19. The second round of the group competition

After the opening match of the group, the Portuguese national team has a break and they will start preparing for the second round of the European Championship.

The Portuguese national team is now at the top of the group with three points, followed by the Czech Republic, who also have three points, but are second on goal difference. In third place is the host Switzerland, and in fourth place is Turkey, and the two teams are also tied on zero points, but it is also because of the goal difference.

After the conclusion of Group A, the two matches in Group B also began, starting with the appearance of another host team, Austria, who faced the Plaid Army Croatia.

The host Austria Shijie is ranked after the hundredth, and the strength can be imagined, and it is difficult for some media to say that the host of this European Cup is the weakest host in the past.

Croatia are very strong, and in everyone's opinion, Croatia should easily beat Austria. Sure enough, just four minutes into the game, Croatia got a penalty opportunity, and New Cruyff Modric converted the penalty to make it 1-0.

However, Croatia did not show any quality to match them, and they gave Austria hope of an equaliser. However, the Austrians were unlucky and ended up losing by a narrow goal at home.

This was followed by the second match of Group B, which was played against Germany and Poland. This is the second favourite to win the tournament, and Loew's German side are in the spotlight, and they are also favourites to win the tournament after a good run of results in recent years.

After the start of the game, Podolski, who is of Polish descent, behaved very positively, and this guy was also popular with Polish fans. However, it was their popular Podolski who killed the Polish team in this game, and this guy's two goals killed the Polish team.

Germany also got off to a good start with a two-goal victory.

In this game, the German team also showed a very strong quality, they got chances far more than they scored, they were really strong. This has put a lot of pressure on the Portuguese national team, and at this time, the media across Europe have begun to hype that the German team is the biggest favorite in this European Cup.

On the third day, the Group C match officially began, which was the first appearance of the group of death in this European Cup. The first match was Romania against France, who were also expected to be high before the game. Romania, on the other hand, performed very impressively in the European Championship qualifiers, even winning one and drawing one against the Netherlands, maintaining an unbeaten record. They have proven to all shijie fans that they are not fish belly.

The game attracted a lot of attention, but the result was a bit frustrating, with neither team able to break through the opponent's goal, and the two sides drew 0-0 with a point each.

The second match of Group C is between the uncrowned kings of the Netherlands and the winners of the Shijie Cup, Italy. The strength of the Dutch team is undoubted, but the performance of the Dutch team in the Shijie tournament every time is eye-catching, and then quickly disappears like a meteor, with haode starting and no haode result.

It's a different story, as his squad and quality don't look like top players or championship favourites in recent years. However, it was a bit of a surprise that they were able to achieve good results and even win the Shijie Cup in Germany two years ago.

Therefore, Italy's squad in this European Cup does not look very strong, and it is a little older, but everyone still does not dare to underestimate them, and they are the favorites to win this European Cup.

However, in this game, the Italian was a surprise.

In the first stage of the game, the Italian national team could still fight against the Dutch team, but after 20 minutes, the Italian team was dragged away by the Dutch team.

In the 29th minute of the game, Ruud van Nistelrooy opened the scoring and led Italy by one goal. After that, Sneijder and Fabromckhorst poured salt in the Italian's wounds one after another, and in the end, the uncrowned king beat Shijie by three goals.

It was a shocking match, and the speed with which Shijie champion Italy fell was simply staggering. The domestic media in Italy are even more dissatisfied with the performance of the Italian national team, and have cursed and questioned the Italian national team.

The Italian national team is facing an unprecedented crisis, and the team's head coach is being questioned like never before. For a time, the Italian national team fell into a huge crisis.

After that, the first group of the European Cup Zuihou officially began, the first game is the Spanish team and the Russian team, the strength of the Spanish and Russian teams is very strong, this game can be regarded as a strong matchup.

Spain's performance in this game was amazing, and the quality they showed was daunting. Russia is not a big team, but they have the quality to break into the top four. However, such a team was also plugged by the Spanish team.

David's 61 Villa hat-trick and Cesc Fabregas's goal gave Spain a 4-1 win over Russia, and Spain's strength is not only reflected in these four goals, the strength of the Spanish national team is really shocking.

The players of the Portuguese national team were silent when they saw the performance of the Spanish national team, Qiu Ze also fell into deep thought, in his memory, of course, he knew the strength of the Spanish team, but at this time, he was still frightened.

After this match, the group stage of this European Championship will be played against the two sides of the last European Championship champions Greece and Sweden.

The current Greek team is not the Greek team of four years ago, and everyone thinks that the Greek team will not be able to stage any Greek mythology again, and they will not be able to shake the Swedish team. This proved to be true at the start of the game, when Ibrahimovic's shijie wave blasted the Greek goal wide and then, towards the end of the second half, Ibrahimovic fired a shot from the penalty area to make it 2-0.

Sweden got their group stage off to a flying start with a comfortable 2-0 win over Greece.

So far, all the top 16 teams of this European Championship have been presented, and the most impressive performance is Spain, followed by Germany and Portugal. However, it is undoubtedly the most eye-catching of the Spanish team, and at this time, almost everyone thinks that Spain will win the tournament.

Of course, there is haode, and there is also a difference. One of the most disappointing is the Shijie Cup champion Italy. Of course, there is also the Shijie Cup runner-up France, and the performance of these two teams has made everyone know how quickly a team can fall.

Now that the first round of the European Championship group is over, it is time for the second round of the European Championship group stage. It was the Czech Republic and the Portuguese national team that started the second round of the group stage of this European Championship.

Both teams won their opening round of group stage fixtures and are now tied on three points. Whoever wins this game will largely determine who will finish first in Group A.

Portugal, the favourites to win the title, easily beat a tough Turkey side in the first round, and coach Scolari also said that he would try to get six points after two games to qualify early.

While Portugal, who have the upper hand in Jishu and form, will be expected to do just that, it will not be easy to beat the Eastern European Archer, the Czechs.

Although the Czech team suffered a major loss of vitality in the midfield due to the withdrawal of Nedved and the absence of Roski, the team has always focused on the whole, not relying only on the individual ability of the star, facing the host Swiss team in the first round, the Czech team is not in fact dominant in the situation, but it still beat the opponent 1-0 to get off to a good start. The Czechs, who have goalkeeper Petr Cech, are not afraid to play against any strong team.

Veteran coach Brückner is also an "old fox", and with the lesson of the Shijie Cup fiasco two years ago, he has reminded his subordinates to play this game as if it were a final. The Czech also knows the importance of the match, with Plasseer saying: "In the German Shijie Cup, we also won the first game, but then we didn't get anything in the next two games and ended up out. This time we need to learn our lessons. ”

The Czech national team takes this match very seriously and they know how important it is. Although it was a bit difficult to beat the Portuguese national team, they will not give up. Of course, a draw is acceptable for them.

However, the head coach of the Czech team, Lycner, reminded the Czech players in training not to play this game with the intention of keeping the draw, and this game should be played as a final for Zuihou and must strive for victory.

For the Czech national team, although the Portuguese national team has an advantage, but the players of the Portuguese national team do not underestimate the opponent, they attach great importance to this game, they believe that the Czech team is not without the power of a fight, they must be careful.

In the pre-match preparations, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Scolari, reminded the players of the Portuguese national team to be cautious and not to underestimate the opponent, this is a team that has always been better than the Turkish national team, and must be careful.

Portugal's clash with the Czech Republic will be a do-or-die affair, with neither Switzerland nor Turkey losing on their hands, and the hosts, who do not want to end in disgrace, will have to take three points from their opponents, and they will have the advantage of being at home.

The result of the match between Switzerland and Turkey will also affect the qualification of this group, and if the two teams draw, the winner of the Czech Republic and Portugal will qualify from the group one round earlier.

However, it is clear that the chances of a draw between Switzerland and Turkey are not played, because if Turkey and Switzerland want to qualify, both teams will have to fight for all three points, and one point is very dangerous for them, and they are certainly willing to take three points.

The game against the Portuguese team actually does not reflect the true level of the Turkish team, "Emperor" Trim deliberately arranged a conservative formation because of the prestige of the Portuguese, and was comprehensively suppressed by the opponent's wanton attack, but in the face of the Swiss who are two grades worse than Jishu, they are likely to adjust their tactics and start attacking with three points, but this kind of scene is exactly what the Swiss team wants, because what they are best at is defensive counterattack.

Therefore, this second round will not be as mild as the first round, and now teams will have to fight hard to qualify for a place. Therefore, some people say that the real start of the European Championship is actually in the second round of the group.
