In the other match in Group A, the Matadors Spain performed quite well with a 1-0 victory over Russia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the end of the Group A match, everyone quickly withdrew their attention from the unpopularity of the opening station and turned their attention to the focus of Group B, the battle between Britain and France!

England and France are both absolute powerhouses in world football today, and they are also the favorites to win this European Cup!

Among them, the French team, as the defending champion, is aiming to defend the European Cup after experiencing the painful memories of the 02 World Cup!

Before the European Cup, the French team has been unbeaten in 18 games, since last year's 1-0 defeat to Cameroon on June 29 last year has not conceded a goal, with "such as the sky" to describe Santini's French team is not too much, with Henry, Zidane led by the Gallic Rooster is seen by many as the most popular team to win the European Cup.

The outside world is also very optimistic about the French team, which can be seen from the odds offered by the three major bookmakers to win the championship.

Of the sixteen teams, only France's odds fell below 2!

As for the England team, they are the focus of this tournament because of the team's luxurious squad!

However, due to the performance of the England team in previous tournaments, their odds to win the championship this time are not impressive. It is listed behind Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and the Netherlands, and about the same as the Czech team.

In addition to the attention of the two teams themselves, this game has also been listed by the media as many highlights!

First of all, the Anglo-French war is also seen as a "civil war" between the Premier League's biggest teams!

In the squad of the England national team, the players of big4 occupy most of the country, and the starting lineup can basically be divided by the four major teams of the Premier League, except for the goalkeeper and striker Rooney, other players are from big4.

In the starting lineup of the French team, more than half of the players are from the Premier League.

Among them, Arsenal, which has a French coach, is the "big spender" of the French team, Henry, Pire, and Vieira are the main players of Arsenal and the French team, and Wiltord is also an important substitute for the French team.

French striker Thierry Henry said of his England team-mate Campbell: "Campbell and Blanco have technical similarities. The game in Lisbon will be fierce on Wednesday as Campbell is an iron gate at the back of the England defence. When you face Campbell's defence, trust me, it's not fun, it's very difficult to get past him. ”

In addition, Chelsea also contributed to Galla and Makelele.

Plus Silvestre from Manchester United and Manchester United's abandoned bald goalkeeper Butters.

Almost half of the main squad of the French team is occupied by Premier League players!

Among them, many players from England and France are teammates of the club, but this time they have become life-and-death opponents, and it is not too much to say that this is a "civil war" in the Premier League!

Of course, when it comes to the Premier League civil war, the Real Madrid civil war between Zidane and Beckham cannot be ignored!

As the most watched superstars of the two teams, they will also be "in the same room" from the Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid!

Speaking of Beckham, Zidane did not hesitate to praise himself: "I know Beckham very well in the past year, he has performed very well this season. He's a great player and I think he's shown that over the course of the year. Even if he changes his position on the field, he is still very threatening. Of course I think it's going to be tough for him and I hope we can control him. ”

Zidane's reference to the change in position refers to Beckham's playing as a central midfielder at Real Madrid, but in the national team he will return to the right-back position he is more familiar with.

When Beckham was asked if they would be afraid of France, he was also adamant: "France are a very good team and they are going to go far. But we are not worse than them, we can go very far, maybe we and France will meet again in the final! Anyway, it's going to be a tough game and it's going to be very difficult to win. Therefore, we must do everything we can to win. But on the other hand, when we give it our all, we can do something extraordinary. ”

Although the French team is very favored and the French players are full of confidence in the match against England.

The British press, however, is a reminder of how their ancestors were ravaged and devastated by the British Empire over the past century.

With 7 wins, 5 draws and 23 defeats, this is the overall record of 35 meetings between France and the United Kingdom. Chinese football has a famous "Koreanophobia", but France was invincible to England for 25 years in the early years, and once suffered from "Anglophobia", and their era was much more miserable than the Chinese team...... England started professional football as early as 1884, while France became professional even later than Canada and the United States, and 48 years later than England.

The first meeting between France and Great Britain was on November 1, 1906. The Stade des Princes staged a horrific "massacre", with the visitors winning 15-0 with a near-handball scoreline. In the 90 minutes of play, English goalkeeper Plaude only touched the ball twice, and he was shivering with cold on the side of the goal. It was France's fifth match in two and a half years.

Two years later, in the spring, the French Football Federation decided to go to the birthplace of football to learn from its experience. It was Monday, the first time France wore their blue jerseys, and the 30,000-capacity Royle Park Stadium had only a quarter of the attendance because the English were not interested in the French team. France's last appearance, goalkeeper Patón, was unavailable because he did not have permission from his team. His replacement, Renault, was conceded another 12 goals in this game.

"We've lost three goals and we've made a noticeable improvement!" The spokesman for the French team comforted himself. The press at the time used a caricature of the French team: a groveling Mariana flattering a pot-bellied British. Historically, these two countries separated by the English Channel have fought wars for hundreds of years, and it can be said that they have been enemies for generations.

May 5, 1921 marks the 100th anniversary of Napoleon's death and is one of the most memorable in the history of French football. After 15 years of hard work, France defeated England for the first time. Previously, the French team had 7 games, with a goal ratio of 1 to 60!

30,000 Parisians rode bicycles and buses to the stadium in the Visenés Forest to watch the game, and the stands were packed. There were not enough seats, so many fans brought folding chairs and sat on the sidelines of the stadium to help. The 2-1 score left the French ecstatic: the next day the local newspaper in Paris called on fans to donate money to give money to 11 heroes. However, the vast majority of the players in the England team that lost to them were amateurs, and this was the last time the British sent an amateur team to play against France.

Two years later, the two teams met again, with the British avenging their revenge 4-1, and the French did not beat their opponents again for nearly a decade.

The French had been "Anglophobic" for 25 years, and their first defeat of the real, professional England national team was on 14 May 1931, with a 5-1 victory. When the two sides exchanged jerseys after the game, the Frenchman noticed that their team jerseys were made of silk, while their own jerseys were made of cotton, which at that time was a very expensive textile.

This was already an old yellow calendar, but it was turned out by the British media!

Even though they don't remember any "Anglophobia" with the development of French football in recent years, the English media clearly hope to demoralize the French in this way.

However, France coach Santini also responded to the news: "It seems that the English really like to reminisce about the past!" They have found out the history of more than 100 years ago. Of course, I can understand them, after all, they haven't won a World Series in almost 40 years, and they like to reminisce...... It's also normal! ”

Santini is obviously satirizing England's poor record in recent years, and can only use the past glory to prop up the façade!

originally wanted to humiliate the French, but I didn't expect to be humiliated by them, and the English media's approach this time was obviously spraying ash.

However, they also managed to ignite the smell of gunpowder between the two teams and make the two teams fight a war of words!

Ginger Head Scholes was the first to respond to Santini: "The French team has a brilliant record in recent years, but if I'm not mistaken, it should be Jacques who led France to win the championship, so I don't know why anyone is so proud!" ”

Scholes's riposte is not incisive, and his meaning is obvious, while Santini is satirizing the English media for talking about the past glory, why is he not using Jacquet's record to put gold on his face? After all, he has yet to win any decent accolades for leading the French team!

Seeing the coach of the team being sprayed, and talking about his club's sworn enemy, Vieira stood up decisively: "I want to say that some people should forget about their accolades at the club, because his performance in the national team is simply useless!" ”

Patrick Vieira is clearly slamming Paul Scholes for his club's stellar record, but his international record is terrible.

Although they are mortal enemies at club and Manchester United, Chen Xi is still on Scholes's side when it comes to the national team, and he countered Vieira's words: "Of course, some people don't want to mention the club record, because he hasn't even won the European championship in the club!" ”

Chen Xi's words are not poisonous, although Vieira has also won a lot of championships at Arsenal, but only the most important Champions League trophy is missing!

Although Chen Xi is young and has only played professional football for two years, his honor is the envy of most professional players, and he has won seven championship trophies in two years, including two European trophies, such efficiency can be called a "trophy reaper"!

In the French team, in addition to Vieira, Galla is also a trouble-provoking thorn. This time, he obviously forgot the fact that he was completely blown up by Chen Xi in the league.

The guy said in an interview: "I think some people are starting to get carried away, obviously forgetting that his seniority on the football field is so shallow. I want to remind some young people that he should take care of his 'guy' off the pitch and not go around making trouble, but I have seen countless young players ruin themselves because of their inappropriate private lives! ”

Although Gala put on a posture of reminding the juniors, she actually used the scandals that Chen Xi had spread before as a means to attack Chen Xi!

Before Chen Xi could fight back, as the youngest player in the England team, Rooney stood up, he said in an interview: "I can't get used to some people using seniority to pressure people, experience on the football field is very important, but some people, after playing football for so many years, are still frizzy like a young man, and he sprays people at every turn, which really doesn't look like an admirable 'senior'!" ”

Another striker of the England team, Owen, also stood up to express his support for Chen Xi: "I think some people have forgotten how they were blown up by Edison in the league. It's all about strength, not seniority! Moreover, the seniors who are really qualified will not use their qualifications to oppress people! ”

…… What started as a conversation between teams turned out to be a mutual insult between players, and the two teams, with the exception of individual players, even many substitutes jumped out to participate in the war.

It can be said that before the game started, the two teams were already pinching each other off the field.

It's the media that laughs the most, because in this way, they find a good topic to cover and can increase sales.

At the same time, the attention of the fans was also completely attracted to this game, and their eyes were already on the Stadium of Light in Lisbon at night...... - ps: Because of the Anglo-French grievances, some information was borrowed, so a few hundred words were deliberately added. Well, just to tell you that the lid is not a word count.
