South America-European Champions Cup South American champions Argentina beat European champions Italy 3-0

" Italy VS Argentina " friendly battle is not friendly at all

In order to commemorate the legendary Argentine star Maradona, in July last year, FIFA and FIFA jointly negotiated a friendly match between Italy, which won the 2020 UEFA Euro Cup, and Argentina , who won the 2021 South American Cup. It was a well-meaning friendly match between Maradona 's country Argentina and Maradona's Serie A country, Italy, at its peak.

However, since Italy succeeded in revenge by Spain in the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League, they had to participate in the play-offs after falling behind in the World Cup qualifying match. Unfortunately, they lost to North Macedonia in the play-offs and missed the 2022 World Cup. Italy at the time desperately needed a "great international victory" to save its honor.

On the other hand, Argentina, the champion of South America, is sitting on the current legendary star Messi , but has been criticized for a long time in the championship drought. Finally won an international championship in the 2021 South American Cup, and this 2022 World Football Team, Argentina has more young main players to join, and has a better niche for the impact of the Golden Cup.

We knew it was going to be a great game and a title Great environment. It was a beautiful final, full of Argentines. Everything we've experienced here has been beautiful."

Argentina has emerged as one of the main contenders for the 2022 World Cup title, and beating Italy is another statement of intent for Argentina , who are now unbeaten in 32 matches.

If Messi can play at this level at the Qatar World Cup, the Messi-led Argentina will be a force to be reckoned with as they chase their first World Cup title since 1986.

"After the Copa America, everything changed. Now we're enjoying ourselves and things are easier. We're excited but have to keep our feet on the ground," Di Maria said.

For Italy , the 2020 European Cup also shattered England's dream of winning the championship at Wembley Stadium. With Donnarumma blocking England's shot in the penalty shootout, Italy has reached its peak in recent years. From the 2018 World Cup, Italy was in the best state after being eliminated from the qualifying round and missed the World Cup. After winning the European Cup, Italy was first defeated by Spain in the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League. Italy fell behind in the 2022 World Cup qualifying round to play in the play-offs, but lost to North Macedonia in a shock and faced the dilemma of failing to qualify for the World Cup again.

The key to Italy's loss

In this case against Argentina, the ball possession rate in the entire match was around 44%, but the number of shots on goal was less than half of Argentina’s, indicating that during the effective possession period, Italy did not effectively conduct offense; in addition, only 3 shots were taken in 7 shots. Shots on target (43%), also means that the Italian has more shots on target than Argentina with 17 shots and 10 shots on target (59%).

There are many reasons for being oppressed, but the main reason for the wide range is definitely the inability of Italy to use conduction and effective offensive strategies to tear apart the hostile defense. The number of shots on goal is lower than that of the opponent due to the inability to attack effectively to obtain shooting opportunities, and the opportunity to shoot due to the inability to effectively tear the opponent is oppressed. These two reasons are definitely that although Italy has won 37 unbeaten games, most of them have not been good. The focus of offensive performance.
