215. Records of the European Cup
In terms of overall strength, England, as the big brother of the British Isles, is undoubtedly higher than Wales, the younger brother of the same island, who is participating in an international competition for the first time. The 2-1 score does not really reflect the strength of the two sides, at least, both sides played well in this game.
Gareth Bale still shines at the Boralt Dereelly Stadium as Wales' only superstar, but it was England's No.9 who decided the outcome of the game and won the game.
A self-created free-kick on tiptoe shocked the crowd, and a brilliant back-heel pass in the second half sealed the result of the game, and Qiansheng won the best player of the game again without any suspense.
As if to enjoy the cheers of the fans for the man who helped the team advance from the group, Roy Hodgson replaced Wayne Rooney with Wayne Rooney in the 88th minute.
As Qiansheng walked off the field, the fans in the stadium stood up and applauded the young talent, and when he passed by Bale, Pei Dasheng said, "Let's exchange jerseys after the game." Qiansheng nodded, and both of them had a feeling of sympathy for each other.
Qiansheng and Rooney shook hands, Rooney patted Qiansheng's shoulder and smiled: "Well done." ”
Qiansheng nodded slightly, he was originally doing a beautiful job, and it was necessary to say modestly: "General." "That would be hypocritical.
Coupled with a few minutes of stoppage time, Wales, who were physically exerted against England, were unable to equalize, and in the end, the English derby ended with a narrow victory for the Three Lions.
After the end, everyone saw the scene of geniuses and geniuses cherishing each other, and Qiansheng and Bell exchanged jerseys.
"If we can meet in the knockout rounds, we will definitely win." Bell said with high spirits.
Qiansheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can qualify." ”
Although they lost, Wales, who had three points in hand, still had the advantage of qualifying from the group, and in the next game against Russia, as long as they did not lose, they would definitely qualify.
It's just that whether to be second in the group or third in the group depends on the face of the big brother in England.
Russia and Slovakia after two rounds, both have 1 point, of which Slovakia's goal difference is -1, Russia is -2, because England locked the first place in the group in advance, so the last round of the game with Slovakia, in order to maintain physical strength, England will definitely be on the full bench, which is also the practice of the group stage of international competitions. After all, one game in two or three days, plus the long league that ended before, it is even more sad not to give the main players a break and enter the knockout round.
In this case, Slovakia, who will qualify from the group, will definitely do their best, and it is difficult to say how much fighting spirit England will have to train as a substitute.
A win for Slovakia would have four points, while Wales would only need to be unbeaten against Russia to finish second in the group. Although it is also 4 points, according to the rules, Wales has the advantage of winning and losing, so as long as they do not lose in the last round, Wales will definitely qualify second in the group. Slovakia, on the other hand, can only compete with the other group thirds for the best group finish to qualify for the knockout round.
Russia, on the other hand, will have to beat Wales and then match Slovakia on goal difference to decide second place in the group.
In any case, England, who have won two games in a row, have already qualified as group winners, and the main players can rest well in the next game, while the substitutes are also fighting for a good performance in the last game to get a chance to start the knockout round.
In the post-match interview, as the best player in the game, Qiansheng was interviewed by the media again.
When asked about the free kick kicked with his toes, Qiansheng said proudly: "I invented it, and it was actually an accident to be able to score a goal, because this technique has only been practiced for a short time, and I chose to use this method because I want to try, it doesn't matter if I get in or not, I should increase my proficiency." I didn't expect to get in at the end, and it seems that I was lucky. Hahaha......"
At the end, Qiansheng scratched the back of his head and laughed.
Reporter:......
"Dry, you saw Jamie's when you assisted with your heel?"
"I don't know if he ran up, I just saw him running in the back, so I gave it a try. I didn't expect him to really run in place. ”
Reporter: Try it again, you're pretending, understand?
Qiansheng expressed his dissatisfaction, Lao Tzu never pretended to be forced, and always told the truth.
Wales boss Chris Coleman said in an interview with reporters that the result of this game and the draw should be reasonable. But it's acceptable to lose, after all, England's overall strength is indeed above Wales.
Coleman also said that England could win and their no.9 was the biggest contributor. If they want to go further, they should let the number nine continue to play up front instead of going back to the back.
It seems that Coleman is also harboring evil intentions and wants to use the pressure of English public opinion to force Hodgson to abandon his new tactics.
In this regard, Hodgson faced an interview with the media and said that the tactics of the England national team are not fixed or static, but change according to the situation on the field. What tactics to choose, what style of play to use, and ultimately the choice is made by the players on the pitch.
He did not say that it was Qiansheng who had the right to change his tactics, for fear that he would be under great pressure.
After all, there is only one coach on the pitch, and that is the emperor of German football.
After this campaign, on the European Cup scorer list, Gansheng and Bale tied for the top spot with two goals, and on the assist list, Qiansheng dominated the list with three assists, and for a while, the whole of France noticed the England international who was not yet 16 years old.
Two games, 2 goals and 3 assists, one person participated in all the goals, and it can almost be said that he won the game alone.
If that person is Argentine champion Diego Maradona, everyone takes it for granted.
If this person was Michel Platini in 1984, everyone thought it was normal.
If this person is Zinedine Zidane in 1998, many people will not find it strange.
If this person is Gian Luigi Buffon in 2006, many people think it should be.
These people are all famous generals and geniuses who have been famous for a long time.
But Qiansheng, although he continues to create miracles in the Premier League, is only a newcomer after all, a young genius under the age of 16, in the eyes of most people.
The football world has always been a world of talented people, and it can be said that there is never a shortage of genius in the current football world.
There are many geniuses, but there are very few who can really play, after all, there are too many geniuses in football who hurt Zhongyong.
But Qiansheng has become the main force of the Three Lions, and even has signs of becoming the leader of the Three Lions, so that more and more people are starting to pay serious attention to the 15-year-old England international.
If you don't check it, you don't feel anything, and it scares many people when you check it.
I'm afraid no one has ever seen someone enter the national team at the age of 15 and become the main player of the national team.
More people found that England with dry life and England without dry life are completely two teams.
Some people even pointed out unceremoniously that England, without dry life, will not win two consecutive victories in the group stage, and the European Cup will not go far.
Of course, there are also many people who feel that this is too exaggerated and that the role of cadres is too great.
Whether it is praise or questioning, the popularity of Qiansheng through the European Cup, in FM games, the prestige will reach the continental.
After Albania, the country of eagles, Ukraine in Eastern Europe became the second European Championship participating country to return home early.
Northern Ireland, widely regarded as the weakest, will surely lose again in this round after losing to Poland in the first round and exit from the group stage. I didn't expect this one to be a big upset.
Less than five minutes into the second half and two goals before the end of the game, people were reminded of the wise saying that there is no weak team in Europe. If you can reach the finals of the European Cup, even if you are weak, you can't be weak, even Albania, which has lost two games in a row, is definitely not a recognized weak team from the perspective of the content of the game.
And the 0-0 draw in the fifth game between Germany and Poland showed the weakness of the World Cup winners.
The German team, which has played two consecutive games as a pseudo-striker, failed to win as desired to qualify for the group ahead of schedule like the last time it beat Ukraine, in addition to the curse of the German team's winless second round of the group since the competition, but also because of the fault line in the striker in Germany, which has been produced by the academy.
I don't know why, Juachim Loew just doesn't like Mario Gomez, the Turkish Super League Golden Boot, and prefers another Mario. This Mario's stunner in the 2014 World Cup final allowed Loew to finally win a heavyweight national team trophy, so even if this Mario can't play with the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich, he must be given the main position.
Given the abundance of talent in the German midfield, Loew came up with a pseudo-No.9 tactic like a genius, of course, this is not his original creation, the inventor is the Spanish coach Josep Guardiola.
But Guardiola's strikerless tactics were executed because he had superstar Leao Messi under his command.
Although there is no Messi in Germany, there is a weak version of Messi Mario Gotze, and some people say that he is the Messi of Germany, although Gotze does not like this name, he prefers everyone to call him Mario I.
The question is, what convincing performances did you put up with other than your lucky comeback off the bench in the World Cup final? The development of the past few years can be said to be Gotze's self-seeking, leaving the Hornets with himself as the tactical core and switching to German Hollywood, which can only sit on the bench and watch the water cooler.
Now I hope that Götze will move to Arsenal and improve again in the hands of Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger, who is good at turning waste into treasure, after all, at the age of 24, it is not too late.
This year's German team, judging from the squad, from goalkeepers, to defenders to midfielders, is indeed full of talent, and even Lucas Podolski, who has played the most times in the squad and scored the most goals, is in the midfield. As for the forward list, there are only three of them, the pseudo-No. 9 Gotze, who is only 20 years old, Leroy Sane, who has only made three appearances for the national team, and Gomez, who has not been reused by Loew.
