Chapter 447 The Divine European Championship
Chapter 447 The Mythical European Championship
He and Jun Ji-hyun didn't stay in South Korea for too long, and soon they boarded a plane to Portugal.
If there is nothing to do with Notts County, then David may only go to the stadium to enjoy the final, but it is different now, too many players from Notts County will appear on the field of this European Championship, David Can't favor one over another, every player is his heart and soul, David hopes to see them perform well.
For players, being teammates at the club but becoming rivals at the national team is not a good feeling.
So even though David came to Portugal, he didn't have much contact with the players, so let the players concentrate on preparing for the game.
For this European Championship, David was very impressed in his previous life, because this European Championship gave birth to too many classics and too many topics. Of course, the most memorable one is the myth of the dark horse. Reaching the top is like Notts County winning the Premier League, so magical.
In the opening game, the Greek team led by Emperor Rehhagel defeated the host, the golden generation of Portugal, in a dark horse manner, which also cast a shadow on the host's way to win the championship.
There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, Portugal underestimated the enemy. On the other hand, the defense of the Greek team is indeed of first-class level. At the foot of a civilian team.
After the game, David sent text messages to comfort Deco and Carvalho. This competition is the best chance for Portugal to win the championship. The performance of these two players is also very important for Portugal.
There are three games in the group, and the outcome of one game cannot determine too many results. With Portugal's strength, as long as it can face the opponent squarely, there must be no problem qualifying. The problem, in their view, is that the arch-enemy Spain is also extremely strong, and Portugal is really not sure of defeating Spain.
After the opening game, the European Championship officially kicked off, and one after another exciting games were presented in front of the fans. This is a feast of football.
There is no doubt that Rooney is the most eye-catching supernova in this European Championship. He scored four goals in three group matches, which is simply a miracle. You know, he is only in his early 17s this summer.
Of course, if Rooney were to change his home country, perhaps his achievements would be higher. England is known as the favorite to win every competition, but the final result is usually eliminated early.
Thinking that Ferguson will bring Rooney to Old Trafford at an unimaginable price this summer, David's heart is burning. In fact, he also wants to bring Rooney to Notts County.
Even if some people say that Rooney is the pinnacle of his career directly from his debut, it is undeniable that he has the strength of a first-class superstar after all, but in Notts County, it is difficult to have his position, so David can only give up this idea.
After the three rounds of the group stage, some people were happy and others were sad. The teams that missed the quarter-finals were sadly eliminated, while the teams that entered the quarter-finals had to move on for honor.
The most regrettable thing is the Italian national team. The first two games did not show their strength because of the slow heat, and achieved two consecutive draws. Although they defeated Bulgaria in the third group match, the Nordic brothers Sweden and Denmark 2: In the draw of 2, Italy can only go home. Even if the whole world is scolding Sweden and Denmark for match-fixing, so what, the result cannot be changed.
Although Di Natale has entered the Italian national team, he has no status in the club. He played as a substitute in the three group matches. The responsibility for elimination has nothing to do with him, but David still went to comfort him. He said, even if he left, but the friendship is still there.
Of course, Di Natale is not the only one that David needs to comfort. Spain and Germany both failed to return from the group stage, and these two national teams are big players in Notts County.
Even if he won the European Golden Boot, Villa is still just the younger brother next to the captain and spiritual leader Raul in the national team. Raul must occupy a position as a striker partner, and Billy, who has a similar style to Raul Naturally, Morientes cannot compete with Morientes. After all, the tactical center Morientes can provide the team with more tactical changes. Villa only came off the bench in the three games. Even in the game against Greece, Billia Ya scored the equalizer goal, but his first national team competition was over.
As for Iniesta, Alonso and Diego Lopez, sadly, they didn't even get a chance to play. This European Cup is definitely a big disappointment for them.
In the German team, this is the period when seniority is the most important. Even though Westermann has the strength to start, he can only sit on the bench and watch the game. Tom didn't get much chance.
It is not a bad thing for Germany to be out of the game. It is precisely because of the failure of this European Championship that it also promoted the rise of Germany's youth training and made the most fundamental contribution to Germany's subsequent stable ranking among the world's top teams.
Although David couldn't bear to see the players frustrated, the national team returned home early and the players could get more rest, which is very beneficial to Notts County's preparations for the new season.
And in the next knockout round, all the national teams have also resorted to their housekeeping skills. At this time, no one wants to be a loser.
Portugal eliminated England on penalties. Deco and Carvalho performed well, and Deco also won the best of the game.
The French national team was also defeated by Greece's iron defense. Even the attack line led by Zidane was completely frozen, and they could not escape the fate of the rise of the myth.In this game, due to the extremely compressed space, Ribery's performance was not as amazing as before, but his first competition still left a deep impression on people. France seems to have found Zidane's successor .
Sweden and the Netherlands also fought until the penalty shootout, and the Netherlands advanced. In fact, the Netherlands created countless killing opportunities during the game. Robben performed particularly well. The power of chance is too strong, and no one can save it.
In the next semi-final, the hosts Portugal and the Netherlands met.
What no one thought was that the key to the outcome of this game were players from Notts County. All three goals in this game were scored by Notts County players.
