The debate about which one is better, the European Cup or the World Cup, has always been a hot topic among football fans.
A comparison chart of the starting lineups of both sides was displayed on the big screen, and Zheng Zhi put forward his own opinion.
"Although both teams reported a 4-3-3 formation, in fact their formations changed quite a bit."
"Spain's formation is not 4-3-3, but 4-6-0! There is no absolute forward in the Spanish team's starting lineup. There are three attacking midfielders in front. Del Bosque used it before. With this tactic, although there are no forwards, every player can become a forward in front of Spain's world-class passing and control."
"Italy's formation is not 4-3-3, but 4-3-2-1! Coach Yunsheng continued his Christmas tree formation at Juventus this time. Del Piero and Cassano will definitely retreat appropriately. Taking advantage of the two of them to advance the ball and open up space is beneficial to both offense and defense.”
As a former player coached by Yun Sheng, Zheng Zhi has a deep understanding of Yun Sheng, and his analysis is clear and clear.
At the same time, in the live broadcast room next to Li Feixiang, two hosts from Italian Football Sports 3 were also conducting pre-match analysis.
As the main commentary team for this European Cup, Di Livio and Vieri followed Group C throughout the entire process.
At this time, Di Livio's analysis of the two teams' formations coincided with Zheng Zhi's.
"Yunsheng's Christmas tree has already dominated Europe this season. He will definitely transfer the style of play he is most familiar with directly. In addition, most of the Juventus players in the main lineup, as well as several top Italian players from other clubs , they can definitely play the Champions League championship level, I am full of confidence in this game!"
As Italian football commentators, their position is naturally on the side of Italy.
But despite this, Vieri is still quite worried: "If we meet other teams, I think Italy has a high probability of winning, but today our opponent is the powerful Spain. I think Yunsheng must not be optimistic. .The strength of Spain's three lines is very balanced, which is perfect! It is difficult for Italy to prevent their offense, and it is also not easy to break through their defense. As long as we don't lose in this game, I think it will be good. …”
In the distant Apennines, Vieri was scolding at this moment.
Despite this, many sensible fans still agree with Vieri's statement.
This Spanish team that has won the European Cup and World Cup consecutively is really too strong.
Under the great expectations of fans all over the world, with the referee's whistle, the focus of the European Cup group stage officially started!
Spain took the lead to kick off, and they quickly got into the game as soon as the game started. Just after the game started, they continuously passed and received the ball in the midfield and frontcourt, 24 non-stop passes, which won the applause of the fans in the audience!
"Alonso and Busquets passed the ball in two consecutive passes, Marchisio and Pirlo did not touch the ball."
"Xavi stepped forward to respond. Faced with De Rossi's pressing, he distributed the ball to the wing. Alba suddenly drove forward with the ball!"
"After attracting the attention of the Italian defense, Alba quickly passed the ball to Alonso, who heeled to Xavi."
"Xavi made a precise through ball, and Iniesta received the ball! He hit the ball from the edge of the penalty area to the other side, and Silva kept picking the ball!"
"Fasciano in the middle quickly stepped in! This is an opportunity! Bonucci quickly grabbed the ball and intercepted the ball!"
"This series of cooperation is simply wonderful. Italy is full of dangers!"
Two minutes later, Balotelli's powerful shot slid out of the goal, and Spain's attack came again.
"Busquets protected the ball on the spot and avoided Cassano's attack."
"Xavi retreated to receive the ball. Under the defense of Pirlo and De Rossi, he rubbed the instep of his outside foot and the ball came to Alonso's feet."
"Alonso makes a long pass to find Silva! Silva gets the ball in the corner of the penalty area! Both Iniesta and Fabio are being marked, and it's difficult for Silva to get the ball out."
"He chose to shoot directly from outside the penalty area! Buffon held the ball firmly!"
"Within less than ten minutes of the opening, Spain's two attacks were very threatening!"
The Spanish fans in the stands kept cheering excitedly, and although the Italian fans were also cheering for their team, they never felt at ease.
But compared to them, Yun Sheng on the sidelines was much more down-to-earth. He was sitting on the coach's bench, looking very relaxed.
Vieri was a little dissatisfied in the live broadcast room: "In such an important game, Yunsheng seems to not care about the result. Does he really not care about this short-term contract?"
Di Livio shook his head: "Don't say that. The Italian team has spent a lot of effort to invite Yunsheng to lead the team. If Yunsheng doesn't care about the European Cup, then he shouldn't take over at all, okay?"
Vieri: "Although I say that, why is Yun Sheng not anxious at all?"
Di Livio looked at the direction of the court and said slowly: "Have you noticed that although the Spanish team has a strong offensive power, they do not pose a great threat to Juventus' goal?"
"This..." Vieri looked at the goal. He also felt this. After thinking for a moment, he slapped his hand hard, "I understand, maybe it's because Yunsheng has found a way to deal with Spain's forwardless formation!"
According to Vieri's speculation, maybe Yunsheng has found a way to deal with Spain, which is what all Italian fans are looking forward to.
But it is very regrettable that except for Balotelli's volley in the opening and Piero's long shot later, Italy has never had any decent offense.
Instead, Spain's attack intensified and it looked like it might break the deadlock at any time.
A minute ago, Spain once again played an exquisite attack. This time Alonso, as a green leaf, gave up the midfield to Iniesta who retreated.
In this way, the three Barcelona iron triangle of Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets can form a more tacit cooperation.
Coupled with the previous Fabio, this Spanish star who has just joined Barcelona for one season also performed very positively in this game.
After a series of short passes in the midfield, the ball was handed over to Fabregas again. Fabregas leaned on Barzagli, turned around and shot, and the ball slid out.
The coordination before this shot was very exquisite. Italy's defense could not intercept the ball at all, but the final shot was still a little bit worse. Under the strong suppression of Barzagli, Fabregas' shot fell short.
Now the game has reached the 20th minute, and the score is still 0-0.
However, the strong sense of oppression created by the Spanish team throughout the game made the Italian fans present and in front of the TV always on tenterhooks...
