The European Championship will not stop with defending champions France in trouble. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On June 18, the match in Group C was also rekindled.

In the first game, Denmark beat Bulgaria 2-0 cleanly. In this way, the Bulgarian team has already taken the lead in saying goodbye to the European Championship.

Forty-five minutes after the end of this match, the highlight of the group, the match between Italy and Sweden, kicks off at the Porto Dragons Stadium!

Due to the first group game, the Italian team was forced to draw by the Danish team, and this game also became the last battle of the Italian team!

Totti, the absolute core of the Italian team, can only sit in the stands and watch the game because of the spit incident that was changed into a flash game by the game company after the last game!

Totti's club teammate, Cassano, who is also a bad boy, takes his place!

Trapattoni lined up in a four-three-two-one Christmas tree formation, with Inter's powerful centre-forward Vieri at the front, followed by Cassano and Piero.

Pirlo, Gattuso and Perrotta form the barrier in front of the Italian penalty area, and as for the backline, Panucci, Cannavaro, Nesta and Zambrotta plus the goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon are the most luxurious configurations in world football today!

With strong control in the midfield, the Italian team started the game with the initiative all the time.

Sweden could only cope with it, and finally, after more than half an hour of play, Cassano, who replaced Totti today, broke the deadlock for Italy with a header!

In the second half of the game, the Italian team, which led by one goal, also played a defensive counterattack with peace of mind.

When the Italian team is determined to defend, it is difficult for the average team to knock on the door of the Italian team with the usual method!

The Swedish team also had nothing to do with the Italian team's defense.

This situation continued until the last five minutes of the game, when Sweden were awarded a corner!

Karlström takes a corner, Swedish centre-back Melberg can't get it on target, the ball falls into the middle of the Italian penalty area, Ljungberg can't kick the ball with a barb, and the ball goes to Ibrahimovic's side again!

The Swedish centre-forward was facing away from goal and the ball was a difficult half-high ball, so the Swedish big man looked like no threat to the Italians at this time.

However, Ibrahimovic showed dexterity that did not match his height!

I saw him jump directly with his back, raise his right foot, and use the outside instep to knock the ball into the goal behind him.

The ball passed the block of the Italian goalkeeper Buffon and flew directly to the dead corner of the goal!

This unbelievable goal stunned the entire Italian fans at the Dragon Stadium, and even the Swedish fans did not expect the team to equalize in such a way!

Only the Swedish big man who had made an incredible shot on goal and his teammates celebrated!

The score of 1 to 1 was also maintained to the end!

After this draw, the situation of qualifying for Group C became delicate.

Sweden and Denmark have four points each, and they will face each other in the last game, while Italy have two points and the last game against Bulgaria, who are already out of the tournament.

If Sweden and Denmark draw and Italy win, there will be three teams with five points in this group!

It stands to reason that in this case, the fate of the Italian team should be in their own hands, because as long as they can beat Bulgaria in their last game, they will be able to determine a qualifying place by virtue of the goal advantage, and they can also sit back and watch the Nordic two fight to the death!

However, UEFA, which likes to be different, has just revised the calculation of the same number of points in the European Championship group before the opening of this tournament.

According to the new rules, in the event of a tie between two or more teams, the results of the match between them will be counted first.

If the final result is that Italy, Sweden, and Denmark have 5 points, and the meetings between the three teams all end in a draw, and the points and goal difference of each other's results must also be the same, it must be judged by the number of goals scored in each other's matches.

At present, Italy has scored 1 goal in 2 games, Sweden has scored 1 goal in 1 game, and Denmark has scored 0 goals in 1 game, which means that if Sweden and Denmark only need to score 2-2 in the last game, then even if the Italians beat Bulgaria 100-0, they can still only watch the two Nordic brothers advance together.

Perhaps a month ago, no one could have imagined that this new rule would be the first to strangle Italians. At this time, people can't help but wonder if the two Nordic powerhouses will stage a buddy and join forces to defeat the Italian team?

If that's the case, the Italian team will be the first victim of the new rules!

Of course, the reason for this situation can only be blamed on the poor performance of the Italian team in the first two rounds, and if they had established their advantage early, then this strange situation would not have happened!

The defending champions and runners-up of the last European Championship have been in big trouble in the group stage, and this European Championship is as unusual as people expected before! ――

A day later, the Group D of the Group of Death matches started again!

This group is a favorite among fans because there are three world-class teams in it, which also means that there is at least one strong conversation in every round!

This round of the clash will be between the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, but before that, Germany will play Latvia first!

Latvia's status in this group is that of the prince's bookboy, who scored the first major goal in Latvia's history in the first round of the game, and they have already completed the breakthrough of the historical surname.

However, the Latvian team is unconsciously moving towards the step of "scoring a goal, scoring a point"!

In this match with the German team, the Latvian team put on a defensive counterattack posture, the 02 World Cup runner-up, the three-time World Cup champion Germany team is the Latvian team's backline!

When referee Nelson blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was 0-0!

As a result, after France and Italy, the third world champion-level team in the European Championship is in trouble, and Germany has only two points from two games and has to face the Czech Republic in the last game!

Compared to this 0-0 draw, the match between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic can be said to be the most exciting and dramatic game since this European Cup!

As soon as the game began, the Dutch team showed their signature attack!

In the third minute, defender Bouma's header gave the Netherlands the lead!

Fifteen minutes later, Peter Pan's Robben run on the side gave Vanney another chance to open the net!

2-0, less than twenty minutes into the game, the Dutch team took a two-goal lead.

On top of that, they had countless chances, and Seedorf hit the post once!

It was not only thought that the Netherlands would win by a big margin against the Czech Republic!

However, the Czechs played more like their group opponents, Germany, and with a two-goal lead, they showed unparalleled courage!

Before half-time, Kohler, a tall striker over two metres tall, helped the Czechs pull a goal back.

In the second half, Advocaat made a streak and replaced Robben, who was the most active player of the game.

Robben's dismissal made the Czech team have a lot less scruples and attack more crazy!

Chen Xi's two Liverpool teammates, Smitchell and Baros, each scored a goal to help the Czech Republic complete the craziest reversal of this European Cup!

Advocaat paid the price for his conservatism...... After two rounds of Group D, no one expected that the Czech team would become the first in the group with two wins in two games, and locked the first place in the group in advance! ――

The two rounds of the group stage of the European Championship are over, and the result of the game is happy and worried!

The plight of the three traditional powerhouses of France, Italy and Germany has made the media exclaim, and this year's European Championship will most likely become a dark horse venue like the previously concluded European Champions Cup!

Even some media outlets that are not traditional football powerhouses have said that European football is very likely to be reshuffled!

On June 21, the final round of the group stage of the European Championship began.

The first to play is still Group A!

The two traditional giants of Group A, Portugal and Spain, are also not having a good time, and this match is not a loss for both of them!

The Spanish team is relatively optimistic, with one win and one draw in the first two rounds, allowing them to secure a place in this game with only one draw!

The Portuguese team is only expected to qualify from the group if it wins, which can be described as a back-to-back battle!

In the other game, Russia were already out of the tournament early, while Greece only needed a draw to secure qualification from the group. As a result, the team that was the least favored before the start of the tournament became the least stress-free team in this group!

At 8:45 p.m., both games started at the same time!

On the side of Portugal and Spain, when the players of both sides were still upside down and eyebrows, the news of the goal came from the other stadium.

In one minute and seven seconds, Russia's Kachulanis broke through the door of the Greek team with a lightning attack! It was also the fastest goal in the history of the European Championship finals!

Russia's goal is good news for both Spain and Portugal, as whoever wins will have a chance of topping the group and avoiding England!

Nine minutes later, when the two European Latin teams finally got their feet hot and ready to kick off the attack, the other field scored again!

It's Russia again, and Blikin's header gives Russia a two-goal lead!

It took only 10 minutes for the Russian team to knock on the door of the Greek team, which took 90 minutes for Spain and Portugal, two strong teams, to knock on the door of the Greek team, which made Russian fans sigh that the team's state came too late!

Greece coach Rehhagel couldn't help but shake his head secretly for the team's performance, after defending two games, he finally wanted to give the players a free hand to kick, but the team played with fire, which also made Otto the Great strengthen his determination to continue to play defensive tactics.

As time went on, the Portuguese team, who had been watching another game of the Greek team, seemed to suddenly remember the disadvantageous situation they found themselves in...... Even if the Greek team loses, if the Portuguese team can't win, because of the win-loss relationship between the two teams, they will still be eliminated!

As a result, the Portuguese team also launched a stormy attack!

It's just that until the end of the first half, when the Greek team pulled back a goal, the score was still 0-0!

I believe that at this time, most of the Chinese fans have already changed the channel to watch the game between Greece and Russia when both games are broadcast on CCTV, although most of the players of those two teams do not know, but at least there is passion!

In the second half, Portugal coach Scolari couldn't hold it first, and he replaced the Portuguese team's "super sub" Gomez!

The goalscorer, who was a big hit at the last European Championship and then had a mediocre performance at the club, came up to Portugal to score a goal with his shot through the crotch of Spanish defender Juanito and save the goal!

At that moment, the entire Alvalad Stadium was boiling!

Now, it's the turn of the Matador Spain team in a hurry!

If the score is maintained until the end, they will be eliminated because of the lack of goals, even though they are on the same level as Greece and have the same goal difference and the relationship between goals and losses!

The matadors, who were able to calmly fall to their feet and accept a draw before, could not help but be in a hurry at this time.

Seth continued to deploy troops, hoping to recover the score.

However, although the rest of the two games were extremely hot, neither scored again!

Like the England team, the Spanish team, which has always been known as a pseudo-strong team, continued their tradition of dropping the chain at critical times, driving high and going low, and being eliminated.

The host Portugal team was ashamed and brave, winning two games in a row after losing the opening game and becoming the first in the group!

They also became the second team after Denmark, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Turkey and Spain to lose their first group game but finally qualified.

Of course, compared to Portugal, Greece's qualification to the group stage is even more surprising!

Rehhagel, who single-handedly created the myth of Kaiserslautern back then, also made the media exclaim that he was about to create a "Greek myth" again! ――

The dust has settled on Group A, and people have shifted their attention to Group B!

There is no suspense about winning the group in Group B, and England has locked up the top spot in the group ahead of schedule with a two-game winning streak.

As for the other three teams, there is still hope of qualifying!

Yes, after a draw and a heavy defeat, the Swiss thought that their European Championship had ended early, but the French team was unexpectedly forced to draw by the Croatian team, which gave them hope of qualifying again!

As long as England can beat Croatia and they can beat France, they will be second in the group!

In the past, the Swiss team was not optimistic about themselves under the siege of England and France, but now they only need to win one game to hope for qualifying, which is relatively less difficult. After all, the football field is full of unpredictable surnames, didn't the Greek team also win against Portugal?

In the eyes of the French players, it is not a problem to win the Swiss team in the last game, but the problem is that even if they win the Swiss team, they may not be able to guarantee qualification with four points, because as long as Croatia wins against England, their points will reach five!

England have already secured top spot in the group, and who knows if they won't retain their strength in the final round, or if they are simply intent on beating France?

Simonette, president of the French Football Federation, said in an interview that he hoped that the England team would play this game in the spirit of fair play: "England have always been very professional teams, and I believe they know very well the importance of fair play in a competition. In a big tournament like the European Championship, I want every game to be played in the spirit of fair play! ”

It is said that in private, Simonette also urged UEFA to strengthen the supervision of the match between England and Croatia to prevent the two teams from doing something "against the spirit of fair play"!

France coach Santini seems to have forgotten the war of words before the Anglo-French war, and at this time he said good things about the England team: "England was the first country in world football to become professional, and I believe that the work ethic of their players is also the best. I hope and believe that England will give it their all against Croatia! ”

In addition to coach Alexis Santini, the players of the French team have also made contact with their club-mates in the England team, hoping that they can give their best in this game.

Nearly half of the players in the French team play in the Premier League, and even Zidane, who plays in La Liga, is a club teammate with England captain David Beckham, and through this relationship, it seems that the England team can take it seriously in the last game!

However, England boss Christian Eriksen was not very convinced, saying in an interview: "In the last game, I will make some changes to the squad to give some players who have not played yet to feel the atmosphere of the tournament. ”

However, Eriksen also said that although he will make changes to the lineup, his team will still take this game seriously!

Chen Xi, who performed best in this European Cup, also denied in an interview that he would release water in the last game: "In a big tournament like the European Cup, no one will play a game with the attitude of not wanting to win, and it is impossible for us to make a move against the spirit of fair play." If I play against Croatia, I'll give it my all because the win is ...... Always my only goal! ”

Chen Xi's statement also made the fans of the French team breathe a sigh of relief, the last time the two teams played directly, they had also seen Chen Xi's power, as long as he can play his best, it may be very difficult for the Croatian team to win.

Later, Fat Rooney also gave an interview: "Although some guys in the French team are very annoying, I will not release water in the game because of personal grudges." I'm enjoying scoring at the Euros and if I'm able to play in this game I hope to score again. Of course, I'm scoring goals to help the team win! ”

Chen Xi and Rooney, the two popular fried chickens in the England team, have expressed their positions, and the French media and fans are also relieved.

After all, the two of them don't have teammates from the French team at the club, and they both said that they would go all out, so the club teammates of some French team players will naturally not slack off
