After returning from Beijing, Liu Hao flew back to Europe and gathered with Huang Jianxiang.

The European Championship continues, with semi-finals Germany vs Italy and France vs Portugal.

In the end, Portugal, which had Cristiano Ronaldo, was unable to resist the French team with an away advantage, and finally lost the semi-finals 1:3. Like the last European Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo led the team to the semi-finals and failed to reach the final as in 04.

This should be his last European Cup, and not being able to win a title for the national team may be the only regret of his career.

Germany and Italy drew 0-0 in extra time and finally decided the winner in a penalty shootout, with Gianluigi Buffon deniing Muller and Kroos penalties to reach the final.

Germany failed to continue their magical World Cup run to the final, and once again, they fell out of the final.

Lost to Spain in the 08 finals, lost to Italy in the semifinals in 12, and still lost to Italy in 16 years, which may be fate!

As Liu Hao said before, Italy and France will meet in the European Cup final, time seems to have returned to 2000, that year, France and Italy will also meet in the final, and finally the French team has the last laugh, this year, what will be the scene?

Liu Hao flew back to Europe and appeared at the Stade de France.

There have been many glorious matches in this stadium, and this year, they have faced the final of the European Championship between Italy and France.

Liu Hao once again sat with Huang Jianxiang in the live broadcast room to explain the final of the European Cup.

And these two people, obviously, are on the side of Italy, before the game, Liu Hao has already said that he supports Italy, and Huang Jianxiang does not need to speak. Everyone also knows that he is supporting Italy.

The darkest commentary partners in history may be the two of them.

"I'm not a professional commentator, so I'll be very polite to say that I'm cheering for Italy!" Liu Hao can express his thoughts without scruples.

Huang Jianxiang seemed to be smiling, although he couldn't talk like Liu Hao, but Liu Hao had already helped him say what he wanted to say in his heart, but he was different from the outside, he put on a stern face, and he was a little 'dissatisfied' with Liu Hao, "Comrade Liu Hao, you can't explain football with a personal color." If you say that, you're going to hurt some French fans, and it's better to be professional. ”

"I still support Italy, I remember the final in 2000, I was so distressed and today the two teams met again in the final, and I hope that Italy can win in the end, it's just that it's not the players. It's long gone on the pitch now, and if Italy is still those people, and France is still those people, then how intoxicating the picture of the game should be. Liu Hao put on the mentality of an old fan to comment.

"Yes. You can now search for the footage of the game back then, and you can see ......," Huang Jianxiang said, "Although the quality of the game is not as good as before, Italy is still Italy." France is still France, the enthusiasm of the fans will not be reduced! ”

"There were so many stars in the Italian squad back then. Do I remember the starting line-up of that team, Del Vecchio, Piero, Totti, Fiore, Albertini, Dino? Baggio, Pesoto, Nesta, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Toldo. Even Gianluigi Buffon was only a substitute at the time, and world-class strikers such as Inzaghi, Vieri and Montella could only sit on the bench. Liu Hao is still chattering, infinitely nostalgic for the Italian lineup of that year.

"Although I like Italy, I can't deny that the French team that year was really strong, Barthez, Desailly, Blanco, Lizzala, Thuram, Deschamps, Vieira, Zidane, Djokaef, Dugarry, Henry, plus Trezeguet and Wiltord who became famous on the bench, they did not lose to Italy at all, and the midfield was even stronger." Huang added, "In fact, in the years from '90 to 202, which team couldn't field a world-class squad? Even the Chinese team was able to put out one of the strongest teams in Asia, alas, it has been 26 years in the blink of an eye, as if we are eating in a restaurant, the restaurant is still the same restaurant, the dishes are still the same dishes, but the taste is really different. ”

"Say that I miss the past, but in fact, there is no Huang Jianxiang in the whole of China Huang Jianxiang misses the past, who doesn't know that you are an Italian fan...... Let's just watch the ball! Speaking of the Italian team, Buffon and De Rossi now feel very familiar to me, and the others are really not exciting. It would have been nice if Pirlo had been here, at least I would have seen his final performance, but unfortunately he's retiring and I'll be there for his farewell match after the European Championship final. Thinking of Pirlo, a hint of gloom flashed in Liu Hao's eyes.

And Pirlo failed to become teammates after all.

Just a few days ago, Pirlo sent him an invitation to attend his farewell match at the Juventus Arena.

"Pirlo chose to say goodbye at this time, it's really not a good time, everyone is on vacation, who is going to play with him?" Huang Jianxiang also said with some regret, "With his popularity in Italy, he should be able to invite many big-name players, but the time is not appropriate." If you go, I guess the next day the media will say that you are going to negotiate a contract with Juventus, right? But think twice. ”

"It's not a thing, it's an honor to be able to go to such a great farewell show, and I don't mind what other people think."

"Well, the game is about to start, let's see, who will be at Euro 2016, shall we? Come on, Italy! Huang Jianxiang finally expressed his support for Italy.

※※※※

Watching the Italian game, the process is always ups and downs, and this time is no exception, while the French team is always tepid, making people look drowsy, and when the two teams meet together, it's like watching Juventus vs Juventus, yes, that's right, it's like watching two Juventus play.

It turned out to be 0-0 in the first half, without a ripple.

It's like a bland and tasteless marriage, drinking boiled water, light and tasteless, but time is passing.

No one dared to act rashly in the final, and that was the case for them.

In the 2006 World Cup final, France and Italy also played like this, although the final game was a 1:1 draw, but it still couldn't hide the dullness inside.

Of course, they don't feel that there is anything wrong with being bland.

At the start of the second half, the game was still like that.

In the end, their third final matchup was still dragged into overtime.

"It's about moving towards the penalty shoot-out, but it's about preventing the French, who are always going to be amazing in extra time......" Huang Jianxiang looked a little dull throughout the game, rarely spoke, and sighed from time to time, it seemed that he had lost the enthusiasm of his youth.

But Liu Hao has been yelling and wiping sweat for Italy, this is the difference between young and old.

"The French actually have more fouls than the Italians, if Pirlo is here, maybe he can get a chance, but it's a pity, it's a pity, even if it drags on to the penalty shootout, I don't think the Italians have to be afraid, with Buffon standing in front of the goal, it's an advantage."

"However, in '98 Italy lost to France. Penalties are in the hearts of the players. ”

The first half's extra time ended quickly and the score remained unchanged.

The extra time of the second half was like a rocket, and it passed quickly in the panic of the fans.

The penalty shoot-out is still coming.

"Penalty shootouts are really not played by people, it's terrible!" Liu Hao's face is still covered with sweat, as if he has experienced a penalty, of course, he kicked the penalty in the Champions League final a few days ago, and he is naturally still full of fear now.

"I don't think Gianluigi Buffon will disappoint the Italians, he's going to be very good." Liu Hao also pinned his hopes on Buffon, who will become his new teammate, and he is optimistic that Buffon can show perfection.

"Toldo possessed!" Huang Jianxiang pinched his fingers and seemed to start a spell.

It looks like he's going to do that trick from 2006 again, but he's not really a mage.

Benzema, who was the first to come up to take the penalty, simply kicked the ball into the goal.

"Why are you ...... like this?"

Fortunately, the Italian was not Liu Hao, and Marchisio did not kick the first penalty, and the score was still even.

Next, both teams converted the first four penalties.

The fifth Frenchman to take on the pitch was Paul Pogba.

Pogba, the guy who is inextricably linked to Liu Hao, finally kicked the penalty to the post!

"Ha, haha, hahahaha!" Liu Hao smiled instantly, and hugged Huang Jianxiang tightly.

That's fate!

Pogba instantly played a tragic role, and the player who took the fifth penalty was either a hero or a bear......

The last Italian to come on was De Rossi, and as long as De Rossi kicked the ball in, then the Italian won.

Euro 2016 belonged to Italy.

As a result, De Rossi lived up to expectations......

The Italians have finally won back their long-awaited European Championship title.

"Finally the dream came true, they couldn't get this trophy in their heyday, and when they fell, they were always able to burst out with the strongest strength, Italy is a very painful country."

"It's like in the world wars, he always played the role of a pig-like teammate, but in the end it was they who benefited......"

"The French are so sad, this is their home turf, and they have finally tasted bitterness......"

"Well, it's time to leave for Italy...... Liu Hao also sighed.

Although Italy is no longer the center of the football scene, his next stop will indeed be Italy.

Turin, Juventus.

This summer, the story of football has just begun...... (To be continued......) R1292
