No. 1094: Dutch-German War!

Denmark lost both tournaments and became the first team to be eliminated early in this European Championship.

The group of death was really cruel, Denmark lost both games by one goal, and Sky Sports said: "With Denmark's performance, if they are divided into other groups, it is very likely that they have already qualified early."

Unfortunately, they are in the same group as the Netherlands, Germany and Portugal. Although their performance has been respected by people, they still can't escape the fate of being eliminated early! ”

After the game, Cristiano Ronaldo was once again in the spotlight as he conceded two solo goals in the game.

Especially in the second single goal, the Real Madrid superstar faced the Danish goalkeeper, and when there was no one within nearly ten meters around, he unexpectedly pushed the ball off!

The Danish fans at the Lviv stadium had a feeling of escape, and in the midst of boos, whistles, the voice "Messi" suddenly sounded.

This shout mobilized the emotions of Danish fans, and when Ronaldo looked up to the sky helplessly, the rhythmic sound of "Messi, Messi, Messi" sounded on the field, which was quite spectacular, and lasted until Bendtner scored!

Although Portugal won in the end, Ronaldo's loss became the focus of reporters' questions.

In an interview with Portugal's SIC TV reporter after the game, the Real Madrid superstar was quite calm.

'I'm angry at myself for wasting a chance, I should have done better, but the good thing is that the team won in the end.' However, the interview area where Sergio FernΓ‘ndez, a reporter for "Marca", was located, threw out a more pointed topic, "Did you hear the fans shouting Messi? ”

Faced with this problem, Ronaldo did not flinch. He replied in a mocking tone: "Wasn't Messi's Argentina eliminated in the Copa America this time last year?" And it's on your doorstep! It's worse, isn't it? But here I am, fighting to qualify for the next round of the European Championships. ”

Cristiano Ronaldo is still confident without scoring, "I feel good now, without scoring it is not a phenomenon, Portugal is going to beat the Netherlands to reach the quarter-finals. Yelling at me Messi? It doesn't matter. ”

The Argentine national TV commentator commented on Ronaldo after the game: "Ronaldo, who is in trouble, suffers from being called Messi, come and listen to the shouts of these Europeans." Everyone knows Ronaldo's weaknesses, so fans will constantly taunt him with Messi. ”

……

Just when Ronaldo had a war of words with the media, the match between the Netherlands and Germany began.

The match between the two teams was still played at the Metalist Stadium in Kharkiv, and in the last game, the Netherlands beat Denmark with a thrilling free-kick from Chen Fan in the last minute.

After that match, the Dutch team was criticized by the domestic media.

The match against Germany was a crucial game for the Netherlands. As long as they can overcome Germany, they can avoid a do-or-die battle with Portugal in the final round.

As for Germany, they are in slightly better shape, and even if they can't beat the Netherlands, they will meet already eliminated Denmark in the final round of the group.

With a win over Denmark, they still have a lot of confidence.

This will be the 39th meeting between the two teams, with Germany having a slight advantage with 14 wins, 14 draws and 10 defeats in the previous 38 meetings.

The Netherlands won 2-1 and 3-1 in 1988 and 3-1 in 1992 after losing 3-2 to Germany in Euro 1980 and drew 1-1 in Porto in the group stage in 2004.

Germany are unbeaten in the last three meetings between the two sides, with two draws and one win, and the last meeting between the two sides, Germany beat the Netherlands 3-0 at the Hamburg Arena, with goals from Muller, Klose and Mesut Ozil.

Germany and the Netherlands are well-known "rivals in life and death" in world football, and the Ukrainian police took this match very seriously, sending as many as 5,000 policemen.

Van Marwijk made minor changes to his starting line-up, with Mathieson coming back from injury in place of Vlar.

The Dutch team still lined up in a 4231 formation.

Goalkeepers: Stekelenburg; Four defenders: Williams, Mathieson, Heitinga, Van der Wiel; Two midfielders: Van Bommel and De Jong; Three midfielders: Chen Fan, Sneijder, Robben; Forward: Robin van Persie.

Loew also lined up a 4231 formation, goalkeeper: Neuer; Four defenders: Boateng, Bad Stuber, Hummels, Lahm; Two midfielders: Schweinsteiger and Khedira; Three midfielders: Muller, Mesut Ozil, Podolski; Single striker: Gomez.

Speaking before the game, Loew said: "It's a little less pressure for us, but it's still a tough game and we're going to win the game and qualify one round early. ”

Van Marwijk said: "We were criticised by the media for the first game, but I don't think the Netherlands will stop in the group stage, we are slowly getting back into form.

We'll treat tonight's game as a do-or-die affair and beating Germany is something every Dutchman should do! ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game officially began amid the shouts of fans on both sides.

After the start of the game, the Netherlands, who took the lead in serving, quickly moved the football to the front court, and Chen Fan received Sneijder's pass and faced the opponent's double bag.

He knocked the ball straight back to Sneijder.

"Smack! ……”

Sneijder made a through ball and handed the ball to Robin van Persie, who had his back to the German goal.

Van Persie couldn't turn around and had to hand the football to Sneijder once again.

At the moment, there was no defender next to Sneijder, and he could have shot from distance, but he did so.

Robin van Persie turned and rushed towards the German penalty area, with German centre-back Bad Stuber clearing the ball early and the Netherlands attacking for the first time failed.

A battle was played at the Metalist Stadium in Kharkiv, and the two sides went back and forth at a very fast pace.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Chen Fan finally got the first shot of the game, he received Sneijder's diagonal pass and suddenly cut inside, passing the football to Van Persie's feet.

Van Persie knocked back directly, Chen Fan followed up with a long-range shot, and the football flew out of the field by grazing the left post.

The shot sent the German fans into a cold sweat, and Loew yelled at his defenders, reminding them to keep an eye on Chen Fan.

In the seventeenth minute of the first half, Germany got a corner kick opportunity, Lahm directly sent the football into the penalty area, and German center Gomez beat Heitinga and hit the goal with a ferocious header!

Dutch goalkeeper Stekelenburg reacted quickly and struggled to lift the ball over the crossbar!

In the twenty-fourth minute of the first half, the situation on the field changed abruptly!

Muller cut inside on the right flank and crossed to Schweinsteiger down the middle. Schweinsteiger watched for a while and sent a through stopper, Gomez smashed between Dutch central defenders Mathieson and Heitinga, stopped the ball and turned in one go, and calmly pushed into the bottom left corner in the face of Stekelenburg!

The ball is in!

1 to 0!

Germany was the first to break the deadlock on the field!
