Three to one, the Portuguese national team defeated the Czech team and won two consecutive group victories, raising their points to six points. Now the Portuguese national team is only a few hours away from qualifying one round ahead of schedule.
Because whether the Portuguese national team can qualify depends on the result of another game in the same group, Turkey's match against the host Switzerland.
After losing this game, the Czechs felt very sad. They had prepared a lot for this game. They were very well prepared. In their opinion, they should be able to score points against Portugal. Unfortunately,
they do not.
In this game, Czech coach Brückner made a change and hid the top forward Jan Koller. Instead, he sent Baros, the golden boot of the European Cup four years ago, hoping to take advantage of Baros's excellent running.
The dynamic ability puts pressure on the opponent's midfield and defense.
But judging from the result of the game, Brückner's calculation was obviously wrong. Although Baros scored a penalty kick in the game. But other than this penalty kick, Baros really
There is no performance worthy of praise. This guy is no longer the Baros he was four years ago.
Jankoler, who performed well in the first game, did not play. This was indeed a mistake. The Czech team did not put enough pressure on the Portuguese team on the front line, which resulted in Portugal being able to attack as they pleased.
Baros's performance in this game was not ideal, but after the game in the mixed interview area, Baros also explained that he could start: "Yesterday the coach told me that I will start in today's game. I hope my running ability will be better."
Reduce the pressure on the midfield and backcourt. Since I have the opportunity to play, I will try my best. In fact, we still have a good chance, but the opponent's second goal caught us a bit off guard. We could not have lost this game."
Baros's words were a bit of an explanation for himself and a way to shirk responsibility. After all, his performance today was really not very good. Just such a sentence cannot be justified.
The veteran Kohler, who was replaced by Baros in the starting lineup, said in an interview in the mixed zone: "The head coach's arrangement is correct. The Portuguese national team's attack is very strong and has a strong impact. And the defense is not bad at preventing high-altitude balls."
, On the contrary, it is a lack of dexterity. Baros playing can really help the team in this regard. The only thing we did not expect was that Baros was not in very good condition. We felt very regretful that we lost this game.
, but this is not the end of the world. We still have a chance and we will qualify."
It seems that before the game, Brückner was already wary of Portugal's strong attacking power, so he adopted a defensive strategy. After all, after defeating the host Switzerland, a draw would be a good result.
Jankulovski, a full-back from the Rossoneri, said in an interview in the mixed zone: "The coach asked our two full-backs not to press too much and not to leave too much space for Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani.
The space and his sprinting speed are what we are more afraid of. Although we lost the game, not everything is over. The initiative in the next game is still in our hands. We will prepare well and strive to appear."
Before the game, we made full preparations to receive guests, but we still did not achieve the results we wanted. This only shows that the Portuguese team performed too well and was too strong.
Brückner, the head coach of the Czech national team, also confirmed this. He said at the post-match press conference: "The Portuguese national team is very strong, they are perfect. We are not their opponents, this fact.
The Portuguese national team is the most favorable contender for this European Cup championship, and if they do not have internal problems, the championship will definitely belong to them."
Brückner has great respect for the Portuguese national team, and of course he is even more envious of the fact that Portugal has an outstanding player like Qiu Ze in the team.
Brückner also said at the press conference after the game: "Chris is one of the best players. He is a very dangerous weapon. We lost to this talented player. I am very envious."
Scolari, he can have such a player in his team. Of course, the Portuguese team is not just Qiu Ze, they have other very good players, but Chris Qiu is likely to be the best player in the 2008 European Cup
players.”
However, Czech coach Brückner did not lose confidence in his team. He said: "We proved that we can play well. We created many opportunities, especially in the first half. Compared to us
The first game was much better, but they were perfect."
Czech team coach Brückner also said: "Losing this game is not the end of the world. We still have a chance. I believe that our Czech team will definitely have a place in the top eight."
Indeed, Czech team coach Brückner said it right. In this game, the Czech team does not have no chance. They are also very capable. Portuguese national team coach Luiz Felipe Scolari also confirmed this.
Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said at the post-match press conference: "The Czech team did perform very well. We experienced difficult moments during the game. The Czech team put a lot of pressure on us during that period. If
If the second and third goals had not come in time, this game would have been hard to say."
Scolari also said: "However, overall we performed well and finally won the game. This is the most important thing."
Of course, Scolari also praised Qiu Ze, who performed the best after the game. He said: "Although Chris is still very young, he has now become the 'brain' of the Portuguese national team. He is our offensive midfielder."
Absolute core, there is no doubt about his strength, which has been well proven in these two games. And I also agree with Mr. Brückner's words - Chris is most likely to be the best player in the 2008 European Cup.
.”
Qiu Ze was praised highly by the head coaches of both teams. This guy is extremely prosperous now.
At this time, the outside media had to marvel at Qiu Ze's performance. This guy really didn't look like a young player participating in a competition like the European Cup for the first time. This guy's performance on the court was simply too mature and too mature.
Amazing.
He sent four goals and two assists in two games. All six goals scored by the Portuguese national team were related to this guy. It can be said that the two consecutive victories of the Portuguese national team came from Qiu Ze’s outstanding performance.
The guy's performance was simply amazing.
Qiu Ze's performance is much more eye-catching than Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been very fired recently. Cristiano Ronaldo may have been busy with his transfer plan recently, so his performance in the game was very
of scum.
Now, Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo are at odds with each other. Countless media and fans are now satirizing Real Madrid. Why don’t you spend 90 million to buy a Cristiano Ronaldo?
Spend 60 million to buy a Qiu Ze.
Real Madrid is really stupid, a typical example of people with too much money being stupid. They only know how to buy expensive things but not the good ones. Now Real Madrid has become the target of ridicule from the outside world.
However, this still did not dispel the interest of Real Madrid people in Cristiano Ronaldo. Real Madrid really has a soft spot for Cristiano Ronaldo, what do you think?
At this time, not everyone is on Qiu Ze's side. Many media are still more optimistic about Cristiano Ronaldo. They believe that Cristiano Ronaldo's recent poor performance is actually due to three major aspects.
reason.
The first reason is that Cristiano Ronaldo has been affected by transfers, which prevents him from devoting all his energy to the game.
Now everyone knows that Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to leave Manchester United and go to Real Madrid. However, Manchester United does not agree. For this reason, Manchester United also sued Real Madrid to FIFA. This is very important to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo has a great influence.
The second reason is the reason for the Portuguese national team coach Scolari. Scolari prefers Qiu Ze. This is a secret that everyone knows. And it is said that it is because of Qiu Ze, Scolari and
Cristiano Ronaldo had conflicts and once made different remarks, which made Scolari no longer trust him.
The third reason is Qiu Ze. When Qiu Ze came to the Portuguese national team, he immediately became the core midfielder of the Portuguese national team, snatching away Cristiano Ronaldo's players and giving him more ball rights.
The ground was concentrated at Qiu Ze's feet, and as soon as Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball, the Portuguese players clamored for Cristiano Ronaldo to pass the ball.
Cristiano Ronaldo is originally a player who relies on taking the ball to create opportunities. It is strange that he can perform well without the ball at his feet.
Therefore, those who support Cristiano Ronaldo believe that the reason for Cristiano Ronaldo's recent poor performance is not Cristiano Ronaldo, but the tactics.
At this time, the game between Turkey and the Swiss national team officially ended. The host Switzerland was one goal ahead, but was reversed by the Turkish team with two goals in a row. Although Turkey won this game, the victory was very thrilling.
Their second goal was scored in the 93rd minute of the game, which was the last minute of the game.
The Turkish national team is really lucky. They reached out to seize their destiny in the last minute.
In this way, after the second round of Group A of the European Cup, Portugal accumulated six points from two games and became the first team to advance to the quarterfinals of this European Cup; while the host Switzerland lost to Turkey 1-2 and lost both games.
The loss became the first team to be eliminated. The remaining qualifying spot in this group will be between Turkey and the Czech Republic. The two teams will face off directly in the third round.
Now the Turkish national team and the Czech team have the same three points, and the goal difference is the same. In this case, this last round of competition is very important. If in this last round of competition, who wins in the end, then
will successfully qualify.
However, if the two teams draw in this final round, then the situation between the two teams will be a bit complicated. Because now they have the same points, the same goal difference, and the winning-losing relationship is also equal, because
It's a draw.
In that case, the two sides will have to compare the number of goals. At present, Turkey has three goals, while the Czech team has only two goals. Therefore, the Turkish team will advance in the end.
In this case, the Czech team's only goal in the final round is to win. Only by winning can they advance to the quarterfinals of the European Cup.
The second round of Group A has ended, and the qualifying situation for this group is particularly clear. Portugal has become the first team to advance to the quarterfinals of the European Cup. The strength of the Portuguese national team is amazing.
However, at this moment, an extremely shocking thing happened.
Just a few hours after the Portuguese national team defeated the Czech national team, the Premier League Chelsea club announced on its official website that Brazilian coach Scolari of the Portuguese national team will officially coach Chelsea on July 1, 2008.
Chelsea Club stated in this statement that Chelsea is happy to welcome Scolari. He has a very high level and is one of the top coaches in the world. He has achieved great results whether in the club or in the national team.
Success, he can train a team with many high-level players to the best, his personal ambitions and expectations coincide with Chelsea Club, he is a good choice.
