"Our semi-final opponent, Wales, has never been able to enter the main stage of the European Cup in the past, but this time it has been able to reach the top four, which is enough to prove that its own strength is indeed good.

. But the main reason is that they have restrained their opponents very well in the way of play before. They are also lucky enough and have not encountered a truly strong team. From this point of view of luck, we are not the same.

So!

However, luck is important, but in the semi-finals, hard power will ultimately determine the upper limit of a team. Although the Welsh team is not bad defensively, it is still too weak offensively.

Relying on Bell's role. Northern Ireland and Belgium have not really restricted him. Once Bell's position is cut off, Wales' offensive shortcomings will be exposed. Their group stage defeat against England

That battle is a good example.

In terms of competition experience, their European Cup recruits are much worse than us. Another major good news is that their general Ramsey has been suspended. So for winning this game,

I have great confidence in winning." At the pre-match meeting within the Portuguese team, coach Santos made the following report.

This analysis is quite accurate. At least judging from the process of the semi-finals on July 6, it really verified what he said. The players of the Portuguese team implemented it very well in this game.

However, the opponent Wales team played more passively after Bale was completely restrained, and the situation on the field soon completely turned to the Portuguese team.

The Welsh team was already two goals behind before the end of the first half, and these two goals were scored by Ronaldo and Nani respectively. Shortly after the start of the second half, Silva scored again with a long shot.

The Welsh team suffered another heavy blow and basically lost hope of going further. Then Leonard, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal in the second half of the second half to seal the victory. The Welsh team finally scored a goal at the last moment to save face.

The goal was scored because the Portuguese team relaxed its defense against Bell.

Although Li Zhao did not score a goal in this game, he also contributed two wonderful assists to the team. This in itself may be more difficult than simply scoring a goal.

In the end, Portugal defeated Wales 4-1 and took the lead in qualifying for the final European Cup championship. This is also the place where they came closest to the championship again after 12 years. But that time in 2004, they were not at home.

I didn’t succeed, so I don’t know what my fate will be this time.

In another semi-final the next day, the French team relied on Griezmann's goals in the first and second half to defeat the German team 2-0 and get the remaining ticket to the final.

This undoubtedly makes the French people in the country very happy. After all, this is the closest the French team has come to winning the European Cup after so many years since winning the championship as the host in 1984. And more importantly, they have won the European Cup again this time.

Fighting at home. So will history repeat itself?

Judging from the historical confrontation and overall strength of the two teams, the French team is undoubtedly dominant, and the handicap given by the European betting company is also obviously in favor of the host French team. No matter how you look at it, their chances of winning are high.

It was significantly larger, so in the eyes of many people, it was reasonable for France to win the final victory.

In order to better regulate the tension of the players before the final, coach Santos gave them a half-day holiday as usual on July 8, but the scope of activities was still strictly controlled within the urban area, which also took many safety considerations into consideration.

factor.

It was also afternoon, and Dolsa and Li Zhao met at the gate of the resident hotel.

"Why don't we go to the only remaining iron tower today!" Li Zhao first suggested.

"Are you afraid that if you lose the final, you won't be in the mood to come again, so make plans in advance?" Doleza suddenly teased.

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? I can't think of any other places to go for the time being. Besides, there's no point in walking the same place again!" Li Zhao quickly argued, he was really afraid of Dolsa.

If you drag him shopping like last time, committing the same crime once is enough. Doing it twice is asking for abuse.

"I do have a destination here, which is the Stade de France. Grandpa Felix suggested this! By the way, he has recovered and been discharged from the hospital, so I made an appointment with him, and then we can go there together."

Erza said suddenly.

"Really? That's pretty good." Li Zhao said happily.

The two didn't wait long before Felix's figure appeared not far away, looking much better.

"Hello, you two little guys!" Felix shouted loudly from a distance.

"How about you, Grandpa Felix! Welcome back." Li Zhao and Li Zhao responded in unison.

"Haha, yes! Fortunately, our Portugal persisted until the last game, so I can finally return to the scene to cheer them on in the final." When talking about this matter, Felix couldn't help but sigh.

road.

So the three of them walked and chatted, heading towards the town of Saint-Denis at the other end of the Paris region, where their destination, the Stade de France, was also located.

The Stade de France is the venue for the final of the European Cup. More importantly, this stadium also hosted the 1998 World Cup final, and it was here that the host France won the championship.

What Li Zhao and the others did not expect was that the coach of the French team and another person were also there at the moment. Although there were still two days until the final on July 10, they came here today.

The moment Deschamps stepped into this stadium, he seemed to feel a special atmosphere and longed for the former glory of this stadium.

He was also accompanied by a heavyweight, the legendary superstar who led the French team to the top of the world in that World Cup - Zinedine Zidane. Although the two are quite different in age, they are

They are also very good friends.

This year's European Cup is the most special one in 56 years. It not only has to face the threat of European terrorism and the embarrassment of UEFA being leaderless, but also has the task of helping French football regain its glory. It also has to hold the competition for the current competition system.

A perfect farewell ceremony, it will also be the last time the European Cup is held under the current format. The 2020 European Cup will adopt new rules, and the competition venues will be jointly held in 13 countries. The significance of this battle is extraordinary.

Generally speaking, there is no room for error for the French team. Because of this, Zidane temporarily put aside the club's affairs and came to help out at short notice. He also hopes that he can play a role for Deschamps as the coach.

some help.

But Deschamps seemed to have a plan in mind, and said proudly to Zidane beside him: "We have defeated the German team, the most threatening opponent in this European Cup, not to mention that our current lineup is still very complete.

, In comparison, the Portuguese team is not that strong. They are lucky to be able to reach this point, but that’s it. We will beat them again like we did several times before. We can win here.

It feels so good, and the day after tomorrow will be the moment to witness a new round of history. Zinedine, what do you think?"

"It's hard to say this! After all, football is round. If the result can be determined simply by comparing the strengths and weaknesses, then there won't be so many classics. Everything can only be determined on the day of the finals.

I finally found out. And I don’t know why, I’m always a little worried, it seems something went wrong, but I can’t tell for a while.” Zidane’s response was somewhat beyond Deschamps’ expectations.

"Haha, what you said is correct, but there is only one Ronaldo who needs to be careful in the Portuguese team. But of course I have ways to deal with him. As long as he cannot play his due role, then the others will not be able to do anything.

I've thought about it." Deshang didn't take it seriously, and still looked indifferent.

"Cristiano Ronaldo's role is not only reflected in his own ability, but also the encouragement of his teammates cannot be ignored. In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, the new members of the Portuguese team should also pay attention to their performance on the court.

The effect is not small." Deschamps' response made Zidane frown slightly, obviously not satisfied, but he still reminded him kindly.

"You are still as cautious as ever! In my opinion, although those children have some abilities, they are not enough for me to pay enough attention to. But since you said so, then whatever, I will put in more effort.

Come on!" Deschamps couldn't refute his face after all, but obviously he still didn't pay much attention to it.

"I hope I'm worrying too much! Well, I wish you good luck!" Zidane also knew that Deschamps was giving him face, so he could only say helplessly.

Deschamps was still very happy for Zidane's blessing, but the conflicting views between the two people today made it impossible to continue on this topic, so he could only change the topic to other aspects, and also tried

At the end of the game, I stretched my muscles.

But the previous topic made Deschamps feel uninterested, so after chatting with Zidane for a while, he said goodbye and left.

After being alone in the middle of the huge stadium for a long time, Zidane could only helplessly shake his head and smile bitterly. Just as he was about to leave, he happened to meet Li Zhao and his party who had just arrived here.

"Hello, Mr. Zidane!" Li Zhao did not expect to meet this person he admired here, so he took the lead in saying hello after the surprise.

Of course, Deshang, who left first, failed to meet them, so he naturally missed this rare chance meeting.

"Who are you~? Oh, I remembered, it's you little guy! It seems that Louis guy is here now, right?" Zidane couldn't recognize Li Zhao at first, but he realized it

The speed is also very fast.
Chapter completed!
