seems that the breath on the Blues is also taken away, and in the last 20 minutes, what did the Italian team that was equalized do? Just pressed and beaten by Croatia!

Although this is a bit biased, it must be admitted that the aura of NoBalotelliNoParty exists in the dark, Balotelli has so many demon moth things, and he played such a slow single knife raid in the first round, but the fans still like to create a fresh sense of Ba God at any time, and he seems to have lost something in his heart, the cheering is no longer powerful, and even the players on the field are playing lifeless.

After the opening, Balotelli was very active, or turned and hit hard, or attacked at a fixed point, and made three threatening shots in a row, and in the thirtieth minute, there was another angry shot that was almost a millimeter.

Watching Balotelli's game, it is easy to find such a pattern, he is not a small threat after holding the ball in the front of the penalty area, and the speed of his personal attack is very fast, which is determined by his technical ability, that is, he can recycle playing the second striker if necessary, the Croatian players must know all kinds of interesting facts about Balotelli, but when they get to the field, they will quickly find that Balotelli is definitely not easy to mess with. So as the game progressed, Croatia's caretaker of Balotelli was significantly heavier, not giving him a chance to get the ball.

If you don't have a chance to get the ball, do you deserve to be exchanged?

Such thinking is naïve, and in fact Andrea Pirlo's free-kick was the result of a foul on Balotelli by the Croatian player.

Because of the presence of Balotelli, it attracted many opponents to focus on defense, thus giving other players the opportunity to find space to cut in, in fact, this is also a so-called fulcrum role of a high school striker.

But apparently Prandelli had Di Natale in his mind, and the coach probably thought it might be more appropriate to change to a short attacking lineup to hit Croatia, so this substitution that broke the hearts of many fans who love to watch the excitement appeared.

But it backfired, the combination of Di Natale and Cassano is on the contrary with Croatia's appetite, and even their refreshment, their defenders are not afraid of such a combination of walking on the ground, and they don't need to send more people to stare at "Di Yi", and the whole lineup suddenly became a lot smoother.

The coach was wrong this time, could it be that he, like the average football fan, also sees Balotelli simply as a funny character?

But the real problem is that if Balotelli only creates an atmosphere, let alone the Premier League, the national team, and even professional football. His technical skills and physical fitness are the best magic weapons for individuals to gallop on the pitch to their heart's content, and they can also rely on their own ability to create a front-court situation that meets the overall tactical needs of the team.

In this game, Balotelli's only weakness was that he was a little unlucky in scoring, and he didn't have the opportunity to show off a celebration that would never be expected.

The final game, Italy vs. Ireland, considering the presence of Trapattoni, this ball will not be easy, but the Italians must not be controlled by the ubiquitous hardness of the Irish team, otherwise they will repeat the mistakes of eight years ago, and Balotelli is the key figure in the Italian team to reduce the hardness of the opponent's defense, Prandelli's big gamble in life, it seems that it is still suitable to gamble with the "Ba God", and it is best to let him play the full 90 minutes.

In addition to the second-year youth Balotelli, one of the most attractive highlights of this game is the confrontation between two world-class midfielders, Pirlo vs Modric.

Although it is not as heavyweight as Pirlo vs Xavi, it is also a matchup in this European Cup, Pirlo, who scored the signature free kick, and Modric, who beat the decent Modric, did not help the Italian team end the embarrassment of not winning against Croatia.

Croatian legend Boban once said that Modric is Croatia's Pirlo, but the pair of "mirror faces" have rarely met.

The Croatian was well aware of Pirlo's quality and Vukojevic stayed by his side, pressing Jellavic, a little further back, on the spot when Italy attacked from the back.

Italy's corner kick was also handed over to Pirlo, but unfortunately the corner kick he sent in the first half was wasted by his teammates, compared to Modric, whose basic function is only to sort out the team's attack and hand the ball to the wings, Pirlo's work is more heavy, in addition to taking corners and free kicks, but also constantly forward to comb the attack, from the ground straight pass to the oblique long pass, Pirlo almost covered the entire field.

In the 40th minute, Pirlo had a real chance when Balotelli was fouled outside the box, and near the left side of the box, Pirlo took a tricky free-kick that went over the Croatian wall and into the bottom left corner of the goal.

When Luka Modric focused on the backfield and helped Croatia sort out their attack and defence, Pirlo was a big bag and more involved in the attack, and his free-kicks scored directly for Italy and played more than his opponents.

Now that there is one round left in the group stage, Croatia looks to be more likely to appear in the group of the two teams, but the situation for Italy is not bad, and Pirlo and Modric will play a crucial role in the final fate of the two teams.
