Historical and classic Match between two of the most famous teams in the
European continent, the powerful Italy a hard and rocky always difficult
opponent to beat, and Spain the 'jogo' nice touch, defending champion and
defending champion.
After a burst of good play and good results against Czech
Republic and Turkey, the illusion of Red overturned in the match against
Croatia, where the 1-2 did much damage.
Italy returns to be among the best and comes with a
renewed and full of illusion equipment. Its first phase was like ours, great
start winning the first two matches, but defeat in the third against Ireland by
0-1, but yes, with alternates and secured the first place.
Spain also happens to be the best football team that
practiced in the group stage and received high praise. For more than Del Bosque
admitted that can worthlessness before the force of a negative result.
And this new / old Italy Antonio Conte has built looms as
an imposing opponent, because he has recovered the culture of catenaccio and
the minimum goals takes maximum performance. A major danger.
It is from there that goes to the Spanish imaginary
beating both the 2012 as a disappointment not forgotten the defeat in the
quarterfinals of the 1994 World Cup at Foxboro Stadium.
Italy reached the World Cup final US outstripping the
first phase problems. A final draw against Mexico after an initial defeat
against Ireland and a win over Norway. Two goals in three games, almost like in
this Euro, were enough to stand in the second round.
