Chapter 476 surpasses Juninho and sets a new record for total free kick goals!

The first round of the group stage of each group of the 2020 European Cup has ended, which also means that the next two rounds will become particularly important, especially for the teams that lost in the first round.

Although the top two teams in the group and the best four third-placed teams can all advance to the top 16, they are... afraid of becoming that unlucky team.

The second round of Group A kicked off first, with Turkey losing to Wales 0:2 and Italy 3:0 Switzerland.

Italy, which has won two consecutive games at the beginning, can be said to have qualified from Group A early.

Also qualifying early was Group B Belgium. They came back from behind to defeat Denmark, which had home advantage, 2:1 at the Parken Stadium in Denmark, winning two consecutive group wins.

The Dutch team in Group C defeated Austria 2:0 and also qualified early.

Since the four teams in Group D drew with each other, they failed to advance in advance.

The situation in Group E is almost the same. Slovakia, which won in the first round, lost to Sweden, which drew in the first round, and Spain drew an upset draw with Poland.

让人意外的是瑞典两战1胜1平积4分排名榜首，斯洛伐克1胜1负积3分排名第二，小组两连平的种子选手西班牙竟然排名第三，1平1负积1分的波兰垫底。

Portugal's visit to the Allianz Arena in Munich to challenge the German team will be at 19pm local time on the th.

At around 4 p.m., players from both teams took their respective buses to the competition venue.

The Portuguese bus was naturally greeted with overwhelming boos, and the German fans directly filled the home atmosphere.

Especially towards Martin, the abuse was the loudest.

Regardless of Arsenal at the club level or Portugal at the national team level, Martin has made Bayern's German fans quite unhappy.

As everyone knows, Martin, who is sitting in the bus, is holding back his energy to teach the German team a lesson in the next game.

Since winning the World Cup in Brazil in 2014, the German team has entered a strange situation. There are many football talents and good quality, but the results are getting worse and worse. Therefore, Martin has enough confidence to lead Portugal to defeat Germany at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Team.

Captain Neuer, who was riding the German team bus, was speechless when he heard the abuse directed at Martin from his own fans.

He vaguely remembered facing Wolfsburg and Arsenal where Martin played in these years.

Every fan-favorite team that booed Martin did not fare well...

Gnabry, the Arsenal player who entered the German team's squad, was also dissatisfied with his fans.

It seems like he is giving Martin a blow, but in fact... he is cheating the team...

About an hour before the game, the starting lineups for both sides appeared.

Portugal, under the leadership of Loew, adopted a 3421 formation.

Goalkeeper: Neuer

Defenders: Ginter, Hummels, Rudiger
Midfielder: Kimmich, Gundogan, Kroos, Gosens
Midfielders: Havertz, Muller

Forward: Gnabry

Portugal adopts an aggressive 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Patricio

Defenders: Cancelo, Pepe, Ruben Dias, Semedo
Midfielder: William Carvalho, Martin, B Fee

Forwards: Jota, Cristiano Ronaldo, Seat B

With the appearance of the starting lineups of the two teams, fans around the world who are paying attention to the European Cup also know that the high-profile battle will soon begin.

In terms of excitement, Germany VS Portugal is the most exciting game of this European Cup.

Both teams advocate offense, which cannot be compared with the German team VS France in the first round.

Although they are all crowned with the title of peak duel between world champions, the French team coached by Deschamps likes to defend and counterattack and rarely takes risks.

The goal scored was an own goal by Hummels.

Many well-known football commentators, football experts, and self-media bloggers believe that such a situation will not happen in the German team VS Portugal.

First of all, the German team lost to the French team in the first round. If they lose to Portugal again, they are likely to miss the group stage, which will be very embarrassing.

You must know that the Fighting Nations World Cup two years ago also qualified from the group.

If you fail to advance to the knockout rounds in two consecutive World Series, you will definitely become the laughing stock of the world.

Portugal won in the first round and has a lot of room for maneuver. With Martin and Ronaldo leading the luxurious lineup, the probability of winning is high.

The German team led by Loew must do their best if they want to stand out from Group F.

Of course, a draw is not impossible.

But the possibility of this is very low. Whether you are an opponent of Arsenal or an opponent of Portugal, as long as you lose the momentum to win, losing will happen sooner or later.

Just attacking with all your strength will also have great hidden dangers.

What Bayern encountered in last month's Champions League final may serve as a lesson for the German team.

The German fans continued to boo the Portuguese team bus in order to adjust their mentality through the vent of sound, and at the same time to paralyze and confuse themselves.

The two teams entered the Allianz Arena to warm up, and the auditorium was already filled with more than 80% of fans.

Many players from both sides are old acquaintances, and there was friendly interaction during the pre-match warm-up.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Kroos are Real Madrid teammates, Martin, Leo, Ricardo Pereira and Gnabry are Arsenal teammates...

After a brief exchange with each other, they returned to the team for pre-match warm-ups to prepare for the peak showdown between the world champions in about an hour.

The warm-up content of the stars before the game is also the focus of attention of reporters in the mixed zone and fans in the auditorium.

Martin, in particular, is locked in the public eye.

While the Portuguese players were warming up, the staff of CC5, which has a very good cooperative relationship with UEFA, entered the stadium directly to interview the most dazzling player in the game - Martin.

The CC5 staff member responsible for the interview was naturally He Wei, who had the best personal relationship with Martin.

The fans watching the live broadcast of CCTV 5 were very serious. Looking at Martin in the picture, they couldn't help but raise a faint smile at the corners of their mouths.

Although Martin has long since ceased to be a national of the Dragon Kingdom, it has not changed in their minds.

If we had to argue, we would just vent our unhappiness on the former top brass of the FA.

In the words of current Dragon Country fans, the best Dragon Country Football Association did not appear at the beginning of the emergence of the best Martin.

If the current FA executives were to serve as the previous FA executives, Martin would definitely have represented the U19 youth team and the adult national team of the Dragon Country men's football team in international events early. Where would he have the opportunity to represent Portugal?

However, there is no way to turn back time in this world, and the former top management of the Football Association will always be the object of reviling by Dragon Country fans.

Although the performance of the Dragon Country men's football team will definitely not be invincible compared to that of Portugal, it can at least bring zero breakthroughs to the Dragon Country men's football team in the World Cup...

The interview did not last long, after all, there was still enough time left for Martin to complete his pre-game warm-up.

Many German fans sitting in the auditorium of the Allianz Arena focused on Martin. Looking at his high state, they were full of worries about future games.

The forty-minute warm-up time was over, and players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms through the player tunnel to make final preparations before the start of the game.

Loew was particularly dignified in the home team's locker room, as were the players standing in front of him.

Many players on the team have had many confrontations with Martin. As a teammate, Gnabry has the deepest understanding of Martin's terror.

In addition, Portugal's overall strength is not weak, and it is very difficult to defeat its opponents.

The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was very good. The players were joking with each other and carefully arranging their images in the mirror. Martin and Cristiano Ronaldo were still the two most unattractive players on the team. They kept applying hairspray on their heads until they felt meticulous before nodding with satisfaction.

About ten minutes before the game, the game preparation bell rang in the locker rooms of the home and away teams, and the players from the two teams left their respective locker rooms. The main players stayed in the tunnel, and the substitutes went straight into the stadium.

……

"Beep~"

With the long whistle of the referee Skomina, the focus battle of Group F of the 2020 European Cup officially kicked off at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

The German team, which had the right to kick off the ball, played very patiently and slowly advanced from the center to the back.

The Portuguese team did not play in a hurry and played steadily.

When playing away from home, caution is the way to go.

Since neither team invested too much force in the offense, there were very few shots on goal.

Fans from both sides watched the game without any complaints, but the neutral fans who wanted to see goals became a little impatient. They all pointed out on social platforms that the game should be proactive.

Those who understand the game are too lazy to respond, and only those who don’t understand the game speak based on their own understanding.

The German team had already lost to the French team in the first round, and nothing could be lost in the second round.

Portugal won in the first round and cannot be neglected, otherwise the third round match against the French team is likely to cause accidents due to the influence of mentality.

In order to firmly grasp the initiative in your own hands, the first thing you need to do is not make mistakes.

Especially Loew, following the example of Bayern losing to Arsenal in the Champions League final, his tactics tended to be defensive.

The top two in the group qualify directly, and the best third place in the four groups can also advance. In the last round, Hungary, the weakest team, will not be a problem, so unbeaten in the second round is particularly important.

It's good to win, but at least you can't lose.

It is this mentality that makes German players always adopt a stable defensive strategy.

There were not many shots, but there was no shortage of exciting moments in the game.

The players of both teams have good technical skills with their feet, solid basic skills in passing and receiving, and very smooth cooperation. It is very difficult to change possession of the ball through high defense.

The German team's three-centre-back system is very compact and protects each other well. Portugal's offensive penetration effect is not great.

so...

Apart from not having many shots, the process was quite exciting.

Time passes very quickly in high-level matches. In the blink of an eye, 0 minutes into the first half, the score displayed on the big screen scoreboard is still 0:.

Fans from both sides of the Allianz Arena in Munich cheered very loudly, with huge chants coming one after another.

Against this background, both teams have some ideas.

In the 42nd minute, Martin was about meters away from the goal in the middle and played wonderful ball coordination with B Seat and B Fee. When the German team's defenders were staggered to defend, he suddenly sent a secret diagonal through ball.

The football rolled quickly to the right side of Portugal's attack.

Live guide switching screen.

Fans watching the live broadcast of the game clearly saw Portugal right back Semedo advancing at high speed along the right sideline. There was no defensive player beside him...

Rudiger, who was on the left side of the three central defenders, had to pull out to defend.

During the high-speed running process, Semedo adjusted his steps, and Martin passed the ball directly to the penalty area with a perfect diagonal pass.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Hummels were entangled, and neither of them hit the ball.

The ball was pushed out by Genter who was protecting him. Gundogan, who was guarding the top area of ​​the penalty area, first got stuck in his position, blocked B Fei who came forward and tried to fight for the landing point, and then took off and headed the ball. .

However, Gundogan was disturbed by B Fei behind him, and the angle of the back rub was deviated.

The original plan was to hit the right rear where Cross was, as seen through advance observation, but it ended up hitting the right rear.

"wowowowoooooo——"

The German fans screamed subconsciously in the auditorium.

"Martin!!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray looked at the familiar figure appearing on the broadcast screen and blurted out.

The next moment, the referee Skomina blew his whistle: "Beep~"

In desperation, Havertz pushed down Martin from the side, who was ready to volley directly.

"Haverts' foul was both correct and reckless."

Central 5 commentator He Wei gave an ambiguous comment, and then gave an explanation: "Why do you say that? It is very dangerous for Martin to complete a direct volley without stopping the ball from this position. His volleys and long-range shots hit the target. The rate is very high, but what doesn’t happen is full of uncertainty, and it may or may not go in. That is to say, Havertz’s foul may be worth it, or it may not be worth it, and Martin’s direct free kick scoring rate, we all Got it..."

"The current free-kick master is the best, and he can even be said to be the best free-kick player in world football!"

Commentator Xu Yang said solemnly: "The 24-year-old Martin has scored 77 free kicks in his career, tying the total free kick record set by Juninho. If he can score the goal provided by Havertz, With this free kick, he will break a record again!”

Many fans who watched the live broadcast of the game did not notice this before the game. After hearing the explanations from He Wei and Xu Yang, they were full of expectations.

The on-site commentators/commentators in the remote live broadcast room have obviously done enough homework before the game and know that Martin has tied Juninho in terms of free kick goals. Various praises and expectations are endless.

Loew, who was standing in the home team coach's technical area, pursed his lips, stopped picking his nose, and stood there with solemn eyes.

Goalkeeper Neuer looked even more serious and didn't know what to do.

The location of the foul is about 27 meters away from the goal and about 70 degrees from the left goal post.

In the past, Cristiano Ronaldo would have definitely wanted to take the free kick, but he was able to take it clearly.

Neuer set up a six-man wall, and the on-site director focused a close-up on Martin who had placed the football.

While adjusting the step point, push back a few steps.

"Beep~"

"wuwuwuuwuuu——"

Skomina blew his whistle, and the German fans in the audience made a last-ditch effort to boo Martin, who was taking the free kick.

Martin, who was fully focused, was not affected in any way. He took a three-step approach and stood about 20 centimeters to the left of the football with his left foot. He swung his right foot backwards and touched the ball with the inside of his foot in a slicing manner.

The football shot up from the ground and passed over the German wall, creating an almost perfect arc over the penalty area, like a rainbow across the sky.

Neuer was well prepared. He was guarding the far corner and moved to the near corner of the goal immediately.

But the curved free kick kicked by Martin was not only large in arc, but also fast. Neuer had just jumped out of the air and stretched out his right hand. Before his hand was opened, the football with a strong inward arc hit the top of the left goal. The inner edge of the column made a slight collision sound, and then fell into the net...

"Goooooooooooooooal——"

"The ball is in! It's in!!!!"

"The game is in the 43rd minute! Martin! Wonderful direct free kick!"

"Martin scored the 78th direct free kick of his career. He broke the world football free kick record created by Juninho! At the same time, he also helped Portugal lead the German team 1:0 at the Allianz Arena in Munich!"
