Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

"Okay, no more small talk, the game is about to start! Let's follow the broadcast camera and enjoy the last game of the 2020 European Cup together!"

On the court, Chiellini and Kane exchanged team flags and the two sides guessed the side of the coin.

Soon, as the Dutch referee Kuipers blew the whistle, the game officially began!

The Italian team kicked off first!

There are many celebrities who came to Wembley to watch the game today.

In the football field, there are familiar FIFA President Infantino, UEFA President Ceferin, FA CEO Mark Bullingham, etc.

There are even more political figures.

Prince William, who is nominally responsible for the management of the entire English football world, little golden retriever Johnson and Italian Prime Minister Mattarella.

In addition, in the field of performing arts and sports, Beckham and Tom Cruise--Tom Cruise came to watch the game.

Before the game, Beckham also posted a message saying that he hoped Chen Chen could have a good performance and help the England team win!

Beckham has been praising Chen Chen for a long time.

It is reported that Beckham was originally going to sign a business and agency contract with Chen Chen after the European Cup, but because Chen Chen confirmed earlier that Mendes would be his agent, Beckham decisively gave up the agency invitation.

However, Beckham did not give up. He turned around and sent Chen Chen an email about the endorsement contract in the name of an individual + business company.

Chen Chen knew about this, but he did not respond.

It is not that Chen Chen is a big shot, but mainly because there are too many contents in his emails.

In the absence of an agent and a lawyer to help him deal with it, Chen Chen chose to put it aside first and talk about it later.

He is not afraid that these business contracts or endorsement contracts will be far away from him. As long as he can continue to play well and achieve good performance, what is there?

Of course, this also reminded Chen Chen that he must deal with these things immediately after the European Cup!

The first team to kick off was the Italian team.

Immobile kicked the ball to Jorginho behind him, and then quickly ran to the England half with Insigne.

There was a loud booing at Wembley Stadium, all made by the Three Lions fans!

After all, it was the home court! The fans' advantage had to be used.

In fact, before the start of this game, the mainstream voice in Europe did not want England to win the championship.

Because they believed that the Three Lions had gained a lot in the game.

From the group stage to the final, England only moved to Rome in the quarterfinals, and the rest were all home games!

Everyone should know how important the home advantage is. Norway's shining brother "home dragon away worm" is the best example.

Belgium coach Martinez said bluntly, "I think England has taken a big advantage this time. When the game enters the knockout stage, the team at home always has an advantage."

Italy coach Mancini also expressed relevant highlights before the game. He believed that the final should be held at a neutral stadium.

But after winning the final, Mancini changed his face, "I think they (England) deserve the final. They are very stable and it was a very exciting game. I like playing at Wembley!" Interestingly, the President of the European Commission, German von der Leyen, also made a clear statement in support of Italy. It can only be said that leaving the EU seems to have made England the target of public criticism. The last time Italy and England played in the final was in 2012, and the last time was in 1980. There are two players in the Italian team who played in the blue army in 2012, that is, the two old men. As for England, only midfielder Henderson has played so far. Today, the two old men started, and Henderson did not start. It is hard to say whether Italy has no successors or the two old men are too strong? Of course, as long as the fans watched the semi-final against Spain, they can understand that this is because the strength of the two old men is still online! None of the young Italian defenders can compare with these two! In the match against Spain, Chiellini and Bonucci not only had to defend the attack in the middle, but also had to find time to help Emerson on the left.

Facing the impact of Oyarsaul and Koke, left-back Emerson was indeed a little overwhelmed.

It's not his fault.

After all, the opponent attacked the left so fiercely, how could Emerson, who had only 15 appearances in Chelsea for a whole year, withstand it?

Even former England international Mills posted a message saying, "Emerson didn't play many games in Chelsea, and his condition was not the best. Italy's 4-back system has weak links, and we must make full use of it!"

So how did such an Emerson start in a row?

It's purely because of Italy.Li has no better defensive choice in this position!

Acerbi, Bastoni, or Florenzi who was injured before and after the start of the group stage?

Return to the game.

On the court, Italy did not attack as soon as they came up. They controlled the ball as much as possible and controlled the rhythm of the game.

Mancini's ideas are exactly the same as those of former Italian international and Juventus central defender Barzagli.

In an interview, Barzagli said to the camera, "The team must control the rhythm of the game and cannot let the opponent have the opportunity to control the ball and attack the defense line. We must keep the ball at our feet as much as possible."

In this regard, England's countermeasures are also very simple.

The team formation changed from 3412 to 352, and Chen Chen retreated to participate in defense.

After the Italian team took the ball across the half court, the Three Lions players immediately rushed up to press.

In this kind of offensive and defensive tug-of-war, the Blue Army lost the ball!

After getting the ball, England immediately accelerated to counterattack.

The ball soon came to Chen Chen's feet.

Kane retreated to respond.

Chen Chen pushed the ball to him.

But Jorginho was intercepting behind Kane, and the British captain withstood Jorginho's leg-stretching pressure and passed the ball back to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen looked up at the right area, which was waving to the team Trippier, and decisively chose to meet the ball and pass it long without stopping!

"Bang!"

In the eyes of nearly 90,000 people at the scene!

The football was hung in the right area!

"Chen Chen!"

"See Trippier! Pass to the right!"

"Very good transfer! The Italian defense is a bit overwhelmed!"

Facing Emerson's defense, Trippier first stopped the ball steadily at his feet, then accelerated and changed direction, and finally made a 45-degree cross!

Xuanming Er Lao and Jorginho all focused on Kane, Chen Chen and Carwin who quickly inserted, and completely forgot about Luke Shaw who was flying on both wings at the back point at the same time as Trippier!

The Manchester United left back at the back point scored the ball steadily without being marked!

Donnarumma was defending on the left side of the goal, and he couldn't flash from the left to the right in an instant!

The Italians could only watch the ball fly into the net!

Then the Wembley Stadium was filled with warm and resounding cheers!

The score on the big screen changed immediately.

The game time had just passed the third minute.

Italy 0-1 England!
