'He's still recovering from an injury and needs to rest, so it remains to be seen if he can play in tomorrow's quarter-finals. It may or may not be on. England boss Roy Hodgson was unclear about his injury at a press conference, leaving his opponents in the top half of the table in a state of dismay.

Although compared with the lower half of the death zone, the upper half of the zone is either a first-class team at the end of Europe or a second- or third-rate team, which can be described as a paradise, no matter which team it is, it is full of ambitions to reach the final.

But to enter the final, it is inevitable to meet the Three Lions with a big killer weapon, England's opponent in the first knockout game can be said to be the weakest in this semi-zone, and it is also the younger brother from the British Isles, Northern Ireland, with the strength of England, not entering the quarterfinals is the biggest upset in this European Cup.

For England, perhaps the real test comes in the quarter-finals, if Belgium are not dead.

It is said that scouts from Belgium, Croatia and Portugal have been inquiring about Qiansheng's injury, and for them, it would be best if Qiansheng continued to recover from his injury until the end of the European Championship, and in their opinion, England without Qiansheng is not a lion, but a kitten.

The Portuguese know this best. If Portugal goes all the way to the semi-finals, the biggest obstacle on the way to the final is England, if Qiansheng is not absent.

When Cristiano Ronaldo was interviewed and asked which team he felt was the most difficult to play among the opponents in the top half of the region, Ronaldo did not say that he had eliminated the defending champion Croatia, nor did he say that Belgium, the star and second ranked in the world, but England.

"Yes, England is the strongest, we played a game in England at the beginning of the month, and Gan's performance in that game was simply world-class. If we can get to the semi-finals, we have to find a way to contain him, otherwise we won't be able to get to the final. ”

If many people are to ask, who is the fastest player in this European Championship at the moment, after the group stage?

UEFA's official stats give the answer, England supernova Qiansheng is the No. 1 fastest horse so far, and there is no superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo in the top 10, much to the surprise of many fans.

In fact, if it weren't for the second game of the group stage, Qiansheng and Gareth Bale played each other, maybe this list of top ten fast horses would not have their names.

According to official UEFA figures, England's 2-1 win over Wales saw England's top speed of 36.66 km/h, the fastest player at the European Championship so far. In fact, this is not the first time that Qiansheng has soared such crazy speed, according to the official data of the Premier League, Qiansheng has soared to a limit speed of 39.99 km/h in eight Premier League games, which is almost like a supercar.

In the list of the top ten fast horses in the European Cup, in addition to the top of the list, Bale ranked second in that race, and his ultimate speed reached 33.53 km/h.

In third place is French rising star Kingsley Koeman with a top speed of 32.8 km/h.

Fourth is Hungarian defender Riehard Guzmish with a maximum speed of 31.6 km/h.

In fifth place is Icelandic Korben Sigsolsson, with a maximum speed of 31.5 km/h.

In sixth place is Icelandic defender Bilkir Sevarsson, with a maximum speed of 31.4 km/h.

Seventh is Swiss winger Javier Shaqiri, with a maximum speed of 31.4 km/h.

Eighth is Corey Evans of Northern Ireland with a limit speed of 31.2 km/h.

Ninth is Romanian defender Dragore Grigore with a maximum speed of 31.2 km/h.

The tenth is the Icelandic sniper Gilvi Pol Sigurdsson, with a maximum speed of 31.1 km/h.

In the top ten, there is no Ronaldo, it may be that most of the opponents in the group stage are mainly defensive counterattacks, so Ronaldo basically has no space to sprint and has no chance to show his speed.

Hodgson's smoke bombs weren't really clever, and perhaps England's staff did a good job of keeping secrets, and England didn't show up for several pre-match trainings, making the opponents in the top half of the table restless.

In the history of football, there has never been a shortage of examples of core players cheating injuries, and Qiansheng didn't seem to be seriously injured in the last game, plus he is very young and has good physical fitness, so if you believe what Hodgson, an old fox, said, hehe.

Despite being plagued by Qiansheng's injury, the game still had to be played step by step, after all, with the exception of Northern Ireland, they had to get past their opponents in front of them if they wanted to meet England.

At 2 p.m. on June 25, 2016, the first knockout match of the European Championship between Switzerland and Poland was played at the Gichhard Stadium in Saint-Etienne.

In the end, in regular time, Poland counterattacked in the 40th minute, scored by winger Kuba, and in the 83rd minute, Switzerland's Javier Shaqiri equalized with a beautiful barb from the edge of the penalty area. In the end, the two sides drew 1-1 and went into extra time.

The first knockout match went into extra time, which shows the intensity of the knockout round of the European Cup. Both sides had chances in 30 minutes of extra time, but neither side could find the back of the net, and the two sides eventually went to a brutal penalty shootout.

It was Switzerland who took the lead in the first round, with Swiss right-back Stefan Lichtsteiner scoring in the middle and Poland captain Robert Lewandowski firing into the top right corner.

In the second round, Swiss captain Granit Xhaka pushed and shot from the left! Polish striker Arcadius Milik hit the bottom right corner and Swiss goalkeeper Jan Sommer couldn't keep the ball out of the net despite pounce. Switzerland are 1-2 down!

In the third round, Shaqiri and Poland's Kamil Glick both shots, while in the fourth round, Swiss centre-back Fabian Schell and Polish winger Kuba both shot.

In the fifth round, Swiss left-back Ricardo Rodriguez pushed into the bottom right corner, and Polish midfielder Grigóz Korehowiak successfully scored, and finally Poland eliminated Switzerland 5-4 on penalties and 6-5 on aggregate, becoming the first team to advance to the quarterfinals of this European Championship.

After the game, Shaqiri, who scored a World Cup barb goal, was officially voted the best player of the match by UEFA.

The 30-year-old not only scored his 18th goal for Poland, but he was also the only Polish international to score in both European Championships.

What's even more interesting is that Poland has never lost a game when he has scored. In 18 of his 18 goals, Poland has an unbeaten record of 18 wins and 8 draws, and what is even more valuable is that Poland has been directly involved in 5 of the 6 goals in the finals since the last European Championship with 3 goals and 2 assists.

The Polish captain, who should have shouldered the burden of scoring goals, the Bundesliga Golden Boot Lewandowski's goal drought in the national team continues. After the match against the Swiss team, Lewandowski has not scored in eight consecutive international matches, and as the top scorer in the European Championship qualifiers, when the Polish captain can score the first goal of this European Championship is also the focus of fans' attention.

Despite not being able to help his team with goals, Poland boss Adam Navaca was pleased with his performance: "Robert creates space for his team-mates by drawing attention from opponents, and Robert's role on the pitch should never be underestimated. ”

With 0 goals in 643 minutes, when will the current top 10 striker break this embarrassing record?

After Switzerland were eliminated, the tearful image of their captain Xhaka was seen in the tunnel of the players.

Seeing the sad appearance of his teammates, Qiansheng sighed slightly, a game of life and death, the cruelty of the knockout round, Qiansheng will soon experience it, but he doesn't want to experience failure, what he wants is victory!

As soon as the Ripple battle was over, both England and Northern Ireland took to the pitch under the leadership of Slovenian referee Damir Scomina, who officiated the game.

When Qiansheng followed his teammates onto the pitch, more than 20,000 English fans at the Parc des Princes in Paris cheered, as if seeing Qiansheng playing, the game was secured.

In the studio of the stadium, in addition to Martin Taylor, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer, there are several more guests from China.

"The Goddess's European Cup" is a European Cup-themed reality show jointly performed by Liu Xixi, the hero and goddess of the Chinese sports industry, plus Xie Xiaoqian, the female anchor of "Travel Embarrassment" and many mysterious guests.

The reality show is divided into two parts, exploration and experience, with France as the main battlefield and exploring the customs of the surrounding popular football countries.

In the exploration chapter, the famous Chinese Wanhe comedian Bai Ke, Kong Lianshun, Fan Xiaodong and Chen Lin were invited as the starting lineup, and there were more unexpected guests after that.

Since Liu Xixi is a partner of Yueshi Sports, the broadcast platform of this reality show is Yueshi Video.

This program has been broadcast on April 28 until now, and it has been broadcast in 26 episodes, especially during the European Championship, which is broadcast on a two-day schedule.

Due to some reasons, Liu Xixi's program failed to participate in England's group stage, which also led to a significant decrease in video traffic during the England game, so Yueshi Sports quickly adjusted the program arrangement, and after communicating with Sky Sports and BBC, coupled with the assistance of Qiansheng's agent Mino Raiola, England finally caught up with the first knockout game of this European Championship.

In order to achieve the greatest effect, this time "Goddess's European Cup" for the first time to take the way of live broadcast, so that Huaxia fans can intuitively see the largest studio and three major commentaries of Sky Sports, it is said that the traffic of Huaxia that night almost collapsed Yueshi Video, and the traffic of other videos almost hit the lowest ever, which made the video website company regret it.

It turns out that the biggest IP of the European Cup is the game of the England team with dry life! (To be continued.) )
