Germany and Italy are the only true football giants of Europe. As a German, I have nothing but respect for our eternal rivals

Brazil, Italy, and Germany: the Holy Trinity of football. Much respect for the other ones, but these three are historically on a totally different level.

bro italian coaches be cold af, respect

Finally we got italy where the real tactics are played

I grew up watching Italian football in the 90's. So I learn to respect and love these great ones: Lippi, Sacchi, Capello, Trapattoni, Ranieri, Ancelotti

There's just something so magic about Italian football.

the best country of all time when it comes to this sport

I study in Rome and have seen the passion firsthand as well. Even the university guys are so competitive. Sometimes I get the better of them though which is not bad for someone from India! I love it when the guys say "Bravo!" or "nostra! nostra!". Rome is my second home and I love and respect my Italian friends and their culture. Forza Italia!

The Italian national football team is special not so much for the talents or for the tactics, (of which for years they have been the masters), but for the fact that our national team is always underestimated when it wins a world cup or a Eurocup; no one gives it one euro and instead in the end it is able to surprise everyone. In two words "resilient and passionate" like no one else.

Seeing how Italy transition from negative defensive side to a beautiful attacking side without losing their defensive prowess is so beautiful and tbh just at the right time like how an attacking minded Mancini guided a new era Italy winning the Euro along the way remained unbeaten in 34 matches! If a defensive Italy was dreadful enough for opponents now they have to contend against an attacking as well as possession dominating side too! This Euro 2020/21 winning Italy is top!

When it comes to football, Italian football, players, coaches and their methods, tactics, way of thinking etc are undisputedly the best. Right from Nereo Rocco Arrigo Sacchi, Marcelo Lippi, Fabio Capello to Carlo Ancellotti, Claudio Ranieri, Max Allegri, Antonio Conte, Roberto Mancini, Gasperini, Sarri etc They had and still have so many fabulous coaches. Name me one single country that has so many quality coaches!

Il bestemmione di Capello a 6:53 😂😂😂

Congratulations to Italy for winning the Euro2020, you're getting really close to us 🇩🇪⭐⭐⭐⭐🏆🏆🏆😜😜😜

Respeto absoluto por Italia 🇮🇹

It is not just a matter of tactical and defensive excellence: Italians play with a passion and feel for the game that is unrivalled in Europe, only South Americans perhaps are equally passionate. They thrive under difficult circumstances and relish a challenge while perhaps struggling in easier fixtures. Also Italian footballers have got good technique and thinking and can adapt to various circumstances. Against stronger teams they are happy to soak pressure and play on the break, but at other times are also able to take the initiative.

watching them win in 2006 was great for my family. Germany and Italy are the giants of Europe, but then you got Brazil with 5 World Cups. so we’ll see who’s the best in the future

Brazil, Italy and Germany the real football giants

Wow, perfectly timed when I am making a project for Gli Azzurri

this is what I always admire about Italian football philosophy. Tactics. Especially their coach. They know how to act and react. how to interchange the game in a certain conditions. their player also easily adapt to variety kinds of play. they commit to get it done. they play effectively no matter the style as long as you can win. The best way I can put it is they play collectively, shoulder-to-shoulders, getting rid of all prestigious superstar status and media attention. They play because they have objective, to win the competition, rather than increasing their celebrity status as an overpriced players to get attention from some big clubs. Many may not like this philosophy because its boring, slow, lack of entertainment etc, but for me as long as it worked, it works. But when you look at Italy now, they starting to change, combining attack and defense without removing their catenaccio defending. The changing from not qualifying in WC 2018 to Euro 2020 Champion in a very short time is really astonishing, worth an example for any team in the future.

How the Italian eagles were flying in Europe - 1963: AC Milan first sat at the European throne after defeating Benfica as the first Italian team to reach the European summit - 1964-65: Inter ended AC Milan's dominance by inking Europe dark blue to clinch their first European title in the club's history after defeating Benfica and Real Madrid and went back-to-back a year later and the first team to clinch the European title in their home turf - 1969: AC Milan returned to the European throne after defeating Ajax for the second European crown to ink Europe red once again - 1985: Juventus wore the European crown as the kings of Europe for the first time after dethroning Liverpool from the European throne on the disastrous Heysel final - 1989-1994: AC Milan built the first ever dynasty in Europe under Arrigo Sacchi by winning two back-to-back European titles to defend the European throne - 1996: Juventus finally planted the Italian flag on the Roman Colosseum by defeating by the dramatic penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw after extra time against Ajax in Rome to wear the European crown and take back the European throne at the home soil - 2003: AC Milan and Juventus faced off in the first-ever all-Italian European Cup final in Manchester, however Carlo Ancelotti's side stabbed Marcelo Lippi's squad by penalties after the dramatic goalless final to clinch the sixth European title. - 2007: AC Milan returned to the European throne just four years after the all-Italian final by paying back from the big loss in Istanbul at Athens 2 years ago to defeat Liverpool - 2010: José Mourinho and Inter finally sealed the first Italian treble in the Italian soccer history by a decisive 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in Madrid final to cement the name of the European crown to wear and clinch the third European title since 1965.

And now Italy are champions of Europe. Call me a dreamer but I feel Italian football will again be dominating the European scene. I believe the problem this last decade ( the first 5 years I’d say) was that any player with a good agent was able to move to a big Italian club but with no merit at all. And now it seems clubs realized that and started giving Italian youngsters the chance to play for their respective teams. I sure hope I’m right because Italian football to me is where the real game is.

Wow, just realised so many great coach actually from Italy!

Italian football has that charm and suspense about it which you can't really say for most nations in their continent(apart from the Germans and Dutch). Combined with their intuition and creativity with the way the game operates, it's no wonder why they are forced to be reckoned with. Despite not qualifying for their second world cup in a row, it hasn't dented their future plans to dominate world football. Roberto Mancini has the blueprint for this team to succeed in his own image, I feel he is one or two strikers away from achieving greatness. Forza Azzurri 🇮🇹

RIP GIGI SIMONI. A GENTLEMAN OF FOOTBALL

Greatest Footballing nation.. football is in the Italian genes.. **Huge chunk of Brazilian and Argentina population claims Italian ancestry Maradona & Messi have Italian ancestry..

Forza Italia🇮🇹💙

Incredible how much they've changed this Euros!

Germany for me are the masters of European football along with Italy. Tactically both superb.

Grande Italia🇮🇹 Sempre con te ❤

The proof is in the pudding as they say. Look at the trophy case of Italian coaches. Ancelotti, Lippi, Capello, Trappatoni, Sacchi, Rocco, Ranieri etc. Brilliant. I love and respect Italian soccer.

I tattici più innovativi di sempre, gli italiani sono una razza diversa di stile, spavalderia e intelligenza. Giocano nel modo giusto, a modo loro. Andiamo italia

A mention, among the best Italian coaches is to do also to Zdenek Zeman, the Czech coach naturalized Italian, that with Foggia was doing the most spectacular and offensive game still today will be seen. Total football overall when in Italy there still was the Catenaccio mentality.

Best matches in history are Italy vs Germany

Sarri, Ancelotti, Sacchi, Conte, Donadoni, Mancini, Lippi, Maldini, Trapattoni, Gasperini, Spalletti, Rocco, Allegri, Bearzot, Capello, and many more...

Italia mia terra natia. la migliore nel calcio.⚽️🇮🇹💙❤️‍🔥

Literally that's why we have - with Germany - the best coaches in the world.

All I can do is to vouch to Atalanta's youth program 🙏🏼

Grew up watching the National Italian team change and develop, with new strategies and ever-growing finesse, class and pride (from me). Such as Cannovaro, Buffon, Maldini and other talented azzuri. grazie ai nostri azzuri per aver reso il calcio italiano una squadra di passione :D

I love italy soccer

Die besten Fußball Schlachten in der Fußball Geschichte. Herzliche Grüße nach Deutschland. Ciao 🍀

Talking about home of football, that is a proper one

The 1rst italian coach to introduce the offensive tactic style inspired by Hollande total football has been Luis Vinicio in 1973-76 Napoli football club. If Napoli hadn't given away its best players to Juventus football club in 1972 (goalkeeper Dino Zoff and foreword Jose' Altafini) it would have probably won the championship, instead it was second 2 points behind Juventus in the 1974-75 tounament, having lost the home match 2-6 against Juventus. Probably for this reason it wasn't untill Sacchi's Milan that the new offensive football style would spread in Italy.

Grande Italia 💙

Whos watching after Italy won euro 2020

Wonderful clip!

bellissimo❤️❤️❤️

Go Italy! 🇮🇹

Good players in the football Italian

Maybe these arent "our time" in term of victory, but our league is the most prestigious Univesity in term of Tactics and Defense. A player (especially a defender) who comes to play in Italy definitely goes away enriched and stronger. A striker too btw

2022-2030, Italian clubs returns to be kings of europe. Milan and Inter, along with Roma, Napoli, Lazio and Atalanta. Juventus also I guess. But most importantly Ac Milan return next season to Champions League

in Italy, football is actually a philosophy and science

My favorit coach: 1. Marcelo Lippi 2. Arrigo Sachi 3. Giovani Trapattoni 4. Fabio Capello 5. Carlo Ancelotti 6. Antonio Conte 7. Gian Piero Gasperini 8. Claudio Ranieri 9. Roberto Mancini 10. Ciro Ferrara 11. Alberto Zacceroni

Italy's current squad is worthy for at least a euro champion🇮🇹

So INSPIRING

Very touching.

One of my favs with sweden. Germany. Netherlands. Russia. Scotland

Don’t how many tournaments Italy got screwed over by refs. SO MANY, even this Euro 2020, the Belgium game, penalty against Italy that was not even a yellow card. Italy would have at least 2 other World Cup and 1 more Euro, if not for referees determining the outcome. One of the worse was 2002 World Cup. But games Italy won like 2006 final France gets a penalty for a complete dive. Euro 2000, Semi- final. Italy gets to TWO penalties against them, half the game they’re playing with 10 men, more than half the team got yellow cards, the won anyways, but it hurt them in the finals.

Nothing about great teams coached by Trap and Lippi...

Italy the footbal giant

Can we talk about the drum beat though? Incredible

These story's always hit hard. Can you do one about Brazil?

Best country of all football story. Many revolutions and incredibile players

Brasil e Italia siempre han sido mis favoritos en los mundiales

Forza Italia🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

AC Milan. Can’t wait to see them back in UCL next year

basically Milan

Ulivieri the coach who put Baggio on the bench for Maiellaro lmfao

Wonderfull

Sadly clubs like Juve, Lazio and Parma weren’t mention enough.

ti aspecto

"defence, defending in numbers and counter attack" *looks at Euro 2020 Italy*; *laughs in all half billion Italian dialects*

I remember them in the 06 wc lob passes

Solo di Milan si parla.. questo fa capire molte cose ❤🖤

Qualcuno conosce il titolo del pezzo di batteria in sottofondo quando parla Ulivieri? Potrei ascoltare per ore questo genere di batteria.

In the 90’s we had al the Italian teams in European cup finals we dominated world football for almost a decade Italy team was the best in the world 1990 to 2002 won nothing ( with the help of scum balatter ) we should at least have 1 more uro 2000 and word cup 1990

L allenatore è importante, il gioco e il modulo sono importanti, ma solo se hai la squadra e i calciatori ed i campioni adatti

ComeOn Italia🇮🇹!!

viva Italia❤️🇮🇹

Champion of Europe 🇮🇹

Italy 🔥

Had no idea Sacchi developed and utilized forward running fullbacks. Had to have impacted the entirety of italian football.

Can’t beat the Italians talking about football 😂

Si parla tanto di vincenti, ma di maestri come Scala Galeone o Zeman neanche un appunto, ricordiamoci che il calcio è solo uno sport da dare e lasciare ai tifosi e da tifoso io voglio vedere una squadra con la sua identità, con il suo calcio, voglio veder crescere piccoli talenti e voglio sopratutto DIVERTIRMI su quegli spalti.

6:52 top bestemmione capello

Forza Italia 🇮🇹

FORZA!!!

Alô de Natal/RN.

Jose Mourinho 🤩

Nessuna menzione su Fulvio Bernardini che vinse due scudetti con Fiorentina e Bologna; che valgono come dieci di quelli vinti da altre squadre di Torino e Milano.

Good 👍

Forza azzurri!!! 💚🤍❤️

the revival of Milan and Cr7's acquisition has made SeriA the 3rd best league after PL and Bundasliga

I understand even without subtitles or almost. Try guess why

FORZA italia

Nice

Plz do Germany!

Funny how whenever Italian Football dipped, it was always an awakened innovative AC Milan that brought it back to life. Hopefully history will repeat itself again like it did before.

stiamo tornando

Italy di Benua Erofa itu Kiblatnya Sepakbola dari Piala Dunia Pertama di Gelar sampai sekarang... 🤫

Ancellotti, Mourinho, Conte
