PS1: This is the update on Saturday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I won’t stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

The news that the Netherlands was defeated by Italy in the quarter-finals has caused considerable shock to the fans. After all, the passionate and gorgeous Orange Army has a very high popularity among the fans, so their exit will naturally attract great attention. Of course, Italian fans who are celebrating the team's successful advance to the semi-finals are definitely not included.

As one of the favorites to win this European Cup, the Netherlands was eliminated early in the quarter-finals. This result is naturally unacceptable to the Dutch Football Association, which was ambitious before the start of the European Cup. In their opinion, even if the team failed to win the cup due to accidents, they should reach the semi-finals at the most, rather than being sent back to their hometown just after qualifying in the group stage.

Although the direct reason for the early elimination of the Orange Legion was that they met the defending champion Italy, which was also a favorite to win the championship in the quarterfinals, the fundamental reason was that the Netherlands performed poorly in the group stage. They drew Germany first and then lost to the Czech Republic in the first two games. It was not until they defeated Latvia, the weakest in the group in the last round, and finally escaped and fell to the second place in the group, which led them to meet Italy in advance.

Poor record, reversed by opponents one after another in the game, and extremely conservative play... In general, the Netherlands' performance in this European Cup is really hard to convince people.

Therefore, after the Italian match ended, the Dutch Football Association held an emergency meeting overnight and fired Edvocart on the grounds of poor performance in leading the team, which was considered to find a scapegoat for the team's bad trip to Portugal, so that the fans would not burn their anger to their heads.

While the impact of this head-on battle between the Netherlands and Italy slowly fermented under the influence of time, the last game of the European Cup quarter-finals also came to an end. Under the leadership of Nedved, the Bohemia Cavalry defeated the Swedish team, which had already shown signs of no sign of being young and yellow, and became the last team to advance to the European Cup semi-finals!

With the double score in this game, Czech striker Barros successfully surpassed Diego Milito, who had already scored four goals in this European Cup, and rose to the top of the scorer list with five goals!

Barroche's outstanding performance in this European Cup made his current club and Premier League giant Liverpool club feel full of joy. Although after the end of the 2003-04 season, the senior Reds' leaders sent away the team for six years but never made any breakthroughs in the league battlefield. They can only show off their strength in domestic cup matches such as the League Cup and the FA Cup, and invited Espanyol Rafa Benitez, who led Valencia to win the La Liga championship, as the team's new coach. At the same time, they also plan to upgrade the team's lineup this summer, but this series of actions has caused Liverpool to bear a heavier financial burden.

To this end, Liverpool has been selling players who Benitez marked as "for sale" recently, trying to relieve their own financial pressure. And their sales list even includes Michael Irving, the forward ace of the England national team, known as the Golden Boy!

To be honest, Liverpool had no intention of selling Irving at the beginning, but Irving's attitude of refusing to renew the contract made Liverpool extremely passive. Because Irving's statement was known to everyone in the world. In this way, even if they want to sell Irving to other teams, it will be difficult to sell it at a high price. After all, no club will pay high transfer fees for a player with only one year left in the contract, and taking the opportunity to lower the price is the most normal practice.

Now, Barroche, who has been mediocre after entering the Premier League, has made the sudden outbreak of this European Cup, which has been in a difficult situation, finally made the decision to cash out Irving. After all, for Liverpool, instead of forcing Irving to stay in one year, it is better to sell him with one year left in the contract and exchange him for some transfer fee to reduce the financial burden.

Therefore, as Barros' performance in the European Cup gets better and better, and even vaguely shows signs of winning the European Cup Golden Boot, Liverpool Club is naturally extremely satisfied. Because in this way, they don't have to worry about the substitute issue after Irving left. Barros, who is also very fast and has a good dribbling skill, is the best candidate!

If Zhuang Mingge knew that Liverpool's management was considering the problem this way, then he would definitely complain about these guys who always take it for granted - Barroche scored high efficiency in the Czech national team because behind him is Nedved, Rosici, a top midfielder, sent him shells, and Jan Kohler, a top-notch high center forward with his ability to support, to attract firepower, do you Liverpool have such strong capital?

The talk is too far, and now it's back to the point. When the European Cup semi-finals are released with the anticipation of thousands of fans, the first European Cup semi-finals will be held on time on June 30 at Alvarad Stadium in Lisbon!

Here I will introduce the two sides to this game. The two teams that appear at Alvarad Stadium today are the host of this European Cup Portugal and the defending champion Italy. These two teams will have a fierce competition on this stadium and do their best to a ticket to the finals of the European Cup!

It has to be said that as the host of this European Cup, the Portuguese Football Association, which is determined to win the Deraune Cup in the local area, has brought their home advantage to the extreme. In addition to the first game of the group stage, the Fire Dragon Stadium in Porto, Portugal has never left Lisbon in the following few games, that is, the venue is exchanged between Alvarad Stadium and the Light Stadium to fool people. This arrangement of the Portuguese Football Association allows the Portuguese national team to maximize the trouble of travel fatigue in the European Cup, where the schedule is extremely dense, so that every game can be welcomed at the best condition!

In contrast, Italy, Guimarães - Porto - Guimarães - Farro/Rore - Lisbon, after a big round, not to mention whether the players' competitive state will be affected, there will definitely be certain physical problems.
