Redemption road: On Euro 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite the violence of English fans, Euro 2020 will be remembered for good football<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sport is replete (filled or well-supplied with something)<\/strong> with redemption stories. Teams wrestling with their pasts before swimming towards the light make for compelling plotlines (the course or main features of a narrative such as the plot of a play, novel, or movie)<\/strong>. But for giant footballing countries, success following failure is more of a sequence and less of a narrative. This millennium, Germany and France have plumbed the depths (to experience a lot of (something))<\/strong> before rising to become world champions. But Italy\u2019s redemption story at Wembley on Sunday, a penalty shoot-out victory over England to secure only its second-ever European Championship, should not be seen through such a reductionist (analyzing and describing a complex phenomenon in terms of its simple or fundamental constituents)<\/strong> lens. The triumph represents the transformation of a proud, but dogmatic (\u200bbeing certain that your beliefs are right and that others should accept them, without paying attention to evidence or other opinions)<\/strong>, footballing nation into a modern, forward-looking side, with the singular aim of coming out of one of its darkest chapters \u2014 of not qualifying for a World Cup (2018) for the first time since 1958. In the process, Roberto Mancini\u2019s outfit also cleared the fog that had settled over international football. Built around the midfield (the middle area of a sports field, esp. the area midway between the two goals)<\/strong> abilities of Jorginho, Marco Verratti and Lorenzo Insigne, and the pace and drive of Federico Chiesa and Leonardo Spinazzola, Italy played with verve (vigor and spirit or enthusiasm)<\/strong>. Veteran defenders Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci ensured it also displayed old-school nous (common sense; practical intelligence)<\/strong>. Together with the goal-keeping brilliance of Gianluigi Donnarumma \u2014 player of the tournament \u2014 the Azzurri beat No.1 ranked Belgium, No.6 Spain and No.4 England back-to-back to claim their first major trophy since the 2006 World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy, no doubt, had a generation of players schooled in progressive methods since their youth, but Mancini\u2019s tactical acumen (the ability to make good judgments and quick decisions, typically in a particular domain)<\/strong> stood out. The 56-year-old\u2019s handling of the loss of key personnel was smart, as was his role in shaping Italy\u2019s response after England went a goal ahead and threatened to end its own trophy drought of 55 years. In contrast, Germany suffered under outgoing coach Joachim Low\u2019s defunct (no longer existing or functioning)<\/strong> ideas, while a complacent France blew a 3-1 lead against Switzerland and crashed out. Luis Enrique\u2019s Spain, though, impressed, despite falling to Italy over penalties in the last four. Barcelona\u2019s Pedri proved a gem and the 18-year-old midfielder was duly named the young player of the tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo won the Golden Boot (5 goals, 1 assist) but was far from the driving force he usually is for Portugal, the 2016 winner. Denmark, by reaching the semifinal despite the traumatic exit of Christian Eriksen, showcased its collective spirit. The only discordant notes in an otherwise excellent competition were English fans\u2019 violent behaviour on the final day and the racist attacks on players who erred in the penalty shoot-out. But in the long run, Euro 2020 will be remembered for restoring Italian football, reinvigorating international football and proving mildly therapeutic to fans worldwide amidst an unending, exhausting pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
