The 1/8 finals of the European Championship were held as scheduled, the defending champions of Italy were unexpectedly eliminated, and Switzerland shocked the football world with a 2-0 victory. In the game, Switzerland took complete control of the situation with goals in the 37th and 46th minutes. Italy, despite a number of attacking chances in the second half, failed to change the tide of the game and finally had no choice but to accept the fate of being out.
In this crucial match between Germany and Denmark, fans were almost all eyes glued to the screen, not wanting to miss a single trace of suspense. The first half of the game was very intense, the two teams went back and forth, but neither team could score, and the scene was a stalemate for the time being. The weather also added a touch of drama to the game, with occasional thunderstorms adding to the tension on the pitch.
"The first half was all fighting, Germany has to work harder!" A netizen named Football Fanatic left a message on social platforms. He's not the only one thinking so, as fans are cheering on their team.
At the start of the second half, it was clear that the Germans had adjusted their tactics and attacked more aggressively. Anderson was the center of attention, and his brilliant shot in the 55th minute almost sent the fans cheering. However, the referee's flag made all this come to naught, and Wirtz's goal was ruled offside. The decision immediately sparked heated discussions online.
"This offside penalty is too harsh! Obviously a legitimate goal! A netizen complained. His views immediately drew support and opposition from other fans, "but the referee's decision is authoritative and we can only accept it." Another German fan tried to calm the argument.
However, the Germans were not discouraged and continued their attacking run and eventually broke the deadlock with a 63rd-minute penalty from Kai Havertz. The atmosphere on the pitch was lively, with the German fans cheering and social media filled with celebrations and analysis about the goal.
"Kai Havertz is as steady as Tarzan! This penalty is really too crucial! A netizen commented excitedly. His words speak to the hearts of the majority of the fans, who are full of confidence and praise for the team's performance.
In the ensuing game, Germany continued to control the situation and Denmark tried to counter-attack but could not change the scoreline. Musiala sealed the win with another goal for Germany in the 70th minute. Towards the end of the match, although Wirtz touched the net again, it did not affect Germany's progress to the quarter-finals.
"The Germans were so consistent and they deserved to win!" One fan commented after the game. His words were echoed by most fans, "This match showed the unity and quality of the German team, and we look forward to their success in the next games." ”
Italy's surprise defeat has sparked a lot of discussion in European football circles. Many pundits and fans began to scrutinize their tactical arrangements and player performances, with Barella's performance in the midfield position in particular becoming the focus of many criticisms. In the match, Italy looked helpless in the face of a Swiss counter-attack and failed to control the situation effectively. Barella was supposed to play a key role in the game as the heart of the midfield, but his mistakes led to a number of Swiss counter-attacking opportunities that overwhelmed the Italian defence. Barella is considered to be a versatile midfielder who has shown excellent technique and all-round ability on the pitch. His best fit is considered to be right midfielder, and this has been agreed by many fans and pundits alike. Barella's skill at his feet is superb, and his ability to pass the ball accurately in crowded midfield areas and cut inside when needed is a distinguishing trait. He is also very good for his movements, often showing full coverage of the pitch in the game and showing his attacking threat with his long-range shots.
'Barella's skill is really not to be said, he can play well in the right-back position. A social media user named Football Enthusiast said in the comments. He believes that Barella's versatility has made him a key figure in the Italian midfield, "He is not only able to organise attacks, but he is also able to contribute to the team with precise shots. ”
However, not everyone is optimistic about Barrera's performance. "Although Barella is technically strong, he can sometimes look a little thin against high-intensity matches." A netizen named Football Critic raised some questions about Barella's performance. He believes that Barella's defensive ability and confrontation ability need to be improved, "At critical moments, his mistakes could cause problems for the Italian team. ”
Meanwhile, the Swiss team showed impressive counter-attacking ability and a solid defensive strategy. They made the most of Italy's defensive holes in the game, especially taking a quick lead in the opening stages of the second half. The overall defensive strategy of the Swiss team made it difficult for Italy to attack, and they showed the consistency and technical ability required in the final stage.
"It's embarrassing for Italy to lose, they didn't show the temperament of the defending champions." A social media user named Football Fan commented. His views represent the disappointment and criticism of Italy's performance from many fans, "Barella's performance in the midfield position is really worrying, and his mistakes put a lot of pressure on the team. ”
In contrast, the excellent performance of the Swiss team has won the appreciation and respect of the fans. "Switzerland were really a dark horse this time, they exceeded expectations." Another fan commented on social media. He believes that the Swiss team has shown true team quality through accurate counter-attacks and tenacious defending, "I have a lot of expectations for them in the next games. ”
With Italy's early departure, the competition for the quarter-finals of the European Championship has become even more intense. The next game will determine who the next strong team may be eliminated, and we will also look forward to more exciting performances. This European Cup is not only a carnival for fans, but also a stage for each participating team to compete for honor.
