Chapter 337: European Cup Final
Zidane or Miku? That's a problem.
To be honest, if it weren't for the existence of the limiting factor of financial balance within Juventus, Moggi really wanted to take out the checkbook and sign all these two players to Juventus, so that these two players could PK in the team, and the winner would be the main force, and the loser would be the substitute.
However, this is obviously just a dream of beauty, after all, Juventus will not agree to pay the same high transfer fee for two players with overlapping positions, and spending a lot of money is not in line with the current Bianconeri business strategy.
Moggie is not like Zhuang Mingge, he is not cross-traveled, so of course Moggie does not know the gap between Zidane and Miku in terms of future level and achievement, judging from the video, the performance of the two is almost the same, Zidane does not have the domineering after winning the Shijie Cup now, so Moji will be so difficult now.
While Moggi was pondering over his choice for the midfielder, the last four of the European Championship in England had already been decided, with the Netherlands, Croatia, Spain and Portugal falling out of the semi-finals.
So far, only Djokaef is left among the Fiorentina players who are still participating in this European Cup.
Davis is still so unlucky, he is an honest man in the club, but the "wild boar" who arrived at the national team was directly kicked out of the national team by the coach who knew his fate because of his disrespectful remarks to coach Hiddink.
France VS Czech Republic
England vs Germany
That's it for the semi-finals of the European Championship.
At Old Trafford on June 26, the Gallic Roosters, who had sent the Dutch home home on penalties, also fell 12 yards, and Reynald Pedros, France's sixth penalty-taker, missed a penalty and had to watch the Czechs, who were playing in the European Championship for the first time, reach the final in Zuihou (not counting the Czechoslovak period).
On the same day, the Anglo-German battle Zuihou also decided the winner with penalty kicks, and the English could be said to be full of enthusiasm in the face of the German tank, but as the hosts, they Zuihou still fell on the penalty spot. England made five of six penalties and played well, but unfortunately they ran into the more perverted Germans, who hit all six penalties to put an abrupt end to the hosts' dream of winning the European Championship.
The Germans also have to face an awkward situation after this big game, which is that they now have only 14 players left in their squad to play in the final in Zuihou, and three of them are goalkeepers......
To say that the German team is also unlucky enough in this cup competition, before the group stage began, the main striker Basler retired due to injury, Jurgen Kohler left the field with an injury just 13 minutes into the first game of the group stage, and also announced his withdrawal from the European Championship after the game.
After the Germans managed to make it out of the group stage, the quarter-final against Croatia was another game full of red and yellow cards, and the game was extremely intense, with the Zuihou Germans paying the heavy price of three yellow cards and five injuries to qualify for the semi-finals.
After the semi-final against England, Germany's big man Froude was injured and could not participate in the following final, while Andres Müller and Reuter received a yellow card in the semi-final, resulting in a total of two yellow cards and missing the final of Zuihou.
Although the versatile man on the left, Marco Bodø and the youngster Rene Schneider (a defender for Rostock, not the familiar midfielder Schneider) returned, God knows what the condition of the injured duo was in the final, so Germany coach Vogtz had to put the two on the bench to fill up.
In response to Germany's special situation of not even having an eighteen-man squad, UEFA specially opened up the net for the Germans this time, allowing them to temporarily recruit three players from China as substitutes. However, the Germans rejected UEFA's offer, or rather, the strong-minded Germans disdained to use such means to win the eventual victory.
So, on the day of the European Cup final, all the fans who watched the game saw a shocking scene, the German team really only filled in the names of sixteen players on the squad (two of them have some minor injuries), and the only reliable non-goalkeeper players on the bench were Bierhoff from Udinese in Serie A, and even the two substitute goalkeepers of the German team, Kahn and Lake, wore special jerseys in this game and were ready to substitute as non-goalkeeper players.
Although Germany won the Czech Republic 2-0 in the first game of the group stage, the vast majority of the media before the game expressed optimism about the Czech Republic for this European Championship final, after all, compared with Germany, which is full of wounds and unknown status, the Czech Republic, which has a full lineup and defeated strong opponents (Italy, Portugal, France), is obviously more likely to win Zuihou.
Even the German media were not optimistic about their team, but they could not support the Czech Republic due to their stance, so they had to be cautious and say that if the German players could play 120% in the final, maybe Zuihou would win
What is the difference between saying this and recognizing that the Czech Republic has won the championship......
At the same time, Zhuang Mingge, Karin, Rebecca and others also watched the final in their villa in Florence.
"The Czech Republic was so lucky to win the European Championship for the first time." Rebecca said with some jealousy.
It's no wonder who allowed Italy, a traditional football powerhouse, to win the European Championship only once so far (1968)? What's more, the Czech Republic is still the main culprit for Italy's early exit, so it is understandable that Rebecca would make such a statement.
"Hehe, Rebecca, don't say everything so absolutely, football is round, no one can guarantee the result of zuihou until the moment of zuihou, otherwise the bookmaker will not be doing business related to football for a long time." Zhuang Mingge looked at the Czech players who had already played with some emotion, the Czech team broke out with the most dazzling colors in this Cup, and then fell into a long silence, only Nedved Zuihou became a superstar among the eleven starters, and the others, including Poboski, who was the most popular at this time, did not reach the height they should have for various reasons.
This is the cruelty of professional football, every year a group of extremely talented players emerge, but in the end there are very few who can become talents, there are many influencing factors, changes in the growth environment, the player's own personality, injury troubles, etc., will affect a player's future development trajectory.
Do you want to save a few of them?
Just when Zhuang Mingge was thinking nonsense, the European Cup final had been announced at the referee's whistle!
Once the game began, the Czechs quickly took the initiative on the field, with Poboski and Nedved constantly attacking from both flanks, draining the remaining energy of the German players, and their strategy worked as well as it should.
In the 59th minute, Poboski, who shone at this European Championship, burst into the penalty area, Summerer accidentally brought down the Czech No. 8, and the referee punished the German team for making a big mistake, Patrick Borg hit the penalty, and the Czech Republic took a 1-0 lead.
So far, everything is as predicted by the media and experts, and the balance of victory is constantly tilting in favor of the young Czechs.
Vogts, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to replace Zuihou with a fairly reliable card in his hand, and he replaced Sauer, who was already exhausted, with Bierhoff.
Except for Zhuang Mingge, no one could have imagined that it was Vogts's substitution that changed the trend of the whole game......
