The day after Italy qualified, the other two quarter-finals of the European Championship came to an end.

The first match was between the Netherlands and Yugoslavia, but judging by the scene and the final result, the quarter-final was more of a one-sided slaughter by the Orange than a strong confrontation between the two teams.

Six to one! In the face of Yugoslavia's aging backline, the energetic hosts showed their powerful impact to the fullest in this game, and the flood of offense directly broke down the Yugoslav defense completely!

On the Dutch side, the main center forward Kluivert scored a hat-trick in the game, raising his goal tally in this European Championship to five in one go, and he is neck and neck with Inzaghi; Wide fast Mar Ovemas also scored a brace, and his super breakthrough ability on the wing amazed the fans, and even made countless giants who lacked wide attackers salivate.

On the other hand, the Yugoslav side was much worse, the Dutch's successive goals after the opening game completely stunned them before the game, the starting defender Govedica was busy with a mistake, and he scored an own goal in the 51st minute of the game, which helped the hosts further widen the score gap between the two teams, and also made the already low morale of Yugoslavia even more sluggish!

It wasn't until the game entered injury time, and the Dutch, who had already achieved a huge 6-0 advantage, deliberately lowered the water, that Yugoslavia scored a face-saving goal by Milosevic, and finally found a good fig leaf for their heavy defeat. And with this goal, Milosevic was able to tie for the top scorer list with Kluivert and Inzaghi when he said goodbye to the European Championship with Yugoslavia!

Although Yugoslavia was slaughtered by the Netherlands in the quarter-finals, the ability of its leading goalscorer, Slobodan Milosevic, was recognized by most professionals and fans. It is conceivable that with Milosevic's brilliant record of scoring five goals in four games at this European Championship, the Zaragoza top scorer is not destined to stay at the unambitious La Liga club, and a team or club with higher aspirations will be the next stop of his career.

By the way, after the news of the six-to-one victory over Yugoslavia, the Netherlands, which had the largest score difference in this European Cup, surpassed Italy, which was originally ranked first, overnight in the odds of winning the championship, and became the biggest favorite to win the championship!

After all, in the eyes of most people, in the face of the Netherlands, which has the advantage of home field and is strong, even Italy's world-famous reinforced concrete defense line will be difficult to withstand the fierce attack of the orange team! After all, in the game, the attacking side often has more initiative than the defending side, and the Netherlands, which occupies the geographical advantage, is not below Italy in terms of overall strength, and even wins in some aspects!

Therefore, there are naturally far more fans who fancy the Netherlands to win the Delaunay Cup on home soil than those who think Italy will become the second team to win the World Cup and the European Championship in a row. (Note: The first team to do so was the former West German national team, which won the European Championship in 1972 and the World Cup in 1974.) ）

The Italian players did not respond immediately to these perceptions of the outside world, but worked harder under the constraints of the old Maldini, ready to correct people's misconceptions with practical actions!

You must know that Italy's opponent in the semi-finals is the Dutch team, which has the highest call to win the championship at present!

In the other quarter-final match between Spain and France later in the game, it seems that they finally found their own tactical style of play in the final group game against Yugoslavia, and in the face of the pressing defense of the French team, the Spanish players still maintained a good attacking flow and created a lot of scoring opportunities in the game.

However, as Zhuang Mingge said before, the main theme of this European Cup is still the stars of each team. And in this game, it was precisely the midfield star Zidane of the French team who decided the trend of the game!

In the 31st minute of the game, Aranzabal brought down Djokaeff in defense, Corina awarded a free kick to the French team, and Zidane, who was in charge of the penalty, kicked the ball directly into the goal behind Canizares to open the scoring for the French team!

Although under the influence of Camacho, Spain, whose mental attributes have been greatly improved, equalized six minutes later with a penalty kick created by Guò Munitis, but near the end of the first half, the French team opened a breakthrough in the middle of Spain's heavy guard: Vieira drove the ball in the middle, and when Guardiola and Elgra finally returned to the defense, Vieira had already distributed the ball to Djokaef who was inserted on the right side, and the latter volleyed, the ball flew directly into the net from the near corner of the goal, 2-1!

Although Spain tried to launch a counter-attack in the ensuing period, Camacho's move to replace Mendieta, and France's tight defence, made the Spaniard's move futile. Without Mendieta's response and support, Guardiola struggled to pass the ball to the feet of the three strikers who stayed in front, and the introduction of Gerard and Echeberia could not replace Mendieta's role!

In the face of such an extremely unfavorable situation, it was difficult for Spain to even make a decent attack, let alone a goal without a shadow.

It wasn't until the 89th minute of the game that God favored him to give the Spanish players who still hadn't given up the game another chance. Echeberia's aimless pass drifted strangely into the French penalty area, and the ball was rubbed by Urses' header to Abelardo, but Barthez made a mistake at this time, and he was unable to block Ursey's pass when he chose to attack!

In desperation, Barthez, who was trying to make amends, stretched out his arm and pulled Abelardo, who was about to shoot to protect the ball, and the latter fell to the ground!

Corina, who rushed to the scene of the crime, did not hesitate at all, and pointed directly to the twelve yards, penalty!

It was only then that Barthez realized what kind of mistake he had just made......

However, when Raul, who was in charge of taking the penalty, flew up and kicked Abelador's penalty kick into the sky under the expectant gaze of nearly 10,000 Spanish fans at the scene, Barthez, who had been worried in his heart, couldn't wait to rush over and kiss each other! And at the same time, all Spanish supporters realized that the matadors had lost their last chance to equalize!

In the end, the French team, which had the advantage in the whole game, defeated Spain 2-1 and got the last ticket to the semifinals!
