The group easily qualified, and the first knockout opponent Belgium met next was the second place Switzerland in Group A, which is basically a send-off, the Swiss team has played very well in the last few World Series, but only in the group stage, just like this time, they won two and drew one in the group stage, and only because of goal difference, they were in second place.

But every time, after the Swiss team enters the knockout round, there will be an inexplicable low point in form, two years ago in the first round of the knockout round of the Qatar World Cup, they actually lost to Honduras, and lost to the opponent a 0:3, absolutely intimate little nurse.

This time, they bumped into Belgium in the first round of the knockout round, which was basically more than lucky, although the Swiss team was not convinced, saying that they would fight until the last minute, but the question is, in the history of mankind, have you TM fought?

Every time people are in full swing, you hide on the side, pretend to be a permanent neutral country, you haven't even touched the barrel of a gun for hundreds of years, and you still fight an egg!

The media elites from all walks of life launched a mockery trick, so that the little momentum that the Swiss team had managed to accumulate glided in an instant.

The Belgians did not disappoint their supporters from the start of the game, establishing an early lead when Digan received a wide pass in the box in the 10th minute and smashed a header into the Swiss goal.

After conceding the first goal, the Swiss team still wanted to struggle, although the overall strength was not strong, but the Swiss team tactics were still very distinctive, and the two counterattacks formed shots, but unfortunately failed to score.

After withstanding the Swiss team's three-board axe, Belgium scored a long shot from outside the penalty area in the 27th minute of the game, expanding the score to 2:0!

In terms of strength, he properly crushed the opponent, and at this moment he had two goals in hand, and the suspense of the game was almost over, but the Swiss team was not willing to be tied up like this, after all, the game had only started for less than half an hour, and if he raised his hand to surrender at this time, it would be too faceless.

But when Digan drove straight into the Swiss penalty area before the end of the first half, and singled out the goalkeeper, the Swiss team gave up completely.

"Hat-trick, Deegan completed another hat-trick, the Swiss team has no chance at all, if it is only two goals behind, they can still take advantage of the half-time break, think of a way, but now, three goals behind, so far, no team has been able to move the score back when playing against the team led by Degan, when they are three goals behind!"

After the break, the Swiss team is obviously about to give up, generally speaking, if at this time, if there are still ideas, how to press the attack, but the Swiss team is still a defensive counterattack, obviously no longer have any thoughts about this game.

The Swiss team chose to give up, and the Belgian team did not beat the water dogs, after all, it is not easy for anyone, they are all mixed on the road, can they not give some face?

In the 65th minute of the second half, Deegan was substituted, and in the recent period of continuous play, his fitness has also been in trouble, and he will face the host country France next, at this time, it is better to give Degan a sufficient rest.

After Digan left the field, the Swiss team still had no ideas, the two sides played a peace ball, and the Swiss fans left the stadium en masse after Digan left the field.

In the end, the match was settled at 4-0, and the Belgian team easily advanced, and in the semi-finals, they will face the host France, and the other semi-final will be against Italy and Spain.

Since Zidane's retirement, so many years have passed, but there is still no trend of rising, it is always tepid, and every time the World Series is mixed, but none of them have been able to achieve satisfactory results, in short, the strength is basically stuck between the first-class and the second-rate.

The current captain of the French team is Raphael Varane, who plays for Real Madrid, and this is probably his last international appearance for his country.

In other positions, there are no players who are too outstanding, especially on the offensive line, thinking that at the beginning, in the heyday of the French team, the team included the top scorers in the three major leagues of Ligue 1, Serie A, and the Premier League, but now, the French team can't find a stable output point, which has to be said to be the sadness of French football.

Although it is the host, it is definitely unlucky to face Belgium, the European Red Devils who have been in hot form since the start of this European Cup.

However, French fans should also be satisfied with reaching the semi-finals, after all, this is the best result of the French team in recent European Championships.

At the beginning of the game, the French team put on a posture of an iron bucket as soon as they came up, making it clear that they wanted to drag the penalty shootout, and this unpromising style also attracted a burst of boos from the fans on the spot, what they wanted to see was not the team advancing to the final in this way, and the defense could really hold it?

I have to say that in the first half of the game, the French team's defense did a really good job, so that Digan didn't get a few chances, every time, as long as Digan got the ball, he would immediately be surrounded by a swarm of French players, and when defending Digan, almost all kinds of means, endlessly, everything.

If the European Cup is held in another country, at the end of the first half, at least two of the French team will be sent off with red cards, but as the host, the referee will naturally have to take care of it, but even so, at the end of the first half, the French team players also had four yellow cards, and they were all for fouls on Degan.

At the end of the first half, when the referee was leaving, Antienes couldn't help but walk over and protest loudly, what can the referee say about this, home advantage is a very mysterious thing.

But if the home advantage is really endless, the referee will not be able to watch, in the 63rd minute of the second half, the defenders of the French team once again put down the ball from behind to break through Degan, this time, the referee did not relent, directly a red card on the face of the perpetrator.

The French fans at the scene immediately booed, their own team was playing ugly, but no matter how they didn't want to see it, it was also their own child, where would it be someone else's turn to discipline them.

And the football game is for the final victory, now it's good, the strength is not good, and now there is one less person on the field, how can this game be played!

How the French were dissatisfied, no one paid attention, and after Deegan got up, he kicked a free kick, which suddenly made the French goal leak a hole.

There was one less person on the field, which was enough to embarrass the French team, but the purpose of the foul was not achieved, and a goal was scored by Degan, which was even more difficult.

With the score ahead, Belgium's next game will be much easier, don't the French like to defend? Then let them show it well, I'll fall in midfield and see if you can come out.

The French have no choice but to die so slowly!

Offensive!

But when it comes to attacking, it's really not what the current French team is good at, if it weren't for the game with Serbia, which inexplicably played a big score of 5:0, they could crash into Belgium's arms in the first round of knockout matches and accept the comfort of love.

The game with England, or with a penalty, won 1:0, and the game with Switzerland, it was a 0:0, the first round of knockouts, facing Germany, the two sides were through the guò penalty shootout to separate the winner, and now in the face of Belgium, which is obviously stronger than the previous opponents, they are completely out of line, can only play on the side of guò, let the strikers fight for the top, or simply through the individual play of several players in the midfield to threaten the Belgian goal.

The midfielder of the French team, speaking of which, is still very creative, but the midfielder can't save his life!

Belgium scored another goal in the 78th minute of the second half, this time by Romelu Lukaku, who received a cross from Digan in the box and fired home into the empty net.

France pulled a goal back in the 88th minute with a controversial penalty opportunity, but it was to no avail, and Belgium defeated hosts France 2-1 to advance to the final.

In the other semi-final, Italy and Spain battled for 90 minutes to a 2:2 draw. Maldini assists to the edge of the box and receives the help of his younger brother Daniel. Maldini's pass, lobbed into the far corner.

With this goal, Italy defeated Spain 3-2 and qualified for the final, where they will become the third team after France and Belgium to win back-to-back World Cups and European Championships if they can beat Belgium in the final.

In the final against Italy, the Euro 2012 final opponents met again, and this is the third time that Italy and Belgium have met in the final of a world competition.

Italy and Belgium have won each of the previous two meetings, with Italy winning the 2006 World Cup and Belgium winning Euro 2012.

The two teams have also met several times in the years since Digan withdrew from the national team, the most recent of which was the 2022 Qatar World Cup, when the two teams met in the semifinals, Belgium without Digan was finally defeated by Italy and missed the final.

In terms of strength, the two teams can be regarded as equal, if you don't count Digan, the Italian team obviously has the upper hand, but Belgium has Digan because of the overall hard power, and it has also pulled back a city.

After the development of Italian football over the years, there has also been significant progress, especially in the past few years, German football has been in the world football arena for a great time, which has also given a lot of stimulation to conservative Italian football, and they have also achieved remarkable results after reform.

At present, most of the Italian national team are young players, and the oldest is Desiglio, Decan's teammate when he was in Fiorentina.

After the start of the game, both sides were not conservative, as soon as they came up, they really fought together, and the current Italian team has obviously changed a lot compared with the beginning, although the defense is still solid, but their offensive ability, method, is obviously much stronger than before, and the attitude is much more positive.

In the twenty-eighth minute of the game, after the Italian team broke the ball at the back, it played a counterattack, if it was before, it must have been a big foot to the front, so that the two wing players to fight with each other for speed, but now Italian football is obviously much more delicate.

The football went through repeated passes to Daniel. At Maldini's feet, after winning the ball, he made a gesture to break through, and after fooling the Belgian defenders, he suddenly passed the ball to the right flank, where his brother Christian. Maldini is already running.

Just now the Belgian formation was pressed a little forward, if the ball was Cristian. Maldini received a message from which he needed only a cross to find a shot for the Italian striker.

Right here in Christian. Maldini was about to receive the ball when Digan burst over, stopped the ball in the middle of the game, then turned and dribbled down the flank towards the Italian half.

This scene even shocked the commentators in the commentary box, Digan was still in the front court just now, but in a blink of an eye, he returned to the defense and cut off the pass of the Italian team.

At this speed, who can say that he is an old guy!

Degan's speed is fast, the frequency of his feet is also dazzling, and those wonderful passing movements make people can't help but be amazed.

"Degan's speed is just too fast, Christian. Although Maldini tried his best to chase back, the distance between him and Degan was still getting farther and farther, and the rest of the Italian team had no way to stop Degan from moving forward, chance! Chance for Belgium, Degan has dribbled into the penalty area and tackles! Deegan picked the ball and dodged it, beautiful! Now he's facing the goalkeeper directly! Shot! ”

Degan shot at goal, although the goalkeeper of the Italian team reacted very quickly, his body was downward, and he wanted to block Digan's shot with his legs, but the power of Digan's shot was too great.

The ball went straight between the legs of the Italian goalkeeper!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！”

After the goal, Deegan spread his arms and rushed to the sidelines, where Park Ji-yeon and the children were hugging tightly and cheering for Degan's goal.
