PS1: This is Friday's update.,It's a little late.,I hope you don't care too much about the update time.,I promise not to break the update......

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.

As the Italians further intensified their defence and paid more attention to protecting their own backline in attack, the Greek players sadly found that even if they disrupted the Italians' attack, they could hardly find suitable passes on the pitch when they got possession, as almost all possible threatening passing routes were blocked by their opponents in advance.

In such a situation, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult for the Greek players to play the quick counter-attack they envisioned. Because the Italians are so tightly defended that no matter which direction they pass the ball, they are likely to be intercepted by their opponents in the middle of the game and play a quick counter-attack. As a result, the Greek players will have to rely more on their individual ability to attack, rather than counter-attacking with successive quick passes and off-ball movements, as they have done before.

This move by the Greek players can be said to play into the hands of the Italian players. You must know that the reason why Greece can become the biggest dark horse in this European Championship is mainly due to their extremely tough overall defense and quick counterattack, as well as various set-piece tactics, which allowed them to kill many strong opponents in a row and enter the European Championship final for the first time in history.

It is precisely for this reason that when Greece meets Italy, which is stronger and tighter in defense and has a lower lower limit of discipline, these tricks of the Greeks are somewhat insufficient. Because the Italians don't care how they play, they just approach all the games in the safest way possible.

Italy's move made the Greek players, who are also accustomed to playing the opponent's defensive counter-attack, feel extremely uncomfortable - they have never seen a strong team play defensive counterattack when they go head-to-head against a "weak team" like them. So, when they find out that Italy are also using defensive counter-attacking tactics against them, increasing the difficulty of the challenge over time, these Greek players will naturally feel extremely uncomfortable with this.

It's not the same as saying yes! Shouldn't the rhythm of this game be that the superior opponent takes the initiative to attack, and then we rely on tenacious defense to resist the opponent's attack, and score goals through quick counter-attacks and set-pieces, so as to achieve a dark horse myth? How did it suddenly turn into a defensive battle!

As a result, in the following period, the Greek players had little way to push their attacking line to within 20 meters of the opponent's goal, and could only frequently fire from the edge of the penalty area in an attempt to threaten the Italian goal. Of course, under the interference of Pirlo and De Rossi and others, the Greek players' long-range shots were either blocked by them halfway or out of the goal, and occasionally a few shots hit the frame and were directly confiscated by Buffon, which did not pose much threat to the Italian door at all.

Seeing that the long-range shot did not have the desired effect, Greece began to change its mind, intending to use Sitaridis and others to start the ball from both wings and feed cannonballs to Charlisteas and them on the front line. However, it has become extremely difficult to achieve this goal. Because Charlistias and Frizas were entangled with Materazzi and Nesta at this time, they couldn't get out of their way to receive their passes.

In the 69th minute, Zagorakis crossed the middle, and the follow-up Basinas shot directly from 30 meters out, the ball hit De Rossi and bounced to the feet of Deco, who immediately reacted and took advantage of the Greek player's lack of defensive defense to Diego Milito, who had just withdrawn from the front to the center circle!

Seeing this, Dellas immediately rushed over and pushed Milito against his back, preventing him from turning in the first place. The central defender, who plays for Roma, can be said to be very jealous of this super goalscorer who has already locked up the European Championship Golden Boot in advance, for fear that he will be successfully broken through by the opponent if he is not careful.

After all, if he is broken by Milito, then the latter can take advantage of the situation and drive straight into the field - Delas is not interested, let alone bet on the outcome of Milito's heads-up with his goalkeeper. Because Delas knows very well that once a striker of Milito's level gets such a one-man chance, then the probability of the opponent missing is almost negligible.

However, something unexpected happened to Dras. Milito, who received Deco's through ball, did not choose to turn around and force a breakthrough after testing Delas's defensive strength twice, but first made a feint to turn to the left and break through, and after shaking a gap, he passed the ball to Cassano, who was cutting forward from the left side!

Milito knew that in terms of physical fitness alone, it would be difficult for him to defeat his opponent in this kind of hand-to-hand combat, and it would be easy for Dellas to rely on his physical and strength advantage to break the ball. That's why he chose to help the team in one way, and that was to pass the ball to teammates in better positions so that they could complete the counterattack!

After receiving the ball from Milito, Cassano immediately dribbled the ball with a sudden stop and changed direction, and Sitaritis, who had been chasing after him, was thrown out directly before he could catch up. Cassano took advantage of the opportunity to speed up and dribble into the Greek penalty area before the others could get back into place, and deceived the onrushing Nicopolidis with a Ronaldo's trademark pendulum dribble, and fired the ball into the already undefended goal!

1 to 0! In the 69th minute of the game, Italy successfully broke the deadlock on the field with Cassano's goal and took a one-goal lead!

Cassano's goal was also the only goal of the European Championship final. In the following time, although the Greek players who were not willing to end the European Championship journey risked being further expanded by the opponent to launch a fierce attack on the Italian goal, but unfortunately, their offensive basically died halfway, and even twice almost let Cassano seize the opportunity to go to the next goal, completely killing the suspense of the game.

In this way, when the whole game ended with Merck's two short and one long whistles, the Italian players who couldn't hold back their excitement hugged their closest teammates to celebrate the championship trophy that had been reached!

After the dark scene of the World Cup in South Korea and Japan two years ago, Italian football finally stood on the championship podium once again and became the first team to successfully defend the Delaunay Cup!
