Including this European Championship final, the Red Devils Belgium have played in four international finals, having won the title twice before, while Italy have won five of the nine major finals, and this is their tenth major final.

After a short and warm closing ceremony, Portuguese referee Proenza blew the opening whistle, the Belgian team took the lead in attacking, unlike every previous game, this time, the Belgian team did not seem to be in a hurry to use the attack to gain an advantage, after repeated passes, in front of the Italian team's penalty area, was tackled by Barzagli, and then the Italian team launched a counterattack, and a long-range shot by Pirlo, the core of the midfield, was slightly wide.

Belgium's first threatening attack came in the sixth minute, when Digan fired a free-kick from 30 yards out that was tipped over the crossbar by Gianluigi Buffon.

Hazard then took a corner from the right, and Degan was in the box, pressing Barzagli and heading it just over.

In the following period, Belgium began to gradually take over the initiative on the field, and the Italian team did very well before, especially against the German team, and their performance was eye-catching.

However, the intensive competition, coupled with injury problems, has already consumed the energy and energy of the Italian team before the final.

In the 10th minute, Hazard and Degan quickly combined on the left side, after Digan broke through with the ball, a foot crossed, and Fellaini, who was inserted at high speed, was blocked by a shot at the edge of the penalty area, he took the ball and passed to Digan, who cut inside with the ball, 25 meters in front of the goal, and the volley was blocked again, and then Hazard and Digan played a kick to the wall, and the latter's volley from 17 meters in front of the goal was again high over the crossbar.

"Just ten minutes into the game, the Belgian team began to exert its strength after a period of testing, although before the game people were generally more optimistic about the Italian team, hoping that they could replicate the miracle of six years ago and win the championship, but from the current form, it seems that the Belgian team has taken control of the overall situation, and it is only a matter of time before the score is scored!"

The commentator's point of view is not biased, and the passive situation of the Italian team made Prandelli frown again and again, which is not a small gap from his expectations before the game.

The current situation of the Italian team, Prandelli knows better than anyone else, if it is a war of attrition with the Belgian team, it is purely looking for death, the only chance for the Italian team is to attack, take the lead in scoring, and then use all resources to defend, even if it is equalized, it doesn't matter, this game, Prandelli is aiming at the final final.

Thinking about the current situation of the Italian team, Prandelli can't help but envy the Belgians, a group of young people in their twenties, full of physical energy, first-class physical fitness, the European Championship has reached the final moments, and the Belgian team has not had any injuries.

Look at the Italian team, De Rossi, Barzagli, Abate, Motta, Cassano, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of wounded soldiers, fortunately, Barzagli and others are even if they return before the game, otherwise, Prandelli will not even be able to put together a starting lineup of 11 people.

Digan has now also tested the energy that Italy now has, I have to say, he is a little disappointed, he originally expected to be able to compete with the Italian team led by Prandelli on the stage of the European Championship final, but unfortunately, the previous game, so that the Italian team has been greatly injured, to the final, the Italian is already at the end of the crossbow.

"They don't seem to be as scary as we think." Fellaini looked at the Italian team, which was already showing fatigue after only ten minutes, and said with a frown.

Deegan smiled: "I'm not surprised at all that they behaved like this!" ”

The game lasted for ten minutes, and the Italian team's other offensive attacks did not even hit the 30-meter area of the Belgian team except for Pirlo's long-range shot.

"But ~~~~~~~~~~"

Fellaini said: "I know that the Italians must not be underestimated at any time!" ”

Deegan laughed, "That's right! ”

If there is one team in the world that is the most elusive, it is the Italian team, and the German team has also performed miracles, but obviously not as many as the Italians on the miracle journey.

As for the dark horses, although there will be dark horses born in every tournament, they are often revealed at the last moment, the Italian team is not a dark horse, but they can often perform miracles without being favored by the world.

For example, in the 2006 World Cup, when the Italian domestic phonegate incident broke out, almost everyone thought that the scandal-ridden Italian team's journey in Germany was just a formality, but they unexpectedly rushed all the way to the final, and finally defeated Belgium to become the champion of that cup.

It's the same with this European Cup, before the start of the game, Italian football is also full of scandals, gambling, infighting, aftershocks from the phone gate, good guys, more dangerous than six years ago, the performance of the Italian team in the first two rounds of the group stage, it also seems to confirm, people's previous speculation, the group stage is over, and the game is home.

But the subsequent game shocked everyone's attention, and the Italians came back to life after death, fought repeatedly, sang all the way, and the top two in Britain and Germany became their sacrifices, and finally reached the finals.

Looking down on Italy, Digan never dared to think so, and no one knew that the Italians, who had thick and hard nerves like billets, would inadvertently do something earth-shattering.

"Focus! Score them first! From now on, attack! Offensive! Offensive! Offensive! ”

European Red Devils! Offensive!

The most leader, Digan, gave the signal to attack, Belgium suddenly picked up, a burst of fierce attacks, although the Italian team's defense was tenacious, but it was a hundred secrets, and finally in the 14th minute, the Belgian team opened the scoring.

Fellaini passed the ball in the midfield, Hazard accurately plugged the right side of the penalty area, Lukaku accelerated to get rid of Chiellini's defense, and returned the pass to the middle near the bottom line, Degan followed up in time, six meters in front of the goal, the header was gentle, and the football flew directly into the top of the goal, 1:0.

After the goal, Digan glanced inside the Italian goal, and after confirming it, he opened his arms and ran towards the stands.

In the stands, Park Ji-yeon and her friends were already hugging each other tightly, and Park Ji-yeon was even more excited and about to shed tears.

How Deegan has spent the past two years, Park Ji-yeon, who has always been by Digan's side, knows best, and now that Deegan has scored on the stage of the European Championship final, all the gloom has finally dissipated at this moment.

Seeing Digan running under the stands, Park Ji-yeon leaned out with tears in her smile and hugged Digan, and suddenly countless cameras flashed wildly.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ Deegan scored again, it was his thirteenth goal in this tournament, it was crazy, it was crazy, it was crazy, Belgium took the lead in the fourteenth minute of the first half, Deegan seemed to be in very good form, did he want to score a hat-trick in the final as well, if that was the case, I bet no one would replicate his feat even in the next hundred years! ”

The Belgian commentator was naturally cheering, while the Italian commentator sitting next to him was full of sadness, although they were full of confidence before the game, clamoring to let the Belgian team taste the bitterness of defeat again after six years, but from the beginning of the game, he felt that the Italian team in front of him really needed some miracle if they wanted to defeat Belgium.

"It was just terrible, just fourteen minutes into the game, Italy scored a goal and it was that Digan who scored, damn it! Can't that bastard just stop a bit? All right! We have to admit that that guy is really too strong, Prandelli may regret his arrangement, using Barzagli to mark Deegan one-on-one, this arrangement is too risky, when Deegan shot just now, Barzagli was at least two meters away from him, I really don't know, at that moment, what was going on in Mr. Barzagli's heart? All right! There is no way to recover from the lag, but fortunately, there is still a lot of time, and I hope that the boys of the Italian team in the next game can show the fans something different! ”

Prandelli could only shake his head helplessly for the goal conceded, Barzagli may be responsible, but Degan's grasp of the timing of Lukaku's pass, and the explosiveness of that moment, is the key to this goal.

That guy, can't he hide his edge after two years of cold play?

The goal was the first time Italy had fallen behind in this tournament and it weighed on Prandelli's heart, as the team that had scored first in the history of the European Championship final had never lost in 90 minutes of regular time.

Italy's overall record of conceding first games at the Euros, with one win, three draws and three defeats, with the only comeback coming against Bulgaria in the 2004 group stage.

The lessons of the past have made Prandley's heart sink continuously, at this time, what should I do?

Retreat is absolutely no longer possible, there is no point in defending, the only option for the Italians is to attack!

However, it is obviously very unwise to play against the Belgian Red Devils on the field, but Prandelli has no other choice.

Thinking about this, Prandelli walked to the sideline and waved his arm twice in quick succession towards the Belgian half.

When Deegan saw this, he smiled and said to himself, "Cesare! Want to fight hard, right? ”
