Anomali Italia Menantang Kemapanan Jerman

VIVAbola - Selain Spanyol versus Portugal, semifinal Piala Eropa 2012 juga akan menghadirkan pertarungan Jerman kontra Italia. Sengit, kata itu rasanya cukup pas untuk menggambarkan pertemuan kedua tim nanti. Jerman datang ke kejuaraan sepakbola antarbangsa benua biru dengan modal kepercayaan diri tinggi. Lolos dari babak kualifikasi dengan mencatat rekor kemenangan 100 persen, Die Mannschaft disebut-sebut menjadi unggulan utama di turnamen ini bersama Spanyol.

Di putaran final ini Der Panzer membuktikan keperkasaannya. Mereka menjadi satu-satunya tim yang sukses mengantongi tiga kemenangan di babak Grup. Anak-anak asuh Joachim Loew juga tercatat sebagai tim paling produktif  sampai perempatfinal dengan mencetak sembilan gol. Sementara Italia mendarat di Polandia-Ukraina dengan membawa segudang keragu-raguan. Kekalahan yang diraih dalam tiga laga ujicoba terakhir membuat banyak kalangan pesimistis Gli Azzurri bisa lolos dari Grup C yang dihuni Spanyol, Kroasia dan Republik Irlandia.

Belum lagi persiapan mereka juga sempat terganggu oleh skandal pengaturan skor di kompetisi lokal. Atas persoalan itu bahkan Cesare Prandelli terpaksa mencoret  Domenico Criscito dari skuadnya.

Sejarah Memihak Italia

Satu hal yang bisa membuat Italia sedikit menepuk dada saat berjumpa Jerman adalah fakta sejarah. Dari 17 pertemuan, La Nazionale telah 10 kali membuat pasukan Die Nationalelf bertekuk lutut. Sementara Jerman baru empat kali unggul atas Italia.  Sedangkan sisanya berkesudahan imbang. Belum cukup sampai di situ. Jerman juga selalu gagal mengalahkan Italia selama 17 tahun belakangan,  terakhir mereka mampu menang 2-0 di laga ujicoba pada 1995 silam.

Italia sendiri terakhir kali menekuk Jerman di  semifinal Piala Dunia 2006. Pada duel di Signal-Iduna- Park, Dortmund, Jerman tersebut, Italia yang keluar sebagai juara mengandaskan mimpi tuan rumah melaju ke laga puncak setelah Fabio Grosso dan Alessandro Del Piero mengoyak jala gawang Jens Lehmann  di ujung babak kedua waktu ekstra.

"Jerman takut pada kami. Mereka tahu kami bisa menciptakan masalah. Semangat ini sama seperti pada 2006. Kami berada satu tingkatan dengan Spanyol," ujar  Andrea Pirlo penuh keyakinan. Sadar timnya berada di bawah bayang-bayang kelam, Joachim Loew selaku pelatih meminta para pemain tidak memikirkan catatan buruk itu. Dia ingin seluruh tim fokus ke laga yang akan dihadapi.

"Kita tidak bisa kembali ke masa lalu. Lupakan hal itu. Masa lalu tidak akan memiliki peran apapun dalam rencana kami," ujar Loew. "Statistik menggambarkan jika Jerman tidak pernah menang setiap melawan Italia di turnamen besar. Lalu apa salahnya? Situasi saat ini sangat berbeda dan hal itu tidak terlalu menjadi perhatian bagi kami,"  sambungnya.

Realizing his team was under a shadow, as coach Joachim Loew asks the players do not think it's a bad record. He wants the focus to match the whole team to be faced. "We can not go back to the past. Forget it. The past will not have any role in our plans," said Loew. "The statistics describe if Germany had not won any tournament against Italy at large. So what's the harm? The situation today is very different and it does not really a concern for us," he continued.
