After the first match of the group, the Portuguese national team has ushered in a rest period, and they will begin to prepare for the second round of the European Cup.
The Portuguese national team currently ranks first in the group with three points, followed by the Czech team. They also have three points, but they are ranked second due to a low goal difference. In third place is the host Switzerland, ranked third
The fourth place is Turkey. The two teams also have zero points, but they are ranked this way because of the goal difference.
After the games in Group A ended, the two games in Group B also began. First, another host team, Austria, played, and their opponent was Croatia.
The host country Austria is ranked after 100 in the world, so its strength can be imagined. It is also difficult for some media to call the host country of this European Cup the weakest host country in history.
Croatia is very strong. In everyone's opinion, Croatia should easily defeat Austria. Sure enough, just four minutes into the game, Croatia got a penalty kick. Cruyff Modric scored the penalty in one go, making it 1-0.
.
However, after that, Croatia did not show a strength comparable to theirs. Instead, they gave Austria hope of equalizing the score. However, the Austrians were unlucky and eventually lost to their opponents at home by one goal.
Next is the second game of Group B, against the German team and the Polish team. This is the second favorite to win the European Cup. Loew's German team has attracted much attention. In recent years, Germany
The team's performance has been good, and they are also the favorites to win the championship.
After the game started, Podolski, who is of Polish descent, was very active. This guy was also popular among Polish fans. However, the person who killed the Polish team in this game happened to be Podolski, whom they were so popular with.
Ki, this guy's two goals killed the Polish team.
The German team also got off to a good start, defeating their opponents with two goals.
In this game, the German team also showed a very strong strength. The chances they got far exceeded the number of goals they scored. They are really very strong. This has brought a lot to the Portuguese national team.
It's pressure. At this time, media across Europe have begun to speculate that the German team is the biggest favorite in this European Cup.
On the third day, the Group C match officially started. This was the first appearance of the death group of this European Cup. The first game was Romania against France. France also had high hopes before the game. Romania was in the European Cup qualifiers.
The performance was amazing, and they even had one win and one draw against the Netherlands, maintaining an unbeaten record. They have proven to fans around the world that they are not weaklings.
This game attracted a lot of people's attention, but the result of this game was a bit depressing. Neither team was able to break through the opponent's goal. The two teams drew 0-0, with each scoring one point.
The second game of Group C is between the uncrowned king of the Netherlands and the World Cup champion Italy. There is no doubt about the strength of the Dutch team, but every time the Dutch team performs in the World Series, it is eye-catching, and then it is as fast as a meteor.
It usually disappears. There is a good beginning but no good ending.
Italy is different. In recent years, their lineup and strength do not seem to be top-notch, nor are they the favorites to win the championship. However, they have been able to achieve good results and even won the World Cup in Germany two years ago, which is surprising.
Somewhat unexpected.
Therefore, Italy's lineup for this European Cup does not look very strong, and they are also a bit older, but everyone still dare not underestimate them and regard them as the favorites to win this European Cup.
However, in this game, the Italians surprised people.
At the beginning of the game, the Italian national team could still compete with the Dutch team, but after twenty minutes, the Italian team was dragged away by the Dutch team.
In the 29th minute of the game, Ruud Ruud opened the scoring, leading Italy by one goal. After that, Sneijder and Fabronckhorst poured salt on the Italians' wounds one after another. In the end, the uncrowned king won with three goals.
world champion.
This game was really shocking. The speed of world champion Italy's decline was simply staggering. The domestic media in Italy were even more dissatisfied with the performance of the Italian national team and cursed and questioned the Italian national team.
The Italian national team encountered an unprecedented crisis, and the team's head coach was also questioned like never before. For a time, the Italian national team fell into a huge crisis.
After that, the last group match of this European Cup officially started. The first match was the Spanish team and the Russian team. The Spanish and Russian teams are both very strong. This match can be regarded as a strong showdown.
Spain's performance in this game was amazing, and the strength they showed was daunting. Russia is not a weak team, this is a team that has the strength to hit the top four. However, even such a team was beaten by the Spanish team
It became a plug.
David Villa's hat trick and Cesc Fabregas' goal gave Spain a 4-1 victory over the Russian team. Spain's power is not only reflected in these four goals. The strength of the Spanish national team is really impressive.
People are shocked.
The players of the Portuguese national team were silent when they saw the performance of the Spanish national team. Qiu Ze also fell into deep thought. In his memory, he certainly knew how powerful the Spanish team was, but at this time, he still felt
Shocked.
After this game, the last match of the group stage of this European Cup will be played against the last European Cup champions Greece and Sweden.
The current Greek team is no longer the Greek team four years ago. Everyone also thinks that the Greek team will not be able to stage another Greek myth. They will not be able to shake the Swedish team. This was proved after the game started. Ibrahimo
Vicci's world wave blasted the Greek team's goal, and then at the end of the second half, Ibrahimovic shot from the penalty area, 2-0.
The Swedish team easily defeated the Greek team 2-0 and won a good start in the group stage.
So far, all the top 16 teams in this European Cup have appeared. Among them, the most impressive performance is Spain, followed by Germany and Portugal. However, among them, Spain is undoubtedly the most eye-catching team. At this time,
Almost everyone believes that Spain will win the European Cup.
Of course, there are good ones and there are bad ones. The most disappointing among them is the World Cup champion Italy. Of course, there is also the World Cup runner-up France. The performance of these two teams makes everyone know the performance of a team.
How fast can one fall?
Now that the first round of the European Cup group matches is over, the next step is the second round of the European Cup group matches. The Czech team and the Portuguese national team are the first to kick off the second round of the European Cup group matches.
Both teams have won the first round of the group stage, and the two teams are now tied with three points. If who wins this game, it will largely determine who will be the first in Group A.
.
As the favorites to win the championship, the Portuguese team easily defeated the powerful Turkish team in the first round. Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari also stated that he would strive to score six points after two games and qualify early.
Although the Portuguese team, which has superior technology and state, is expected to do this, it will not be easy to defeat the Eastern European team Czech Republic.
Although the Czech team's midfield vitality was severely damaged due to Nedvěd's withdrawal and Roski's absence, the team has always focused on the overall situation and did not rely solely on the individual abilities of the stars. In the first round against the host Swiss team, the Czech team was actually not in a good situation.
Dominated, but still defeated the opponent 1-0 and got off to a good start. With goalkeeper Petr Cech, the Czech team is not afraid to compete with any strong team.
Coach Brückner is also an "old fox". After learning from the disastrous defeat in the World Cup two years ago, he has reminded his men to play this game as a final. The Czechs also know the importance of this game.
Prasil said: "In the World Cup in Germany, we also won the first game, but then failed to win anything in the next two games and were eventually eliminated. This time we have to learn lessons."
The Czech national team attaches great importance to this game. They know the importance of this game. Although it is difficult to defeat the Portuguese national team, they will not give up. Of course, a draw is also acceptable to them.
However, the Czech team's head coach Lucner reminded the Czech team players during training not to play this game with the intention of keeping a tie. The Czech team should play this game as the final and must strive to win.
.
Regarding the Czech national team, although the Portuguese national team has an advantage, the players of the Portuguese national team do not underestimate their opponents. They attach great importance to this game. They believe that the Czech team is not without the ability to fight, and they must be careful.
During the pre-match preparations, the head coach of the Portuguese national team Luiz Felipe Scolari reminded the players of the Portuguese national team to be careful and not to underestimate their opponents. This is a team that has always been more powerful than the Turkish national team.
be careful.
After the match between Portugal and the Czech Republic, it will be a life-and-death battle. Neither the Swiss nor the Turkish team, which is empty-handed, can afford to lose. The host country, which does not want to end in disgrace, must take three points from its opponents and sit on the home court.
They are more advantageous in this kind of competition.
The result of the match between the Swiss team and the Turkish team will also affect the qualifying situation of this group. If the two teams draw, the winner of the Czech and Portuguese national teams will qualify from the group one round ahead of schedule.
However, it is obvious that there is no chance of a draw between Switzerland and Turkey, because if Turkey and Switzerland want to qualify, both teams have to compete for three points. One point is very dangerous for them, and of course they are willing to get three points.
Yeah.
The game against the Portuguese team did not actually reflect the true level of the Turkish team. "Emperor" Trim deliberately arranged a conservative formation because of the Portuguese's reputation. As a result, he was completely suppressed by the opponent's wanton attack, but his skills were two times worse.
The Swiss are of a higher level and are in urgent need of three points. They are likely to adjust their tactics and start attacking. However, such a scene is exactly what the Swiss team hopes for, because what they are best at is defensive counterattack.
Therefore, this second round of games will not be as gentle as the first round. Now in order to compete for qualifying spots, each team must work hard. Therefore, some say that the European Cup will actually start on
