Although Spain pressed Italy to fight, Yunsheng was not in a hurry at this time, because this situation was within his expectations.

Cannavaro, who was sitting next to him, came to the side of the court from time to time, watching the frequent dangers on the court, and he was always worried about the team's defensive problems.

When he returned to the coach's bench from the sidelines for the Nth time, Yun Sheng patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Fabio, don't worry, don't look at Spain's fierce attack, but I am very sure of our defense." ”

Cannavaro was a little puzzled: "Why? Didn't you tell the players very seriously on the training ground the other day that Spain's attack is fierce and that one careless will concede a goal? ”

"That's for fear that they will be too complacent and get into trouble," Yun Sheng said, "and Spain is good everywhere in this game, but the biggest problem is one. ”

Speed on the side also came over: "What's the problem?" ”

"There is no Messi in this Spanish team."

Yun Sheng looked at the direction of the stadium: "Spain played a 4-6-0 formation today, and it is no problem to deal with ordinary teams, but it is not so simple to tear apart the steel defense of Italy." The three midfielders we played today, even Pirlo's position was as far back as possible, three midfielders plus four defenders, and the defensive formation was very layered, and there was no chance for the Spanish players to play short passes. ”

'They had a couple of good combinations, but they didn't open up at all, whether it was a long-range shot or a forced kick, they were all close to the goal. And Bosque doesn't like to use a genuine center forward, and in the case of small methods, he simply can't combine Bonucci and Barzagli in individual combat, and the two full-backs Chiellini and Abate are also world-class full-backs. ”

"So don't look at Spain pressing us now, but they don't really have a lot of effective attacks. And once we hit a quick counter-attack, Spain couldn't stand it. ”

Speed on the side nodded repeatedly: "That's right! After this period of running-in, I found that the counter-attacking speed and technique of this Italian team even surpass Juventus to some extent, especially the two geniuses of Cassano and Balotelli, when they are in good shape, they are definitely the world's top strength! ”

A few people were chatting when an unexpected change took place on the pitch.

Now in the 36th minute, Spain once again played a beautiful short pass, this time Andres Iniesta curled a brilliant shot into the far corner from the left side of the box, and the ball was saved by Buffon.

Xiaofa wanted to step forward to shoot, but Buffon rushed forward more quickly and held the ball firmly in his arms.

At this time, most of the Spanish players were in the Italian half, and now is a good opportunity for Italy to counterattack!

Although he didn't succeed in making up the shot, Xiaofa cleverly blocked in front of Buffon, pretending to retreat slowly, but actually stopped Buffon from kicking big.

However, Buffon moved to the left and threw the ball hard at Bonucci, who was cutting forward!

Bonucci rushes out of the box! After attracting the Spanish player's pressing, he did not hold it up, but decisively handed the ball to Pirlo near the center circle!

At this moment, Italy's trident accelerated at the same time and rushed towards the Spanish penalty area!

This is a great opportunity!

Several Spanish defenders quickly marked and retreated, and Busquets, who was closest to Pirlo, fell to the ground and slid on the side, preferring to eat cards than stop Pirlo!

Pirlo easily picked the ball past Busquets, and just as he landed, the ball was already out!

While Cassano and Balotelli were both opening up space, Pirlo's pass was still handed over to club teammate Piero!

He trusts his old national team partner even more!

Piero stopped the ball steadily, and when Arbeloa stepped forward, he suddenly cut inside and changed direction, and then accelerated forward quickly!

He came to the most familiar "Piero area"!

Kick and shoot!

The ball went in!!

At the end of the first half, Piero scored a valuable goal!

1 to 0! Italy broke the deadlock and scored!

In the live broadcast room, Vieri shouted excitedly: "Piero scored the first goal of the Italian team in this cup!" We got ahead! ”

Di Livio on the side was even more excited: "After being pressed by Spain for half the game, we broke the deadlock with a counterattack!" This counterattack is a standard 'Yunsheng counterattack', a standard 'Juventus counterattack'! ”

"Buffon threw the ball to Bonucci, Bonucci passed the ball to Pirlo, Pirlo assisted Piero to score, this series of operations was crisp, and we saw the invincible ascent of Juve's central axis in the Champions League final!"

The Italian fans in the stands celebrated wildly! They vent their emotions of being pressed and beaten by each other all the time, and they are worried!

On the sidelines of the court, Yun Sheng hugged the two assistant coaches and enjoyed the joy of leading.

"Guys, I said our defense is fine!"

"Sir, you're right! Not only is the defense fine, but our offense is also strong! ”

"If we can beat Spain, we have a lot of possibilities in this European Cup!"

Looking at the excited Italian general, Spanish coach Bosque's expression was still calm.

He didn't have a bad start, and he didn't encounter it.

In the 2010 World Cup, Spain lost to Switzerland in their first group game, and then won consecutive games to finally win the World Cup.

Looking at the excited Italians, Bosque didn't care.

There is still time, how this game will be won or lost, let's see.

With five minutes remaining, Spain continued to play with a pass-and-control style and Italy returned to the form of seven players involved in the defense.

The referee's whistle blew and the first half was over.

The Italian players chatted excitedly and walked off the field with smiles on their faces.

The Spanish players were also calm and did not show any frustration or disappointment for conceding a goal, and it seemed that they did not care much about the goal.

Looking at the state of the Spanish players, Yun Sheng's heart was under more pressure.

Back in the locker room, Yun Sheng looked at the players present, his expression was very serious.

"Guys, although the Spanish team is behind the score now, there is nothing unusual about their expressions. The team that has won the European Championship and the World Cup in a row is too strong, why don't they care about conceding goals? Because they firmly believe that in the second half of the game, they will be able to recover the score and even overtake! ”

"Guys! We're one goal ahead, but we're actually the more dangerous one right now! The Spanish team is like a beast with scratched skin, and their attack in the second half will definitely be more violent! ”

"I ask you to give your all in the second half and concentrate more on this strong opponent! Go all out to win the first game! ”
