Chapter 370 Reaching the Final

Beginning on June 21, the European Championship will enter the semi-finals.Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the host Sweden successfully entered.The French team, which may be one of the favorites to win the championship, was eliminated.

The exit of the French team was somewhat surprising. The pillar of France was Michel Platini, who had already become the coach, but at this time he was troubled by many problems. His heart had already flown to the hosting of the 1998 World Cup.In the opening game against Sweden, France drew 1-1 with Papin's goal. Coach Platini complained: "Being a coach and being a player are not the same thing."

One thing the French nationals won't know is that a fitness coach made a stupid mistake.It is said that he chose a kind of ointment to apply to the players' feet. Two hours later, because he forgot to take off the ointment, Papin's ankle was severely burned by the ointment while he was sleeping.But the kind-hearted people in the country rushed to tell the story that Papan's foot was injured in the game.

After a 0-0 battle with a low-key England, France was even more passive.To reach the semi-finals, France must win their third match against Denmark.In fact, if Denmark wants to qualify, it must also beat France.As a result, Denmark actually won 2-1, and the dream of the French was shattered.Platini unequivocally stated his intention to resign. He was very disappointed and told his trusted friends that he would stay away from the position of head coach from now on.In this way, the Danish team reached the semi-finals.

In Group B, people are generally optimistic about the favorites Germany and the Netherlands. Germany, led by coach Vogts, tied the CIS 1-1 with Hassler's goal before the end and beat Scotland 2-0.The Netherlands first beat Scotland 1-0, and then tied the CIS 0-0.But in the third battle, the Dutch showed their prowess.In the face of Germany, which suffered a general injury due to a wrist bone injury, the Netherlands performed extremely well, and Rijkaard even showed his superb skills.In the 4th minute, Coman took a free kick and Rijkaard made a header; in the 15th minute, Wizheger scored directly.In the 53rd minute, Klinsmann pulled a goal back with a header for the German team.However, the Dutch team, leading 2 to 1, did not relax. In the 73rd minute, Bergkamp scored the third goal for the Netherlands with a graceful header 'shot'.In the end, the score was locked at 3-3.

Germany, despite losing to the Netherlands, reached the semi-finals and face hosts Sweden at the Rasunda Stadium in Solna on June 6.The young Sweden suffered a heavy blow in front of Germany.

With the advantage at home, Sweden hoped to create a reversal, but with Sammer starting, the German midfield was strengthened in depth.Germany used the three goals they lost to the Netherlands as motivation. In the 12th minute, Hassler scored a free kick that looked like Platini; in the 59th minute, Riedel made the icing on the cake; in the 88th minute, Riedel made another contribution .The tenacious Swede also scored a second goal in the 89th minute, but was unable to recover.In the end, Germany made it to the final again.It seems that the German team will face the Dutch team again in the final.

On June 6, almost all the seats in the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg were full in the afternoon. The semi-final between the Netherlands and Denmark was held here. All of Chen Kangjie and the others also came to the scene to cheer for the Danish team. Whether the next few hundred million dollars can become tens of billions of dollars is the key.For this match, Chen Kangjie also bet heavily, betting that the Danish team will win in the end.All this seems impossible, the strength of the Dutch team is too strong, and the strength of the Dutch team is most obvious in the order takers of the gaming companies.

On June 6st, the order takers of the three gaming companies suddenly received orders from different people to buy the Danish team to win. The single order ranged from tens of millions of dollars to tens of millions of dollars, adding up to hundreds of millions of dollars.

For large-value bets, the lower-level employees of the gaming company dare not take orders casually, and must report to the manager, because large-value bets may be "fucked" behind the scenes, which cannot be handled by the lower-level staff .When the managers saw that Denmark was the winner, of course they ordered to accept all the orders, which is similar to giving money.The world is optimistic about the Dutch team. There are millions of fans who choose the Dutch team to win this game, so the odds of the Dutch team are pulled down very low. If they all buy like this, they don't have much money at all Money is earned, now someone wants to sing the opposite tune and send money, of course it is welcome, just like when the game just started, there were fools who spent [-] million US dollars to buy the Danish team to win the championship. This is not a fairy tale Well.

On June 6th, the opening match of the European Championship had just started. William Hill and other bookmakers received Han Geng’s bet, 10 million US dollars to buy Denmark to win the championship. At that time, they offered odds of [-] to [-]. It was just the beginning, and with such an unreasonable bet, the directors of several companies held a special meeting to study and analyze to see if there might be a conspiracy in it.The final conclusion is that it is impossible, because the members of the Danish team have just been summoned from the resort, and the strength of the Dutch team and the German team is too different. In the face of strength, all conspiracies and tricks are futile.Therefore, the directors of the board of directors decided to accept the order, and how much to accept. This kind of money-giving thing, if you don't accept it, you will be struck by lightning.

It is for this reason that the managers below will accept the bet this time. At this time, the Danish team's winning odds have been reduced to 7 times. Although the reduction has been reduced a lot, the odds are still quite high.The odds of the Danish team winning today are 1 to 3. If the Dutch team loses, the bookmaker will have to pay 12 billion US dollars in compensation, which is not a small amount. However, no one in the managers thinks that is impossible. The U.S. dollar fell from the sky. After all, the Netherlands just defeated the already strong Germany 4-[-].

These people do not understand Chinese culture, otherwise they would be more cautious.Chinese culture does not believe in "pie falling from the sky".All things have a cause and effect, no one is a fool, let alone a large amount of money.

There was also a magical scene in this game.The Dutch players have no fear of Denmark, thinking that this is just a stop on the way to the final. In their eyes, Denmark is vulnerable.So at first they didn't send all the main players. They had to retain their strength and stamina to face the German team again.Even though they tied Germany 3:1 a few days ago, this does not mean that they are stronger than Germany. Two years ago, Germany only won the World Cup. 3:1 Possibility of retaliation 'resistance'.

But the Dutchman was wrong. The Dane had Laudrup Jr. who was just as good as his older brother.Because of this arrangement, the Dutch team did not control the audience in the opening game. The Danish team seized the opportunity. In the opening No. 303 minutes, under the assist and pass of Laudrup Jr., his teammates first broke through the Dutch team's goal.At this time, the head coach of the Dutch team was impatient, and quickly replaced three main players, especially forward Bergkamp who scored four goals in the qualifying stage. Bergkamp did not disappoint the head coach. Before the end of the first half, a breakthrough equalized the game for the Dutch team.

"Jie Shao, will the Danish team really beat the Dutch team?" Han Geng, who was sitting next to Chen Kangjie, was still a little worried.

Seeing the Danish team taking the lead before, everyone felt that Chen Kangjie’s prediction that the Danish team would win had a high probability of becoming a reality. However, the Dutch team responded immediately with 45 minutes left in the second half. , They believe that the Netherlands will never relax, and will definitely secure the victory quickly.

"Since I bought it to win, of course I believe it, otherwise why would I buy it? Isn't it just a tie now, why worry about it!" Chen Kangjie said a little relaxed.

In fact, Chen Kangjie's ease is only on the surface. The Dutch can quickly counterattack a goal, which also makes Chen Kangjie feel a little suspenseful. After all, he can be reborn, which does not mean that a little deviation will not happen. It is only verbal, and he still needs to show a relaxed and natural .

"Whether you lose or win, as I said before, it's just a game." Ouyang Zhenhua said it doesn't matter.

This guy is actually playing tricks. Even he can see that the strength of the Dutch team is much stronger than that of Denmark. Since the Dutch team changed players to strengthen the midfield and offense, the situation is basically under the control of the Dutch team, so The possibility of the Danish team losing is very high, but Denmark can reach the semi-finals after all, which surprised many people, so Ouyang Zhenhua didn't say anything dead.

A few minutes of intermission ended quickly. After the two sides exchanged venues, the second half of the competition began.Maybe it was a goal back, maybe it was because I really felt that I was super strong. At the beginning of the second half, the organization of the Dutch team relaxed again. The Danish team is a team that is good at finding and grasping opportunities. Under Rupp's organization and coordination, the Danish team once again broke through the Dutch team's goal. At this time, it was only more than five minutes before the start of the second half, which was equivalent to a direct slap in the face to the Dutch team.

The Dutch team was in a hurry immediately, and repeatedly organized strong attacks, but the Danish team fully shrunk their defense and did not give the Dutch team a chance at all. Coupled with the normal performance of the Danish goalkeeper Peter Schulcher, the Dutch team led a few times. All the threatening volleys were accurately saved, including two shots from Dutch star Van Basten.

At this time, the athletes on the court were anxious, the coaches were anxious, the tens of thousands of spectators in the stands were anxious, and even Chen Kangjie and the others were also anxious, but the direction of anxiety was different.Many spectators who supported the Dutch team shouted louder and louder. Finally, 2 minutes before the end of the game, the Dutch team scored a goal in the chaos and tied the score at 2-2.

After entering overtime, the Netherlands repeatedly missed scoring opportunities because they were anxious to win the game.In the eyes of everyone, Denmark, which has no chance, sees the hope of making it to the penalty shootout.

Denmark took the lead in the penalty shootout, and all 5 players made free throws. The top 4 Dutch players also made free throws, but Van Basten, who played fifth, became the key to the game. Chance, he missed the shot, and he was out of the game.Van Basten was destined to be unlucky when he met Schmeichel, but his very tricky shot was saved by goalkeeper Schmeichel.

The Danish team stopped the super favorites to win the championship in the semi-finals in a thrilling way, entered the finals by themselves, and met Germany.
