In the passionate commentary of the commentator, Pan Yi was still yelling at the players who were celebrating off the field:

"Don't be conservative! Keep going on the offensive for me! I'm going to score again! ”

Evani and Vialli looked at each other, and there was only one thing in their hearts - this madman!

Isn't he afraid that the opponent will once again take advantage of the opportunity to equalize?

At this time, Dalic also made a quick response, he used the second substitution, and also adjusted the formation play.

Mateo Kovacic replaced Rebic, who had been unsuccessful so far, and formed a midfield four with Luka Modric, Rakitic and Brozovic, before pushing Perisic up front for a 4-4-2.

With four attacking and defensive midfielders paired with a two-striker style of play, Croatia is clearly going to step up their attack.

But the Italian side did not back down, and still fought against it endlessly!

A frantic attack is very demoralizing if you don't score all the time, but after you score, you will play more smoothly.

This is the case in Italy now.

Dalic's brow furrowed as he sensed that the game was starting to get out of his hands.

Italy's attack is now fully played, and the players in the front court are playing more and more fluently, and the back and forth between several people often makes it difficult for Croatian defenders to grab the ball.

Croatia's attack, on the other hand, began to suffer, and the Italian midfield's madman's pressing allowed their passing success rate to begin to decrease.

What worries Dalic even more is that the world's top midfield combination on which he relies is now showing fatigue.

Modric is 33 years old, Rakitic is 30 years old, and they are no longer young.

Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic are still in their twenties, but after 120 minutes of battle, they were unable to get back to their best physical condition anytime soon.

With an average age of 21 in the midfield, this fatigue is amplified, especially as the game goes into 70 minutes.

"These damn guys, they're so good at running!" Dalic cursed in his heart.

But apart from scolding, he can't come up with any good solutions now.

After all, the one who is running on the field now is already his best subordinate!

Soon, Italy also completely crushed Croatian resistance with a final blow, crushing all Dalic's hopes.

In the 88th minute, after a continuous pass in the front field, Balotelli broke through to the bottom line after receiving a direct pass from Tonali, and then passed back to the goal!

The former point Chiesa Jr. missed!

Barrera who followed in the middle leaked!

It was Tonali who ran up at the back point!

Facing the rolling ball, looking at Subasic who was struggling to pounce, there was already a trace of despair on his face, but Tonali did not have the slightest intention of showing mercy to his subordinates, and immediately took a big step forward and immediately shot with his right foot!

The ball flew into the corner behind the goal, and Sucric's hard save was still beyond the whip!

Three to one! Italy wins the game!

"Awesome!" Pan Yi came out in Chinese to express his excitement, and as soon as he turned around, he was surrounded by even more excited assistant coaches.

They excitedly surrounded Pan Yi in the middle, and everyone knew what it meant to be two goals ahead at this time - meaning that Croatia basically would not have the possibility of a comeback!

"We're in the finals!" Vialli roared loudly in Pan Yi's ear, which shook Pan Yi's ears and made some "buzzing".

"It's been 12 years, and we're going to be in the finals again!" Evani roared excitedly.

"It's amazing, it's amazing, it's a magical reincarnation!" Vialli's voice grew louder and louder.

Pan Yi was a little surprised, of course it is understandable that everyone is happy to enter the finals, but what is reincarnation?

If he could hear the cries of the Italian commentators now, he would probably understand.

"In 1970, Italy reached the World Cup final, but lost to Brazil, led by the football champion Pele at the time, and finished as runners-up."

Twelve years later, in 1982, Italy reached the final again, this time with the Azzurri led by Zoff and Rossi, beating West Germany to win the title.

'The next time Italy reached the final was 12 years later, and in the summer of 1994 we also lost to Brazil, and it was heartbreaking to see Roberto Baggio standing on the back of the penalty spot.

"The next time we saw us in the final, it was 12 years later in 2006! We finally beat France on penalties to win our fourth World Cup! ”

"Today, 2018, another 12 years, we are going to the finals again!"

When Pan Yi was just a fan in his previous life, he knew the so-called rule that Italy entered the World Cup finals every 12 years, but after Italy didn't even enter the finals in 2018, no one mentioned this rule.

Now he is coaching Italy in the World Cup, and of course he can't think of it for a while.

Unlike those excited Italians, Pan Yi was the first to calm down.

He yelled at the pitch to calm the players and prepare for the final minutes of the game!

With the two balls in hand, Pan Yi doesn't plan to give the other party too many chances.

He replaced Chiesa Jr. with El Shaarawy, and then replaced the declining Tonali with De Rossi, and the Italians turned to the defense with all their hands!

Pan Yi once again proved that he has never been a person who clings to a certain tactic and does not let go, attacking when he should attack and defending when he should defend!

This move completely killed Croatia's hopes of a comeback.

Putting down the iron bucket formation, the layers of fortified Italy made it difficult for Croatia's attack to move an inch, especially when the previous offensive space was relatively large, and suddenly there was not much offensive space, which made the Croatian players seem at a loss.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle for the whole game!

After 2006, Italy is once again in the final of the World Cup!

Countless Italian fans were cheering, whether they were inside the stadium, waiting outside the stadium, or watching TV at home in Italy.

Especially in the country, whether in Turin, Milan, Naples or Sicily, countless Italian fans have poured out on the streets of major places.

They waved the national flag and shouted constantly, and the cars on the street also stopped, honking their horns desperately, venting their happiness.

A few months ago, they were worried about whether their national team would be in Russia, but now the Azzurri have not only arrived, but they have also made it all the way to the final!

Pan Yi's arrival changed everything!

On July 15, four days later, they will face the mighty French team at the Luzhniki Stadium to win the World Cup!

Of course, the final was left behind and now the Italians just had to celebrate wildly and celebrate this hard-earned victory!

On the pitch, of course, the Italian players were also running and hugging each other.

Pan Yi also hugged them one by one.

From Donnarumma, who blocked Perisic's inevitable solo goal, to Desiglio, Barella and Tonali, who scored three goals in the game, to all the players on the pitch, even those who didn't play......

All of them came with a warm hug!

It's a credit to all the Italian players to reach the final!

And Pan Yi, of course, was hugged tightly by all the players, making his clothes crumple.

Pan Yi smiled and tidied up his clothes, and then walked towards Dalic.

'You guys played very well and it was a very tough game. Luckily, we were the ones who made it to the finals. ”

Pan Yi said this sincerely, this Croatia team is indeed very strong.

As a country that is not a big country in Europe in terms of land area, population, or football heritage, it is really not easy to make up so many top stars in the world in the same era.

And with world-class stars, it is not easy for Dalic to bring them together again and lead them to historic success.

"You guys played well, so you won, it's simple." Dalic shrugged his shoulders, "But you still have to be careful in the final, France is much stronger than us." ”

Pan Yi laughed and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but I've kicked them a few times, and I have a little experience." ”

Pan Yi was talking about the semi-finals of Euro 2016, when he led Sweden to defeat France to reach the final.

The main difference between the main framework of the French team at that time and the current team is not much, and the main difference may be that the new star Mbappe has taken the position of the main force and has an amazing performance.

Dalic glanced at him, then nodded slightly: "I believe you can indeed defeat the French." To be honest, as your opponent today, it's really hard for me to anticipate what you're going to want to do every step of the way...... You are a difficult opponent. ”

After saying this, Dalic held Pan Yi's hand and shook it gently, then let go of his hand, and then strode onto the court, and began to pull up the Croatian players who were sitting helplessly on the field, and some of them had begun to cry one by one.

In a sense, he is a bit similar to Pan Yi's status in the locker room, that is, he is the coach of the players, and at the same time they are their good friends!

Because of this, even though the Croatian team is even more aging after four years, their combat effectiveness has not been reduced much, and they can still reach the last four again under the leadership of Dalic!

And Pan Yi also turned his head and walked to the stands.

At this time, the Italian fans were still cheering, as if they were going to continue this moment until the end of the day......

——

The magical law of 12 years of reincarnation continues, and Italy is once again in the final! 》

"The 2006 World Cup final is back, the battle between Italy and France, on the verge of breaking out! 》

"From not being favored to reaching the final, Pan Yi has become one of the greatest coaches in Italian history"

"The new Italian Prime Minister Mr. Cortarelli praises the Italian team and Pan Yi"

What a shock it was to the Italian national team's entry into the World Cup final this time can be seen from the reaction of the Italian media.

Italy itself is a country that attaches great importance to football, and watching football matches has become the habit and spare time of most Italian people.

It's just that in recent years, Italian football has been a little embarrassing, the "small World Cup" of Serie A is no longer beautiful, and the national team's major results have not been very good, and they have even failed to qualify for the group stage in two consecutive World Cups......

And this time, Pan Yi led Italy to rise from a desperate situation, started from the qualifiers, and then defeated Germany, England, Croatia and other strong teams in the main match to reach the finals, which can definitely be said to be a surprising result.

It is precisely because of this that even the Italian government was alarmed.

Of course, in fact, many people in the Italian hierarchy are fans themselves, the most famous of which is, of course, the former Italian prime minister and former AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi......

And the current Italian Prime Minister Cortarelli took office just before the start of the World Cup.

His greatest task is to improve Italy's current economic situation and make the Italians great again!

As the most important World Cup competition for the whole Italian team, the national team can enter the final or even win the championship, which will definitely have a great incentive for all Italians and promote the development of the domestic economy.

This is not a lie, when France won the World Cup for the first time in 1998, it was said that the GDP of that year increased by more than 3%, and even the birth rate of babies increased by ......

As Piret said in the interview: "In the beginning, I thought I was just a footballer. But by winning the World Cup at home in 1998, we achieved even more. ”

"There was a time when we brought not only happiness to people, but also hope. We believe that anything is possible. We gave them confidence. ”

"We tell people that no matter where you're from, you can be successful and you can enjoy life with people who are in different places."

"It has changed people's mindsets and given new direction to life for some people who need it. The victory in this World Cup is so meaningful. ”

It is precisely because of this that Prime Minister Cortarelli also released the news, saying that if the Italian team can finally win the championship, then Pan Yi will be awarded the Knight of the Italian Star!

This award is given annually to foreign personalities and Italians abroad who have made an outstanding contribution to the promotion of friendly relations between Italy and other countries, in recognition of their outstanding role in the promotion of friendly relations between Italy and other countries.

Submitted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, selected by the "Star of Italy" committee, and confirmed by the President of Italy, the award is one of the highest honors bestowed on international people who have contributed to Italy.

The medal is divided into five ranks, and Pan Yi is likely to receive the highest rank of Grand Cross Knight!

After knowing the news, Pan Yi couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't expect that as a football coach, what other national medals could I mix...... You're crying.

However, as a person who is the owner of a football club in England, holding such a medal should be helpful for some future commercial development and the like.

Anyway, it is also protected by the Italian cross flag!

Of course, the current Pan Yi doesn't have much energy to pay attention to these things, and he has not publicly responded to this matter.

The final is just around the corner, and time is ticking!

It is precisely because of the lack of time that in fact, in the finals, it is unlikely to make too many targeted arrangements.

Often the final games are purely hard-hitting, and there is not much room for tactical changes.

First, the team that entered the final has been looked down on everything, and second, when playing in the semi-finals, it is impossible for a coach to be confident enough to think that his team will definitely enter the final, and it is impossible to have the spare energy to think about how to deal with the opponent in the final.

Pan Yi will not be confident to this extent, and the time between the semi-finals and the final is very short, the best way is to adjust the player's condition to the best to defeat the opponent.

And for Italy, France is a rather special opponent.

The final of the 2006 World Cup can be said to be a classic game that can go down in history.

Zidane's spoon penalty and Materazzi's header equalizer are all evocative, and the classic of the classics is the "direct confrontation" between the two protagonists.

In the 110th minute of the game, French captain Zinedine Zidane suddenly put his head on Materazzi's chest in a scramble with Italian player Materazzi.

After the incident was seen by the referee, Zidane was sent off and France could only play with 10 men and eventually lost to Italy on penalties.

In 2006, it happened to be the first World Cup after the Internet began to become popular around the world, and the "Zidane Head Hammer" incident became an annual event after the fermentation of the Internet.

The previous World Cup meeting between Italy and France was in France in 1998.

The two teams met in the quarter-finals and the two sides were still evenly matched for 120 minutes, before France won on penalties and eventually made it all the way to the final to claim their first ever World Cup title.

If it spreads to the European Championships, two years after this match, the two teams will meet again in the European Championship final, and they will once again present a classic matchup.

Italy led by a goal until the final minute, and the game entered the third minute of injury time, and the lagging French team fell into anxiety, with the Italians' chain defense and the god of Toldo in the semi-finals leaving them helpless.

Seeing that the game was coming to an end, the Italian fans on the sidelines had even begun to celebrate, but at this moment, Wiltord came on as a substitute to bring the Gallic rooster back to life!

In the 93rd minute of the game, Cannavaro jumped up at the top of the arc of the penalty area and made a mistake in clearing the header! The ball fell into the left side of the penalty area, and Wiltord, who followed up, won the ball and volleyed from a tight angle! The French team came back to life at the last minute! Equaliser!

Italy, who had taken the lead in the second half, had no last laugh, with Piero's two squandered chances and Cannavaro's late mistakes to nullify a night's effort.

With a thought of heaven and a thought of hell, the Italians, who had already lost their spirits, were powerless to stop the Gallic Roosters in extra time.

In the 13th minute of the first half of extra time, Pire started on the left side of the front field, continuously changed direction past a number of defenders and then went down to the bottom triangle to pick up the pass, and Trezeguet in the middle of the penalty area made a volley into the upper corner of the goal, and Toldo was caught off guard!

At that time, the overtime system was the Golden Ball system, which was called the "Sudden Death Law" by fans, so the French team reversed Italy 2:1 and won the championship directly!

It can be said that if it were not for the revenge of the 2006 World Cup, Italy would have had a lot of money to calculate when it played against France.

The 2006 World Cup is also an unforgettable and painful memory for France.

Therefore, when Italy and France meet again in the final of this World Cup, it is destined to be a focus battle of revenge and counter-revenge!
