Turkey may have the youngest team of the tournament, but it would be wrong to say that it is inexperienced. Their best players Burak, Yusuf and Zeki became champions in France. Caglar Soyuncu plays in England and took the FA Cup. Merih plays for Juventus, Kaan and Mert for Sassaulo, Hakan Calhanoglu for Milan, Okay for West Bromwich Albion, Ozan Kabak for Liverpool. I mean there are players with European experience.

While Turkey was coming here, they beat World Champion France 2-0 in one match, drew 1-1 in the other match and finished the group in the 2nd place. They also scored 4 goals against the Netherlands and 3 goals against Norway in the World Cup qualifiers in the past months. So expectations were very high.

On the other hand, Italy won all its matches while coming here. They didn't lose 27 games. Mancini proved to be a tactical genius. Also, according to me, the Italian league is the best league in Europe after the English league. So the competition was good for the national team. It should not be forgotten that Italy is a tournament team and the host of this tournament.
As you know, in Europe, Italy is the league and national team where tactics and analysis are most important. Technical directors pay particular attention to tactics.
They scored the same goal against Turkey as they scored in the Czech, Poland and Bosnia games (2nd goal). They analyzed and played on Turkey's weakest link, the left-back, very well. All the goals came thanks to the attacks on the left side of Turkey.

The moment they lost the ball in the 3rd region, they put pressure on Okay and Ozan and immediately regained the ball. (or the goalkeeper Ugurcan threw the ball forward and the Italian defense took it.) (Ugurcan played with 28 pass errors)
PS. Italy broke the record (9 times) and placed 2nd in recovering the ball lost in the 3rd zone at the European Championship (Germany, who was 1st, won 10 times against Albania in 2016).
They also broke the record as the most different win in the opening matches of the tournament.
On the other hand, Turkey was not prepared for any match tactically. Especially all plans are made on 0-0. (if we can call it a plan). After the match was 1-0, all the Turkish players thought that they lost the match and the match suddenly became 3-0.
There was no plan to break the pressure, to counterattack. There was so much pressure that the good players of the team, Caglar and Merih, made a lot of mistakes. I haven't seen such a bad Turkey in a long time. It didn't surprise us that Italy won, but such a bad Turkey surprised everyone.

More details can be given about the match and especially about Turkey, but I do not want to prolong it. I hope Turkey solves the psychological problems after this bad game and plays its own game without fear in other matches.
Also, it wouldn't be a surprise if Italy played the final this year and even won the cup.
PS. I'm from Turkey, so my knowledge about Turkey is more than Italy.
