***********
June 6th is a sad day for Switzerland, one of the hosts of this European Cup.Although they knew in advance that the team was destined to be eliminated, today their fans will have to go to the stadium to send their beloved team the last ride.

Perhaps even God is sad for Switzerland. It rained a lot in Basel today. Standing on the banks of the Rhine and watching the Swiss fans rushing to the stadium in the rain, I was really moved and sad by them.But the cold rainy night can not stop the enthusiasm of the fans. The St. Jacobs Stadium still continues the fine tradition of being full since the start of this European Cup. The Swiss fans, as always, gave the team strong support.

***********
"Before the game, you could smell the tense atmosphere of the police around the stadium. Indeed, if the host country loses all three games, it is inevitable that fans will make trouble. The surrounding area of ​​the St. Jacobs Stadium is heavily guarded, traffic is stagnant, and there are some temporary structures. However, in a compound 500 meters away from the stadium, there are "hidden" more than 10 police cars and 4 fire trucks. All security personnel are on standby in the car at any time, and understand the situation outside the stadium by phone. … ...Here is Sky reporter Keely Hazel reporting from Basel."

The tragic game between Switzerland and Portugal obviously has nothing to do with the England team. From the words of the English players, there is no such tense atmosphere. They are talking and laughing in the conference room, waiting Watch this game.

Portugal is in the top half, unless Portugal reaches the final and England also reaches the final, it is impossible for the two teams to meet.However, Mourinho arranged for the whole team to watch the live broadcast of the game.

On the last day of the group stage of each group, the two games started at the same time. On another venue, the Geneva Stadium in Switzerland, the Czech Republic will compete with Turkey for another qualifying place.

***********
"Li, I remember that you are very familiar with this Miss Hazel." Terry said, looking at the sexy and decent Keeley Hazel in professional attire on the TV screen.

"Don't listen to the media's nonsense." Li Rui quickly defended, "It's just that Keeley Hazel once interviewed me... Wayne also knows about it." After speaking, Li Rui glanced at Terry, "John , your eyes... tsk tsk."

At this time, Bridge put his arms around Terry's neck and said with a smile, "It's really beautiful...or, let's go together..."

Li Rui was drinking coffee, almost choked, rolled his eyes, and ignored the pair of Chelsea brothers... A few years later, when a very sensational incident broke out, Li Rui was even more speechless...

***********
The match between Switzerland and Portugal has already started. In this game, as the first Portuguese team to get tickets to the quarter-finals of this cup, as many as 8 players have been replaced in the starting lineup. Only Ricardo, Pepe and Ferre The three main players retained their starting lineup.The host Switzerland team, which was the first to be eliminated, played a strong battle for honor.

Seeing the starting rosters of both sides, Li Rui laughed, and he poked the little fat man beside him, "Wayne, bet or not, I bet Switzerland will win."

The little fat man looked at Li Rui, as if he was checking whether Li Rui had lost his mind. Of course, Rooney could see that the Portuguese had hidden a lot of their main players, but the little fat man still didn't think Portugal would lose to Switzerland.

Thus, a gamble of 200 pounds began.

***********
At the end of the first half, Switzerland and Portugal were still 0-0. The little fat man rolled his eyes, and he was quite sure. After all, he was betting that Portugal would not lose. In his opinion, there would be no problem.

In the 71st minute, the Swiss team made a direct pass from the right side of the midfielder. Deldiyok turned his back and hit the wall directly behind him. Hakan Yakin stopped the ball for a while and raised his foot to shoot. Flying over and into the net...Switzerland 1:0 Portugal...At this moment, Li Rui glanced at Rooney, the little fat man gulped...

10 minutes later, Swiss striker Barnetta was tripped by Portuguese midfielder Mela in the penalty area. Hakan Yakin scored a penalty kick-Switzerland 2:0 Portugal!
The little fat man's hands were shaking and he felt dizzy...

Li Rui hugged his striker partner, "Wayne, what's wrong with you, what's wrong? Doctor, doctor, he's twitching..."

The next day, when the little fat man saw Li Rui, his eyes glowed golden... "Li, you are a god of gamblers, let's bet together... and win the whole world!"

Li Rui rolled his eyes, "Idiot!"

***********
In the end, in this game, the host Switzerland, which had been eliminated early, defeated Portugal, which had already qualified ahead of schedule, 2:0 in this battle of honor.

For the host Switzerland coach Kuhn, this night was sad, but also happy.He failed to lead the team to the top 16, but he received the highest respect from all players and fans on the court.At the end of the game, when the players hold the banners to thank him, it is one of the most beautiful moments in his life. For Kuhn himself, it is perfect to end his national team coaching career in such a way after 7 years full stop.

***********
However, when the head coach Mourinho played some wonderful shots of the match between the Czech Republic and Turkey recorded by the coaching staff to the players, everyone was stunned, because this game can be overwhelmed by ups and downs. describe.

The Czech team launched a wild attack at the beginning of the game. In the 34th minute, the Czech team, which insisted on attacking, went down first. Grigera broke through from the right and made a pass. Jan Kohler jumped high in the middle and smashed the ball into the goal ! 1-0.

In the 62nd minute, the Czech team made another victory. Sionko made a cross from the right and made a point. Enter the gate! 2 to 0.

Seeing this, almost everyone thought that the Czechs would win the game and advance to the quarter-finals, but then the Turkish team staged a Jedi counterattack. Turan tied the score to 75:1 in the 2th minute. Then, Niha Te scored two goals in the 87th and 89th minutes.Although goalkeeper Vulkan was sent off for a malicious foul, Turkey, who played with 10 people, won the victory and advanced to the quarterfinals with Portugal.

However, in order to advance, Turkey also paid a very heavy price. The goalkeeper Vulcan was suspended, and the midfielder Aurelio will also be suspended for one game with two yellows.

***********
After showing the highlights of the game, Mourinho said before driving the players back to their respective rooms to sleep, "Now, who still thinks that the game against Sweden will be easy?"

Of course, no one answered, but the next day, Mourinho noticed that the blind optimism in the team had faded a lot, and the 'madman' knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved.

'I really want to thank the Czechs'.Mourinho said that at noon that day, the madman sent a text message to comfort Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech, who was also his favorite player at Chelsea.

***********
On the second day, under the watchful eyes of the whole team routinely watching the game, the German team beat the host Austria 1-0. While eliminating the host, they also won the right to qualify as No.2 in the group. Ballack's kick directly Score from a free kick was the only goal in the game. However, the focus of this game was not on the court, but on the sidelines. In 39 minutes, the coaches of the two teams, Loew and Hicksberg, had an argument outside the court, and the result was rejected by the referee. Both penalty in the stands.

In another game, Croatia, which qualified ahead of schedule, faced Poland.After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, Croatia, who finally came off the bench, defeated Poland 1-0 and qualified for the first place in the group. In the 52nd minute, Klashnic scored the only goal of the game with a low shot from a small angle in the penalty area.After the game, the scene of Klashnic, the famous "kidney fighter", running wildly after scoring a goal, occupied the headlines of the major media, which made people awe-inspiring.

***********
On June 6th, on the training ground, Li Rui showed a very hot state. In the team match, he scored 17 goals with his head and kicks. Thinking about whether to secretly put butter on the soles of Li Rui's feet...

Li Rui is in good condition. This is the news that England fans like to hear the most. It is said that when the news about the training spread to England, the sales of beer in some bars in England increased by at least [-]%.

After dinner, the whole England team appeared in the conference room 'on time' again to watch the last match day of Group C. In Mourinho's team, eating and not obeying the rules is the most intolerable , In this regard, Mourinho adopted a zero-tolerance attitude, so late arrivals and violations of team rules have basically disappeared in the England team.This was also considered by tabloid reporters in England to be the biggest miracle of 2008.

Because England's opponent in the quarter is No.2 in Group C, so, for the live broadcast to be watched tonight, both the head coach Mourinho and the players attach great importance to it. The final opponent will be announced tonight. Of course, there is a premise that England can not lose to the Swedish team in the last game of the group stage to ensure the top spot in the group...

***********
Considering that the Dutch team has ensured that the top of the group has qualified, and Romania is not strong, so the opponent of the England team in the quarter-finals is most likely to be between Italy and France. Therefore, Murray Neo arranged for the players to watch the Italy VS France match, which was also the fourth matchup between the 2006 German World Cup winners and runners-up in the past two years...

Li Rui and the others did not expect that this match would be so dramatic...
