No. 1113: The biggest "tragedy" in the history of the European Cup!
There was thunderous applause at the Gdansk stadium, and even Russian fans burst into applause.
Gullit, Ruud van Nistelrooy and other Dutch celebrities who were sitting in the VIP seats stood up and began to applaud, and Platini, the president of the European Cup, also stood up and applauded.
Chen Fan surpassed two of his records tonight.
Van Marwijk, who was standing in the command area, began to applaud, and the Dutch players who walked out of the bench and stood on the sidelines began to applaud......
So the audience applauded!
Chen Fan bowed in all directions and thanked the fans for their applause.
The applause was louder and lasting.
The referee did not ask for the game to start as soon as possible, and the Catalan TV commentator said "annoyed": "Why didn't the referee let the game start as soon as possible?" It's been two minutes since Chen scored! β
After the game, the referee on duty said in an interview: "I think I should give Chen time to accept the love of the fans, if there is criticism, then let them criticize, I don't think I did anything wrong!" β
The game restarted after three minutes, and the game seemed to be a stage for Chen Fan's performance, winning applause every time he took the ball, passed or passed.
At this moment, he is the center of the whole stadium, the center of the fans all over the world.
In the 37th minute of the second half, Van Marwijk replaced Chen Fan.
The commentator of France TΓ©lΓ©visiono 2 said loudly: "Eight minutes before the end of the game, Van Marwijk replaced Chen in advance, so that he could enjoy heroic cheers and applause in advance!"
In what the Dutch media and fans called the 'battle of revenge', Chan turned the game into a solo performance stage, scoring five goals and leading the Dutch team to the game shortly after the start of the second half.
It's a magical night, it's a night that will go down in history, and Chan tells the world what greatness is! β
The commentator of Sky Sports in the UK said: "Now the audience is applauding, and Chen is enjoying the treatment of a hero! Thank you Chan for giving us a wonderful and great game!
This is a night that belongs to him, this is a game that belongs to him! β
The applause lasted for a long time, and after Chen Fan sat on the bench, the applause slowly subsided, and the teammates on the bench stepped forward to congratulate him one by one.
On the field, the Dutch team did not stop scoring because Chen Fan was off the field and did not stop scoring because of the big lead.
In the 43rd minute of the second half, the Russian defender did not clear the ball in the penalty area, and the ball fell at the feet of Huntelaar.
Huntelaar shoots the line of the penalty area and the football goes into the net!
Eight to zero!
At the end of regular time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and he avoided a more embarrassing situation for Russia.
Various voices came from the broadcast booth, which were transmitted by satellite throughout the world:
"The game is over, the Netherlands won this 'revenge battle' with a huge score of 8-0 against Russia!"
"Eight to zero! The Netherlands has rewritten its own record! In the quarterfinals of the 2000 European Cup, the Netherlands defeated Yugoslavia 6-1, creating a record for the largest score difference in the main match of the European Cup! Tonight he rewrote his own record! β
"The biggest 'tragedy' in the main match of the European Cup happened, the Netherlands brutally slaughtered Russia with eight goals, and avenged the elimination of the opponent four years ago!"
"In the group stage, the Netherlands qualified with two wins and one draw, but they had a very difficult game. The two games they won were won in the last minute.
Although the Netherlands qualified for the knockout stage as group winners, they were not favoured. During the warm-up tonight, Arjen Robben was unexpectedly injured and was unable to play, casting a shadow over the Netherlands.
But Chan stepped up tonight and he shocked the world with five goals!
Chen turned this originally suspenseful game into a one-sided game and a stage for his own performance!
Thank you Chen, thank you for the five wonderful goals he gave us, thank you for the huge shock he caused to our hearts! β
β¦β¦
After the game, players from both sides exchanged jerseys with Chen Fan and it was his team-mate Arshavin at Arsenal who exchanged jerseys.
Chen Fan wanted to comfort Arshavin for a few words, but he found that he didn't know what to say at all.
"You don't have to comfort me, this is the difference in strength."
Arshavin looked at Chen Fan, who was about to speak, and said: "I hope you can lead the team to win the championship trophy when you set records like Platini!" β
Chen Fan nodded and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, I will work hard!" β
β¦β¦
At the post-match press conference, Russian head coach Advocaat took the lead, saying in a low voice: "It is extremely painful for us to lose the game by such a scoreline and leave the European Championship in such a humiliating way.
When we meet such Chen, we really can't do anything, he is the embodiment of perfection tonight...... I even suspect that God is playing in his jersey.
A few days ago, many people offered me ways to contain Chen, and I also made detailed arrangements before the game.
However, after the start of the game, I realized that my arrangements were completely useless. β
He sighed, "Some people say, 'Chen is the man who needs half a team to defend!'" To be honest, I didn't believe it at all, but tonight ...... Chen proves this statement. β
"I will resign from the Russian Football Federation tomorrow, and I am no longer fit to continue as a Russian coach."
The reporters in the audience shook their heads and sighed in their hearts: Russia's European Championship can be described as a high start and a low walk, and they defeated the Czech Republic 4-1 in the first group stage, which made the outside world improve their assessment of Russia.
However, in the next two games, Russia's performance was disappointing.
They lost their chance to qualify early after a 1-1 draw with hosts Poland and lost 1-0 to the Greeks in their final do-or-die match.
In the end, they only relied on goal difference to beat Greece to enter the knockout round.
Entering the elimination, they immediately ran into the Dutch team, their opponents four years ago, and lost by a miserable score of 0-8.
Their form is getting worse and worse one game at a time.
With such a fiasco, the Russian team certainly needs someone to step up and take responsibility to ease the anger of the Russian fans.
As the team's manager, Advocaat knew he was the one who could best take on the anger of the fans.
A Russian journalist asked: "Mr. Advocat, what do you think is the main difference between Russia and the Netherlands?" And what made three to one four years ago to 0 to eight tonight? β
Advocaat replied: "The key factor in determining the outcome of a football match is strength, and Russia is worse than the Netherlands in terms of strength, so this is the difference between the two teams.
As for why it went from 3-1 four years ago to 0-8 tonight...... The main thing is that the level of Russia has not improved much in these four years, while the Dutch have produced a lot of talent, and their strength has increased. β
