Chapter 1155, the reproduced Champions League final
The European Championship battle is about to reach its climax, and all the top four teams have been selected.
Portugal, Spain, Germany, Italy.
All four teams are old European powerhouses in the broad sense of the word, and it makes sense to decide who wins and who loses.
However, at present, Spain is still firmly at the top of the odds list of major European bookmakers, far ahead of the other three teams.
Since Yunsheng took over the Italian team, the odds of the Italian team have continued to soar, and now they have surpassed the very favored German team.
The Portuguese team is slightly weaker, and the odds to win the semi-finals are at the bottom of the list.
Although not favored, Portugal played the best game of the tournament in the first semi-final on 28 June.
Many people think that Portugal will play defensive counter-attacks, just relying on Ronaldo's impact to find opportunities.
But I didn't expect that Portugal's offensive was even more fierce in this game! Like Spain, they played a 4-3-3 formation and were full of attack!
Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani flew on the wings, and Almeida in the middle was also quite impactful.
Although they have not scored, they continue to threaten the Spanish goal, so that their attack has not dared to be too presumptuous.
The game was 0-0 in regular time and no one scored in extra time, and it ended up in a penalty shootout.
In the shoot-out, Xavi Alonso and Moutinho both missed penalties in the first round, adding even more tension to the game.
In the next two groups of players, Iniesta, Pique, Nani, Pepe, all four players hit free throws, and the score became 2-2.
Ramos then scored a penalty and the score was 3-2.
The fourth Portuguese player to take on the pitch was centre-back Bruno Alves, whose penalty was miraculously saved by Casillas!
Sant Cassie tries to keep the goal open!
The last penalty was taken by Cesc Fabregas, and as soon as the penalty was scored, the game was over.
In the expectant eyes of the Spanish fans, Xiaofa shot a penalty into the lower right corner of the goal and successfully entered the net!
It's over!
In this ups and downs of the strong dialogue, Spain finally won and broke into the final of the European Cup!
Cristiano Ronaldo's tears after the game became a hot topic in many media, and he fell on or before the final for many years, which added a lot of pathos to Portugal.
But that's the way football is played, and Spain is once again in the spotlight of the world.
They are one step away from making a miracle, and if they can win the cup, then they will make history!
Winning the trophy for three consecutive years will be an unprecedented honor and unparalleled pride!
As for whether Italy or Germany stood in front of them, the Spaniards were still more concerned.
After the semi-finals on June 27, the Spanish coach just rested for the night and left early the next day.
However, instead of flying to Kyiv, Ukraine, where they were final, they went to Warsaw, Poland.
Because on June 28 at 20:45, another semi-final will be played in Warsaw.
The Spanish coach will have to watch the match up close and study the opponents he might face in advance.
Italy's quarter-final against England will be played in Kiev, the same venue as the final.
The day after the win against England a few days earlier, the entire Italian squad rushed to Warsaw to prepare for the game.
However, downstairs in the hotel, Yun Sheng told the front desk in front of all the generals: "All the rooms are kept!" After the semi-final win against Germany, we have to go back here and prepare for the European Championship final! ”
After speaking, Yun Sheng led the team to the bus without looking back, and a group of handsome Italian guys behind him looked at Yun Sheng's back with excitement and admiration.
Third captain De Rossi stabbed Piero: "Del, when he was in charge of Juventus, was he also so domineering? ”
Piero proudly said: "Of course, he is the best coach in the world. ”
Gattuso's eyes were full of appreciation: "It looks suave and elegant, like a university professor, I didn't expect it to be so arrogant in my bones, I like it, hahahaha!" ”
Cassano interjected on the side: "I think when I was in Ketbus, Coach Yunsheng had just debuted and didn't get any trophies, but he was also so arrogant, hahahaha!" ”
Won England on 24 June, flew to Warsaw on 25 June and went to recovery training on 26 and 27 June.
It is planned to have a full day off on the 28th to prepare for the evening game.
On the evening of the 27th, Yun Sheng led the whole team to watch the semi-finals between Spain and Portugal.
Seeing that Spain had the last laugh, Yun Sheng let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Spain won." ”
Cannavaro asked curiously, "Were you once a Spanish fan?" Why are you hoping for Spain to win? ”
Yun Sheng shrugged: "Because I don't want to sort out Portugal's player profiles anymore." After all, Spain are our group stage opponents and we already know them well, so that's why I want to play them more. ”
Speed agreed: "Yes, it's a good thing to play against Spain, we save a lot of trouble. As long as we win against Germany tomorrow, we will be able to meet Spain again, and I have confidence in our Italian team! ”
It was late after the game, Yun Sheng asked everyone to go and rest, he stayed in the conference room by himself for a while, Cannavaro and Speed did not leave, and stayed by Yun Sheng's side.
"Why don't you go back to rest, sir?"
'It's okay, I'd like to look at the player profile of the German team again and think about what they will change tomorrow.'
"Sir, is there anything else for the German team to prepare? Tomorrow's game, well, isn't it a repeat of the Champions League final. ”
All three laughed.
yes, tomorrow's game is really too much like this season's Champions League final.
There are a number of players from both teams who competed in the Champions League final.
Piero, Buffon, Pirlo, Chiellini, Barzagli and many other players in the Italian team are all the main players of Juve's quadruple crown.
In the German team, Mesut Ozil and Khedira are both Real Madrid players who started in the Champions League final; Metzelder was Juve's main central defender and eventually won the Champions League trophy.
In this way, there are more than a dozen players in this semi-final who participated in the Champions League final - starting and subs.
Yun Sheng looked at the German team information in his hand, his expression was very serious: "This team is excellent on all three lines, there are almost no loopholes and weaknesses, and they are the top players in Germany in all positions, and tomorrow's game is definitely a tough battle." ”
"But what worries me the most is not about that, it's about Piero. He's recovering well, but I'm still going to let him play only half the game to be on the safe side. After all, I hope he will last a little longer against Spain in the final. So tomorrow's game, without Piero in the second half, Italy will have the most difficult 45 minutes......"
