The European Cup is definitely a major international event second only to the World Cup.

Although it is an intercontinental event, the overall competitiveness and performance are more prominent due to the gathering of European giants.

It can be said that the team that can enter the European Cup finals is a strong team in the world.

And the entire European Cup is a process of strong teams competing and strong dialogue.

Starting from June 7, batches of fans began to pour into the Warsaw Airport in Poland.

There are fans from third parties, but more are fans from Greece, Croatia and Portugal.

On June 8, groups of Croatian fans began to pour into Poland.

Dujmovic; "But it is precisely because of this attack that they tied the score!"

His jersey is also a special jersey with Suker's photo printed on the front and Modric on the back.

The president of UEFA even personally announced the start of the opening game!

The entire opening ceremony took a full hour.

"But now, any opponent who draws us will not be happy! Because we will kick their asses hard!"

Watching the two sides enter the game state on the field, everyone stared at the TV.

At this moment, the entire Croatian conference room was silent.

After all, except Besic, no one in Croatia can suppress these fearless guys!

The whole city has been in a hot mood since the morning.

They wore red and white uniforms, cheering and shouting in groups at the airport, and they kept raising the passionate atmosphere of football.

Poland took the lead in the first half.

After Poland attacked, Greece immediately launched a counterattack.

As the host, Poland's style of play is really courageous.

Everyone made comments.

Because Suk's small group has the power in the locker room, suppressing others, and under the suppression of Suk's reputation, it seems harmonious.

Clearly there are teammates in better positions, and it is clear that there is a transfer with that position as the axis to further contain.

In the 1996 European Cup, black players led by Davis and Seedorf had an internal conflict with white players such as De Boer. This farce ended with Davis insulting coach Hiddink and being kicked out of the training camp.

Huntelaar was in the penalty area, his throat was almost smoking, and Robben didn't even look at him.

Although he failed to score, the first attack and dangerous shots at the beginning still made Polish fans excited.

Obviously this is a former fan of the Croatian twins!

Srna: "The goalkeeper is fine, and the back line should not miss anyone!"

The players in the team come from various groups and clubs, with different skin colors and beliefs. It is difficult to unify these people.

"Mandzukic, the starting center who also plays for Bayern Munich, the runner-up of the Champions League, and the top scorer in the team!"

The game time is 65 minutes.

This moment is the most tense moment.

The old man said proudly; "Suker! Four Golden Ball winners, the best active player, Real Madrid's No. 9, and Croatia's No. 9. He is our sharpest offensive weapon. He has a certain magic that helps us solve any difficulties!"

The Czech Republic is certainly not weak, even if the Netherlands is in internal strife, it is difficult to upset, right?

Soon, after a break, the next game began.

But Greece is very stubborn and is still attacking frantically.

Suker did not respond, but he also thought that Greece's shooting was rough and Poland's defense was not cautious enough.

"Greece!"

"But after four years, this group of players has become stronger and more experienced, so we believe they can create miracles again!"

In 2008, Suker's removal of Bilic was also a kind of internal strife, but Suker had an overwhelming advantage at the time and quickly removed Bilic, which did not affect the field.

But even so, it still failed to prevent Greece from hitting a penalty.

Their game was held on June 10, and now there are only two days left.

In the conference room of the hotel where the Croatian national team stayed, in addition to the members of the Croatian national team, Davor Suker and other football association officials also came here to watch the opening ceremony together.

Even Suker and others narrowed their eyes slightly and became solemn.

At the same time, the 16 participating national teams also watched this scene on TV.

Robben ignored him at all, and soon his teammates pulled the angry Huntelaar away.

At this moment, under the light, the whole stadium was like daylight.

"This season's Champions League runner-up!"

The old fan emphasized the single defensive midfielder and emphasized the value of this.

But they also need to be careful, after all, Portugal must be trying their best to kill themselves.

Poland took the lead, and the defensive midfielder Murawski accurately found Kuba, who did not stop the ball and passed it directly.

But it was also for this reason that the Football Association and other relevant departments were afraid that Suker would do this again, so they asked Besic to come out.

The Polish goalkeeper was sent off with a red card and had to be replaced by substitute goalkeeper Titon.

Although they don't like the Czechs very much, after all, these guys always want to compete with them for the title of "Eastern European Iron Knights".

Greek fans are also unwilling to lag behind and carry out street bombing activities along another route.

The next day, the sky dimly lit up, with a hint of morning mist and morning dew. Along with the crowds, a wild atmosphere began to rise.

Already lagging behind, and with one less person to fight, Greece's situation became even worse.

Before Vukojevic could speak, Mandzukic suddenly said: "Yes! I remember it was in November last year. When he returned from the European Cup qualifiers, the corners of his mouth and eyes were a little blue. , even though he said he fell, he was definitely beaten!”

Players such as Vida and Strinic who were participating in this kind of competition for the first time could not help but become nervous.

"My hands are shaking!"

Polish fans began to take part. They marched and shouted on the streets, becoming a unique sight.

"Rakitic, one of Croatia's midfielders, plays for Sevilla in La Liga. This season's Europa League champion, he is also the core of the team's midfield!"

In the camera, the flags of the sixteen national teams are trembling on the upper edge of the stadium roof.

"If it were Su Ke, this would have been through!" Srna couldn't help but shake his head.

"After being unable to attack for a long time, they will not be able to withstand Poland's counterattack!"

Moreover, the two of them dislike each other. With Suk's character, this guy is definitely going to cause trouble.

Others nodded. They also felt that Greece's handling of the final shot was too rough.

As Modric said, Greece started a crazy offensive mode in the second half.

Croatia's current lineup is quite strong, and they don't want to expose too much of their tactics too early.

“This is the fucking Netherlands?”

Su Ke: "I'm more curious about the second game!"

At this moment, tension rushed over me.

However, they also relied on Lewandowski's scoring efficiency, so they attacked more fiercely in the hope of scoring first.

"The Netherlands will play the Czech Republic in the next game, right?" Vukojevic grinned; "It should be difficult for the Czech Republic to win!"

Suk grinned.

Mandzukic couldn't help but stretch: "Greece is still attacking aggressively even though it is lagging behind and has one less player!"

In the 2012 European Cup, small-scale unrest in the locker room caused them to exit the European Cup early without winning a game.

Mandzukic frowned and said: "The Netherlands must win!"

The surrounding Croatian fans raised their arms. At this moment, cheers and shouts surged into the sky at Warsaw Airport, like thunder.

"Tomorrow is the opening match. Poland plays Greece. Who do you think can win?"

The referee ran over and gave Szczesny a red card.

During the 2014 World Cup, three generals, Sneijder, De Jong and Kuyt, visited nightclubs in Brazil, which caused Van Gaal's displeasure. Later, it was revealed that Robben kicked his teammate Indi during training, and the legend of "Three Sticks" spread.

"Luka Modric, No. 10, playing for Manchester United, core midfielder, I don't think there is any need to introduce him, everyone knows him!"

Samaras calmly pulled the ball in disguise and got rid of Szczesny.

"Greece has wasted too many opportunities!"

But considering that it is the opening game and has not yet fully entered the state of the European Cup, it is understandable.

"at last."

Among the fans, there are also some media reporters. They are on-site reporters, mainly for interviews and to feel the heat of the European Cup up close to the fans in front of the TV.

Samaras leveled the score with a precise hit into the lower left corner of the goal.

Suk thought for a moment, then turned to Vukojevic and asked, "Did Robben have any disfigurement on his face this season?"

Just when he was about to take a single shot, Szczesny gave up the goal.

Vader held his trembling right hand firmly.

At the beginning of the game, both sides showed no intention of probing at all, and just started fighting each other with fists and fists.

This stadium can accommodate 60,000 fans to watch the game together.

And this also made the fans at the scene even more excited.

Even if there is no shooting space in front of you, don't pass it, just shoot it yourself!

Rakitic couldn't help grinning.

"The Netherlands plays against the Czech Republic?"

But when the ball goes wide, it's like holding the ball and rushing forward without passing the ball at all.

The entire stadium is covered with a red and white plaid pattern, quite like a waving Polish flag.

"There is no temptation at all!"

Suker was also watching the TV, and Huntelaar angrily found Robben to reason.

"There is still the second half!" Modric said; "Greece's offense is still very threatening, and it should be able to get the score back in the second half!"

Tomorrow is the opening ceremony and opening match of the European Cup.

"Just defend well!" Lovren comforted; "It's up to them to score goals!"

But with a strong lineup and the status of defending champion, it is not enough to remain unnoticed.

"None of them pass the ball!"

This is Croatia’s opening game!

Their performance determines the outcome of the game. If they cannot get off to a good start, it will be difficult for them to cope.

The reason why the Croatian national team is harmonious is also based on Suker's prominent status and the reason why they were a club from the beginning.

80 minutes, Poland 1:1 Greece!

It seems reasonable, but as professionals, it is easy for the Croatian internationals to spot some of the Netherlands' unconventional passing options.

Greece is also considered a strong player in Europe. Although Poland has grown in recent years, stars such as Lewandowski, Kuba and Szczesny have emerged.

After that, the old fan took out a match list from his hand, pointed to the Croatian player information on it and said:

"Greece!"

Looking at the waving flags and listening to the deafening cheers, the passion in his heart was instantly ignited under the shouting.

Until the end of the game, the score remained unchanged.

At this point, the old man was full of pride.

"Internal strife! Definitely internal strife!"

The invited band sang!

"Believe me, if someone had drawn us ten years ago, the opponent would be very happy because they drew a fish!"

Finally, in the 76th minute, they seized an opportunity, with left winger Samaras dribbling the ball into the penalty area, and dribbling the ball in one step, continuing to drill through the back line and facing the goal.

"Damn! So nervous!" Davor Suk rubbed his hands.

If Suk and Modric have a bad relationship.

One call stirs up a thousand waves!

But in terms of overall ability, they are still more optimistic about Greece.

When he thought about playing under the attention of everyone tomorrow, he couldn't help but be nervous.

In the first match, the two sides tied 1:1.

"I think it's Greece too!"

At 5:55, the Polish and Greek teams appeared on the TV screen.

Time unknowingly came to five o'clock in the afternoon.

The Warsaw National Stadium is located on the banks of the Vistula River.

After this goal, the two sides seemed to enter a tacit silence.

They lined up in the player tunnel, ready to go out.

The entire conference room was extremely quiet.

Beep!

A sharp whistle sounded.

The day after tomorrow is the game, and they also need to be prepared.

But at this moment, Szczesny was unwilling to let the opponent's advance, and directly grabbed Samaras' ankle with his hand and dragged him to the ground.

Found that this guy turned his head and glanced at Huntelaar, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

From morning to afternoon, the whole city of Warsaw was in a strong atmosphere of competition.

Mandzukic turned his head to look at Suker; "What about you?"

This stadium, which was built in 2008 and completed in 2011 after 4 years of construction, will be put into use for the first time in this game.

Although they don't want to be the focus.

One of the Polish female reporters found an elderly Croatian fan.

"This is intense!"

"Let me show you our lineup!"

The opening ceremony went smoothly.

At this point, the old fan raised his arms excitedly; "I can't wait! Croatia! Long live!"

Vida looked up and saw Suker, Modric, Srna and others sitting there with calm expressions in front of him.

A large number of Greek, Polish and third-party fans poured in to cheer for the opening ceremony and the opening game.

"Poland scored a goal!"

Everyone would think so, but the Netherlands would have internal strife at this time.

"We are looking forward to this European Cup. In 2008, we won the European Cup. At that time, the average age of Croatia was only 25 years old. This is an absolute legend of the youth army!"

Some tactical preparations were made for the Portuguese lineup, but more of it was to continue their own style of play.

As Suker said, after 20 minutes, the two teams obviously adapted to the rhythm of the game.

Everyone chatted for a while and soon returned to the hotel.

"Vukojevic, the main defensive midfielder of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, a single defensive midfielder!"

In fact, infighting in national teams is not uncommon, and France and the Netherlands are both professional infighting.

"It's about to start!"

"Srna, Croatia's right back, currently plays for Real Madrid. He is the captain of Croatia and the creator of three consecutive Champions League titles. He is definitely our right-wing defensive gate!"

Both sides seemed to have acquiesced to this score.

Poland no longer attacked!

Greece no longer counterattacked.

There were also football legends who appeared to preach.

This old fan is about 70 years old, but he is still energetic.

Continuous backcourt passes, sudden change of rhythm, Greek midfielder Maniatis passed the ball forward, Greek center forward Yekas shoveled, but Polish goalkeeper Szczesny was extremely focused and successfully saved.

The national team is a group organization.

"Let's take a look at the front line~~ Oh hoo~~~"

At that time, Croatia will also have internal strife.

Of course, their aggressive attack also brought some hidden dangers, that is, their central defender Papastathopoulos had no choice but to foul in Poland's counterattack, and took his second yellow card and was sent off.

"What's going on? Kick like this!"

The ball was suspended in the air, Lewandowski jumped up suddenly, headed the ball, and the ball went into the net.

For these veterans who have experienced many battles, this pressure can't shake them at all.

However, considering the geographical location and the strength of the Netherlands, I still hope that the Czech Republic can upset this powerful team.

Everyone said.

But most of the nervous people were young people, such as Kovacic and Brozovic.

In the 27th minute, Poland, as the host, scored the first goal.

Netherlands 1:3 Czech Republic.

The old man said with great interest; "Perisic, Dortmund's winger, double champion of the Bundesliga and German Cup, this guy has very good shooting skills!"

The internal strife in the Netherlands can be traced back to the Cruyff era when they refused to participate in the competition due to disagreements with the Football Association.

The camera gave Robben a very mean shot.

And at this moment, Vida's heart was slightly comforted.

This is not considered an internal conflict?

It's just that Poland has more possession, but Greece has more threats to goals.

Suker also grinned slightly.

The training base where the Croatian national team is located is also preparing for the game.

All this tells them that the quadrennial European Cup is about to begin!

After the kick-off, Polish player Kuba directly lobbed the ball forward, looking for Lewandowski, who volleyed the ball and the ball flew out of the crossbar.

But Greece also has a problem, that is, it can't seize the opportunity!

Especially their center forward Yekas, who wasted several opportunities.

Some people looked indifferent, and some looked nervous.

"The concentration has decreased, and the physical strength is not enough!"

It is estimated that Robben was beaten up by the young players he bullied in the national team at this time.

And this time, Huntelaar applauded and cheered on the side, but was also hated by Robben, and the legend of the iron stick will also begin from this.

If nothing unexpected happens, in one of the matches of this European Cup, the foul-mouthed Huntelaar will be played in a mixed doubles match by Van Persie and Robben!
