229. Brexit, a dry smoke bomb
A few days ago, the sports column of the British media "Daily Mail" selected the best team in the group stage of this European Cup, although this list includes many stars, but the overall is slightly "civilian", among them, the last round of the reversal of Spain Croatia team has two on the list.
The formation was 4-3-3 and the goalkeeper was Northern Ireland goalkeeper Michael McGovern, who made 16 saves against world champions Germany! Only 1 goal was scored by the opponent, and the performance was good. Northern Ireland also managed to come out of a group full of strong opponents.
At right-back, Dario Srna, the Croatian captain suffered the loss of his father during the game, but still showed excellent defensive quality in three games, and his fighting spirit inspired the Croatian team as they surprised to beat Spain.
The right centre-back is Iceland's Ragnar Sigurdsson. Before the game, Iceland's prospects of qualifying were not favored. Ragnar Sigurdsson, a member of Iceland's backfield, played well in the team's 1-1 draw with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal and the 2-1 defeat of Austria.
Leonardo Bonucci was the left centre-back, and although a defensive mistake against Ves Hurahan against Ireland ultimately led to Italy's defeat, his defensive performance was outstanding throughout the group stage, and his assists in Italy's win over Belgium were impressive.
At left-back Ireland's Robbie Brady, who was originally in midfield for the club, but Ireland's conservative style of play in the group of death kept Brady at the back for most of the time, although his goal against Italy showed his ability to run.
At the back is Swiss captain Granit Xhaka, an Arsenal upstart who has been the Swiss passing master at this tournament and has been in fine form against Albania and hosts France. Switzerland are also unbeaten in the group stage.
The centre-back at right is France's Dimitri Payet, the heart of West Ham United, who has impressed everyone with his performances at this tournament and won the trust of manager Didier Deschamps. One pass and one shot in the first game opened the perfect start for France, and in the second game he scored the winning goal in the final moments.
Elsewhere in central midfield, Spain's Andres Iniesta, nicknamed "Little White" has been dubbed "the smartest player in the world" by German football legend Lothar Mateus, and his lead in midfield has created many chances for Spain, including the assist for the winner of the first game for Gerard Pique.
On the right winger is Wales' number one star Gareth Bale, who was in a slump in the group stage of the big five leagues, but Bale conquered everyone with his consistent performances, and Wales also created a surprise under his leadership by finishing second in Group B and entering the knockout rounds.
The centre-forward is England's talented supernova Qiansheng, who at the age of 15 looks like a mature 25-year-old player, not only scoring three goals and providing three assists in three group games, but also being called on in the last game, scoring with an injury to help England draw with Slovakia and keep the group unbeaten.
On the left wing, Croatia's Ivan Perisic scored the winner against Spain to top the group and send them to the bottom half of the dead zone. His ability to break down the left will be a nightmare for all defenders.
Other players who qualify for the list include Icelandic goalkeeper Hannes Pol Hardasson, German midfielder Toni Kroos, German defender Jerome Boateng, Hungarian midfielder Balaz Djuzak and Spanish striker Alvaro Morata.
In the best eleven of this year's group stage selected by the Spanish media "Daily Sport", there are four players who are different from the "Daily Mail".
The formation chosen by Daily Sports is 4-2-3-1:
Goalkeeper: Jan Sommer (Switzerland)
Defenders: Srna (Croatia), Leonardo Bonucci (Italy), Gerard Pique (Spain), Michael Pazdan (Poland)
Defenders: Andres Iniesta (Spain), Xhaka (Switzerland)
Midfielders: Gareth Bale (Wales), Payet (France), Perisic (Croatia)
Forward: Qiansheng (England)
At the end of each group stage of a tournament, the best performers of the moment are chosen.
A fan poll organized by Goal.com to select the best player in the group stage of the European Championship resulted in England's thigh dry force beating Bale with a surprising 28% of the vote, and was voted the best player in the group stage of the European Championship (with the highest percentage of votes). Gareth Bale is second (27 per cent), behind Poland defender Pazdan, French midfielder Payet and Spanish star Andres Iniesta, all with 21 per cent of the vote.
It is worth mentioning that Italian defender Leonardo Bonucci, Slovak midfielder Marek Hamsik, Swiss midfielder Xhaka, Spanish striker Morata and others also received some votes.
One day before the start of the quarterfinals of the 2016 European Championship in France, a big island next to France took place on a big island that attracted the attention of the world.
At seven o'clock in the morning on June 24, 2016, the United Kingdom, across the sea from France, announced a decision that shocked the world: "The heaviest result of the Brexit referendum is that Britain will leave the European Union!" ”
On the same day, British Prime Minister William Cameron issued a statement that he would respect the choice of the people and leave the European Union, and he would resign as British Prime Minister.
Brexit shocked the world, and the pros and cons are not humane.
Many experts, players, etc. have expressed their opinions.
Czech goalkeeper Peter Cech, who has played in the Premier League for many years, tweeted his thoughts on Brexit after the referendum result: "This will be one of the biggest decisions in the history of this country, and yet it seems to be a ...... based on false competition and lies"
It can be seen that Cech is very angry about this incident, after all, Britain's departure from the European Union will have a far-reaching impact in the future in all aspects such as politics, economy, and culture.
For football, it is a seismic blow to the English league, and in the future, players from the European Union, including France, Spain and Italy, must first apply for a labor certification if they want to join the Premier League.
According to BBC statistics, the "Brexit", the entire British football league, more than 400 players will face "unemployment", they are likely to re-apply for labor certification to continue to play in these leagues, and there are voices from the other side that this is conducive to the emergence of local football talent in the United Kingdom.
The impact of the labour system on recruitment and youth training, and the status of local players in England, will be brought to the table, and the pros and cons of this cannot be fully judged, but in the eyes of most media, Brexit is not good news for English football.
Sports Illustrated has an article pointing out that the Premier League, as well as the British national teams, will be hit.
First, the self-proclaimed "First League" Premier League is indeed one of the most lucrative leagues, with the 2014-15 season, for example, generating £4.8 billion a year, more than the Bundesliga (2.6 billion pounds) and La Liga (2.1 billion pounds) combined.
Last season, the Premier League brought in 2.5 billion pounds of revenue from television alone, and that figure is expected to reach 3.9 billion next season.
The Premier League is so hot and gold-absorbing, and it is inseparable from the stars and commercial packaging.
According to statistics, there are about 200 non-English European players in the Premier League, most of them from EU countries, including big names such as Eden Hazard, David De Gea and Mesut Ozil.
With superstars comes greater attention, fans, merchandise, commercial sponsorships, and so on.
The article frankly pointed out that British stars alone would not have caused such huge influence and attention.
It is undeniable that after Brexit, it will be more difficult for foreign players to enter the Premier League, and it will be even more difficult for football talents from various countries to land in the Premier League.
In this way, both the league level and attention will decline, so whether the Premier League can still make money like this should be marked with a question mark.
Some people say that foreign players squeeze the growth space of local players, and if foreign players are restricted, then England will pay more attention to the development of local players, which will have a positive impact on the national team.
But this is the same as discussing the question of "whether the introduction of big-name foreign aid in the Chinese Super League and the prosperity of the league can make the national football team progress", no matter which side will make sense.
But at least in the eyes of rational Britons, a league regression means the end of the national team: "The fact that foreign players are now often replacing homegrown players at the heart of the club squad is evidence of a lack of youth training in England, not a prejudice from abroad. The Bundesliga and La Liga also have superstars such as Robert Lewandowski, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leao Messi, but Germany and Spain have won the last two World Cups. According to UEFA statistics in 2013, the number of youth coaches in Germany is twice that of England, while the number of youth coaches in Spain is three times, which shows that with good youth training and really good local talent, they are not afraid of the impact of foreign players. And if Britain cuts off the suspension bridge with the European continent, it will certainly not promote the development of English football. ”
In the midst of the Brexit uproar, England coach Roy Hodgson avoided talking about it at his pre-match press conference, saying that it was a political event and had nothing to do with sports, especially the European Championships.
"Dry's injury? It's not serious, he's still recovering from his injury and needs to rest, and it remains to be seen if he can play in tomorrow's quarter-finals. It may or may not be on. Hodgson held back a smile in his heart and said serious nonsense with a serious face. (To be continued.) )
