Netherlands martyred in Italy

Italy, world champion, took first revolcón this Euro (3-0), a goal from unforeseeable consequences at the hands of an impeccable in the Netherlands and brutal forms in the definition. The Italians, now last in Group C, have already exhausted the quota of failures and require the maximum demand in the next two games.

Met expectations the most anticipated duel at the three-day tournament. Two different conceptions, fantasy orange in front of the Italian character. It released the knot claramante for the best possible Netherlands, without halftone, authoritarian and resources when the rival turned to Del Piero and Cassano to look for the tie.

Italy was inferior in almost everything, is already said, and only for a few minutes into the second half, had a slight air to the team champion, 2006. Not clear what he saw on an equal footing and became evident after the controversial goal from Van Nistelrooy, in clear offside, unless it is futile to argue that the body of Panucci, thrown across the baseline, could enable it .

From that 1-0, Netherlands def confidence and started to play as everyone expected of them. With recital of Sneijder and Van der Vaart, full of dynamism to take advantage of the spaces between the lines. Everyone knows move the ball on this team, but they both have something else: abstract thinking for the last pass, creativity in both boots, intelligence to occupy the sites where they are not expected.

During half an hour what happened fatal victim of that round and exposed to the opponent's speed. He also missed fortune in the play of 2-0, born with a low clearance sticks Gio, not happy with its success, shot toward left field rival. Kuyt went down with his head and Sneijder, again from second line, left badly stress to Buffon.
