The former Spanish International Xavi Hernandez made a curious comparison, commenting on the upcoming rival of `La Fury` of the European semifinals in France, Italy. The former player of Barcelona expressed the view that the style of Italy resembles a bit of the Catalans and Atletico Madrid.
`It seems we are doomed to face against each other. Both selections have bad luck because this match adviced by football tips comes too soon. It could be a semi-final or a final.`, Xavi started.
`I think it would be an interesting fight. Spain will dominate because Italy won`t want to do it. The difference between the two teams is that Spain is suffering, when I snap, while Italy - not. They like the battle. It was the worst possible opponent who could fall to Spain. We have beaten them, but we`ve always felt that I might lose. It will be difficult for Spain on Monday.`, continued Xavi.
`The style of Italy slightly resembles that of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid lightly. The Italians are a tough opponent, especially on an opponent, who wants to pursue a high pick.`, added Hernandez.

Hamren is disappointed
The coach of Sweden, Erik Hamren, did not hide his disappointment after the team`s 1:1 draw against the Republic of Ireland in the first match analyzed by fixedsoccerpicks of the group E of Euro 2016.
`I feel more disappointment than relief that we reached the draw.`, said Hamren after the derby.
Three minutes into the second half gave the advance Hulahan Wes Irish and in the 71st minute Kieran Clark of the Clovers scored an own goal, which was first a hit in their door in the League.
`We are definitely not happy with the first 50 minutes of the match. Ireland played better. Our game in attack wasn`t good enough, and in the first half, it was pretty weak. The strikers needed support, and in the first 50 minutes, they didn`t get one. Ireland defended well and managed to keep Ibrahimovic. Then we had a few scoring opportunities, and Ibrahimovic was involved in the goals for the 1:1.`, added the coach.
`We lost the game, but I`m not disappointed because we played the way we had to.`, Hamren said.
