Chapter 80 Little Generation! Ba Shen
With a two-goal lead in the half, the Belgian team has completely controlled the rhythm of the game. So far, they have basically not given the Italian team any chance, and the most successful of which is undoubtedly the defense against Balotel.
How to defend Balotelly?
The first thing is to cut off Balotelly's contact with the midfielder. In the semi-finals, the German team's self-harm formation taught Belgium a lesson. It was because they gave Balotelly too much space to move, which was handled by Balotelly alone. Digan knew this very well. In the three midfielders of the Italian team, De Rossi The basic task is to defend and protect Pirlo. Marchisio has both offense and defense, and Montolivo is hidden behind the two strikers.
If the German team's midfielder failed to gain the upper hand in the confrontation, Belgium has to do better in this regard. Among them, Fellaini and Na England have a heavy defensive task. Their task is to limit Montolivo and Pirlo, so that it is very dangerous for them to face the goal and take the ball. Cassano's creativity and Balotelly's Shooting will play a huge role.
There is also to strengthen the physical confrontation. Balotelly is a striker with excellent technical bodies. He is as strong as Gomez and Ibrasimovic. The defenders defending him must have the same body. Holmes and Badstuber of the German team did not succeed. In this regard, Kompani is obviously going to succeed. More.
In addition, there is offside. The long pass of Pirlo and Montolivo is fatal. In the face of a single knife, Balotoli no longer thinks about life. Cassano is active on the sidelines. In fact, the Italian striker is only Balotli. It is a good choice to make an offside. If it can succeed a few times, Ba Shen will be impatient. Facts proved that Indeed, in the first half of the game, Balotheli fell into the Belgian team's offside trap three times.
It is effective and dangerous to create an offside. The defense line must maintain a high degree of concentration, especially on the side of Van Biten, who is moving slightly slower. It should not be distracted by the defense of Cassano. If the offside position is made, it is very dangerous for the full-back to fail to press it in time. Fortunately, the experienced Van Bitten is not in the first half. Make a fatal mistake.
Of course, the bigger problem still lies in Balotli himself. After scoring twice in the semi-finals, his popularity soared. From controversial players to the track of normal players and horror shooters, Galliani, the general manager of AC Milan, couldn't help cheering: "I had foreseen that he would explode. I said earlier. Italy is different from having him on the field. He instinctively scored more goals in the semi-finals. After the European Cup, he will be promoted from an excellent player to a great group and give him an adjective? Extraordinary."
While the Italian team congratulated each other, they wore high hats to judge who had more credit. Bufon said, "Barotheli has set sail. He has infinite potential, which is a high starting point ahead of others."
Plandli said: "Baroteli is in a very ideal state. He has done it. We are happy. I give him a full score of 10. Do I have a special preference for crazy players? As long as you resonate with him, he will be your winning weapon.
But obviously, Balotelly was so happy that he was even a little carried away, so he arrogantly said that he wanted to score four goals in the final after the semifinals, but in half of the game, the Belgian stole his beloved toy in an undisputed way.
Digan also scored two goals and told Balotheli that he was only a junior in front of the king.
After defending Baloteli, Belgium has to consider how to win the game. The most effective way is to complete the hanging directly in the midfield.
Italy has four midfielders, and Belgium is the same, but Degan often retreats, giving Belgium an advantage in terms of local numbers.
It can be seen from the defeat of the German team that the Italian team's ability to control the midfield is quite strong, but the Belgians have better skills than the Germans, and the midfield competition has also become the key to determining the outcome of the game.
After the halftime break, Plander used Di Natale to replace Cassano. After Di Natale came on the field, he immediately got a chance. 45 seconds in the second half, Marjo made a cross from the right side, and Di Natale headed the ball in front of the goal, but unfortunately it was slightly higher and passed the crossbar.
followed, the game once again entered the Belgian time. In the 47th minute, Hazard broke through the left side and made a low shot from the top of the arc in the penalty area and deflected from the left post.
Just a minute later, Hazard made a comeback, broke through the two shots on the right side of the penalty area and was blocked by Buffon.
In the 51st minute, Hazard went straight to the left side of the penalty area, Degan was 10 meters in front of the goal, and his left foot shot was saved by Buffon.
In the 58th minute, Balotry finally waited for his first shot of the game, and he volleyed 24 meters from the goal on the left.
Then Digan also made an adjustment, replaced Druer with Dembélé and continued to strengthen the offensive. In the 61st minute, Dembélé sent a direct pass after breaking the ball in the front court. Degan succeeded in offside and broke into the penalty area. In the face of Buffon, his mind was surprisingly calm. In the process of high-speed dribbling, However, although Buffon made a save move, Degan's shot was too sudden. The football passed through Buffon's armpit and flew directly into the lower right corner of the goal, 3:0!
Hatrick!
Degan's fifth hat-trick in this European Cup!
"I can't believe it. I can only use this adjective to express my excitement at this moment. The fifth hat-trick, Degan did it! He accomplished a miracle, and he became the first player in European Cup history to complete five hat-tricks, which is crazy! Degan conquered Italy alone!"
After scoring the goal, Degan also looked very excited. His jersey was pulled off by him and ran all the way on the court.
Other Belgian players also rushed up. They wanted to stop Degan, but Degan was too fast.
Plandelli watched on the sidelines and couldn't help but be distracted. The game has been played for an hour. Looking at the players in Belgium, they are still alive, while the Italian players, one by one, seem to have reached their physical fitness. This is the gap, which is why Italy is suppressed.
Shake his head and returned to the coaching bench. Prandelli knew that there was basically no hope in this game, and the three-goal Belgians ahead would not leave Italy any chance.
