:00:53. > :01:01.skill. COMMENTARY: He's lashed in an
:01:01. > :01:04.equaliser! In a world governed by skill.
:01:04. > :01:09.It will take a sufficient amount of skill.
:01:10. > :01:15.COMMENTARY: A brilliant burst from Jordi Alba.
:01:15. > :01:18.Good evening. The Host Nation has made it through to the final of the
:01:19. > :01:28.Confederations Cup. Tonight, we will find out whether Brazil will face
:01:29. > :01:37.
:01:37. > :01:42.Spain or Italy. Here with us are Alan and Gianluca. Can you see any
:01:42. > :01:47.way it will be different this time around? Tonight, it will be
:01:47. > :01:57.complicated. It won't be easy. Spain are an awesome team. We are more
:01:57. > :01:57.
:01:57. > :02:02.like work in progress. We haven't been defending well in the
:02:02. > :02:06.Confederations Cup. We have shown a lot of courage and determination. I
:02:06. > :02:13.think, physically, we will be able to cope better because we had an
:02:13. > :02:17.extra day off. A change in system for Italy. In the group stages, it
:02:17. > :02:27.worked quite well against Spain? is a system that suits the Italian
:02:27. > :02:37.
:02:37. > :02:45.another one will be covering. In the midfield, Pirlo and De Rossi. Up
:02:45. > :02:55.front, Gilardino will play by himself. No-ball ball. For Spain,
:02:55. > :02:59.more -- No Balotelli. They are probably the best team I have ever
:02:59. > :03:03.witnessed. I love watching them play, the way they play. They are
:03:03. > :03:12.all so comfortable on the ball. They have made one or two changes
:03:12. > :03:16.tonight. Torres is in. He's had a decent few weeks. Five goals.
:03:16. > :03:21.Fabregas is out and Silva in. They will play their football that they
:03:21. > :03:25.are so very good at. Spain will win? Yes, they will win. I think - I am
:03:25. > :03:31.not sure they will score the four goals we saw a year ago. Should I
:03:31. > :03:36.ask you? Well, yes, please. I hope we can take them to the extra time,
:03:36. > :03:42.with a bit of luck. We need luck tonight. We need to be clinical. We
:03:42. > :03:47.will concede ten clear-cut chances for them. We need to be very
:03:48. > :03:57.effective when we have got our chances. OK. It is close to kick-off
:03:58. > :03:58.
:03:58. > :04:05.in Fortaleza. Let's join our commentators. Thank you, Gary. It is
:04:05. > :04:08.4.00pm in Fortaleza. As always here, it is a hot one! That will be
:04:08. > :04:15.something to factor into game management and something that gives
:04:15. > :04:19.Spain another advantage. They have played here already. They have been
:04:19. > :04:25.here longer and they keep the ball like no other team in world
:04:26. > :04:30.football. Italy's coach, Cesare Prandelli, has said his team must be
:04:30. > :04:34.prepared to suffer. They will be doing a lot of chasing, they will be
:04:35. > :04:44.doing a lot of work and it will be hot work, Martin? It will. That was
:04:44. > :04:51.a comment for the media, for the players. Yes, the heat here is
:04:51. > :04:57.almost unbearable. 29 Celsius at the moment, 84 Fahrenheit. The man in
:04:57. > :05:01.charge is England's Howard Webb. He was this charge of Brazil against
:05:01. > :05:08.Mexico last Wednesday on this stage. He told me afterwards that he had
:05:08. > :05:18.burnt nearly 3,000 calories in the course of that game. It is not just
:05:18. > :05:30.
:05:30. > :05:38.Buffon, who has come in for a bit of criticism, Martin? He has. Look at
:05:38. > :05:43.the movement off the ball. Those are the areas down the sides that the
:05:43. > :05:52.Spanish will attack. Buffon belted out the Italian National Anthem with
:05:52. > :05:58.pride. A lot of proud Italians here tonight. They are just on balance
:05:58. > :06:03.getting the majority of the local support. There have been jeers for
:06:03. > :06:07.Spain from the Brazilian public in every game they have played.
:06:07. > :06:17.Brazilians see the Spanish as dominating world football. That is
:06:17. > :06:19.
:06:19. > :06:22.the final that most Brazilians want to see, against the European
:06:22. > :06:32.Champions, the World Champions, and they are looking to complete the
:06:32. > :06:40.
:06:40. > :06:50.of the competition. Cesc Fabregas ruled out. Spain almost playing
:06:50. > :07:07.
:07:07. > :07:10.little incisive passes. This time Pedro shoots wide. Can you sense
:07:10. > :07:20.nervousness at the back? They haven't played three at the back for
:07:20. > :07:32.
:07:32. > :07:42.some time, so it will take a while first Italian burst. -- cheer for
:07:42. > :07:45.
:07:45. > :07:51.Italians. This is what De Rossi knows. When they get the ball, they
:07:51. > :08:01.have to go with purpose. Giaccherini should have been doing better with
:08:01. > :08:02.
:08:02. > :08:07.to make it 1-1 in the final group game last Saturday, a 4-2 Brazil win
:08:07. > :08:12.in the end. There was a feeling in the Italian camp afterwards that
:08:13. > :08:22.they caused Brazil problems and had they been more audacious, they might
:08:23. > :08:37.
:08:37. > :08:41.have won the game. Over the years, the Italians play in your face.
:08:41. > :08:46.free-kick. Alberto Gilardino in too strongly on Andres Iniesta. It is a
:08:46. > :08:51.new experience for Spain to be booed quite like this as an international
:08:51. > :09:01.unit. When Barcelona play Real Madrid, Real Madrid play Barcelona,
:09:01. > :09:30.
:09:30. > :09:35.He nearly got on the end of the Iniesta pass. A great run from the
:09:35. > :09:42.back. He spots the danger. Gets on his bike. Iniesta picks him out,
:09:42. > :09:46.almost. Just behind him. Something tells me you would be a Sergio Ramos
:09:46. > :09:56.fan? Very much so. He is a very rugged defender, but he wants to
:09:56. > :10:09.
:10:09. > :10:19.play as well. A bit like myself(!) The flag has stayed down. Candreva
:10:19. > :10:50.
:10:50. > :11:00.to safety. Spain are playing with their effortless style. Breakneck
:11:00. > :11:10.
:11:10. > :11:15.speed as well. Everything is so Giorgio Chiellini was the player who
:11:15. > :11:20.had to limp out of the European Championship final less than a year
:11:20. > :11:24.ago in Kiev, in the first half. Yes, Spain were magnificent that night, a
:11:24. > :11:28.4-0 win. We must remember how everything seemed to conspire
:11:28. > :11:33.against Italy. They lost him in the first half and were down to ten men
:11:33. > :11:43.with half an hour to play. Chiellini has been the most impressive Italian
:11:43. > :12:10.
:12:10. > :12:20.Candreva again and Italy are getting forward. Pirlo gets the acclaim of
:12:20. > :12:30.
:12:30. > :12:35.two who hit the bar with a thumping effort against Brazil. He is all on
:12:35. > :12:41.his own there as well. He almost jumps too soon. You will have
:12:41. > :12:51.noticed the black armband on the sleeve of Maggio and all the Italy
:12:51. > :12:53.
:12:53. > :13:03.players. They are wearing those because of the sad death of one of
:13:03. > :13:07.
:13:07. > :13:17.their own. The Italian FA has spent messages of condolence home. -- has
:13:17. > :13:40.
:13:40. > :13:50.energy in the last game against Nigeria on Sunday. Two goals for the
:13:50. > :14:20.
:14:20. > :14:25.full-back, one for Fernando Torres. go forward with the ball. It will be
:14:25. > :14:31.nice to see those two central defenders for Spain being tested for
:14:31. > :14:36.once. He has full confidence in the man who is filling the shoes of
:14:36. > :14:42.Mario Balotelli. Alberto Gilardino has been there, done it and won the
:14:42. > :14:52.big one in 2006, a World Cup winner. He was recalled to the squad in
:14:52. > :15:27.
:15:27. > :15:30.February. He will want to prove he players are putting in. They are
:15:30. > :15:34.shuffling across, keeping their shape. The Spanish have been
:15:34. > :15:39.surprised they have not come in after them to press the ball.
:15:39. > :15:44.they have do go back to being Italian for all their attacking
:15:44. > :15:54.force in this squad? When they do get it, it is an early ball down the
:15:54. > :16:27.
:16:27. > :16:35.middle. It's tested Spain a few by some that Spain's shirt design
:16:35. > :16:40.for this competition is so so they have already got the ribbon for the
:16:40. > :16:50.medal around their neck. Why not? They have won so many competitions
:16:50. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :17:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:17:59. > :18:06.Put out of play by Andrea Barzagli. Spain look strong down that left. --
:18:06. > :18:11.Spain look strong down that left-hand side. Silva was on the
:18:11. > :18:21.move and Xavi resisted the temptation to play the ball through
:18:21. > :18:38.
:18:38. > :18:42.looking for that, but he got it. Iniesta, when he travels with the
:18:42. > :18:52.ball, his head is darting everywhere. He is an outstanding
:18:52. > :19:22.
:19:22. > :19:25.creating chances. Nobody goes with him. He plays it wide. An early pass
:19:26. > :19:30.into the box. You wonder if that is their weakness, in the middle of
:19:30. > :19:33.that defence. Even here on Sunday, against Nigeria, 3-0 looks
:19:33. > :19:38.comfortable, but Nigeria did squander quite a few opportunities
:19:38. > :19:43.to score. The problem is, they are still having that energy left to
:19:43. > :19:46.really attack them. As soon as you get it back, there is a reluck
:19:46. > :19:56.Tansey to want to go and play, you need your rest, but that is when
:19:56. > :20:04.
:20:04. > :20:10.they are at their weakest. -- reluctancy to want to go and play,
:20:10. > :20:20.you need your rest, but that is when they are at their weakest. Believe
:20:20. > :20:20.
:20:20. > :21:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:21:06. > :21:16.it or not, Spain do lose every now trying to keep the ball now.
:21:16. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:26.Fortaleza has become a little Italy. "Italia! " Is booming down! Good
:21:26. > :21:31.save from Casillas. That is a first-class save when you get a
:21:31. > :21:35.chance to see that again. What a movement off the ball. Some times
:21:35. > :21:45.the Spanish players just stand and watch. Alba getting caught out that
:21:45. > :22:01.
:22:01. > :22:07.Candreva skips past Silva. And powers past Jordi Alba. He is back
:22:07. > :22:16.at him leaning in. Darren Cann flags for a foul. Outstanding from
:22:16. > :22:24.Candreva there. He must have run 30 or 40 yards. It's a brave run. He is
:22:24. > :22:32.lucky with the decision. Look at him running through there. It is a
:22:32. > :22:42.fantastic save. Fantastic save from a goalkeeper who hasn't played for
:22:42. > :23:07.
:23:07. > :23:12.stride with Jordi Alba, he can just as he likes them. Take a look
:23:12. > :23:18.at the quality on this ball. A teasing cross from Pirlo. No-one
:23:18. > :23:28.attacking it for the Spanish. The goalkeeper doesn't want to come for
:23:28. > :23:56.
:23:56. > :24:03.it. He should do better. It's De here. Again, it is that switch pass
:24:03. > :24:13.and it goes back into the box early and he is unmarked again. They can't
:24:13. > :24:14.
:24:14. > :24:23.keep missing these chances. Knocked back in for Claudio Marchisio. He
:24:23. > :24:28.had it just about on a plate. I can imagine what Gianluca is making of
:24:28. > :24:38.this. We have three strikers on the sofa and they all would have put
:24:38. > :24:54.
:24:54. > :25:04.They will be shocked at the ease of some of these chances they are
:25:04. > :25:04.
:25:04. > :25:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:25:44. > :25:48.getting. Xavi will want to slow it media - how he believed Spain were
:25:48. > :25:54.almost unbelievable. They have already proved, his side, that that
:25:54. > :26:04.is not true, or it would seem so. There is a long way to go. Torres is
:26:04. > :26:25.
:26:25. > :26:35.bundled to the floor. Swept out to other. Marchisio comes back to help
:26:35. > :27:07.
:27:07. > :27:17.shoulder of the last defender. De Rossi was looking for that long
:27:17. > :27:17.
:27:17. > :28:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:28:07. > :28:11.off to the Italians, the way they are keeping their shape. As an
:28:12. > :28:16.Englishman, we are watching how hard they work, but when they get the
:28:16. > :28:26.ball, boy do they play and express themselves. That is part of it as
:28:26. > :28:26.
:28:26. > :29:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:29:22. > :29:32.when they get in the final third. They have the technique. They have
:29:32. > :30:11.
:30:11. > :30:18.the confidence. But they need to the foul on Busquets. Marchisio with
:30:18. > :30:28.the best chance of the match yet. is almost like a chess match
:30:28. > :30:50.
:30:50. > :30:55.watching this, isn't it? The Spanish the room that he needed for that.
:30:55. > :30:59.Yes, Silva is playing more central. He comes off the line. I would like
:30:59. > :31:09.to see Arbeloa getting down that touchline. Alba gets forward far
:31:09. > :31:09.
:31:09. > :32:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:32:43. > :32:46.into the Spain team - and the Barcelona team - and many thought he
:32:46. > :32:52.was not up to the job, but he has been superb for both over recent
:32:52. > :32:57.years? He is the brains on the pitch. What do you make of del
:32:57. > :33:02.Bosque's skills? He is the master, isn't he? He has a way of playing
:33:02. > :33:08.against teams. In his press conference he said, "We have
:33:08. > :33:16.three-ways to play. But we will wait to see how the Italians play."
:33:16. > :33:26.were a few media men trying to get the better of him. But Vicente del
:33:26. > :33:28.
:33:28. > :33:38.Bosque was having none of it. Every answer was straight-batted back. Two
:33:38. > :33:43.competitive defeats in 43 games. Only six defeats in 75 in any
:33:43. > :33:53.competition, friendlies included. He's done all right, the old boy.
:33:53. > :34:10.
:34:10. > :34:14.group of players like this. Yes. Silva was almost doubling up on that
:34:14. > :34:20.left-hand side, Pedro was central. They are finding a way to make it
:34:20. > :34:28.more difficult for the Italians to defend against. It's a big thumbs up
:34:28. > :34:33.for Italy so far, though? Very much so. No surprise if the game does go
:34:33. > :34:43.in fits and starts. There will be lulls because it is desperately hot
:34:43. > :35:04.
:35:04. > :35:11.the floor. A word from Howard Webb. Yeah. He swung at that and missed.
:35:11. > :35:15.He just got Torres. This is Howard Webb's first time in charge of a
:35:15. > :35:25.Spain game since the 2010 World Cup final, that game in which he had to
:35:25. > :35:31.
:35:31. > :35:35.issue 14 yellow cards, two of those to a Dutchman and five to Spain
:35:35. > :35:43.players. There should have been one to Nigel de Jong in that game as
:35:43. > :35:48.well. For sure.Half an hour played - it's Spain 0, Italy 0. Still no
:35:48. > :35:53.closer to knowing who will face Brazil in Sunday's final. Torres is
:35:53. > :36:02.getting some treatment. Maggio catching him. That was a bad touch.
:36:02. > :36:12.He pinches it. He takes one on the shin. That is why you wear shin
:36:12. > :36:12.
:36:12. > :36:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:36:56. > :37:00.throw. He looks for Torres. No free-kick - oh there is, finally. A
:37:00. > :37:06.little bit of deliberation and a glance from Howard Webb towards
:37:06. > :37:16.Darren Cann. He was very slow in making that one. He just gets it
:37:16. > :37:23.
:37:23. > :37:33.right. He clips his heel. Of course, to give too many of these free-kicks
:37:33. > :37:33.
:37:33. > :38:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:38:22. > :38:27.the moving - then the big centre-back got hold of it! This is
:38:27. > :38:33.the problem. Great vision from Pirlo. Some player he is. He's found
:38:33. > :38:38.the heat a bit of a problem. He is probably having his best game
:38:38. > :38:43.tonight in the competition. Perhaps still feeling the effects of the
:38:43. > :38:46.calf problem that caused him to miss the Brazil game at the weekend. He
:38:46. > :38:56.lit up the tournament on the opening weekend with a superb free-kick
:38:56. > :38:56.
:38:56. > :39:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:39:40. > :39:46.Torres there. They have almost played the Euros without a centre
:39:46. > :39:49.forward. A 4-0 Spain win over the Italians - there was not a
:39:49. > :39:56.recognised striker on the pitch. Cesc Fabregas played furthest
:39:56. > :40:06.forward for most of that game. Exactly. Italy have done a lot of
:40:06. > :40:17.
:40:18. > :40:23.The flag had stayed down. Maggio should really have been putting that
:40:23. > :40:31.away. Maggio makes that run again. Fantastic movement. He stays onside.
:40:31. > :40:39.He does everything right. Again, you have to say an outstanding save.
:40:39. > :40:43.Another let-off for Spain. It has been an incredible first half. Italy
:40:43. > :40:49.have gone after Spain, but they haven't made the most of the superb
:40:49. > :40:53.opportunities that have opened up for them. It is that
:40:53. > :41:03.counter-attacking. Alba turns his back on his opponent and each time
:41:03. > :41:11.
:41:11. > :41:16.he is getting in. Casilla is proving Jose Mourinho wrong slightly. --
:41:16. > :41:20.Casillas is proving Jose Mourinho wrong slightly. Fernando Torres! He
:41:20. > :41:25.did everything right apart from find the target. Great forward play.
:41:25. > :41:28.ball coming from the back, he spins here - look at him - he turns - he
:41:29. > :41:35.does everything but put it in the net. He is coming on to his left
:41:35. > :41:41.foot, but he should hit the target. Hands up who didn't foresee Spain
:41:41. > :41:51.against Italy in a semifinal in this heat being as open as this. I'm one
:41:51. > :42:12.
:42:13. > :42:22.to say at half-time. They have done more defending in the first 37
:42:23. > :42:26.
:42:26. > :42:32.minutes than they have done in the this up. Spain, in effect, have had
:42:32. > :42:35.a day off, playing Tahiti? They have. You can't praise the Italians
:42:35. > :42:41.enough, to be brave enough to absorb all of this pressure and then break
:42:41. > :42:51.with real courage. Italy have had to face Mexico, Japan, who gave them a
:42:51. > :42:56.scare and should have beaten them, and then Brazil. They have also had
:42:56. > :43:06.to change venues, too. They have been edging north. Spain have been
:43:06. > :43:06.
:43:06. > :44:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:44:31. > :44:41.the predominantly Brazilian crowd. Given away by Chiellini. He is back
:44:41. > :44:41.
:44:41. > :45:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:45:34. > :45:43.go, plus whatever Howard Webb adds They have to keep the ball. This is
:45:43. > :45:50.better. Spain not used to this. The team they are playing are getting
:45:50. > :46:00.oles! It's a great run from him again. No Spanish player really
:46:00. > :46:00.
:46:00. > :46:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:46:49. > :46:59.of the advantage that was played, but he ran into a solid Italian
:46:59. > :47:36.
:47:36. > :47:44.the way of it. That was De Rossi. foot. Great technique. The keeper
:47:44. > :47:50.punches it away. The ball was moving again. The ball has been moving all
:47:50. > :47:55.over the place. The Italians, the way they break, they counter-attack
:47:55. > :47:59.with real endeavour. Just the finishing touch at the end of it
:47:59. > :48:02.letting them down. Happy Fortaleza faces inside the stadium. Many of
:48:02. > :48:10.you will have been watching the news and looked at the demonstrations in
:48:10. > :48:15.Brazil. We did have one here. A mile-and-a-half exclusion zone
:48:15. > :48:25.around the stadium so demonstrators were kept away. But the scenes did
:48:25. > :48:25.
:48:25. > :49:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:49:25. > :49:31.get ugly. Brazil is a country that Iniesta, comes back on to his right
:49:31. > :49:37.foot, but just too much for Xavi. His vision was excellent there. He
:49:37. > :49:44.just got too much on it. That is the one thing missing from his CV, a
:49:44. > :49:49.goal in a major tournament. He didn't score at the Confederations
:49:49. > :49:59.Cup four years ago. Not taking anything away from one of the
:49:59. > :50:00.
:50:00. > :50:04.greatest midfielders the game has That is it. Nothing to add on to the
:50:04. > :50:09.end of a thoroughly entertaining first half. Nothing for Fernando
:50:09. > :50:13.Torres to cheer. Plenty for the Italians to be cheered by. All
:50:13. > :50:23.that's been missing from their game is a goal and the lead that they
:50:23. > :50:26.
:50:26. > :50:31.really deserve. Half-time at the Estadio Castelao - Spain 0, Italy 0.
:50:31. > :50:35.Nine shots to Spain's two. Yes, Gary. I'm proud to say we were the
:50:35. > :50:39.better side in the first 45 minutes. I think that we played with no fear,
:50:39. > :50:44.whatsoever. Physically, I think we looked much sharper than them.
:50:44. > :50:47.Certainly, not as tired as we looked in the final of the European
:50:47. > :50:51.Championships two years ago. We had a plan and the plan is working
:50:51. > :50:55.brilliantly. There is no shame in thinking about defending first when
:50:55. > :51:01.you play Spain. We are doing that very well. We have put ten players
:51:01. > :51:06.behind the ball. We are nice and tight. We counter every time.
:51:06. > :51:11.quickly. We are exploring the spaces behind the left backs. They push
:51:11. > :51:17.forward very much. With Candreva and Giaccherini, we are dangerous.
:51:17. > :51:22.for Spain, a shadow of their normal selves. What is missing there, Alan?
:51:22. > :51:27.They look lethargic. You have to put that down to Italy being tactically
:51:27. > :51:31.so aware. Every time a Spain player gets the ball, bang, they are so
:51:31. > :51:35.tight on them. They are letting them have the ball in their own half. As
:51:36. > :51:40.soon as they get over the halfway line, an Italian player closes them
:51:40. > :51:44.down. Italy will be delighted with the way they have played. They will
:51:44. > :51:49.be devastated they haven't put this game to bed. It should be four or
:51:49. > :51:54.five. Are we looking at someone finding the formula to beat Spain?
:51:54. > :51:59.hope so. Certainly, having so many players in the midfield area helps.
:51:59. > :52:04.We have been great at cutting off those killer passes that are
:52:04. > :52:13.normally so dangerous. Every time we win the ball back, we counter. We
:52:13. > :52:18.should have been two goals up. Giaccherini and Maggio... Candreva,
:52:18. > :52:23.Marchisio. The best chance of many went to Maggio, didn't it? A minute
:52:23. > :52:26.later, Torres had a good chance as well. We are thinking they have to
:52:26. > :52:32.score in a minute. The chances that they had. This is probably the best
:52:32. > :52:36.one. This is a sitter. What the left back is doing, I'm not sure. He
:52:36. > :52:42.hasn't got a clue where he is. Maggio should put that in. There is
:52:42. > :52:47.no doubt about that. That is a sitter. I think it is great that
:52:47. > :52:52.when you see a left midfield player, Giaccherini, crosses the ball and
:52:52. > :52:57.the guy on the other flank heads it. This is the danger - you get all
:52:57. > :53:02.these chances and then it comes to that. Torres should score. That is
:53:02. > :53:06.their one and only opportunity, really. We will have a look in the
:53:06. > :53:11.minute, Italy had five or six. Torres did the hard work.
:53:11. > :53:14.brilliant move. Thank God the finishing wasn't as good. I think
:53:14. > :53:18.Spain are awesome. I said that before the match. Sometimes,
:53:18. > :53:22.personally, they can be quite boring. When you see too much
:53:22. > :53:26.preliminaries and not enough penetration. This is what they are
:53:26. > :53:30.doing tonight. They are keeping the ball. There is no end product.
:53:30. > :53:34.been said in the past that Italy can be quite boring. You couldn't say
:53:34. > :53:38.that tonight. They have been exhilarating? Yes. Surprisingly
:53:38. > :53:43.excellent. You sort of wonder whether they will pay the penalty
:53:43. > :53:48.for not taking their chances? did this so well in the first half.
:53:48. > :53:53.At the right time, they hit on the break. It comes to Giaccherini here.
:53:53. > :54:01.He has the option to have a little pass, but he tries to go for the
:54:01. > :54:08.curler. That one doesn't come off. Gilardino has been quite good. He is
:54:08. > :54:14.a predator in the penalty box. He couldn't find the net there.
:54:14. > :54:20.mentioned Maggio - it's a very good run and an excellent save. Casillas
:54:20. > :54:25.has been superb. Yes, he's been brilliant. That is the only
:54:25. > :54:30.disappointment for them. Everything else has been perfect, apart from
:54:30. > :54:37.their finishing. De Rossi, a free header. He should score. Terrible
:54:37. > :54:46.marking! Torres lets him run away from him. He has to score there.
:54:47. > :54:52.This one was Marchisio? Yes, Marchisio as supported Gilardino up
:54:52. > :54:55.front. It is a pity we can't find the back of the net. What we have
:54:55. > :54:59.seen with teams in the past, when ever they get the ball back they
:54:59. > :55:02.look so tired. Not tonight, they are working hard, but not only that,
:55:03. > :55:07.they are getting, they are committing men forward and creating
:55:07. > :55:14.chances. This is what they are doing so well, closing down. All right,
:55:14. > :55:19.they are quite content there. Watch - look, when that ball crosses the
:55:19. > :55:24.halfway line, they close them down. One, two, and when one man leaves
:55:24. > :55:28.his space, there is another man who fills in for him. They have been
:55:28. > :55:33.brilliant at it in the first half. It has frustrated Spain. Closing
:55:33. > :55:38.down there - Pirlo. One there. Another one closes him down there.
:55:38. > :55:48.It's - their attitude is fantastic. They are having to work so hard for
:55:48. > :55:54.it. The ball is switched over. They close them down again. They fill the
:55:54. > :55:58.spaces in. They have been very patient. They win it back. They have
:55:58. > :56:04.been brilliant. The three Italian central defenders play with that
:56:04. > :56:11.system when they play with Juventus. Why does that work for them? We
:56:11. > :56:15.don't see it nowadays that often. They feel more comfortable because
:56:15. > :56:20.one can actually mark the centre forward, the other one can cover and
:56:20. > :56:24.then the third one can always pick up the forward runs that the
:56:24. > :56:28.midfielders make so well. They are nice and compact. The other thing
:56:28. > :56:34.you can do, of course, you can take a little chance and try and pinch
:56:34. > :56:37.the ball. You know there is someone in behind. Absolutely. OK. Looking
:56:37. > :56:47.forward to the second half. In case you missed it, this is how Brazil
:56:47. > :57:15.
:57:16. > :57:23.Forlan against Julio Cesar and 200 million Brazilians! Saved by the
:57:23. > :57:33.keeper. Tempers are frayed. It is a derby and it shows. Great chest
:57:33. > :57:34.
:57:34. > :57:38.control. Fred scores! Brazil 1, Uruguay 0. There was something said
:57:38. > :57:48.to Neymar as he walked off behind him. He said, "I hope you fall
:57:48. > :57:50.
:57:50. > :58:00.over!" Uruguay score! The header is just over the top of the crossbar.
:58:00. > :58:02.
:58:02. > :58:11.That is so close. Paulinho has scored for Brazil. Brazilian joy.
:58:11. > :58:13.Uruguayan despair. Brazil head to Rio, they head to the Maracana, and
:58:13. > :58:17.head home for the Confederations Cup final.
:58:17. > :58:21.If anyone thought this competition was not taken seriously, you should
:58:21. > :58:26.see the reaction of the players there! What's been impressive about
:58:26. > :58:32.this tournament is - last night was more cautious - the goals, the teams
:58:32. > :58:37.are willing to attack and try and get forward as much as possible.
:58:37. > :58:40.Brazil didn't play as well as they have in previous games. But they
:58:40. > :58:44.found a way. That was the most impressive thing about them last
:58:44. > :58:47.night. They were frustrated at times, particularly Neymar. When
:58:47. > :58:51.that happens in a game - it is happening to Spain tonight - the
:58:51. > :58:57.sign of a good team is you have to find a way to win a game. They are
:58:57. > :59:02.not the most flamboyant Brazilian side we have ever seen? No. I think
:59:03. > :59:08.Felipe Scolari is very pragmatic. He doesn't want to show great football.
:59:08. > :59:14.He wants to build a team that can win the World Cup in 2014. They are
:59:14. > :59:19.looking solid. Maybe not as flamboyant, as you were saying, but
:59:19. > :59:24.probably a more successful side in the future. He doesn't mind taking
:59:24. > :59:27.off Neymar and putting on a centre-back, which is something
:59:27. > :59:34.unthinkable for a Brazilian coach. Totally unacceptable! You can see
:59:34. > :59:44.the final of the Confederations Cup here on BBC One on Sunday night. It
:59:44. > :59:55.
:59:55. > :00:05.# Run boy, run # They are trying to catch you
:00:05. > :00:35.
:00:35. > :00:40.There you go. Before that, Wimbledon continues tomorrow morning from
:00:40. > :00:44.11.30am on BBC Two. Andy Murray and Laura Robson will be in action. One
:00:44. > :00:54.of the Premier League's favourite Brazilian imports is President of
:00:54. > :01:00.his boyhood club back home. Steve Wilson caught up with Juninho. Tell
:01:00. > :01:06.us about this club. This is where you started out as a young player.
:01:06. > :01:13.It is a club that gave me the opportunity to make my brilliant
:01:13. > :01:19.career. When I was finishing my career in 2008, the club were
:01:19. > :01:23.without an administration guy. They offered the club for me. I have
:01:23. > :01:29.always supported them since I left. That was a good opportunity for me
:01:29. > :01:36.to start another career. The best part of the football is when you are
:01:36. > :01:45.playing. But age comes, so you have to do another thing. How much did
:01:45. > :01:51.you know about Middlesbrough? much. English football doesn't show
:01:51. > :01:56.in Brazil. Bryan Robson came and talked to me. I trusted his
:01:56. > :02:01.ambition. Did you feel you were doing something new because, at that
:02:01. > :02:06.time, there were not many Brazilians playing in England? A lot of people
:02:06. > :02:12.in Brazil, they always judge me - why are you going to English
:02:12. > :02:16.football? There, they only play the long balls, they play physical
:02:16. > :02:22.games. I don't think you have success. Once you are on the field,
:02:22. > :02:29.I found so many spaces to play. It is not tactical like in Italy, or
:02:29. > :02:39.even in Spain now. Very free game. If you are winning ng 3-0, you want
:02:39. > :02:41.
:02:41. > :02:45.to score four, you want to score five. It is a fantastic league. --
:02:45. > :02:54.if you are winning 3-0, you want to score four, you want to score five.
:02:54. > :03:00.It is a fantastic league. We played good football. We did not always get
:03:00. > :03:10.the result we wanted. COMMENTARY: It's in! That whole
:03:10. > :03:18.
:03:18. > :03:22.season, '9 /'97, it was fantastic. All good memories. -- '96/'97, it
:03:22. > :03:28.was fantastic. You did win the League Cup with Middlesbrough.
:03:28. > :03:32.was my ambition. Surely, winning the World Cup would beat everything?
:03:33. > :03:37.always said it means a lot to me, especially when you feel more part
:03:37. > :03:42.of the title. In the World Cup, I was playing the first four games and
:03:42. > :03:49.then I was out, then I played, like, the last 15 minutes in the final.
:03:49. > :03:54.The other titles, I could feel more involved in the games so the old
:03:54. > :04:01.titles are important. I would take 15 seconds in the final! LAUGHTER Is
:04:01. > :04:04.he making a case for the League Cup over the World Cup? I hope not!
:04:04. > :04:12.Second half coming up. What do you think Spain will do to change the
:04:12. > :04:18.way they are playing? We have hardly seen Silva or Pedro at all. If it
:04:18. > :04:24.stays the same, I would change one of those two and bring Fabregas on,
:04:24. > :04:34.or Soldado to add some penetration. As for Italy, more of the same?
:04:34. > :04:36.
:04:36. > :04:43.of the same. Same tactics. I think if we - I can see Montolivo coming
:04:43. > :04:48.on for Pirlo. They have to pass it as well. It looks like they are
:04:48. > :04:55.getting themselves prepared for the second half, so let's re-join Martin
:04:55. > :05:05.and Guy. Thanks, Gary. We are having a change
:05:05. > :05:06.
:05:06. > :05:11.for the start of the second half. I wonder if it will mean a change in
:05:11. > :05:21.system. Andrea Barzagli is going off and Riccardo Montolivo will be
:05:21. > :05:22.
:05:23. > :05:28.coming on. It looks as if De Rossi will play in the middle. It will be
:05:28. > :05:36.Italy to get the second half started. They will want to carry on
:05:36. > :05:41.from where they left off. He has dropped back, hasn't he? He will
:05:41. > :05:47.play in the middle of that three. It shows the flexibility of his play.
:05:47. > :05:52.Montolivo is an excellent player. He should have been on from the start.
:05:52. > :05:57.Pirlo is carrying on. De Rossi does play there. That is where he started
:05:57. > :06:04.the final, not the final, but the group game between Spain and Italy,
:06:04. > :06:14.the 1-1 draw last year. They shouldn't really have lost much.
:06:14. > :06:16.
:06:16. > :06:22.can see from that pass, he is already showing his passing ability.
:06:22. > :06:29.He suggested his players should go much wider. He will want a big
:06:29. > :06:39.improvement. The Italian coach will be delighted with the first half
:06:39. > :06:39.
:06:39. > :06:44.performance. He has a big smile on his face, Cesare Prandelli. Del
:06:44. > :06:49.Bosque had lots to say because he continued right the way through to
:06:49. > :06:55.his team taking the field. Yes, interesting how he wanted to have a
:06:55. > :06:59.closer word with his players in the tunnel. They were lethargic in the
:06:59. > :07:02.first half. They need to move the ball much quicker. It is interesting
:07:02. > :07:07.Alonso not playing tonight. There is is a lack of variation to their
:07:07. > :07:11.play. Thinking back to last year, he was hitting 30-yard passes all of
:07:11. > :07:21.the time and there is no-one in the team at the moment to do that.
:07:21. > :07:28.
:07:28. > :07:36.Alonso was ruled out with a groin the intensity at which they played
:07:36. > :07:46.in first 45 minutes. That is the challenge. Spain need an injection,
:07:46. > :07:46.
:07:46. > :08:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:08:41. > :08:51.a reverse pass. Torres sees him. You expect him to pull it back, but he
:08:51. > :08:51.
:08:51. > :10:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:10:59. > :11:05.themselves, they could pull off a course, for such a long time, Italy
:11:06. > :11:10.were a more dominant force than Spain in world football. Yeah, but
:11:10. > :11:16.now the Spanish are just amazing to watch. Tonight, they don't look like
:11:16. > :11:22.they are up for it. We expect them to get better. I wonder if that
:11:22. > :11:32.change might be Manchester City for Manchester City. Jesus Navas about
:11:32. > :12:09.
:12:09. > :12:19.typifies everything that is good about this Italian team tonight.
:12:19. > :12:23.
:12:23. > :12:31.There is good quality at the end of The man who plan city have just
:12:31. > :12:39.signed from Sevilla, somewhere in the region of �15 million. A player
:12:39. > :12:49.who didn't score in La Liga last season. I think he will be getting
:12:49. > :12:59.
:12:59. > :13:04.down that side, rather than coming change, so early in the second half.
:13:04. > :13:11.Vicente del Bosque has waited to see what Italy are doing. He wants to
:13:11. > :13:21.attack with a bit more width and here he goes now. Jesus Navas on the
:13:21. > :13:23.
:13:23. > :13:33.move. Kept at baby Chiellini. Chiellini will know he is in a game
:13:33. > :13:40.
:13:40. > :13:46.now. -- Kept at bay by Chiellini. Chiellini will know he is in a game
:13:46. > :13:51.now. This is their first corner of the match. Unbelievable.Italy have
:13:51. > :13:56.not defended all that well from set pieces in this tournament. Sergio
:13:56. > :14:02.Ramos was on his way back down to ground and Chiellini takes issue
:14:02. > :14:06.with him, thinking about asking for something there. It all ends well.
:14:06. > :14:16.Strangely in this tournament, you haven't seen the same aggression
:14:16. > :14:39.
:14:39. > :14:49.from the Italians. He is appealing you, comfortably? Does it?It will
:14:49. > :14:50.
:14:50. > :15:00.be an Italy free keening. -- free-kick. Gilardino was lucky to
:15:00. > :15:24.
:15:24. > :15:29.ground on Chiellini, who had ten yards head start. He did. How about
:15:29. > :15:39.the technique from the goalkeeper? It all starts with him. A fantastic
:15:39. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :16:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:16:41. > :16:50.delivery. A free-kick at the other Italians high up the pitch. They
:16:51. > :16:54.
:16:54. > :17:04.have so much respect for them, they head injury which forced him off
:17:04. > :17:04.
:17:04. > :17:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:17:48. > :17:57.a good strike. Buffon getting down well to it. It was that straight
:17:57. > :18:00.pass from Busquets, into Pedro, down the middle of their team. Think of
:18:00. > :18:06.the two goalkeepers involved tonight. 277 international games
:18:06. > :18:11.between them. Make it 279 after this. Incredible.They have been the
:18:11. > :18:17.two best for quite a few years now. They are a credit to both their
:18:17. > :18:27.nations. Tonight, Jose Mourinho, what I have seen of Casillas, he
:18:27. > :18:27.
:18:27. > :19:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:19:56. > :20:06.well to leave that jacket on, in this temperature! Vicente del Bosque
:20:06. > :20:38.
:20:38. > :20:43.likewise. I don't suppose he dare pass, he overhits it, Pedro. This is
:20:43. > :20:47.possibly one of the more animated games I have seen from del Bosque.
:20:47. > :20:53.He has a military approach at times. He never looks at the players when
:20:53. > :21:03.they come off the pitch. He knows how he wants to win football
:21:03. > :21:39.
:21:39. > :21:49.there. Navas is up against Chiellini. Chiellini did enough.
:21:49. > :21:49.
:21:49. > :22:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:22:56. > :23:06.ground. A great chance for the spotting Jordi Alba when he goes.

:23:06. > :23:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:23:58. > :24:02.Alba thought he was being held He lacked the finish. It certainly
:24:02. > :24:09.opened up for him. We know this guy can pass the ball. What a runner
:24:09. > :24:19.with the ball as well. He doesn't hit the target. Just way wide with
:24:19. > :24:28.

:24:51. > :24:59.back to his feet. It is a free-kick for Spain. I would like to see this
:24:59. > :25:04.again. Handball. De Rossi uses his arm there. He catches him. He used
:25:04. > :25:08.his arm twice! Yeah.That is the first booking of the match. De
:25:08. > :25:16.Rossi, who was also booked in the first two games, which forced him to
:25:16. > :25:21.miss the Brazil game last weekend. Every game a card. Yellow cards were
:25:21. > :25:27.wiped from the record after the group stage, so no danger of him
:25:27. > :25:34.missing the final, unless he gets another one today. Of course, that
:25:34. > :25:42.is if Italy get to the final. There is a third-fourth play-off on
:25:42. > :25:52.Saturday in sal va doR. Uruguay lie in wait for the losers of this game.
:25:52. > :26:16.
:26:16. > :26:21.-- Salvador. Uruguay lie in wait for Buffon was ready for that. This
:26:21. > :26:25.time, much more variation in their play. They are going one side, then
:26:25. > :26:31.the other, and playing longer passes. When they come back there is
:26:31. > :26:41.more space available. That was Arbeloa who got across from right
:26:41. > :26:45.
:26:45. > :26:55.back to stop Marchisio. Marchisio was hurt by that. He catched him on
:26:55. > :26:58.
:26:58. > :27:06.the heel. I mentioned the third-fourth play-off. We have the
:27:06. > :27:10.final itself on BBC One at 10.25pm on Sunday night. It is a later
:27:10. > :27:15.kick-off. On Saturday, that third-fourth play-off you will be
:27:15. > :27:25.able to see on the BBC Sport website. That is a 5.00pm kick-off

:27:43. > :27:46.your time at home. That is also on here. He is OK to carry on for now.
:27:46. > :27:55.Italy will carry on with ten for now. We are getting to the stage at

:28:05. > :28:34.
:28:34. > :28:38.stage - they were playing with ten. Marchisio is back on the field and
:28:38. > :28:48.Gerard Pique in front of him. in the nick of time as well from

:29:32. > :29:39.When you get it right, it is a great feeling to deny a striker that goal

:29:49. > :29:56.
:29:56. > :30:06.character, personality. There is not a great deal between the two teams.
:30:06. > :30:27.

:30:37. > :30:59.
:31:00. > :31:09.come Maggio's way. Italy are still on the front foot. We keep talking
:31:10. > :31:22.
:31:22. > :31:28.about how good Spain are. How good CROWD: Ole! Ole!
:31:28. > :31:32.It is a free-kick for Italy. Maggio does brilliantly there. Look at
:31:32. > :31:42.this. You think Alba is going to win that all day long. Well done,
:31:42. > :32:04.
:32:04. > :32:10.the box again. Not sure it was a this to go. It usually goes where he
:32:10. > :32:18.wants it to. In from Pirlo. It is a beauty. It needed that defensive
:32:18. > :32:28.header. Gerard Pique heads it behind. A fantastic ball in again.
:32:28. > :32:46.
:32:46. > :32:56.something the Spanish don't seem to respect in the game. They are not

:34:37. > :34:47.said he will always pick him! testing that statement, isn't he?
:34:47. > :34:51.
:34:51. > :35:01.Pirlo nearly got it through. He with the first half, Italy are
:35:01. > :35:02.
:35:02. > :35:07.shading this. They need that goal. They would have had one if they had
:35:07. > :35:17.been a bit better in front of goal. If Mario Balotelli was here tonight,
:35:17. > :35:25.
:35:25. > :35:30.you might have seen something right on the line. There will be
:35:30. > :35:36.plenty of full-backs in the Premier League looking forward to seeing him
:35:36. > :35:46.next year(!) Somebody who has terrified a few over the last couple
:35:46. > :35:58.
:35:58. > :36:02.of years is Juan Mata. He is coming running into those channels. He is
:36:02. > :36:08.asking those centre halves to come out and deal with him. He has done
:36:08. > :36:13.exceptionally well tonight. Loads of noise around the Estadio Castelao.
:36:13. > :36:23.The flags are waving. They are being waved in support of the Azzurri,
:36:23. > :37:01.
:37:01. > :37:06.Gilardino caught on the wrong foot. He wasn't expecting it, was he?
:37:06. > :37:13.Goodness me, what is it with Spain tonight? Is it something they have
:37:13. > :37:23.eaten? Is it the weather? They don't seem to be themselves tonight.
:37:23. > :37:41.
:37:41. > :37:51.have been on the same prawns we have tournament has gone on. They are
:37:51. > :37:51.
:37:51. > :38:01.going to make a change as well. Alberto Aquilani is ready, the
:38:01. > :38:01.
:38:01. > :38:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:38:53. > :39:01.changes to happen. Torres is allowed Pedro's last involvement. On will
:39:01. > :39:11.come Chelsea's Juan Mata. He scored the eighth against Tahiti last week.
:39:11. > :39:29.
:39:29. > :39:36.Also scored in that Euro 2012 final. change, rather. We are seeing
:39:36. > :39:42.Marchisio make way for Aquilani. A man who played just 18 times in the
:39:42. > :39:52.Premier League for Liverpool. He cost �20 million from Roma. Seems
:39:52. > :39:52.
:39:52. > :41:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:41:44. > :41:54.Aquilani - for me, that makes them a That is an example of how much this
:41:54. > :41:55.
:41:55. > :42:00.heat has taken out of the players. England won't want to be drawn here
:42:00. > :42:09.if they qualify. They didn't have seasons up near the equator. It is
:42:09. > :42:18.pretty much hot all year-round. The temperature never changes here.
:42:18. > :42:28.call it "winter" is a step too far. It seems to get muggier as night
:42:28. > :42:28.
:42:28. > :44:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:44:19. > :44:25.forward anymore. They just want to again. Pique and Ramos are the
:44:25. > :44:31.ultimate blockers. Here's Torres. The game is getting stretched.
:44:31. > :44:40.Torres, he had to stretch. That was Pique. Where did he come from? It
:44:40. > :44:47.needed to be Torres! It was Torres at the start of the move. Lots of
:44:47. > :44:50.endeavour. He gets his foot in. He comes across the goal. There is your
:44:50. > :44:56.centre half making all the ground up. Should be doing better, but good
:44:56. > :45:06.defending at the end of it. That is what you need. You need someone to
:45:06. > :45:44.
:45:44. > :45:48.commit from the back. Something has bright spark for them. I would have
:45:48. > :45:52.liked him to pass that one. Is it stretched now? It is. I think the
:45:52. > :45:57.Spanish will be better served in pressing the Italians higher up the
:45:57. > :46:07.pitch. They are allowing them into the final third and their defending
:46:07. > :46:11.
:46:11. > :46:20.their last two games. They are keeping out the World Champions in
:46:21. > :46:30.this one. The first time they have conceded three or more in successive
:46:31. > :46:35.
:46:35. > :46:45.again. Excellent movement. Pique has a problem. He is still sitting down
:46:45. > :46:48.
:46:48. > :46:54.in his own penalty area. Aquilani penalised here. That is why. A bit
:46:54. > :47:01.of a hack on Arbeloa. Definite. The referee was right on top of it.
:47:01. > :47:10.Arbeloa is OK. But Pique isn't. is his header, just as he clears
:47:10. > :47:20.that. I think he almost trips over himself and caught his ankle.
:47:20. > :47:22.
:47:22. > :47:32.wife is concerned! She certainly is. He's recovered quickly. He just
:47:32. > :47:49.
:47:49. > :47:59.wanted a rest after going on that moment. Pique is still not right,
:47:59. > :48:08.
:48:08. > :48:18.They have kept their shape all night. Three at the back is working
:48:18. > :48:18.
:48:18. > :49:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:49:43. > :49:48.them a goal, but it gave them lots hit the shot into the ground.
:49:48. > :49:54.Navas's pace down that right-hand side. Torres heads it back in. Just
:49:54. > :50:00.can't get enough on it. It is a difficult bouncing ball. We are
:50:00. > :50:08.heading towards last-chance territory. Italy look as though they
:50:08. > :50:18.will be more than happy to have the extra 30 minutes. Survival of the
:50:18. > :50:18.
:50:18. > :51:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:51:04. > :51:10.fittest tonight. Torres in too really hot here. Italy showing us
:51:10. > :51:14.their intentions. The last Confederations Cup game to go to
:51:14. > :51:24.extra time involved Spain four years ago. It was the third-fourth match
:51:24. > :51:32.against South Africa, which they won 3-2 in the end. You can't fault the
:51:32. > :51:36.preparation of the Italian players. They look fitter. Incredibly, in
:51:36. > :51:46.major tournaments, that 4-0 win last year is the only time Spain have
:51:46. > :51:53.
:51:53. > :52:00.is Italy who look more likely to here. The flag is up. It wouldn't
:52:00. > :52:08.have counted. I don't think Gilardino had the energy to put it
:52:08. > :52:18.in! The linesman has done fantastically well again. I think
:52:18. > :52:24.
:52:24. > :52:29.Gilardino has cramp. One sub left per side. I haven't seen anything of
:52:29. > :52:32.the exciting Milan talent, Stephan El Shaarawy, apart from a token
:52:32. > :52:42.appearance in the last game. We might be seeing him tonight. The big
:52:42. > :52:42.
:52:42. > :53:28.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:53:28. > :53:32.is down. This might be that ball in. They are probing runs he makes.
:53:32. > :53:42.do they send? Pique is going. Sergio Ramos is going. Busquets is already
:53:42. > :54:14.
:54:14. > :54:19.Italian head. There won't be time for the corner. There will be 30
:54:19. > :54:23.extra minutes in Fortaleza. Brazil still don't know who they are
:54:23. > :54:26.playing in the final of the 2013 Confederations Cup. Never mind the
:54:26. > :54:31.fact there haven't been any goals. It has been a very good watch.
:54:31. > :54:38.Hopefully, it will continue to be for the next half-hour. At
:54:38. > :54:45.full-time, it is Spain 0, Italy 0. Six games they have played in the
:54:45. > :54:50.group stages, 43 goals between them! It's been a fascinating battle. Not
:54:51. > :54:59.quite such good football from Italy in the second half. It's anyone's
:54:59. > :55:04.game? Yes, absolutely. The second half hasn't been - it's been
:55:04. > :55:08.unforgettable. We are still playing very well. Spain, I don't know what
:55:08. > :55:12.is happening to them. The second half, they played the Italian way.
:55:12. > :55:17.They tried to do to us what we did to them in the first half. They
:55:17. > :55:21.defended very deep. They waited. Then they tried to play
:55:21. > :55:28.counter-attacking football. We have been very good. Organised. Sharp.
:55:28. > :55:37.Solid. Good football from the Italians. I would echo that. It's
:55:37. > :55:41.sort of petered away in the second half. One great chance at the end or
:55:41. > :55:45.five minutes before the end for Pique. Other than that, chances were
:55:45. > :55:53.few and far between. I should tell you we will hang on for extra time!
:55:53. > :55:59.The news will follow us, when ever that may be. It could go to
:55:59. > :56:06.penalties! Pique was involved in the two most notable moments of the
:56:06. > :56:11.second half. Defensively sound. Very good tackle there. Good block. He is
:56:11. > :56:16.where he should be. He reads the game very well. It's a good block,
:56:16. > :56:25.isn't it? Gets in front and stops the ball from going towards the
:56:25. > :56:29.goal. You talked about this counter-attack? Yeah. He sprinted
:56:29. > :56:32.for about 80 yards and he finds himself in the centre forward
:56:32. > :56:39.position. He is not a centre forward. You need a centre forward
:56:39. > :56:43.there. He is capable, though. You would have fancied him there?
:56:43. > :56:48.chance. That was the only chance of the second half. The guys out there
:56:48. > :56:54.have talked about the draining conditions, the heat. That will take
:56:54. > :56:58.its toll in extra time. We often see - it is almost survival at the end?
:56:58. > :57:02.Absolutely. That is why I don't think it is particularly important
:57:02. > :57:06.to win the Confederations Cup. What was important was to be there.
:57:06. > :57:09.Brazil hasn't hosted an international tournament since 1950
:57:09. > :57:13.and to be there is a great experience. It is a great
:57:13. > :57:19.opportunity to test out the facility, the stadiums, the
:57:19. > :57:25.atmosphere. More importantly, the weather conditions. And the
:57:25. > :57:34.possibility to recover. We have a great advantage compared to England
:57:34. > :57:37.or Germany. What will show you now is - the difference between Spain's
:57:37. > :57:42.first game against Uruguay where when they lose the ball they press
:57:42. > :57:48.so high to win this ball back, three or four occasions here. They lose it
:57:48. > :57:52.again. Watch how hard they work. Every man is closing that ball down.
:57:52. > :57:56.We have said it that that is a big part of their game, getting the ball
:57:56. > :57:58.back, not only when they have the ball, but getting it back. This is
:57:58. > :58:03.tonight. Look at the difference tonight. The reason this is
:58:03. > :58:10.happening, Gary, is the first thing is respect to Italy. They have
:58:10. > :58:15.caused them problems. The second is this is their fourth game in ten
:58:15. > :58:20.days. It is impossible to keep that tempo up. And the third is their
:58:20. > :58:25.system wasn't really working. They have tried to draw Italy on, on to
:58:25. > :58:29.them. Look at this. There is no pressure on the ball there. Italy
:58:29. > :58:33.are knocking it around at will. And they are causing one or two
:58:33. > :58:42.problems. What do you think the difference is in a year between
:58:42. > :58:46.these two sides? This time, Italy have had the edge, certainly the
:58:46. > :58:50.first half? It is mainly physical. I mean, in modern football, you need
:58:50. > :58:54.to be at your best physically if you want to compete, otherwise you look
:58:54. > :58:58.second best all the time. Physically, we are sharper than them
:58:58. > :59:03.tonight. We weren't about a year ago. Also, I think, the system that
:59:03. > :59:08.we are using tonight suits Italy very well and doesn't suit Spain. If
:59:08. > :59:15.you have the knowledge, and the players, to play with five at the
:59:15. > :59:22.back is a good way to stop them from scoring goals and creating the
:59:22. > :59:31.scoring opportunities. If you crowd the spaces, they have nowhere to go.
:59:31. > :59:38.Who do you suspect Giovinco will come on for? Gilardino. Giovinco is
:59:38. > :59:41.in place of the main striker. is where strong minds come into it.
:59:41. > :59:47.I still believe, although they haven't played anywhere near as good
:59:47. > :59:51.as they can do, I still believe that great teams - and Spain are a great
:59:51. > :59:55.team - they find a way to win games, whether that is in extra time,
:59:55. > :00:01.whether that is in penalties. I still believe that a big opportunity
:00:01. > :00:07.will come along for Spain. I agree with Alan. Also, Italian teams, if
:00:07. > :00:11.they are not great, they can find a way. We watched Italy in the first
:00:11. > :00:16.three games and they were all over the place defensively. There is
:00:16. > :00:20.something about Italy, when they play against good sides, they do
:00:20. > :00:25.seem to find something? Yeah, we don't like to be the favourite. We
:00:25. > :00:31.like to be the... Underdog?Exactly. When we are the underdog, we feel
:00:32. > :00:35.less pressure. We can play football, which is defend first and then
:00:35. > :00:39.counter-attack. Tonight, we are doing that very well. It is a big
:00:39. > :00:43.pity we couldn't score in the first half. Confirmation of that
:00:43. > :00:50.substitute. At least, our officials are adjusting to the climate and
:00:50. > :00:57.getting used to things in Brazil! Spinning up for the second half, the
:00:57. > :01:07.two goalkeepers, the captains of Spain and Italy. Let's get back to
:01:07. > :01:41.
:01:41. > :01:51.goal at this tournament. He scored what proved to be the 86th minute
:01:51. > :01:53.
:01:54. > :01:58.against Japan in that 4-3 win. a tactical point of view, it is
:01:58. > :02:04.interesting. You can't give the Italian's manager enough praise. He
:02:04. > :02:14.has used most of his squad. Tonight, his tactics are spot on. Who has the
:02:14. > :02:18.
:02:18. > :02:28.when you think about Sunday's final. These two teams playing a day later
:02:28. > :03:06.
:03:06. > :03:11.and going the full distance. They somewhere. Out comes Buffon. Good
:03:11. > :03:19.goalkeeping. He reacted well as well. He was decisive with the
:03:19. > :03:28.punch. Spain's third and final change is iminnocented. Javi
:03:28. > :03:38.Martinez is stripped and ready. -- change is imminent. Javi Martinez is
:03:38. > :03:38.
:03:38. > :04:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds
:04:29. > :04:39.Giaccherini doesn't play from the start for his club side. And he is
:04:39. > :04:52.
:04:52. > :05:02.fantastic ball across the goal. He's clumped it! He does well to keep
:05:02. > :05:11.
:05:11. > :05:21.is off and Javi Martinez is on. Interesting that we have got both
:05:21. > :05:27.
:05:27. > :05:33.teams out there without an Giaccherini. It will be a Spain
:05:33. > :05:37.free-kick. That is the news here in Fortaleza. If you are expecting to
:05:37. > :05:47.see the news, that will follow the outcome of this Confederations Cup
:05:47. > :06:07.
:06:07. > :06:10.aid of a deflection. Pique might have done better. Look at the
:06:11. > :06:20.determination of these defenders to get in the way of the shot. He skies
:06:21. > :06:57.
:06:57. > :07:02.time. It needs to. It is a lot to ask for these players, at the end of
:07:02. > :07:12.a very long season for their club sides. Javi Martinez is full of
:07:12. > :07:40.
:07:40. > :07:46.Terrific stuff from Daniele De Rossi. That is Pique again. Total
:07:46. > :07:55.commitment. Just misses that one. In the end, it is great defending from
:07:55. > :08:00.Daniele De Rossi. Just scuffs it. did hit the hand of Chiellini. Mata
:08:00. > :08:08.has it over. Comes for Sergio Ramos. All the chances are falling to the
:08:08. > :08:16.boys from the back! They are the ones with character. They are
:08:16. > :08:20.staggering around the box. It's a poor finish in the end. This is the
:08:20. > :08:29.first one. Comes off his hand. Would have been a bit unfair to give a
:08:29. > :08:39.penalty there. De Rossi sees the danger. De Rossi pulling down his
:08:39. > :09:16.
:09:16. > :09:22.the post. The keeper has no chance. He scored his first two
:09:22. > :09:29.international goals in recent weeks - one against Brazil and one after
:09:29. > :09:39.16 seconds against Haiti. The fastest-ever Italy goal. He has
:09:39. > :09:39.

:37:41. > :37:48.one - Giaccherini smashes it as hard as he can. Good strike. Unlucky.
:37:48. > :37:56.Then after that, it was Spain, wasn't it? Pique was involved in one
:37:56. > :38:02.or two. He seemed to be everywhere. Chances from set pieces. Great
:38:02. > :38:07.spirit from Italy, hanging on? Absolutely. We were the better side
:38:07. > :38:15.in the first half. It was even in the second half. Extra time, they
:38:15. > :38:25.had the upper hand. We looked knackered! Good English! That is

:38:34. > :38:38.player, but is the space. A space that has to be attacked. Yeah. It
:38:39. > :38:45.was very similar to a game they played in the Euros in the semifinal

:38:55. > :39:02.they won the penalty shoot-out. we see Pirlo's dink tonight? This
:39:02. > :39:11.was brilliant. Lovely little flick. Anyone who doesn't understand how
:39:11. > :39:16.quick Navas is... He is a whip et! He was quick. Great credit to both
:39:16. > :39:20.teams. They went at it from the first minute. Italy had the best of
:39:20. > :39:25.the first half. They should have scored goals. Three or four at
:39:25. > :39:33.least. They didn't. Spain came into it. Both goalkeepers made vital

:40:31. > :40:37.where you were going to put it before the game? Before the game.
:40:37. > :40:42.were all like that. We have talked about this over the years. That is
:40:43. > :40:49.the thing, pick your corner, or practice it. The players should know
:40:49. > :40:52.which side they are going to put the penalty now. There are always
:40:52. > :40:59.players that are involved that don't anticipate the fact that they might
:40:59. > :41:08.have to take a penalty? You have two experienced goalkeepers. Very good
:41:08. > :41:15.penalty savers. They have both had their moments. Howard Webb will take
:41:15. > :41:24.us through it. He has been good tonight. He's had a good game.
:41:24. > :41:31.good time to hand back. It looks like we are getting ready.
:41:31. > :41:35.Yes, we are about ready. Gianluigi Buffon - he is not having to be
:41:35. > :41:41.helped towards the goal by his team-mates. He is looking for a show
:41:41. > :41:51.of support and togetherness! If you were going to pick a goalkeeper for
:41:51. > :41:51.
:41:51. > :41:56.a penalty shoot-out, Spain would go with him, Casillas every time. Italy
:41:56. > :42:03.have no choice - Buffon is the man. The two captains are going to play a
:42:03. > :42:13.huge part in deciding who goes on to the Maracana on Sunday, if they have
:42:13. > :42:21.
:42:21. > :42:26.the energy, to take on Brazil in the belief. We have one man on each side
:42:26. > :42:34.who thrilled us and maybe disappointed us, too, in penalty
:42:34. > :42:38.shoot-outs a year ago. Sergio Ramos obliged with a lovely chip in the
:42:38. > :42:48.semifinal shoot-out against Portugal. Andrea Pirlo had done the
:42:48. > :42:51.
:42:51. > :43:01.same against England. First to step up to the shooting gallery is
:43:01. > :43:17.
:43:17. > :43:27.one of those cheeky chips. Quality! The arrogance of the man. Follow
:43:27. > :43:32.
:43:32. > :43:42.that. Beautiful.No doubt who the support of the stadium is for. It is
:43:42. > :43:53.

:44:03. > :44:29.
:44:29. > :44:33.the crowd there. He took it in his guessed right but Aquilani got it
:44:33. > :44:43.just right. The keeper has gone the right side. He's just beaten by the
:44:43. > :44:50.
:44:50. > :45:00.pace. A very good penalty again. Andres Iniesta. A man who shone at
:45:00. > :45:07.
:45:07. > :45:17.the Euros. A man who won the World result. Plenty of pace and accuracy.
:45:17. > :45:21.

:45:31. > :45:46.
:45:46. > :45:52.noticeable how much quieter the is no saving that one. He lifts it.
:45:52. > :45:56.It is almost impossible to save that. The man who could barely walk
:45:57. > :46:06.for periods of extra time, Gerard Pique. He's been struggling with
:46:07. > :46:07.
:46:07. > :46:17.cramp. He's soldiered on through. Can he make it three out of three
:46:17. > :46:21.
:46:21. > :46:29.all round. Love it. I said before he is a winner. The manager has trust
:46:29. > :46:33.in him. I hope you are enjoying this. Andy muRpry has been watching.
:46:33. > :46:37.-- Andy Murray has been watching. He can't believe it's finished 0-0. We

:46:47. > :47:03.
:47:03. > :47:12.him in the final this year, and win right in the corner. These penalties
:47:12. > :47:21.are of the highest order. Sergio Ramos is next. Against Portugal, he
:47:21. > :47:31.went down the middle. Candreva has already done that. It is a real test
:47:31. > :47:49.
:47:49. > :47:57.technique. Now we are at sudden death. Four out of four. I lost one
:47:57. > :48:07.of these shoot-outs in a UEFA Cup Final. The noise level was
:48:07. > :48:15.
:48:15. > :48:19.ridiculous. The locals want Italy to into the corner, too. An incredible
:48:19. > :48:26.show of mental strength from the players of both teams. You couldn't
:48:26. > :48:36.place that better with your hand. Unbelievable. You would think he was

:49:00. > :49:00.
:49:00. > :49:06.So positive. The goalkeepers aren't getting anywhere near any of them.

:52:38. > :52:44.We saw 12 penalties. Bonucci stepped forward and it was high and - it

:52:48. > :52:53.penalties were wonderful. Great standard. It bodes well for Italy in
:52:53. > :52:57.the World Cup, a year on? Yes, I think so. I was saying before, it's
:52:57. > :53:02.been a great experience to be in Brazil a year before the World Cup
:53:02. > :53:07.starts. There are so many things we needed to find out. Now we know

:53:11. > :53:19.trophies more often than not have to win penalty shoot-outs. They did it
:53:19. > :53:25.a year or two ago. Done it again tonight. OK. That is about it. We
