legendary player [football]

The 36 games of the European Cup group stage have all been settled. Of the 24 teams, two-thirds advanced and one-third went home.In other words, it is more difficult to be eliminated than to qualify.This has always been a spectacle after the restructuring of UEFA. It is said that the next breakthrough of UEFA will make the teams of all member countries break their glasses. The European Cup in 2020 will be held in 12 cities in 13 countries. It is the rhythm that will exhaust players and fans to death.

After the expansion of the European Cup, there is another thing that makes the audience and the team feel very bad. It has a huge impact on the group stage. It is as strong as the German team's various crushing opponents, but it is also very "bored" in the group stage. The addition of multiple teams has reduced the gold content of the group stage, and the level is uneven.Since the third place in the group also has a chance to qualify, many teams would rather stick to a tie or lose less to the opponent's goal difference than take the initiative to attack.This makes strong teams exhaust their patience or underestimate their opponents when they face low-level teams in the group stage. The most typical example is the Portuguese team. As the first team in the group, it almost failed to qualify for the group.

And this strange phenomenon in the group stage has created several dark horses such as Iceland and Wales, because their "spoiler" seriously disrupted the distribution of the upper and lower halves.In the division of the round of 16 knockout rounds, the strength of the teams in the upper half and the lower half are completely at two different levels.

With the production of 16 advanced teams, fans around the world began to discuss the situation of the knockout divisions and even the final championship.Some people think that the divisions of the 18 finals of this European Cup are too polarized. One half of the region is full of strong teams, while the other half of the region has mediocre teams. The strength of the two half regions is very different and very unbalanced.

Top half: Switzerland vs Poland, Wales vs Northern Ireland, Croatia vs Portugal, Hungary vs Belgium.Bottom half: France vs Ireland, Germany vs Slovakia, Italy vs Spain, England vs Iceland.

Many well-known commentators in European football have made a detailed analysis of this division from various aspects through their own columns or TV programs.From the perspective of the number of championships won, the teams in the upper half have not won a single international A-level championship, while the teams in the lower half have won 11 World Cup championships and 9 European Cup championships.

Many people are commenting that the French team has already paved the way for themselves to advance to the final. Whether it is the schedule, or the setting of the city and the stadium, the game schedule is reasonable, and the venues are almost all near Paris, or Marseille, Lyon Such a big city.People ridicule the hosts for trying their best, because the right time, place and people are indispensable, and they take up all the good things.But people are not as good as heaven, almost all senior commentators said that the French team was clever and was mistaken this time. Judging from the current division, the French team may encounter England in the quarter-finals, and the opponent in the semi-finals is undoubtedly Spawned between Spain, Germany and Italy.

Isn't this nonsense, which host didn't try to facilitate themselves in the right time, place and people in the past European Cups, all the hosts will hardly encounter any strong teams before the semi-finals.If the host country does not even have this advantage, who would spend money and money to bid for the Olympic host country to double the number of gold medals?

Deschamps actually doesn't care about these things. These are things that Platini, UEFA president and vice president of the Football Association, should worry about.In fact, he is still complaining to the Football Association that the turf conditions of the European Cup venues are not good due to too many non-football activities.

Deschamps didn't have a special message about Leo's night out. In fact, he wasn't the only one who didn't come back that night.

The opponent in the round of 16 is Ireland, and it can be regarded as a rare underdog in the lower half where strong teams gather.Training was relatively easy because of the long intervals between games.Portugal has played two games since Leo met his man.

On the day before the game against Ireland, Leo took time out of training to watch the game in front of the TV.Although he was relieved by the result of the game, the process was so unflattering that he rarely fell asleep while watching the game.

The Croatian, Portuguese and even Real Madrid fans who were waiting in front of the TV thought that Modric, Ronaldo and Pepe's club teammates were their masters on the field, and Barcelona midfielder Rakitic must Will put on a good show, but this is the most boring game ever played in a European Championship.

90分钟的常规比赛加上30分钟的加时赛，120分钟的比赛两队加起来射正次数仅为2次，及117分钟c罗的射门被封堵和紧接着夸雷斯马的头球补射绝杀。

After the game, the magic flute couldn't hide the sad tears, and the fans' hearts were broken when they saw the small appearance that was about to cry. The president hurried over and hugged him into his arms to comfort him.

Croatia is one of the representatives of the European elegant football technical genre, and it is also the most stable team in Europe in the past 20 years outside of the traditional giants. The fate of lore.Most of the time, football is such an interesting sport. The first place in the group, the undefeated record, and the hard work of the favorites to win the championship can't match the little bit of luck after all.

When talking on the phone with his boyfriend, Leo not only congratulated Portugal for successfully qualifying, but also bluntly expressed his views on the game: "I almost cried watching this game."

The president who won the game was in a good mood: "Are you worried about me?"

"It's too ugly. This is the most boring game I have ever seen, bar none."

"So what? In the end we won, right? That's the key. My goal is to win the game, and I don't care about other insignificant things."

These words are too magical, this person is such a character who does not want to admit defeat, even if it is a practice match within the team, he must win.

"To be fair, Croatia's performance is better than yours, especially Luka. He is really an admirable midfielder. This result is not fair to him."

The president didn't take it seriously: "In a game, there is always a winner or loser, and the factor that determines the winner is not only strength, but also luck, or luck is also a part of strength. I have a hunch that we will definitely win the championship this time."

Leo didn't know where his inexplicable premonition came from, but he didn't want to spoil his interest, so he said in a humorous tone: "You still have 3 games away from the championship, and I will try to be the biggest on your way to the championship." Obstacles, because my goal is also to be a champion."

"Hey, how do I remember that my little guy is a person who has a calm mind, doesn't care about winning or losing, and never pays attention to success or failure."

Leo said in surprise: "Do you have any misunderstanding about me? I don't worry about the final result. It doesn't mean that I don't want to win. Many times when I think that I have tried my best but the result is not satisfactory, I don't regret it."

"How can you say such a thing, shouldn't this be the perception of a person of your father's age?"

Compared with Ronaldo's single-minded pursuit of victory, this is a different state of mind. It has something to do with age, but it is ultimately related to a person's personality. Ronaldo will never be able to forget the outcome, and Leo never thinks that winning is all about a game.They can never be each other, but appreciate each other.

The game against Ireland was not as smooth as expected. Leo was once again placed in the starting position by Didier Deschamps, with Griezmann and Giroud as strikers, because Matuidi suffered a little light in the game against Switzerland. Injured, Payette retreated to the midfield position, behind him Pogba and Kanter formed a double midfielder.

巧合的是，这一场18决赛的比赛场地正是一周前葡萄牙3比3逼平匈牙利的里昂灯光球场。雷欧在赛前训练的时候就总是想起葡萄牙3次落后3次扳平的场景，想起c罗彼时在场上是一种怎样的心情。

When he came out of the dressing room, Deschamps patted him on the shoulder and said to him "behave well".The look on his face that he could barely call a smile didn't look easy.

Deschamps' employment has always been the most criticized by critics and fans. He is nepotism, and his godson's amateur player level can always be called up by the national team. And his own performance in the first two games was not good. The outside world frequently questioned him. It can be seen that Deschamps insisted on letting him start, and there must be a lot of pressure behind him.

Even without the phrase "perform well", Leo will definitely fight until the last second, and no one dares to take it lightly in the knockout round.But things are often more complicated than expected. Before everyone can enter the state within 1 minute of the opening, the host sent a big gift to the guests who came from afar.

Ireland kicked off the ball first, and the ball was successfully sent into the penalty area of ​​the French team after a few overturns. At the critical moment, Rami slipped and fell in front of his own goal.The Irish player Shane Long turned around after taking the ball and really wanted to shoot, but the replay of Pogba knocked him to the ground from behind.

After a brief exchange with the linesman, the referee Rizzoli from Italy decisively pointed his finger at the penalty spot.

Although Leo stood near the midfield, his vision has always been wide, so he can see every detail clearly. Pogba wanted to retract his leg before he touched Shane Lang, but his The height was there, the inertia was too great, and the control of the muscles was not enough, directly knocking the person to the ground.He didn't make a penalty on purpose, but the ball was uncontroversial.

The fault of this ball is not Pogba, but in Lamy, his stroke directly led to a series of mistakes by the French team's defense.

But in Leo's view, Pogba's talent and physical condition are unquestionable, and he is worthy of the sky-high price Manchester United offered him. Last year, he was the best 11 player in FIFA, and he was the only player elected in Serie A.But what Leo couldn't accept very much was his casualness on the court.In many cases, without the sloppy processing of the brain, it is not that there is no good consciousness and golf quotient, but that there is no thinking at all. This attitude itself makes people angry and wastes one's excellent talent in vain.

It couldn't have been a better start for the hosts, who were one goal behind as soon as they came on to the ovations of the crowd.Players on the field, you look at me, I look at him, everyone is unhappy, but that person is Pogba, what else can you say
