El Renacentista Matteo Pessina Completa La Campaña Perfecta De Italia En El Grupo A
Utilizando una formación alternativa, Italia venció a Gales por 1-0 para cerrar su participación en el Grupo A de la Euro 2020 con una campaña perfecta: tres triunfos, siete goles a favor y ninguno en contra. Un pleno que nunca antes había ocurrido en la competencia.
El autor de la conquista ante Gales fue Matteo Pessina, mediocampista de la Atalanta quien, por sus gustos e intereses, parece un hombre sacado directamente desde el Renacimiento.
Italy Completes Perfect Group Stage With Another Impressive Lockdown Performance
For the first time in European Championship history, a nation has won all three of its group stage matches without conceding a goal. Italy defeated Wales 1-0 on Sunday to finish top of Group A and book a Round of 16 trip to Wembley Stadium, where they’ll likely meet either Ukraine or Austria.
Italy manager Roberto Mancini made eight changes to the side that hammered Switzerland on Wednesday, but the Azzurri looked no different in how they went about dominating the opposition.
Germany Is Too Slow, The Netherlands Is Too Fast And Other Big Takeaways From Euros Week 1
Week 1 of 4 of Euro 2020 brought plenty of goal-mouth action, but also some disappointing performances — especially from some tournament favorites.
While we're only just starting the second matchday of the group stage, it is never too early to make some broad and definitive conclusions about the action that has taken place thus far.
Here are the biggest things I noticed from the opening week of the Euros.
Biggest Takeaways From Week 1 Of Euro 2020
The pre-tourney favorites have been underwhelming — except for Italy (and maybe Belgium)
20 Years After His Record-Setting Departure, Gigi Buffon Is Back At Boyhood Club
On July 3, 2001, Gianluigi Buffon became the most expensive goalkeeper in football, moving from Parma to Juventus for a fee of around $58 million. Now, two decades and 489 Serie A appearances later, Buffon is back at the club where it all started.
Gigi Buffon officially became a Parma player again on Thursday, signing with the Serie B side on a two-year deal. "Superman" had returned.
Scared About Next Paycheck, UEFA Threatens Fines For Players Who Disrespect Sponsors
European soccer's governing body UEFA has responded to Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo's removal of a Coca-Cola bottle at a Euro 2020 news conference by telling teams they have contractual obligations towards tournament sponsors.
Ronaldo moved Coca-Cola bottles aside as he sat down to speak to the media on the eve of Tuesday’s Group F opener against Hungary in Budapest, which Portugal won 3-0.
I’m Saying It Now: Italy Are The Favorites To Win Euro 2020, Gli Azzurri Defeats Switzerland
Italy favorites to win Euro 2020? I’d argue for Gli Azzurri. Italy picked up its second victory in Group A and secured a spot in the knockout stages after comfortably defeating Switzerland 3-0.
It was an unexpected hero who bagged a brace for Italy as Manuel Locatelli got the double to secure the three points. The Sassuolo midfielder had never scored a brace for club or country before Wednesday.
UEFA Vs Conmebol: Dos Formas Diferentes De Sentir, Respirar Y Vivir El Fútbol
América y Europa, dos continentes que viven el fútbol de manera distinta. Pasión de los hinchas o el fútbol de constelaciones y estrellas. La espontaneidad o la organización desmedida. La humildad o el lujo donde sobran los millones. Improvisación o coordinación. Pasantía o tesis de doctorado. Sueño o consagración.
El Océano Atlántico separa el nuevo del viejo continente. Unos 7.000 kilómetros de distancia corroboran las diferencias políticas, económicas, culturales y sociales que existen entre ambos. El fútbol no escapa a eso.
Major International Football Returns With Italy Winning At Home In Front Of Fans
Italy, nominally, was the away team for its Euro 2020 opener on Friday. Though the match was played in Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Turkey was designated the home team. In reality, it was a home game for Azzurri, and one to celebrate as major international soccer returned after a year’s delay because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Here’s What Europeans Are Saying About Kneeling Before Matches At The Euros
Soccer's European Championship kicks off on Friday with the 24 teams' battle for glory accompanied by off-field conflict over the anti-racism gesture of "taking the knee".
England were booed by some of their fans in two friendlies while Ireland were jeered in Hungary for kneeling before kickoff in a move borrowed from American NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick and popularised by the Black Lives Matter movement.
