Hats off to the losers!

Although Turkey still lost the match 1-3 in the end, although it was the Belgians who reached the final, although Turkey could not make another miraculous comeback. But there is a lot of omission to the losers, they are the losers on the pitch, but they are the spiritual winners, and no one will forget their performances at this European Championship, which will be forever recorded in the history books of the tournament as the eventual winners.

If you don't believe in miracles in this world, then look at the Turks, they are miracles.

When the game was over, Digan walked to the mixed area and said in an interview with the media: "This is a European Championship for the Turks. ”

Degan rarely admires his opponents, and he likes to beat the reservoir dogs, but when it comes to Turkey, Degan rarely gives a very high evaluation.

The Turks do have reason to be commended, and in this European Championship, the Star and Moon Army have won everyone's respect with their tenacious will, and they cannot be crushed by the score behind, they cannot be crushed by penalty shootouts, they cannot be crushed by injuries, and they are also not crushed by suspensions.

Facing Belgium, the pre-match favorite, Trim casually cobbled together a starting lineup, but the Belgians, who easily eliminated Germany, were embarrassed, and even took the lead in the game.

There are only seven substitutes on the Turkish team's list, half less than Belgium's 12, and in fact, these seven substitutes are still all the players in the Turkish team who are not suspended and are eligible to play, and even fewer can actually play.

When the players warmed up before the start of the game, the German team was a large group of substitutes walking monkeys, and the Turkish team only had four substitutes playing juggling the ball, Emre, Kaladniz, Metin and Mevrut, and the other substitute, goalkeeper Tolga, who claimed to be likely to play forward, shot in front of the arc of the penalty area, which was all the pieces that Trim could mobilize, and Emre's injury was not yet able to play.

If you want to compare more intuitively, you might as well imagine an England that James, Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Lampard, Beckham, Joe Cole, Owen and Rooney can't play, is such a patchwork Turkish second team, almost overturning the European Red Devils.

After the game, even Belgium coach Antienes said he was lucky to win: "It was a tough game, the Turks were very tenacious and strong, we didn't play as well as the game against Germany, and a little bit luckily the final result was what we wanted. ”

No one expected that the Turks, who had a seriously disorganized lineup, would start the game with a furious attack, and despite the lack of available soldiers on the bench, Trim still commanded the team to press all over the field.

The fans were stunned, and so was the Belgian team, who were completely overwhelmed by the Turks' toughness, and in the first 20 minutes of the opening period, they were unable to successfully deliver football to the opponent's half.

Trim chose the Belgian team's right side of the defensive line, which had performed well in the previous games, as the main breakthrough, and made full use of the gap left by Van Bitten's assist and the weakness of the Belgian flanks to launch a fierce attack and finally score a goal.

Although the Turks only had a short lead before being equalised by a free-kick from Digan, the Turks did not seem to intend to give up at all, and in the second half, the attack of the Star and Moon Army, who were behind the score, were still fierce, constantly improving their technical statistics, and the two full-backs Kazim and Boyar were particularly active, making the two Belgian wings unscathed.

Although the drop in energy prevented the Turks from pressing as frantically as they did in the first half, they were able to use their stubborn will to control the game.

Although in the end the Turks still had to say goodbye to this European Championship, they left with their heads held high and they did the best they could.

After three consecutive games to achieve a big comeback, the Star Moon Legion's luck has finally run out.

From a 1-0 lead to a 3-1 defeat, the Turkish team exposed a big problem when their magical aura faded, not playing when they were ahead.

From the first round of the group stage onwards, the Turks staged a shocking comeback in every game. In the final game of the group, in the case of falling behind 0:2, the Turks scored three goals in a row in the first 15 minutes of the final game, and in the quarterfinals, Turkey equalized in the last minute of extra time.

In this game, Turkey took a surprising early lead, in the previous games, the Turks were in the final moments of the game, almost no chance to play on the field with the lead, but this time they scored early, and only 4 minutes after holding the lead in their hands, their own door was knocked open by the Belgian team.

Then, before the end of the first half, the Belgian team took the lead again, this time, the goddess of victory "abandoned" them, and in the second half, Gul's penalty finally brought the Turks to the end of this European Championship.

There is always a winner in a football match, but today, instead of choosing the stubborn Turks, the Belgians had the last laugh.

However, to reach the semi-finals, and the process is so thrilling, the Turk's performance at this European Championship has also been magical, repeatedly performing magical last-minute comebacks, allowing them to capture the hearts of countless fans.

Unfortunately, Digan's Belgium rejected Turkey's insistence, but in any case, the Turkish team can leave Switzerland with pride, and perhaps, for a long time from today, people will have a new way of describing perseverance: "Today, are you Turkey?" ”

The tenacity of the Turks has a long history, and since the 11th century, the Turks have been fighting for their freedom and the right to live by force, just as they insist on freedom and faith, and there is no lack of respectable and somewhat endearing virtues in the blood of this people.

There is no doubt that in this European Championship, the performance of the Turks is not great, but at least remarkable, and in one reversal after another, the Turks have shown the world their tenacity, a Turkish madness, a respectable spirit, and a never-say-die attitude.

It is a little regrettable that the limited strength and the remnants of the army made it possible for the Star and Moon Legion to meet the Belgian team with the world's number one star Digan in the semi-finals.

Although the opening goal made Turkey look as close to a miracle as it once was, this time it was a pity that this time Turkey was too far from God and too close to Belgium.

Too much fatigue and injuries have allowed the Turks to collapse when they are just one step away from a miracle, and with such a result, the Turks can leave the Euros.

UEFA also praised Turkey's performance in this tournament after the game: "Reaching the semi-finals in a huge difficult situation is a Turkish success, a reward of perseverance, the Turks have shown people the charm of football, and Turkey's success this time will also be a miracle that cannot be replicated, they have truly made history." ”

Perhaps, there is also a little regret that the Turks are always under pressure in this European Championship and always in a situation where they need to reverse their opponents.

The Turks were in the lead for just a few minutes in the entire European Championships, and there was no doubt that the Turks were a bit disappointing in the first half of the game.

Maybe they can complain about the heavy rain they always have, but it seems that their problems come more from their own manager, with Trim having a certain level of success in Italy and then becoming AC Milan manager.

But in this position, Trim couldn't sit for long.

Cause?

Trim was always able to make the best adjustments at half-time to get his side to win in the second half, but there were always problematic arrangements in the first half that forced AC Milan to finally give up on Trim's insistence.

After more than 10 years, Turkish football has come a long way, but the problem of Trim still seems to have persisted for many years.

In any case, Turkey's performance in this European Championship has been a success, and perhaps next time, they will go further and they will surely bring more surprises to this world of football.

Although the Turks did not perform another miracle, they deserved this game, both in terms of field and statistics, and they won the respect of their opponents and everyone with their tenacity in this game.

After the game, the Turkish players stood on the pitch, some with their heads down, some crying quietly, but the head coach Trim did not hang his head all the time, he strode into the stadium with his head held high, and encouraged his disciples to regain their spirits.

Then Trim walked to the Belgian coach's bench with great grace to congratulate Antienes on the victory, and at this time, the Belgian coaches and Football Association officials who had been hugging each other suddenly stood in a row, collectively applauded Trim, and high-fived the respected iron coach one by one.

Coming to the press conference, Trim still held his head high, he told all the reporters present: "I'm sad, we almost reached the final, but after the lead, we don't know how to play, but one thing we can't forget is that Turkey is a country of football fanatic, 70 million hearts are beating for football, although we didn't get to stand in the final, but I'm sure our fans will be proud of us." ”

'Belgium are a strong opponent and it's too late for me to say anything, if we win there will probably be people asking that question, the result is the result and I think it's fair and everyone can see that we played well, but the Belgians played better.'

The result of the game was fair, but the process of the game was not, people admired the persistence of the Turks, but there is also a problem that cannot be ignored, that is, Turkey was indeed taken care of by the referee during the game.

Journalists were hoping to dig up enough news from Antienes or the Belgian players, but the Belgians let them down.

Speaking at a press conference, Antienes said: "I don't want to judge the referee's job, everyone has their own job, I don't want to comment too much, if you want we can focus our time on this game, Turkey are a good opponent, they played quite tenaciously and for a while we were all at a loss, but fortunately the final result of the game was satisfactory, we won, and after 28 years, Belgium reached the final of the European Championship again. Now I just want to think about the next opponent, Spain, or Russia, whoever the opponent is, we want to be able to go further! ”

Antienes cleverly dodged the question about the referee, and Degan, who was interviewed in the mixed zone, also had the same intention: "Referee? I'm sorry I don't want to mention him now, it's not up to me to judge how he works, I'm sure Mr. Platini should have his own opinion, for today's game, the Turks did a great job, they played very tenacious, yes! I admire them, at least their tenacity is really worth learning from Belgian football! The next opponent? I hope it's Spain! In fact, after that game three years ago, I often heard that they wanted revenge, something like this, I am willing to give them this opportunity, although it is a little unfair to Russia, they also have the right to fight for the honor of the country, but if I were to say, Spain is indeed superior to Russia, this is a fact! ”

Spain vs. Russia, just like Belgium vs. Turkey, who defeated Belgium in the group stage and Russia lost 4-1 to Spain in the group stage.

Now that Belgium has succeeded in revenge, Russia certainly wants to go further, and Russian coach Guus Hiddink is already sketching out the tactical arrangements against the Spaniards in his mind after watching the match between Belgium and Turkey.

Although Russia has also made a deep impression on people in this European Cup, when it comes to strength, as Digan said, Russia is too far behind Spain.

Now the only thing Russia can count on is probably Hiddink's magic, but no matter how miraculous Hiddink is, he has never led a national team to the final of an international competition.

The best results are probably South Korea in 2002, and now Russia, what happened to South Korea at the beginning, everyone knows it, the Koreans will be shameless to the extreme, and at the same time Hiddink showed a little bit of magic, Russia is real, but in the face of Spain, Hiddink's magic, I'm afraid it will also pass the expiration date.
