In the post-match interview, Zlatan Ibrahimovic said: "I'm two goals away, no, three goals, I'm the number one striker in Europe!" Hopefully, in the last European Championship, I can achieve my goal. ”

Coincidentally, the next day, in the final game of the first round of the group stage, Portugal was held to a draw by Iceland, and the Portuguese captain Cristian Ronaldo, who scored a goal, said something similar to Ibrahimovic.

The match between Belgium, the "Red Devils of Europe", and Italy, the "Blue Coats", which have not been pinched together by fans and experts, is considered to be the only strong confrontation in the group stage.

Facing the Italian team, which is known as the most civilian team of all time, even if there is a little monster Romelu Lukaku in the striker, Eden Hazard in the midfield, Belgium, who has not been pinched into a whole, in front of Italy's steel defense, in front of the old and strong goalkeeper Gian Luigi Buffon, this strong dialogue has become the most dull and boring game in the first round of the group stage, and the score of 0-0 is compared to France, Switzerland and Spain, the process is simply a world apart.

As the first round of the group stage came to an end, the media found that the most watched matches in the first round were between England and Russia, which had supernova talents, while the lowest ratings were created by the penultimate match, the match between Austria, the capital of music, and Hungary, a declining giant.

Deeply affected by German football, most of the players who play in the German league, this team reached the European Championship finals for the first time through the qualifiers, with a strong German color, after paying close attention to the academy, a new generation of talents represented by David Alaba has stepped onto the stage of history.

Although Austria is ranked 10th in the latest FIFA world rankings, it is followed by strong teams such as England, Italy, the Netherlands, Mexico, and even the host country, France, which is seven places behind.

Of course, the world ranking doesn't mean that Austria are better than the teams behind them, but the astonishing result of securing the top spot in the group two rounds of European Championship qualifiers is enough to prove that they are already a force to be reckoned with in European football.

Austria, who have a more traditional German football style than the current German team, played a team tactic that dazzled the fans in this game, and Austria's 2-0 win over Hungary was much more exciting than the more famous last game between Belgium and Italy. The sluggish ratings can only show that the two teams have suffered a loss of fame. For today's new-age fans, what they prefer to watch is the game of the traditional powerhouse in Europe.

Iceland, who are playing in a major tournament for the first time, will make it a surprise if you are familiar with their performance in the European qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil two years ago.

Two years ago, Iceland crashed out of the play-offs against Croatia with an aggregate score of 0-2, and fell in grief just one step away from their first World Series. However, they made a comeback in Euro 2016 qualifying, beating the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Turkey in the group of death, and a shocking two-round advance direct entry to France, becoming one of the dark horses of this tournament.

The group stage of the European Championship finals is divided with Portugal, Austria and Hungary, and because the best group can qualify, the Icelandic team has great ambitions, and since it is here, it has to go further.

Among the teams that are all composed of "Song" and "Sen", the most famous are the well-known stars who have played for the English Premier League giants Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and La Liga giants Barcelona, 37-year-old Edule Gudjohnsen and Gurufi Sigurdsson, who will not become Iceland's big sniper.

"Icelandic Sniper" Sigurdsson's heavy artillery in the first half made Portugal fall into a hard battle, and the Icelandic team played a defensive counterattack after the goal, making Portugal unable to put heavy troops into the attack, if it were not for Ronaldo standing up and a strong header equalizing, Portugal would be the biggest upset in the first round of the group stage.

And after Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo scored, reporters got an important message from their words, they want to impact the top scorer in the history of the European Cup!

From the start of Euro 1960 to the present, it has been 56 years, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, who have participated in the tournament for the fourth time, have set their sights on a record that has been in the dust for many years, that is, the all-time goal record of the European Cup. The record is held by Michel Platini, the superstar of the host French team, who has been the all-time top scorer of the European Championship for 32 years.

In the 1984 European Championship in France, the host team with the famous midfield iron triangle was strong and strong, aiming for the championship. And the leader Michel Platini has become the brightest superstar of this European Cup.

The 1984 European Championship was the stage for Platini's solo performance, beating Denmark 1-0, defeating the European Red Devils Belgium 5-0, Platini scored a hat-trick, 3-2 against the powerful former Yugoslavia, Platini scored a hat-trick again! Extra-time went to extra-time against Portugal in the semi-finals, with Platini slotting home in the 119th minute. In the final, he won 2-0 against Spain and opened the scoring with a free kick. With 9 goals in 5 games and two hat-tricks, Platini not only helped France win the first major championship in history, but also became the first goalscorer in the history of the European Cup, which has not been broken for 32 years.

No one can achieve the record of 9 goals in a single game, and latecomers can only rely on cumulative goals to hit this peak record. Prior to the start of the tournament, only three active players were eligible to break the record at the tournament.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who has six goals in 14 games, and Ibrahimovic, who has scored six goals in 10 games, are the closest to Platini's goals, both three goals behind. The Three Lions' Wayne Rooney is second with five goals in six games.

And after the first round of the group stage, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic both scored a goal, Ronaldo scored 7 goals in 15 games, Ibrahimovic scored 7 goals in 11 games, and Rooney was replaced after only half a game in the first game, so the data became 5 goals in 7 games, Rao is so, Rooney's goal rate is the highest among the three.

With their age over 30, it is no surprise that this European Championship will be their last, so whether they can catch up with and break the record of French superstar Platini who has dominated the scoring charts for 32 years is the last chance for the three of them.

With fewer games played and teams closer to each other than the World Cup, it will not be easy to score goals. Since Euro 1996, the number of goals scored by the top scorer in three editions has been five, and by 2008 it was on a downward trend.

David Belgium scored 4 goals in the 2008 Euro Championship Golden Boot, while Fernando Torres only scored 3 goals in the last tournament, which shows the difficulty of scoring goals in the European Championship, which highlights Platini's incredible 9 goals in 5 games.

After Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic revealed their ambitions to hit the all-time top scorers, for a while, everyone's eyes were on England, who were preparing for the second round of the group stage and the Welsh "English derby".

Because the Three Lions have scored 34 goals in eight league games, and the talented goalscorer with the highest goal rate is today.

Since representing the national team, he has scored 6 goals in 4 games, and if it weren't for Roy Hodgson's new tactics to pull Qiansheng from the No. 9 position to the midfield, away from the goal, with Qiansheng's shooting efficiency, it is very likely to break Platini's goal record.

Therefore, a group of English football celebrities and experts have called for Hodgson to fix Qiansheng in the forward position and not waste the shooting talent of this talented player. Of course, they would like to see Qiansheng break the record of the French.

"Boss, I still think it's too much of a waste of his shooting talent to pull him back into midfield." Gary Neville said: "There have been some games where I don't think it's necessary to use new tactics. ”

Hodgson, who watched his players train on the training pitch with his arms folded, said: "Gary, do you know what I'm thinking right now? ”

Neville looked at Hodgson.

"I wish there were two players, one as a striker and one as a libero in midfield."

Neville's face darkened, this is nonsense.

"There is no weak team in the European Cup, Gary, in the second half against Russia, if we don't change our tactics, how can we break the curse of 48 years of winlessness?"

Neville was silent, 48 years, too long.

In the past 48 years, England have played in eight European Championships, with four draws and four defeats in the opening game, without a win.

In 1968, it lost 0-1 to Yugoslavia; 1-1 draw with Belgium in 1980; 1988 0-1 loss to Ireland, the youngest brother of the British Isles; In 1992, they drew with the Danish team that staged the "Danish fairy tale"; 1996 1-1 draw with Switzerland; 2000 2-3 reversal by hosts Portugal; 2-1 loss to defending champions France in 2004; In the last session, it drew 1-1 with France.

Yesterday for the ninth time, with two assists in the second half of Qiansheng, he finally broke this spell and tasted a good start for the first time.

'Gary, Wales are very strong, Gareth's free-kick threat is very high, we have to be careful not to easily foul in the 30-metre area at the back. Hodgson touched his chin, most of the Welsh players are from the Premier League, the players of the two teams are either teammates or opponents who often play together, it can be said that the two sides know the roots, if they want to win this game, if they appear in the first round, they must find a way to contain the absolute core of Wales, Gareth Bale!

"I'm going to let the dry keep an eye on Gareth." Hodgson said word for word.

Neville looked at the Three Lions boss with a shocked look on his face, and was about to say, "You're not playing with me?" (To be continued.) )
