26. The first quarter-final team
Three to one, the Portuguese national team defeated the Czech Republic to win two consecutive group games and improve their points to six points, and now the Portuguese national team is only a few hours away from qualifying for the first round of the group.
Because whether the Portuguese national team can qualify depends on the result of the other match in the same group, Turkey against the host Switzerland.
The Czechs were very sad to lose this game, they prepared a lot for this game, they were very well prepared, in their opinion, they should be able to get points against Portugal, but unfortunately they didn't.
In this game, the old Czech coach Brückner took a change of formation, hiding the number one striker Jankoller, and instead sent Baros, the golden boot of the European Championship four years ago, hoping to use Baros's excellent running ability to put pressure on the opponent's midfield and defense.
However, judging by the result of the game, it was clear that Brückner's calculation was wrong, although Barosh scored a penalty in the game. But apart from this penalty, Baros really didn't have anything to praise and this guy is not the Baros of four years ago.
And Jankoller, who was excellent in the first game, did not play, which was indeed a mistake, and the Czechs did not put enough pressure on Portugal up front, which led to Portugal being able to attack as they wanted.
Baros's performance in this game was not ideal, but after the game in the mixed interview area, Barosh also explained that he was able to start: "Yesterday the coach told me that I would start today's game, hoping that my running ability will reduce the pressure in the midfield. I would have given my best to play and we had a good chance, but the second goal caught us off guard and we could have avoided losing the game. ”
Barosh is a bit of an explanation for himself, a sense of shirking responsibility, after all, his performance today is really not very good, just such a sentence is unjustifiable.
The veteran Kohler, who was replaced by Baroshe, said in an interview in the mixed zone: "The manager is right. The Portuguese national team has a strong attack and a strong impact. The ability of the back line to defend against high-altitude balls is not bad, but it is lacking in dexterity. Baroshe's presence has really helped the team in that regard. The only thing we didn't expect was that Baros wasn't in great shape. We feel very sorry to lose this game, but this is not the end of Shijie. We've got a chance and we'll qualify. ”
It seems that before the game, Brückner was already more afraid of Portugal's strong attacking power, so he adopted a defensive tactic, after all, after the victory over the host Switzerland, a draw would be a good result.
Speaking in an interview in the mixed zone, Rossoneri full-back Jankulovski said: "The coach asked our two full-backs not to press too hard and not to give Cristiano 61 Ronaldo and Nani too much space, because the speed of his sprint is something we are afraid of. We lost the game, but it's not all over, and the next game is still in our hands. We're going to be well prepared and try to show up. ”
Before the game, the guests were well prepared, but they still didn't achieve the results they wanted, which can only show that the Portuguese team is too good and too strong.
This was confirmed by the head coach of the Czech national team, Brückner, who said in his post-match press conference: "The Portuguese national team is very tough, they are perfect. We are no match for them, that fact. The Portuguese national team are the favourites for the European Championship and if they don't have problems internally, the title will be theirs. ”
Brückner has great respect for the Portuguese national team, and of course he envies the Portuguese team for having such a good player as Qiu Ze.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Brückner added: "Chris is one of the most haode players, he is a very dangerous weapon, and we lost to this talented player. I envy Scolari for having players like that in his squad. Of course, the Portuguese team is not just Qiu Ze, they have other very good players, but Chris 61 Qiu is likely to be the best player in Euro 2008. ”
However, Czech boss Brückner did not lose faith in his team, saying: "We showed that we can play well, we created a lot of chances, especially in the first half, which was much better than our first game, but they were perfect. ”
Czech coach Brückner added: "Losing this game is not the end of Shijie, we still have a chance, I believe that we will definitely have a place in the quarter-finals." ”
Indeed, the coach of the Czech team, Brückner, is right, in this game, the Czech team is not without chances, they are also very strong, and the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Scolari, also confirmed this.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, Portugal coach Scolari said: "The Czechs did a great job, we had difficult moments in the game, the Czechs put us under a lot of pressure during that period, and if it wasn't for the second and third goals coming in time, it would have been a difficult game. ”
Scolari added: 'But we played well overall and won the game in the end and that's all that matters. ”
Of course, Scolari also praised Qiu Ze, who had the best performance after the game, saying: "Chris is still very young, but now he has become the 'brain' of the Portuguese national team, he is the absolute core of our midfield attack, his quality is undoubted, these two games have been very proven. And I agree with Mr. Brückner that Chris is most likely to be the best player at Euro 2008. ”
Qiu Ze was praised by the head coaches of the two teams, but this guy is very beautiful now.
At this time, the outside media also had to marvel at Qiu Ze's performance, this guy really doesn't look like a young player who participated in a major tournament like the European Cup for the first time, this guy's performance on the court is simply too mature and amazing.
Four goals and two assists in two games, the six more goals completed by the Portuguese national team are all related to this guy, it can be said that the two consecutive victories of the Portuguese national team are due to Qiu Ze's excellent performance, this guy's performance is simply amazing.
Qiu Ze's performance is much more eye-catching than the Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, who has been very hyped recently, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo may have been busy with his transfer plan recently, so his performance in the game was very scummy.
Now, Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo have an immediate disagreement. Now countless media and fans are satirizing Real Madrid, you fucking spend 90 million to buy a Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, it is better to spend 60 million to buy a Qiu Ze.
Real Madrid is really stupid, a typical representative of the stupidity of many people with money, who only know how to buy expensive ones, and don't know how to buy haode. Now Real Madrid has become the object of ridicule.
However, this still did not discourage Real Madrid's interest in Cristiano 61 Ronaldo. Real Madrid really has a soft spot for Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, what are you doing?
At this time, not everyone is on Qiu Ze's side, and many media are still more optimistic about Cristiano 61 Ronaldo. They believe that Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's recent poor performance is actually due to three reasons.
The first reason for this is that Cristiano 61 Ronaldo has been affected by transfers, which has prevented him from putting all his energy into the game.
Now everyone knows that Cristiano 61 Ronaldo is relieved to leave Manchester United and go to Real Madrid. However, Manchester United disagreed, and for this reason, Manchester United also sued Real Madrid to FIFA, which had a great impact on Cristiano 61 Ronaldo.
The second reason is the reason of the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Scolari, who prefers Qiu Ze, which is a secret that everyone knows. And it is said that it is because of Qiu Ze, Scolari and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo have contradictions, and there were once disagreeable remarks, so that Scolari no longer trusts him.
The third reason is Qiu Ze's reason, Qiu Ze came to the Portuguese national team and immediately became the core of the midfield of the Portuguese national team, snatching Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's players, the ball is more concentrated at Qiu Ze's feet, and as long as Cristiano 61 Ronaldo gets the ball, the players of the Portuguese team are noisy to let Cristiano 61 Ronaldo pass.
Cristiano 61 Ronaldo is a player who has to create chances by taking the ball, and without the ball at his feet, he can play well that is called weird.
Therefore, those who support Cristiano 61 Ronaldo believe that the reason why Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's recent performance is not in Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, but in tactics.
At this time, the match between the Turkish and Swiss national teams officially ended, and the host Switzerland was reversed by the Turkish team with two goals in a row in the first goal. Turkey won the game, but it was a thrilling win, and their second goal came in the 93rd minute of the game, which was a minute of the game.
The Turkish national team was really lucky to have reached out and grabbed their fate in the minute of Zuihou.
In this way, after the second round of the group stage of Group A of the European Cup, Portugal accumulated six points from two games and became the first team to advance to the quarterfinals of this European Cup; After the hosts Switzerland lost 1-2 to Turkey, they lost both games and became the first team to be eliminated from the competition. The remaining qualifying spot in this group will be between Turkey and the Czech Republic, and the two teams will face each other directly in the third round.
The Turkish national team and the Czech Republic are now tied on three points, and the goal difference is the same. In this case, this zuihou round is very important. If whoever wins in this round of the Zuihou tournament will qualify smoothly.
However, if the two teams draw in this Zuihou round fixture, then the situation between the two teams is a bit more complicated. Because now they have the same points, the same goal difference, and the relationship between wins and losses is also equal, because of the draw.
In that case, the two sides will have to compare the number of goals, and as of now, Turkey have three goals in their hands and the Czech Republic have only two, so it will be Turkey who will advance in the end.
In that case, the Czechs' only goal in the first round of the tournament is to win, and only a win will allow them to qualify for the quarter-finals of the European Championship.
At the end of the second round of the Group A group stage, the qualification situation of this group is particularly clear, Portugal has become the first team to qualify for the quarterfinals of the European Championship, and the strength of the Portuguese national team is amazing.
However, at this time, an extremely shocking thing happened.
Just hours after Portugal's win over the Czech Republic, Chelsea Football Club of the English Premier League announced on its official website that the Brazilian coach of the Portuguese national team, Scolari, will take charge of Chelsea on 1 July 2008.
In the statement, Chelsea FC said that Chelsea are delighted to welcome Scolari, he has a high level, he is one of Shijie's top coaches, he has had great success both at club and at national level, he can bring the best he can to a team with many high-level players, his personal ambitions and expectations coincide with Chelsea FC, he is a good choice.
