The Era of Emerald

Zidane or Micoud?This is a problem.

To be honest, if it weren't for the limiting factor of financial balance in Juventus, Moggi really wanted to take out the checkbook and sign all these two players to Juventus, so that these two players could compete in real life in the team. The winner will be the main force, and the loser will be the substitute.

But this is obviously just a beautiful dream. After all, it is impossible for Juventus to agree to pay the same high transfer fee for two players with overlapping positions. Spending a lot of money is not in line with the current business strategy of the Bianconeri.

Moji is not like Zhuang Mingge either, he didn't come from time travel, so of course Moji doesn't know the gap between Zidane and Micoud in terms of future level and achievements. From the video, it can be seen that the performance of the two is almost the same, Zidane Nei now does not have the domineering spirit after winning the World Cup, so Moggi is now making such a difficult situation.

When Moggi was thinking hard about the candidates for the midfielder, the European Cup held in England had already decided the semi-finals, and the Netherlands, Croatia, Spain and Portugal fell outside the semi-finals.

So far, Djorkaeff is the only Fiorentina player who is still participating in this European Cup.

Davis is still so unlucky. He was an honest man in the club, but he was kicked out of the national team by the coach Hiddink because he was rude to the head coach Guus Hiddink. this contest.

France vs Czech Republic

England vs Germany

The above is the situation of the semi-finals of the European Cup.

At Old Trafford on June 6, the Gallic Rooster, who sent the Dutchman back home through a penalty shootout, also fell to twelve yards this time. Pedros, the sixth penalty shooter of the French team ( reynaldpedros) missed the penalty and could only watch the Czechs, who participated in the European Cup for the first time, enter the final (the period of Czechoslovakia is not included).

On the same day, the Anglo-German battle ended with a penalty kick. The English were full of energy to face the German chariot, but as the hosts, they finally fell on the penalty spot.England made five of six free throws and performed well. Unfortunately, they encountered an even more perverted German. They made all six free throws, which brought the host's dream of winning the European Cup to an abrupt end.

And the Germans also had to face an embarrassing situation after this war, that is, there are only 14 players left in their team who can play in the finals, and three of them are goalkeepers...

To say that the German team is unlucky enough in this cup. The main striker Basler retired due to injury before the group stage. Jurgen Kohler was injured and left the field just 13 minutes into the first game of the group stage. , After the game, he also announced his withdrawal from the European Cup.

After the Germans managed to get out of the group stage, the quarter-finals against Croatia was another game full of red and yellow cards. The game was extremely fierce. In the end, the Germans paid three yellow cards and five people were injured. It took a heavy price to risk advancing to the semi-finals.

After the semi-final against England, the German general Froude was injured and could not participate in the next final. Andres Müller and Reuter received a yellow card in the semi-final. As a result, two yellow cards accumulated and missed the final.

Although the versatile left-winger Marko Bode and the teenager Rene Schneider (playing for Rostock's defender, not the familiar midfielder Schneider) made a comeback, God knows that the injured two were in the final. What is the state of the game, so the German coach Vogts had to put the two on the bench to make up the number.

In response to the special situation in Germany where the 18-man roster is not complete, UEFA made a special allowance for the Germans this time, allowing them to temporarily recruit three players from China as substitutes.However, the Germans rejected UEFA's good intentions. In other words, the Germans with a strong character disdain to use this method to win the final victory.

So, on the day of the European Cup final, all the fans who watched the game saw a shocking scene. The German team actually only filled in the names of sixteen players on the squad list (two of them were also Some minor injuries), the only reliable non-goalkeeper on the bench is Bierhoff from Udinese in Serie A, and even the two substitute goalkeepers Kahn and Reick of the German team wore The special jersey is ready to come off the bench as an outfield player.

Although Germany won the Czech Republic [-]-[-] in the first match of the group stage, for this European Cup final, most of the media before the game expressed their optimism about the Czech Republic. After all, compared with Germany, which is full of wounded soldiers and whose status is unknown And the Czech Republic, which has even overcome strong enemies (Italy, Portugal, France), is obviously more hopeful of winning the final victory.

Even the domestic media in Germany are not optimistic about their own team, but they cannot support the Czech Republic due to their stance, so they have to cautiously say that if the German players can perform at 120% in the final, maybe the final victory

Look at what this said, what is the difference from admitting that the Czech Republic won the championship...

At the same time, Zhuang Mingge, Karin, Rebecca and others also watched the final in the villa in Florence.

"The Czech Republic is really lucky. It can win the championship for the first time in the European Cup." Rebecca said with some envy.

It's no wonder why Italy, a traditional football power, has only won the European Cup once (1968) so far?What's more, the Czech Republic is also the culprit for Italy's early exit, so it is understandable that Rebecca would make such remarks.

"Hehe, Rebecca, don't be so absolute about everything, football is round, and no one can guarantee the final result until the last moment, otherwise the gaming company would have stopped operating football-related business." Zhuang Mingge felt a little emotional Looking at the Czech players who have already played, this Czech team broke out the most dazzling colors in this cup, and then fell into a long silence. Among the eleven starting players, only Nedved finally became a generation of superstars. Others, including Poborski, who was the most popular at this time, did not reach the heights they should have due to various reasons.

This is the cruelty of professional football. A group of extremely talented players emerge every year, but very few of them can become talents in the end. There are many influencing factors, such as changes in the growth environment, the personality of the players themselves, injury problems, etc. etc., will affect a player's future development trajectory.

Do you want to save some of them yourself?

Just when Zhuang Mingge was thinking wildly, the European Cup final was announced at the referee's whistle!

After the start of the game, the strong Czech Republic quickly took the initiative on the field. Poborski and Nedved continued to attack from the two wings, consuming the little remaining physical energy of the German players, and their strategies were also responded. Some effects.

In the 59th minute, Poborski, who had shined in this European Cup, broke into the penalty area. Sammer accidentally brought down the Czech No. 8. The referee sentenced the German team to the death penalty for making a big mistake. Patrick Borg made a penalty and the Czech Republic took the lead [-]-[-].

So far, everything has been as predicted by the media and experts, and the balance of victory is constantly tilting towards the young Czech.

Vogts, who had nothing to do, had to switch to the last reliable card in his hand. He replaced Sauer, who was already exhausted, with Bierhoff.

Except for Zhuang Mingge, no one could have imagined that it was Vogts' substitution that changed the course of the entire game...
