Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, since Italy and the Netherlands have come together, how can there be one less France, also as a representative of artistic football, France has always been compared with the Netherlands, and France and Italy are full of grievances and hatreds in history, if they are not put together, Platini will probably feel sorry for himself.

Grape harvesting, destemming, skin breaking, alcoholic fermentation, separation of artesian wines, juicing, malolactic fermentation, blending are the steps in making wine.

People love French wine and are keen to discuss Bordeaux wine, not only because it symbolizes the romance of France, but more importantly because it has a unique history and cultural heritage. All thanks to the winemakers in France, who act like winemakers on the pitch, from time to time to show the fans "how wine is made".

This summer's French team has a particularly obvious advantage, due to the fixed main lineup and the tacit cooperation between the players, so the team is more integral, and it is more likely to play a wonderful and lethal group cooperation.

With a proven backline, plus some of Europe's top defensive midfielders such as Patrick Vieira, Claude Makelele and Flamini, France's defensive ability is one of the best in Europe. In the positional battle, the French team has a tacit understanding with each other, and the attackers Henry and Ribery in the front court have outstanding abilities, so they will consider controlling the rhythm under their feet and tearing apart the opponent's defense through changes in fast and slow rhythm.

In France's star-studded squad, no matter which star has made a name for themselves, will not be the center of attention. On the contrary, the performance of the three young players Ribery, Nasri and Benzema will directly determine what kind of wine the French team will make for everyone.

In the previous qualifiers, the French team finally qualified for the finals as group runners-up, and Domenech became the first French coach to lead the team through two consecutive major qualifiers. But he only led the French team to play one Shijie Cup.

The former Shijie Cup and European Cup champion team France team suffered for N years, and was divided into the most difficult and complicated Group B in the entire European Cup qualifiers in the qualifiers, this group also has Shijie Cup champion Italy and the strong Scotland and Ukraine in addition to France.

However, in the process of group competition, France's luck is surprisingly good, France first experienced the most chaotic team atmosphere after the change of coach in Italy, when the personnel were the most uneven, taking advantage of the chaos at home to snatch valuable three points from the old opponent, and then in the six rounds of qualifying, the French team won 5 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the group, in the 8th round, France shook hands with Italy away, and the prospect of qualifying with 19 points in 8 games is already bright.

Surprisingly, in the 9th round of qualifiers, France lost 0:1 at home to Scotland, so that in the remaining three rounds, although France still holds the initiative in its own hands, but if careless, Scotland and Italy still have the possibility of joining hands to qualify, so French midfielder Ribery launched a strategy to drive the tiger and encourage Scotland: "I believe that Scotland can beat Italy, and the qualifying team will be us and Scotland." ”

Ribery's idea was good, however, what was even more unexpected than France's two home and away defeats to Scotland was that Scotland faced Georgia at home and lost 2-0, and Ribery's wink was thrown to a group of dogs, so that France only needed Zuihou to get a point from Ukraine in one round to ensure qualification.

A draw can qualify, this thing is too common in Chinese football, and the memory is too deep, because the Chinese team has never got the draw in expectation, the same, this time in the group stage of the European Cup, England is down in such a favorable situation, but Italy cleared the obstacles to France in advance, the penultimate round of qualifying, Italy defeated Scotland 2:1 away, which means that the two Italian and French teams advanced to the 2008 European Cup two rounds in advance.

In addition to the smooth promotion, France won the same game as Nasri, Benzema, Ben. The younger generation, represented by players such as Alpha, has performed very well in the qualifiers, and they will also be the hope of France at the European Championship.

The rise of the new generation also means that the old Shili Award is out of the stage of history, and the French national team coach Domenech announced the 23-man squad for the European Championship. Trezeguet was not selected.

Despite Trezeguet's impressive performances at Juventus this season, it is surprising that Domenech eventually dropped the veteran goalscorer.

The French coach gave an indirect explanation for Trezeguet's defeat: "It's a collective choice, there are already a lot of strikers on the list and you have to make a choice. ”

In a surprise was the inclusion of Gomis, who replaced Trezeguet at the age of 23 and was also selected for the French national team for the first time, and Gomis scored 14 goals in 30 appearances for veteran Saint-Etienne this season, and is the joint second-highest scorer on home soil after Cisse after Benzema.

What is the future of the French team at the European Championships?

Despite being a traditional powerhouse in European football, everything is still unknown on the stage of the European Championship, especially in the Group of Death.

Compared to the brutality of Group C, Group D is much more harmonious, with defending champions Greece, Viking Sweden, red matador Spain returning to the shijie stage, and Russia emerging with a large number of talented players.

The defending champion's path to qualification can be called a smooth one, with only one defeat in twelve qualifiers, and Rehhagel's magic is still playing a great role, for many years, the stories and heroes of "Greek Mythology" have been deeply rooted in the young hearts of children in Shijie countries in various words, although sometimes they are dressed in the cloak of "Saint Seiya".

In the summer of 2004, Greece created a new century by lifting the trophy at the European Championships, knowing that the Greek team had never won a single international tournament before.

In this European Championship qualifiers, the Greek team created another miracle, under the leadership of the meritorious coach Rehhagel, 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 12 games, and its 31 points in the qualifying round were the highest in Europe.

At Euro 2004, Greece were in the same group as Russia, Spain and Portugal, and the only change in the group stage was Sweden's replacement of Portugal.

Four years ago, the Greek team qualified as the second in the group, Spain and Russia were both eliminated, this time neither Aragonés nor Hiddink wanted to repeat the defeat of four years ago, and now the "mythical army" is no longer the "mystery team", whether the Greek team can replicate the myth, depends on how much elixir Rehhagel has.

Greece is also aiming to defend the title in this European Championship, Greece went to Austria and Switzerland, with the halo of the last European Championship winner, but the team's strength is not the best, and Rehhagel's scheduling is a key factor in wanting to win the championship.

This time, he recruited many young players, to a greater extent, to dig deep into the team's potential, and it was too late for coaches from various countries to study new faces thoroughly, so that Rehhagel had more freedom in the arrangement.

The other team in Group D is the Nordic pirate Sweden, the beginning of the country is the era of pirates. More than 1,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Swedes, the Vikings, sailed all over Europe, bordering the Red Sea in the south, North America in the west, and Baghdad in the east.

In the qualifiers for the 2008 European Championships, the Swedish team almost reached the "robbery level" of their predecessors at the beginning, and laid the foundation stone for qualifying for the finals with four consecutive victories at the beginning.

In order to be able to play well in the European Championship in Switzerland and Austria, Inter Milan striker Ibrahimovic chose to have surgery early, saving up enough fighting spirit and physical energy for the European Cup, and Larsson, another "pirate leader" in the front line, also changed his decision to leave after receiving an invitation from the Swedish prime minister and the autographs of 140,000 fans.

Their performances will directly determine how far the Swedish team can go in Switzerland and Austria. In this European Championship qualifier, although Sweden finally relegated to Spain and only ranked second in the group, from the process point of view, the trend of the Viking in this group is the most stable, and the opening four consecutive wins have laid a solid foundation for them to qualify.

However, judging from the process of qualifying, Ibrahimovic and Ljungberg, the two absolute cores, did not play a corresponding role, Ibrahimovic did not score a goal in the entire qualifiers, and was even excluded from the national team at one point, which is very different from his performance in Inter.

Ljungberg only scored against a team like Liechtenstein, and the former Arsenal's quick knife has faded with age and injuries.

In the European Championship finals, Ibrahimovic, Ljungberg and Melberg will directly affect the results of the Swedish team, for coach Lagerbeck, if the Swedish team wants to make a difference in the European Cup, it must play its own team Liliang, and then rely on a few core players to compete with the opponent.

From the current point of view, Sweden's midfield offensive strength is acceptable, the hidden danger lies in the defense of the backfield, the core of the defense Melberg has gradually declined in recent years, and Sweden's backline has not emerged a new liliang.

They were easily defeated by the German team in the Shijie Cup in 06, and if the problem of defense cannot be solved in this trip, I am afraid that Sweden will stop at most reaching the quarterfinals.

The strongest team in Group D is undoubtedly Spain who was kicked out of the German Shijie Cup by Degan, bullfighting is the quintessence of Spain, excellent bullfighters are the heroes of the whole country, and as a bullfighter on the green field, Spanish football is also enthusiastic and unrestrained, advocating offense, it is difficult to say that the people's hearts have affected football, or football has affected the people's hearts.

This is a star-studded Spanish national team, with the Mesozoic players led by Puyol and Xavi singing the leading role, a large number of young people emerging in the league, whether it is experience, competitive status, or a thirst for honor, the Spanish team to Switzerland and Austria has all the necessary ingredients to win the championship, in the last few warm-up games, the Spanish team has also shown good competitive form, the 2006 Shijie Cup champion Italy, the runner-up France has been beaten by the matadors.

Although the Spanish national team has not been successful in major competitions for more than 40 years, the Spanish team has always been the favorite to win the tournament, and at Euro 2008, Spain was second behind Germany in the odds to win the championship, and in the eyes of many celebrities, the matadors from the Iberian Peninsula are also the most likely to win the gold cup.

In the qualifiers, Spain qualified for the first round in advance, but also created the myth of undefeated in 07 by the way, the German Shijie Cup qualifiers were tyrannized by Belgium, which appeared in advance, and missed the stage of the Shijie Cup, this time the Spaniards did not want to repeat it.

After missing out on the German Shijie Cup, Aragonés underwent a thorough rethinking of the team's tactical system. After dropping banner figures such as Raul and Morientes in quick succession, the Spanish national team has picked up a number of small players with good jishu, speed and team mentality in the front line. From the initial stubbornness of 442 to the current 4231, the success of Aragonés' tactical innovation has been indispensable.

Drastic reforms, this time the old coach looks like he's going to be serious, and Raul's name is not included in the 23-man squad of the Spanish team announced by Aragonés a few days ago.

Raul has scored 23 goals for Real Madrid this season, the highest in five years, and is one of the heroes of the team's La Liga title grabs, but Aragonés has not been unmoved.

Sergio. Garcia, Cazorla, Palop, De La Red, and Fernando. Navarro, five of the 23-man roster have not played even a single minute for the national team.

With only eight of the 23 players playing at Euro 2004, 13 having qualifying experience in the 2006 Shijie Cup, and only six of them having been born before 1980, people have to admire the courage of Aragonés before the big game.

Aragonés also confidently said: "We have to believe that this list will allow Spain to win. ”

Aragonés is confident, but the Spanish fans say they are hurt, because their prince Raul can only stay at home and watch TV this summer, for Spanish football, Raul is a name that can never be ignored, unfortunately, the departure of the golden boy has become a booster for Spain.

From a tactical point of view, Raul, who is gradually losing speed, is indeed not the first choice for the striker. And in the game with Aragonés, Raul was also completely defeated. The Lord of the Rings ganged up in the German Shijie Cup qualifiers and completely angered Aragonés, who kicked Raul out of the national team after being kicked out of the Shijie Cup by Belgium.

Raul's departure has caused Spain to lose many fans, but it is undeniable that the disappearance of the Lord of the Rings has spawned a large number of young players who have grown rapidly.

David who can be in the side. Silva has become one of Aragonés' most trusted players, and Andres Iniesta's shijie wave against England has put him in the starting line-up. Torres and Villa may not be new, but the departure of Raul has put more responsibility on their shoulders, which has accelerated the maturation of two new generation goalscorers. In this sense, Raul made a remarkable contribution to the matadors.

Spain is the strongest in Group D, but the most unpredictable is Russia, vodka is Russia's national drink, which has a long history and was produced in the 14th century, meaning "water of life" in Russian. Drinking good wine must be done slowly, and you can only taste the true taste by drinking it lightly, but Russians drink vodka, as if the Shandong Han drank Lao Baigan, took a sip, and then clenched his fists and spit out the wine with a "ha". The Russians believe that this way of drinking can be called a drink of courage.

In recent years, teams from the Russian Premier League have performed well in the European arena, CSKA Moscow has played classic duels with Inter Milan and Arsenal in the Champions League, Zenit St. Petersburg has won the UEFA Cup this season under the leadership of Advocaat, defeated Glasgow Rangers in the final, and defeated Bayern Munich in the semi-finals. The bigger reason came from their first foreign manager, the fantastic Guus Hiddink.

Hiddink has led the Netherlands and South Korea to the semi-finals of the Shijie Cup, led Australia to the Shijie Cup finals, and narrowly missed champions Italy.

It is thanks to Croatia's help that Croatia can reach the final stage of the European Championship this time, otherwise, there will be no former Soviet republics in this European Cup. The 90 minutes of the match against Andorra condensed the rollercoaster trajectory of the entire qualifier Russia, from great joy to great sorrow, and then Zuihou finally realized his dream.

After Serchev scored a goal in the qualifying round, the Russians were no longer interested in bullying the "regional team" Andorra, and everyone was asking about Wembley's situation.

The news of Croatia's two-goal switch of sides stimulated everyone's nerve endings, but after Crouch's equaliser, almost everyone thought "that's it", who knew that Petrich's magical kick turned things upside down. Hiddink, who has been nervous for a year, finally survived the half-time whistle and was finally able to enjoy the happiness of being thrown into the air by the players.

Russia's qualifiers got off to a poor start, drawing with Croatia and Israel at home, beating Estonia and Macedonia in a row and then drawing with Croatia, with the two teams scoring no goal for 180 minutes. Then he went west to London and was dismembered by England's three goals, and the qualifying situation was once in jeopardy. Local media have also questioned Hiddink's half-heartedness and readiness to go to Stamford Bridge to take over the Chelsea coaching.

Hiddink has been coaching Russia for more than a year, and his Russian language is still only at the level of words, but he knows Pushkin's fairy tale "The Story of the Fisherman and the Goldfish". 2. Frustration of Israel; 3. Defeat Andorra.

The ups and downs of the three rounds of the qualifiers can be called a classic case in the history of football, and the three rounds of qualifying favorites have changed sides three times, and the drama is stronger than the 2005 Champions League final Liverpool's reversal of AC Milan, which also explains why football, a people's sport, can not be replaced for a hundred years, and its suspense twists and turns are not comparable to other sports.

Pavlyuchenko's brace made all Russians happy, and no one blamed Hiddink for beating the originator of modern football for the first time in 49 years.

However, happiness comes too quickly and often does not know how to cherish it, and the Israelites rushed the temple of the Dragon King, leaving the Russians including Abu full of bitterness.

However, just when the Russians themselves have almost given up hope, their Eastern European brother Croatia has stepped in to help, and if it can, the Russian Football Federation is expected to be happy to install busts of Petritsch and Bilic in the football museum.

Russia have not made it past the first round of the finals since the collapse of the Soviet Union from the 1994 Shijie Cup to the 2006 Shijie Cup, and this time around, they will be hoping that Hiddink will continue to perform his magic.

The European Cup is about to start, 16 teams will fight for the European football league again, the last European Cup, the Greek team a "black" to the end, causing countless strong feelings and regrets, now four years later, the European giants are back, and some other "dark horses" like the Greek team are also ready to go, will definitely stage a strong dispute, "dark horse" assault show.

In this European Cup, except for England and Portugal, the rest of the giants are not absent, among which Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands, etc. are all regarded as the favorites to win the championship, of course, Belgium with Digan has also attracted a lot of support votes.

The most regarded haode is the German team, not only has strength, but also has good luck, there is basically no great difficulty in qualifying from the group, after entering the knockout round, they are also facing the Portuguese team or the Swiss team, for the strong German team, they will never put the Portuguese team or the Swiss team in their eyes, all the way to the final is their firm goal.

Now this German team not only maintains the advantage of physical strength and air supremacy, but also has Jishu's good Neuville, fast horse Odonko, etc., so that their tactics will become more abundant and their attack power will be further improved.

The German defence is arguably the most experienced combination of the tournament, basically the same squad as the German Shijie Cup two years ago, with Medsak and Metzeld maturing day by day, and Lehmann being the most ageless and sturdy German goal.

Italy, France and the Netherlands also have the strength to challenge for the title. However, they were placed in a group, making the road to the final even more brutal.

Italy are slow to heat up, and qualifying from the group is their biggest hurdle. If they can qualify from the group, the solid Italian team will certainly be able to go further.

The French team has become younger after the change, and if the youngsters can withstand the pressure and perform at the level of haode, they may also be able to turn around successfully at this European Championship.

As for the Dutch team, if the defense can do better, Basten will not be an upset to take the team to the final.

As for Zuihou, Belgium, who is regarded as the favorite to win the championship, is actually full of uncertainties, because he fought with Pepe on the pitch in the previous qualifiers, and Digan was banned by UEFA for three games, which means that if he wants to play, he only needs to wait until the team qualifies from the group.

However, Belgium's current situation, without the leader of Digan, it is really unknown how much combat effectiveness the other players can play.

In addition, like the last European Cup, this European Cup will definitely appear like the Greek team like the "dark horse", this time the host mainly wants to become a black "dark horse" is more difficult, after all, everyone has a re-understanding of the host and beware, this "dark horse", it is estimated that it will be produced in teams like Russia, Romania and Croatia.

First of all, the "Double-Headed Eagles" Russian team, neither history nor fame has been seen for good reason. But under Hiddink's tutelage, the Russian team already has a perfect central axis consisting of UEFA Cup winners Zenit St. Petersburg Arshavin, Kiryanov, Anyukov, and goalkeeper Malafiev. They don't have a superstar, but they're very practical and outstanding.

In Group D, where the Russian team is located, only the Spanish team is stronger, and the Greek team and Sweden team are similar in strength to them. Therefore, it will not be difficult for the Russian team to qualify from the group. After entering the knockout round, the Russian team, as a cloth coat, can definitely throw the pressure on the giant opponent, and they can give it a go.

Many people think that it will be difficult for Romania to qualify from the group because they are in a group with Italy, France and the Netherlands. But don't forget that when Italy, France and the Netherlands played each other, they must have given Romania a chance.

As long as they play in the group stage with the mentality of the underdog, there will definitely be unexpected gains, and if they qualify from the group, morale and confidence are very high, and it is not impossible to "go black to the end".

The Croatian team is also very well grouped, except for the German team, the Austrian team and the Polish team are not strong, and the Croatian team also has a good striker like Petrić, a quasi-superstar core like Modric, and some players who are not very famous, but have a lot of role, so there is reason to believe that this team will suddenly explode without everyone paying attention.

The curtain is about to open, sixteen strong soldiers, just waiting for a whistle to start fighting, Digan also took care of the affairs of Italy, directly by plane to Geneva, Switzerland, where to gather with the team, but before that, he still has a job, which is to circle this tournament with head coach Antienes, the 23-man squad of the national team.
