Chapter 305 Massacre! The first hat-trick of the 2008 European Cup [a big chapter with 1 words, plea

Chapter 305 Massacre! The first hat-trick in the 2008 European Cup [-word chapter, please subscribe]

Spain took a special plane to Innsbruck Airport in Austria, and then took a bus from the airport to the southwest into the mountains and arrived at the famous ski resort Neustift.

Neustift is located in the Alps, surrounded by mountains. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, making this small snow-capped mountain town like a fairyland.

The hotel we stayed in in Spain was about 2 kilometers southwest from the small town. The scenery was very beautiful. A small river flowed down from the snow-capped mountains and passed behind the hotel house, making the whole hotel look particularly peaceful.

The hotel has 60 rooms, all of which have been booked by the Spanish national team.

The Spanish national team chose this hotel because of its seclusion and the fact that there is grassland for the Spanish national team to train outside the hotel.

When the Spanish internationals arrived at the hotel, the national team staff had already prepared all the equipment, luggage, ingredients and equipment.

After Yang Hao arrived, he first went to the hotel room to tidy up, and then went to check out the training facilities.

The hotel's facilities are all-inclusive, including a swimming pool and even a hot spring.

Standing on the training ground and looking up, you can see the majestic Alps. It is really like being in a painting. It is refreshing and very comfortable.

Yang Hao is also very satisfied with this.

The hotel and the town also attach great importance to the visit of the Spanish national team, so they have specially strengthened the security around the town and the hotel. At the same time, they have also carefully arranged the places where the Spanish national team can see and the roads they pass. Spanish flag.

This gave the Spanish national team a base feel.

Spain's first two group matches were both in Innsbruck.

This is also the reason why Spain chose to train in Neustift.

After the team arrived, Spain began its final preparations before the European Cup.

Especially the first game against Italy, it must be decided in a battle.

It is a coincidence that Spain, France and Italy have met in warm-up matches before, but the warm-up match is a warm-up match, and the European Cup is the European Cup, which is completely different.

What needs to be noted in particular is that in these two warm-up matches, both sides did not try their best.

……

Yang Hao still approves of Italy.

Judging from the familiarity with the previous warm-up matches and the intelligence carefully prepared by Mendiodo, Donadoni was not satisfied with the traditional Italian defensive football of the past, but wanted to make changes.

It can be seen from Donadoni's selection that Luca Toni will be the guarantee of this team's frontcourt offense.

But everyone knows that there is a serious lack of high-level wingers in Italy.

There is a problem common to many teams in Italy now, and that is metabolism.

Nesta was injured every time he entered a major competition, so he simply quit the Italian national team and focused on playing for Inter Milan.

Cannavaro is also old and has gradually lost his position in Real Madrid. He was replaced by Chiellini and Kompany. He was also injured before the European Cup. Therefore, whether the metabolism is stable or not will depend on Donado. A test that Ni faces.

In this European Cup, Yang Hao emphasized physical fitness and running the most.

He has a request, which is to strengthen the frontcourt pressing and on-the-spot counterattack. Coupled with Spain's best passing and cutting style in the past, physical consumption will be a very big test.

This is why Yang Hao even did not hesitate to equip three physical coaches.

As for the opponent Italy, Donadoni has been repeatedly adjusting the team's lineup.

Many people are speculating whether Italy will use Chiellini in its weak central defender link?

Chiellini performed well at Real Madrid and was well trained by Wenger, but he just lacked experience.

Materazzi, who has the most experience, has a problem. He is old, and the double central defender combination with Barzagli has high height, but lacks speed and flexibility, and suffers from turning.

There is no problem in frontal defense, but once you are hit from behind, it is almost a matter of accuracy.

However, Donadoni may also put De Rossi in front of the defense, but there are also coordination problems between De Rossi and Pirlo. Once De Rossi is on, where will Pirlo be?

There is also left back Grosso, who has been in good form recently. Should he be used, or should Zambrotta be used?

You know, Zambrotta just helped Barcelona win the Champions League and performed very well, and he is very familiar with Spain.

Donadoni keeps adjusting the lineup, just not wanting people to guess his starting lineup.

The same is true for Yang Hao.

At the new Tivoli Stadium in Innsbruck, when the team was participating in pre-game familiarization training, Yang Hao told everyone to relax as much as possible and basically did not practice any tactics.

The preparations that need to be made have been made before, and there is no use in improvising now.

So, the whole atmosphere is very relaxed.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Hao specially arranged for two psychologists from Atletico Madrid to accompany the team this time, in order to help the players relieve their psychological pressure and provide advice to the coaching staff.

After the team was familiar with the venue training, Yang Hao attended the pre-match press conference.

This is the first time he has participated in an important event since coaching the national team.

Since he coached the Spanish national team, he has achieved a complete victory record.

This is a very amazing report card.

In this regard, Yang Hao said with a smile, "I have never thought about continuing this record. This is of no use to me. It is better for me to win the championship."

Yang Hao expressed satisfaction with Spain's recent state, but did not reveal more details.

"The only thing I can say is that every one of the 23 players is eager to compete. They all know clearly that this European Cup will be an important milestone for Spain."

"I can't guarantee anything now. I can only promise that the players and I will work hard to play every game well."

"Trust us, we all know exactly what we're supposed to do."

A reporter from the media asked Yang Hao, hoping to reveal the starting lineup for tomorrow night. Yang Hao smiled and asked: "Will you take out your bank card and tell me the withdrawal password?"

Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

As the biggest head coach in world football today, Yang Hao can certainly refuse media reporters.

No matter how much they pressed, he didn't reveal anything. He could dismiss the media reporters with just a few words.

But Donadoni was obviously helpless, especially when he met Italian reporters.

When they repeatedly pressed Donadoni, the latter was unwilling at all, but the Italian reporter persisted.

Finally, Donadoni revealed, "I will make a decision tomorrow morning."

result……

……

In Yang Hao's previous life, there was a term popular among domestic fans, the European Celestial Dynasty.

It describes Italy.

Facts have proved that even the behavior of media reporters is consistent.

The game was held on the evening of the 9th. As a result, at 9 a.m. on the 10th, Italian national TV station announced the starting lineup of the Italian national team tonight.

Goalkeeper: Buffon;

Defense: Zambrotta, Materazzi, Barzagli and Panucci;

Midfielder: Ambrosini, Pirlo and Gattuso;

Forwards: Di Natale, Luca Toni and Camoranesi.

Whether this is the specific official lineup will only be known before the game starts, but Italian national TV reported that Donadoni has announced the lineup to the players, which is this combination.

Just a few minutes later, Yang Hao, who was far away in Austria, received a call and received this piece of information.

Let’s compare the list guessed by the Spanish national team’s coaching staff, and it’s pretty much the same.

The only difference is, Materazzi or Chiellini, Ambrosini or De Rossi.

These are two positions that the Spanish national team cannot be sure of.

As a result, the Italian national team gave the option.

"If it is true, then we should really thank Italian National Television!" Yang Hao said with a smile.

With the war imminent, leaking the secrets of the national team's preparations to the outside world, or even breaking the news about the national team's starting lineup in advance, is this kind of thing only the Chinese media would do, right?

Do they really think that the starting lineup is not important?

After getting the list, Yang Hao convened the coaching staff and the intelligence department for discussion, and finally came to the conclusion that the list should be true.

Yang Hao then called a meeting with the players.

In view of the characteristics of Materazzi and Barzagli, Yang Hao's request was that tonight's pressing area should focus on the midline to allow Italy to attack.

"Aren't they changing their style of play and trying to press out and attack?"

"We will help them!"

"Facing Materazzi and Barzagli, we must actively play behind, pull and transfer through passing, and if we have the opportunity, play behind again to allow players to move forward and take advantage of our speed."

As for Italy's midfield configuration, Yang Hao's requirement is to intercept fiercely, pass and cut when he gets the ball, and grab the ball when he loses it, in order to suppress the Italian midfielder.

"The most important thing is to be fast!"

Yang Hao clearly told the Spanish internationals, "What we are discussing now is not a friendly match, not a qualifying match, but the first game of the European Cup finals."

"Italy is never willing to lose, and we cannot give them the opportunity to retreat and defend tightly, so from the beginning, we must strive to create goals first and force them to press out and attack."

"Then, we will use our midfield technical advantages and passing advantages to attack the opponent's defense."

"I have only one request, the European Cup debut, not only my debut, but also the debut of many of you here, I hope you can give your best performance."

"Don't let me disappoint all the fans who have high expectations for you!"

The players were all deeply inspired after hearing this, and none of them could hold themselves back.

……

"With the whistle of the Austrian referee Plauts."

"The first match of Group D of the European Cup 2008, the much-anticipated match between Spain and Italy officially kicked off."

"The first to kick off was Italy wearing the blue jersey."

"The match tonight is at the New Tivoli Arena in Innsbruck, Austria."

"Italian forward Luca Toni passed the ball back to Pirlo, who then distributed it to the right and handed it to Panucci."

"Panucci tried to pass to Camoranesi, and we can see that Di Natale also ran to this side to cooperate with Camoranesi."

"Italy wanted to try and open up the opening through their right flank."

"Spain's left back tonight is Antonio Lopez. This player has strong offensive ability, but relatively weak defense. This also reflects Yang Hao's consistent use of troops."

"He is the coach with the most lovable coaching style in Europe and the most respected offensive football coach."

"Italy did not break through this time and the ball was stolen by Antonio Lopez."

"Pass it to Iniesta and knock back."

"A beautiful one-two from the wing. Antonio Lopez dribbled the ball through the center line and tried to find Villa to cooperate. Panucci fell to the ground and made a tackle. It was a very wonderful tackle."

"Look at Italy's counterattack this time."

"Near the center line, hand it over to Gattuso and try to pass to the wing."

"The intention was too obvious, Iniesta stole the ball."

"Gattuso counterattacked on the spot, but Iniesta got rid of it very well and passed the ball back."

"Xavi Alonso was at the end of the midfield and raised his hand to signal his teammates to steady the rhythm."

"But Italy have to be careful, Xabi Alonso often makes excuses like this."

"Sure enough, a long diagonal pass was sent to the right side of the frontcourt."

"Reyes couldn't react in time and the ball went out of bounds."

"The Spanish winger raised his hands apologetically."

"I have to say that Xavi Alonso's sudden transfer is sometimes not only surprising and shocking to us fans, but also his teammates who work well with him on the court are sometimes surprised."

"But it must be said that Italy still has to be careful with Xavi Alonso's long passes."

"The Italian team also has a very good long pass player, and that is Pirlo."

"Spain seemed intent on restricting Pirlo tonight, and Torres' position was relatively deeper."

"On the contrary, there are two wings, Villa and Reyes are pressing further forward."

……

When Italy threw the ball in, Spain quickly snatched it away.

As soon as he grabbed the ball, he immediately passed it continuously, avoiding the pressing of the Italian midfielder, and passed the ball back to Xavi Alonso and the defense to reorganize.

Yang Hao stood on the sidelines, watching the game silently, actually observing.

Italy seems to be 433, which is actually very flexible.

In other words, it's a bit like 451.

One of the more obvious features is that Donadoni also attaches great importance to pinching Xabi Alonso.

Needless to say, the defense line. What Yang Hao saw at this time was that they were lined up in the middle. From left to right were Di Natale, Ambrosini, Pirlo, Gattuso and Camoranesi. .

But what’s the interesting point?

When the ball came to Xabi Alonso's feet, Pirlo went up to grab it, but he didn't press forward.

Italy's midfield and backcourt remain relatively close, but Luca Toni's position is higher up.

When their defense line had retreated to the thirty-meter zone and the midfield line had also retreated to the front of the thirty-meter zone, Luca Toni was still walking slowly in the Spanish half.

There's really no way to blame him. After all, he's tall and strong, so running consumes a lot of energy.

After realizing this, Yang Hao immediately walked to the sidelines and shouted at Harvey.

The Barcelona midfielder was close to Yang Hao's side. When he looked over, he happened to see Yang Hao indicating that he should place the ball control area in the area from the center line to the thirty-meter area.

After understanding the situation, Xavi called on Iniesta to move back a bit, while Xavi Alonso pressed forward.

The full-backs Antonio Lopez and Ramos on the left and right sides also actively moved forward to provide support from the wing.

Spain is not obsessed with passing and penetrating from the center, but often passes to the two wings, pulling Italy's defense to move with it, and mobilizes in this way.

Only about 2 minutes into the game, Spain created an opportunity in this way.

The Italian midfielder refused to let the ball be controlled by Spain. Gattuso took the initiative and tried to steal the ball from Iniesta's feet, but Xiaobai used a skillful fried ball to avoid Gattuso's attack. , passed the ball to Antonio Lopez on the left, who pushed the ball forward.

This time, Antonio Lopez's forward attack failed to pose a threat to Villa, but it also opened up the situation.

"Have you noticed that the physical condition of Italian players is generally not very ideal and they are a little out of shape." Juanma Lillo asked, and he obviously saw the clues.

Yang Hao nodded, "We played too little in the warm-up match."

This is actually the concern of many media and fans before the game.

The Serie A league ended on May 5. As of tonight's game, Italy has only arranged one warm-up match.

This kind of competition intensity is definitely not enough.

You know, the players have just gone through a long season and their bodies are very tired. If they cannot adjust and recover well, it will be difficult for the players to be in their best form at the beginning of the European Cup.

The excitement of the game is also an important component.

Some people may think that slow heating is not bad at all.

But the problem is that the slow start must ensure that the team can qualify from the group stage.

When four teams like Spain, Italy, Portugal and France are drawn into the same group, who dares to slow down?

The group can't even qualify, so what's the point of being slow?

"I think we can speed up a bit and make a wave." Juanma Lillo said.

Spain's start was also a bit cautious, and Yang Hao was somewhat seeking stability.

At this time, Luo Ka also told Yang Hao a piece of data.

"From the beginning to now, the sprint speed of Italian players in several attacks is only 20 kilometers per hour."

After Yang Hao heard this, he immediately laughed.

What does this data mean?

It's just that Italy's attack speed is too slow.

After the previous European Cup qualifiers and Yang Hao's own estimation, Spain should be about 30 kilometers away.

Of course, this is just the beginning, but it is enough to reflect some problems.

The sprint speed in the offense is slow, so if you can control the ball, you need to be wary of it.

But now, Italy can't even control the ball and can't attack with speed.

Yang Hao walked to the sidelines again and gestured towards Harvey and others.

Press forward and attack!

……

When Yang Hao issued the clarion call to attack, the Spanish players on the court began to press forward and quickly created two shooting opportunities.

One of them was Torres passing the ball to Villa with his back, who got rid of the defender near the top of the center circle and hit the goal. This shot failed to hit the target and was confiscated by Buffon.

Another time was a diagonal pass from Reyes on the right, and Torres' shot was blocked by Buffon.

And just when everyone thought that Spain's offense, like Italy's, lacked enough threats, the Spanish midfielder created an opportunity to attack.

Iniesta and Xavi continued to pass and pull in the midfield, and were pressed by the Italian midfielder. They were forced to pass back to Xavi Alonso, allowing him to reorganize.

But as soon as Xavi Alonso stopped the ball, he made a slight adjustment and immediately sent a diagonal pass to the left side within a thirty-meter area.

Villa retreated and stopped the ball with his chest.

Panucci came up immediately and stood behind Villa.

But the Spanish forward smashed the ball with his right foot and cut inside laterally.

Although he was closely guarded by Panucci, Villa smashed the ball and got rid of it very skillfully, and after turning around and cutting inside, he immediately followed up.

Villa is not tall and is very flexible. On the contrary, the 35-year-old Panucci was unable to keep up with Villa's frequency and was given a chance.

The Spanish forward sent a through ball with his right foot.

Almost at the same time, Torres, who was still lurking in front of Materazzi and Barzagli, with his back to the goal and looking like he was going to meet his teammates, suddenly stopped, turned around and started to move forward quickly.

At this moment, Torres's starting speed and explosive power formed a very obvious contrast with the turning speed of Materazzi and Barzagli.

When Italy's two slightly clumsy central defenders turned around, Torres had already crossed behind Barzagli, caught up with Villa's pass, and then accelerated past the attacking Buffon.

After evading the Italian goalkeeper, Torres caught up with the ball at high speed, caught up with the football on the left side of the goal, pushed the ball into the empty goal, and sent the ball into the bottom of the Italian goal net.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Torres!"

"Only 13 minutes into the game, Torres opened the scoring for Spain with a wonderful anti-offside kick!"

"We saw that Spain's offense was organized very patiently. Through continuous passes, it lured Italy to attack, and then used Xavi Alonso's diagonal pass to find Villa, relying on the personal abilities of the stars in the frontcourt. Opportunities were created.”

"1 to 0!"

"Torres scored Spain's first goal of this European Cup!"

Everyone in Spain was celebrating wildly on the court, and everyone seemed extremely excited.

Yang Hao also smiled and turned around, high-fiving and hugging Juanma Lillo, Guardiola and others as they rushed over, celebrating the goal.

But soon, he walked to the sidelines and called to the players, indicating that they should be patient.

He had a hunch that Italy would come out and fight.

……

Facts have proved that Yang Hao's hunch was right.

After scoring a goal in the 13th minute, Italy began to press and attack like crazy, and continuously created threats in front of the Spanish national team's goal.

Especially in the 19th minute, two corner kicks were created in a row.

But when Italy took its second corner kick, Pepe got ahead of everyone and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Iniesta judged the spot and headed the ball to Xavi in ​​midfield.

Harvey stopped the ball and moved forward, dribbling the ball to initiate a counterattack, and passed a diagonal pass to the open left side.

Antonio Lopez moved forward at great speed, caught up with Xavi's pass, and rushed towards the Italian goal with a long stride. After rushing into the 30-meter area of ​​Italy, he passed the ball diagonally to the goal. The back of the goal.

Torres stepped in at high speed, and when he no longer had much shooting angle, he used the inertia of his sprint to jump high and head back to the goal.

Villa rushed in and shot in front of the goal...

"The ball goes in again!!!"

“Spain wins another city!”

"2 to 0!!"

"David Villa scored the second goal for Spain in the 20th minute!"

"It's only been 7 minutes since the last goal, only 7 minutes!"

"Italy conceded two goals in a row."

"This result is quite bad."

"We can clearly see that the Italian players did play a little too hastily."

"We can understand that they are eager to equalize the score, but they must understand that they are facing Spain, which has won all 12 qualifying games and is the most popular Spain in the European Cup!"

Yang Hao was already smiling from ear to ear on the sidelines.

As he warned before the game, we must try our best to hit Italy's back, especially the two central defenders.

When Italy starts to press, their defense will be very empty.

To put it bluntly, neither Materazzi nor Barzagli are central defenders with strong tracking abilities like Pepe and Ramos.

The ability of Spain's central defenders to recover is something that Italy does not have.

In this case, trying to play high and press out the defense is definitely a chronic suicide.

If Donadoni still doesn't believe in evil, he will definitely suffer.

……

Italy conceded two goals in a short period of time and did behave better.

Spain also took this opportunity to successfully control the ball and rhythm, and slowly started a war of attrition with Italy.

But this warm and harmonious situation did not last long.

At the beginning of the 35th minute of the first half, Italy launched another wave of attacks, trying to create a goal.

Spain gave a head-on blow.

In the 38th minute, Torres received a long pass from Xavi Alonso in the frontcourt and charged head-on with the ball. When being jointly marked by Barzagli and Materazzi, the Spanish center chose to stop and spike the ball in the penalty area. , knock back.

Villa followed up with a kick.

As a result, the shot was saved by Buffon.

Three minutes later, Reyes also had a long-range shot from the outside, which was blocked by the defender and failed to threaten the goal.

And in the 43rd minute, it was Spain's left wing. Antonio Lopez stepped in and joined forces with Villa on the left wing. As a result, he was flanked by many Italian defensive players.

Iniesta ran over to receive the ball from his teammate. After stopping the ball, he made another skillful fried ball. After getting rid of Gattuso's defense, he created a passing space and sent a diagonal pass. Once again The ball was sent behind the Italian defense.

It's Torres again, still moving forward quickly between the two central defenders.

This is the offensive method that Torres is best at. He rushed and immediately got rid of the two Italian defenders. After catching up with Iniesta's pass, he entered the penalty area and succeeded in the push shot easily.

Although Buffon judged the right direction and fell to the ground to try to block it, he was still unable to do anything.

3 is better than 0!

"Two goals!"

"Torres scored twice!"

"Oh my god, the Spanish center is scoring consecutive goals."

"Italy's defense, especially the two central defenders, couldn't stop Torres at all. Time and time again, they were pushed out of the defensive position by Torres and scored again and again."

"Buffon really tried his best."

"We can take a look at this slow-motion replay. The two Italian central defenders turned too slowly. Torres' explosive advantage is very obvious."

"And we also noticed that in this game, Spain often passed the ball behind, allowing players such as Torres, Villa and Reyes to sprint to catch up."

"This style of play will be a great test for Italy's defense."

"Almost three goals were scored behind Italy's back."

"Italy's biggest problem is that their midfielder failed to put enough pressure on Spain's midfielder and counterattack on the spot in a timely manner."

"This resulted in every time Italy lost the ball in the midfield, or after being broken through in the midfield, Spain could easily pass the ball behind the defense and use the speed of the attackers in the frontcourt."

"Although we all know that Italy's defense is one of the best in the world, once they lose power in the midfield, the fragility of the defense will follow. It will be difficult for them to stop the wolf-like Spain."

"This is definitely Yang Hao's specific and targeted deployment before the game, which completely pinpointed Italy's weakness."

"Especially in the first half, three goals almost meant that Spain had won its first victory in the group stage in advance."

"Donadoni needs to make more changes in midfield."

……

Yang Hao didn't know what Donadoni said to the Italian players when he was in midfield.

But from the beginning of the second half, Italy, which was 3 goals behind, showed a courage and determination to fight against the odds.

During the halftime break, Donadoni replaced Di Natale with Del Piero and replaced Materazzi with Grosso.

This is obviously an attempt to use Del Piero to launch an attack.

Yang Hao responded immediately, signaling Ramos to keep an eye on Del Piero.

After Grosso came on the field, Panucci began to play as central defender, Zambrotta returned to the right, and Grosso played on the left.

Since then, Italy began to sound the clarion call for a counterattack in the second half.

In the first 30 minutes of the second half, both sides basically struggled near the midline.

Italy put into the game unprecedented enthusiasm, and the pace also accelerated significantly.

Del Piero frequently got long-range shooting opportunities in his best area, but failed to pose a threat.

In the 58th minute of Spain, Xavi first sent a wonderful pass. Reyes kicked the goal from the right side of the penalty area, but Buffon confiscated it.

In the 65th minute, Villa sent a through ball and tried to find Torres. However, his intention was too obvious and he was hugged by Buffon who attacked.

Although the Italian goalkeeper conceded 3 goals in a row in the first half, he is still a great guy.

2 minutes later, Spain's offense created a corner kick, Xavi took the penalty, and Pepe's header was saved by Buffon.

The ball fell to the outside of the penalty area.

But at this moment, Xavi Alonso, who has always been a secretive man, suddenly came up, stopped the ball with his foot, adjusted it, and hit a powerful long-range shot.

Xabi Alonso's shot was groundbreaking.

No one could have imagined that he would suddenly come up and kick him like this.

When the ball penetrated the chaotic penalty area at lightning speed and entered the right side of the Italian goal, everyone woke up from a dream and looked at the beating football inside the goal line in shock.

4 is better than 0!

crazy!

Spain is going crazy tonight!

Italy is also crazy!

Before this game, who could have thought or dared to believe that Italy, which is famous for its defensive ability and had only played 3-0 with Spain in a warm-up match in March, would actually encounter such a situation in the first game of the European Cup. Failed miserably.

0 to 4, this is simply outrageous!

Not to mention that the fans didn't expect it, Yang Hao himself didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Moreover, there are even smoother ones.

In the 74th minute, Italy created a corner kick in the frontcourt.

At this moment, Italy has no intention of winning. They want to score a goal and save their face.

But even so, they still failed to achieve their wish.

The ball was played hard by Casillas, and Xavi Alonso volleyed directly and passed it to Xavi, who passed it diagonally to the left rib to find Iniesta.

Xiaobai pushed the ball forward and passed it to Villa's feet.

When Calabash chased the ball, it was flanked by two defensive players, Gianluca Zambrotta and Panucci.

The Spanish forward made a sudden stop at the front of the penalty area, spotted the opportunity, and passed the ball across.

At this moment, not only Zambrotta and Panucci, but also Barzagli were attracted, so that the top of the penalty area was empty.

Torres rushed over and caught up with Villa's cross. As soon as he stopped and saw Buffon attacking, Torres calmly fired with a kick.

The ball drew an arc, passed over Buffon's head, and penetrated into the Italian goal behind him.

"hat trick!!!"

"Torres scored a hat-trick!"

"5 to 0!"

"Crazy massacre! A completely crazy massacre!"

"No one expected that Italy, which has always been known for its calmness, would encounter such a crazy massacre in the first game of the European Cup."

"This is in the group of death!"

“When everyone felt that Spain was stuck in a group of death and it would be difficult to make a difference, and might even once again prove the curse of a hotly contested tournament, Spain came out with a hearty victory in their first match. "

"We have to admire the strength of the team coached by Yang Hao and admire Yang Hao's offensive football. At the same time, we have to lament the storm of offensive football displayed by the Spanish national team."

"Yang Hao's team shocked the entire European football world as soon as it appeared!"

……

Even at the end of the game, Italy failed to break Spain's goal.

They created several shooting opportunities, but were never able to pose a threat.

Spain made its debut in the European Cup. With Torres' hat trick and goals from Villa and Xavi Alonso, it beat Italy 5-0!

After this game, the entire European football world was completely shocked.

In the draw of the Group of Death, there were four equally matched teams. As a result, Spain beat Italy 5-0 in their first show, which was simply jaw-dropping.

After the game, the Italian media targeted Donadoni.

Gazzetta dello Sport believes that Italy was struggling in the European Cup after losing 0-5 to Spain in their first match.

This authoritative Italian media believed that in this real-life battle, Yang Hao’s team suppressed Italy in all aspects, “Every position of ours was particularly vulnerable to Spain’s attack. "

Gazzetta dello Sport stated that before the game, Donadoni did not have a high opinion of Yang Hao's Spain, believing that Spain did not encounter a truly strong opponent in the qualifiers, so it was able to win 12 consecutive games.

"But in Innsbruck, Donadoni's team suffered a head-on blow. Five goals almost ruined Italy's European Cup campaign. This ugly game put the national team in a quagmire."

Gazzetta dello Sport believed that Donadoni was the person with the worst performance in the game.

"Wrong formations and wrong starting tactics are the main culprits of Italy's defeat!"

Roma La Repubblica also pointed the finger at the head coach of the Italian national team, but the point he accused Donadoni was, why not use De Rossi, and why use Ambrosini, who performed like a disaster?

"It turns out that players such as Ambrosini and Gattuso are no longer able to provide the team with enough strength in the midfield. They have even become lazy in running. In this case, how can we ask them to come up with something?" What a performance?”

"De Rossi performed very well in Rome, but Donadoni was indifferent. In his eyes, there were only AC Milan, only Juventus, only Inter Milan, but not Roma!"

La Repubblica apparently blames the problem somewhat on conflicts between the city and the team.

……

Unlike the Italian media, which is generally clamoring for accusations, the Spanish media is singing loudly.

Even the most positive and optimistic people would never have imagined that Spain would beat Italy 5-0 in their first European Cup group stage match. This is simply unbelievable.

"At the scene, after watching this game, I and the Spanish journalists around me felt like we were in a dream."

"Spain performed so well throughout the game. They completely controlled the game, the football and the rhythm."

"Italy was like a headless chicken throughout the game. They played without any structure and couldn't even find a direction to attack."

Marca even listed the statistics of both sides. Spain's ball possession rate was as high as 66.2%, which was almost twice that of Italy, and the number of shots reached 22, while Italy only had 12.

Although data cannot represent everything, Spain's European Cup debut, an impeccable 5-0 victory over Italy, made a good start for this European Cup.

The most commendable thing is that even columnists such as Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of AS, and Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, ​​have written articles in their columns to praise Yang Hao's Spain.

The player of the match was Torres who scored a hat trick.

This is also the only hat trick in the first round of the group stage at this European Cup.

Moreover, Torres also had an assist.

In another matchup in the same group, Portugal faced France. With two goals from Ronaldo and Meireles, Portugal defeated France 2-0.

Two teams from the Iberian Peninsula both won in the group of death.
