France v Italy: Who will be crowned masters?
over the course of what became a fairly tedious evening.
The shoot-out may not be the fairest way to decide a football match.
But in this case it avoided the prospect of Italy and Holland still battling it out at 3.00am in the morning in an empty stadium, with the Dutch midfield still hoofing hopeful balls into the area and 10 Italian men booting them away.
Zidane is the man who can avoid a repeat of that. The world's favourite number 10 has been on spectacular form all through the tournament, showing exquisite ball control and sublime passing.
The only question is whether his teammates will be able to exploit it.
On current form. Nesta would have Anelka for breakfast. Dutch star Patrick Kluiv-ert. who had been running at defences all through the championships. played virtually a vwhole semifinal with his back to goal. * ■
ROTTERDAM. Netherlands. July 1 (AFP): France will be looking to Zinedine Zidane, their hero of the 1998 World Cup final, to pierce Italy's armour-plated defence when the two sides meet in Sunday's Euro 2000 final.
Zidane decided the final of France 98 singlehanded, heading home two first-half corners that ripped the heart out of defending world champions Brazil.
And it will probably take some more surgical strikes from the former World Player of the Year to decide this filial at the De Kuip stadium here.
It would certainly be a popular outcome. Italy have been painted as the villains of the sport in the world's press - Italy excepted - after their dour defensive perfomance against the Dutch and their subsequent victory on penalties.
Now a global armchair audience wants to see the best playmaker in the game carve gaping holes in that same Italian defence and set free the sheer pace and passion of Thierry Henry and Nicolas Anelka.
France have not only been playing the most skilful football of Euro 2000. but they also showed real grit and determination in coming back to beat Portugal 2-1 with Zidane's Golden Goal penalty.
When France are in need. Zidane delivers. And they will certainly be in need here on Sunday.'
France may walk out as favourites, but so were Holland when Frank RIJkaard's men sauntered into the Amsterdam ArenA on Thursday night, convinced they could follow up their 6-1 hammering of Yugoslavia with another stirring win.
Instead, they spent two hours firing paper darts at a Roman shield.
Crosses, shots and headers all bounced harmlessly off a defence maishalled by Alessandro Nesta uid Fabio ( ainiavaro, while goalkeepet Francesco Toldo saved three penalties
Henry, though more dangerous. will find his left flank barred by Cannavaro. who was outstanding on Thursday night
The weak link Is defender Mark lullano and it’s his own Juventus teammate that Zidane will find before him if the Frenchman makes one of his careering runs down the middle and into the Italian penalty area.
lullano will be in similar trouble if Patrick Vieira, now establishing himself in the French midfield, makes the kind of 'route-one' attack on the Spanish goal which set up Youri Djorkaeffs winner in the quarter-finals.
Djorkaeff was sacrificed by coach Roger Lemerre for the semi-final against Portugal, in order to keep Vieira In the team when Emmanuel Petit returned from injury’.
And it's a tribute to the strength of the French squad in depth that Lemerre has so many options when it comes to levering open that Italian defence.
One tempting option will be to sacrifice an out-and-out striker for a second playmaker - creating a Christmas tree' ef-
feet with skipper Didier Deschamps. Vieira and Petit m the middle. Zidane and Djorkaeff further forward and Henrv up front as the finisher
Al the back. Lemerre s tried and tested four ol Bixente Lizarazu. Marcel Desailly. Laurent Blanc and Lilian fhuram need no special preparation -particularly as the latter three have all had first first-hand experience of Italian football.
For their part. Italy can afford to be more attacking in the final (han in their last match.
Though they have been on the back foot all tournament, and hitting their opponents on the counter. Italy had little choice but to hunker down after losing Gianluca Zambrotta to a 33rd minute red card that will keep the Juventus winger out of (be final. He will most likely be n placed by Angelo Di Livio.
Alessandro Del Piero will probably get the nod over Frances. Totti to line, up ■alongside his Juyt ijips HAke partner Filippo Inzaghi ■
Despite all the criticism of their "negative" defensive football. Zoff has made it perfectly clear he will do whatever it takes to win Sunday's final. Even if it means boring France and half a billion TV viewers into submission
"It could be a repeat against France if the match goes the same way,” he warned menacingly. "For me. victory counts above all else and if we have to do the same against (he French, we’ll do it."
Sunday s final is likely to be a closely-fought affair, a balance that could be tilted either way by a blunder, a piece of magic or even the simple fact that France will have had an extra 24 hours to recover from their win over Spain.
Italy left the Amsterdam ArenA mentally elated but physically shattered on Thursday night. A rest of under three days is unlikely to be enough for them to fully recover.
For France, who won this tournament in 1984 with Michel Platini, another place in the history’ books beckons on Sunday night, with the chance (o b« ome the first World Cup winning side to add the Euro-p .hi title.
To do that. France will need someone special. Someone like Platini who can conjure up match-winning success from both inside and outside the penalty area And in Zidane. France have just the right man.
