2:0, Italy surpassed Hungary by one point, won the first place in the group, and successfully reached the European League semi-finals of this season; and, after winning the European Cup championship in 2021, they have another chance to win the championship of an event. Although the UEFA League's weight cannot be compared with the European Cup.
In fact, when Italy was assigned to this group, they were not favored. Although they are the new European champions, their trends have taken a sharp turn since then. First, the World Cup qualifiers were squeezed into the playoffs by Switzerland , and then the first round of the playoffs broke out, losing to North Macedonia at home, and was directly eliminated from the main match of Qatar World Cup. At that time, Italy gave people the feeling that they had run out of luck in the European Cup.
And the UEFA League in the 22nd to 23rd season, Italy's grouping was also very bad, this is a 100% death group. Indeed, most teams in the A-level group are European strong teams, so each group will not be easy, but no group has three World Cup championships like Group C. In Group A, although France is strong, fortunately, Austria is weak, and Denmark and Croatia are not traditional strong teams; in Group B, Spain and Portugal are outstanding, but Switzerland and the Czech Republic are still a little worse; in Group D, the Netherlands is the dominant one, Belgium declines seriously, while Poland and Wales can be said to be the teams with the lowest strength among A-level teams.
only has group C, Italy, England, and Germany. We need strength and heritage, and England and Germany are also favorites to win the World Cup in Qatar. The rest of Hungary has shown the combat effectiveness of being in the death group in the last European Cup. In fact, they did a good job this time. If they tied with Italy, they would be the ones who advanced.
So, this time Italy was able to win the first place in the group, which is also a sweep of the decline in recent months. Although the European League champion has no weight, given that Italy cannot play in the World Cup, this champion is also worthy of their efforts.
Moreover, it is of historical significance to Italy to obtain the top name of this group from their own perspective. Italy is actually often assigned to the death group, but almost every time their grades are not satisfactory. The last time they won the top spot in the Death Group was in the 2006 World Cup. At that time, they won the championship.
Do you still remember the group they were in at that time? The Czech Republic, the United States, and Ghana in the same group are very difficult to deal with. Although it seems that the first group of death at that time was Argentina, the Netherlands, the Seychelles, and the Ivory Coast , it turns out that that group is really boring. And the group in which Italy is located, each team still has a chance to advance until the last round. This is what the Death Group should look like. In the end, Italy was still better at it and held its first place.
Since then, Italy has been assigned to the death group many times, but never ranked first again. The most classic is in the 2008 European Cup, where they and the Netherlands, Romania, , and France formed one of the best death groups in history. Although they finally advanced, they fell to the second place in the group, and they lost to the Netherlands 0:3 in the first round. In the 2014 World Cup, Italy and England, Uruguay , Costa Rica , which is also a standard death group. It is very similar to the C group of the European League this time, and they play the gimmicks of the three World Cup champions. But at that time Italy lost to Costa Rica and Uruguay and eventually missed the promotion.
It can be said that it is very difficult for European Union Italy to win the first place in this group this time. First of all, in terms of strength, Germany should be the strongest. Even in England, its current strength is not inferior to Italy. But Germany lost too many points on Hungary, while England was just making a fuss.In contrast, Italy is the team with the most stable performance. In addition to the 2:5 loss to Germany by examining the rookie, they basically performed at a normal level and basically got all the points they deserved.
htmlIn the 106 World Cup, Italy won the top spot in the Death Group and finally won the championship; then this time, they won the top spot in the Death Group again, will they finally win? Let's wait and see.
