The Italian journalist almost spat on the ground!

Damn, what do you mean by "Even if I don't have any form, but I'm still confident that I can score!" ", what do you think of the Italian defense?

Do you still have Buffon in your eyes?

'I know a lot of people don't agree with what I'm saying, so if you're not in good shape, how can you score?'

Chen Fan continued with a smile: "I once said that it doesn't matter what I say, what matters is what I do. So you can see what I'm going to do in tonight's game! ”

The Italian reporter snorted coldly in his heart: Chen, let's see what you can do tonight!

……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was half past seven, and the players of both sides were preparing to play in the dressing room.

In the Dutch dressing room, Van Marwijk said: "Now we are only one step away from the final! ”

"For the sake of the great dream in our hearts, then, tonight we will prove to all that we can do!"

The atmosphere in the locker room was immediately lively.

In the Italian dressing room, coach Prandelli immediately moved into the tactical deployment after boosting the morale of his players: "We had to concentrate in the opening stages, the Netherlands are a team that is very good at playing blitzkrieg, we can't let them score early!" ”

"As long as we can contain their blitzkrieg, the scales of victory will tip on our side over time!"

Pirlo, Buffon and other dressing room leaders nodded slightly.

……

At 7:40, the starters of both sides appeared in the players' tunnel, and Balotelli, who was standing in the middle of the team, stared at Chen Fan tightly.

Chen Fan realized that someone was watching him, and he turned his head only to realize that it was Balotelli.

Chen Fan still knows a little about the Italian rising star, especially when he completed a beautiful volley barb in the group stage, which was praised by the Italian media for a long time.

Chen Fan smiled lightly at Balotelli, which surprised the Italian rising star, who was about to have an eye "battle" with him.

Balotelli didn't know what to do with Chen Fan's smile at him.

"Don't look at him, take a deep breath!"

Pirlo, who was standing behind Balotelli, said, and Balotelli shifted his gaze from Chen Fan's face to the player's tunnel.

Balotelli's personality is unruly, but Pirlo's words, he will still listen.

……

At 7:45, the starters of both sides, led by four referees, walked out of the players' tunnel.

They were greeted by a tsunami of cheers, and the broadcast booth immediately became lively, and the commentators of the major TV stations entered the state.

"Fans and friends! The starters from the Netherlands and Italy enter the pitch and this battle for the pinnacle is about to begin! ”

"Audience friends! With players from both sides entering the pitch, the second semi-final of this European Championship will begin immediately! Last night, defending champions Spain eliminated Germany with two goals from Iniesta to take the lead in the final! Another finalist will be decided tonight! ”

"The two teams played a warm-up game before the European Championship and the two sides drew one by one, which shows that there is not much difference in the quality of the two teams. So tonight's game is full of suspense! ”

"Now let's introduce you to the line-up of the two sides, Van Marwijk has a four-two-three-one formation, goalkeeper: Stekelenburg; Four defenders: Williams, Mathieson, Heitinga, Van der Wiel; Two midfielders: Van Bommel and De Jong; Three midfielders: Chen Fan, Sneijder, Kuyt; Forward: Robin van Persie.

Arjen Robben was not in the starting line-up, and Kuyt also started over the much-requested Huntelaar!

Kuyt will form a strong midfield with Van Bommel and Frenkie de Jong tonight to intercept Italy's attack, and he will have a heavy defensive task tonight.

Let's take a look at Italy's starting line-up.

Italian coach Prandelli lined up the traditional four-four-two formation: goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon; Defenders: Barzaretti, Leonardo Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini, their back line has been bombarded by Chan and Van Persie!

Midfielders: Marchisio, Pirlo, De Rossi, Montolivo; Forwards: Balotelli, Cassano!

It was this line-up that knocked England out of the semi-finals! ”

In the stands, football legends from both sides gathered, Gullitt, Davies, Seedorf; Baresi, Maldini, Skiraci......

"Tick! ……”

At eight o'clock sharp, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the Dutch national TV commentator said loudly: "The semi-finals between the Netherlands and Italy have officially begun!" ”

The commentator of the Milan sports station in Italy said: "Italy, who took the lead in serving, moved the football to the backcourt, and the Dutch midfielder immediately pounced on the half court to press!" ”

Chiellini, who had the ball, did not panic in the face of Van Persie's pressing, and transferred the ball to the feet of Pirlo! Pirlo didn't wait for Chen to come up, and immediately transferred the football to Barzagli's feet! ”

On the field, in the face of the pressing of the Dutch midfield, the Italian backline did not panic, but patiently reversed the ball.

When more and more Dutch people came to the pressing, Pirlo suddenly launched a quick counterattack with a long pass!

Football finds Balotelli with precision.

The Italian star lifted his chest and unloaded the ball and crossed it to Cassano's right side.

After Cassano got the ball, he took advantage of his speed to shake off the aging Van Bommel and kill towards the Dutch penalty area!

Balotelli leaps forward!

"Smack! ……”

Cassano seized the fleeting opportunity and fired a diagonal pass through the gap between the two Dutch centre-backs and into the box!

Balotelli, who arrived at the ball, pushed the ball and the ball flew towards the bottom right corner of the goal!

The attacking Dutch goalkeeper Stekelenburg dropped his center of gravity and stretched out his left foot, he wanted to block!

Between the lightning and flint, his left foot magically blocked the football, and the football changed direction and flew out of the bottom line!

"Boom! ……”

A loud bang rang out at the National Stadium in Warsaw.

The commentator for Sky Sports in the UK exclaimed: "When the game started, it was not the Netherlands that launched the blitzkrieg, but Italy!" Pirlo's long pass found Balotelli in front of him, who unloaded the ball and handed it to his teammate Cassano, and then immediately stepped forward!

Cassano got rid of Van Bommel and made a wonderful pass!

Balotelli, who followed up, pushed a shot and almost broke the Dutch goal! ”

The French TV 2 commentator said loudly: "When it comes to defensive quick counterattacks, at the club level, Real Madrid is the first, but when it comes to the national team, Italy is the first!" ”

"This time they almost took advantage of a quick counter-attack to break through the Dutch goal!"

The Dutch national TV commentator said with trepidation: "The Dutch team can't press big at the beginning of the game, they must pay attention to Italy's quick counterattack!" ”

Van Marwijk, who was standing in the command area, exhaled heavily and yelled at De Jong, signaling him not to press too hard.

The game restarted, Pirlo sent the football directly into the Dutch penalty area, Chiellini rose from the ground, a flick of the head, Stekelenburg struggled to lift the football off the crossbar!

In the next game, Italy actually pressed the Dutch half and launched a fierce attack, which surprised the reporters and commentators on the sidelines.

Is this a match between Italy and the Netherlands?
