No. 1130: "Thirteen balls!" Chen played the European Cup as a league! ”
On the pitch he has to fight with the opposing players, and off the pitch he also has to fight with reporters, but fortunately he has long been used to it and can face it calmly.
That night, the Dutch fan forum completely exploded.
"Eight goals in two games, who else?"
"Three seconds of heartache for Balotelli, his hat-trick failed to save Italy, but Chen's hat-trick led the Netherlands to the final!"
"Another hat-trick and another new record! Chen is constantly pushing people's nerve limits! ”
"This is already Chen's European Cup!"
"Thirteen balls! Chen played the European Cup as a league! ”
The Italian fan forums are equally lively.
"Chan has Van Persie by his side, who is next to Balotelli?"
"Balotelli put on a great game, Italy put on a great game, but God was on the side of the Netherlands!"
'Italy didn't make it to the final, but I don't think they were losers, they played one of the biggest games of this tournament so far!'
"Balotelli is already catching up with Chen, hopefully he will move faster, Italy needs him!"
'Gianluigi Buffon was on the back of the net four times in the game, but he made a lot of world-class saves!'
Balotelli, who scored a hat-trick, was the name mentioned most by Italian fans.
The next day, almost the whole world was commenting on the showdown.
The Daily Mail commented: "After knocking out England on penalties, Italy met the new World Cup champions, the Netherlands.
The Netherlands slaughtered Russia 7-0 in the quarter-finals, avenging the one-shot victory four years ago, and morale is high.
Chen remained in super high form in that game, scoring five goals and setting a record for goals scored in a single game in the European Cup!
Italy have regained their confidence as a world powerhouse after knocking out England.
So the two teams with high morale staged a peak duel for us last night - the semi-finals!
This game has attracted the attention of more than billions of people around the world!
Chan and Balotelli were the focal points of the pitch in the pinnacle matchup, with both scoring three goals for their teams. The difference is that the Netherlands advanced to the final, while Italy were unfortunately eliminated.
Because Chen was standing next to Van Persie, and Balotelli was fighting alone.
In fact, Italy had a chance to equalise at the last minute last night, but Chiellini's header was denied by the woodwork.
Some people compared Balotelli to Chen after the game, after all, both men scored three goals, but this newspaper believes that Balotelli cannot be compared to Chen.
Last night, the Dutch defence was as bad as ever, with Balotelli's first two goals being difficult, but not as difficult as Chen.
Chen was surrounded by Italian players for almost the entire match, and he struggled to find space to attack and shoot on goal. However, it was in this situation that he even scored three goals, which has to be said that he was great.
Especially in the third goal, he took a free kick directly into Buffon's goal from a distance of 40 meters!
To be able to score three goals under the tight defense of the Italians, Chen Shu is rare!
And he is the first player in the world to score a hat-trick against Italy!
Add to that the five goals scored against Russia and Chan has already scored eight goals in the knockout rounds!
This is another record for the European Cup!
No wonder some fans call Chen a 'record harvester', and he deserves it!
Of course, we have to admit that there was an element of luck in the Netherlands' reach for the final, as Dutch coach Van Marwijk and Chen admitted after the game.
Italy had three shots denied by the woodwork in last night's game, and even if one of those three goals went into the woodwork, the end result could be another.
Of course, Italy were not without a takeaway last night, with Balotelli being their biggest gain, as no Italian player had ever scored a hat-trick in the Euros before Balotelli.
If nothing else, Balotelli will be Italy's striker for the next decade, which is sure to bolster Italy's attacking capabilities.
In last night's game, the Italian showed the world what a real quick counter-attack is.
After scoring his first goal, he frequently threatened the Netherlands with quick counter-attacks, and soon scored a second goal with a quick counter-attack to give his team a two-goal lead over the Netherlands.
If it weren't for Chen's super-high form last night, the winner last night would have been Italy, not the Netherlands.
Regardless, the Netherlands are already in the final of the European Championship and they are making strides towards the record set by France – the World Cup and then the European Championship.
Spain met the Netherlands in the World Cup final two years ago and it was a painful memory for the matadors, who were reversed by a goal.
Chen, who scored two goals, became the hero of the Netherlands.
When they met again in the final of the tournament two years later, Chan appeared very confident, and in an interview after the match, he said in the mixed interview area, 'It's been two years since the World Cup in South Africa, and during those two years, Spain have maintained a very high level, just like the Netherlands, they have been unbeaten. So, the final against Spain was definitely a tough match! ’
'But I don't think we will win the final against Spain so lucky and tough! ’
Spain and the Netherlands are undoubtedly the hottest teams in world football today, and we are looking forward to what kind of showdown they will play in the final!
We hope they give us a great game! ”
The Daily Mail believes that Balotelli can't be compared to Chen Fan at this time, and they only talked about the situation in the semi-final last night, and did not compare the achievements of the two in football.
Perhaps they think that there is no need to mention Chen Fan's achievements in football, just by virtue of last night's game, Chen Fan was able to beat Balotelli and become the best player of the game.
