Just as Zhuang Mingge was stranded in Tenerife, Spain for the future of Fiorentina, the much-anticipated European Cup match had already kicked off vigorously.

The opening game started at Wembley Stadium on the afternoon of June 6. England, the chief center Alan Shearer, opened the scoring in No.8 minutes. A penalty kick turned the three points that the Englishman was about to get into one point.

Well, leaving aside the depressed English players and their fans who wanted to hit the wall, let us turn our attention to Italy, which has been at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion since before the start of the European Cup.

As the runner-up winner of the World Cup in the United States, Italy led by Sacchi is naturally considered one of the favorites to win the championship. Although the odds of winning the championship in Italy have declined to a certain extent after the announcement of the 22-man entry list, no one dares to ignore this team. Italy.Don’t you see that in the World Cup in the United States two years ago, Italy, which stumbled out of the group stage, entered the knockout round and made it all the way to the final.

"I believe that everyone in the national team is now ready to win. Don't mention Baggio to me. It's the European Cup. I'm only responsible for leading Italy to victory. I don't care about other things."

The first group match with Russia on June 6 seemed to be the same as what Sacchi said before the game. Italy firmly occupied the initiative on the field throughout the game and beat Russia into a mess. Casiraghi, who was brought to the European Cup against all opinions, scored twice in the game, helping Italy beat Russia 11-[-] and made a good start in the European Cup.

After scoring three points, Sacchi, who was overwhelmed by the criticism from fans and public opinion, finally stood up. When interviewed by reporters, the old man insisted that the players he chose were the best players. The ones that suit my own tactics, although Baggio and Pagliuca have good abilities, but because they are not suitable for my own tactical system, I have to reluctantly give up and so on...

Sacchi, you can just take advantage of the moment to talk nonsense. If it doesn't suit your tactical system, Pagliuca and Baggio have a chance to participate in the World Cup two years ago?It is clear that you are narrow-minded and taking personal revenge for revenge. After reading this interview, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help lowering Saki's character evaluation by a notch again.

Think about it, how many coaches can have a bad relationship with Pagliuca, Baggio, Mancini, Vialli, Panucci and other stars?It is rare for Saki to be able to do this for a man.

By the way, one of the reasons why Baggio was not selected for the European Cup is also one of the reasons why he was determined to leave Fiorentina. After all, he was not selected for the national team when he won the Triple Crown with the team, which really made Baggio a little discouraged Feeling cold.

Just when Sacchi was in trouble, Italy ushered in the second group match of this European Cup. The Azzurri will play a game in Liverpool with the Czech Republic, which lost the first game.

Since the Czech Republic was defeated by the Germans [-]-[-] without any suspense in the first game of the group stage, for this game, no one thinks that the Bohemians will have the possibility of winning against Italy, which is stronger than Germany. .

On June 6, the Anfield stadium was packed, and the whole stadium almost became a blue ocean surrounded by Italian fans.However, although the Italian fans dominated the stands, the teams they supported could not dominate the game.

Nedved opened the scoring for the Czech Republic in the 4th minute of the game. Although Chiesa equalized the score in the No. 18 minute, the rest of the game became the performance time of the Czech goalkeeper Kuba , the goalkeeper bravely saved the shots of Chiesa, Casiraghi and Zola in a row, but he didn't let Italy rewrite the score again.On the Czech side, striker Beybul succeeded in a surprise attack in the No.305 minute of the game, [-]-[-], and the Eastern European newcomer Czech Republic upset Italy.The tens of thousands of Italian fans watching the game were saddened because the team they supported lost the game.

Sacchi, who was talking nonsense before the game, was almost drowned by the angry Italian fans after the game. Looking at the starting lineup arranged by this guy, the 33-year-old Musi actually replaced Torricelli in this game. Starting right back, it turned out that he was repeatedly broken by Pavel Nedved on the right to create murderous intentions, which led to the collapse of the entire Italian defense.

After an unexpected upset loss to the Czech Republic, the qualifying situation of Italy's Group C began to become weird. Needless to say, Germany, which won both games, won the first game against the Czech Republic as long as they did not lose in the last game It is guaranteed to qualify as the group leader.

Russia, which lost both games, has bid farewell to this European Cup ahead of schedule.After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, Russia, which has won the most part of the big cake of Soviet football, has seen its performance in the competition go from bad to worse. People have to sigh that the powerful Soviet football has completely become a thing of the past.

Therefore, now the focus of Group C is on the Czech Republic and Italy. Italy must win Germany in the last group match to ensure the group qualifying; With three points and the Czech Republic also successfully won Russia, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Italy can only compare their records when they have six points in three games. There is no doubt that they scored two goals and conceded two goals in the two games against Germany and Italy. The three-goal Czech qualifying situation is the most unfavorable. After all, as long as Italy wins the opponent [-]-[-] in the next game, it is enough to join hands with the Germans to qualify.

It is precisely because of this that although the Italian media and fans have a lot of dissatisfaction with the loss to the Czech Republic, they are still within their tolerable range. After all, Italy still has a certain advantage in qualifying.

On June 6th, Italy ushered in a life-and-death battle with the German team at Old Trafford in Manchester, but to everyone's surprise, Mu, who was sieved by Nedved in the last game West still appeared on the starting list in this game, and Fiorentina defender Nesta was put on the bench for the third consecutive game by the season to serve as spectators. Another Fiorentina player Toldo also suffered and Nesta The same fate, because Sacchi chose Juventus goalkeeper Peruzzi.

Amid the cheers of more than 2 Italian fans at the scene, the Azzurri launched a fierce attack like the gate of the German team.

The game was extremely intense, but neither side scored. Italy had a chance to rewrite the score, but Zola missed arguably the most important penalty of his career.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Italy and Germany ended up with a goalless draw, a [-]-[-] draw.

However, in another match that was played at the same time, the Czech Republic and Russia staged a frenzied goal battle, and the final score was [-]-[-], with both teams scoring a point each.

In this way, the German team won the first place in the group with two wins and one tie with seven points, while the Czech Republic and Italy scored four points. Compared with each other, the Czech Republic was superior, so they won the second goal in the group The team is the Czech Republic!Italy ranked third in the group and was eliminated!

All Italian fans couldn't believe the facts in front of them, and some even broke down in tears.

I thought that none of them would have thought that Italy, the runner-up of the World Cup, would be eliminated in the group stage of this European Cup!
