The Azzurrini began the defence of their European Championship title against Denmark in Portugal. Alberto Aquilani pulled out of the tournament just a day earlier with a knee injury, while Fiorentina's Giampaolo Pazzini partnered Raffaele Palladino of Livorno upfront. Italy had a lively start and Ellegaard performed a fine save on Pazzini's header, although he was just offside on Giorgio Chiellini's cross from the left. Soon after, both Foggia and Sammarco's shots from distance were charged down. Gentile's men took a deserved lead after 15 minutes of play. A Cesare Bovo free kick was spread wide for Foggia, whose cross found Alessandro Potenza at the back post to volley home. It was the Real Majorca man's first goal at Under-21 level. Bovo定位球分边找到 Foggia，Foggia传中 Potenza在远门柱凌空射门得分， 这是 Potenza在ｕ２１队的首个进球。 Denmark fought back and Bendtnder turned a header wide, but this left space for the counter-attack and Palladino drilled inches past the far post. The Danes equalised soon after, as a corner kick was not cleared effectively and goalkeeper Gianluca Curci was particularly indecisive, so the ball came out to Rasmus Wurtz for a fierce drive from nine yards. 丹麦角球，义大利清球不远，与门将 Curci决断力差劲有关， 球被丹麦人拿到，Wurtz在九码处劲射推平比分。 Bovo flung himself at another Wurtz effort from a similar set-piece scenario, while Bergvold's effort was comfortably held. A Kamper cross on the counter-attack reached Bendtner and his shot flashed across the face of goal from a tight angle. Another horrible Curci error from a set-piece handed Denmark the lead moments later. The Roma shot-stopper was left stranded and, even after Chiellini's goalline clearance, Thomas Kahlenberg was able to tap into an empty net from six yards. Curci再次铸成大错，在定位球防守中失位，Kahlenberg在六码处推射空门。 The wind was now in the Scandinavian sails and Kahlenberg swung a shot just wide of the far post, followed by a Bergvold angled drive that was also agonisingly close to the upright. Marco Donadel was booked for a very late tackle on Bendtner and, from the resulting free kick from 20 metres, Leon Andreasen's strike pierced the defensive wall, as Atalanta midfielder Defendi left his position and left a gap. Donadel因过迟的铲断领到黄牌，丹麦人 Andreasen把握了机会直接射门得分， 其射门穿过人墙，义大利中场 Defendi离开位置使人墙出现了空隙。 Italy had penalty appeals before the break for a handling offence, as Pazzini's shot was clearly charged down by an outstretched arm, but the referee waved play on. Pazzini的射门明显被手球所挡，义大利要求点球未果。 Curci blocked another Kahlenberg effort and Foggia volleyed over the bar after the restart. Andreasen was booked for hauling back Defendi as he ran clear on goal, but the Atalanta man was replaced by Torino's Alessandro Rosina immediately afterwards. The free kick almost let Italy back into the game, as Bovo's set-piece was cleared off the line and Rosina's follow-up from seven yards thumped the upright. Tension spilled out on 57 minutes when a backpass was intercepted by Palladino, but his shot struck a defender's arm and Pazzini clattered into the goalkeeper as both went for the loose ball. The Fiorentina forward was yellow carded, as he ended up kicking Ellegard. The Azzurrini pulled one back on the hour mark, as Bovo's free kick found a totally unmarked Palladino for the Livorno talent's glancing header from six yards. Bovo定位球，Palladino完全无人盯防，头球顶进，义大利追回一球。 Soon after, Bovo's shot from distance was almost spilled by the goalkeeper, then Pazzini just failed to get on the end of two through balls from Palladino and Rosina with the Danish defence left stranded. Reggina striker Rolando Bianchi came on for Pazzini to spice up the attack. Bianchi sprung the offside trap, but the tension of the match got to him and the substitute blasted well wide. A deflected Foggia attempt rose over the bar and Rosina's low drive was also touched out for a corner kick. Ellegaard parried a Palladino strike at the near post, as the Azzurrini poured forward in search of the equaliser. Denmark almost made it 4-2 on the counter-attack, but Curci stood his ground to charge down Kahlenberg's point-blank finish. Foggia had a great chance to draw level through a spectacular volley with the inside of his foot on Rosina's cross, but it was wide of the target. The 3-3 finally came as the clock ticked into stoppages. Palladino flicked on the ball into the path of Bianchi, who ran into the area and unleashed an unstoppable strike. It was a particularly important goal for the Reggina man, who has missed most of this season with a serious knee injury. Palladino轻推球助攻 Bianchi怒射追平比分，终场３－３。 Italy: Curci; Potenza, Canini, Bovo, Chiellini; Foggia, Sammarco, Donadel, Defendi (Rosina 55); Pazzini (Bianchi 68), Palladino Denmark: Ellegaard; Jakobsen, Andreasen, Agger, Troest; Wurtz, Bergvold, Kamper, Kahlenberg; Bendtner (Rasmussen 79); S Poulsen (Sorensen 73) Ref: Yefet (Isr) －－ http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/may24n.html Gentile hails comeback kids Wednesday 24 May, 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Claudio Gentile has praised his Under-21 side's pride and character as they sealed a six-goal thriller with Denmark. “In truth, we could've equalised a lot earlier, as we certainly had the chances. I have to say this squad showed remarkable character, as it's not easy to fight back from 3-1 down,” said the Coach. 主教练 Gentile说：「老实说我们应该可以更早追平，我们有过机会， 我必须说球队展现了出色的性格，要从３－１落後到追平并不简单。」 The defence of their European Under-21 Championship title was off to a bad start, but the Azzurrini fought back to snatch a point with Rolando Bianchi's stoppage-time equaliser. “The lads were backing off their opponents and made some mistakes defending from set-pieces, but they really poured their heart and soul into the second half. I never had any doubts, as I know these players manage to bring their pride out even under the most difficult circumstances.” 「球员们给对手太多空间，而且在定位球防守上犯了一些错误， 不过他们在下半场把全部心神都投入了比赛，我从未疑惑过， 我知道这些球员能找回自己的荣耀，即便是面对最艰困的局势。」 Gentile's half-time talk certainly had an effect, as the Azzurrini staged an impressive comeback against the Scandinavians. “I told them that the entire nation was watching and expected them to get out of this mess and that's exactly what they did.” 被问题到中场休息时讲了什麽才起到如此作用，Gentile说： 「我告诉他们全国都在看着，而且期盼他们能有所作为，他们也确实做到了。」 Raffaele Palladino got them back into the game with his glancing header from a Cesare Bovo free kick. “At the half-time break Gentile had a bit of a go at everyone, especially me, but he was right and we all bucked up our ideas,” said the Livorno forward. “I was about to be substituted, which was only fair as I hadn't given the Coach what he wanted, but then I scored the goal and it changed my performance. Football is funny like that and one goal can be all it takes.” 为义大利进第二球的 Palladino说： 「中场休息时 Gentile要每个人放开来打，特别是对我，不过他是对的， 我本该被替换下场，因为我没能达到教练的要求， 但是後来进球改变了我的表现，足球就是如此也有趣，你只需要一个进球。」 The Azzurrini had dominated the opening 15 minutes, but allowed the Scandinavians to take control before the break. “We knew Denmark were physically strong, so we had to have a strong start. Unfortunately, we took our foot off the pedal after a while and the Danes took advantage. It's a shame we conceded three goals, as we had the chances to score a few more, but we know now that we mustn't repeat that mistake of relaxing.” 「我们知道丹麦体格强壮，所以我们必须来个有力的开场白， 不幸地，我们太快松懈，让丹麦人取得了领先，我们可耻的丢了三个球， 我们也应该能再进球，不过我们现在知道不能再犯下过早松懈的错误。」 The final equaliser in stoppages was particularly pleasing for the team, as Bianchi had faced a race against time to be ready for this match after undergoing knee surgery. “This means a lot to me, as coming back from nine months out and to score such an important goal is just wonderful. I must also thank Palladino for having given me such a great pass. My teammates were all close to me during that difficult time and it shows what a united squad we have here,” said the Reggina hitman. 在终场前追平比分的 Bianchi说：「这对我来说意义重大， 在因伤缺阵九个月之後复出就进了这样一个重要的进球实在太美好了， 我一定给感谢 Palladino漂亮的传球，我的队友们在艰苦的时刻都与我同在， 我们是一只团结的队伍。」 “I made a mistake when I was clear on goal earlier, as the intense desire to score got the better of me, but thankfully I kept my cool when it mattered.” 「进球前我犯了个错误丢失大好的得分机会，强烈的进球欲望影响了我， 好在到了关键时刻我能够保持冷静。」 The Azzurrini now face Group B leaders Ukraine - who surprisingly beat Holland earlier this evening - on Friday. -- 脾气大的女人，皮肤敏感， 每回以手指碰到，就变得像战场一样。 --
