On June 30, Beijing time, the biggest upset of the European Cup broke out, and the draw was drawn to the perfect position, and Italy, the defending champion who is also considered the biggest favorite to advance to the knockout round, went home directly in one round!
In the first round of the knockout round, Italy faced Switzerland, which had previously drawn with the German team, and thought that it was just an accident that Germany was drawn by the Swiss team. But it turned out that Switzerland were really strong, and they actually sent the defending champions away with a ruthless 2-0 game.
If you say that in the 37th minute of the first half, the first goal of the Swiss team, Donnarumma has already pounced on the ball, more or less unlucky, but the number of shots on goal is 10:1 in the half, this kind of data will not lie, Italy is just being beaten, and there is a high probability that you let the Chinese national football team come to this kind of scene. Being bombarded by others, attacking 10 times, and only shooting 1 time on goal, does Italy play like a traditional giant? Switzerland is really repressive.
Italy, on the other hand, had no rules, as if they had temporarily pulled 11 people to play football, and they didn't cooperate at all. If the offense doesn't work, forget it, Italy's defense is gone, it's like paper paste, and it looks precarious and crumbling. Sure enough, they had conceded the ball in the first 46 seconds of the second half, in fact, Italy had already made a mistake and was tackled from the first 27 seconds, and then the Swiss team launched a counterattack, and Faggioli had a big foot when the kick-off had been broken.
At that time, his teammates were still rushing forward, and he was broken by a kick, and even caused the five people who ran forward to be a little too late to return to defense, and witnessed such a loss of ball. 0:2 in the 46th minute, it is impossible for this Italy team to catch up, because their strength is really not enough, the midfield and forward line are too poor, and the back line is full of wooden stakes.
If it's normal to say that the offense is not good, but the Italian defense is not good, is it that it has lost its traditions? The Italian team conceded 2 goals in the whole game, and conceded 5 goals in a total of 4 European Championship games, which is more than the number of goals they conceded in the entire 7 games of the last European Championship.
After conceding two goals in 46 minutes, Italy didn't even show the determination to get the game back, and the number of shots on goal was 16:10, and the Swiss team also surpassed the Italian team, except for three yellow cards, Italy did not impress anyone, it was a pure fiasco. Originally, everyone thought that the two sides would die in this game, and even played extra time and penalty shootouts, but they didn't expect Italy to go home without resistance.
Looking at a scene, people already know that the Italian team is finished, that is, when they fell behind 0:2, they were not in a hurry or impatient, and they were still in the backfield, standing in place and not even moving, and kept the score. At that time, I was watching the game, and in the last two minutes, I was still passing the earth in the backfield, and I didn't want to lose my face. Commentator He Wei complained about Italy on the spot: "Kicking slower than food delivery." ”
They didn't even run, so weren't they in a hurry? It's a shame, it's the first time we've seen each other after we've been behind in the knockouts. In the whole game, Italy lost to coach Spalletti on the one hand, and on the other hand, lost to the weak ability of the players.
In the end, Italy created a 31-year moment of shame, and the last time they lost to Switzerland was back in 1993, when many fans were probably not even born. The sudden change of formation in the knockout round to abandon Jorginho, Pellegrini, and the reuse of Faggioli and Shaarawy can only say that Italy deserved to go home, and now, maybe we have to congratulate England in advance?
