Chapter 572: Interesting facts about the European Cup

The 2012 Euro Cup began on June 6 and ended on July 8, and soon Wang Feng ushered in his commentary debut, in the Group C group match between Italy and Spain.

The game was held at the Gdansk Arena in Poland, which is the third largest stadium in Poland, second only to the Warsaw National Stadium and the Silesian Stadium, and can accommodate about 4 people.

Sitting in the commentary area in the stands to enjoy the game and introduce the game at the same time, this feeling is completely different from other times. Wang Feng's partner is professional commentator Zhang Lu.

"I used to watch you scold Fang Qiu on the field. I never thought that one day I would be able to sit next to me and explain to the audience friends." Zhang Lu said with some excitement. As a domestic football practitioner, there is no one who does not respect China. Superstar's.

"Haha, I think the job of commenting is very interesting. It can bring passion to the fans just like the players competing on the field. Maybe I will try more in the future."

"That's what I wish for. Speaking of the game itself, Wang Feng, you should be very familiar with Spain. How do you predict the final outcome of the two sides?"

"It can be said to be quite familiar. It is almost the combination of Spanish players who played for Real Madrid and Barcelona to form a new lineup. The characteristics of each player are reflected in my mind."

"As for who will win and who will lose, it's really hard to predict. I think Spain will be slightly better."

"Well, we can see that the Spanish coach Del Bosque is playing a four-three-three lineup today, but Silva, Cesc Fabregas and Iniesta play the three midfielders on the front line. What do you think of this? "

"Rather than four-three-three, it's better to say four-six-zero." Wang Feng smiled and continued: "He put forwards Torres and Villa on the bench, and the midfielders moved to create threats in the forward area. "

"This approach is very bold but full of delicate thinking, because the Matador's foundation is pass control and short pass penetration. They pay more attention to running positions and supporting each other, and rarely need traditional forwards to stand up and output."

Zhang Lu nodded: "But there is no official forward in the team, which is a bit too subversive to people's perception of football. Such an unprecedented thing, Bosque dares to directly show it in the competition."

"Actually, we have learned from Barcelona's experience in pass control. Fabregas and Iniesta often rushed to the forward area to handle the ball when they played in the club. As for the effect, it depends on the development of the game."

The game itself was relatively dull. The first half ended 0:0. In the second half, Di Natale received an assist from Pirlo to break the deadlock. Zhang Lu also teased Wang Feng for having a "crow's mouth". The result was Fabregas in less than 5 minutes. A long shot equalized the score.

The dramatic scene appeared in the 53rd minute. The Italian frontcourt made a strong contribution. After cutting Ramos, Balotelli went straight into the penalty area. When he was about to shoot, he suddenly stopped slowly, as if in a state of shutdown. The Spanish defender made up for it Come and clear the ball.

"What is this kid doing, thinking about life?" Zhang Lu couldn't help laughing: "The players on both sides are fighting to kill, but he is walking around the door. I really don't understand."

Wang Feng also sighed helplessly, "Who knows, to be honest, Balotelli's talent is really good, but his golf quotient seems to be unstable." While speaking, he seemed to see that the incompatible player in the Pinetina base The young man was looking at himself adoringly, "What a pity."

During the Inter Milan period, Ribery and his agent Balmond tried to change him, but they all ended in failure. Maybe God gave him enough football talent, but closed the window for him.

The "madman" Mourinho who once took charge of Inter Milan can't handle Bashen, "The story between me and Balotelli can be written in a full 200 pages. This will not be a novel, but a comedy, because this The kid is too fidgety!"

He specifically mentioned the "red card incident". It was a Champions League game, and Inter Milan's strikers were full of injuries. The Portuguese could only hope for Balotelli, but he received a yellow card in the first half.

During the 15-minute intermission, Mourinho spent 14 minutes repeatedly urging: "We really have no one on the front line. I beg you not to have physical contact with your opponent and chase your ball well."

As a result, shortly after the start of the second half, Balotelli deliberately stepped on Noboa and received a second yellow card and was sent off.

"My heart is broken. Maybe those instructions have changed after being passed into his ears? Negatives have become positives? I don't know, this little bastard."

And after this group match, Bashen's legend added another one, that is, what was he thinking when he entered the Spanish penalty area, which caused him to stop and not shoot.

"Maybe it's who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going to go?" Someone commented jokingly.

.........

Wang Feng's commentary was unexpectedly well received by many fans. He analyzed it from a professional perspective while still being interesting. Everyone hoped to talk more.

So the Chinese superstar commented on the quarter-finals of Germany vs. Greece and England vs. Italy respectively. Afterwards, they quit. They took Lu Yao to visit Poland and then returned to Madrid to start pre-season training.

During this period, many anecdotes happened one after another. For example, before the last life-and-death battle between Russia and Greece in Group A, unexpected shots were captured on the big screen at the scene.

Arshavin, who was sitting on the bench, read a book with gusto. It was "Merry-go-round Battle" by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, a book about the life and psychology of urbanites.

No one expected that the invincible Russian "tsar" would read such a book, and still sit in the European Cup stadium where tens of thousands of people roared.

Not only Arshavin, Balotelli also worked overtime during the European Cup to finish watching the seventh part of "Harry Potter", and Iniesta bought a copy of "Guide to Parenting" in Poland, adding to the fierce competition for nothing. A lot of "bookish".

The German team's "catch the ghost" incident also caused a lot of trouble, because the head coach Joachim Loew found that his starting lineup appeared in the German media a few hours in advance.

"I don't know how the team's starting lineup was leaked, maybe some players knew it and revealed it to the media, and then the whole world knew!"

"This kind of pre-match leaking has greatly affected the stability and unity of the team. No matter who it is, I must find him out!" For a while, there was a lot of turmoil in the German team, which was a bit like a spy war drama.

Portuguese leader Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in this European Cup. He is also the darling of the media and cameras. During the life-and-death battle with the Netherlands, sharp-eyed reporters were surprised to find that Cristiano's hair and forehead were puffed up in the first half. It is similar to the "Mohican" hairstyle that Beckham fascinated all beings back then.

But after returning from halftime, Ronaldo changed another hairstyle. He combed the previous crowns one after another, and combed the hair on the forehead to the back in an orderly manner. With eye-catching hairspray, he immediately transformed into a literary youth.

After only 15 minutes of rest, the Portuguese not only had to listen to the coach's tactical arrangements, but also arranged for himself a one-stop service of washing, cutting and blowing, which was really hard work for the image.
