46. ??The European Cup semi-finals were born

At this time, Qiu Ze's agent Victor Antonio was very busy. While he was busy with the Wenchuan earthquake relief work, he also had to help Qiu Ze handle these business contracts. He was really busy and angry.

Can't breathe anymore.

However, Victor Antonio is busy and cheerful. These are all good things. What's the point of being a little busier?

While Victor Antonio is busy, Qiu Ze is training hard to prepare for the next European Cup semi-finals. At the same time, at this time, the remaining quarter-finals of the European Cup are also going on.

.

The quarter-finals after the German team and the Portuguese national team are between Turkey, second in Group A, and Croatia, the first in Group B. The winner of this game is the Portuguese national team in the semi-finals.

opponent.

I still remember the huge reversal that the Turkish team, second in Group A, staged in the final round of the group stage. Turkey’s tenacity is still fresh in the minds of people across Europe. In this game, the Turks once again let people see their tenacity.

After the game started, the Turkish national team still chose the strategy of defensive counterattack. The Croatian team in front of them was the team that defeated the German team. How weak can their offensive strength be? So, if they attack Croatia, is it not seeking death?

As a result, Türkiye still defended and counterattacked, and they were more familiar with this style of play.

After the game started, Croatia's offense was very fierce, especially Modric's performance was simply outstanding. It's no wonder that some people gave him the title of "New Cruyff", and there are countless wealthy clubs behind him.

Chasing and chasing.

However, the Turks were very tenacious. Under their tight defense, Croatia, which was very offensive, could not find a place to attack.

In the end, neither side scored a goal within 90 minutes of the game, and the two sides entered overtime. After entering overtime, the Turkish national team still played according to their tactics. At one time, they played well, but they saw a penalty kick.

Come, the Turks' tactics will be successful.

Before the 118 minutes of overtime, the deadlock of the game was still not broken. The climax of this game was staged in the last three minutes.

In the 119th minute of the game, Croatia's Klashnic finally broke the deadlock. The Croatian team broke through from the right and Srna was blocked. Modric got the ball before it went out of the baseline and turned around to pass. Rustu attacked and released.

Empty goal, Klashniqi shook his head in front of the goal and broke the net, Croatia one to zero Turkey.

Sure enough, Modric showed people his power and value, and he certainly lived up to his reputation.

At this time, everyone thought that the Turks were doomed, but the tenacious Turks once again shocked everyone in Europe with their tenacity.

In the second minute of stoppage time after 120 minutes of overtime, which was the 122nd minute of the game, Turkey's Semih drew the ball into the net during a melee in the penalty area. The Turkish team used an even more magical

Method to equalize the score, the Turks successfully saved themselves and pulled themselves back from the edge of the cliff. Then the 120-minute game ended and the game entered a penalty shootout.

In the penalty shootout, Turkey made a strong attack and defeated Croatia 3-1. In the end, the Turks miraculously reversed Croatia with a total score of 4-2 and advanced to the semi-finals.

This game shocked everyone in Europe. Turkey is so tenacious. It seems that Turkey really has the potential to become a super dark horse. Now everyone is paying attention to this Turkish team. If they win the championship in the end, everyone will also

There won't be any surprise because they have the strength.

The third game of the quarter can be described as a civil war in the Netherlands. Before this game, this game was hyped up. They believed that this game would prove who is the most authentic Dutch football.

Because someone said before the game that although Hiddink's players are Russians, they play the most authentic Dutch football, taking total offense and total defense to the extreme. Although Van Bast's players are all Dutch

, but they are not playing authentic Dutch football.

Therefore, this game has become the most authentic Dutch football battle.

Russia's progress under the leadership of Hiddink has indeed been very obvious, and they played very beautifully and are very strong. Before the game, many fans were more optimistic about the Russian team.

After the start of the game, both sides exchanged offense and defense, and both performed well. However, the Russian team led by Hiddink took the lead in the 56th minute and almost led until the end of the game. However, the tenacious Dutch team scored in the first half of the game.

The score was equalized in the 86th minute and the two sides entered overtime.

The progress of this game was indeed shocking, because Russia really played better than the Dutch team. This surprised people. Do the Russians play the most authentic Dutch football?

After entering overtime, the advantage of Hiddink's Russian national team became more obvious, and they completely attacked and defended. Within five minutes of overtime, Russia scored two goals and defeated the Netherlands with a score of 3 to 1 to enter the semi-finals.

.

This result almost shattered everyone's eyes. It was so shocking and surprising. The Russians really defeated the Dutch team in the end and promoted Dutch football.

At this time, the Dutch fans felt very uncomfortable. Their Dutch team was eliminated and they felt very unhappy. They were Dutch footballers but they were not eliminated. The Russians showed through this game that the football they played was the best.

More Dutch.

This made the Dutch feel very unhappy. They began to complain to the Dutch Football Association. Why didn't Hiddink be chosen to coach the Dutch team in the first place? If Hiddink is now coaching the Dutch team, will the Dutch team be eliminated?

Obviously not! So, at this time, many Dutch goalkeepers began to call on Dutch football to let Hiddink become the head coach of the Dutch national team.

The last quarter-final is between the Matador Legion and the World Cup champion Italy. This game is also very interesting because one is a former world champion and the other is now very strong and is considered to be the best player in this European tournament.

The favorite to win the cup.

In this game, almost everyone is optimistic about the Spanish team, because the performance of the Italian national team in the group stage is simply too disappointing. This is simply not the performance that a world champion should have. Even some Italian fans think that Italy is hanging by a thread.

, Spain should win.

However, the national team performed well in this game. They even had a chance to defeat the Spanish team in the game. Unfortunately, their forward did not wear shooting boots, which continued their poor performance in the previous group stage and missed many goals.

opportunity, the two sides ended up scoring 0-0 within 120 minutes, and the two sides entered a penalty shootout.

The penalty shootout became a battle between the two super goalkeepers Casillas and Buffon. In the end, Sancassi defeated Buffon with two penalty kicks. The Spanish national team was the last to advance to the semi-finals with a score of 4 to 2.

The performance of Italy, the former world champion in this European Cup, is really bad. It is amazing that they can qualify from the group. The performance of the Italian national team's forward and defense is quite poor, which makes Italian fans very dissatisfied.

.

So far, the semi-finals of the 2008 Swiss-Austria European Cup have been formed, including Portugal, Turkey, Russia and Spain. The semi-finals are Portugal vs. Turkey and Russia vs. Spain.

The Portuguese national team and the Turkish national team have already played against each other in the group stage. They are from the same group. In the previous game, the Portuguese national team defeated the Turkish national team, but it was not easy for them to win.

Therefore, the Portuguese national team may not have entered the finals of this European Cup with just one foot.

Now this game is called a revenge game by the Turkish media. After experiencing several major reversals in the finals, the Turks are now full of confidence. They firmly believe that they are no worse than any other team and they have the ability to impact the final.

The strength of a champion.

This European Cup is really interesting. The first place is the group stage. The first place in the four groups has won three consecutive victories and scored nine points to qualify. This is really very common in the European Cup.

This shows that there is still a huge gap in strength between the teams in this European Cup.

Then there are the semi-finals of this European Cup. Look at Portugal versus Turkey, Russia versus Spain. The Portuguese national team and the Turkish national team are from the same group. The Portuguese national team defeated the Turkish team in the group stage.

The Russian and Spanish national teams are also from the same group. In the group stage, the Spanish national team also defeated the Russian national team. Isn’t this very interesting? Two teams in the same group met in the semi-finals, and the two teams

This is the case in every semi-final, which is really interesting.

In the first game between Portugal and Turkey, although the Portuguese national team won the game and the score was relatively large, it was not easy for them to win. This is a fact. The same is true between Russia and Spain. Although Spain also scored two goals

They defeated the Russian team, but it was not easy for them to win. The Russian team also created many opportunities during the game and almost overturned the Spanish team.

Therefore, these two games are not as suspenseful as they appear on the surface. The suspense of these two games is actually quite strong. It is obvious that both Turkey and Russia want revenge and advance to the finals.

.

This time, they will definitely not let the situation in the group stage happen again, so these two games will definitely not be too calm. These two games will definitely be very interesting and exciting.

When they learned that their opponent was the Turkish national team, the players of the Portuguese national team were not particularly happy. They did not think that they would definitely be able to advance to the finals. Instead, they were a little worried.

The performance of the Turkish national team in the group stage and knockout rounds has sounded the alarm to the Portuguese national team. Turkey is very tenacious and they cannot capsize. When playing against Turkey, you have to be highly focused and open up every minute and every second.

Not even a small business trip.

In this regard, Scolari emphasized to the Portuguese national team players in every training session that they must not take it lightly, and they must not give the Turkish national team a chance to make a comeback. They must be focused at all times, even if

It's the same when you're leading by a big score.
