PS1: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, free books don't need to spend money, and it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

PS3: Thank you for the tips from book friends "what are you doing with ni and zai".

In addition to the Czech Republic, the other team that has been criticised is the winner of the last European Championship and the biggest bitter opponent of the Czechs, with only one point from one draw and one defeat in Group A.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Czech national team (including the former Czechoslovakia) has reached two European Championship finals, both of which have fallen to the Germans (West Germany in 1972) at the last minute.

The poor performance of the defending champions Germany since the opening of the European Championship has really surprised many people, after all, the German tank that was full of injured soldiers four years ago and still fought until the last minute was too impressive. Gary Lineker, the legendary scorer of the 86 World Cup Golden Boot and England, has made this characteristic of German football deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

(Note: "What is football?") Football is a sport invented by the British, and after 90 minutes of fierce fighting by 22 people on the field, the Germans finally won! This was after witnessing Germany's elimination of England at Euro 1996, and Lineker, who was a guest commentator on television at the time, saw his national team fall once again under the iron hooves of the Germans. ）

And now? In the opening game of the group stage against Al-Haji's Romania, the aging German team had a bad start, and the seemingly solid backline was beaten by the weakest opponent in the group in just five minutes, and finally only equalized with Sauer's world wave at the edge of the penalty area, barely getting a point on Romania!

If Germany's poor performance in the first game of the group stage was due to the slow pace of their players, the defeat to arch-rivals England in the second game was a bit unacceptable. Even Portugal, which has always been weak, can break through the door of the Three Lions three times, and the German team with famous players such as Bierhoff, Jankel, and Kirsten has the upper hand in England.

You must know that although this England team has been touted by the British media as "the strongest England in history" by the British media who have always felt good about themselves, the coach Keegan's coaching level is not very good, and the back line is also full of holes. Otherwise, they would not have been overturned by Portugal, who did not even have a second-rate striker, after leading by two goals at one point.

However, even in the face of such an England, the German team could not grasp the initiative of the game, and finally suffered a defeat under the indiscriminate bombardment of the opponent!

It can be seen that the analysis that Effenberg made to Zhuang Mingge before the opening of the European Championship is not untrue. The German team that Riebeck is now coaching is indeed no longer the German chariot with iron will and team spirit under Beckenbauer. A series of problems such as disheartenedness, aging team, and weak sense of honor of players have erupted in the current German team, completely dragging this old European powerhouse into the dark abyss!

With Germany and the Czech Republic, the runners-up of last year's European Championships, both exiting from the tournament ahead of schedule, the final round of the group stage is also quietly approaching. All the teams that are hoping for a place in the promotion are gearing up at this time,

It should be noted here that in order to prevent the two teams from deliberately playing tacit goals in the game for their own interests, thus affecting the fairness and impartiality of the game, the final round of matches in each group is scheduled to be played at the same time.

First up is Italy's Group B. However, this game actually does not have much significance for Italy, which has won two games in the group stage and has already qualified in advance. Because even if the team loses to Sweden in the end, and Belgium, who are currently second in the group, beat Turkey, Italy will only be the least lucky to finish second in the group behind Belgium on goal difference.

What's more, for Italy, which scored six goals and conceded only one goal in the two group games, even if they deliberately release water, it is basically extremely difficult for Belgium, which is currently a negative goal difference, to surpass it.

So, in this case, the Italian players, who did not have much psychological burden, were able to travel lightly and face the match against Sweden with a relatively relaxed mentality!

Since a place has been secured in advance, and the top spot in the group will not slip to other clubs if nothing else, Maldini Sr. decisively adopted a rotation strategy for the starting lineup in this game, putting Vieri Inzagitotti and other main players on the bench, replacing them with players such as Montrapier Lodi Biagio who basically did not get much playing time in the first two games.

The old Maldini's move disappointed Vieri, who was full of energy to correct his name in this game, and the latter even pleaded with the old Maldini in private for this, but was fooled back by the old coach with a mouthful of cannons, and stupidly began to prepare for the quarterfinals before the shadow.

Looking at Sweden's side, because only one point was scored in the first two games, Lagbeck (Swedish head coach) had no choice but to let Ljungberg, Larsson and other main players all start the game, and put on an all-out offensive posture, ready to fight in this game and strive for a victory in the World Cup champion!

If this goal can be achieved, then even if Sweden does not qualify in the end, they will be able to talk about something after returning home.

However, having said that, if you choose to attack with all your strength against Italy, Lagerbeck will most likely be beaten by the Apennines, who are known for their defensive counter-attacking tactics. After all, Sweden's backline can't match those big teams, and they don't have a first-class goalkeeper who can do the feat.

As a result, the Swedish team, which did not have a complete and rigorous defensive system and took the initiative to press the attack in the game, was properly cupped in this game......

Montella opened the scoring for Italy in the 18th minute, with Andrea Pirlo extending their lead with a direct free-kick towards the end of the first half. The Swedes, on the other hand, only managed to save a point in the 77th minute by Henrik Larsson, who took advantage of a poor marking by Grandoni, which was a fig leaf for a poor trip to the European Championships.

In the end, Italy, who retained their strength, defeated Sweden 2-1 at the Philips Arena in Eindhoven in the final round of the group stage with goals from Montella and Pirlo, and advanced to the quarter-finals with three wins!
