The Italian and Spanish teams finished the mission of the quarter-finals with great success, and they meet in an early final next Tuesday in the round of 4.

The Azzurri, one of the most prominent candidates for the title, overtook the Belgian national team, after winning it 2-1, signed by Parilla and Insigne, while Lukaku scored for Belgium with a penalty kick.

On the other hand, the Spanish team survived the "Swiss surprise", and won it on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the original and extra time. Denis Zakaria scored a mistake against Switzerland, and Shaqiri scored the Swiss equalizer.

Four main reasons lie behind the brilliance that the two teams have shown in the current "Euro 2020", which is hosted by many European cities, most notably the absence of pressure from nominations, team play, and the emergence of a new generation of players, in addition to the coaches' thirst to make their mark with their country's teams.

No filter pressure

The most prominent benefit of the Italian and Spain teams is that many did not nominate them for the title before the tournament, especially due to the absence or retirement of great stars, in addition to the modest results of the two teams in the past tournaments, especially the 2018 World Cup, where Italy did not participate, while Spain came out of the final price at the hands of Russia.

The nominations were all in the interest of France, England and Belgium, and to a lesser extent Portugal and England, which made Spain and Italy benefit greatly from the absence of media and public pressure on players and coaches, and reappear strongly in the European football scene.

Young and energetic

The two teams have a wonderful group of young players, who presented a distinctive image, and without the prominent star, as Spain entered the tournament in the absence of a group of players, as no player from Real Madrid participated, including the absence of Sergio Ramos.

On the other hand, other players presented themselves strongly, such as Moreno and Morata, and the 24-year-old goalkeeper Simon.

On the other hand, Italy has great players, such as Chiesa, Barilla, Insigne, Locatelli and Immobile, as well as the element of experience in defenders Chiellini and Bonucci, and the brilliant goalkeeper Donnarumma.

Diversity of scorers

The five matches played by each team show the strength of the two teams in collective play, and the source of the danger is diverse in them, and there is no prominent star, for example, Spain scored 9 goals, a double for Morata, Sarabia and Torres, and the goal of Azpilquita, Laporte and Uyarzbal, while Italy scored 11 goals, including Doubles by Immobile, Insigne, Locatelli and Pesina, a goal by Chiesa and Barilla, and a goal by Turkish Demiral by mistake in favor of Italy

Trainer's footprint

This is the most prominent experience for both coaches, Roberto Mancini (Italy) and Luis Enrique (Spain), both of whom made a process of replacement, replacement and new construction, where they bet on the youth element with some experience, especially on the Italian side.

The two coaches rely on team play and possession, with intense pressure in certain periods of matches, especially in the second half, in addition to betting a lot on attacks from the sides, which paid off, and made them at the moment of truth against each other in the semi-finals.

• 6 players have scored Italy's goals in the tournament so far.

• Al Matador's goals in five matches came from six players, most notably Morata, Sarabia and Torres.
