The French team watched the live broadcast of the match between Germany and Italy collectively this time, without the lax freedom they had when they watched the video last time, and everyone sat upright as if they were facing a big enemy.Even Giroud, who is usually hippie and smiling, and Pogba, who is singing and dancing, look extraordinarily serious.

On the contrary, Leo, who was never late for training or meetings, disappeared today.When he got up in the morning, he felt very bad, tired and with a splitting headache.Almost by perseverance, I persisted in the one-hour training in the morning.The team doctor noticed his abnormality, took him to the treatment room, took his temperature and blood.

Deschamps was worried, and followed to see the situation.The team doctor looked at the thermometer and looked through the blood routine report. He concluded that he had a cold, but he didn't have a fever at all. It must have been rained during the match yesterday.

Leo frowned, a little puzzled: "I have always been in good health, and I have been taking vitamins for a long time. I only played half of the game yesterday, why did I catch a cold?"

The team doctor shrugged: "That's not good. It's normal to catch a cold. There may be so many people in the stadium not only because of the rain, but also because they may be infected with the flu virus. The better the physique, the more severe the symptoms of the cold."

This is a matter of probability. Good health does not mean that you are completely insulated from injuries.I can only blame him for being unlucky, the whole team was in the rain, and even Deschamps was standing outside the canopy the whole time, why did he catch a cold

The team doctor made an exception and gave him antibiotics, and then prescribed medicine and told him to go back to his room and take a good rest.Deschamps kept a gloomy face and said nothing the whole time.The two of them opened their mouths when they were walking towards the castle: "You don't need to play in the semi-finals, take a good rest, recover from your illness and prepare for the finals."

Leo paused: "There are still five days before the next game. The team doctor said that my cold is not serious, and I should recover by then."

"Based on our experience, usually players need to rest for at least a week when they have a cold."

Leo thought: "Your experience doesn't apply to me." But he couldn't tell Deschamps.Let him adjust his state to prepare for the final, whether it is Italy or Germany, it is far from what teams like Iceland and Ireland can compare.I'm afraid it will be very difficult to get past the semi-finals. How can I have any chance to prepare for the finals?

"I will try my best to recover, at least wait until the day before the game to decide whether I can play."

Didier Deschamps was not in a hurry to make this decision, everything is variable, and he would not reveal his starting lineup until the deadline set by UEFA.What I said just now was just to prepare him for not being able to play. Unexpectedly, this kid was quite persistent: "Okay, but you don't need to use the training in the afternoon and watching the game with the whole team in the evening. I will give you a day off at Room to rest."

"It's okay, I can hold on"

"You don't need to insist. If you want to get well soon and continue the game, you should take a good rest." Deschamps interrupted him in a strong and non-negotiable tone, "I'm still worried that you will infect others with your cold."

Well, the last reason completely convinced Leo.They have gone through most of the way to the championship smoothly, and there are still two crucial games in the end.It is already very troublesome for him to have a situation alone, and he cannot affect his teammates.

As the European Cup schedule progressed, Leo found that his desire for the championship had surpassed his original imagination.His attitude towards every game has always been to try his best and not to force the result. The goal is naturally to win, and he is happy to accept the loss.

Perhaps it was Ronaldo's persistence for many years that touched him, or maybe it was because of Griezmann's defeat in the Champions League that he pinned his hopes on the European Cup.In short, Leo is now full of determination to win the championship trophy. With the strength of the current French team, he can compete with any team for the championship.

Classmate Leo has always been a good boy who is good at learning. He didn't feel panic about the gradually awakening desire to win in his heart, but accepted it calmly and experienced the joy of fighting for it and the excitement after imagining winning the championship.

He readily accepted Deschamps' arrangement and slept all afternoon in the room with his head covered. When he woke up, he felt more tired than training all afternoon.

The cold made him have a stuffy nose, a cough, and a lack of oxygen to his brain, making him feel unbearably uncomfortable.He rubbed his sleepy head vigorously, and fumbled for the remote control on the bedside table to turn on the TV.Although he couldn't go downstairs to watch with his teammates, he couldn't miss this game anyway.

The ball was played extremely fiercely. Just 15 minutes into the game, the German midfielder Khedira had to be replaced because he strained his thigh muscle with a ball.He is the first line of defense of the German team, with comprehensive skills and abundant physical strength. He escorts the team by actively running on the field.Schweinsteiger, who replaced him, is the captain of the national team, but with age and injuries, his position on the field has been transformed from a front midfielder to a midfielder. Both Manchester United and the national team have lost their main position. .

It is undeniable that Xiaozhu once brought countless surprises and shocks to German fans on the court, but heroes will always grow old. The age of 32 is still too early for a football player to retire.The lingering injuries put him under tremendous physical and psychological pressure. He gradually lost his original role in the team and became such an embarrassing existence as a spiritual leader.

In the 27th minute of the game, Hummels crossed the penalty area diagonally from the left. Schweinsteiger quickly inserted a beautiful head shake and broke the goal. First, the goal was disallowed.

The two sides fought fiercely, and both had wonderful performances on the offensive and defensive lines. Hummels frequently sent wonderful passes, but Muller and Gomez missed consecutive opportunities.Although the German team has a high ball possession rate of 62, the two sides are evenly matched in the number of shots.The 45 minutes of the first half were all fruitless.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. The smell of gunpowder on the field became more and more intense. In just 4 minutes, Italy received 3 yellow cards one after another. The eagerness to win could not be ignored, and they made frequent mistakes.The German coach Loew was gloating and laughing on the sidelines, but Conte on the other side couldn't laugh anyway.

The accident happened in the 64th minute, and Germany took the lead in scoring.After Gomez took the ball, he knocked it across to Hector. The latter crossed and was blocked and then flew to the middle. Ozil just grabbed the first spot and pushed and scored. Germany led by 10.

However, their advantage lasted only 13 minutes, and it was ruined by a small mistake by the defense general.In the 77th minute of the game, Boateng handballed in the penalty area. After a brief exchange with the assistant referee, the referee pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation.Bonucci scored a penalty kick to equalize the score for Italy at 11.

The two sides returned to the starting point, but there were only 12 minutes left in the game.Neither side scored a goal in these 12 minutes, and the game will enter 30 minutes of extra time.Although it is already the stage of attacking tough battles where the physical strength is exhausted and the will is insisted on, the fighting and intensity of the two sides have not diminished at all.

Hummels received a yellow card for Chapter 2 of this tournament and will miss the semi-finals due to a suspension for accumulating yellow cards regardless of the outcome of the game.Gomez was also substituted due to injury.The game eventually dragged to a penalty shootout under the tenacious defense of both sides.

After five rounds of penalty kicks, both sides missed three goals.Whether it is the fans present or the coaches on the sidelines, the mood is like a roller coaster with ups and downs.Victory seems to be within reach just one step away, but it is so short that it is always out of reach.

This epic penalty shootout continued into the ninth round, and finally Germany relied on their indestructible perseverance to win a 7-6 aggregate score against Italy.This is the pride of the Germanic nation. They never shrink back despite all difficulties and dangers, and never give up even if the hope is slim.They complete the game with the determination to die, how can any opponent not be timid?

Watching the 38-year-old legendary goalkeeper Buffon burst into tears after the game, the regret and heartache made everyone who saw it move.He has gone through countless classic battles in his career. Although the victory is exciting, every defeat is also heart-wrenching.For a person who is destined to be extraordinary, setbacks will only temper his spirit, but cannot destroy his will.Regardless of success or failure, Buffon, the world's number one goalkeeper, is already a legend.

It was the first time that Leo stood in the perspective of a bystander and felt a bit thrilling and sighing.He has always been a self-disciplined and surprisingly calm person. To put it bluntly, he has poor empathy ability, and it is difficult to stand in the position of others to make emotional resonance when facing things.But in his normal life, he doesn't want to make himself appear too cold-blooded, and he will also behave appropriately, most obviously when facing Griezmann, Lucy, Marchis and their family members.

But there is also an exception to this, that is Ronaldo, it seems that only in him can Leo understand what empathy is like a normal person, and be affected by another person's joy and anger, this experience is very fresh and very interesting .

He was thinking about someone, and that person's phone rang.Leo frantically slid the answer button, and just picked up the phone, he sneezed a lot, and his voice became hoarse and deep.

The president originally felt that he was too stressed and emotionally unstable these days, so he neglected this little guy, so he planned to coax him well today.Who knew that as soon as the call was connected, there would be sneezing and hoarseness.

"what's wrong with you"

"It's okay, I have a cold." Leo tried to say this in a nonchalant tone, but the voice betrayed him.

The president over there exploded when he heard it: "The semi-finals are coming soon, you have a cold at this time"

"I don't want to, but I just have a cold, what can I do?" Leo's tone sounded very innocent, like a child trying to please an angry parent.

Ronaldo sighed and softened his voice: "What did the team doctor say about taking the medicine? Did Deschamps not let you train today?"

"The team doctor said it's not serious." Hearing his tone soften, Leo also relaxed his body and fell on the bed. "No training, I slept all day, and I hope to catch up with the game in five days."

"You said you would wait for me at the Stade de France." The always bold and unrestrained Mr. Luo was a little embarrassed when he spoke, "I kept it in my heart, and I worked hard to play every game well, and I was able to lead Portugal to win a major trophy. It has been my dream for years. But since you sneaked out to meet me that night, I have another reason to want to win. My little fan said he would meet me in the final, and he did it perfectly, and Step by step approaching the goal, how could I lose to him?"

Leo understood, this person is really hopeless, and he has to fight for victory in this kind of thing: "Well, it's not the same if you lost to me in the final."

The president sneered: "Take care of your cold first, boy."

The boy rolled his eyes at the air: "Okay, then I'll go to bed."

Ronaldo was amused by him: "Take the medicine, drink more hot water, take a hot bath before going to bed."
