After winning 3-2 against defending champions France, England immediately became the focus of the whole of Europe and the world!

Bookmakers have adjusted England's odds to win the championship, and their odds have moved from the middle of the top 16 in Europe to the top three!

Chen Xi, who scored twice, also rushed to the first place in one fell swoop in the odds of the top scorer of this European Cup in the three major bookmakers, and the world's top scorers such as Henry, Vanney, and Vieri are ranked behind Chen Xi!

For this victory, the media in various European countries gave the England team a high evaluation!

The British media, in particular, called it an "epic" victory!

The reason is simple, this game has almost all the ingredients that a classic game has. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Penalty kick, penalty kick not scored, free kick goal, and a kick comparable to Van Basten's zero-degree goal in the '88 European Cup final!

"When England don't drop their chains, they're going to be the real kings!"

The German magazine Kicker took the title and mentioned in the article that they saw David Beckham miss a penalty and be scored by France in the final minute of the first half. They think England are going to have to drop their last name in a good situation. However, in the second half, England withstood the pressure and sealed the victory with a brilliant free-kick combination and a wonderful world wave, which made their last-minute penalty to France meaningless!

The editor of "Kicker" magazine also said that England have been one of the most favored teams in all major tournaments, but they have always dropped the chain at critical times, and if this England team overcomes this weakness, they will become a real king!

"The Three Lions beat the Gallic Roosters, and Edison's European Cup debut was comparable to Zizou!"

The Spanish newspaper "Marca" also said in their report that Chen Xi, who scored two goals directly in this game and planned a free kick with Beckham, is the hero of this Anglo-French battle, and the team's three goals are related to him. His important surname in the England team is almost comparable to that of Zizou in the French team!

"With a brace on the European Championship debut, the record finisher has set his sights on the European Championship goal record!"

The Telegraph is still focusing on Chen Xi's record, saying that after scoring twice in the first group game against France, Chen Xi will be expected to hit the record of 9 goals in a single European Championship held by former French superstar Michel Platini!

"The first victory over a strong opponent in the European Championship, England broke the cycle of winless in the first game!"

According to The Guardian, the match was a milestone victory for England, as it not only ended France's 11-month unbeaten run and 18 games without conceding a goal, but also won England's first European Championship opener.

They also said that after breaking this fate, England may also usher in the first European Championship trophy in history!

"Win the battle between Britain and France, the Three Lions will be the first in the group!"

The host media "Portugal Sport" believes that the England team has basically locked up the top spot in the group after defeating the French team, so that the Portuguese team, which has lost a game and is very likely to qualify as the second in the group, will likely meet England in the quarter-finals, which is obviously not good news for the host team!

"A defeat woke up the Gallic roosters, and the road to defending the title is full of thorns!"

The French newspaper "Team" optimistically said that the defeat in the Anglo-French war is not a bad thing, at least through this defeat reminded the players of the French team that the road to defending the title is not as smooth sailing as they imagined. In this way, since the French team will go all out to play the next games, this may be a good thing for the French team!

"See the zero-degree angle hanging shot again, the England teenager copies the classic!"

The Dutch "Rotterdam" Mail paid attention to Chen Xi's zero-degree angle hanging shot, they said that Chen Xi copied Van Basten's classic shot, and at the same time, they also predicted that it would not be long before Chen Xi could become a top superstar like Van Basten!

"Milan Sport" is also nostalgic for their former legendary goalscorer Van Basten by analyzing Chen Xi's goal. They also expressed the hope that Chen Xi can wear the same red and black striped shirt as Van Basten.

As soon as the news was reported, it received an enthusiastic response from AC Milan fans.

They are already fantasizing about what kind of power the front trident composed of Chen Xi, Kaka and Shevchenko will burst out!

At the same time, the Liverpool media slammed the newspaper Sport for poaching the wall.

Liverpool FC also severely condemned the report from Milan Sport.

All in all, after this game, almost the whole of Europe is talking about this Anglo-French battle that is destined to become a classic! ――

On June 14, Group C of the European Cup also kicked off!

The Italian team, which is a traditional powerhouse, also started its debut in this competition.

Italy's first match was against the Viking Denmark.

Many Italian fans in China stayed up late to watch the game, but disappointingly, what they were waiting for was a 0-0 draw!

The match became a show for Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and Danish goalkeeper Sorensen, who saved high and low to keep the city open for 90 minutes!

It was also the first draw since the two teams met eleven times.

The draw allowed Italy to continue their unbeaten run in their opening game at the European Championships, while Denmark were the opposite, yet to win their opening game at the European Championships!

Two hours and forty-five minutes later, another game of the group began!

Compared to the previous boring battle, the match between Sweden and Bulgaria was a goal shootout!

Of course, this goal shootout was purely a show by one team of the Swedish team!

5-0, with veteran Larsson's brace in 71 seconds and goals from Ibrahimovic, Ljungberg and substitute striker Auerbach, Sweden equaled the record for the largest score disparity in the European Championship!

This result also made the Chinese fans who were disappointed after watching the Italian team's game, and the Chinese fans who got up the next day to know the result were disappointed, lamenting their poor character, defending a game of 0-0, but missing a game of 5-0............ On June 15th, Group D is also the group of death of this European Cup!

Like the Anglo-French clash in Group B, there is also a key match in Group D, and that is a direct dialogue between Germany and the Netherlands!

But before that, the Czech Republic will play the weakest team in the group, Latvia!

Latvia, as the weakest team in Group D and even in this tournament, almost caused a big upset in the match against the Czech Republic!

After withstanding the Czechs' frenzied attack in the half, they scored the country's first goal of the tournament in first-half stoppage time to give them a lead over the Czechs!

However, in the second half, the Czechs showed their iron will, and with two goals from Chen Xi's club teammate Barosh and substitute striker Heinz, they completed the comeback and got three points!

…… At 8:45 p.m. local time, the German-Dutch battle started at the Dragon Stadium in Porto!

The match attracted the attention of German legends Beckenbauer, Rummenigge and Dutch godfather Cruyff!

There are also countless fans around the world waiting in front of the TV for this spotlight battle!

The course of this game did not disappoint the people who followed them!

Although there were only two goals, the game was far more exciting than the score!

The Dutch team, when they were led by the German team to play half-time, equalized the score in the last few minutes with a sideways volley from Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area, and let the German team also try the taste of being killed!

Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal is also considered to be a strong competitor to Chen Xi's zero-degree volley in the first round of the European Cup!

…… In this way, the first round of the group stage of the European Championship has been completed, and the round of 16 of the European Championship has made its debut.

It can be said that some people are happy and some are worried!

However, the group stage did not stop there, Group D ended, and Group A rekindled the fire!

The media and fans are full of expectations for this round of matches, although the confrontation between Portugal and Spain will be played in the final round, but whether the Greek team can continue to be a dark horse and whether the Portuguese team can complete self-redemption is not a small point of interest!

At 18 o'clock local time, the match between Spain and Greece started first!

In this game, Otto the Great Rehhagel still sacrificed the banner of defense!

However, the Matadors still had nearly half an hour into the game when last season's European Champions Cup Silver Boot scorer Morientes broke through the Greeks' bucket formation!

Just when people thought that Spain would easily win their second group game, Greece began to fight back and at the halfway point of the second half, Charlie Steas pulled a goal back!

1 to 1!

This result was clearly an acceptable result for both Rehhagel and the Greek team, so they began to shrink decisively again!

Spain obviously can't accept this outcome, and a draw in this game means they will have to fight Portugal in the final round!

Spanish coach Saiss has replaced Joaquin, Torres and other attackers, but they have failed to tear through the Greeks' defense again!

The score remained 1-1 until the end, and Otto the Great and his team continued the Greek myth!

After that, the host Portugal team also played a strong attack in the case of a back-to-back battle, and a clean 2-0 allowed them to retain their hopes of qualifying from the group.

Group A is over, and Group B is about to make the next appearance
