Spanish national team coach Vicente Del Bosque evaluates the chances of both teams to win equally before the final of the European Championship against Italy. Interestingly, the Spaniards and Italians have already played in Group C, and Del Bosque's players even had the opportunity to eliminate their future opponents from the tournament if they had played the last round match against Croatia in a draw of 2-2. "Italy is an experienced team, whose game revolves around Andrea Pirlo and Danielle De Rossi," said Del Bosque. "The cornerstone of their style is the connection between Pirlo and forward Mario Balotelli. "In our first match against each other, which ended in a 1-1 draw, the opponents played better in the first half. So far, they have been the team that has caused us the most problems." The specialist added that there can be no favorites in the final: "Italy is a four-time world champion, so we cannot talk about favorites. In the final, the chances are always 50/50. The fact that we have already fought in this championship changes nothing." Del Bosque accepted criticism for the not very attractive style of play of the Spanish team: "We have to accept every opinion. Some things we do well, for example defense. It is true that we were not always able to play as aesthetically beautifully as everyone would like, but we controlled the whole match."
