European cup (e.g. soccer)
The final is about to start, England will sit at Wembley to face the traditional European rival Italy. Before the match, Sohu Sports talked to soccer expert Liu Chuan, who looked forward to this much-anticipated final showdown.
Speaking about the recent developments in England and Italy, Liu Chuan said, "We received an email yesterday just saying that Italy would be in the
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
The last time they stepped on the practice field before the final, but what they stepped on was not the field of Wembley, but actually the last practice. England is relatively low-key, has been shocked, the media is also mobilizing their fans, and did not produce any news on and off the field, is very rare.
European cup (e.g. soccer)
So far none of the media have produced any kind of situation or scoop. The media is letting the wind out of Foden's sails that he's not participating in practice and Southgate says Foden's availability is in doubt."
"The media assisted Southgate with a smokescreen on Saka last game. So for Foden in this similar situation, the news media performance has seen it all. However, even if Foden is able to make the roster, England should still play exactly the same formation as they did against Denmark. Everyone's eyes are on England's right side, and since the general consensus is that Italy's left side will be the weakness, the right side will be England's primary direction. The pre-match tactical analysis and prediction or not, all around the right side of the attack to open."
When asked what key words the English media have for this game forward, Liu Chuan said: "The first point is just said the right as the main direction of attack, they think Saka in the right should be able to complete the task, if he and Sterling then switch, it will certainly give Emmerson to form a problem. But that doesn't mean that England will bring up the pace at the start, as that is more risky."
"The second point is that Kane should not fight with Bonucci and Chiellini to fight body and speed, those two veterans are very experienced. England's Jenas suggested that Kane, like Denmark, withdraw to midfield, take the ball with the two backs, control the ball, and leave the gap in front of himself to the two wingers and Mantle, so that they can do their work. This will make Italy confused, because Bonucci and Chiellini must want to and Kane hard, but you start if you can not touch Kane, then you follow or not? If they do, they'll have to adjust their tactics. This will be a challenge for Italy. But I believe that Mancini will be well prepared for this kind of practice operation in England."
"The third point is to focus on Walker there do not go out of the situation, because the right not only need to assist, but also to face the Italian star Insigne, the British media said, Insigne is full of confusion, he is not tall, not robust, not fast, but one or two creative two-on-one or perhaps a foot straight pass, may be able to beat you through. Thus the media focuses on Walker never shutting down and time to hold on to the situation."
England semi-final rely on a controversial penalty knocked out Denmark, when asked whether the media commented on this kind of topic, Liu Chuan said: "Italy I did not pay too much attention to, the England side did not present after the game back to pull the penalty thing, because they are the side that benefited. The general situation is that the beneficiary of the controversial penalty will not go back to comment. At least many of the comments about the penalty there in Denmark didn't make it into the English media. So the post-match controversy about Sterling's penalty wasn't, was shocking."
"When the match first ended, some England fans felt that the penalty award was indeed a controversial call, on the basis of which most people thought that in terms of the perception of what could be awarded or not, the situation of not awarding the penalty was higher. Because there is indeed a touch, but that touch is very slight, not enough to make Sterling fall to the ground. For such a foul, the customary situation is not to award a penalty. Some have said that they are now enjoying their time given that at one time the beneficiaries of such controversial penalties were England's opponents."
When asked about the local influence of this final in England, Liu Chuan said: "England's auxiliary prime minister and the Queen have sent a message of encouragement to the whole England team in their own names. England must be the focus of the whole nation, and Johnson also said that the whole of England is behind your death, and the convenience store downstairs has posted a newspaper saying that it will not operate during the competition, because the businessmen are going to see the competition. Most people will be watching the game, but the atmosphere being baked up by the media is not in common with what I'm seeing over here."
Looking ahead to the ultimate showdown, Liu Chuan said: "It's hard to predict this game. Because a few days ago someone said to me, from the paper strength, Italy has been stabilized, and stand in the point of view of the England team, the Italian team in the
England Premier Soccer League
The only two who have played are Jorginho and Emmerson, while seven men inside the England squad have played
European crown
The final, I do not know the so-called paper strength from where to talk about, if from the point of view of the European Union, the logic of this statement does not make sense. It is undeniable that the players of these two teams don't have many chances to play against each other. From the style point of view, it is impossible to say who must inhibit who, Italy's pass control and high pressure in the time of playing Spain encountered trouble, in the time of playing Austria for a moment can not take the game. I don't think it's going to be a resounding win for either side, but I think the home advantage will still be on England's side in the end. I think England will probably have the last laugh, and that's based on the current and
