Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

The match between Belgium and Italy was arranged at the Allianz Arena in Munich, which is Bayern's home stadium.

England moved to the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

After watching Switzerland play Spain, the Three Lions packed up and flew to Rome.

I didn't watch the match between Belgium and Italy.

The game was still very exciting.

De Bruyne and Lukaku played against Jorginho and Xuanming.

The two teams had few chances in the first 30 minutes of the first half, but they broke out instantly in the last 15 minutes.

In the 31st minute, Barella scored the first goal, and then in the 35th minute, Barella assisted Insigne to score!

Italy led by 2 goals instantly!

In the first half stoppage time, Doku made a penalty and Lukaku scored in one fell swoop!

1-2!

Belgium scored one point back!

Today, Belgium's forward attack ability was a bit stretched because Hazard was injured and could not play.

Of course, Italy also gave up two players. Pellegrini was injured and Florenzi needed further medical observation.

In the second half, Belgium played 3 forwards and 2 midfielders, but it was useless!

Italy is known for its defense, and the central defender combination of Chiellini and Bonucci is not to be underestimated!

In the end, Italy narrowly advanced!

Their semi-final opponent is Spain!

The next day, before the England-Ukraine battle, the Czech vs. Denmark match started first.

Dane Dolberg opened the scoring, Schick scored to equalize the score, and Delaney almost killed the opponent in the 80th minute!

Dortmund midfielder helped Denmark win the Czech Republic!

In this way, the three semi-final teams are determined!

Soon, the fans shifted their attention from the Baku Olympic Stadium in Azerbaijan to the Rome Olympic Stadium.

The quarter-finals of England vs. Ukraine are about to start!

On the afternoon of the 3rd.

When the bus stopped at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the aisles were full of fans!

Most of them were Three Lions fans!

Some fans called Southgate to come over for a photo, but Southgate didn't seem to see it and walked over with his hands in his pockets.

The fans were a little disappointed.

However, Kane, Chen Chen and others who followed him ran over to take a photo and signed a few autographs for everyone.

In fact, Southgate didn't see it.

His mind was full of the deployment of troops on the court.

The Ukrainian bus arrived at the right time.

In the starting lineup before the game, Yaremchuk, Yarmolenko and Zinchenko, who are well-known to the fans, confirmed the starting lineup!

The head coach, the nuclear warhead Shevchenko, arranged the strongest Ukrainian lineup in his mind!

However, this Ukrainian national team is not the strongest Ukrainian national team in history. Shevchenko was strong in that era.

Of course, let alone Shevchenko's era, this Ukraine is not even as good as Ukraine three years later.

30 million Mudrick, 35 million Sudakov, 32 million Zabarny, 25 million goalkeeper Trubin...

The Ukraine participating in the 2024 European Cup is the strongest Ukraine in the past decade.

Because of the long journey, Southgate made adjustments in several key positions in this game.

The starting striker is Harry Kane who has returned from injury.

The three offensive midfielders are Grealish, Mount and Sancho.

Chen Chen, Sterling and Rashford did not start.

When the starting lineup was first released, English fans really wanted to scold Southgate to death.

Guarding the big daddy? Nanmen, do you want to get out of class?

The public opinion is very loud, and the related topics directly rushed to the regional hot search!

Seeing this, before the game started, in the media mixed area of ​​Rome Olympic, Nanmen responded to this topic.

He said that this was out of protection for the players' physical condition and combat effectiveness.

To put it bluntly, it is physical protection.

Southgate has his own pride.

He believes that there is no problem in beating Ukraine. The team's running-in is very good. If you play seriously, you can win the game.

In addition, Nanmen also talked about the performance of Mount and Grealish in training in the past few days. He said that it is a normal arrangement for Mount and Grealish to start.

Then Foden will say, what about me?

Except for the first game against Croatia, Foden played, and Foden was on standby.

Manchester City fans said on social media that if Foden is not used, then let him come back to participate in the pre-season!

This matter is quite a sensation, after all, Foden has a lot of fans.

When seeing the news, Chen Chen laughed out loud.

Is it possible that the Three Lions version of the nine sons fighting for the throne has begun to show signs from now on?

Fourth brother Foden did not lose face!

Henderson and Kalvin Phillips are the defensive midfielders.

Trippier played as the left back today, and Luke Shaw also took a break.

Maguire and Stones played as the central defenders, and Kyle Walker continued to hold the right side.

The goalkeeper position was replaced by Ramsdale!

Southgate did not mean to be extravagant and leave Pickford alone.

It was because Pickford suddenly felt discomfort in his hands during training. Under the unanimous decision of the coaching staff, for the sake of safety, Pickford was on standby and Ramsdale started!

England, which had made adjustments to the starting lineup, was still very strong, and there were no surprises in the outcome of the game.

No matter how strong Ukraine is, it is still difficult to win against England.

In the end, the Three Lions blossomed in many places and defeated Ukraine 4-0!

Maguire changed his poor performance during Manchester United, and he continued his wonderful performance against Germany in the last round.

In this game, Ma Datou completed 5 clearances and 8 successful long passes!

This is not the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier!

This is 055 with a knife!

Under the defense of Maguire and Stones, Yaremchuk and Yarmolenko did not have many good opportunities, and their ratings were even only 5.6!

Of course, the lowest rating in the Ukrainian team was not them.

But the early defender Karavayev on the right.

Today Shevchenko arranged a 3412 formation.

Karavayev on the right side faced Grealish.

It was okay to defend Grealish, but it was difficult to defend Chen Chen who came on as a substitute!

Chen Chen passed him like crossing the road at 4 o'clock in the morning!

One goal and one assist! Chen Chen continued to play superbly!

However, the MVP of this game was given to Harry Kane, who started and played for 85 minutes.

The captain of Tottenham and the captain of the England national team returned from injury and scored twice!

Chen Chen felt it was a pity that he did not get the MVP. The treasure box that had been upgraded to platinum could not be upgraded to black gold in one go.

However, there are always games, and the system has no time limit, so the black gold treasure chest will come sooner or later.

That being said, Chen Chen still hopes to cash it in as soon as possible.

After all, the game is getting more and more difficult, and one more skill is also a little more protection.

And through this game, Kane's number of goals has reached 5, tied with Chen Chen for the first place in the Golden Boot list!

Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and Czech striker Schick also scored 5 goals.

But Portugal and the Czech Republic have been eliminated, and Kane and Chen Chen still have the possibility of scoring!

After a big victory over Ukraine, England returned to London without stopping.

Next, they will face Denmark!

It is worth noting that after losing to England, the Ukrainian Football Association announced that Shevchenko's term will end at the end of this contract, and Ukraine will not renew the contract with this Eastern European legendary player!

Shevchenko's head coach career will come to an end for the time being.
