In the past half month, Jin Yuan has indeed spent a lot of money, but to him, there is nothing more worthwhile than spending money on things he likes. This period of time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Ou The tournament has reached the official group stage, and Jin Yuan also took some time off from his busy schedule to spend his free time watching football.
In this European Championship, the three biggest favorites are Germany, Spain and Belgium. These three countries are also the teams that major betting companies are most optimistic about, followed by the Netherlands, Italy, France, England and Portugal. This year The odds of Belgium being so high have surprised many fans. However, this year's Belgium is said to have ushered in the best Belgium in history, even more so the European Red Devils. Maybe Belgium's championship is just around the corner, but the biggest The favorite is still Germany. Germany is at the stage where its little monsters have grown up and its superstars have reached their peak. It is the biggest favorite to win the championship. In Spain, all its little monsters have also matured and are ready to compete on the stage of the European Cup. One of the favorites to win the championship.
Secondly, the Netherlands, Italy, and France are the second favorites to win the championship. The Netherlands' advantage lies in the midfield, Italy's defense is as always, France's lineup is relatively average, and with the host's advantage, these three teams need to maximize themselves Only by having the advantage can they win the championship, followed by England and Portugal. England, as always, will not settle down if it is too high or too low. However, Portugal lacks a certain competitiveness after Cristiano Ronaldo gets older and older. Basically, it is to maintain The rhythm of eight versus four.
By the time Jin Yuan had time to calmly watch a European Cup game, the first round of the group stage was over. The eight giants Italy and Portugal who won the championship unexpectedly lost to their opponents. Italy lost to Croatia 1:2. Portugal lost to Switzerland 0:1, while the Netherlands and Belgium received a draw each. The opponents of both sides were Russia and Sweden, and the other four giants won the victory. The second game Jin Yuan watched was a focus game, the Netherlands vs. England.
This game is very important for the Dutch team. Although they did not lose in the first game, Russia is also a very competitive qualifying opponent. The Netherlands must score points against England to have any hope of qualifying.
The Netherlands¡¯ lineup for this game. Jin Yuan has many acquaintances, including center Robin van Persie, Lens and Ola John on the wings, midfielder Strotman, Krasi and Adam Maher, and defense linebackers Van der Veer, Indy, Devery, and Bu Linde. Goalkeeper Krul, among them, Robin van Persie, Strotmann. Van der Wiel, Blind, as well as Van Rijn on the bench, Sim De Jong and others are all old friends of Jin Yuan. In the England team, Jin Yuan also has many familiar people, such as starting winger Theo Walcott. Chamberlain, midfielder Wilshere, Gibbs on the bench and others were all friends of Jin Yuan during his time at Arsenal.
Of course, Jin Yuan has been paying attention to the current situation of these old friends. Although Van Persie can no longer play in the starting lineup at Arsenal due to his age, he is still an important part of the team. He has played 21 times in the league this season. Scored ten goals and ten assists, which is also a good answer, and Strotman became the third captain of Arsenal. Together with Wilshere and Ramsey, he was the midfielder at Arsenal. The absolute main force, Van der Wiel is Wenger's first choice right back, Van Rijn is currently playing for the Premier League powerhouse Swansea City and is the absolute main right back, Sim De Jong is still at Schalke 04 and is known as Schalke Muller's technical characteristics are also somewhat similar.
As for Walcott and Chamberlain, Walcott has been rumored to be transferring this season, but he still performed well at Arsenal and contributed greatly to Arsenal's third place in the league. Wilshere is Arsenal's third player. The vice-captain, as mentioned before, formed Arsenal's midfield triangle with Stroman and Ramsey. Chamberlain is also the main force on the other side of Arsenal, and Griezmann, whom Wenger introduced at a large price, Competition for jobs, now it seems that Chamberlain's performance is better than that of the Frenchman, while Gibbs is still playing rotation at Arsenal. His performance is not seeking no merit but no fault, so it's just so-so.
In this game, the three Dutch midfielders suppressed the English midfielder very well. Although the English midfielder had four players, Rodwell, Wilshere, Chamberlain and Walcott were all in the middle. However, the Netherlands' midfield attack and defense are reasonable. Strotmann and Krasi's interception ability is as good as their organizational ability. Maher is responsible for organizing the offense from the front. The ball control cooperation between the three is very good. Coupled with the retracement assistance of Olajohn and Lens, the Netherlands suppressed the midfield very well.
In the 39th minute, the Netherlands finally scored in the midfield. Strotman intercepted the ball from teammate Walcott and passed it directly to the nearest Maher. This man originally had Moroccan nationality but finally decided to Maher, who played for the Netherlands, used his skillful foot skills to get rid of Rodwell and made a through ball. The ball was transferred to Ola John's feet.
This player plays for the Bundesliga??Workusen's Dutch international rushed through the half-court like a tank and rushed to the penalty area in an instant. Ola John passed the ball decisively, and Robin van Persie, who came after him, finished the ball in one go and locked the ball in England with a beautiful shot. The upper right corner of!
"Van Persie!! This is the 53rd goal scored by Van Persie, who is about to turn thirty-three years old, in his 103rd game! Van Wolfswinkel, the starting striker in the last game, scored in the 80th minute Two excellent opportunities were wasted. It was obvious that Van Gaal lost confidence in the Norwich forward. Van Persie, who returned to the starting lineup, scored immediately! He refreshed his own record! The latecomers of the Netherlands, their goal has been challenged It went up to fifty-three goals!¡±
After the goal passed, in the 65th minute, the England team pulled one back. Rodwell fired from a long distance to pull back one, but Rodwell did not make the English fans happy for long. In the 73rd minute, the substitute The Dutch midfielder who came on the field, 21-year-old midfielder Toni Villena, who played for Feyenoord, responded to Strotmann's through ball and single-handedly broke the goal guarded by Joe Hart, 2:1!
However, at the last moment of the game, center back De Vrij, who moved to AC Milan last season, committed a tactical foul and received a red card. Van Gaal replaced Robin van Persie, who scored the goal in the game, and replaced him with Manchester City center back Reccoki. , England used the advantage of one more man to attack wildly, but the Dutch defense was very solid and withstood England's attack.
The final score of the game was fixed at 2:1, and the Netherlands achieved its first victory in the European Cup.
Jin Yuan took out his cell phone and sent a congratulatory text message to his friends in victory. I also sent a consoling text message to my friends who lost. Jin Yuan and his father watched this game together. It has been a long time since the two of them drank beer and watched the game together. Of course, Jin Dongmin felt sorry for Jin. The teams where Yuan is located are all very supportive. Regarding the national team, Jin Dongmin¡¯s favorite team is the Dutch team, so Jin Dongmin is very happy about the victory in this game.
After this game is over. Jin Yuan watched another game between the host country France and Poland. This game was a direct dialogue between Real Madrid's two top strikers Benzema and Lewandowski. Benzema was the sole player for the French team in the first game. After scoring two goals, France beat Ireland 4:0, while Poland drew 1:1 with the Czech Republic in the first game. Lewandowski provided a header assist. However, considering the gap in strength between the two teams. Jin Yuan is still relatively optimistic that Benzema's France can win.
In the French team, in addition to Benzema, there is Giroud, and Koscielny is also a former friend of Jin Yuan. However, in this game, including Koscielny and Giroud, they sat on the bench and failed to get a chance to start. It was Poland's goalkeeper and Arsenal's starting goalkeeper Szczesny who got the chance to start.
In addition to these friends, Jin Yuan also pays close attention to another player. It is the substitute that Arsenal bought for themselves, the talented French winger Griezmann. He did not adapt well to the atmosphere of the Premier League at Arsenal. Although he occasionally showed flashes, strictly speaking he failed to achieve a worth of 20 million pounds. , On the other hand, Griezmann performed well in the French team, scoring two goals and four assists in eight games in the European Cup qualifiers. Jin Yuan wanted to see how good his substitute was.
In the 19th minute, Griezmann took the ball and faced Dortmund full-back Piszczek. Griezmann used his excellent explosive power to get past Piszczek and then took the ball and passed the ball low. Benze in the penalty area Ma's low shot was blocked by Szczesny's hands. Griezmann shrewdly appeared in the position where Szczesny blocked the ball and hit the side netting with a shot.
He has strong explosive power, good shooting feeling, and is relatively calm when handling the ball. This is Jin Yuan¡¯s impression of Griezmann after watching the game. It can be said that Griezmann is very reasonable as his substitute, but Griezmann Man's weakness is his physical fitness. Jin Yuan has played in the Premier League and La Liga. It is obvious that the pace of La Liga is slow. This is why Griezmann performed better at Real Sociedad than at Arsenal.
Why can¡¯t you play well at Arsenal? Jin Yuan sighed. Although he has left Arsenal for a year now, he still has feelings for Arsenal where he has played for four years. Of course, he also hopes that the players on the team will perform better, especially those who use their own The players bought with the money exchanged, after Arsenal sold Jin Yuan, in addition to buying Griezmann, they also bought Greek defender Papadopoulos, who actually became Arsenal's main defender. Papa's transfer fee is 17 million pounds, which is not as high as Griezmann, but now it seems that buying Papa is more worthwhile than buying Griezmann.
In this game, the French team opened the scoring with another pass from Griezmann, Ben Arfa. France led Poland 1:0. This was the 63rd minute of the game. Subsequently, midfielder Marvin Martin extended the goal. However, in the last 20 minutes of the game, Lewandowski suddenly showed his power and scored twice to make the score 2:2. At this time, Arsenal winger Griezmann's shining moment Finally arrived, September?In the countdown of three minutes of stoppage time, Griezmann received an overhead kick from Benzema and scored a solo goal. Facing his club teammate Szczesny, Griezmann was very calm during the solo effort and pushed the ball in. Hitting the lower left corner of the goal, France completed the victory! At the same time, the host France also became the first team to advance to the knockout stage!
After watching these two games, Jin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, his teammates were fighting for their national honor on the field, while he could only return from a meaningless warm-up match. The family was sitting in front of the TV watching the European Cup. Although they had fought hard for the Asian Cup some time ago and achieved great results for China, Jin Yuan always felt that something was missing.
However, since God¡¯s will is to make him a Chinese, Jin Yuan cannot disobey God. All he has to do is to do his best. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
