"The players on both sides were already standing in their respective halves, waiting for the referee's whistle. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides. The lineup on the Czech side is the lineup of the 02shijie cup champions, and there are hardly any changes. The goalkeeper is Peter, who has just moved to Chelsea. Petr Cech, Jankulovski, Ujfarusi, Rozenar and Grigra in the backline, Nedved, Rosicky, Gilberto in the midfield. Silva, Senna, Poboski, and Jankoller up front. ”

"Looking at the starting line-up of the Greek team, the Greek national team of this European Championship is based on the members who won the runner-up in the UEFA Youth Championship in '98 (0:1 Spain in the final), and it is the golden generation of Greek football. Goalkeeper is Niko. Polydis, the backline is Cetaritis, Dras, Kapsis, Fisas, the midfielders are Zagoraschi, Basinas, Karagunis, Yannakpoulos, Charlisteas, and the forward line is Frizas. ”

"Doodoo-"

"The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game. The tournament officially began, and it was the semi-finals of the European Championship at the Fire Dragon Stadium. The winning team will advance to the final of the European Championship and meet the host country, the Portuguese national team, who have already reached the final."

Semi-finals, which is a point of reaching the finals of zuihou. The other semi-final was over yesterday, with hosts Portugal beating the uncrowned Netherlands 2-1 to advance to the final. Brückner and Rehhagel were both on the sidelines and couldn't do it. The two of them have their own strengths, and neither is better than the other in terms of fame.

Brückner is the head coach who has won the Shijie Cup, but his results at club level are hard to beat. Although he is well-known in the Czech Republic. However, he has never proven himself in other clubs in European football, so he has never been able to enter the ranks of the top coaches in European football. Although the Shijie Cup and European Cup are top honors for players, the coaching industry is not as good as those who have won the Champions League at club. It is now a general trend that the status of club coaches is higher than that of national team coaches.

Rehhagel, on the other hand, did not have as many achievements as Brückner in the national team, but he also achieved the Kaiserslautern miracle at club level and created an era of his own in Bremen. Rehhagel is a veritable top coach in German football.

"Poboski, Poboski waded past Fisas and crossed...... Dellas pushes the ball out! ”

"Rosicky, pass...... Kapsis spoils the ball. ”

"Rosicky, cross Senna. Shot...... Hit the defending Zagorakis. ”

Dark horse. All dark horses have the same characteristics. They defended very well, like the dark horses that performed well in the '04 Champions League, and basically no club was poor defensively. A team with a poor defense is hardly a dark horse. The same is true for Greece, which was able to eliminate Spain and France in succession because of his strong defensive ability.

The Greek defense you have to admire. Greece's two centre-backs are Dlas and Kaposis. Among them, Dellas is a high school defender with a height of more than 1.9 meters. High balls are his strength. Kapsis, on the other hand, is a very flexible centre-back. The ability to interfere and fill in is very strong. The duo worked together perfectly, with Jankoler defending Jankoler as a defensive high and Kapsis as a fill-in.

"Twenty minutes into the game, the Czech Republic had the overall advantage. The Czech Republic had 64 per cent possession. There were also six shots on goal. Unfortunately, none of the six shots on goal could threaten the Greek goal. Apart from the on-field advantage, the Czechs didn't get much of a real chance. ”

The Czech Republic is currently in strong control in midfield. Don't say that compared with Greece, even compared with Shijie's top teams, it is not inferior. Taken by Gilberto. The three-man midfielder of Silva, Senna and Rosicky was excellent at controlling the midfield. After the start of the game, Greece retreated in the midfield, giving up a large part of the midfield to the Czech Republic.

Unfortunately, as the commentator said, no matter how powerful the midfield control is, it is useless. Because the Czechs couldn't create a good chance, Greece's defense was just too good.

"This Rehhagel really has a set."

Rist shook his head, no wonder Greece was able to win the European Championship in history. Look at the current defense, it is really leaky. Especially defending Jankoller, Greece did too well. Delas and then Kapsis cooperated tacitly, and Jankoller could not play with his header, let alone the ball at his feet.

Jankoler is definitely a very important weapon in the Czech Republic, and it is a gun carriage in the front. It's a pity that Rehhagel studied it thoroughly, and it actually left Jankohler with nothing to do in the front court.

There is also the wing, because Greece recycles the defense, so there is no gap in the front of the penalty area. Nedved, Rosicky, Senna and others were unable to play their powerful long-range shooting ability.

"Yes."

Carvajal also nodded. In terms of the strength of both sides, Greece cannot catch up with the Czech Republic. The current Czech Republic is at its peak, and veterans such as Nedved, Poboski, and Jankole are getting stronger. Silva, Senna, Ujfarusi and Jankulovski are all in their prime, while young players such as Rosicky, Rozenard, Grigra and Cech have all experienced big storms.

If it weren't so strong, the Czech Republic would not have won back-to-back games against Germany and the Netherlands in the group stage. However, in the face of a weak opponent like Greece, it has always been impossible to turn the advantage into a goal.

"Nedved, Setaridis has been following Nedved. Nedved couldn't get rid of Setaridis and Setaridis tackled, which was very precise. ”

"Rosicky, Rosicky can't turn around...... Zagorakis has been following Rosicky. ”

Rehhagel was so familiar with the Czechs that several attacks were defused by the Greeks. None of these players in Greece are well-known, but they are really good players.

Like their right-back Cetaridis, who was only 23 years old and was unknown before this European Championship. However, he has become the brightest right-back in this European Cup. Defending Figo, Cristiano. Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Pire, Vicente, Reyes, including defending Nedved in this game, were all very good. It can be said that with these European Cup games. He is already worth tens of millions of euros.

And then there's Zagorakis, who's 33 years old and who's really not a in European football. He had traveled to England, but had returned to Greece three years later. But it's such a veteran who has rejuvenated himself at the Euros and is getting better and better in the midfield position.

"The first half was over, and the Czechs never found a way to break down the Greek defence. Greece's defensive system is excellent, and Coach Rehhagel is all too familiar with the Czech Republic. How Brückner will adjust. ”

…………

"Sandro, how can you pay attention to this semi-final."

At halftime, Rist was ready to relax with Carvajal over a cup of coffee. Unexpectedly, I received a call from Russell, and it turned out that Russell was also watching the game on the spot. Call Rist to meet him.

Russell is quite familiar with Rist and Carvajal. Carvajal is Real Madrid's royal agent. But the relationship with Barcelona is not bad. For example, Valdés is a player of Carvajal and has now become Barcelona's main goalkeeper.

"Me? I actually came to look for you, but I didn't want to disturb you watching the game, so I didn't look for you at halftime. ”

"Looking for me? Something. ”

There isn't much going on in Rist and Barcelona this summer. The biggest thing is the transfer of Villa. However, the transfer was already negotiated with Barcelona two months ago.

Of course, there are some complications with Villa's transfer. The transfer is done. But there are many other issues that need to be addressed. The biggest problem is the sponsorship, and Villa's previous sponsor was Homa. Homa is a local sports brand in Spain and has a lot of influence in Spanish football. A Coruña sponsor since 01. So it also became a sponsor of Villa.

But with Villa's transfer to Barcelona, Nike's side couldn't help it. After all, Villa was the best Spanish striker last season, and even one of the best strikers in European football. Therefore, Nike wants Villa to switch to Nike and give up Homma's sponsorship. Even Homa's contract, Nike, is willing to help with it.

So Rist has dealt with this matter before. It's not quite over yet, but Rist and Nike already have a preliminary cooperation. Villa and Homa have three years on their contracts and now have a little more than a year left. Nike was willing to help buy the contract, and then signed a new sponsorship contract with Villa, and the sponsorship fee also changed from 1 Chinese New Year's Eve 00,000 euros in Homa to 1.4 million euros a year for Nike.

Other than that, there is nothing else going on with Rist and Barca. Jankulovski is also not to the point of improving his contract, and Barcelona do not need Rist's reinforcements this summer.

"Yaya of Eindhoven. Toure is your player. ”

"Yes."

"Lister, what do you think of getting him to Barcelona?"

Rist was stunned for a moment. Lister clearly remembers that historically Barcelona was interested in Van Bommel of PSV Eindhoven, how it has now become Yaya. Toure.

But it was soon relieved. What Barcelona are lacking now is a midfielder, Van Bommel said it is a midfielder but more of a central midfielder. Because of Yaya. Toure is a full-time midfielder, and Van Bommel has always been forward in Eindhoven's position. Davies was unable to move to Barca, so Barcelona are missing a midfielder.

PSV Eindhoven have been doing well this season, so Barcelona have their eye on Yaya, who has a good defense in the midfield position. Toure. Yaya. Toure is only 21 years old at the moment, which is more in line with Barca's appetite. That's why Russell found Lister.

"Sandro, you make me think about it."

Rist turned out to be reluctant to let Yaya. It would not be bad for Toure to leave PSV Eindhoven too early and be taught by Hiddink for another year or two. At that time, he was only twenty-two or three years old, which was not very old at all. But now that Barcelona are interested in him, Rister has to think about it.

What kind of midfielders does Barcelona have now, there are Keita, and Marquis has a cameo. And Deco, who just transferred this season, can also play in the back. However, the characteristics of these people are the same as Yaya. Toure is different, and Keita is not as good as Yaya. Toure. Yaya. Toure arrived at Barcelona to learn their jishu, their coordination, their passing.

But Rist was worried about Yaya. Toure's age. Twenty-one years old, not very old. But after thinking about it, Rist nodded slowly. How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, and the flowers in the greenhouse cannot experience the wind and rain outside. Yaya. Toure started his career in Belgium and moved to PSV Eindhoven, not only in the Belgian League, in the Eredivisie, but also in the Champions League. Experience is actually enough. Rist couldn't always treat him like a child. Yaya. If Toure wants to become the top midfielder in Europe, he still needs to break through on his own.

"Okay, Sandro. The question of Yaya can be discussed. ”

"That's great."

'Sandro, I'll always watch the game in Portugal. You can talk to PSV Eindhoven in the meantime and I'll go to Barcelona after the final. Let's talk more about his contract. ”

"Okay. I'm waiting for you in Barcelona. (To be continued......)
