From June 21, the European Championship reaches the semi-finals. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info) Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the host Sweden Shun lì into the slaughter. France, one of the possible champions, was knocked out of the tournament.
France's exit came as a bit of a surprise, with Platini, who had become the manager, but at this time he was struggling with a lot of problems, and his heart was already flying to host the 1998 World Cup. In the opening match against Sweden, France drew 1-1 thanks to Papin's goal, and coach Michel Platini complained: "Being a manager and being a player are not the same thing. ”
There is one thing that the French people will not know, and that is that a strength and conditioning coach made a stupid mistake. It is said that he chose a kind of ointment to compress the feet of the team members, and two hours later, because he forgot to remove the ointment, Papan's ankle was burned by the ointment. But the kind-hearted people rushed to tell each other that Papan's foot was injured in the game.
After a 0-0 draw with a low-key England, France was in a more passive position. In order to reach the semi-finals, France must win the third match against Denmark. In fact, Denmark will have to beat France if they want to qualify. As a result, Denmark won 2-1, and the French's dreams were shattered. Platini was unequivocal about his resignation, disappointed and told trusted friends that he would step away from his managerial role. In this way, the Danish team reached the semi-finals.
In Group B, favourites are favoured to win the tournament, Germany and the Netherlands, with Vogts' Germany beating Scotland 2-0 in a 1-1 draw with the CIS thanks to Hasler's late goal. The Netherlands beat Scotland 1-0 and then drew 0-0 with the CIS. But in the third battle, the Dutch showed their might. Facing Germany, who had lost their general Worrall due to a wrist bone injury, the Dutch watch was extremely jīngcai, and Rijkaard showed his flawless skills. In the fourth minute, Coman took a free-kick and Rijkaard headed it in, and in the 15th minute, Witzhegg went straight into the net. Germany pulled a goal back in the 53rd minute with a header from Jurgen Klinsmann. However, the Netherlands, who were leading 2-1, did not let up, and in the 73rd minute, Bergkamp scored the third goal for the Netherlands with a beautiful header Shèmén. In the end, the score was locked at 3-1.
Germany reached the semi-finals despite losing to the Netherlands and took on hosts Sweden at the Lasonda Stadium in Solna on 21 June. Young Sweden suffered a heavy blow in front of Germany.
With home advantage, Sweden were hoping for a comeback, but with Sammer starting the game, the German midfield was bolstered in depth. 4∴(8)065 Germany used the three goals lost to the Netherlands as motivation, and in the 12th minute, Hasler scored a free-kick that resembled Platini, in the 59th minute, Riddle added the icing of the cake, and in the 88th minute, Riddle added another goal. The tenacious Swede also scored the second goal in the 89th minute, but there was no way back. In the end, Germany made it to the final again. It looks like Germany will meet the Netherlands again in the final.
On June 22, in the afternoon, all the seats at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg were almost full, and the semi-finals between the Netherlands and Denmark were held here. For this game, Chen Kangjie also made a heavy bet, betting that the Danish team would win in the end. This qiē seems impossible, the strength of the Dutch team is too strong, and the strength of the Dutch team is very obvious in the bookmaker's order-taker.
On June 20, the order takers of the three bookmakers suddenly received orders from different people to buy the Danish team to win, ranging from tens of millions of dollars to tens of millions of dollars, adding up to hundreds of millions of dollars.
For large bets, the lower employees of the bookmaker do not dare to take orders casually, and must report to the manager, because for large bets, there may be càonòng behind the back, which is not handled by the staff below. When the managers saw that it was Denmark that won the purchase, of course they ordered it to be taken in full, which was similar to giving money. The world is optimistic about the Dutch team, there are millions of balls are chosen by the Dutch team to win, so the odds of the Dutch team are very low, if they all buy like this, they don't have much money to make at all, and now someone wants to contradict and send money, which is of course welcome, just like when the game just began, there was a fool huā 400 million US dollars to buy the Danish team to win the championship, this is not a fantasy.
On June 10th, the opening match of the European Championship had just begun, and William Hill and other bookmakers received a bet from Han Geng, 400 million US dollars to buy Denmark to win the championship, at that time they offered odds of 1 to 30, the game had just begun, and such an unreasonable bet was placed. In the end, it was concluded that it was impossible, because the Danish players had just been called up from the resort, and the difference in strength between teams like the Netherlands and Germany was too great, and there was a saying that in the face of absolute strength, all yīn tricks were in vain. Therefore, the directors of the board of directors decided to accept the order, how much to collect, this kind of money, if you don't accept it, it will be thunderstorming.
It is for this reason that the following managers will accept the bet this time, and at this time the odds of the Danish team winning the championship have been reduced to 7 times, although it has been reduced a lot, but the odds are still quite high. The odds for Denmark to win today are 1 to 3, if the Dutch team loses, the bookmaker has to pay 1.2 billion US dollars, which is not a small amount, but the managers will not think so, they think it is impossible, the 400 million US dollars fell from the sky, after all, the Netherlands has just won 3-1 against the already strong Germany.
These people don't understand Chinese culture, otherwise they would be cautious. In Chinese culture, there is no belief in "pie in the sky". Everything has a cause and effect, no one is stupid, and it is impossible to make a lot of money.
There was also a magical scene in this game. The Dutch players were unafraid of Denmark, believing that it was just a stop on the way to the final, and that Denmark was vulnerable in their eyes. Therefore, they did not send all the main forces at first, and they had to retain their strength and body to face the German team again. Don't look at their 3:1 draw with Germany a few days ago, this does not mean that their strength is so much stronger Germany, two years ago, Germany only won the World Cup, and the Dutch team itself did not rule out the possibility that Germany would retaliate 3:1 in the final.
But the Dutch were wrong, and the Danes had little Laudrup, whose cousin was no less than his brother. Because of this arrangement, the Dutch team did not control the whole game in the opening game, and the Danish team seized the opportunity, and in the 33rd minute of the opening game, under the assist pass of Laudrup Jr., his teammates first broke the big mén of the Dutch team. At this time, the head coach of the Dutch team was anxious and hurriedly replaced three main players in a row, especially the striker Bergkamp, who scored four goals in the qualifying stage, Bergkamp did not disappoint the manager, and before the end of the first half, a breakthrough equalized the game for the Dutch team.
"Jie Shao, will the Danish team really defeat the Dutch team?", Han Geng, who was sitting next to Chen Kangjie, was still a little uneasy.
Seeing the Danish team take the lead in attacking Mén before, everyone thought that Chen Kangjie's prediction that the Danish team would win would become a great probability of becoming a reality, but the Dutch team with extraordinary strength immediately reported the favor, and there were still 45 minutes left in the second half, and they believed that the Netherlands would definitely not relax and would quickly lock in the win.
"Since I bought it, of course I believe it, otherwise why would I buy it? Isn't it just a draw now, what's the hurry!", Chen Kangjie said a little relaxed.
In fact, Chen Kangjie's ease is only the surface, the Netherlands can quickly counterattack a goal, which also makes Chen Kangjie feel a little suspenseful, after all, he can be reborn, and it does not mean that the slightest deviation will not happen, but verbally, it is still necessary to show that it is easy and natural.
"Whether you lose or win, as I said before, it's just a game", Ouyang Zhenhua said even more indifferently.
This guy is actually playing tricks, even he can see that the strength of the Dutch team is much stronger than Denmark, since the Dutch team changed people to strengthen the midfield and attack, the situation is basically in the control of the Dutch team, so the Danish team is likely to lose a lot, but Denmark can reach the semifinals after all, which surprised many people, so Ouyang Zhenhua didn't say anything to death.
The intermission of a few minutes was soon over, and after the two sides changed venues, the second half of the scramble began. Maybe it was a goal back, maybe it was really because I felt that I was super strong, at the beginning of the second half, the organization of the Dutch team relaxed again, the Danish team is a team that is good at finding opportunities and seizing opportunities, or under the organization and coordination of Laudrup Jr., the Danish team once again broke the big mén of the Dutch team, at this time it was only more than five minutes before the start of the second half, which was equivalent to a direct slap in the face to the Dutch team.
The Dutch team was in a hurry immediately, repeatedly organizing strong attacks, but the Danish team fully contracted the defensive line, not giving the Dutch team a chance at all, coupled with the normal play of the Danish team's guard Peter Schulcher, the Dutch team had several threatening chōushè were accurately saved, including two Dutch star Van Basten's shèmén.
At this time, the athletes on the court were anxious, the coaches were anxious, the tens of thousands of spectators in the stands were anxious, and even Chen Kangjie was anxious, but the direction of the anxiety was different. Many of the crowd in support of the Dutch team shouted one làng higher than one, and finally two minutes before the end of the game, the Dutch team scored a goal in the húnluàn to level the score at 2-2.
After going into extra time, the Netherlands repeatedly missed good scoring opportunities because they were in a hurry to win the game. And Denmark, which has little chance in the eyes of everyone, sees hope of surviving to the penalty shootout.
Denmark took the lead in the penalty shootout, all 5 players were penalized, and the top 4 players in the Netherlands also missed the penalty, but Van Basten, who was the fifth on the field, became the key to the game. Van Basten was doomed to bad luck when he met Schmerchel, but his very tricky shèmén was saved by Mén Schmeichel.
The Danes were thrilling to stop the champions from reaching the semi-finals and qualified themselves to meet Germany.
