"Getting an early goal was
their strategy and lifting the
Euro Cup 2020 was their AMBITION;
the England team under Gareth Southgate
looked fully energized and their performance
was truly a professional EXHIBITION.
Just at 2 minutes of play on
11th July 2021, the Italian fans
at Wembley got shocked after
what they actually SAW;
a perfect elevated cross by
Kieran Trippier from right flank to
left flank and the ball went inside the
goal post due to a superb shot by Luke SHAW.
The Italians went for the counterattack
but inside the English penalty area,
they lacked COORDINATION;
so, they changed their strategy to increase
possession in forward midfield area to
have the feasible ball CHANNELIZATION.
Federico Chiesa alone kept the
English defenders under pressure
and played the role of an efficient
ball passing ORGANIZER.
At the 67th minute of the match,
Jordan Pickford was helpless as
Leonardo Bonucci was standing at a
perfect position to score the EQUALIZER.
The final match went to the penalty shootout,
where the drama started when the ball
hit the side bar post of the penalty shot
taken by Marcus RASHFORD;
Gianluigi Donnarumma had the last laugh
with some outstanding saves, though,
even after saving some shots, it was a
tough luck for Jordan PICKFORD.
For the England team,
the Euro Cup 2020
has not come to HOME;
rather the Italy team under
Roberto Mancini lifted the
Euro Cup 2020 to take it to ROME."- Arindam Sain
