Croatia had no surprises and easily won the first round of the group stage of the European Championship.

The match is also fermenting in Croatia.

The game was broadcast on a rolling basis almost all day.

Although many fans have watched the live broadcast, they still can't help but brush it twice and three times.

Looking at the smooth coordination, active playing style and aggressive attacking state, the fans are extremely excited.

They are also looking forward to this European Championship.

Croatia has no targets for this European Championship.

Bilic's external statement is to try to get into the knockout round and ensure his form.

To put it bluntly, it means military training.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with that, after all, these are newcomers to the European Championship.

But looking at the performance of this game, Croatian fans can't help but look forward to more.

Even media reporters are repeatedly probing, hoping that Bilic will aim a little higher.

"No! I'm not going to make any promises. Bilic sternly refused; We just won the first game, and what is needed at this time is stability, not arrogant posture, Davao, you should understand! ”

Davao. Suker smiled wryly; 'I understand, but it's not the same as it used to be, you see, how well these guys play, we can build momentum at home and improve the enthusiasm further.'

"Do you want to see them crushed by pressure? The goal is the knockout round, and I'm not going to give in. Bilic said solemnly.

Davao. Su Ke was silent for a moment: "That's it, the semifinals are always okay, right?" ”

Bilic doesn't have a good airway; "You think I don't know what you're thinking? Qualifying for the group stage of the European Championship is the quarterfinals, and then the semi-finals. ”

"You don't even have the courage to do that?"

"Nope! You always say that I am cowardly, so let me be cowardly! ”

"You fuck."

"If you scold again, Lao Tzu will also scold you, after entering the Football Association, your head is full of dictatorship, I know you want to take advantage of this wave of heat to climb up, but you can't sacrifice these players as a base point."

"Who said they were sacrificed? Reaching the semi-finals, their fame will also increase, and I am in a win-win situation! ”

"What if you don't get in?" Bilic snorted lightly: "The goal is set, the goal is not achieved, it is they who will be condemned at that time, the most afraid is to let the fans have hope, and then the hope is dashed, it's too early to say this, you want me to set a goal!" ”

"After qualifying for the group stage, I will give you an explanation!"

Listening to Bilic's words, Davao. Suke fell silent suddenly.

"You like a coach!"

"Blind your dog's eyes, Lao Tzu is the coach of the Croatian national team!"

After scolding each other, both of them couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Forget it, so be it, you guys played really well in the first round."

"Poland didn't see the situation clearly, maybe they played too easily in the European Championship qualifiers, thinking they were really strong!"

"Do you have confidence in playing Germany in the next game?"

"There should be, right?" Bilic turned to look at Vansteak, who was lying on the bed, struggling to write.

"What do you mean there should be?"

"It depends on the state of our assistant coach."

"Vansteak? Ha ha! Rest assured, he has a good set of playing Germans! ”

After the Croatian game, the first round of the European Championship continued.

Germany beat Austria 1-0 on the same day, giving the hosts enough face.

Matchday 3, the first round of Group C.

Romania held France to a strong draw.

The French team has entered the post-Zidane period, and the overall form is also declining, and the lack of offensive strength is also a big problem.

Compared to this match, the second leg is the key.

Holland vs. Italy.

The Orange Army, the Netherlands, are definitely a strong force in the European Championships.

The Dutch team, which has players such as Van Nistelrooy, Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Robben, Van Persie, etc., smashed Italy 3:0, the key of the last World Cup, when Robben did not play.

Without Totti's support, Italy's offensive would have been difficult to unfold.

The backline has suffered great changes with the retirement of Maldini and the withdrawal of Nesta from the national team.

Inzaghi was also selected for the Italian national team, otherwise the 35-year-old veteran would really be in the late stages of his career.

Of course, there is also the problem of the manager, Lippi left the team when his contract expired, and Donadoni obviously couldn't bear the pressure.

For many reasons and under pressure, Italy lost the game without any face.

In this game, Suker also saw it from beginning to end.

To be honest, it's hard to watch.

Suker has been through Italy's prime and has seen their strongest chain defence.

Watching Gattuso running non-stop to block loopholes, watching Pirlo take the initiative to get on his body and be knocked to the ground by his opponent in embarrassment, he could only sigh helplessly.

It's not a problem with any one player, it's a problem with Italian football as a whole.

Of course, this can't be called an upset, after all, the Netherlands are also a strong team.

Matchday 4 is also the last day of the group stage.

The game of the Matador Legion silenced the whole world.

83% possession of the ball, the kick made Russia dizzy.

Can't take it, Russia doesn't play well.

Throughout the game, Russia was very desperate, but they just couldn't grab the ball.

David. Villa wore a hat, and he became the first player to do so in the entire European Championship.

In the end, Spain defeated Russia 4-1 and won the victory.

In the final match of the first round of the group stage, Ibrahimovic's Sweden also defeated the last European Cup champion Greece 2-0.

At this point, the first round of the group stage is over.

Starting on June 12, the second round of the group stage will begin.

In the second round of the competition, three matches became the focus of the battle.

The first game, of course, was Croatia against Germany, which was also the focus of attention.

Ballack's Germany vs. Suker's Croatia is a tough match, even in the knockout stages.

The second is the Netherlands vs. France, the Orange Legion vs. the Gallic Roosters.

The third game, Sweden vs Spain.

Will Ibrahimovic be able to counter Spain's pass-and-control tactics.

Vienna, the capital of Austria.

After the first round of matches, the Croatian team moved to Austria to prepare for the second match.

They were accompanied by a large number of Croatian fans.

Today, fans from almost all of Europe are flocking to Switzerland and Austria, showing a multi-point shift.

Every day, major cities are in the process of receiving new fans and bidding farewell to old fans.

After a large number of Croatian fans settled in, Vienna was still extremely lively, and with the support of German fans, the game became particularly hot before it even started.

The local Viennese residents are also very excited.

They didn't expect to see a strong conversation in the group stage, and they were very happy to have this match in Viana.

Croatia and Germany, the two sides can be said to be star-studded and shining.

This strong dialogue will inevitably determine the form of qualification for Group B, for which both teams will have a hearty confrontation without reservation.

This is also very exciting for the local residents of Vienna.

At the same time, there are a large number of Croatian fans and German fans who are constantly bombing the streets, and the whole city has become extremely hot under the atmosphere.

The day before the race day, Vienna began to lay out the city.

Everywhere there was an element of Croatia's opposition to Germany.

Posters on street lamps, LED screens on the banks of the Danube.

The poster of Suker and Balague is hung in the most prominent position in the central square of Vienna, which tells everyone that there is going to be a big battle between Mars and Earth.

The training base where Croatia is located.

Vansteak was speaking.

"The Germans will foul our strikers very brutally in order to win, and what do we need to do?"

Vansteak paused, and Mandzukic said; "Avoid them and prevent injury?"

"No!" Vanstellak said solemnly; "It's against them, they foul, we have to foul too."

"We must not show weakness or avoid problems in front of the Germans, because if they do, they will suppress us even more fiercely."

"The next game is bound to be a bit harder, and there may even be a risk of injury, on the one hand, to ensure your own health, and on the other hand, to give the opponent a heavy enough blow! Do you understand? ”

The crowd shouted; "Understood!"
