Volume VI Chapter 38 Official Opening

Krakow is one of the metropolises of Poland and the capital of Krakow Province, located in the south of Poland, is a historic city that was once the capital of Poland as early as the 13th century.

The famous Vistula River flows through almost all of Poland, and Krakow is located on its upper banks, down the river, just over 200 kilometers from Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

As the most beautiful city in Poland, with its castles, history, churches, monasteries, bell towers and square towers, you can feel the taste of the European Middle Ages in the Old Town.

This is where England will be stationed during the European Championships.

As the third largest city in Poland, Krakow is not an ordinary small European town, with a population of nearly 2 million and a city population of nearly one million, which is already very prosperous in Europe.

When the white buses of England pass through the famous Central Square, they attract the cheers of many fans and tourists who have gathered here in advance.

Krakow's Central Square is known as the largest medieval square in Europe, where you can feel the authentic Polish style, warm and vibrant, exquisite and simple, and you can buy almost all Polish handicrafts in the surrounding shops.

England set their training ground at the nearby city stadium in the city of Hutnik, but they stayed in the most luxurious hotel in the centre of Krakow.

It seems that the British Football Team has always put the main force of logistics on the rest environment, after all, the top hotels are easier to find than the training environment.

A large number of English media have long been stationed around the England Hotel, and as soon as they got off the bus, they were quickly surrounded by enthusiastic media and fans.

"Champions, England, champions......", the fans shouted at the top of their voices.

"Audience friends, I'm broadcasting live to you in the center of Krakow, Poland, where England have just arrived at ......," the reporters nervously said to the cameras behind them.

Waving enthusiastically to the fans, the whole England team still did not stop, but quickly entered the hotel in the police protection channel.

With less than four days to go until their opening group game, England are based in Poland with all three of their group games in Ukraine.

This makes Makqin a little confused, is it because this place is beautiful?

"Oh, let's take a look around the hotel, the countless nightclubs and bars", the busy reporters were still busy reporting, and the camera swept the street scene around the hotel with the camera, "I don't understand why the FA chose this place, can the English players resist the temptation of the night?" ”

Especially Terry, Rooney, Ferdinand, these people are famous in this regard, and Capello is also here for the first time, and when he saw it, he immediately complained in his heart.

Fortunately, this time he did not prohibit the English ladies from accompanying him, and it seems that today it has become a wise move.

Busy cameras faithfully record everything about England's arrival, every detail, even what is eaten, how the training time is arranged, and the whole process is followed.

The Times: England have started training in Krakow, Poland, and the whole team is in good shape, although the conditions on the training ground are very average, but Capello didn't care, the most important thing is our performance on the field, we need to make excuses for losing, he said.

Daily Mirror: The core of this England team is still the same old team from the World Cup two years ago, Joe Hart, Terry, Gerrard, Mark, Rooney, these performances will determine how far we can go, but the new stars Carroll, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Welbeck are still worth looking forward to.

The Independent: St. Mark's recently said in an interview with our correspondent at the Municipal Stadium in Hutternik that the most important thing now is to get back to the passion and form we had when we were in South Africa, we are world champions, but that is in the past, now we need to start again!

England spent two days in Krakow before heading to the National Stadium in Warsaw on 8 June for the opening ceremony of the European Championships.

Euro 2012 will officially kick off tonight!

……

"Audience friends, audience friends", Zhan Jun, Huang Jianxiang, Zhang Lu and several others sat in the studio together, which was not like a commentary scene, but more like a gathering place.

The time in China is now more than 11 o'clock in the evening, and there is a time difference of about 6 hours with Poland, Zhan Jun looked at the beautiful opening ceremony picture and said loudly, "The 2012 European Championships, that is, the opening ceremony of the European Cup, has officially begun"

The greenery of the entire stadium was covered in a thorough sky blue, no, the blue of the bottom of the shallow sea, dreamlike, rippling in the microwave, and the dancing crowd on it seemed to be swimming on the sea.

Dancers dressed in Polish red and Ukrainian yellow kept moving around the venue, telling the unique cultures of the two countries.

Although Mack Qin in the stands couldn't understand it at all, this did not prevent him from devoting himself wholeheartedly.

Here, just thinking about it is exciting enough.

Zidane followed the path of World Cup champion and European Championship champion to the pinnacle of football, and his status in France even surpassed Platini.

As long as it's a European player, who doesn't aspire here?

"We see that the Warsaw National Stadium is very beautiful, which is also Poland in order to host the European Championships on the basis of the old stadium renovation, can accommodate 50,000 people, put into use last year, will become the home of the Polish team in the future," Huang Jianxiang said.

"It's really beautiful," Zhang Lu continued, "As you can see from the aerial footage just now, the whole stadium is one of the few fully enclosed stadiums with a roof, which looks like an oval plate on a high-end dining table, full of modernity and beauty."

"We see that the famous dance troupes of Poland and Ukraine are performing on the stage, so wait a minute, the host Poland will play the first opening match of this European Championship with Greece here," Zhan Jun said.

"Many messages on the Internet are still more concerned about Mr. Ma, and the first game of the England team will have to wait until three days later, at the Donetsk Bas Arena in Ukraine, to face the French team"

"France vs. England is also another strong dialogue in the first round in addition to Spain vs. Italy", Huang Jianxiang said, "It is also a key battle, and now the fans' expectations for England are very high, after all, they are World Cup winners"

"Hehe", Zhang Lu said with a smile, "England's performance in the European Championships has always been inferior to the World Cup, whether this session can make a breakthrough under the leadership of President Ma, we will wait and see......"

At this moment, with the opening ceremony, the 2012 European Championships have also completely kicked off.

The performance of the whole opening ceremony is very beautiful, but compared to football, it is a bit ethnic and elegant, and it is a bit incompatible with football.

"I hope that the story of South Africa can be repeated here, and I hope that the beautiful Poland and Ukraine can give us unforgettable memories again, the European Cup, I came to ......", while waiting for the opening match to begin, Mark Qin casually posted a dynamic on Ins, with a few photos of the scene.

"It's impossible to ......", Alonso.

"This time we're going to get revenge on ......", Kuyt.

"Mark, see you in the group stage, I can't wait......", Ibrahimovic.

Almost instantly, countless people reposted his news, among which there are not a few superstars in the football circle, and it seems that everyone is bored at this time.

Rooney had just finished a boring phone call with his wife to learn about the itinerary, put down the phone and looked at Mackin with a strange smile on his face, leaned over and glanced at the phone twice, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"It's nothing, the losers at the World Cup in South Africa are waiting to get revenge on us," he said with a smile.

"Come on, whoever provokes us will ...... death," Rooney said with a funny look.

To say that Rooney is really a bit lucky, it turns out that in the history of this European Championship he was banned for three games due to malicious revenge on Montenegrin players in the qualifiers, and missed all the group stages of the final stage perfectly.

But after England won the World Cup, everything changed, and this incident naturally did not happen, because the club was pressed by Manchester City to lose the league title again, and the national team was miraculously cured.

Because he knows that this could be another summer in which England is the protagonist!

He's looking forward to it!

The current England national team has become a place where all players want to join, instead of many English players who are club-oriented as before.

Why? Of course, it's because England is in the limelight right now.

Since they won the World Cup, the value of English players has generally skyrocketed, and substitutes like Milner at that time have directly doubled, not to mention the salary.

Truth be told, no one is going to be able to get along with such a huge benefit.

As they chatted, the Polish and Greek players officially entered the stadium and the opening match began on time, when the red and white flags flew and shouted loudly.

After all, this is Poland, the home of the hosts!

The round of 16, this summer's passion, this summer's collision, sweat mixed with sighs or honor, for dignity, for glory, only fighting!

It officially started after the referee's whistle......

Poland's two most famous stars are both from Borussia Dortmund, of course Lewandowski and defender Piszczek, and as for Greece, they are more famous because of the myth of dark horses.

Rehhagel's year made them black and purple.

In the end, in this game, the two teams were dramatic 10 against 10, and each was sent off one person in the second half, and finally drew 1:1.

[Hua Shao]: Greece played well, they still haven't lost their dark horse nature, and the hosts didn't seize the opportunity at home to win.

[Tan Yonglin]: Lewandowski is still as invincible as the club, Poland is a bit of a pity in this game, the goalkeeper was sent off too early.

[Mosquito nets & Ant Li]: Haha, we are at the scene, and he is also at the scene to see Mr. Ma's Instagram dynamics, but he can't be found (crying)

As soon as the game ended, many domestic stars swiped up the hot Weibo, rubbing, rubbing, rubbing, of course, the popularity of Macqin.

Of course, there are also many true fans.

"Watching the European Cup with Mr. Ma" is not very familiar, yes, this is Penguin.com following the planning plan of the South African World Cup and launching the European Cup again.

is still a subway, bus station, office building, prime-time advertising, all-round bombardment, and now the hottest football player in China, in addition to Ma Qin, is Zhang Linpeng, who always calls him brother in the media.

He's already available for occasional play at Liverpool!

In this expected hot atmosphere, this another summer about Mackin began, oh, the above sentence is also a penguin advertising slogan.

As for advertisers like Adidas, that's not to mention, as an aside, Adidas launched new boots for Mackin a month ago.

The "King" series, special boots for the European Championships!

Everything, just like the summer of two years ago, everyone was jubilant!

……

"Poland played well, but Greece showed their mettle", said British journalists outside the stadium who finally caught Mackin and interviewed him.

'For me, the World Cup and the European Championship are two completely different feelings, the opponents here are quite familiar, most of them are either opponents or team-mates at the club, which means that there are no secrets on both sides here, you have to make sure you play your best to get ahead......

"No", he shook his head and said, "I don't care about England's past record, I know that England's best star in the European Championship is Gascoigne, I don't know if he will come to watch the game"

"But for us, we don't need to prove anything, what we need to do is to be ourselves, don't be proud, don't be arrogant, don't be impatient, still put ourselves in a chasing position, and fight to win every game......"

He said it in a sonorous voice, and it was also the battle declaration he wanted to say to his teammates.

Even if they are World Cup winners, they are not in a position to underestimate any opponent.

It's still a gutter game, and you're going to go home in the cup.

The best of England? No, it should be England who works hardest!

The opening match heralds the official start of the tournament, with 16 teams competing for eight qualifying places in four groups across eight stadiums.

The games were basically scheduled at 6 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. at that time, and the corresponding time to China was 12 a.m. and 2:45 a.m.

When England returned to their home, the game was held as scheduled at a rate of two games in one day.

The first round of Group A: Poland 1:1 Greece, Russia 4:1 Czech Republic, Liverpool's disaster striker Barosh arrived in the national team, which was basically a disaster, and Cech swallowed 4 bullets.

The first round of Group B: Netherlands 0:1 Denmark, Germany 1:0 Portugal, well, instead of France, the Netherlands, which was bright in the World Cup in South Africa, has infighting, so far there are a few more sticks; Germany's win over Portugal is expected, although there is Cristiano Ronaldo in the sky, but Germany's system is not something they can compete with, and there is no shame in losing one.

The first round of Group C: Spain 1:1 Italy, Ireland 1:3 Croatia, met the old and new handover but Pirlo is healthy Italy, although Ba Shen opened the mode of thinking about life, but Spain did not take advantage of anything, the reason is still weak.

Villa was not even selected for the Spanish national team due to their poor form, and Bosque brought Torres and Negredo but did not use it, but followed in the footsteps of Guardiola and let Xiaofa play as a center forward.

Xiaofa: Damn, I'm going crazy!

And the first match of the first round of Group D, France VS England, will start tomorrow night......
