The next day, the major media commented on last night's game. A number of media said that the French team without Tang Jue is no longer a world-class team. The team newspaper commented: Although the French team was higher than the Netherlands in possession and shots on goal in last night's game, they lost 0-2 due to the striker's poor ability to grasp opportunities. This match taught people a truth: the French team cannot be without Don!

Le Figaro, France's oldest and most authoritative newspaper in the country, commented that despite leading in many statistics, the French team lacked a decisive player. The French fans at the scene last night, when the team was down by the score, called out Don's name. This shows that French fans understand that the French team needs him, and without him, the French team simply cannot play against the strong teams.

The situation is the same as in the Zidane era. After Euro 04, Zidane left the French team due to a conflict with Domenech. Since then, the results of the French team have plummeted, and they were fourth in the group in the World Cup qualifiers. In times of crisis, Domenech had no choice but to recall Zidane to the team.

Since Zinedine Zidane's return, France's results have changed dramatically, and they have not lost a single game in their remaining group stage, and finally went straight to the World Cup in Germany as group winners. And soared into Germany and won the Hercules Cup!

France, like Argentina, is a hero-worshipping people, and football is no exception. In 78, Argentina won the championship on its own soil, relying on the hero of that team - Kempes; The 86 Mexico World Cup is even more extreme. Maradona was born out of thin air and led the team to win the trophy for the second time in their history. Having won the World Cup twice, the Argentines have a superstar.

In the 98 World Cup, France won the championship, and the hero of France was Zidane. With Zinedine Zidane's two headers in the final, France won their first World Cup. Like Argentina, France reached the final again after eight years, and in the final of the '06 World Cup, France emerged with two heroes, one was Zinedine Zidane. He used a "spoon penalty" that shocked the world. Helping France take the lead.

Another hero was Don, who saved France in the final moments after Zinedine Zidane was sent off. Tang used a volley barb recorded in history to kill Italy. From that moment on. The French believe that French football has found a new leader.

Zinedine Zidane retired after the '06 World Cup. Don became the youngest captain in French history. He led the team to the European Championship qualifiers. beat Italy and entered the main match of the European Championship as the group leader. The European Championship, which is now underway, is Don's first European Cup. Unfortunately, the group they are in is the Group of Death.

Coupled with the "downed Tang" turmoil and the Anelka incident before the game, Tang was under heavy pressure. However, in the opening game of the group, Don took the lead in helping France open the door to victory under a brutal flying tackle from Romania. Don was unfortunate in having been stretchered off the pitch after scoring a goal.

Before the match against the Dutch team, Don appeared on the training ground and the French fans were overjoyed, thinking that a miracle had happened and that their number one star had returned. But in the match between France and the Netherlands, Don was on the bench all the time. The French team, which lacked an attacking core and had a heroic complex, was defeated at the feet of the Netherlands led by Basten.

This game shows that a team with a hero complex must be led by a superhero. It's the superheroes who lead the team to make a difference!

Regardless, Don has recovered and the French team can shake off the shadow of defeat and set sail again. For the French team and the French fans, the dark clouds have cleared and the sun is back!

……

Sport has focused on the form of qualification for Group C: the Netherlands have won both games to qualify early, and the remaining three teams have a theoretical chance of qualifying. France have the best chance of qualifying as long as they win their last game. Even if they don't win, with goal difference, they have a good chance of qualifying for a draw with Italy.

In second place is Romania, who can qualify in such situations: a win over the Netherlands, Italy without a big win over France, and they qualified by virtue of goal difference.

Last in line is the Italian team, who are in the most dangerous situation and are now in last place in the group. To qualify, Italy must first win against France. With a win over France, Italy have four points and France have three, and as long as the Netherlands don't lose to Romania, they will finish second in the group.

If Romania beat the Netherlands, both teams will have four points and will have a goal difference. Italy currently trail Romania by one goal in terms of goals, so in the last game, Italy had better score more than two goals. If Italy draw with France in their last game, they will completely lose their chance of qualifying.

In a word, the situation for Group C promotion is very complicated, with all three teams able to qualify. It's time to test you, Team Italy!

Le Monde Sport commented: The biggest beneficiary of Italy's draw with Romania is France, as they have a chance to qualify after a draw in the last game, while the other two teams must win to qualify. Romania will need to have a goal difference of more than two goals for the Netherlands to have a chance of qualifying. Two goals to beat the Netherlands? God, this is absolutely impossible.

Italy was in the most difficult situation, and even if they beat France, they had to expect the Dutch not to let go in the final game.

In the final round of Group C, the situation looks quite complicated, but in fact it is very simple, Basten cannot let the team lose to Romania by a big score, because it will have a big impact on the morale of the team. The key match is still Italy and France, and whoever wins will enter the knockout rounds.

The two teams have played three matches in official competitions since the 06 World Cup, with Italy losing all of them. For the Italians, this is a humiliating record. Four days later, they will not only have to fight for qualification, but also for shame.

The Italians' energy in the face of adversity cannot be underestimated, and after the phonegate outbreak in '06, they reached the final under intense pressure and came close to making it to the top. Once again, we are in trouble. They are bound to burst out with amazing power. Judging from the course of the first two games, Italy have a problem of attacking power, and they have to solve the problem of attacking in the last game.

……

The French domestic media warned the French team: Although France has the greatest chance among the three teams, they must be careful in the last game, and they must not have a half-point difference, and they will be eliminated if they are not careful. The players need to forget about the game against the Netherlands as soon as possible and devote themselves to preparing for the final do-or-die match.

La Rijère de Paris said: "The fans at the scene expressed their displeasure with Domenech last night, and Don was firmly on the side of the coach in an interview with the media after the game. He thinks he can lead the French team to glory. There were no surprises last night. Don sat on the bench and watched his team lose.

The explanation given by Don was that he was in the recovery period and had followed the advice of the team doctor for safety.

Then he'll be playing in four days!

For the French team and the French fans. This is the best news of all. France's sharpest weapon. In times of crisis, you can finally fight for the team!

We have reason to believe. The return of Don can solve the current situation of "weak front". The French team without Don is not a world powerhouse!

The Dutch media highly praised his team, believing that Basten's tactics were very reasonable. Change tactics and counterattack after taking the lead. This tactic was successful, beating the champions and runners-up of the '06 World Cup and qualifying from the Group of Death. They encouraged the Netherlands to build on their last group game and reach the quarter-finals with a winning record!

……

On the 15th, the second round of Group D.

At half past seven in the evening, the Tivoli Stadium in Innsbruck, Austria, ushered in the match between Spain and Sweden. Both teams have won their first game, and whoever wins this game will qualify early.

Spain's two strikers, Villa and Torres, both suffered some injuries in the first game, but they were not on the line of fire with minor injuries and continued to start this game, and Spain's line-up was exactly the same as in the first game. Sweden's squad made two minor changes in central midfield compared to the first game, with Stuart and Ermandel replacing the injured Alexandersson and Wilhelmsson respectively.

In the fifteenth minute of the first half, Xavi's low corner kick from the left side was passed into the penalty area, and Villa's left bottom line was returned. Silvalho adjusts and crosses from the left!

Torres blocked the ball with his right foot into the bottom left corner of the goal from eight meters from goal, Spain 1-0!

With the score behind, Sweden stepped up their attack. In the 24th minute, Albiol replaced Puyol, causing an uproar at the scene, as Puyol did not appear to be injured.

In the 34th minute, Nelson's long pass from the left side was transferred, and Stuart inserted a 45-degree cross from the right side!

Ibrahimovic plugged in at the back post and tried to volley directly from 6 meters from the goal, but failed to play and stopped the ball. Ibrahimovic leaned on Ramos after controlling the ball, Ramos fell to the ground in a hurry and tackled the ball unsuccessfully, Ibrahimovic calmly turned around and shot with his right foot from 5 meters!

Casillas pounced, his hand touched the ball, but Ibrahimovic shot too hard, and the ball flew over the goal line and into the net!

One-to-one!

The tenacious Swedes equalised thanks to Ibrahimovic's goal and the two sides were back on the same page!

The first half of the upper half was a 1-1 handshake, and the second half was easy to fight again. However, what people didn't expect was that Rosenberg replaced Ibrahimovic, which was as puzzling as replacing Puyol. In the second half, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and no one could change the situation.

In the 92nd minute, Capdevilla made a long pass from the backfield, Hansen was slow to clear, Villa inserted between two defenders, intercepted the ball and burst into the left rib of the penalty area 8 meters, and pushed the far corner with his right foot. In the end, Spain defeated Sweden 2-1 in stoppage time, won two consecutive victories, and also qualified early!

Half an hour later, defending champions Greece played Russia in Salzburg, Austria. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the Russian team defeated the Greek team 1-0 and won the first game of the group. After two rounds of group matches, the Russian team has 3 points, while the Greek team has 0 points and has not scored a goal, and the defending champions are out of the tournament one round early!

Group D is a clear picture and Spain have already secured their place in qualification. Russia will face Sweden for another qualifying spot. Sweden have a goal difference advantage and a draw will qualify, while Russia will have to win to qualify.

With the conclusion of Group D, the second round of the group has been completed. The third round of the game will be even more cruel, many teams are facing a life-and-death battle, win, enter the knockout round, draw or lose, and have to pack up and go home! (To be continued......)
