After 5 years, Italy beat Belgium again and advanced to the European Cup semi-finals. The Azzurri deserves all the compliments. Italian fans deserve any form of celebration. Only one thing is heartbreaking: Italy hurt a great left-back.
Spinazzola is not only the best player in the Italian team in this European Cup, but also one of the most prominent players in the entire competition. According to the data from the German transfer website, his worth has returned to 30 million euros. level. Against the backdrop of this bitter news, the wonderful victory over Belgium can only be described as a tragic victory. Overnight, Italy became a “folding angel”.
To a certain extent, Italy can suppress the powerful Belgium on the scene. Spinazzola is indispensable. It is his frequent insertion that makes the Belgian defenders exhausted and nails the Red Devils’ left offensive group. back-court. Spinazzola’s powerful assault ability made people’s worries disappear without a trace: as everyone knows, Lukaku is not a typical center forward. He often cruises on the right, or sprints or cuts inward, with great lethality. However, the excellent coordination ability of the Italian defense allowed Rome’s left wing to confidently and boldly continue to press on, completing a direct shot opportunity, and a precise pass was wasted by Immobile.
Spinazzola’s role is not only reflected in the offense, Belgium’s most threatening offense was attacked by Lukaku at the back point, and the Inter Milan striker’s close shot was turned around by Spinazzola. After completing this thrilling rescue, Bonucci and Chiellini were all excited to “beat” him, and Donnarumma even wrapped his arms and kissed him deeply. It can be said that if it weren’t for Spinazzola, the Belgian had tied the score to 2 to 2, and the outcome would be unpredictable. The great Italian left-back helped the team through the most dangerous period.
Before the injury, Spinazzola played so confidently, every counter-robbing on the left, every dribble is so resolute. Especially the breakthrough that caused his injury. At that time, the game had been 77 minutes, Spinazzola even wanted to replicate the Bell-style dribbling, hopped out and passed the ball to himself a few seconds later, only sighing. Jealous, Munich is not Spinazzola’s lucky place.
Preliminary inspection after the game, Spinazzola confirmed a rupture of the Achilles tendon and will be absent from the game for a few months. Not only did he bid farewell to the European Cup in advance, it would also affect Rome’s preparations for next season. At the moment of injury, Spinazzola actually knew his end, but he just quietly raised his right hand and made a clear gesture of substitution to the coaching bench. He might even hear a part of his body break. The voice, but like the first Greek warrior Achilles, he stood upright bravely, perhaps only a fragile heel can prevent him from flying into the sky in this European Cup.
Spinazzola sighed softly and put his hands on his waist. The Belgian player could not even bear to question him when he saw such a scene, and complained that he was procrastinating for time according to the trend of the game. It wasn’t until the team doctor came out that he fell on the lawn under the advice. From this moment on, the Italian left could no longer restrain the pain in his heart, hiding his face and sobbing, and every Italian fan in front of the camera was heartbroken.
This is not the first time Spinazzola has been seriously injured. In the 2017-2018 season, he was hit by a “career killer”-a torn cruciate ligament. In order to return to the field, Spinazzola took a lot of money. It took 152 days. Perhaps the outstanding performance of this competition made him forget his “glass” physique. In the winter window of 2020, Inter Milan once finalized the deal to exchange Politano for Spinazzola, but he was injured during the medical examination. He was turned away on the grounds of hidden illness.
Coincidentally, today is the birthday of another Roma player Zaniolo. This year, the 22-year-old Italian genius has suffered two cruciate ligament injuries. Some media questioned that the frequent serious injuries of Roma players are related to their training and medical skills. Several Roma players have been injured in this competition: Pellegrini returned to the club early without playing a game, and Florenzi, who returned to Rome on loan, only played for half of the game, and now it’s Spinazzo’s turn. Pull, I have to say it is like a curse.
However, Spinazzola and Zaniolo have one thing in common. They always like to do their best in every sprint and are keen to compete with their opponents every time. Perhaps after their comeback, appropriate changes to their playing style will be a good way to extend their career. Mourinho’s arrival was originally an opportunity. Uncle Bird had high hopes for them and was prepared to give an important position. Now he has to find a temporary replacement.
At this point in the European Cup, every team is consuming. Italy’s opponent Belgium is also suffering from injuries. Hazard from Real Madrid has a muscle strain and did not play for 1 minute tonight. The top star Deb Launet also played with an injury. Mancini wished the two Belgian cores a smooth comeback before the game, because he admired his opponent and knew that one of the important factors for reaching the end was the thickness of the lineup.
Maybe Mancini is a bit too hard with Spinazzola. Fortunately, Italy also has an excellent left-wing guard: Brazilian Emerson. Before the European Cup, Emerson was even ranked in Spina. Before Zola, if the latter hadn’t played too well, Emerson could have had more chances to play. Italian fans do not have to worry too much about the team’s strength will be too much affected, Emerson can make up for Spinazzola’s injury from the technical characteristics, perhaps the wonderful story of the great Italian left-back will continue to be staged.Return to Sohu to see more
