Pedro's actions have been criticized by major professional football media in Europe. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Media, fans, critics, TV shows...... Everyone was criticizing him, and for a while, Pedro became the most typical 'three-no' without a sense of national honor, team spirit, and professional player ethics.

What's even more fatal is that for him, he has done more than once such a thing as only passing the ball to Barcelona players. The difference is that in the last World Cup in South Africa, that did not cause many serious consequences, but this time, it almost cost Spain an unforgivable victory.

Even the fans of the Spanish team have issued vicious curses on the team's personal website, Pedro's own blog, Twitter, etc...... The newcomer king of Barcelona was almost abandoned by the whole world for a while.

At this time, the pro-Real Madrid media did not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they dutifully completed a fanning performance - attributing Pedro's unethical on-field behavior to FC Barcelona's 'hypocritical football culture'.

The media believe that it is the long-standing 'show' and 'cheating' football culture at FC Barcelona that has caused the work ethic of its players to plummet, with Pedro's behaviour, Busquez's fake falls, Valdés pressuring the referees, Alves fake-falling in the national derby, and so on.

The spearhead was pointed directly at FC Barcelona.

Later, FC Barcelona was even rendered as a cancer in Spanish football by people with a heart, not only La Liga, but also the Champions League.

Such a statement naturally seems blood-spewing and overkill.

This is just Real Madrid's seizing the opportunity to create public opinion to attack the sworn enemy Barcelona, just like last season, Real Madrid once stabbed Barcelona in a doping match, it is just a means to attack the opponent from the public opinion, so that the opponent will mess up...... If you really investigate it, it's actually all just chasing after the wind.

In the face of such criticism, the forces of public opinion in Barcelona launched a counterattack.

The two sides have set off another needle-to-point verbal exchange in the media.

But at this time, the most attractive thing is the madman Lee's treatment of Pedro.

Many people speculate that a madman like Lunatic Lee, who acts only on his own will and does not think about accidents, may be able to immediately and mercilessly expel Pedro from the Spanish national team, even if it is at the risk of having one less person in the squad than other teams...... Who knows that things are not at all going in the direction that most people guess.

It wasn't until the whistle blew for the start of the group stage that people were surprised to find that the madman Lee surprisingly did not make any public judgment on Pedro, and the Barcelona striker stayed in the [Matador Army], training with his teammates and did not suffer any punishment.

Perhaps the only indication of Lee's attitude towards Pedro was the starting line-up for the final group game, with the Barcelona striker on the bench.

And the man who started in his place was Gonzalez Raul, who won a valuable free-kick opportunity for Spain in the last game, which enabled Juan Mata to win from a free-kick.

Maniac Lee changed the team's tactical formation, and Raul appeared in the shadow striker position, standing behind Villa and Torres, looking more like a midfielder, but cutting forward frequently. Midfielders Xavi, Alonso and Cesc Fabregas each played their respective roles, and the position was slightly behind, giving the opponent room to pull out and cut forward, which was more conducive to the team finding a space to strike a lethal blow.

The effect of this change of formation is obvious.

Although Slovakia followed the example of France in defending the whole game, the Spanish team's indiscriminate bombardment and planned tactical traps were still scored by Raul, Villa and Torres with a goal each.

At the end of 90 minutes, Spain won 3-0.

After returning to the Matador Army, he scored the opening goal on his first start, which was obviously a dream start for Raul.

And for those fans who have always supported Raul, there is no better gift, and many of them can't help but cry in front of the TV after seeing the man cry after scoring a goal, and then silently tilt their heads and pour a large glass of beer...... At the end of the group stage, the Spanish team entered the knockout stage with the first place in the group.

It is worth mentioning that in Group D, the French team finally performed a miracle - Blanco and his disciples launched a Jedi counterattack, and they swept the Danish team with an incredible score of 6:0 in the final game. In this way, the Spanish team in Group D won all three games and accumulated 9 points, while the other three teams won one game and lost two games each, and the French team was in danger of qualifying because of the winning goals.

After all the group stages, the hosts did not arrange a truce, and the brutal knockout stage went straight to the beginning - time passed, and the game advanced.

The first team in Group A and the second team in Group B met Turkey, and the [Star and Moon Army] was not able to stage the miracle of the 2008 European Championship reversal again and again, losing 0:4 without temper.

The second Russian team in Group A and the first German team in Group B met and failed to cause an upset, and were defeated by [Erman Chariot] 2:0, losing the possibility of going further.

The match between England, the top team in Group C, and the second place in Group D, France, is a battle that will be the focus of the world's attention.

[The Three Lions] gathered many big names in the group, and the group was a smooth road, making them a big favorite team, and they had an absolute advantage in the face of the ups and downs of the group stage.

However, the final result of the game left many football gamblers with a loss of briefs - the French and Spanish teams seemed to be obsessed with defense, relying on tenacious defense, completely blocking the arrogant England luxury attacking group, and finally relying on Gourcuff's free-kick in the 92nd minute of the game to score an incredible defeat of the tournament's favorite England team, and marched into the semi-finals with their heads held high.

The match between Italy, the second team in Group C, and the Spanish team, the first team in Group D, are also in focus.

However, to the disappointment of many fans who were looking forward to a miracle and an upset, the person who finally had the last laugh was still the face that had the same for thousands of years - the crazy Lee. Spain faced Italy, a master of defensive art, and showed their own style, relying on Raul's opener and Torres' hat-trick to win 4-2.

In this game, Pedro was still on the bench.

For 90 minutes, he didn't get even a second to play, not even a chance to get up and warm up on the sidelines.

During the game, the camera has been very careful to capture the close facial expressions of the madman Lee and Pedro, hoping to find some subtle information in the middle, such as the disdain of the madman Lee for Pedro, or Pedro's dissatisfaction or anger at the cold reception he has received...... If these clues are found, then for reporters, there will be hype gimmicks again, such as the discord between the Spanish team's generals, and the secret murderous motive.

However, none of these are any.

Some harborers were disappointed, and the atmosphere in the Spanish team was much more harmonious than many people imagined.

At the post-match press conference, some unwilling reporters asked about Pedro, to which Lao Li's answer was also very simple: "It is completely out of tactical necessity......"

Actually, the real reason is certainly not so.

The expulsion of Pedro can indeed be regarded as a good option, both to punish his loss of work ethic and to set an example, to deter those players who have brought club struggles to the national team like Pedro, and to let the players on both sides of Barcelona and Real Madrid, who are fighting in the league, abandon some of the less bright thoughts in their hearts.

However, doing so could ruin Pedro's career.

After becoming a father, Lao Li found that he had become much softer. Although the image of Pedro has been poor before, and even because of Barcelona, he and Lao Li have directly torn their faces and scolded in the media, but Pedro's own hard work process in the Catalan giants is worthy of admiration by others, when such a hard-working player becomes a member of his team, Lao Li is more or less willing to consider a little for him.

When you have the power of life and death in your hands, you control the fate of others, and every decision you make should go through a full range of crossbars and considerations, so Lao Li is willing to leave a chance for Pedro's career and keep him in the national team for the time being.

This approach also has another meaning - to appease the Barcelona players. Try to avoid exacerbating conflicts. After all, Barcelona players occupy half of the current Spanish team, and as a mature manager, Lao Li must remind himself again and again: you have to think about it a little more, and you have to rely on your own ability............ Time flies like water.

The next development of Euro 2012 exceeded many expectations.

In the semi-finals, the [Gallic Rooster] French team, which stumbled all the way into the knockout round, once again relied on an open defense to draw the German team with many attacking players, and finally defeated the [Germain Chariot] in the penalty shootout and entered the final with its head held high.

Who would have thought that the French team, which almost died in the group stage, would be the first team to reach the World Cup final?

The French fans, who were originally pessimistic, were excited at this time and shouted the slogan of winning the championship.

Soon, the French's opponent appeared - the Spanish team.

In the other semi-final, Spain defeated Portugal 2-0, and both goals came from the biggest 'highlight' of the Spanish team - veteran Raul.

This is already the third consecutive game in which Raul has scored.

[The Lord of the Rings] used one goal after another to declare that he was still the king of the [Matador Army], and also proved the greatness of his surname Gonzalez.

The scene where Raul swore by his last name in an interview before the European Championship is still fresh in his ears, and he did it.

That's the hero!

Lao Ji is determined to be thousands of miles away!

If Raul can score in the final and lead the Spanish team to the championship altar, then he will become a legend in Spanish football that will never be surpassed, a legend that is still alive and shining.
