The game is over, and Brückner, who has always been very calm before, is now like an ordinary old man, unable to hide the loss in his heart, his team once had a chance, but they missed it again.

Brückner regretted that after the Belgians equalised, they should have attacked, using the attack to contain the Belgians' attack, but he hesitated, and it was because of the hesitation that his team lost hope of holding on to a point.

With a long sigh, Brückner was about to turn around and go to the Belgian dugout to congratulate his young colleague Antienes, only to see that Antienes had already walked in front of him.

Brückner squeezed out a smile: "Very good game, congratulations!" Coach Antienes! ”

Antienes didn't know what to say, so she smiled, shook hands with the old handsome, said "thank you", and left.

Brückner walked to the sidelines to greet the lost disciples, he has been coaching the Czech team for some years, and in 2002, the Czech national team missed the World Cup finals in South Korea and Japan, and the Czech Football Federation dismissed Kovanec and appointed Brückner to take over the national team. Under the tutelage of the veteran coach, the team with many excellent players but lack of cohesion quickly became a strong and highly entertaining team, and the Czech team returned to the ranks of the strongest teams in Europe.

Prior to becoming head coach of the national team, Brückner was also the head coach of the Czech youth team, and he took a closer look at the players he now has at his disposal when they were young.

The experienced veteran has managed to integrate young and veteran players into a team in just a few short years, and he has built the Czech Republic into a team with a high level of tactical literacy and spirituality, and he himself is loved by the players and fans alike.

Brückner's national team's greatest glory came at Euro 2004, when the Czech Republic put in an impressive performance, but the favourites lost to eventual hosts Greece in the semi-finals.

In addition to leading the team to impressive results, Brückner also attaches great importance to harmony and unity within the team, treating players equally, and he once said: "The national team should be a happy family, and I have no illegitimate children here." ”

Key player Nedved said of his relationship with Brückner: "He's like my father and I'm going to obey him completely. ”

Brückner's success lies not only in his ability to reconcile people, but also in his scheming, as a realist, a master tactician and a strategist.

He is adept at adapting tactics to different opponents, as exemplified by the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, who scored 35 goals in 12 games and qualified for the final of the World Cup for the first time, despite finishing second in their group and being forced to play in two play-offs.

Although the Czech Republic failed to qualify from the final group at the World Cup in Germany, people remember more of Nedved's helpless tears, but the old coach has done everything he can.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, Brückner said: "I hope we can go further than we did four years ago, when we reached the semi-finals, so our goal this year is to reach the final and lift the trophy, but the first goal is to make sure we qualify from the group." ”

After returning home from the World Cup in Germany, the high-minded Bohemians had only one goal: to prove themselves at the European Championships, and this was Brückner's last international major trip with the Czech Republic, just before the tournament began, after Brückner turned down a two-year contract from the Czech Football Federation.

But when they arrived in Austria and Switzerland, they found that the Czechs were in danger of going out of the group, and the Czechs were no longer the blood-boiling team of the past, while the outgoing Brückner was in a dilemma, whether to continue to rely on champion-level veterans or to boldly recruit newcomers?

In the end, the old man chose to take charge of the future of Czech football, and at the same time, Brückner also made a change of style for the team, and the attacking team of the past has now become practical.

His pale hair and hoarse voice when he shouted were the first impressions of Brückner, who, despite his usual extreme harshness, was respected by the players, who said on more than one occasion that they could not imagine what would happen without Brückner.

In the Czech family, Brückner was a stern coach on the pitch and a father off the pitch. But after Brückner's departure, what manager can win such heartfelt love from the Czech players?

At 69 years old, Brückner is the oldest coach of the tournament and even if he is too old to move, he is still a fighter.

The 69-year-old white hair, each with a story, that white hair makes him look like a generation of Daoist masters, but now it looks like a depression, maybe he also knows that after losing this game, his fate with the Czech team is likely to end here.

Jan Kohler walked to the sidelines, he didn't even dare to look into Brückner's eyes, his face was full of guilt, and he respected this old coach 100%, and even called the old man "daddy" in private.

"Daddy! I'm sorry! ”

Brückner's voice was a little hoarse, and he patted Yankohler on the arm: "No! You've done a great job, and I'm so proud of you! ”

Jankoller's nose soured when he heard this, and he felt very guilty that he scored a goal but failed to bring the team victory.

Jankoler was followed by Rosicky, a player that Brückner relied on very much, and Rosicky did well enough in this game, although he didn't score, but after that tackle, a quick counterattack, he was the starting point.

"Coach! I'm so sorry! ”

With the same words as Jankoller, Brückner smiled and gave him a hug: "Don't worry, we still have a chance, there is still a game, we will have a good result!" ”

In this case, perhaps Brückner himself does not believe it, although the outside world generally believes that the strength of the Czech team is above Turkey, but, in fact, Turkey's strong performance in the first two games of this cup has proved that they have the strength to change their lives.

However, Brückner must give his players the confidence to make this relationship a little longer.

Brückner looks like a father at the moment, every Czech player is his son, all he has to do is get the kids to lift their heads and move on.
