Chapter 447 The fabulous European Championships

?

He and Jun Ji-hyun didn't stay in Korea for too long, and soon the two 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 final, but now it is different. Too many players from Notts County will appear on the field of this European Championship. David You can't favor one over the other, every player is his heart and soul, and David hopes to see them perform well.

For the players, being teammates at the club but becoming rivals in the national team is not a great feeling.

So even though David came to Portugal, he didn't have much contact with the players, so let the players prepare for the game wholeheartedly.

For this European Championship, David was very impressed in his previous life, because there were too many classics and too many topics in this European Championship. Of course, the most memorable one is the myth of the dark horse, the Greek Reaching the top is like Notts County winning the English League, so magical.

In the opening game, the Greek team led by the great Emperor Rehhagel slaughtered the host, the golden generation of Portugal, with a dark horse attitude, which also cast a shadow over the host's road to winning the championship.

There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, Portugal has underestimated the enemy. On the other hand, the defense of the Greek team is indeed first-class. At the foot of a civilian team.

After the game, David texted to comfort Deco and Carvalho. This competition is Portugal's best chance to win the championship. The swing of these two players is also crucial for Portugal.

There are three games in the group, and the outcome of a game cannot determine too many results. With Portugal's strength, as long as they can face up to their opponents, there will be no problem in qualifying. It will not be like the Portuguese media whine, it seems that qualifying has become a big team. The problem, in their opinion, the strength of the sworn enemy Spain is also very strong, Portugal really has no certainty of defeating Spain.

After the opening game, the European Championships also officially kicked off. One exciting game after another was presented in front of the fans. This is a feast of football.

There is no doubt that the most interesting star of this European Championship is Rooney. He scored four goals in three group matches, which is simply a miracle. You must know that this summer he was only in his early 17s.

Of course, if Rooney is changed to another country, perhaps his achievements will be higher. Every competition in England is called the favorite to win the championship, 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 full of fire. In fact, he also wants to bring Rooney to Notts County.

Even if some people say that Rooney is the peak of his career directly from his debut,

But 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 three rounds of group matches, some people were happy and some were sad. The team that missed the quarter-finals was sadly out, and the teams that entered the quarter-finals had to move forward 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 they won two consecutive draws. Although they defeated Bulgaria in the third group match, it was because of the 2:2 between the Nordic brothers Sweden and Denmark. In the 2 draw, Italy can only go home, even if the whole world is scolding Sweden and Denmark for playing match-fixing, but so what, the result cannot be changed.

Although Di Natale has entered the Italian national team, he has no status in the club in the national team. He played off the bench in the three group matches. The responsibility for elimination has nothing to do with him, but David went to comfort him. Even after he left, the friendship was still there.

Of course, it is not just Di Natale that David needs consolation. Spain and Germany both came back from the group stage, and these two national teams are both big international players in Notts County.

Even if he won the European Golden Boot, Villa is still only the younger brother of the captain and spiritual leader Raul in the national team. In the selection of striker partners, Raul will definitely occupy a position, and Billy, who is somewhat similar to Raul, has a similar style. Ya naturally can't compete with Morientes. After all, the tactical center type Morientes can provide the team with more tactical changes. In the three games, Villa was only on the bench. Even in the game against Greece, Billy Ya scored a goal to tie the opponent, but his first national team competition ended.

As for Iniesta, Alonso and Diego Lopez, sadly they didn't even get the chance to play. This European Cup is definitely a disappointment for them.

In the German team, this is the period when seniority is the most important. Even if Westerman has the strength, he can only sit on the bench and watch the game. If there is no good candidate for the right back position, I am afraid Ram No chance at all.

It is not a bad thing that Germany is out of the game. It is precisely because of the failure of this European Championship that it has also promoted the rise of Germany's youth training, and it has also made the most fundamental contribution to Germany's subsequent stability as one of the world's top teams.

Although David couldn't bear to see the disappointment of the players, but the national team went home early, and the players could get more rest, which was very beneficial for Notts County's preparations for the new season.

In the next knockout rounds, all the national teams also used their housekeeping skills one after another. 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 steel defense. Even if the attack line led by Zidane was completely frozen, there was no way to escape the fate of the rise of the myth. In this game, Ribery was not as amazing as before because of the extremely compressed space, but his first competition still left a deep impression on people, and France seems to have found Zidane's successor. .

Sweden and the Netherlands have also been in a penalty shootout, and the Netherlands advanced. In fact, the Netherlands made countless murderous attempts in the game. Robben performed particularly well. His breakthrough and the Swedish defense line surrendered several times. The power of opportunity is too strong, and no one can save it.

In the next semi-final, hosts Portugal and the Netherlands met.

What no one thought was that the key to the outcome of this game was the players from Notts County. All three goals in this game were scored by Notts County players. 8
