Chapter 185 Sad Czech Republic

Chapter 185 Sad Czech Republic

The Geneva Stadium, which has been noisy for 90 minutes, has finally calmed down. The Machete Star and Moon flag is still waving in the stands. The faces of the Turks are full of joy, while the Czechs are full of sadness.

Petr Cech sat on the court and buried his head deeply in his chest. He still can't believe what kind of evil he has fallen into. As one of the top three goalkeepers in the world, he actually In front of the Turkic cavalry, it collapsed.

Rosicky lay on the ground, looking up at the sky in Geneva, tears streaming down his face, his European Championship was over, it was over.

In the stands, in front of the TV, people who like Czech football are also disappointed. One game has witnessed the end of an era.

Back then, the Czech team that was born in England in 1996 has now become a memory. The Czech team that died tragically in the group stage in the Netherlands and Belgium in 2000 has declined. Today, in the 2008 European Cup, the aging Eastern European iron cavalry is no longer invincible. When the Turks used the Jedi counterattack to squeeze the aging Czech Republic out of the top eight, the former Czech golden generation will also bid farewell to the stage of history. , The heavy rain falling on the Geneva stadium may be the elegy played for them.

Although the four winters and summers that time flies can change many things, when Bruckner led an almost identical Czech team from Portugal to Switzerland and Austria, people had to lament that the Czech Republic was really old. The imposing host Switzerland, when the old coach Brückner sent a defensive 451, when the 35-year-old Jan Koller wasted consecutive opportunities in the game, and when the 35-year-old Garasek made two consecutive big mistakes in the game, People have to lament the age of this Czech team, and have to lament that time is not forgiving.

Garasek and Jan Koller, who are both 35 years old, are the last representatives of the Czech golden generation. In the 2007/2008 season, the Bundesliga Nuremberg team played by the two veterans was relegated. De Ved retired from the national team, but the old coach Bruckner had to pin his great hopes on the two. Their experience is the key to the Czech team's possibility of breaking out of the group, and in the life and death with Turkey During the battle, they did rejuvenate for a time, but it was a pity that their old bodies fell under the machete of the Turks in the end.

?.

Before the start of this European Cup, Jan Koller had admitted that he would hang up his boots and retire after this cup. He was looking forward to a perfect ending to his career in Switzerland and Austria. The group qualifying may be what Gao Lao set for himself. The lowest goal, and Jan Koller did perform well in the game. His height advantage and header power once disturbed the Turkish defense.

With a height of 202cm and a weight of 103kg, Jan Koller is definitely the number one football giant in the past 10 years, and the Czech team's attack strategy today is also quite clear, that is, to pay close attention to the counterattack of the Turkish team and use the speed of the two wings to fight. On Kohler's head, although this trick seems very simple, who can guard against Kohler on the green field?

In the 33rd minute of the game, Garasek intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed it to Grygera on the right. The ball bounced off the crossbar and into the net. This is the third goal of the 35-year-old Jan Koller in this European Cup. , It is also the third goal of the Czech team in this European Cup.

In the 60th minute of the game, the Czech team launched an attack with a long pass in the backcourt. After Jan Koller successfully reversed offside, he formed a one-on-one challenge with Demirel in the penalty area, but the Czech giant's shot went slightly wide.

However, Prashiel's goal after one minute made people briefly forget the opportunity wasted by Jan Kohler. However, Kohler's kick was destined to be mentioned repeatedly after the game ended.

Would it have been different if Jan Koller had scored that goal?

If it is said that Kohler once used a goal in the game to prove that he is still young, then Galasek's old age is too sad.

If the first two goals of the Turkish team had nothing to do with Garasek, then part of the responsibility for the third goal lost by the Czech Republic must be borne by the 35-year-old veteran.

In the 89th minute of the game, the Turkish goalkeeper took a goal kick to the frontcourt. Galasek was completely at a disadvantage when he competed with Tonchay for the top. When Altintop pushed the ball from the middle, he was only three meters away from him. Galasek, however, was unable to make a quick recovery. The 35-year-old veteran was indeed very tired, and his legs were exhausted at this time. Galasek could only watch Altintop helplessly. Send a wonderful direct pass, and then kill his beloved Czech national team.

The Czechs won the game, but they could only accept the fate of being eliminated in one group, only because of the conceded goal at the last moment. The three teams of the Czech Republic, Belgium, and Turkey also had two wins and one loss, but a goal difference was enough to kill. kill them.

The European Cup of the Czechs is over. After the summer of 2008 in Switzerland and Austria, there will definitely be a large number of Czech internationals saying goodbye to the national team. Bruckner will lead the golden generation to bid farewell to the stage of history. From 1996 to 2008, they have created green There are countless classics and miracles, but heroes always have to say goodbye.

After a dramatic game, Turkey finally had the last laugh with a goal difference advantage. Prasil, who scored a goal for the Czech Republic in this game, could only watch helplessly on the bench as his opponent played at the last moment. To score that fatal goal.

Tasting the bitterness of being eliminated with the team, I am afraid that the Czech coach Brückner, who is standing next to Prasil, will also regret the adjustment of replacing this Czech iron waist in advance.

Prasil's performance today did not disappoint. He is one of the hardest-working players on the court tonight, and he is also the most threatening player in the Czech team. He has repeatedly instigated threatening attacks and made Turkey's goal constantly dangerous .

Of course, the most outstanding moment of Placier was when he received a wonderful pass from Sionke, and then scored a shovel to break the net, helping the team expand the score to 2:0. Prashill's goal seemed to show that the qualifying places were within reach.

However, Prasir was replaced in the 80th minute, which became a turning point in the game. Bruckner replaced Prasir with Kadlec at this time, intending to strengthen the defense, but also to better preserve Prasir. Hill's stamina.

But he didn't want his opponent to score that goal at the end, and what Bruckner didn't think was that perhaps because of a goal difference, he and his team were about to bid farewell to the European Cup.

At the last moment, one of the most important reasons why Turkey dared to attack was Prasir's end, which immediately relieved the pressure on their defense, and Kadlek, who was still inexperienced, could hardly intercept as effectively as Prasir. The opponent's offensive was finally unable to stop the opponent's goal, and the team was reversed and eliminated.

This European Cup is the second European Cup that Prasil participated in. Compared with the young rookie in the last European Cup, he has experienced the baptism of the Portuguese European Cup and the German World Cup. Now Prasil He has become more mature, and he, who is known as the "new Nedved", has also secured his position as the team's main player.

The importance of Prasil, who is fierce in interception and outstanding in consciousness, to the Czech national team is also increasing day by day. After his outstanding performance in this European Cup, Prasil has further established his position in the team.

It's a pity that Prasil left the field too early. If he could stay on the field, maybe the result would be completely different.

With the tears of the Czechs, the Turks had the last laugh. Under the unfavorable situation of being two goals behind, the Xingyue Legion relied on Nihat's goal at the last moment. Although they still lost the game 1:2, they won. To the right to qualify.

After the game, Turkish coach Trim looked very happy: "I am very proud to have such a group of players. They understand the truth that a football game is always not over until the referee blows the whistle. We use actions Proving to fans all over the world what a team we are, we said we came here to fight until the end, and we are now working hard to make that dream come true."

Compared to Trim's short speech, Turkish captain Altintop, who played for Bayern Munich, was more talkative: "To be honest, our performance in the first half was terrible, even when the team fell behind 0:2. At the time, no one believed that anything else was going to happen, we just played on the pitch, but you have to admit, the manager made a great adjustment, he put me in the midfield, our organization Started to be very efficient. Then we had a turnaround, mainly due to the revival of the wings, we played more crosses, which I think was decisive, and then we noticed that the confidence of the Czech team was improving. Gradually crumbling, we managed to seize the advantage."

A saying that people often hang on their lips is that as long as there is 1% possibility, you must try your best.

But these words are just on the lips, nothing more.

But the Turkish team did this in this game. When they were behind 0:2, they staged a shocking reversal at the last moment and stayed. The existence of the Turkish team is a blessing for the European Cup .

It was another heavy rain, and another incredible game. A few days ago, in a heavy rain, the Turkish team scored two goals in stoppage time, completed the final lore, and eliminated the host Switzerland. Today's game was even more dramatic, with a last-minute goal knocking out the Czech Republic.

The Czechs had the upper hand for most of the game, and the first half belonged to Jan Koller. The 202cm giant proved his worth, with aggressive defense, wide range of movement, and unparalleled header skills to make opponents impossible to defend. Grigera's assist and Jan Koller's header scored a goal, replicating the moment of scoring against the US team in the first game of the World Cup two years ago.

Although compared with two years ago, the Czech Republic has no Nedved, and the midfield organization has less impact, but with their excellent defense, as well as the two big men in the front and backcourt Jan Koller and Petr Cech, they are stable. The style of play still prevailed. Prashir's goal seemed to make the last 15 minutes less suspenseful, but the Turks didn't think so.

Turks have never lacked passion, but they often survive in times of adversity, not only by passion. During the game, a detail of Nihat left a deep impression on people.

At that time, after a round of offense in Türkiye, the teenager Kaqim made a hasty kick. Kazim was given high hopes by Trim, but he lacked experience in the competition. After coming off the bench today, he was like a flustered deer, bumping around and wasting a lot of opportunities.

But at this time, Nihat did not lament or yell, but made a gesture of pressing down on Kaqim, meaning, don't worry, little brother, we still have time, keep calm .

The Turks' calmness and determination to win allowed them to have the last laugh.

That's right, Cech's low-level mistake was the turning point of the game, but when Altintop passed the ball, Nihat was originally behind Ujfalusi, and the opponent stopped, but Nihat was still behind. Persisting in rushing forward, he seized this opportunity. If he gave up early, there would be no fatal blow.

In fact, the Turkish team did not play well most of the time. The midfield organization Aurelio did not perform well and did not organize any decent offensive. But in this game, the performance of the Turks told people all over the world that winning a football game depends not only on technology, stars, tactics, but also psychology, perseverance and spirit.

They have proved with their actions that as long as there is 1% hope, they must do their best.

Football is a man's game, and the bloody spirit of the Turks proves that they are real men. Now, who else would underestimate them?

Turkey had the last laugh with iron and blood, and the Czechs could only bid a sad farewell, because in another game played at the same time, the Belgians won.

Before the start of the game, the Swiss team publicly stated that even if they had been eliminated early, they would do their best in the last game to defend the dignity of the host, but the Belgians did not give them this chance.

Fellaini, who ended the suspension, returned to the game, and beside him were captain Gur and Na England, who performed well in the previous game. Antiiennis gave up two wings and played a formation of two forwards. Laras and Bratt play together for the first time.

The first half of the game belonged to the hosts. They did fulfill their pre-match promises, tried their best, and created a lot of scoring opportunities. It is a pity that facing the Belgian defense line that is united as one, they lacked a final decision. The character has become the flaw of the Swiss team.

When entering the intermission, the two sides were still 0:0. At that time, on another field, the Czechs led Turkey. If the game ended like this, Belgium would not be able to avoid the fate of being eliminated.

This time Degan was also in a hurry. During the intermission, he broke into the locker room, grabbed Gul by the collar, and yelled at the hero of Belgian football.

Gul wasn't angry, he could understand Degan's mood, he knew very well that this young superstar didn't want to be a spectator on his first trip to the European Cup.

"We will win!"

This is a man's promise to a man, which made Degan calm down instantly.

"I'm sorry, I just hope that you can give me a chance to play!"

At this moment, Degan regretted it for the first time. He made a move when faced with provocations from his companions. If he had been able to calm down at that time, everything would not be what he is now. He is confident that he can lead his team Sweep any opponent in the group, but now, he can only give this trust to his teammates.

Belgians were on target early in the second half, with a young Miralas scoring his first goal for the national team with a header from inside the box that opened the door for Belgium to win.

The next game completely entered Belgium's time. Although the Swiss team exhausted their efforts in the first half, they still resisted desperately, but the gap in strength made them unable to resist the raging European Red Devils.

On the other pitch, Fellaini's strike gave Belgium their lead to two goals after Prasher scored the Czech Republic's second.

Then, when the Turks started to counterattack, the goal of the old captain Gul helped the Belgian team to seal the victory.

In the next game, there was no suspense. The Turks completed a shocking reversal, and Belgium miraculously climbed to the first place in the group.

After the three rounds of the group stage, except for the Swiss team that was eliminated early, the other three teams also had two wins and one loss. In terms of goal difference, Belgium got three goal difference by virtue of the last big victory, Turkey two, One Czech team was eventually eliminated.

"I want to thank all the players!" At the press conference after the game, Antiiennis couldn't even restrain his excitement, his voice was a little choked, "We won, yes, we won, after A difficult period and now Belgium is back on track!"

Everyone knows what Antiiennis means, get back on track, yes, Degan is back, and he will once again shoulder the important task of leading the European Red Devils to the top of Europe.

Without Degan's Belgium, the Turks can play wild in front of them, and the Czechs can push them to a corner, but what about when Degan returns?

Perhaps the most worrying thing now is Croatia and Germany in Group B. No one wants to face Belgium with Digan. Even the proud Germans want to avoid it. The only way is to get the first place in Group B and to challenge Turkey.
