On June 30, Beijing time, the European Cup broke out in a big upset, and the defending champion Italy lost 0-2 to Switzerland in the 1/8 finals and was eliminated, missing the top 8. In this game, the Italian team was terrible at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, after conceding a goal in the first half, the Swiss team scored again in the first 27 seconds of the second half, and the performance became more and more outrageous, and it was simply the worst Italian team in history. Italy also set a record of humiliation after this game, losing to Switzerland for the first time in 31 years.
The game was painful for the Italian fans, who were sleepwalking like classic cars, with players swaying around and not knowing what they were doing, and not running actively. In the 37th minute of the first half, Vargas crossed, after Freuler got the ball, there was no one to defend in the penalty area, the players behind ran up slowly, and another Italian player symbolically made up the defense, and at this time Freuler was fully prepared to shoot, goalkeeper Donnarumma was powerless to save, and could only watch the Swiss team penetrate their own door.
In the 27th second of the second half, the Italian team conceded the goal this time It was even more incredible, the Swiss team was easy to pass in the Italian team's penalty area, there was no defensive pressure at all, and after Vargas got the ball, there was also no defender to stick to the defense, and he directly blasted out the world wave to break the goal, which looked too easy. There is no doubt that Italy are the most disappointing team of this tournament, if not one of them, and probably the worst in the history of this traditional giant, and there is no bright spot to be found.
As a die-hard fan of the Italian team, domestic celebrity Huang Jianxiang was also completely angry, and he criticized the Italian players for being ugly and vegetable. "Just now an Italian fan thanked me and discouraged her from going to Germany to watch the game, saying that she would now have to cry in Berlin with a big, cold and hard hot dog. I said what is there to cry about, I really can't kick it, it's a pity and no regrets. Didn't I tell the Italian fans and friends a long time ago that they would be satisfied with the semi-finals this time, and they would be surprised if they reached the quarterfinals. This one slowed down for a while, changed his thinking, too, don't go, the current Italy, not only does the ball play poorly, but also doesn't look good! Ugly and vegetable! However, I still want to continue to be a fan of the Italian team."
Huang Jianxiang's words really hurt the Italian players, they used to be called the male model team, but now they really can't find players with good looks, and more importantly, they are really too vegetable. Reporter Luo Ming believes that this Italian team is like the national football team, "the key passes in the first half, Switzerland 6 times, Italy 0 times, on the field, Italy is like the national football team in some periods, and it is difficult to fall on three feet."
He Wei, a well-known commentator, pointed out the key to Italy's exit, and his analogy is also very vivid, believing that Italian players are slower than European delivery workers. It is true that to the point, the main reason for the Italian team's loss is that the running is not active, not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end. Such an Italian team does not deserve to win, the players do not have the mentality to win, and it is not an accident that they missed the World Cup before, and it has indeed declined too much compared to their peak.
The Swiss team celebrates wildly and will face the winner of England and Slovakia in the last eight of the European Championship. Looking at it now, England may be smiling too, and if they can successfully advance to the last eight against world No. 19 Switzerland, England will have the upper hand, and it looks like they have a lot of hope of winning the European Championship this year.
