For a lot of people, even-numbered years are always more flattering.

In addition to personal preference, the bigger factor is that there are major international football events in even-numbered years, such as the World Cup or the European Cup, which are big festivals for fans.

In the past Euro 2012 stage, 16 of Europe's top teams gathered in Ukraine and Poland to fight for the final title.

In the final, Italy defeated the mighty Spain on penalties, not only winning the European Championship, but also completely ending the era of Spain's pass-and-control football dominating the world. For many years to come, this European Championship final will always be remembered by fans.

In this event, countless classic shots have become a topic of conversation among fans.

Irish fans cheered their team in the rain, Casillas' girlfriend led the Spanish reporting team, Balotelli hugged his mother in the stands after his goal, and Buffon comforted Casillas in front of goal after the final......

These images have become eternal memories in the hearts of football fans, and they will endure in the long river of football history.

And after this game, the European Championship awards have also been announced.

Piero won the Golden Boot with six goals and he also won the Player of the Year award. The Italian captain held on to his responsibilities and led the team to the end with great spirit and skill, and he was a key contributor to Italy's victory in the European Championships.

In fact, in the hearts of many fans, Pirlo also has the qualification to win the best player, but Piero's performance is too eye-catching to cover up his brilliance, but the performance of a generation of Italian midfield masters has also won praise from fans all over the world.

Another player who has been praised is Gianluigi Buffon, who had a perfect club career last season, not only winning the treble with his Juventus teammates, but also breaking the record of clean sheets in Serie A and international football that had been in the dust for many years. After the game, "French Football" named Buffon, saying that he deserved this year's Ballon d'Or! ("French Football" named real historical events)

It's only summer, and it's a bit too early to talk about the Ballon d'Or, but it's certain that the candidate for the Ballon d'Or will be a double candidate for the quadruple winner Juventus and the Italian national team, with stars such as Gianluigi Buffon, Piero and Andrea Pirlo being the most likely.

And the award for the best coach undoubtedly belongs to the champion coach Yunsheng.

Taking over the Italian team halfway, according to the tradition of Huaguo, it is not good to change the coach in the field.

However, Yunsheng meshed this team into a top powerhouse with his outstanding performance, defeating the powerful Germany, England, and Spain along the way, and finally successfully reached the top, and his football philosophy was once again confirmed at the national team level.

In the UEFA 2012 UEFA Official Team of 23 selection, the champion Italy occupied 11 places, with Piero, Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo, Balotelli, Cassano, De Rossi and other stars selected.

In an interview with reporters after the game, Yunsheng publicly said: "I like the Italian team very much, and I enjoy this European Cup trip very much, but I prefer to coach a club team in the future, so unfortunately, I will not renew my contract with the Italian team, from now on, I will not be the coach of the Italian team." Good luck to the Italian team for the future. ”

This decision has left many Italian fans sad.

They originally thought that Yunsheng would continue to stay, lead the team to the 2014 World Cup, and help the Italian team replicate the miracle of the Spanish team, but in the end Yunsheng still left.

Like a gust of wind, he blew cool across the night skies of Poland and Ukraine, bringing all Italian fans the most beautiful dreams.

However, among the many Italian fans, there is still some who are very excited, and that is the Juventus fans.

Yun Sheng did not renew his contract with the Italian team, and he is very likely to return to Juventus as coach!

This assumption is valid, after all, Yunsheng left Juventus only to help the Italian team in an emergency, and there is no other contradiction.

Well, at least from the outside.

After Yunsheng announced that he would not renew his contract with the Italian team, Juventus President Agnelli stood up for the first time, saying that he would definitely try to bring Coach Yunsheng back to Juventus and let him continue to help Juventus achieve a leap. And when facing the media, he sincerely said that he would give Yunsheng more transfer funds and more management power, and bring Yunsheng back to Turin City at all costs!

A few days later, Yun Sheng did return to Turin City.

But he's not back to coach, he's coming back to celebrate the European Championship.

The day after the final, the Italian team chartered a flight back to the Apennines.

When the plane landed at Rome Airport, countless fans eagerly awaited to greet their heroes.

The President of Italy personally met with the entire Italian team and thanked them for their achievements.

And Yunsheng was awarded the Knight of the Order of the Star of Italy!

The Star of Italy is a cluster of two star-shaped crosses overlapping each other, with two intertwined olive branches and oak branches underneath. This medal is awarded to foreigners and Italians abroad who have made an outstanding contribution to the promotion of friendly relations between Italy and other countries, and is one of the highest honors bestowed by Italy.

Wearing the Italian star, Yun Sheng felt very emotional.

Unexpectedly, he came to Italy for two years, not only helped Juventus become a quadruple champion, but also led the Italian team to win the European Cup.

The festival goes from Rome to Milan and from Milan to Turin.

Over the next few days, the festivities will continue south, and cheers and applause will ignite the excitement of the whole country.

However, Yunsheng took leave in advance and asked for resignation.

The president of the Italian Professional League, Beretta, once again made an invitation: "You are a hero of Italian football, and countless fans want to meet you in person and thank you. ”

Yun Sheng smiled and said: "It is enough to have champion players such as Piero and Buffon appear, it doesn't matter if I have it or not." ”

Beretta looked at Yun Sheng regretfully: "This time, I don't know when we will be able to meet next time." I wish you could stay in Serie A. ”

Yun Sheng looked into the distance: "The Italian team is very strong, and there are young talented players such as Balotelli and Bonucci, the future will definitely get better and better, I wish all the best for Italian football, and I wish President Beretta all the best." ”

Looking at Yun Sheng's indifferent and peaceful expression, Beretta not only sighed in his heart.

After Yunsheng leaves the Apennines, where will the future of Italian football go......
