Post-match statistics showed that this was the fourth time that Switzerland had played in the knockout stages of the European Championship, and this was the first time that their victory was not decided by a penalty shoot-out. Looking back at the previous European Championship knockout stage experience of the Swiss team, starting from the 2016 Euro 1/8 final against Poland, to the 2020 Euro 1/8 final against France and the 1/4 final against Spain, the Swiss team has always fought fiercely with their opponents, and finally played a tragic role in the penalty shootout.

Huang Jianxiang said in the article that an Italian fan had asked him for advice before the game, hoping to get some advice about the game. The fan originally planned to go to Germany to watch the game, but Huang Jianxiang advised her to think twice: "Why do you have to go to Germany to endure the cold wind and cry while nibbling on a cold and hard big hot dog?" Huang Jianxiang half-jokingly said, "The result of this game is unpredictable, if you really can't play Switzerland, wouldn't it be a trip in vain?"

Hearing this, the Italian fan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to stay in China to watch the game. However, after the results of the match, she still couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart. Huang Jianxiang comforted: "What's there to cry about? After all, the strength is not as good as others, and there is nothing to do if you lose to Switzerland. Didn't I tell you earlier that it would be satisfying to be in the semi-finals this time, and it would be a surprise to make it to the quarter-finals.

After the emotions of the fans gradually calmed down, they looked at the defeat from a different angle: "It doesn't matter if you don't go to Germany to watch the game, the current Italian team not only plays poorly, but the players are not as good-looking as before." It's ugly and disappointing. However, despite this, she said that she would continue to support the Italian team: "But I still want to be a fan of the Italian team, after all, the charm of football is not only about winning or losing, but also about that dedication and love."
