Although after the game, Camacho was still chattering about the penalty that Corina did not award to Spain in the first half, thinking that Zidane blocked Guardiola's cross with his elbow was definitely a deliberate act. Rina made a wrong penalty and so on, but most people believe that Raul, who missed the key penalty kick, should bear the inescapable responsibility for the Matador's exit!

After all, compared with Zidane's dominant performance in this game, Real Madrid idol Raul's performance tonight obviously does not meet people's expectations of him, especially the missed shot at a critical moment is enough to help Spain The penalty kick that equalized the score made the Spanish golden boy even more eclipsed.

However, no matter what people say or what controversies exist in the game, after Spain was declared out, the top four list of this European Cup is finally released!

Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and France, these four teams are about to compete fiercely for a ticket to the European Cup final!

At the same time, those international players who have bid farewell to the European Cup have also received a large number of team invitations after finishing the national team competition.Especially players like Mendieta, Zahovic, and Chivu who have performed well in the European Cup have become popular in the transfer market!

After the big game, there must be a big deal. This has been a normal thing in international football for a long time.

That's a long way off, now let's get down to business, and after another short three-day break, the semi-finals of the European Cup kicked off.

The first start was the duel between France and Portugal. The Gaul Rooster, with a well-organized and united lineup and strong players on three lines, and the Portuguese national team with the golden generation as the core launched a fierce battle at the King Baudouin Stadium. competition.

Although Portugal took the lead with a goal from the team's top scorer Nuno Gomez in the No. 19 minute, the tenacious Frenchman pulled one back from Thierry Henry 1 minute into the second half and put the field on the field. The score was tied at one to one!

After scoring the equalizing goal for the team, Henry himself seemed very excited.After all, in the season that just passed, the talented striker's performance at Juventus can only be described as miserable-only four goals in 25 league appearances. Any striker will be regarded as an out-and-out parallel importer!

Of course, pure blue-collar forwards like Husky, who have more tactical significance, are excluded, because the meaning of their existence is not to score goals, but to serve as human shields for teammates around them, playing a role of containment and stretching space, and scoring Not their main task.

Next, in the rest of the time, the two teams fought each other on the field, but they failed to break through the opponent's goal again, so the game entered the overtime stage!

After entering overtime, the players on both sides were extremely cautious and adopted a strategy of seeking stability on the court.After all, unlike before, the overtime now adopts the golden ball system, which is the sudden death method.If there is an omission by accident, there is no room for recovery.

Therefore, for many teams now, after entering overtime, they would rather choose to defend rather than take the initiative to attack, because taking the initiative means that the opponent will get more shots, and the chance of sudden death is naturally lower. It's a lot bigger.

It has to be said that although there are flaws in the forward line, the Portuguese golden generation who are at their peak do have the ability to compete for the heavyweight championship. Under the leadership of Figo, he responded calmly and pushed the game to a penalty shootout.

The French, who are well aware of Portugal's intentions, naturally don't want to make their opponents happy.Although Portugal has not had any outstanding results in penalty kicks in recent years, France is not very good at penalty kicks, because only a few people in their team, such as Zidane and Djorkaeff, are in the penalty area. On the surface, it is still reliable, but if five people are selected, it will be difficult to say.

Therefore, compared to Portugal, which is focused on dragging the game into a penalty kick, France is more active on the offensive end.However, taking the initiative to attack does not mean that you will be able to gain accordingly. Portugal, under the instigation of Costa and Figo, took advantage of the gaps of the French team to attack and hit a few counterattacks. It also created a lot of threats.

The minutes passed, and when Portugal was secretly proud that their plan was about to be realized, the most controversial scene of the game appeared: In the 117th minute, Wiltord hit the sand with a supplementary shot in the penalty area. Weil, the Austrian referee Benko unwisely awarded France a penalty in ambiguous circumstances!

Although Xavier himself tried desperately to explain to the referee that he did not touch the ball with his hands, and Figo and others also expressed their indignation and dissatisfaction to the referee, none of these actions could change the result of the penalty.

In the end, with a highly controversial penalty scored by Zidane, the French reached the European Cup final again after a lapse of 16 years, while the Portuguese, who was killed by a golden ball, returned with hatred!

After witnessing the team being eliminated because of a referee's misjudgment, the young and energetic Nuno Gomez could no longer restrain his anger, and tens of thousands of fans and even more people sat in front of the TV. Under the watchful eyes of the watching fans, this young striker, who had shined in this European Cup, blatantly launched a chasing attack on the referee of this game in public!

Although public opinion generally held a sympathetic attitude towards Portugal's exit, and there were some voices such as "UEFA recommended France to the final", but Gomez quickly paid for his violent behavior. The price-on the second day after the game, the UEFA Disciplinary Committee did not hesitate to impose an eight-month suspension ticket on the young Portuguese striker as a punishment and warning to Gomez!Of course, the scope of this suspension is limited to the national team.

As for UEFA's penalty, the French, who is the biggest beneficiary, naturally expressed strong support, and used it to analyze the wiseness and correctness of the referee's penalty kick in newspapers and TV - if not, why was he punished? Will it be Gomez, not the referee who made the penalty?

However, before the French were happy about this, another piece of news released by the UEFA Disciplinary Committee gave these complacent French people a slap in the face.Because the Austrian referee who was in charge of law enforcement in the semi-finals was also fined by the Disciplinary Committee to ban him from law enforcement in international A-level competitions for six months.
