The Young Lion

Chapter 1006: Subversion kicked off

Portugal itself is a small country on the fringes of Europe, so it is normal for not many magnificent and large-scale stadiums. If it is not the European Cup, several stadiums have been expanded and renovated. "Come and go".

Braga is also one of the cities hosting the European Cup. The capacity of the Braga Municipal Stadium is only 30,000 shabby, and the fans will look warm when they are full.

In a casual outfit, Audridge sat on the court with his daughter Bonnie to watch the game, accompanied by Ewen and his two sons.

He came very low-key, and was only captured by the live broadcast at the beginning of the game, causing speculation and ridicule by the speaker.

"England national team coach Sir Hall actually came to watch the Bulgarian and Danish games? Is he using this pastime to pass the holiday? Yesterday he just led the team to defeat the Swiss team of the same group 4:0, The England team’s early qualifying eased the pressure on his shoulders a lot. But should he watch other games? If someone vowed to say that Sir Hall came to investigate the opponent on the spot, then this must be an order People sneer at jokes! Maybe, just relax."

Of course, it’s not an investigation of opponents. He went to watch the Brazilian game two years ago. After winning the World Cup, he was regarded as the finishing touch in his work. The outside world does not know that if it weren’t for Earl who wanted to watch Ronaldinho’s performance, he would definitely not appear in the stands of the game between Brazil and China.

Today is to relax, change my mood, and also come to the scene to give some old friends some support and comfort.

When the game between Bulgaria and Denmark reached the 23rd minute, something changed on the court. The Danish sideman Maro Medal was forced to end with a muscle strain. A Danish player stood on the sidelines waiting for the bench to come off the bench.

At this time, the Danish fans on the scene broke out unusually cheering.

Aldridge put Bonnie in the seat next to him. He stood up, and Ewen stood beside him. With the continuous applause and cheers from Danish fans, Aldridge always applauded with solemn expression.

"Romedal came off due to injury! Glennchard, who should have been the starter of the Danish team, debuted. He missed the first round of the game. Today he was also placed on the bench by the head coach, not because of competitive reasons, but in Europe. Before the Cup was unveiled, Glennshire’s mother died unexpectedly, and he immediately returned to the country to mourn for his mother. The Danish team understood this unexpected situation and originally decided to give Glenchard more leave for a few days, but Glennshire returned quickly. Arriving on the team and contributing his energy to his motherland, Danish fans are supporting Glennshire with applause and cheers. At the same time, we can now understand why the English national team coach Sir Hall appeared here, he must come to support Glennshire’s, they have established a deep mentorship in Millwall. We may find it difficult to find Glennshire’s figure in Millwall’s glorious historical freeze screen, but Sir Hall knows a team well It is not entirely possible to rely on the eleven main players. Glennshire’s contribution to Millwall may not be seen by many people, but it must be buried deep in the heart of Sir Hall."

There are a lot of English fans coming to Portugal to watch the game. After all, England is a big winner, and there are naturally Millwall fans.

Club support attribution and national team support attribution Although there are sometimes conflicts, but it is not too big, just like most Argentine national team die hard fans, it is difficult to become a fan of a club in England, of course, non-Argentine also In other words, this is why the conflict is not big.

So in the stands of the Braga Municipal Stadium, there were also a lot of crazy lion fans sitting together. At this moment, they pulled out a small banner with white text on black and a sentence written on it.

"Your mother is watching you in heaven and facing the future firmly! We will always support you!"

It's impossible for Glenshire to focus on the game too much to pay attention to the scene on the stands. He is like a brave fighter, who is fully absorbed in the game after playing.

The well-known Glennshire is now very mature, and the 27-year-old Danish is explosive, using excellent dribbling and breakthrough technology to create trouble for the Bulgarian defense line.

In this era of football exaggeration, Aldridge's reason will accept everything, but the strong emotional impact will inevitably make people feel a lot of hearts.

Some people take a look at one less.

Some people have changed from familiar to strange.

Some people will always come to mind when you are in touch.

Too many people start to forget what is loyalty, what is faith, what is dedication, what is collective.

...

At 90 minutes, the score was 1:0 and the Danish team led.

At this moment, after 23 minutes of playing, the outstanding Glenn Charles scored the ball on the left side of the frontcourt. He dribble inwardly and made a tacit two-on-one with Thomason. In the hinterland of the penalty area, the right foot pushed the far corner of the goal to succeed!

The Danish team locked the victory!

After scoring, Glenn Carr ran to the side of the court and frantically roared towards the camera. Obviously, he was giving this goal to his mother.

Aldridge was also excited in the stands to applaud the outstanding performance of Glenn Charles!

After the game ended, the smoke disappeared, and when leaving the field, the live camera captured Glennshire's wet eyes and tears.

As the fans retired, Aldridge did not rush to leave, he informed the Danish team through the stadium staff, hoping to meet with Glenchard for a brief recount.

This is not a rude request, and Aldridge will not delay the fatigue of the Danish team after the game to resume work.

At the end of the hallway outside the locker room, Aldridge stood here, and Glennshire changed his clothes. When the two met again, they didn’t say a word. Aldridge embraced Glennhall, gently Slapping his back to show comfort.

They have met several times over the years, and they also have text messages and telephone exchanges.

But perhaps, the picture remembered in each other's hearts was the rainy evening in Dunlun, the moment when Glenn Carr drove away from the house of Aldridge, and Aldridge stood outside the garage and stared at it for a long time.

The reunion was not thrilled and excited. A few words of concern and greetings. When Aldridge left, Glennshire's eyes were wet again.

...

Aldridge embarked on the road to Lisbon, the England group stage finals will be played in Lisbon, and they locked the group top, knockout, their game will also be played in Lisbon, just change the stadium, at least in the future For 8 days, the England team will stay in Lisbon, which is a good strategic environment.

In Group C, another focus battle was played later.

Ibrahimovic became the focal point of the match between Sweden and Italy. He made a scorpion's tail swing and made Italy miss three points.

After the score of 1:1 was born, the team's big hit Italian team also hung up!

Because according to the rules of the game, Sweden and Denmark with 4 points together, as long as the Nordic brothers scored 2:2 in the last game, then Italy won 10 goals and 100 goals in Bulgaria in the last game. use!

At that time, the three teams will have 5 points and Italy will return home.

Will this happen?

The outside world is discussing that many bookmakers directly seal the score of 2:2 and do not allow players to bet.

...

The European Cup feast is full of different beings. The two rounds of the second round of Group D interpret the two extremes of this competition.

Latvia is a fish-belly force in the eyes of European powerhouses, so it is normal for them to come to the European Cup to intensively defend.

The first match against the Czech Republic fell short of success, and ultimately failed to withstand the strong firepower of the Czech team.

The second match with the German team caused the World Cup runner-up to overturn.

The problem of the German team's failure to meet the talent gap in recent years is not just as simple as showing its signs, it is a terrible record.

In terms of intensive defense, the German team lacks both finesse and impact. The world-famous German spirit has also begun to change from the conflict between the players of the two teams pinching their necks in the fifth minute of the game.

At 0:0 in the 90th minute, the prospects of the German team in the death group suddenly dim.

In contrast, the game between the Netherlands and the Czech team is an absolute classic since the start of this competition!

The two teams played offensive football, but the Netherlands team led by two goals but was reversed by the Czech team three goals!

An interesting phenomenon occurred in the player ratings after the game.

Sky Sports scored the game between the Netherlands and the Czech team. The Dutch team generally got a high score. If the average score is used, the average score of the Dutch team is higher than that of the Czech team. However, one of the Czech team got a perfect score of 10 points. Evaluation, the only 10 points in the audience, the Czech team's Nedved!

The death group won in two games. After the England team, the Czech team became the second team to enter the knockout. At the same time, a shocking battle against the Netherlands made the Czech team's championship popularity index rapidly rise!

...

England returned to Lisbon in the hotel they stayed in before. The Football Association is also quite proud this time. During the group stage, they chose the hotel in Lisbon for a long period of time. Now they have determined to advance to the top 8. They have extended the package. time.

On June 21, Aldridge attended the pre-match press conference. The England team is not the focus today. The Croatian team is the French team. The England team has made the qualifying ahead of time. And don’t mind being left out. During the competition, the calmer he is, the more satisfied he is.

On this day, the final battle of Group A kicked off.

The situation is slightly subtle.

Spain has 4 points, Greece 4 points and Portugal 3 points. Russia has packed up and returned home after the last game.

Spain vs Portugal.

Russia vs Greece.

Since the points are the same, the win-loss relationship will be compared first.

Therefore, Portugal must win to qualify, even if the host draws with Spain and Greece loses, Portugal will lose the top 8 qualification at home, because they share the same score with Greece, but lost to Greece in the opener.

As long as Greece and Spain don't lose, they can make sure they advance to the quarterfinals.

The two teams started at the same time. In less than 20 minutes, Russia led Greece by two goals, and Greece recovered one goal before the end of the first half.

Portugal's goal in the first half of the second half turned the situation upside down in this group!

Before the match, Portugal, which was third in the group, jumped to first, while Spain was completely panicked.

Because Greece is also lagging behind.

The scores of the two teams are the same at this time. The record of the two sides is 1:1. The goal difference is also the same. However, the king of the qualifiers, Spain, which has scored so many goals, actually has two fewer goals than Greece!

When the 90-minute battle between the two games came to the end, there were no goals since Gomez's goal of breaking through the Spanish gate.

The Spanish team is shocked out!

Host Portugal reversed to advance to the top 8!

Spain has been completely labeled as "fashionable". The national team's tactical change and style change are also like Germany's reincarnation. The advantage of the matadors over the Germans is that they do not need to wait for a long period of time like the German team to train talents. , Their failure is not due to the withering of talent, but they are only gorgeous, but did not shake the core philosophy of football.

The Greek team completed a historic breakthrough and reached the quarterfinals of the European Cup!

And waiting for them in the quarter-finals, will be the Shinco World Cup champion, the Three Lions England!

In the European Cup in 2004, since the fifth day of the tournament, Russia was defeated by Portugal to pack up and prepare to go home. On the ninth day, Spain also returned home. A mainstream strong team has bid farewell to the European Cup!

And this is just the beginning of the disruptive process of the current European Cup.
