Two warm-up matches, one win and one draw, are not very bad in terms of results, but in terms of process, the Netherlands did not perform very well.

The away win against Ukraine was three goals in a row after two goals down, and the home draw against Italy was also an equalizer from behind.

In both games, the Netherlands conceded first, and the media was worried about the Dutch defense.

The Telegraph, the largest print media outlet in the Netherlands, commented: "If it weren't for Chen's last-minute flash of inspiration, the Netherlands would have been humiliated at home. Chen's shocking long-range strike avoided Van Marwijk being reviled by the fans, but the Netherlands' form was a cause for concern.

The backline, in particular, is no longer as reassuring as it was at the World Cup two years ago.

The veteran Van Bommel has become slower and slower to turn as he gets older, and De Jong still can't be reassured, and central defender Vlaar simply pulled down Cassano to give Italy a penalty......

How can such a line of defense be reassuring?

The only thing that is gratifying is that Chen's form continues his hot form at the end of the season, but can he win the European Championship just by relying on him?

The Netherlands have a lot to do now and they need to improve their form as soon as possible. ”

The Guardian has its own take on the Dutch team's performance: "People think that the Dutch team is in poor form because the season has just ended and the stars have not recovered, but it is not the reason.

With the successful listing of the Qingfeng platform on the NASDAQ, a number of billionaires have been created, among which the biggest gains are several members of the national team of the Dutch team.

Because they are the investors before the listing of the Qingfeng platform.

Obviously, after becoming billionaires, the Dutch stars lost their motivation on the pitch and they were immersed in the wonderful feeling of being billionaires.

What do athletes do they do to play professional football?

Name? Sharp?

The Dutch team won the World Cup two years ago, and many players in the team have also won the Champions League and the league, and there are several players who have achieved the treble.

They have lost the motivation to compete for the European Championship and they have got what they can get.

As for 'Leigh', they are already billionaires and don't need to win big contracts through their performances. ”

The Guardian's alternative reporting perspective has made many people "suddenly realize" and make many people sigh "so it is".

This report allowed the Dutch media and fans to find a way to criticize the Dutch team, and for a while, domestic public opinion was violent......

Sneijder was quick to refute this sentiment, saying in an interview with a Dutch media outlet: "We set foot on the pitch with a dream, and for us we never have too many titles, especially those of us who have never won a European Championship!" ”

Chen Fan said in an exclusive interview with London TV: "We have not lost the momentum to move forward, and our desire for victory and championship is as good as ever!

Before the World Cup in South Africa, we weren't in great form, but since the start of the World Cup, we've been in better shape one game at a time.

So, please rest assured that we will give you a completely different Dutch team when we arrive at the European Championship!

As for losing motivation to play because you have money, I totally disagree.

Who is afraid of money? Who doesn't want a higher salary? ”

……

Sneijder and Chen Fan have refuted the Guardian's views in front of the media, but this has not completely dispelled the fears of Dutch fans.

There are many strong teams in Europe, and no team can guarantee that they will have the last laugh, can the Dutch team win the European Championship in such a state?

Amid the worries of Dutch fans, the European Championship is coming.

There was no expansion of the tournament and the teams participating in the final stage were still 16 teams divided into four groups.

After the battle of the group, the top two in each group qualified for the knockout round.

With only four groups, it's not uncommon for there to be strong conversations in the group stage, or even to die in groups.

Hosts Poland are in Group A, joined by Greece, Russia and the Czech Republic, in a relatively even group where each team has a chance of qualifying.

The Netherlands are seeded in Group B, along with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal, Germany, who are armed to the teeth, and Denmark, who once created the "Danish myth".

There are three strong teams in the Netherlands, Germany and Portugal, and Group B is the group of death.

This is also what Dutch fans are worried about the Dutch team.

The Germans are the best team in the world in the world, and Portugal with Cristiano Ronaldo are certainly not so easy to deal with.

Portugal have been very good in their last two warm-up matches, with comfortable wins in both games.

Group C is also full of strong teams, Italy, Spain, Croatia and Ireland.

Italy and Spain are the favourites to progress from the group, but Croatia also have the ability to pull off miracles.

The other host, Ukraine, is in Group D, with France and England in the same group, and Sweden is not favored, but they have the god Ibrahimovic.

With Ibrahimovic, where will Sweden be so weak.

……

At 3 p.m. on June 9, the opening ceremony of the European Championship was officially held at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland.

Immediately after the opening ceremony, the opening match was played against the host country Poland and Greece, which created the "Greek miracle" eight years ago.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!

This also means that the beacon of this European Cup has been ignited, and 16 teams will launch the most powerful impact on Europe's highest honor!

Once the game started, the Poles were the first to attack.

In the fourth minute, Blaszczykowski broke through from the right and crossed, Lewandowski knocked back with his back, Oblagnak's follow-up shot was blocked by a defender, and then Murawski shot again, the ball was crossed by Chalkiasto.

In the seventeenth minute of the game, the first goal of this European Championship was born!

Blaszczykowski broke through the cross from the right, Lewandowski grabbed the header and hit the goal, the ball bounced off the ground and flew into the top left corner of the goal, Poland led Greece 1-0!

In the 44th minute, Papastathopoulos brought down Murawski, only to be sent off by the referee for a second yellow card, and Greece was forced to play with 10 men for the rest of the game.

Greece, which is behind by the score, is even worse!

In the sixth minute of the second half, Greece launched an attack, Torosidis broke through the cross on the right, Yerkas tried to grab the point but was interfered with by Vasilevski, and the follow-up Salpingidis made an empty goal, and Greece tied the score at 1-1!

Greece, which fought with one less man, stubbornly equalized for example!

In the 23rd minute of the second half, Greece successfully got a single chance against offside, Salpingidis was tripped by Szczesny in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty and showed a red card to send off the Polish goalkeeper!

The hosts could only replace Ribas with substitute goalkeeper Tetton. Karagunis then took the penalty but his shot was brilliantly saved by Tetton.

In the end, the two sides shook hands one by one.
