PS1: This is Tuesday'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.

There is a good saying, under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man. Stimulated by the money of the Greek Football Association, these Greek players who were going to do their best in the final were all screaming like chicken blood, and their enthusiasm for training rose two steps in an instant, and they couldn't wait to start a real fight with the Italians now!

Seeing that the players are still so serious about training, not relenting at all because of the historic final, nor feeling negative because of the strength of the opponent, and the championship trophy (bonus?) that is close at hand, and the championship trophy (bonus?) is just around the corner. Full of eagerness, Rehhagel was very satisfied. The veteran boss felt that he might really be able to create a miracle in Greece this time that was not inferior to the promotion horse he made in Kaiserslautern that year.

In this way, under the ardent expectation of the fans and the intense preparation of the players on both sides, the time slowly came to July 4, that is, the day of the start of the European Cup final!

On July 4, the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, was bustling with crowds, with fans crowding the stands on all sides. Outside the stadium, there are still many fans wandering around the ticket office full of hope, hoping to get lucky a ticket to the European Cup final.

Although the appearance of Greece as a dark horse and the general poor performance of traditional powerhouses in this European Championship have made this final a lot of disgrace, most fans obviously don't care much about Greece's appearance in this final. For them, it's acceptable to see a little unexpected situation once in a while, and even quite popular with them.

If international competitions such as the World Cup and the European Championship are always the stage for traditional strong teams and superstars, and those weak teams don't even have the opportunity to show their faces and upset, fans will also feel aesthetic fatigue. Some unexpected situations and upsets can make fans more excited to watch each game.

According to Zhuang Mingge's words, after a long time of brocade clothes and jade food, I occasionally have to eat coarse grains to remember the bitterness and sweetness......

Now let's talk about the starting line-ups of both teams for this game. For Greece, Rehhagel continued to use his hugely successful 442 formation at this tournament, with only some fine-tuning of the starting line-up based on injuries. Obviously, Otto the Great intends to use defensive counter-attacking tactics against the Italian team, who are the best in this game.

Due to space constraints, the names of Greece's starters in various positions for this game will not be detailed here. Everyone who has watched the Greek team play should have the impression that most of the names of Greek players are too long-looking, such as Papastathopoulos and Papadopoulos, etc., if you write them all here, it is too many words......

After talking about the tactical arrangement of Greece, let's look at the Italian side. Trapattoni did not let his guard down just because his opponent in the final was Greece, which was more average in strength and more famous. As mentioned before, in the eyes of the veteran coach, there is absolutely no team that can reach the final that is easy to deal with, so during the pre-match mobilization, Trapattoni focused on instilling in the players the idea that they should be more careful in the game and not think that they have won because the opponent is not famous.

"Don't worry, sir." Nesta, who took over the captain's armband after Maldini retired and is now the leader of the Italian dressing room, replied in a solemn tone, "The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and we will not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy." You know, we just suffered a big loss at Chelsea last season, and it would be a waste to fall in the same pit again. ”

In the goalkeeper position, although Toldo saved Pauletta's penalty in the penalty shootout against Portugal to help the team successfully qualify for the European Championship final, Trapattoni still chose Buffon in the competition for the starting goalkeeper. After all, Buffon is much better than Thor in terms of stability and prediction of the ball, and the latter's state is greatly affected by emotions.

At the back, Grosso returned to his starting left wing-back position after a one-game break, with Zambrotta returning to his familiar right. However, Trapattoni did not use Cannavaro and Nesta, the golden duo of "the world's No. 1 central defender pairing" in the central defender position, but let Materazzi continue to start with Nesta.

The main reason for this arrangement is that Greece's attack mainly relies on the center's goal grabbing in the counter-attack and set-piece tactics. If Cannavaro is put on the pitch, then Greece's forward twin towers Phrizas and Charlie Steas will have a considerable advantage in terms of height. Even if Cannavaro's power and bounce are top-notch, it is really not safe for him to mark a striker who is more than half a shot taller, and this thing has a habit of rising to the top when he is on the field, so it is better to let Materazzi, who does not suffer from height, play more safely.

In the midfield, Deco and Pirlo form a duo, De Rossi as a single midfielder, although this combination is slightly inferior in defensive hardness, but the organization and ball ability are obviously several notches higher than in the semi-finals, and Deco's presence can largely share the pressure of Pirlo, so as to avoid affecting the team's counter-attacking efficiency after being surrounded by the Greek power flow midfield.

Up front, Cassano, who has been in excellent form at this tournament, has been given a chance to start alongside Camoranesi, who will be tasked with suppressing Greece's two full-backs with great assists and feeding Milito up front.

By this time, the players of both sides had already stepped onto the lawn of the Stadium of Light under the leadership of German whistle Merck, and after completing a series of pre-match ceremonies, they were already in their respective halves and waiting for the long-awaited opening whistle.

"Coach Trapattoni actually only sent De Rossi as a defensive midfielder today? That's a rarity. Seeing Italy's starting lineup for this game, Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the VIP box, raised his eyebrows, and was a little surprised by Trapattoni's arrangement, "I really didn't expect Trapp to have such an active side." ”

"I think it's probably because Coach Trapattoni is deliberately imitating our Fiorentina tactical system, otherwise we wouldn't have put so many Fiorentina players in the starting line-up." Karin didn't know that her analysis was actually quite accurate, "and, even so, I don't think Italy will attack in the final." After all, our opponent is Greece, who are good at defending and counter-attacking, and avoiding mistakes and compressing the space at the back is the most important thing. ”

Zhuang Mingge nodded when he heard this. Indeed, no matter how Rehhagel and Trapattoni change their tactics, when Italy and Greece, the two teams that focus on counter-attack, meet in the final, the tone of the game is actually set.
