Chapter 0263: The-Stirring Stick vs. the Land Tyrant and the Fighting Nation
At 8 p.m. local time in France, the first match of the 15th European Championship kicked off at the Stade de France, and the host French team welcomed their first opponent, Romania.
In the end, the hosts won a tough start with a stunner from West Ham United's midfielder Payet in the 89th minute.
The opening game is always difficult to play, and under normal circumstances, the hosts will be under considerable pressure in the opening game. So in the entire first half of the opening game, neither the French team nor the Romanian team completely let go. In particular, the host country, France, as an old powerhouse, is very keen to win this European Championship on their home soil. So in the face of this grand goal, the first step is often a bit vain.
In this European Cup, Pogba, Griezmann and others in the French team are radiant, and the world's attention is focused on them, but they are substandard and average in the game. They weren't at their best because the pressure was on them, and they even had to be more careful and think more than usual with every move. Maybe they'll get into shape in the rest of the game, but overall, the three points from France in the opening game are enough to satisfy them.
Obviously, Romania will have to be a little more prepared for the game. They are more correct about their weak position, in this case, they can arrange their own tactics more targeted. Moreover, in the case of the overall pressure of the French team, although Romania is not as strong as France, their combat effectiveness is higher than that of France.
………………
After France's win of this game, their path to qualification is gradually clear.
To be able to get three points in a poor performance is a great thing for France.
And this game can also help to relieve the pressure on the players in the team.
After winning against Romania, the other opponents in this group, Switzerland and Albania, are not a threat to France, especially in the World Cup in Brazil, where France beat Switzerland 5-2, so it has become a very high probability for France to qualify from the group stage.
The match lifted the curtain on France's European Championships, and the victory of the French team also put them in the spotlight of the world.
However, the French team is not the only focus at this time, and in the city of Paris, another incident happened that diverted a lot of attention from the French team.
Just an hour before France's trip to Romania, Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain announced the team's head coach for next season via their official Twitter, with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho at the helm of the club on a contract until 2019.
On the official Twitter of Grand Paris, it was also explained that they chose Mourinho because of his excellent performance in the Champions League and the key to his appointment as the manager of Grand Paris.
As a local tyrant who wants to be among the top giants, Paris, with great investment, although it has achieved hegemony in Ligue 1, its performance in Europe in recent years has been lackluster.
With the signing of Jose Mourinho with Grand Paris, the rumors that Mourinho will be at the helm of Manchester United, which had been in a lot of uproar, have been shattered.
Subsequently, the previously rumored Premier League Guamu has also become a local tyrant version of A Tale of Two Cities. As the two most famous local tycoons in the world today, Paris and Manchester City have invited the two managers who are best at playing in the Champions League today, and the intention of the two clubs to play a big game has been obvious.
………………
With the official start of the European Cup, all kinds of heroes will also appear one after another.
On the second day, three matches will be played in three cities.
On June 11 at 2 p.m., in the city of Lens in the province of Calais in northern France, the other match in Group A will be played against Switzerland.
Three hours later, at 5pm local time in France, Group B will also begin, with Wales taking on Slovakia in Bordeaux, the land of wine.
At eight o'clock in the evening, in the coastal city of Marseille in the south of France, England and Russia take on each other.
But on the eve of the big game, the England team encountered a very bad thing, that is, England fans caused trouble again!
England fans clashed with local Marseille residents, with some fans throwing bottles and chairs and overturning cars, causing chaos on the streets of Marseille.
Later, Russian fans also joined the conflict, staging a modern version of the Three Kingdoms War.
The scene spiraled out of control in an instant, and the riot police used offensive tools such as tear gas and batons to suppress the disturbing fan group.
Surprisingly, these England fans even chanted during the clashes: "Isis, where are you?" "It's clear that these fans are blatantly provoking terrorist organizations.
Then on the day of the match, on the streets of Marseille, violent clashes broke out again between English fans and Russian fans.
A team of about 20 Russian fans constantly provoked England fans, and due to the disadvantage in numbers, England fans did not dare to fight, so they could only hide. The Russian fans, who were not having enough fun, immediately began to chase the English fans in the streets, and the scene spiraled out of control.
On other streets with similar numbers of fans, fans on both sides have lined up and thrown beer bottles and stools at each other, turning Marseille into a gladiatorial arena for football hooligans.
………………
While England fans were playing in Marseille against the French and the Russian coalition, the battle between Wales and Slovakia was already underway.
In the end, after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Wales beat Slovakia 2-1, Bale scored from a free kick, Duda equalized, and Ramsey assisted Robson Kanu to score.
The next game will be between England and Russia.
On the list announced before the game, Rashford really did not make the squad, let alone start.
This time, England lined up with a 433 formation, with goalkeeper No. 1 Joe Hart and four defenders No. 2 Walker, No. 5 Cahill, No. 6 Smalling, and No. 3 Danny Rose; The three midfielders are No. 20 Alli, No. 17 Dier, and No. 10 Rooney; The three strikers are Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane on the nine, and Lallana on the eight.
The British media expressed serious concern that Rashford did not even score as a substitute, and they asked Hodgson if Rashford's cold was very serious. Why is it that in the past few days, there is no sign of improvement? When will I be able to play?
Hodgson says Rashford is not yet fit and his playing time is uncertain, depending on the situation. I want to talk about "The British Emperor" with more like-minded people; Talk about life and find a confidant~
