When the players from both teams entered, the Belgian fans in attendance immediately erupted in cheers, and they saw Digan at the front of the line.

There is no doubt about Degan's role for Belgium, as long as Degan is on the pitch, Belgium are a completely different team and they have hopes of winning.

The coach of the Italian team, Lippi, was still standing on the sidelines with a blank face, half an hour ago, he got the list of the Belgian team and knew the news that Digan would play, but the moment he saw Digan on the field, his heart still couldn't help but tighten.

The two teams stood on the field, the national anthems of the two countries were played, and Digan stood on the field, also thinking about how to deal with the strong opponent of the Italian team on the way to win the championship.

The Italian team in the 2006 Shijie Cup in Germany made a very strong impression on Shijie, and under Lippi's conditions, the Italian pair played very beautiful football while sticking to their own characteristics.

If Digan had to find one of the most dangerous men in the Italian squad, it would be Lippi, who was a man of the fingers for his team.

When he was hospitalized before, Digan also asked people to find the videos of Italy's previous group games, and he knew the opponent in front of him very well.

In this year's Shijie Cup, the Italian team used the basic formation of 4312 and 4321, but Lippi, a master tactician, will sometimes change to 3313 and 4411 according to the situation on the field.

For example, in the group stage against the United States, when the situation was deadlocked at 1:1, striker Piero replaced a central defender Zaccardo with 3313 to strengthen the offensive force.

In the semi-final against Germany, in order to strengthen the control of the midfield and change the means of attack, Lippi turned 4312 into 4411 and 4222 in extra time, and finally won in the Zuihou moment.

It can be seen that the old coach Lippi does have a strong pertinence in the arrangement of troops, and is rich and colorful in the change of formation, and can make timely and reasonable adjustments

Changes in offensive and defensive personnel, knowing people are good at using them.

In the previous six games, all but two of Italy's 23 players on the bench were on the pitch.

Looking at the basic formation used by the Italian team, the midfield of the back three is the core of their offensive and defensive transitions. The changes in the basic lineup of the Italian team are only in the forward line, with the 4312 being Toney and Gilardino with the two strikers, and with the 4321 the striker Gilardino is removed and a midfielder is added, Camoranesi or Iaquinta.

The rest of the squad is goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, the four defenders are Zambrotta, Grosso, Cannavaro and Materazzi, the three stable midfielders are Gattuso, Pirlo and Perrotta, and the main midfielder is Totti.

The biggest feature of the Italian team is a strong and stable midfield, which is the distinctive feature of this lineup, when defending, three midfielders form a stable barrier in the midfield, the four defenders have their own characteristics, Pirlo is the core player in attack, and the two full-backs Grosso and Zambrotta on the wing will be inserted in time.

With the 4321, Toney is the first target of the attack, with Perrotta and Totti hidden behind him, and the midfield three will move laterally and wait for opportunities to step forward, looking for opportunities to attack, forming a midfield combination of up to seven men.

When using 4312, Gilardino will pull the side or detour forward point among the two strikers, and there are as many as six midfielders, and the midfielders are numerous, improvised, and multi-point attacks are the distinctive characteristics of the Italian team.

Italy have scored 11 goals in the previous six games in the Shijie Cup, and the distribution of goals was very even, with four goals in the first half, five in the second half, and two goals in extra time against Germany.

In terms of the distribution of goalscorers, it was also evenly distributed, with eleven goals coming from ten players, with three from defenders, six from forwards and two from midfielders.

In terms of attacking type, as Digan said in the dressing room before, attacking from set-pieces is an important attacking tool for the Italian team, they have scored six goals through set-pieces, two through positional attacks, and three goals from a quick counter-attack, including four with headers, all from set-pieces.

The Italian team launched their attacks on the left and right sides of the front, and Zuihou's passes were in a variety of forms, with the main assisters being Andrea Pirlo and Totti, with four and three assists respectively.

So guarding against Italy's set-pieces, as well as cutting off the link between Andrea Pirlo, Totti and the midfield, were Belgium's main lessons for the day.

In attack, the Italian team can only be regarded as passing, and it is their defense that really makes Digan feel threatened, and in the previous long games, the Italian team only conceded a goal in total, and it was Zaccardo's own goal.

From the point of view of tactical arrangement, Lippi's team basically did not have tactical mistakes, and the own goal was also a conceded goal formed by the opponent's side cross and the defender grabbing the point to clear the siege, which was completely a problem of the ability of Jishu to kick the ball.

Defending is the recognized strength of the Italian team, and the team-oriented defensive strategy is not only in line with the development principles of modern football, but also the magic weapon of the Italian team to win.

Once the first line of defense is breached, the whole team will immediately retreat to the midfield, and the forward players will continue to chase back, while the three midfielders will form a strong chain defensive barrier, Gattuso, Pirlo and Perrotta have their own advantages.

Gattuso is a master of the ball, Pirlo is the mastermind of the transition from defense to attack, and Perrotta is the most defensive awareness and physical player in the Italian team.

If the second line of defense is broken through again, the captain of the middle can navaro is the first choice to grab points and fill the position, the tall central defender is responsible for marking and grabbing air supremacy, the two fullbacks are responsible for their own responsibilities, and protect the middle in time, in addition to Zuihou a defensive line, the Italian team also has the most haode goalkeeper Buffon on Shijie, Buffon who is in peak condition is worthy of the best goalkeeper and shows impressive defensive ability.

Therefore, the defensive strategy of the Italian team relies on collective efforts, and at the same time reflects unique characteristics: first, it is dominated by zone chain defense, combined with pressing and man-marking, and the defenders have clear tasks and decisive actions.

Second, the three lines are closely connected, the overall action is the same, when the front line is blocking and intercepting, the forward line will form a middle barrier in time, and when the front line is defending, the back line will be centered on the ball, and timely attack, fill and protect, so that the defensive rhythm of the whole team is distinct.

Thirdly, the Italians did not use a single retreat defense, but a force that always kept attacking in front. In the game, he is good at using the transition rhythm between the retreat of the defense and the counterattack pressure to contain the opponent's counterattack and attack, and always maintain the offensive pressure on the opponent.

Going back to the analysis of the free kick tactics of the Italian team, the free kicks in the Italian midfield are basically handled by Totti and Pirlo. Depending on the area where the penalty spot is taken, the distance and the position of the defender, the way the penalty is taken will also vary.

It can be roughly divided into three ways, one of which is that when the penalty spot is within 30 meters of the goal and close to the middle, Totti and Pirlo will cooperate, and the former will shoot directly and vigorously, trying to score directly or hit the defender, causing a refraction change, and other attacking players will grab the goal.

Second, when the service point is away from the goal and on both sides, the penalty player sends a diagonal cross, outflanks the player's run, attracts the defense, and Toney, Materazzi, Gilardino and other players nod the ball in the middle of the goal or behind the goal. Against the United States, Italy used this tactic, scoring a goal with a header from Gilardino.

Third, when a free kick is taken near the bottom line of the front court, the striker will contain the defender in the penalty area, and the penalty taker will pass the ball to the front of the arc of the middle penalty area, and the other players will insert a long shot. Using this tactic, although it did not score, it also brought a great threat to the opponent's goal.

While taking set-pieces as the team's biggest offensive weapon, the Italian team's defense of free kicks in the backfield, Lippi also made special deployments, focusing on the human wall and the opponent's main attacking players. Pay attention to the control of the area behind the wall and on both sides to prevent the opponent from playing the cooperation, and for the high-altitude ball that enters the goal area, the header Jishu is outstanding, the player with the height advantage is competing for the top or the goalkeeper is attacking to get the ball. Due to the proper deployment and clear responsibilities, the opponent's free-kick did not pose much of a threat to the Italian goal.

The Italian team was able to stand out without being seen before the game, and its use of technique and tactics must have been unique. In the pursuit of multi-point flowering in offense, the use of various skills and tactics such as long passes, short passes, and crosses is average, and the collective operation of the midfield is paid attention to in defense, and the interception and steal performance is very good.

Head coach Lippi is even more proficient in using people, able to use his generals accurately and reasonably, give full play to his strengths, and can find problems in time on the field of play and accurately find solutions to problems.

Especially under the strong pressure of the "phonegate" scandal in Italy, the Italian team was able to reach the final, and the head coach Lippi did have a master's style in personnel management and motivating the players.

Multi-point attack and team-oriented defensive strategy are the biggest characteristics of the Italian team's game, the French team has "Zidane", Portugal has "Figo", Brazil is even more star-studded, while Italy does not have a complete "core" player, but they relied on the collective liliang to reach the final, relying on their whole.

Italy is a bit special among the Shijie teams, his overall strength is not inferior to any opponent, and their tactical research is quite developed, but they still insist on playing defensive counterattacks against opponents who are far weaker than themselves, and this is their weakness. The most striking feature is that in Italy's game, they always have an amazingly low possession rate.

Italy last won the Shijie Cup in 1982, and some of the players in the squad have a long athletic life, such as Baresi and Bergomi, who are rare older players, and their style of play has influenced them to this day.

Italy's football tradition seems to have always been clear, with a preference for results.

Just like in 2003, AC Milan and Juventus entered the Champions Cup final, both sides seemed to prefer to drag the game into a penalty shootout, after the game, the Spanish media ridiculed that the two Italian teams entered the final, should let them kick a penalty after the opening whistle to determine the champion, football is becoming more and more utilitarian, and concrete defense is Italy's national treasure, defense is also an art, Italy has never lacked good defenders and good goalkeepers in terms of resource endowment.

Of course, in terms of tactics, Italy has not given up innovation and has always tried to make breakthroughs, but after many years of immersion, the traditional style of play has become familiar with the chest, and the operation is familiar with the road, and the eyes are closed to know how to play, so the traditional elements are well preserved.

As far as the characteristics of the players are concerned, pay attention to the football talents that have come out of Italy over the years, including the most haode goalkeeper and the most haode defender on shijie, and the most haode striker on shijie, but there are few shijie-level midfielders.

The midfield selection of the Italian national team has two characteristics, one is that the Apennine Peninsula is rich in no.9 and a half players, such as Baggio, Zola, and now Piero and Totti, but lacks a no.10 who is known for his playmaking skills.

The second is that some jishu are good and mostly sapper-type backs, but there has been no haode winger. This midfielder is very different from other countries in terms of attack, mainly threatening the opposition goal with long balls and long-range shots, and it is rare to see them rushing into the six-yard box as repeatedly as Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard did.

The winger is a new Camoranesi, still imported from Argentina, and the Italian style prefers to have full-backs attacking on the wings.

The lack of some characteristic players is also a weakness of the Italian team.

Italy have had a rough run in recent tournaments, meeting South Korea in 2002 and then being equalised before the end of the game before being eliminated in extra-time.

Euro 2004 didn't even qualify from the group, with a unique skill but not enough opportunities to perform, and after the results were behind everyone, what did it mean to be steely and soft.

However, after watching the previous semi-finals between Italy and Germany, the most intuitive feeling for Degan is that with an artistic defense, Italy can continue to win.

In the semi-final matchup between Germany and Italy, after Germany was eliminated, the live broadcast camera keenly captured the scene of a German female fan in tears.

Indeed, with the German team's soaring progress in this tournament, German fans can be said to be one of the happiest and joyful fan groups.

Italy, on the other hand, stumbled as usual along the way, maintaining the tradition of "slow heat" in participating in the tournament, but broke out in the semi-finals.

The score of 2:0 continued the German team's record of "invincible" in the finals of the Shijie Competition, and also created a sad moment for German fans.

In their last game, Italy had a flawless defence, and the score would have been even more embarrassing had it not been for the strikers who missed a number of one-on-one chances.

In the face of the Italian team's "reinforced concrete defence", the "German tank" had few chances throughout the game. What's more, Italy's tight defensive system has cost the Germans the ability to control the game in the first few games.

The match was won by the Italians who played their own style and the Germans lost themselves, thus making the "Azzurri" the winner of Zuihou again.

As a traditional powerhouse in Shijie football, the Italian team has always been known for its defense, and has turned defense into an art, and it can be said that defensive awareness has been integrated into the blood of every generation of Italian players.

One of the most obvious examples is that Gattuso, a midfielder, has also performed impressively as a cameo at centre-back after being played by Nesta.

In this Shijie Cup, you can frequently see the opponent's lethal passes and breakthroughs repeatedly destroyed by Italian players at the right moment in Zuihou, and no matter how accurate the opponent is running and interspersing, there will be Italian players around him.

Especially in the first match between Italy and Germany, Schweinsteiger was "besieged" by five Italian players when he dribbled the ball, which once became a new network "heat map" and was also the most vivid interpretation of the Italian team's pressing defensive posture.

Even if the opponent breaks through the layers of defense, he still has to face the Italian team's Shijie goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, whose high and low blocking power ensures that the Italian team's goal will not be easily attacked.

Of course, relying on defense alone will not ensure victory for Italy. One can see that the real core of the Italian team in this tournament is not the previous Totti, but Pirlo, who, like Buffon, who has made many shijie-level saves, is a phenomenal player in the current Italian team.

Relying on Andrea Pirlo's careful management in midfield, the Italian team was able to switch from dense defense to effective attack, and his calm on-field bearing was the reassurance of the entire Italian team.

From the "Golden Boy" Rossi, to the "Prince of Melancholy" Baggio, and now Pirlo and Buffon, Italy continues to emerge with core players who are leading the Italian team forward.

Analysing the success of teams such as Italy and Germany is all about sticking to their own style of play and style, and keeping that style alive and well-being in a way that has been passed down from generation to generation. While sticking to the tradition, the traditional strong team is also constantly advancing with the times to sharpen and improve their own playing style.

Degan wants to lead Belgium to victory, and in the final analysis, the biggest trouble is three, tactician Lippi, Italian tight defense, and Italy's set-piece attack.

It seems simple, but it is another matter to actually operate it, and Italy has weaknesses, and Belgium is even more troublesome, and Digan believes that Lippi must have seen it, he is a very shrewd man, and he will definitely seize these weaknesses of Belgium and magnify them infinitely in his hands.
