Chapter 60: What is Dominance?

After two rounds of matches, the teams that still did not qualify in advance from the four groups are about to be revealed, and the third round of the group stage of the European Championship is played, with the host Poland and the Czech Republic team having been eliminated early.

If the Polish team wants to appear, it must defeat the Czech Republic, and Belgium must also defeat Russia to do so, which seems to be entrusting its fate to someone else's hands, which makes the Poles a little unhappy.

0:1!

But by the end of the game, the Poles may not have figured out what was going on.

As one of the hosts of Euro 2012, Poland have been drawn in Group A, alongside defending champions Belgium, the Czech Republic and Russia.

In the end, Poland lost in the final round after scoring two points in the first two games, and finally missed the quarterfinals of the European Championship, and still failed to achieve a "zero breakthrough" in the history of the European Championship.

This is the first time Poland has hosted an international tournament and the second time they have participated in the European Championships, even in the heyday of Polish football, they have never played in the top competition of European football.

They made their debut at the European Championships four years ago and returned home after the group stage, but it was a shame that they were unable to achieve their best result at home this time.

In the opening game, Polish striker Robert Lewandowski scored the first goal of the tournament, but the Belgian who was without Digan eventually equalised and Poland missed out on their first European Championship win in the club's history.

In the second round, they conceded a goal first, and captain Blaszczykovski equalized the score, and in the final round they beat the Czech Republic in the final round after two games and two draws, but in the end, the Czechs shattered the hosts' dreams and Poland failed to reach the quarter-finals of the European Championship.

Before the start of the European Championship, coach Smuda tried a variety of formations, and finally returned to the team's best 4231 formation, the main reason for which is that the "Dortmund trio" Lewandowski, Blaszczykowski and Piszczek played in this formation in the Bundesliga champions.

In the goalkeeper position, Arsenal's main Szczesny is the most reassuring link, and in the backline, the combination of Bernisch, Perki, Vasilewski and Piszczek has been used for three games, and it has never changed, although Poland conceded goals in the group stage, but only three goals conceded in total is related to this.

In the midfield, the main midfield partners are Polanski and Dudeka, the captain Blaszczykowski is on the right wing, Oblagnak, who can play as a forward midfielder and on the left wing, is responsible for organizing the attack, and the other attacking midfielder is rotated by Rebus and Muravski, and Lewandowski's main position in the front line is not moving.

Smuda's tactics are based on flying on both wings and outflanking in front of the center, but the Polish team relies too much on the Dortmund combination on the right side, and it can even be said that this is the only starting point of its attack, in fact, it is completely impossible to fly on both wings, and once the right side is locked by the opponent, the Poles have almost no alternatives, which is why they only scored two goals in three games, and today the Czechs saw this, and finally left the European Championship with a victory, leaving the host's corpse behind.

In the end, the hosts Poland failed to show their convincing strength, although the team already had a number of talented people who were known in Europe, and their inefficiency and lack of scoring skills were difficult to overcome for a while.

What's more, Poland are not even second-rate in European football at the moment, they are the only UEFA team in the round of 16 to be ranked outside the 24th place in the UEFA national team, which means that it will still be difficult for them to reach the European Championship in France in four years' time.

In fact, if it is not the host country, whether they can qualify for this European Championship is still in suspense, the current problem of Polish football is the same as that of Eastern European football, although there are still stars on the rise, but the overall strength has declined, and it is difficult to make a big difference in the tournament.

In another match played at the same time, Belgium faced Russia, because the two games were started at the same time, so both teams were in danger of being eliminated before the game, and they did their best in the game.

Digan, who has become the king of Belgium, lined up 433 in the game, on the front line, he and Hazard were separated on the wings, Lukaku in the middle, in the midfield, Na England, Fellaini and Martens were in charge, Pocconioli, Kompany, Vermaelen and Alderweireld were still in the back, and Courtois was still the goalkeeper.

As soon as it came up, Belgium launched a fierce offensive, although the Russian team has the new and old tsars in charge, but the overall strength is obviously not Belgium's opponent.

Only five minutes into the game, Belgium took the lead in scoring, Digan pulled to the side to receive Fellaini's pass, and then ran all the way to the danger zone of Russia, facing the defenders, suddenly cut inside, the Russian team suddenly felt like a big enemy, and the entire defense line was moving in the direction of Degan.

But at this moment, Digan did not choose to pass the ball to the unmarked Hazard, or Lukaku, who was already in position in the box, but fired a long-range shot.

The goalkeeper of the Russian team, Akinfeev, did not react at all, and could only watch in amazement as the football crossed a beautiful arc and drilled into the corner of the goal.

1:0!

Deegan has scored his fourth goal of this tournament.

But Degan's performance did not end here, it seems that he was thrown on the bench by Wilmots in the first round of the group stage, which directly stifled his anger value to MAX, and the hat-trick in the second round of the group stage was not enough to completely solve it, and Degan was even more firepower in this game.

In the thirtieth minute of the first half, Degan moved to the middle, after winning the ball, he rushed forward, Lukaku and Hazard quickly split sides, pulled the opponent's defense for Digan, so that Degan could run all the way into the Russian team's penalty area, in the face of the opponent's encirclement and interception, Degan completed a classic waltz in the penalty area, and after shaking off Akinfeev, he easily picked up and kicked the ball into the net.

2:0!

"No one can question Degan's dominance on the pitch, at any time, as long as he stands on the pitch, he will always be that unique king, I don't know how the Barcelona people will feel when they see this scene, Rosell may regret it, because of his weakness, Barcelona missed, the greatest star in their history!"

In the second half, Dugan scored another from a free-kick opportunity to complete his hat-trick for the second game in a row and set up Eden Hazard for a late goal.

4:0!

Belgium won against Russia, and at this time, the other match was over, the Czech Republic defeated Poland, and Belgium and Russia, the opponents of this match, joined hands in qualifying.

When the game was over, the Belgian fans at the scene were still reluctant to leave for a long time, and they kept chanting in the stands: "Rhodes! King! Rod! King! ”

When Wilmots on the sidelines saw this scene, his expression was gloomy!
