Such a scene of cheering with arms raised can be seen everywhere in Porto, in Lisbon, in Poltimore, in Cascais, in Albufeira, in the streets of Portugal!

Among them, in the bar where most of the people are concentrated, there are even more crazy cheers and the sound of clinking wine glasses!

The night is already very deep, and at this moment, the big-screen TVs in the station, square, and large shopping malls are all broadcasting the game broadcast screen, and there will be many passers-by in front of each screen to stop and watch.

Seeing Nani's penalty saved before people had time to regret it, and then they couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw Jonker shoot into the net. Of course, Manchester United fans were the happiest because it was Nani who took the penalty, and although Nani didn't take the penalty, it was Jonker who scored the goal.

"Portugal have extended the score! Thanks Jonk! 3:1！！ I declare that we have reached the quarterfinals!! Championship trophy, Portugal is coming!! Lineker is still shouting excitedly, if Portugal defeats the Czech team, wins both stops, and accumulates six points, then, even in the last round of the group stage, Portugal lost to Switzerland by a large score, it is enough to ensure that Portugal advances to the quarterfinals, because in the case of the same score, the first thing is to compare the relationship between each other's wins and losses, and Portugal has previously defeated Turkey and the Czech Republic and occupied the initiative to qualify.

"That's right! Advance! For the Champion!! The fans in front of the TV shouted at him.

It's only a group stage of the European Championship, and it's not against giants like Portugal's arch-rivals Germany or the Netherlands, but it's a European Championship game. It's enough to get the blood pumping of Portuguese fans, all of Portugal. At the moment, it's all crazy because of football!

"Football is higher than a qiē". Sometimes, it's really not as simple as shouting a slogan......

Jonker looked agitated after the goal and rushed to the corner flag and yelled.

He knows the importance of this goal, and when he thinks that the team has reached the quarterfinals, he can continue to play on the stage of the European Championship, and continue his performance, Jonker is very excited and happy, and there is: the feeling of scoring goals. It's just cool and crooked!

Then, the Portuguese players rushed over like a tidal wave, surrounding Jonk in the middle, some patting him on the shoulder, some hugging, and some waving their arms vigorously at the stands, mobilizing the passion of the fans.

Seeing that Jonk scored a goal, Portugal coach Scolari rushed to the sidelines, waving his fists excitedly again and again.

"It's pretty!"

This goal from Jonker. It's not just a goal, but more importantly, this goal completely crushed the fighting spirit of the Czechs in the second half after the break!

Just think about it. If the penalty does not go to the top, the Czechs will undoubtedly be stimulated by this and their confidence will be boosted. Portugal will be under a lot of pressure at the moment. Although Nani missed the penalty, but. Jonker hit the back of the net and the Czech's confidence hit a low point.

In the next game, although the Czechs are still working hard, there is already a bit of a mess in the attack, and the players are completely on their own, which can only be described as 'bad' and 'the general trend is gone' for the Czech team, which does not have big stars and relies entirely on the collective.

In the 87th minute of the game, Moutinho was still about 35 meters away from the goal, and suddenly took a long shot, which Czech goalkeeper Nikkpolidis could not save, and the football flew into the bottom corner of the net.

4:1！！

"Beautiful goal! Moutinho's goal!! He put a second lock on Portugal's victory! 4:1！ Lineker shouted.

After the goal, Moutinho ran to the sidelines, then he knelt in the stadium and pointed his hands to the night sky on a rainy night in Geneva...... Muttering to himself.

Everyone saw it, and tears flowed down the eyes of this iron man.

Jonker, Cristiano Ronaldo and others caught up and hugged him, and everyone knew what the ball meant to Moutinho.

Exactly two months ago, Moutinho's mother died of pneumonia, it can be said that although Moutinho came to the European Cup with the team, and started every game, the performance was excellent, but in the heart of this iron man, it is still extremely sad, at this moment, he used this goal to dedicate to his mother who is far away in heaven......

At this time, even the Czech fans did not boo, they understood that this goal, for Moutinho, really meant......

In such a tense and intense arena, at this moment, because of such an iron man's tenderness, it has to be moving.

"Are you alright, do you want to go down and rest?" Cristiano Ronaldo asked Moutinho, and he was a little excited to see Moutinho look emotional.

Moutinho shook his head resolutely, he wanted to finish the game, he looked at the captain, "Let me finish the game, my mother is watching me in heaven, she has told me since I was a child, there must be a beginning and an end." ”

Jonk stood next to him, and when he heard this, he looked at Moutinho and was silent.

At this moment, on the sidelines, Almeida and Mela are warming up, and it can be seen that Portugal is going to make substitutions, Ronaldo thought about it, walked to the sidelines, and said a word to assistant coach Brito.

A minute later, Portugal made a substitution, and Almeida, who had just warmed up, was back on the bench, with only Mela standing on the sidelines, who replaced Jonker.

Amid loud boos and loud cheers from the fans, Jonk ran toward the sidelines.

He hugged Mera and stood on the sidelines to applaud the Portuguese fans in the stands, to be met with an even louder round of applause.

Scored twice in this game, counting the hat-trick in the last group stage match against Turkey: two games, five goals!

This is the number of Jonker's first appearance in the European Cup!!

It's tough!

Eventually, when referee Webb blew the whistle for the end of the match, the score on the electronic scoreboard at the Geneva Stadium was frozen: Portugal 4:1 Czech Republic!

On the pitch, there was a huge cheer from the Portuguese fans, though. The faint sorrow of the Czechs was permeated in the rain and mist. The Czechs had a wonderful start to the game, but also had to accept a bitter ending - two games, one win and one defeat. The Czechs had to fight Turkey for the last place in the final round.

After the game, Jonker and Cristiano Ronaldo accompanied coach Scolari to the post-match press conference as the player representative of the Portuguese team.

At this time, at the press conference, there were already many reporters from the Portuguese and Czech teams waiting.

Czech coach Brückner sat there in calm and silence, talking about the Czech, who began his coaching career with Sigmar Olomoc, who in 1984 successfully brought the team to the top flight of the former Czechoslovakia. He went on to coach Witkowic, Petra Novic, Bratislava International and in 1997 he took over the Czech under-21 team. See in Milan like that. After young players such as Barosch grew up in the youth team, he led the youth team to the European Under-21 European Under-21 Championship in Switzerland in 2002.

Also in 2002, when the Czech national team missed the 2002 World Cup finals, the Czech Football Federation sent Yušef. Kovanic was dismissed and Brückner was appointed to take over the national team. Under his tutelage, the team with many good players but lack cohesion quickly became a strong and highly entertaining team, and the Czech team returned to the ranks of the strongest teams in Europe. The Czech team's watch for Euro 2004 was very dazzling. However, the pre-tournament favourites did not live up to expectations as they were beaten in the semi-finals by eventual champions Greece.

Because the head coach's size is similar to that of the American western novelist Carl Brown. The fictional characters in May's story are so similar that people refer to him as "Creech of Petra". Brückner attaches great importance to the harmonious sound of the dressing room. "The national team is like a big happy family, and there are no illegitimate children here." He used to say so. While the national team is full of big names, this family atmosphere eliminates the potential for individualism. "He's like my father," Pavel. Nedved said of his relationship with the manager: "I'm going to be completely obedient to him. ”

As everyone knows. The secret of Brückner's great success in the Czech Republic is also discipline and physical first, which is reflected in tactics such as strict defense and waiting for the opponent to make mistakes. Although it is dull and boring, there are occasional rewards from God.

Brückner looked calm, and so did his tone. "First of all, congratulations to Portugal for winning this game, congratulations on reaching the quarter-finals, my players had a good performance in this game, but their opponents were better than their table."

Brückner glanced at Jonker and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were present at the press conference as the players' representatives, "There are a lot of super players in Portugal, and the performance of these super players can have a decisive impact on the course of the game. That's the biggest reason for the score of this game. ”

Jonk saw Brückner staring at him, and his heart was a little hairy, but to be honest, he really didn't have a good impression of this Czech old handsome, why?

Quite simply, I'm afraid no goalscorer will like Brückner's football philosophy!

'Mr. Scolari, we saw that Almeida was going to be substituted on the sidelines, why did he come back to the bench? It seems that he was going to replace Moutinho? ”

Scolari immediately replied, "Moutinho is a professional, his watch is impeccable, he played the full 90 minutes without any problems. He told me that he could play the full 90 minutes, and I thought he could, and that was a qiē. ”

"Jonker, after the two goals in this game, you have now scored five goals in this tournament, can you tell me how many goals you plan to score in this tournament?" A French reporter asked, "In the 1984 European Championship, Mr. Platini, who was not a striker or a striker, scored a hat-trick twice, and finally won the top scorer and best player with 9 goals, and also sent France to the championship......

'If I had a choice, between scoring and Portugal winning the title, I would choose the latter. With a smile on his face, Jonk interrupted the French journalist to continue to promote Platini's feats.

Seeing the stunned French reporters, and the excited eyes of the Portuguese reporters when they heard this, Jonk added in his heart, "It's strange ......."

and the media's rich experience in the struggle. So that Jonk can already hold the initiative in this struggle, and he knows what the media likes to hear. Of course, you also know what to say. It can please the fans.

The whole Portuguese team returned to the hotel where they stayed, and after simply packing their luggage, the whole team rushed from Geneva to Basel overnight.

Scolari has announced that the team will have a day off tomorrow to prepare for the final round of the group stage against Switzerland.

In fact, against Switzerland, no matter what kind of game Portugal plays and what the outcome is, Portugal can ensure the top spot in the group.

However, the second round of Group B is about to begin. It will be up to Portugal to pay special attention, with the top of Group A meeting the runners-up of Group B, and after the second round of matches, the group format is almost clear, and the Portuguese team can do some targeted training according to their opponents.

There are a lot of stars who like rock and roll, not many coaches who like rock 'n' roll, and even fewer coaches who like heavy metal rock. Not only do I like it, but the coach who formed his own heavy metal band is unique. In my mind's mind, Bilic is the only one. Before the European Championships. Bilic and his band "Rawbau" wrote a song for the European Championships called "Crazy Burning", which broke into the top three of the British pop charts. After leading the team to victory over England, the birthplace of football, Bilic led the band to "occupy" the center of rock music.

Bilic isn't out of business, either. When directing the game, he is the coach. When it comes to performances, he is the lead guitarist. "Football is my life." Bilic straightens the relationship between the two. But like football, rock and roll is also in his blood, and it will "stale" out anytime and anywhere. When directing a match against the German team. Bilic almost used the small piece of turf in front of the dugout as his stage, but unfortunately there were no instruments. But the expressiveness of body language is better than the melody, and his sense of rhythm is even better.

When Croatia is on the passive. Bilic was furious and kept gesturing to remind the team. When Croatia had the upper hand, Bilic became very laid-back, even styling his hair with two hands and touching his own earrings from time to time. When the two sides reached a stalemate, Bilic was bored and half-squatted on the sideline with his hands on his knees, with his butt facing the audience, and he was cute and cute, making people feel the urge to kick it. When there was a controversial decision, Bilic went to the fourth referee to theorize, and the Croatian team leader couldn't stop it, and Bilic turned back to the team leader to settle the score: Why don't you protest? At half-time, Bilic risked being sent off to find the fourth official again, but fortunately the team leader was able to stop him, otherwise he would have to go to the audience to perform.

Croatia played so well and Bilic's performance was even more exciting. Sitting in the press gallery, it is impossible not to be moved. Bilic's brilliant performance also gave the players momentum, and the victory was due to his command ability and, of course, to his "sediting" ability. If I could vote, I would give Bilic the best honor in the game.

After the game, Bilic regained his true colors as a coach, but still full of passion, like a child. In fact, anyone who loves rock 'n' roll will have a childlike heart. Bilic is not very old in itself, and with such a young heart, it is naturally easy to get along with his teammates. Everyone is buddies, and of course the players are willing to work for him. From this point of view, Croatia's future in this European Championship is limitless, and beating Germany may be just the beginning.

The defeat in Germany was criticized by all German fans, 20 million euros, almost more than 200 million yuan! Such a huge number is just the cost of the German Football Association for the 60-member German delegation to the European Championships. In other words, even if the German team enters the final round, according to the calculation of 30 days, the budget expenditure of the German team per person per day has reached a staggering 10,000 euros, that is, 100,000 yuan.

Although many teams spent a lot of money during the European Championships, the "German chariot" clearly took it to the extreme.

This even German journalists could not understand: "It's outrageous, even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this!" It's a bit excessive! It's just that, no matter how much the outside world doubts, the German Football Association is still "doing its own thing".

President of the German Football Association (DFB) Theo. Dr. Zwansinger said in an interview: "Euro 2008 was a completely away game for us. So no one should be surprised that we have to spend more money. This is not a school summer camp and we can't stay in a hostel. We need to provide the team with professional and comfortable hardware conditions so that they can strive for the best results. Just like any other team. "The German's determination to gamble on the European Championship is evident. According to the reporter's understanding, the total prize money of the European Cup winner is about 23 million euros.

Staying in Switzerland's most expensive hotel, Ascona, where the German team's training camp is located, is just a sparrow city. There are only 4 major public facilities in the city: the Tenelo Sports Park and the train station with 3 light rail lines. A school and a shopping mall.

However, don't underestimate this "sparrow", there is one of the most expensive hotels in Switzerland, the Giardino Hotel. From the beginning of June to the European Championship final, the German Football Association (DFB) issued a big cheque for millions of euros for a stay at this hotel. Of course, you get what you pay for, and the Giardino Hotel is indeed quite luxurious. Situated on the shores of the beautiful Mediterranean-inspired Lake Magore, the entire hotel is surrounded by blooming chamomile, gardenias and citrus blossoms. The hotel was designed by the famous interior decorator Lampacz, and all the rooms are decorated with a unique and creative character.

In addition to Askerner, the Germans also chartered a 5-star hotel in Klagenfurt, Austria. Due on June 8 and June 12 local time. The Germans had two group stage games in Klagenfurt and, despite staying only two nights, were very generous in booking a room for a week.

Serving a tournament like the European Cup is physically demanding, so it's important to give the players a timely boost of energy.

On the issue of eating, the German team is also painstaking. They spent a lot of money to bring in 26-year-old Rolf, a household name in the country of Switzerland's gastronomic scene. Forry Gov. According to the staff of the Giardino Hotel told reporters, Rolf. Although he is still very young, he is already one of the most famous star chefs in Switzerland.

Before the German team moved into Asscner, it was passed by Rolf. Numerous consultations between Forrigoff and the team's nutritionist. The main menu of the German team during the European Championship was only finalized. After many efforts, the reporter got the most important lunch menu of the German team of the day: the first meal vetiver sauce seasoned salad, hot cheese platter, soup lemongrass clear chicken soup, the main dish is fried steak with mashed potatoes, whole wheat macaroni, caramel panna cotta, etc. This menu is nutritious. It's delicious.

Probably because of the relatively high budget of the entire European Championship, the German team was unusual, and they were very generous to the reporters who went to their camp to cover the news. Coffee, juice and other beverages and delicious snacks are available free of charge in the German team's press center. A colleague from Germany told reporters: "It's so rare, it's too rare." I've been a journalist for five or six years, and this is the first time I've encountered it. ”

After the game. Loew began by commenting on the German team's performance in a nutshell: "Overall, we played quite weakly. ”

As for the team's tactics, the German national team coach summed up the reasons for the defeat: "We didn't organize the game well through the midfield, we played too many high balls in the game, and the players' off-ball movement was also very problematic, so we couldn't play the overall coordination, and the passing accuracy was not enough. ”

Croatia's performance was excellent throughout the game, and Loew scratched his head after losing the game, saying he needed a day to take stock of what Germany had lost and how to improve, and to ensure that the team would improve before the final game against Austria.

Loew said: "We were all disappointed to lose the second game, give me one day to find out why, maybe I can name some of them now, but we have to sit down and analyse and find out all the reasons for this result and try to improve it. ”

Schweinsteiger received a red card for not being calm after coming off the bench, which was also the first red card of this tournament. In response to the episode, Loew said: "I said before the game that our players should not be incited. It is true that the Croatian player brought him down from behind, but Schweinsteiger should not have responded to that, especially this response. ”

Finally, Loew concluded: "Losing this game was a blow to us after our 2-0 win over Poland, but we still had a chance and showed a different side against Austria. (To be continued......)
