It's July, and the final competition for the European Championship has officially begun.

Since July 1st, the quarterfinals of the European Championship have been played one after another, and the schedule of the quarterfinals is different from before, with only one game per day.

Belgium's match against Wales is scheduled to start on July 2.

This means that their time is really running out, and the battle is completely in its final moments.

Before watching Poland and Portugal, Mr Wilmots first started the arrangements for the match against Wales.

"It's mainly a few points, the defense of set-pieces, and some of the details of the routine in the defense."

Mr Wilmots maneuvered the tactical board and told his players, "The Welsh team has a lot of ability from set-pieces, whether it's a direct shot from a Bale's free-kick or a header from a corner. ”

"In this game, we have to determine the position of the zone defense, and strictly perform the duties of the zone defense, and no one can be led astray."

'Alderweireld, front of the six-yard box, Vertonghen, middle, Meunier, back post.'

'The position of the three of you is the most important thing, you have to stand up, you can run a few steps with their players when necessary, but at the end of the day you have to stand your own position.

"The rest of the people are also arranged......"

Wilmots has always emphasized the defense of set-pieces, and this simple way of attacking and defending is actually still a lot of doorways in it.

A second-rate team in Europe, if they want to upset a first-class team, set-pieces are their best point.

They can't find an advantage on the ground, and they will definitely find a way in the air.

And this kind of zone defense, although sometimes too extreme, is actually a good way.

As long as the opponent does not know in advance and makes some special targets, the scoring rate of set-pieces will not be very high.

'The other thing is the midfield defence, the full-backs have to move closer to the middle when necessary, you know? Make sure you have the number of people in the middle lane and don't let them advance too fast. ”

"You can take the initiative to play on the wing, Wales like to use Bale's speed to attack the wing, but as long as you keep the inside, the threat is not very big, understand?"

After saying this, he also emphasized a lot of details and talked a lot.

It can be seen that this match is a game in which Wilmots has done a lot of work, and his mentality has completely changed now, and he is no longer the kind of fight he used to be.

He has to shield the team from more risks, make the team as comfortable as possible on the pitch, and go further in the European Championship!

He needs these results to prove himself and fight back against those voices from the outside world!

After these tactics were finished, Wilmots clapped his hands and said, "Okay, remember not to spread these arrangements, not anyone, it's a critical period, please keep everyone fully suspicious of every outsider." ”

"Let's take a look at the Portugal game."

Wilmots turned around and called up the upcoming Poland vs. Portugal match.

It's important to see a possible Big Four.

In this game, the start was still very exciting, Lewandowski grabbed the goal in the first two minutes, and rewrote the score to 1-0.

However, Portugal equalised just before half-time through young teenager Renato Sanchez.

Since then, both teams seem to have shifted their focus to defense, and both have played cautiously.

This caution continued until the end of the game and lasted the entire overtime......

The two teams had to go to penalties to decide in this brutal way.

In the end, Poland lost 3-5 to Portugal on penalties and fell in front of the in-form Portuguese goalkeeper, Patricio.

The first seat in the semi-finals appeared, and it turned out to be Portugal, which everyone was not optimistic about before......

This team has been going all the way, but it has been too difficult.

Perhaps, this is the destiny of heaven, the powerful spiritual attributes allow them to defeat strong enemies one after another, and sometimes even luck is on their side.

After watching the game, all the players were in the final state of readiness.

Tomorrow's game, if they can win successfully, they will officially attack the championship!

When it comes to the semi-finals, it's a completely different scenery!

…………

On July 2, the Belgian team took a charter flight to Lille.

Their match will be played at the Stade Pierre in Lille, which appears to be a new stadium named after a person, and the full name is very tongue-twisting.

It is also a very large stadium, which can accommodate more than 50,000 people at the same time.

As you can imagine, there must be a fiery atmosphere today, with fans from Belgium and Wales filling the area, including tens of thousands of tourists.

When the whole team gathered together to get on the bus to the airport, Courtois, who was not in the squad, actually walked up and sat in the back row by himself.

Seeing this scene, all the players were a little uncomfortable, but they didn't say anything.

Courtois is so thick-skinned, what else are they going to say?

Do you want him to go down?

At the same time, everyone probably understood what Courtois meant, probably wanting to see them lose this game with their own eyes, and then arch the fire next to it......

This made many people even more unhappy, and they planned to have a good fight with Courtois after the game.

"Yufeng, I saw a paparazzi secretly taking a photo, saying that you and Taylor Swift are dating?"

Sitting in the car, the bored Lukaku laughed and talked, as if he wanted to have some fun.

"Is there something wrong?" Chen Yufeng glanced at Lukaku and replied.

"Really?" This made Lukaku unexpected, and after looking at his other teammates, he said; "Are you really dating her?"

"Waterlaw? She went to Belgium to see it? Lukaku looked very frustrated, holding his head in place like a fool.

"Is it difficult to follow you?" Hazard sneered beside him: "You better don't think about that kind of person. ”

"What does this have to do with you, you can't get it." Lukaku glanced at Hazard unconvinced and replied.

"I really envy Yufeng, even if you score a lot of goals, there is still a big beauty standing in the stands staring." Mignolet was really envious, and his tone was very yearning.

Everyone teased a few more words, but it made the atmosphere good at the beginning.

Not long after, they boarded a charter flight to Lille as they arrived at the airport.

…………

At 1:40 p.m., with the final twenty minutes to go, all the players sat nervously in the dressing room, listening to Mr. Wilmots' final instructions.

"Remember the ones arranged yesterday and keep your head up! Don't be confused, don't be confused! Did you hear that? ”

Wilmots looked very excited, clapped his hands and said, "You guys can do it!" Wales is no match for you! Come on, come on! ”

The starters were rubbing their hands together and were very excited.

Now that the race is on, no one wants to stop there, they all want to rush to the wider sky!

"Rush rush! We can! ”

"Come on! For the dream of our champions! ”

"Kill!"

The players gave a few final cheers and then walked up the tunnel to the players' tunnel.

Wilmots walked at the back of the line, equally full of energy, as if he was on the verge of an important moment in his life.

Today's quarterfinals are also a new experience for him.

When he was a player, he didn't make a decent name in this team, and now standing in this position, he must want to hit a higher level of honor!

"Mr. Wilmotz, urgent." Suddenly, an assistant coach stopped him, his expression was very solemn and angry.

"What?" Wilmots suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Courtois and his father were interviewed by the media yesterday and I just saw your match and they published it in the newspaper yesterday." The assistant coach picked up his phone and clicked on a message.

The release time was nine o'clock yesterday evening.

Wilmots suddenly seemed to be frozen in place, his eyes instantly turned red, and he turned to lock on to the figure in his regular clothes at the door of the locker room.

"It really shocked me."

He gritted his teeth and said, then rushed to Courtois quickly, and after going up, he directly tore the clothes on Courtois's chest, and the whole person completely lost the ability to think, "You did that, right?" ”

"What?"

Courtois looked away and turned his head, not wanting to exchange too many glances with Wilmots, who had lost his mind at this time.

"You traitor! Shame on you!! You're unimaginable! ”

Wilmots pushed Courtois against the wall heavily, clutching Courtois's clothes, "Do you know how long everyone has been preparing for this European Championship and how many people's expectations they carry!" ”

"You know what! Or do you only think about your own emotions, good or bad, just a slut who is selfish to the extreme! ”

"That's what my father said, and it has nothing to do with me." Courtois frowned, but said so.

"Did I say that it is forbidden to communicate my tactical intentions to anyone! Anyone! ”

Wilmots only felt that he was almost going to have a heart attack, and threw Courtois against the wall, "You are all traitors to the team!" ”

"I really never thought that our relationship would never rise to this point! I didn't even guard against you, villain! ”

He resisted the urge to make a move with Courtois in the last minute and turned and rushed to the players' tunnel, where he had to inform his players of the incident.

Wilmots was so anxious that he even had tears in his eyes, what a chilling thing.

"Wait! Disrupt all special tactical arrangements! All! Do you understand? ”

He quickly approached the players and transmitted the intention to them in Dutch, "Courtois betrayed the team!" Everything about us was known in advance by the Welsh coach. ”

Many people in the team looked back and saw this scene, and suddenly turned their heads to a few teammates who could speak Dutch.

A minute later, everyone received the news, and then their eyes widened and their mouths opened in shock.

"Is this something that people would do?!"

Even Romelu Lukaku, who has never been involved in this, has the urge to rush directly to the players' tunnel and beat Courtois violently.

Chen Yufeng, who was standing in the back row of the team, also gritted his teeth, glanced at the Welsh team members next to him, and was very curious about why he didn't take a closer look at Courtois's bad history before crossing.

"Beep!"

At this time, the whistle sounded in front of them, and everyone had to come out first.
