Chapter 649: This is definitely a smoke bomb

By the time the second round of the group stage was over, the qualification situation of some groups had already been clear, and the performance of each team was basically in line with everyone's expectations.

In Group A, Portugal has won two in a row, although they did not lock up the qualifying places, but they are basically nine out of ten, Turkey and the Czech Republic are both one win and one loss, as for the host Switzerland, they have suffered two consecutive defeats and are certain to be out.

In Group B, England also won two in a row, Germany won one and lost one, and Austria and Poland drew and each accumulated one point.

Group C, the group of deaths that has attracted the most attention, has shown a trend of polarization.

After beating Italy in the first round, the Dutch team beat France in the second round, showing an unbeatable posture, and even has more goal difference than England at the moment.

Italy were held to a draw by Sweden after losing in the first round, leaving the defending champions with little hope of qualifying.

The French team drew with Sweden in the first round, and this time it was bloodied by the Netherlands, and it was completely difficult to be brothers with Italy.

On the contrary, Sweden, which was not favored before the game, drew two consecutive games against the opponent, and the hard-boned nature was surprising.

Of course, no one has thought that Sweden will be able to qualify, because Sweden will play the Netherlands in the final round, and with the current form of the Netherlands, it will be difficult for Sweden to get out of the game, and the other match between France and Italy, whoever wins will qualify.

The current form shown by the Netherlands has been favored by countless people, and even in the championship odds list, it has surpassed Spain and approached England.

Jamie Vardy didn't expect the Netherlands to be so strong, and if memory serves, there should have been no Netherlands in the last four.

With the current state of the Netherlands, they can't meet Spain after qualifying, so how did they get eliminated?

That's a problem!

In the last group, Spain and Croatia have won two consecutive victories, both locked up the qualifying places, the only difference is who is the first in the group, and the next match between the two teams will directly determine the winner.

In the end, the European Cup is good-looking, there will be a lot of strong dialogues in the group stage, the European Cup has been carried out so far, it has completely attracted the attention of the whole world, and it is not surprising that when the knockout stage is full of giants against giants, it will attract more eyeballs and completely become a feast for fans.

Vardy doesn't think about it that much, at least for now, England will not be able to meet a strong team until the semi-finals, or Germany, or Portugal, the knockout stage and the group stage, it is definitely a completely different level and level, even if they meet Germany again, that Germany and the Germany they just met will not be the same team.

On the list of more talked-about goalscorers, Surprisingly, Vardy did not come out on top.

Jamie Vardy, who has scored two goals in two games, is tied with several other players for second place in the scorers' charts.

At the top of the list is the Spanish striker Villa, who was not a super scorer in European football before the start of the European Cup.

In the first group game, Villa scored a hat trick directly, and in the second group stage, he scored a killer goal, scoring four goals in two games, and was proud of the scorer list.

Not only were they surprised that Vardy didn't lead the scorers, but they were also surprised by Vardy's vision.

Before the start of the European Championship, Vardy had predicted that Hulu Wa Villa would perform well in the European Championship and could be a strong contender for the Golden Boot.

Unexpectedly, after two rounds of the group stage, Vardy's words really came true, which was more accurate than the Mayans' predictions.

You know, in the previous European Championships, usually 5 goals can win the Golden Boot, and Villa scored 4 goals in two games, can't you score a goal later?

Spain are so strong that it is widely believed that they can at least reach the semi-finals, so Spain will not be missing a game, and Villa have every chance to compete with Jamie Vardy for the Golden Boot.

Of course, the gap between the two goals is not too big for Vardy, usually a game breaks out, the gap is erased, at least it can be seen that Vardy is in the group stage, not full firepower, obviously accumulating energy, waiting to break out in the key battle.

So far, with the exception of Vardy's first season at Everton, Vardy has never let the Golden Boot of any of the tournaments he has participated in fall aside, and he is simply a Golden Boot collector.

If he wins the Golden Boot of the European Championship again this time, then Vardy will complete the Golden Boot Grand Slam!

Premier League Golden Boot, Serie A Golden Boot, European Golden Boot, Champions League Golden Boot, World Cup Golden Boot, European Cup Golden Boot......

Has anyone ever achieved such an achievement?

This is an absolute feat and an epic miracle!

Maybe overtake Villa, in the next group game.

Jamie Vardy is of course eyeing the Golden Boot, but it all depends on the team's title-winning streak.

It's like when you get the World Cup Golden Boot?

Didn't England still not make it to the last four?

He doesn't need the Golden Boot as a consolation for losers, he wants that supreme trophy.

So, when Heynckes decided to rest him in the final round of the group stage, he nodded his head in agreement without hesitation.

In fact, it's not just Jamie Dardy who has been rotated and rested, many of the main players have been pressed to the bench by Heynckes when the big picture has been decided, and they will have to rest well against Poland.

On the one hand, it is definitely to give the main players a good rest, and on the other hand, it is to give the substitutes some opportunities.

After all, they have brought everyone to the European Cup, can they still keep them from playing, and wait until the end of the European Championship to go home with an embarrassing record of zero appearances?

Then, this game that is not obvious is the best opportunity for the substitutes to come on and experience the European Championship.

That's why Heynckes made such a decision.

Of course, Heynckes cares a lot about Vardy's thoughts, everyone knows that Vardy wants to win the Golden Boot, if he is forced to prevent Vardy from playing, who knows if Vardy will be petty, so it will cause a conflict with Heynckes?

A top manager will never ignore the needs of his players because of his fame and status, on the contrary, he will respect the opinions of the players and agree with them in a sense so that the team can be more effective, and there is no doubt that Heynckes is a typical example.

And for Jamie Vardy, he doesn't really have to play in an inconsequential game, he is a big man, and he doesn't really value a meaningless battle with Poland.

And it has long been common for him to miss the game for various reasons, which does not give him any psychological fluctuations.

Heynckes was able to negotiate with him in this way, which was enough for him to get a balance psychologically, you know, if it were Eriksen, he would have been pressed to the bench for no reason.

As a result, the consensus was reached, and Vardy was rested in the final round of the group stage and will not play.

When England announced the news before the game, many people were extremely surprised.

Doesn't Vardy want to compete for the Golden Boot?

Villa scored four goals and Vardy only scored two, and at this time Vardy has to rotate and rest, isn't this going to be in the hunt for the Golden Boot?

While the rest of England's main players have also been given a break to sit on the bench, the fact that they don't have Jamie Vardy's quest for the Golden Boot has no impact and doesn't say much.

For a while, Vardy's odds for the Golden Boot changed dramatically, and he even looked like he was about to be surpassed by Villa.

If Villa scores again in the final round of the group stage, then there is at least a three-goal gap between Vardy and Villa, which is by no means so easy to chase.

The media hyped up the news, and even conspiracy theorists began to spread the news of the conflict between Vardy and Heynckes, and for a while public opinion was in the dust.

Vardy, who got the news, couldn't cry or laugh, where is this!

He really doesn't worry about the gap in the number of goals between him and Villa, because of his memory, Villa scored four goals in the first two games, and until the end of the championship, Spain won the championship, he still scored four goals, and in the later games, he didn't score a goal.

In this regard, when he was chased and intercepted by reporters, Vardy did not bother to respond, because it was really nonsense.

However, at this time, the Polish coach felt that things were not so simple, referring to Vardy's previous smoke bombs, he always felt that this was a conspiracy against Poland.

Setting off smoke bombs to confuse opponents before the game is Vardy's usual trick, and the news before the face against Poland is clearly aimed at Poland.

Don't look at the announced starting list without Vardy, but you must know that this list can be changed until the game, if you really let your guard down, and then Vardy appears on the field, then I am afraid it will be a tragedy.

Don't try to fool me!

I won't be fooled!

What else is there about "the conflict between the manager and the players"?

Who would believe it!

As a result, the Polish coach, who thought he was smart, focused on the defense of Vardy in the final training, and even if he knew this, he might not be able to defend against Vardy, or at least not make Vardy so arrogant.

However, when the starting lists of both sides were actually submitted before the game, the Polish coach was dumbfounded, feeling as if he had been deceived by the whole world, and he had received 10,000 critical damage points deep inside.

What about the smoke bombs that are said to be good?

Why didn't Vardy really play?

All of this is self-inflicted, in fact, people don't take themselves seriously at all.

In an instant, the Polish coach began to doubt his intelligence.

It's like you've been toyed with!

However, after a short period of inner darkness, the Polish coach suddenly brightened his eyes and even wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

Jamie Vardy and England really didn't play, isn't that just Poland's chance?

If they can beat England, although Poland still can't appear, they can at least leave the European Championship with their heads held high, because they have defeated the biggest favorites to win the title!

Thinking of this, the Polish coach's face was full of fighting spirit, as if it was not him who was stunned just now.
