As the World Youth Cup held in Argentina reaches its climax, tonight will see the final four matches of the tournament, and one of the highlights will be the summit match between Italy U20 and South Korea U20. Looking back at the performance of the two teams, Italy U20's offense is full of firepower, but the defensive end is a little weak, only 1 game without conceding a goal, the stability of the defense line is not enough; while the South Korea U20 has not lost within the legal time, the defense players have performed well, and the probability of the handicap of the visitors to win is quite high in this game, sitting at home. (Friday, 5:00 a.m. sharp)
Italy U20's centerpiece of the attack, Cassady, who plays for Reading in the English Premier League, has scored six goals in this tournament to lead the top scorer list, and has a great sense of goal. Looking back on Italy U20's performance in this tournament, they have 4 wins and 1 loss in 5 matches, including a 3-goal lead against Brazil in the group stage, which led to a narrow 3-2 victory, and they failed to keep the goal unbeaten in the last two knockout matches against England and Colombia, with the only exception of the Dominican Republic, which is a weaker team, and did not concede a goal. This seems to indicate that Italy U20 is tactically more inclined to attack, and relatively insufficient on the defensive end, which may reveal its shortcomings in the knockout stage.
