The championship match at the Olympic Stadium in Germany at 3 a.m. on Sunday will decide who belongs to the current champions. On the one hand, they went through extended matches, trying to beat landlord Germany and then technically beating France. Spain will reach the final through levels five and six. On the one hand, an opponent that looks easy to deal with, but stumbles all the way to the brink of exiting the tournament, but always manages to win the game within the rules, England. Whether they win the title or break through without it, it will be an unexpected match. The lowest pre-tournament odds for the winner are on England, followed by Spain, which is rightly reflected in this final combination.
England made a crazy comeback and came from behind before winding up.
One reversal can be considered lucky, but is reversing many times a strength? The mental strength of England coaches and players grows over the course of the tournament, and they grow accustomed to playing soccer in the face of adversity. When they fall behind, they don't panic. Different players always stand on the brink of knockout matches, completing comebacks after falling behind first in three consecutive knockout matches. This is no accident. England coach Gareth Southgate has guided his team to two consecutive championship matches, and with no coach before him having reached Europe's final, this year is the perfect time to challenge for the title.
Spain's starters are back and the defense is stable
Dani, the star right back, is suspended for one game. Young Carvajal and center back Robin Le No doubt Normand's comeback is a timely one, the defense is more complete and the center forward remains young midfielder Dani. Olmo is the centerpiece. He is definitely a dangerous man who can change the game. If too much space is given, it can lead to goals being conceded. Left and right wingers are Lamine, full of heat. Yamal, Nico Williams, both creativity and individual breaks are very well thought out and England's fullbacks will definitely have a lot of trouble staring at them.
head-to-head record
The two teams have met 27 times in their history, with England holding a slight advantage with 14 wins, 3 and 10 losses. The last two internationals were played in the 2018 UEFA Nations League. Both teams have won one match each and have similar strengths.
scheduling will determine victory or defeat (idiom); dispatching is the key to success
Gareth twice replaced Phililgate, Southgate Foden and they both worked well. Once against Slovakia, Jude Bellingham's stoppage time reverse hook; Cole again against Holland, substitute Cole. Palmer contributed immediately, relying on his pass to find Olliee, substitute striker. Watkins, one back with the ball, shot straight at him with his foot and the ball not only went through the legs of Dutch center back Stefan de Vrij at an angle and speed that the keeper couldn't save straight into the bottom left corner of the goal. The best way to interpret this is the perfect single arrow, direct, not dragging, and properly timed substitutions.
It wasn't that Phil Foden didn't play well, Phil Foden had a positive first half. A long range shot from outside the box that hit the post and a push that was blocked on the goal line showed his determination to win the game. It can only be said that the two freshly replaced substitutes can contribute immediately and see the depth of England's bench. England was more passive in the second half. Although the ball control is superior, but he can't play a few effective offense. On the contrary, Holland's counterattack was excellent, and many threatening attacks could be ended in 90 minutes. It couldn't have been better for England.
Overall, Spain's offense is the better side. The current all-conquering record relies on a powerful offense that has taken a big step forward all the way to the championship match. The sound of the championship reached its highest level after the quarterfinals match against Spain 2.:1 beat France. It seemed that neither England nor the Netherlands could stop Spain from winning the title. However, England have missed out on the title since the world's first win in 1966. England have been champions and strikers for a long time. Kane has never won a title in his career, among other topics. Breaking the title drought is not easy. The more fun it is to conquer a seemingly unbridgeable pinnacle, the more fun it is to conquer. The writer is optimistic that England will be strong when they meet a strong man and win their first title in Europe.
