The European Cup competition is about to reach its climax, and all the top four teams have been produced.
Portugal, Spain, Germany, Italy.
These four teams are all established European strong teams in a broad sense, and it is reasonable no matter who wins or loses.
However, Spain is still firmly at the top of the odds list of major European bookmakers, far ahead of the other three teams.
Since Yunsheng took over the Italian team, the odds of the Italian team have continued to soar, and now have surpassed the highly favored German team.
The Portuguese team is slightly weaker and is at the bottom of the list of odds for winning the semi-finals.
Although not favored by others, Portugal played the best game in the entire tournament in the first semi-final on June 28.
Many people think that Portugal will play defensive counterattack and just rely on Ronaldo's impact to find opportunities.
But I didn't expect that Portugal's attack would be even stronger in this game! Like Spain, they formed a 4-3-3 formation and were full of offense!
Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani are flying together on both wings, and Almeida in the middle is also quite impactful.
Although they have not scored a goal, they continue to threaten Spain's goal, so that their offense has not been too reckless.
The game ended 0-0 in regular time and no one scored in overtime, eventually leading to a penalty shootout.
In the penalty shootout, Xabi Alonso and Moutinho both missed penalty kicks in the first round, bringing greater tension to the game.
In the next two groups of players, Iniesta, Pique, Nani, and Pepe, all four players made free throws, and the score became 2-2.
Then Ramos also scored a penalty kick, and the score became 3-2.
The fourth Portuguese player to play was centre-back Bruno Alves. His penalty kick was miraculously saved by Casillas!
Saint Cassie kept a clean sheet!
The last one to take the penalty was Cesc Fabregas. As long as the penalty kick was scored, the game was over.
Under the expectant eyes of all the Spanish fans, Xiaofa's penalty kick hit the lower right corner of the goal and successfully entered the net!
The game is over!
In this ups and downs of strong dialogue, Spain finally won and entered the European Cup finals!
Cristiano Ronaldo's tears after the game became a hot topic in many media. He fell down in or before the final for many years in a row, which added a lot of sadness to Portugal.
But that's how football matches are, winners and losers, and Spain has once again become the focus of the world.
They are only one step away from creating a miracle. If they can successfully win the cup, they will make history!
Winning the trophy for three consecutive competitions will be an unprecedented honor and unparalleled pride!
As for whether it is Italy or Germany that stands in front of them, the Spaniards are still more concerned.
After the semi-finals on June 27, the Spanish general only rested for the night and flew out early the next day.
However, they did not fly to Kiev, Ukraine, where the final was held, but to Warsaw, Poland.
Because at 20:45 on June 28, another semi-final will be held in Warsaw.
The Spanish general will watch this game closely and study the opponents he may encounter in advance.
The quarter-finals match between Italy and England took place in Kiev, the same venue as the final.
The day after winning against England a few days ago, the entire Italian team rushed to Warsaw to prepare for the game.
However, downstairs in the hotel, Yun Sheng told the front desk in front of all the generals: "All rooms are reserved! After winning against Germany in the semi-finals, we will return to stay here and prepare for the European Cup finals here!"
After saying that, Yun Sheng led the team towards the bus without looking back. A group of handsome Italian guys behind him looked at Yun Sheng's back with excitement and admiration.
Third captain De Rossi poked Del Piero: "Del, was he also so domineering when he was coaching at Juventus?"
Del Piero said proudly: "Of course, he is the best coach in the world."
Gattuso's eyes were full of admiration: "Looks gentle and elegant, like a university professor, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant at heart. I like it, hahahaha!"
Cassano added: "I remember when I was in Cottbus, coach Yun Sheng had just debuted and didn't win any trophies, but he was also so arrogant, hahahaha!"
We won against England on June 24, flew to Warsaw on June 25, and conducted recovery training on June 26 and 27.
Plan to rest all day on the 28th and prepare for the evening game.
On the evening of the 27th, Yunsheng led the team to watch the semi-final between Spain and Portugal.
Seeing that Spain had the last laugh, Yun Sheng let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Spain won."
Cannavaro asked curiously: "Have you ever been a Spanish fan? Why do you look forward to Spain winning?"
Yun Sheng shrugged: "Because I don't want to sort out Portugal's player information anymore. After all, Spain is our group stage opponent, and we already know them very well, so I prefer to play against them."
Speed also agreed: "Yes, it is indeed a good thing to be able to play against Spain. It saves us a lot of trouble. As long as we successfully win the German team tomorrow, we will be able to meet Spain again. I have confidence in our Italian team! "
It was very late after the game. Yun Sheng asked everyone to go and have a rest. He stayed in the conference room for a while. Cannavaro and Speed stayed with Yun Sheng.
"Sir, why don't you go back and rest?"
"It's okay. I want to take a look at the German team's player information again and consider what changes they will have tomorrow."
"Sir, is there anything else the German team needs to prepare for? Tomorrow's game, well, isn't it a repeat of the Champions League final?"
All three laughed.
Yes, tomorrow's game is indeed too similar to this season's Champions League final.
Several players from both teams participated in the Champions League final.
Del Piero, Buffon, Pirlo, Chiellini, Barzagli and many other players in the Italian team are all the main players in Juventus' four-time champion.
In the German team, Ozil and Khedira are both Real Madrid players and started in the Champions League final; Metzelder was Juventus' main central defender and eventually won the Champions League trophy.
In this way, there are more than ten players who participated in the Champions League final in this semi-final - both starters and substitutes.
Yun Sheng looked at the information about the German team in his hand with a very serious expression: "This team is excellent in all three lines. There are almost no loopholes or weaknesses. They are all top players in Germany in every position. Tomorrow's game will definitely be a good one." A tough battle.”
"But what I'm most worried about is not this matter, but Del Piero's condition. Although he is recovering well now, to be on the safe side, I am still prepared to only let him play half a game. After all, I hope he can play in the final against Spain. Hold on longer. So in tomorrow's game, the Italian team without Del Piero in the second half will encounter the most difficult 45 minutes..."
