"In the 40th minute, the Swedish team finally broke through the Italian team's goal!"

"That was a goal that the Swedish team deserved. They exerted huge pressure on Italy throughout the half and launched a wave of attacks, but they never scored."

"Ruming, Ibrahimovic, finally opened the scoring for the Swedish team with a wonderful goal, and also scored his third goal in this European Cup!"

"That's a beautiful scorpion tail! Very few players can make that move when shooting, but it is not uncommon for Ibrahimovic."

"The fact is that as early as the 2004 European Cup, he had performed such a trick. The wrong leg at that time was not the Italian team, and the Italian goalkeeper was not the same as Buffon!"

"It's so wonderful, a very wonderful goal. Forgive him for repeating those words, but that would not be true!"

When the camera focused on Ibrahimovic again, the Swedish super forward was already standing on the sidelines, raising his arms high and assuming a posture and expression unique to Ibrahimovic.

Would he use that domineering attitude to accept the cheers and applause from the Swedish fans in the stands, and accept their praise and worship!

"Ibrahimovic's goal was wonderful, and his cooperation before scoring that goal was also commendable."

"Isak's push from the left, Ibrahimovic's feint and interlude in the middle, and Forsberg's last pass, and of course Ibrahimovic's shot... all seemed natural and completed in one go!"

"Although they all rely on Ibrahimovic to score goals, Pan Yi's Swedish team is obviously different from his predecessor Hamren who would mindlessly send forward to find Ibrahimovic."

"The Swedish team's three-point arrow is even more difficult to defend! In such an offensive system, if the Italians defend Ibrahimovic, they will also suffer, because Isak also has a strong ability to shoot outside."

"What is a world-famous coach?" The on-site commentator was obviously very excited after Ibrahimovic scored. I don't know if he was a fan of Pan Yi or the Swedish team. "Then he is a world-famous coach!"

Pan Yi, who was praised by the commentator, was certainly very excited at this time.

Because he knew very well that if he scored a goal, the Swedish team would have the upper hand in the game, and he would be more confident in the game next time.

In such a crucial group match, one goal can completely change the situation of the entire game, so whether Ibrahimovic's goal can be said to be crucial.

In that game, the performance of the Swedish central axis that Pan Yi relied on did not disappoint him.

Lindelof withstood the impact of the Italian artillery and successfully froze the wrong side's top scorer;

Forsberg runs nimbly, and his first pass in the frontcourt can often tear open the wrong side's defense;

Can Ibrahimovic seize the opportunity and give the Italians the most fatal blow in the most unexpected way?

That goal made the Swedish team's qualifying situation very clear, and it can also be said that it gave the Swedish team hope of qualifying early!——

It can be said that since the group of players who won the World Cup in Italy in 2006 have gradually aged, Italy has at least stopped producing stars.

Del Piero, Pirlo, Cannavaro, Nesta, Gattuso, Zambrotta, Totti...

Which of those former stars is not ranked among the best in world football?

But now, the main players in the Italian team are Parolo, Giaccherini, Florenzi, Eder...

Even without Pelle, he is obviously not the world's top star, nor does he have the ability to hold up the banner of Italy's striker.

That also makes people miss the Italian team that once had talented forwards such as Baggio, Vieri, Inzaghi, Totti, and Del Piero.

I can even miss Balotelli during the European Cup!

The lack of outstanding forwards has also prevented Italy from building a complete offensive system for a long time.

Without the forward, without the sharp knife at the front, the system would be impossible to talk about!

It is very likely that the overall strength of the team will be affected, because it is not just the forwards who are blocked.

Even if Italy is in the European Cup, Italy has Gattuso, Pirlo and other famous players guarding it, but Italy has a midfield composed of Parolo, De Rossi and Giaccherini. Let’s not talk about strength.

With their reputations, you can tell how good those players are in combat.

So in that game, the Swedish team's tactics were really simple. After pinching the Italian midfielder and completely suppressing my midfielder, how could I advance the ball?

Plan the attack with long passes from the wing-backs or centre-backs, bypassing the midfield as much as possible.

Such a style of play is really not very effective for a team like Sweden, which has excellent frontal defense capabilities, especially if the situation is contained and immediately appears to be very passive.

Conte was not aware of the situation at halftime.

However, the connection between Italy's backcourt and frontcourt was cut off by the Swedes again and again, and Italy's entire tactical layout was cut into several pieces. Pellet could not fight alone in the front.

One moment he wants to be the organizer, the next moment he wants to rush to the front and be the finisher, how can that be done?

Let alone Pellet, even if Ibrahimovic is brought over, it will be difficult to cover everything.

What's more, Pan Yi, who was on the wrong side, really understood the characteristics of the Italian players very clearly, and Pelle's defense was also very effective, which would make Italy's striker completely useless.

During the halftime break, Conte decided to make some adjustments.

He asked the left wing back Candreva and midfielder Parolo to move closer to Pellet, allowing them to move forward more actively to help Pellet.

In this way, small-scale cooperation can be used to circumvent Pellet's shortcomings in individual combat, and it can also allow Pellet to launch attacks from the front with more confidence.

As for Pellet personally, Conte failed to ask him to "shoot when he has the chance" and not to fall into the Swedish team's defensive trap again, thus losing the hard-earned offensive opportunity.

However, at the beginning of the eastern half, Italy, which was at a disadvantage, immediately launched a round of attacks.

That time, Pellet, who was a powerful offensive point, got a chance to get the ball in the 46th minute. When he faced Lindelof again in the middle, he didn't give his wrong leg any time to think, and just swung it.

One kick, shot!

Pellet gave Lindelof less time and less time for himself.

As a result, the shot was not powerful and the angle was correct, but it did allow Isaacson to stretch his legs and gain one more successful save.

"Now that Italy's offensive and morale are getting better, we must push him eastward!"

Pan Yi on the sidelines also realized the problem.

If Italy is allowed to continue to attack like that, the rhythm and situation of the game will gradually be dragged away by them, which will be very disadvantageous for the Swedish team, so the best way is to nip that threat in the bud.

"Press the midfielder a little tighter and let Italy take more of Giaccherini's side!" Pan Yi immediately made adjustments.

The career of Giaccherini is very inspiring. In just 3 years, this grassroots player achieved a magical triple jump, from Serie B to Serie A, and then from underdog Cesena to join the local giant Juventus.

Although he is not a perfect main force, the short-footed tiger still relies on his diligent running and versatile legs in the frontcourt to become an indispensable attacking player for the Bianconeri.

The man who coached Juventus at the time was Conte, the current head coach of the Italian national team.

Conte once said to Giaccherini, "Just ask him to coach at Juventus and I will not leave." This shows that he misplaced Giaccherini's trust.

It is precisely because of this that the not-so-well-known player currently playing for Bologna plays the main role in that Italian team.

But no, Giaccherini, who is 167 cm tall and weighs 67 kg, is at a disadvantage compared to those strong men in Sweden.

Moreover, his technical level has not reached the level of Pirlo before, or has the superb dribbling skills like Messi, who is about the same size as him.

Therefore, Pan Yi decided to lure Italy's ball rights to Giaccherini and then focus on grabbing him.

How to seduce him? Just use the method of blocking one side that Pan Yi often used when he was in the club.

For example, when De Rossi gets the ball, the Swedish players will focus on cutting off the connection between him and Parolo on the other side, forcing De Rossi to pass to Giaccherini, and then surround him.

Pan Yi's adjustments quickly yielded results.

The Swedish team quickly suppressed Italy again, especially in the midfield, completely suppressing the momentum of Italy's three midfielders, making Italy's striker once again become helpless in the front.

In the 70th minute, Ekdal successfully stole the ball from Giaccherini's feet and then passed it to Forsberg, starting Italy's quick counterattack.

After Forsberg quickly advanced with the ball, Fou moved to the right and handed it to Guidetti.

At that time, Florenzi made an assist and failed to come back. Chiellini had to make up for it, but Guidetti dribbled the ball to the center and then passed the ball to the high point of the penalty area with his right foot.

Ibrahimovic and Bonucci seized the position, and when the shooting space was blocked by the wrong side, Dong chose to header the ball to the back point.

Isaac inserted into the penalty area from the left, and with no one to defend him, Ibrahimovic's pass was firmly shot, and the ball was once again sent into the goal guarded by Buffon, 2:0!

After scoring the goal, the Swedish youngster excitedly turned around and rushed out of the penalty area. He rushed to the sidelines and jumped up high, waving his legs in fists.

That was his first goal in this European Cup, and it was also his first official goal on behalf of the Swedish national team! And that was only his second official international match on behalf of the Swedish team.

And Isaac's goal can almost be said to have set the situation in advance.

After that goal, the Swedish team took the lead in making adjustments.

Goal scorers Ibrahimovic and Isaac, including Forsberg, were all replaced by East, while Marcus Berry, Kulusevski and Kjellström were replaced.

This is not Pan Yi's message: the victory has been decided, I have stopped!

Based on the principle that all useful players want to save themselves from death, it's almost time to go east and rest.

After the substitutions, Sweden's formation also changed, leaving Marcus Berry alone in the front to fight back, while the others slowed down the pace and focused on defense.

Isn't this exactly the same as the initial stage of playing against Ireland?

And there was nothing Conte could do against the Swedish team like that. In the first 20 minutes, he couldn't create any decent opportunities at all.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Pan Yi raised his clenched fists high, as if he was telling the whole world that he was back as the king!

The Swedish team qualified from the group of death one round ahead of schedule!
Chapter completed!
