Chapter 78 Attack! European Red Devils!

In addition to the European Cup final, the European Red Devils Belgium has participated in the finals of the international competition four times. It has won the championship twice before, and Italy has won the championship five times. This is the tenth time they have participated in the final of the competition.

After the short and warm closing ceremony, Portuguese referee Proenza blew the opening whistle. The Belgian team took the lead in launching the attack, which was different from each previous game. This time, the Belgian team did not seem to be in a hurry to attack to gain an advantage. After repeated passes, the football was carried out by Barzali in front of the Italian team's penalty area. After the steal, the Italian team launched a counterattack, and Pirlo, the core of the midfield, made a long-range shot slightly.

Belgium's first threatening attack. In the sixth minute, Degan took a free kick 30 meters away from the goal and was held out of the crossbar by Buffon.

Then, Hazard made a corner kick on the right side, and Digan pressed Barzali in the penalty area, shaking his head and attacking the goal slightly higher.

In the next time, the Belgian team began to gradually take over the initiative on the field. Although the Italian team had done a very good job before, especially against the German team, their performance was eye-catching.

But the intensive competition, coupled with injuries, has consumed almost all the energy and energy of the Italian team before the final.

In the tenth minute, Hazard and Digan quickly cooperated on the left side. After Digan broke through with the ball, he made a foot across. Fellaini's shot at the front of the penalty area at high speed was blocked. He took the ball and passed it to Digan. Digan cut the ball 25 meters in front of the goal, and the volley was blocked. Then Hazard and Digan kicked With the cooperation of the wall, the latter's volley 17 meters in front of the door was once again higher than the beam.

"In the first minute, after a period of testing, the Belgian team began to work hard. Although people were generally more optimistic about the Italian team before the game, hoping that they could replicate the miracle six years ago and win the championship, but from the current form, it seems that the Belgian team has taken control of the overall situation and scored It's just a matter of time!"

The commentator's point of view is not biased. The passive situation of the Italian team made Prandelli frown repeatedly, which is not small from his expectations before the game.

Prandelli knows the current situation of the Italian team better than anyone else. If he fights a war of attrition with Belgium, it is purely death. The only chance for the Italian team is to attack, take the lead in scoring goals, and then use all resources to defend, even if it doesn't matter. In this game, Prandelli What I'm aiming for is the final.

Contemping the current situation of the Italian team, Prandelli can't help envy the Belgians. A group of young people in their twenties are physically capable and have first-class physical quality. The European Cup has reached the last moment, and the Belgian team has not suffered any injuries.

Look at the Italian team, De Rossi, Barzali, Abate, Mota, Cassano, and it is not an exasurpassion to say that the wounded soldiers are full. Fortunately, Barzali and others will not even come back before the game, otherwise, Prandelli will not even be able to assemble a starting lineup of 11 people.

Digan has also tested the energy that Italy now has now. I have to say that he is a little disappointed. Originally, he expected to have a battle with the Italian team led by Prandelli on the stage of the European Cup final. Unfortunately, the previous games have greatly damaged the Italian team and reached the final. After that, the Italians were at the end of the crossbow.

"They don't seem to be as terrible as we think." Fellaini looked at the Italian team, which had shown fatigue only ten minutes later, and frowned and said.

Digan smiled and said, "I'm not surprised that they behave like this!"

The game lasted ten minutes, and the Italian team did not even hit the Belgian team's 30-meter area except for Pirlo's long-range shot.

"But~~~~~~~~~~"

Fellaini said, "I know that you can't underestimate Italians at any time!"

Digan laughed and said, "That's right!"

If there is one team in the world that is the most elusive, it is the Italian team, and the German team has also performed miracles, but obviously there are not as many highlights as the Italians on the miracle journey.

As for the dark horse, although a dark horse will be born in every competition, it will often reveal its original shape at the last moment. The Italian team is not a dark horse, but they can often perform miracles without being favored by the whole world.

For example, in the 2006 World Cup, when the telephone gate incident broke out in Italy, almost everyone thought that the Italian team, which was plagued by scandals, was just a walk through, but they unexpectedly rushed all the way, reached the final, and finally defeated Belgium and became The champion of the Cup.

The same is true for this European Cup. Before the start of the game, Italian football was also full of scandals. Gambling, internal mischief, and aftershocks of the phone door were better than six years ago. The performance of the Italian team in the first two rounds of the group stage also seemed to confirm. People's previous speculation that the group stage was over and they returned home.

But the subsequent game shocked everyone's attention. The Italians died and then came back. They fought repeatedly and sang all the way. The two strong Britain and Germany became their sacrifices and finally went all the way to the final.

Looking at Italy, Digan never dared to think so. No one knew that the group of Italians with thick and hard nerve lines like steel billets would inadvertently do something earth-shaking.

"Concentrate! Let them advance by one goal! From now on, attack! Attack! Attack! Attack!"

European Red Devil! Attack!

Digan, the most leader, sent a signal of attack. Belgium suddenly accelerated and attacked wildly. Although the Italian team's defense was tenacious, it was dense and sparse. Finally, in the 14th minute, Belgium opened the record.

Fellaini passed the ball in the midfield, Hazard accurately blocked the right side of the penalty area, Lukaku accelerated to get rid of Chiellini's defense, and returned to the middle near the bottom line, Degan followed in time, six meters in front of the goal, the header gently, the football flew directly into the top of the goal, 1:0.

After scoring the goal, Digan took a look inside the Italian goal. After confirming, he opened his arms and ran away in the direction of the stands.

In the stands, Park Ji-yeon and her friends have hugged tightly together, and Park Ji-yeon's tears are about to flow down.

How Degan spent the past two years? Park Ji-yeon, who has always been with Degan, knows best. Now that Degan scored on the stage of the European Cup final, all the haze has finally dissipated at this moment.

Watching Degan run to the stand, Park Ji-yeon leaned over with tears in her smile and hugged Degan. Suddenly, countless cameras flashed wildly.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Degan scored again. This is his thirteenth goal in this European Cup. This is crazy. Belgium took the lead in the 14th minute of the first half. Degan seems to be in a very good state. Does he want to play a hat trick in the final, if so? I bet that even after another 100 years, no one will copy his feat!"

The Belgian commentator naturally cheered, while the Italian commentator sitting next to him had a sad face. Although they were full of confidence before the game and shouted that the Belgian team would taste the bitterness of failure again six years later, from the beginning of the game, he felt the Italian in front of him. If the team wants to defeat Belgium, it really needs some miracle components.

"This is too bad. In just 14 minutes of the game, the Italian team scored a goal. It was Degan who scored, damn it! Can't that bastard stop for a while? All right! We must admit that that guy is really too powerful. Prandelli may regret his arrangement and use Barzali to keep an eye on Digan one. This arrangement is too risky. When Digan shot just now, Barzali was at least two meters away from him. I really don't know. At that moment, Balza What is Mr. Li thinking? All right! There is no way to save the lag behind. Fortunately, there is still a lot of time now. I hope the young men of the Italian team can show the fans something different in the next game!"

Prandelli can only shake his head helplessly. Barzali may be responsible, but Digan's grasp of the timing of Lukaku's pass and the explosive power of that moment are the key to this goal.

Can't that guy hide his sharpness after two years of cold?

This loss is the first time that Italy has fallen behind in this cup, which also makes Prandelli's heart a little heavier. In the history of the European Cup finals, the team that scored first has never lost in 90 minutes of regular game time.

Italy lost the European Cup first, with a total record of 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses, and the only reversal was against Bulgaria in the 2004 group stage.

The lessons learned in the past made Prandelli's heart sink continuously. What should I do at this time?

It's absolutely impossible to retreat, and the defense is meaningless. The Italians' only choice is to attack!

But it is obviously very unwise to fight against the Belgian Red Devils on the field, but Prandelli has no other choice.

Thinking about it, Prandelli walked to the sidelines and waved his arms twice at the Belgian half.

After Digan saw it, he smiled and said to himself, "Cesare! You want to work hard, right?"
