Italy is very favorite here for me.

In my opinion they are the best team in the tournament and the main title contenders, even more now that Argentina and Brazil are out. They made a good group stage beating Brazil, and then managed to beat two strong teams like England and Colombia, both deservedly.

Italy displayed strength, pace, flow and creativity, sending a warning to the teams left in the competition that they mean business. They have been playing very well, with top players like tournament top scorer Casadei (for me the best player of the tournament so far) and Empoli’s player Baldanzi. They also have some young stars like Esposito, who scored 15 goals in 29 games with Inter U19.

They are dominating the games and having ball possession, showing a very high level during the whole World Cup. The way they outplayed Brazil (the best team and main title contenders at the beginning of the tournament) in the group stage were amazing. The team’s maturity and composure have given them an edge over their adversaries in the run to the last four. They will now have to bring forth those qualities against a persistent Korean team.

On the other hand, South Korea has been very lucky so far. They offered zero in attack. Their plan during all games has been just to park the bus and wait for their chances, which came luckily.

They were totally outplayed in all games.

• Against Nigeria made only 1 shot on target and 4 in total (Nigeria made 22 and 3 on target), with only 0.28 xG while Nigeria had 1.13.
• Against Ecuador (2:3), the same: 0.92xG and 2.97 xG conceded, only 31% possession and conceded 26 shots.
• Gambia (0:0) had only 0.25xG and 1.39xG conceded, 45% possession and lost 7:16 in shots.
• Honduras (2:2), even with a red card for rivals at 27’, were outplayed again with 1.21 xG for 1.71 xG conceded. And must note that Honduras was one of the weakest teams in the tournament.
• And France (somehow they won 1:2) was the same history: 33% possession, lost 9:23 in shots…

Taegeuk Warriors are set to face a team, composed of many attacking and midfield talents, some of whom boast top-tier league experience. Moreover, Italy’s air superiority is another big advantage.

Italy are a more experienced side, managed to beat and outplay very strong teams and are full of confidence for this match. South Korea has been outplayed in all the games played in the tournament, even against much weaker teams than Italy, and sooner or later their luck must go to the end. Italy will be the stronger team they will face; surely will be dominated again and hopefully, Italian will pass to the final.

意大利是我最喜欢的地方。

在我看来，他们是本届杯赛中最好的球队，也是冠军的主要争夺者，在阿根廷和巴西出局的情况下更是如此。他们在小组赛中击败了巴西，取得了不错的成绩，然后又击败了英格兰和哥伦比亚两支强队，这两支强队都是当之无愧的。

意大利展现出了力量、速度、流畅和创造力，向其他球队发出了一个警告:他们是认真的。他们踢得很好，有顶级球员，比如联赛最佳射手卡萨迪(对我来说是迄今为止比赛中最好的球员)和恩波利的球员巴尔丹齐。他们也有一些年轻的球星，比如埃斯波西托，他在国米U19的29场比赛中打进15球。

他们在比赛中占据主导地位，控球率很高，在整个世界杯期间都表现出很高的水平。他们在小组赛阶段击败巴西队(世界杯开始时最强的球队和主要冠军争夺者)的方式令人惊叹。这支球队的成熟和沉着使他们在进入四强的过程中比对手更有优势。现在，他们必须在对阵顽强拼搏的韩国队时展现出这些品质。

另一方面，韩国到目前为止非常幸运。他们没有进攻。在所有的比赛中，他们的计划就是停好车，等待他们的机会，幸运的是机会来了。

他们在所有的比赛中都被完全打败了。

• 在对尼日利亚的比赛中，只有1次射正，4次射正(尼日利亚22次射正，3次射正)，射门次数只有0.28次，尼日利亚则是1.13次。
• 对厄瓜多尔(2:3)，同样的情况:0.992场均进球，2.97场均失球，只有31%的控球率和26次射门。
• 冈比亚(0:0)只有0.25次射门，失球1.39次，控球率45%，射门率7:16。
• 洪都拉斯(2:2)，尽管在27分钟被对手红牌罚下，但仍以1.21比1.71的比分被击败。必须注意的是，洪都拉斯是本届杯赛中最弱的球队之一。
• 而法国队(他们以1:2的比分获胜)也是同样的历史:控球率33%，射门率9:23…

太极勇士队将面对一支由许多攻击型和中场天才组成的球队，其中一些人拥有顶级联赛的经验。此外，意大利的空中优势是另一大优势。

意大利是一支更有经验的球队，他们击败了很多强队，并且对这场比赛充满信心。韩国队在本届世界杯的所有比赛中都被击败，即使是面对比意大利弱得多的球队，他们的运气迟早会走到尽头。意大利将是他们将要面对的更强大的球队;肯定会再次被统治，希望意大利人能进入决赛。
