I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 214 Opening Battle Begins

After breakfast, Zhao Jinge and Royce started today's physical therapy and training.

At nine o'clock in the evening local time, the much-anticipated European Cup in France finally kicked off.

All the players of the German team enjoyed the opening game together in the hotel auditorium under the organization of head coach Joachim Loew.

At the end of the game, the host France defeated Romania 6-[-] amidst the cheers of more than [-] fans.

If it weren't for Payet's pass and shot, the Romanians would have been able to take a point away from the star-studded host with their tenacious defense.

"It's simply outrageous. The French team, which is going to start off with all the main players, was almost tied by a third-rate team like Romania. Don't these French guys want to win the championship at home?"

Seeing the rejoicing appearance of the Frenchman's surviving life, the young Sane sitting in the back row couldn't help but gloated at his teammates.

"What kind of third-rate teams, before they are sold, no one knows what the result will be. Are there few examples of upsets in major competitions these years?

The story of Greek fairy tales is still sung by every generation of fans. Don't laugh and laugh, until you find out that the worst object of ridicule is yourself! "

Veteran Schweinsteiger, who was sitting in the front row of Sane, turned his head and taught his little brother in the national team.

Zhao Jinge, who was sitting not far from them, heard the conversation between the old and the young, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the German national team still has a veteran who understands reason!

But why did she degenerate into that way in her previous life!
Not wanting to make progress, conflicts within the team, political performances, plus underestimating the enemy, one by one, the world's top team that will be ridiculed the most in European football after [-] years is probably the German team!

That was really regarded as a negative teaching material, and it became a classic laughing cake that fans say they hate iron but not steel!

However, to be honest, Zhao Jinge himself did not have a hint of underestimating the enemy.

After all, in the original time and space of history, the German team also successfully qualified for the first place in the group. Although they drew with Poland in the middle, that was also the result of the German team's kicking.

Before I knew it, I really didn't take the three opponents in the group stage seriously.

After going smoothly for nearly two seasons, Zhao Jinge suddenly found that he was indeed a little drifting.

They didn't even start the group stage. When I had dinner with Royce this morning, I was thinking of relying on three relatively weak opponents to win the European Cup Golden Boot.

The idea of ​​taking out a loan for the Golden Boot came up, and it seemed that he really needed to reflect on it. The lesson of underestimating the enemy and being careless was laid before him bloody.

While Zhao Jinge was thinking about himself, after seeing the French team's hard-fought victory, head coach Joachim Loew immediately struck while the iron was hot, giving the German players a wave of ideological education.

"After watching this opening match, do you still have the intention to underestimate your opponent?"

"Don't think I don't know, in fact, including me, everyone present took it for granted that we qualified first in the group.

Why do we have such an idea? It is because the enemy is weak and we are strong, and there are several of our previous defeats. "

"But one thing I have to emphasize now is that football is not a game that depends on the strength of the mission on paper!
On-the-spot performance, tactical restraint, good or bad luck, competition of will, examples of weak teams relying on solid defense to fight back against strong teams and underestimate the enemy abound.

All victories on paper are not victories, the real numbers on the scoreboard are the proof of our victory!

You are laughing at the French today, maybe in a few days the French will laugh at us!

Stay focused, don't relax, if anyone still has the idea of ​​​​looking down on your opponent, then watch the video of the French team today. "

"We can't afford to lose any of the three games in the group stage. Think about the promise we made to the domestic fans. If we get upset, everyone present will be the sinners of Germany!"

What Loew said was very serious, and the German players present also felt the same way, including Sane and other young people who were absent-minded before and felt that they were ready to qualify. , it is unknown.

In the following games, the debut battles of each team also started one after another.

In the afternoon of the second day, the battle between the other two teams in Group A resumed. Relying on Swiss Messi Shaqiri's precise through kick after breaking through in the 5th minute of the game, Switzerland assisted Scheer to score. Fortunately, they scored [-]-[-]. The score beat Albania in the same group.

Then in the later game, St. Bell's big shot in Group B led the European Red Dragon Wales to a [-]-[-] victory over Slovakia.

Then another game in Group B, England and Russia drew [-]-[-].

At this time, there was a dramatic scene in the real-time standings of Group B. England's younger brother Wales countered the big brother, which undoubtedly deeply hurt the nerves of England's arrogance.

Fleet Street directly took the lead in criticizing the performance of the England team, believing that their performance in recent years has directly disgraced the Three Lions.

However, to be honest, before the World Cup in [-], the England team had nothing to do with a strong team in the traditional sense. Every year it carried a huge name, but looking at the results, good guy, even the record of the quarter-finals was rare Poor!
The European Cup group stage has just started, and the name of England's European Chinese team has once again been talked about by all Chinese fans.

And even after [-] years, the England team, whose strength has rebounded sharply, still failed to complete their dream of rebuilding their glory.

In terms of losing the chain, the England team definitely has Arsenal's glorious tradition!

In Group D, the strong recovery of Croatia, under the leadership of Modric, defeated the Crescent Army Turkey [-]-[-].

The result of the game made the Turkish players in the German team a little unhappy. 272 ​​directly put on his mother's face while watching the game, and Gundogan also showed a worried look.

In this regard, Zhao Jinge can only express that everything that has happened in the future has been foreshadowed in all the past days.

Then, in the same Group C match, Poland, which started the battle first, unsurprisingly won a small victory over Northern Ireland.

Since the start of the game, there have been upsets and draws, but there have been no big wins with obvious score differences. All games have been small wins by one goal.

This made everyone realize that even after the expansion of the European Cup, the strength of the group stage has increased a lot, but it is really not as simple as the fans imagined!
June NO.12, in the evening, three hours after the match between Poland and Northern Ireland, the match between Germany and Ukraine was officially staged.

The opening time of the game that day was eleven o'clock in the evening. At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the players of the German team had already left the hotel and went to the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium in the center of Lille.

Before leaving the hotel, all the players of the German team had their final pre-match physiotherapy.

When the bus drove out of the hotel, the German fans gathered outside surrounded them again, and Zhao Jinge had to admire their perseverance.

In order to be able to accompany their team, many German fans even set up tents directly near the hotel. It can only be said that their enthusiasm for football has been hardened to the bone.

"Hello to all German fans, here is the live broadcast of the match brought to you by Sky Sports Germany."

"Here is the 2016 European Cup in France, the match between Germany and Ukraine in Group C!"

"At this time, the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium, which can accommodate more than 5 fans, is already full!"

"There is still an hour before the game starts, but now our voices have been covered by the horror of the German fans at the scene!"

"Pierre-Mauroy Stadium, fans who follow the French League One should be familiar with it!"

"This stadium, built in [-], has always been the home ground of the Ligue [-] team Lille, but the modern stadium in front of us was confirmed as the venue for this year's European Cup in France in [-]. , rebuilt.

The original old stadium, because it can only accommodate 17 fans, does not meet UEFA's competition specifications, so it was rebuilt. "

"We can see that, except for some local French residents, most of the tickets and even a large part of the neutral tickets were bought by richer German fans.

The Ukrainian fans at the scene were less than one-third of the German fans.

Before the start of the game, the Ukrainian fans had been strongly suppressed by the German fans in a small area of ​​the scene. At this time, the Pierre Maurois Stadium seemed to have become a sea of ​​German fans.

The enthusiastic German fans directly turned this stadium into the home field of the German team, which is definitely good news for the players of the German team.

I hope they can maintain this advantage in the subsequent games, successfully defeat the Ukrainian team, and get a festive start to this year's European Cup! "

In the locker room of the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium, the head coach Joachim Loew stood in front of the tactical board with his face centered, arranging the last tactics for his players before the start of the game.

"Draxler, you still train as usual. After receiving the ball from the left, you have to bring the ball to the opposite half as soon as possible, and then either hand it over to the 272 in the middle for offensive organization.

Either hand it to Zhao!
Zhao, you can choose to hit the goal or hand the ball over depending on the form on the field! "

"The middle lane where Zhao Jinge is located will definitely be the key area for the Ukrainian team to deploy.

So, at the beginning of this game, Zhao, you first go back and forth in the opponent's control area several times to paralyze the opponent.

Then wait for the pass from your teammates, as long as you see an opportunity, don't hesitate, I can give you unlimited fire rights! "

"Thomas, you need to be responsible for our attack on the right flank, break through, create threats, pass the ball in the middle and long distance, the attack on the right depends on you.

In addition, your task is to choose the most appropriate time to pass the ball to Zhao in the middle! "

"We need to know that although our opponents are ranked No.30 in the world, and this is their first European Cup after a few years, their strength should not be underestimated.

You must know that they beat Greece in the group stage of the qualifiers and directly advanced as the first in the group. "

"The Ukrainian team's offensive method is mainly the long-range shot from behind the midfielder. As a center, their center Zozulia is more of a fulcrum. Of course, his header and shooting ability are not bad.

However, compared to our strikers, their strikers are not very lethal, and we need to pay more attention to their ability to score goals on set kicks.

You need to pay attention to one thing. In the recent European Cup qualifiers, the most common method for the Ukrainian team to score goals is to use set kicks and corner kicks to score goals with headers from central defenders and forwards!
Therefore, the defense of the defense against set kicks is our top priority in today's game.

In the situation on the side, we must be the main attacker and the Ukrainians are the main defender. If they want to get more offensive opportunities, they must seize the loopholes left by our offense.

In other words, we must pay attention to the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions, and we must also pay attention to the control of the ball while attacking.

After losing the ball in the offense, it is necessary to counter-grab immediately to slow down the opponent's counterattack and not give the Ukrainians a chance to get close to our defensive core area.

Minimize their chances of getting free kicks and corners and get past their defense as quickly as possible without conceding a goal.

Facing the dense defense that the Ukrainians will definitely put on, I need everyone on the offensive line to show their best form, as a member of the German tank, crush them! "

Before the game, Loew kept emphasizing that the German team should not be careless.

At this time, in another locker room, Ukrainian coach Fomenko looked much more serious than Loew.

"Keep an eye on Zhao Jinge! It's not just him!"

"And that Thomas Muller!"

"Be sure to prevent the German team's long-range shot!"

"And their midfielders!"

"Hell, why are we facing the damn German team in our first game!"

The pressure brought by a powerful opponent made the old Fomenko keep making his players keep an eye on this one and that one.

But looking at the faces of Alexander in front of him, Fomenko finally sighed helplessly.

"Enjoy our European Cup!"

This sentence finally relieved the Ukrainian players who were under great pressure.

“现在是当地时间2016年6月12日23:00分！”

"The players of the two teams have already stood in their respective halfs after completing the side-guessing ceremony!"

"The referee is watching his watch! Today's referee is Atkinson from the Premier League. The referee's reputation is not particularly good among fans who follow the Premier League. I hope he can enforce a high-quality game today." Contest."
