News after news flooded social platforms.
Everyone’s biggest impression after watching this is...there are no miracles in this European Cup!
France, England, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Wales, Italy.
Except for Wales and Italy, the other six teams are all teams that everyone predicted before the game.
Even Wales cannot be said to be unexpected, because his opponents are Poland and Switzerland.
Switzerland has always been a strong team, but this team has never won any major championships. They will always be a supporting role.
Not to mention Poland, the famous team in the competition.
Basically, among the eight teams that qualified, only the Italian team was not predicted to qualify.
They dragged the French and Portuguese teams into the abyss, and finally stepped on the Portuguese team to come out.
In terms of quantity, this is the European Cup in which most people have the highest accuracy in guessing the qualifying teams, so people say there are no miracles.
But...if you look at the Italian team, then they have already created a miracle in this European Cup.
Many people shouted the slogan "The Miracle of Sanremo has succeeded again".
After Manero took office, everyone's highest expectation for him was to lead the team into the knockout rounds.
But that's the highest expectation.
In fact, after drawing with the French team, even if the Italian team did not qualify, the fans would be very satisfied.
Even if the Russian team loses three games in a row, although the fans will yell and curse, Manero's coaching position is actually very stable and will not be shaken at all.
This is enough to show that everyone knows how serious the problem is in the Italian team.
But who would have thought that the situation would be like this?
No one could find fault with the performance of this Italian team.
Among them, the Italian youngster Lu Yang, who participated in the European Cup for the first time, was particularly outstanding.
Seven goals in three games, leading the scorer list!
In order to maintain the order of the team, he refused to take a penalty kick when he scored twice! It can be called a model of ethics and rules and regulations within the team!
The imaginative super lob at the last moment broke the personal record for the longest goal and completed a hat trick at the same time. This is more dramatic than the movie!
If we say that two consecutive 2+1 games have made Lu Yang recognized by more people in the circle.
So this time 3+1 has completely made people who know him recognize him.
Countless children who like football have abandoned their first love of football and become fans of Lu Yang.
Similar to "What? You actually want me to take a penalty kick? No, it's impossible! A real strong man doesn't need a penalty kick!", "Penalty kicks don't count as goals, I never disdain them, and neither do I!", "Coach, I don't want to be the first point shooter anymore, I want to be Lu, not Ancarelli!" Words like this abound.
Countless older generation players and fans were dumbfounded.
Do young people today have worries in their minds?
No penalty kicks?
Go crazy!
But you have to say, saying this is really touching!
"It's impossible for him not to take penalty kicks all the time. Maybe he will take them if there is a penalty kick in the next game!" Some people think that everyone exaggerated Lu Yang's behavior of giving up penalty kicks, just like Kong Rong gave up pears. .
What if Lu Yang couldn't eat anymore?
What if he felt that the penalty kick was too stressful?
What if he wasn't feeling well at the time?
These doubts are not very strong, but there are always some people who hold such ideas.
They cannot accept that something they value so dearly can be cherished without any fuss.
They must find some reasons to convince themselves to accept this reality, otherwise their conceptual system will be greatly challenged.
Therefore, a gambling company actually started a handicap: "The next time the Italian team has a penalty kick, will Lu Yang refuse it? What about the next time?"
Among them, the most people would not refuse even if they choose. They believe that once Lu Yang takes a penalty kick, it will be impossible for anyone else to take the penalty kick. Lu Yang will hold on to this right and dominate it for several years just like Ancarelli.
Some people will refuse even if they choose.
Others chose to refuse next time but not the next time. I won’t refuse next time, and I will next time.
Various answers, various combinations.
Some people try to buy everything possible, guaranteed not to lose money.
But after calculation, it was found that if you buy everything possible, you will also lose some handling fees.
The banker is always the one who wins.
…
Just when everyone was having a heated discussion about the top eight qualifying teams, the knockout draw ceremony added fuel to the discussion.
"Spain...Wales!"
The Spanish fans are ecstatic, this is the softest persimmon among the top eight!
"Germany...Holland!"
The German fans and the Dutch fans looked at each other, this is a tough nut to crack.
"Belgium...France!"
The Belgian fans were extremely depressed because they were drawn against the host country France, and France's strength was also ranked among the top three!
too difficult!
At the same time, England fans jumped up with excitement, walked out of their rooms one by one, ran around with their friends on the streets, and celebrated enthusiastically!
Italy!
England actually got the second weakest persimmon, Italy!
This is simply a sign!
Don't look at the famous game between Italy and Portugal.
But there is one thing to say. Anyone who watched that game knows that Portugal lost a bit unjustly.
As long as Portugal's left wing was stronger and they took up the banner after Madeira was frozen by Prasedes, why would Portugal be chased by Italy for so many goals?
Moreover, Plasedes's condition is really explosive. He was originally beaten by Madeira, but in the last 30 minutes, he seemed to be ten years younger, playing to the level of the world's number one left back.
But can Praxedes still be able to display this kind of strength in the next game?
The English didn't believe it.
Speaking of which, it doesn’t matter whether the England team and the Italian team had any enmity before, but last year, they had an enmity.
European Youth Championship!
The England National Youth Team, which originally had a high reputation for winning the championship, did not even make it out of the group stage, and was beaten by the Italian National Youth Team.
And the top core player of the Italian national youth team was suddenly Lu Yang, who now has a special status in the Italian national team!
As for England, Manchester City player Jesse Raheem finally succeeded in taking over the club this season.
He also appeared in this European Cup due to his excellent performance at the club and the injuries to players competing for the same position.
He is England's left midfielder.
And Mancini, who moved to Barcelona for a whopping €40 million last year, is now England's starting forward.
As for the Italian team, Moric, Kanyes, Lahm, Cortino, Areola, and Soger are all old acquaintances of them.
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.
This time the English media really want to do something practical for the national team.
Every time the England team comes back defeated and fails to achieve the results that everyone expected, someone will throw the blame on the English media.
This European Chinese team really disappoints people.
The England team has almost no peak, because they are at the peak every year and every session, and they can always put together a luxurious all-star lineup.
Then just when everyone thought they were going to kill everyone, they suddenly went offline.
Therefore, English fans and even fans around the world set the goal for England every year to be the semi-finals or the championship.
Reporter: "Ancarelli, what do you think of the penalty kick you missed?"
Did you see it? The journalists in England took action.
This is why many teams isolate themselves from outside news before games.
This kind of off-board move is really cheap.
Especially if there are some conflicts within the team, these bad guys can ignite the flames in minutes and cause the entire team to collapse.
The French team and Belgium are both known as infighting teams.
Although there are conflicts within them that are difficult to reconcile, it is related to the outside world's targeting of their conflicts.
Who makes them so powerful that others are very afraid of them?
Ancarelli looked at the reporter in front of him with some dissatisfaction: "Which newspaper are you from?"
The reporter said: "The Sun."
Ancarelli sneered: "Haha! Impossible! I read every issue of The Sun. They never ask questions about football. They only focus on gender topics."
After being exposed, the reporter was not embarrassed and said: "We are from The Times. Can you answer my question now? About the penalty kick? Of course, you also have the right not to answer."
Ancarelli has been famous for a long time and has been on the battlefield for a long time. How can he not be able to handle such a small scene?
What's more.
He does have some words to say to the media.
Ancarelli said: "I feel very guilty for missing that penalty kick. My penalty kick status has not been very good recently."
Reporter: "Yes, you missed two free throws in a row...then will the head coach deprive you of the right to take penalty kicks? I think Lu Yang is very stable in taking penalty kicks. He has not taken any penalty kicks yet." Throw it away!"
The picture is poor and the dagger can be seen.
The reporter flashed his knife.
However, Ancarelli said: "I don't know, but I support letting Lu Yanglai become the team's penalty kicker. After the game, I already told coach Manero that I wanted to withdraw from penalty kicks." It’s about the free throw shooter sequence.”
The reporter was stunned.
What's the meaning?
Ancarelli...don't argue?
The reporter couldn't believe it. Is this still the same Ancarelli who is determined to take revenge?
"you……"
"For the victory of the Italian team, I am willing to give everything in the team!" Ancarelli declared in a high-profile manner, and then left.
After turning around, Ancarelli felt a lot more relaxed.
If he didn't mean to be interviewed, how could he have been intercepted by a Times reporter?
Did the other party really think that Ancarelli would not have this experience?
Ancarelli’s interview sparked a lot of discussion.
"Atmospheric, Ancarelli is so atmospheric."
"Back from the rapids, Ancarelli made the right decision."
"It's right to take it slow. His recent penalty kick form is too bad. It would be bad for everyone if he continues."
"Don't tell me, Lu Yang is indeed a player with a big heart and is suitable for penalty points."
"Actually, Moric's footwork is also pretty good."
"After Ancarelli, the penalty kick should belong to Perrotta, right?"
"Fenger is also the number one penalty taker at Inter Milan!"
"Finger is already on the bench, why should he take any shots?"
"Plascedes' penalty kicks are also very stable."
"Why is it that when Ancarelli puts down his burden, it becomes difficult to score the penalty kick?"
"Perrotta is the most convincing, and he is a striker. But Lu Yang's performance is too good, and his voice is also very high. But Lu Yang is inexperienced after all. If he takes a penalty kick, he may not be able to convince the crowd. Other players should have opinions. Yes." Some experts gave professional opinions.
Meeting room for Italian team players and coaching staff.
"I have no objection." Pellegrini raised his hand as he spoke.
"No objection." Derek raised his hand.
"I support letting Lu Lai take the penalty," Bernoulini said.
"No objection." Kievich, Audi and others followed suit.
"I have no objection either." Perrotta also had no objection.
Passed almost unanimously.
Since then, the Italian team's first penalty kicker has been determined to be... Lu Yang!
This is the first time Lu Yang has held such a clear responsibility.
He said he still has some pressure, but he will try his best.
The first penalty kicker sometimes not only takes penalty kicks, but also knows how to distribute penalties reasonably, so that the team can be more harmonious.
Some players must take continuous penalty kicks to maintain their penalty rights. Once given away, it will be difficult to take back the penalty rights.
This means that player actually has no control over the team.
The first penalty kicker who truly has absolute control is the one who dares to share the penalty rights with his teammates at the appropriate time.
For example, if someone scores twice after waiting for a thousand years, he will count on a penalty hat trick.
It is certainly your duty not to give to others at this time, but it also hurts your feelings.
In football, professionalism is very important.
But any professionalism that puts aside subjective love and hate is nonsense.
Because people simply cannot abandon their subjective emotions and feelings, so what the heck are robots!
…
Before the game between England and Italy, players from both sides received some comments about their opponents and their opinions on the game.
Liverpool captain Gerondo: "Lu Yang is a phenomenal young player. His mental attributes are very strong, which inspired me. We will never take it lightly when we play against them, because they will never admit defeat!"
Arsenal forward Walter: "Italy's defense is very strong, and with Lu Yang's sweep, the biggest difficulty for us in the next game against them should be how to tear apart their defense. I am very fast, and I am sure that I can do this." A little, but the premise is that I can’t be entangled by Lu!”
Arsenal center back White: "Italy's forward line is no longer the same. They showed very sharp offensive capabilities in this European Cup. Especially Lu, he is very difficult to guard. This will be a major test for England's defense. !”
Arsenal left back Ashley Gordon: "I have played against Kanyes, and he is still too young. But the existence of Lu Yang may become the biggest trouble for England's two wings. We have to avoid him. The good news is that Walter and I are on one side, and Lu Yang can only choose one."
Arsenal goalkeeper Maduk: "I am in good condition and I am confident that I can save any football. But I personally don't want Lu Yang to get a chance to shoot. Even if you save his ball, your hands will be very uncomfortable." "
Maduk looked like he had saved Lu Yang's shot.
But according to statistics, in the Europa League final between Arsenal and Sanremo, Maduk faced three shots from Lu Yang and failed to save them even once, so that Lu Yang won the Europa League on him. Cup and its final, the youngest hat-trick honor.
Everyone who had fought against Lu Yang was full of praise for Lu Yang, and their words were full of fear.
But players who have never played against Lu Yang cannot take Lu Yang so seriously.
Chelsea midfielder Frank Redclapp said: "Lu Yang is very good, but he is only 19 years old after all. I am very aware of the problems of this type of players. Their performance is always not stable enough. What we should really pay attention to is Players like Ancarelli, Praxedes, Pellegrini, Finger."
Manchester United superstar Wayne McLoughlin: "I know this kid. There have been many reports in the media that Manchester United will take him away, but from the news I know, Manchester United does not have to have him. He is just one of Manchester United's many targets. That’s it, he’s not special.”
Chelsea captain Tesri: "I'm a land player, and I like his toughness. But I have to say, I can't make a higher evaluation of him before I play against him."
"Because the adult arena is not Serie C or Serie D. I will give him Premier League-level pressure, and I hope he will not resent me for this."
Manchester United right back O'Shea Neville: "If the Lu you are talking about can kick me out, then I will immediately and desperately suggest that Manchester United take him away this summer window, and I will do my best to facilitate this."
"But if he can't do it, I hope everyone will stop coming to me to ask what they think of him. I don't think any young player can be better than Mancini."
Because of the large number of media, the various opinions of England players were all reported.
The Italian players, on the other hand, mainly expressed their belief that they must not win. After all, they are at a disadvantage in terms of strength and are not easy to speak out.
In this eight-to-four matchup, everyone is more optimistic about England reaching the next round.
There is also Spain, which has also caught a soft persimmon.
From this point forward, predicting the winner becomes easier.
"England and Spain have a greater chance of winning because their opponents in this round are weaker and they can recharge their batteries."
"The French team did not gain much advantage at their home court, and their luck in signing was not good. The chance they had previously promoted to win the championship on home soil now seems to be slim."
This became a mainstream view.
The quarter-finals are played over two days, completely staggered.
This is different from the group stage. In the group stage, factors such as tacit matches and match-fixing must be prevented, and the excitement of the final round must be created. Therefore, many games, especially the final round, must be played at the same time.
But every game in the knockout round has nothing to do with anyone else. The loser is eliminated immediately. It is exciting enough and does not require more external pressure.
The first game is between Spain and Wales.
The results of the game also reflected the public's expectations of them very accurately.
Spain easily won 2-0 with goals from Talista from Sanremo in Serie A and Fernando Dominguez from Atletico Madrid in La Liga.
Among them, Talista performed very well as a substitute. He has scored three goals in a very limited game time.
His biggest problem is that he was born at the wrong time.
In other words, it’s not famous enough!
On Spain's front line, Barcelona's golden midfielder Ortiz serves as the left winger of the national team because Spain does not have excellent wingers.
This sounds ridiculous, because La Liga is a paradise for wingers, but there are no powerful wingers in Spain!
Talista is the center forward. Although he also scored a goal from the left wing position, the Spanish coach still thinks it is a pity to put a player with obvious talent like Ortiz on the bench.
Similarly, Henriquez, who is on the right wing, is much more famous than Talista, and he is a winger in Real Madrid and is the most orthodox winger in the Spanish team.
As for the center position, Fernando Dominguez from Atletico Madrid is one of the few top center players in Spain. It is impossible for Talista to squeeze out Dominguez. It will never be possible.
Therefore, Talista, the little overlord of Serie A, was miserable in Spain's frontcourt.
Often only one of these three players can be replaced during substitute time.
It's really sad.
Inter players applauded this.
Wicked people will find their way. If you are so arrogant in the club, you can be arrogant in the national team!
Rubbish that bullies the weak and fears the strong!
Even during the phone call with Talista, Lu Yang asked him if he needed to tell the media about Talista's greatness and let the Spanish coach be smarter. It would be better to make Talista the main player. ?
Talista almost fell to his knees.
Brother Lu, don’t do it, this is the national team.
You can do whatever you want in the club, whether it’s a good place to start or a good place to go, there’s always something suitable.
If the national team really loses its reputation and people angrily announce that they will never hire him, where will Talista go?
China?
Don't say it, it's fine if Talista doesn't say it. Once he said it, Lu Yang really considered the feasibility of this matter.
If Talista is planned, qualifying for the Asian Cup and World Cup qualifiers...not to mention it is really possible!
It’s that clause that requires eight years before playing for the next country that is so deceptive.
Eight years later, how useful will the thirty-four-year-old Talista be? Well...it can also sweep the national football team.
No, you have to let FIFA change this, and it will take at least four years, otherwise the shit-eating national football team will not be able to keep up with the hot ones.
Of course, it's all talk, don't joke about planning, plans that are not related by blood are even more nonsense.
Going back to this European Cup, the later match between France and Belgium surprised people.
Everyone thought that the French team would face a major challenge. After all, the opponent was Belgium, the European red devil. They are increasingly known as the second all-star team in the Premier League.
But I didn’t expect Belgium to succeed in the Premier League and lose in the Premier League.
Because there are so many stars playing in the Premier League, Belgium's lineup is very well-known and strong.
But they also absorbed the habits of England and became the second team of the Chinese team in Europe.
Thunder, little rain.
The French team defeated Belgium 5-2!
Qi Zuo shot and passed twice! Five assists, temporarily ranking first in the assists list!
Robbery kicked his second hat trick in this European Cup, pushing his personal goal tally to six goals, only one goal away from Lu Yang! Well-deserved to be the number one left winger in the world!
The French team advanced to the semi-finals, never missed the promise of thousands of local fans, and continued to attack the championship!
So next, who among the England and Italy teams will become the person who talks nonsense and be ridiculed by thousands of people and insulted by thousands of people?
