Le #partite più incredibili, i risultati più inattesi, i successi più improbabili. In una parola: le sorprese. In questa puntata vengono raccontate alcune tra le pagine più belle della #storia del #calcio #europeo, come la cavalcata della Danimarca verso la vittoria nel 1992 e quella della Grecia nel 2004, raccontata dalle voci dei protagonisti Henrik Larsen, Kim Vilfort e Traianos Dellas. Non mancano, poi, le sorprese legate all'Italia. Come la partita Italia-Inghilterra dell'Europeo 1980 raccontata da Giancarlo Antognoni, Antonio Cabrini, Marco Tardelli, Dino Zoff, Francesco Graziani e Peter Shilton, ma soprattutto la partita contro la Germania nel 2012.

00:00Thank you all.
00:32Football is divided between scientists and fatalists.
00:36For scientists, there is no such thing as a random outcome; everything, even what seems most fortuitous, has an explanation.
00:45A pattern, a workout, a movement.
00:48For fatalists, however, football is the realm of chance.
00:52A clod that changes the course of a match, the wind that favors one team or the other and
00:59then the ball is round.
01:01And whatever you think about it, at a certain point in football the surprise arrives.
01:14When this happens, we all stand still for a moment, trying to understand.
01:19Sometimes that amazement can make us smile, other times it turns into regret.
01:25Because the surprise can be very bitter.
01:36June 2004.
01:38The European Championships are taking place in Portugal.
01:41And as things have gone up to that point, in Italy there is nothing else to talk about but the
01:46cookie theory.
01:48That is, the fear that two teams will agree to take us out.
01:53To hope to qualify for the quarter-finals we have to win our match.
01:59But that's not enough.
02:00We have to hope that Sweden and Denmark don't draw 2-2 at the same time.
02:07Conspiracy theorists say that we see in others what we would do if we were in their shoes.
02:13It's still a fascinating debate, though.
02:16Until match day.
02:18Until the ninetieth minute.
02:24Ghimaraesha, June 22, 2004.
02:27Last match of the group.
02:29Italy-Bulgaria.
02:30The Azzurri take to the field for a match that will not be just a match.
02:35In or out.
02:39It is the night of truth for Italy, which must win.
02:45Rains.
02:47The weather is threatening.
02:48It seems to herald a dark omen.
02:51There is suffering.
02:54We got into this situation because of spit and a scorpion.
03:01The first match against Denmark is the scene of Francesco Totti's ugly gesture.
03:11Totti's gesture, which was not very sporting, was when he then spat at Polsen.
03:18Everything that Polsen had done throughout the match led us to think that he was there
03:28also to provoke Francis.
03:34A gesture that cost Italy a 0-0 draw and all three matches of suspension.
03:45Four days later against Sweden it was a scorpion strike that put us in the loop.
03:4939 minutes.
03:51His left.
03:53Very wide.
03:55Halberg.
03:57Duel at the edge of the small air.
03:59dance.
04:00And then the ball ends up inside.
04:06That gesture, more from a martial arts expert than a footballer, is a blow to the heart of Italy.
04:13Amazing goal because we all remember the backheel in the penalty area after Buffon had come out.
04:19The ball just ended up, just under the crossbar.
04:23With Vieri unable to get a millimetre of the ball.
04:31And there was this draw that left a bit of bitterness.
04:42Two draws and only one goal.
04:44This is Italy's paltry haul when it comes to the decisive match against Bulgaria.
04:52The faces of the Azzurri are drawn.
04:55Mameli's anthem serves to give oneself courage.
05:02When you only have one useful result, it's clear that the pressure increases.
05:07But this time it doesn't just depend on us.
05:11It's time for Italy-Bulgaria.
05:15Obviously, keep an eye on what happens in Porto between Denmark and Sweden.
05:20In fact, for the Azzurri, winning is not enough to advance to the next round.
05:24They have to hope that Denmark and Sweden do not draw 2-2 in the match being played in Porto.
05:31In that case the two Scandinavian teams would advance to the next round and we would be eliminated.
05:36Fears that the Swedes and Danes will reach an agreement are spreading throughout the country.
05:42And the cookie syndrome.
05:46Those who thought about the biscuit and those who thought that Scandinavian countries are light years away from this way of life
05:54think.
05:56But in the meantime the atmosphere has become poisoned.
06:00What was perhaps most annoying were also the statements of the coach Olsen who said
06:05the thief always thinks that others are stealing a statement that is not nice, disrespectful towards Italy
06:13because in the end it was addressed to Italy.
06:17In short, one thing is certain: Italy must win.
06:23Cassano aims at Stojanov, Cassano's feints.
06:26Cross with the right, good!
06:28And there's Stravga's save, then Del Piero!
06:31Del Piero out!
06:35Time passes.
06:39Meanwhile, in Porto, Denmark and Sweden are still tied at 0-0.
06:45When things go badly for us.
06:49Berbatov and there is a penalty for Bulgaria.
06:52Ivanov punished Materazzi for the challenge on Berbatov.
07:00And there is the transformation by Jankovic.
07:05Now the situation is really difficult.
07:09We are out of the European Championship.
07:12And there's really not much left.
07:15The first half ends here and ends with Italy trailing.
07:20The atmosphere in the locker rooms is tense.
07:23It's hard not to think about the specter of the biscuit between Sweden and Denmark.
07:28The manager was very annoyed.
07:30He took the floor and said
07:31you absolutely must not think about what they do over there
07:34because we risk losing the game.
07:38Back on the pitch, Trapattoni's words seem to work.
07:42We entered the field with a different mentality,
07:45with a different intensity of play, with a different spirit.
07:49Not even two minutes passed before Zambrotta came to the fore.
07:54Zambrotta, Cassano, crossbar!
07:57He hits the crossbar.
07:59Del Piero tries to hinder in some way
08:01or at least try to get to the ball.
08:04It arrives on route.
08:06I don't know why I decided to stay in the penalty area on that occasion.
08:10Maybe because we had nothing to lose.
08:13because with a 1-0 we would have gone out anyway.
08:17The ball is in the net on course!
08:20Italy is still alive.
08:22Italy 1, Bulgaria 1.
08:24But what's happening in the meantime in Porto between Sweden and Denmark?
08:28The news coming from the other game was encouraging.
08:33because Denmark had scored.
08:35Denmark take the lead through Tomasson.
08:39Then Sweden equalized.
08:41A penalty for Sweden.
08:44It was Larsson's goal.
08:46Tomasson had given the 2-1 back.
08:53And we would have qualified anyway.
08:58The Azzurri believe in it.
09:02They want to win to make sure they advance to the next round.
09:08We are getting closer to the end.
09:10When, in the 93rd minute...
09:14Cassano, dance inside!
09:18An action from Oddo on the right that almost reached the bottom.
09:25I remember a veil from Pirlo.
09:28And there is the veil for Cassano who with a beautiful turn put it under the 7.
09:36Judging by Antonio Cassano's run, it looks like Italy has qualified.
09:41He celebrates so much, turns towards the bench, sees that no one from the bench is there to celebrate with him.
09:48He asks for the results of Sweden and Denmark and everyone says two to two.
09:57And there are those who try to console him, but he's a raging river, isn't he?
10:04Cassano is crying because Sweden equalized on the other side.
10:12Two by two.
10:14That almost impossible result has been achieved.
10:20The surprise is very bitter.
10:22So, was there or wasn't there the famous biscuit?
10:26We will never know.
10:28It was a surreal thing, because you absolutely don't expect a thousand results,
10:34a single result, two to two.
10:43So it's also a difficult result to achieve.
10:48Let's hear what one of the protagonists of that match has to say.
10:52The Dane Martin Jorgensen.
10:54It's all newspaper talk.
10:58Italy went home.
11:00The match ended in a way that I shouldn't have ended for Italy.
11:04If you watch the match, I don't think you can do anything.
11:09But in the end, you will always have that flea, that worm in your head.
11:21Schmeichel, Jensen, Andersen, Nilsen, Laudrup, Olsen, Polsen.
11:27Many of you won't mention these names much, but they are the most important players in Denmark's 1992 squad.
11:36They arrive in Europe and Sweden only because at the last minute Yugoslavia, ravaged by bombs and war, is
11:42was officially eliminated.
11:44Well, the Danes won't miss this opportunity to be remembered.
11:49After a difficult preliminary round, overcome in the last minute only in the last match against France,
11:55Denmark, from the ugly duckling of the tournament, decides to transform itself into a beautiful food.
12:03In their path are now the tulips of Holland.
12:07Good tross and Denmark takes the lead.
12:20A very close semi-final, the outcome of which will be decided from 11 metres.
12:34And Denmark is in the final of the European Championship.
12:41And so, after overcoming the penalties, the army of the reigning champions, the Holland of Gullit and Van Basten,
12:48Denmark takes on world champions Germany in the final.
13:03First Jakob Jensen, an obscure member of the Danish midfield.
13:08Ball out, shot, Jensen's goal!
13:11Denmark takes the lead with Jensen!
13:15And then the captain, Kim Bilford.
13:19Bilford at the edge, shot, ball, goal!
13:27They are the architects of the miracle.
13:30Bilford, 2-0 for Denmark, incredible!
13:45From now on, when you are asked who are Bilford, Schmeichel, Jensen, Andersen, Nilsen, Laudrup, Olsen, Polsen, you can answer that
13:56they are heroes.
14:01And Denmark's will remain an example for all the teams branded as Cinderellas at the start of a European Championship.
14:12When Greece qualified for the 2004 European Championship, it had been 24 years since they had participated in a
14:18continental competition.
14:20But this time too it's as if it didn't exist.
14:23The team is seen as the classic mattress team, on which opponents can sleep soundly.
14:30Footballers are practically treated like extras.
14:34Newspapers across Europe snub them.
14:37Even the Greek media pays little attention to them, calling them the national team of workers.
14:42But we know that when workers work together as a team they achieve far-reaching goals.
14:54Summer 2004
14:57In Greece, everyone is waiting for the Olympics to return home after 108 years.
15:06There are only 23 Greek boys who, together with their German leader, leave for Portugal.
15:14European football destination.
15:22Nobody cares about them.
15:24But many people miss one detail.
15:27They are children of the land of myth.
15:30Where legends have taken shape since ancient times.
15:37June 12, 2004
15:40Portugal vs Greece.
15:42The favorites against the surprise.
15:44The twelfth day is about to begin.
15:47The first edition of the European Football Championship.
15:50The outsiders are led by the Colossus of Rhodes.
15:54Roma defender Traiano Sedellas.
15:59Nobody was betting but I found a person in Italy who told me that he bet on us to win
16:06the championship.
16:07He was Francesco Totti's brother.
16:16But just a few minutes into the European Championship, that gamble no longer seems so crazy and risky.
16:30Greece surprisingly took the lead away to Portugal.
16:43For Portuguese champions Luis Figo, Rui Costa and Cristiano Ronaldo, it seems to be just a bad dream.
16:55I saw that they were scared and I told the boys, guys let's go, we can, I'm scared.
17:03these.
17:05And in the sixth minute of the second half...
17:07There is a penalty for the challenge on Sei Tarridis.
17:13Taristeas who gave the ball to Sei Tarridis, he entered.
17:19And he saw Cristiano Ronaldo coming at speed from behind.
17:27He took the penalty.
17:33It's the sixth minute, just like the sixth minute of the first half.
17:39Babasinas, uncatchable!
17:48For us, the 2-0 was a miracle that we performed in the first match.
18:03It's over!
18:05It's over.
18:06But this is just the beginning.
18:09The football odyssey of Traiano Sedellas and his teammates continues.
18:15Against Spain.
18:18And then against Russia.
18:23I'm thinking what goal was more important than this European Championship.
18:27And I still haven't found it.
18:29Because every goal meant something.
18:31Vriesa's goal secured qualification for the next matchday.
18:39It seems like a dream for the 23-man national team and its fans.
18:45And that dream doesn't end, not even in the quarter-finals against France.
18:52Attention!
18:53The ball is passed to number 7.
18:55The cross, the header, the goal!
18:57Goal for Greece with Caristeas!
19:001-0 in the twentieth!
19:04The defense sealed by Dellas has become impenetrable.
19:08The French giant was defeated by the brave Greeks, who are now in the semi-finals.
19:15Gentlemen, hats off to the team, coached by Otto Rehagel.
19:19Rehagel was a German who was practically, the culture was different from ours, who are more Mediterranean, Italian, Greek.
19:29But he too, in that period, became another Greek.
19:43July 1, 2004
19:47Semifinal
19:49Greece vs. Czech Republic
19:51I want my players to take the field with the spirit of the heroes of ancient Greece.
19:56This is how coach Otto Rehagel, the Ulysses of this mythological adventure, encourages his team.
20:04I remember that before the match he also gave me a name, the Colossus of Rhodes.
20:17However, the Czechs have the golden ball winner Pavel Nedved on their side.
20:26But Il Fatto has another favor in store for the Greeks.
20:34It must be something serious.
20:38Pavel Nedved out of this semi-final.
20:42We saw it as help from God, who was outside, because with him inside the problem would have been much bigger.
20:52big.
20:56For the rest of the match the Greeks remained barricaded.
21:02Dellas protects the goal as if it were a precious treasure chest and the Czechs without Nedved cannot overcome his
21:09defensive wall.
21:13The whistle blows for Collina, 0-0 after 93 minutes with two added minutes.
21:20Extra time.
21:23The minutes pass dramatically.
21:26Tension loads.
21:28It's just a few moments away when Greece wins a corner.
21:32I thought, oh God, if we can score a goal now, we can do it and finish the game here.
21:3815 seconds left in the first overtime period.
21:43A beautiful cross.
21:45And the ball is in the net!
21:47The ball in the net!
21:48Greece against Janos!
21:51Dellas goes on to conquer the final!
21:57I think I did the biggest sprint I've done in my life.
22:04It's the first time Dellas has scored for his national team, right at the most important moment of his career.
22:12It's over! It's over! There's no time to even start over!
22:16Greece is in the final!
22:19I think the joy that I gave at that moment to all of Greece, to all the Greeks, was
22:26huge.
22:28The Colossus of Rhodes takes his entire team to Olympus.
22:36At the Dalus stadium, where they meet Portugal again.
22:41Again against the favorites.
22:49But now, fate has upset all hierarchies.
22:54Twelfth minute of the second half.
22:57Another football year.
23:01The bow is drawn.
23:05Karisteas shoots his arrow.
23:09And there's the goal! The goal with Karisteas!
23:18Happiness is uncontainable.
23:20And that goal will be enough to achieve glory.
23:26Merck blows the final whistle.
23:32We weren't so used to celebrating, like Greece, as a national team.
23:41The long journey of these 23 little great heroes, incited, encouraged and protected by the colossus of Rhodes, Traiano Sedellas, is
23:51come to an end.
23:52It is the apotheosis of Greece, champion of Europe.
23:58It is said that whoever raises that cup to the sky becomes light.
24:14In the year of the Athens Olympics, even before the games, Greece comes to the attention of the world and beyond
24:22sporty.
24:29It's very important that you do your job, play football, and make so many people happy.
24:39It's a gift from God, truly.
24:46In 1980, Italy had to host the European Championship at home at the lowest point in its history.
24:54The championship was disrupted by the entrance of Carabinieri vans onto the pitch and into the locker rooms.
25:01Hello, Galeazzi?
25:03Dear Paolo, look, the locker rooms at the Olimpico are closed here, they're not letting journalists in, obviously something's happened.
25:12March 23, 1980.
25:15Police raid Serie A pitches.
25:20It's the beginning of an earthquake for Italian football.
25:23The football betting scandal.
25:28A story that involves important players and clubs and profoundly shakes public opinion.
25:35The black lottery has made us the shame of Europe.
25:39There seems to be a strange desire creeping in for the national team to leave immediately.
25:44Italy and England are an opportunity to punish ourselves.
25:47Everything seems ready to close this ugly chapter and turn the page.
25:53The Azzurri's debut against Spain at San Siro was greeted coldly by the fans.
26:00And the match ends 0-0.
26:03No, there was no pressure, there was much more.
26:08The only thing I remember about these Europeans is the tension that was there, but in all of us,
26:15precisely because you were going to risk your reputation.
26:22The second match against England is scheduled in Turin on June 15.
26:29The stadium is full this time, but are the people there to cheer them on or to insult them?
26:37In place of the young Rossi and Giordano, emerging strikers of Italian football involved in the black sweepstakes,
26:43in the blue attack there are the more experienced Bettega and Graziani.
26:46But they know how to fight the English, they've done it once before and now they're doing it again.
26:55We thought, we believed, at that moment, maybe Besson had been good, that we were stronger.
27:02And we wanted to win that match ourselves and therefore we wanted to be protagonists.
27:08Our team went into the match knowing that it would be difficult to play against Italy at their home ground.
27:15After just one minute, Italy already had a good chance.
27:20It falls on Bettega's head, as usual.
27:25Always in my head, but I say, but I didn't play with my feet, I didn't play, I only used them for running.
27:39Italy attacked throughout the first half, without success.
27:48Then, in the forty-first minute, the ball flows from Scirea, to Antonioni, to Oriali.
27:59Again to Antonioni.
28:04Who puts a ball in the air that just needs to be pushed into the net.
28:11Nothing to be done.
28:13This time Bettega and Graziani remain dry.
28:16And the first half ends.
28:18The score is 0-0.
28:20Returning to the locker rooms,
28:22Lear Zotten said, boys, if we don't find our composure,
28:24if you are so nervous on the pitch,
28:26we risk not winning this match.
28:28You need to be calmer, more serene.
28:30We were tense because we couldn't afford to lose.
28:34And so it was in England, we would say,
28:37play cat and mouse.
28:44And it's Italy again, at the beginning of the second half,
28:47to scratch the English.
28:51But soon the roles are reversed.
28:53The English are becoming threatening.
28:56And they start to show their teeth, their fists
28:59and all the accessories of their physical game.
29:02He was waging war, so to speak, physically.
29:08They never backed down.
29:11But they didn't understand Italian,
29:13with these characteristics of the opposing teams,
29:17he was going to the wedding.
29:21Sometimes in football, nothing or nothing is enough to change things.
29:24There's a spark that makes something go off.
29:29Italy must shake itself.
29:32And it is Giancarlo Antonioni who lights the spark Tardelli called for.
29:36It's a great collective effort on our part.
29:41I have a dribble and I reserve Graziani on the left flank.
29:47Antonioni skips Concel very well.
29:50It opens on Graziani.
29:52I messed up the ball, then I dribbled past an English player on the left.
29:58Graziani resists Neil Graziani's charge.
30:02He goes over the full-back,
30:04but why does the full-back choose the wrong time?
30:08I entered the air, I saw Marco arriving.
30:11I served it impeccably.
30:18It was a difficult ball for a goalkeeper.
30:22You have to go out, but you're not sure you'll make it in time.
30:26I insert myself in the middle of the air.
30:29Graziani.
30:31Cross, goal!
30:32Goal by Tardelli.
30:36Wonderful goal by Tardelli.
30:41Beautiful, yes.
30:42Beautiful goals, especially for the intuitive ability to know where the ball was going.
30:49Graziani's cross was deflected by Tardelli.
30:55He managed to get there a hair's breadth before me.
31:06As usual, I did a bit of madness when I score goals, but it's nice.
31:13That scream seems like the dress rehearsal for the much more important one that Tardelli will sing two years later in Madrid.
31:21When I was scoring goals both for my national team and for my teams, I always had a great need to explode.
31:28And I did it, because it was my joy.
31:30If it was nothing to keep it inside.
31:33Meanwhile, Italy is enjoying this joy.
31:37A joy that tries to drown out the police sirens.
31:42The accusations of the trial, the uproar of the football betting scandal.
31:47Here is the end.
31:49Italy beats England again.
31:52For one night, the national team manages to get fans passionate about football again.
32:00European Championships 2012.
32:02These are difficult months in the relationship between Italy and Germany.
32:06Off the football pitch, the Germans are giving us a resounding lesson with the spread.
32:11And now they find themselves against us in the semi-final of the European Championship.
32:16After beating them in the 1982 World Cup final and the 2006 semi-final,
32:22we are undeniably their bête noire.
32:25And before the match the German newspaper Bill headlined
32:28Italy, now let's do the math.
32:32A phrase that has many meanings, because that same day,
32:36by a curious twist of fate,
32:38a political meeting between Italy and Germany is also planned.
33:01June 28, 2012.
33:03This is the day of the double clash.
33:09In Brussels, at a very delicate European summit,
33:12Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti
33:15confronts German Chancellor Angela Merkel
33:17on the anti-spread shield and the Tobin Tax.
33:23Germany is very strong,
33:25a Germany perhaps stronger than us.
33:29But we are not better, but we can win against the best.
33:35The Germans are the best, their attack is formidable.
33:41Mario Gomez in particular is in a state of grace.
33:46In the preliminary round he defeated with his goals
33:48Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal.
33:53and Arian Robben's Holland.
34:01They had done Germany like after Spain,
34:05the strongest in Europe.
34:07History says that Germany occasionally bounces off us.
34:12And to bounce them off us,
34:15Cesare Prandelli studied for a long time.
34:18We prepared well for that match.
34:21Maybe the best match ever.
34:23We have understood in every detail
34:26where we could win duels,
34:31where we could have numerical superiority.
34:39The blue who can turn the tables on the game
34:42it's Mario Balotelli.
34:44Mario Balotelli's goal.
34:47The first goal has arrived.
34:49The keys to the attack are in his hands.
34:52Rather, between the feet of this young man
34:54who has limitless talent
34:55and it seems carved in vegan.
34:59For the first time a black athlete
35:01He is the single man of our national team.
35:08So far, however,
35:10Balotelli's European Championship
35:11It was confusing and disappointing.
35:14Is it possible that no one called him?
35:16the opponent behind.
35:26In the decisive match for qualification,
35:29the one against Ireland,
35:30Balotelli even ends up on the bench.
35:33He is wounded in his pride
35:35and fears that his European
35:37may have already ended up there.
35:41And instead, when Brandelli puts him on the field,
35:44shows on Eurovision what he is capable of.
35:47Chorus inside!
35:51Choir!
35:52Waiting for her
35:57more Teutonic than ever
35:59Germany.
36:028.45pm, Warsaw Stadium.
36:05It goes on stage in yet another chapter
36:07of the infinite rivalry
36:09between Italy and Germany.
36:13This time,
36:14Mario Balotelli is on the pitch
36:15from the first minute.
36:18His mother is in the stands,
36:19Silvia,
36:20arrived from Brescia
36:21together with the whole family.
36:26But among the Italian ranks
36:27there is a player with a divided heart.
36:29He has an Italian father
36:31and the German mother.
36:32It's Riccardo Montolivo.
36:35In my family
36:37there was a sort of derby going on
36:39because clearly
36:39my mom
36:41he always supports Germany
36:43and my father
36:44he always supports Italy.
36:45Clearly,
36:45when I was on the pitch
36:47me in that game
36:48my mom
36:49he cheered for his son
36:51as I think normal it is.
36:57The Germans,
36:58incited by the choirs
36:59of the fans
37:00in the stands,
37:01they are thrown away immediately
37:02to the assault
37:02of the Italian penalty area.
37:04Come on!
37:05His left foot is strong!
37:07Good strong with your fists!
37:08Prandelli's boys
37:09they find themselves catapulted backwards.
37:13And in the sixth minute...
37:16Ballon in the middle!
37:17Hummels' touch
37:18It seems destined for the web,
37:20but...
37:21like in the most beautiful dreams
37:23for a goalkeeper
37:24you realize that
37:26on that trajectory
37:28there is a companion of yours
37:29that saves you
37:31and save the team
37:33from a disadvantage.
37:35Ballon in the middle!
37:36And then he touches it
37:37Pirlo himself is right on the line!
37:40Pirlo appears
37:41on the goal line
37:42like a lighthouse
37:43in the niche.
37:46Pirlo succeeded
37:47somehow
37:47to stop,
37:48almost to stop
37:49the ball.
37:51in another part
37:55that has been achieved
37:57He failed to do
37:58In the first few minutes
37:58they were good
37:59because they have
38:00they used something more,
38:03they risked something more
38:04and we also had
38:06a little bit of worry
38:07because so many times
38:08you prepare the match
38:09and then you find yourself in front of
38:10to some difficulties.
38:11That's where the team
38:12must be strong.
38:13Well done Montolivo
38:14he tried
38:15the mirror of the door!
38:20Prandelli
38:20he explained well
38:22to Antonio Cassano
38:22how to cheat
38:23the Germans
38:24with his talent.
38:25Cassano on the right
38:26a nice right kick starts
38:27from Cassano!
38:31And in the twentieth minute
38:32the Bari genet
38:33he deceives two
38:34in one fell swoop.
38:39Cassano was very good
38:41because on a fake
38:43he managed to elude
38:45the advance
38:46of the defender
38:47of Germany.
38:49I skip two opponents
38:50and I put
38:51this beautiful ball
38:52in the center.
38:54And the first one
38:55to understand the intentions
38:56of Cassano
38:57it's really him
38:58Balotelli.
39:04Mario understood
39:06before others
39:07which could have been
39:08the ball is there
39:09and went to hit her
39:11in an extraordinary way.
39:14Tirmento for Cassano
39:16ball under
39:17Cassano again
39:18the left
39:19Balotelli
39:19goal!
39:21At the twentieth
39:22Balotelli
39:23Mario Balotelli
39:29In the jump
39:30imperious
39:31by Balotelli
39:32there's inside
39:32the desire
39:33to emerge
39:34of all the blues.
39:41After the goal
39:42by Balotelli
39:42the Germans
39:43they react
39:44from Germans
39:44and they start again
39:45to attack.
39:48Boateng
39:49the cross
39:49expected
39:50Attention!
39:57and then
39:58the conclusion
39:59to Buffon
40:01against
40:01Khedira
40:03with the tip
40:04of the fingers
40:05Buffon
40:06he arrives
40:07on this
40:07right
40:09it's a moment
40:10difficult
40:10for Italy
40:11but really
40:12when everyone
40:12they expect
40:13the draw
40:14of Germany
40:16the ball
40:16it came to me
40:17I immediately
40:18looked up
40:21very stream
40:22I put
40:22this ball
40:23long
40:23for Mario
40:24Handsome
40:25for Balotelli
40:25it's good
40:25it's very good
40:27Mario Balotelli
40:27Mario is gone
40:28in front of the goalkeeper
40:29ball on the right
40:30And
40:31he pulled
40:32a stone thrown
40:33under the set
40:34it's crazy
40:39what he did
40:47the statue
40:48it seems to me
40:50the statuary
40:51exultation
40:52by Balotelli
40:53is intended
40:54to become
40:54an image
40:55symbol
40:55of Italy
40:56who wins
40:57the German fans
40:59they sink
41:00in sadness
41:10but the players
41:11they have no intention
41:13to surrender
41:13and as soon as it begins
41:15the second half
41:16they launch into attack
41:19the match
41:21it transforms
41:21in a long
41:22siege
41:27the match turns into a long siege
41:53the imagination
41:54the blue fantasy
41:55once again
41:56he's having it better
41:57on the Teutonic muscles
41:59once we are sure
42:01of team success
42:02too many blues
42:03they go hunting
42:04of individual glory
42:05centinatone
42:05Attention
42:06Marchisio
42:07right sin
42:08this is wasted pressure
42:13really in those situations
42:15where we could have made it 3-0
42:18we are left with a little too much selfishness
42:20or rather, maybe pass it on
42:21to a better placed teammate
42:23who would have scored into an empty net
42:25they had wanted to shoot
42:26things like that
42:27diamonds must carry the ball to the left
42:29dry
42:31and instead Italy doesn't close the game
42:34leave a little door open for the Germans
42:37and just when the referee
42:39the final whistle is about to blow
42:40it's not that it turns
42:41try to ask somehow
42:43maybe he touched it with his arm
42:45penalty
42:47but I don't know what he wanted
42:49seen, let's see
42:52penalty
42:57penalty
42:58now the Germans are really scary
43:01in the 92nd penalty for Germany
43:04Ezil vs. Busson
43:09left-footed goal
43:11anger takes over
43:12to question a result
43:14that up to 5 minutes from the end
43:15it wasn't
43:16it was clearly in our favor
43:18the last minutes were agony
43:20in which they had equally
43:221 or 2 situations
43:24in which he could recover the match
43:28Barzagli
43:30Bonucci
43:31what a suffering
43:33what a suffering
43:352 minutes and 30 seconds left
43:39it ends here
43:40who would have ever said it
43:42Italy in the final
43:47the final whistle of the French referee Lanois
43:50it has a very sweet sound
43:52for all Italian fans
43:53we did it
43:55the German battleship
43:56it sank
43:59Prandelli and his boys
44:01they have achieved an unthinkable goal
44:03on the eve
44:03the final
44:04of the European championships
44:11for the hero of the match
44:13Mario Balotelli
44:14there is only room for joy
44:16and for a moment
44:17of great sweetness
44:21the warrior
44:22at the end of the game
44:23after the victory
44:24it melts
44:25in the embrace
44:26of his mother
44:29I told him
44:30these goals
44:30I'm for you
44:32absolutely
44:33above all
44:34because my mom
44:34he has a certain age
44:35and she came all the way here
44:36and the only thing
44:38that I was hoping
44:38it was to make her happy
44:40somehow
44:43I don't know if everything in football
44:45it is the fruit of science
44:47or if it is the case instead
44:48who decides everything
44:50I know however that for whatever reason
44:52occur
44:53the unexpected
44:54the imponderable
44:55the uncontrollable
44:56or what we see
44:58so they are a surprise
44:59and nothing
45:01like surprises
45:02transform football
45:04in the show that is
45:06Blue Gate
45:07I'm gonna say
45:11What's on the other side
45:15Oh we can be there
45:19Forever and ever
45:24Then we can be heroes
45:28Just for one day
45:30We can be heroes
45:32We can be heroes
