A renovada seleção inglesa repetiu o insucesso das gerações anteriores. Nos momentos decisivos, o time da rainha não consguiu novamente honrar as origens do esporte bretão. Do outro lado, a seleção italiana desfalcada de uma de suas maiores referências – Gianluigi Buffon – teve mais calma para encontrar o gol da vitória e garantir a vitória.
A experiência italiana permitiu que a squadra azzurra abrisse o placar com arremate certeiro de Marchisio após belo corta-luz de Andrea Pirlo, o grande organizador do meio campo italiano. Dois minutos depois, o ponta-de-lança do Liverpool, Sturridge, chega ao empate após assistência de Wayne Rooney em contra-ataque rápido inglês.
Neste momento ficou claro que tratava-se de um jogo equilibrado. De certa maneira um confronto entre Liverpool e Juventus – bases das duas seleções. Defensivamente ambas equpes se mostravam lentas. Zagueiros pesados que formavam uma última linha pouco móvel.
O jogo parecia simétrico. Em frente à linha defensiva, Andrea Pirlo e Steve Gerrard, respectivamente. Boa saída de bola e transição de qualidade. Mas pesou a bagagem das equipes. De um lado, uma seleção tetracampeã mundial, cuja base de Turim é tricampeã italiana. Já o lado inglês é bastante frustrado: uma seleção que amargura uma fila de quase 50 anos de títulos mundiais, que possui uma base jovem recentemente abalada com a falha do seu capitão Gerrard que levou à perda do inédito título inglês ao camisa 8 do Liverpool.
A maturidade italiana trouxe a tranquilidade que levou ao gol da vitória, com a testada a um metro do gol de Mario Balotelli. Mesmo a correria dos atacantes Welbeck, Sturridge e Sterling não foi capaz de encontrar espaços na zaga italiana. O futebol inglês paga uma conta alta. Tem a maior liga do mundo, onde os grandes craques desfilam o melhor futebol. Mas os ingleses não passam de coadjuvantes dentro de seu próprio país.
Se o Luis Suárez do Liverpool fosse inglês…quem sabe.
Inglaterra 1 x 2 Itália
